From Kantara To Sita Ramam: 5 Films From The South That Have Received Acclaim

The South’s film industry is glistening like a bright star after the pandemic lockdown era. Every other film is breaking box office records and winning praise from the public. The audiences are receiving the correct package from Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada films, which include entertainment, experiences that are out of this world, and movies like KGF, RRR, Pushpa, and more. Bollywood does not produce the number of films that have become box office successes and received unanimous approval from viewers.

South films have shattered the glass with back-to-back smashes while Bollywood is still making tiny progress. Blockbusters produced in southern cities and distinguished by superhero characters, mythology, violence, romance, and stunning action sequences, such as Pushpa, an action drama, and Sita Ramam, a timeless love story. The use of visual effects is luring viewers back to the big screen. After a gloomy period of two years, that is all that is required.

Kantara

Kantara, a Kannada thriller that debuted on September 30 and clashed with the biggest film of the year, Ponniyin Selvan I, is getting overwhelmingly positive reviews from both reviewers and viewers. Kantara is proving to be a significant box-office success in Karnataka, where the movie is pulling in the highest numbers.

The director of Kantara is Rishab Shetty. The movie, in which Kishore, Sapthami Gowda, and Achyuth Kumar play key roles, is a story that takes place in a fictional forest named Kantara where certain customs lead to a battle between man and nature. Hombale Films, the KGF-famous producers, are funding it.

Bimbisara

Bimbisara, the Telugu movie in which star Nandamuri Kalyan Ram, played his role very well. The film is based on the life of Bimbisara, who lived in the fifth century BC and had the ability to travel through time to the present. Bimbisara was the ruler of the Magadha Kingdom. Samyuktha Menon, Catherine Tresa, Prakash Raj, and Nandamuri Kalyan Ram are among the actors who appear in it. The fantasy action movie Bimbisara was written and directed by Mallidi Vasishta, a recent addition to N. T. R. Arts.

Ponniyin Selvan I

Ponniyin Selvan I, Mani Ratnam’s magnum opus, and another movie not to be missed. Audiences enjoyed the visual delight of the writing and occasional drama. The movie has made more than 325 crores in gross worldwide in just seven days, according to trade sources. The key actors in the historical drama are Vikram, Karthi, Jayam Ravi, Jayaram, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, and Trisha. The same-named fictitious historical novel by Kalki Krishnamurthy has been adapted as Ponniyin Selvan.

Karthikeya 2

The mythical movie Karthikeya 2, starring Nikhil Siddhartha and Anupama, was one of Tollywood’s most eagerly awaited releases because it is a follow-up to the 2018 film Kartikeya 2. Given the success of the first part, it was predicted to do well in Telugu-speaking states, but it also impressed Hindi-speaking audiences. The movie was praised by audiences around the country and ended up being the biggest hit of 2022 thanks to RRR, KGF, and other stars.

Sita Ramam

Although Sita Ramam was predicted to perform well, this success was unexpected. The traditional love narrative, chemistry, and performance of the actors helped the romance movie connect with the viewers. Hanu Raghavapudi wrote and directed the film Sita Ramam, which starred Dulquer Salmaan as Lieutenant Ram, an Indian army soldier stationed at the Kashmir border who receives secret love letters from Mrunal’s Sita Mahalakshmi.
