CinemaHere is a list of some of our favourite coming-of-age films made in Telugu in recent years — not just about children or adolescents, but also lost, aimless and confused adults.Screenshots from C/o Kancharapalem, Brochevarevarura and PareshanTelugu cinema has been in the spotlight lately, even more than before, with SS Rajamouli’s Rrr gaining international recognition. Even before the Baahubali films took the country by storm, Telugu action dramas got a new lease of life through their Hindi-dubbed versions on YouTube and TV channels. While these star vehicles and ‘mass entertainers’ gained more visibility, the Telugu film industry has also been producing many films on a smaller scale — slice-of-life films, crime comedies, comedy thrillers, and rom-coms that tell moving stories of ordinary people.

ReviewThe initial portions of the film are quite fun and remind you of the actor’s previous performances in films like ‘Venky', where he neither minded making self-deprecating jokes nor took himself too seriously.In Ravanasura, Ravi Teja’s character is the embodiment of the evil king Ravana. While the mythical Ravana never laid a finger on Sita despite keeping her in captivity, this Ravindra (played by Ravi Teja) proudly claims that he does not have such “ethics.” This Ravana has rape fantasies, but of course since he is the hero, filmmaker Sudheer Varma underplays this part and later makes a shoddy attempt to redeem his character with a moral justification. Ravanasura is not a bold film where Ravi Teja is experimenting with a negative character, but a regular commercial film that justifies his actions, albeit with some delay. Along with Ravi Teja, Ravanasura also stars actor Sushanth (playing Ram...

TollywoodSudheer Varma’s film doesn’t have turmoil or conflict or ethical dilemmas, nor does it invest in characters like a gangster movie should.Krishna SripadaThat Ranarangam is largely influenced by The Godfather is stating the obvious. It has too many shoot-people-and-get-done-with-it scenes to ignore. There aren’t long-winding dialogues about revenge and heroism, about power and ambition, about steel and gumption. The violence, although a little gory by Telugu movie standards, is not the central theme, and the alpha-hero-quotient is understated like in most Sharwanand movies. But, amidst the style and sexiness of gang-wars, director Sudheer Varma only manages to recreate the shallowness of Dohchay, not the masterful narrative of Swamy Ra Ra. Ranarangam traces the rise of a bunch of guys in the clean-crime world (if you know what I mean), who start with the illicit liquor business during the prohibition era in the 90s. There are the...
