Ami Thumi, a slapstick comedy is about the hilarious journey of two young couple’s (Eesha Rebba and Adivi Sesh, Srinivas Avasarala and Aditi Myakal) trying to save their relationships from family drama. Similar to Indraganti’s first major success, Ashta Chamma, this film also moves on a quick pace coupled with a myriad of entertaining scenes and enjoyable performances from the whole cast. A funny two-hour-twenty-minute film which delivers on its promises.
Director – Sagar Chandra

Inspired by true events of the 1990s, Sagar Chandra’s sports-based crime drama tells the story of an aspiring cricketer turned factionist (Sree Vishnu) who seeks revenge against a corrupt cop played by Nara Rohit. Consistent with its fresh, unorthodox storyline, commendable performances from the two male leads and a sumptuous climax, Appatlo Okadundevadu ended up as a flop during its theatrical run, not telecasted on TV to the commercial audience and disappeared into the void unnoticed.

Yevade Subramanyam directed by Nag Ashwin is a refreshing ride accompanied with a feel-good storyline, delightful character moments, soulful music and excellent performances from the lead cast. It is a complete opposite of all the stereotypical movies we usually see in Tollywood.

Streaming Platform – SUN NXT
Gowtham Tinnanuri’s directorial debut before 2019s cricket-based drama, Jersey was Malli Raava starring Sumanth and Aakansha Singh in the lead roles. Served with a remarkably-written screenplay exploring the couple’s relationship at three different stages of life, this movie remains as one of the overlooked movies of the past few years. The soulful music adds to the drama, and the orthodox storyline told diversely makes Malli Raava a must-watch.
Director – Ravikanth Perepu
Starring – Adivi Sesh, Adah Sharma
Streaming Platform – SUN NXT
Kshanam functioned as a resurgence for Adivi Sesh‘s career and is one of the best movies Tollywood had produced in the past few years. The storyline investigates the kidnapping of a child and creeps into the details filled with quite a few twists and turns which you will not see coming. The riveting screenplay and the exciting background score by Sri Charan Pakala add to the film’s overall presentation as this film is without a doubt a gripping thriller which took chances rather than playing it safe.
