10 Expensive Telugu Films In The Recent Times Telugu Article

When you watch something at the theaters, you might want to know how much money went into making it, and sometimes your research might reveal some answers and facts which might not match what your eyes see, so why do it? Because we are blessed with something called curiosity which helped us break boundaries in every aspect of life. Enough of philosophy now, okay? We did some digging, and found this, the title you just read. So, sit back and read along.

1. Oopiri Click to look into! >> Read More...

A 2016 family entertainer directed by Vamsi Paidipally Vamsi Paidipally also called as Vamshi, is a Telug >> Read More... and stars Akkineni Nagarjuna Akkineni Nagarjuna is a veteran Indian actor, TV p >> Read More... , ‘Karthi’ and ‘ Tamannaah Bhatia Tamannaah Bhatia is a well known actress in Tamil >> Read More... ’ in the lead roles. It is about an entrepreneur who wishes to enjoy all the thrills that life can give him, but unfortunately meets with an accident, and loses the ability to walk or stand, and becomes paralyzed. You might not believe that this movie took some whopping amount of money to produce, direct and enact, but trust us, it took about 50 crores to make it!

2. Rudhramadevi Click to look into! >> Read More...

A ‘ Gunasekhar Gunasekhar is a literature enthusiast, a theatre a >> Read More... ’’s directorial, with Anushka Shetty Anushka Shetty is the popular South Indian star wh >> Read More... in the lead role, and Allu Arjun The actor was born to producer Allu Arvind and Nir >> Read More... and Prakash Raj Prakash Raj, born on 26th of March, 1965, as Praka >> Read More... in the supporting roles. It took a huge budget to wrap it up at the end of a shoot, due to the high-end CGI employed, along with the sets put up to recreate the grandeur, and the history linked to the film’s story.

3. Sardar Gabbar Singh Click to look into! >> Read More...

A 2016 sequel to the record-breaking 2012’s Gabbar Singh, and stars Pawan Kalyan Pawan needs no introduction to South Indian people >> Read More... and Kajal Aggarwal Kajal Aggarwal is a modern Indian model and film a >> Read More... in the lead roles, with ‘K.S. Ravindra’ at the director’s helm. It was an utter failure at the box office and among critics as well. The script was written by the actor, and took two years to finish. So much for a failed attempt! You wouldn’t even believe the investment it had to make to complete the shooting; it now stands at the third place in the most expensive movies list at the box office!

4. Brahmotsavam Click to look into! >> Read More...

A 2016 family flick directed by Srikanth Addala Srikanth Addala is a popular film director, who is >> Read More... and has Mahesh Babu Born on 9 August 1975 in Chennai, Mahesh Ghattaman >> Read More... and a star-studded cast to take over the screen space for three full hours. Let us make this clear, it is freaking expensive with regards to budget, due to delayed schedules, and some sets. But the film itself is downright disappointing, as you might have seen many memes on social media, with contexts relating to how the story and the screenplay failed to lift up the expectations. Targeted at family audiences, it basically flopped.

5. Aagadu Click to look into! >> Read More...

A 2014 action flick by Srinu Vaitla Shrinu Vaitla is an Indian film director predomina >> Read More... , and stars Mahesh Babu and Tamannaah in the lead roles. It marks the second collaboration between the actor and the director after their last movie ‘ Dookudu Click to look into! >> Read More... ’ in 2011. It was publicly announced as a big budget movie, owing to the action sequences and the shooting locations, but it pretty much failed to live up to the hype set up by the duo in their previous film.

6. Thoofan Click to look into! >> Read More...

A 2013 action flick by Apoorva Lakhia A well-known film director and writer, Apoorva Lak >> Read More... and stars Ram Charan Ram Charan is a famous Tollywood actor and an entr >> Read More... and Priyanka Chopra Born on 18 July 1982, Priyanka Chopra is an establ >> Read More... in the lead roles. To be precise, it was an utter disaster. So much money went into it, and the result was literally unwatchable with losses to the producer, and a blot on the cast’s career.

7. Baahubali

The 2015 mighty epic action drama film directed by S. S. Rajamouli. It has an extraordinary cast to portray the characters and an incredible screenplay coupled with phenomenal direction that takes it to a whole new level. It is the most expensive film from the Telugu industry. Ever. The one good thing is that it justifies the budget, spent in a transparent way, the CGI pops out, and the subtle effects collaborate to create a fresh experience.

8. Srimanthudu Click to look into! >> Read More...

A 2015 drama film by Koratala Siva Koratala Siva is a screenwriter and film director >> Read More... and stars Mahesh Babu and Shruti Haasan Shruti Hassan is an Indian film actress born on 28 >> Read More... in the lead roles. It had a huge budget to showcase the posh lifestyle of business people and the action sequences with stuff blowing up and all, but, it makes up for a decent watch and doesn’t hold on to your attention for very long.

9. Attarintiki Daredi Attarintiki Daredi serial on ETV revolves around K >> Read More...

A 2013 drama film by Trivikram Srinivas Trivikram Srinivas, a Telugu director and writer, >> Read More... and is a multi-starrer film with a great cast with the likes of Pawan Kalyan and Samantha Ruth Prabhu Born on April 28 1987 Samantha is a model and actr >> Read More... being thrown into the mix. It apparently held the record for the highest grossing film until Baahubali dethroned it. It has got an emotional story, some enthralling direction, and screenplay with some reliable and hearty laughs along the way and is the director’s costliest film to date.

10. 1: Nenokkadine

A 2013 thriller film made by ‘ Sukumar Sukumar Bandreddi is an Indian film producer, dire >> Read More... ’ and stars Mahesh Babu and debutant Kriti Sanon Kriti Sanon is a model-turned-actress who made her >> Read More... in the key roles. You might have seen a lot of information regarding this movie and how it drew flak from the audiences due to its multi-layered screenplay and direction. It, however, set the standard for thrillers in the industry and took some great amounts of cash to shape it up for release.
