Nivetha ThomasвЂ™ debut Telugu movie, вЂGentlemanвЂ™ doesnвЂ™t give away too much too easily, and keeps you hooked until the end when you know who the real culprit is. Things take an ugly turn when CatherineвЂ™s boyfriend Gautham dies in an accident and murkier secrets come to the fore, thanks to all the suspicions of Catherine has and GauthamвЂ™s relationship that he had with his lookalike Jai. The film commences with two ladies discussing their boyfriends on-board a London-Hyderabad flight, and incidentally, both of their boyfriends are lookalikes. Watch it for the wonderful casting and perhaps the best tuning portrayed on screen between two brothers after вЂSVSCвЂ™, albeit with a lot of difference in style and the climax of course.ДЄ suspense thriller on the outset, with the likes of Nani, and Nivetha Thomas at the helm, among others, вЂGentlemanвЂ™ is leagues different from the movies weвЂ™ve been relating Nani with so far. The songs are a charm and so are the performances. A feel-good movie, similar to вЂSeethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle ChettuвЂ™, вЂJyo AchyutanandaвЂ™ portrays the on and off relationship between two brothers so well that the sub-plot comprising their tenant Jyotsana is lost in translation somewhere. Also, the movieвЂ™s name had been a popular lullaby of all the times (at least for me!). Loaded with funny quips and stellar performances alike, вЂSoggade Chinni NayanaвЂ™ is one helluva ride.ДЄvasarala Srinivas, who nailed with his style and humour in вЂOohalu Gusagusalade (2014)вЂ™, is back with a bang in вЂJyo AchyutanandaвЂ™ which is an acronym for its lead characters вЂ“ Jyotsana, Achyuth, and Ananda, where Achyuth and Ananda are also brothers. In this telltale of complicated relationships amid a doting mother whoвЂ™s trying to right all wrongs and make her son and daughter-in-law come together, with the help of her husbandвЂ™s spirit, everything gets even the more complicated as the movie progresses. Nagarjuna, who enacts a dual role in the movie, plays both the protagonist Ramu and the вЂњghostly spiritвЂќ Bangaraju, who possesses the former. Soggade Chinni Nayana (вЂThe Young ManвЂ™s a CharmerвЂ™)ДЄ seemingly heartwarming, romantic tale at the outset, but the вЂњhorrorвЂќ and вЂњcomedyвЂќ angle to it, along with its simplistic way of portrayals takes away the prize. While вЂKalyana VaibhogameвЂ™ has its own limitations in terms of showing over-simplified love and thereвЂ™s almost nothing one can deriveВ from the movie, the performances and a unique storyline make it a really special one.ДЎ4. An unusually crafted love story, вЂKalyana VaibhogameвЂ™ has many similarities with вЂPelli ChoopuluвЂ™, yet they both have drastic differences in terms of their execution. вЂKalyana VaibhogameвЂ™ narrates the story of a prospective bride and groom who devise a plan to get married only temporarily to keep their families at bay and stay as friends until they fall for each other, which was obviously expected. Naga Shaurya seems to have come a long way after вЂOohalu Gusagusalade (2014)вЂ™, with his usual penchant for humour and quirk slowly turning into his legacy. Kalyana Vaibhogame (вЂThe Grandeur of the WeddingвЂ™) HereвЂ™s to the year that must have been a difficult lesson for many Tollywood filmmakers and especially for ace actors like Mahesh Babu, Trisha Krishnan, or Pawan Kalyan, but perhaps leading towards a more brighter future.ДЎ5.

In this list, weвЂ™ve brought to you the top Telugu movies that were released in the year 2016, excluding the dubbed ones of course. Nevertheless, 2016 is onlyВ a steep learning curve for Telugu cinema prior to the blockbuster year that was 2017 and even 2018 so far, with stellar, potential superhits like вЂRangasthalamвЂ™ coming in. 2016 couldвЂ™ve been a much better year had the sequel of вЂBaahubaliвЂ™ released a little earlier or вЂBale Bale MagadivoyвЂ™ released a little later. On the positive side, weвЂ™ve had some of the greatest hits and budding actors coming to the fore, especially those pertaining to a handful of women-centric movies.
