The Telugu Film Industry, popularly referred to as Tollywood, has long been linked to masala commercial entertainers, which combine comedy, action, romance, and thrills in one film.
In this article, we’ll examine the best 10 Telugu romantic comedies ever produced, listed in order of release year.
1. Hi Nanna (2023)
The heartwarming tale of a single father caring for his daughter with cystic fibrosis may be found in the book Hi Nanna. In addition to being a tale of love between a father and daughter, Hi Nanna also tells the stories of Viraj (played by the incredible Nani) and Yashna (played by the stunning and sophisticated Mrunal Thakur).
2. Geetha Govindam (2018)
Even now, people still enjoy Geetha Govindam for its carefree romance, amusing comic segments, and beautiful album. At a budget of just five crores, the movie became nearly a 132 crore hit when it was released.
3. Oohalu Gusagusalade (2014)
One of the most underappreciated rom-coms produced in Telugu cinema history is Oohalu Gusagusalade. The play, which is an adaption of Cyrano De Bergerac, a French drama from 1897, centers on Venky, a budding newsreader who needs to win over his supervisor in order to land the position he desires. But the plot gets interesting when he has to help his boss woo a girl who happens to be Venky’s ex-girlfriend.
4. Ishq (2012)
Unquestionably, two strangers who are traveling to Hyderabad by plane find themselves in Goa and begin to fall in love. Ishq had a rather straightforward plot, but what really set the movie apart were Nithiin and Nithya Menen’s performances. Their on-screen chemistry was effortless, and Nithya’s vivacious persona really enhanced the movie.
5. Ala Modalaindi (2011)
For those seeking a lighthearted viewing, BV Nandini Reddy’s maiden feature film, Ala Modalaindi, is a delightful surprise. It makes the most out of every absurd circumstance and features excellent situational humor. After Ashish Vidyarthi kidnaps Nani, Ashish then assists Nani in kidnapping someone else.
6. Darling (2010)
Over time, the name “Darling” has come to be associated with actor Prabhas. Though fans used to love Prabhas in these charming, boy-next-door romantic films, Darling is among them. These days, Prabhas is linked to big-budget blockbusters like Baahubali, Salaar, and Project K.
7. Bommarillu (2006)
A classic Telugu movie that many viewers who do not speak Telugu have seen and appreciated. The main character of the story is Siddu, who must leave behind his father’s controlling presence in order to discover real love. As with any romantic comedy, the plot is rather simple. Not to mention Devi Sri Prasad’s exquisite record, which gave the film a lot of depth.
8. Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana (2005)
Another beautiful romantic comedy by Siddharth, Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana, stars the charming Trisha Krishnan. It’s lovely to observe Trisha’s reactions, pranks, and charming charm. Her relationship with the late Srihari and Siddharth’s desire to win Trisha over were well matched.
9. Manmadhudu (2002)
Nagarjuna portrays the sexist manager of an advertising agency named Abhiram. He despises women in all of their forms. As a result, Harika immediately takes a dislike to Abhiram and goes out of his way to hurt her after being made assistant manager. But when Harika discovers Abhiram’s past, everything is different.
10. Nuvvu Naaku Nachav(2001)
It’s reasonable to argue that Nuvvu Naaku Nachav is among the most famous romantic comedies ever produced in Telugu film, if not the most. Some of Trivikram’s greatest comedic scenes, masterfully acted out by Venkatesh, Brahmandam, and Prakash Raj, are included in the movie.
