Latest Telugu Movies In Theaters Now

Alright, grab your popcorn and maybe a neck brace, because Tollywood has decided that subtlety is for people who don’t enjoy explosions. The latest Telugu movies in theaters right now are less like films and more like a three-hour roller coaster designed by a hyperactive child on a sugar high. If you haven’t been to the cinema lately, let me catch you up faster than a hero dodging a dozen goons in slow motion.

The Reigning King of Mass Masala

First up is the inevitable “Veera Simha 3”—yes, the third one, because apparently, one lion wasn’t enough. This movie has our hero, a man with a jawline sharper than my ex’s insults, single-handedly taking on a criminal empire that employs roughly the population of a small country. The plot? Honestly, I think the plot is just “things get punched,” and I mean that as the highest compliment.

The twist? Our hero is actually a dentist in the first act, which is a shocking career choice for someone who headbutts concrete walls for fun. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, but mostly you’ll marvel at how one man can throw a motorcycle at a helicopter without breaking a sweat. Surprising fact: the film’s stunt budget was higher than the GDP of some Pacific islands, and you can feel every single rupee of it.

The Romantic Comedy That’s Actually Funny

If explosions aren’t your thing, switch gears to “Pelli Choopulu 2: The Sequel of Misunderstandings”. This one is a rom-com where the hero is a professional food taster who falls in love with a woman who owns a pickle factory. And yes, the entire third act is a dramatic competition over who makes the spiciest mango pickle—I am not joking.

What’s wild is that the director hired a real pickle scientist as a consultant, so the chemistry is both emotional and mildly acidic. The jokes land like a well-thrown chapati, and for once, the female lead doesn’t just stand around waiting to be rescued. She literally saves the hero from a pickle-related food coma, which is more than I can say for most action movies.

The Dark Horse (and I Mean Dark)

Then there’s “Rakshasa Veedhi”, a horror-thriller that’s so tense, I saw a man in the theater bite his own finger in fear. Set in a haunted forest where the trees whisper your childhood secrets, this film features a villain who is a ghost accountant, haunting people who cheat on their taxes. That’s right—the scariest thing in Tollywood this month is an IRS audit with a supernatural twist.

The cinematography is gorgeous, but here’s the kicker: they shot the entire movie in one single take—except for the scenes with the ghost, which were filmed backwards and reversed in post. Why? The director said it “confuses the demons.” I don’t know what that means either, but it works. You’ll leave the theater double-checking your receipts.

The Family Drama That Hits Too Close

Finally, you’ve got “Amma Nanna Oka Ammayi”, which is basically a three-hour group therapy session with songs. It’s about a mother who accidentally wins a cooking show, and her son has to deal with the sudden fame while hiding his own secret career as a stand-up comedian. The emotional core is real, but the film’s biggest surprise is that the comedian’s jokes are actually good, which is rarer than a sober politician.

The climax involves a family dinner where everyone reveals a secret at the same time, and somehow, the food catches fire. It’s chaotic, it’s loud, and you’ll cry during a song about leftover biryani. This is Tollywood at its most unhinged, and I love every second of it.

So, whether you want a dentist who demolishes buildings or a pickle-based romance, the theaters are packed with more drama than a WhatsApp family group. Grab your tickets, silence your phone, and remember: if the hero does 50 push-ups on one finger, just nod and clap. That’s cinema, baby.
