The Telugu film industry is buzzing again—and this time, it’s not about star-studded blockbusters or massive budgets. Instead, three recent releases—‘Mirai’, ‘Kishkindhapuri’, and ‘Little Hearts’—have reignited audience excitement with fresh stories, genre diversity, and engaging performances. From rom-coms to thrillers and even mytho-fantasy, these films have brought something back to Tollywood that fans felt was missing: versatility.
Netizens have taken to the social media to express their thrill, and the reactions are far from lukewarm. A viral post had the mood captured in the following words:
“Romcom, thriller, mytho-fantasy LFG!!! Versatility!!”
Even some fans are comparing it to the golden era of Telugu cinema during 2018–2019 when successive hits like Mahanati, Rangasthalam, and Jersey created a flutter nationally. One user wondered:
“Is the 2018-19 phase happening again?”
But not everybody’s a fan of the term “comeback.” Some say Tollywood never actually departed. Here’s how one fan described it:
“Wdym comeback, we never left. All the big flops this year were Kollywood—including Wathadei Star Ram Charan’s Game Changer.”
The success of these three films has now set expectations sky-high for future releases—particularly OG, which has already generated a lot of hype. But as the internet quips:
“OG… All eyes on you now.”
Nevertheless, there’s a feeling of reservation:
“Now OG bar is set too high and I have a strong feeling it won’t even come close.”
Regardless of the divergence in opinions, one thing is certain: Tollywood’s churning up a storm once more, and it’s not solely due to the high-profile celebrities. Viewers are cheering innovative storytelling, concise scripts, and fresh voices—a departure from formulaic filmmaking.
Whether this is the beginning of a new era or a fleeting streak remains to be seen. But for the time being, fans are rejoicing, and the business is basking in the glory.
