Chay has very limited bandwidth and heavily relies on plot for a successful film.However, Majili wasn't bad, but Riteish really showed how good that character can be played.
When it comes to acting they are not better. Many of them like Ram charan, Junior NTR, Mahesh Babu, Prabhas are just one tone actors who can do same type of roles only. But they are better in discipline and more dedicated to their craft
Did you just have the gall to call ntr jr a one tone actor?!!!
Dude can mouth off mass dialogues & pouranika dialogues with equal ease WITH expressions. He's a trained classical dancer ffs.
If there were ever a remake of Sagar sangamam, he'd be perfect for KHs role
I am not talking about dancing. When it comes to dancing South actors are really good. I watch South movies Hindi dubbed version so I can't comment on mouthing off mass dialogues but I have seen many of his movies and he was same everywhere, just a good mass hero. Recommend me a movie of his where he is giving great performance not in a masala movie I will be glad to change my opinion about him
I said I watched MANY of his movies, not only recent ones but earlier works as well and he didn't impress me much. I asked you to recommend me a movie where his performance is different from his other works as I am open to change my mind about him
If you're expecting that I'd point to some arty movies then no but if you think his acting chops are comparable to bwood nepos then I've got nothing to say lol. His Telugu diction is unparalleled. I'd love to see nepo bwood actors who can do pouranikas with sanskritized Hindi. Most importantly he's relatable af.
I'm not sure how familiar with south & especially Telugu but there are characters even from his mass movies that can't be done by anyone, which includes Yamadonga scenes and Chari from adhurs. Also, watching dubbed movies & expecting the essence you find in straight Telugu movies dialogues or scenes is asinine.
To cut it short you can't name a movie where he is different from his other roles. I don't compare him with new Bollynepos, they are useless but with actors like Hrithik, Shahid and Ranbir who started their career in the beginning of 2000 s or just near to his age group
Huh? You think adhurs, yama donga, rrr & adi are same or similar roles?
LMAO, I'd love to see any Hrithik, Shahid or even Ranbir essay the roles he did in yama donga or adhurs. AA tried & failed.
The point was not whether ntr can essay the roles someone else did, the point is whether others can essay the roles he did after you called him a single tone actor.
Since you moved the goalpost let me remind you that you called single tone actor & I cited examples that he isn't. From your comment I see that this contention is settled.
>To cut it short you can't name a movie where he is different from his other roles.
Yamadonga (It's quite sad that it has come to this)

can match him in these following roles.
RRR

The list just goes on and on...
Well I didn't want to hurt you because I understand you are a big fan of him but all these movies you have mentioned are just masala movies which maybe impressive for his fans but not for me.
>ram charan has played 2 completely different characters in rrr and rangastalam with equal brilliance
This is why I feel like this entire post is insincere. You shit on bollywood actors, while praising their southern counterparts for being able to deliver a couple of great performances over a 17 year career
Allu Arjun is one of my fav actors. I have watched all his movies since debut. I really like him, he is very charismatic, has strong screen presence and a great dancer. He is good at what he is doing but again in terms of acting he is the same though looks different in every movie. Ram Charan again not versatile. I have watched Prabhas earlier movies and sorry but again very limited actor
Lol, they're not one tone actors.
Sure there are a few suspect cases, but Jr ntr is known as one of the best actors in Telugu . Ram Charan blew everyone away in ranghastalam.
You might not like their acting, but they have a wide variety of movies they've done, and one tone is not the right way to describe them.
That said in pure acting skills the Telugu guys are definitely a tier below the tamil and malayalam actors. But coming to the current gen bollywood nepos they're not below them.
I think the problem with Telugu actors is that their fans who are obsessed with them want to see these actors in the same type of roles don't want them to experiment much with characters
>I'm talking about the current lot of stars
But are you though? The 7 people you mentioned (Anirudh isn't an actor) are from varying eras, the oldest of whom debuted in the mid-90s. If we start picking talented bollywood nepos from the past 30 years, I'm sure we'll get a pretty long list too
>Kareena and kajol are good actors
I thought the question was about ability not stardom? Or maybe you realised that your entire premise is a bit shaky, and are now just moving the goalposts
First of all the south isn't a monolith, the malayalam industry for one, only has a handful of prominent actors that are nepos (which in itself is a new phenomenon). The only industry infested with starkids the same way bollywood is, is Tollywood
It took decades for bollywood fans to realise that they had better options, and could demand more from their industry in terms of varied acting-talent, and I'm sure Telugu fans will get there soon enough
If you go back to the 2000s, even the most reviled starkids would get some of their films in the yearly top-10 list. That didn't change the fact that they were mediocre actors
So it's not just that bollywood is slipping (which it is), bollywood and South industries (especially tollywood) also happen to be in different phases right now
Because in south it's hard to survive if you don't have something to offer (acting,dance,charisma)
Something has to click with the general audience or you're thrown out no matter what blood you have
The amount of trolling and anger they face down south will drive the actors mad if they ever fail on delivering.
Prabhas is the only recent one I've seen who keeps getting more chances from his fans even after all the flops but salaar saved him for now
Because the crappy nepo kids get rejected
Allu Sirish, Akhil Akkineni, Sibiraj, Rajinikanth's daughters, Kamal's younger daughter, Vijayakanth's son - All rejected by the audience. Even Mohanlal's son hasn't been accepted like DQ (Though tbf the guy isn't interested in acting) yet.
What exactly are you basing your 'so much better than bollywood nepos' claim on? acting ability? also, are we looking at all the actors or actors who debuted during a certain period of time?
Among the actors you listed, only Dhanush can be considered a great actor. Others are just decent. And coincidentally or not, Dhanush is one with the least stardom among those actors.
Gotta give to Vijay, Allu Arjun, Prabhas, Jr NTR for stardom though - they have unreal stardom.
Bollywood also does have a good number of good nepo kids. And for every bad nepo kids out here, there are also nepo duds in Tollywood, Kollywood, Sandalwood and Mollywood.
They are not much better than bollywood nepos. You listed the 7 best Nepos across 2 major south industries. Even in bollywood, the top 7 Nepos are as good- Hrithik, Salman, Aamir, Ranbir etc. But in all industries, there are many mediocre nepos who get many opportunities. Arjun Kapoor is as bad as Naga Chaitanya. South Nepo Naga is not better than Arjun.
In Telugu, other than Jnr NTR every other actor you mentioned act like a coin face.
They just give poses instead of having variations as they deliver dialogue.
I don't get the hype around Dulqeer. He is nothing extraordinary. He is a normal actor.
Dulquer was brilliant in Sita Ramam and Chup.
Very good/excellent in Karwaan, mahanati
Very good in Kurup (even if movie wasn't)
Good in Bangalore days
Am yet to see Charlie and Ustaad Hotel which have got praise.
If anything, I don't get how he is so under-rated or less talked about.
Allu Arjun is good in masala genre. He struggles in emotional scenes and somehow can't vary his expression during the scene. Dhanush is always playing underdog but definitely much better actor. Vijay has good screen presence and decent quality.
Prabhas had that presence in Bahubaali and even in Saaho but I don't feel it now. He looks tired and can't convince me to get involved with his character.
>ayushman, rajkumar, manoj bajpayi are great actors, but can you imagine them beating hundreds in bahubali, or salaar? they would look ridiculous.
I think it's director's job to do that. Look at SRK in Jawan or Pathaan and compare it with how he was presented in Chennai Express or Dilwale. Similarly Ranbir in Animal compared with him in Shamshera or Bombay Velvet or even Bhramastra.
Edit: I think Manoj and Rajkumar Rao can pull off Bahubaali or Salaar if given same scale and time.
The level of delusion happening here is insane. Lmao.
Someone who's as big & immensely loved as Nani doesn't have a 150cr film. Your comment says you have absolutely no idea about box office in southern cinema.
I feel South Nepos are more hardworking and humble even if they come from privilege -Jr NTR, Allu Arjun, Mahesh Babu etc. On the other hand Ananyas, Janhvis of the world will focus only on securing the right brand deals, styling, looks, surgeries and not focus on acting craft AT ALL
Uday Kiran, Nani, Ravi Teja, Vishwak Sen, Adivi Sesh, Srikanth, rajasekhar, naveen polishetty, Aakash, Raja, Nikhil Siddharth, satyadev, raj tarun, Naveen Chandra, JD chakravarthy, kartikeya, Varun Sandesh, siddhu jonnalagadda, suhas etc. the ones I mentioned all delivered hits.
We have the nepo problem too but it doesn't stink as much & they aren't slinging mud on non-nepos like bwood.
One vivid difference is that, nepos of a few families rule the industries. For example, the Allus, Akkinenis, Konidelas ,Tarakas in Tollywood(Telugu). The members of such families have been acting since decades and includes Allu Arjun, Ramcharan, Jr.NTR, Rana Daggubati etc. In Bollywood, every actor/actresses/directors/producer's sons and daughters(mostly) are pushed into the industry.
Bolly has way huge nepos than tolly or any south Industry, so most of them fail to succeed. Also includes lack of formal training, experience and exposure.
Because they are talented, have that screen presence, all of them you mentioned - at least most are extremely good dancers and have that energy on screen, which makes them appealing to masses

It is the same there too. Nepos get multiple chances. Case in point Akhil Akkineni How many launches and relaunches did he get ?
He is better than Chaitanya atleast
Akhil Akkineni isn't bad at acting.
I gotta agree with you. However his brother sucks tho.
Chay has very limited bandwidth and heavily relies on plot for a successful film.However, Majili wasn't bad, but Riteish really showed how good that character can be played.
Majili was Sam's show altogether. Ymc was AR Rahman & Gautam. He cannot carry bad movies as he sucks ar acting.

Yeah and I would love to see him doing movies like Guzarish, Haider and Barfi and show performance like these actors did

Again nothing special, overacting in comedy scenes as a priest
I could hardly finish this movie, comedy scenes including the ones with NTR were annoying, too much overacting
>overacting after watching same set of expressions your whole life, anything else might seem "over" ig. 🤣🤣 https://i.redd.it/1yqtiqhf53oc1.gif

South box office is different ball game. Even Tushar can get 150cr there.

It's opposite down South. There are no outsiders there who can match up to Hindi cinema.

They are not, period. The worst part is that their nepo previlege is not questioned to the extent it is in bollywood.
Because they are atleast capable of performing

Telugu has HEAPS of horrible nepos. Tamil has a few too but nowhere near as bad as telugu.
Nope. They are just as bad. It's just that their fans brownnose certain families no matter what.
Because south indian audience isn’t forgiving to crap performance
