10 Tollywood Directors Who Rarely Disappoint The Audience

Anil Ravipudi made a striking debut as a director with Kalyan Ram starrer Pataas which was a super hit at the box office. With his first film itself, Anil Ravipudi proved his worth as a writer and director. He continued his success streak with his second film Supreme featuring Sai Dharam Tej and Raashi Khanna in the lead roles. Supreme was a major success at the box office. His third film Raja The Great gave Ravi Teja the much-needed hit and Anil Ravipudi scored a hat trick with this film. With just 3 films, Anil has proved that he is one of the best commercial film directors of this generation.

Koratala Siva is a writer turned director who is known for delivering commercial entertainers with a message. He made debut as a director with Prabhas' Mirchi which turned out to be a super hit. He later worked with big stars like Jr NTR and Mahesh Babu and scored few more blockbusters like Srimanthudu, Janata Garage, Bharat Ane Nenu.

This national award-winning director has always made movies ahead of their time. Probably the most underrated Telugu director ever. Many Telugu directors take inspiration from Hollywood movies, but a Hollywood movie 'Get The Gringo' was hugely inspired from his movie Okkadunnadu. Such is his class. One common point in most of his movies is the thrilling element which sets him apart from other directors. 

Gautham Menon is undoubtedly one of the most loved director in South India. After Mani Rathnam, probably Gautham Menon is the only director who has got that knack of making love stories. Almost all of his movies are hits and few movies which did not turn out to be box office hits also remain as classics.

One of the rare breed of directors who won National Award with his first movie itself. Since then he started making movies in different genres. Be it a fun-filled entertainer like Ashta Chamma or a sports drama like Golconda High School or a thriller like Gentleman he never disappointed the audience. Though 'Bandipotu' was not that successful, it managed to impress few critics.

This maths teacher made a huge impact on the audience with his first movie itself. With his unconventional screenplays and perfect taking, he provided some classics to Tollywood already. His biggest flop is 1 Nenokkadine, which is surprisingly the most respected and loved movie of this decade. With that movie he was not successful at the box office but, he was highly successful in changing the mindsets of Telugu audience.

This man doesn't make movies, he makes classics. That is the reason why irrespective of hit/flop status, his movies gain huge respect. Right from his first movie, he made it clear that he is going to make good movies no matter what. Though his movies don't turn out to be blockbusters one can clearly say that he never disappointed the audience with his movies.

Surender Reddy knows perfectly how to make stylish commercial entertainers. One common thing in all his movies is strong hero characterization with the style factor predominant. And that's the reason why those characters will be remembered forever. Though he has flop in the form of Kick 2 it is majorly because of the title which made people come to theaters with high expectations. Nevertheless, he made a huge comeback with Dhruva proving his calibre once again. 

Trivikram Srinivas is one of the most loved and respected directors of Tollywood. The reason he is treated as a top director is simple, he can create a huge impact with a simple dialogue. He has got massive craze among family and overseas audience. The only flop he has in his career is Khaleja, but this film has got a huge fan following and is a huge hit on television.

11 Movies and all of them are super hits, this sums how successful S S Rajamouli is. Not just scoring hits, he managed to take Telugu cinema to next level with his recent movies like Magadheera, Eega, Baahubali etc., Forget about disappointing the audience, he has always provided more than the needed entertainment for the ticket price paid. Let's hope he continues his successful streak forever.
