Best Telugu Heroines of 2018 Who Won Our Hearts With Their Performance

Keerthy Suresh is Savitri or Savitri might have possessed this young actress for the biopic Mahanati. Even those who expressed their skepticism on her selection as Savitri, are pleasantly surprised by her performance in the movie. She brought completeness to the character she played with minutest expressions. Mahanati is a crowning achievement in the young career of Keerthy.

Samantha who is generally seen as a bubbly girl or as a strong-willed woman has played the role of a rugged village belle in Rangasthalam. As with most of her roles with substance, she nailed everything about the character and won the hearts of the audience. Ramalakshmi from Rangasthalam is easily one of her best roles if not the best.

Of course, it is with Chalo that Kannada beauty Rashmika Mandanna charmed her way into the hearts of the youth. But the role that defined her career (until this point) and her stardom is Geetha in Geetha Govindam. That she dominated a star like Vijay Deverakonda is the testament of her quality as an actress.

Her performance in the film and the variations she has shown in various stages of the character’s life are appreciated by one and all. She has made complete use of an author-backed role.

Payal Rajput has played an entirely different role any debut heroine can play. The role of Indu in RX 100 has negative shades and is anti-conventional. Her bold act combined with the decent performance made her an overnight star and she bagged a few good opportunities. And the best part is, she’s not rushing in to cash on the success.

She was expected to rule Tollywood for a long time and she really arrived on the scene with Aravinda Sametha where she shared not just the screen space but also the title with Young Tiger N. T. R. Her performance as a research student impressed the critics and she won over the approval from the family audience too.

Aditi Rao’s royal debut as the lead lady in Tollywood couldn’t get better. She played the role of a film star in Sammohanam and enchanted one and all with her beauty and terrific performance. And quite expectedly, this Telugu girl made waves and acquired a solid fan base.

Chal Mohan Ranga may not have set the box office on fire but Megha Akash won appreciation with her subtle yet intense performance. She owned up the role of Megha which has two shades. One that of a lively girl and that of a girl who is in confusion over her feelings for the hero. She excelled in showing the variations.

What can we say more about Sai Pallavi than she rose above everything around her and lifted the film a plane above on her slender shoulders? Right? She’s Sai Pallavi guys!

Do you know how to make the hearts of boys skip a couple of beats? Just watch Nabha Natesh in Nannu Dochukunduvate. She was a live wire as this writer wrote in the review and easily the biggest highlight of the movie is her performance. She bagged a few more opportunities is not a piece of surprising news.

Among the several top heroines in the psychological thriller Awe, Nithya Menen takes the cake. Despite not having too much of screen-time, she shined the brightest as psychiatrist Krishnaveni who is n relationship with another woman. As is her wont with every other film, she simply owned the role.

Ruhani Sharma played the role of Anjali in the romantic comedy, Chi La Sow. Her subtle beauty and understated but intense performance won applause. She received an author-backed role and nailed it to perfection. Best thing, she won the approval of the family audience.

The movie failed doesn’t make Manu and its star Chandini Chowdary any less. She’s a talented actress is stating the quite obvious. Her role as Nila caught the attention of the movie buffs even before the release date for the film is finalized. She grabbed the opportunity with both hands and stamped her class on the role.

After she started ruling Bollywood with her great acts, Tapsee did give her time to Tollywood and proved why she was treated as a valuable actress by the Hindi Film Industry. Her negative role in the thriller Neevevaro impressed and beyond doubts blasted the previous image as a glamor star.

Satna Titus has shown her acting prowess to the Telugu audience in Needi Naadi Oke Katha. She might have been known to Telugu audience through the successful dubbing film Bichchagaadu but her act as Dharmika in Needi Naadi Oke Katha is a rare achievement where a heroine made her presence felt in a film that mostly revolves around the hero and his trouble with his father.

This may be a surprise entry but she did really well in Bhairava Geetha where she played the role of a fierce young lady. She did wield the sickle too. As for boldness, she went toe to toe with Payal Rajput. A good find from the maverick director Ram Gopal Varma.
