Plus and Minus of Tollywood Star Heroes

While the craze for Tollywood heroes among the Telugu audience is undoubtedly beyond that of any other regional star heroes in India. Some heroes got this craze with their own stamina and hard work while others got this due to their family background. So lets take a inside view on this.

Jr.NTR:

Jr.NTR is no doubt a good actor. No other heroes of his age can beat him in the heavy scenes and emotional sequences. He can easily carry those roles with lot of maturity.  But his family background and also as he looks somewhat similar to Sr.NTR (not in personality), brought him instant craze when he entered into the field. But exceptional acting skills and great dancing skills are his major plus. His major minus is his height and selection of stories.

Pawan Kalyan:

He is not a great actor, he is not good at emotional scenes. Attarintiki Daredi is the only film where he did some decent acting in the last 10 minutes. That might be due to age and experience. But over all he is not a great actor and not a good dancer. But why the super craze? Why he is ruling the Telugu box office in the recent times?  And his personal life also not something one can take as inspiration. But then why so called Pawanism went to peaks? That’s a million dollar question.

His care not attitude, simple dress appearance in public functions, Praja rajyam party, going rebel with his own brother, Having a great friend like Trivikram who praises Pawan when ever he gets an opportunity in public functions, all these some how brought instant craze in the recent times. Most of the CHiranjeevi’s fans are now Pawan’s fans. But yes, his only plus point is he is the handsome guy among Mega family heroes.

Mahesh Babu:

He is no doubt the most handsome guy in our Telugu film Industry(In south India too). But not only that, most of the super star Krishna’s loyal fan base took care of Mahesh to some extent.  He has decent acting skills, best examples are Murari, Nijam,Arjun,Dookudu, Pokiri.. Though he is bad in dance section, his comic timing, variation in dialog delivery, handsome looks are the main reasons for his great following and success.

Allu Arjun:

Stylist star, true to the name given to him, he maintains that in all his movies and most importantly the energy that he infuses in to the character is his major plus. Ease in acting skills, guy next door image brought him gradual craze. With average looks, and average acting skills he managed to be in the top league with hard work. Exceptional dancing skills are his major plus. Of course we can not deny the fact that mega hero brand and begin the son of Mega producer fetched him in the beginning.

Ram Charan:

I do not mind to rate him as a over hyped hero of Telugu film industry. He does not have good looks, poor acting skills, Magadheera I give credit to Rajamouli. Apart from Magadheera there is not film where he showed his acting prowess. Though his dances are good, not as good as that of Jr.NTR or Bunny. Being Chiranjeevi’s son is his only major plus till date.

Prabhas:

He is the real macho hero of Tollywood. With raw and rugged looks, sharp features made him most wanted bachelor of Tollywood. Again he is not a great actor and not even a decent dancer. His height, looks, physic are his major plus. Being the heir of Krishnam raju brought him instant craze but after that he made it by his own.  Now after Mahesh babu he is the only hero who has mass following among female audience.

I did not include Nani, Nithin, etc.. as they are not in the top league.
