Every movie has scenes that turn the story on its head. However, only a few remain etched in the memories of audiences forever. Typically, these scenes act like boosters for the ongoing storyline, altering its course and re-engaging the audience’s attention. These pivotal scenes don’t necessarily follow a set pattern; depending on the narrative’s needs, directors choose to present them in genres like comedy, action, or sentiment. Let’s now look at some of the best scenes from Tollywood movies to date.
Salaar
In ‘Salaar’, starring Prabhas and directed by ‘KGF’ fame Prashanth Neel, there are splendid action sequences. But the scene just before the interval stands out as a powerful action-packed sequence. The elevations given by actress Shriya Reddy about Prabhas are particularly impressive.
RRR
Directed by Rajamouli, ‘RRR’ created a storm on a global scale. The action scene just before the interval, where Tarak enters a British bungalow with animals, deserves applause. Both Tarak and Ram Charan’s fighting sequence also captivates the audience.
Bahubali 2
Every scene in ‘Bahubali 2’ is a marvel. However, the scene before the interval, showing Rana’s coronation, gives the audience goosebumps. The moment when Prabhas steps up as the commander of all forces, following Rana’s crowning as the king, is monumental, garnering a massive response from the public.
Jersey
In ‘Jersey’, starring Natural Star Nani, the scene where Nani, motivated by his son’s wish, picks up the bat again and strives hard for a place in the team, is heart-touching. The scene where Nani screams out in victory on a train journey will make the viewers’ hair stand on end.
Race Gurram
In ‘Race Gurram’, starring Allu Arjun and directed by Surender Reddy, Brahmanandam’s role is also significant. The climax scene with Brahmanandam as ‘Kill Bill Pandey’ brings a surprise element, making a frustrated police officer burst into laughter. This sequence is a highlight for the movie.
Vedam
In ‘Vedam’, directed by Krish and starring Allu Arjun, Manoj Manchu, and Anushka, Allu Arjun’s portrayal of Cable Raju is stunning. A scene in the second half, where Bunny tries to steal money from an old man intended for his daughter’s kidney operation, stands out. Bunny, upon realizing his mistake and returning the money to the old man, touches the hearts of the viewers.

Janatha Garage
Directed by Koratala Siva, ‘Janatha Garage’ features Tarak in a power-packed hero role. The first fight scene that comes after Tarak takes over the responsibilities of Janatha Garage from Mohanlal is impressive. Tarak goes with his gang to teach the villains a lesson for troubling Rajeev Kanakala.
Temper
In the Temper movie, a combination of Tarak and Puri, the court scene turns the movie on its head. Tarak admits to having committed an atrocity to ensure the villains’ brothers do not escape punishment for a rape, surprising the audience with this unexpected turn.

Aadavari Matalaku Arthale Verule
In this movie, Venkatesh and Kota Srinivasa Rao play father and son. The scene where Trisha unexpectedly slaps Kota Srinivasa Rao, leading to his heartbreak and subsequent death in sleep, brings tears to the audience’s eyes. The pain Venkatesh shows in front of his father’s body is heart-wrenching.
Indra
‘Indra’ is one of Megastar Chiranjeevi’s unforgettable movies. Every scene is a spectacle, especially the interval scene revealing Chiranjeevi’s powerful past, which fans still remember fondly.
Simhadri
Directed by Rajamouli and starring Tarak, ‘Simhadri’ is his second film as a hero. The scene where Tarak avenges his sister’s killers turns the movie around, and the expressions of the Kerala people as Tarak kills the rowdies are superb.
