Chiranjeevi's Remake Telugu movies: A Journey Through Hits and Misses in Telugu Cinema


'Devara', an action drama directed by Koratala Siva starring Jr. NTR with Janhvi Kapoor as the heroine. After many years, Jr. NTR performed dual roles in this film, portraying the characters Devara and Vara. Saif Ali Khan played the antagonist, while Prakash Raj, Srikanth, and Shine Tom Chacko played key roles.



The script was carefully crafted by Koratala, reflecting his experience with 'Acharya'. The dialogues in the film are particularly impactful and linger even after the movie ends.



The dialogues, especially those delivered by Jr. NTR, Prakash Raj, Saif Ali Khan, and Janhvi Kapoor, resonate well with their characters and are sure to draw cheers.

Saif Ali Khan's dialogue:



"Erra samudram kaadiki vachi raktham gurinchi matlaadutundava.. naaku chaavu gurinchi cheputundava"&nbsp;&nbsp;



Akkadi nunchi tappinchukunnna Ajay, Prakash Raj daggariki vellinappudu...&nbsp;&nbsp;



Prakash Raj dialogue: "Konda meedakocchi bhayapedudaam anukunnaava?"&nbsp;&nbsp;



Ajay: "Evadra nuvvu?"&nbsp;&nbsp;



Prakash Raj: "Singappa.. nuvvu digivachina konda meeda thoorpu dikkuna untanu."&nbsp;&nbsp;



Ajay: "Nenu ikkadiko panimida vachanu. Peddayanavi, mee vallaku oka maat cheppi oppinchagalava!"&nbsp;&nbsp;



Dialogues that come while traveling on a boat in the ocean…



When Ajay dives into the ocean for his diamond ring and gets frightened seeing the underwater cages, the dialogue delivered by Prakash Raj is really good.



Prakash Raj: "Vajrapu ungarm dorikinda? Samudramlo neeku kanuchchina dani bhayamto vajram gurtuku raale.! Ee bhayame neelanti vallu entha mandi vachina, entha aasha chupina, ikkada unnavaallu ee samudram joli ki matrame raaru."



The dialogue Prakash Raj delivers while introducing Devara makes the fans blow whistles.



Ajay: Kallu moosina, terisina samudramlo chusinde kanipistondi. Asalu evaru vallantha.. evaru chesaru idantha?&nbsp;&nbsp;



Prakash Raj: "Chala pedha katha saami, rakthamto sandrame erupekkina katha."&nbsp;&nbsp;



Ajay: "Evari katha?"&nbsp;&nbsp;



Prakash Raj: "Padi padi leche samudram meeda padakunda nilabadina vaadi katha.. maa Devara katha."&nbsp;&nbsp;



"Bhayam povalante devudi katha vinalaa, bhayam ante ento teliyalante Devara katha vinalaa."&nbsp;&nbsp;



"Kulam ledu, matham ledu, bhayam ledu, variki telisindi dhairyame."



The dialogues Devara speaks about his father to his son Varan in that context are also good.



Varam (Jr. NTR): Abba eppudu mee nanna kathalu, valla nanna kathalu chebutuntaav..! Maa nanna katha cheppu, Devara katha cheppu naaku!&nbsp;&nbsp;



Devara: Taruvatha taraniki cheppukunetantha kathalu kavuraa.. mee nayanavi. Maa nayanollaavi desam kosam poraadina veerula kathalu. Maavi.. evariki cheppukoleni cheekati kathalu, batikunnamane gani, bhavitaraalaku kathaluga cheppukunelaa ee batukulu marutaayo ledo maakuda teliyadu.



The dialogues in the scene where Devara first confronts the arms dealers are powerful.



Devara: Maa ayudhala leke indulo kuda ayudhalu unnayantav.&nbsp;&nbsp;



"Maa ayudhalu manchini chedu nunchi kaapadatanki puttay.. Mee ayudhalu manchini champadanki puttay."&nbsp;&nbsp;



Villain: Maatalu ekkuva avutunnay, samudram ekkala, samudram elala?



The dialogue NTR delivers when Konda in Devara's gang turns against them is superb.







JrNTR&nbsp; dialogues&nbsp;&nbsp;



Devara:&nbsp;&nbsp;



"Chese pani tappani telisina mana avasaram kosam chesstunnav anukunna, ippudu ade alavatuga maari tappudu panulu mana rakthamlo inkipoyayani ippude ardham avuta undadi."&nbsp;&nbsp;



"Manishiki batikenta dhairyam chaalu, champenta dhairyam kaadu." Kaadu kuudadhu ani meeru malli aa dhairyanni kuudagadite.. aa dhairyanni champae bhayanni avuta..!&nbsp;&nbsp;



"Devara adiginadante.. seppinadani&nbsp;&nbsp;



Ade seppinadante..."







Before the interval bang, there is an action sequence with NTR. Devara kills everyone who attacks him, turning the sea red with their blood. Then, the dialogues Devara writes on a rock really pack a punch.



Dhairyam ekkuvai tappudu panulu chesstunna, manollae kada maata chebite maarutaaru anukunna..&nbsp;&nbsp;



Kani, bhayam ante emito teliyani mrugaaluga maaripoyaaru ani ardhamai undadi.&nbsp;&nbsp;



Mee kallamundu unte bhagavantudiki, bhootaniki kuda bhayapadaru.&nbsp;&nbsp;



Anduke eeroju nunchi vallalekka mee nundi dooranga vellipoyi.. kanarani bhayanni ayita.&nbsp;&nbsp;



Bhayam marichi eppudaina tappudu panikosam sandram ekkite... sandram odduna itta pandabeduta..!"



"Devarani champalante saraina samayame kaadu, saraina ayudham kuda dorakala.."&nbsp;&nbsp;







Janvi Kapoor dialogues&nbsp;&nbsp;



Tanga (Janvi Kapoor) Varam (Jr. NTR) pirikitanam gurinchi cheppe dialogue comedy ga untayi.&nbsp;&nbsp;



"Vaadiki valla ayya roopam vachindi kani, raktham raale.. eppudu choodu pillatanam, pirikitanam vaaditho ettalage.&nbsp;&nbsp;



Naa maganni aamda dooram nunchi chusina.. lopala nunchi pongala.. uppongala!!"&nbsp;&nbsp;



Sorachepani champi 'Vara' teesukochadu ani friends cheppinappudu.. Tanga cheppe dialogue navvu teppistundi.&nbsp;&nbsp;



"Unde vaadilo.. unde aadilo..!&nbsp;&nbsp;



Naaku telsu.. intappati nunchi choosthundaga&nbsp;&nbsp;



Unde vaadilo!!"



The dialogue that Janhvi Kapoor says upon seeing young NTR is also hilarious.



Aaa aada aada.. veerudilekka aa nadaka choodu&nbsp;&nbsp;



Lopala pongi uppongutande..&nbsp;&nbsp;



Lopala



The conversation between NTR and Janhvi Kapoor when they first meet each other is romantic.







Tangam (Janvi Kapoor): "Endi itla vachinav?"&nbsp;&nbsp;



Varam (NTR): "Rayappa (Srikanth)to pani undi vachina."&nbsp;&nbsp;



Tangam: "Abbo appude maa ayyato matlaadedaka poyinava?&nbsp;&nbsp;



Eeroju naaku oopiri aagipoyela undi.&nbsp;&nbsp;



Naa veerudu ayudha poojaku siddhamavutunnada?"



During the weapon worship, when the villain (Saif Ali Khan) belittles young NTR after drugging him, the dialogue spoken by Rayappa (Srikanth) is powerful.



Rayappa Dialogues



Emi jaraganatlu andaru antha marachipote manchidi Baira..&nbsp;&nbsp;



Vallu aadu kalipina matthu manduke padinarante.. podduna kallaa matthu digalaa..&nbsp;&nbsp;



Kani, vallu mancham kuda digala..&nbsp;&nbsp;



Ayudha poojalo meeru vaadi kantalona berukune chusundaru..&nbsp;&nbsp;



Kani nenu vaadi debbalo odupu chusina!&nbsp;&nbsp;



Devara lekka balanni chusina&nbsp;&nbsp;



Vaadi balam vaadiki kuda teliyaka, ila andarni matthulo petti gelavaalanukovadam vaadi pasitanam.&nbsp;&nbsp;



Kani o rakamga mee andariki, ade manchidi.&nbsp;&nbsp;



Samudram meeda oka Devara unnadu chalu,&nbsp;&nbsp;



Konda meeda inkoka Devarani tayaru cheste adi meeke manchidi kaadu Baira.



Tangam (Janvi Kapoor dialogues):&nbsp;&nbsp;



"Naavalla kaavatla, andariki matthu mandu ichhi gelavadam aente.&nbsp;&nbsp;



Akka, naa mogudante.. samudra ala antha oohinchukunnanu nenu.&nbsp;&nbsp;



Vaademo.. odduku chere pilla ala maadiri unnadu."&nbsp;&nbsp;



Tangam snehiturali odaarcutu cheppe dialogue navvu teppistundi:&nbsp;&nbsp;



"Anni telisina danini chebutana, vinu.&nbsp;&nbsp;



Prati aadadanki... nachhinodu okaduntadu,&nbsp;&nbsp;



Vachhinodu inkoduntadu.&nbsp;&nbsp;



Vachhinodilo nachhinavadini choosukoni&nbsp;&nbsp;



Deepam arpesukoni kaapuram chesukunte&nbsp;&nbsp;



Batuku saafi ga saagipotadi."







Devara Climax Dialogues&nbsp;&nbsp;



In the climax, the dialogues that Prakash Raj tells Devara's wife, Jogula (Shruti Marathe), about Devara give goosebumps.



"Nee penimiti andarni vadilipetti eppudo poyinadu thalli.&nbsp;&nbsp;



Devara manalni vidichipetti eppudo chanipoyadu.&nbsp;&nbsp;



Inna ella ga andarni samudram pai tappu cheyakunda bhayapedutha undi.&nbsp;&nbsp;



Nee penimiti Devara kaadu... nee bidda Varam.&nbsp;&nbsp;



Chinnappati nunchi Devara cheppina kathalu vintoo perigi undademo.&nbsp;&nbsp;



Ee konda ni batikinchadaniki pedda kathani raasinaadu nee bidda.&nbsp;&nbsp;



Aa mrugaala mayalo padi gorra pilla la poyinadu anukunnaava?&nbsp;&nbsp;



Kaadu thalli, vaadini addupettukoni vellina vallu gorra pillalu.&nbsp;&nbsp;



Samudram lo eepatiki mrugani vetaadinaatu vetaadutuntadu nee bidda!"
