In cinema, both the hero and the heroine are crucial, like the two eyes of a face. Nowadays, heroines seem to have less scope for substantive roles compared to the past, with some directors focusing films predominantly around the hero. Often, heroines appear primarily for songs and to add a visual appeal. Recent movies like 'Liger,' 'Mr. Bachchan,' and 'Double iSmart' have drawn criticism for focusing more on heroines' exposure than their acting skills. However, some young directors in Tollywood are attracting praise for portraying heroines with dignity, following the example set by Sekhar Kammula. Who are these directors? What films have they made? How have they portrayed their heroines? Let’s find out.



Sekhar Kammula



When you think of a sensible director in Tollywood, Sekhar Kammula is one of the first names that come to mind. He is known for creating beautiful love stories and engaging family dramas. The heroines in his films and the way they are portrayed remain memorable to the audience. Kamalinee Mukherjee in 'Anand' and 'Godavari' is a prime example, portrayed as the girl-next-door in a dignified manner. In 'Leader,' Richa Gangopadhyay, and in 'Life is Beautiful,' Shagun Kaur, left lasting impressions. Particularly in films like 'Fidaa' and 'Love Story,' Sai Pallavi's roles won hearts without relying on exposure, affirming Sekhar’s significant contribution to her becoming a star heroine. His understanding of how to extract authentic performances from actresses makes many heroines keen to work with him at least once.







Hanu Raghavapudi



Similar to Sekhar Kammula, director Hanu Raghavapudi takes great care in the portrayal of heroines. His films 'Andala Rakshasi,' 'Krishna Gaadi Veera Prema Gaadha,' 'Padi Padi Leche Manasu,' and 'Sita Ramam' make it clear that he focuses on the substance of his heroines' roles. Actresses like Lavanya Tripathi, Mehreen, Sai Pallavi, and Mrunal Thakur under his direction have garnered significant acclaim. Mrunal Thakur, in particular, received rave reviews for her role in the beautiful love saga 'Sita Ramam,' achieving star status in Telugu cinema. Her character Sita in the film remains special to her, as stated in various interviews. Hanu has announced a project with Prabhas, introducing a new actress, Iman Ismail, to the Telugu screen, whose appearance has already generated considerable interest.







Vivek Athreya



Young director Vivek Athreya also seems to follow in Sekhar Kammula's footsteps regarding heroine portrayal. His recent film 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' with Nani, featuring Tamil actress Priyanka Arul Mohan, showcased her acting without resorting to glamour. His previous works, 'Mental Madhilo,' 'Brochevarevarura,' and 'Ante Sundaraniki,' emphasized dignified portrayals over skin show, with actresses like Nivetha Pethuraj, Nivetha Thomas, and Nazriya Nazim earning recognition for their roles.







Shouryuv



Director Shouryuv made his mark with the film 'Hi Nanna,' capturing hearts and earning praise for his sensitive portrayal. In the film, Nani stars alongside Mrunal Thakur, who was previously known in Bollywood for more glamorous roles. Shouryuv presented her as a quintessential Telugu girl without compromising her dignity throughout the film. Despite opportunities for skin show in songs, he chose not to take that route, maintaining the integrity of Mrunal's character. This approach left film critics impressed and hopeful that he will continue in this manner in his future projects.







Tharun Bhascker



Tharun Bhascker, a young director, has quickly become synonymous with youthful films. He has gained recognition in a short time with content that resonates with the youth, without ever giving in to the temptation to showcase glamour unnecessarily. Starting with his debut film 'Pelli Choopulu,' this aspect becomes clear. Vijay Deverakonda and Ritu Varma's pairing in the film highlighted substantial acting over cheap thrills. This film significantly boosted Ritu Varma's popularity. After turning actor in several films, Tharun Bhascker has returned to directing with 'Keeḍa Cola,' continuing his tradition of dignified cinematic portrayals.






Tollywood's Emerging Directors: Redefining the Role of Heroines


Love isn't just the combination of two letters; it's the union of two hearts. In this world, every human being yearns for and seeks love. From humans to animals, life progresses through love. Regardless of past, present, or future, love is the essential fuel that propels the boat of life forward. Words often fall short when trying to express how much love one feels. However, certain dialogues touch the heart and resonate with the love within us. Telugu cinema is filled with many love stories. Here are some dialogues from these visual tales that have left a lasting impact on audiences.

'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;

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;
