5 Romantic Telugu films you need to see after Radhe Shyam

When it comes to movie romances, it's hard to sit through them emotionlessly. There's something about the passion, the tragic separation, and the dramatic rekindling that melt our hearts a little. It makes even the aromantic in us feel a little mushy. Maybe that's why the recent Prabhas and Pooja Hegde starrer Radhe Shyam has struck a chord with millions of cine-goers across the country.

So, if you resonate with this idea, consider watching these engrossing romantic Telugu flicks:

Majili (Amazon Prime Video, DisneyPlus Hotstar, Sun NXT)

Poorna (Naga Chaitanya), a young guy from Vizag, falls for Anju (Divyansha Kaushik), the daughter of a wealthy naval officer. But Poorna's local politics create a rift in their love story, compelling them to part ways. As time passes, he marries Shravani (Samantha) but still reminisces his time with Anju. This eventually engenders problems between the couple. Do they overcome these challenges? And if so, how?

Varudu Kaavalenu (ZEE5)

Bhoomi (Ritu Varma), a simple yet ambitious girl, owns an eco-friendly start-up business in Hyderabad. Considering that she is coming of age, her mother wishes to see her settle down soon despite her reluctance.

What follows is a series of adversities they have to endure to start a life together.

Most Eligible Bachelor (Netflix, aha)

Harsha's (Akhil Akkineni) mother is eager to get him married. She sets him up with 20 potential brides, but he instead falls for Vibha (Pooja Hegde), a plain-spoken lady.
