Eega (Disney+ Hotstar, MX Player, Amazon Prime Video, JioCinema, Google Play Movies, YouTube)
You've heard of coming back from the dead to exact revenge. But reincarnating as a housefly to settle scores? Now that's something else! Directed by the master S.S. Rajamouli, the film follows Nani, who is murdered by a romantic rival. However, tables turn when Nani returns as a fly to protect his beloved and achieve vengeance. Honestly, just saying that it's a Rajamouli film should've been enough!
Magadheera (MX Player, Aha, YouTube, Apple iTunes)
Are the words 'Telugu revenge films' and 'directed by S.S. Rajamouli' synonymous? At this point, it appears so! Magadheera, a fantasy-revenge film, revolves around Harsha, who is wrongly blamed for a murder. When Harsha tries to clear his name, he recalls his previous birth, where similar events unfolded 400 years ago. Will Harsha be able to set things right and turn the status quo? With ample romance and action, Magadheera is your quintessential masala movie!
Oosaravelli (Sun NXT, MX Player, Vi Movies and TV)
Sometimes you just need a classic revenge film with all the tried and tested tropes! Oosaravelli gives you just that. The film follows an up-to-no-good mercenary who rescues and falls in love with an abducted woman. He soon finds out that her family has been wiped out and sets out to avenge their deaths. With humour and action galore, this film hits just the right spots.
1: Nenokkadine (Vi Movies and TV, Sun NXT)
Movies featuring revenge-seeking rockstars make for superior storytelling (read, Karz), and 1: Nenokkadine is no exception! The film features schizophrenic rockstar Gautham (Mahesh Babu), who's endured a traumatic life. While Gautham believes three men murdered his parents and plans to bring them to justice, others think he is hallucinating. What's real and what's fantasy? Watch this intriguing flick to find out!
Baahubali: The Conclusion (Netflix, Disney+ Hotstar, SonyLIV, Google Play Movies, YouTube, Apple iTunes)
Any list on revenge dramas is incomplete if it doesn't feature the mega-blockbuster Bāhubali. The film is both a sequel and a prequel to Baahubali: The Beginning (Netflix, Disney+ Hotstar, Google Play Movies, YouTube, Apple iTunes) and follows the rivalry between siblings Bāhubali and Bhallaladeva. Following Bāhubali's son, as he avenges his father's death, the film stunned audiences everywhere! You've got to be living under a rock if you haven't watched it yet.
Take revenge on the work week and binge these films over the weekend!
