I am also a huge Telugu and Malayalam fan, but Tamil movies are my soft spot being a Tamilian.
Loved the recos here, agree with Premam and Sai Pallavi movies being really good.
Started watching Telugu movies because of Vijay Deverakonda - Loved him in Pelli Chupulu, Geeta Govindam, Dear Comrade and NOTA. Another gem was Mahanati - that was brilliant, one of the best biopics I have seen in a very long time.
In my Southies list I stick to the simpler stories - cannot bear through the more OTT fights ones anymore - No patience for them anymore. The oldies are still my favourite - Huge Mani Ratnam fan for his romantic movies, would always recommend Mouna Raagam, Alaipayuthey and OK Kanmani to this who have not seen it (the OG and none of the remakes)
Thanks NM for the recommendation list - will surely check some of them out if I haven't already. BTW share the same disdain for remakes as you mentioned - just land up loosing the nuances from the original, especially when it comes to some of the literal translated dialogues đ¤Śââď¸.
