Nandamuri Balakrishna is a versatile actor and there is no doubt in that. Probably he is one of the rarest heroes who has explored almost every genre in the cinema. He has been a part of many super hits, blockbusters, industry hits. Balakrishna fondly called Balayya Babu has faced some flops as well.
Termed as one of the top 4 in the 90s and 2000s, Balayya Babu is still a top actor. If the talk of the film is good, the collections create records. He has one of the strongest fan bases in South India. Balakrishna has done 105 films in his career so far. Now, let us have a look at some of the best movies in the career of Balayya.
Undoubtedly the best movie in recent years. In Legend, Balayya is just a treat to watch. This is the second collaboration between Balayya and Boyapati. They both have once again delivered the goods. Balakrishna like in many of his movies has played the dual role and his looks in both the characters of Krishna and Jaidev are superb. Especially the older Balakrishna is lit. The dialogues written for him are one of the best. Balakrishna has once again proved that he can give his best when the right script is there. One of the biggest hits in Balayya’s career.
Nandamuri Balakrishna has been struggling with continuous flops in his career at that time. He hasn’t had a hit for almost six years. Then Boyapati Srinu who is known for his mass entertainers has approached Nandamuri Balakrishna and the rest is history. Balayya was seen in two different roles in this action entertainer of a father and son. Both roles entertain the audiences alike. Nayantara’s role in this movie is a special attraction. Balayya is known for his dialogues and Simha is one of the best in this category. Balayya’s fans were over the moon after watching the movie.
Nandamuri Balakrishna in factionist roles is a treat to watch. Narasimha Naidu got released in the year 2001 and those were the days when factionist movies are getting huge reception from the audiences if dealt correctly. Balayya had already done a factionist movie in the form of Samara Simha Reddy. Yet Narasimha Naidu offers a new angle in the story. Especially the Background music by Manisharma is just excellent. The train episode in the movie is out of the world. It gives unlimited goosebumps even after repeated watch. Balakrishna and B Gopal have created magic once again.
It is for the first time that Nandamuri Balakrishna has attempted a factionist movie and the result is phenomenal. Nandamuri Balakrishna teamed up with B Gopal who is known for his action entertainers. Samarasimha Reddy is an emotional action entertainer. The sisters’ sentiment in the film was conceived so beautifully. Again Manisharma stood as the backbone for this movie. Be it the songs or the background music, he has done a perfect job. Balakrishna is excellent in a powerful role.
A completely different attempt from Nandamuri Balakrishna. Singeetam Srinivasa Rao the genius filmmaker has conceived this idea of making on film on time machine concept. With the technology available in the 90s, Singeetam has done a fabulous job. Aditya 369 is way ahead of that time. However, audiences have received the film so well. Nandamuri Balakrishna in the role of Sri Krishna Devarayulu is a treat to watch. He has done a fantastic job in the movie. The concept itself is intriguing to date and can be watched without any complaints.
Just three years after Aditya 369, Balayya and Singeetam Srinivasa Rao have teamed up for another project. After the science fiction entertainer, this time it is a high fantasy thriller. Bhairava Dweepam is a major hit in Balayya’s career and one of the special films that are close to his heart. The story seems to be complex but the narration is to the point. There are many scenes in the movie that makes you go awe.
One of the huge blockbusters in the career of Nandamuri Balakrishna. He has delivered such a stunning movie early in his career. Kodi Ramakrishna who is known for handling commercial entertainers to the core has directed this movie. KV Mahadevan’s music is a special attraction for the movie. Who can forget the mass beat Danchave Menattha Kootura.
Nandamuri Balakrishna and Kondanda Rami Reddy is a beautiful combination. They have delivered many super hits together and Nari Nari Naduma Murari is the best of the lot. The movie is highly entertaining for its commercial values. It is a well-packed family drama that was the formulae in those times. Balayya is very energetic in this movie.
Again Balakrishna and Kondanda Rami Reddy special. Bobbili Simham is a huge success at the box office. Nandamuri fans are elated with the movie’s success as NTR entertained audiences with the film Bobbili Puli and his son has scored a blockbuster with Bobbili Puli. Roja and Meena have acted as the female leads in the film. Paruchuri Brothers’ powerful dialogues are one of the main plus points of the movie.
Goppinti Alludu directed by EVV Satyanarayana is a decent hit at the box office. Balakrishna along with powerful action entertainers has done comedy movies. He is one such rare actor who can perform any kind of scene with the utmost ease. Balayya is at his best in terms of comedy in this movie. One of the best movie of Balakrishna.
Nandamuri Balakrishna’s 100th movie Gauthami Putra Satakarni is definitely a special movie. Directed by Krish, this historical movie has been a successful venture at the box office. With this movie, Balayya has proven that he can do justice to periodic films too. Once again, Balayya impresses everyone with the heavy dialogues in this movie.
Definitely picking out 10/11 movies from more than 100 films is a tricky job. We have tried to pick out the best. But if you feel that your list is quite different, then do comment and let us know.
