Puri Tops Among Punch Pandavulu

Being a director in Tollywood is not just about making good films with big heroes and scoring hits. A greater responsibility than that is to come up with punch and masala in such a way that the image of the star heroes is maintained and the fans come out of the theatres beaming with pride.

So, the cine folks say there are ‘Punch’ Pandavulu among directors. They carry ‘punch’ in their narration. They are Puri Jagannadh, S S Rajamouli, V V Vinayak, Trivikram Srinivas and Sreenu Vaitla. Now, the buzz is that the top among these Pandavulu is Puri Jagannadh.

As such, Sreenu Vaitla is rocking. Puri has made his mark for his aggressive filmmaking and the speed with which he is wrapping up projects. That’s the key credential for any successful director. So, according to our rating, Puri stands at number 1, Vaitla stands at 2, Rajamouli is good but his delayed projects have put him at 3, Trivikram Srinivas has potential but for now he is at 4, V V Vinayak stands at 5. The best part is, though young directors are coming and making their presence felt, these Pandavulu are still in the top league.
