Pushpa is my recent favorite. I think they portrayed Pushpa character really well. His start and his raise.

Thanks for sharing guys, if there are any south classics from Prakash Raj please share the names. I find him as the best actor from south industry. Bollywood just didn’t give him a role where he could show his skills

Mahesh didn’t overact during his initial days when he acted in Murari, Okkadu, Nijam, Athadu and Pokiri. Agree with the comment that he overacts but I see that trend in Bollywood too especially with the Khans. Love the Khan movies in the 90s.

Also, if you consider Netflix series as well in this list- do include “stories by Ravindranath Tagore”. These are mostly women-centric stories, and about human emotions, vulnerabilities etc. presented in a very beautiful way.
