Happy Birthday Vijay Deverakonda: 5 Best Films Of The Actor

Vijay Deverakonda celebrated his birthday on Friday (May 9). Wishes from fans, co-stars and colleagues have been pouring in since morning. His upcoming film Kingdom has been hitting all the right notes. From poster and teaser to plotline and action sequences, fans are hoping that the actor will strike the box office with vengeance. Meanwhile, let’s turn the spotlight on to some of Vijay’s best films.

Pelli Choopulu

Vijay Deverakonda for the first time shouldered the film as a lead actor. The film won two National Film Awards for Best Telugu Film and Best Screenplay. Vijay was superb and promised a lot. The way he has portrayed his confused character spoke volumes of his talent. His chemistry with the leading lady Ritu Varma is amazing. Slice-of-life films can be great fun when they hit the right note, and Pelli Choopulu is a classic example.

Arjun Reddy

Arjun Reddy was the game changer for Vijay. The action-drama scripted history at the box office and catapulted the actor to stardom. His flawed character, mannerisms and gestures in acting gave the audience a new high. His role as a wealthy high-functioning alcoholic surgeon with anger management problems resonated with the audiences. The actor since then never looked back.

Yevade Subramanyam

After being part of a slew of films in supporting cast, Vijay Deverakonda got his breakthrough with the film Yevade Subramanyam. Although the film stars Nani, Vijay was lauded for bringing life to his character, Rishi. He made people sit up and take notice of his performance. He truly announced his arrival.

Taxiwaala

Vijay Deverakonda was spot on with his comic timing in Taxiwaala. The film is an engaging horror comedy that has an interesting concept, comedy, and decent thrills. The film brought out a new dimension in Vijay’s acting. The actor looks dashing as a stylish cabbie and his simple performance gels with the whole set up.

Geetha Govindam

Geetha Govindam was the right follow up and a welcome departure after the blockbuster Arjun Reddy. The family drama was a runaway hit at the box office. Vijay’s onscreen chemistry with Rashmika Mandanna was an instant hit among the audiences. Gopi Sundar’s music works beautifully for the narrative. Vijay got closer to the women and his female fan base started to grow.
