Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy 

Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy reportedly earned over Rs 100 crore worldwide. The movie fared the best in the Telugu-speaking states and other regions of the South. Amitabh Bachchan has featured in a cameo in the movie, while it also stars Nayanthara, Tamannaah Bhatia, Ravi Kishan, Jagapathy Babu, Vijay Sethupathi, among others. The war drama was particularly hailed for its action sequences. The movie could have probably done better than it did in the other parts of the country, if not for the juggernaut of War, which released with Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy and went on to set records.
