5. Sarilerru Nikevarru

Watch Sarileru Neekevvaru | Prime VideoThis film has Rashmika Mandanna and Mahesh Babu as the main cast. The character of Samskruthi, played by Rashmika Mandanna, is childish and immature.

He tries his best to help his namesake’s family, a soldier who lost his life for the nation. Samskruthi falls in love with him. They both travel on the same train. Throughout the journey, she tries to woo him now and then.

This film coveys a meaningful message that soldiers of our country sacrifice their happiness, wishes, dreams, relations, even lives just for the safety of Indian citizens and the pride of our nation.

Every actor, including Prakash Raj, Sangeetha, Vijayshanti and Hari Teja, did not disappoint the audience. The writers have written the story keeping everything in mind.
