Is 2026 the worst TFI year in this decade (or two)? (thumbnail for reference only)

Thumbnail is for reference only - not saying specifically those movies are bad.

So far, most movies end up being average affairs (to flops). Low expectations for MSVPG (and Sankranthi fervor) worked for it, and considering its the decent one out of the bunch I have seen - but its nothing memorable obviously. Its a "in the moment" kind of film that's forgettable (like most Anil Ravipudi movies).

Even including that, I cannot think of a decent non-regressive telugu film this year. It has its "problems" as well (justificaiton of slapping).

We are waiting for Paradise. That seems to be only "big" hope this year and that one also - I have a fear that it will become similar "antha boggu mayam...antha mass narkudu mayam" type film - and Nani's script selection has gone down (Hit 3 and SS were proof of that).

I am not sure if G2 or any other films planned for 2026 will release before December end or Sankranthi. Dacoit made me lose hope on Forest Snake also.

What do you guys think?
