Sometimes, popular hits come across as if they were directed by someone else. The sensibilities of these movies match those of directors who didn’t actually direct them, but many would like to believe they did. In this section, based on posts by netizens, we share what movie buffs think were directed by different popular directors:
1. Sita Ramam: Mani Ratnam
2. Shatamanam Bhavathi: Srikanth Addala
3. Marco (Malayalam): Ram Gopal Varma
4. Sree Vishnu's Raja Raja Chora: Vivek Athreya
5. Venkatesh's Jayam Manadera: SS Rajamouli
6. Chiranjeevi's Rudhraveena: K Viswanath
7. Allu Arjun's Parugu: Hanu Raghavapudi
8. Jr NTR's Brindavanam: Krishna Vamsi

10. Nani's Dasara: Sukumar
11. Khadgam: Puri Jagannadh

Whether it’s the emotional depth of Sita Ramam that feels like a Mani Ratnam classic or the rustic chaos of Dasara reminiscent of Sukumar’s style, these popular films have sparked intriguing debates among cinephiles. While the actual directors crafted these hits with their own vision, it's a testament to their storytelling that fans can’t help but imagine the fingerprints of other celebrated filmmakers on them.
