2020 Telugu Movies Half-Yearly Report: Disco Raja And Jaanu Top The Biggest Flop List

There is no denying that 2020 has been an impressive year for the Telugu Film Industry. Kicking off with hits like Allu Arjun's Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo and Mahesh Babu's Sarileru Neekevvaru to name a few, the year also had some disaster movies to disappoint the audiences. For now, the film industry had taken a short break from shoots and production activities owing to the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent lockdown.

Though the state government recently gave permission to resume shoot in a phased manner, the sudden spike in COVID-19 cases has stopped the production activities yet again. Hoping that the makers and stars get back to work to entertain the audiences yet again, let us take a look at the half-yearly report of movies which proved to be a big disaster at the theatres this year.
