Why Ram Charan's Films Are a Must-Watch Right Now
Ram Charan's Peddi stormed into theaters today — June 4, 2026 — with massive advance bookings and a wave of audience anticipation. Directed by Buchi Babu Sana and co-starring Janhvi Kapoor, the sports action drama marks Ram Charan's return to the big screen after his Oscar-winning turn in RRR. But while you plan your visit to PVR or INOX to catch Peddi on the big screen, there's never been a better time to revisit the films that made Ram Charan one of Indian cinema's most bankable stars.
Here's our curated list of Ram Charan's best films streaming on OTT platforms right now — perfect for a pre- or post-Peddi binge.
1. RRR (2022)
IMDb: 7.8/10 | Director: S.S. Rajamouli | Cast: Ram Charan, N.T. Rama Rao Jr., Ajay Devgn, Alia Bhatt
If you've only watched one Ram Charan film, it's likely this one — and for good reason. RRR isn't just a film; it's a global phenomenon. Directed by S.S. Rajamouli, this fictional epic follows two Indian revolutionaries in the 1920s, with Ram Charan playing Alluri Sitarama Raju, a stern and duty-bound police officer with a hidden mission. The Naatu Naatu sequence — a show-stopping dance number that won an Academy Award — is reason enough to rewatch it. But it's Ram Charan's piercing intensity and physical transformation that make this the defining performance of his career.
The fact that RRR won an Oscar (Best Original Song) and swept awards globally tells you about its scale. But what sticks with Indian audiences is the raw emotion in the Komuram Bheemudo sequence — Ram Charan at his most deeply felt, shedding the action-star armour for something genuinely vulnerable. This is the essential Ram Charan watch.

2. Rangasthalam (2018)
IMDb: 8.2/10 | Director: Sukumar | Cast: Ram Charan, Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Aadhi Pinisetty
Ask any Telugu cinema fan for Ram Charan's best film, and Rangasthalam is the name that comes up most often. And it's not hard to see why. Ram Charan plays Chitti Babu, a hearing-impaired villager whose sharp instincts and deep loyalty to his brother pull him into a violent political conflict against a tyrannical village president. It's a role that demands everything — physicality, restraint, warmth, and bursts of righteous fury — and Ram Charan delivers it all without a single word of dialogue in his everyday register.
Director Sukumar builds a rural world so textured you can almost feel the Godavari dust. Samantha's performance as the feisty love interest adds emotional ballast. But it's Ram Charan's Chitti Babu — the wide-eyed innocent who becomes an unlikely warrior — that makes Rangasthalam a masterpiece. The scene where he realises his brother has been betrayed is one of the finest acted moments in modern Telugu cinema. If you watch only one Ram Charan film before Peddi, make it this one.

3. Magadheera (2009)
IMDb: 7.7/10 | Director: S.S. Rajamouli | Cast: Ram Charan, Kajal Aggarwal, Dev Gill
Before Rajamouli made RRR and Baahubali, he made Magadheera — and this film is where Ram Charan proved he could carry a period epic on his shoulders. The story spans 400 years, linking a warrior's tragic love story in a medieval kingdom to a modern-day bike racer who discovers he's the reincarnation of that same warrior. It's a sprawling, operatic film with jaw-dropping action set-pieces — the horse chase sequence and the climactic sword fight remain benchmarks in Telugu action cinema.
What makes Magadheera special for Ram Charan fans is seeing his raw ambition as a young actor. He brings real fire to the warrior Harsha, and the emotional weight of a love that spans lifetimes anchors the spectacle. Twenty-plus wins at awards ceremonies and nearly 16 years later, it still holds up as Rajamouli's most emotionally ambitious film before Baahubali.

4. Dhruva (2016)
IMDb: 7.7/10 | Director: Surender Reddy | Cast: Ram Charan, Arvind Swamy, Rakul Preet Singh
Want to see Ram Charan in pure action-thriller mode? Dhruva is the answer. A remake of the Tamil hit Thani Oruvan, this film casts Ram Charan as an IPS officer on a relentless mission to bring down a corrupt scientist (played brilliantly by Arvind Swamy). It's a classic cat-and-mouse thriller — the kind where both hero and villain are equally intelligent, and the chase is as intellectual as it is physical.
Ram Charan brings a coiled intensity to Dhruva that feels different from his other roles. There's no period-costume grandeur here, no village charm — just a sharp, modern cop with a singular obsession. The face-off scenes with Arvind Swamy crackle with tension. For fans of smart action thrillers, this is Ram Charan at his most contemporary and controlled.

5. Orange (2010)
IMDb: 6.6/10 | Director: Bommarillu Baskar | Cast: Ram Charan, Genelia Deshmukh, Shazahn Padamsee
Before RRR and Rangasthalam, there was Orange — a lighthearted romantic comedy that shows a completely different side of Ram Charan. He plays a stubborn young man who doesn't believe in lasting love, opposite Genelia Deshmukh's spirited romantic. It's a frothy, colourful film set in Australia with breezy music and genuine comedic chemistry between the leads.
What makes Orange interesting in Ram Charan's filmography is how effortless he is in a pure rom-com — no action, no period weight, just charm. The film's soundtrack by Harris Jayaraj, particularly Ola Olaala, remains a fan favourite. It's not his most acclaimed film, but it's an essential watch for anyone wanting to see the full range of his career before the mega-stardom. A reminder that Ram Charan can do light and funny just as well as intense and explosive.
