What the story is about

Anjali is the only daughter of the millionaire Viswanath, who adores her so much that when she asks for an ice cream he buys her an ice-cream parlour. He also expects a son-in-law who will never argue with him. Rishi is a good-hearted, happy-go-lucky young man from a middle-class family whose father runs a departmental store. When Anjali joins the college where Rishi is a senior, the two fall in love. Then Viswanath finds out about a dinner date in Mumbai that Anjali tried to cover up, and he sets out to buy Rishi off. Rishi has other ideas, and the battle of wills between the boyfriend and the father is the heart of the film.

Reviews

The critic at Idlebrain.com found the first half fun and youthful but said “it’s the second half that holds the life for Nuvve Nuvve”. Full Hyderabad called it “definitely worth watching, thanks to its tight script, decent music, decent performances, novel treatment and brilliantly written dialogues”. The Deccan Herald saw it the other way round, warning that fans of the first half would find the second “a bit boring”, though still watchable. The Hindu’s review, titled “Simple love story” (reproduced on Idlebrain), noted that most teenage love stories are alike and that this one is no exception.

Prakash Raj won the Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actor – Telugu. At the Nandi Awards the film won the silver for Second Best Feature Film, for producer Sravanthi Ravi Kishore, and Trivikram Srinivas won Best Dialogue Writer.
