What the story is about

Ravi, son of a multimillionaire in Hyderabad, and Vasundhara, daughter of a milk supplier, are classmates. She starts out despising him as a sportsman with no interest in his studies, but her dislike gradually turns to love, and he falls for her too. Neither family will hear of the match. Their parents set a condition meant to end it: the two must not meet for a year, and if they still love each other after that, the families will agree. The rest of the film follows the young couple as their parents try everything to keep them apart.

Reviews

Reviews were mixed. Griddaluru Gopalrao of Zamin Ryot said that “for an ordinary story, Teja has written an extra-ordinary screenplay”. Jeevi of Idlebrain gave it two and three-quarter stars out of 5, arguing that a simple story had been loaded with twists and “unwanted violence”. Sify called it “a mish-mash of Bollywood love stories like Bobby, QSQT and Maine Pyaar Kiya” but praised the music and cinematography.

Box office and awards

Audiences made it a major hit. T2BLive puts its distributors’ share at ₹16 crore, a figure also cited from NDTV and The Times of India. It won four Filmfare Awards South, including Best Film – Telugu, and five Nandi Awards. It was remade in Hindi as Yeh Dil (2003), with Anita reprising her role, and in Tamil as Madurai Veeran (2007).
