Three bros sacrifice everything for love, then get absolutely betrayed. Telugu cinema hits different.
Santosh, the son of a politicians, is in love with his family’s arch rival's daughter. Karunakar, Malli, and Chandu are his friends who sacrifice their dreams to help the two lovers unite. Ten days later, the married lovers give them a shock.
Acting
Ravi Teja brings unexpected gravitas to the loyal friend archetype.
Direction
Samuthirakani's rural aesthetic feels lived-in, not glamorous.
Writing
The ten-day time jump twist recontextualizes everything brutally.
Director
Samuthirakani
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This is a Telugu remake of Samuthirakani's own Tamil film 'Nadodigal' (2009), which he remade again in Kannada as 'Hudugaru'.
The film subverts the 'friends sacrifice for hero's love' trope by making the lovers the actual antagonists—a rare narrative choice in Telugu commercial cinema.
