Рамуду... Я люблю тебя! (2004)

Adavi Ramudu is a 2004 Indian Telugu-language romantic action film which was directed by B. Gopal. It stars Prabhas and Aarti Agarwal in the leading roles, with Nasser, Telangana Shakuntala, and Brahmanandam appearing in supporting roles. The narrative centers on a love story between a tribal youth and his childhood sweetheart, set against a backdrop of forest politics and familial opposition. Produced by Chanti Addala under Friendly Movies, the film's music was composed by Mani Sharma. Released shortly after Prabhas's breakthrough success with Varsham, Adavi Ramudu was highly anticipated but failed to meet expectations. Upon its release, it garnered largely negative reviews from both critics and audiences, criticising its conventional storyline and outdated direction. Consequently, the film emerged as a box office bomb, grossing over a mere ₹10.90 crore against its expensive budget. Notably, this film marked the final work of cinematographer V. S. R. Swamy, who died in 2008.
