Tholi Prema

Venky Atluri's 2018 Telugu film follows two people who are complete opposites. Aaditya decides on the spot and does not hesitate to say what he thinks; Varsha does not let her feelings determine her actions. The two meet several times across the years. The structure runs through three separate periods. The same two people meet again at different ages and in different cities; at each meeting they carry the outcome of the last, and the narrative does not try to correct it. Varun Tej and Raashii Khanna lead. The narrative follows the template of Telugu romance but is measured in how it justifies the woman's decisions. The music was decisive in its popularity. Who it's for: those who like Telugu romantic drama. Who it's not for: viewers expecting unpredictable development; the film follows the familiar stages.
