Tholi Prema
Tholi Prema, a 2018 Indian Telugu-language romantic drama film, marks Venky Atluri's directorial debut and is produced by B. V. S. N. Prasad’s Sri Venkateswara Cine Chitra. Starring Varun Tej and Raashi Khanna, the film revolves around Aditya, who falls for Varsha, a reserved and innocent girl, their love jeopardized by social disparities.
The narrative unfolds with Aditya's desperate search for a missing girl in London, revealing his past. Years ago, after a college prank, he heads to Hyderabad. In a daring feat to obtain a spiked coke bottle called the 'Golden Drop,' Aditya almost faces peril but is rescued by Varsha. Instantly smitten, he proposes to Varsha with a morning ultimatum. Waking up to her absence, Aditya tirelessly searches for months until he joins a university where, to his astonishment, Varsha is enrolled. She discloses enrolling after glimpsing his admission letter on their journey, paying for admission despite securing a free seat elsewhere.
Varsha, hinting at her love, withholds the three crucial words, causing Aditya to persist until, one day, she publicly confesses her love before their university peers. Tholi Prema intricately weaves a tale of love overcoming challenges, complemented by the chemistry of Varun Tej and Raashi Khanna.
Tholi Prema won the National Film Award for Best Feature Film in Telugu and six state Nandi Awards. The movie was also featured in the Indian Panorama mainstream section at the 30th International Film Festival of India.
