Virata Parvam (Telugu):

Generally, for a love story set in warfare, especially where the protagonist is a revolutionary fighter, the movie will be testosterone-filled and packed with energy. The story will be narrated from the eyes of the Male lead, and how he accepts or declines the female lead’s love. However, Virata Parvam, directed by Venu Udugula, dealt with a sincere love story in a very different way. The movie is a first-hand account of Vennela’s (Sai Pallavi) life and love for Ravi (Rana Daggubati).  It is about how she starts falling in love with Ravi Shankar, and how she finds ways and means and shortcuts to somehow reach him. It is about how she struggles to convince him of her love when he rejects her. It is also about how she ends up joining the revolution as it is the only way she can be with him. We need more love stories like Virata Parvam because most love stories in Indian Cinema revolve around the feelings of the Hero and never the Heroine. We need more love stories like this one, that narrate to what extent women can go for love, not only men.
