If you’ve grown up watching ‘Ninne Pelladatha’, then let us tell you; It’s been 20 years since its release. Feel old? We do too! Back in 1996, when the movie hit the screens, it created a craze among Tollywood fans. The movie was soon remade in other languages, but the original is our favourite.
Directed by Krishna Vamsi and produced under the banner of Annapurna studios, the movie gave us one of the hottest on screen couples; Tabu and Nagarjuna. It was a perfect family entertainer, had an intriguing script and not to forget, a massive star cast! Right from Lakshmi to Chandra Mohan, the cast was perfect and the climax kept us on the edge.
Though it’s remembered as a family entertainer and one of the biggest blockbusters of Tollywood, let’s not forget, the romance of Nagarjuna and Tabu set the screen on fire!
As we fill in our hearts with nostalgia, here’s a look at our most favourite moments of the romantic classic!
