Aithe Enti is a 2004 Indian Telugu-language thriller film directed by Soma Vijay Prakash and starring Namitha, newcomer Steven Kapoor, and Mohit Chadda. The film was criticised for adding vulgar scenes to the forty-five minute screenplay.
The film follows Sanjay, a man who dreams about a girl he never met named Anjali. When Sanjay finds out that Anjali is married to Veerendra Sharma, he gives a photograph to a professional killer (Malhotra) to kill Sharma. However, Sanjay accidentally gave a photograph of himself to the killer.
The film began production under the name The Deal and was initialled planned as a bilingual in Telugu and Hindi. Mumbai-based model Mohit was cast as one of the leads along with Namitha, whose real-life boyfriend, Steven Kapoor, played her husband in the film. Bollywood actress Shefali Jariwala did an item song in the film.[1] The film was directed by Habib Nasir, who left the project midway along with Namitha and Kapoor due to script changes made by Soma Vijay Prakash (the film's producer) to suit the film's low budget. Soma Vijay Prakash took over direction and added a comedy track that involved himself as an actor.[2]
Ghantadi Krishna composed the music. Lyrics by Jayasurya, R.D.S. Prakash and Sahiti. Audio released by Supreme Music.[3] [4]
The film received negative reviews for its vulgar scenes.[5] Gudipoodi Srihari of The Hindu appreciated "The concept and presentation of the main theme is quite interesting", but criticised how "The criminal part of the main drama, towards the end, is the only saving grace of the film".[6] Jeevi of Idlebrain.com noted that "This film takes the audience for a ride. You can safely avoid watching this flick". Mithun Verma of Full Hyderabad criticised the film and said that "Aithe Enti is a bad movie".
