Ninne Ishtapaddanu is a 2003 Telugu-language film directed by Konda and produced by KL Narayana under Sri Durga Arts. The film stars Tarun and Sridevi in the lead roles. The film was dubbed and released in Tamil as Uyiraai Ninaithen.
Charan (Tarun) is a fun loving college-going guy in Vizag. He meets Sanjana (Anitha) in an interesting style. They start off their relationship with quarreling and slowly they fall in love with each other. Sanjana leaves to Hyderabad after the graduation is over. Charan also leaves to Hyderabad in search of Sanjana, as he did not get any phone calls or mails from Sanjana. On his way to Hyderabad, he meets an NRI called Boney (Rajiv Kanakala), who comes to India in search of a bride. After reaching Hyderabad, Charan accidentally meets another girl called Geeta (Sridevi), who works in All India Radio and somehow settles in her house as guest. One day, he spots Sanjana who ridicules his love and says that she pretended love to him only to take revenge on him for the pranks he played on her during college time. Then she hands him over her wedding card. And the bridegroom turns out to be Boney. The rest of the film revolves around these four characters – Charan, Boney, Sanjana and Geetanjali. The climax is all about who gets whom.

A critic from Idlebrain.com wrote that "It's a neat film that is narrated in a slow pace. The film picks up its mood after 'I love you' (3rd one) song. But in the second half, the intentions of hero are not shown to the audiences till the climax of the film".[4] A critic from The Hindu wrote that "though the story runs on predictable lines, it has a strong grip. Another notable factor is its background score, quite subdued and effective".[5] A critic from Full Hyderabad wrote that "Ninne Ishtapaddanu is your regular Telugu movie that you won't regret watching".[6]
