Prema Katha is a 1999 Indian Telugu-language romance drama film written by Vara Prasad Varma and directed by Ram Gopal Varma. It is the debut film of both Sumanth and Antara Mali as leads in the Telugu film industry. The film opened to positive reviews by critics but was commercially unsuccessful. It had a highly praised soundtrack by Sandeep Chowta including the hit song "Devudu Karunisthaadani".[1] The film bagged six state Nandi Awards[2] [3] and was dubbed into Tamil as Kadhal Vanile.[4]
Set in a rural backdrop, it is a love story between a poor village boy Suri (Sumanth) and a rich upper-class girl Divya (Antara Mali), much to the opposition of the latter's violent brother, Sankaram (Manoj Bajpayee).[5]
The music was composed by Sandeep Chowta and released by Aditya Music. All lyrics were written by Sirivennela Seetharama Sastry.
