Prema Parva is a 1983 Indian Kannada-language romantic drama film directed by S. Siddalingaiah starring his son Murali and Bhavya in their film debut.[2]
The film was a box office success.[3] Although the film was successful, it was not as successful as Siddalingaiah hoped it would be and shattered his hope.[4] The film was remade in Tamil as Poovilangu (1984), which catapulted Murali to stardom in Tamil cinema. The 1992 Hindi movie Jeena Marna Tere Sang was loosely based on Prema Parva.
Murali's entry into films was debated at home, but his mother encouraged his father to direct his debut film. While shooting in Malleshwaram, Bengaluru, a bystander yelled "Yeno kariya, neenu act madtiya" (What dark fellow, are you acting?).[5]
The soundtrack was composed by Rajan–Nagendra.[6]
