Subhavartha is a 1998 Indian Telugu-language drama film directed by P. N. Ramachandra Rao and starring Arjun and Soundarya. The film was partially reshot in Tamil as Mannavaru Chinnavaru with Sivaji Ganesan replacing Kota Srinivasa Rao.[1] [2]

Soundtrack

The songs were composed by Koti. All lyrics were written by Sirivennela Seetharama Sastry.[3] The Tamil soundtrack features 5 songs composed by Geethapriyan.[4]

Reception

A critic from Zamin Ryot wrote that the director should be congratulated for not showing any vulgar and unwanted scenes in this family story film which has a natural flow of good drama.[5]

Reviewing the Tamil version, a critic from Deccan Herald noted "though thespian Sivaji Ganesan and Soundarya shoulder the film, it is too late for the director to realise his mistakes. If some of the stunt and murder scenes are any indication, it seems the director has no basic knowledge about law and order".[6] A critic from The Hindu wrote that "Both Soundarya and Arjun simply mouth the fast paced dialogues, their expressions not doing full justice to the content".[7]
