Lavish melodrama remaking the Hindi hit
Phool Aur Kaante (1992) by a director
known until then mainly for low-budget films.
The teen love story laced with invocations to
heroic machismo includes the parallel narrative
of the hero’s (Nagarjuna) relationship with his
father (Krishna). The scene in which Nagarjuna
holds Krishna by his collar led to major protests
from the fan clubs of the former Telugu
superstar, who placed large advertisements
appealing to his audiences to recognise the
importance of that scene to the story.
