'Cupid could strike at any point of time. It can happen before marriage or after marriage', says the Agony aunt Suhasini to the fretting Prakash Raj! These Telugu love stories are becoming more matured in these days! And it happens to the heroine who is already engaged. Trivikram Srinivas, the dialogue writer, and his films revolved around the same point. Take the example of Chiru Navvuto, Nuvvu Kavali and Nuvvu Naaku Nachav (NNN). In all these films, the heroine gets engaged to a 3rd person before falling in love with hero. In the films Nuvvu Kavali and NNN, the heroine is willing to elope with hero. But hero controls her and takes the onus of organizing the marriage of heroine to impress upon the parents of the heroine.

In the preview of NNN written yesterday at idlebrain.com, Jeevi enthusiastically wrote that this kind of storyline could be inspired Robert De Niro's 'Meet My Parents'. Guess what! The director could not resist from flicking a comedy scene from that film. There is a hilarious scene where the hero makes a fool of himself by offering a prayer before having the dinner at heroine's residence followed by the heroine's father reciting another hilarious poem written for his late mother. This scene was a straight lift from 'Meet My Parents'.

Venky films ooze freshness. And this freshness can be contributed for importing the fair skinned heroines from the greener pastures. If he has imported Divya Bharati, Priti Zinta and Anjala Zhaveri from bollywood, this time the producers went ahead and picked up the yummy heroine Aarti Agrawal from the land of Uncle Sam! She wore only traditional dresses in the entire film. But if you like legs, you are in for a treat in the 4th song of the film in which she bared her long shapely legs to the extreme extent with a couple of dresses. Otherwise, this sumptuous heroine is prim and proper.

Here, we need to discuss about the various kinds of love that have become trademarks for different storywriters. For Trivikram Srinivas, the heroine falling in love with hero after getting engaged to a third fellow is his trademark. For the dialogue writer Teja (who also directed Chitram and Nuvvu-Nenu), it's ok to fall in love and get married as minors. Both these films deal about the child marriages and are been supported by the director fervently.

As told by Agony aunt Suhasini, cupid can stuck you at any point of time. And for heroine, love can happen a couple of times too. Checkout Anjala Zhaveri's character in the film 'Ravoyi Chandamama'! She falls in with Jagapati Babu first and then with Nagarjuna.

I am getting little tensed up with these kind of love stories pouring in for Tollywood lovers. I am afraid that Rani would get influenced soon. I should take some precautions before the cupid strikes for Rani one more time. What do you say, guys!
