The Top Telugu Films, 2008
Kotha Bangaru Lokam
Director: Srikanth Addala Released on Vijayadasami, this movie is directed by debutant Srikanth Addala. It is hugely inspired by Sekhar Kammula's Happy Days, still running in theatres. Varun Sandesh (of Happy Days fame) was paired with Shweta Prasad (of Iqbal fame), making her Telugu debut.



The love story, shot against a college backdrop, had refreshing scenes, good music from Mickey J Meyer, great performances by Varun, Shwetha, Jayasudha, Prakash Raj, Rao Ramesh and brilliant camerawork by Chota K Naidu.



'Dil' Raju, the producer, continued his golden winning streak with this project.
