KuMaRuDu


Raja Kumarudu is a Telugu movie, released in 1999. The film stars Bollywood actress Preity Zinta and Tollywood actor Mahesh Babu.

Raj Kumar (Mahesh Babu) goes on holiday in Khandala and stays with his uncle Dhanunjay (Prakash Raj). He comes across Rani (Preity Zinta) and falls for her. However he ends up teasing her and she begins to despise him. She is determined to avoid him but he won't leave her alone. Raj Kumar saves Rani from some thugs and she is impressed by his heroism. After spending some time together she begins to like him and eventually love him.

Unfortunately his uncle(Prakash Raj, who happens to be the hero's mother's brother) has made other plans for him, where-in he reveals the actual past of the hero's parents and his family. He mentions the challenge that he made with his in-laws to get the hero married with his daughter. Complying to this, the hero informs the heroine that their relationship needs to end there, of course with a very heavy and broken heart!!!!

On going back along with his uncle to the village for his uncle's daughter, to his joy he sees that it's none other than the heroine herself.

The rest of the movie revolves around the plot that is woven by him and his uncle to gain the heroine's hand and re-uniting the uncle with his family. This is done in a comical sense and is fun to watch!!!

Mahesh Babu definitely looks like a prince who is on his way to show something to the world of Tollywood!!!
