Idu Entha Premavayya..! (transl. What kind of love is this..!) is a 1999 Indian Kannada-language romantic drama film directed by Kodlu Ramakrishna and starring Ramesh Aravind and Shilpa. The film's plot is inspired by the Hindi film Kaamchor (1982), which itself was a remake of the Telugu film Subhodayam (1980).[1]
The film follows Arun, a lazy man, marries Apoorva, a rich woman, for her money. However, she finds out his true intentions and leaves him, making him realise his mistake and try to win her over again.[2]
Plot[edit]
Arun has been an aimless and lazy slacker all his adult life, who has no goals for his future. He lives with his brother, sister-in-law, and nephew Santhosh. On one occasion, he gate crashes into one of his brother's supervisor's friend's wedding ceremony and finds out that the would-be groom is to live with his in-laws. To Arun's delight, he finds out that the bride Aparna has an unmarried sister Apoorva. They both are the daughters of a rich industrialist, Karanam Sadashiva Rai. Friendship develops between the two and she helps him get a job in her father's company. Later Arun convinces her father, and gets married to her.
