What happens

Anjada Gandu ( transl. Fearless man) is a 1988 Indian Kannada-language romantic comedy film produced by B N Gangadhar under the banner of ANS Productions and written and directed by Renuka Sharma. The film stars Ravichandran Khushbu Devaraj and Rasi aliyas Shanthi in the lead roles along with Thoogudeepa Srinivas, Doddanna and Mukhyamantri Chandru in supporting roles. It is a remake of the 1984 Tamil film Thambikku Entha Ooru. The film was based on a screenplay by Renuka Sharma which was itself based on a story by Panchu Arunachalam. It was produced by B N Gangadhar under the newly established production house ANS Productions. The film was Renuka Sharma's comeback film after a hiatus of two years after the 1986 film Namma Ooru Devathe. The film also marked the second collaboration between V. Ravichandran and Khushbu after Ranadheera, which was released earlier the same year. The film's songs were composed by Hamsalekha, while the cinematography was handled by Chinni Prakash. The film was released on 13 July 1988 to positive responses. The film had a theatrical run of 25 weeks and was declared a Blockbuster. The film's songs were chartbusters with all songs considered evergreen hits. Anjada Gandu was the second highest grossing Kannada film of the year only surpassed by Ranadheera, another film which featured both Ravichandran and Khushbu as the lead pair. The consecutive success of Anjada Gandu and Ranadheera made the Ravichandran-Khushbu pair popular. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
