What happens

Chitram (transl. Picture) is a 2000 Indian Telugu-language romantic comedy film written and directed by Teja. The film stars debutants Uday Kiran and Reema Sen in the lead roles. The music of the movie was composed by R. P. Patnaik. It was released on June 16, 2000, and received critical acclaim, as well as emerging as a blockbuster at the box office, collecting a distributor's share of ₹12 crore on a shoe-string budget of ₹42 lakh. It set the stage for the rise of Uday Kiran as a youth icon during the early 2000's along with being a breakthrough for the director Teja and the actress, Reema Sen. The film was produced by Ramoji Rao. Along with his other production, Nuvve Kavali, released later that year, Chitram was one of the biggest blockbusters for Telugu cinema during the early 2000's. The film was released as Chithiram in Tamil in 2001 with the film mostly featuring scenes dubbed from the original although scenes involving Manivannan and Senthil were added. The movie was remade in Kannada as Chitra and was a successful venture. The film ran for 100 days in 12 centers. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
