What happens

Aravinda Sametha Veera Raghava (transl. Veera Raghava along with Aravinda) is a 2018 Indian Telugu-language action drama film written and directed by Trivikram Srinivas. The film stars N. T. Rama Rao Jr. and Pooja Hegde alongside Jagapathi Babu, Naveen Chandra, Eesha Rebba and Sunil. S. Thaman composed the soundtrack, in his official 100th musical composition. The film follows Veera Raghava Reddy, who returns from London. After a brutal attack that leaves his father dead, Raghava seeks to break the cycle of violence instead of avenging him. He leaves for Hyderabad, where he meets Aravinda and her family, and is compelled to protect them. As his relationship with Aravinda grows, he attempts to end the generational blood feud. Aravinda Sametha Veera Raghava was released theatrically on 11 October 2018 to positive reviews, with praise directed at the performances of N. T. Rama Rao Jr., Pooja Hegde and Jagapathi Babu, the emotional depth of the story, action choreography, Trivikram's writing and direction, and Thaman's soundtrack and background score. The film was a major commercial success, opening to ₹60 crore and grossing ₹190 crore worldwide, becoming the third highest-grossing Telugu film of 2018. Jagapathi Babu won the Filmfare Best Supporting Actor Award for his performance. The film is widely considered an antithesis to traditional factionalism based films and is frequently cited in analyses regarding the evolution of the "faction film" genre. It delves into the psychological, emotional, and social repercussions of generational violence, with a specific focus on the role of women in ending such cycles. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
