Desamuduru
Director: Puri Jagannath
Cast: Allu Arjun, Hansika Motwani
The film ushered in the bountiful harvest season of Sankranthi and was the first hit of the year. Puri Jagannath managed to retain his successful status as a director (after the stupendous success of Pokiri) with Desamuduru .
Allu Arjun with fab six-pack abs and new makeover, a nubile debutante Hansika Motwani, picturesque Kulu-Manali backdrop and some aesthetic camera work by Shyam K. Naidu made the difference to an otherwise usual love story. Arjun played a TV journo while Hansika was the sanyasin.
On the whole, the movie found favour with the youth (thanks to the young, sinewy Arjun) and the masses.
