Directed by SJ Suryah, KUSHI movie 2001 lo oka euphoria ani cheppachu. Though it is a remake film, Pawan Kalyan-Bhumika’s KUSHI is undoubtedly one of the greatest entertainers Tollywood has ever produced. The film holds the record of being the highest grossing film in the Nizam State of Andhra Pradesh and it was the biggest Telugu hit film in 2001.

Pawan Kalyan: 6 movies old Pawan, excelled in this film like never before. His dialogue delivery, fighting, singing and dancing skills enhanced the film's appeal and made it appear different from the original.

Jalsa lo he came close to Kushi feels, but Kushi’s acting is something that’s irreplacable.

Craze & Stardom: After Kushi, Pawan Kalyan didn’t taste success for a very long time, but the craze never died. Pawan Kalyan’s prathi movie ki ippatiki adhe range craze, adhe range following. Why? Kushi is the answer.. Why Kushi ? That’s the magic! Ee movie create chesina STARDOM eppatiki saashwatham. Ee movie appudu youth ki one and only icon - Pawan Kalyan.

DESTINY: The movie’s core subject talks about destiny. The lead characters - as two babies, unknown to eachother, - clasp each other’s hands, who end up getting married to each other in the end. Everything that happens in between, even some random person crossing a road (SJ SURYA), plays a role in shaping their ‘destiny’.

Ee movie starting lo two babies chethulu patkunetapudu oche music - feature phones and internet ochaka - became the most download ringtone! STORY: Interestingly, the movie doesn’t have a ‘real story’. It’s all in the Screenplay. Oka love story ni ila kuda theeyaccha anela ochindi ee movie - which took the industry by storm back then. Two people, meet in college, become friends, start liking each other, have silly fights, love grows, but at one point of time - they have a big fight, which leads to an ego clash between them. They both are so egoistic that they don’t make up but continue to love each other in their hearts. The director Surya has woven the story of two lovers with giant size egos who are reluctant to kiss and make up. The lovers never try to make up, which is really what makes the film work. An ordinary story line has been woven extraordinary by the director.
