5. Sridevi Soda Center
A lightman is smitten by a soda shop owner’s daughter. While the couple’s love deepens, caste discrimination that runs deep in their community will prevent them from succeeding. It’s a typical Telugu romantic romance film in which the two protagonists’ caste becomes a source of controversy for the rest of the audience. In some ways, this is a well-known cliche.
