Today, I watched Geethanjali for the first time

I didn't get any chance to watch it on TV during my childhood, maybe because it was telecasted less number of times on tv. After a longtime, I felt like wanting to watch a pure lovestory. I remembered this one and started watching.

I started watching it with a perception that it's going to be a sad story, that means heavily relies on sad themes and tragedy. But, this one surprised me. It was a great fun watch. Mani Ratnam and PC Sreeram both really did excellent work in their debut Telugu film. Every song by Ilayaraja is superb, distinct and catchy. They touched the life and death themes so carefully that it doesn't go melodramatic and also feels emotional.

No wonder, Nagarjuna is the OG Manmadhudu. And, Geethanjali - Girija Shettar did well. Her eyes convey such pure love. Mani Ratnam's heroines carry such natural beauty and innocence that we instantly fall in love.

Any recommendations on movies like Geethanjali?
