Anbae Odi Vaa

Prema transfers to a college in the same town as college student Mahesh. She is rich, beautiful and harbors a deep sense of entitlement. Mahesh is reserved and primarily focused on his education as well as excelling in running track. He politely ignores Prema the few times they meet which enrages her. She makes it a point to reach out to him and fosters a friendship. Mahesh soon falls in love with Prema and she becomes the focus of life. Prema plays along in an attempt to get revenge.

Directed by R.Renjith Kumar, Anbae Odi Vaa leans on a strong ensemble — Mohan, Urvashi, Indira — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1984.
