Satyam

Satyam is an unbelievably nice guy. Everybody likes him--except for the two people he loves most, his father and Ankita, the girl with whom he is in love with. Because he and his father don't get along, Sathyam leaves home and starts living with friends. A sensitive man and sensible writer, Satyam ghost-writes for a popular film lyricist. He wants to prove himself as lyricist before meeting Ankita, when he intends to express his love for her; except in the meanwhile, a flamboyant classmate of Ankita proposes to her.

Directed by Surya Kiran, Satyam leans on a strong ensemble — Sumanth, Genelia D'Souza, Kota Srinivasa Rao — 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 2003.
