Allari story (no spoilers)
Allari is a coming-of-age Telugu comedy-romance about Ravi, a boy who keeps landing in complicated situations at home and outside. The story follows a triangular romance between Ravi and two girls, Ruchi and Aparna (Appu), and explores the twin emotions of true love and teenage infatuation. The tone is light and comedic, with the confusion of adolescence driving the plot. Released on 10 May 2002, the film was a box-office success and later remade in Tamil as Kurumbu. Naresh became so popular with this film that he prefixed 'Allari' to his name.

Our verdict
Allari is a light, honest look at a boy juggling two girls and family chaos, carried by Allari Naresh in the role that gave him his nickname. It is a product of its time—a 145-minute comedy-romance that found success in 2002 and was remade in Tamil. Watch it for the cast and the director's take on teenage infatuation, not for high drama.
