# Ammaye Navvithe

Ammaye Navvithe (transl. If The Girl Laughs) is a 2001 Telugu-language comedy film produced by V. Anand Prasad under the Sudha Art Productions banner and directed by V. Jyoti Kumar. It stars Rajendra Prasad, Bhavana and music composed by M. M. Srilekha. This movie is one of the very few Telugu movies in which Kannada Actress Bhavana Ramanna acted. Though the film was recorded as a flop at the box office, Bhavana has been praised for her acting and naive glamorous appeal.

## Plot

The film begins in a village called Talamanchi, where Seshadri Naidu is an arbiter & adored as a deity who mandates capital punishment for justice. He is a paterfamilias to a conscientious joint family and dotes on his naughty daughter, Sirisha. Seshadri Naidu administrates a college in the town of the feudal era & robustness towards women where Sirisha also studies. Meanwhile, Sundaram, a young, charming, comical guy, enters the terrain to gain a vacant Hindi lecturer post. Whereat, he acquaints & pacifies his buddy DD, a tutor therein. Sundaram acquires Seshadri Naidu's faith in wangle, gets hired, and falls for Sirisha. Indeed, Seshadri Naidu possesses a sibling, Rajeswari, who has been exiting the house long back to knit her love interest. Nirmala, her mate, aids with this, so Seshadri Naidu ostracizes her. Nirmala currently backs and views strangely at Sundaram as a familiar. Next, Sundaram starts wooing Sirisha when, as a tongue twist, he challenges DD to make Sirisha propose to him in 15 days. Being conscious of it, Seshadri Naidu furiously stipulates allowing 15 days to succeed Sirisha's love; if not, he must pay the death penalty.
From there, Sundaram starts his game, which proceeds humorously. Though Sirisha crushes, she stiffly pokes fun at him and decides to pronounce her love at the last minute. Just before, DD conveys Sundaram to abscond, which he refuses and gets ready for execution. Yet, he forcibly carries him while Seshadri Naidu rounds them up. At the death's gate, Nirmala announces Sundaram is Rajeswari's son when he is on cloud nine to triumphing a family. Later, she reveals it as a lie to guard him when frightened Sundaram is about to flee. Suddenly, Seshadri Naidu & family welcome him as the nephew, showering dear emotions and fixing his wedlock with Sirisha. Then Sundaram's mouth slips again, declaring Rajeswari's demise. However, Sundaram tells Sirisha the truth when she bows before his integrity. Out of the blue, Rajeswari arrives at Nirmala's residence, where Sundaram & Sirisha also reach, affirming the totality, and Rajeswari stays behind. Nevertheless, Sundaram cannot continue the betrayal, states the facts, and prepares for a sentence. At last, Rajeswari shields Sundaram and owns him as her son when remorseful Seshadri Naidu pleads pardon. Finally, the movie ends happily with the marriage of Sundaram & Sirisha.
