Simple Agi Ondh Love Story
Simple Agi Ondh Love Story (or "Simpalaag Ond Love Story") is a 2013 Indian Kannada-language romantic comedy film written and directed by Suni, and stars Rakshit Shetty and Shwetha Srivatsav. The film was remade in Telugu in 2018 as "Idi Naa Love Story". Plot. Kushal (Rakshit Shetty) is sent by his radio jockey sister Rachana to Polibetta located in Kodagu to meet her boyfriend's sister, Dr.Ithihasini, in the hope that the two will take a liking to each other, leading to marriage, and thus paving the way for her own marriage. Kushal  meets a bubbly girl (Shwetha Srivatsav) who claims to be Ithihasini, and says the rest of the family is out of town. The two share their past romantic liaisons. Ithihasini's actions seem a little odd and her responses to Kushal's questions all avoid direct answers so it's not really a surprise when Kushal's sister calls to tell him that the girl he has been spending time with is not Ithihasini at all. When confronted the fake Ithihasini comes up with a number of different stories, but Kushal finds her even more intriguing as a result and  declares his love for her despite not knowing who she actually is, although he does finally discover her real name is Khushi. Khushi is suffering from anterograde amnesia (loss of memory), the story takes a drastic leap from here. Production.
