Maa Aavida Meeda Ottu Mee Aavida Chala Manchidi 2001

Praveen Vadde Naveen and Subadra Raasi fall in love against their families and decide to elope. They plan to meet at the bus station one night, but Praveen fails to turn up for reasons that aren’t clear, while Subadra is caught by her parents and forcibly taken away.

Sometime later, Subadra is married to Jagdeesh [Srikanth], and the couple settles in Prem Nagar colony in Hyderabad. Jagdeesh, who works as a manager in a car showroom, continually tries to win Subadra’s affection, but she remains distant and guarded. Praveen then joins the same company where Jagdeesh works, and the two quickly become close acquaintances. Praveen also moves into the neighborhood with his wife Kanaka Durga [Laya], and their houses sit side by side, setting the stage for a tangled web of relationships.

Soon, Praveen discovers that Subadra is Jagdeesh’s wife. When Subadra grows angry with Praveen for missing their planned night together, Praveen reveals a dark past: he was unconscious for ten days after being beaten by his father. Subadra, still carrying a flame for Praveen, proposes another elopement so they can marry. Praveen, torn between affection and a sense of caution, tries to persuade Subadra that Jagdeesh is a kind-hearted man, but Subadra’s resolve remains firm.

One day, the two decide to leave for Goa, telling their spouses they’re taking a trip for different reasons. They check into a hotel, where Subadra begins to feel guilty about their actions. There they encounter GV [Prakash Raj] and Avanti, ex-classmates of Praveen who are now a couple themselves. Avanti’s own husband dies by suicide after their elopement, a chilling parallel that underscores the precariousness of choices forged in passion.

As time passes, Subadra grows fond of her husband Jagdeesh and starts to suspect Praveen’s more materialistic motives behind the elopement. After several days, Subadra returns to Hyderabad, leaving a note for Praveen confessing that she no longer wishes to remarry and would prefer to stay with Jagdeesh.

Meanwhile, Kanaka Durga learns that Praveen has eloped with her neighbor’s wife and responds with scorn and disgust. Subadra, overwhelmed by social judgment, contemplates suicide; Kanaka Durga, by contrast, contemplates abortion to avoid bearing a child from what she sees as an act of betrayal. Both women end up at Mediciti hospital, where GV and Avanti work as doctors, and where Praveen and Jagdeesh also arrive. There, GV and Avanti reveal that Subadra’s elopement with Praveen was secretly orchestrated to make her realize the value of marriage and a loving husband. In the end, Subadra and Kanaka Durga recognize their mistakes and reunite with their respective husbands, finding a path back to stability and family.
