Bujjigadu

Bujjigadu: Made in Chennai, or simply Bujjigadu, is a 2008 Indian Telugu-language action comedy film written and directed by Puri Jagannadh, and produced by K. S. Rama Rao. The film stars Prabhas as the title character alongside Mohan Babu, Trisha, Sanjjana and Kota Srinivasa Rao. In the film, Bujji (Prabhas) and Chitti (Trisha) are two childhood friends who can't live without seeing each other. One day they have an altercation due to which Chitti asks Bujji not to meet her for twelve years, but she promises that she will marry him when they meet after twelve years. The rest of the story is about how they meet each other.

The film opened to primarily mixed reviews from critics, although Prabhas’s performance received acclaim. Bujjigadu emerged as an average grosser, grossing over approximately ₹18.9 crore at the box office. It was later remade in Bangladesh as Pagla Deewana (2015) with Shahriaz and Pori Moni.
