Plot
[edit | edit source]Maadesha works as a mechanic in a garage. He is liked by an innocent college-going girl Aishwarya who is the daughter of a local don Potharaju. Aishwarya is deeply in love with him and they elope. Later the gang members of Potharaju are in search of the couple. The lovers are lured by the bride's uncle, and they are taken back to Potharaju. An enraged Potharaju beats up Maadesha and takes out the Mangalsutra of Aishwarya to forcibly get her married to a person she was engaged to earlier.
After a few years, Aishwarya while travelling with her husband and her child, comes across Maadesha; she finds him as a mentally deranged beggar roaming near a traffic signal. Aishwarya faints realizing that the beggar is Maadesha and gets admitted to the nearby hospital. At night she runs from the hospital to the same signal in search of Maadesha and she finds him sitting over there. Aishwarya cries to Maadesha and feels bad that she was responsible for his pathetic situation. Aishwarya's husband also comes to the spot and understands his wife's situation. He admits Maadesha in a mental health centre and also takes care of him.

Reception
[edit | edit source]A critic from Sify wrote that "Brilliant director S. Narayan seems to have lost his magic touch, as his latest film Cheluvina Chittara, a remake of that brilliant Tamil film Kadhal is unimpressive and lacks nativity".[3] A critic from Rediff.com wrote that "Cheluvina Chiththaara will certainly work for the family audience as it is clean and natural, but its success will depend on how the audience accepts the last few reels of the film".[4]
Box-office
[edit | edit source]It completed 175 days and grossed an approximately ₹30 crore.[1] After the success of this film, Ganesh earned the moniker 'Golden Star'.[5]
