Did Telugu ever make classy love stories sans skin show or vulgarity like Tamil movie 96?

 There are many telugu movies that have classic love stories but writing about few of them,

I can remember

This movie created lot of hype when it was announced that National Film Award for Best Child Artist for her amazing performance in Mani Ratnam's "Anjali" in 1990, is reportedly set to make her comeback to the entertainment industry.

But it turned to be total flop , even though all of its songs were super duper hit. It was a classic love story with out any vulgarity.

Yes the movie is “OY’

Another classic love story is Godavari. Most part of the movie is shot in a boat. The entire love story happens during the boat journey in the river Godavari.

Anand - This movie was a new beginning for the telugu movie era. completely different screen play at those times.

perfect love story to watch for over the week end. There was zero vulgarity and exposing but still Kamalinee Mukherjee could attract lot of fan following those days.

This is the tale of two college going student who don't realize the love for each other until they separated. Perfect story for Y2k audience. The movie name is “Nuvve Kavali”

I will keep adding more classic love stories. if you want to see more .

If Lord Murugan is the "Tamil God," do the Telugus, Malayalis, or Kannadigas have their own unique regional god as well?

 Kannada has a regional goddess, she is Bhuvaneshwari Devi.

She is considered to be a form of Parvathi Devi.

Bhuvaneshwari Devi is considered as mother Kannada, she is referred to as Kannada taayi Bhuvaneshwari. In Kannada, taayi means mother.

And this concept exists right from the time of first Kannada empire, Kadambas.

The idea of a temple dedicated to Bhuvaneshwari Devi was conceived by the Kadambas first.

We cannot find her mention during Chalukyas and Rashtrakutas era.

But, it was Vijayanagara rulers who carried forward the legacy.

They built Bhuvaneshwari temple at Hampi, next to the Virupaksha temple, the presiding deity of Vijayanagara empire.

It is the belief the Bhuvaneshwari took the avatar to help revive a Kannada kingdom. She is believed to have helped Hari Raya and Bukka Raya (founders) to establish the new kingdom.

Virupaksha and Bhuvaneshwari temple, Hampi.

Mysore Wodeyars too who were influenced by Vijayanagara rulers built a Bhuvaneshwari temple inside Mysore palace premises.

Bhuvaneshwari Temple, Mysore palace.

This was the idea that was adopted during the fight for the unification of Karnataka movement.

Even now, see any Kannada/Karnataka flag, the devi in that flag is Bhuvaneshwari.

We Kannadigas believe she will protect Kannada language, people and the region forever.

Even the Kannada flag was designed based on turmeric and kunkuma colours which are used for devi worship.

That’s the reason for yellow and red colours in Kannada flag.

You can find Bhuvaneshwari photo in every Kannada flag, be it auto stand or a Kannada sangha.

Apart from Bhuvaneshwari Devi, many Kannadigas consider Anjaneya also as Kannada God as he was born in Karnataka.

As per Ramayana, Hanuman was born in Kishkinda, that is modern Hampi in Karnataka.
