Holi is a 2002 Indian Telugu-language romantic drama film written and directed by SVN Vara Prasad. It stars Uday Kiran and Richa Pallod in the lead roles.
Kiran works at a software firm and lives with his supportive family, including his parents, brother, and sister-in-law, who strongly believe in the idea of love marriage. Inspired by their experiences, Kiran begins to see love marriage as an ideal. Meanwhile, Sandhya, whose full name is Akhilandeswari Sandhya Kumari, joins the same software firm. Kiran quickly falls in love with her and confides in his family, who enthusiastically support his feelings. Encouraged by their advice, he expresses his love to Sandhya during a Holi celebration in her village, Madanapalle. However, Sandhya, who does not believe in love before marriage, rejects his proposal, leading to a rift between them.
As the story unfolds, Sandhya gradually develops feelings for Kiran. Complications arise when her marriage is arranged with someone else. The rest of the narrative follows Kiran's efforts to win her love and overcome the challenges posed by the impending marriage, ultimately leading to their union.
