Adavi Ramudu is a 2004 Indian Telugu-language romantic action film which was directed by B. Gopal. Prabhas and Aarti Agarwal played the lead roles. Ramya Krishnan acted in an item number alongside Prabhas. The movie features the love story between a tribal youth and his childhood sweetheart. This was Prabhas' next movie immediately after the success of Varsham. Upon release, it received mostly negative reception from the critics and audience alike and was a disaster at the box-office. The film was later dubbed into Hindi as The Strong Man Badal in 2009.
Plot
In her childhood, Madhu befriends a boy in a village. Her uncle comes and insults the boy for being a tribal. Madhu then tells him to get an education so people will respect him more. 10 years later, the boy Ramu (Prabhas) returns to college, where he meets its most wanted woman Madhu (Aarti Agarwal), who falls in love with him. Later, she reveals in her birthday party that she was the childhood girl who told him to be an educated person. However, Madhu's mother, Tribhuvna (Telangana Shakuntala), insults him and throws him out of her party and house. Tribhuvna is a hot-minded woman who can do whatever she wants by using either mafia or politics. She wants to kill Ramu. What happens then is the rest of the movie.
