Set in pre-independent India, Kanche is a periodic love drama directed by Radha Krishna Jagarlamudi aka Krish. Serving the British-Indian army in World War II, Hari Babu hails from a village prevailing with casteism. Back home, he falls in love with a girl from a higher caste whose family is strictly against their relationship. The screenplay switches between two different timelines which show the protagonist’s war-torn life in the present and his love story in the past. Director Krish was lauded for hooking the audience to the screens with the engaging storyline, eye-catchy visuals, hard-hitting dialogues, and the great chemistry between the lead pair. To date, Kanche is regarded as one of the best love stories to be made in Telugu and was a path-breaking film for Varun Tej.
