Production

The shooting of Brindavanam was launched on August 16, 2009. A huge set of a palatial bungalow was erected in Hyderabad for the movie. This was the biggest set for any Telugu film to date. The film also had to be delayed because one of the senior actors Kota Srinivasa Rao lost his son in an accident, and could not attend the shoot. Also the lead actor Jr. NTR met with an accident shooting for a fight scene, and the shoot had to be stalled for several more days.

Plot

Krishna, alias Krish (Jr. NTR), is the son of a millionaire (Mukesh Rishi) in Hyderabad. He wastes time by singing love marriages among his friends. He too has a love interest in Indu (Samantha Ruth), who has a friend Bhoomi (Kajal). The twist is that Bhoomi’s father (Prakash Raj) wants to get her married to her cousin (Ajay), which Bhoomi doesn’t like. Naturally, she bluffs to the family that she has already fallen in love with a guy. Indu helps her by renting Krish as her would-be, just to let her escape the wedding situation for the time being. Going to the village of her pretending lover, Krish successfully solves the rivalry between the girl’s dad and his brother (Srihari). Impressed with the talent of Krish, Bhoomi’s dad accepts her love and declares them as would-be-couple. A surprise twist is revealed that Indu is daughter of Srihari i.e., Indu and Bhoomi are in fact cousin sisters.

At last Bhoomi also falls in love with Krish. Krish has a positive approach towards both girls and the final question of who Krish will marry is left to the audience.
