Chirunavvutho (transl. With a Smile)[1] is a 2000 Indian Telugu-language film directed by G. Ram Prasad from a story written by Trivikram Srinivas. The film stars Venu, Prema, debutante Shaheen and Prakash Raj. The score and soundtrack is composed by Mani Sharma. It was second movie in Venu's career after his first hit Swayamvaram (1999). It turned out to be a super hit at the box-office with critics praising Trivikram Srinivas's writing and Venu's acting.
The film won three Nandi Awards including Best Feature Film. It was later remade into Kannada as Premakke Sai (2001) and in Tamil as Youth (2002). Shaheen reprised her role in both remakes. A few scenes were inspired by the 1997 Italian film Life Is Beautiful.[citation needed] The film was unofficially remade in Hindi as Muskurake Dekh Zara (2010).[2]
