Swagatam (transl. Welcome) is a 2008 Telugu-language romance film and directed by Dasarath. It stars Jagapati Babu, Anushka Shetty and Bhumika Chawla with Arjun Sarja in a special role. The music was composed by R. P. Patnaik.
Shot in New York City, Rajahmundry and Hampi, it features a romantic triangle.[1] Directed by Dasarath, the film casts Jagapati Babu as the male romantic lead playing opposite Anushka Shetty and Bhumika Chawla. Several weeks after its release, The Times of India declared the movie a box office "let down".[2] The film has got quite some similarities with the Hindi film, Kal Ho Na Ho: a hard working, depressed girl settled in New York,[3] supporting her mother and a child independently and a business that's not doing well. The film was dubbed in Tamil as America to Aminjaikarai in 2013.[4]
