Tholi Muddu (transl. The First Kiss) is a 1993 Indian Telugu-language teen romance film directed and co-written by K. Rushendra Reddy and starring Prashanth and Divya Bharati. The film is a remake of the 1990 Hindi-language film Dil.[1] The soundtrack was composed by Ilaiyaraaja. The film was dubbed into Tamil as Ilam Nenje Vaa.
This was the last Telugu film of actress Divya Bharti, which was posthumously released six months after her death. Due to Divya's death before filming was completed, her remaining scenes were completed by actress Rambha, who slightly resembled Divya (Only Divya was credited in the final film). The film was commercially successful.[2]
