Plot
Yuvakudu is the story of a free spirited college student Siva (Sumanth) who shares a very close bond with his mother (Jayasudha). He is the son of an army officer killed in the line of duty. Despite his mother's disapproval, Siva secretly harbours a strong desire of following in his father's footsteps and joining the army. Meanwhile, he falls in love with Sindhu (Bhumika Chawla), but she does not reciprocate his love. She rejects his proposal, and the relationship takes a sour tone. Siva's mother, aware of her son's love for Sindhu, tries to bring them together. She meets Sindhu, who takes an instant liking for her. She eventually asks Sindhu to marry her son. Sindhu accepts the proposal, saying that she is doing so only for Siva's mother. Despite a rocky start, their marriage finally settles down, and Sindhu grows to love Siva. However, the story takes an unexpected turn when Siva gets recruited into the army. He joins the army against his mother's wishes, thereby causing a rift. Siva eventually proves himself in the line of duty and reconciles with his mother and Sindhu.
