Hudugaata (transl. Childish) is a 2007 Indian Kannada-language film. It features Ganesh and Rekha Vedavyas in the lead roles. It is based on the 1934 American film It Happened One Night.[1][2]
Plot[edit]
Priya Rao is the daughter of a Bangalore-based business tycoon, S. K. Ananth Rao. She is head-over-heels in love with tennis player Rahul, but Ananth Rao strongly disapproves of their courtship. One night, Priya escapes from her home and hops onto a bus to Kanyakumari to be with Rahul. Meanwhile, Ananth Rao, realizing his daughter has run away, dispatches private detectives to locate her. Aboard the bus, Priya meets Balu Mahendar aka Balu, a loud-mouth journalist who has just secured a job as a sports reporter. He heads to Kanyakumari to interview Rahul and offers to help Priya in exchange for an exclusive story on her. Priya is forced to agree to his demands, as he threatens to let her father know of her whereabouts should she not comply. After both of them happen to miss the bus, Balu and Priya go through various adventures together and find themselves falling in love with one another.
Balu falls for Priya, but knows that financially he is in no shape to do so. Priya also falls for Balu and decides to go with him, but a misunderstanding leads her to believe that Balu was just looking for a story and not her love. She quits where she returns home and agrees to marry Rahul. However, Ananth Rao learns about Balu when he comes to him to take back his money, spent by Balu on Priya on his way to Kanyakumari. He realizes how Balu has taken care of Priya during the trip. Priya misunderstands Balu and believes that he might have arrived for the reward announced by Ananth Rao. Ananth Rao tells Priya that Balu is the right man for her and that he has not arrived for the reward. On the wedding day she realizes that Balu really loves her and then runs away from the marriage hall to Balu with her Ananth Rao's support.
