Tholi Muddhu (transl. The First Kiss) is a 1993 Indian Telugu-language romance film directed by K. Rushendra Reddy and starring Prashanth and Divya Bharati. The film is a remake of the 1990 Bollywood Super Hit Dil.[1] The soundtrack was composed by Ilaiyaraaja. The film was dubbed into Tamil as Ilam Nenje Vaa and was successful at the box office. This was the last Telugu film of the late actress, Divya Bharti which was posthumously released six months after her death. Unfinished portions were otherwise completed by actress Rambha, who slightly resembled the latter's original body (the credits were otherwise kept as Divya Bharti's name only throughout the film).
