This beautiful song is from a classic comedy Srivariki Premalekha by Jandhyala. Known as 'Hasya Brahma' Jandhyala is considered to have brought clean humour to Telugu movies and his legacy still leaves on, in the form of 60 movies (most of them comedies) and many brilliant comedy artistes whom he introduced (like Brahmanandam, Suttivelu, Sutti Veerabhadra Rao etc). Even to this day, when a Jandhyala movie comes on TV the entire family sits down and laughs together, which is probably his most enduring legacy! In his own words 'To be able to laugh is a luxury, to make others laugh is an art, and to be unable to laugh is a disease. Jandhyala's movies also had many beautiful songs like this one, composed by Ramesh Naidu and penned beautifully by Veturi! The initial doubts in the mind of a young girl in love, wondering whether the guy she loves would reciprocate his love or not has been beatifully written, put to music and captured!
