Very different story line which catch holds the interest in first half of the movie and second half is a bit predictive yet interesting. Full of quick and chirpy humour which is quite impressing.
I had a dull feeling about Allu Arjun (the lead actor) until i watched this movie but he proved himself in Arya. Despite his unimpressive look and personality, his performance is very lively and energetic. The heroine is very dull in action unlike the hero.
Overall the movie is quite entertaining. Can watch it multiple times. Its a family entertainer with no vulgar scenes or dialogs. This was actually a turning point to the hero in his career.

Ajay(Siva Balaji),a spoilt brat and son of minister avatharam(Rajan P Dev), falls in love with geetha(Anuradha mehta) and threatens her to accept his love, otherwise, he will jump from the college building and commit suicide. Geetha who was in guilt because of an unknown guy jumping in a sea for her, decides weakly to accept ajay's love so that somebody else again doesn't lose his life for her. At that moment arrives Arya(Allu Arjun), as a new student in college and falls in love with geetha when she was proposing to ajay. Arya proposes to geetha infront of ajay, making the latter frustrated. Arya only wants geetha to feel his love. Ajay tries constantly to remove arya from his path but arya often outshines him with his sharp tongue and smartness. Rest of the film is whether geetha will realise the true love of arya or not.
Being a keralite, I saw arya's malayalam dubbed version and I just liked it. But when, I saw the original telugu version, I fell in love with this film like anything. Story of the film might be straightforward but the script is just unpredictable, where each and every scene gives you a surprise. Sukumar in his directorial debut, itself proves to be a master filmmaker. He presents a cliche love story in a fresh way keeping all the commercial elements intact.
Coming to performances, it was allu arjun show all the way. Despite being his second film, he carries the whole film on his shoulders. He's charming, energetic and stylish throughout. His dance and fights will make you in awe of him. Anu mehta was okay and did her part well. Siva balaji was also very good.
The next highlight of the film is dsp's soundtrack. There are two romantic songs, two western fast songs and two telugu mass songs which are all brilliant whether you hear or see it on screen. His background score was an asset for the film.
But, the film suffers from the biggest and only drawback of the film which is its some unrealistic and illogical scenes. There are many scenes which are unrealistic like
1.The ending where geetha turns into julia roberts in runaway bride (will ajay's father leave her alive after embarrassing them).
2. The notice board of college where anybody can stick any rubbish into it. What the hell was the principal doing?
3. How can men roam around casually in girls hostel including their bedroom? Isn't there a warden or what?
4. In arya's intro scene, a bunch of kids lift a well built adult like arya. How is that possible?
Final verdict :
Arya is the film which made allu arjun what he is today. Though his first film gangotri was a hit, allu was criticized for his looks and acting. But with his second film arya he proved all the critics wrong. Arya is allu arjun's show all over. His dance, fights and performance made him a youth icon. It was allu arjun's first film to be dubbed in malayalam and he became a youth icon there too. You will love arya for sure.
ARYA is one of my favorite "Romance" movie.
What's impressive about this movie is the main character ARYA (Allu Arjun) , the BG Music & the songs, the Dialogue Lines and much more. I have watched the Hindi dubbed version of this movie. The story & the main character are both sweet. I like how they usually (mostly) show the main character as a strong guy who is very clear & dedicated about the "love" thing. That's what i like to see in any movie.

a great movie... the hero arjun has done a great job... the real credit goes to the movie director SUKUMAR... this was his directorial debute and it won him best director award for the yr 2004 south India filmfair awards and nandi awards... the music by DEVI SRI PRASAD is so good. special credits goes to the song 'feel my love'. arjun proved to be a good dancer in the industry...
Coming to the story of the movie... the heroin accepts a proposal when that guy threatens to jump off the college building. hero joins in the same college and its love at first sight for him, he proposes to heroin when she is besides her lover... the next story is all about how the heroin realises and goes back to hero...
a must watch for anyone, it truly deserves a 10. thumbs up for arya...

"Arya" delivers a gripping narrative that seamlessly blends suspense and emotion. The film's meticulous storytelling keeps viewers on the edge of their seats, unraveling a chilling tale of family secrets and betrayal. The characters are compelling, and the performances, particularly from the lead actors, elevate the intensity of each scene. The cinematography skillfully captures the dark atmosphere, enhancing the overall sense of unease. While the plot occasionally takes unexpected turns, the cleverly crafted twists add depth to the storyline. "Bloody Daddy" is a riveting cinematic experience that leaves a lasting impression, showcasing the director's adeptness in creating a suspenseful and emotionally resonant thriller.

Arya is a classic that will happen once in a generation. The coming together of a brand new director, a brand new actor and a great new music director. Such Planetary alignments happen only once in a decade. It is also a case of perfect casting of even the minor roles, such as the villain and even the hangars on of the villain, who sucks you into the story. Its light hearted but at its core it is a love story.
The first song Thadiginathom expresses the vigor and vitality and philosophy of the youth as well as Shakespeare expresses conflict. The dancing is on par with any Broadway show and is elegant.
Allu Arjun is made for the story and the story itself is of the new age cinema. The heroin oozes freshness and is perfect for the role. Its the break out movie for Allu Arjun, Sukumar and Deviprasad. Its a feat for the eyes and ears and recharges your soul. Long Live Sukumar who made it happen.

ARYA's problems start with its poor characters who are poorly constructed, due to which the film feels off-track right from the very beginning. In such types of films, you at least need strong and believable characters, which this film lacks. You have Arya who is framed as the good guy with zero flaws. I am not joking, he is a saint who does nothing wrong and is always the do-gooder. Even his problematic character traits are explained as love. Then you have Ajay who wants to get the girl by all means necessary. He is shown as a bully and a rich spoiled brat with a politician(read criminal) father. Then you have Geetha, the centre of attraction for those two boys. She is dumb and her character has zero nuance. All three of the characters are shown as college students but apparently, they don't know about a little thing called 'consent'.
Sukumar develops a partially interesting drama around these characters but due to the poor writing, it turns into a mess pretty quickly. The initial portions are entertaining, but once the drama gets serious, it quickly turns into an overlong tale of unnecessarily over-stretched scenes, pointless subplots and good albeit uselessly inserted musical numbers.
Also, forget about political correctness, but that's not how love blossoms and works. It's revealed that Arya has been following Geetha since the beginning and annoying her. Had all of this been passed as comedy, I would have understood because I once again reiterate that I am not looking for political correctness, but the film plays those moments as deadly serious. And yet she falls for her in the end. I think that's good because a dumb and indecisive girl like her deserves a person like that.
For me, in such types of films, entertainment is paramount. Alas! This film is neither entertaining nor interesting. I really feel sorry for the people who think this is a must-watch love story.

Arya, when released on May 7 in 2004, was a massive blockbuster at the box office. Reportedly, Stylish star Allu Arjun and Anuradha Mehta starrer collected Rs 30 crore at the worldwide box office and went on to run for over 420 days in 8 centres. The movie still grabs a lot of eyeballs whenever it airs on TV. Right from the star cast to storyline, location, songs and emotions portrayed in the film, Arya had the right blend of all ingredients that helped strike the right chord with the audience. On the film's sixteenth anniversary today here's filling you in on some interesting facts about the film.

Really a great movie. I watched this movie recently as per my friend reference. She told me that should watch this movie. So i watched it and really enjoyed this. This is a masterpiece love story.
The hero Arjun has done a great job. This movie makes me a allu fan. I really like his acting. Arya works for his friend's, Ajay, software company. A pretty girl, Geetha, joins his office and Arya falls in love with her. Arya finally proposes to Geetha and reveals that he did all this so that she could know her bad side. Geetha says that she will accept his love if he confesses his doing to the staff. Arya confesses but geetha proposes to Ajay..The best love hate relationship movie. Everyone must watch this movie.

Watched this movie in Telugu and I am a North Indian. That was the moment I realized that you don't always to need to know ones language to understand what they are trying to convey.Good acting by the cast and the music is fantastic.

The best movie i have ever seen in my life really loves it a lot . Allu Arjuna delivers a solid performance and anus meh ta looks very beautiful and hot like my dream girl and Siva Balaji and Babloo done a great job in supporting role. A big appreciation for directorial debutante Sukumar. The music of the movie was very good specially the three songs - Feel my love, Aa ante and Ye dill kiss k mane Na Ha Paglia . Aa ante looks good Because of Allu Arjun good dance and beautiful locations. Action scenes were also good specially that train fight. Movie has also very emotional scenes like when Geeta slap Arya in front of all college and scold him and after that Ajay mans beating Aryan very badly and also that last scene when Aryan again confess his love for gee ta on her marriage and after that when Aryan leaves the marriage with teary eyes.But in the end finally Arya and gee ta reunite. Allu looks very good in Aryan movie. Overall a best movie of my life with good songs, romance , action, emotions and some comedy. The best thing i like about movie was its background score and specially that tone which Aryan sing for on his mouth organ - Feel my love tone. My rating is 10 0ut of 10 for this Pl Bollywood make the remake of this movie in Hindi and take me as a lead star of Arya role
