Intlo Srimathi Veedhilo Kumari is a 2004 Telugu comedy-drama film directed by K. Vasu. It stars Aarti Chhabria, Srikanth and Prabhu Deva in the lead roles. A remake of Priyadarshan's 2003 Hindi film Hungama, which itself borrowed its story from the director's Poochakkoru Mookkuthi (1984), Intlo Srimathi Veedhilo Kumari opened to mixed reviews in August 2004.
Release
Jeevi of Idlebrain.com gave the film a mixed review, citing "the first half is average and second half is a letdown" and "the main drawback of the film is the mistiming of comedy". He added "comedy films do not work out when the comedy timing in those films goes amiss". Another critic from MyMazaa.com stated "on the evidence of this film, the director lacks the skill to handle such subjects with finesse" and added "there is a thin line dividing comedy and confusion and that he lets the film slip into the latter stream".
The film did not perform well at the box office, and post-release, Srikanth stated he did the film for "emotional reasons" and signed the film on the belief that Allu Aravind had a good stature in the industry.
