Wanting you) is a 2017 Indian Telugu-language romantic comedy drama film directed by debutant Shiva Nirvana from a screenplay written by Kona Venkat.

One and a half years earlier in Vizag, Pallavi was a student aspiring to record a dance performance to show her family post-marriage.

Lacking natural talent, she seeks help from Uma Maheswara Rao, a young statistics student and orphan, who agrees for a large fee as he needs the money.

He agrees but later reconsiders after seeing Pallavi’s father, Chandramouli, lecture a boy about the responsibilities of marriage, emphasizing how important it is to be well-educated and settled in life.

Over the next few months, Pallavi ignores Uma’s attempts to contact her and eventually marries Arun after her family arranges the match.

Back in San Francisco, Pallavi tells Arun about her encounter and suggests inviting Uma to stay with them for 10 days to prove her happiness.

Chandramouli, suspecting Pallavi’s happiness, had come to find her former lover after learning from her friend Kavitha about her past relationship.

Later, a Hyderabad-Mumbai based production company, Aditya Movies bought the Hindi dubbing rights of the film.

Sowmya Shruthi of The Times of India rated three out of five and wrote "Ninnu Kori is an entertainer with lots of drama and emotion with just the right amount of laughter thrown in," while adding that "Nani, Aadhi and Nivetha breathe life in their characters and you can't think of anybody else playing those roles with such ease and conviction.

"Ninnu Kori is a character-driven film and Shiva Nirvana invests plenty of time in developing each of the characters who have to deal with their share of pain and turbulence in their lives", Kumar stated.

He also added that "[the film] drives home the notion that love is transient and that in pursuit of happiness, you learn to move on from your past.

"[8] Priyanka Sundar of The Indian Express rated two stars out of five, by writing "Shiva Nirvana has presented a love story which initially looked refreshing, but as minutes pass by, the film is too much of stretch with a few laughs thrown in.

"[9] Ninnu Kori was remade in Tamil as Thalli Pogathey in 2021 by R. Kannan starring Atharvaa, Anupama Parameswaran and Amitash Pradhan.
