Bava Nachadu (Telugu: బావ నచ్చాడు) is a 2001 Tollywood film produced by M. Arjuna Raju on Roja Movies banner, written and directed by K.S. Ravikumar. Starring Nagarjuna Akkineni, Simran and Reema Sen in lead roles and music scored by M. M. Keeravani. The Hindi version of the film is "Naya Ghulam". The film recorded as hit at box-office.
Ajay (Nagarjuna Akkineni) is an adman (director and actor) who has a definite idea about how his future wife should be. He gets married to a village belle Kamakshi (Simran Bagga), handpicked by his mom from her native town Kovvuru. After marriage, Kamakshi meets with a hairline fracture. The entire family of Kamakshi lands up at Ajay's house to take care of Kamakshi. She has a beautiful and greedy sister called Lahari (Reema Sen). During that period Suma (Suman Ranganathan), the regular model of Ajay meets with a fracture and Lahari replaces her as the model opposite Ajay. During that moment, Lahari gets lured by the modeling profession and then falls in love with Ajay. But Ajay does not have any feelings for her. Kamakshi gets well and her family returns to their village. Lahari tells Kamakshi about her desire to marry Ajay. Kamakshi gets mad and returns home to her husband. Meanwhile, Lahari attempts suicide. Kamakshi, being very close to Lahari, promises Lahari that she will get her married to Ajay. The rest of the film is about how Ajay manages to save his marriage without hurting Lahari and how he gets back Kamakshi.
The music was composed by M. M. Keeravani. Music released on SUPREME Audio company.
The film received a mixed reception. Many declared the movie to be an outright drama with little or no logic at all. However, the movie fared well mainly due to the lack of any other quality cinema at that time and also of Simran's glamour and Nagarjuna's popularity.
