Eeswar is a 2002 Telugu film directed by Jayanth C. Paranjee and starring Prabhas and Sridevi Vijaykumar. Siva Krishna and Revathi played supporting roles. It marked the debut Prabhas, brother's son of previous star Krishnam Raju. However, it didn't prove him well enough as a popular hero until the release of his blockbuster Varsham. The film was an average venture at the box-office.
Eeswar (Prabhas) is a motherless child and brat living in Dhoolpet, a slum area in Old City. Eeswar's father (Siva Krishna) manufactures Gudumba (Arrack) with the help of neighborhood people. Eeswar falls in love at first sight when he sees a college going beauty Indu (Sridevi). In the meantime, Eeswar's father marries Sujatha (Revathi), who has been waiting for him for the past 20 years so that she can be a good mother to Eeswar. Eeswar hates his stepmother thinking that his father married her to enjoy worldly pleasures. Meanwhile, Indu's father turns out to be a local MLA (Ashok Kumar) who hates poor. The local MLA sends goons to finish him off Eeswar. What follows next forms the second half of the film.
