Swagatam (English: Welcome) is a 2008 Telugu film produced by Adityaram on Adityaram Movies banner, directed by Dasarath. Starring Jagapati Babu, Anushka Shetty and Bhumika Chawla in lead roles and music composed by R. P. Patnaik.
Shot in New York City, Rajahmundry and Hampi, it features a romantic triangle. Directed by Dasarath, the film casts Jagapati Babu as the male romantic lead playing opposite Anushka Shetty and Bhumika Chawla. Several weeks after the big-budget film's release, The Times of India declared the movie a box office "let down".
Shailu (Anushka Shetty) is a married, ill-tempered businesswoman living in the United States, trying to care for her mother and young nephew and manage her bills. KK (Jagapati Babu), who with his young daughter opens a shop across the street from hers, helps her find a new perspective on her life. Shailu falls in love with KK, but when she declares her feelings for him learns that he already has a wife, Vidya (Bhumika Chawla). In flashback, the film relates the romance of KK and Vidya. In the past, KK was himself an abrasive businessman when he sought a mate at Jalaja Rao Marriage Bureau. Instead, he winds up courting and marrying Vidya, an employee. KK's dilemma is simplified by the fact that one of the women in his life is dying from chronic leukemia.
Music composed by R. P. Patnaik. All songs are hit tracks. Music released on ADITYA Music Company.
The film has got quite some similarities with the Hindi film, Kal Ho Na Ho. starring Shah Rukh Khan, Preity Zinta and Saif Ali Khan. A hard working, depressed girl settled in New York, supporting her mother and a child independently. A business that's not doing well. Hero coming to her rescue. A life devouring disease, etc.
