Santosham (transl. Happiness) is a 2002 Indian Telugu-language comedy drama film directed by Dasaradh who co-wrote the film with Gopimohan and Trivikram Srinivas. It stars K. Viswanath, Nagarjuna Akkineni and Shriya Saran in lead roles, with Prabhu Deva playing supporting role. The music was composed by R. P. Patnaik. The film won two Nandi Awards and two Filmfare Awards South.
Released on 9 May 2002, the film was well received by critics and was declared a Blockbuster at the box office. It became the highest grossing film in Nagarjuna's career and was one of the highest grossing films of the year. It was a welcome break for Nagarjuna from consecutive flops he suffered since 2000. It was dubbed in Tamil as Santhosha Vanille and in Hindi as Pehli Naazar ka Pehla Pyaar. The film was remade in Bengali as Bandhan (2004) and in Kannada as Ugadi (2007).
