Wiki.
Oopiri (transl. Breath) | Thozha (transl. Friend) is a 2016 Indian comedy-drama film directed by Vamshi Paidipally, and produced by PVP Cinema. The film stars Nagarjuna, Karthi and Tamannaah Bhatia while Prakash Raj, Sreenivas Sayee, Nikkita Anil, Gabriella Demetriades, Ali, Vivek, Jayasudha, Kalpana and Tanikella Bharani play supporting roles. Karthi debuts in Telugu cinema through this film. The film focuses on the lives of Vikramaditya, a quadriplegic billionaire, and Seenu, his ex-convict caretaker. Their realisation of the primacy of life and relationships over money and disability forms the major part of its story.
A remake of Éric Toledano and Olivier Nakache's French film The Intouchables (2011), the film was simultaneously shot in Telugu and Tamil. The remake rights for The Intouchables were earlier acquired by Karan Johar and Guneet Monga in May 2014, who authorised PVP Cinema to produce the adaptation of this film in regional languages, postponing their previous plans; thus making Oopiri its first remake. Principal photography began in March 2015 and ended by February 2016 taking place in Chennai, Hyderabad, Paris, Belgrade and Novi Sad. Gopi Sundar composed the film's soundtrack and score, and P. S. Vinod handled the cinematography. Madhu and Praveen K. L. edited the Telugu and Tamil versions, respectively.
Produced on a budget of ₹500–600 million, Oopiri and Thozha were released globally on 25 March 2016. Both received critical acclaim for the performances of the principal cast(particularly Nagarjuna and Karthi), the cinematography, and Paidipally's work in adapting the original. They were commercially successful, grossing over ₹1.6 billion. The film received two wins at the 64th Filmfare Awards South, with Best Director (Telugu) for Paidipally and Best Cinematography for P. S. Vinod. Paidipally also received a win for Best Director Award at the 6th South Indian International Movie Awards. The film is considered one of the "25 Greatest Telugu Films Of The Decade" by Film Companion.
