Nee Sneham (2002)

This evocative romantic drama opens with Madhav (Late Uday Kiran) and Sreenu (Jatin Grewal) playing in a football cup final in Kolkata. Madhav and Sreenu are best friends, football players, and neighbours. Subsequently, their team wins the cup.

In a fateful twist, Madhav gets into an accident and when Sreenu goes all out to save him, he ends up terribly injured. As a consequence, Madhav escapes with minor injuries, but Sreenu's leg is so badly injured that it is amputated. This puts an end to his football career.

Sreenu, recovering from the incident, convinces Madhav not to tell anyone about the cause of Sreenu's accident. He does this to save the two families from drifting apart. Remembering his sacrifice, Madhav works hard and becomes the captain of the team, a post once held by Sreenu.

Once, while visiting Goa for a match, Madhav sees Amrutha (Late Arti Agarwal) and falls in love with her. When Amrutha returns to her house, she finds her grandparents fixing her marriage with an NRI. The marriage breaks apart when the father of the groom gets to know about Madhav's love for Amrutha. Her heartbroken grandfather dies a few days later, and Amrutha holds Madhav responsible for all these incidents and starts hating him.

Madhav tries to change her life by anonymously sending her gifts and money to assist her during difficult times. Amrutha desperately tries to identify had anonymous benefactor, but to no avail.

A few days later, during the festival of Holi, Amrutha mistakenly determines Sreenu to be her well-wishers and proposes marriage to him. Sreenu, not knowing about Madhav's love, agrees to the proposal. Madhav rushes to Sreenu's house, where he realises that the bride is none other than his beloved Amrutha.

Madhav sacrifices his love for his best friend's happiness. He tries to burn the photos of him and Amrutha in Goa, but he is seen by his father. His father gets to know the truth but Madhav convinces him not to tell anyone.

Madhav decides to leave the town so that the marriage goes on smoothly. He fakes a letter asking him to report to Delhi for national football team selection. Sreenu asks him to leave immediately and to fulfill both of their dreams. Madhav, instead of going to Delhi, flies to Mumbai.

Meanwhile, Sreenu's father learns about the photograph and Amrutha is questioned about their relationship. Amrutha realises that it was Madhav, and not Sreenu, who helped her. Sreenu and Amrutha leave for Mumbai. This heart-touching tale of love and friendship ends happily with Amrutha and Madhav getting together and Sreenu walking away with satisfaction.
