Story:

Puri Jagannadh is the director and Parvathamma Rajkumar is the producer of the 2002 Indian Kannada-language romantic action movie Appu, which is distributed by Poornima Enterprises. In addition to Avinash Yelandur, Srinivasa Murthy, and Sumithra, the film features debutants Puneeth Rajkumar and Rakshita.  K. Datthu and S. Manohar were responsible for the cinematography and editing, while Gurukiran composed the soundtrack.

After being launched on April 26, 2002, Appu played in theaters for 200 days.  The public began to refer him Puneeth Rajkumar as “Appu” as a result of this movie. After Anuraga Aralithu, the movie became the second Kannada film to be remade in Bengali in both India and Bangladesh. It was adapted in Telugu in 2002 as Idiot, Tamil in 2003 as Dum, Bengali in 2006 as Hero, and Bangladeshi Bengali in 2008 as Priya Amar Priya.  After School Master and Anuraga Aralithu, it was the third Kannada film to be remade in four languages.

The carefree Appu is the son of head constable Venkata Swamy. Appu should pass the IPS tests and become an inspector, according to Venkata Swamy. A girl named Suchitra, often known as “Suchi,” saves Appu one night after he gets beat up by a rival gang while playing carrom with his buddies. She donates her blood and covers his medical expenses. By the time Appu regains consciousness, she has left the hospital. After hearing about Suchi from his pals, Appu develops feelings for her. Suchi later turns out to be the daughter of Rajashekhar, the city commissioner. Appu meets Suchi in the college and proposes to her.

Suchi complains to Rajshekhar about Appu after he teases her when she rejects his proposal. Rajshekhar then brings Appu to the police station, where he is severely beaten until Venkata Swamy and SI Sudarshan come to his aid. As his desire to woo Suchi over grows stronger, Appu pops the question to her, who subsequently agrees. When Rajshekhar learns about their relationship, he sends goons to beat Appu. After learning of this, Suchi rushes to assist him but is involved in an accident.

After being admitted to the same hospital, Appu and Suchi become friends. When Rajshekhar sets up her marriage to someone else, she vehemently objects and makes an attempt at suicide. Rajshekhar still wants to marry Suchi to a man of his choosing, so he hires goons to assassinate Appu after he comes and saves her. After escaping all the problems, Appu meets with the DGP to request assistance in getting married to Suchi. In the end, the DGP organizes Appu’s wedding at the police station and suspends Rajshekhar. Following this, Appu eventually passes the IPS examinations with flying colors.
