Balu and Swapna eventually fall in love, but they don't know whether it is true love or just an infatuation.

Their lives go upside down when a photographer clicks them together and publishes it in his newspaper. After that Swapna's father takes her away and Balu is thrown out of the college. The forced separation brings them closer and finally Balu decides to meet Swapna's father. He tells him that he is ready to marry Swapna but only after finishing his engineering. Whether he succeeds in his love forms the rest of the story.

Pankaj impresses in the second half, but it is Roopika who is the scene stealer. She shows her acting prowess in several sequences.

Anant Nag and Sumalatha play their roles perfectly. It's a pity that Sumalatha is seen in lesser number of films these days. She is such a fantastic actress and her talent should be used properly.

Theatre artists Rajendra Karanth and Sundar have done excellent job in the film.

The main attraction of the film is Micky J. Meyers's music. The compositions of the original film has been retained. 'Nijaanaa Neenenaa', 'Sai Sai Chakora' are the best numbers that have been beautifully picturised in Austria by cinematographer Jagadish Wali.

'Cheluvina Chilipili' is a good family oriented film with message for college students.
