On the occasion of Valentine’s Day, Siddharth’s iconic love story Oy! was re-released in theatres and was welcomed with a thunderous response from fans of the 2009 film.

About Siddharth’s Oy!

Oy! is a 2009 released Telugu language film that starred Siddharth and Shamlee in the lead roles and was written and directed by Anand Ranga. During its initial release, the film failed to pull in audiences to the theatres and ended up as an underwhelming film commercially. However, over the years the film has managed to garner a fanbase of its own, and after a lot of requests, and even some mild threats from the audience, Oy! was finally re-released for Valentine’s Day.
