Prema Parva is a 1983 Indian Kannada-language romantic drama film directed by S. Siddalingaiah starring his son Murali and Bhavya in their lead film debut. [2]
Murali's entry into films was debated at home, but his mother encouraged his father to direct his debut film. While shooting in Malleshwaram, Bengaluru, a bystander yelled "Yeno kariya, neenu act madtiya" (What dark fellow, are you acting?). [3] Although it was Murali's first film that he shot for, Geluvina Hejje (1982) was released first. [4]
The soundtrack was composed by Rajan–Nagendra. [5]

The film was a box office failure shattering Siddalingaiah's hopes. [6] [7] Despite this, the film was remade in Tamil as Poovilangu (1984) and in Hindi as Jeena Marna Tere Sang (1992).
