Taraka Ramudu is a 1997 Indian Telugu-language romantic drama film directed by R. V. Udayakumar, starring Srikanth and Soundarya. The film was partially reshot and released in Tamil as Velli Nilave (; 1998) with Manivannan and Senthil replacing Kota Srinivasa Rao and Babu Mohan, respectively. Selva dubbed for Srikanth's character in the Tamil version.
The soundtrack was composed by Koti and all lyrics were written by Sirivennela Seetharama Sastry.
Reviewing the Tamil version, D. S. Ramanujam of The Hindu wrote, "Sujatha Udayakumar's old fashioned story has nothing much to enthuse about and the director's screenplay, dialogue (he has also penned the lyrics) and handling give credibility to the main characters, despite the narrative drawbacks".
