Milana (2007)
Milana is a romantic drama directed by Prakash and starring Puneeth Rajkumar and Pooja Gandhi. A complicated love story, the film begins with Akash who is due to marry Anjali. However, life takes a drastic turn here when Anjali demands a divorce from Akash who calmly agrees to grant her the same.

Puneeth’s performance in Milana is undoubtedly one of the best.
