Sye (2004): cast, story & where to watch

Released in 2004, Sye is an action and drama film directed by S. S. Rajamouli, running about 167 minutes. “A Challenge” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. The story is set in the backdrop of a college that is riven by two groups led by Prithvi and Shashank. Though there is nothing malicious between the groups, they just can't see eye to eye on anything. The only thing common between the two are their abiding passion for rugby. Whenever a problem crops between the two, it is usually settled with a bitter scrum on the rugby field. As it happens, the college land falls into the hands of a local dadha Bikshu Yadav. This is good enough reason for the two groups to forge a common identity and fight for the land. Prithvi and Shashank bury the hatchet and get back the land. This is too much of a bitter pill for the dadha to swallow. And so he dares the students for a rugby match with his own group.

Who’s in it. Sye stars Nithiin as Prithvi, Genelia D'Souza as Indu, Pradeep Ram Singh Rawat as Bhikshu Yadav and Shashank as Shashank, among others.
