Student No.1 is a 2001 Telugu coming of age musical film starring Jr NTR and Gajala. This was the debut of Tollywood director S.S. Rajamouli. This film turned out to be a hit for both the actor and the director as well. It is considered to be the breakthrough of Jr. NTR and fetched him many accolades. Student No.1 sent the director and actor to the big league. The film was dubbed in Hindi as Aaj Ka Mujrim. It was remade in Odia in 2008 as Mate Ta Love Helare and in Tamil under the same title.
Aditya (NTR Jr.) joins a law college in Vizag as a student. The college is notorious for its unruly students headed by Satya (Rajiv Kanakala). Aditya is shown as a mysterious young man, and throughout the first half there are flashbacks to his story. He makes the unruly students mend their ways. In the interval, we come to know that Aditya is a criminal facing murder charges, and is serving his life term in Vizag central jail. He attends the college with the special permission of the jail authorities.
Aditya lives in Hyderabad with his parents. He has finished his intermediate studies (10th grade plus 2). He wants to pursue engineering, but his father wants him to study law. This presents a tension between them, leading to a confrontation. Meanwhile, Aditya unintentionally murders a goon while saving a girl from getting raped. Aditya's father disowns him as his son and Aditya surrenders at a police station.
The rest of the film is how Aditya wins the heart of his father with the law degree he earns.
The film was released with 40 prints.
The music was composed by M. M. Keeravani and released by Aditya Music. All songs are hits.
