Prema Parva is a 1983 Indian Kannada-language romantic drama film directed by S. Siddalingaiah starring his son Murali and Bhavya in their film debut.^[2]

The film was a box office success.^[3] Although the film was successful, it was not as successful as Siddalingaiah hoped it would be and shattered his hope.^[4] The film was remade in Tamil as Poovilangu (1984), which catapulted Murali to stardom in Tamil cinema. The 1992 Hindi movie Jeena Marna Tere Sang was loosely based on Prema Parva.
