No Animals were Harmed in the Making of this Movie

When you're jobless on weekday afternoons, and you decide to channel-flip, you'll come across Telugu movies dubbed into Hindi with rather strange titles. Indra - The Tiger. Narasimha - the Powerful Man. Meri Jung - One Man Army.
The below-mentioned, Cheetah - the Leopard is in a league of its own.
The movie, needless to say, isn't some wildlife thriller like Jungle (or one of those 80s movies that features a dog, an elephant and a pigeon). Venkatesh is a singer, Venu, whose father wants him to be an IPS officer. By the end of the movie, he becomes both. Like a cheetah who is also a leopard.
Now that you've finished guffawing, I have a question - what is the difference between a cheetah and a leopard?
(Tougher than you think, no?)

"Leopard ke peri peri spots irkardhe. Cheetah ke chinna chinna spots irkardhe. Leopard spots ve rosette cholra."
Easy-peasy.
I was just thinking of Tanay when you asked that question.
We had this long discussion over this question the day we went to the zoo!
But "Cheetah-- the Leopard" is just awesome imagination for a title.
did venu develop a mix of chinna chinna spots and romba romba spots at the end of the movie :D :D lmao
Interestingly, Rishabh and I had a long discussion on this while watching a play at Prithvi.(On the difference between cheetah and leopard i.e. not the Venkatesh starrer, though from your post it seems that 'that' discussion would have been more fun) Wiki reveals cheetah comes from the Genus Acinonyx while leopard from the Genus Panthera.
You should write more often !
:) :)
Fun came! :)
Just to share some more info on Cheetah and leopard - Cheetahs are built differently from leopards, mainly because of their varied hunting grounds and the hunting styles. Cheetah hunts in open grounds, i.e., African Savannas while leopards are more like tigers, extremely shy and bush-hunters.
Cheetah has a tear drop kinda black mark under the eyes and leopard doesn't. Also leopard spots are big round ones with holes in the middle while cheetahs have filled spots. So, there!
