What happens

Aha! Naa Pellanta!! (transl. Yeah! It’s my wedding!!) is a 1987 Indian Telugu-language comedy drama film written and directed by Jandhyala, and produced by D. Ramanaidu under his banner Suresh Productions. The film stars Rajendra Prasad and Rajani while Kota Srinivasa Rao, Nutan Prasad, and Brahmanandam play supporting roles. The film has music composed by Ramesh Naidu. An adaptation of Adivishnu's novel Satyam Gaari Illu (transl. Mr. Satyam's House), the film's title is based on a song from the epic fantasy film Mayabazar (1957). The film released on 27 November 1987. Aha! Naa Pellanta!! is considered one of the best comedy films of all time in Telugu cinema. Kota Srinivasa Rao's character as a miser and his mannerism "Naakenti?" (transl. What's in it for me?) became famous. Brahmanandam's role as 'Ara Gundu' received wide appreciation from both critics and audience and it became his breakthrough role. Made on a budget of ₹16 lakh, the film grossed over ₹5 crore at the box office and became a blockbuster. Producer D. Ramanaidu mentioned that the profits from the film helped him in the establishment of Ramanaidu Studios. The film was remade in Kannada as Challenge Gopalakrishna (1990). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
