Pelli Sandadi (transl. Wedding euphoria) is a 1996 Indian Telugu-language musical romance film directed by K. Raghavendra Rao. Produced by C. Aswani Dutt and Allu Aravind on Sri Raghavendra Movie Corporation banner, the film stars Srikanth, Ravali, and Deepti Bhatnagar, with music composed by M. M. Keeravani. The film was released on 12 January 1996 and became a major commercial success. Made on a budget of ₹1.25 crore, the film grossed ₹12–15 crore at the box office, making it the second-highest-grossing Telugu film of the year after Ninne Pelladata. Pelli Sandadi received critical acclaim, winning five Nandi Awards and a Filmfare Award. The film's success led to several adaptations, including remakes in Bengali as Biyer Phool (1996), in Hindi as Mere Sapno Ki Rani (1997) and in Tamil as Ninaithen Vandhai (1998). A spiritual sequel, Pelli SandaD, was released in 2021. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
