Padamati Sandhya Ragam
1987
Padamati Sandhya Ragam[a] (Telugu: Paḍamaṭi Sandhyārāgaṁ; transl. Evening Raga of the West [b]) is a 1987 Telugu-language romantic comedy film directed and written by Jandhyala. It stars Thomas Jane and Vijayashanti as Chris, a white American man and Sandhya, a young Indian woman respectively who fall in love after her family immigrates to America. Indian drummer Sivamani plays a major role as Ronald, a black American drummer who also falls in love with her.
The producers, Americans Gummaluri Sastry and Meer Abdulla, started developing the film after meeting Indian filmmaker Jandhyala and musician S. P. Balasubrahmanyam. It was designed as an American-Indian co-production, with residents of both countries represented in the cast and crew. The soundtrack was written by Balasubrahmanyam, Sadasiva Brahmendra, Annamacharya, and Veturi. Despite its low budget, shooting took place across the United States and some scenes were shot in India as well.
Padamati Sandhya Ragam was well received by audiences in India and won the Filmfare Award for Best Film – Telugu in 1987 as well as Jandhyala the Nandi Award for Best Story Writer the same year. It has since gained some retrospective attention for its representation of the Indian diaspora.
