Payanam

This film follows the emotional and transformative journey of Chandu, a sincere village boy who moves to the city to pursue his studies with the unwavering support of his hardworking father.

Determined to make his family proud, Chandu’s path takes an unexpected turn when he forms a deep connection with a girl in college.

What begins as a sweet companionship soon grows into a distraction that slowly pulls him away from his goals, creating ripples that affect not just his future — but his entire family.

As Chandu navigates love, responsibility, and the consequences of his choices, the film explores how a single emotional decision can change one’s destiny and demand a price he never anticipated.

Starring Srikanth Nandigama as Chandu, Maneesha Koirala as the girl who reshapes his journey, and Koteshwarrao as Chandu’s devoted father, the film delivers heartfelt performances rooted in realism.

Crafted by Writer & Director Goutham Shaurya Tej, the story gains visual depth through the lens of Cinematographer Aravind Birru, emotional rhythm through the editing of Sri Varkala, and a soulful musical backdrop from Music Director Gopinadh Konda.

A touching portrayal of youth, family, and the weight of choices, this film reminds us that even the smallest turns of the heart can redefine the course of life.
