Ramani Kalyanam, the Telugu romantic drama written, directed, and produced by Vijay Adireddy, began streaming on Sun NXT and ETV Win on June 12, 2026. The film stars Surya Vashistta and Deepshikha Chandran as two people navigating physical disability and emotional loss who find connection at a wedding celebration that changes both their lives.
The story follows Raj, played by Vashistta, a man who has been wheelchair-bound since a devastating accident, and Sanjana, played by Chandran, a visually impaired woman who works as a singer and radio jockey. They meet during a wedding where an initial companionship gradually deepens into something neither expected. Adireddy’s screenplay avoids the sentimentality that typically defines disability narratives in Indian cinema, instead building the romance through small acts of understanding and shared vulnerability.
Ramani Kalyanam had its theatrical release on May 22, 2026, and its transition to streaming after a limited run suggests the film is better positioned for the OTT audience that gravitates toward character-driven stories. The supporting cast includes Srinivasa Reddy, Chaitu Jonnalagadda, Shyamala, and Prabhavathi, each contributing to the world Adireddy constructs around the central couple.
Sooraj S Kurup composed the film’s music, and his score has been noted for reinforcing the emotional beats without overwhelming them. The songs operate as extensions of the characters’ inner states rather than standalone set pieces, a choice that fits the film’s restrained approach to a subject that lends itself to excess. Adireddy wears three hats on the production as writer, director, and producer, maintaining a level of creative control that is uncommon in Telugu commercial cinema.
The film’s arrival on Sun NXT and ETV Win places it alongside a crowded field of OTT releases this week. Amazon Prime Video premiered several South Indian titles on the same date, while Netflix launched Rana Naidu Season 2 and SonyLIV dropped Gullak Season 5. For Telugu audiences specifically, Ramani Kalyanam offers a quieter alternative to the spectacle-driven releases dominating the landscape, and its focus on emotional storytelling may find the audience it missed in its brief theatrical window.
Disability representation in Telugu cinema has historically been limited to either inspirational arcs or comic relief, and Ramani Kalyanam positions itself as neither. By centering its romance on two people whose disabilities are facts of their daily existence rather than dramatic devices, the film attempts something that the Telugu industry rarely undertakes with this degree of sincerity. Whether streaming audiences connect with Adireddy’s vision will determine if this kind of storytelling earns a sustainable space in the market.
