Aada Paduchu (transl. Sister) is a 1967 Indian Telugu-language drama film, produced and directed by K. Hemambaradhara Rao under the Subhashini Art Pictures banner. It stars N. T. Rama Rao, Krishna Kumari, Sobhan Babu, Vanisri and Chandrakala, with music composed by T. Chalapathi Rao. The film is a remake of the 1952 Tamil movie En Thangai (1952) which was earlier remade in Hindi in 1959 as Chhoti Bahen and in Kannada in 1967 as Onde Balliya Hoogalu.^[1] The film received critical acclaim^[2]^[3] and was recorded as a Super Hit at the box office.

Plot

The film begins in a village where a bourgeoisie, Satyam, lives happily with his siblings Shekar & Sarada. The two elders show ample fondness for their sister, who also adores them, and she nourishes her brothers with sweets for her every birthday. Satyam endears a school teacher, Susheela, who plans to nuptial after Shekar's graduation and Sarada's wedlock. Satyam strives hard for Shekar's civilization, for which he owes his paternal uncle Dharmaiah a loan shark. Although he is cutthroat, his son Sadanandam is good-natured, admires Satyam, and dotes on Sarada. In the town, Shekar neglects his studies by falling for Lalitha, the daughter of a tycoon Rao Bahadur Ranga Rao. Knowing it, Satyam moves to Ranga Rao, who agrees to knit them and aids in fixing an affluent alliance for Sarada with Dr. Ramesh. Satyam mortgages his house at Dharmaiah to cover the costs. Just before, Sarada loses her vision in a mishap, which calls off the wedding and collapses Satyam.

Parallelly, as a glimpse, Sadanandam loves a girl, Hema, when avaricious Dharmaiah slyly splits them. So, Sadanandam migrates to the town and becomes a rickshawala. Following, Satyam unites Shekar & Lalitha, who cannot acclimate to their lifestyle and constantly denounces Sarada. Ergo, a rift arises between the siblings, and Shekar breaks apart into matrilocality. Amidst, Susheela approaches to support Satyam, but he denies it and decides to remain single for Sarada. Besides, Shekar takes the path of vices by Ranga Rao, who dies because of bankruptcy. Thus, repentance kicks off in Shekar & Lalitha and comprehends the virtue of kinship. Meanwhile, misfortunes arise for Satyam; he loses his job, and Dharmaiah seals their property when he proceeds to the town with Sarada, who resides on the pavement. However, Dharmaiah pays for his sins by losing his property in a fire accident.

Eventually, Satyam falls sick, and Sarada rushes for a doctor. Fortuitously, she is acquainted with Ramesh, who detects her but is quiet and walks on with her. By that time, Satyam faints on her quest when Sadanandam secures him, and Ramesh shelters Sarada. He divulges his actuality, proposes to Sarada, which she admits is a boon, and communicates her whereabouts to Susheela. Satyam gets wind of Sarada and retrieves her without Ramesh's knowledge. Today is Sarada's birthday, and she bestows sweets to Satyam & Sadanandam. Now, she sets foot to feed Shekar but falls under a truck. Blessedly passing, Shekar spots her and admits her to the hospital. Here, Shekar begs for mercy from Satyam, being a penitent when all lands therein, including Susheela & Dharmaiah. At this, Ramesh saves Sarada and entreaties her hand, which Satyam does. Moreover, Satyam splices Susheela on Sarada's plea, and remorseful Dharmaiah joins Sadanandam & Hema. Finally, the movie ends happily with Ramesh & Sarada going abroad to recoup her vision.
