Chilakamma Cheppindi (lit.'What the parrot said') is a 1977 Telugu language drama film written and directed by Eranki Sharma. The film won the state Nandi Award for Best Feature Film. The film was a remake of Malayalam film Adimakal. The film starred Rajinikanth in his first lead role. The film was later remade into Tamil as Nizhal Nijamagiradhu by K. Balachander with Kamal Haasan in the lead role.[1] The film was premiered at the 1978 International Film Festival of India.[2][3]

Plot

Ravi (Rajinikanth), an executive arrives in a small town in Andhra Pradesh on a temporary assignment. His friend Madhu (Lakshmikanth) helps him find accommodation opposite his own house. Ravi is a cocksure character who immediately rubs Madhu's sister Bharati (Sangeetha), a dance teacher, the wrong way with his brash behaviour. Bharati hates men because of a past incident. Malli (Sripriya) is the domestic help in Madhu's house. Madhu seduces and impregnates her, but denies paternity. In parallel, Ravi tries to tame the shrewish Bharati. Eventually, Malli's problems are all solved with Ravi's help and Bharati too responds to his advances.[4]
