Pelli SandaD is a Telugu movie starring Roshan and Shree Lala in lead roles.

The film begins at Kali Yuga when Sage Bhadra is conducting a massive penance when Vishnu emerges. He invests him to be seated on his head as per his oath on Treta Yuga 's Rama Avatar. Thus, Vishnu transforms into Rama, seating Sita on his lap, with Lakshmana on the left and Shanka & Chakra on either side. After several centuries, Dhammakka, a devout servant, locates the whereabouts of idols in an anthill of Bhadrachalam. She looks after it with profound commitment and prays for an advent to build a temple. The tale shifts to Nelakondapalli, where Kancherla Gopanna falls in love with his cousin Kamala. On the eve of her birthday, Gopanna inadvertently transgresses by caging a parrot as a gift. Agnihotraavadhanlu, Kamal's father, detests their bond because of Gopanna's financial status and fixes a prosperous alliance. Nevertheless, it calls off as astrologers predict jail access is inevitable for the one that splices Kamala. Despite this, Gopanna knits Kamala for which his maternal uncles Madanna & Akkanna, the true-blue ministers of Tanisha of Golkonda attend. They accompany Gopanna, introduce him to the Empire, and he acquires his credence. Thus, he delegates him as Bhadrachalam's Tehsildar, terminating his brother-in-law Matte Saiheb. Forthwith, Gopanna forwards with Kamala when Matte Saiheb begrudges but waits for a shot. Gopanna hinders the crimes & barbarities therein. So, the blackguards back-stab him, whom Dhammakka shields. After revival, he advances for thanksgiving her when witnessing Dhammakka's constant dedication; Goppana switches to an avid follower of Rama. By this, Vishnu walks from Vaikuntha in the form of Rama and steps at Parnasala with Sita & Lakshmana. At which, Anjaneya startles to view them again, and then Rama proclaims it's time for a tremendous accomplishment. Consequently, Gopanna pledges to construct a temple for which he relinquishes his luxuries and resides under a tree with pregnant Kamala until its completion. Gopanna wakes spiritually publicly, collects assets, excluding Tanisha's taxes, and seeks his approval. Anyhow, the plot of Matte Sahib & his men falls short, and they snatch the tax amount. At that time, Kabirdas, whose means of life is Rama's chanting arrives. Spotting his eternal devotion, Gopanna affirms him as his mentor, and he preaches him with Srirama Taraka Mantram. Kabir announces that Rama has already consented to emplacement and fixes an auspicious time. Years roll by, Gopanna triumphs in constructing a sublime temple, and the Lord blesses him with a son, Raghunatha. Kabir lands on the eve of the temple inauguration, but orthodox Brahmins expel him. Yet, with his idolization, Kabir proves his divinity. Tragically, Raghunatha dies while dropping into a well when Anjaneya is in Panchmukhi, recouping him on the mandate of Rama. Then Kabir states that the incident spread that region's holiness. Following this, Anjaneya is enthralled, beholding Rama's glory at the temple and calling Gopanna Ramadasu. Ergo, Kabir publicly nobilitates Gopanna Sri Ramadasu. as the Lord's ordinance in his dream. Meanwhile, the heels tactically forge and accuse him of squandering govt funds and apprehend him. Hereupon, Kabir comprehends he is seeking a penalty for imprisoning the patriot. During the trial, Ramadasu encounters Tanisha lionizing his deed as sacred; as a result, he is behind bars in a secluded prison and subjected to torment. Ramadasu invokes the Lord with reverence, humility, eagerness, and notwithstanding anger, but in vain. Ultimately, he implores Sita, which stirs her, and she pleads with Rama to secure him. Rama & Lakshmana set foot at Golkonda and vanishes, clearing the debt. Tanisha is under a dichotomy when Kabirdas irradiates him with the fact. Therefore, Tanisha learns the eminence of Ramadasu and the foul play of knaves and acquits him. However, Ramadasu collapses due to the absence of Rama's holy appearance. With misery & great difficulty, he reaches Bhadrachalam, associating with Kamala. Now, Ramadasu solicits, and Rama arises by granting salvation, which he denies. At last, Ramadasu asks for a boon to make his soul immortal at his feet in the temple when the Lord bestows it. Finally, the movie ends happily, with Ramadasu's soul blessing the devotees who have been visiting the temple till today.

Annamayya, a great poet, worships Lord Vishnu and shows his devotion through his works. He depends on the deity to guide him at every step of his life and get him out of trouble.
