Padamati Sandhya Ragam (Telugu: Paḍamaṭi Sandhyārāgaṁ; transl. Evening raga of the West) is a 1987 Telugu-language romantic comedy film written and directed by Jandhyala. The film features Vijayashanti as Sandhya, a young Indian woman, and Thomas Jane as Chris, a White American man, who fall in love after Sandhya's family immigrates to the United States.
The film was produced by Indian Americans Gummaluri Sastry and Meer Abdulla, who initiated the project after meeting Jandhyala and musician S. P. Balasubrahmanyam. Padamati Sandhya Ragam was conceived as an American-Indian co-production, featuring a cast and crew from both countries. The music, composed by S. P. Balasubrahmanyam, includes lyrics by Sadasiva Brahmendra, Annamacharya, and Veturi. Despite its modest budget, the film was shot across various locations in the United States, with additional scenes filmed in India.
Upon release, Padamati Sandhya Ragam was well received by Indian audiences and won the Filmfare Award for Best Telugu Film, as well as the Nandi Award for Best Story Writer for Jandhyala. The film has gained retrospective recognition for its portrayal of the Indian diaspora.
