Aahvanam (English: Invitation) is an acclaimed 1997 Telugu film directed by S. V. Krishna Reddy. It was remade by the same director in Hollywood as Divorce Invitation in 2012. The film was inspired by ANR's old Telugu film Pelli Naati Pramanalu (1959), produced and directed by K. V. Reddy.

Synopsis

The film centers on Ravi Kumar (Meka Srikanth), a man who believes money is the only important thing in life, even more than family ties and affection. Once he goes to a village and plays a drama which results in his marriage with Rajeswari (Ramya Krishnan), a traditional woman from a wealthy family. They live happily for a while until Ravi runs into Sireesha (Heera Rajgopal), an even wealthier unmarried businesswoman. She falls in love with him, and Ravi, focused on her money, lies to her that he is married, but recently divorced. In order to marry Sireesha, Ravi files for divorce, devastating Rajeswari. Unwilling to lose her husband due to his greed, she tries in many different ways to change his mindset. When nothing works, Rajeswari accepts the divorce, but with the condition that her divorce be held as a grand ceremony, just as her marriage. At this event, Ravi realizes the importance and sanctity of marriage and apologizes to his wife.
