==Plot== In Rayalaseema, two rival factions led by Raghupati Rayudu and Chengal Rayudu are constant tussle with each other. The hostility is continued to the following generations as well with their younger brothers Subba Rayudu and Venkatrayudu taking the lead.

Subba Rayudu's son Krishna has studied MBA in the USA. While returning to his home country he happens to meet Sita, a fellow MBA graduate from Visakhapatnam. However, both of them remain indifferent to each other.

Samara Simha Reddy erroneously informs their families that both of them are in love. While their fathers belong to the opposite sides of the warring factions, they decide to back their children despite their initial disinterest. Krishna slowly begins to like Sita, and she too reciprocates her feelings, eventually falling in love.

==Reception== Gudipoodi Srihari of ''The Hindu'' opined that "Expectations from Arun Prasad, the director of the hit film Tammudu, were high. But he disappoints with Prema Sandadi. Moreover, he lets the obscenity seep in. The story line is too weak to hold the audience in its grip".<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://idlebrain.com/movie/archive/mrg-premasandadi.html|title=Another one on Rayalaseema|date=19 October 2001|work=The Hindu|last=Srihari|first=Gudipoodi|access-date=11 June 2022|archive-date=2 May 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220502085454/http://www.idlebrain.com/movie/archive/mrg-premasandadi.html|url-status=live}}</ref> Smriti Kashyap of ''Full Hyderabad'' wrote that "Avoid the flick unless you are a kamikaze and feel particularly suicidal".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://movies.fullhyderabad.com/premasandadi/telugu/premasandadi-movie-reviews-633-2.html|title=Prema Sandadi Review|last=Kashyap|first=Smriti|work=Full Hyderabad|access-date=2022-06-11|archive-date=2021-12-10|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211210094935/https://movies.fullhyderabad.com/premasandadi/telugu/premasandadi-movie-reviews-633-2.html|url-status=live}}</ref> ''Telugu Cinema'' wrote "The first half of the movie is full of vulgar lines and crude situations.
