==Plot== Indu (Manjari Phadnis) is a music loving girl. Her mother is a Malayali, and her father (Vizag Prasad) is Telugu. She has two paternal uncles (Ashok Kumar and Gundu Sudharshan), whose wives are from Chennai and Kolkata, respectively. Thus entire India lives in her family. She is good at speaking Telugu, Malayalam, Bengali and Tamil. She happens to see Chakri (Allari Naresh), who is a good singer but not a professional one. Chakri and Indu fall in love with each other. However, Chakri has a peculiar profession that gets revealed in the middle of the movie. It is to carry the old and disabled on his back for climbing the hill, the abode of a goddess. Eventually, Indu happens to encounter a rich man, Sathyanarayana Reddy (Sarath Babu), who turns her life around. He had a granddaughter by name Sindhu who looks exactly like Indu. Sindhu dies in an acid attack, followed by ragging and hence when he sees the look-alike of his granddaughter in Indu, he follows her. What happens later becomes the rest of the movie.

== Reception == Radhika Rajamani of Rediff.com rated the film 2/5 stars and wrote, "Vishwanath sticks to his usual style of filmmaking. Fans will perhaps relate to Subhapradam, but others, particularly the younger generation, will find the film outdated".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.rediff.com/movies/review/south-review-subhapradam-is-jaded/20100719.htm|title=Subhapradam is jaded|first=Radhika|last=Rajamani|website=Rediff}}</ref> Raghu Chaitanya of ''IBN Live'' wrote, "''Subhapradam'' is clearly a misfit. It is a dream that not only fails to draw the audience to the cinema hall but also manages to put the audience watching it to sleep".<ref>https://www.news18.com/news/india/telugu-review-5-344681.html</ref>
