Pournami ( పౌర్ణమి) is a 2006 Telugu language film directed by choreographer-turned director Prabhu Deva. It stars Prabhas, Trisha Krishnan, Charmy Kaur, Rahul Dev, and Sindhu Tolani. The movie was released with a lot of hype because of Prabhas and Krishnan's earlier hit, Varsham. However, despite the huge cast, the film flopped miserably at the box office, mostly due to the release of the movie Pokiri starring Mahesh babu and Ileana.

Plot

Long ago, there was a great drought that befell a village. A dancer from a very traditional family came forth to dance in the Shiva temple for many days and nights. Her dedication to Lord Shiva and the village earn her the respect of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvathi. They blessed the village with rains and the drought ceased to exist. But the dancer's dying wish is that a girl from her family must dance on pournami (full moon night) every 12 years in front of Lord Shiva temple.
This brings us to present day - another 12th year when the dance will take place. Pournami (Trisha Krishnan), the oldest daughter of the traditional family has gone missing. Rumors of her eloping are rampant among the villagers, much to her father's chagrin. Pournami's little sister Chandrakala (Charmy Kaur) never learned the dance and her father refused to teach her (after Pournami disappears).
Chandrakala's stepmother rules the house with an iron fist and has rented out the extra room of their house to earn some extra money - who should take the room but Shiva Keshava (Prabhas), a Western-style dance instructor!
The film follows Chandrakala and Shiva's growing relationship, as they navigate family connections, a lecherous zamindar (Rahul Dev), and preparing for the next Pournami Festival.

At the same time that the two meet, Sailaja catches the eye of antagonist Bhadranna (Gopichand) who also becomes infatuated with Sailaja. Venkat and Sailaja meet in Warangal again and believe that they are meant for each other because it rains every time they meet. Ranga Rao (Prakash Raj), Shailaja's dad, is a typical black sheep with all kinds of bad habits. In the process, he is ready to marry off his daughter to Bhadranna for money. Ranga Rao plants certain ego problems in the minds of Venkat and Sailaja in order to break them up. This causes Venkat to leave Warangal for Vizag. And Sailaja prepares to become an actress (her father convinces her). Later on, Bhadranna kidnaps Sailaja.
