Ugadi is a 1997 Telugu romantic film directed by S. V. Krishna Reddy starring himself and Laila in the lead roles.
This film is about a middle class young man winning his lady love despite opposition from the girl's father. Although the film was a box office failure, the music for the film was well received.
A song was shot at Kulu Manali.
A critic from Zamin Ryot wrote, "In his eagerness to direct himself by focusing on the role of the hero he plays, Krishna Reddy complains that he was unable to focus on other characters, the story and the scenes". A critic from Andhra Today noted, "The wishy- washy story and the lackluster performance of the hero disappoints the high expectations of the audience".
