The Great Pre-Wedding Show follows Ramesh, a small-town photographer who runs a modest studio in rural Andhra Pradesh. Ramesh is quietly in love with Hema, an employee at the local panchayat office, but neither of them admits their feelings.
Ramesh’s life becomes complicated when a wealthy and influential man, Anand, hires him to shoot an elaborate pre-wedding photo and video session for his upcoming marriage to Soundarya. Ramesh completes the assignment, but the footage goes missing after his assistant accidentally misplaces the memory card. Fearing severe consequences if the powerful groom discovers the loss, Ramesh panics and attempts to cover up the mistake.
In desperation, Ramesh devises various schemes to stall or disrupt the wedding, believing that if the event is postponed or cancelled, no one will ask for the missing pre-wedding material. His plans lead to a series of comedic misadventures, misunderstandings, and chaos within the village.
As the situation spirals out of control, Ramesh begins to confront the emotional and moral consequences of his actions. The tone shifts toward drama as he grapples with guilt, strained relationships, and the impact of his deception on the couple and their families. Meanwhile, his bond with Hema deepens, pushing him to take responsibility for his mistakes.
Ultimately, Ramesh sets out to correct the damage he has caused, seeking forgiveness and a chance at personal redemption. The film blends humor and sentiment as it explores themes of honesty, love, and second chances.
The background score and songs are composed by Suresh Bobbili. [5]
