Vijayadasami is a 2007 Indian Telugu-language action film directed by V. Samudra. A remake of the 2005 Tamil film Sivakasi, it stars Kalyan Ram Nandamuri, Vedhika and Sai Kumar. Vedhika made her Telugu cinema debut with this film, while Srikanth Deva also composed the soundtrack for Sivakasi that was reused in this film, however the background score of the film also reused from Sivakasi, which was composed by his father Deva.
The film was released on 21 September 2007, receiving negative reviews from critics.[2][3] It was a commercial failure, and Kalyan Ram himself was not satisfied with the film's execution by Samudra. The film had an international DVD release on 25 April 2008.[4] During a Facebook live session in 2018, Kalyan Ram said he regretted doing this film because he was not confident about it but had to take it in spite of demanding changes that weren't made.[5]
