Pournami is a 2006 Telugu language film directed by choreographer-turned director Prabhu Deva. It stars Trisha Krishnan, Prabhas, 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. The film has been dubbed into Tamil as Pournami and in Hindi as Tridev - Pyaar Ki Jung. This film is based on the 2001 film Behind the Sun starring Rodrigo Santoro. Long ago, a great drought befell a village. A dancer from a 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 Parvati. They bless the village with rains ending the drought. The dancer's dying wish was that a girl from her family must dance on pournami 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 , the elder daughter of the family goes missing.
