Chandee, also spelled as Chandi, is a 2013 Indian Telugu film directed by V. Samudra starring Priyamani, R. Sarathkumar, Ashish Vidhyarthi and Krishnam Raju in the lead roles, and Ali and MS Narayana as key comedians.
The film was formally launched on 31 January 2013, with principal photography commencing on 30 October 2012. Filming took place over eight months, primarily across Hyderabad, Rajamundry and Bangkok, Thailand. The film was originally scheduled for release in the first week of October 2013, but was postponed due to political unrest in Andhra Pradesh and finally released on 8 November 2013. It is loosely based on the Hollywood movie The Long Kiss Goodnight, and was remade in Bhojpuri in 2015 as Durga starring Rani Chaterjee and in Bangladesh in 2016 as Rokto starring Pori Moni.
