Introduction
"Kaanunna Kalyanam" is a Telugu wedding song from the 2022 period romance Sita Ramam. Sung by Anurag Kulkarni and Sinduri S, composed by Vishal Chandrashekhar with lyrics by the legendary Sirivennela Sitarama Sastry, and released by Sony Music South, the song imagines a wedding the way its lovers would want it — no noise, no show, just two hearts and a bond that never loosens. It plays in the film as Ram and Sita's love moves towards the marriage they dream of. Below you will find the complete Kaanunna Kalyanam lyrics in Telugu, Roman Telugu and English translation, along with the official video, full song details and answers to common questions.
The Song
"Kaanunna Kalyanam" asks a playful question in its very first line — what does the approaching wedding say? — and answers it like a swayamvaram from a fairytale. Sastry's writing strips the big fat Telugu wedding down to its soul: no band is needed, no elders are required, because "manasule kadha" — our hearts are enough. The imagery keeps widening, from dreams that refuse to melt, to a pair the whole world watches, to a knot that has no ending. Vishal Chandrashekhar frames the words in a warm, classical-touched melody carried by Anurag Kulkarni's earnest voice, with Sinduri S adding the bride's-side shimmer in the second half.
The Artists
Anurag Kulkarni is one of Telugu cinema's busiest playback singers, prized for the sincerity he brings to melodic numbers. Sinduri S joins him here, her lines giving the song its wedding-morning brightness. The music is by Vishal Chandrashekhar, whose Sita Ramam score — built on live strings, flutes and period detail — won praise across languages. The lyrics are by Sirivennela Sitarama Sastry, one of the greatest Telugu lyricists of all time, for whom Sita Ramam was among his final works before his passing in 2021 — which makes this gentle wedding song a part of his farewell gift to Telugu cinema.
The Music Video
The official lyrical video of "Kaanunna Kalyanam" was released by Sony Music South ahead of Sita Ramam's theatrical run in August 2022. The film itself, directed by Hanu Raghavapudi, follows Lieutenant Ram (Dulquer Salmaan) and Sita Mahalakshmi (Mrunal Thakur) through a love story that begins with a letter in 1964. The song's wedding imagery mirrors the couple's own hopes, and the lyrical video — presenting Sastry's Telugu lines over stills from the film — has been watched tens of millions of times.

"Kaanunna Kalyanam" was released by Sony Music South, the South Indian arm of Sony Music, which issued the complete Sita Ramam soundtrack in Telugu, Tamil and Malayalam. The official videos are available on the Sony Music South YouTube channel, @SonyMusicSouthOfficial. Streaming the song through the official channel supports the film's team and the label directly.

Kaanunna Kalyanam Lyrics in Telugu
స్వయంవరం మనోహరం
రానున్న వైభోగం ఎటువంటిది
ప్రతి క్షణం మరోవరం
విడువని ముడి ఇది కదా, ముగింపు లేని గాథగా
తారమున పాటుగా, తరగని పాటగా
ప్రతి జత సాక్షిగా, ప్రణయము నేలేగా సదా
కన్నుల్లోని కలలన్నీ కరిగిపోని కలలుగా
కళ్ళముందు పారాడగా
చుట్టూ ఎవరూ ఉండరుగా, కిట్టని చూపుగా
చుట్టాలంటు కొందరుండాలిగా
దిక్కులు ఉన్నాయిగా, గట్టి మేళమంటూ ఉండదా
గుండెలే నీ సందడి చాలదా
పెళ్లి పెద్ద ఎవరు మనకి, మనసులే కదా
అవసరాలే
తగు తరుణం ఇది కదా, మదికిది తెలుసుగా
తదుపరి మరి ఏమిటట, తమరి చొరవట
బిడియమిదేంటి కొత్తగా, తరుణికి తెగువ తగదుగా
పేరుగని పెదవి వెనక, పిలుపు పోల్చుకో సరి మరి
Kaanunna Kalyanam Lyrics in Roman Telugu
Swayamvaram manoharam
Raanunna vaibhogam etuvantidhi
Prathi kshanam marovaram
Viduvani mudi idhi kadha, mugimpu leni gaathaga
Taaramuna paatuga, tharagani paataga
Prathi jatha saakshiga, pranayamu nelega sadha
Kannulloni kalalanni karigiponi kalaluga
Kallamundhu paaradaga
Chuttu evaru undaruga, kittani choopuga
Chuttalantu kondarundaliga
Dikkulu unnaviga, gatti melamantu undada
Gundele nee sandhadi chaladha
Pelli pedda evaru manaki, manasule kadha
Avasarale
Tagu tarunam idi kadha, madhikidi telusuga
Tadhupari mari emitata, tamari choravata
Bidiyamidhi enti kottaga, taruniki teguva tagaduga
Perugani pedavi venaka, pilupu polchuko sari mari
Kaanunna Kalyanam Lyrics in English
A swayamvaram — so enchanting
How grand will the coming splendour be?
Every moment is yet another boon
Is this not a knot that never loosens, like a story with no end?
As long as the moon and stars last, as a song that never fades
With every couple as witness, may love rule forever
All the dreams in these eyes are dreams that never melt
As they come true before my eyes
There is no one around us — as if even a glance is too much
Yet a few must be there, as dear relatives
Aren't the directions themselves present? Won't there be a loud wedding band?
Isn't the celebration of our hearts enough?
Who needs elders for our wedding? Our hearts are enough, aren't they?
That is all we need
This is the right moment, isn't it? The heart knows it
What comes next, then? Is it your shyness?
Why this new hesitation? Boldness does not suit uncertainty
Behind lips that cannot speak, recognise the call — alright then
Kaanunna Kalyanam Lyrics Meaning
"Kaanunna Kalyanam" means "the wedding that is to come", and the song is a daydream of that wedding. Sirivennela Sitarama Sastry imagines a ceremony with none of the usual machinery — no band, no elders, no crowd — because the couple's hearts are celebration enough. Running under the romance is his favourite theme: time. The bond is described as a story without an ending and a song that never fades, which is exactly what Ram and Sita are hoping for in Sita Ramam — and exactly what fate will test. That gentle irony is why the song feels both joyful and wistful at once.
