The film's title is based on a song from Missamma (1955). Raavoyi Chandamama was not commercially successful.[3] [4]
The film is loosely based on the 1957 American film An Affair to Remember which in turn was a remake of 1939 movie Love Affair. The American film was also remade in Hindi as Mann which released in the same year. Raavoyi Chandamama was dubbed and released in Hindi as Sanam Tere Hain Hum and in Tamil as Shankar.[5]
The film begins in U. S. where Sasi, a famous Indian pop singer, is on the move conducting his music concerts. Meghana, a US-educated girl, stays with his uncle V.K. Sonty's family. The two already have fiancés Sujit & Rukmini, respectively, and are enthusiastically looking forward to their arrival in India. Once, Sasi & Meghana acquainted in a rave when she misconstrues him as a tomcat.
After a series of donnybrook, they cruise in Leo Star from Singapore to Vizag. Accordingly, the tail forwards funnily. Over time, Meghana becomes aware of Sasi's goodness, and she befriends him. In between, Sasi halts at Andaman, accompanying Meghana to meet his grandmother and spend a wonderful time with her. After reboarding the cruise, the pair cannot stop the inevitable thing that feels like it may be love and proposes. At that point, Sasi explains to Meghana that they are faltering and that the fondness might generated out of infatuation. Hence, he bid them to hold on for 90 days without contact. At closing time, if they sense the same as today, they will meet at the lighthouse of Vizag port.
Now, the cruise reaches the coast, where Sasi & Rukmini warmly welcome them. The twosome attempts to hang out with their fiancés but fails. Consequently, days fly, and the turtle doves experience the same endearment. Just before a day, Sasi is conscious of his ailing grandmother. So, he proceeds to Andaman, writing an apology letter to Rukmini affirming his love story and her insight into the situation. On the 90th day, Meghana is waiting for Sasi at the lighthouse. Since the time is running out, Sasi rushes from Andaman, taking the blessings of his grandmother. Unfortunately, he meets with an accident and fails to land. Thus, Meghana, with woe, accepts Sujit's misinterpreting Sasi as not loving her. Soon after recovery, Sasi calls Meghana and hears about her nuptial, which he also wrongs. On the wedding day, Sasi attends with Rukmini, through whom Meghana learns the actuality. Forthwith, Sasi sings a song as a word of honor given to Meghana when they suppress themselves. At last, Sujit discerns it, makes everyone realize the eminence of love, and unites them. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the marriage of Sasi & Meghana.

Idlebrain wrote "First half of this film is decent. But the second half is unbearable. Director seems to have lost grip on the film in the second half and tried to wind it up by rushing to the climax at a brisk pace and made the viewer feel clue less and uncomfortable". Deccan Herald wrote "It`s surprising how directors take viewers for fools. In Ravoyee... the director has done just that. In fact he deserves a pat on the back for his ability to take viewers for a ride".[6] [7]
