'Jyothi' is a 1976 Telugu-language film directed by K. Raghavendra Rao. It is based on the story of an innocent girl "Jyothi." Jayasudha won the Filmfare Award for Best Actress Telugu for her titular performance. She later credited the film's success for making her a famous actress in Telugu films. It is inspired by the Hindi film 'Mili' (1975).[http://www.rediff.com/movies/2000/may/13jaya.htm rediff.com, Movies: The Jayasudha interview] though the storyline is completely different from the original except for the heroine suffering from a deadly disease.
