Indra (2002 film)
Indra is a 2002 Indian Telugu-language action drama film directed by B. Gopal and produced by C. Aswani Dutt under Vyjayanthi Movies banner. The film stars Chiranjeevi in the title role, alongside Aarthi Agarwal, Sonali Bendre, Mukesh Rishi, Sivaji, and Prakash Raj in key roles. The music for the film was composed by Mani Sharma.
The film was released on 24 July 2002. Made on a budget of ₹13 crore, it grossed over ₹55 crore, becoming the highest-grossing Telugu film at the time, and the highest-grossing South-Indian film, surpassing Padayappa (1999). It also became the first South Indian film to gross over ₹50 crore in a single language and was the second highest-grossing Indian film of 2002, after Devdas.
Indra received positive reviews and won several awards, including three Nandi Awards and two Filmfare Awards South. Chiranjeevi received both the Nandi Award for Best Actor and Filmfare Award for Best Actor – Telugu for his performance. The film was dubbed into Hindi as Indra: The Tiger and was remade in Indian Bengali as Dada (2005) and Bangladeshi Bengali as Goriber Dada (2006).
In a village in Rayalaseema, two rival clans led by Bharathasimha Reddy and Veera Siva Reddy, are embroiled in a cycle of violence. A police inspector arranges a marriage between Bharathasimha Reddy's brother, Vijayasimha Reddy, and Siva Reddy's sister to broker peace. However, Siva Reddy's sister poisons Vijayasimha Reddy on their wedding night, leading to both their deaths. Following this betrayal, Siva Reddy and his men kill Bharathasimha Reddy. Siva Reddy is arrested and sentenced to 14 years in prison.
With the male leaders of Bharathasimha's family dead, his son, Indrasena "Indra" Reddy, steps up to lead the clan. In a powerful scene, Indra takes a sword and sits on the throne, symbolising his new role as the clan leader, much to the delight of his paternal grandmother and the rest of the clan.
In 2002, Indra is living in Varanasi under the alias Shankar Narayana, a truthful and honest taxi driver. During a singing competition at his niece's college, her friend Pallavi, the daughter of Uttar Pradesh's governor Chenna Kesava Reddy, falls in love with Shankar and pretends to be an orphan to live at his house. When Chenna Kesava Reddy discovers his daughter's whereabouts, he goes to Shankar's home but changes his mind upon recognizing him as Indrasena Reddy. Instead, he requests Shankar to marry Pallavi, but Shankar refuses due to his responsibilities towards his niece, Nandini.
Giri, an orphaned youth who has become Shankar's right-hand man, confesses his love for Nandini, and Shankar arranges their wedding. However, the wedding is disrupted by Snehalatha Reddy, who reveals that Giri is actually Veera Manohar Reddy, the son of Veera Shankar Reddy, Siva Reddy's elder son. She also addresses Shankar as Indrasena Reddy, shocking his adoptive family. After a confrontation, Valmiki, Indra's trusted associate, narrates Indra's past.
Indra, revered in his village, was dedicated to the welfare of the people. After Siva Reddy's release from prison, Indra warned him to stay away, but Siva Reddy instigated violence, leading Indra to kill him. Snehalatha, Siva Reddy's daughter, fell in love with Indra, but Veera Shankar Reddy sought revenge. Indra saved Veera Shankar Reddy's younger son from an accident, but Veera Shankar Reddy killed his own son to maintain his pride.
