Khadgam
Khadgam (transl. Sword) is a 2002 Indian Telugu-language action drama film directed by Krishna Vamsi and produced by Sunkara Madhu Murali under Karthikeya Movies. It features Srikanth, Ravi Teja, Prakash Raj, Sonali Bendre, Sangeetha Krish and Kim Sharma in the prominent roles with music composed by Devi Sri Prasad.
Released on 29 November 2002, the film was a blockbuster. The film won five Nandi Awards and three Filmfare Awards. The film is remade in Hindi as Insan (2005).
The film then shifts to Hyderabad, where Koti, an aspiring actor who dreams of becoming a hero in the film industry but never gets a chance, is kicked out of various film studios. His friend Murthy, who also dreams of becoming a director but faces similar struggles, stands by him. Temporarily, Koti works as a junior artist, and Murthy works as an assistant director, but they are both facing a financial crisis. They haven't been able to pay the rent on their house for six months. The house owner, M.S. Khaja, who owns a large general store in the old city, threatens to have them arrested by filing a false theft complaint against them if they don't pay the rent by the evening. He tells them that they won't have to worry about rent in jail. Frightened, Koti and Murthy seek help from Amjed Bhai.
Amjed Bhai, a true patriotic secular Indian Muslim and an auto driver who loves his country more than anything in the world, is introduced. He stops the Muslims in his community from burning down a bus full of Hindu devotees returning from a pilgrimage, protecting them from harm. He sees Koti as a brother and encourages him, telling him that he will become a big hero in the film industry. Amjed Bhai manages to fool M.S. Khaja and save Koti and Murthy. Amjed Bhai is in love with Zubeda, who is M.S. Khaja's daughter. He lives with his mother alone in the old city; he once had a brother who died in religious riots, leaving them grief-stricken.
A.C.P. Radhakrishna, a sincere and tough police officer, is introduced as an Islamophobe who believes that all Muslims are terrorists. He harbors an intense hatred toward them and has only one goal in life: to catch and kill Azar Khan. It is revealed that Radhakrishna's lover, whom he was about to marry, was killed by Azar Khan in a terrorist attack in Kashmir. When he learns that Azar has come to Hyderabad, he makes it his mission to catch or kill him.
The three main protagonists of the film—Koti, Murthy, and Amjed Bhai—eventually meet through Captain, a sincere army officer and a close friend of Radhakrishna. Captain's wife is a Muslim, and they both married with the help of Amjed Bhai. Captain learns about Koti's aspirations and encourages him to pursue his acting career. Through Captain, both Koti and Murthy get to know Radhakrishna, who initially ignores Amjed Bhai, seeing him as just another Muslim, and hates him.
As time passes, Koti experiences a love failure and becomes a drunkard. Amjed Bhai confronts him, urging him to forget his failed romance and focus on his career. With Amjed Bhai's encouragement, Koti and Murthy eventually get a chance in a film as a hero and director, respectively, after coercing a producer to listen to their story. The producer likes it and agrees to make the film. The film's success turns Koti into a star hero and Murthy into a star director.
Captain has to leave for an emergency operation, leaving his pregnant wife in the care of Amjed Bhai and Radhakrishna. Captain advises Radhakrishna not to judge Amjed Bhai like any other Muslim, insisting that he is different, but Radhakrishna remains skeptical. During Captain's absence, Radhakrishna expands his team to search for Azar Khan in the city. It is revealed that Azar Khan is actually Amjed Bhai's younger brother, who they believed had died in the riots. Azar tells his mother and Amjed Bhai to keep his identity a secret, warning them that he will be killed if others find out. Although reluctant at first, they agree to keep his secret.
