Magadheera (lit. 'Great Warrior') is a 2009 Indian Telugu-language epic romantic fantasy action film co-written and directed by S. S. Rajamouli, based on a story by V. Vijayendra Prasad and with dialogues by M. Rathnam. Produced by Allu Aravind under Geetha Arts, the film stars Ram Charan, Kajal Aggarwal, Dev Gill and Srihari. The film follows a street-bike racer who discovers his connection to a 17th-century warrior through reincarnation and sets out to rescue his lover from a vengeful adversary tied to their past lives.
Made on a budget of ₹35–44 crore, Magadheera was the most expensive Telugu film at the time of its release. The film's principal photography commenced on 19 March 2008. The film's soundtrack and background score were composed by M. M. Keeravani, with cinematography by K. K. Senthil Kumar. Action sequences were choreographed by Peter Hein and the duo Ram–Lakshman. Notably, it was the first[citation needed] Telugu film to list a "visual effects producer" in its credits.
Magadheera was released on 31 July 2009 to critical acclaim and commercial success. It became the first Telugu film to enter the 100 crore club, collecting a distributors' share of ₹73.4 crore and grossing ₹150.5 crore during its theatrical run. It became the highest-grossing Telugu film in history at the time. Its 1000-day theatrical run surpassed Chandramukhi (2005) as the longest-running South Indian film. The film won the National Award for Best Choreography and Best Special Effects at the 57th National Film Awards, along with six Filmfare Awards, and nine Nandi Awards. In 2016, it was featured at the Fantastic Fest.
Magadheera was the first Telugu film to be released in the Blu-ray format in India. It was later dubbed into Tamil as Maveeran which earned him fanbase in Tamilnadu and Malayalam as Dheera: The Warrior, both released on 27 May 2011. The Japanese-dubbed version, released in August 2018, became one of the highest-grossing Indian films at the Japanese box office. The film was remade in Odia as Megha Sabarire Asiba Pheri (2010) and in Bengali as Yoddha: The Warrior (2014).
In 1609 CE, in the Aravali Mountains at Bhairavakona, in the aftermath of a fierce battle. Near the edge of a cliff, a dying princess, Mithravindha Devi, pleads with the warrior Kaala Bhairava to confess his love for her. Just as Bhairava begins to express his feelings, she falls, and Bhairava jumps after her, trying to reach her but failing. A Muslim general, Sher Khan retrieves his armour and declares that Bhairava will be reborn to reclaim his lost love.
Four hundred years later, in 2009, Harsha, a street-bike racer, briefly touches the hand of a woman trying to board his auto, triggering strange visions. Curious, he searches for her and unknowingly asks Indira "Indu" about her, not realising she is the same woman. Believing he is stalking her, Indu misleads him and, along with her friends, exploits him for favours. However, after Harsha defends her from harassers, she begins to develop feelings for him.
Indu's father, Pratap Varma, was evicted from their ancestral estate in Rajasthan by Omdev, his late sister’s husband, who had no rightful claim to the property. The man and his son, Raghuveer, murder several lawyers to maintain control of the estate before travelling to Hyderabad to kill Pratap. However, upon seeing Indu, Raghuveer becomes infatuated with her. When his father dismisses his obsession, Raghuveer kills him and manipulates Indu and Pratap into believing he died of natural causes. He subsequently offers them the estate in an attempt to gain their trust.
One night, while attempting to touch a sleeping Indu, Raghuveer experiences visions of a warrior slitting his throat. Seeking answers, he consults a tantric, Ghora, who reveals that in a past life, he was a prince who lusted after Indu and was killed by her lover, a warrior. Meanwhile, Harsha discovers Indu’s deception and pranks her in retaliation, leading them to fall in love. Determined to eliminate his past-life enemy, Raghuveer learns that Harsha is the warrior’s reincarnation. He murders Pratap, frames Harsha, manipulates Indu and takes her away in a helicopter. Harsha fails to stop them and falls into a lake, where he experiences visions of his past life.
