The film was simultaneously made in Telugu with the same name, starring Saikumar, with most of the cast and crew (except Saikumar) retained from the Kannada version. This film was remade in Hindi with the same title starring Kannada actor Aditya in his acting debut. The movie is said to be the first Kannada movie to collect 2 crores (gross) in the first week of its release. It went become cult classic of all time This was the first movie to use DTS (sound system) in Kannada film industry. Plot In the opening scene, Raam is taken into custody by Mumbai police and is given third-degree treatment, insisting on providing information about some terrorist activities. Following this, Raam is subject to a trial in the magistrate court, which orders preventive detention, alleging that he was responsible for them. Disappointed, Raam, now arrested, sits alone and recollects how he ended up landing on his terrible fate. Ram was a college student, excellent in both studies and extracurricular activities. He, along with his sister, Gayatri, was brought up in a strict and disciplined manner by their father, Jagannath, who worked as the regional bank manager. Their mother had a soft and loving nature. Jagannath wanted his children to become good citizens of the country, with little regard for what they intended to do as they grew up. One day, when Raam was on his way to the college, he saw a local hooligan (a goonda) harassing his fellow college mate by coloring him without his consent (because of the Holi festival). Raam questions him about his misbehavior, only to be treated the same way. Enraged, Raam physically fights the hooligan and his partners. During an auspicious event the next day, the injured hooligan, along with his superior and other local goondas, storms into Raam's house and threatens him and his entire family. Raam's father, Jagannath, literally begs the goondas to forgive his son as he never wanted any trouble. After some arguments, the goondas warned them to steer clear of their paths for good, and left the house. Raam's father criticized him for his behavior for it brought shame to the entire family.

Notable quotes

“A village is the last damned place to RON: to remain overnight in. There would be Vietnamese all around us. Old mamasan might come with an AK-47 to show us whose hooch we were really in, with a VC battalion behind her.”
— William Calley, Lieutenant Calley: His Own Story (1971) with John Sack, p. 55
“I'm proud of my invention, but I'm sad that it is used by terrorists. … I would prefer to have invented a machine that people could use and that would help farmers with their work — for example a lawnmower.”
— Mikhail Kalashnikov, designer of the AK-47, as quoted in "Kalashnikov: 'I wish I'd made a lawnmower'" by Kate Connolly, in The Guardian (29 July 2002)
“In a stroke of irony, the world's most advanced and destructive weapon, the atom bomb, led the way for the low-tech AK.”
— Larry Kanaher, AK-47: The Weapon That Changed The Face Of War (2006), p. 5
“Much mythology has accrued around the AK, mainly on account of Hollywood representations. If you dig deeper, however, you find that it is no more powerful than many other assault rifles and is not particularly accurate. What it dies deliver, in spades, is awesome reliability, total ease of use and maintenance, and vast distribution across the world.”
— Chris McNab, "AK-47/AKM (1949)", Small Arms: The World's Greatest Small Arms From the Age of Automatic Weapons (2022), London: Amber Books, hardcover, p. 118
“I do not believe in taking away the right of the citizen to own guns for sporting, hunting and so forth, or for home defense. But I do believe that an AK-47, a machine gun, is not a sporting weapon.”
— Former President Ronald Reagan on February 6, 1989 when asked his opinion on gun control after the January 17, 1989 Cleveland Elementary School shooting that killed five schoolchildren in Stockton ().
“AK-47 is the tool. Don't make me act the motherfucking fool.”
— Ice Cube, "Straight Outta Compton", from the eponymous album (1988).
