Overview[]
One of the crime thrillers from the early 80s, the film stars Vishnuvardhan. The convoluted plot begins with family-centered villainy, but then shifts to Bombay to expand into a story of child kidnappers. Police officer Pratap (Dr. Vishnuvardhan) busts the gang. Vishnuvardhan and Thoogudeepa Sreenivas were appreciated for their roles. The movie was recorded as industry hit breaking all the previous records in KFI.
