2019 Kannada Film

2015 film by Vijaya Prasad

A dreaded gangster called ‘Ghost’, takes hostage of a prison, and an efficient police officer Chengappa is immediately deputed to solve the issue. And thus begins the cat and mouse chase between an intelligent criminal and a ruthless police officer.

A subtle interplay between clashing ideologies: that of traditional religious values versus modern youth drawn towards extremism. Events overtake Subbaiah Sastry, a highly respected vedic and scholar in his prime now scraping out a meagre existence as a corpse carrier. He endures the contempt of his Hyderabad neighbours due to his acceptance of Tiladaanam, a lowly Brahammic rite involving the acceptance of the sins of the dead in exchange for coins and the food of the deceased. His son, Raghuram, has become a terrorist hunted by the police, at odds with his father. A stark contrast is provided between an outdated system and as yet undefined future. - Melbourne International Film Festival
