Raja the Great 2017

Lucky [Mehreen Pirzada] is a very protected and pampered daughter of SP Prakash [Prakash Raj], a seasoned police officer whose rigid sense of duty frames every choice around her safety. In a pivotal operation, Prakash [Prakash Raj] kills the brother of a powerful gangster named Devaraj [Vivan Bhatena], setting off a ruthless vendetta. Enraged, Devaraj kidnaps Lucky, and a tense confrontation ensues in which Prakash and his team sacrifice themselves so Lucky can slip away. That brutal moment leaves her scarred, yet it also steels her resolve to survive and fight back.

Lucky flees to Darjeeling and hides at her father’s friend Prasad’s house [Rajendra Prasad], seeking shelter from those who seek to harm her. To shield her from further danger, the police assemble a special undercover unit to guard her, since Lucky refuses to let another officer die for her sake.

Across the city of Darjeeling, Raja [Ravi Teja]—a blind man trained by his head constable mother, Anantha Lakshmi [Radikaa Sarathkumar]—is drawn into the mission. Anantha Lakshmi dreams of seeing her son serve as a police officer and even pleads with IG Viswaraj [Sampath Raj] to include him in the operation, presenting her case with a basket of sweets that hints at her maternal pride. Reluctantly, Viswaraj agrees, deciding that Raja will participate, initially to assist with duties and meals, but soon to prove his worth on the ground. Raja heads to Darjeeling with his best friend Bujji [Srinivasa Reddy] and a small team, and the journey soon intertwines his path with Lucky’s.

When Raja first meets Lucky, he helps lift her from despair and gives her a chance to believe again, using lighthearted tricks and genuine care. He also becomes aware of Prasad’s difficulties and works to address them, softening the edges of her isolation. Lucky, touched by his approach, starts reclaiming hope and begins to imagine a life beyond fear. Yet Devaraj learns of Lucky’s location and orders his goons to close in, forcing Viswaraj and his unit to move fast—perhaps even abroad—to ensure her safety.

Raja urges Lucky not to run again and to stand up to her pursuers, but Viswaraj takes a heavier hand and moves her out of danger. The attack on their convoy is brutal, and Devaraj’s henchmen push hard to finish the job, but Raja steps in and defeats them, rescuing Lucky and her allies from the brink. This victory rekindles Lucky’s confidence in Raja, and she chooses to stay by his side as they fight back against the threat.

The pair journey to Madhira to his uncle’s home, where Lucky faces initial resistance from her relatives who doubt her choices. Raja helps them see her worth and the value of her independence, guiding Lucky toward embracing her own agency and her father’s larger dream of helping underprivileged girls. On Lucky’s birthday, she learns about her father’s noble wish to educate poor girls by adopting them, a revelation that deepens her resolve to honor his legacy.

The pursuit intensifies in a recurring cat-and-mouse game, with Raja outwitting Devaraj’s goons at every turn and gathering crucial evidence against the gangster. Viswaraj finally secures a warrant to bring Devaraj to justice. When the police arrive at Devaraj’s house to arrest him, he injures Raja and taunts him, spurring Anantha Lakshmi to stand up for her son and demand a fair fight. In a decisive clash, Raja defeats Devaraj without killing him, and Viswaraj steps in to involve Raja in ongoing police operations, signaling a future where their combined efforts may keep Lucky safe and ensure that justice endures.
