Ravanasura 2023

Ravindra (“Ravi”) is a young junior lawyer working under his former girlfriend, Kanaka Mahalakshmi. His work often involves handling cases that don’t go quite as planned, highlighting his somewhat inexperienced but ambitious nature. Ravi’s close friendship with Sekhar, who is the Attorney General of Telangana, further emphasizes his connections within the legal and political circles. The story takes a dark turn when Harika Talwar, the R&D head of Syncox Pharma, approaches Ravi. She asks him to clear her father Vijay Talwar’s name, as he has been falsely accused of being involved in the death of Radhakrishna Chennuri, the FDA chairman.

Eager to impress Harika, Ravi digs into the case and finds that there is no solid evidence tying Vijay to the crime—no DNA or other tangible proof. Even so, Ravi convinces the prosecutor of Vijay’s innocence, which sets off a chain of events culminating in a series of shocking revelations. Meanwhile, ACP Hanumanth Rao [Jayaram] begins his investigation into Radhakrishna’s murder. His team uncovers a pattern in a similar case involving the death of a celebrity. During their inquiries, they come across Goli Pahelwan, a notorious rowdy known for his presence during the celebrity’s death. Pahelwan describes how a man arrived at their house dressed in a way that suggested he was taking measurements for a statue at Madame Tussauds—this man was identified as Saketh, a prosthetic makeup artist.

Hanumanth’s team tracks down Saketh to his home. When Hanumanth attempts to arrest him, Goli Pahelwan intervenes and helps Saketh escape, leading to a violent altercation in which DIG Narasimha Murthy is killed. In a startling twist, it is revealed that Ravi has been disguising himself with prosthetic masks, including one of Pahelwan, to carry out murders. Ravi’s sinister plan includes wearing masks of Sekhar and others to manipulate events and cover his tracks.

The plot thickens as Ravi brutally murders Harika while wearing a prosthetic face of Sekhar, leading to Sekhar’s wrongful arrest. It is disclosed that Ravi’s crime spree is motivated by a desire for revenge: his father, Ramachandra, had been suffering from a neurodegenerative disease caused by unethical pharmaceutical experiments by Syncox Pharma. These experiments, involving human trials on diabetics, had led to widespread dementia among patients and were orchestrated by individuals like Harika, Vijay, and Home Minister Mudi Reddy [Rao Ramesh], who collaborated with Sekhar, Narasimha Murthy, and others to eliminate evidence and witnesses.

These powerful figures had brutally murdered Dr. Shanthi, the doctor treating Ramachandra, to silence her warnings about the drugs’ deadly effects. They also committed heinous acts of rape and murder, attempting to conceal their involvement. Ravi, devastated by these crimes and motivated by a quest for justice, takes on a vigilante role. With Saketh’s help, he begins targeting those responsible for Shanthi’s death, leading to intense confrontations.

In the climax, Ravi manages to eliminate Mudi Reddy at a political event, framing his death on Mudi Reddy’s henchman, Devaraju. Fully aware of the extent of corruption and evil, Ravi finally chooses to live peacefully with his girlfriend, Keerthana, after avenging his family and exposing the conspiracy. His journey from an inexperienced lawyer to a determined avenger highlights themes of justice, corruption, and the dark consequences of unethical scientific experiments, culminating in a gritty and compelling story of crime, deception, and redemption.
