Two plot lines delineating the razor thin margins between high camp aesthetics, 21st century politics and vocals sublime.

***
STATE ROWDY
The Telugu tale of Prithviraj, a poor village cop climbing the ranks only to be canned by the corrupt Superintendent aka Laajmani. Stripped of his badge, Prithviraj re-dubs himself Kalicharan and begins his deadly dance by hijacking a busload of MLAs.

Feat. playback singer S. Janaki aka "The Nightingale of the South." Her unparalled vox modulations spit sparks to split the cuffs off any stuffed shirt.
Multilingual assist by the prolific playback artist
S. P. Balasubrahmanyam.
