Kapatadhaari was originally made in Kannada as Kavaludaari. The makers have attempted the film’s remake in Telugu with Sumanth in the lead. Let’s check out whether the remake did justice to the original film or not.
What is it about?
Traffic SI Gautam (Sumanth) and retired police inspector Ranjan (Nasser) are on a mission to crack the mysterious case of 1977 where an officer Ranga Rao of the archaeological department is killed and looted 90 lakhs worth ancient property. The case was closed with lack of evidence. Sincere police officer Ranjith couldn’t crack the case either. Gautam, who is interested in the crime department, gets suspicious about this case when the dis-articulated bones of three dead bodies were found randomly during metro-line construction. Gautam gets help in the form of Crime journalist GK (Jayaprakash). Where does the investigation of Gautam, Ranjith and GK lead to? What are the hurdles they come across? Where the buck stops? What is the connection of Ranga Rao’s (Satish) death to Aluri Srinivasa Rao aka Fernandez (Sampath Maitreya).
