A. K. 47 (1999 film)

A. K. 47 is an Indian action film directed by Om Prakash Rao and produced by Ramu.

[5][6] In the opening scene, Raam (Ramu in Telugu) is taken into custody by Mumbai police and is given third-degree treatment, insisting that he provide information about some terrorist activities.

Following this, Raam is subject to a trial in the magistrate court, which orders preventive detention, alleging that he was responsible for them.

He, along with his sister, Gayatri, were brought up in a strict and disciplined manner by their father, Jagannath, who worked as the regional bank manager.

Jagannath wanted his children to become good citizens of the country, with little regard to what they intended to do as they grew up.

During an auspicious event the next day, the injured hooligan, along with his superior and other local goondas, storm into Raam's house and threaten him and his entire family.

Raam's father, Jagannath, literally begs the goondas to forgive his son as he never wanted any trouble.

A daring and very courageous police officer, Sinha vowed to clean the city of crimes so the citizens can sleep peacefully.

Kickstarting this campaign by attacking and killing the terrorists who were hiding in one of the largest buildings, he then catches one of the men of an internationally wanted notorious don, Dawood and greatly disturbed the illegal business he was conducting.

After learning about the incident, he took the shopkeepers in custody and warned Raam not to take the law into his own hands and inform the police next time.

He then realized that the new city didn't necessarily bring any changes in his son's attitude and criticized him for not being able to control his anger.

As the movie progresses, it is revealed that Arun and Imran are, in fact, agents of Dawood deployed to assassinate Yashwant Sinha.

As Yashwant Sinha was returning home after his work, the criminal duo triggered the bomb, killing him instantly.

The Police force, while inspecting the crime scene, were dragged to Raam's home by their elite Dog squad.

While fleeing away, the bombers dropped the bag which contained the bombing equipment into the water tank of Raam's house.

A fierce argument broke out during which the officer slaps Raam's father, humiliating him for giving birth to a criminal.

From an island away from Mumbai city, Raam then calls police headquarters and asks for a ransom of Rs.

Dawood, now aware of the trick played on him becomes furious, and orders his men, equipped with AK-47 rifles, to attack.

The Police officers, having now realized Raam's innocence in Yashwant Sinha's case, appreciate him for his help in eliminating Dawood.

In his speech, Raam states that the AK-47 rifles wielded by the terrorists are an example of defensive weapons being in the hands of the wrong people.

He says that the Russian inventor, Mikhail Kalashnikov invented AK-47 not to destroy the nations but to eliminate traitors and terrorists.

The Police officer who slapped Raam's father earlier apologizes and asks him to be proud of his son.

Director Omprakash says he was inspired to make this film by some interviews with A. Kalashnikov he had read in newspapers who lamented against the usage of the weapon and also the real-life incident of Sanjay Dutt's arrest served as an inspiration for Om who developed the complete script with a writing duo called SR Brothers.

1 Lakh, for which Om cited that it was tough for the crew to receive permission from the government to shoot.

Regarding the Telugu version, a critic from Sify wrote that "Sai Kumar with his baritone voice and quick fire action corners the glory from right out of the seniors like Om Puri, Girish Karnad and Ashish Vidyardhi.

This movie's credit goes to Shivarajkumar, Ramu, Om Prakash Rao, Hamsalekha and writers duo M. S. Ramesh and R. Rajshekhar.
