Sword) is a 2002 Indian Telugu-language action drama film directed by Krishna Vamsi and produced by Sunkara Madhu Murali under Karthikeya Movies.

It features Srikanth, Ravi Teja, Prakash Raj, Sonali Bendre, Sangeetha Krish and Kim Sharma in the prominent roles with music composed by Devi Sri Prasad.

Azar is ordered to return to Hyderabad, meet their contacts who will make all the arrangements, and get Masood released at any cost.

Khaja, who owns a large general store in the old city, threatens to have them arrested by filing a false theft complaint against them if they don't pay the rent by the evening.

Amjed Bhai, a true patriotic secular Indian Muslim and an auto driver who loves his country more than anything in the world, is introduced.

He stops the Muslims in his community from burning down a bus full of Hindu devotees returning from a pilgrimage, protecting them from harm.

The three main protagonists of the film—Koti, Murthy, and Amjed Bhai—eventually meet through Captain, a sincere army officer and a close friend of Radhakrishna.

Through Captain, both Koti and Murthy get to know Radhakrishna, who initially ignores Amjed Bhai, seeing him as just another Muslim, and hates him.

With Amjed Bhai's encouragement, Koti and Murthy eventually get a chance in a film as a hero and director, respectively, after coercing a producer to listen to their story.

Despite knowing everything about Radhakrishna's past, a girl named Pooja, who is also a friend of Captain, Amjed Bhai, and Koti, falls in love with him and confesses her feelings.

In the middle of her confession, Radhakrishna receives a call from his teammate and, to his surprise, hears Azar's voice on the other end.

Azar forces Pooja to wear a bomb jacket and blackmails Radhakrishna to release Masood and Amjed Bhai.

The soundtrack of the movie was composed by Devi Sri Prasad and lyrics were written by Sirivennela Sitaramasastri, Suddala Ashok Teja and Shakti.
