Cracker) is a 2015 Indian Telugu-language action comedy film written and directed by debutant Anil Ravipudi and produced by Nandamuri Kalyan Ram under his banner N.T.R.

The film revolves around Kalyan Sinha, a corrupt police officer, who gets himself transferred to Hyderabad, where his estranged father, Murali Krishna, is serving as the DGP.

Kalyan hates his father and intends to teach him a lesson, and in the process, supports a local MP and criminal named GK.

Releasing theatrically on 23 January 2015, Pataas received positive reviews from critics and turned out to be Kalyan Ram's second most successful film at the box office after Athanokkade.

Kalyan Sinha is a corrupt IPS officer who gets himself transferred to Hyderabad as ACP and misuses his power to gain monetary benefits in unorthodox methods.

Nani and his friends are released from jail, and Kalyan plans to kill all of them with the help of an old NRI turned actor Tsunami star Subhash.

Subhash enters the spot, disguised as a taxi driver, and presents himself as a witness to that accident, citing drunk being the reason behind those two deaths.
