Reign) is a 2010 Indian Telugu-language political action drama film written and directed by Deva Katta.

The film stars Sharwanand, Sai Kumar, Sundeep Kishan (in his career acting debut) and Ruby Parihar.

The film received generally positive response upon release with praise for Sai Kumar's performance.

While Mitra is a devoted and loving stepson to Loki, his stepdaughter, Valli, hates him for marrying their mother and severs ties with them.

That same night, in the intoxication of drugs, Chinna rapes Hameed Basha's daughter, Nadia, and injures her.

Chinna's friends convince him to leave the spot, because even if they admit Nadia to the hospital, a police case will be filed due to the extent of her injuries.

Mitra confronts Loki and tells him that no amount of reading puranas will absolve him of his heinous character.

Loki then tells him to go beyond the puranas, as there are no villains or heroes, but rather ordinary people committing sins to fulfill their goals.

Mitra tells Loki that he still loves him but does not hate enough to kill him, and he requests that he end this game by himself for the sake of his mother, who became depressed and lost hope in life by losing her children.

A movie-buff argues that the central theme revolves around the quote from the Book of Exodus, Old Testament, –"The sins of the fathers shall be visited upon the children.

Despite fierce competition from other big budget films, like Simha and Darling, it did modestly well at the box office.
