Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
Abhilasha (transl. Desire) is a 1983 Indian Telugu-language legal drama film directed by A. Kodandarami Reddy and produced by K. S. Rama Rao. The film stars Chiranjeevi and Radhika while Rao Gopal Rao and Gollapudi Maruti Rao play vital roles and the music is composed by Ilaiyaraaja. An adaptation of Yandamuri Veerendranath's novel of the same name, it revolves around a young lawyer striving to end capital punishment in India, but getting himself entangled in a murder case. The film released theatrically on 11 March 1983 to positive response and was a commercial success. The film was remade in Tamil as Sattathai Thiruthungal (1984). In spite of being an adaptation of a novel, the core plot was observed to be similar to two American films—The Man Who Dared (1946) and Beyond A Reasonable Doubt (1956). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
