What happens
Khaidi (transl. Prisoner) is a 1983 Indian Telugu-language action drama film directed by A. Kodandarami Reddy, who co-wrote the script with the Paruchuri brothers. The film stars Chiranjeevi and Madhavi in lead roles. Released on 28 October 1983, Khaidi became a major commercial success and marked a turning point in Chiranjeevi's career, establishing him as a leading star in Telugu cinema. The film's popularity led to remakes in other languages. In 1984, it was remade in Hindi as Qaidi and in Kannada under the same title, with Madhavi reprising her role in both versions. This movie is inspired by American film First Blood (1982). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
