What happens

Tagore is a 2003 Indian Telugu-language vigilante action film directed by V. V. Vinayak. The film stars Chiranjeevi, Shriya, and Jyothika, with Prakash Raj and Sayaji Shinde in pivotal supporting roles. The film features music by Mani Sharma and cinematography by Chota K. Naidu. Tagore is a remake of the 2002 Tamil film Ramanaa, with significant changes made to suit Chiranjeevi's stardom and the local context. Tagore had a wide release, rivaling Bollywood's major films of the time. Upon release, it received positive reviews, particularly for its narration, Chiranjeevi's performance, and its impactful crowd scenes. The film became a significant commercial success, breaking several box-office records, and went on to become the second highest-grossing Telugu film of its time, surpassed only by Indra (2002), another Chiranjeevi starrer. It collected a distributor's share of ₹28.45 crore and became the second Telugu film to surpass ₹50 crore at the box office. The song "Nenu Saitham," written by Suddala Ashok Teja, won the National Film Award for Best Lyrics. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
