What happens

Oosaravelli (transl. Chameleon) is a 2011 Indian Telugu-language action thriller film directed by Surender Reddy and produced by B. V. S. N. Prasad under Sri Venkateswara Cine Chitra. It stars N. T. Rama Rao Jr, Tamannaah Bhatia, Prakash Raj and Vidyut Jammwal. The score and soundtrack for the film were composed by Devi Sri Prasad, whilst the cinematography was handled by Rasool Ellore and editing by Gautham Raju. The plot follows Tony (N. T. Rama Rao Jr), a merciless hitman, who falls for Niharika after saving her during a Kashmir terror attack. Discovering she’s engaged to an arms dealer, Tony wages a brutal war against Hyderabad’s underworld to protect her, unaware her forgotten past holds the key to his redemption. Oosaravelli was released worldwide on 6 October 2011 and received mixed reviews from critics. Despite the reception, the film earned ₹15.75 crore on its first day, setting a record for the biggest opening day in Telugu cinema history at the time of its release. During its full theatrical run, the film grossed ₹57 crore and was a commercial success. It was later remade in Bengali as Rocky in 2013. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
