What happens

Rowdy is a 2014 Indian Telugu-language action drama film written and directed by Ram Gopal Varma. A remake of the director's Hindi film Sarkar (2005), it stars Vishnu Manchu and his father Mohan Babu with Jayasudha and Shanvi Srivastav in important roles. Sai Karthik composed the music for this film, while Satish Mutyala handled the cinematography. The principal photography commenced on 26 December 2013 and ended on 21 February 2014 in 30 working days. It was dubbed into Hindi by the same name. The film also used sync sound and a three camera setup to reduce the work of dubbing and camera angles while in post production. The film released on 4 April 2014 (worldwide) and 3 April 2014 (United States) in over 50 screens. Upon release, the film received positive reviews, with critics praising the narrative and the performances of Mohan Babu, Vishnu Manchu and Jayasudha. The film minted ₹11.13 crore (US$1.2 million) on the first weekend of its release. The film minted a worldwide share of ₹33 crore (US$3.5 million) at the end of the second week of its run, and was declared a box office hit. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
