Rakshana (transl. Indemnity) is a 1993 Telugu-language action film written and directed by Uppalapati Narayana Rao. It was produced by Venkat Akkineni under Annapurna Studios. It stars Nagarjuna and Shobhana, with music composed M. M. Keeravani. Upon release the film received widely positive reviews and remained a box office hit.[1] Regarded as one of the top cop movies in Telugu, it was subsequently dubbed in Tamil and released as Kaaval Thurai.
Assistant commissioner of police Bose (Nagarjuna) gets transferred from Visakhapatnam and takes charge of Hyderabad in his relentless fight to apprehend crime lord brothers Chinna (Salim Ghouse), and Nalla Seenu (Kota Srinivasa Rao) who is also a prominent politician. Chinna kills Bose's friend through his political influence, when the latter and Bose apprehend Chinna for interrogation. Eventually, Chinna kidnaps Bose's daughter. How Bose saves his daughter and banishes the mafia ring forms the rest of the story.
