''''' Pataas '''''({{translation|Cracker}}) is a 2015 Indian [[Telugu language|Telugu]]-language [[action comedy film]] written and directed by debutant [[Anil Ravipudi]] and produced by [[Nandamuri Kalyan Ram]] under his banner [[N.T.R. Arts]]. It stars Kalyan Ram, [[Shruti Sodhi]], [[Sai Kumar (Telugu actor)|Sai Kumar]] and [[Ashutosh Rana]]. [[Sai Karthik]] composed the film's music.

The film revolves around Kalyan Sinha, a corrupt police officer, who gets himself transferred to Hyderabad, where his estranged father, Murali Krishna, is serving as the [[Director General of Police|DGP]]. Kalyan hates his father and intends to teach him a lesson, and in the process, supports a local [[Member of parliament|MP]] and criminal named GK. With time, realizing some of his actions have gone wrong. Kalyan has a change of heart and decides to stand by his father and help the force take down GK and his allies.

Releasing theatrically on 23 January 2015, ''Pataas'' received positive reviews from critics and turned out to be Kalyan Ram's second most successful film at the box office after ''Athanokkade''. It was remade in [[Tamil language|Tamil]] as ''[[Motta Shiva Ketta Shiva]]'' and in [[Kannada]] as ''[[Pataki (film)|Pataki]]''.

== Plot ==
Kalyan Sinha is a corrupt [[Indian Police Service|IPS]] officer who gets himself transferred to [[Hyderabad]] as [[Assistant Commissioner|ACP]] and misuses his power to gain monetary benefits in unorthodox methods. During this process, he also encourages a local [[Member of parliament|MP]] named GK, who has become a headache to Murali Krishna, the [[Director General|DGP]] of [[Telangana]].

Kalyan happens to be Murali's son, who is angry at the latter as his supposed negligence killed his mother and newborn sister, though Murali actually left his wife in the hospital to save several families in a riot. Unaware of this, Kalyan left Murali and joined an orphanage where he became an IPS officer to seek revenge on his father. During his life in Hyderabad, Kalyan also meets two women: Mahathi, a journalist working for [[TV5 (India)|TV5]] and Kavya, a [[deaf-mute]] philanthropist who works in a coffee shop. He loves Mahathi and expects her to reciprocate the same only to be rejected by her because of his corrupt nature. Kavya is killed by GK's brother Nani when she tries to save a techie from being assaulted by him near [[HITEC City]]. Kalyan considered Kavya as his sister and her death enrages him, so he turns against GK.

GK wants to make Nani a politician while Kalyan challenges GK to save Nani from getting arrested. GK manages to kidnap the techie, but with the help of a transgender, who is the main witness, Kalyan arrests Nani with a [[arrest warrant|non-bailable warrant]]. He also challenges GK to bring Nani out of prison within 3 days. Murali and Kalyan are united, and Kalyan's marriage with Mahathi is approved. On the third day, GK's men kidnap the transgender and Mahathi. Murali, along with his team, go to the spot to save the witness, while Kalyan goes to save Mahathi. Kalyan saves Mahathi, but is very far from Murali, who is killed along with his team and the transgender by GK and his partners. Nani and his friends are released from jail, and Kalyan plans to kill all of them with the help of an old [[Non-Resident Indian|NRI]] turned actor ''Tsunami star'' Subhash.

Kalyan and his team assault one of GK's partners and his son and throw them on a railway track. They die with a fast train passing over them. The other partner and his son are intoxicated, and their car is made to collide with a static truck. Subhash enters the spot, disguised as a taxi driver, and presents himself as a witness to that accident, citing alcohol being the reason behind those two deaths. GK's two key henchmen are killed by transgender people, and police, with the help of Subhash, make media believe that they were killed in a stampede caused by fans of actress [[Tamannaah]] upon learning that she is inaugurating a mall. GK plans to escape to Delhi along with Nani to gain his position as an MP again with high security but is trapped by Ramesh, the head of [[Security police|police security]] who failed to arrest GK in the past in an illegal [[Land acquisition in India|land acquisition dispute]].

They reach the same spot where Murali was killed, and after being severely assaulted by Kalyan, the duo is made to sit in a car on which petrol is poured. The police shoot the car, and the duo dies in a blast. Subhash enters the spot as himself, who tells the media that he visited this place for location-scouting, and the duo died when they smoked in a ''No smoking'' area, triggering an explosion.
