== Plot ==
== Plot ==
Shiva and his accomplices loot {{INRConvert|150|c}} from a rich businessman. Sathya, Shiva's real twin brother, works in the [[realtor|real-estate business]]. Sathya meets Subha, an upright girl, at an estate deal. Subha blackmails Sathya to hand over {{INRConvert|2|l}} or she will complain to the police as the people, who had paid the money for the [[Real estate contract|estate deal]], are actually cheated by the land owner. However, Subha had made Sathya to make a statement of giving the money if she gets cheated in the estate deal. Days pass by, Sathya returns the money to Subha and the people and Subha and Sathya fall for each other.


Shiva is a burglar who loots the huge unaccounted money stocked by filthy-rich businessmen. His lookalike Sathya is a docile kind-hearted youngster who does real estate business in all fair means. Sathya has a love interest, Subha, who is an upright and brave girl.
Meanwhile, the businessman appoints [[Assistant Commissioner|ACP]] Kishore, a no-nonsense corrupt officer, to search for the robber. After a brief investigation, Kishore interrogates Sathya, but gets stopped by [[Deputy Commissioner|DCP]] Sarathkumar and reveals that Sathya lodged a complaint against his fake twin brother Shiva, who has been torturing him and is also behind several robberies. Kishore suspects foul play and believes that Sathya also known as Shiva are the same person with fake twin, which is later revealed to be true. Sathya and his accomplices rob {{INRConvert|120|c}} from another rich businessman by sneaking into the [[police station]] as [[drain cleaner]]s and digging a tunnel to a factory, where the money is hidden.


The police need to nab the burglar. Sathya himself launches a complaint that it is his brother Shiva who does all the crimes. A corrupt [[Assistant Commissioner of Police|ACP]] Kishore suspects that it is the same person who cheats everyone with dual identity which is later revealed to be true. But he does not have the evidence to prove his claim.
The two businessmen become partners and send their henchmen to interrogate Sathya, who defeats them. Subha learns about his real identity and breaks up with him. Kishore tries to expose Sathya by a written complaint from the land owner (who was the one who cheated Sathya, but Sathya had masqueraded as Shiva and had blackmailed him to hand over the money), but to no avail. Sathya reveals his past and his desire for money to Subha, who understands his situation. Sathya tells that he decided to mend his ways for Subha, where she reunites with him. Later, the businessmen kidnap Sathya's accomplices and their families and call Sathya to hand over their money.


Sathya decides to mend his ways on Subha's request after she comes to know about this. Sathya traps Kishore by faking his death and finally succeeds in defeating Kishore. Kishore gets framed by sathya and is sent to prison,Sathya disposes the Illegal stash of money in orphanage which led to the social service.
Sathya disguises himself as Shiva and calls the businessmen, where he saves the accomplices and their families by pretending to burn their money. At the hideout, Kishore finds Sathya, who makes a deal with Kishore to call the businessmen to arrange an attack on him and fake his death in exchange for {{INRConvert|100|c}}. As planned, Sathya fakes his death with Subha and Sarathkumar as the witnesses, where he later double-crosses Kishore in charges of killing Shiva and Kishore gets arrested. Sathya and Subha get married, but Sathya still continues his masquerade as Shiva to rob unaccounted money from corrupt businessmen, without Subha's knowledge.

Kotigobba 2 (transl. One in a crore 2) is a 2016 Indian Kannada-language action film directed by K. S. Ravikumar, who co-wrote the script with T. Sivakumar, and produced by Rockline Venkatesh and M. Babu.[3] It is shot simultaneously in Kannada and Tamil languages, with Tamil version titled Mudinja Ivana Pudi (transl. Catch him if you can). The film stars Sudeepa, alongside Nithya Menen, P. Ravi Shankar, Nassar, Mukesh Tiwari, Sharath Lohitashwa and Prakash Raj. The music was composed by D. Imman, while the cinematography and editing were handled by Raja Rathinam and Praveen Antony. Despite the title, the film is not a sequel to the 2001 film Kotigobba and is a namesake sequel.

The Kannada-Tamil versions of the film was released on 12 August 2016 coinciding with the 2016 Varalakshmi Vrata, where it received positive reviews from critics and became a box office success.[4][5] A sequel titled Kotigobba 3 was released on 2021 in which Sudeepa, Prakash Raj and P. Ravi Shankar reprise their roles from the previous film.

Plot[edit | edit source]

Shiva and his accomplices loot ₹150 crore (US$21 million) from a rich businessman. Sathya, Shiva's real twin brother, works in the real-estate business. Sathya meets Subha, an upright girl, at an estate deal. Subha blackmails Sathya to hand over ₹2 lakh (US$2,800) or she will complain to the police as the people, who had paid the money for the estate deal, are actually cheated by the land owner. However, Subha had made Sathya to make a statement of giving the money if she gets cheated in the estate deal. Days pass by, Sathya returns the money to Subha and the people and Subha and Sathya fall for each other.

Meanwhile, the businessman appoints ACP Kishore, a no-nonsense corrupt officer, to search for the robber. After a brief investigation, Kishore interrogates Sathya, but gets stopped by DCP Sarathkumar and reveals that Sathya lodged a complaint against his fake twin brother Shiva, who has been torturing him and is also behind several robberies. Kishore suspects foul play and believes that Sathya also known as Shiva are the same person with fake twin, which is later revealed to be true. Sathya and his accomplices rob ₹120 crore (US$17 million) from another rich businessman by sneaking into the police station as drain cleaners and digging a tunnel to a factory, where the money is hidden.

The two businessmen become partners and send their henchmen to interrogate Sathya, who defeats them. Subha learns about his real identity and breaks up with him. Kishore tries to expose Sathya by a written complaint from the land owner (who was the one who cheated Sathya, but Sathya had masqueraded as Shiva and had blackmailed him to hand over the money), but to no avail. Sathya reveals his past and his desire for money to Subha, who understands his situation. Sathya tells that he decided to mend his ways for Subha, where she reunites with him. Later, the businessmen kidnap Sathya's accomplices and their families and call Sathya to hand over their money.

Sathya disguises himself as Shiva and calls the businessmen, where he saves the accomplices and their families by pretending to burn their money. At the hideout, Kishore finds Sathya, who makes a deal with Kishore to call the businessmen to arrange an attack on him and fake his death in exchange for ₹100 crore (US$14 million). As planned, Sathya fakes his death with Subha and Sarathkumar as the witnesses, where he later double-crosses Kishore in charges of killing Shiva and Kishore gets arrested. Sathya and Subha get married, but Sathya still continues his masquerade as Shiva to rob unaccounted money from corrupt businessmen, without Subha's knowledge.
