== Plot == | |||
After detailing the events in ''[[K.G.F: Chapter 1#Plot|K.G.F: Chapter 1]]'', Anand Ingalagi suffers a [[stroke]] and his son, Vijayendra Ingalagi takes over to narrate the rest of the story. Rocky kills heir apparent Virat and takes over the [[Kolar Gold Fields|K.G.F]], keeping Reena hostage to ensure the cooperation of Guru Pandian, Andrews, Rajendra Desai and Kamal. But Rocky demands to take Reena as his wife, Reena's brother Kamal got enraged and threatens Rocky. This leads Rocky to lose his patience and Kill Kamal. After this, Rocky returns to his mansion (which is really Garuda's mansion) and keep Reena in a big room as his Fiancee. Rocky issues orders to start work in eight hidden mines, While Vanaram, who was captured by Rocky, decided to help him. | |||
Meanwhile, Adheera resurfaces and kills all guards at an outpost. In a ruse to bring Rocky to Adheera, Andrews kills Desai to lure Reena outside K.G.F, and John abducts Reena as per Adheera's order. While trying to save Reena, Adheera shoots Rocky but spares his life, while his men roadblock all gold exports from K.G.F. Meanwhile, Shetty ties up with other subordinates of Andrews across India's western coast and exterminates Rocky's allies with Inayat Khalil's newfound support, but Rocky's aides kill Shetty's associates and recapture the coast. A recuperated Rocky, along with Reena, visits Dubai to deal in gold with Khalil, and also buys [[Kalashnikov rifle|Kalashnikovs]] from him. Rocky and his gang gravely wound Adheera and kill his henchmen with their newly acquired weapons. Exasperated with K.G.F, some [[Union Council of Ministers|central ministers]] had planned a no-confidence motion against the DYSS-supported government to bring Ramika Sen in power, but Rocky's henchmen threaten other ministers against the vote and the motion fails. Rocky also kills Shetty, gaining control over Bombay. Pandian warns Rocky of Sen's rising stature, but he disregards him. | |||
==Production== | In 1981, Ramika Sen wins the Indian general elections and becomes the [[Prime Minister of India|Prime Minister]]. After [[Central Bureau of Investigation|CBI]] officer Kanneganti Raghavan briefs her about the situation in K.G.F, Sen authorises Raghavan to raid Rocky's warehouses. A young Ingalagi is caught spying by Rocky's henchmen, but Rocky is impressed by his integrity. The CBI finds nothing in their raids except for a 400 gram-gold bar. Rocky retrieves it from a police station and singlehandedly destroyed the police station using a [[M2 Browning|M2 Browning machine gun]]. Rocky halts all exports from K.G.F, which strains relations with Khalil, but continues the mining. His aides trace his biological father, a drunkard who abandoned his family, and pays the unaware man to take care of Shanti's newly shifted grave. Reena confesses her feelings to Rocky and they get married. Rocky meets with Sen and hands her a file exposing his involvement in [[money laundering]], but she cannot consider it as almost all her party members are complicit in the corruption. | ||
Still furious after his defeat, Adheera makes his way to K.G.F through a secret passage with Andrews, Daya and John, supported by Khalil's armada. Just as Reena reveals her pregnancy to Rocky, Adheera fatally snipes her. In the ensuing clash, Rocky's army kill Andrews and Daya, while Rocky kills John and chokes Adheera to death. Rocky and his henchmen disrupt Sen's speech at the [[Parliament of India|Parliament]] and kill Pandian (who had staged the attack on Garuda for which Adheera was framed, and informed Adheera of Garuda's attack priorly. He was also the one who showed Adheera the secret passage, goaded Andrews into hiring Rocky, staged the no-confidence motion in Delhi, and persuaded Shetty to join forces with Khalil just to gain Rocky's trust). Sen issues a [[Execution warrant|death warrant]] against Rocky and enforces the [[Indian Army]]. Rocky evacuates K.G.F and leaves on a ship with his cache of gold. Before leaving, Rocky forms a new colony for all K.G.F workers. He signals his whereabouts to the [[Indian Navy|Navy]], but refuses to surrender. Sen issues orders to bomb K.G.F and Rocky's ship, and he drowns in the ocean along with the gold, which stays lost till date. Enthusiased with Rocky's life, a young Ingalagi decides to write a book on Rocky. | |||
In the [[post-credits scene]] three months before Rocky's death, John Booker, an [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]] agent hands over a file consisting of Rocky's crimes in the [[United States|USA]] and 16 other countries between 1978 and 1981, to Ramika Sen. In the present, the peon of 24/News channel finds a final draft of ''K.G.F: Chapter 3''. | |||
