Storyline

Impulsive and aggressive auto-mechanic Ashok always stands up for his family and friends, but his father has banished from the family home. Meanwhile, KK, an expert assassin and aspiring politician, is leading a bloody gang war in the city. When KK's brother carelessly harms Ashok's sister, Ashok beats him so badly he has to be hospitalized. KK vows vengeance; and when he later falls for Anjali --the beautiful dancer who has also captured Ashok's heart-- his reasons for wanting Ashok out of the way double. How will Ashok stand against KK's army of goons, will he ever reconcile with his father, and what malicious plot will KK's mother hatch to insure her son is wed to Anjali?

User Reviews

fast paced, action packed film

My mother tongue isn't the language spoken in the film, nor do i understand the language, but having just watched the non subtitled version of Ashok, i do understand visuals & emotions, & i gotta say, this is one cool, action packed film. Lots of slow-mo fights in the rain, big swords, one decapitation, one broken arm, lots of broken bones. For pure, unadulterated action, you can't go wrong with this film...for a meaningful story with drama, look elsewhere.... I'm just waiting for the subtitled DVD version to come out, so i can know why NTR is kicking the hell out of everyone. Also, for a lead actor so big, he can dance like someone half his weight, & with style.
