With the success of “Kgf,” Kannada cinema has opened a floodgate of films that are set in the era just after Indian independence, which is the 1960s and 1970s. “Kgf” has allowed Kannada cinema to flourish and enter the pan-Indian cinema club, where most of the commercial films are released in all the South Indian languages and Hindi. “Kabzaa” comes under that category, and with the advent of action-oriented commercial films, this movie does not stay behind and makes maximum use of the genre. Directed by R. Chandru, the film is all about a man who is on a revenge spree after goons kill someone close to him. Will he be able to exact revenge, or will he die trying?

A quick Google search will reveal that it's the act of unethically living in another person's home without their permission. But should you wish for a visual demonstration, maybe try watching the behind-the-scenes footage of the Kgf films to spot writer-director R Chandru secretly living on Prashanth Neel's sets.
