Ugramm

It stars Sriimurali and Hariprriya in the lead roles, supported by Tilak Shekar, Atul Kulkarni, Avinash and Jai Jagadish. Bhuvan Gowda serves as the main cinematographer with Ravi Varman as a guest cinematographer, marking his debut in Kannada cinema.

Ugramm completed a run of 125 days in some theatres in Karnataka. A sequel titled Ugramm Veeram was announced by Sriimurali in July 2014, but it was shelved off. It was remade in Odia as Agastya. The 2023 film Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire , which is also directed by Neel, has been noted by many critics for being heavily influenced by this film.

However, Prabhakar rejects the offer. Enraged by the rejection, Shivarudra Lingaiah kills Prabhakar’s wife and also threatenes to kill his infant daughter Nithya.

As a result, Prabhakar accepts Shivarudra Lingaiah’s offer. While working with Shivarudra Lingaiah, Prabhakar stops a ship coming from Dubai, which contains smuggled goods belonging to Shivarudra Lingaiah. Prabhakar loads 90% of the smuggled goods into another ship and sells it to a third party. Afterwards, Prabhakar escapes to Australia, along with Nithya, to start a new life. Shivarudra Lingaiah gets arrested based on a tip-off by Prabhakar. However, Shivarudra Lingaiah continues his activities from the prison through his son Dheeraj.

2014: Shivarudra Lingaiah is now an MLA candidate, who along with Dheeraj, is awaiting to exact vengeance from Prabhakar. A grown-up Nithya arrives in Bangalore’s Talagavara to visit her late mother’s grave and is kidnapped by Dheeraj’s gang on the way. Agastya is an automobile mechanic who saves her from Dheeraj’s gang. He takes her to his house for safeguarding as advised by Prabhakar’s family-friend, Vishwa.

Meanwhile, a cat-and-mouse game ensues between Shivarudra Lingaiah and Agastya, where Agastya manages to save Nithya again. Nithya, who has fallen for Agastya, learns from Vishwa about his dark past in Mughor, a region ruled by a blood-drenched syndicate. Agastya’s old promise to his friend, Baala, had pushed Agastya to enter the crime syndicate. Within just a few years, Agastya managed to capture the entire region for Baala, against all odds. This earned him fearful respect and notoriety.

However, Agastya’s skirmish with Baala’s younger brother Maara led to Maara’s death. Agastya had forced an exile upon himself, respecting his mother’s vow to live a life free of violence. Dheeraj kills Shivarudra Lingaiah, deeming him weak and captures Nithya and relocates to Mughor, under orders from Mughor’s crime syndicate to seek vengeance on Agastya. Agastya returns to Mughor, where he faces the entire Mughor criminal fraternity. He kills Dheeraj and saves Nithya again. Though still holding a deep grudge against Agastya for Maara’s death, Baala allows them to leave, as a show of friendship towards Agastya. Agastya leaves Mughor to start a new life with Nithya.
