Ankusam is 1989 Indian Telugu-language action film directed by Kodi Ramakrishna and produced by Shyam Prasad Reddy. The film stars Dr. Rajashekar and Jeevitha, with Rami Reddy and M. S. Reddy in supporting roles.[1] It was a box-office blockbuster and marked a major breakthrough in Rajasekhar's career.[2][3] The film won three Nandi Awards.

Ravi Raja Pinisetty directed the Hindi and Kannada remakes, Pratibandh and Abhimanyu, in 1990, featuring Chiranjeevi and V. Ravichandran, respectively.[4]

Premise

Vijay (Dr. Rajasekhar) is an honest police officer who learns that an assassin named Neelakantam (Rami Reddy) is assigned to kill his former mentor-turned-CM Master Raghuviah (M. S. Reddy) and sets out to thwart Neelakantam's plans.

Legacy

The film became successful at box office and provided a major breakthrough in the career of Rajasekhar. Rajasekhar's portrayal of honest and short-tempered police officer received critical acclaim and he went on to be typecast in similar roles throughout his career.[5] The film was dubbed and released in Tamil as Idhuthaanda Police, which also became a huge hit.[6]

Both director and actor again teamed up for Nayakudu, which failed to repeat the success of Ankusam.[7] Ramireddy also became famous as a villain and did similar characters in other films.[8]

Director Srinu Vaitla said, "Two films – RGV's Shiva and Kodi's Ankusam – deeply influenced me and directly or indirectly prompted me to become a director".[9]
