Okkadu (2003)

Immersed in the bustling heart of Hyderabad, our hero, Ajay (Mahesh Babu), leads a life of thrilling secrecy within the shadow of Charminar. He navigates his world through a concealed trap door, a hidden passage to his home - a necessary precaution to avoid the stern gaze of his disciplinarian police officer father (Mukhesh Rishi) and the playful antics of his mischievous younger sister (Niharika). His kind-hearted mother (Geetha) remains oblivious to his clandestine escapades. As a kabaddi champion, Ajay's life takes a dramatic turn when he ventures to Kurnool for a tournament. There, he crosses paths with the captivating Swapna (Bhoomika Chawla), who is trapped under the oppressive grip of the ruthless Obul Reddy (Prakash Raj). In a daring rescue, Ajay brings Swapna back to the refuge of his secret dwelling in Hyderabad, hidden amongst his collection of dolls, a sanctuary from the prying eyes of his family and the dangerous reach of Obul. Now, Ajay's mission is twofold: to secure a passport and visa for Swapna, offering her the chance of a new life in the US, and to bring home the national Kabaddi title. However, Swapna's developing feelings for her saviour complicate matters. As Ajay triumphs in the kabaddi arena, he is challenged by Swapna's refusal to leave him, stirring a potent mix of love and danger. The story then unfolds around their intertwined fates. How can Swapna break free from Obul Reddy's relentless pursuit and stay with Ajay? Is there a blossoming romance amidst the chaos, or will the harsh realities of their situation stifle their growing affection? The answers lie in the vibrant tapestry of their shared journey, where love, courage, and kabaddi collide in an unforgettable saga.
