Paisa

Story:

Paisa is a 2014 Indian Telugu action drama film with Nani and Catherine Tresa in the lead. It was directed by Krishna Vamsi and produced by Ramesh Puppala under the Yellow Flowers banner. Padmasri, K. K. Binojee, and Patrikeya wrote it. It talks about the influence of money and how the world runs on it.

The censor board gave the movie a “A” rating for its severe violence and vulgarity, and it was set for release on December 20. However, the movie premiered globally on February 7, 2014.

When it was first released, both critics and viewers gave the movie varying ratings. The movie bombed at the box office.

After the Central Bureau of Investigation established his ties to the liquor mafia and the Election Commission of India announced the first by election in that constituency following the main elections of that term, an Andhra Pradesh Cabinet minister named Kalamoorthy was dismissed from his position. The chief minister of Andhra Pradesh would be Sanyasi Naidu if he won the by election, but a senior member of the ruling party, Saradhi, is only willing to spend 25 crores on the election. Sanyasi Naidu agrees to invest 50 crores because it is his goal to dominate the state.

With the help of his trusted aid, the Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP), Sanyasi Naidu brings ₹50 crores to India through Hawala transaction into Old City in Hyderabad. The ACP is tasked with transporting the money to the constituency.

On completion of the task and if Sanyasi Naidu becomes the Chief Minister, then the ACP would be promoted as Inspector General (IG) of Police. The ACP goes to the Old city to collect the amount and the money is wrapped in big black plastic bags and is placed in the Deck lid of a Black Innova.

Another story runs parallel to the above plot. Prakash is a model of an Old city sherwani firm who dreams to become rich. He has such an obsession for money that he pronounces his name as Pra’cash’ often. He has two friends, Tabar, a cab driver and Gokul. Noor, who also works in the same firm, is in love with him. However, as Prakash is in love with Sweety, the daughter of Sanyasi Naidu, Noor decides to leave him and marry an old sheikh in order to solve her family’s financial problems on the pressure of their creditor and the local don Yadav. But Prakash does not know that Sweety is Sanyasi Naidu’s daughter and Sweety is not aware of Prakash’s intentions and takes his advances lightly. When Prakash learns of Noor’s marriage, he beats the sheikh, Yadav and his men in disguise and takes away Noor along with his friends. The two plots converge here as Prakash escapes in that Black Innova along with Noor and his friends while the ACP is left severely injured. Neither Prakash nor his companions are aware of the money in the car.
