Ranam

Ranam (Telugu: రణం, English: Battle) is a Telugu film which stars Gopichand and Kamna Jethmalani. Choreographer-turned-director Amma Rajasekhar directed this film. The film was a hit at the box office. This is Gopichand's third consecutive hit as a lead actor. The film was dubbed into Tamil as "Stalin" and remade into Oriya as "Mahanayak". Maheswari (Kamna Jethmalani) is sister of Bhagawati (Biju Menon), a mafia don in Hyderabad. Chinna (Gopichand), classmate of Maheshwari, inadvertently enters into a row with the gang members of Bhagawati, and falls in love with Maheswari. The rest of the story is all about how Chinna resorts to a mind game on Bhagavati to win his sister.

Directed by Amma Rajasekhar, Ranam leans on a strong ensemble — T. Gopichand, Kamna Jethmalani, Biju Menon — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about action titles of 2006.
