Dharma Kshetram (transl. Field of Righteousness) is a 1992 Indian Telugu-language legal action film, produced by K. C. Reddy under the Sri Rajeev Productions banner and directed by A. Kodandarami Reddy. It stars Nandamuri Balakrishna and Divya Bharti, with music composed by Ilaiyaraaja. The film was released on 14 February 1992, and was not commercially successful.
Plot
The film begins in a city in jeopardy of a political war between two dreadful goons, Durga Prasad & Pandu. The two weasels intrude and flaw the students' union in which Durga Prasad's sibling Sambhu Prasad butchers Pandu's brother Prabhakar. A lecturer, Bharati, witnesses the crime and prepares to testify. Amid, her kid brother Nagaraju, sidekick of Durga Prasad, obstructs her. Nevertheless, she stands firm and is under assault by a rotter near the court premises. Advocate Banerjee, a rectitude & rebel, shields Bharati and succeeds in forfeiting the culprits. He has an ideal family; his sister and brother-in-law serve as SP. Plus, he crushes on a charming Maithili, the daughter of a judge. Unfortunately, his younger brother, Kiran, is clutched by Pandu's gang. As an avenge, Sambhu Prasad molests & kills Bharati; when Nagaraju rages and slaughters him, he too is severely wounded.
Here, Banerjee tactically makes the two black hats with one-on-one sides to simply put cases. Mainly, Pandu murdered Sambhu Prasad. Pandu covers Nagaraju, who forces him to state that Durga Prasad stabbed him. At trial, they guilefully abscond by mingling together. As of today, the party's high command allows Durga Prasad to compete in Mayor elections. So, Banerjee catches hold of Nagaraju, builds a new case to disable Durga Prasad, and is apprehended. Despite that, Pandu acquits him as innocent of scandalous conduct and wiping out Nagaraju. At election time, Kiran outrages, powerless to resist when the miscreants slay him. At this point, Banerjee pledges to impede their anarchies and starts his murder spree. Step by step, he slaughters all acolytes of Durga Prasad, including Pandu, outside the law in self-defense. Now, Durga Prasad enrages, seizes, and tortures Banerjee. Next, he triumphs in elections. At last, Banerjee onslaughts while his swearing ceremony ceases him. Finally, the movie ends with Banerjee surrendering before the judiciary.
