Antham (transl. The End) in Telugu is a 1992 Indian neo-noir crime film written and directed by Ram Gopal Varma, filmed simultaneously in both Telugu and Hindi languages. It stars Nagarjuna, Urmila Matondkar, Danny Denzongpa. The soundtrack was composed by R. D. Burman, as well as Mani Sharma and M.M. Keeravani, who each composed one song. The background score, of the film, was composed by Mani Sharma. The Hindi version was titled Drohi (transl. The Traitor). However, it was released on 23 October 1992, on Diwali that year, a month after the release of the Telugu version. Both the versions, as well as the music, received positive reviews upon release.

Plot

Raghav (Nagarjuna) is an orphan and receives assignments from an underworld gangster, J.P. Shetty (Danny Denzongpa), who hired him for contract killing, as a full-time job. Raghav leads a calm and secretive life and there is no room for relationships, in it. At a particular instance, he meets Bhavna (Urmila Matondkar), an ornithologist student, and falls in love with her innocence and charm. He hides his real identity from her and she, too, reciprocates his feelings. When things start looking hopeful for a normal life, for Raghav, Bhav na discovers his real identity and distances herself from him. The rest of the film is about what happens to the ill-fated Raghav.
