After three days in captivity, fourteen of the officers get released. However, one of the men gets murdered, and the police find a tape recording and a file from the dead man's body. This evidence exposes that the kidnapping and subsequent murder were committed by members of the self-proclaimed "Anti-Corruption Force" (ACF), a citizen militia seeking to eliminate corruption by any means necessary. The militia, acting as a kangaroo court, "sentenced" officials in the area to death - beginning with the captured revenue officers who were apparently engaging in criminal activity. The focus then shifts to Ramana, a mild-mannered professor living in an apartment with his wife and daughter. While visiting one of his adopted children at the hospital, Ramana discovers that officials at the facility are engaging in criminal activities such as extortion and fraud. After collecting evidence of the hospital staff's deception Ramana turns them to the authorities; the ringleader, the hospital's dean, commits suicide upon discovery. The dean's grief-stricken father, a local construction magnate named Bhadrinarayanan, vows to take revenge on the man responsible for his son's death. During Deepavali, the apartment collapses, killing many residents; among them, Ramana's wife and daughter. Recovering from the incident, Ramana demands to know who was responsible for the collapse. He discovers that the building was built and owned by Bhadrinarayanan, who knowingly constructed the complex on loose soil. When Ramana confronts him, Bhadrinarayanan and his men beat him; however Ramana manages to escape. In response to the actions of Bhadrinarayanan as well as the general corruption in the region, Ramana forms the Anti-Corruption Force (ACF). Ramana and his men ultimately capture and hang Bhadrinarayanan along with other corrupt government officials. Meanwhile, a local constable begins building a case against the ACF, he has been passed over for promotion due to his refusal to bribe his superiors. The constable eventually realizes that the ACF is primarily composed of students and alumni of Ramana's school, and takes swift action against them. The ACF members are captured and tortured by the police, but refused to reveal their leader's identity. Ramana, however is overcome with guilt over his students' sacrifice and surrenders himself on the condition that the other members of the ACF be released. Ramana is tried and convicted for the murders of Bhadrinarayanan and the other government officials and is sentenced to death. Public pressure from the sympathetic community forces the Chief Minister to offer Ramana an appeal, however Ramana refuses, stating that he must face the consequences for his actions. He is ultimately hanged. The constable is offered a promotion for toppling the ACF, but refuses out of guilt. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ramanaa (film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
