CID (1965)

The gamber Chalapathi (Gummadi) is presumed dead by the police when they find a corpse wearing his clothes on a railway track. His wife and son are supported by Ramadasu (Mikkilineni) and the son grows up to become a policeman (NTR). Chalapathi, who is not dead, has become the leader of a gang of thieves and becomes the prey of his own son. The film was considered a major let-down from Telugu cinema’s most high-profile banner.
