Directed byDinesh Baboo ActorsShiva Rajkumar, K. S. Ashwath, Chi. Guru Dutt, Avinash Rating71% Vikram (Shivarajkumar), also known as Inspector Vikram, is a happy go lucky cop, who has no problem getting himself into trouble with his superiors, especially the police commissioner (K. S. Ashwath). Although accepted as a brilliant mind with a sharp intellect to solve crimes, he is often chided for his immature, if not casanova like personality. Much of misadventures, though leading to the solving of the crime, put Vikram and the police commissioner, who is also his father's best friend, at opposite ends of the table. During the course of the movie, Vikram courts many brickbats and transfers in his career. He serves in the traffic as well as the law and order departments. However, when an inmate Raja (Chi Guru Dutt) escapes from prison, Vikram is called back in to track him down. It is shown that Vikram and Raja have a history. In fact, it was Vikram who jailed Raja when he was caught assaulting his employer.
