Sangliyana (1988)
Plot
Sangliana is a 1988 Indian Kannada-language action drama film directed, co-produced and written by P. Nanjundappa. The film, loosely inspired by the life story of H. T. Sangliana, stars Shankar Nag, alongside Bhavya, Tara, Lohithaswa, Vajramuni, Devaraj, Sudheer, with actor Ambareesh making a special appearance. The music was composed by Hamsalekha, while cinematography and editing were handled by Mallikarjun and K. Balu. A. R. Rahman had worked as an assistant in the film. A sequel of the film was made with the same cast and crew and was titled as S. P. Sangliyana Part 2 which released in 1990. After Shankar Nag's demise, a third installment titled Sangliyana Part-3 released in 1997 starring Devaraj (who was the antagonist of the first two parts) - thereby becoming the second character-based trilogy in Kannada after CID 999. Nag's portrayal of cop was noted by critics to have offered grit and realism in his role - albeit in the commercial space - which can be seen as a template to many follow-up films.
