Draft:Billa Ranga (film)
| Submission declined on 11 November 2024 by Mims Mentor (talk). Based on the current references, the article does have some sources that provide significant coverage of the film, which is crucial for establishing notability. I would suggest expanding the article with more independent, reliable, and significant coverage to ensure it meets the GNG standards for a stand-alone article.

Billa Ranga is a 1982 Indian Telugu-language action drama film directed by K. S. R. Das and starring Chiranjeevi and Mohan Babu in the titular roles.[1] The film was a box office success.[2]
Plot
[edit]Billa makes a living by stealing while Ranga robs those who earn unjustly. Ranga looks for police officer Raviraj, who separated him from his father Rajaram as a child. After Raviraj suspects that he is Rajaram's son, he sends Billa to kill him. Ranga explains his past to Billa about how his father Rajaram was skilled at throwing swords. Rajaram had threatened Rajaram and asked him to kill a police officer (who happens to be Billa's father Vishnu). His refusal meant that he had to die in Raviraj's custody.
Billa tells Ranga about his father Vishnu's past and how Raviraj also killed him too. Billa and Ranga join hands to confront their common enemy, Raviraj. Billa saves a girl from bullies and Ranga marries her. Ranga takes their daughter and leaves while Billa says that she is innocent. Raviraj thinks they are a danger to him and arrest Ranga and his wife. Billa saves Ranga from Raviraj and reveals that he is a CID officer.[2]
