While visiting the old city, Pranay and Rochak meet Ismail's gang at a hotel in the old city. Ismail's gang gets into a spat with Pranay and Rochak. Rochak and Pranay are guided to safety by their guide as they are chased by the Ismail bhai gang. Pranay and Rochak are dating their office co-workers, while Ismail bhai and his gang keep planning a strategy to seek their revenge.
Meanwhile, Ramesh, Pranay's cousin (who is also their butler) colludes with Mama, the typical gangster of the Hyderabadi underworld, to kidnap Pranay for ransom. Mama and his goons take up the assignment and the plan is set in motion.
Ismail Bhai is still enraged as he believes that the harmless spat is now a matter worth dying for and is a matter of his Izzat (honour).[2] On the other side of the town, Mama and his gang enter the residence of the NRIs, at the same time the Ismail bhai gang after sniffing out their whereabouts go into the NRI's house at night to seek their revenge and restore Ismail bhai's image. Mama and gang mistakenly kidnap Rochak. Ismail Bhai and gang return from their mission failing as usual. Rochak finds out the mastermind behind the kidnapping and bribes the guard and warns Pranai of his cousin's intentions.[2]
Ismail Bhai and Mama gang have a brush against each other. Pranay and Rochak succeed in making the two gangs fight against each other and manage their escape. As Mama and his gang is nabbed by the Hyderabad Police, Ismail bhai and gang returns to Charminar after being heavily assaulted by Mama and his goons. And life, in Hyderabadi style, goes on as usual for the Ismail Bhai's gang.[2]
The director and writer of the movie, Kuntaa Nikkil, who also played the lead character 'Pranai' in the film, had already worked as an assistant director in the United States. He had worked on the script for 'The Angrez' for over two years. He met numerous people, investigated the culture of NRI's living in Hyderabad, and learned about the working conditions in call centres. To understand the culture of the old city he would secretly capture the expressions of people from the old city.[3] When a half-hour promo was shot on DV camera nobody was willing to produce the movie. Then Sreedhar Rao stepped forward and decided to produce the movie since he felt that the movie had highlighted the core culture of the city.[3][4]
The movie was released initially only in four theatres in Hyderabad, but later on it was released in many theatres in Hyderabad and CDs/DVDs were released only after it completed 25 weeks by Hyderabad-based home video company Shalimar Video. The producer petitioned the Department of Tourism to promote the film to raise interest in the Hyderabad area.[5]The directors and producers believe that this movie covers the entire Hyderabadi culture, right from bonalu to baraat, from biryani to the pub life. The five-minute rap song 'Hyderabadi Biryani' was shot in 77 different locations of Hyderabad like the Chudi Bazaar, Taramati Baradari and Tank Bund. The producers had to do a lot of running about since there were only a few takers. Released with just two prints, the film gradually headed for the fifth week and then was all set for a country wide opening. The film created a record by running to packed houses in a single theatre for over 25 weeks. And made a record sale of 5 million copies at the launch of VCD and DVD by Hyderabad-based home video company Shalimar Video.[5]
Though the movie failed to attract the mainstream film industry, it started off the infectious trend of making comedy movies based on the Hyderabadi culture. In a matter of a year and a half, there were about a half a dozen releases, like Kal ka Nawab, Hyderabad Nawaabs, Aadab Hyderabad, Hungama in Dubai among others.[6] But none of them quite succeeded in creating the effect and the charm of the original, though these movies were popular among the Old City residents. The success of The Angrez can be attributed to the spontaneity of the humour whereas in the movies that followed, the humour looks forced.[7] The film not only gained popularity in Andhra Pradesh and the other parts of India but also among the large diaspora in the Middle-East and the US, attributed to the Internet and availability of original as well as unlicensed DVDs. With unauthorized DVDs being released in huge numbers, several raids were conducted and lakhs of illicit copies were recovered.[8]
The film turned out to be a dud during the first weekend. Thinking their efforts had gone down the drain, the makers retired to their respective homes but a phone call on the following Monday changed the course of fate for the youngsters. The movie started to run houseful and soon theatres became jam-packed across Hyderabad. The film ran not just in the city, but even in parts of Maharashtra and Karnataka. Angrez, the first movie that gave birth to the Dakhini industry in Hyderabad, became a smash hit and ran in theatres for close a year. Interestingly, the movie was directed by an NRI, Nikkil Kuntaa.
The Dakhini industry revived the Deccani language in Hyderabad with a string of releases beginning with Angrez in 2006. The films soon became a rage not only in Hyderabad but also in theatres in Karnataka and parts of Maharashtra. The industry became an ode to the Deccani Urdu, a mix of Hyderabadi Hindi and Urdu, giving the actors from the city a platform to show their acting prowess.
Any true Hyderabadi, who has binge-watched Angrez and Angrez 2, can never forget Ismail bhai, the local gang leader who left the viewers in splits with his slapstick comedy and strongly accented Hyderabadi Urdu. Ismail bhai led a gang who whiled away time with routine gossip and sipping tea at local cafes, engaging in babble and talks of bravery.
Speaking to TNM, DC Srivastav, who played the role of Ismail Bhai, recollects the days of filming the movie and claims that after Hyderabadi Biryani, the essence of the city still resonates with Angrez.
The industry kicked off with no godfathers and zero production houses, but garnered fans from not just the Urdu/Hindi speaking populace of Hyderabad but from around the world. The industry, in 2016, came to be known as Dollywood, after the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) started issuing censor certificates with Dakhini as the language.
Even though the Dakhini movies and videos largely imitate the life of the people in the Old City of Hyderabad, not once have they been criticised for propagating stereotypes that have been offensive to any community.
Beginning from Angrez to Dubai Returns, the DVDs and CDs for the movie were sold in the areas of Mehdipatnam and Old City like hot cakes. Though the industry had its own milestones beginning from 2005, over the past couple of years, the Dakhini industry has not been at its prime. And the reasons for this gradual decline are many.
