Nandhavanam 120 km (also known as 120 km) is 2006 Telugu language Indian thriller film written directed and produced by G. Neelakanta Reddy. The film was released on 30 June 2006.




Plot


Amar (Ajay) is a thief who makes a deal with Banerjee (Kota Srinivasa Rao) to scam the owners of the Nandanavanam estate for whom Banerjee works as an auditor. Benerjee promises a ransom of 1 lakh rupees for Amar to act as Sandeep, a lookalike of Amar.
Benerjee convinces Amar that Sandeep has been kidnapped and will not return until their work at the estate is done. Amar who acts as Sandeep joins Sandeep's family and convinces everyone. One night when left alone in the estate, Amar realises that he is being trapped by Benarjee. He tries to convince Sandeep's family that he's a fake but in vain because of Benerjee's cautiousness.
In the midst of saving Sandeep and his family, Amar realises that he actually is Sandeep who left his estate as a child, adopted by a Christian man who names him Amar. Benerjee is actually a psychiatrist who gives treatment to him and makes Amar remember his past.




Production


G. Neelakanta Reddy decided his script and story needed "fresh Faces" and so chose to use relative newcomers for this latest project. He also decided that, despite the use of "catchy tunes" in his 2003 film Missamma, with his being a "believer in the dominance of script over everything", this project would be a film without dependence on songs. Due to her wish to perform in a Telugu film, Mumbai actress Talluri Rameshwari had begged Neelakanta for a role in this project.
