Athadu (Telugu: అతడు) is a 2005 Telugu film produced by RamMohan.M and D.Kishore and directed by Trivikram Srinivas. The movie stars Mahesh Babu, Trisha Krishnan, Sonu Sood, Nassar and Prakash Raj. The movie soundtrack was scored by Mani Sharma. The film released on 10 August 2005. The film went on to become one of the highest grossing films in Tollywood. But this film story line is loosely based on 1988 Telugu movie Varasudochhadu starring Venkatesh. The movie was dubbed into Tamil and Malayalam languages as Nandhu and Target respectively. Athadu has also been remade in Hindi as Ek The Power of One and in Bengali as Wanted.
Nanda Gopal /Nandu (Mahesh Babu) is a professional assassin, and Malli (Sonu Sood) is his partner. They charge Rs. 1.5 crore per assassination.
A party leader, Shiva Reddy (Sayaji Shinde), wants someone to attempt an assassination on him so that he can get more sympathy votes in the upcoming election. Shiva Reddy's colleague Baji Reddy(Kota Srinivasa Rao) hooks him up with Nandu for a deal. However, before Nandu can shoot Shiva Reddy, someone else fatally shoots him. Within minutes, police surround the building. Just before the exit of the building, a big car accident occurs on the street with Nandu's car. Nandu assumes that Malli got trapped and died in the accident. So Nandu goes to the top of the skyscraper. With the police behind him and in front of him, he is helpless. Suddenly a train comes and Nandu uses a rope to jump from the skyscraper to the train.

[ Bill ]
Well baby now that you've got your freedom how you're doin' (without)
[ Mary Lou ]
And honey I'm a subject you've got your freedom too how you're doin' (without)
[ Bill ]
Without your arms around me the world's a lonely place
[ Mary Lou ]
Please don't look too close when you're looking to my face
So you see that I've been crying (and crying ain't what freedom's all about)
[ Both ]
I wanna do my thing with you and if I can't do with you I'll do without
[ Bill ]
You know the last time I saw you was that when you came in
And said that you didn't want to live with me anymore
[ Mary Lou ]
Yeah I thought we'd both be better off if we just untight the knot
And losin' the chance
But honey I was in your arms five minutes before I knew I made a big mistake
[ Bill ]
And you just don't know how many nights I've laid awake in a big cold bed
And called your name
And I just wonder now if all the men in town are cravin' your body
Honey what you're doin' (without)
[ Mary Lou ]
And if all the girls are chasin' you what have you been doin' (without)
Without your arms around me...
I had this bitch locked on to me like she was way too clever
Man, Soopafly never ever ever
Fell for the do no and you know I'm
Too swift on my toes and the gifts of hoez
It's too much for me to be givin' to you
Uh, all I'm givin' is some dick in you
Now Sh????, I told the bitch to blaze the weed
Now she blazed it but that ain't all she blew
Hey, I got knocked off on the bar
And my room got knocked off in the car
Gave it to me until I reached my peak
Baby flip talkin' bout lovin' me in the week
I said that's too damn quick, and too damn fast
You've been givin' up too much damn cock and givin up too much ass
Nah nah nah you ain't gettin' me like that
Soopafly ain't even called the bitch back
Ever since she tripped, I went on one
Stepped in the club, Caught me a homerun
Baby was bad and all, she said gimme a call
I wanted to break that bitch like a law
Picked her up at the bus stop, she was soft and smooth
Talkin' bout what could pop out and hit the roof
Then she said somethin bout the cost
Man, that same bus stop is where
I dropped that bitch back the fuck off
You can't ride my bird
So I kicked that bitch to the curb
You best to believe
You ain't got no trick up your sleeve that can get with me
You thought you had my grip
But Soopafly never ever slips
You thought you had my cash
Till I turned around and whupped yo' ass
....like a pimp and that's for real
I came through in a zoot suit, pin stripe lookin' too cute
Tryin' to get my shoot on, so I'm a scoot on
Over to the next bitch, say her name is Texas
She fly but she wasn't the sexiest
She had a hoe with her named Bama, short for Alabama
A big bad mama-jamma, now look here
I like big bitches cause they large
And big bitches always take charge
Wanna grab a skinny nigga like Snoop Dogg
Cause you like it tall, go and work it baby doll
Now a great big girl got a hell of a grip to grab a hold of
Got alot of cash for a little love
All they wanna do is take you down to the mall
Floss a little dick and get a t-shirt that say miss Snoop Dogg
I don't see a god damn thang
That's stoppin you from buying me that god damn ring
It'd look nice on my finger, I'm a buy you a zinger
Cause you make me feel like a real hip-hop singer
Your homegirl, bring her cause I've been dying to meet her
You know I won't cheat her, don't mistreat her
She only get the dick, I'll never ever eat her
But I'll drop her ass cause you know I don't need her...
It was fun while it lasted
You know what they say, big things come in small packages, baby
You thought you had my grip
But Snoop Dogg never ever slips
You thought you had my cash
Until I turned around and whupped your ass
....trick beyotch beyotch
I said beyyyotch, what are you smokin
A big fat dick comin' from east Oakland
There must be some kind of misunderstanding
Hit the parking lot, bitch I be standing by the Benz
You think a nigga rich, bitch
Gold diggin' tramps tryin' to get with this dick
For all the wrong reasons
Niggas ain't trippin' during pimp season
But you still jumped your fast ass in anyway
If any other nigga picked you up it'd be payday
I rolled to my house with the bitch
(What'd you do $hort) introduced her mouth to my dick
Glad to meet you, make yourself comfortable
You fuckin' with a dog, bitch you ain't fin' to come up, hoe
So you might as well enjoy the ride
And serve this nigga from the eastside
How much for the game that I'm sellin'
Ain't no tellin' like Jack told Helen
I know sex sells but I'm a tell you though
Couldn't spend on shit that ain't valuable
Fucked all night woke up the next mornin'
Told her I'm a pimp but the bitch kept on
Wantin' me to do somethin' for the time she spent
It's funny, cause now she can't find the rent money
You thought you had my grip
But Too $hort never ever slips
You thought you had my cash
Until I turned around and whupped your ass
....trick beyotch beyotch
...I got family members, homeboys...

music O. N. Schmid, lyrics Ch. Schmid
Leave me scared
Suck my lust
The past is everything
Leave me
Light onto me
Carry, all my tearful love
I am nothing
But you are my heaven
Bleed my blood
Everything
But love is nothing at all
You try to answer slow
You put your head down low
Cmon take your time
Try to choose the most believable lie
You try to walk away
And tell me everything's okay
You think youre are saved by words
But you're drowning in the absurd
But to me it's no big surprise
You thought I never saw your eyes
Departed with a smile
Just like walking down the isle
You shook the preacher's hand
But your smile can't hide your sin
Your eyes tell me what you feel
You eyes tell me what is real
Nobody's perfect is your prediction
Your life is proving your conviction!
To me it's no big surprise

Muthafuckaz I look out way before you.
you know today is a new day you see,
i'll stab you the back and then sting like a bee,
my ride be sit'n on some twenties,
you thought you could battle me,
while your ride sits on them little three's,
its like your jumping in the ring trying to box w/ Ali,
just stay in pee wees,
you and all them are about same height i can see,
You Thought
(Schock/Valentine)
I can't seem to stop the music
All those familiar sounds
My thoughts cut in on partners
Dancin' in their empty arms
Tangled up in the lives of others
That don't make any sense
Lost looks in the eyes of lovers
Their sins are innocent
Don't you stop to wonder
What's goin' wrong
When everything you've ever loved
Has come and gone
You thought and never told me
You thought but that won't hold me
So much was left unspoken
Held in a heart now broken
Situations all invented
A million in your head
How come you keep repeating
Each word you ever said
You thought and never questioned
You thought and kept me guessing
Too much was left unspoken
You thought a bit too late this time
Under here
There's no light
Take from me my sight
I don't need it anymore
You came here
With your fire
Burned out my desire
Took the whisper from the flame
I never wanted
I never knew
It was you
I stood there helpless
Far and away
Nothing left to say
And it feels the same that it did before
Only without you
And I cry the same that I did before
Only without you
I failed to see the light that was for me
oh yeah that
i forgot my stuff for school
i looked out the window watching
everyone play
i am stuck inside at home
i know i am late
oh yeah that
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
oh yeah that
i wounder why i forgot
(CHORUS)
yeah yeah yeah yeah
yeah yeah yeah yeah
now i wounder why the teacher is mad at me
all my friends are hanging aorund the halls
looking at me
they are talking about me behide my back
(REPEAT CHORUS)
(VERSE 2)
i what to start over
but i am not sure how
watching the days go by
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
oh yeah that
i forgot to o to the club
i wish i could fly away
(REPEAT CHORUS)
(BRIDGE)
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Wait, I didn't see it coming
I took one last look around
The machines were out of order
The machines are out of order
Wait, I never paid attention
Day dreamin' till the end
I need a second dose of childhood
I need a second dose of childhood
I gotta get gone get outta the rain
I gotta get gone get outta the rain
I gotta get gone get outta the rain
I gotta get gone get gone
I'm feelin' no meaning without you (I've lost all of myself)
I'm searchin' for a reason without you (Why can't it always be true)
Keep feelin' keep breathin' just saved me from myself
Wait, I can't behave now
Sit around I'm such a mess
Looked around there's no one else here
I looked around there's no one else
Wait, I went the wrong way
I lift off okay to go
I wanna make my lunar orbit
I try my best to obsorb it
I gotta get gone get outta the rain
I gotta get gone get outta the rain
I gotta get gone get outta the rain
I gotta get gone, get gone
I'm feelin' no meaning without you (I've lost all of myself)
I'm searchin' for a reason without you (Why can't it always be true)
Keep feelin' keep breathin' just saved me from myself
I gotta get, gotta get, gone!
I gotta get gone!
I gotta get gone!
I gotta get...gone!
I'm feelin' no meaning without you (I've lost all of myself)
I'm searchin' for a reason without you (Why can't it always be true)
Keep feelin' keep breathin' saved me from myself!
I've Been Walking In This Road
Time Passing Me By
Letting Go Of What I Couldn't Hold
Finding Places To Hide
I've Been Watching You Closely
Every Move That You Make
And All The Things You've Showed To Me
Are Getting Harder To Take
[CHORUS]
I Wish That We Could Begin From The Start
I Pray That I Could Be Brave Enough
To Show You How Easily I Fall Apart
I Can't Let You Know
That I Can't Let It Show
'Cause I'd Rather Be Without Than Be Without You
I Guess I Feel Like A Stranger
When It Comes Down To Love
I'm Too Aware of The Danger
That It Can Bring Upon Us
[CHORUS]
[Whistling]
I Wish That We Could Begin From The Start
I Pray That I Could Be Brave Enough
To Show You How Easily I Fall Apart
I Can't Let You Know
I Wish That We Could Begin From The Start
I Pray That I Could Be Brave Enough
To Find Out If You'd Ever Give Me Your Heart
Cause You Don't Let Me Know
You Don't Let It Show
And I Want You To Know
I get
What I own
Don't let
The feelings that I choose
Cause everybody else do

No time for me to say
When I speak out of line
I don't believe in time
wasn't i everything you thought i'd be
didn't we fly away on broken wings
weren't you there to taste the finer things
you throw them away...you forget about it
it's never over
the wind of summer brings you here
i can taste you in the air
did we recover...just to give it all away...to another undeserved
i wait for you
wasn't i everything you thought i'd be
didn't we fly away on broken wings
weren't you there to taste the finer things
you throw it away...you forget about it
don't forget about it
another reason to leave us...i don't want to hear
open ended and alone...i wait for you
please...lover don't erase the beauty...
turn around...come back to me
wasn't i everything you thought i'd be
didn't we fly away on broken wings
weren't you there to taste the finer things
you throw it away...you forget about it
don't forget about it
Shadows beat their way inside
Past open doors
Strip away the paradise
I can't touch the floor
Dust upon the dust
Paint over paint
Floating on a gentle breeze
Above the road
I want your love
Without
All of the time
Without
Sunlight stains the water boat
Drops fall in sync
This is the truth of anything
That's from above
I want your love
Without
All of the time
Without
I want your love
Without
All of the time
sitting and staring
waiting and contemplating
something that stupid
and selfish for nothing
without these scars I’m just as
I’m just as beautiful as
without this hate I’m just as
I’m just as pitiful as
without these scars I’m just as
I’m just as beautiful as
without this hate I’m just so fucking pitiful
I need the smell of cigarettes
I need the sweat to feel
the blood pour from my head
so I know this is real
without these scars I’m just as
I’m just as beautiful as
without this hate I’m just as
I’m just as pitiful as
without these scars I’m just as
I’m just as beautiful as
without this hate I’m just so fucking pitiful
I never thought the taste of metal
could be so inviting
I never thought the taste of metal
could be so inviting
I never thought the taste
I never thought the taste
it could be so fucking divine
it could be so fucking divine
I’m pitiful
I’m beautiful
I’m pitiful
I’m beautiful
deeper deeper
deeper deeper
deeper deeper
bury me alive
bury me alive
bury me alive
