Yes Pokiri' was the first film that crossed Rs 40 crore share in the south film industry and was released on April 28, 2006. The movie was a trendsetter and had a perfect pinch of masala for being a super commercial success as well.
In the film, Mahesh Babu starred as Krishna, a police officer who disguises himself as a thug and joins the mafia in order to wipe out the underworld. Meanwhile, the character falls in love with Shruti, an aerobics teacher. Mahesh Babu played the lead role in this movie directed by Puri Jagannadh, alongside Ileana who played the female lead.
The dialogue `Evadu Kodithe Mind Block Avuddo Vaade Pandugaadu` has become so popular that the phrase 'mind block' is now regularly being used by Telugu people.
