Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Once Upon a Warrior, or Anaganaga O Dheerudu is a 2011 Indian fantasy-action adventure film produced as a joint-venture between Arka Media and Disney World Cinema.In ancient India, the powerful Snake-sorceress, Irendri, whose cult once dominates the world with an iron fist, has returned after her defeat entire centuries ago. Reviving her Snake Cult, Irendri intends to make herself invincible and indestructible, by absorbing the life-force of a child, Moksha, who is gifted with psychic powers, during an eclipse.A hero stood in Irendri's way, opposing the vile sorceress' plans of world domination. The warrior Yodha, once a proud soldier but now a blind man living in a circus, who sees Moksha as his surrogate little sister, will battle Irendri's forces of darkness to prevent her from completing the ritual.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The movie is released during the 2011 Sankranti festival, to moderate box-office success and above-average reviews. It's also the recipient of two Nandi awards — one for Best Villain over Lakshmi Manchu's portrayal of Sorceress Irendri — and one Filmfare Award. Unfortunately it's not really enough to hold Disney's interest of collaborating with Indian filmmakers, making this their first and only co-production with India. | |

Abnormal Ammo | |
| Once Upon A Warrior / int_12c65d9b | comment |
Abnormal Ammo: Yodha's boomerang can fire darts in mid-flight. Sorceress Irendri, upon finding out Yodha and Moksha has escaped into a valley, reveals the true extend of her power and she fires hundreds and hundreds of serpents from her fingers, which flies out of her citadel after the heroes. Yes, she can unleash a Macross Missile Massacre made of flying poisonous snakes. | |

Pretty Butterflies: Every time Moksha uses her powers, swarms and swarms of butterflies will gather around her. In fact these butterflies assists Yodha in the end by giving the warrior a lift to Irendri's fortress. | |

That Reminds Me of a Song | |
| Once Upon A Warrior / int_1ab65185 | comment |
That Reminds Me of a Song: Consistently, for every one or two action scenes, the audience can expect it to be followed by a musical number. Yodha and Priya reuniting in the dungeon and flashing back to their past in an Imagine Spot is a borderline BLAM (see YMMV). | |

Playing with Fire: In the opening scene, after having a whole village captured to be slaughtered, Irendri use her powers to summon a spiral of flames to burn the whole village to the ground. She lose those powers later in the film however, probably because her sorcery isn't at it's peak then. | |

Curb-Stomp Battle | |
| Once Upon A Warrior / int_3d699462 | comment |
Curb-Stomp Battle: Yodha against the Snake Cult, when a group of them ambushed the village while disguised as circus performers. The blind hero wipes out all of them with ridiculous ease. Yodha, most of the time, if the Snake Cult consists of mooks, with the hero tearing through their ranks easily. The final battle where Yodha fights Irendri unfortunately goes against Yodha's favor, because Irendri at this point have transformed into her powerful, One-Winged Angel serpentine form, an indestructible monster. Yodha barely survives the battle, if not for Moksha using her healing powers on him. | |

You Have Failed Me: Irendri really isn't the nicest of bosses, delivering plenty of these to her failed underlings. A Snake Cult member who fled from Yodha ends up getting thrown into a burning fire by the sorceress. | |

Snakes Are Sinister | |
| Once Upon A Warrior / int_476d2edb | comment |
Snakes Are Sinister: Played absolutely straight with Irendri, the Snake Sorceress. Her powers are snake-based and her touch is poisonous; her citadel is in the shape of a serpent's head rising from the ground, the bars of her dungeon are modelled after snakes (which can come to life to attack intruders), her domain have carvings of snakes adorning walls and pillars, numerous statues of snakes and snake people are shown all over her lair's interior, she can fire hundreds of flying, poisonous snakes from her hands, in the final battle when she unleashes her One-Winged Angel form she transforms into a humanoid-snake hybrid monster... and yes, she's the villain. Why'd you ask? | |

Would Hurt a Child | |
| Once Upon A Warrior / int_479d4e5a | comment |
Would Hurt a Child: The Snake Cult have no qualms hunting down 9-year-old Moksha to their boss, Irendri. And of course Irendri herself also qualifies; besides intending to have Moksha sacrificed during an eclipse, she also gleefully steals and absorbs the life force of hundreds of children in neighboring villages in order to make herself stronger, rendering plenty of kids in a semi-comatose state. | |

Mystical Waif: Moksha, Yodha's child-assistant in the circus which he considers a little sister. She can summon butterflies, see into the future (for a brief while anyway), and is revealed to have healing and resurrection powers, seeing how in the finale she heals the near-dead Yodha after he's horribly wounded by Irendri's monstrous form. | |

Co-Dragons | |
| Once Upon A Warrior / int_ce767e6f | comment |
Co-Dragons: Irendri's cult have two prominent henchmen; Sudigundam (who serves as a Mook Lieutenant and leads Snake Cult minions in raids) and Chitra (who is Irendri's personal aid). Both of them doesn't serve any purpose, other than being slightly higher-ranked servants of evil to be killed respectively by Yodha and Priya in the finale. | |

All Part of the Show: The Snake Cult infiltrates the performance while disguised as regular dancers. As they ambush the performing Yodha on stage, and Yodha starts fighting back, the audience applauds thinking it was part of the show. But then the cult starts attacking the crowd... | |

Step into the Blinding Fight: Yodha battles the two shape-shifting crow sorcerers in the middle of a dark forest. However, since Yodha is blind anyway, he barely fazes at the challenge and soon defeats his enemies. | |

Malevolent Masked Men | |
| Once Upon A Warrior / int_db88b941 | comment |
Malevolent Masked Men: The Snake Cult, in their first appearance, wears Satanic-looking red masks while infiltrating the village show as part of their disguise, with Yodha cutting down several masked members and exposing the cult by slicing one of the masks into two. Later on the Snake Cult soldiers would wear masks made from skulls instead. | |

Blood Bath | |
| Once Upon A Warrior / int_e03533c8 | comment |
Blood Bath: Irendri indulges in these, with a pool of blood in her quarters from victims of the Snake Cult's sacrificial rituals for her to immerse herself in regularly. This is the same pool where she use her clairvoyance powers for visions on how to make herself stronger. | |

Unexplained Recovery | |
| Once Upon A Warrior / int_e5d8460d | comment |
Unexplained Recovery: Sudigundam, during the hill battle, gets struck in the neck by Yodha's flung boomerang. He seemingly succumbed to his wounds afterwards... but somehow comes back in the final battle, leading the Snake Cult to attack Yodha and prevent the heroes from interfering with Irendri's ritual. Maybe he's The Determinator or the boomerang hit turns out to be Just a Flesh Wound? | |

Creepy Crows: The two sorcerers serving Irendri can transform themselves into a murder of crows and back to human form. They're among the tougher opponents Yodha have to battle in the film. | |

One-Winged Angel: Irendri's final form, a green serpentine monster, whose body have numerous extra snakes extending from her limbs, shoulders, and various parts. It's her most powerful form and she absolutely delivers a thrashing on Yodha, who is hopelessly overpowered by the sorceress. | |
