In your budget the best phone to look out for is the Sony Xperia S which costs 27k

Get Xperia S. :)
Also its now a Nexus class device so it will get all new Android updates much before any other phone, direct from Google.

They will bring AOSP to Xperia S.
Sony Xperia S will get vanilla Android as a Google experiment - GSMArena.com news

XS
1. Current sony global flagship hence updating it will be priority for them.
2. 720p display on 4.3, making it the highest ppi phone.

S2
1. Faster chipset.
2. Super Amoled plus (Depends whether you like Samoled or Lcd)
3. Superb community support.

You can't go wrong with either of them. Choose what you like.
