START

What man?

No matter how much I pierce it,

it isn’t penetrating!

Come here…

Hold him!

You *&th%r*u#ker!

Keep quiet!

Priests…

Are equal to God, it seems!

The respect we accord such a great God

has been tarnished badly...

By that Dharma!

Sada is calling!

Give me that!

Why?

He is questioning the reason for all these fights!

It’s because we stand in front of him with folded hands,

that they look down on us!

We don’t need shit!

He who is strong will somehow save himself, leave it!

Will you ride the bike?

Yes…

Look here…

Like this…

You need to raise the accelerator!

After Pradee grows up…

I am scared that he will become like you.

I have bought a place near the coffee estate.

Let’s build a home there

and live in peace.

This is our place Suni.

We should not go anywhere from here.

If we stay here,

you know we will all surely die

and yet you say that you want to stay here.

Eat!

The debt of the morsel of food…

For you…

Me…

And for the child…

Let’s see how much of it is written in our fate!

You should not talk like that!

To Rayappa’s son…

I am talking regarding peace!

I am a fool!

Brother…

Please call him!

The priest has called you tomorrow for the veneration.

Along with dignity,

I will give you peace,

as a token.

Be careful man!

Even if you believe God,

you cannot trust the priest!

Whatever it is, I will tackle it and return.

We also need to go to Sada.

Come soon.

Why was I summoned here?

We need to change the house.

Somehow it is not suiting us!

There is a cemetery to burn corpses!

You are making a mistake Suni!

He was the only one who was there for us…

You even snatched him!

Are you all breathing easy now?!

It’s alright!

There is a God…

He will be watching all this.

It may be your tradition to hate daughters!

But…

I don’t have it in my heart to hate my father!

I will not wish that anyone is harmed!

Change the house!

Trust me Sada!

I did not touch Dharma!

I’m not at all involved in his death.

You have gone beyond the mandate!

No one is believing you!

If we stand by you now,

it will become difficult.

Especially during this time!

Nothing can be done now!

If you need any help in future…

Please come by then.

I give you my word!

What’s with you Guna?

Weren’t we in peace?

Why are you triggering them then?

What happened man?

Despite knowing everything

you are mentoring that young boy!

He’s a demon, man!

Your demon has sworn to God, I believe…

If Malpe doesn’t show some guts,

he will slay Guna!

Else he will shave his head, it is said!

Guna…

Pepe…

Come, let’s go home.

He is my father's friend, right?

Yes.

He was.

Now he is associated with Malpe.

When Malpe bursts out in anger,

remembering us,

he will undress him.

Don’t go around thrashing anyone in front of him, Guna.

He is learning your behaviour only!

I am known as a teacher

and my son is like this!

Let it go sister-in-law…

He’s just a kid…

He’ll learn!

Yes, yes, he will learn!

All he seems to be learning is to behave like you!

You first leave that stream

and marry someone!

You have grown like a donkey!

No matter what I say,

you just won’t learn.

Do I look good!?

They…

Why did they kill my father?

You don’t need to know all that at this age.

When you grow up, you will know everything.

What did we get from this stream?

Election…

Sada wants to know if he can meet you.

He should not enter the village.

If he does, then burn him.

He agreed to sign brother!

What wrong have we done to them granny

that they are ruining our water like this?

Since how many years

are you drinking this water?

It’s been 15 years granny!

Ever since our God has gone,

we have not drunk clean water at all!

In that God’s lineage too

don’t ever forget that there is a son, my dear!

Where the hell are you?

Are you dead?

Sindhu…

I am in the backyard…

Come!

You are washing clothes, is it?

Why?

I too have some…

Wash them please!

See your own work.

Here, hang it to dry!

You don’t do anything of mine…

You only serve your son!

If I don’t pamper my son,

tell me who else will?

You raise him with great care,

but let him go out

and fight with everyone and comes!

Fight?

What happened?

It is some issue

regarding the fish, I believe!

He has hit up Loki.

What does that mean?

Ask your son only and find out!

Then call him!

It’s not such a big matter anyway…

He will come home

sometime or the other!

If he had a wife,

wouldn’t she have taken care of him?

Which son in this world

will listen to their mother?

You first stop listening to the talk of the town!

But there are townsfolks around me all the time, isn’t it?

What can be done?

He is not yours yet!

Don’t eat my head!

Go…

When will he be mine?

Tell that son of yours

that they are torturing me at home!

Look…

You are also not getting any younger,

we will give you a couple of grandkids.

You can play with them and chill!

Did you not say just now

that no son ever listens to their mother!?

You convince him yourself!

You sure are no less arrogant!

Go away!

Don’t throw water on me!

Wait darling!

Don’t call me all that!

Don’t get angry!

Give me a kiss dear!

Keep your son informed

that if he does not accept me,

then I will surely kill you!

Leave from here now!

It will get late!

I will leave!

To your father’s house!

I’ll leave darling!

What has happened to madam?

Despite hearing the thump of the vehicle

you didn’t come out?!

Do you plan on cooking well today?

What is all this…

Showing anger like a college girl!

I pamper you here…

You go around everywhere thrashing everyone!

Already it has fallen in your ears!

Was she here?

If you continue going around getting into fights like this,

I will poison your food!

Eat it and die!

You are capable of doing it!

I will explain, listen…

It was not my fault.

It was that Loki who keeps coming over and harasses me!

What does he do?

There is no supply of fish in the market.

We are selling it in the shops,

that too at a price that is lesser than theirs.

That’s why…

Not because I told you…

But don’t get into fights like this again!

Fine, go and cook!

Did your father teach you only to cook fish curry?

Not my father…

It was your father!

Brother.

Hello.

Can you come tomorrow?

The boss called for you!

Sure brother.

By the way…

Bring Pepe along with you.

Fine brother.

Manjanna had called.

He wanted you to come along too.

The ticket for the elections this time…

Looks like the boss will get it.

Let’s ask for the road tender.

If it is given, only then we will extend our support.

If not…

Let’s not even bother!

The road tender,

gutter tender…

Leave all that!

Ask them to open the stream.

Why are you always behind what is denied?

What will you do with that?!

If you want to mine the sand,

there are a thousand rules.

If you spend money on sand…

You will be buried in it, that’s all!

You have seen more of life than me.

None of us have ever measured that stream in money.

It has been 15 years.

If they want something from us,

then let them return what is ours.

Are you fine brother?

Yes dear…

And you?

I am also good.

How is everyone at home?

I will find out and come now...

Till then you stay here for a while.

Fine brother.

Careful Pepe.

I will be back soon.

Go ahead…

If you smoke, you will die soon!

You loafer, you son of a gun!

I am telling you only!

Throw it away!

What happened?

What?

What?!

Because I threw away your cigarette,

you are behaving like this?

So, the cigarette is valued over and above me!

He’s always obsessed about puffing away!

Wonder which b@$t@#d taught him to smoke!

You simply wasted one!

Will your father pay for it?!

I have waited for many years…

I can’t wait anymore!

Your folks will find someone for you…

Get married to him!

Will you then keep me as your mistress?

You have been to a place where they skin fish and meat!

How disgusting!

The people there are also humans, right?

What is disgusting about going there?

Shut your mouth!

Everyone is human!

Still…

Everything is designated to a caste

in terms of a profession.

Without foresight our elders

would not have formulated all this!

You elders conceived

only 4 occupations and 4 castes!

Later each of them was disregarded

distributed and grouped

and those who broke away from them…

Were people like you!

See…

This is why!

This is exactly why girls should not be educated!

Since generations,

we follow pious rituals and avoid being defiled.

With their perversity,

they demolish all that!

Let’s see where this heads… Leave it father!

How are you Pradee?

Is Sunitha fine?

Mother is fine boss.

Boss…

You called for us.

What is the matter?

What is it that you do not know?

I was just 25 when I became an MLA.

Then after Rayappa’s death…

Don’t worry, leave it!

There is no one here who will vote for Sada.

I could never see victory again.

Your people only let me down…

This time I am rooting for Manja.

They have made Manja contest.

Manju is not an outsider.

He is one of you.

Isn’t it enough if his people vote for him!?

You must ensure his victory.

In our hearts, we are with you only Boss.

But…

What we want…

You are not giving us.

It was only after we covered the stream

that the paddy fields received water,

they would be grown in blood earlier!

Good should befall everyone!

The ones who win

aren’t even looking towards the colony.

The forest dwellers are dying.

Even the light that shines in the homes of our people

are earned in earnest by them!

Our stream…

Ask them to hand it over to us.

We do have desires…

To sit as equals with all.

In seven months

there will be elections…

Within a month.

I will hand over the stream to you…

They must be bored looking at water,

that’s why they are demanding blood!

But there are two things.

First…

Regarding the stream…

There must be no altercations!

Secondly…

The one who stands against me…

Should lose his deposit!

To open the stream

Manjanna has agreed.

There are opening the stream, it seems.

Does it belong to Pepe?

Shouldn’t you consult the village folk?

The water is demanding blood again!

Let’s see…

Again, who will be taken where and how!

They are opening the stream, I believe!

No entry to the stream, Badanal By order

Ask him to close the stream…

Let it never be opened again.

Due to the one mistake that my father did,

even in their dreams

those b@$t@#ds who feared to oppose us...

Your family is one that bestowed the alms of victory on us.

Started winning!

You heard the news, right?

Are you happy?

That you should tell me!

I am feeling very happy.

That is enough for me!

After Sada and Manja win,

do you really think they will get our people’s work done?

Let’s see…

By giving them power once.

We are getting our stream…

You too are happy!

When we have what is ours,

whatever our people want

we can accomplish it ourselves.

What is ours!

Those who are ours!

At times…

Are you Pepe

or are you Rayappa, I wonder!

Basti.

Several years ago,

in between these two villages,

the stream that was flowing

Malabari of Basti

was mining sand.

Due to Plague to live in Basti

Rayappa and his people

to build a life for themselves,

they go and approach Malabari.

Treating them like beggars

Malabari gives Rayappa a small place.

Over a period of time,

it becomes Badanal.

Basti and Badanal…

As a grant for the land

Malabari exploits the dwellers there

and mined more sand than before.

As a reward for the work that Rayappa and his people did…

No…

They could not ever expect a reward!

The fact that they got land to house themselves

was a generosity!

Knowing that only land will

not take care of their hunger,

Rayappa and his brother-in-law Bhagappa,

in another part of the stream that was flowing in Badanal

start mining sand.

The water they touched to get a breath of life,

for Malabari and other

higher caste people

consider as poison!

And for those who look up to Rayappa as God…

It seems like nectar!

From the moment Rayappa’s hands touched the water of the stream

Altercations start between Malabari and Rayappa’s families,

they did not remain as mere fights…

They turned into wars!

Between the lands of Basti and Badanal

for the sand that was in the stream...

They were wars!

Fought for Malabari’s reputation

and Rayappa’s livelihood!

Starting from Malabari and Rayappa

and continued by their children

Dharma and Malpe.

One night,

Malabari takes his men

and gets the women and children of Badanal killed!

In that Rayappa’s wife too is killed.

Enraged by that

Rayappa’s son Dharma and his friend Guna

charge into Basti.

They do not wish to kill anyone else…

They just behead Malabari

and hang it outside the village!

As a revenge for his father’s death

Malpe kills Rayappa.

He who was considered to be the God of Badanal…

Rayappa’s death…

Where it happened

and how it happened

was a mystery to all

and continues to be one even now.

Living as if all these stories are forgotten,

Rayappa’s childhood friend and brother-in-law Bhagappa

sharing it,

preserving it,

stirring it up…

He is taking it ahead.

Both the families had forgotten…

Time had made them forgot it.

This is something everyone knows…

The revenge that is unaffected by love

there is no end, right?

You seem to have gotten the cold too!

How many more papers to go, little one?

It doesn’t matter however many there are…

What happened…

At your union traditional assembly?

It was not an assembly or anything great…

Why should I get into an argument with him?!

Your words have really hit him hard!

What else then?

If one talks rubbish,

should I keep quiet?

If you had spoken up from before,

there wouldn’t have been any need for me to speak.

Little one…

This afternoon, your grandfather

had called Sadamarsha.

You have completed studies

and have also found a job

saying why should we still wait

they are searching for alliances.

Mother…

I have some dreams…

It’s only after I fulfil that

will I think of marriage and the rest!

You are way past the age of dreaming!

When your mother married me,

she was just 14 years old.

If we look at it that way,

at this age,

you should have been a mother of 2 to 3 children.

All your antics won’t work henceforth!

This coming rainy season, be prepared for your wedding.

Tell your husband

that even if I am beheaded,

I will not agree!

If you don’t agree,

then he won’t be a human anymore.

Not that he is one now, anyway!

Leave all that…

For someone who dies on a daily basis,

who will shed tears!

What have you prepared for dinner?

Ragi balls and fish curry.

Don’t mention it to your husband and father-in-law.

They will surely poison that and feed us both.

That’s also true.

Has Dharani madam come sir?

The next class is mine.

She’s always late.

She will come. Don’t worry!

Why are you sneezing so much?

It’s nothing sir.

I have got a cold, that’s all.

Can I at least get you a tablet?

Take that and sleep awhile during the lunch hour,

you will feel relaxed!

Cold does not always go away in jiffy.

It will remain for a couple of days at least.

I don’t think Dharani madam will come.

Madam, here is the chalk piece.

What are the two of you doing here!?

Will the government be yours this time around?

Your being the caretaker of the stream…

I’m not at all happy about that!

Elections are afoot,

the government is to be formed.

We just don’t know what is going to happen.

All these days we were with Shetty,

now we can’t turn our backs.

Don’t believe him…

That Sada has a forked tongue!

How long are you going to stay here dear?

You have studied journalism?

At least to give value to that education

shouldn’t you venture out and help people?

The pen we hold,

it’s only when it’s ours, brother

that we can do good!

That pen is not ours.

Now everyone who holds the pen knows this.

It’s a question of survival.

Somehow, they are managing.

How did her mother die?

Something happened to the stove

and the house was set afire!

The colony has about a hundred homes

and yet you could not get a hospital built here?

If only there was a hospital here,

her mother would have been alive

to take care of her

she would have gone out and worked.

Brother…

Did you hear about it?

Teachers like you should teach others

how to hold women in high regard and respect them.

Teach that!

And also practice what you preach!

It’s on the path that the teachers take

that will pave the way for the students’ future.

The desire in men’s eyes

it is wrong if it is taken into one’s hands,

to that man

and to the society that the man lives in.

They just not happy to let us be in peace,

isn’t it father?

Nothing has happened…

Don’t make a big deal of this!

You first have a bath and come.

I am addressing you... Get up and go!

Since 22 years we die every day to live father!

What else are they asking for?

By strapping you to the chair…

They snatched away our happiness!

They took away our peace!

Is this still not enough for them?

After you became like this,

our smiles have died, father!

Don’t cry dear…

If you do, I will start crying too!

No father…

I will not cry.

Will your daughter cry?

I will not cry father.

We too have menfolk in our household

we need to show them that!

Narthu is here father!

Your son…

My brother!

First father…

Then husband…

Thinking that we will be quiet,

they are just inciting us father!

Where is brother-in-law, sister?

I have sent him for a bath.

They are continuously poking us like this…

We have no one to take care of us

they seem to think that Narthu!

First, stop crying!

I am here!

I will question everything!

Look here sister!

Grandfather, uncle,

father, brother-in-law…

I will demand answers for all of them!

From everyone!

Don’t spare them Narthu.

Don't spare them! - I won’t!

I won’t spare a single one!

In my sister’s eyes,

I had not seen tears till now!

I won’t spare that b@$t@#d Pepe!

I will speak to Shetty Sir…

Yes! [In unison]

Through the Panchayat

I will see if anything can be decreed.

What are all these young maidens doing here?

They’ve come looking for a groom!

Check if you are interested!

Fine…

I will speak to them…

You all can leave now. - Fine...

We will leave.

Since two days…

You did not even remember your home, right?

If I don’t remain there,

work won’t happen.

They are opening our stream mother.

I am getting scared…

Where he too, like you

will get transfixed by the stream.

Manjanna said

he will open the stream

we have to support him in the elections for that!

It will not be a desire…

But inevitability.

Don’t Pradee…

This will not do us any good.

Please don’t keep saying that for everything.

I don’t like it,

and you don’t go pursuing it!

That inevitability…

Let that never ever come!

Come Pradee… Let’s eat.

Don’t let them take what is ours!

To father and uncle, you said the same.

But who listened to my words?

Only people who have lost know

what pain is all about!

I am not thinking of bad things!

Till I am alive at least

please don’t pursue it!

It’s nothing but a cemetery Pradee…!

If you venture down into it,

there you’ll only find…

The corpses of the people who pursued it earlier.

You don’t talk nonsense.

I will go and finish the rituals and come.

Please don’t do anything I don’t like, my dear!

I will be back tonight.

We will talk then!

What did sister say?

What do you think she’d say?

She said not to indulge.

After waiting for so many years,

just when you are accomplishing it, you will spoil everything!

What has happened now?

Veeresh is Malpe’s son-in-law.

The matter has come to everyone’s notice.

Do you think Malpe’s people will sit quietly?

The matter about your fight

would have already reached bosses ears…

If he gets upset,

then you can forget about the stream and shit!

What is done is done,

let’s face what comes away!

Don’t take everything so lightly Pepe.

How do you think people from both sides, got buried Pepe?

That stream was the root cause of it all.

Don’t overthink it.

No one else will turn into dust!

Why have you kept the machete here?

Pepe…

There is an old saying…

Those pursuing the streams

the blood that gets glued to their hands

cannot not be washed by the waters of any ocean!

In matters regarding the stream,

your grandfather Rayappa and Malabari

were always at loggerheads.

This led to a lot of deaths.

The priest in our village then

was Raghavendra…

Your maternal grandfather!

You know Narayana, right?

He was the MLA then.

He went to Raghavendra

and once a year he called everyone

and started conducting a puja

so that no one fights and gets killed.

That was the mandate made!

According to that…

To the stream…

To the temple…

To others home…

One could not take weapons.

But…

Till today,

that has been observed only by us.

They…

Went beyond the mandate

and started slaying our people!

Your father too…

They killed like that.

Pepe!

Leave me father!

Pepe!

Pepe!

Father!

Please...

Leave…

It’s Pepe father!

Pepe!

Pepe!

Those pursuing the streams

the blood that gets glued to their hands

cannot not be washed by the waters of any ocean!

The curse on the stream is such…

What can we do?

It has started again!

How will it stop!

When will it stop!

Was it Malpe who killed my father?

To Manjanna…

If you yourself put in a word…

Tell me Chairman…

Should I spell it out for you to understand Manju?

Pepe had informed

Pepe should get released.

Manjanna is contesting

and he should be made to win.

Now you tell me…

If not, it's difficult to win!

Should I help you win or not?

It’s made news on television too, Chairman.

It’s very difficult.

It’s only when such things happen…

That they think of us.

Till our boy comes to the village,

you too don’t step in there.

I too am your lad, Chairman.

From your very town.

I don’t have people with me

because I am one who has lost.

If we need people

we need Pepe.

More than losing my son,

losing him to their family

is tormenting me.

Just one thing…

While you were watching with your own eyes

My son suffering and dying in agony…

Coming to the station,

It’s enough if you state that!

I will die in peace!

Please don’t disappoint me.

See…

If all the time you keep thinking about Narthu

you too will be bedridden, that’s all!

Isn’t it because of you

that our Narthu died!

If you had not touched that girl

he wouldn’t have hit you up!

Then nothing would have happened to our Narthu.

By now, he would’ve been married

and would have lived peacefully.

There is no one to help us, isn’t it papa?

It was I who killed Dharma

is what the villagers are all saying.

Please don’t worry.

Let’s go to the temple tomorrow.

Everything will become better.

Father!

Father!

Brother!

Don't brother!

Please leave him, brother!

Please leave him, brother!

Leave him, brother! [In unison]

Please leave him brother!

Brother!

Please leave him brother!

Don’t brother!

Please brother!

Brother, please leave him brother!

Please brother! - Leave him brother!

Please don’t brother!

Please leave him brother!

Please leave him brother!

Leave him brother!

Please don't!

Leave him brother!

I beg of you. Please leave my father!

Please brother!

Please don't do anything brother!

Papa!

Papa!

Papa!

Nothing will happen!

Why are such things happening mother?

It’s a curse, my dear!

A curse!

Again it will flow…

Again blood will flow in those waters.

Please don’t say such things mother!

What is to be done?

Please show me some way.

A death!

To calm those waters.

Nobody should die!

Everyone should live.

Let them live.

Please give a solution mother.

It’s not possible my dear!

It’s not possible!

A death is impending!

A big death is to happen!

Between your two families,

a big death is sure to occur!

That death…

Is the end of all!

Who is death is it mother?

You just say the word

and all their corpses will be lying at your feet!

Whatever it is we will face it later.

First let’s go home.

Remove your clothes.

He is my father's friend, right?

Yes.

He was.

Now he is associated with Malpe.

When Malpe bursts out in anger,

remembering us,

he will undress him.

I said remove your clothes!

Get the house vacated!

You could have come home.

The doorsteps of your house…

my chappals too will not step on!

If you need any help in future,

please come by.

This is my word.

That b@$t@#d Pepe

should not live!

The people of Badanal used to drink what we piss!

You are b@$t@#ds who have come from nowhere!

We showed you where the water was!

Those who used to crawl under our feet are now shedding our blood!

You are not one who will do anything without expectations!

I don’t have to die being indebted to you!

If Malpe…

Has sent his own daughter to Sada

it’s not only to kill Pepe.

There must be some other reason.

Long back I’ve lost my wife!

I am a man, right!

It’s a need of the body!

Can you see the blood stains?

I am able to see it.

There is no meaning if we have to kill another to live!

First stop thinking that only what we are doing is wrong.

Your intention was not to kill him.

Don’t overthink it.

Since that time

whatever work we have done,

has not made good people suffer!

Let’s face whatever comes Pepe,

I’m there!

How are you Pepe?

We will be with you.

I…

Sunitha.

People are talking rubbish.

Curse, blood…

Fights.

That day to save you

I had no other option.

Pepe!

Are you scared?

Grandpa and father have asked me not to talk to you.

I’m scared that they will see.

If you are scared,

why are you talking to me?

Even if I’m scared,

I will only be with you!

No!

It has started.

You decide how you will end it.

To save your people,

you don’t have to kill others.

Let what people say be proved wrong.

Even if their words are not proved wrong,

I will ensure that another death does not take place.

Beyond that too if it does occur,

then the fault will not be mine.

You people should not eat fish.

I love this fish.

And me?

I like you too!

Why are you sitting and looking at old photos?

Old memories, is it?

Simply.

How come you are early today?

I am purchasing Areca Nuts for the estate.

This year I plan to grow it.

Do what makes you happy.

I have not asked you anything

and will never ask.

Still…

How come all of a sudden?

Simply, for a change.

I am bored of catching fish.

Sindhu had come, my dear.

What about?

At home, they’re forcing her to get married, I believe.

She only wants to get married to you.

Tell her it’s not possible.

I have no faith in any other girl.

Go and get married to her.

Give her your word that you will be with her till the end.

Like how your father left me halfway,

you don’t leave her and go.

I have to tell you something.

Tell me Prabha...

I’m going to become a mother.

Why did you become silent?

To call me ‘father’ once more another life is coming.

We have to rear him well.

He should not become like me!

Why didn’t you help my father that day?

Due to that anger

if I kill the baby being born to you?

Or, if I kill you?

I am using my daughter

is what the villagers are all gossiping, my dear.

No papa…

You have shown me how to walk with my head held high.

Narthu is going to be reborn papa.

Let’s not spare anyone!

Let’s not spare a single one of them!

With you…

And behind you, I am here papa.

If we have to kill,

it will just take 10 minutes.

For the pain that I have suffered,

he should be made to answer.

More difficult than flowing rivers of blood

is wiping tears.

It’s becoming difficult for people.

We heard that they are going to barge into the colony.

The mistake was committed by me,

the consequences of that

should only affect me.

No one will listen to this.

The colony is also with you.

If you put your hand in something that will not yield profit,

you will only face losses.

All of you can only see the hundred metre fence,

but I see the water beyond.

That water is nectar

and it turned into poison after we touched it, I believe.

What we have to touch

and what we should not,

what we should do

and what we should not,

isn’t it we who have to decide that?

From our huts to the temple, that water has given us all.

It’s ours…

Isn’t life about saving what is ours?

For some dreams are like agriculture

profit is not the motivation,

but that does not mean that we will let go of it.

Will they trouble my people?

Rayappa,

Dharma,

Guna!

Pepe.

Tell them…

If they try to trouble our people

they will have to face me first.

For how many days will this go on for Pradee…

Please go and talk to Malpe once.

What shall I talk about?

They…

They are behind my life, mother!

Grandfather,

father,

uncle

and now me…

Whatever you have lost

they too have lost the same.

The fault lies with everyone.

I don’t want to lose you.

My father used to say

that the stream has a curse on it

under the water that flows there

lies an object belonging to a Demon.

For the Demon…

That is the breath of life!

Which is the life that has killed so many…

No one knows!

Till that life of his

comes out from there...

The flow of blood in the stream will not stop.

Go and talk to him Pradee!

We should not go to that village! If we go there… They will burn us down!

A death will occur.

That will be the end of all this.

If that death is mine,

will all this stop mother?

We came for your son

and we found you.

How many more graves do you have in your village to be covered?

Mine should be the last.

Father!

Father!

It's...

Father...

It's...

She is a daughter of our house.

I feel it’s not right to send her off like an orphan!

Leaving me alone…

Mother has gone so far that she can’t come back however much I call!

She has not gone anywhere, my dear.

They all are still here with us.

I am right here with you Pepe…

You are not alone.

We both are together.

I don’t want to lose anyone else.

They killed my father,

they killed my uncle,

I did not thirst for revenge.

They have touched my mother,

I will not spare them.

Sindhu!

Let go of my hand!

Leave my hand, grandfather!

Leave me!

Leave!

I told you to leave my hand, right?

Listen to my words and keep quite Sindhu.

I beg you, please be quiet! - Don't stop me mother!

Keep quiet Sindhu!

Sindhu!

Sindhu!

To listen to what you say

you have your son and daughter in law!

Don’t ever think that I listen to you!

Sindhu, please keep quite dear.

If tradition is more important than relation

today listen to my words.

I like him

and he needs me!

Even if anyone says anything, I will not listen!

Sindhu, please keep quite dear!

Telling me to do this, and not do that

no b@$t@#d here has that right!

Talk properly Sindhu.

Keep quiet man!

Out there

he’s lost his mother!

Even when he sees death and pain,

if your father’s heart will not melt

will he be termed human?

Sindhu, will you keep quiet!

Sindhu, please keep quiet.

First of all, you learn to live for your wife!

Sindhu, I beg you please keep quiet!

After that you teach me how to talk! - Sindhu!

Mamma… Keep quiet!

Keep quiet!

It must be because of this torture

that this man’s wife committed suicide.

Sindhu, you will not understand anything. Shut your mouth!

Who can live with such a man?

Let go of my hand!

Father-in-law!

With only demonly qualities, - Father-in-law! Don’t Father-in-law!

how do you worship God? - Don’t Father-in-law! Father-in-law!

Leave my hand man! - Don't father-in-law!

Open the door father-in-law.

At least, you tell him please!

Father-in-law will not leave her.

She is still a small child.

Please tell him! - Mamma!

Humans who don’t protect tradition

are demons only!

All your traditions have all died today!

I have spilt blood!

I have my periods!

On your land…

In front of you!

My child…

Sindhu!

Sindhu!

Where can I find Moggu?

What had my mother done to you?

Isn’t a mother the same for everyone?

I have promised your mother

that I will not allow blood to stick to your hands again!

Mother used to say the same to father, I believe…

Both of them are not alive today!

The one who has killed them is chilling…

It’s only we who have lost everything!

Gather some people.

Okay.

The sound in the colony

should be heard till Bangalore!

Everything is ready for the ceremony brother,

but getting people together is what is becoming difficult.

If we call all of them

right from the pension issue to the water issue,

they are only detailing their difficulties.

We should have done something for them.

All the people are swaying,

the SP was telling me

that in Sada’s case,

instead of Manja,

they are arresting someone else.

Manja is letting go of his seat, brother.

Will you take back your nomination, Shetty?

Let it go this one-time Manju.

To whom?

I am thinking of making Prabha contest.

Prabha.

Don't leave anyone!

Let's not leave even a single one of them!

My daughter…

Not even once

Have I heard her call me ‘father’!

I feel the desire

to hear my daughter call me ‘father’ to my heart’s content.

It’s not possible till you are alive father!

We worship Saraswathi

but still say that girls at home should not be educated.

We offer blood to Chamundi,

but say that girls should not shed blood at home.

There is no logic!

There is no logic connecting one another!

Poison!

It will pain!

Father!

Don’t father!

Don’t…

Don’t try to live.

What will you gain by being alive?

It will only cause grief to all!

From Rayappa, it has come till Pepe.

Somebody would have started it

and somebody has to finish it…

In between

how many have given their lives

and how many remain!

Those who remain…

Carry the story forward

the stories that have been left by the dead.

Carry the story forward Pepe.

Let the story continue…

The chair which is laced on Sada’s grave…

You have sat on it Prabha!

No one associated with Pepe should be alive!

The colony should not remain!

Brother!

Brother…

Brother!

MLA Prabha’s people…

have barged into the colony!

Rayappa…

They have entered your territory.

They’re hitting your people.

Don’t leave them dear.

Don’t spare them dear!

To make sure that this stream can be called ours

Rayappa has sacrificed his blood and left us.

That is the water

that both of us are drinking.

Somebody comes

and treats us like dogs

beats us

and kills us.

We should not spare them!

We should not let go of this.

It’s our stream!

Your grandfather…

Your father…

Now me…

And in future, you…

Have to protect this stream!

This is your stream!

What’s with you Guna?

Weren’t we in peace?

Why are you triggering them then?

What happened man?

Despite knowing everything

you are mentoring that young boy!

He’s a demon, man!

Your demon has sworn to God, I believe…

If Malpe doesn’t show some guts,

he will slay Guna!

Else he will shave his head, it is said!

The stream has a curse on it, they say…

Under the water that flows there

lies an object belonging to a Demon.

For the Demon…

That is the breath of life!

Which is the life that has killed so many…

No one knows!

Till that life of his comes out from there,

the flow of blood in the stream will not stop.

Wanted to ask you since a long time…

Why did they kill my father?

It was I who killed Dharma…

Is what the villagers are saying!

Why did you kill my father?

Please believe me Sada,

I did not touch Dharma.

Your father…

It was not me who killed him Pepe.

Was it Malpe who killed my father?

Bhagappa…

How many times should I tell you,

to not tell the child unwanted things.

Come.

Some people’s lives are like flowing water Pepe,

it will keep flowing

whether we govern it or not

from people to people

from heart to heart,

thoughts,

ideals

and the footprints that they have left.

Let the story continue Pepe.

Let the story of the legend of men who became Gods continue!

Be careful man!

Even if you believe God,

you cannot trust the priest!

(END BEEP)
