Look, Dad, food!

Hand it to me.

Come. Give it to me.

-Give me! -Hey!

Catch him.

Dad!

Dad!

-Son! -Dad!

Son!

Dad!

-Son! Son! -Move aside! Hey!

-Oh my! -What happened?

What the hell happened?

Son!

Son!

Anyone... Please bring some water for my son.

Sir! Some water...

My lord.

Maasha'Allah!

The large diamond will weigh more than ten raatis.

Those who dug the mud get in the ganji line!

Those who brought diamonds get in the mudda line.

Son...

Have this.

It'll heal.

Don't our lives have any value, Dad?

They're putting us through so much pain and robbing us of the fruits of our labor.

Everyone is exploited by those above them.

Our Dora loots us.

Then the Nawab of Golconda loots him.

And finally, the Mughal Emperor in Delhi loots the Nawab.

Then the Emperor is the biggest thief!

Doesn’t he ever get looted?

To loot all these looters,

God, who is above us all,

will certainly send someone.

He will come and loot them all.

Please, someone save us!

Oh no! A small child is caught in the current!

No one knows whose child he is...

but somehow, he’s ended up at our temple.

What a strange sight!

A scavenging eagle has spread its wings to shelter him.

Guruji, should we give him a horizontal mark since we found him,

or a vertical one because Lord Garuda brought him here?

Neither. He's a divine manifestation of the Mother Goddess herself.

In time, he will devote his life to the people.

Establishing justice will be his life’s mission.

Are you saying he’s destined to be a king?

He will be something greater... a soldier.

He will become a servant of the people, praised by the masses.

If this child is destined to be a great hero,

please grant him a name worthy of his future.

He's a hero, just like you said.

He has the blessings of Lord Vishnu, Lord Shiva and Goddess Adi Shakti.

He's Hari Hara Veeramallu!

Long live Alamgir!

Either the throne...

or the grave.

God gives two choices to the royal family members.

The one who worships devoutly becomes king.

The one who questions goes to the burial ground.

Aurangzeb...

God treats everyone equally.

So...

will you disrespect Khuda by honoringKafirs, who are not of our religion?

Have you already decided Islam means nothing to you?

Khuda’s blessings are not bound by religion.

One reaches God only through love.

Go then, Padshahzada-i-Buzurg Martaba!

Dara Sikoh.

This Aurangzeb is releasing

your Sufi soul from your body.

It is His Royal Decree that, on this occasion,

the gift must be placed on His Majesty's tablecloth.

My son Aurangzeb has immense love for his father.

Oh God!

I will place this peacock throne in that old red fort of Shah Jahan.

I will prove myself worthy of the name Aurangzeb.

From this day forward, Aurangzeb shall shine

as the crown jewel of the Timurid dynasty.

Such is the history I create.

You want the throne?

Or a death warrant?

-Asif, Allah's messenger-- -Silence, Father!

Am I coveting this country for my personal benefit?

Why did Jalaluddin Muhammad Babur cross the Khyber Pass and come here?

What are you doing with his legacy? It's disgraceful!

Insha’Allah!

Our sacred flag must fly proudly over this Hindu nation.

Nature has another decree, Aurangzeb.

The future shows no mercy to those who ignore the lessons of the past.

Your madness will provoke the Kafirs.

One of them will cast you down from your peacock throne.

He might not even wear a crown. He could be a commoner.

Some day, he'll appear before you.

We'll see about that.

If the kafirs have such a hero in their blood, let him rise.

Let him come.

Sahib...

[in French] Welcome, Señor Tavernier!

Machilipatnam Bandar, the commercial capital of South India, is awaiting you.

How are you doing, Kasi Lingam?

Sahib... You're speaking Telugu?

How are your wife and deadlings?

Hope all are doing great, Kashilingam.

Deadlings?

Sir... You have mixed children and ritual food for the dead

like a tamarind rice.

This time, two ships’ worth of stock is ready for you.

This is Ratnagarbha, Sahib. It'll yield as much as you can haul.

Look at how they’re looting our nation’s wealth and taking it to foreign lands!

It's not that easy.

From now on, forget jewels and gems,

they won’t be able to take even a handful of dirt!

Do you think he will come?

He will definitely come!

[in French] Diamond!

[speaking Persian]

Sahib...

You have arrived with your forces. Is it for him?

These are very valuable diamonds. I won't let him get his hands on them.

Please come.

All yours.

A ruby is fifty-three paisa.

There are a thousand rubies.

You won't find better ones anywhere in the world.

The measure is a tola for ten paisa.

Sahib...

That's the same whistle!

-He's here. Get him! -Let's go!

I kept saying to the Sahib, "Hope he doesn’t come."

But here you are.

Many pray to God for me to come.

But you? You’re hoping I don’t.

Your plans won't work this time.

The Sahib has arrived with his army. And you're all alone.

They may come in herds, devouring everything in their path...

But one well-placed explosive is enough to cull that herd!

He came here to finish us. He won't leave until he's done so!

Oh my god! Big elephant!

Soldiers!

[in Hindi] Catch him.

You won’t escape from here!

Let's go! Shut your trap!

Hey!

The diamonds...!

Hey, hey, hey!

Shoot your arrows! Shoot them now.

That's a Palnadu sword, Kashilingam.

Lift it with courage.

Out with it.

Here you go.

What about mine?

Should I call you a thief for stealing it?

Or a master for returning it?

-Seems pretty light. -Huh?

Did you earn this through hard work? Or did you buy it?

You just stole it. That’s more than you deserve.

-These will suffice for that coal. -Coal?

When did you switch this?

I knew you'd go back on your word. That’s why I swapped the sack.

-Out with it. Come on! -My man...

Deceiving you was a mistake.

Here are the gold coins I promised you. Take them.

Just give me my stuff, and I'll leave.

What a relief!

You have come to your senses.

-Watch your steps. -As you say.

Hey! Who are you?

Who the hell are you?

Saira Begum...

Your voice sounds sweet. But the veil looks dirty. Remove it.

You look like a blanket draped over a buffalo!

What's the matter?

My name is Venkata Muni Manikyam. I am a diamond expert.

Seeing your daring feat at Bandar,

our young Dora asked me to bring you along.

-Does Young Dora mean a kid? -Huh? He's an adult!

-An adult? Then ask him to come. -Yeah. Huh? Here, listen!

Veera, Veera, Veera! Wait up, man.

Veera, they'll give me rewards if you come with me.

Dear Sadhus. One moment, please.

He will give you a bag of coins for this monastery. Please take it.

What do I even have?

Nothing but the turban on my head and sandals on my feet.

What will you do with such a big bundle wrapped around your waist?

Please have them.

May you have a good life.

How did this come about?

So, you stole it there to donate it here, is that it?

-You're a great man! -Hey!

You can also become great if you give me what's around your neck.

I beg from beggars. Leave me alone!

Tell me what the matter is.

The young Dora is calling you. If you can come...

-When? -On Sankranti day.

Sankranti?

Alright. Let's go.

Aurangzeb invited us here for a truce. Why isn't he here yet?

Instead of His Majesty Aurangzeb,

his envoy, Abu Suleman will attend the discussions.

I waited so long just to see him...

but I can't even see his shadow now.

Alamgir's greetings to the Maratha, Jat, and Rajput Kings.

Don't you know that kings discuss only with kings

and not with envoys like you?

Is your Aurangzeb afraid to face three kings at once?

Let him stay happily in the Red Fort.

So, what is the reason for this gathering?

The orders being issued by His Majesty Aurangzeb...

We are extending an invitation to the kingdoms

under Mughal rule to embrace our religion.

Any kingdom that chooses not to convert shall be required to pay the Jizya tax.

This is a tax that non-Muslim kings and their people must pay

in order to practice their own religion.

Agree to the terms and place your royal seal on these.

Silence!

Must we pay a tax to follow our own religion, in our own land?

Tell your Aurangzeb.

He and his forefathers should be paying us

for coming from elsewhere, living on our land and breathing our air.

Alamgir doesn’t accept “no,” “it’s not possible,” or “it cannot be” as answers.

It’s his custom to kill anyone

who gives such an answer and send them straight to paradise.

You dare threaten us?

People tell many tales about the valor

of Rajputs, Jaats, and Marathas, from China to Parswan, Yavana.

If he truly carries Mughal valor in his veins,

then let him face us, sword in hand.

If he does,

I will behead him with his own sword and place it in his hand!

I'll place it in his hand...

Who are you?

The name is Aurangzeb.

Servant of God.

Emperor of this universe.

An army without its king is like a serpent without a head.

Change your religion without groveling!

Accept servitude to the Mughal throne.

At least your lives will be spared.

Wazir, ready the troops.

We are marching to Deccan now.

This is my response to any king who refuses to change his religion

and to any kingdom that won’t pay Jizya!

Blessed be the conqueror!

Blessed be the conqueror!

Blessed be the conqueror!

-Sir! Greetings! -How many families are there, man?

There are twelve families in total.

They're from Thurpu Mitta!

Each house gets two bags of paddy, and two bags of husk.

You may collect them.

How will this last until next year, sir?

There's not enough grain.

We can’t offer even a mouthful to the dead for their final rites.

Please give us an extra bag.

Hey! You're making undue demands instead of taking your ration of grains.

Have you forgotten the drought when you survived on mud and buttermilk?

The family has grown, sir... This is all we have to feed them all.

What?

Why did the family grow?

Should I feed you just because you slept with your wife?

Sir?

The world’s better off when you stay hungry.

How can you say that, Dora?

Please reconsider, Dora.

This isn’t sufficient for all of us for a year.

Okay, let’s do one thing.

Let’s play the Tiger and Goat game for fun.

Three tigers will enter the battlefield on our behalf.

If fifteen of your goats can bring them down,

I’ll give an extra bag to every household.

What? Isn't that enough?

I’ll give you ten extra bags!

Ten bags! Come on, let’s play.

-How can we play? -Ten bags!

Dora, we don’t need any extra bags. Just give us our bags, that's enough.

You’re the ones who decide everything now? Go and play!

Is one missing from the count?

-Hey! Will you play? -He’s just a kid.

You stay quiet. You tell me. Will you play?

-Yes, I will. -You shut up.

-[both] We’ll play, Dora. -Go on.

Panchami!

Panchami! Panchami!

Dora is holding a tiger and goat match

between the farmers and the wrestling champions.

Dorasani is calling you.

Their poverty is these people’s entertainment.

Their hunger has become a spectacle.

-Tell her, I won’t come. -I won't come, I won't come.

I won't come, I won't come.

Cover that side!

Dad!

-Hey! -Finish him off.

Bravo!

They’re the ones who work the fields.

Our Dora feeds everyone here. Our mighty Dora.

Dad, the grains are spilling!

-Wait a minute, dear. -Dad!

Give that over here.

Oh no! What's this?

It's my beloved muthyala chandravanka.

It's okay!

Why don't you use yours to tie?

-Isn't this your estate? -Oh!

-Logic! -Let's go.

-What’s your name? -Sri Mahalakshmi.

Lakshmi, assume you've given your muthyala chandravanka

-to Mahalakshmi. -As you say.

Oh no!

That’s the tiger’s grab.

Tiger and Goat! Our Dora's fun time

Oh no!

-Well done! -Oh no!

This doesn’t feel like a game.

Everything is just a game for our Dora.

-You, come here. -Mr. Muni Manikyam?

Fine, keep watching. I’ll go inform Kotappa Dora.

You guys join the game.

We can’t play, Dora.

-Please give us our bags. -Hey!

Stop the supplies.

Hey! Stop. Put the bags down.

Everyone, listen carefully!

Only the winner gets the grain.

Not just one or two bags.

Whoever defeats my tigers...

Gets all the bags here!

-[together] We can’t play, Dora! -Go on, play!

Can I play?

-Who are you, man? -It's me!

Is he on your side?

Yeah, I’m on their side.

You said you’d give all the bags to the winner, right?

I’m on the people’s side. I’ll play.

How dare you look our Dora in the eye? Lower your eyes!

-Dora, I brought Veeramallu... -Is that him?

He says he’ll play.

-Go challenge them! -Sir!

-Sir, please, just let us go. -That won’t work.

You must play with him.

Why are you backing off when I'm with you? Come on!

Let’s crush the tiger’s paw!

They won’t come.

Looks like these goats are scared.

They don’t want to come.

It’s okay. I’ll play alone.

I’ll play alone.

Will you face three tigers alone?

Three tigers mean nothing to me.

Send all of your tigers.

I’ll take them all down at once!

Can you defeat all 15 tigers?

They’ll finish you off.

Until now, you’ve seen tigers devouring goats.

Now you’ll see a savage tiger hunt other tigers!

Panchami! Come fast!

The warrior is here! The warrior is here!

The warrior is here!

I want to sacrifice his flesh at the Mukkala festival tomorrow!

Tell me, what do you want?

I want to look Dora in the eye.

-You may look. -Not just me.

How long?

I've been calling your name. What were you doing?

-I was talking to the parrot. -Hey!

Don't try these tricks with me!

I haven’t touched you because I want to marry you.

No matter where I am, you must stay beside me.

Be prepared.

I’ll explain it to her. You go.

-Explain! -I will!

Panchami...

Escape if you can. If not, adapt.

There’s no other way.

I thought you were his sister or daughter...

Never imagined this.

Let me ask you since you like me.

Why are you staying in a place you dislike?

I'm an orphan!

I was raised by concubines.

When he saw me dance in the temple,

he paid those who raised me and bought me.

I can't adapt here.

Can you help me?

Will you help me escape?

Will you take me away from Dora?

I’ll take you away.

Son, in the mines on the banks of Krishna...

the hard work is ours.

The control is ours.

Yet Qutb Shah reaps the fruit.

Only the small diamonds belong to Dora.

If it weighs more than ten raatis,

Dora has to personally take it and hand it over at Golconda.

It's like a postman's job. Isn't it unfair?

A procession’s marching to Golconda to hand over the diamonds to the Sultan.

You must steal them on the way

and hand it to our man at Surat port.

I’ll grab it before you can hand it off.

No one will know your hand stole it.

Exactly! You've grasped it!

Twelve diamonds in total!

Twelve diamonds? How did you find out?

Sir, I didn’t tell him.

Does someone have to tell Veeramallu about the diamonds?

Your payment for robbing is...

One diamond!

What’s so funny?

I might be taking the diamonds from you...

but I'll be stealing the Sultan’s treasure!

I thought you were fearless?

But not brainless!

Two? Do you know the value of those diamonds?

I’m asking because I know their worth.

Just one diamond could sustain all of you for five years.

No one would go hungry or be without clothes.

What I heard is true, then.

There are thieves who steal for themselves.

But you? You steal to give to others.

-Fine! Take two... -Two?

Do you know what else they call monsters in human form?

Qutb Shahi's army!

It’s not...

as simple as you think.

Would I accept if it were so simple?

It’s dangerous!

I only take challenging jobs, Dora.

Come one, come all!

Play the game and win double the money.

Come one, come all!

Don’t miss out on your chance!

Two becomes four.

Four becomes eight.

Eight becomes sixteen.

Come one, come all!

-Mine is on the moon. -Lord!

You are the only hope for them all, Lord. Harom Hara!

Hey! I won! I won!

-He is the lucky one. -Give it to me! It's mine!

All your money is gone!

Give me. Give me.

You've won double the money. Celebrate!

-Come one, come all! -Beat these two guys first!

These two are partners! They are one and the same.

-They are stealing all our money. -Hey, what are you talking about?

Hey! He looks like a porter inside the fort.

-How can he be my man? -Hey! You filthy-faced wretch.

-How dare you call me that? -Hey! You dent-faced fool.

-I'll kill you if you say another word! -How dare you grab my shirt?

You unnecessarily started a fight between these two.

It looks like they'll fight to the death.

Hey, go your own separate ways!

Did you think I'd keep playing with him?

Go! Go away!

Why are you looking at my face? Go. You have lost your coins. Right?

Come back here tomorrow with plenty of coins!

A talisman!

-Abbanna... -Yes?

Someone gave us a talisman wishing us well.

This doesn't look like a talisman.

Life isn’t a game of deceit and flight. I’ll teach you how to truly move forward.

Abbanna, Subbanna, Subbanna...

Who is this flagpole here?

Veeramallu must have invited him just like he called us.

Oh! Where is Veeramallu?

-All these are for you. -Really?

Have a seat.

Vissanna, your taste buds must be dead after eating bland prison food, right?

That's why I have some fish curry for you.

Look here, there's tasty prawn fry.

Eat.

That's why I brought you some country chicken.

-Isn't it? -Exactly.

It's a two-night journey.

The battalion will reach Saroornagar.

That's the right time.

Along with the diamonds, we must take that girl too.

What's the girl's name?

Panchami.

So, Panchami must be freed on Dashami day.

But, will Dora stay quiet if we take the girl after giving him the diamonds?

Who said we'll return the diamonds?

Our deal was only to steal.

They're not claps to strike whenever!

-What? -The waist is as sharp as a knife.

What?

Looks like there’s a knife at the waist.

Yes. It's my favorite knife.

It's very difficult not to lay hands on it.

You stop talking about waists and knives and tell me about the looting!

I'll take them away.

but they should vanish by the second watch of the night!

They will.

-Stay outside for a while. -[both] Okay.

[in Hindi] Attention!

What happened?

-The diamonds are in danger. -Danger?

You know about the theft at the Machilipatnam port, right?

That jewel thief is roaming around.

That's why, additional forces have been deployed.

Who is that foreigner?

He is Benjamin Morris, the Sultan's Dutch warrior.

He sent a message with his commander.

Morris is waiting near Charminar with his army.

Everyone, prepare for the journey!

Dora...

The guards doubled again!

Where is Veeramallu?

Get in!

-Uncle, guns. -We stole them.

Bravo! Only these are left!

A battalion that goes into Bhagyanagara,

is like a crocodile that enters a pond, son.

-We cannot endure it! -You cannot endure it.

Whether it's a pond crocodile, or a forest beast, it must be defeated.

[both] Uncle!

We’ve reached Charminar.

Why isn’t Veeramallu here yet?

There he is!

Faster!

Go!

Hey!

Where could he be?

Could he have run away?

Dora, I am here.

Here are the diamonds.

Diamonds!

Hey! Why are you here?

I'm tired, Dora. I'm tired!

Hey, hey, hey! We shouldn’t be seen together.

-We shouldn't? -We shouldn't! Do something about it!

-Anything? -Yes! Anything!

Dora! Oh god!

Dora! He ran off with both the girl and the diamonds!

We're doomed.

He stole the Sultan’s diamonds. Kill him!

Veera!

Hey!

Hey!

Veera!

You’re the first to lay hands on the Qutub Shahi treasure...

and live to tell the tale!

Veeramallu?

How many times have you looted Golconda’s treasure so far?

I haven’t kept count.

I heard you looted our treasure...

and gave it to the people?

It actually belongs to the people, doesn't it?

You should be hanged for what you did.

But do you know why we brought you here alive?

This...

is the rare diamond that saved your life.

It's like the legendary Shamanthakamani.

A light as bright as a mountain. Weighing at 180 rattis...

It's the Koh-i-Noor!

Isn’t it a glass stone, Sultan?

It’s clear that it’s a duplicate.

Where is the real diamond?

Back in Prataparudra’s time,

when Golconda was "Golla Konda,"

this Kolluru diamond ended up in Alauddin Khilji's hands.

From there, it passed to Ibrahim Lodi,

and from there to the Mughal Sultan, Zahir ud-Din Muhammad Babur.

After that, there was no trace of it for decades.

And now, it’s surfaced in Shahjahanbad, Delhi.

If you fulfill Tana Shah's desire, you'll never have to rob again!

He’ll gift you a diamond mine.

He’ll make you the Dora of that parganah.

Whatever treasure you find in that mine will be yours.

Whether you distribute it or keep it... is up to you.

So, you want this returned to Golconda.

Am I right?

Where is this diamond now?

At Qila-e-Mubarak! Lal Qila!

At the Mughal Darbar in Red Fort...

In the middle of Diwan-i-Khas!

While building the Taj Mahal for Mumtaz Begum, the Emperor Shah Jahan

spent four times that amount to craft a Peacock Throne for himself.

Crowned upon the head of the king of kings,

glowing like sunlight born of earth’s deepest core,

held close by the legendary Timur Ruby, is the Koh-i-Noor.

It’s our Kolluru diamond, right? We’ll bring it back.

It's not so simple!

Do you know who is sitting on that throne right now?

It's Badshah Ghazi! Shahenshah-e-Sultanat!

Muzaffar Muhi-ud-Din Muhammad Aurangzeb Alamgir!

You must retrieve that diamond from Alamgir’s throne.

You’re offering me a diamond mine for just one diamond...

I understand its value.

This isn’t about the value, it’s about our self-respect!

Trying to restore Golconda’s honor and reclaim the Koh-i-Noor,

seven trained warriors have laid down their lives.

Seven trained warriors?

Instead of sacrificing me at Red Fort...

Why can’t you hang me in Golla Konda?

I’ll die in the place I was born.

There’s only one Koh-i-Noor on this earth.

To bring it home, we need a weapon of destiny, like Lord Rama’s arrow.

We believe that it's you.

You’re the one who mastered all 64 traditional arts.

You walked away from Charminar only because it wouldn't fit in your sack.

Or else you’d have claimed it by now...

Gulfam Khan! My quickest soldier!

He has been monitoring Shah Jahanabad closely for the past three years.

He knows every inch of the Red Fort.

Veera!

Alamgir will kill you if you’re caught stealing the Koh-i-Noor.

We’ll kill you if you come back without the Koh-i-Noor.

If you try to run away with the Koh-i-Noor...

Portuguese war hero, our Alphonsa...

He can’t even touch the verge of my garment!

Pardon me, Tana Shah!

Every year, you send turmeric-soaked rice

to our Lord Bhadrachalam Sita Rama.

That’s why I respect you. I will bring it back.

You said it’s Golla Konda’s pride, right?

I will bring it back to restore it.

It’s the Kolluru diamond found in the Krishna River basin.

It belongs to our soil.

I'll bring it home.

[heroic hymn]

-Peace be upon you! -And peace be upon you, too.

Who are all these people?

He's Abdullah! The Nawab’s most trusted man.

He’s coming with us.

I don’t need muscle, I need wisdom.

-What do you mean? -I want my team!

This one's for you, Abbanna.

We grew so close to Veera in just a few days.

I never thought he’d leave just as quickly.

Veera, I pray to God that at least in the next life, we get to share a drink.

May this bring peace to your soul.

I'm not afraid of the demon on the tree!

I'm not afraid of the demon on the tree!

Idiot! I'm alive.

Veera.

-You’re not hurt, are you? -No.

Who are they?

Those idiots work for Qutb Shah.

Qutb Shah’s men?

So, you sacrificed us for your own survival?

Look, see how he's staring! He will kill me with numerous stabs.

-You’re going to sacrifice us? -Hear me out.

-I’m talking. Why are you hitting me? -Listen, you fool!

Hey, fix me a drink first!

We must go to Delhi.

-I’ll explain why later. -I will not come!

Leave me. Hey, Veera!

I ended up in jail because of you.

Going to Delhi with you would mean I’ll lose my head for sure!

-I'm not coming. -Hey, stop it!

Veera, we're alive,

and our families are safe, all because of you.

-We trust you, and it’s your call. -Hey...

You said you wanted wisdom...

They seem like they lack wisdom.

Oh, I didn’t know wisdom required being tall and built!

Such a moron. Listen here, you numbskull...

What good is a man’s size or power if he can’t stand by his own family?

We'll handle the task you’ve given me.

If not, tell Quli Qutub Shah to handle it himself.

These are the approval papers we need to stay in Delhi.

What's this? It's written in Arabic, I can't understand it.

Very well! Where do we begin?

Through Burhanpur, Bundelkhand, Gwalior, and Delhi.

[in Urdu] Your Honor!

The eighth man has started from Golconda.

He must not reach Delhi alive.

They’re two mountains ahead of us.

We have to catch up to them.

March!

Hey, Gulfam!

It’s not safe to go any further.

We should take a roundabout path.

Why?

The birds are fleeing.

The lake is still and calm.

A threat is imminent.

Come, we shall take a different path.

Taking the path you're suggesting will add an extra 20 miles to our journey.

We won't reach Delhi at the expected time.

We'll never reach Delhi if we continue on this road!

We shall see!

We're in your hands now, Devudu. Forward!

Oh, no!

Damn those diamonds of yours!

Oh no!

If I fall now, there’ll be nothing left to find.

Right?

Where did they go?

Hey guys! Why did you stop there?

You rushed in like a young man.

Learn from my Uncle.

How to keep your mouth shut when you're old.

[in Hindi] Gulfam, are you alright?

Gulfam!

History remembers more who perished

by ignoring the caution than those who heeded it.

Dimwit!

We must listen.

We must listen to Veeramallu.

Must listen.

Hey!

[in Hindi] Stop that noise.

Enough of your performance. Eat this.

Abdul! Roast it properly.

Properly!

Why are you staring, Gulfam? Do you mean to threaten me?

Are you angry?

I have seen many like you.

Munimanikyam, please tell him

not to underestimate me.

That idiot won’t stop staring at me.

Abbanna, Subbanna.

What’s your deal, man?

Wild animals roam here.

-I shall keep watch until the first hour. -Oh?

Alphonsa will watch over the rest of the night.

They’ve got these morons standing guard tonight.

We leave early in the morning. Everyone sleep now!

Hey! Why are you aiming the gun at me?

Maybe because I am ahead of you all in heroism and bravery...

Damn you all!

So, you were going to kill me in my sleep?

Munimanikyam isn't afraid of these weapons!

I’ll place my life on a platter and fling it!

Mind your actions!

-Oh dear! Veera! -It's here.

Good Lord! What are those vile creatures?

Shall I fetch you a platter?

Be quiet!

Have you looked at the size of those teeth?

Be careful, Veera!

Why did you stop me from shooting? It was right in front of my gun!

It's not fair to invade its territory and take its life.

-Get lost! -Veera.

Veera.

What magic did you do with your eyes? They just left.

I spoke to it.

-You spoke? What did you say? -Yes.

It asked me why I was in its territory.

I said that because you are much better than those animals out there.

Then it laughed.

-It laughed? -Yes. It laughed loudly.

Then it asked me who these dirty people are.

-You mean us? -Yes.

I said that they are my friends.

It came a little closer and said, "Look, Veera, you seem innocent."

Really? "Be careful with these nasty people."

Then I laughed loudly.

So, you laughed too?

-You didn’t catch that? -I felt it clearly.

-It asked me again. -Again?

It asked me politely,

"These nasty and dirty people seem to be full of fat. May I eat them?"

Then I said, "You just called them nasty and dirty. They'll upset your stomach."

It said, "You're right, Veera." Then, we both laughed loudly.

Well said!

-You and the beast? -Yes. Why?

-Didn't it feel like it? -It definitely did.

I advised it to return home safely, as it was already quite late.

It gave me a long stare, and two kisses before leaving.

-Kisses? -Yes.

You spoke so much in so little time, huh?

-Why not? Isn’t it possible? -It is.

Hey! Gulfam. Stay.

Except for humans, no other animals in nature seek violence by choice.

They only kill out of hunger or fear.

They won't kill needlessly like you or him.

Get lost.

I looked into its eyes and said, "We won't harm you."

It believed me and left.

Long ago, there was a man who could speak to animals with a look.

That was Prophet Suleman.

Saint Francis of Assisi once saved a village in Italy from a pack of wolves

simply by speaking to them through their eyes.

How does he know these tricks?

Where did he learn them?

Veera!

-Who does this belong to? -A girl was here two days ago.

She was very beautiful, just like the moon.

-This might belong to her. -W... Where did she go?

I think she went towards Reva Bazaar.

-Reva Bazaar? -Yes.

People sell stolen goods there. It's a thieves' den!

-Everyone there is a thief. -Oh, no. Thieves?

Yes.

These poor people seem to be scared of thieves.

Give it.

That poor girl might get caught over there.

Why don't you help her?

We don't have to help her, we'll have to help her victims!

-Yes! -Come on!

-Diamond. -Where?

Over there.

That’s one rare diamond!

-What price should we quote for it? -Price?

We can even offer our lives.

For her diamond-like beauty, or her elegance?

-Hey! -Majestic!

[both] So majestic!

Bravo. What's all this drama, you sly devil?

Hey!

What?

You handed me over to the Nawab

and you’re out here dancing like it’s no big deal?

That's right, Veera.

-Ask her, Veera. -Hey, you shut it!

Hey, the least you can do now is tell me the truth.

-Visanna. -Veera.

-What is the punishment in this case? -We stitch their mouth.

We tie them up in a dark room.

No! No! I will tell you the truth.

I needed money to save other courtesans like me.

I wanted to steal these diamonds

and use the sale proceeds to buy their freedom.

That's why I pretended to fall in love with you.

Oh my...

So, that’s the way it is.

Pretended to...

fall in love. Huh?

Pretended.

Alright.

Let's go.

Where?

What?

Where to?

Shut your mouth and come with me.

-Come. -Why are we taking this...

deceiver with us?

I've fallen in love with his girl.

Keep walking.

Hold on, Devudu. What is it, my boy?

You need water?

Come.

Take it.

-Hey! -Oh, no!

[in unison] It's water!

I'll give you, children. I will give you all.

No pushing, please. I will give it one by one.

Wait. Don't fight.

Why don't you listen to me? We may spill it.

Oh no!

Didn't I tell you? We'll spill the water?

I did tell you. Didn't I?

-Why did you-- -Please wait.

It's alright. Come.

Don't cry.

Come, son.

I'm sorry.

Please forgive me.

Are you new to this area?

Northern India has never seen a famine like this in a century.

Vissanna.

-Everyone, open those bags. -Open. Open!

Have these too.

Have it.

Take it.

-Kiddo! Eat this. -This one's for you.

-Please eat. -I'll take leave.

Eat.

[in Hindi] Brother.

-Yes, dear. -Due to a lack of rains,

we had no harvest this year.

Nobody is bothered about us.

I don't know where you came from.

You gave us water.

You fed us and freed us from hunger.

I will pray to Lord Allah that

you reap success in whatever you are seeking.

Your prayers will not go to waste.

Have faith.

-What's going on there? -A big ritual.

A ritual for the rain god.

[reciting a Sanskrit sloka]

Praying for this barren land, scorched by drought to be filled with greenery.

They’re performing a sacred ritual, to appease Lord Shiva

he who bears Goddess Ganga upon his head.

Your Honor! We couldn't find them.

No matter where they hide,

I won't spare them

You kafirs!

This is the Mughal Empire! You can't have these rituals here.

Usman Khan!

If he’s come all the way from the Deccan, he must be here for us.

We shouldn't stay here for a minute longer. Come!

Hey! Wait for a minute.

Abbanna.

♪ A wild elephant full of pride Shaking the ground as it runs ♪

♪ The goad is sharp, the leader’s smart Only the brave can win the part ♪

This wildfire won't stop.

They will burn into ashes along with the forest.

Come! We're leaving!

♪ Come, while the demons gather Like storm clouds ♪

♪ Come hurl your rage Like thunder through the sky! ♪

You started a blaze to stop the Mughal soldiers from disrupting the ritual.

And now, that same fire may claim our lives--

♪ Who is he? Who could he be? He’s a riddle in plain sight ♪

This should bring the famine-stricken villagers some joy now, right?

It treats all living beings equally.

♪ A thief who shared every single penny For others' sake ♪

♪ Hari Hara Veeramallu ♪

♪ Hari Hara Veeramallu ♪

♪ One man like him Is all it takes to turn the tide ♪

You protected not only the sacred ritual...

but our faith in God.

This isn’t mere rain.

It's the Ganga Abhishekam, poured upon you by Lord Shiva himself.

Whatever your mission is, may it succeed.

May you be victorious.

Wait, Veera!

Who are you?

-He is-- -Hey!

Why are you asking again? Don't you know?

He’s just a common thief.

Common thief?

How would a common thief know that it would rain?

Would a sage salute him?

Would he speak about such philosophical ideas?

You have saved us on the mountain.

You saved those animals in the forest.

Who are you?

Why did you take Veera to Dora?

Because he stole the diamonds from Tavernier in Machilipatnam.

You think you tricked Veera by pretending to love him, right?

Yes.

He came to Dora's notice when he stole the diamonds in Machilipatnam.

He struck a deal with Dora and deliberately surrendered to the Nawab.

All this time, we believed we were the ones taking you to Delhi.

But you are making us follow your lead.

Even though your words and actions are different,

we won't believe that you are a thief.

Tell us who you are!

Tell us!

That is a sacred offering, you will lose your eyesight!

-Please stop, sir. -Don't do this.

I beg you, sir!

Did you see this?

Leaving you in such chaos,

why didn't your gods come to save you?

You’ll be damned to hell!

Do you still have faith in this clay idol?

Change your God.

Or change your religion.

Alamgir's blessings will shower upon you. Shower of blessings.

You took what you wanted.

-Please leave this place. -Please leave.

These people won't heed our orders.

-Break this stone into pieces! -That is not a mere rock.

It's our deity.

The symbol of our faith.

I’ll shatter your faith right before your eyes!

Break it into pieces!

Even now,

my heart trembles in fear of what I saw.

A person like him...

I have...

never...

-seen before. -Maulana saab

is telling the truth, King.

That revolutionary is known as Veera.

Behind his courage

lies an unknown strength.

Do you know who that strength is?

Geography, architecture, and sculpture,

archaeology, and astronomy sciences...

These disciplines stem from the wisdom of the Gurukul’s five sages.

We are trying to destroy their Vedas and Shastras.

But those five sages

have absorbed them into every cell of their being.

Those five living and breathingVedas and Sastras experts

have become a shield against our efforts

to wipe out their religion and way of life.

And one of the warriors is...

Veera.

Veera will come to the defense of any temple we attack.

So, the Hindu society has finally awakened.

Veera is a small sword...

challenging our stone fortress.

If we don't hack the hand that held the sword,

many other daggers, swords and shields will rise against us.

If the people stop fearing us, we’re finished.

And that is simply unacceptable!

[chanting in unison] The teacher of the entire world,

the doctor of all the diseases,

the storehouse of all knowledge, we salute you, Lord Dakshinamurthy.

Get up, get up. Come with me quietly.

-Be quick. Come. -Get up.

Get up, everyone.

Quick. We need to leave immediately.

Get up fast!

-Come. -Open the underground chamber.

Keep going.

Fast!

Take this.

-Give it over here. -Careful.

-Dear! Dear! -Wait. Listen to me.

They'll join us. Come.

Your Honor! There is no one here.

Find them, wherever they are.

Shatter this sculpture into pieces.

You may break it now but we'll make them again.

Dear!

I’ll drag you all from here and lay your lives at Alamgir’s feet.

[in unison] Death sentence! Death sentence!

Praise be to God!

Death draws near. You're bleeding out.

But not a drop of sweat on his face.

The faithful bow their heads, praying for deliverance.

We don't fear death.

Kill us!

As long as this faith endures,

the destiny of Bharata's kingdom shall remain unaltered.

Today, that faith will end with you.

As long as Veera lives, our arts and sciences will live on.

THE CULTURE WE INHERITED MUST BE PASSED TO THE NEXT GENERATION.

Veera! So, he is the keeper of your faith.

Then, it is unfair to kill you.

Announce that the spiritual leaders are in our custody.

We shall see if Veera dares to come and save him.

Rivers flowing towards the ocean... that is nature’s way.

But when the ocean rises to meet a river...

That’s a sign of calamity.

Right before the Mahalaya new moon day,

such a calamity is rushing towards you.

Remember its name.

Veera!

God willing...

Aurangzeb will be waiting for it.

Once I crush him...

my sword will return to your throat.

I've promised everyone back home

that I'll protect my teacher's life as my gurudakshina.

I must go to Delhi for that.

I worked with Dora for the Nawab's benefit.

I stole in Machilipatnam to facilitate a meeting with Dora.

You want Koh-i-Noor... And I want my people.

Alamgir has Koh-i-Noor on his crown.

The sages are in captivity in the Red Fort dungeons.

Freeing both at the same time is impossible.

We’ll die if we try to get both.

Those sages they captured are no ordinary men.

They will pass their wisdom not just to this generation, but the next one as well.

Each one of them is a Koh-i-Noor in their own right.

I’ll gladly give my life to protect them.

But I refuse to gamble with your lives.

-We will meet again. -Veera.

Wait, Veera.

We accepted this task knowing full well it could cost us our lives.

Dying by your side...

is an honor!

Veera.

We are with you.

If you think we can contribute,

we’ll gladly walk beside you until your goal is fulfilled.

We'll reach the checkpost next.

You shall be allowed passage only after checking your permission documents.

Along with you,

take Abdullah,

and a couple of others.

Be careful of one thing...

Whatever may happen, don't let them know that you are Veera.

The rest of us will reach Delhi through Benaras.

Veera!

We’ve been so close all this time. Now that you’re leaving,

I am scared that I may not see you again.

I want to seek forgiveness with folded hands for deceiving you.

You wished to hold my hand and walk through life together.

I want to meet you again.

I want to journey with you till the end.

This is the Moghul checkpost.

Attention. Attention!

You are entering the kingdom of Alamgir, King Aurangzeb.

You have to pay the toll and jizya taxes on your entry.

Give the coins or go away.

-Greetings, sir. -Welcome.

You have to be careful here.

Maqbool Khan...

is the checkpost's head.

He's Alamgir Aurangzeb's distant relative.

They cast him out of Delhi

claiming his anarchy belonged at the border.

We must cross this station

before he sees us.

Why? What will he do?

He will hang us in the entrance.

-Do you want to get hung? -No need.

Why should we trouble him? Let's proceed calmly.

Come on. They will hang us with those ropes, it seems.

Let’s not get too full of ourselves.

[in Hindi] Hey, Kafir! Go from the other side!

Listen up, Kafirs. Do not enter from here. Take the other entrance.

All Kafirs enter from here and stand over there.

All this talk about Kafirs... But who are they, really?

Those who offer milk to snakes and worship stones.

-Do you mean us? -Yes, it’s you.

Alamgir has ordered that you must pay jizya tax for looking after you.

This path forbids Hindus from passing on horseback.

Pathan and I will use the Muslim doorway.

Enter without arousing any suspicion.

Move on!

Make it fast!

Idols beyond this point are not allowed. You'll be punished if caught in the act.

Hey!

What's in this sack?

Bloody Kafir!

Kafir!

Mom!

Mom!

Hey, move it.

Keep moving.

Move!

Move!

Keep moving.

Take it, please. Our hard work.

Stand upright!

Get going.

Are you trying to dupe us?

You can't take this inside.

[together] All hail the Bolenath! All hail the Bolenath!

Be quiet!

Stop the ruckus right now.

There’s no escaping punishment today.

How dare you walk in here singing praises?

Don’t you know music is forbidden in Alamgir’s kingdom?

Damn them! They are taking a lot of money.

What's the use of cursing them?

If a donkey is seated on the throne,

we must remit or pay whatever it demands!

Alright. Move on.

Get going.

Three members.

Give it to me.

There’s nothing inside--

-Father! -Dear!

Alright. So, this is nothing?

So this is what you've been hiding?

You! I told you idols are forbidden.

That... It's for the Puja.

It is not an idol. It's a crystal lingam.

-We use it in our daily prayers. -Shut up!

-What were you thinking? -Sir, sir!

Father!

Father!

Father!

Father!

Hey!

-Give it to me! -It's nothing! It's nothing!

Mother!

Please let us go!

Mother!

Come on. Keep going.

Is this a show for you?

Go on, ask your God to come. Why won’t you?

Brother.

Brother!

Not the horse or the elephant...

Surely not the tiger, either.

Sacrifice the lamb, the meek...

Even God kills the weak!

Even God wants us to live like lions and tigers.

One man...

He’s fighting alone, and you’re all just silently watching!

When your race and religion are under threat,

living passively is...

equal to being dead.

Dharma doesn't only mean singing hymns...

Dharma means...

standing together!

Hey!

Hey!

Go tell Aurangzeb...

To treat everyone equally.

What is your name?

Why?

I would like to add your name to my daily prayer.

You took a stand for justice.

Veeramallu.

Hari Hara Veeramallu.

Raise your voice for Mahakal Maharaj!

Hail to thee!
