Parvati, you have won.

Tell me what boon you want now.

Dear, your previous boon hasn't been fulfilled yet.

What other boon will you give?

I think, today you are in a mood to taunt me, Chamunda.

Tell me which boon I have forgotten.

Shri, Kal and Hasti, the three of them

sacrificed their lives out of devotion for you.

You granted them a boon that

a renowned pilgrimage will be made in their honour.

When will it be made, dear?

I..

I am Ardhanarishwar, Parvati.

There's no difference between your agony and mine.

Soon in Srikalhasti, you will be worshipped as

Goddess Gnana Prasunambika Devi.

And you may grant your visitors

devotion, knowledge, stoicism and salvation.

But how will it be possible?

Sati, when a person is determined to fulfil his promise

even the Almighty helps him.

Here a human will come to fulfil a Deity's promise.

That time is not far away

when the Vayulingam which has the power

to increase the lifespan of a person will be worshipped by all.

The normal forest will turn into a Tapovan.

A boy is born

to help many people attain their salvation.

The one who will end the evil and

establish righteousness again.

Which devotee are you referring to, Shiva?

You have so much faith in him.

Wow! So many mangoes.

Hey, it's such a big mango.

Thinna, you never miss your target.

It's a ripe mango.

Ketu wanted to eat it.

I only targeted it and took it down.

Eat up, Ketu.

Run.. Here is a lion.

Thinna, my chain..

What happened, Ketu?

The fair has started, let's go.. - Let's go..

Shamba.

Shamba.. - Shamba..

Today Goddess wants a human sacrifice.

Hey, Maremma.

Tell us.

What is the wish of the Goddess?

To stop the death tolls in our area

the Goddess demands a human sacrifice.

The Goddess is saying that she will save many lives

in exchange for one life.

Another human sacrifice?

This life is given by her

so what is the problem in returning it back to her?

Do you want the blessing or the wrath of the Goddess?

We want her blessings. - We want her blessings.

There will be a human sacrifice at the temple.

Sacrifice.. - Sacrifice..

Goddess, please save us.

This represents the eye of the Goddess.

Whoever this lemon will fall upon

that person will be the Goddess's offerings.

This tradition, which has been ongoing for decades

will never cease.

Wait, Thinna.

Shamba..

Goddess, don't sacrifice my child.

Instead of him, take my life as an offering, Goddess.

Shut up.

Sacrifice..

Now his life belongs to the Goddess.

He is sacrificing himself for our tribe.

Bring him here. - Sacrifice..

Sacrifice..

Sacrifice..

Sacrifice..

Ketu..

Sacrifice..

Sacrifice..

Sacrifice..

Father, what are they doing with Ketu?

This is our custom, Thinna.

Your mother died because of this disease.

It has spread in our entire tribe.

The death toll will end with this sacrifice.

Now bow down to the Goddess.

Does it mean they will kill Ketu?

Sacrifice..

Shamba. - Ketu. - Thinna, stop.

Sacrifice..

Sacrifice..

Sacrifice..

Sacrifice..

Sacrifice..

Sacrifice..

Ketu.. - Sacrifice..

Sacrifice..

Shamba..

Shamba..

Shamba..

Shamba..

Shamba..

Shamba..

Hey. - Shamba..

Shamba..

What is this?

No, it is not the Almighty.

It is not the Almighty.

It is not the Almighty but a stone.

It's a stone.

It's a stone.

It is not the Almighty but a stone. - Thinna..

Thinna. - It's a stone. - Thinna.

Thinna, stop.

It's just a stone.

Mother!

Mother, you used to say that God saves people.

Then why did Goddess

kill my Ketu, Mother?

Tell me. Why did Goddess kill my Ketu, Mother?

She is not a Goddess, Mother.

It's a stone.

Stone!

She is not a Goddess but a stone. - Thinna!

Thinna! Hey, Thinna, you shouldn't say this.

This is a sin, dear.

Say whatever you want to us.

But you can't disrespect God.

No, God doesn't exist, Father.

I would have killed Him if He had existed.

I would have killed Him. - Thinna.

Thinna.

Why are you so happy, dear?

He has thrown a stone, not a wood apple leaf.

Even if someone throws a stone for me

it is like a wood apple leaf, Bhavani.

But this child has become an atheist, dear.

How will he turn into your devotee?

Change is the only constant, Bhavani.

No one can guess from a seed to grow into a big tree.

Similarly, no one can predict that a drop of water

will turn into a pearl after going into the mouth of an oyster.

Even if Thinna hates me for his whole life

one day he will turn into my devotee.

Observe the shape of the stone that

was thrown by Thinnadu out of rage.

No. My child!

The hawk took away my child.

Save my child.

Save my child!

My child. - Someone please save my child.

Save my child. - Save my child.

My child!

Look there. - The hawk took away that child.

Thinna!

Hey, Thinna.

Thinna.

My child.

Your child is fine.

You have done a great favour by saving my child.

He is the Almighty for us, Thinna. - Hey, what are you doing?

He is not the one who saved your child.

Our Goddess saved him.

I'm a human being, that's why I saved the child.

If it were the stone, then it would have asked for a human sacrifice.

But I will protect everyone.

This is my promise.

It's Thinnadu's promise.

Today Thinna has saved Ganga's child.

He is like God to us.

Today's the day to celebrate.

Grandfather. - Yes.

Tell us Thinna's story. - You also want to hear it!

Then here you go. He has always been brave.

He hunts as if the jungle carved the skill into his bones.

Though his eyes are just like us.

But his eyesight is quite sharp.

When Thinna was a child, one day he went to collect wood in the jungle.

On the way, he encountered a ferocious lion.

At that time, Thinna was just six years old.

But he wasn't scared.

The lion was glaring at Thinna.

And Thinna was glaring at the lion.

As soon as the lion pounced on Thinna

he stabbed the lion's neck.

Then, the stick pierced through the lion's neck.

The jungle witnessed my Thinna's bravery.

Using the lion's bone, I crafted a strong bow for Thinna.

I crafted arrows using a deer's horns.

He started hunting since childhood.

He continued his hunting ventures.

Father, what is this?

How many times will you tell the same story?

These kids are tired of hearing it

even though you may not be tired of telling it.

Please stop doing all this.

No matter how many times I hear your story, it always seems exciting.

That's true. - Alright, Father.

Come, let's go. It's time to sleep.

Let me tell them one more story. - Yes.

Father. - Mallu.

Come on, let's go now. - You tell them. - Yes, please go.

We got to narrate such warriors' tales to the children.

Hey, Thinna, we failed to hunt today.

Let's do one thing. Let's divide and search for it.

Hail Lord Shiva.

Hail Lord Shiva.

Who are you?

You don't seem like someone from our village.

You're so tall.

Why are you quiet?

What happened? Can't you speak?

Are you deaf?

Are you arrogant?

I have found a rabbit, Namali.

Come on, hurry up.

Thinna, I have hunted a deer over there.

Thinna.

Thinna.

What's wrong, Thinna?

I was mesmerised to see a girl.

But I don't know where she disappeared.

She disappeared!

Was she a ghost?

I can become a ghost for her.

Who are they? How did they enter our area without our permission?

We might fall if we lean too much.

If we try to stand properly, our heads might get chopped off, Sage.

What a shame! - Please stop, Lady.

Who are you?

I crossed the Swarnamukhi River and came here to civilize you all.

I see. - I am a scholar.

I am a sage.

And I am here at the request of the queen of this village.

Sage.

Accept my greetings. - My greetings, Queen.

I am Pilaka Chawareswar Sharma.

And his name is Gilaka Tankubhattu Sharma.

She is my daughter, Namali.

What is this, Namali?

Why have you applied so much white ash on your forehead?

Did you wander in the cremation ground like Lord Shiva?

Who told you Lord Shiva wanders only in the cremation ground, Mother?

Keep quiet!

You always talk back to me.

How many times do I need to remind you that

only women rule in our tribe?

Only we have the right to use the sword.

Who will protect our tribe if you get busy with worshipping?

What about our rights?

Lord Shiva was the one to give us that right, wasn't he?

Did you hear her, Sage?

She worships Lord Shiva while ignoring her duties.

Sage, I want you to train her to rule

instead of worshipping.

Make her the greatest queen of this tribe.

Even greater than me.

Of course.

I taught the lion in the same way

and turned him into the king of the forest.

Alright.

It's your responsibility to make my daughter the queen of this tribe.

As you wish. - As you wish.

Sage. - Yes?

Forget what mother said.

I dream about the Vayulingam every night.

Show it to me once. - What are you saying?

No one can get near the Vayulingam because Bhadragan protects it.

Who worships the Vayulingam then?

Mahadeva Sastry does.

The incarnation of Lord Shiva.

He has the blessing of Parameswar.

He has a grasp of 'Chaturved Vedang'.

When he is calm, he is the image of Srikalhastiswar.

When he is angry, he is like Kaal Bhairav.

Only he has the right to see the Vayulingam.

He is the greatest devotee.

I bow to the destroyer, the restorer

the one with a third eye

and a blue throat

and covered in white ash.

Hail Lord Shiva.

Oh, Supreme Lord!

I bow down to your aniconic representation.

On the land where you gave your blessings to Markandeya

and blessed him with the boon of immortality

while bestowing him the status of a 'Chiranjeevi'

I am standing on the same land today, Mahadev.

You live in Kailash.

But your grace has spread even in the South of Kailash.

You blessed the descendants of Sage Agastya

with the right to worship the Vayulingam.

The secret of this Vayulingam and Lord Shiva must remain a secret.

No one can cast his evil eye on it.

I'll neither let it get unholy or decay.

I promised to my father.

Keeping Mother Gayatri, the mother of the four Vedas, the witness

I make this vow touching my sacred thread.

I can kill anyone

to keep the secret of the Vayulingam safe.

I can even sacrifice my own life.

I swear on Lord Shiva.

I swear on Rudra.

What is this, Tikki?

You followed Maali's horse the other day as she swished her tail.

You were following Shivangi's horse yesterday.

You have no control over yourself.

You should be loyal, just like me.

The beautiful lady I saw in the forest.

Don't get angry. I only saw her once.

I'll get you introduced to her if I see her again.

Listen.

Tell me the way to the Vayulingam.

The way to that stone? But why do you want to go there?

What do you need the stone for?

I need it. Just tell me the way.

Go straight.

You'll see the Swarnamukhi River after crossing four tribal communities.

You'll find Bhadragan's tribe once you cross the river.

He knows the way to the Vayulingam.

Listen, Shivangi.

Does Maremma know that you love Maali?

She will kill me if she finds out.

I had a long journey and I am thirsty.

Can you help me quench my thirst?

Of course. Here you go.

This water can't satisfy my thirst.

Only a woman can satisfy my thirst.

Come to me. - Go away.

Catch them! - Let us go!

Come. - Let go of me!

Come with me.

Hey, you!

Hey!

Don't attack from behind, Maali. Let them go.

Who are they, Thinna?

I have never seen them in our area.

Hey! Do you even know whom you have beaten up?

My brother will come. - Who is he?

Kalamukha.

Kalamukha..

Kalamukha..

Kalamukha..

My brother, Kalamukha.

He is not a human

but a demon.

Kalamukha..

Kalamukha..

Kalamukha..

Only 50 of us had come.

You would have survived if you let us take the Vayulingam away.

But now, my brother will come.

He will bring his entire army.

He will destroy your households and the forest

and take the Vayulingam away.

He will behead everyone.

He will enjoy the women of your tribe and..

Kalamukha will kill all of us if he comes here.

We must not be scared.

Lord Vishnu's incarnation Bharaha rescued Mother Earth from the ocean.

Since then, we have been punishing the demons for their sins.

We have faced all of our rivals till now.

Whoever will try to ruin our peace, will surely get punished.

I just hope the Goddess blesses us and he never attacks us.

He has a giant army.

How will we fight them, Chief?

Listen! No matter how many of them come, we'll fight them.

Throwing arrows is not as easy as bragging.

You must venerate the Goddess if you want to win the battle.

If she gets furious, she'll drink the human blood.

All of you will die!

Well, she said one thing right.

Everyone must die one day.

But the reason for death makes one unforgettable.

The reason for death signifies the purpose of life.

What do you think?

If wars were won by smashing pumpkins

and throwing lemons in front of stones

what would be the use of weapons and armies?

One ferocious lion can kill ten wild elephants.

And we kill the same lion with just one arrow.

We are the most powerful.

Each of us can kill 100 lions.

Just agree to the war.

We can eliminate all our rivals together

even if they number in the thousands or millions.

We will fight. That's my vow.

It is Thinnadu's vow.

Throw the lemon in that direction and smash the pumpkin there.

She thinks she can make us win the war this way.

Maremma is the root of the distress in our tribe.

I knew it.

You come and sit near your mother's tomb whenever you are distressed.

Thinna, it has been our custom for ages.

Don't doubt the power of the Goddess.

I don't believe in such things, Father.

I know.

That's why I never forced my beliefs on you.

I let you live your life the way you want.

But I think you should respect others' beliefs, Son.

I won't perform any ritual that I don't have faith in.

I won't just believe anything to please others.

Alright. No one can win an argument with you.

Here you go. Have your food.

I am not hungry. - Please don't refuse, dear.

Eat your food. Don't starve yourself due to anger.

All the five tribes must come together to fight Kalamukha.

I am enough to fight him, Father.

Thinna, it's stupidity to consider a rival to be too powerful out of fear.

In the same way, it's also a mistake to underestimate your rival.

Will the tribes come together to fight him while forgetting the past rivalry?

Everyone must come together

if the rival is strong.

Father, they might come together but not to fight the rival

but to fight among ourselves.

It's impossible to bring them all together.

I already conveyed the message to them.

They will come.

It's the order of the tribal chief, your father.

You'll also come.

What can I say now?

We welcome Chandadu, the warrior from the mountain regions.

Their very duty is to protect the Vayulingam.

We welcome the great warrior Kampadu and his Bhadragans.

We welcome the great warrior Mundadu and his son Bebbuli.

We welcome Pannaga, the leader of the Nila Pradhan tribe

and Princess Namali.

We welcome the great warrior Natha Natha

and his son, Prince Thinnadu.

Natha Natha.

Kalamukha is coming to attack your village.

Then, why have you called us here?

Why should we help you?

He is not just our enemy.

He is the enemy of all of us. - I see!

And his attack can destroy all the tribes.

He wants the Vayulingam.

And the Bhadragans are supposed to protect it.

Then why should we fight?

We know how to protect Vayulingam.

We do not need anyone's help.

We are neither the women of Pannaga village nor are we weak.

Shut up, Gavvaraju!

Our tribe has been ruled by women for so many years.

If you have courage, then fight.

Namali can fight with any of you.

Pannaga, you are crossing your limit.

Keep quiet and sit down.

If anyone says anything against Pannaga

I will tear him to pieces with my mace.

What will you do, Bebbuli?

Let's have a face-off.

Come on.

Calm down. - Come on.

We all have the same ancestors.

He divided this forest into five parts

and gave one part to each of us. Do you know why?

So that, we can stay at peace in our respective areas.

But we got involved in internal conflict.

Come on, let's forget our differences and fight together.

I request to all of you.

Father.

Why are you requesting them?

To protect all the tribes.

I have no problem in requesting people.

You won't compromise with your dignity as long as I am here.

I can destroy everything to protect your honour.

When the mother is in trouble

the children do not fight among themselves.

We need to come together to protect this land from Kalamukha.

Thinna is right.

This is a time of crisis.

Everyone must fight the enemy. - Yes.

We will fight together.

We will fight under the leadership of Thinnadu. - Yes.

Attack..

Bebbuli will become the leader.

Three people are needed to even pick Bebbuli's mace. - Yes.

Such a powerful person should become our leader.

The great.. - Shamba!

Raise your hand to vote for Bebbuli as a leader.

Me.

Raise your hand to vote for Thinnadu as a leader.

Thinna.

Out of five, three tribes have chosen Thinnadu as their leader.

From now on, Thinnadu will be our leader.

He has become the leader.

Father.

Yes, but he will remain the leader only if he stays alive.

My brother!

Tenkhana!

Hey.

You should chop off the head of the one who killed my brother.

And you just escaped from there!

Kalamukha.

It seems what has been said for generations is true.

The protector of Pottapinadu is still alive.

The warriors, the brave, the hunters,

the archers, are protecting the area of pottapinadu.

Bappaswamy.

Vayulingam can even bring dead people back to life.

You said that

the Vayulingam can turn sand into gold.

I will kill Thinnadu, the murderer of my brother

who went to take that Vayulingam.

I will completely destroy

Thinnadu, his people

tribe, jungle

and then bring Vayulingam here.

Lord Shiva, I have brought banana, melon, guava, and honey.

Wow!

You should eat to your heart's content, Lord Shiva.

Shishya. - Yes, Sage.

What do you think about her devotion? - Sage.

Look, I think if not us.. - Yes.

In future, someone will definitely come

to show Namali the Vayulingam.

Yes, even I think so.

Yes. - Alright. Do something.

Yes. - Before she arrives, give me a massage.

Hail Lord Shiva.

Hail Lord Shiva.

Hail Lord Shiva.

Hail Lord Shiva.

Hail Lord Shiva.

Hail Lord Shiva.

Hail Lord Shiva.

Hail Lord Shiva.

I got hurt at the wrong place.

What?

Hail Lord Shiva.

Hail Lord Shiva.

He's eating fruit like there's no tomorrow!

Let him eat, Sage. His arms are bigger than your thighs.

He will kill you. - You're right.

Hail Lord Shiva.

Hail Lord Shiva.

Did you see it, Sage?

Lord Shiva has finished all the fruits.

Yes, Lord Shiva has finished all the fruits.

Lord Shiva has eaten. Just see.

Lord Shiva.

Hey, are you the one? - Yes.

Don't you feel ashamed to eat the fruits offered to Lord Shiva?

Why would I be ashamed of it?

What will we eat if a stone starts to eat?

How dare you call Lord Shiva as a stone?

Then what should I call a stone, Princess?

Should I stab this dagger in your chest?

You are the only one in my heart.

There is no place for a dagger.

You're so tall.

You fell due to a girl's attack.

I can defeat an elephant with one strike.

But I fell for you the moment I saw you.

If you are really strong, then win the war.

Not me.

I will win the war as well, Princess.

And I will win over you as well.

This is my promise.

This is Thinnadu's promise.

Natha Natha.

I am here with the marriage proposal

between Thinnadu and my daughter, Shivangi.

Thinnadu doesn't believe in the Goddess.

He doesn't have faith in you, Maremma.

Why do you want him to marry Shivangi?

Now, Thinnadu is the leader of this war.

In future, he will become the leader of all the five tribal clans.

And my daughter will become the queen.

After their marriage, Thinnadu won't be able to ignore Shivangi's wish.

Neither will he be able to ignore my command.

Why are you blushing so much, dear?

You have been fighting with him till yesterday.

Now, you are only talking about him.

Though, I was fighting with him

but he is a nice guy.

He loves his tribe so much.

He takes care of everyone.

He is always ready to help.

He has strength, patience

honesty and good character. - Really?

Thinnadu has all the positive qualities.

Oh! - She has fallen for him.

Hey, so many fruits!

Wow! There are so many sugar palms.

What's so funny?

I have never seen someone throw a stone to knock the palms off the tree.

Then how should I do it? Show it to me.

I won't show it, rather I will teach you.

You must learn it if you want to be a queen.

Take this. Hold it.

Can you see that fruit?

I can see all of them.

Focus on the one you like the most.

Focus on that fruit.

Now what?

Aim at the fruit you want to get.

Done.

Now, hold your breath.

Done.

Shoot.

My aim was accurate, right?

You were supposed to take one fruit down.

You aimed it in such a way that all of them fell on the ground.

It looks so delicious.

Oh, no.

It's okay. I'm fine. Leave it.

I'm fine. - Oh, really?

You act to be strong

and you are so worried as if you lost your sight.

Father says that I have the same eyes as my mother.

I didn't get to be with my mother for a long time.

But I won't

let you go away now.

How long will we meet secretly, Maali?

We should get married. - Yes, we will.

We will get married after the new moon.

Thinna, move aside. - Yes.

Why?

Please move aside. - But why?

When your warm breath touches me..

How do you feel?

I can't explain.

It's something different.

How are you feeling?

It's a new sensation.

Something different.

Something new.

Then feel it.

Now, tell me.

Should I really move aside?

No.

Thinna!

Thinna.

What?

Shamba!

Shamba.

Maali.

Maali.

Hey!

Thinna.

What are you doing?

That's what I want to ask you. What's going on?

Will we get power by offering blood to this stone?

From now on, no one will be sacrificed here.

Thinna.

I'm ready for the sacrifice. - Shut up, Maali!

You shouldn't offer your blood to this stone.

Rather, you should slay your enemies on the battlefield.

Thinna.

This is an old tradition of our tribe.

You're insulting the Goddess by obstructing it.

A goddess can never demand the lives of brave warriors during a crisis.

You should rather respect the women.

The ones who don't ask for sacrifice, but instead sacrifice their own lives

There won't be a human sacrifice as long as I am here.

I will never let this happen.

This is my promise. Thinnadu's promise.

If we leave Maali, then what will happen to us?

We have to bear the Goddess's wrath.

Goddess?

What kind of Goddess is she?

Has she given birth here?

Has she brought up anyone?

A mother gives birth to her child, brings him up

and sacrifices her whole life.

Even an animal doesn't kill its cubs.

How can you regard a bloodthirsty stone the Goddess?

If this stone is a form of our Goddess

then it should kill our enemies to protect us.

If she keeps demanding human sacrifices

from each family in our tribe

then our tribe will not exist.

Do you regard a stone as a Goddess

who demands a human life to protect others?

No.

He is disrespecting the Goddess.

How dare you question our old tradition?

How can someone who doesn't respect our traditions be our leader?

Yes. - Yes.

Maremma's words represent the Goddess's wish.

How can you challenge her? - Is it the Goddess's command?

Shivangi loves Maali and Maremma is against it.

That's why she is asking for Maali's life.

This is a lie. - Shut up!

Tell the truth.

Hey, you can't say whatever you like just because I'm quiet.

Natha Natha.

Thinna is disrespecting our Goddess.

He is against human sacrifice.

He doesn't follow our tradition. - Yes, I don't follow it.

You bathe the stone that doesn't sweat.

You get a lifeless stone married.

You make a temple for the one who doesn't even feel anything.

You pray to the one who can't hear. But I won't do it.

I will never bow down before them.

Oh, really?

You are insulting God.

So, is it not wrong

to fool around with Namali, my would-be wife?

Who told you that I'm going to marry you?

Ask your mother.

I promised him.

I have the right to make decisions regarding your marriage.

No, you don't.

Parents don't have the right

to get their daughter married without her consent.

I have accepted Thinnadu as my husband.

And I will marry him.

You will only get married to me.

Let me see who dares to stop me. - Hey!

I will tear off your hand if you touch Namali.

Thinna.

There is a tradition in our tribe that

if two boys love the same girl, then

there will be a competition between them.

And she will marry the winner of the competition.

You both can use your own weapons.

I don't need any weapons to kill him.

My hands are enough for him.

Wars are not won with words but with strength.

Show me how strong you are.

Thinnadu...

Thinnadu.

Thinnadu.

Bebbuli..

Bebbuli.

Thinnadu.

Thinnadu.

Thhinnadu. - Bebbuli.

Thhinnadu. - Bebbuli.

Thhinnadu. - Bebbuli.

Thhinnadu. - Bebbuli.

Thhinnadu. - Bebbuli.

Thinnadu.

Thinnadu.

Thinnadu.

Thinnadu.

Thinnadu.

Thinnadu. - Bebbuli.

Thinnadu. - Bebbuli.

Thinnadu.

Thinnadu. - Bebbuli.

Bebbuli.

Bebbuli.

Bebbuli.

Listen, Thinnadu.

I'll kill you first

and I'll then marry Namali and make love to her.

And then, each and every man of my tribe will play with her.

Thinnadu...

Thinnadu...

Thinnadu...

Thinnadu...

Thinnadu...

Thinnadu...

Beat him! Why did you stop?

First, kill your father. Then kill him.

Then kill everyone in the tribe.

Natha, I am requesting the tribes to unite

but you want to turn them into our rivals.

Bebbuli, get up.

You were supposed to protect everyone but you want to kill others instead.

We decided to fight together but he wanted to kill each other.

We will never help you.

Natha Natha, we won't stand anyone dishonouring the Goddess.

Let's go.

Stop. Please stop.

Please don't leave.

The one who dishonoured the Goddess and disrespected the elders

and our heritage

he has no right to stay here.

You turned us against each other.

I expel Thinnadu right away

for ruining our unity.

Father, how can you do this to me?

You witnessed everything and you know the reason as well.

You can't hold me responsible for everything.

I have already made a decision.

You have no place in our tribe.

Get lost!

Father.

You used to visit your mother's tomb whenever you felt distressed, right?

If you don't leave, go to my tomb tomorrow to cry.

Chief, Thinnadu alone isn't responsible for whatever happened.

Reconsider your decision, Chief.

Wait, Uncle.

One shouldn't make a decision when angry.

It might cause the innocent to get punished.

The heart knows everything.

It knows what's right and what's wrong.

Namali. - Mother, let go of me.

I love Thinnadu and I'll marry him.

Let alone saying that, don't even dare to think about it!

Or else, I'll kill you right away.

Thinna.

Thinna.

Mahadev. - Yes.

God shapes the world, but it's our loved ones who shape our values.

You say so.

Will the one to quit both be your greatest devotee?

Indeed, Parvati.

The ocean water evaporates

and falls on mountains as rain.

The water falls down the waterfall and flows into the river.

Only to return to the ocean.

In the same manner, a person goes through a long journey of life

to return to Shiva.

He gains the purity to return to Shiva through the long journey of life.

Thinnadu has reached the final stage of self-purification.

Do you have so much faith in him, Lord?

Is the mother of the universe pretending to be unaware of this fact?

Didn't you recognize him

despite witnessing his skills, strength, determination and integrity?

Hail Lord Shiva.

Hail Lord Shiva.

Hail Lord Shiva.

Hail Lord Shiva.

Hail Lord Shiva.

Hail Lord Shiva.

Hail Lord Shiva.

Hail Lord Shiva.

Hail Lord Shiva.

Hey!

Kirata, this wild boar broke my penance.

So, I had to kill him. Take him away.

What do you mean?

Are you doing me a favour?

This prey and land are mine.

This wild boar is mine as well.

Get lost. - You are so arrogant.

You don't know you are challenging Arjun, the son of Kunti.

Are you Arjun? I have heard your name indeed.

Aren't you the one to cut the thumb of the boy

after finding out that he is a better archer than you.

Get lost or else I'll behead you.

Kirata, you are not just mocking me

but my entire family.

Only one arrow is enough to show my capability.

Are you such a great archer?

So, can you hit the hole in the tree far away before I do?

Archery is not your cup of tea, kid.

Take this sword and show your skills.

Such audacity from a mere person

to stand before the great archer Arjun!

Impossible. Who is he?

♪ Who is he? ♪

♪ He is the incarnation of Almighty Lord Shiva ♪

♪ Who is he? ♪

♪ He is the incarnation of Almighty Lord Shiva ♪

♪ Our deeds should be so good that ♪

♪ Lord will come to our rescue. ♪

♪ When He comes to this world in disguise ♪

♪ We all must devote ourselves to Him ♪

♪ He is the Almighty ♪

♪ He is the Almighty ♪

Arrogance leads to one's downfall, dear.

You can only win if you can get rid of this arrogance.

Mahadev.

Parameshwar.

Shivshankar.

I'm blessed.

When the Almighty Lord Shiva is standing

right in front of me

how can I win?

You have introduced the art of archery to this world.

What is the test for

when an ordinary person like me was doing penance to meet you?

It was necessary to check your capability

before I present you the Pashupatastra.

Accept it for which you have penanced.

Oh, Lord!

You have so many forms.

You're so compassionate.

Having a glimpse of your divine form

I forgot all my grudges.

Now, I neither wish to acquire any divine weapon

nor to win any battle.

Now, even I don't desire to go to heaven, Lord.

Show mercy

and accept me as your devotee, Lord.

Let me get salvation while serving you, Mahadev.

That's not possible in this life, Arjun.

You have to play a vital role in the

in the battle that is going to start soon.

You still have duties

to perform in this life.

But in your next life

if you follow the path of righteousness

then you will definitely get salvation.

Do I need to be born again?

I penanced for so many years to get Pashupatastra.

How long do I have to penance to achieve salvation, Lord?

Mahabahu.

You will be reborn as Thinnadu.

Then call me once with all your heart.

I will show you the path to salvation.

If there is a small stain on a completely clean cloth

doesn't it need to be washed, Ambika?

Arjun promised Lord Krishna to protect his sixteen thousand wives

after he died.

But he couldn't fulfil his promise.

And he has been defeated by the Koya community.

To atone for such sins

Arjun had to reborn as Thinnadu.

Someone needs to be pure before he attains salvation, Parvati.

Will he be able to attain salvation in this life, Neelkanth?

I'm Neelkanth, Parvati.

I'm ready to free Thinnadu from all his sins and make him pure.

I'm just waiting for the moment

when Thinnadu will realise I'm his father

and he is my son.

Pannaga, look

you have invited us here to teach Namali.

But she doesn't need this.

Namali, look

you have learnt the most important lesson of your life.

Now, you can fight against this society for your love.

Sage, shut up!

Pannaga.

You might have said my name wrongly

but don't make the wrong decision about your daughter's life.

Namali.

If you go against me

then consider me dead.

I have already made up my mind.

And I will get married to Thinna for sure.

This is my final decision.

Your father has expelled you from the tribe.

That's why you're upset. Right, Thinna?

That's not true.

I will jump in the fire if father asks me to.

I'm not worried about myself.

I'm just worried about my father.

Sometimes life puts you in a situation where you become alone.

You must endure pain as well.

And once you face it

you will have self-realisation.

You realise the value of relationships.

You get to know the meaning of life.

Neither do I have my father's acknowledgement

nor the tribe's support.

Why did you sacrifice everything for me, Namali?

You're my honour.

And you are my strength as well.

I only belong to you.

I can't even imagine a life without you.

But where will you stay?

Didn't father teach you

how to make a hut?

What will you eat?

You know how to hunt.

Who will you talk with?

I won't waste

my time in talking.

Should we get married?

Come on, let's go to the temple.

This is my mother's tomb. This is the most sacred place for me.

Mother.

We are getting married without father's consent.

Please bless us.

From now on, my life belongs to you, Thinna.

Namali. - Yes.

I am not like the clouds that will vanish after the rain.

I am like the wind.

As long as I am alive

I will always be with you.

This is my promise.

Thinnadu's promise.

Father, Kampadu wants to talk about something important.

Sage, Vayulingam is going

to get plundered.

We got this information.

A huge army

are coming to plunder Vayulingam.

What? This is impossible.

If someone tries to plunder Vayulingam, he will die for sure.

Don't worry.

Why should the one be scared who can destroy the whole world

with one look?

Shankar's protector must be getting ready somewhere.

Shivoham!

Natha Natha, the fight took place on the night of the new moon.

And now even the full moon night has passed.

But my son is still unconscious.

And you summon us here every single day.

After everything that has happened

how can you expect us to help you? - Munda.

For the sake of our unity

Natha Natha had expelled Thinnadu from here the other day.

If we don't fight together

then what is the point of his decision to expel his son?

I am ready to fight.

We should call the soldiers of our tribe here right now.

Yes.

What?

Enemies!

Attack!

Kill them!

Kill them, they didn't fulfil the Goddess's..

Maali. - Yes, Uncle.

Quickly get the women and children out of here.

And take them across the bridge. - Okay, Uncle.

Kampadu. - Yes.

Go and help Maali. Help everyone cross the bridge.

These mountains are connected by that small bridge.

All of you cross it first, then I will be there. - Alright.

As soon as I cross the bridge, cut the rope.

Make sure no enemy crosses the bridge.

Go. - Alright.

Pannaga!

Hurry up.

We have to go there.

Hurry up.

Come. Come on. Make it fast.

Hurry up.

Make it fast. Everyone, run. - Make it fast.

Make it fast. Come on.

Run. Come here fast. - Come on.

Make it fast. - Cross the bridge.

Come on.

Hurry up. - Come on, go ahead.

Maali. - Yes.

As soon as Natha Natha crosses the bridge, we have to cut the rope.

Be ready.

Come to this side, Uncle.

Hurry up. - Come on.

Make it fast.

Come on. - Make it fast.

Come here quickly.

Hurry up.

What's wrong, Thinna?

Father, why are you here at this moment?

I wanted to talk to you, Thinna.

Yes, tell me. - In this world

on one side there is tradition

and on the other hand, there is righteousness.

But righteousness is the most important.

Your expulsion was to protect the traditions not to hold justice.

It's right to tell the truth

without any fear and live your life with integrity.

And you have always followed that.

Why are you suddenly saying all these things?

To be honest

I also wanted to do the same but couldn't.

I knew that all the customs were not right.

But I was not courageous enough to protest.

I also wanted to learn from you to live my life with integrity.

But.. The children always idolise their parents.

But you are my idol.

Anyway, a child's future

does not only depend on their parents.

It depends on his own actions.

On his determination to lead his life with integrity.

But maintaining the integrity is not that easy.

The desire, ego, fear

and selfishness overpower it.

Life never remains the same.

The most important lesson of your life is

to differentiate between right and wrong and bring changes in life.

That I couldn't do. Don't compromise with integrity, Thinna.

Listen to your heart.

Think before taking any decision.

If you see someone crying

break the traditions to comfort them.

You know, when you were in your mother's womb

I told her that

she will give birth to an extraordinary boy.

He will make a name for himself.

Thinna, now you will make your father proud

with your talent.

My Thinna will come.

Hail Lord Shiva.

Uncle.

Father.

Your father was our idol.

We couldn't find his dead body anywhere.

But this river took us to him.

Natha Natha was a great person.

Without caring for his life

he saved the women and children.

He knew that he wouldn't be able to survive.

Still, he saved everyone.

For us, he was like a God.

Time is passing by.

We should make preparations for the last rites.

Father's last rites will not take place

until I kill the one

who killed him.

This is my promise.

Thinnadu's promise.

So, where's Thinnadu?

They says he's a courageous hero, so why's he hiding?

Can a rabbit hunter challenge you, My lord Kalamukha?

Kalamukha! Tomorrow atop Nandi hill I've already inscribed your fate.

Come read it for yourself.

Kill him...

Kalamukha, throughout many wars we've killed many warriors.

Even from so far, in the dark..

He aimed and killed the one by your side.

Thinnadu is not an ordinary man.

Listen, let's retreat back to our land.

Bappaswamy, we will retreat.

After we kill Thinnadu..

And steal Vayulingam..

But you won't come with me.

Thinna!

- Thinna! - Thinna!

- Thinna! - Thinna!

- Thinna! - Thinna!

- Thinna! - Thinna!

I wish I could bring you back…

even if it meant killing millions, Father.

- Thinna! - Thinna!

Stop Thinna!

This is your hamlet. We are all your people.

You are the chief of this hamlet.

Don't leave. Please stay back.

My father's final word was for me to leave the Hamlet.

Alive or not, his word is his word.

Om Namahsivaya! Om Namahsivaya!

What's this, Nemali?

You started this morning even before I brought a log?

Today is Shiva's Night, Darling.

Why call it night when this is clearly day.

Hail Lord Shiva. - How can it be night now?

Have you eaten anything?

I told, you today is Shivarathri. A day of fasting.

For you I could fast for rest of my life if you asked.

But not for that rock.

You say you didn't make breakfast but there's kheer.

I'm hungry. I'll have it. - Stop. That's for Shiva.

What is this? Can't I even have 'Kheer'?

I told you that's for Shiva.

Is it wrong to eat when I'm hungry?

This craziness won't stop until I chuck this rock into the forest.

Stop there, my love.

I won't argue if you toss me into the wilderness,

but don't lay a hand on Shiva!

Wow.

You didn't show such sorrow after leaving your parents and your home

but now you weep for this stone?

Is this rock more important to you than me?

Why are you so stubborn, man?

What did you say? Am I being childish?

Am I being childish or is it you?

You're talking nonsense.

Like everyone who believes in this stone. You're going crazy.

Where is he? What he look like?

What does he do? Have you ever seen him? Tell me.

Shiva is a perception. He exists everywhere.

He gave us our births. He is the cause of everything...

Oh, sure, the rock does all that.

He sets forests on fire.

He withholds rain so the crops fail and people starve.

The rock is behind the suffering of all mankind.

Do I have that right?

I don't know. I don't have the answer to your questions.

But Shiva exists. That's the truth.

It's all big lie.

You can't touch it, it never hears you, it never talks to you.

Just one big lie.

Did you test me for reality before you fell in love with me?

Then why put Shiva to the test?

I saw you with my eyes. Fell in love with you.

-That's not … -Anyways..

I'll go and hunt a tender deer and bring it back.

We'll prepare it and eat it together. Be ready to cook.

Fine, go. Even an ant doesn't sting unless Shiva wills.

His will? Are you challenging me?

Let me see how I don't get the hunt.

I'm not coming home if I don't get one.

Oh Master of world drama.

You said Thinnadu, an atheist, will bring Vayulinga to the world.

Mahadeva Sastry has no idea about your kindness.

One doesn't have faith in Vayulingam.

The other one doesn't let anyone come to you.

If this goes on, who will tell the world about the greatness

of the divine Vayulingam?

Mahadeva Sastry is a true devotee, Shivangi.

But he is too arrogant.

One doesn't believe... the other can't help believing you,

But Thinnadu could make it happen.

During this Shivaratri, Thinnadu must say 'Shivayya' at least once…

he would've attained salvation

and he could let the entire world have the chance to see Vayulingam.

But, we as parents should show the right path to the kids.

When did I say no to you, Parvathi?

But Thinnadu is blinded by his misconception.

He himself has to get rid of that.

Sometimes our perception of reality can be clouded by darkness.

I am always there to help the one who can differentiate between them.

The one who can't differentiate between them can't be helped.

If he doesn't chant Shiva's name today

he will never join with me.

What is this twist again Swami?

Rudra...

Harahara Mahadev!

At your order, my Lord!

He'll come back when hungry. Stubborn man!

-What, man? -Where is Nemali?

Hey! Why think of her now? She's elsewhere. Married.

Just be happy you've recovered.

She's married?

What, man?

I still won't let go.

I'll never be at peace until I violate her.

Wrong, Son.

By our village tradition a married woman is the same as a mother.

You were thought dead when he defeated you.

Are you eager to die again?

Instead of urging me to kill him, you say I'm dead? You die.

No, no.

Namo Bhuthanatha.

Namo Shakthiswarupa.

Namo Vayulingeswara.

This is your night. Mahashiva

The night, when you do your sacred dance on Mount Kailasa.

The Universe worships you on this auspicious night of Shivarathri...

Oh Lord of Time.

Bless me that my ritual be carried out uninterrupted.

Supreme Lord!

♪ Victory, victory to Rudra! ♪

♪ The fearless, victorious and auspicious one! ♪

♪ The one with eyes like the rays of the sun ♪

Oh no!

Who the hell are you?

Idiot! How did you come here?

You dare set eyes upon my holy Vayulinga?

Kampa! Kampa!

Why so angry?

You can whisper lovingly.

Kampadu can't hear you...

I handled everything before coming here, Shastri.

How dare you speak to me that way?

Do you know who I am?

None other than the Agasthya vamsha samjaatha,

aghoramukha archanaa vidhi vidhaana nishnaatha veda vedaanga…

paaritha Samstha loka janahitha.. parameshti hrudhaya pariveshtitha..

Bakhthaagresara, bhoosura panditha Mahadeva Shastri.

Oh no!

It is so complicated like Lord Shiva's chignon.

I'll call you with a short name like grumpy guy, old hag.

Silence! No one may enter this place.

It is tradition. It is law.

You must be the one who wrote that inscription, too.

Hold your tongue!

Those are Shastras written by sages.

Men rich in sacred energy. Inscriptions!

Letters are no more than weapons.

Did you create that alphabet and language?

Or did it your grandparents?

At the time of The Twilight Ritual, on top of Mount Kailasa,

when Parameshwara did the sacred dance

letters were born from the Symphony of Drums.

Thus Language was born.

Devotion was born even before these languages and grammar...

Shastri!

It seems your silk garments are more preferred by Agni

lord of Fire, than by Shiva.

Look there.

It is all gone!

Parameshwara..

The Lord of Kailash.

Bholenath.

Lord Shiva.

Mahadev.

Parameshwara.. Forgive the sins my Lord.

Om Namah Shivaya..

Hail Lord Mahadev.

Shambhu. Shankara.

Swami.. Who are you?

I am just like you but…

I have never seen you Swami.

I've been near, but you wouldn't have noticed me.

I'm hungry. Anything to eat?

Swami..

Today is Shivarathri. It's a fasting day.

I didn't even let my husband touch the prasad.

The caretaker of the home should feed God and husband?

The Goddess of Sustenance is the one who feeds Shiva.

Swami, this is not for you.

By the way, who taught you this?

Elders.

And who taught them?

Elder elders.

Well, I'm older than the eldest.

Do you blindly believe whatever I say?

Hey!

Who are you... kicking me?

It was an accident.

As I was coming toward you I thought you were alone.

Thought maybe to have word with you.

My stomach aches from hunger.

I'm in no mood for conversation. Hit the road.

Oh, I will!

At whom are you angry, though?

None of your business. What help would you be?

The woman I married won't let me eat.

It seems today is Shivarathri.

I have to bow down to some rock she worships, I guess.

And I have to call it a specific name, according to some mysterious rules.

What's the problem?

Once you say 'Shivayya' you'll find game.

Your hunger will be satisfied. Your marital squabble will be settled.

Aha! Nemali sent you, eh?

You don't know about me.

I don't listen to anyone.

I won't say the rock's name.

We'll see about the hunting.

I won't let your Shivratri observance be spoiled.

Can I give you some clothes?

No no no!

Not just any old fabric can be offered to Crowned one.

Only silk, the most sacred and sublime!

Doesn't that sacred silk come from a worm?

The waters of the holy Ganga you have there, don't the fish make it impure?

And the milk foam you anointed the lingam with,

do you know which calf had its mouth on it?

Have you offered that spittle to Shiva?

Lord Shiva didn't call it spittle.

Who the heck are you to cast doubts my devotion?

Is this devotion?

Who are you to hide this Vayulinga behind a tree or under a catacomb?

An incomparable devotee will arise to strip away your layers of ego.

Soon you will learn the true essence of devotion.

There is no greater Shiva devotee than me in all creation.

Fasting means not punishing the gut.

It means being closer to God.

Different methods for each individual.

You can't force devotion on someone.

Swami…

I don't know who you are,

but you talk like a maniac. Just like my Thinnadu.

It takes a man with a brain to talk with heated passion.

That's why he likes Thinnadu...

Swami, if you see my Darling on your way, tell him to come home…

It's my job to guide those who have gone astray.

You argued like this with your wife.

No one's in a good mood after quarrelling with his wife.

So much talk. Are you married?

Why do you ask?

Huh, you got uptight as soon as I asked if you were married.

If you were married, you'd know.

Once that chain is around your neck

it's not a bond that can be easily broken.

Is that a God's chain around your neck?

This is in memory of my best friend.

And proof that there is no God.

When that chain breaks,

then you'll see God everywhere.

Not in this life.

Wait! That stone looks like a Shiva Lingam.

Oh? If I put up my foot, will he strike me with lightning?

Let him try... I'll take care of him...

Call him.

Shiva himself should come down for that?

I all that deserves.

Namali, you will be mine.

Namali, see how I force you to come out.

Hail Lord Shiva.

I haven't been able to get a perfect aim since morning.

It's already perfect.

You don't believe in God.

But you performed all the rituals of Mahashivratri like a true devotee.

And you completed your veneration by breaking a coconut.

Did I worship?

Whom did I pray to?

Have a look. You worshipped the Vayulingam.

Vayulingam?

On Mahashivratri, you took a bath in the river first.

You have applied holy ask.

You offered wood apple leaves as well.

You even kept a fast unintentionally.

That's why you kept thinking about God.

I have misjudged you.

But you and your God have a different connection.

Neither do I perform any rituals nor is he my God.

This stone has nothing to do with me.

You have nothing to do with it

but still, you killed those who came here to plunder Vayulingam.

Did you kill many to save Lord Shiva or not?

I did everything for my father.

He is no different, he is also a father.

Father of this universe.

The final step is yet to be done.

Chant Shiva's name.

All your wishes will come true.

Where will you escape?

I won't spare you no matter where you go.

Namali.

Hey!

Namali.

Namali.

Namali.

Namali.

What happened?

Can't you find your wife?

I searched for her all over the forest.

I found such big footprints of elephants that

I have never seen it before.

Snake's skin and spider's web.

And that too big without an end.

I thought I knew everything about this forest.

But today I could not even find my Namali in this forest.

I can't understand anything.

There's no need to understand everything.

Pure devotion answers all questions.

Go and surrender yourself

in the one without his wish not even a leaf moves in this world.

You might find Namali.

You have tried everything you could.

Make a last try by praying to Lord Shiva.

He definitely answers to the sincere prayers.

He is very kind.

People regard a stone as the God.

God is as cold as stone.

I don't know that.

Namali believes in both of us.

But today, she

fought with me for you.

So, it is clear that

she loves you more.

Everyone believes in you.

But I could never understand you.

I didn't wish for anything before this day.

Today, I'm praying to you for the first time.

If you really exist then

tell me where my Namali is.

Oh, Lord Shivashankar!

The act of Shiva.

Namali.

Namali.

Namali.

Namali. - Thinna!

Thinna.

Please forgive me.

I shouldn't have left like that.

You have always wished to see Vayulingam.

Yes. - It's here.

Your Vayulingam. He has..

Lord.

You have blessed me after so many years.

That too by giving both of us the opportunity to have a glimpse of you.

I'm blessed, Lord.

Thinna.

So, we can visit it every day. Right?

From now on I will worship Lord Shiva here.

Why will you come so far?

Let me take this Vayulingam to our house. You can worship it over there.

Okay?

Thinna! Thinna, what are you doing?

Come on, Thinna. Let's go.

Come on.

What are you looking at? You haven't eaten anything since morning.

Let's go.

I made a mistake, Lord Shiva.

I was such a fool.

You were always with me but I never realized it.

It feels like I have wasted my whole life.

Look at me, I couldn't even chant your name till now.

I called you a piece of stone.

I said that I would challenge you when we meet.

But you didn't hold any grudge against me.

Now I get it.

In my words, thoughts, attacks, screams and victory

you were always there with me.

But till last night, neither could I see you nor I could understand you.

But when I embraced you

when I touched you

I forgot myself.

After mother's death..

The pain of mother's death which I have been bearing for years

it all vanished as soon as you touched me.

I was completely devastated after father's death.

But now you are with me.

My Shiva is with me.

Lord Shiva.

You have given me a new life.

Now I see you everywhere.

In raindrops, in clouds

in wild insects, in the trees of the forest

in the fruits on the trees and in springwater

in Bull's hump, cow's udder

in every corner of this universe

in the sky as well as on land

I can see your lingam everywhere, Lord Shiva.

You have so many names and forms as well.

Some are so small that they are not visible and some are

so huge that you can't see the end of it.

One needs to tolerate pain to know how it feels

and to understand life, one needs to live it.

From now on, my life belongs to you.

I won't go away from you.

This is my promise to you.

Thinna's promise.

What's wrong? Eat, Shivaiah! Here, eat!

Hey!

Who is it?

You sinner! Who are you?

How did you get in here?

Did you request entry or break in?

Hey! Kampa...

Sir. Cut out the racket.

Shivayya, who was eating fine up to now just stopped.

Never mind the nasty man's evil eye.

May the evil eye be cast away.

Eat another a little more Shivayya...

Kampa..

Master...

Swami...

Are you all security guards or the walking dead?

The other day it was him and today, this guy.

How did you let him into the Vayulingam sanctum…

that has been kept secret for generations?

Hey, sinner. How did you survive without being burnt?

Bhavudu hasn't set you on fire? Shiva hasn't killed you?

You have made the holy Vayulingam choke on your stench.

Kampa.

What are you staring at with your hands folded? Drag him away.

Thinna.. What is this?

What are you doing? How did you even get in here?

Kampa, Shivayya is hungry.

Let me just give him a morsel and then we'll talk.

It's wrong, Thinna.

You aren't supposed to be in here.

What's going on, Kampa. Enough talk. Drag him out.

Kampa, don't pay attention to him.

We'll talk right after I feed Shivayya a piece.

Kampa!

You don't understand. One minute! Shiva...

Thinna...

Thinna... - Grab her!

Leave off!

Thinna.

Let me go!

Let me go!

Who's this?

His wife, chief..

No one's been allowed in so such things wouldn't happen.

This is the only holy place chosen by Lord Shiva for the good of the world.

I have come to perform puja, Swami.

You fool!

You call offering meat to Paramashiva, puja ?

I am a hunter.

What little I have that is precious, I give to my Lord, Swami.

There is nothing wrong with my offering.

Swami, you've read the scriptures. Don't you know?

Hey! How dare you question Mahadeva Shastri of Agasthya clan?

Do you even know where Shiva resides?

In the land we live in..

In the air we breathe.. In the water we drink..

In the sky above us.. in the heat of tapas born in us.

He is in everything, Swami....

Cork your blather!

How dare someone of you perform shiva puja?

It's unclean!

Impure? - Hmm.

Everyone in this world is God's child.

I was born from my mother's womb.. you were born from yours.

Is there any untouchability in the holy mother's womb?

Hey, shut up.

No more talk with him, Father.

Kampa, what are you looking at? Beat him harder...

Thinna...

Thinna...

Thinna...

Why is this happening, Thinna?

You lived like a king while you claimed there was no God.

Now you say he is exists and you're treated like an animal.

I receive only the blow.

The pain belongs to Shivayya.

Oh no! Tears in the eyes of my Shivayya?

Shivayya...

Tears in the eyes of the ruler of the three worlds.

Tears that did not come when you swallowed poison to save the world.

What could bring them now, Shiva?

Goddess Parvati shed tears when the head of her son was cut off

but you did not.

What is so awful now.

Oh. Is it because they beat me?

Shivayya, can I tell you a secret?

Their blows were not even as painful as an ant sting.

Promise!

You don't cry... Don't cry...

Don't cry because of me.

Blood in the eyes of my Shivayya!

Blood in the eyes of my Shivayya!

Blood in the eyes of my Shivayya!

Blood in the eyes of my Shivayya!

This is a disaster.

Blood in the eyes of my Shivayya!

What did I do wrong?

What can I do?

What can I do?

A way.. There must be a way, Shivayya.

The medicine you taught us, Shivayya.

You replaced Ganesha's head with an elephant's.

Now I will replace your eye with mine.

The blood stopped flowing.

See Nemali? Shiva's eye has stopped bleeding.

What happened to her? - Crazy lady seems to be frightened.

What?? Shivayya!

Blood from your second eye?

Not to worry! Now I know what to do,

Give you my other eye for yours.

But, Shivayya

don't let the third eye start bleeding. I'm all out of eyes.

One second, Shivayya..

Nemali, I told you that

I will keep you always in my eyes and look after you.

But I'm breaking my word for Shiva's sake.

Forgive me Nemali.

But Shivayya is there to look after you right?

You will look after her, won't you?

Shivayya -

this is the last time I see you in this incarnation!

My dharma is fulfilled.

This life is blessed, father.

Don't get angry, Swami! I'll remove my leg in a jiffy.

Because I can't see where your eye is, Lord.

Parameshwara!

Shiv...

Shiv…

Shiv….

Shivayya..

Shivayya..

Shivayya..

Shivaiah!

Any task performed without expecting a reward is truly miraculous.

You gave me, with all my clairvoyance, your vision.

I now see the world through your eyes.

Thinna, now I will get to learn about everything in this world

including the right and wrong through your eyes.

Thinna! Your birth has become history.

You gave your vision to the one who gives sight to the whole world.

From now on, you will be famous around the world as Kannappa.

I was waiting for you to surrender to me.

But today your devotion forced me to come in front of you.

From today onwards here in the Sri Kalahasti Shrine,

your puja comes first, then mine.

May the whole world get to know about the depth of your devotion.

Your temple is high atop the hill as a reflection of your supreme devotion.

I don't want fame, Swami.

Free me of these birth bonds.

I can't bear the feeling that you and I are separate.

You asked me for this in your last life too.

I gave you my words.

How can I break my promise, my Arjuna?

Thinna.

Kannappa.
