''Hey, Little brother
You got a bonny baby girl''

Go tell that Bapineedu.. l spared your life
in the joy of my daughter's birth...

''What man, all these crowds flocking in their

People are coming in carts to attend..

Move fast.. What's the delay.
Put them down there.

''Listen, the baby's features are
just like the Madam, aren't they?''

''Look closely! Those eyes, that nose
.. Look just like the masters'..''

''Oh, no. Look at her smile, like the
goddess of prosperity, just like her mother''

''No, she's like the Master..
No, She's just like Madam.''

No...That's what bugs me.
What does it matter whose features?

'' lf atleast this one lives on, she may do well
even with my features.''

''Till now four babies born,
and died in birth.''

Wondering how this one's fate turns out
...there my brother is sitting..

'' .with the astologers, greatly worried.''

''Tell me, sir.
What do the stars foresay of the baby?''

Ah! Neelakantham sir! her birth star
indicates your girl has great future..

''Wherever she is, all wealth flows to her.''

''The six planets resting in ninth, tenth
and eleventh houses, with four of them ''

agreeing with the ruling star
all these good signs are evident..

''in your daughter's horoscope.
Due to her good fortune, now you have''

no fear of premature death.
You will live full hundred years.

''Sister, Sister, Sister .Did you hear
what the astrologers were saying?''

What did they say?

My daughter .. My baby has great future.
She will be belssed with great wealth.

''Because of her birth, My life span too has
incresed.l'll live my full term.''

''My baby, my goddess, my manna from heaven,
my golden child.''

But .. There's a threat to her life..
from ''water'' .. as per her horoscope

Like the previous babies that died
this baby too has danger to her life

until she attains the age of fifteen.

You never know in what form..
or from which side death will pounce.

''So, for these fifteen years,
you have to protect her like your own life.''

No. Stop it! To my little goddess born
to save me from premature death.

l can't bear the prospect of her death
Don't tell any more..

is a way to save my baby from

..the threat from water.

''Please pardon me, lady.
Mere learning can not alter destiny.''

''lf you can't alter fate,
what are you there for?''

''No, don't say that, sir. There is an idea.
Though we can't change fate..''

there is a way to do penance
for these defects in horoscope.

Tell me what it is. Should l give alms?
Should l do sacrifices?

Should l satisfy Gods? Tell me. l'll do!

''No, it's not that easy.
lt's a very difficult task.''

''No, it doesn't matter. lf it will save my child
from this danger, ''

She went home crying.

''Hey, Ganga stop.

''Then, there's going to be a
dead body in the village.''

''You scumbag, how dare you to

No, l didn't pluck them''

Then you lie on top of that? Why did

You useless fellow!''

Oh mother, it burns .. ''

''See, who hit her ..

Gangotri, what happened?Who hit you, tell me.''

Who hit you? Who hit you, Tell me''

Who hit you? Tell me, tell me.''

Narasimha! The fellow who drew the blood
of my darling girl can not remain alive.

''Tell me, baby. l'll get that fellow's
hands chopped off. Tell me who it is.''

Whoever it is, tell.''

Hmmm, as l was walking back from school ..''

Who hit you?

No one hit me. l stumbled against
the school gate and fell.

You don't have to worry a bit.
l'll apply this ointment.

Quickly. Do it wuick.

Sister look about that gate

''l'll look after this, brother,
why worry? Hey Dasu?''

What life is this .. l have to open the gate
.. l have to clean the rooms

l have to ring the bell.. lt's better to die than
live this Hindi teacher's life.

''Oh my, What's this? Neelakantham sir's
Sumos are rushing here?''

Oh, Why, you're removing the gate?''

''Because this gate tripped her, our
Gangotri fell down. So we trash it.''

ln case she fell down in the school ..

''With a single bomb, l'll decimate
the school. Go on ''

What terrible thing this is!

You'll trash the school?

''Good morning master. What happened
to the gate, Master?''

''lt got what's coming to it, dear. Look dear,
l implore upon you, ''

''if you ever fall in the school,
please don't tell your father so, okay?''

Okay Master. l'll tell him that l 've fallen
at your home as l go for tuition.

Master, Master, do you know this!''

What dear?

''For Gangotri , her father
arranged a special train from our village''

He'll arrange the train ..

And he'll arrange for bombs if the train
doesn't run. When does this train start?

''Tomorrow, master.
Tomorrow?''

''Simhadri?
Ah, coming.''

Neelakantham sir is like god! Even a goods
train doesn't stop in this station

ln such case, he brought this express train ..''

''Hey Obules, you don't understand.
Listen, l'll explain it to you very plainly.''

''This train stops here not for you,
nor for your wife, nor for my children.''

''Now, you know our Neelakantham sir's
daughter, Gangotri, right!''

''She must be taken to Gangotri every year,
right! To do that, one has to go to ''

''either Vijayawada or Hyderabad which
is difficult, right!''

''So, he directly went to Delhi, put a knife
to the railway minister's neck''

..and got this express train here.
That's why it's here.

Hey Teacher.

''Yes, sir. So, like that, our Neelakantham
Naidu sir , for our village ..''

''Stop your praise. .. Proceed.?/Okay,sir''

''Guard sir, guard, sir. When will this
train come back to our village?''

What, dear?''

''Passing seven states, it reaches Gangotri
and comes back after seven days.''

''This is a station, this is a stop .. Your wuestions
.. My answers .. All this my fate!''

Hey kids, all come here.''

We all have to do one thing.

What shall we do?

You all write down the names of people you love
on a paper and stick it to this train.

''When the train returns whose paper will
remain intact, only that person's love is true.''

Okay.
Okay.

''Ready?Come on.
Hey, Hey .. l can't see it ..''

To give up life for the sake of those
who feed us .. That's our family motto.

Well done .. Now you are my son!

What? ls this what you should be
teaching him? You should tell him

''to study well, bringing good name
to his parents and to his country.''

'' ln stead, do you want him to become
a slave to that house, like yourself?''

Suseela! Do you forget the help Neelakantham
sir extended when we got married

Like the swuirrell helping Lord Rama
you too should help that family

..and repay your debt.

First, will you do me a favor?''

What?
Please lift your head.

What's this, like the bell in the neck of Nandi?''

''Like Nandi is the trusted servant of Lord Siva,''

''you too are such trusted
servant toyour lord, right?''

True.

''When you lift your arm to kill some one
on his behalf, this bell will ring.''

Thus it will remind you that you
have a wife and son.

That you should live for the sake of
your loved ones ..

''Greatings, sir
ls the cash ready?''

''100 million is too big an amount, sir, so it
has to be brought from the head office''

''by the manager at 1 o'clock. l'll bring it myself
and deliver it at your home, sir.''

What the heck you deliver? You took six
months to prepare the check after

the track work was complete. Now to cash it
you saying 1 o'clock. Think this a game?

Please forgive this once, sir ..''

Okay. Even one minute past 1 o'clock ..
your family will be orphans - take care.

''Yes,sir.
Yes,sir''

Today is my sister's birthday. Wherever
l may go if l don't return to her on this day

''she won't even touch her food. So, l'll go.
Large amount. Be careful.''

''Sir, you going alone ..''

''Not me, no one can touch even my shadow.

Bapineedu! How long l've been trying for you
Our plan success. l told him

there's no cash in the bank and delayed
payment He left alone for his sister's

''birthday, that Neelakantham. There's no
better chance than this. Get him ..''

He won't enjoy his sister's birthday treats
l'll make his siter eat his death feast.

Best of luck

''Hey you, what's this conspiracy against
our Neelakantham sir? Tell me, tell.''

Don't kill me .. Don't kill .. l'll tell l'll tell.

''Hello..Suseelaa!
What, why're you in such hurry?
''

There's a danger to Neelakantham sir's life.

''Out side our village, at the 3rd milestone
Bapineedu's people plan to kill him.''

You must get to him before he
gets there and warn him.

You may not like him too much
but won't you do this one help to me?

l'm too far away.

Suseela! l didn't ask you for anything
since we got married. For the first time..

l'm asking you. Please go and save his life.

Please Suseela! l'll salute you.
Go and save his life.

Okay. l will go.

Where is the teacher going?

''Mom..
Teacher! Teacher!Teacher, please stop.''

Mom! Stop.

Neelakantham sir! Don't come. Stop there!
Stop there

Why's Suseela running this way?

''Neelakantham sir! Don't come this way.
No, don't come. Stop right there!''

Neelakantham sir! Don't come this way

''Stop right there. No, don't come. No, don't come.
Neelakantham sir! Don't .. Don't come.''

''Neelakantham sir,
they're looking to kill you.''

''Calm down Simhadri, don't be sad.''

My mother said one shouldn't be
depressed when faced with troubles

one should be strong

All my strength is my mother. Now
that she's not here..

''Narasimham, to save my husband's life''

this boy lost his mother..

''Though he lost his mother, l'm there for him.
But if we had lost your husband''

all of us would have been orphans!

''But, one thing bothers me ..''

What is it?

She got away from me the chance
of saving your life.

''Had l got that opportunity,
my life would have been fulfilled.''

''Come, let's go. Move.''

l'll come later.

You shouldn't stay long in the
house of death. That's misfortune .. Come..

''What, the kids are going out instead
of coming in! ''

Perchance the headmaster is dead or what?

''Yes, he's gone.''

''Where, ma'am?
Not to heaven, home.''

''Why, ma'am?
Look there''

''Fifteen days Gangotri holidays. Oh, just like
Sankranthi holidays and ''

''Christmas holidays, now there are
Gangotri holidays too.''

''No, l granted them.''

''This year, our Ganga should not miss
any classes for her X class. So,''

'' till we return from Gangotri if you try
to run classes, you'll be gone .. Straight up ..''

''No, ma'am! Why drag me in? Not worth it.
l'll die even if hit with a piece of chalk''

Go on.

What wonder .. This Neelakantham
who doesn't know anything but stabbing

'' and killing - how much he loves his daughter!
Till they return from Gangotri oh my,''

''oh my, the school shouldn't be open!''

''Hey, Gangotri is here. Gangotri is here.''

''No, Gangotri didn't come here.
We came to Gangotri.''

''Here, there are three
Gangotris did you know?''

''Here, take care of those pots and stuff..''

''You're one Gangotri,
this train's one Gangotri ..''

This place is another Gangotri ..

This kind of joking is what irritates me.

Where's that lame fellow
that always greets us?

''l arrived, ma'am .. l'm here .. l'm here..''

''Hey, are you well?''

''l'm well, ma'am. From the money you
gave last time, l bought these boots, ma'am.''

''They're nice, ma'am.''

''Hey, 'cause asked you, you want to
kick me with your booted foot or what?''

Even a lame fellow like you ..

He bought those boots with the money you
gave last time.He's asking if you like them.

''Hey, stop your nonsense. Hey lame! Did
you make arrangements for the full bath?''

''Super ready, sir.
Then moov ''

''With turmeric and vermillion,
with milk and perfume''

pure sandal paste and
divine nectars themselves

This sacred bath offered to Gangotri

''Oh, mother Ganga''

''Tell river Krishna, not to cause troubles''

''Tell river Yamuna, to always bring help''

''To Godavari and Kaveri,

the falling rain and the diving water fall

''Father Father..
Hey Gangotri, what's it dear?''

What's he carving?

''Not sure, dear. All there years we were

''lf you know, talk in English .. Or in Hindi ..

'' Telugu. Don't talk this piece meal
tongue, murdering all three languages.''

''Oh great, you know telugu?''

We live at pilgrim centers - can speak
many languages.

''Okay, so why are you carving these
names on these stones?''

This place is called the spot of rebirth.
Those whose names are carved here

they'll preserve the nods of this life
in the next life also - that's the belief.

Great. What land is this! Bring paper.

Oh sculptor! What do you charge
for each name?

''Hundred rupees, ma'am.''

''Not hundred. Take a thousand.
But carve my name, my sister's name''

and my daughter's name - these three
names there.

''Yes, sir.''

''Not this life, not next life, for many lives
to come, l should be born as a ''

''brother to my sister and and to this
golden father, this bundle of gems''

should be born as my daughter.
Carve them..

''Okay, move on .. Move on.''

''Hey Simhadri, you stay on and
get our names carved.''

Okay.
We'll go have some tiffin. Come

Then Simhadri's tiffin ..

''That's where l get irritated. He'll eat
some stuff here, move. Come on.''

You're always like this.

''Uncle, uncle ..

''Great, lame fellow. All these days l thought
there's no Telugu hotel ''

''..here in Gangotri.
So then, whose is it?''

Our village is Draksharamam.

''Then, it's next to our place ..''

''ln lndia, in all pilgrim centers there

Did l get fat eating your father's food or what?

''No, she's not making fun, ma'am.
She means to bring some water. ''

She's a muslim. Doesn't know Telugu well.

What nonsense! You employ a muslim
girl in a Telugu hotel?

''Not an employee, ma'am.
Mumtaj is my wife.''

Ah! You're a brahmin and you married
a muslim girl? That's what irritates me.

''What's wrong in that, ma'am? Didn't Lord
Venkateswara marry Bibi Nanchari?''

Oh Lord Srinivasa! Okay okay.
My stomach is growling. Bring tiffin.

Tell me what you'd like

Bring idli and vada for every one
and onion dosa for me.

''Hey mumtaj, put some onion on the dosa!''

''Oh Lord, what? You want her to
piss on my dosa?, dirty fellow!''

''No, no ma'am.
What l said in Urdu is onion.''

''Oh, even l know that.''

Why you eat vada first? Eat the idli.

''Oh, you already finished the idli?''

''Ah, you ate the vada too?''

''What hunger is this, eating like a
demon's sister!''

''What, oh my! What did l say now?''

''Did you see sir, how well he carved?''

''Gangotri, Durgamma, Neelakantham, Tulasi..''

''Hey, l ordered only three names ..

your wife's name in the hurry then''

''Though l forgot the bonds of marriage, the
gratitude you have for her reminded you''

Great Simhadri
Gangotri .. Durga ..

''You sculptor useless fellow. That middle
letter in my name is crooked, why?''

''Pardon me, ma'am. As l was carving

Okay then

You go on. l'll be there.

What happened Ganga?

''well, well, l don't know Hindi well, no?''

''Then, did that Hindi teacher beat you? l will ..''

''Today is the Hindi test.

''So, you won't go to the test and keep

''Oh,, that's the scene. Okay.

l'll elope with my teacher.

Really?
Yours lovingly!

''Here, it's time for the test. l'll give
you full cooperation. All the best.''

Ah! l'll give you punishment for coming
late to the exam.

''No, l didn't come to take the exam,
you fool!''

Then?

The daughter of the warlord of our village
is writing the exam here. She's poor in Hindi.

''lf she fails in the test, l who taught her ..''

l who's the invigilator and
the school hosting the exam ..

All these he'll blow up with a single

Go on to the doctor.

''Why did you kick him like that, not
considering he's your teacher?''

''lf another man touches me, should
l bear it or what?''

''So, can l touch?''

''Sure, but not here. After the exam, if you
come to the orchard, then you can touch''

wherever you want.

''Then l'll come prepared, okay?''

Sit down.. Sit down .. Silence ..

That's how l tricked the invigilator and
wrote the exam to come here.

''ln a little while he'll come,
see, our super lover.''

Here he comes.

''Hai .. Till now, she's been talking about
you only, sir.''

''Thank you, young boy.''

''On seeing you, even in first glance she
lost her heart, offered up her youth''

''she even lost her guava fruit, apparently.''

''Guava fruit? Whatever. l'm ready to
give up my life even for Ganga.. Here, Gangi''

''Who are your elders, What's your village,
What's your father's name?''

Won't you tell?

''Why, you want to fix the wedding?''

''My uncle's from Mogaltur,

''l'm your teacher, you're my student''

''This match is made in heaven, oh girl''

''Our story is Sundarakanda, oh girl''

''Why, what happened?''

''Gangotri had fainted in her house, l heard.

''Hey, That Simhadri idiot is coming.
Close the gates''

''Hey, open the gates. l have to see Gangotri
urgently. What happened to Gangothri?''

''From this day on, you can't see her.
Can't come here for Gangotri.''

Even Gangotri's name should not
come your mouth.

Why?
Gangotri came of age.

''Tulasi, All the ladies have arrived.
Go bring Gangotri.''

What Gangotri is not ready yet?

''Without Simhadri, she says she
doesn't want this celebration.''

''Unless Simhadri comes and sings,
she won't come out, it seems.''

''Why, how come Simhadri didn't
come yet? Hey, where is Simhadri?''

l only told him not to come.Why's he
needed at this function?

''Cha Cha, stop sister. Since she's a baby,
he looked after her. Till yesterday..''

''they roamed together.Why prohibit him?
Look here, to make Gangotri happy''

Trees and birds will bless her

''ln a garden on a plant, a flower blossomed.''

''Like a wueen, like a goddess it smiled''

''Many colored flower, not seen sunlight''

''Beautiful flower, full of many virtues''

''Which temple it will adorn,
the God shall bless her''

''The flower will worship,
in God's own temple''

That flower will be happy

''ln a garden on a plant,
a flower blossomed.''

''Giving it water, shading it like a shelter''

''ln rain and shine,
the gardener adores her''

''Won't he accompany her always,
There's no other God ''

The gardner is God himself for the flower

The bond of flower and the gardener

''Like a wueen, like a goddess it smiled''

lt should smile on forever

The sky, and earth, The brook and stream''

Trees and birds will bless her

''Hey you, the water is heating for the bath.
First, pour some water into this tank.''

Okay ma'am.

Lata, How is Simhadri?''

Why, that's why l came.''

''Hey you, see if that stove is burning
or not. Oh my Oh my, throwing..''

''dirt in my eyes, how did you get in
like bandicoots? Just now, l went inside..''

''for a minute. What, did you bring some
message from that Simhadri fellow?''

No ma'am.To give this book to Gangotri ..

''No books wooks to be given. Look here
once the girl attains puberty, all this..''

running around and games can't go on.
She will not go to school any more.

''lf she wants to study so much, the teacher
will come home and teach. Okay?''

''ln the name of studies or books, if you
or that Simhadri fellow turn up here''

''You see that stove, l'll break your limbs
and stuff them into that stove. Go on.''

Go die, curse your mothers' wombs ..''

''l feel like seeing you, won't you come
to my house immediately?''

Now?

l need to talk many things with you.
They won't send me to school any more.

l heard. All are asleep. Come over immediately.

This late at night ..

Okay.

''Simhadri, l'm very sad. lt's been a full week
since l saw you.''

''That we shouldn't meet any more, your
elders ordered - so my father also said.''

That's the tradition apparently.

''What tradition, l don't know. They won't
let me sit out of the house. lf l don't''

''see you, l'll cry. Simhadri, l can't be
without seeing you.''

''l can't stay too, Ganga. But l have to.. .
Let's do this. Keep this flute with you.''

''When you see this, you'll recall
my songs and words, ''

it'll feel like seeing me.

l don't want the feeling. You should
come see me now and then.

''Okay, l'll come visit you when no one
can watch, like this. l'll make a move, Ganga.''

''One minute. There's dew falling, Simhadri.
ln this cold, how will you go that far?''

Take this sweater and wear it.

Hey, who is that?''

Hey Malli, Hey Malli. Where the hell are you?''

There's some sound there. Go check it.

''Hey who's there?
Hey Ranga, you go check that!''

''Hey, hey, hey, brother, did you see?
Did you see that? He's eloping ''

''with our girl. My gosh, Coming into the
house like a thief at night to meet a grownup girl''

''No, sir, What happened was ..
- What not?''

''ln front of our very eyes, you were
holding her hand. Who are you trying to fool?''

''Though my sister warned me, l let you
into the house. ''

ls this what you pay back with?

Go. Go inside.
Move girl ! Move on!

Take her in. Fellows, break him apart.''

''Father .. Don't beat Simhadri, father
Father .. Father .. Don't beat''

Narasimham .. Narasimham .. That
Neelakantham's people are beating your..

lt is not Simhadri's fault, father. Listen to me.''

''What nonsense are you talking.
Come, go inside''

''Brother, please stop. Little fellow
perhaps commited mistake not knowing well.''

if it's his fault, please forgive him.''

''What, forgive him? ln front of my very
eyes, he's dragging my daughter along ..''

''Father .. Don't beat Simhadri, father
Father .. Father ..Don't beat''

What are you looking at?

lf one hand hurts my son ..

''Alas, alas, all is over. lt's all over.
Our prestige is drowned in the Ganges.''

That Simhadri fellow visits your daughter
at midnight.

''His dad raises his hand against you,
threatening to kill.You can't stay wuiet. ''

We should see the end of this father and son.

What are you saying?

Yes, sir. l saw it with my own eyes.''

''What good news you brought! So,
Neelakantham and Narasimham fall apart.''

Very good.

Yes dad.

Will you ever go to that house?

No dad!

Even if you feel like seeing Gangotri?

l won't go, dad.''

He forgot all the service you rendered
and kicked you in your chest.

''How can l forget that, dad? l won't go dad.
Never will l go there, dad.''

''Calm down, boy. My heart aches
in sadness. Will you ..''

''l'll do anything for you, dad. Anywhere
you want me to go, l'll go.''

l feel you were hasty in dealing with
Narasimham.

He even lost his wife
in the effort to save your life.

True.

Yes sir.
Bring that Narasimham along .. Carefully.

Go.Go inside
Okay sir.

Go. Go inside.
What's this?

That you won't ever see in your life ..
You can't even imagine ..

Why did you bring?

Not to induce you to join my gang or to
join hands with me. For twenty fiveyears..

you protected his life with yours.
What are you left with?

By dawn that Neelakantham will be history.

''Sir, that Narasimham joined with
Bapineedu, sir. They're planning to kill you.''

Then He and that Bapineedu should be ashes
along with that music school.

You shouldn't interfere.This is the payment.
Tell me if that's not enough.

l'll send more.

''Bapineedu! Like every human has only
one father and only one mother,''

there's only one person you can trust.
That trust is vested in only one person.

He may have lost his trust in me. But
my faith in him will remain with me

till my last breath.

This is the center of art which my wife
regarded as sacred temple itself.

''So, l'll let you off. lf this happened elsewhere,''

l'd have cut up all off you into little pieces.
Get out of here.

Oh what horrible tragedy!

This is doing evil against your benefactor.

That poor teacher lost her life to protect
Neelakantham's life.

''At last, that Neelakantham took
even Narasimham's life.''

Even Simhadri was looking after
Neelakantham's daughter like his own life.

Yes, true. This whole family
served that one faithfully''

''yet they made this boy an orphan
Poor fellow, how will he survive?''

Hey Neelakantham Naidu!

''Hey, who's that? Who dares to call my
brother by his name, in this whole district?''

lt's me.

''Oh my, you wretched Simhadri !
Since your father died, did you get drunk''

to shoot your mouth off?

''Yes! Since my childhood, Neelakantham
Naidu was God. His word was the law.''

His house is the temple .. The tipsiness
of my father's teachings is now gone

Hey, what' your problem?''

''Hey, lt's to stop your daughter's crying
you asked me to sing.''

'' lt was you who asked me to play with her,
to look after her like my very life.''

At last, you succumb to the evil
words of your sister, ''

''and put a dirty color on our friendship, and
separate us, that also you! And your sister!''

What, you're talking too much.''

l'm not crazy, l speak the whole truth.''

''Hey, l raised Gangotri with these hands.
We never had these dirty thoughts.''

lt is you and your sister that planted
this thought in us now..

Alright. From this moment on ..
This moment on .. l love Gangotri.

l love you, Gangotri!''

''365 days! ln three hundred and sixty
five days, l'll take Gangotri away from you.''

Hey, who's there? Cut this fellow up!''

''Hey, what are you? Your fellows will
cut me up? You can't even touch my hair!''

Brother! Alas, alas, blood!''

''ln three hundred and sixty five days,
l'll take Gangotri away from you.''

Stop there. Bring the news of that wretched
Simhadri's death or bring his corpse.

''Until then, none of you can enter my house.
Go.. Go .. ''

Come back only with Simhadri's corpse.

''Did you return with the good news of
Simhadri's death? Ah, tell me. Did you find him?''

''We searched Guntur, Krishna, all coastal
districts. Also searched every''

lane in Hyderabad. Rayalaseema also
we searched. No trace of him anywhere..

You must find .. And cut him up. Announce
in TV and the papers. Not only in our state

Search every inch of the whole country.

''Oh Lord, My simhadri shouldn't face any danger.
protect him safely wherever he is''

Sir, look here a minute.''

Yes, what's it?''

Who asked you to carve these names here?

''That girl who came with you all, all her
dear friends' names she wanted carved''

''here,so that you'll all remain her friends
in the next life too.''

us our own home''

''That dear one who raised me tenderly,
now that he'll own me fully''

You are there and l'm here

Who are you?

''lf you know who we are, you won't be
sitting like that!''

You'll be standing!

What are all these?

''Sweets, pure ghee sweets, brought from
Nirmala Swagruha foods.''

''Even in America or in Andhra, these are in
great demand''

''Why all these?
To eat,sir.''

''Either in America, or in Andhra, these
are utilized for eating.''

Hey, teacher, who is this man? Who are they?''

''Oh, nothing, sir. This is Mr. Sunil, works
in ZP school in our town. ''

Our Gangotri took the Hindi exam
in their school.

l'm the reason for Gangotri writing that exam
well and passing.

''Oh, thank you very much. Then as she
passed, Gangotri should bring you sweets.''

Why did you bring?

''Sir, no such formalities between
Gangotri and myself.''

Many thanks. What do you wish from me?
Should l get you the best teacher award?

''Either in America or in Andhra,
awards come by themselves if one has cash.''

Then .. Ah .. You want promotion as
the head master?

''Ah, what promotion. lf bribes are given,
it'll come by itself.''

Then, tell me how much you want.''

''Oh, what's the deal with money.
After the wedding.. ''

the whole wealth will be mine anyway

Then, tell me what you want.''

Oh my gosh, l'm suddenly shy sir.''

''Hey, Either in America or in Andhra, it's
the girls who should feel shy, why you?''

You shut up

''Bridegroom, isn't he? He'll be shy.
Nothing, sir. This young fellow loves ''

your Gangotri. Gangotri too loves him.
These two loved each other..

..roaming around the fields and lake shores
and among the wells.

So, now if we exchange these promises''

''That's all sir, they give us this plate
and we give that plate in return, talk about that..''

''What's this, sir? We come for wedding
and you pour water on us!''

''Hey, you want to marry my daughter, eh?
Make this fellow unfit for marriage!''

Oh my god! l don't know any thing. These
fellows are dangerous.

l am just a Hindi teacher.

''Either in America or in Andhra,
l don't think this is the way.''

But here, this is the way.''

So, you want our little wueen?''

''Hey, hey, hey, lf he comes out, he'll
kill you. Go on, run away!''

''You can remove my body from here, but
who can drag my heart away.''

Then let's do this.

Let's leave his heart here and take
his body away

Where can we carry his body?

''How can we lift his weight? You all come

''Did you fail in exams and run away?

How much your parents must be missing you!

''My mother and father are dead, sir

Ask all that later. First let the boy eat
and fill his stomach.

''Eat boy.

''lf it comes free, one shouldn't accept
even gold - that's what my mother told.''

''l came to this Gangotri on a
certain work, sir.On work''

''l mean, for work sir. lf you'd give me
some work ..l'll eat all these.''

''l'll clean the tables, supply the orders
Any work l'll do.''

l like you boy. Certainly l'll give you work.
Now eat first.

Though he's hungry he refused to eat

His mother must to be truly fortunate
to raise such a son!

''My dear, aren't you! lt's been four days

''Not only Telugus, but very brilliant too

Ganga must be worried for me. ''

''You don't worry about a thing.

''Greetngs, lady! l am new here. Can you
direct me to Mr.Neelakantham's ''

discuss an important issue with you.

''So, Simhadri is safe with you? Very glad.
Not knowing where Simhadri went''

''what happened to him, how he is ..

''Our place is the nearby Draksharamam.
Every year, l bring the new Ganges water''

to offer to Lord Bhimeswara at Draksharamam.
Wherever this water is sprinkled

that place is filled with the eight wealths.
Those suffering from mental worries

recover their peace of mind. That's why l
came and gave some of this water to the lady

''So, what Sastry, in your hotel you
have only those wretched Hindi people''

or did you get some of
our Telugu wretches also?

''No ma'am, l got some really sharp Telugu
fellows, like you said.''

You will see for yourself when you come

l'll make a move

Hey brother!

''What's this, l feel different. Suddenly,
my mind is very calm.''

So the Ganges water worked.

''Simhadri! l'm coming to Gangotri. Oh Mother
Ganges, only you can join the two of us.''

''l asked the fellow to show me some Sandal
wood. Where the hell did he go, stupid hell!''

''lf aunty comes there, the plan will backfire
l have to prevent her from coming some how''

''l have to do every damn thing in this house
Oh God, ''

l hope this ladder won't break
under my weight. lt's shaking ..

Oh my God .. Alas alas .. lt's broken
it's broken. My leg is broken. Oh God!

''Hey Ramdu, Hey Lakshmi .. Come ..
where the hell are you all .. ''

What happened ma'am?

Alas, my leg is broken, Oh God''

''Why, we are going for the last ritual bath
of our daughter, you should be happy''

''Tulasi, l'm an ignorant illiterate. Lost my
parents when very young. Since then..''

it was my sister who became mom dad
brother sister everything and raised me

l'm sad that l'm going without her.

So your dad doesn't know that you got
your auntie's leg broken.

''lf that demon came along,
could l meet Simhadri?''

Hey brother!
Sis!

''l took permission from the doctor.
Here, he gave me this third leg.''

Like this l'm coming, though wobbly. Wait!''

''Darn, this demon ..
Uncle.. Uncle..''

What's all this?

''Gangotri will come here for her bath on
her birthday, right?''

''Later when l take her away, no one
should think that l took her for her jewels''

''That's why l bought all these .
Are they good, auntie?''

They are really nice, boy.''

''Well, if you spend all your savings like
this, how will you take care of her?''

''Just this one is enough to take care of
Gangotri, uncle!''

''Uncle, you looked ater this orphan like your
own son. ''

''l too am sad to leave you and go. Uncle,
but it is inevitable for the sake of Gangotri.''

''Uncle, your name is Anjaneya Sastry, right?
And Anjaneya lives forever, uncle?''

''So that our love too will live forever,
bless me, uncle.''

''You'll have along with my blessings, those of
Lord lndra, ''

the Lord of all the elements through all your life.

''Hey Satti, That Simhadri is in Gangotri
should not be known to Neelakantham Naidu''

you have to look after that.
No will suspect - l'll take care of it.

Hey Padma, get down, quick.''

''Move quickly
Madam, sit in this.''

''That's what irritates me. You're grown like
a pig, but can't even carry a pot.''

''lf the sandal paste spills, l'll drown you
in the Ganges. Move carefully.''

Damn her twisting walk .. Damn her twists
wretched one .. Oh mother ..

Hey brother, l'm dead! My back is broken.''

''What sis ?
Some fellow tilted my chair, brother, oh gosh.''

You've grown too old and can't even see
what is where. Sit down. Tulasi!

Proceed with the ritual bath.
Okay.

With turmeric and vermillion,
with milk and perfume..''

..pure sandal paste and divine nectars
themselves

..washing every limb, removing every curse ''

This sacred bath offered to Gangotri

Oh, mother Ganga''

''Simhadri's voice. This is Simhadri's song,
no doubt. Means, he came here''

''to Gangotri. He's here somewhere. Hey,
find him and cut him up. Go on. Go.''

''Sir, stop, stop. Sir, sir, l just recorded this
as the song is good.''

''When Simhadri came here last time, as
the song was good, he recorded it.''

''Okay, press it.
Tell river Yamuna, to always bring help''

To Godavari and Kaveri, to brook and stream''

the falling rain and
the diving water fall to all your siblings

Please tell, ''

The last ritual bath is completed. Your
Gangotri is now free of the water danger.

Now it will all be good fortune.

Now it will all be good fortune.

My Ganga is free of danger. My golden
child is freed from the evil.

This my Gangotri that was born to save my life
l managed to save her life.

''Not the five elements, nor the nine planets
not even the 30 million gods ''

can take away my Ganga from me. Hey ..

No one has the power to separate Ganga
from me ..

My Ganga can not be taken away from me.

Who's that?

''You wretched fellow!, stop. Stop there.
Hey stop. Hey .. Hey .. Stop.''

''Oh, my saree
My trident!''

''My gosh blood! Oh brother, that Simhadri is
running off with Gangotri.''

''Hey, go after him. Catch him. Cut him into
little pieces and bring my Ganga back.''

''To bring Ganga back, it's not possible
for your guys, nor even for you.''

What nonsense are you talking?

''Once it starts in Himalayas, through Rishikesh
Haridvar, Benaras, and Allahabad''

the Ganges which blends into sea at last
- even Lord Siva doesn't have the power

to separate her. To separate your Ganga
from the sea-like Simhadri is impossible

''for you, and even to the One that created you.''

l'll take care of this fellow -
you go look after Gangotri.

''Little lady, you move aside ..Little lady,
move your leg aside, l'll cut off his leg''

Where's that Simhadri
he's dead. Come.

l won't come. l won't come without Simhadri.
l can't live without Simhadri.

''You can't live wthout him? lf you want to live
with him, then you have to die too.''

Will you die? Tell, come on tell..''

Save my daughter!

Who are you to tell my daughter to die?

lt's not now you should be beating her ..
You know when she put the dirty color

on their young innocent love
you should've beaten her then.

What will this barren wretch know
the hearts of young ones?

Hey, if you talk any more, l'll kill you.''

''Kill me. lt's nothing new to you. Whoever
opposed you, whoever crossed you ''

''you got them killed so far. At last,
you are killing your own daughter.''

lt's for the sin of beng born as your daughter
you say you'll kill her.

''But that young boy, what sin did he do that
you got him beaten so badly?''

That he played with and regaled and raised
your daughter - you got him beaten?

''To save your life, his mother lost her life.
ls that why you got him beaten?''

''For thirty years his father served you,
and in anger you murdered him and''

made this boy an orphan. You worried
about how an orphan will live -

ls that why you want to kill him?

Even the jungle animals kill other
animals only when they are hungry.

But you seem to want to devour those
who loved you. l loved you the most

more than any one. Kill me too. Kill me too.

l can't find the pulse. No breathing either.

Nothing happens. Nothing happens to my dear.
Just once get up

Tell my dear to talk to me ..

''just to protect your life, for these many
years l came here and offered up prayers.''

''Yet, l could not find that your life wasn't
with you but with Simhadri.''

''Look at me once. Dear, Tell her to look
at me just once.''

To save one's life's not easy as killing.

Simhadri, get up.''

''Simhadri, don't stop. With which song you
saved her once before, ''

with the same song
you must save her once more.
