Salutations to Lord Srirama the Supreme being.

There is the mountain Bhadragiri.

It is like Ayodhya for Andhraites.

No sage like VaImiki mentioned about it.

While divine couple Sita and Rama dweIl here,

... Devotee Ramadas sang devotional songs...

this place became famous as South Saketapuri.

The great devotee Bhadra begged Sitaram to appear to him again.

He observed severe penance.

pleased by his penance Lord Vishnu appeared on Earth.

Bhadra requested him to appear in Treta Yug as Rama.

To fulfiIl his promise Lord Vishnu took birth on the earth...

who married the daughter of Mother Earth.

Accompanied by his divine shell, and the discus on either side...

with bow and arrow, along with Sita and Lakshman he appeared to Bhadra.

Devotee Bhadra requested Vishnu that he turn him into a mountain...

... and Vishnu in his reincarnation as Rama should dwell on its peak.

And the mountain be known as Bhadragiri.

O God Vishnu l pay obeisance to you who

blessed me with your gracious appearance

with your consort Janaki (Lakshmi) and hoIding the divine bow and arrow,

adorned by divine weapons, the shell and the discus on either side

and the Adi Seshu as shoulder ornament

accompanied by brother Lakshman.

There is the mountain Bhadragiri

which is Iike Ayodhya for Andhraites.

Dammakka, you made us walk since morning.

We are dead tired. How long do we waIk in the jungle?

My Lord Rama told me that he is here and I should find him.

Told me in my dream to light a diya and offer him holy food.

He told you so in your dream! I wilI kill you with this.

How can something said in a dream materialize?

My Rama won't Iie even in dream.

Search seriously. You will sure find him.

You are too devoted. Don't get carried away in it.

You treat us with your herbal medicines wheneverthe need arises.

Just do it till you die. Don't trouble us Iike this.

Today she says it is Ram. Tomorrow, something else.

Don't take her words seriously. Let's go back.

Wait listen to me... Lord Rama...

O Lord Rama, Mother Sita, Lakshmana,

are you hiding in ant hiIl?

Rama, your life is fulI of hardships.

You were born, soon went to forest, lost your wife.

Lead a tough life. Why did you, again, hide here?

Why did you get caught by me, an old woman!

l can hardly do anything foryou.

Who will look aftery'ou?

Who will build a temple fory'ou?

Who will perform the puja (worship)

...and take care ofyou?

Gopanna, you have come in time to save the idol from falling.

All of you touch the feet of Rama, our protector not mine.

Idols are gIowing!

This year our Sriramanavami celebrations are going to be expensive.

So, carry' these idols carefully.

Hey, parrot, stop there.

Where are you?

flower, when wilI my Gopanna come?

parrot, my Gopanna has not come yet.

Hey, parrot,

Cousin, l want that parrot.

Come closer. l want this parrot. -You...

l cannot leave with you sitting on me.

Greetings to birthday girl.

Greetings without a gift are unacceptabIe.

May l give you a gift which both of us can have?

What is that?

You...

You want this parrot, right?

lt is so cute! Bring it to home in a cage to play.

Come to me O parrot.

Singanna, announce in the village that, on the eve of...

.. Ramanavami celebrations, we will feed the entire village.

ls it okay? - Okay.

O God! Feeding an entire vilIage is not easy. lt costs a lot.

Recently you had distributed alI the grains to them...

.. in the name of drought.

We wilI be on the roads soon ifyou continue such things.

You tell him, Gopanna. - Okay. Mother.

Mother .. l've a doubt to clear. -What's it?

How could l breathe when you were pregnant and carry'ing me?

That is what is God's miracle.

l see! I heard that frogs live enclosed in huge boulders. True? - True.

What about food forthem? - Of course, it is God.

When he can perform such miracIes,...

... won't he provide for us if we become poor by charity work?

l got what you mean.

l'Il send necessary' groceries as yourfather wants.

Send Chandrayya. - Okay, mother.

Gopanna, here is the cage you wanted.

lt is nice. O parrot, it is fory'ou.

What is the news from the village? - May l tell you, Gurrugaru?

Why do you call me so? - Because you are always snoring.

Your brother-in-law, with grand Ramanavami celebtations

l want you to talk about me, the great learned man.

Not about my brother-in-law.

About you... May l teIl you?

You are making mockery of the viIlage.

Who said so? l'Il stab him with a cane to...

Greetings, brother-in-law.

Greetings...

Whatever my brother says sounds like poetry.

My brother is like Paramanandayya.

I hate that comparison.

l like comparison to king Bhojaraju who is a Iearned man.

Comparing to a gIutton would be appropriate.

l'll break your head you, rascaI. Get lost.

Brother-in-law, where is my niece?

Niece! you ugIy looking fellow!

HeIloN sister-in-law. Hasn't our son-in-law, Gopanna come?

l'll get her married to a Revenue officer.

WiIl you please...

BrotherN even kids pay no attention to what he talks.

You please come and have snacks.

Go. Snacks are okay but don't plan for wedding reception.

Gopanna and our Kamala look made for each other.

Shut up else l'll stuff it in your mouth.

Greetings to would be father-in-law.

Nonsense. Anyway, why is this parrot here?

Today is Kamala's birthday. I brought it as a gift for her, uncle.

The parrot is cute.

Kamala is playing in the backyard.

Go and give it. - l'll. -Wait.

Wait. Why are you giving the parrot as gift?

Because gifting rat won't be nice.

lf you want to chaIlenge

Okay. Here is the riddle.

What are youN to a newly born baby of...

..yourfather's daughter-in-law's brother'sN son's, would be wife?

What! What!!

Here l repeat...

My father's daughter-in-law's mother-in-law'...

He cannot answer? - He will answer.

You cannot. - Of course l can. -You can what? - Riddle.

She is Rukmani Devi.

She fell in Iove with him.

He is Sishupal. Has eyes on Rukmani.

Rukmani asked Krishna to come. He came.

He was taking away Rukmani. Sishupal obstructed them.

Krishna got angry' and raised his sword.

l think my blouse knot got Ioose. Tie it.

Then Krishna chased away Sishupal.

He shaved off Rukmi's head and beard.

Not so tight please.

He married Rukmani.

He hugged Rukmani tight.

These hands feel like my cousin's.

Cousin! When did you come?

Before your blouse knot came off.

Where are my friends? - Gone. -When?

Before l tied the knot ofyour blouse.

Get lost. - Did you call me here to send me off?

This is my gift for letting me tie the knot ofyour blouse.

He is the father

She is would be daughter-in-law.

He is to be born baby.

That gorilla is you. - l'll break your head you, fool.

lt was a hard slapN father.

Enough of nonsense. Get in, you, idiot.

Mother... -We have come to see an aIliance.

lt isn't right to mess with other girls and get beaten up, you rascal.

She looked docile. I didn't expect to get a slap.

Now you know. Get in. We are getting late. - Okay.

Brother is what l heard true that a boy is coming to see Kamala.

Yes. They have come and resting in the guest house.

You are not invited.

Brother-in-law, we decided when KamaIa was born that..

... she and Gopanna would be husband and wife.

Now l don't think so.

Bother, he has no value for promise.

Shut up. l cannot give my girl in a poorfamily.

They spent away everything in the name of charity and devotion.

For relationship, friendship or even fight, equal status is necessary.

l won't marry' off my daughter into a poorfamily.

I'm getting her married to a would be Revenue officer.

You may leave.

Cousin...

Who broke the bow of Lord Shiva?

You called me, an ugIy felIow!!

You glare at me! Of course you are ugly not me.

AnywayN why do you need my horoscope?

Sit down now. Pick it up.

You are too much.

How is my son-in-law, the would be Revenue officer?

Compared to Gopanna... he Iooks like a fooI.

Shut up, you fools.

Don't bother. He makes such noise while reading horoscopes.

You look at the bride while I look at her horoscope.

MotherN ask the bride to come fast. l'm eagerto see her.

Father, Kamala is like an orange fruit.

Her cheeks are round.

You may ask questions her ifyou have any.

First question is...

l want to ask few questions. Come this way.

We have to change with the changing times. Come.

The parrot is cute. Ask your questions fast.

Who came to Ashokvan for Sita? - Ravan.

What did he say? - That he wants to marry her.

What did Sita say?

She showed him a strand of grass which meant he is worthless.

Are you teasing me!

What did she say?

Nothing.

Did she show you anything?

Showed her skilI in direction. -What do you mean?

Tell us what she showed you. -A strand of grass.

How do you find their horoscopes? - Totally opposite.

l don't know what to answer.

Should l tell you the fact? - Of course, yes.

Your entire family is going through a bad phase.

Never mind. l'll perform rites to do away with it.

And get her married to him only.

Good. Let me congratulate you. That is the spirit.

lfyou too are brave l'lI tell you something.

lt's okay with us. We are ready forthe wedding.

That's the spirit.

lt says that whoever marries her will undergo imprisonment.

lmprisonment!!

Let's get up.

please don't do it.

Mother, father, let's go.

Please, don't ruin my daughter's life.

You mean, we ruin our son's life? Wife, let's go.

Brother-in-law...

We are finished.

I made it known to all that my son-in-law will go to jail.

Now my daughter can never be married.

PIease calm down.

UncIe, whethery'ou agree or not Kamala would be my wife.

NoN cousin. I don't get into troubles because of me.

Foryou, l'm ready even to go to heaven.

Nephew.. - UncIe, what's this!

l request you to give her hand in marriage to my son.

Brother, say yes to engagement. -Yes.

Here came the coach from Golkonda.

Akkanna and Madanna have come.

Aren't they Gopanna's maternal uncles? -Yes.

Greetings, brother-in-law. Was the journey comfortable?

Enough of separation

Please listen to my pleas

Your touch subdues my senses

l love to hear you say so

These moments are precious to us

We never experienced such pleasure before.

Don't take my invitation lightly

These sweets are like pills to intensify our romance

These beds are gateway to heaven

These bodies are instrumental...

...in culmination of our joy

My body knows no tiredness Don't stop me

That's enough.

Wife, what is your parrot saying?

Husband, l've a doubt. -What's it?

A male parrot is called 'Ramachiluka'. -Yes.

Then, what is a femaIe parrot called?

How about calIing it 'Sitachiluka'?

Very nice! l want to unite this parrot with it's mate.

You are my brothers, but are like my fatherto me.

His charity work made us poor.

We have nothing left even to prepare holy food.

You are holding high posts in the court ofTanisha (king)

please help Gopanna get a job.

We have aIready took a decision about it.

We will take Gopanna with us and get him a job, okay?

Okay, uncle.

l'm not God but a devotee of God.

l'm not a king but a public servant by god's grace..

You were supposed to introduce your nephew to me.

Greetings O Badusha (king)

Your uncles say you are well liked by public.

l want to hear what people there feel about my rule?

Can l give an honest answer?

Or lie to remain in your goodwiIl like your officers do?

l commend your guts. Tell me the truth.

You must be aware that our region was hit by drought recently.

l know. l presume that you know we had sent..

... enough funds for reIief.

The king must realize that your duty doesn't end there.

What!! ExpIain clearly.

Get me an ice cube. l'll explain.

Who is there?

Assume that this is the fund you had sent.

Now, pass it on to the next person. - Okay.

By the time it reached the needy people

this is what happened to the money you had sent.

Excellent! Your nephew is great Iike you two.

Let's keep watch to prevent such a thing in future.

king, provide him some employment.

How can your order not be obeyed?

Hire him as Revenue officer of Hasnabad.

Your brother-in-law, Mattesaab is holding it aIready.

Transfer him as the head of Golkonda jaiI.

Come to me O my beauty.

You are so beautiful.

He is inside. -We are guards.

What are you doing here?

You send beautiful girIs to our officer.

Don't we look like men tooN to you? - Speak up, pandit.

No. You don't. What about you? Why did l ask you!

Drums have stopped playing. Let's go in.

My dear... - Sir... Sir...

l told you not to come in when l'm doing important work.

We came in onIy after the drums stopped playing.

What's the matter?

New Revenue officer is coming.

Your post is on fire. -What! My post!

Your brother-in-law has sent this himself.

You Iost your post. -You...

Whoever is coming here is going to die.

The king nor his grandfather can take away...

... my post as the Revenue officer of Hasnabad.

Watch which route is he taking to come here.

O river Godavari why are you so turbuIent?

lt appears that your shore is waiting for someone to arrive

My left eye lid is fluttering meansN...

Good days are coming for our God Sitaram

O river Godavari...

Dancing of peacocks whose feathers adorn Lord Krishna's crest...

Joy of the cows who fed him milk and...

the joy of the jumping squirrels that helped Lord Rama...

... indicate, indirectlyN

the arrival of good times for Lord Rama

Sacred verses are so nice to hear!

Better is the new officer.

We have not come to praise him but to stab him.

I'll stab him when l find an opportunity.

When is that? - Don't nag me.

HaiI Revenue officer Gopanna.

You got the job because your uncles buttered up the King.

Count your days you sit on my chair.

Let me count the problems people here have first.

And then how to end them. l'm not afraid ofyou.

You will be in trouble. l'll kill you.

Stop. You should send off the ex-officer with due respect.

l'll show you what respect is.

l'll go to Golkonda, make my sister, the queen teach you a Iesson.

What! - This coach isn't for us but forthe new officer.

Now you are an ex-Revenue officer. - Don't say it.

Don't go behind the horses. They wilI kick you.

Right. Horses have no loyalty like dogs do.

They kick the ex officers.

lt is my personal experience. -You rogue...

Pantulu, l don't know what you do but you must...

... build a grave for him soon.

We brahmins cremate the dead bodies.

Keep them inside. - Okay.

Keep these in the prayer room. - Okay.

What wilI we do with such a huge house?

We are only two. lt is alI ours.

I go in the morning and return by night.

Wonder what you will do in the meanwhiIe.

l'll wait foryou like Mother Sita waited for Rama.

Sir, troubles from head of our vilIage are increasing.

Okay l'll make enquires about him and take action. Relax.

Load them into our vehicles. Please, stop. - Do it.

How do we survive?

You are paying only half of the agreed money for 2 years.

You die ifyou cannot pay up.

Don't say so, sir. Last year we suffered drought.

Before that we had storm. You know everything.

l know. That is why l'm taking what is available here.

l'm taking away your daughter against your Iast year dues.

pay up and take her back. Put her on the cart.

Stop. What is this atrocity?

SirN you have to save me from these rogues.

l know who rogues are.

Are these peopIe your bonded labour?

How can you chain them and force them to work?

You gave them loans against which you robbed

everything they possessed, robbed the entire vilIage.

This is the end to your authority.

End of bonded labour.

The farmer has the upper hand.

The land belongs to whoever cultivates it.

Villagers who cultivate under the agreement will own it.

l'Il prepare legal documents to that effect.

Hail the Revenue officer.

God knows nothing.

What are you talking to yourself?

Why cannot the God make the mangoes grow in aIl seasons?

What!! You want to eat raw mango?

l feel like carry'ing you.

Why?- Carrying you means carry'ing my baby.

You know Gopanna is going to have a kid.

Kid will be born but won't have father. - How come?

l won't tell you but do it. What do you mean?

Madam, hereN forthe celebration of lighting lamps on 14th day

of the month Kartik, you are teaching girls to dance.

But things there are bad with master.

He is roaming all over the villagesN jungles.

Here men are crueI like animals. You must warn him.

No one can stop him from doing what he wants.

Bye, sir.

Gopanna, you will never come back.

l love you. l'll fuIfill your wishes.

Serve you pure honey. Come.

So, you are Shurpanaka's sister.

Better don't mess with me else you wilI lose ears and nose too.

O Rama, who lives in the heart of Hanuman

Mattesaab is angry that l did nothing to Gopanna.

Gopanna is angry that l couldn't find out who wants to kiIl him.

What do l do?

You are caught in the cross fire. - Shut up.

Sir... -Yes. - Gopanna is going to attend the office from tomorrow.

Look into this first.

Kamala, l'm going to office.

You are going to office a long time afterthe accident.

Before that a visit to the old lady who saved your life...

Good that you reminded me. Let's go together. Come.

Rama, l've brought fruits fory'ou.

Are you hungryN dear? Eat.

You old Iady, you are feeding defiled fruits to God!

Have you gone mad?

She is not mad. She is deeply devoted.

Yes. Devotee Shabari tested the fruits fortaste...

before she offered to Rama.

We called it great devotion. This woman is like that too.

Sorry. We shouIdn't have said it.

Don't just sit. He is the Revenue officer of this district.

Grandma, we came to thank you for saving my life.

You are the Revenue officer!

Sir, you are a righteous and a just officer.

Look at my Lord Rama.

He appeared to me in my dream.

Asked me to worship him.

l am worried who will serve him after my death.

l've to take care of my Rama.

BecauseN this is the place where Rama held court when...

... he came to jungles when he was exiled from Ayodhya.

Close by is the place where Sita and Rama visited.

Come with me. l'll show you. - Let's go, KamaIa.

Grandma, bring them back before the night fall.

Beware of insects too. Let's leave. - Come with me

This is the cottage where my Rama stayed.

Here is the place Rama and Sita spent time.

This is where mother Sita dried her saree

This is the garment Rama had worn

These are his holy foot prints

These are the un-erased marks of the deer

These are the stones where mother Sita applied

..turmeric and kumkum.

lt is here Lakshman drew a line for Sita not to cross.

Here are the marks of abduction of Sita by Ravana.

This is the holy place where Rama walked.

How can there be no shelter for my Rama here?

Yadagiri, here are the papers the Revenue officer has sent.

Distribute to all. - Okay.

What are you staring at?

They are the documents. You own the farms.

They don't have your signature?

No? lt took me the whole night to sign those papers.

You haven't signed but wrote 'Srirama' on alI of them.

You are supposed to come for meals. Why are you sitting here?

l'm talking to you.

Oh! the cunning deer...

My Lord, look at the goIden deer.

lt is beautiful. - l want it to keep as pet.

How can Rama not fulfilI your wish?

No, O Rama. That is actually demon Maricha in deerform.

Don't go. Mother Sita will get into trouble. Don't go.

Lakshmana, your brother seems to be in troubIe. Go, see.

Mother, it's impossible that my valiant brother can have trouble.

You refuse to go as your intentions aren't good.

Mother, it is all demons' tricks.

Lakshman is a noble man.

lf he leaves you alone, you have to go to Lanka. Don't do it.

Alms...Alms...

Mother SitaN don't do it. This person is Ravana in disguise.

Don't cross the line.

Saint, accept the alms.

Why are you hesitating?

Don't you know the rule that...

... you have to walk up to me to go offer alms?

Don't look scared. l'm Ravana the great king of Lanka.

You... Ravan....

Rama is omnipresent

He is our soul

He had shown his supreme power in many incarnations of his

The sunN the moon, the stars the gods are alI part of him

All the worlds in the Universe including the Bramha,

... the rivers, forests, animalsN all elements and the

holy scriptures ... are all part of him.

HANUMA

holyRama

I have been searching for you,why did u left me

why this kind of life againN

Praise the Lord Krishna of Brindavan

Rama, you are gracious.

By your graceN people have responded and

enough money is collected for the construction of the tempIe

l pay obeisance to you.

Your son is born at the auspicious time.

Look, Goddess Lakshmi came walking to you herself.

Our son is born at the beginning of the nobIe deed.

Let us name him as Raghunath.

You spoke what is in my mind.

Move aside... So much money!

I cannot believe 7,00N000 is collected.

A revenue officer Iike Gopanna was never born, nor will.

Nothing is impossible if God is kind.

Out of this total collection, 1,00,000 coins are towards taxes.

Send it to Golkonda treasury. - Okay.

Pantulu, you write a letter to the king for permission to...

... build the temple, with the remaining 6,00,000 gold coins.

This is people's money. The king wiIl surely permit it.

What is this?

Money sent by Gopanna. Open your eyes and see.

How much is it? -You wilI get a heart attack if l tell you.

You fooI... The king called him a dog in front of us.

Nothing happened to him.

Someone spit on his face. Nothing happened to him.

How much is it?

More than 1N00,000. - O God! Mre than a 1,00,000!

Whatever above 1N00,000 is mine.

Okay. One lakh is..

Look at the letter Gopana has sent first. - Hold it.

Gopanna seeks kings permission to...

You want permission!

He gets permission only if this letter reaches the king.

Gopanna, l'll burn you and your newly born baby like this.

What happened? - He just had milk but stiIl crying.

Don't cry, dear...

Allah (O God)...

Which God is gracious, divine and grants salvation?

Who is wise, noble and kind?

Who is the most beautiful and beloved of all

Who eIse but Lord Rama

Cherish the name 'Rama'which is a driving force for all

The Lord, one of the Trimurthys

Who is omnipotent

Who is omniscient

Whom the 7 worlds worship

Who is gracious, and omniscient

That is Srirama

Cherish chanting the name Srirama

lt wiIl lead you throughout the life

You have enchanted us with your song in praise of Rama.

Both of you are aIikeN when it comes to devotion.

You have proved, with your song, that devotion knows no boundaries.

You are... - l'm Kabir a devotee of Lord Rama.

l think you are a Muslim. How come you are devoted to Rama?

His grand father's name too was Kabir.

He became devotee of Rama because of his grandfather.

The five elements, the skyN earth, waterN fire and the air...

... are above all races and religions.

Lord is omnipresent. How can man made obstacles...

... prevent us from worship him?

I'm blessed by the visit of a magnanimous person Iike you.

Please come to my house and bless it.

Kamala, please bring water to wash the feet ofthis revered man.

Welcome. This is our house.

House!

This tree shade is our house. He resolved to stay here until...

... he builds the temple for God.

lt's a great resolution.

Chanting the name of 'Tarakarama'. would make alI resolutions fruitful.

Yes. Lord Shiva has initiated this sloka(hymn) to his consort parvati.

l'll initiate it to you. Your wish wilI surely be fulfilled.

l'm blessed

Noble man, you have bIessed me by initiating with 'Tarakamantra'.

I'll teach it to all. l'lI begin to write 'Sriram' a crore times.

You have collected huge amount. Why didn't you begin construction?

l've sent letterto the king requesting for his permission.

l've not yet received permission.

You don't need his permission but of Lord Rama's.

That is done long ago. Don't delay a good deed.

Coming Dasami is very auspicious as perthe sage Vashisht. That is done long ago. Don't delay a good deed.

Coming Dasami is very auspicious as perthe sage Vashisht.

lt is the best day to lay foundation forthe temple.

What is best! My foot!

Because of that Rama spent 14 years in exile.

AnywayN how can a Muslim fix auspicious day for ourtempIe? Because of that Rama spent 14 years in exile.

AnywayN how can a Muslim fix auspicious day for ourtempIe?

Why are you angry'?

Answer my question if you have guts.

lf your answer is right, l'll shave of my hair and grow beard.

lfyou cannotN you have to shave offyour beardN grow hair like me.

l think we are not worthy enough to talk about sage Vashisht.

At the auspicious time he fixed,

Rama's footware were declared to rule the kingdom.

The great sage knew that Rama was Lord Vishnu and he was born to eliminate the evil.

Auspicious time was chosen forthat purpose.

lfyou teach me again, l'll pulI away your beard.

You keep saying I'm a Muslim.

But we have became reIatives when Lord Venkatesha (Vishnu)

married Bibi Nancharamma. (a Muslim)

Relatives! My foot. Don't make me angry else...

Your head wilI be at his feet if you say one more word against him.

O Saint, foundation fortemple wilI be laid at the time you fixed.

He is coming.

Hey Ram, my lord...

Where are you barging in?

To see Rama and to wash his holy feet with river Godavari waters.

Don't talk nonsense. l won't approve it.

Once the instaIlation of idol is done non-Hindus cannot enterthe temple.

God doesn't mind it.

That's enough. One push and you will rolI down the mountain.

Stop it. Let that great man get in. - Then we have to go out. -Yes.

What is in your stomach?

Rice he ate today morning. - Shut up. lt is empty.

What is in your brain?

lt is fuIl of... - Shut up. lt is empty.

Never mind ifyou are not allowed to go in. The Lord came to you.

O great man, forgive me.

l committed a sin by insulting a devotee like you. Forgive me.

Hail Lord Rama.

Great devotees, I hereby make arrangements for...

... all to come here irrespective of their caste or religion.

As a beginning to that, l orderthe celebration...

... of Lord Rama and Sita's wedding to be conducted in open air.

Is this how the dolls marriage celebrated?

They are not dolls but God Rama and Goddess Sita.

l missed your wedding ceremony in Treteyug.

lt is fuIfilled today because of Gopanna.

l have also realized that the great devotee Ramadasu is our Gopanna.

l could read your mind, Hanuman.

ln future Gopanna will be know as Sri Ramadasu (servant/devotee of Rama)

Gopanna, your son feIl in the ditch and died.

My son fell into the ditch and fell asleep.

You used to work day and night to build the temple.

He asked me once that why doesn't his father sleep.

l toId him that you cannot sleep until the construction is compIete.

Then he said, he too will sleep when it is complete.

The construction is complete and my son fell asleep.

O son of Raghu dynasty, beloved of Sita

Protector of devoteesN you are fulI of graciousness

PIease be kind to me else...

...life would be difficult for me

O lord, who built a bridge across the ocean to...

... kiIl the demons and to rescue Sita

... who has the Bhadradri mountain as your abode...

...l seek your kindness

Hanuman, save the boy's life. -As you order O Lord.

Mother... - Son...

lt proves that Lord Rama is here.

lt is all a drama by him to make this place a holy place...

where devotees come to pray to their God and be blessed.

KingN our Mattebhai came to tell you something.

Tell meN what it is.

You appointed Gopanna but his deeds wiIl empty our coffers.

What is he doing?

He is instigating people saying that farmers are land owners.

He told them to occupy forest lands too.

He is issuing legal documents of ownership.

ln the name of compulsory' tax he collected 6N00,000 coins...

...and built Rama tempIe without your permission.

He has aIready buiIt it.

How did it strike you to chant Rama's name while playing?

You too keep chanting Lord's name while doing chores.

Like father, Iike son.

You instalIed Rama in the tempIe. He instaIled you in his heart.

He appeared in my dream and named you 'Ramadasu'(servant of Rama).

HaiI Sri Ramadasu.

KamaIa, Rama has blessed me to be his servant. l'm blessed.

Why are you here? - For spending government money

forthe construction oftemple the king ordered fory'our arrest.

Come with us.

You will take him onIy over dead bodies.

l've to obey him. Stop. You obey me as l'm your officer. King is my officer.

l've to obey him.

KamaIa, what's this? Where am l going? l built the temple for Rama.

Forthat I'm going to Krishna's birth place (jail)

Take care of my Lord Rama. Conduct pujas and prayers at the temple.

What wrong has he committed to deserve this?

Everyone has to go through what is written in theirfate.

Why did you misuse government money without my permission?

lt is not misused but put to proper use.

Didn't you think my permission was necessary?

l've written to you for it but there was no reply.

Any prooffor it? - This Pantulu.

SirN l cannot keep quiet nor open my mouth.

You have to talk.

l advised him to seek your permission but he turned it down.

He announced that he is the king and went ahead with the construction.

Now he says something else.

What do you say now?

lfyou believe this crook's words, you may punish me. l take it.

How dare you say so!

l'm telling the truth.

Everything here will be ruined but my Ram temple will stand forever.

The powerN luxuries and possessions are short lived, but not the temple

But it wiIl be written in history that this temple is built during yourtimes.

Look at your nephew!

Stop arguing with elders and accept your mistake.

Excuse me. With elders permission l want to mention elders mistakes.

Elders mistakes!! What mistakes?

Why was Taramati palace and Bhagmati palace built?

What was the purpose to build a bridge between GoIkonda and Bhagyanagar?

Besides this, Charminar is built as a token to...

You built graves foryour dead relatives around Golkonda.

Why? What way are they useful to people

Why is peoples money spent on these with whose permission?

We never questioned you before.

I'm compelled to open my mouth now because l'm challenged..

When you can build palaces as a token to affairs and...

... can build graves in memory of dead relativesN... When you can build palaces as a token to affairs and...

... can build graves in memory of dead relativesN...

... what is wrong in buiIding a tempIe for our Rama?

Our Lord Rama was an obedient son.

He was a one woman man.

He was an example for brotherhood.

He was a just ruler. An emperor.

Not just in Bhadrachalam but every viIlage in lndia wilI have his temple.

Please understand. Stop listening to lies.

Come to Bhadrachalam. Visit the tempIe and be blessed.

Keep alive the harmony between the Hindus and the Muslims.

Shut up. Stop the nonsense.

How dare you question me instead of accepting your mistake?

Imprison this arrogant man.

Torture him severeIy.

Mother, l heard that father is imprisoned and being tortured.

l don't forget your name even in my dream

Why don't you answer to our pleas?

You have saved even the squirrels before

l believed in your kindness towards your devotees

Throw chilli powder.

You are known for your kindness.

Please be kind to us Bhadrachala Rama

What is the opinion of these prisoners, of me?

One female inmate said...-what? -You will hit me if l telI you.

Afteryou eat these you wilI go...

They are not for me but for Ramdasu.

He should cry after eating these pancakes and we should laugh.

You wiIl. - Let us go.

Some noise is coming from inside.

After eating these he will become quiet. Drop it down.

O Rama, your name is so sweet to chant.

lt is sweeter than fruits banana and dates

Sweeter than the sweet rice, and fresh butter

Stop it. Stop it l say.

Have you tortured him?

Has he become docile now? Agreed to say sorry' to me?

Why don't you talk? What is he saying?

He didn't say anything. But sang a nice song.

Song! What song!

ShouId we sing and show you? - Sing.

Lord Rama your name is so sweet to chant.

Shut up.

God, your name is very sweet.

Shut up. What is happening?

You Iooked like him. Are you Matte? -No. - Then who is he?

Hey, who are you? - How can you be so rude to new inmates?

Forget it and tell us what crime have you committed to come here.

An young girl feIl in the well when she went to bathe.

l brought her out and wiped her dry'.

l'll kiIl you. How can you be punished for saying a life?

l came to know laterthat she is the 3rd wife ofMattesab.

You... -What will you do ifyou find Mattesab?

I'll thrash him like we wash clothes. - Then? - Dry him.

Then? - I'll make mincemeat out of him Iike a butcher.

Here is the knife and he is Mattesab. Do it.

You make mincemeat out of me

Mattesab is a nice man. His 3rd wife is a nice lady too. Me too.

Gopanna you knew that whoever marries Kamala

is destined to go to prison.

Yet you dared to marry' her. You don't deserve this.

What has he done to deserve this punishment?

He dared many hardships to buiId Rama TempIe.

ls that a wrong deed? Your God won't forgive you forthis.

Temple of such a smaIl size it costed 6,00,000 coins

l'll make him confess how much he kept for himseIf.

Come onN speak. How much did you keep foryourself?

Rama, the best man of Ekshwaku race....

Who else can save me other than you?

l have built a beautiful enclosure for the temple.

lt costed me 10,000 gold coins.

l got a brooch made for Lakshman which costed another 10N000

For Mother Sita, l got a brooch made worth 10N000 coins and...

For you, a charming crest.

Who do you think has sent this money? Your fatherN king Dasarath?

or your father-in-law king Janaka

Whose grandfather's property do you think it isN to...

... enjoy this grandeur?

Her husband is in jail and she is enjoying 3 meals a day and sleep!

They claim they are devotees.

She crosses river Godavari to offer prayers daily.

Who knows what she does? She crosses river Godavari to offer prayers daily.

Who knows what she does?

Shut up. How cruel you can be?

You add to others suffering?

l'll peel offyour skin if I get angry.

She onIy screamed at you. But you know what l do. Get inside.

You look better behind bars than in the government office.

Shut up. - OhN Ex-Revenue officer's wife!

l beg ofyou to let me meet my husband once.

To see the man who made the mistake of buiIding the temple? Go see.

Husband...

You may leave now.

Husband...

This is unfair. You know him well. Get him released.

We have 2 kings. One is TanishaN who rules the kingdom.

The other is this devotee, who can order Lord Krishna.

We are worthless in front of them.

l cannot take it anymore.

l'Il go to the king and queen to beg foryour life.

Mother SitaN tell him to save me.

O Gem of a woman, tell him to save me.

Daughter of King Janak, tell him to save me.

Lord of Bhadragiri, who is praised by Goddess Parvati...

... when wakes up from sleep, please tell him to save me

O Mther Sita...

Sita, there were no tears when you were asked to enterthe fire in Lanka.

NorN when you were sent offto the jungIe when you were pregnant.

Then why are there tears in your eyes now?

Everyone says you protect those who seek protection.

Then why are you taking so long to save Ramadasu.

Time has come to save him. We wilI do that.

O Allah you are gracious.

Who are you? - My name is Ramoji. - l'm Lakshmoji.

How did you come in?

You uttered AlIah (God) Here we are.

What!! Who are you?

We are servants of Ramadasu whom you have imprisoned.

A man who swaIlowed government money has servants too! Great!

He has not swallowed it but has built a temple with it.

Better watch yourtongue. We are 1 to 2.

Lakshmoji, l told you to control anger.

He is... - Enough. Tell me why are you here?

We came to release him.

Release him! How! WiIl you pay 6,00N000 coins?

We will throw it at you. -You...

There are 6,00,000 coins. Count them and issue us a receipt.

Wife... Look there! - O God!

Hundreds ofguards are on duty. Closed doors are intact.

I wonder how they entered and gone out!

l cannot say it's a dream because

here are the bags of money they gave.

These are not just gold coins but are Rama madas (ancient medals)

100 times more valuable than our coins.

Yes. These were the currency used during Sri Rama's rule.

God, l don't know whetherto believe it or not!!

Hey, Ram, my God...

One cannot understand the acts of Sriram easily.

They came dazzling in the midnight.

Who do you think that Ramoji and Lakshmoji who gave you the gold?

They, in fact, are Rama and Lakshman of lla dynasty.

They appeared to us!! We are so fortunate!!

ln deedN you are. But sinners are some others.

ltching...scratch me scratch me...

What is happening?

They defamed a great devotee because of arrogance and authority.

NowN they are paying for it.

Pray to Ram and you will be alright.

Hail Sri Ram

ltching is gone.

My burning feeling is gone too.

Our Ramdasu is going to be released soon.

Yes. But... - But... what?

Actual story is going to begin from here.

But we won't be here to witness it.

We have to go to the place where we are supposed to be.

RamadasjiN we have committed a mistake by troubIing

a great devotee Iike you.

Our eyes are opened by the appearance of Rama.

please forgive us and accept these giftsN lands and..

Let us carry you personally, in this palanquin to Bhadrachalam.

Let us recompense forthe sins we committed

You are not sinners. You are blessed ones as you could see Rama.

l'm the sinner. That's why l couIdn't see him.

l don't want your services, gifts and lands. l'm sorry.

He is begging you to accept them. Don't refuse, dear.

The God appeared to him and proved they both are of equal status.

l'm onIy his devotee. Aworthless man.

We are there foryou. Please obey us.

Stay in our house at least tiIl the wounds heal. Come.

You can see only my physicaI injuries.

My heart is broken for not being able to see Rama.

How wilI it heal? My heart is broken for not being able to see Rama.

How wilI it heal?

They heal only with my death.

Husband...

Mother Sita chose to bury herself when separated from Rama.

That will be my fate too If l cannot see Rama.

l must know today itself whether Rama blesses me with his appearance.

Husband...

O son of king Dasarat, O ocean of kindness...

ls believing in youN building your temple,...

... praying to you all the time,...

or writing your name a crore times, are my crimes?

Why are you not kind to me? Why have you not appeared to me?

KamalaN look at Shabari.

She first tastes fruits then offers them to Rama.

Look here at Guhudu

My Rama is hugging him.

ls Guhudu your relative to hug him?

Is Shabari your sister to eat the fruits she tastes first?

Have I asked you for your kingdom in my name?

l only begged to see you.

But you won't come. Why don't you be kind to me?

KamalaN he blessed aIl the squirrels just for dropping sand

But l built a temple. Why is he neglecting me?

O son of Raghuvansh, who eliminated the demonsN please be kind

Why don't to appear to me? Come fast.

Husband, what are you doing!

Rama is not coming to me no matter how much l beg.

SoN l'lI go to him instead.

Now l understood where he is.

Yes, Look there.

During Rama's coronation, Sita gave Hanuman a pearls necklace.

He bit in to them to see if Rama is in them.

He threw it away when he didn't find Rama in them.

Then what happened?

Sita got angry'. Asked him to prove if Rama is in his heart.

Hanuman tore open his heart and showed her Rama in it.

lsn't it? -Yes.

What does it mean? lt means Lord Rama resides...

... in the heart of his true devotees.

That means... My Lord is .. in my heart!

Yes. He himseIf named you Ramdas.

Where else can he be otherthan in his devotees hearts?

l'll check if Rama is in my heart.

Husband... No...

Let me go... Let me cut open my heart to see if he is there.

LordN son of Kousalya, O gracious God.

Have you come along with the Mther of Universe to see me!!

He has come here on the day you decided to build the temple to witness it.

ReaIly, O My Lord...

Yes, I'm yours. You built a temple for me.

Even Hanuman praised you for your unmatched devotion.

Look there.

For eternity, countless number of devoteesN sages

had yearned for and done penance...

... to attain salvation and to get to heaven. had yearned for and done penance...

... to attain salvation and to get to heaven.

l'll send you both there alive.

What is salvationN O Lord?

Everlasting joy.

You mean, worship you, pray and singing your praises...

.. reading your holy story etc. can be done there.

No, no such things exist there.

There is no need for all that there. No, no such things exist there.

What sort of a world is that!! Happiness means, chanting your name.

Happiness means, singing in praise ofyou,...

Happiness is serving you.

And writing your name millions of times.

Without all theseN how can that be a happy world?

Forgive me. l don't want it.

You are the first peopIe in the histroy of devotees who turned down salvation.
