The fire that burns within a Kambala jockey

is fierce enough to reduce anyone to ashes.

The buffaloes were born in Kulkunda.

The fire was ignited a further

And between that fire and Karavali,

it was a chair that stood at the centre.

But this was no ordinary chair.

It's the very chair in which

when he came to watch Kambala.

A chair that demands blood.

When Koti Chennayya declared it

the cursed chair began to pay for blood,

[Painful cries of a woman in labour]

[Pain continues]

I'm right here my dear...

[Labour pain in progress]

Amma!

[-Oh no my dear!]

[A man cries out loud]

[Grunts heard]

So you'd rather die than give up the chair?

To Doddavaru, nothing matters but the chair.

Let the loser die!

You can buy whatever you want.

While you have a smile on your face,

Business will be fantastic today!

Love you baby. Lovely baby!

Accha, so was that your wife?

My friend's wife, dude!

He's traveling. But he trusts me

And I'm taking good care of her!

Accha... (is that so?)

Thi guy must be an accha (pure) Kannadiga!

A cow's size doesn't matter.

What matters is if it can earn you good money!

Bahut accha bhai (wonderful)

Bhai, this is such a divine place,

If we can find God by searching for him,

Hey come this side quick!

She's our beloved daughter, Bhoomi.

What's the matter, bhai?

He's the head of this village.

Nor will the matter go to court.

So forget about stealing a cow. No one dares steal

She's not just a cow, but

Bhoomi brings glory to our

She's the last cow of the Kulkunda lineage.

When Dhananjaya is here, why fear!

Yes. But I'll take care of her this year.

By the way, where is Dhana?

[Crowd cheers]

Dhana...

There's still time to get

We just keep letting him

He humiliated us in front of all

So let's also humiliate him in front of everyone.

He dare not mess with us again.

Give me that log.

He must never be able to stand up again.

Let's thrash him in front of the villagers.

He took away our opportunity

Because of him we haven't

Don't worry dude; this will be

We'll show him the consequences

Whether you steal one cow

This is Punyakoti and you won't

The festival begins only

And if we get her,

If she's with us, we don't have to chase prosperity;

Understood? Let's go.

[Yakshagana in progress]

My son, Mahisha! Come!

Dhana! Bhoomi is missing.

The festival cannot be held without Bhoomi.

And if the festival isn't held,

I will find her no matter where she is.

Please don't worry.

I will not spare you today!

How troublesome you are!

There!

I'll get you next time!

And thrash you into pulp!

How dare you bite my buffaloes!

Kill it at leisure, Mr Big Shot!

World famous Mahabala, how can the

Hey, I'll beat you up too, idiot!

Ah! He ruined it.

Pandya, you moron!!

How dare you crash into my vehicle!

How did you touch my vehicle without permission?

Mahabala, I won't spare this guy!

I won't let you get away with this!

Okay, get the buffaloes; we've to leave.

Putting him last is as good

You will win, don't worry.

Really?!

Let's do it!

[Are they ready?]

Ready to let go?

And off they go!

[Mahabala's Chinnu and Munnu buffaloes

Uncle, did you see them run!!

You call that a race? No chance.

Today, we associate Kambala with buffaloes.

Back in our day, Kambala

My bike had the same problem as your buffaloes.

I hope to find a garage around here.

Bhoomi is the daughter of our home.

And I left home in a hurry to search for her.

And along the way, I met you guys.

Whose home?

I've never seen my parents.

My ajji said Lord Subramanya summoned

We don't have Kambala in our region.

I lost track of time after meeting you all.

And I even forgot to look for Bhoomi.

I'll toss you into the well!

Hello madam!

I've been watching you shout at me for a while.

Who said I was talking to you?

My Dhana doesn't listen to me.

I'm tired of telling him...

Damn!

What kind of a dhana (tortoise) is this!

Who cares!

Oh, it's Dhana!

Hey, what brings you here!

Everyone bathes and goes to the temple,

Looks like Mahabala anna has a lot of devotion!

Not for long! There's a toddy shop right

Mahabala maama (uncle), who soaks himself in alcohol,

It's a belief in Karavali that it's sacred to dip in the sea.

It doesn't mean you have to...

Watch it boys!

Anna, please don't thrash me!

I'm sorry anna, please don't beat me up!

It's unbearable!

You'll be fine.

No big deal. It's just a small wound.

You'll be fine if we go to the hospital.

[Public hospital]

Take care.

Hey, what happened to him?

What did the doctor say?

They've bandaged the wound.

They just left.

I was looking for a ride back home.

You almost mowed me down.

Okay, let's go.

I wanted to visit the calf.

I can't make it today though;

So you're taking your dhana (tortoise) to graze, huh?

It's not Dhana (tortoise)

So I bought a female tortoise for company.

So you have remedies for everything...

So what do you want?

Actually, I've tripped over many times.

But have fallen [in love] very few times!

But after meeting you,

Now will I find a remedy

Maybe I won't find either!

So what have you named your tortoise?

I haven't named it yet.

So who is Doddavaru?

If he rejects this girl too...

I'll break his bones and shove him in a corner.

I will ensure he starves.

This is not our path.

You and your Kambala stick together.

But we raised him to stay away

But fate brought him here unexpectedly.

We want nothing to do with any of this.

And let it stay that way.

We've borne enough pain for a lifetime.

We have no desire or the strength

Enough.

We don't want your drama or stories.

Our ties with this region have ended

You thought it was the son?

I beg you to send Dhananjay atleast

It's Mahaveera's son...

Mahaveera's son?!

My dear son...

Seeing you for the very first time

Tears bring back blood-soaked memories

Of life, please turn back time again...

Show us the lingering smile of yesterday

The river of memories has joined the sea

Let's go back in time and bring

With no beginning or end,

the illusion of time

Perhaps it's your mother's wish that

Everyone says it's the chair

It's time to settle scores, Dhana.

No!!!!

Mahabala anna, no! Wait!

Has my little world truly come to an end?

These children who I so lovingly nurtured

have been laid to rest while so full of life

Weren't you the very essence of my life!

How do I live now that you're gone?

The lives that I loved and cherished

As I swallow my pain,

I reminisce all the happiness you

Tell me who is there for me now?

Like the saviour that you were to me.

No.

Let go.

Do you have the capacity

Your courage means nothing

Look what I got for being stubborn!

Give it!

These buffaloes, kambala, this village....

Our life is like that of a flower.

It can find its place anywhere...

For my cursed dream, I sacrificed,

Do you think the cow shed burnt down on its own?

Did the tyre land on your leg by itself?

Look at your leg! Look at mine!

You boys came to work at the oil press.

Why should I sacrifice you

I don't want you all to meet with the

Enough! Your karmic debt with me is over!

Please leave right now!

Please leave.

I'll be fine.

I'm a sinner. A big sinner.

Mahaveera, the debt of Kambala

The debt with Karavali ends!

Brahmavara Mahabala.

I have a question.

Let's see if you can answer it.

If a frog is in front and the snake

Who is the snake here,

Think of us as the witness and answer.

Is it the snake to blame or the frog?

Blame the kite that didn't come until then!

Get up Mahabala.

Your buffaloes are here.

My buffaloes?

My husband's patience can

Imagine what it means when

It was the dream of going in procession on

You don't have to hold a sword to start a fight.

Like Lord Krishna, even taking up the reigns

We have two choices now; we either run in the

How far will you run?

If you had to run away, you should

Do you fear death or defeat?

I think that's the reason destiny

If blood is shed in its waters,

Not every buffalo is meant to race. And everyone

We have lost our sticks and our sense of direction.

Before you came, dreams meant nothing.

They brought us no value or results.

Do you know why?

If you think fear is stone, break it.

If you think its dust, wipe it off.

If you think it's a mountain, cut through it!

The weight of your dream

Mahaveera is not dead. Let the entire Kambala

O man, where are you headed?

You may look up to the heavens,

but who is truly there for you?

Life and death are fought within you

Life and death are fought within you

There, behold the divine

Govinda, the protector of Gokula

have come alive again.

Many have laid their lives

"It's not just blood that

"It's the blood of Kambala."

This was Mahaveera's belief.

In this arena, a demon called Adi Shesha won through

But my dear friend who won with honour,

died and returned to dust.

That man must not be thrashed or killed.

We must kill him with our victory.

Be careful here tomorrow....it's slippery.

Come.

Someone's here to hack

Just go!

Hey! Mahabalanna!

Mahabalanna!

Pandu! Thatha!

Chariot Street.

Mahabalanna!

Kambala

Mahabalanna!

Mahaveera!

We must go on the victory

With our buffaloes.

Before I die, just once Mahaveera!

You thought it was the son who returned?

It's Mahaveera!

At dusk, in this sacred race, run like

Stomp over your rival and

Come on, come on now!

Let the pain in your body and mind

Run past those who crushed you

Your courage is your weapon,

Run like the wind you tough man!

Just run!

The fighting spirit of Koti Chennayya

Chase your honour

When the fallen rise, each step

Hold on to that resolve and rebuild

At dusk, in this sacred race, run like

Stomp over your rival and

At dusk, in this sacred race, run like

Stomp over your rival

Again one is born,

Again one dies

Again one is born,

Again one rests in a mother's womb

This worldly life is vast and hard to cross

O Murari, whose compassion

The treasure lies at the bottom of the ocean.

Not because it was never meant to be found.

But because it was meant

Again one is born,

Again one is born,

Again one rests in a mother's womb

This worldly life is vast and hard to cross

O Murari, whose compassion

Again one is born, again one dies

Again one is born, again one dies...
