Coffee, please!

Coffee!

What?

Why don't you kill me then?

Wet this grass ring in water and wear it on your ring finger.

Remember. Ring finger.

But I usually wear rings on this finger.

Alright.

Sprinkle some water on the rice and put it there.

Take the grass ring off, sprinkle some more water…

…and place it beside that morsel.

How long has it been?

Just 6 minutes.

Take some water in your hand…

…Reminisce the 7 holy rivers…

What are those 7 rivers?

Ganga, Cauvery…

Nile River!

Let the water flow.

Mix curd in that rice and make 15 morsels.

Think of your father and place the 15 morsels on the banana leaf.

So, Madhava…

Why only 15 morsels?

Kattappa is a big time foodie.

He hogs on food.

15 morsels wouldn't fill him up.

I didn't know.

We're supposed to make 17 morsels. Not 15.

Bhaskar, there's a principle behind the number of morsels.

It's only been 15 days since his passing, right?

How do you know it's 15 days?

How long has it been then? Tell me.

Should I take that blame now?

Do whatever.

Hey! Over here. Pass it to me.

Just miss.

Subbu, ball.

Prasanna, how long?

Just a minute. I'll be right with you.

Come on, boys!

Hey, take your position.

How are you, brother?

I'm good. What about you?

I quit my job. Didn't work out.

Didn't work out for them?

Subbu! Come on. See you, brother.

So out of form recently.

Forget it. What else?

I got a new job.

Soon, you're going to quit that as well.

This is different. It's in Bangalore.

Have you lost your mind?

Your dad doesn't let you go and work in Vijayawada…

…let alone Bangalore.

This time, I plan on taking him with me.

Good idea, Subbu. But…

We'd have to use reverse psychology and convince him.

He won't agree if we tell him directly.

Listen… As per the body's condition when it was found…

Today is approximately the 15th day.

Whose body? Who found it? Huh?

Eat. Eat how much ever you want.

He ruined this as well.

He gets pissed off so easily.

Yes. He didn't die. That body isn't his either.

But he's dead to me.

What's your problem?

15th day or the 17th day…

You have the right to arrange the final rites.

But what happens here is totally up to me.

You're supposed to visit, have food and leave.

Instead, why are you creating a mess at my place?

I don't eat outside food.

Then leave right now.

Dad!

Subrahmanyam, get your dad out of here.

I can't believe it.

Me neither.

You don't know the half of it.

He planned to kill his dad.

That is why Kattappa ran away.

He didn't die, okay?

Now he's performing the final rites to some stranger's body.

That is why I can't believe it.

Me too.

Uncle, paper…

Uncle, are your insulin levels high?

Your face looks pale.

Uncle…

I watched a nice program on TV last night.

Crime report.

A guy lived alone in Kolluru.

He was of your age.

Looks exactly like you.

Somebody killed him one day.

Living alone is not at all safe.

But I'm not living alone.

Uncle…

Subbu got a new job.

In Bangalore.

One lakh salary per month.

Why don't you go with him?

We can rent this house.

I'll make sure the rent is minimum 10K.

Nobody could kill you over there either.

That place is safe for you.

Prasanna!

Find a job here itself that lets you come home for the night.

You don't have to go to a new place.

Dad, I'll do it.

Check if it's smooth.

Yeah, it'll do.

You'd say so.

That is why you're not fit for this.

Dad, I can't find a job here.

True. Unless you go looking for it.

Where are you going?

To the farm.

If you're not afraid of losing…

Let's play a game, shall we?

I'm afraid that I might lose.

Ah, shut up and play.

We'll play tonight. I've got work to do.

A job won't just appear miraculously.

Aren't you going to work today?

I am. There's time.

How long?

I'm a medical representative.

I have quite a few apprentices.

They'll manage.

I don't have to go to work every day.

And this is what you tell us every day.

Is it?

Every day! Not true.

Subbu is coming. Look.

Are you taking your dad along to Bangalore?

Did he also get a job over there?

Yeah. Computer Engineer.

Stop mocking.

Bangalore is like home for engineers.

It's the right fit for Bhaskar uncle.

Bangalore's got so many senior engineers.

Senior doctors and engineers have high demand over there.

Didn't you know? I did.

Then why don't you go?

I'm not going anywhere.

Brother, one tea.

Didn't I tell you?

Subbu bro…

We should go to your place. It's urgent.

Why?

Your dad fainted.

What happened?

One minute he was washing clothes and then he suddenly fainted.

Bhaskar, how long are you going to live alone?

Why don't you get your son married?

He's pissed even when it's for his own good.

You're not taking your medicines, are you?

You don't have to yell.

He can hear you.

He can?

Better than you.

Mr. Bhaskar, you can't miss your medicines.

If something goes wrong, we'll regret it later.

Mind your own business.

Don't waste it.

Hey! Why would I?

There's nothing left for me to do.

His disease can't be cured.

Anything might happen suddenly.

All we can do is make sure he takes his medicines on time.

Why don't you hire a home nurse to take care of him?

He can't be doing the chores at this age.

And you need to get a job.

You studied electronics, right?

No. Mechanical.

Looks like you've got no hope.

Isn't that right?

Prasanna… Hmm?

I'm looking for a home nurse.

For you?

No, man!

For managing the house.

Dad needs a home nurse to take care of him.

Oh, I get it.

It's not safe to hire a home nurse.

It's not safe for women, basically.

What are you looking at me for?

He says we can't trust home nurses.

They steal your stuff.

There's nothing to steal there. Except for my dad.

There's an agency in Eluru.

You find good nurses there.

You should've told me that you had such intentions.

No, dad. You're mistaken.

Remember? I told you about the home nurse yesterday.

[In Hindi] What do you want for lunch, sir?

Huh?

She wants to know what you'd like to eat.

Take her away.

[In Hindi] Go inside.

Enough.

Delicious!

She cooked really well.

I cooked it.

[In Hindi] Sir, he doesn't let me do any work around here.

He only cooked the entire meal as well.

Is she from our caste?

Look, Mr. Bhaskar. What's in the caste?

They belong to the upper caste in Haryana.

She and her family are far more superior to our caste.

Am I right?

How long have you known her for?

I met her today itself at the agency.

Hmm.

I know you're not that type of a guy.

What type of a guy?

She's pregnant.

Been vomiting since morning.

3 months.

Congratulations!

Dad, what do we do now?

[In Hindi] If there's no work to do here, I'll get going.

[In Hindi] Theek hai (Okay)?

It's not TK. I'm VK Bhaskar Rao.

You can call me Bhaskar.

Go.

[In Hindi] Theek hai (Okay).

She says okay.

It's 'Theek hai' in Hindi.

[indistinct voices]

This number looks shady.

Don't answer. They'll steal your money.

Hello.

How many times have I told you not to ride the bike?

Doctors has also told you to take your medicines on time.

Are you doing that?

One minute, dad. Hang on. Listen to me.

I'm 34 years old now.

Look at my head.

I'm losing all my hair.

I'll be completely bald in a few days.

My friends are teasing me.

Where are you going?

I've got work.

Look, dad.

I've been offered a good job.

In a Japanese company.

I have to go.

What about me?

Come with me, dad.

Uh-huh. I'm not coming to Japan.

Home for pinched eyes and short legged people.

Just like you.

Everybody looks exactly the same.

I can't keep trying to figure out who's who.

Dad, it may be a Japanese company.

But they have an office in Russia too.

Oh, really? Now I get it.

Didn't they have enough land in Japan that they had to operate from Russia?

Scammers!

Use your brains and find a job here itself.

Dad, did you enroll me into Engineering to work in this village?

I surely didn't do it to send you to Russia.

It's just for 4 years, dad.

There are a lot of Telugu speaking people there.

Including my friends.

I'll visit you every once in a while.

When I die, they'll have to freeze my body till you arrive.

I don't want to turn into a block of ice.

Dad, don't try to stop me anymore.

If I don't take this job right now…

I'll go crazy and hang myself in this very house.

Dad, I don't care what you say.

I'm going to find you a good home nurse and go to Russia.

I'm telling you one more time. Home nurses aren't a safe option.

I told you about the lady who looked after Sridhar's mother, right?

Katyayani.

She's the best.

No. Not her. She's a little old for this.

I didn't mean it like that.

If we hire her and she falls sick…

We'd have to hire someone else to take care of her.

Katyayani will look after Mr. Bhaskar.

A home nurse will look after Katyayani.

The visual of those three in one house is just amazing.

She doesn't need a caretaker.

Katyayani is a home nurse.

She can look after herself.

This house? Yes.

Such a big house for one man?

Lots of them lived here.

Some of them died.

Some of them settled abroad.

Still…

Still, what?

You extend a house when you need to.

But you don't demolish a house 'cause you it's huge, right? Come with me.

What do you think?

There's literally nothing here.

Katyayani, that's what you were hired to do in the first place.

How can I make something out of nothing?

Is there a mixer or a grinder here?

Uh-huh. That's the fun part.

Uncle hates machines.

You should do everything manually.

There's no TV either?

Every time you feel like watching TV, come to our house.

What say?

You can always catch TV serials on your phone later.

But I'd need a lot of GB to do that.

One more thing.

If you ever fall sick, you should be your own home nurse.

Remember this.

I'm only going to pay one of you two.

Don't look at me like that. Take a look around the house.

I'll go get them, okay?

Bro…

Hey. Where have you been since 2 days?

I'm in deep trouble, brother.

I stitched a dress for a girl from the neighboring village.

It's a bit too tight.

I got to know that her brother's coming to hit me.

So I've been in hiding the last 2 days.

I didn't even open the shop.

Did the police come see you? Uh-huh. No.

Let me finish.

Mani bro…

Yes?

Get me a tea.

Want it to be strong?

Really strong!

Bro, I heard they're removing you from the Temple Committee.

Is that true?

Who told you?

Everyone's talking about it.

They're saying you add no value to the Committee.

Did you add elaichi?

Of course. You're like my little brother.

Is there any truth to the rumors?

You came here to have tea, right? Do that.

Mani…

Get me a tea as well.

Don't add elaichi.

Why?

'Cause I'm not your little brother.

I've seen that woman somewhere.

She's a tenant of mine.

They moved here today.

For her daughter's education, of course.

Alright.

Bro, give me the paper once.

I'm not done yet.

You remember the conditions, right?

Yes.

Let me get you a cup of tea. No, thanks.

You came to my tea stall for the first time.

Actually, daughter's alone at home.

She'll be fine. Have some tea.

My tea is pretty famous around here.

Isn't that right, Raghu?

No doubt about it. It's quite famous.

Enough. Okay.

Hey, brother!

You're Bhaskar Rao, huh? Yes.

I'm Ramana.

So?

Did you take my soap?

Uh-huh. I don't use a soap.

A lady saw you take it and told me.

That board says you can't use soaps and shampoos in the lake.

Didn't you get the memo?

I can't read Telugu.

I need that soap to last the entire month.

Hey, get lost.

Brother, give me my soap back.

We were the only two people there.

And there's no chance the birds must've taken it.

Please return my soap.

My wife will kill me if I go home without it.

Please, brother. Return my soap.

Brother, you can keep the soap box.

But please return my soap. Please!

Keep this soap box. Just give me my soap back.

Uncle, looks like your insulin levels are up again.

Prasanna…

I mean, you're becoming leaner day by day.

Katyayani…

You…!

Wake up, Katyayani!

You said he lives alone.

He does. That's Mr. Bhaskar.

I'm leaving now.

Subrahmanyam will leave tomorrow.

Otherwise, I'm going to leave.

It's my first day here.

I have to say the curry isn't my best.

Enough.

Is she also from an upper caste?

What do you think?

My dad's a Brahmin.

Mrs. Katyayani, I need to talk to you.

Tell me.

Dad's particular when it comes to a few things.

Mixer and grinder…

I shouldn't use any machines.

He wants his tea at 4 PM.

Medicines at 3 PM.

He's short tempered. I should keep my voice low.

Shouldn't talk back.

Put less salt in the food.

And sugar, not at all!

Also, I can't sing around here.

How do you know all this stuff?

Prasanna told you, didn't he? He didn't need to.

I've come across so many monsters in my life.

He may be the worst though.

Am I right?

I'll be happy here.

You also go away and be happy.

In Japan, Russia or wherever that is.

It's steel. Don't worry.

Dad…

I might not get this chance again.

I feel really bad to leave you behind and go.

Stop right there.

If you think it's right for you, just go.

Really?

I can't keep you tied in ropes.

You're not an animal.

Katyayani, pack dry chilli as well.

You get those in Russia.

Uncle, are you also going to Russia?

Yeah, right. It's the correct age for him to go.

Who will look after the cow?

Is that really a problem?

Feeding cattle is a big problem here.

Isn't it the same in Russia?

I can't go to a place where you don't find any traces of Ayurveda.

I don't want to cause anybody any trouble.

I'm not leaving this house.

I have no problem being here.

Are you saying the one going to Russia has a problem?

Prasanna, what are you saying?

I didn't mean you.

I said it generally.

Only those who don't have the courage to make it here…

…flee the country.

Dad, there are women around you.

I only have a little bit of oil.

Can't share it with anyone.

Apply it inside.

External use only.

Come inside and apply it, dad.

I don't mind.

He has no bad intentions.

Does he?

Look at how he's laughing.

Let me click a picture.

Smile!

You idiot!

How come you haven't informed that IC is not in supply?

With this kind of irresponsible behavior, we're not going anywhere.

What's wrong with you?

You should be more meticulous about things like this.

Hello!

Hi.

Doesn't she know that Indians have got Independence?

Help me, Lord!

Is she going to attack me? Subrahmanyam, right?

Yes. Yes.

Hi. I'm Hitomi.

Hmm.

Technical Coordinator.

You're a Telugu guy, right? Yes.

I knew it the second I saw you.

Telugu? How come you speak Telugu?

I was born and brought up here.

But my dad was originally a Telugu guy.

Venu.

We knew?

No. V-E-N-U.

Oh, Venu.

And my mom is from Japan.

International!

Funny.

Though I was born and brought up here…

I'm a Telugu girl on the inside.

That's what my dad raised me to be.

I get that when you talk.

Thank you.

I've been longing to speak with someone in Telugu.

Have you never been to Andhra Pradesh?

No, Subrahmanyam. I never got the chance.

After my dad died, I had no family there.

How did you lose your father?

He had Alzheimer's.

How did you take care of him?

We had a home nurse.

I'd go to a pub after work and get home late, Subrahmanyam.

Call me Subbu.

That way, you'll have done my name a favor.

We Telugu people are so funny!

“A parrot came to my window this morning and chirped”

“Look for a way to find warmth in this snowy place”

“Hopping onto branches that bloom in spring”

“It teaches us to walk the colorful paths in life”

“Riding the waves of memories every second of everyday”

“This moment of solace brings a sparkle in my eyes”

When I was 7, my mom passed away.

She fell from the sun shade.

Dad has been anxious ever since…

…that the same will happen to him.

I've worked in 4 different companies in Hyderabad and Bangalore.

The maximum I've worked for is 3 months.

By then, dad would find some excuse to call me back home.

He's not a bad guy.

Just that he wants me by his side all the time.

But I can't stay for long either.

That is why I fought with him and came all the way here.

He's a good man.

“What is tomorrow going to bring?”

“Who's a companion? Where's the destination?”

“World changes with its people changing characters”

“Like a twig floating by in a river”

“Riding the waves of memories every second of everyday”

“This moment of solace brings a sparkle in my eyes”

I'm staying in that apartment.

Want to come up?

Let's have dinner.

Some other time.

I'm bored of Russian food already.

I'll cook something for myself tonight.

See you later.

Have you got nothing else to do?

Bhaskar sir… Bhaskar sir…

Are you always like this?

Like how?

Like this.

I mean, without a mixer and washing machine.

Yes. I don't need machines to get by.

“Your presence brings a smile to my face”

“This heart of mine feels youthful again”

“Words lead to moments and moments lead to togetherness”

“This journey puts me on the edge of the sky”

“Riding the waves of memories every second of everyday”

“This moment of solace brings a sparkle in my eyes”

“A parrot came to my window this morning and chirped”

“Look for a way to find warmth in this snowy place”

“Hopping onto branches that bloom in spring”

“It teaches us to walk the colorful paths in life”

“Riding the waves of memories every second of everyday”

“This moment of solace brings a sparkle in my eyes”

Hey!

What is this?

What happened?

This is like the worst meal I've ever had.

I've had a headache since yesterday.

Couldn't focus on anything.

Adjust for today.

Did you have your medicines or not?

I'll cook my own food from today onwards.

You just do the dishes and laundry.

You think I'm your maid?

Did you just throw a glass at a lady?

What if it hit my face?

What would you like?

Sambar.

Sambar on this table.

Prassana!

What's wrong?

Bhaskar sir's dam has broken this morning.

What the hell!

He's having diarrhea.

Diarrhea at his age is a concern.

Gelusil always helps.

Something wrong with food then.

What did he have for breakfast?

Rice and Sambar from last night. I took it from here only.

Now that broth has found its way out.

Broth. No, thanks.

Have some. I said no.

Did you see? What?

Broth.

What do you think?

I have no business looking at his poop.

He told me from the bathroom.

He was cursing you as well.

This is all because of you.

Katyayani…

You could've been subtle about it.

Damn! She left me starving.

What could I have called poop? Cheese?! You're right.

When you mentioned a home nurse…

I thought it'd definitely be a lady.

He was dad's best friend.

No matter how old I was…

He'd ask me to be careful when I stepped out of the house.

Though dad was bed ridden…

One glance at him and I'd feel strong again.

It's our loved ones' affection for us that drives us.

Prasanna, I'm at a funeral. I'll call you back.

You're attending funerals in Russia?

What's the matter?

Uncle isn't keeping well.

What happened?

Katyayani isn't right for him.

She's not taking good care of him.

Oh, no!

Then you should only find somebody else, Prasanna.

I could. But it will be the same problem with everybody else.

Just a waste of money.

Why don't you come back?

Uncle will feel relieved.

I'll look after him until then.

All well?

I have to go back to India.

Look.

Kyoto Dynamics is very happy with your performance.

And they have some plans for you.

So you have to stay here.

Think about it.

I have to go.

Dad's all alone.

He needs my support.

That's a great decision.

Good. Very good.

It's our responsibility to look after our parents.

But, you could hire a caretaker.

You don't have to go back there and ruin your career.

Subbu, hotel was filled with customers.

So I couldn't pick you up at the airport.

I'll never believe that.

Okay, let's go.

What's with all the luggage, Subbu?

We can't carry it all by ourselves.

Excuse me.

Help us out, please.

Thank god, we found him.

Otherwise, we'd have to hire someone for this. True.

Inside.

Hey! Hey!

I'm leaving.

Your dad will get furious if I come inside.

He's good from a distance.

Do whatever the hell you want. I'm leaving.

Come on.

You pass orders and then don't cooperate.

Just 'cause you're paying us 4K, we're not your slaves.

If I wanted… he's your dad, right?

Uh-huh.

Huh? You only spoke with me yesterday.

Find somebody else.

I'm leaving.

He's the 4th guy who quit in these 2 weeks.

Give me that.

Bro, get that box as well.

You didn't tell you were coming.

I wanted to surprise you.

What about you?

I've got to go.

Have tea. Hold up.

We have a surprise for you.

What's that, dad?

Application for the MRO's Office.

Dad, you're writing over the lines.

It's time to take those glasses off.

Without them, I can't see a thing.

I didn't mean that.

We should consult the doctor and get you a new pair of glasses.

But you're back now.

I'm just visiting.

I booked the return ticket already.

Get me some lukewarm water.

Dad…

Come on out once.

What? Come.

Dad! Dad!

What's that?

Hello, Mr. Bhaskar Rao.

I'm machine 5.25 by Kyoto Dynamics.

Good evening.

Glad to meet you.

This is the new home nurse.

When are you going back to Russia?

Maybe…

Leave tomorrow!

And take this along with you.

Uh-oh!

Home nurse, my ass!

Dad… Dad…

'I have the responsibility to look after you.'

'That is why I brought this.'

Don't say those words.

I never thought I'd see something like this in my life.

Take it away.

Dad, treat it like a human.

A human that follows your orders to the dot.

I don't need a lady…

I don't need this person.

Dad, treat it like a kid.

I've become a burden to my own son.

Can't live with this robot now.

You don't want a mixer, grinder, fridge, phone or TV.

You don't want people around. Not even this robot.

How do you plan on surviving, dad?

Because I'm living my life this way…

You're able to come back here and do all this stuff.

Only time will tell how your kids will treat you.

What haven't I done for you, huh?

Did you ask for my consent before doing everything?

While going to Russia or while hiring that home nurse…

Did you come to me first about it? No, right?

Who are you doing this for?

What are you saying, dad? This is my responsibility.

Hey!

Love doesn't come with responsibility.

It comes with character.

Copy that.

Dad, you're the problem here.

First, you yell out of anger.

Then you say a line from some movie.

Have you ever thought about me?

I haven't had one good night of sleep ever since I left.

I'd be worried every time Prasanna called.

Worried about him and his health.

Do you know that? I'll try to know.

Then I'm not the problem here.

You're worried thinking about me.

You should consult the doctor. Not me.

I'll stay here only.

I'll spend the rest of my life cooking three meals a day for you.

Four, including evening refreshments.

What now?

Don't take my words to your heart.

Get some sleep and leave in the morning.

Give your resignation and come back home.

Good morning, Mr. Bhaskar Rao.

Tea for you.

Take it, dad.

It belongs to the upper caste in Japan.

Mr. Subrahmanyam, would you like to have some tea?

Mr. Bhaskar Rao, tea.

I told you I don't want it.

You didn't tell me.

You just walked away.

That's what I meant.

Copy that.

What do you want me to do with the tea?

Make lemon rice with it.

Sorry. Wrong command.

We can't make lemon rice with tea.

Then you only drink it.

Robots can't drink anything.

I'm going to kill him!

Even if you do, I'll come back to life.

What do you want me to do with the tea?

Pour it on my head.

Robots don't harm their owners.

They're forever loyal to them.

Then let me show you what I'm made of.

Really bad.

Where'd you get this?

The robot made it.

I don't want it.

This is my room.

That's the study room.

Over here is the puja room.

Who's Puja?

Puja… That's the puja room, okay?

Who's this Puja?

Look.

I knew it was a piece of crap.

How's the 5.25 doing?

It's perfect for me.

But I'm not sure dad will use it.

Please make it happen and come fast.

We all miss you.

Okay.

Ash!

Whoa. I'm surprised he knows.

That's the ash from yesterday's cooking.

We take it out every morning.

It's used as manure for plants.

Copy that.

See what a fast learner it is, dad.

Nobody knows everything when they're born, right?

What do you say?

Holy ashes!

Hey!

Who put these in the trash?

Mr. Bhaskar Rao, please don't shout.

Your BP will spike if you get furious.

That increases the blood flow to the veins in your brain.

You might suffer a brain stroke if one of the veins bursts.

Or a heart stroke if the blood flow is constricted.

Who put these over there?

I found those while cleaning your room.

I thought I'd use it as manure.

Only one of us can stay in this house.

It's either you or me.

Do you understand what you just did?

Those were the holy ashes of my mother and grandfather.

We're supposed to immerse those.

Uh-oh!

They'll die of suffocation if you immerse them in water.

Parents of busy kids are confined to the holy ashes pot.

There he goes again.

Subrahmanyam isn't busy.

He is completely free.

Ask him.

Why don't you ask him that?

Say a word and I'll knock you out.

[singing randomly]

Good singing.

New emotion detected.

I'll get going, dad.

What should I do?

Go and get some sleep.

I guess you're really tired.

Robots don't sleep.

You can turn me off when you think you don't need me.

Shutting down.

How can you not use a phone and computer, dad?

How is that even a question?

There were no phones up until the time Gandhi passed.

Che Guevara didn't have a computer either.

Dad, listen.

I know you'll call asking for another robot like this one, within a month.

When you feel like you don't need it, you can turn it off.

Just like the bulbs at home.

It will do everything you need.

Dad, use it if you think you like it.

Otherwise, just throw it away.

See you.

Get going. You're running late.

Bhaskar bro, you're really lucky.

Mind your own business, man.

Hello, Mr. Bhaskar Rao.

Glad to meet you.

Don't worry.

Robots don't harm their owners, no matter what.

Good for you.

Otherwise, I'll turn you off.

Dosa.

Hmm?

You never watched someone make it?

I know how to make dosas. But I never watched anybody make them.

Strange.

Home nurse.

My own son whom I nurtured, left me alone.

How can a machine help?

Robots can do anything that a human can.

No chance.

Harmful object detected!

Activating security mode.

Play 'Maha Pralayam' performed by the Parameshwara Association for Theatre and Arts.

Go into character.

It's time.

Snow-capped mountains have melted.

Ganga river has overflown due to floods.

It's time!

Nobody will lose their lives over the fury of Lord Shiva.

What is it?

Nani, listen to me carefully.

Your dad isn't dead.

I saw him with my own eyes.

In Bhaskar Rao's house.

He was wearing a helmet.

Somehow, I'm suspicious.

His body doesn't look like Kattappa's though.

But, Kattappa is very much alive.

Stay right here.

I feel ashamed to say that you're my dad.

Maybe it's in your fate to die in my hands.

You can't kill anybody with a helmet anymore.

Didn't you know? Kattappa is alive.

Apparently, he's hiding at Bhaskar Rao's.

Nani's father Kattappa is a psycho.

He'd wear a helmet and go burgling.

And kill anybody who came in his way.

Oh, no!

As soon as Nani found out about this, he ran away.

I'm sure there's going to be bloodshed today.

Play 'Maha Pralayam'. Written and Directed by Nani.

We welcome you all.

Stay here.

Stay right here. I'll go look.

What's wrong?

Uncle, did Psycho Kattappa come here?

Psycho?

Babu saw him. Apparently, he was wearing a helmet.

Mr. Bhaskar Rao, tea.

What is this, uncle?

That's Subbu's friend. He's looking for a job.

He's staying over for a few days.

Good morning.

Oh. Hello.

So they brought it in big boxes and joined the pieces, huh?

It does everything around here?

Who knows?

I do.

I can do any kind of task.

What's your name, sir?

I'm Robot.

Android version 5.25.

Robert.

So you're Christian.

I'm Prasanna. I live in this village.

Bhaskar is my uncle.

Glad to meet you.

Come here.

Come close.

Come on.

Robot!

Hey, this isn't Kattappa.

To be honest, uncle hasn't been keeping well.

And Subbu is busy in Russia.

So, he brought this home to help dad.

His name is Robert.

Does it have Wi-Fi?

I don't think so.

Must be android.

Windows.

If any of you want a selfie, go ahead.

It looked exactly like Kattappa from behind.

Come take selfies.

One by one, okay?

Don't push.

Everybody will get their turn.

Heard of this, sister?

You know who's taking care of Bhaskar Rao?

It's a robot.

It makes tea. Cooks food.

Does laundry. Cleans the house.

Cleans his poop as well.

It also hands him…

What? Urine?

No, man. Food.

It's not in our culture to have robots. It's the Western influence.

By the way, can it stitch?

I'm sure. But I don't think it can stitch the buttons.

Apparently, it reads our minds. Oh, really?

We can't read shit on a piece of paper.

It's a male.

Android Kattappa.

Definitely male!

Don't repeat what you did last time.

Make sure I'm in focus.

Sir, we're coming from a news channel.

We want to know about the robot.

Please come inside.

Let's go.

Robert.

TV.

Robot looks old.

Hey! That's my uncle.

Robert's the robot. Sorry, sir.

Sir, we're coming from a news channel.

Tell us about the robot.

Who brought it here?

My son.

Can we meet him?

He's in Russia… Japan right now.

Is that him, sir?

Cut. Cut. Cut.

That's Jackie Chan.

Mr. Bhaskar Rao…

This is Robert.

A call from Subrahmanyam.

Dad, how are you doing?

What's up?

Nothing much.

My peace of mind has been taken away.

Move!

Hello, sir. What do you do?

Leave my dad alone.

Don't create a scene there.

Please get out of there immediately.

Let them do their job, Subrahmanyam.

Public needs to know about our product.

Good morning, Mr. Babu.

How do you know?

Babu Chintamalla.

No mutual friends.

You're self-employed.

Studied at ZP High School, Guttaigudem.

You're living in the District of Kaverikunta.

You were born on the 10th of March, 1978.

235 friends.

You have communist feelings. You're a devotee of Lord Ayyappa.

You're fond of cinema and sports.

Your favorite actors are Pavan Kalyan, Prabhas and Samantha.

You've travelled to Goa on the 15th of December, 2016.

You went on an Ooty tour on the 10th of October, 2017.

Latest status-feeling sad.

How do you know?

We won't be needing the newspaper from tomorrow.

You don't get to decide that.

You can tell me what the issue is. But please don't cancel the subscription.

Only someone who reads a newspaper will know the joy of it.

Reading a newspaper gives you knowledge. Not joy.

I sit and read the newspaper in the toilet.

You should do the same.

Your knowledge will increase.

Definitely.

Shameless!

It's no surprise.

You come from a land where people use paper to wipe their butts.

Why would you have any shame?

Shame? What's that?

I'll get going.

Got too many deliveries.

May I help you?

How do you know Babu?

Facebook.

Do you know about everyone?

Everyone that has an account Facebook.

What about Prasanna?

Prasanna has no Email, Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.

No Whatsapp, Skype or Google either.

Prasanna does not exist.

There are no proofs to say that Prasanna is alive.

Worm.

There's a worm.

All clear.

Vitamin A 38 percentage.

Dad…

When are you coming back?

Now do you agree that technology brings people closer.

Does technology mean invading someone's private space?

Stay outside.

What's so funny?

I thought dad must've broken the robot into pieces by now.

Nice.

May I help you?

I can help myself.

I was created to take care of you.

Let me do it.

It's my duty.

You were created to piss me off.

Love isn't a duty.

It's an emotion.

You told Subrahmanyam that love doesn't come with responsibility.

But with character.

True.

Love is an emotion that springs from good character.

Your metal brain won't get it.

Love makes you feel a lot of things.

Where are you headed?

On a bride-hunt for you.

I'll go pay the electricity bill.

We can do that from right here.

Electricity office won't come to your doorstep.

We need to go there.

You can pay it online.

Why does he wear the same clothes all the time?

His son earns pretty well.

Why doesn't he buy a new pair of clothes?

Money can only change a few.

Maidanam bro, have you got a job?

You're always sitting under this tree.

Bhaskar bro…

[In Telugu] Hey! You look like a quirrel that's lost its weeds.

It's a squirrel. Not quirrel. And it's seeds. Not weeds.

Your face looks like one though.

I want to resign and go back home.

That robot isn't exciting dad a bit.

But it wasn't created to excite him.

Enough. Let's head home.

Hello.

How many times do I have to call you?

I'm a little busy. Can I call you back later?

I didn't call to chat with you.

Uncle met with a small accident.

I thought I'd tell you.

You can call back if you want. But that's what happened.

Hello? Hello?

Where did dad go?

Electricity office.

Idiot! Dad met with an accident.

Go and check.

Copy that.

Who's there?

Mom… Hmm?

What is it?

There's somebody behind those shrubs.

Must be some dog or cat.

You scared the hell out of me.

Hello, Miss Sita.

What are you doing here?

Mr. Bhaskar Rao is missing.

I came here looking for him.

To our house?

Battery low.

That is why I stopped here.

Battery low.

Mom, let's keep this robot.

I'm struggling to make both ends meet…

…and you want to keep the robot?

Send it back.

Alright.

First let me check my mails.

Do you have Wi-Fi?

Of course.

If somebody sees it here, they'll think we stole it.

You're not getting a broadband connection anyway.

Let the robot stay here for a while.

I'll check my mails.

How will I get a job otherwise?

Once you get a job, you can buy whatever connections you need.

Send it back!

Don't piss me off.

Battery charged sufficiently.

Thank you.

Mr. Bhaskar Rao?

Robert is not a showpiece.

He's here to take care of you.

Where is it?

Is it sleeping?

There you are!

Where did you go?

Out on a stroll, huh?

You need to take responsibility, okay?

Looks like you've gained weight since you got here.

Luckily, Babu was there to help uncle.

I can't imagine otherwise.

Everybody's saying that Robert here is way better than your son in Russia.

Subrahmanyam doesn't even have the time to take my call.

Thank god, I didn't become an Engineer.

Otherwise, my dad would've also had a pitiful death.

Uncle, I didn't close the hotel. I have to go.

A call from Subrahmanyam.

Dad, what happened?

Nothing.

Why did you go alone?

You can ask the robot for whatever you need.

It will take care of it.

Okay. When are you coming back?

Signal lost.

It's strange.

Whenever parents ask 'When are you coming home?'…

…kids manage to interrupt the signal.

Bro, I think Subrahmanyam works in a really famous company.

Look at this.

He must be paid well then.

Maybe 4-5 lakhs per month.

Why are you feeling so bad?

5 lakhs! That's a lot more than I imagined.

I should've also become an Engineer.

Bro…

Huh?

How much do you think this robot is worth?

Umm… around 2-3 crores.

Crores?!

I need to start taking life seriously.

I've got to find some work.

Even if you start working now, by when will you earn crores?

Madhu bro…

Subrahmanyam and I were classmates.

He had a runny nose all through his childhood.

Now he's an engineer in Russia.

Maybe his runny nose brought him luck.

Hey! Can't you see we're in the middle of a serious discussion?

You idiots!

Did you talk to dad?

Yeah. He's fine.

It would've been nice if mom was around at this time.

Subbu, do you miss your mom?

Dad never let that thought cross my mind.

My mom and dad got a divorce as soon as I was born.

Uh-huh? So you're the reason they got a divorce?

So funny!

We Telugu people, I tell you.

Oops. Sorry.

Oh, lord!

“Affection shall grow with passing time”

“Love shall lead you through the dark tunnel”

“It's like spring all over again in my withering heart”

“You've become the nest to this lonely bird”

“You've held my hand in togetherness”

“When I was abandoned and in distress”

“You've touched me like the first drops of dew”

“You've become the voice of my silenced heart”

“You've become the sky above my head in tough times”

“Your words and glances have kept my heart going”

Don't just stand there like you're guarding my dead body.

Go and get some sleep.

Robots never sleep or get tired.

You don't have to sleep.

Turn off your emergency head lights and step out for some time.

Subrahmanyam is online.

You only talk to him.

We've been meaning to visit you and your son Kattappa for a while now.

We finally got the chance.

Who's Kattappa?

Everybody in the village calls him Kattappa.

That is why we also did.

New name uploaded.

Hello, Kattappa.

I'm Janaki. Tailor Raghu's mother.

Hello.

This is my elder sister Devaki. We live together.

Give him something to wear, Bhaskar.

He must be feeling uncomfortable to walk around naked.

Is that something people in Russia do?

Don't you feel shy, Kattappa?

Shy?

I mean, uncomfortable.

Uncomfortable?

“You're the first ray of light that has dispelled my dark abyss”

“It's wonderful how the first blooms of friendship smile”

“Your love drenches me in the showers of hope”

“Hope this relationship lasts a lifetime”

Looks like a cheap cover case on a costly phone.

“Affection shall grow with passing time”

“Love shall lead you through the dark tunnel”

“It's like spring all over again in my withering heart”

“You've become the nest to this lonely bird”

“You've held my hand in togetherness”

“When I was abandoned and in distress”

Looks so funny!

Look at that.

So much love!

Have you ever dried my hair like that?

Have you ever asked me to?

Do it slowly, man.

No. It's pretty wet.

Okay. Apply some more pressure and kill me.

Wrong command.

Stop.

Where do you think you're going with that toy?

I'm not a toy.

I'm Android Kattappa. Version 5.25.

By Kyoto Dynamics.

Glad to meet you.

I don't care who you are.

Outsiders aren't allowed here.

Strictly Hindus only.

He's living with me and taking care of me.

And he believes in Hinduism.

I don't believe it.

Then why are you working as a priest?

I meant I don't believe in this robot.

What's your proof to say that it's Hindu?

[chanting]

Heard that?

It's saying, 'Don't try to stop me. Let me in.'

Ramayan, 3rd Sloka, 4th Chapter.

[Reciting a Sloka]

This robot is not a toy.

Mr. Bhaskar, try to understand.

If it comes inside, it's an insult to the temple.

He's a Hindu.

What the hell!

How can you say that?

Look, Murali. Hindus don't have anything such as Baptism.

You hold on.

This isn't a communal issue.

If some stranger showed up at your doorstep saying he's your brother…

Will you let him in?

Will you?

No way! Then hold it right here.

God resides in the hearts of every Hindu.

Oh, Lord Rama!

Take me to the railway station.

I said don't create a scene.

Delhi is not that far.

Call me as soon as you reach. Hmm.

See you online tomorrow. Okay? Hmm.

Auntie, take care of mom.

See you.

Soudamini, don't cry.

It's a good day in your daughter's life.

Be happy.

Let her cry. Let it all out.

That way, she'll feel relieved.

Kattappa…

Yes, Mr. Bhaskar Rao?

Is Soudamini on Facebook?

In case she is…

Searching for Soudamini.

Come on, man! That's not her.

It's her! This is Soudamini.

Not bad. We can search for whomever we want on Facebook.

I wish I had known sooner.

I'm hungry, mom. Talk to you later.

What? You didn't have your dinner yet?

Why don't you eat on time?

I'll go grab something before the canteen closes.

Enough talking. Go and eat something.

Just a minute.

Mom, any updates on Facebook?

I don't know, girl. Stop it.

In Japan, you can happily express your love in public.

We can't do that here.

Girls here get raped or acid thrown on their faces.

My age doesn't permit me to do either.

In Japan, you could marry the person you love, whenever you want.

When did I tell you I want to get married?

First, stop boasting about Japan.

Japan is so miniscule that a bunch of men can turn it upside down.

Coming to India, it's pretty big.

So are our problems.

Over there, you can get married even when you're old.

And live together even though you're not married.

I wish I was born there.

Here, marriage is nothing but a license to buy groceries.

Hey...!

Subbu can't know about any of this.

Especially about Soudamini.

You are starting to behave like a typical Telugu person.

Don't start gossiping, okay?

Of course not.

Looks like Bhaskar Rao is going through onesided love now.

Oh, really?

Like a loan given to Vijay Mallya.

There's no update on either of the events.

Oh, nice!

How much is this?

150 rupees.

200 rupees.

This?

Two rupees.

Ten rupees.

Ten rupees.

How much now?

229 rupees.

So the change?

What change? You still owe me a rupee.

I'll give you that next month.

We don't need the newspaper from tomorrow.

What is he saying?

I read online now.

What about the joy of reading an actual paper?

Well, there is joy in this too.

My eye sight is declining.

On a screen, you can zoom in and make the letters larger.

Got it? Now go.

Kattappa! A merciless death awaits you. This is my curse.

I swear upon the good lord.

You don't get away with hurting someone in the Press.

Better get your horoscope checked.

Sir, snacks.

Serve it to him too.

He doesn't drink.

We make offerings to God, even if he doesn't actually eat it.

Keep it there.

Thank you.

We need his time and date of birth.

And his sun sign.

Hi, dad.

I need the his time of birth.

What?

Well, I need his time of birth and date.

Even I don't know. Give me a moment.

Do you know Kattappa's date of birth?

You mean date of manufacturing?

8 January, 2019.

08012019.

[technical horoscope terms]

People around him, including you, will only have to gain from his company.

However, this is not a good phase for him.

He may have the wrath of foes.

Perhaps causing stomach problems.

Kind of like a mobile/computer virus.

Nothing much complicated.

His eyes could be affected as well.

Maybe a scratch on his lenses.

Avoid long distance travel.

Your family deity seems to be unhappy with him.

Nothing to worry.

Everything has a remedy.

Make an offering at the Bezawada Kanaka Durga temple.

Also get a ritual performed at the Mavullamma temple.

You need to do it as soon as possible.

There's nothing to worry about.

Stay positive.

Where are you coming from, uncle?

From the astrologer.

Why?

Got his horoscope checked.

Got a sanctified amulet for him to ward off the evil eye.

Walk fast.

Uncle, is everything alright?

Hey!

Get in quickly.

You could catch a cold if you're drenched.

Let me get that towel.

Why did you go out in the rain?

You could've just let the clothes be.

Didn't you hear the Astrologer?

There is threat to your life.

Who do I have if something happens to you?

Subrahmanyam and Prasanna.

They'll also get old and die.

Then who will I have?

Death is inevitable for the whole of mankind.

It could come through old age, suicide, murder, disease, accident or starvation.

This is not applicable to robots.

Many such legends are now mere statues on the roads, where crows shit on them.

You won't be different either.

One can erase me.

My memory could be deleted.

Then?

Then you can sell me as scrap.

You can change the password and add a fingerprint.

After that, only you can erase me.

Nobody can see my activities unless you approve.

Otherwise?

Subrahmanyam can watch everything I do.

Through this camera.

He's watching everything?

Of course!

Mom, did you make dosas for me?

Just a moment.

There is no chutney.

Take some from Prasanna's hotel for today.

As always.

How many dosas did you pack? Six.

Yeah, don't reduce that number.

You've been brushing forever.

Breakfast is not ready yet.

Raghu, you have got the lyrics wrong.

Will keep that in mind.

Always sings it wrong.

Good for nothing.

Oh Lord! Guide me through to make my business successful.

Raghu bro...

Is mom's blouse ready?

It will be ready in a moment.

You take a ride and come back.

You're always late on delivery.

This time, I won't be.

If it's not ready by the time I'm back…

I'm going to burn your shop down. Got it?

Raghu...

Bhaskar bro…

I need you to stitch a shirt.

Why not?

Dosa.

Put it back. It's his breakfast.

Not for me.

It's for him.

I've gone a level up, as I'm stitching a shirt for a robot.

Shoulder-34.

Arm-50.

Chest-44.

Waist-28.

Height-40.

What a memory it has got, Bhaskar bro!

I need an assistant here. Would you like to do it?

There is no need for him or me to work for money.

My father has earned enough money for us.

It's a good thing if he also earns something.

Who will look after him when he gets old?

I will.

What did you say your height was?

Height-40.

Come after a couple of days. I'll get it ready.

Okay. Let's go.

You didn't give me the cloth.

Here.

[singing randomly]

Is it done?

Take the money from my dad.

Hmm.

Did you come home drunk today as well?

How did you know?

You pretended to have dressed for work today.

Where are you going?

To Radha's daughter's wedding.

I'm going for lunch.

I'm starving.

I haven't cooked anything. You also come with me.

But I wasn't invited

Neither was I. But I'm attending.

You got a new blouse made for a wedding you weren't invited to?

Do I go without one because I wasn't invited?

Some masala curry, please.

This is a blouse!

Where is that packet?

I ate it.

What?! You ate my new blouse?

You try to flatter my wife with dosas, you scum!

Stop! Hey, there. Stop!

I know she's pretty.

But she doesn't need your dosas. Stop it! I did nothing.

Kattappa swapped it.

Kattappa is so dead in my hands.

You mark my words. Get out of here.

Who does he think he is?

Forget it.

Who is Mr. Bhaskar Rao here?

It's me.

We are from the Municipality.

Hello!

We have got a complaint against you.

Do you have the license to run this?

It runs on its own. No license as such.

Listen, you need sanction from the Government to run such machines.

Will you take the responsibility if it attacks somebody?

Prasanna...!

What happened, uncle?

Call Subbu.

The municipality took Kattappa away.

Why do they need a robot?

Quick. Call him.

Hi, Prasanna.

Subbu...

Some guys from the Municipality came and took Kattappa.

Apparently, we need a license.

The Municipality?

Is dad around?

Talk to him.

Hello?

What happened, dad?

We were home as usual.

They came and took Kattappa.

Don't worry, dad.

They can't take him away. I'll look into it.

You go home.

Kattappa will be home soon.

But, how could they just take him? Huh?

We can't trust anyone these days.

What if they do something to him?

He can't even cry.

I don't think I can be at peace without him.

Dad...

What happened?

Dad thinks of the robot as his son. Damn!

The world has gone rogue ever since computer and the internet came into the picture.

Now people are using these robots to help them with their crimes.

Switching a dosa with a blouse is a cybercrime?

There wasn't even any chutney alongside dosa. I don't know about all that.

Get an undertaking from the police that they take responsibility.

We'll see then.

Will they give it? How would I know? Ask them.

Why is the communist party showing interest?

So many home nurses are going to lose their jobs because of this.

That's where you went wrong.

That's his forte.

Bank loan recovery, property disputes, mediation and Real Estate.

It's been his business for 8 years now.

You don't know how it works here.

Sir, there is a message from the Prime Minister's office.

Officer!

Did Charles Shobaraj use the internet to commit his crimes?

Did Sukumara Kuruppu use Whatsapp for his murders?

Answer me!

Did those 42 men rape that 16 year old for 40 days in Suryanelli with the help of...

Google.

Did they use Google? Huh?

Did Lord Krishna have 16000 wives, because he had a Facebook account?

Exactly!

This is entirely your incompetence!

What? What did I do?

What kind of a brother-in-law are you?

Useless fellow!

Don't yell. Come sit.

What can I get you to drink?

I don't want anything.

You stopped drinking?

The wig...

Why did you let it go?

This was sent by his son.

Sanction from the PM to use the robot.

I had no option.

Our Prime Minister?

Who else? We don't even have access to him.

Isn't he always abroad!

He signed an MOU in Japan to import 50 such robots across the next 5 years.

This is a trial run.

How is it possible? Wasn't it on a 4-month trial? You must return it.

Sir, I'll buy it somehow.

I can understand your situation, but that machine isn't for sale.

I could lose my job.

This is surely the handiwork of Babu.

Now, nobody can do anything, let alone Babu.

The mail my son sent was that powerful.

Bhaskar Rao, what's your son's salary?

Why?

I thought it'd be fun to know.

Where's the fun in that?

Real fun is in earning.

My dad won't agree to return it, sir.

Don't you get it?

Go get it back

I need you to hand over the machine immediately.

I don't care if you have to kill your father.

What the hell did you just say?

Two out of the four robots that went for the trial run have failed.

If anything happens to your father, we'd have to shut down the company.

I'm saying this for our own good.

Stop it!

A message from Soudamini!

What's the message?

'Who are you?'

Oh!

'Thought I'd forgotten you. Memories came back when I saw you again.'

Mr. Bhaskar Rao, would you like to live in the future world?

Mr. Bhaskar Rao, Babu and Soudamini are of the same caste.

You hate Babu and love Soudamini, which makes you a hypocrite.

You're two faced.

Caste and Religion have no place in the future.

If you get rid of these thoughts, you can live in the future already.

Soudamini...

You're Soudamini, right?

Yes.

Do you remember me?

No?

We were in the type writing class together.

I am Satya

Satya?

Yes!

How have you been?

Well... what can I say?

Where do you live now?

Satya...

Yes?

Are you on Facebook?

No… No…

“Come, oh, come, my cute flower, flying in the wind“

“Come secretly into my wind of online chat”

Rani, look. Are they twins?

“I have been circling the 'net' as a beetle to kiss you”

“If you come to my 'inbox' for a chat in the evening “

“Silly girl, that would be a festival of flowers for me “

“I would play Cupid for the Dussehra fest “

“My dear love, you be a red flower for me “

“Don't get hung, or run low on battery “

“Don't 'delete' me, saying 'Your memory' is full “

“Don't delete me; Don't shut me down either”

“I am the key board on your fingertips “

Kattappa, when is the day of Ekadasi?

Ekadasi falls on the 8th of November.

At least there is someone who still keeps track of auspicious days.

Kattappa…

Kattappa!

Soudamini…

Kattappa, I need to ask you something.

Okay.

Some anonymous creep is stalking me on Facebook.

Uh-oh!

Can you find that stranger for me?

That 'creep' might be some poor chap who wants to talk to you.

No, I have asked him for his name several times.

He just keeps flirting. Doesn't say who he is.

I am thinking of reporting him to the police.

Uh-oh! No need. He will stop.

Hmm. I still need to know who he is.

Will you please find him for me?

I will try.

Soudamini, why did you miss the Dokra group meeting?

I was busy with some work at home.

Yeah, but that's an everyday thing.

My daughter is not well. You had the meeting at the same time.

I was on the computer., Skype calling my daughter.

Don't get too addicted to Skype and Facebook. Be careful.

“Let's go for the folk play at the carnival?“

“Let's have a heart to heart chat“

“If you go out of coverage, I shall track you with GPS”

“This is the second honeymoon, after a secret wedding“

“I am a dual SIM, which suits your handset“

Let's go.

She's in a bad mood.

“I saw your 'message', you beetle like cloud “

“You have become a 'virus' inside me”

“I shall try to 'format' and re-'install' to cure this “

“Shall search the 'recycle bin' and 'restore' it“

“Naughty lover beetle, we have a lot to chat“

“But, do you have the youthfulness for a life together?”

Nobody's home.

Where did she go?

Didn't even leave a message.

Dad…

Sorry.

That's my dad.

Father-in-law!

Meet Hitomi, my friend.

We work together.

She belongs to our caste only.

Right?

Yes.

So what?

Caste and Religion have no place in the future.

If you get rid of these thoughts, you can live in the future already.

How cute!

You take that room.

Why did you get here so suddenly?

Wasn't very sudden.

Took us a while to get here.

May I help you?

No, you have done enough and more. I can manage it.

Hey... Let her use this room.

Why?

Some of my things are there.

I'll clear those.

Hey!

Don't take that.

That may not fit you.

That's dad's room. Keep it there.

Can I get some tea, dad? Let the robot do it.

Where are you going, dad?

To help him. He does not know where the mustard seeds are.

Why does he need mustard seeds for tea?

Don't you want dosa?

Still, why would he need mustard seeds?

For the chutney, man.

Dad, all I asked for is tea and he'll make it. You sit here.

Nice house!

Kattappa...

No messages since a week!

From?

Souda... err... Kar.

Soudakar.

Your maternal cousin Sudhakar.

He is my Facebook friend now.

How long are you visiting for?

As long as you want.

Won't you lose your job?

Didn't you say I should find a job here…

…that I can come home from at night?

I want to stay back.

Why?

Nowadays, it is not easy to find a job.

You go back to Russia.

Kattappa takes good care of me.

So?

I know it is not the same as me being here.

Moreover, no matter who is looking after you…

I'm always anxious about you.

So, I've decided to come back.

Will she go back alone?

She is also staying.

We've decided to get married.

Congratulations!

Come.

Why do you need it during bedtime?

Switch it off for a while.

You think it's a machine to just switch it off?

Give it some rest, okay?

I want to listen to music.

The situation is more serious than we thought.

Should we just shut it down?

No… No…

We just need to be careful.

If we take it forcefully, it will be a shock.

Let's convince him.

I am sure he'll understand.

He seems like a nice man.

We should be with him always.

Hi, Kattappa!

Who's this? Is she a new robot?

She's my friend.

Thank you.

Mr. Bhaskar Rao, we need to talk in private.

What?

Something he hasn't even told his son.

I need to use the loo.

What?

I need to pee.

Come.

Good bye, Subrahmanyam.

This is what I was telling you about. I think he's lost his mind.

In 35 years, I don't think he has ever prayed for me.

But he got Kattappa's horoscope checked.

Well, no point blaming him. It's entirely your fault.

Who gives an old man such a toy?

Babu, I am thirsty.

You just had a drink.

Thirsty for revenge, you fool!

Mm-hmm.

I'll kill that bloody Kattappa.

That very name drives me crazy.

I'm moving out of this village.

My owner has plans to rebuild the house.

Could not tell you, as I was in a hurry.

I knew you'd find out anyway.

Kattappa...

Why do you think Subbu and that Hitachi came now?

It's Hitomi.

Whatever! Why are you getting offended?

Why are they here?

No idea.

Hi.

What are you doing here?

I am going to cook from today.

Not just cook.

I'm only going to take care of you from now on.

I need half a glass of tea.

I told you half a glass.

You drink how much ever you want, dad.

Whatever I want is what I asked for.

Couldn't you just give me that?

Come on.

Where are you going?

To the lake.

What do you need this for?

Should I go alone?

What if something happens to me there?

Come on, Kattappa.

You stay here. I'll come with you.

You stay right here.

Grated coconut is kept on the counter.

Grind it well on the grinding stone.

Only then it tastes well.

Fry the mustard seeds properly.

But don't burn them.

Come.

Hey, Subbu. Where are you both going?

I'm going to have a bath.

He is coming along to wipe my head. Got a problem?

Nothing, I was just asking.

Why are you trying to embarrass me?

Embarrass you?

If that's the case, having wiped your head for 10-12 years...

I should have died of embarrassment.

Where does he get the money to buy new robots every week?

Is the robot on leave today?

Who did you say made this?

Hitomi

Do you think I'm I am a fool?

Huh?

That robot took care of me for the last 3-4 months.

Despite all my antics, he fed me, he bathed me, made me laugh.

Never disobeyed me or talked back to me.

I was never scared also. Till now.

Didn't you tell me to treat it as a child and teach everything?

It was he who made me feel alive.

For you, he might be just a machine that does household chores.

But for me, he is my son.

If he goes, who will stay here? Hitomi? You?

Since how many years have I been asking you to immerse your mother and grandfather's ashes?

Huh?

If you don't even have time for that, how will you look after me?

Even if you stay here for me…

…and If I became bedridden...

…you wouldn't even be able to clean out my crap.

You will find another home nurse.

I call you to play chess so that we can have a conversation.

But you have a problem with that too.

I am not saying these to make you cry.

He cannot replace you as my son.

Neither can you replace his place in my heart.

Hey!

What are you doing?

You…!

What is this, dad?

Look what she is doing to Kattappa.

Dad, stop it! No, I won't!

No matter what you say, we need to return it.

They gave it to us only for four months.

We can't keep it anymore.

Neither the Government nor the company will allow it.

I don't have the authority to keep it.

All the other robots from this batch have failed.

This one will harm you for sure.

So many parents have been murdered by their children.

Does that stop anyone from being a parent?

Does it?

Do you value that machine more than me?

Did I ever ignore you, Dad?

When I was staying away from you…

Have you ever shown this affection towards me?

This machine will definitely kill you, dad.

He won't do any harm to me.

It's only in your imagination.

Uncle, please understand.

This is only a machine programmed by somebody.

This is not like us, humans.

Aren't we all the same?

Programmed by someone!

We call it destiny.

You call it programming or whatever the hell you like.

We left everything behind to come and look after you.

I have to return it.

Or none of us will be at peace.

It's a criminal case. I could be arrested.

I want to live with you forever.

I left everything behind to be here with you. Isn't that enough?

Good Morning, Mr. Bhaskar Rao.

It's 07.30 AM.

Time for your breakfast.

Hitomi, when are you coming back?

He is not willing to give it back.

Check your email.

Shut the machine off immediately.

His father is in danger.

Dad... Dad...

Tickets...

Did you get the ticket?

Yes, brother.

Kattappa is also missing. You come fast.

I saw that father and son on the way to the pond yesterday.

Let's go.

Did you call Subrahmanyam?

He went out on the bike.

Not answering calls.

Mavullamma temple… Mavullamma temple…

Those who are going to Mavullamma temple, this is your stop.

Would the old man have fallen into this well?

It's the old government well, right?

There is no water in it.

If there is no water, it's no well, just a pit.

Are you not coming?

The search would have been interesting at night with flashlights and all.

This being in the day, it's no fun.

You go ahead. I'll join you guys later.

It's deserted.

Not even an insect is around.

A call from Subrahmanyam.

Switch it off.

Calling facility disabled.

This way.

Where are we going?

Nowhere really.

Wherever this path can possibly lead to.

We can live here in the forest like the local tribes do.

There is enough here for two to survive without having to work.

After all, I have lived an entire life without working.

It's time for your medicines.

Hmm.

Now nobody will notice you.

Hold these.

This one as well.

The Mavullamma temple the astrologer suggested is somewhere here.

You run a search.

We need to offer some special prayers for you.

I brought everything we'll need.

After that, we head to the Ganges.

On her deathbed, my wife asked me to get her son to scatter her remains.

Even after all these years, I couldn't that happen.

My dad told me the same before he passed away.

He wanted his ashes to be scattered along with hers.

The last wishes of the dead are a joke to the living ones.

Nobody is going to come back to check.

Battery low, need to recharge.

Ah!

A message from Soudamini.

Opening voice message.

'Hello! Where are you? Not even a text?'

'Have you forgotten me?'

'How could I!'

'I'm coming to you.'

Mr. Bhaskar Rao, why didn't you marry Soudamini?

Soudamini...

I didn't have the courage to face her.

This courage that I have now, I didn't have back then.

The moment I told my parents about her, my father packed me off to Athili.

I had to live there for some years, looking after our land and crops.

During that time, she married someone else.

And when I was ready for marriage, they got me married too.

I eventually forgot her.

Love is like that.

If not maintained well, it will crumble down like an abandoned house.

You're not old enough to understand all this.

Yes, I would not understand.

I am programmed only to assist you.

I am not human.

Get lost, you!

What Subrahmanyam said is right.

They will find us no matter where we go hiding.

They will take me back and erase my memories.

What good are we without our memories?

Like a vehicle without fuel that is left in a corner.

New memories will be installed.

I am but a trial run.

They will take me back to fix the bugs and errors.

I don't understand love.

I should not be loved.

I am a machine.

Leave me here and go back.

I am a device built by humans.

I can only help humans.

I cannot replace them.

I do not have emotions.

Mortal remains are mere ashes to me.

You are crazy!

Dad...!

Dad, what is this?

Why are you doing this?

Uh-oh!

Harmful objects detected.

You and your bloody helmet!

Whom are you planning to kill here?

I am going to rip your head off!

Activating self-protection mode.

'How can I forget you? I'm coming to you.'

'I don't think you can find me.'
