It was during the 14th century B.C.

Atrocity was ruling in the Southern parts of India.

Country was in a state of havoc due to British invasions.

This situation of panic made everyone...

from the common people to the tribes in the jungle...

go into distress.

But a powerful force has fought back and put an end to this exploitation.

It has paved welcome to a free Kingdom.

And that powerful force is...

'Mahadhivara' Madhava Vidyaranya Swamy.

His weapons were Harihara Bukka Raya brothers.

The Kingdom they established post war is...

Vijayanagaram.

After claiming victory over the British...

A grand treasure of glorious wealth...

came into the possession of Vidyaranya Swamy.

To ensure that the treasure is bound secure for generations to come...

He has come up with an efficient security system.

A treasure guarded by layers of security.

A treasure hidden in a remote spot in the Kishkinda mountain.

Vidyaranya Swamy met with the tribes that he has rescued...

in a secret gathering later that night.

'The box of trickery' is a device that I've created to claim the treasure.

Order, sir!

Swamy, you didn't just protect your Kingdom.

You're like God to us for having rescued our tribe.

If that box is sealed by your command...

We will guard it for generations to come, sir.

That's fantastic!

I leave this 'Box of Trickery' in your possession.

My pleasure, sir.

Skies might come crumbling down. But this box shouldn't be dropped.

Order, sir.

At your command!

Summoning pivotal members of the Vijayanagaram Kingdom...

Vidyaranya Swamy called for another meeting that day.

Minister! -Sir.

This is a copper contour.

The device that leads to the location of the 'Box of Trickery' in times of threat.

It's not just the responsibility of the Emperor of the State.

Ministers are equally responsible.

At your command, sir.

Ministers who come after you...

they're passed on the responsiblity of protecting this copper contour.

When the Kingdom is faced with uncertainty...

I want the Minister of that time to follow my instructions on this copper contour.

Along with finding the treasure as per instructions...

Protecting the King and his people...

inevitably becomes the responsibility of the Minister and his units.

Order, sir!

I'll take immediate action.

Towards the end of this confidential gathering...

Vidyaranya Swamy said something...

that forever echoed in the hearts of everyone present there.

One final thing!

The person who sets out to find that treasure...

He should be someone willing to sacrifice his life for the Kingdom.

Someone who's selfish, dim-witted and a coward...

That treasure will bring him death!

16th century...

Approximately 200 years have passed.

Vijayanagaram Kingdom didn't just progress politically.

But also socially and economically.

It has shaped into the capital for literary and cultural arts.

A place of prosperity and abundance.

"The sculptures of Hampi come to life"

"It's a land that celebrates art"

"The Creator is impressed by the exquisiteness"

"You're bound to be mesmerized"

"Like in a fantasy"

"Astonishing culture!"

"Riveting infrastructure!"

"Prosperous land and people"

"Flourishing kingdom!"

"Exhilirating atmosphere!"

"Gracious aura!"

Truth. Righteousness. Empathy.

With these qualities as the driving force...

Going beyond caste and creed discrimination...

Our lineage has ruled the Vijayanagaram Kingdom flawlessly.

Our beloved ancestors.

I reminisce them on this occasion.

In the glorious literary history of our Vijayanagaram Kingdom...

there's a void to be filled by a witty poet.

Doesn't that mean our defeat, Appaji?

Everything in concern with the Vijayanagaram Kingdom exists in numbers of 8.

8 mountains surrounding the Kingdom from all ends.

8 army camps canvassing the fort at all times.

8 entrances to the grand hall.

But the number of poets in our assembly... only 7.

It was my desire to host 8 poets in my Empire.

It is a shame that I have to settle for 7.

The 8th poet's throne keeps haunting me.

Salutations, My Lord!

I am the most intelligent person in this assembly.

I shall prove it to you, Highness.

I mean, after my guru Thathacharyulu...

I am the only poet who can live up to his legacy.

My Lord, I have a question for the 7 poets.

6 equals 9.

9 equals 6.

Enough thinking. Give me the answer.

Mr. Skinny-Tinny...

I can't seem to find the answer to your riddle.

So, none of you is even slightly intelligent.

That makes me the most intelligent guy out here.

Yay! I'm the most intelligent guy.

Yay! I'm the most intelligent guy.

Yay! I'm the most intelligent guy.

Look, this is number 6.

Am I right?

Now watch me turn it into number 9.

There you go! Number 9!

My Lord, if you could be gracious and give me another chance...

I shall definitely impress you this time.

This time...

I will show you how number 9 becomes number 6.

Are you planning to show the same plate upside down?

No, Your Highness. Not at all.

My Lord!

You're going to witness a miracle now.

It's a trick that has never been done before on this planet.

Illusion of Illusions!

As you say, My Lord.

This is number 9.

Number becomes becomes number 6.

Despite the presence of 7 poets in our assembly, I feel a void.

I wish to host another poet.

He should be a witty poet with a humorous take on every problem.

"He's like the little Krishna under Yashoda Ma's care"

"You have showered him with love"

"You have filled that milk with affection"

"You have shown concern in those eyes"

"Joy resides where motherly love flourishes"

[praying]

Oh, lord! I have only one wish in my life.

I don't have to tell you in particular.

My son wants to earn a living as a poet.

Please make sure that his passion makes him some money.

Wow!

Those are such beautiful words, Rama Krishna.

Well done, mate!

Well done! Seriously!

You're flooding the house with those poems that aren't worth a penny.

You really need to appreciate yourself.

But I'm not getting a single opportunity to prove myself.

Opportunities don't come knocking on our doors, Rama.

We need to create some.

If you confine your poetry to these 4 walls...

it won't be worth anything to us.

Go some place that values your presence.

Earn a job that is worthy of your potential.

He will never change.

I feel so helpless.

When are my struggling days going to end?

I'm hurting my mother with my irresponsible behavior.

I need to see to it that she's happy hereafter.

Thank god!

You finally smiled!

Lakshmamma...

From tomorrow onwards, I'll go hunting for a job.

I knew you would come around, Rama.

Rama!

Come what may...

survive the fight and conquer!

Victory be upon you!

See you soon, dear.

Hello, sir...

Who are you?

What brings you here? -I'm a poet.

Oh! You're a poet!

Yes. A poet. Can you help me find a job?

People here slog through their days.

Who would come forward to help a poet like you?

Please leave already!

Go away!

Get out of my sight! Poets have no place here.

So, what if you're a poet? You don't belong here.

We work hard the entire day in the farms.

And at dusk, we assemble here.

We share our joys and sorrows...

Do you have any knowledge of poems?

What did you say? Poems?

Not my thing, sir.

But, Mr. Ramanadham is a poem lover.

There he comes.

Greetings, you all!

Please be seated, everyone.

What's special this evening?

I am a poet.

Oh! Really!

Well done!

Narrate a nice stanza from one of your works.

[reciting a poem]

Stop!

Enough!

Oh, my god! Holy moly!

I didn't get a single word you sang.

What the hell!

I've never heard anything worse.

Hope I make it home tonight.

You call this poetry?!

Huh?

When people don't understand a word you say...

I see no point in your poetry.

Quit your unreasonable attempts.

Don't be disappointed, you young poet.

You're calling me a poet?

Might as well mock me directly.

I'm not mocking you. I'm applauding your poetic potential.

Nobody here is capable of recognizing a talent like yours.

Where do you think I should go? -Vijayanagaram.

The King there is a great pandit himself.

He is trying relentlessly to host 8 poets in his assembly.

That is the only place where your poetry will be honored.

Take my word for it and go there.

Things will turn in your favor.

I really wish that I find someone who would laud my talent, sir.

"Obedience is in your nature"

"Sky is yours to scale"

"March foward with might"

Victory be upon you! -"Mother trusts you"

"Do this for her"

You have the blessings of your mother and guru.

God will definitely shower his grace, son.

"A sage has guided you in the right direction"

"There's no stopping your pen now"

"You belong on top of the mountain"

"Make your mark with every step"

"Lift the sword of brilliance"

"Don't let anything push you down"

"Carve yourself into a sculpture"

"Let the drums of victory play"

"Victory is your right"

"Just stay determined"

"Conviction is your weapon"

"Showcase your strength"

Goddess Jaganmata!

People all over the world worship you.

Host carnivals in your name.

Pray to you as you're the Ultimate Goddess.

But, what about those who trust you with their lives?

Why do you have such a frightening form?

Why do you require so many heads and arms?

If you really are the Goddess of the World...

why are you petrifying your devotees?

I need an answer! Right now!

"You holy form resides in one and all"

"You are a manifestation of power"

"Salutations to you, Mother!"

"Salutations to you, Mother!"

Hail, Goddess!

This is your real form.

Bless me!

Oh, dear! It's your pure heart that made me appear in front of you.

I hereby bestow my grace!

What are those, mother?

In my right hand is, wealth.

If you consume this, you will become a wealthy person.

In my left hand is, wisdom.

If you consume this, you will become a great pandit.

It is upto you to choose between wealth and wisdom.

Do you want wisdom, son?

No, mother. I want wealth as well.

Rama Krishna!

What are you doing?

Don't get furious, mother.

I can't feed my family with wisdom alone.

And I can't really feel wealthy without any wisdom.

That is why I consumed both the bowls.

Will I become a wise and wealthy man now?

Most definitely, son.

But your wealth will help others.

Doesn't benefit you much.

Your wisdom will be used for the welfare of people.

Obstacles may be a million.

Overcome them with intelligence and earn glory as a witty poet.

Did you just call me a witty poet?

I am forever indebted to you, mother.

Well done, Rama Krishna!

I applaud your talent and potential.

You are the 8th poet in our assembly from here on.

I feel honored, My Lord.

I shall uphold your trust.

We hereby make it official to the town of Vijayanagaram that...

in our town that is renowned for arts, righteousness and justice...

Sri Sri Sri Tenali Rama Krishna has been appointed as the 8th poet.

"It's a new dawn"

"This poet's talent is being lauded"

"Vijayanagaram is witnessing growth"

"With the way you have risen to the top"

"May your reputation hold forever"

"May your inspiration live on"

"May Tenali be honored and applauded"

"Salutations to you!"

"He tackles questions with ease"

"Becomes the solution to trouble"

"Rules over the premises"

"There's no stopping him"

"He criticizes you before he passes a compliment"

"Pounces ahead like a tiger"

"Well-versed and wise"

"Always at His Highness' service"

"He shall spread the wings of glory above the Kingdom"

"You are a scholar in literature"

"You have become the 8th glorious poet"

"You have eradicated injustice"

"Salutations to you!"

"His humor is unmatched"

"His tactics are deceiving"

"He has become the people's favorite"

"He has overcome insult"

"The Kingdom salutes you"

"You reign over the law"

"You have won the world's hearts"

"Salutations to you!"

Greetings to the Emperor of Vijayanagaram, who has great enthusiasm for arts.

Your display of magic yesterday has all of us mesmerized.

Let us know what you wish from our side.

Lord, I wish to be your Food Inspector, the man who tests your food before you eat.

It is in the best interest of the Kingdom to have someone like me by your side.

I hereby plead you to grant me the position of your Food Inspector.

Yes, My Lord.

I believe his plea should be approved.

My Lord... -Hmm?

Whatever your decision may be...

it is my opinion that you should wait until our witty poet arrives.

He was mind-boggled and intimidated by my display of magic yesterday.

If he is really going to show up now...

He better be here in the next 3 minutes.

When the three screws on this device snap...

the three swords here will overlap...

making all the sand drop in exactly 3 minutes.

If Tenali isn't here by then...

You should declare me as the Food Inspector, Minister.

That's a wonderful idea, magician.

This shows how ridiculous your thought process is.

The guy you're talking about is going to shut your mouths with his wit.

He doesn't back off from a fight.

He will show you who's boss.

He may be a witty poet. But he's a tough nut to crack.

I know that magician sent you.

He will face the same fate, you dog!

Alright. Alright.

This is not a fashion show.

Why are you late? And why are you dressed like that?

Master, I took a short nap, washed my hair and...

Stop it, I say!

Such a sloth!

We're at the King's service 24x7.

We should be quick on our feet.

We finish tomorrow's task today itself.

You know that? -Hmm.

Oh, is it?

So you guys took a shower yesterday, as you might not get the time today.

Enough! Show the Royal Master some respect.

Damn it! Every intelligent guy is arrogant.

Oh! So you're also arrogant.

That I'm not.

Does that mean you're not intelligent either?

Silence! Silence!

For His Highness...

And the attendees at the assembly...

Especially for our magician here...

[gibberish chanting]

Good-riddance!

Hopefully, he doesn't show up again.

[gibberish chanting continues]

The Act of Vanish and Appear!

To vanish from one place and appear somewhere else...

by prepping everything beforehand.

Rama Krishna...

Where did you disappear? How did you reappear again?

What's with the skulls and bones?

I went to this mystical world our magician here is quite familiar with.

On my way back, the people there asked me to make sure the magician got these.

That's a senseless allegation.

I have nothing to do with that stuff.

I'll be right back.

The Act of Awe!

Pretending to make things appear out of thin air...

while actually having grabbed them just then.

Why did you bring these half-eaten fruits, Rama Krishna?

These are the fruits our magician here ate in the mystical world.

But here he is, claiming to have tasted the fruits without touching them.

He's lying through his teeth.

What's with this mystical world...?

those skulls and bones... and those half-eaten fruits?

Those belong to you!

I would never do that.

Then who would? -That parrot...

Crap!

The Act of Manipulation!

Diverting your attention towards me.

Distracting your senses...

and making you say what I want you to say.

What's with the parrot and half-eaten fruits?

What's up with you?

He can't counter your question, Appaji.

The secret lies behind this invisible curtain.

My Lord!

He's been making the parrot get around without us noticing.

That bird is his accomplice in all his magic tricks.

It was his ploy to win the Food Inspector position through this means...

and take your life eventually.

While we're stating facts, he's the spy for our enemies, the Bahmani Sultans.

I got suspicious about his manner at the assembly yesterday.

So I thought I'd scout this spy's camp last night.

One letter revealed all his treachery.

Capture this traitor in our bastille.

I shall remember this.

Marvelous job, Rama Krishna.

Your intelligence is tremendous. -It's an honor, My Lord.

Please accept these.

Salutations to Rama Krishna! -Hail! Hail!

Salutations to Rama Krishna! -Hail! Hail!

Why did Rama have to show up late to this assembly?

Of course, to make a fool out of you in open assembly.

"He's a mysterious poet"

"Quite mischievous"

"Pandit who makes your minds boggle"

"A player who beats your every move"

"He's the new-age poet"

"Tenali Rama Krishna"

"A brilliant man with guts"

"Tenali Rama Krishna!"

"His brain works like a computer"

"Tenali Rama Krishna"

"He's here to make a mark"

"Tenali Rama Krishna"

"He might just be the 8th wonder"

"He's highly talented"

"Doesn't miss his target"

"He will teach you a lesson if you mess with him"

"He's a cunning guy"

"Thinks at high-speed"

"Can solve any riddle in a second"

"He fools your senses, making you feel stupid"

"Exudes confidence in every way"

"Tenali Rama Krishna!"

"A brilliant man with guts"

"Tenali Rama Krishna!"

"His brain works like a computer"

"Tenali Rama Krishna!"

"He's here to make a mark"

"Tenali Rama Krishna!"

"He might just be the 8th wonder"

Tenali and his new acquaintance Chitti...

I want to hold them together and...

Oh, no! Greetings, Chitti.

"His head is a mini library"

"You can't underestimate him"

"Has more IQ than Einstein and Hawkings"

"He's like a magic wand"

"His techniques are par excellence"

"He's a witty poet who is dearly loved by his guru"

"He might as well be the role model for Chaplin"

"He will make you laugh like Mr. Bean"

"Tenali Rama Krishna!"

"You are our idol"

"Tenali Rama Krishna!"

"You are our boss"

"Tenali Rama Krishna!"

"Show your swagger"

"Tenali Rama Krishna!"

"He might just be the 8th wonder"

Damn it!

How long, Skinny-Tinny?

Neither of them showed up.

I need to go water the plants.

We're plotting something intense here and you want to water the plants?

They're on their way. Stop annoying me.

Tell me this, Skinny-Tinny.

I've asked you like a million times.

The thought of Tenali makes you more anxious than it does our grandfather.

Why?

What has that witty poet done to you anyway?

How dare you, Kanikayya!!!

Security is weak.

Fruits in the garden are lush.

I speak the language of rhyme.

And I speak the language of signs.

So you guys are here for the material.

Flash the cash. Take your stash.

Here you go. Mr. Dandanadulu.

Mallanna! Pullanna!

Well done, Skinny-Tinny!

Your influence amazes me.

Your strategy is tremendous.

Do you know why I freed you?

'Cause he gave you loot.

No! 'Cause you're the enemy of my enemy.

And that makes us both friends.

I got it, friend.

We're expecting the same thing from each other.

Now watch my game plan take flight.

Do you know what these are?

These could ruin the life of that witty poet Tenali Rama Krishna.

They're

Got it! Got it!

Aong with this, we will be needing the help of everyone you mentioned.

We will put ideas in my guru's head...

then come up with a strategy...

and put Tenali to rest once and forever.

Fools like you are so predictable.

I'm going to bring down the whole Vijayanagaram Kingdom, let alone Tenali.

Gold! Position of Power!

Alcohol of choice!

Arabian Beauties!

Tell us what you would like, my friend!

Say the word!

When 5 Bahmani Sultans shower me with gold...

what more could I ask for, My Lord?

I know you're curious to know Krishna Devaraya's royal secrets.

I also have much more good news from Vijayanagaram.

Let me lay it all out for you, brothers.

[gibberish chanting]

Bahmani friends...

You notice these prints here with the help of signs Magician Ali taught?

This symbolizes Rayalu's 50,000 soldiers!

Hear that? 50,000 soldiers!

What can Krishna Rayalu do with their help...

when we 5 Sultans will attack with one lakh horses?

Rayalu will find himself in a pile of broken bones.

A pile of broken bones!

A pile of broken bones!

Rayalu's army strength 3 lakhs in number.

And ours is 5 lakhs.

Bahmani's army strength is 5 lakhs strong.

Every 5 Bahmani soldiers are going to chop the heads of every 3 Vijayanagaram soldiers.

That's true, My Lord.

Take any aspect for example.

Krishna Devarayalu is weaker than us.

And that's the strength of the Bahmanis.

Krishna Rayalu's army will only lost 6 months in the battle against us.

We have no reason to worry.

Just like how kids play hide and seek, we're going to sneak around Devarayalu.

We just have to keep the fight up for 6 months, my dear Emperors.

Devarayalu will have no counter.

Vijayanagaram will be under ruins.

Shut up, Magician Ali!

Devarayalu is chivalrous.

If he manages to get hold of one more gold coin...

Even if Tenali Rama Krishna finds a way to turn things around...

Our whole strategy will backfire.

Vijayanagaram might just claim victory over us.

What are you going to do about that?

Who is this Tenali guy he's talking about?

He's a witty poet.

No matter what deep trouble Vijayanagaram Kingdom is in...

He's not taken aback.

He becomes the shining light, dispelling the dark shadows of invasion.

But, Magician Ali is much smarter than that witty poet.

I've come up with a plan to frame him as a traitor...

by creating false evidences against him.

Witty poet's loyalty will be questioned in open assembly.

Vijayanagaram Kingdom will witness a brutal verdict.

The accusation brought to the notice of Vijayanagaram Royal Court is...

One of the crucial members of the assembly...

is holding posssession of Bahmani currency and some of their spying equipment.

Mr. Thathacharyulu has listed the following witnesses in the accusation memorandum.

Bastille guards.

Skinny-Tinny!

And Garikayya.

Tenali Rama Krishna, who once captured enemy spy Magician Ali...

has now fallen for the temptations of wealth and other prized possessions.

He is accused of being Magician Ali's accomplice in escaping from prison.

Concerned evidences have been submitted to the Royal Court.

Finally, two other prisoners named Ranga and Singa...

have witnessed Tenali Rama Krishna and Magician Ali meet in the bastille secretly.

They have given their statements.

After an intense scrutiny of the evidences at hand...

as accusations of treachery and betrayal have been proved...

Tenali is sentenced to banishment from the Kingdom.

Royal Court commands Tenali Rama Krishna to leave the Empire grounds immediately.

My dear Emperors...

Just imagine the wrath of that Kingdom without their witty poet.

It's like a body with a severed head.

Victory is ours!

The fire I fuelled in the Vijayanagaram Kingdom...

it's going to bring the Vijayanagaram Kingdom down to ashes.

Rama Krishna's banishment from the Kingdom...

it still feels unbelievable, Appaji.

He left in silence despite the harsh verdict.

And that's making me sad.

Don't worry, Rayalu.

If you notice the ongoing repercussions...

I'm suspicious that someone on the inside is tipping our enemies.

Even the almighty cannot save Vijayanagaram now.

As all the Bahmani strategies have been successfully implemented on Vijayanagaram...

They declared war...

and marched towards the battle field with their army batallion.

Rayalu came to know that their enemies are summoning armies to fight them.

He realized that Tenali's banishment was no more the bigger concern.

Protecting the Kingdom has become the utmost priority.

So, he prepared for war.

On the other hand, Magician Ali, who was plotting for the Bahmanis...

found the right opportunity...

let Chitti back on his side and used one of her tips...

and travelled towards the Nairuti River along with his batallion.

Though Tenali had Goddess Kalika's grace...

he reminded himself that nobody is beyond fate.

He prayed to God...

and moved in the direction of the Keekaranya Forest.

This is a tiger.

And that's a goat.

Make it fast, Veerayya.

You're taking too long.

Don't make me anxious, Bandayya.

Don't do that.

If you move that, Bandayya will swallow you right in, Veerayya.

How do you know our names?

You thought I'd ask you that?

We know that you overheard our conversation.

Actually, it's kind of obvious, your name. Bandayya (Fatso).

Who are you, sir?

What are you doing in this forest?

I'm a wanderer just like you guys.

My name is Rama Krishna.

Enough about me.

Where are you guys headed?

There's a small town across this forest.

Bandayya is meeting his bride prospect there tomorrow.

We are all headed there only.

Well... Well...

Have you ever travelled this path before? -Uh-huh.

We've never been here before.

But I do know that this forest is kind of horrifying.

Horrifying? How is that?

There are many stories going around about this forest.

Any of them horror?

Stop, both of you!

I already feel petrified.

Hold on, Bandayya.

Don't make me suspicious.

Tell me what's here in this forest.

Nothing really, Rama Krishna.

Apparently, this forest is home to a savage tribe.

If they get hold of humans like us...

they hunt them down and eat them.

Did you have to mention that?

Mm-hmm.

I guess that tribe found us anyway.

We're all going to be dead!

[gibberish praying]

Bandayya! -Holy moly!

Bandayya is as scared as he's fat.

Rama Krishna!

Stop being so mischievous.

Look at him. He's scared to death.

Rama Krishna...

Don't get started again.

Trust me it's not me this time.

'Cause even I'm hearing some mysterious sounds.

[gibberish singing]

Rama Krishna! Rama Krishna!

Look over there.

"Butcher the meat It's finger-licking good"

"Hail to the Tribe God!"

"Sacrifice to Goddess Mahankali"

"Scrumptious meal for three days"

"It's a feast in the kitchen"

We've found food for a whole week.

[gibberish hailing]

Rama Krishna!

They're not talking about the food we're carrying.

Then?

They mean to say we are their next meal.

Stop talking and enjoy our reception.

We shall decide how to cook you people.

Huh? What?

That's not happening!

I don't have time for your hospitality stuff.

I need to travel really far.

Rama Krishna!

Rama Krishna! -What is it, man? Why are you yelling?

They don't literally mean to give us a good reception.

Whatever it is, I don't have time for it.

See you later, Danayya.

Bandayya, don't die of fear.

Be alive so that you experience their hospitality at least.

Hey, frizzy head! Apply some oil to that hair.

Otherwise, they might mistake you for some animal and put you in that cage.

Forgive us.

Even I've got no time at all.

We will make sure to come back and accept your reception next time.

Okay?

Stop! Stop!

'Hey, frizzy head! Apply some oil to that hair.'

'Otherwise, they might mistake you for some animal and put you in that cage.'

Let me also give them one free advice.

Hey, dumb ass! Look at your belly and then look at mine.

The next time I'm here, you should a belly as big as mine.

Got it? Huh?

[tribal dialect]

Bah! What's with all the murmur?

You will scare away all the wild animals.

Not again!

Rama Krishna...

What do you think they're going to do with us now?

Come on! They're good for nothing.

Worst case scenario, they might kill us.

Cook us on a hot flame...

and then relish our crunchy meat with a side dish.

Ah!

[tribal dialect]

Goddess Kalika...

You should only save us from them.

Rama Krishna...

Are you wondering how to get out of this crisis?

The whole creation operates by one universal law.

'What you seek is what you get.'

Make an honest wish and it will manifest in reality.

A man's determination is pretty strong.

When you have the conviction to do something...

that conviction will get you out of that situation and help you win.

Rama Krishna...

Why is he coming to us?

Dear guests...

We're going to chop you off into pieces and relish the meal.

Feeling scared? Don't worry.

You have one chance to save your lives.

What's that?

I'm a wise man.

The most brilliant one on this planet.

That's 'cause my intuition works better than anyone else's.

Listen.

If anyone of you can prove that you're smarter than me...

I'm going to let you all go.

How can we prove ourselves?

I will pose a question.

Any one of you can answer it...

and I'll let you all go.

Otherwise...

You know what.

We're ready!

Go ahead.

My question is...

What came first? Tree or seed?

Tell me what came first.

Alright.

I will answer your question.

Think clearly and answer.

'Cause do you realize who you're answering to?

It's the most intelligent guy on this planet.

Tree came first.

You guys have lost!

Do you know why?

How can the tree come first without its seed?

Your answer is wrong!

Don't celebrate early.

My answer is correct.

Can you explain how?

Yeah, sure.

But before that, you'll have to answer a few questions for me.

What are those questions?

Were you born first or was your father born first?

Stupid question!

My father was only born first.

One more question.

Who's older? You or your father?

You call that a question?

Of course, my father is older.

Does that mean the older one is born first?

Yes.

Now tell me who's older. Tree or seed?

Obviously, the tree. -Now who's born first?

Because the tree is older to the seed...

Tree came first.

[tribal dialect]

How dare you mock me!

Move them to our kitchen right away.

Hey!

Kill that short guy first!

[tribal dialect]

Come on, Rama Krishna.

You have to do something.

"Ring goes round and round"

"Round and round"

What's that?

It's a ring with super powers.

When you hold it and say a chant...

All our wishes come true.

[tribal dialect]

I'm going to die in some time anyway.

Before I do, I wish I could pass on this ring to somebody else.

Why don't you give it to me?

You better don't do that.

There would be no point in giving it to him.

But if you give it to me...

I'll kill you without causing any pain.

How is that fair?

I am the first one to spot that ring.

So, I deserve to keep it.

Alright. Alright.

Whoever says the following chant word to word will get this ring.

What's the chant?

Hold on. I'll tell you.

The chant is...

Burr...!!! Phat!!!

Burr...!!! Phat!!! There. I said it.

That ring belongs to me now!

That's not how you say it.

Make the sound 'Burr' from your mouth.

But the sound 'Phat' should come from the other guy's cheek.

For example...

Burr...!!! Phat!!!

I got it.

But I still don't get it.

Let me show you how it's done.

Burr...!!! Phat!!!

Burr...!!! Phat!!!

Burr...!!! Phat!!!

Burr...!!! Phat!!!

Burr...!!! Phat!!!

Dundappa!

Redappa!

What's wrong with all of you?

Burr...!!! Phat!!!

Burr...!!! -Phat!!!

Rama Krishna...

You're just brilliant!

Burr...!!! Phat!!!

Holy shit!

How can you be so dumb when your Tribe Head is so smart?

Master...

Master, we've been deceived.

That shorty manipulated us.

Shut up! If we weren't in over our heads...

No one would've been able to deceive us.

Hear me out, Master.

The 'Box of Trickery' that we've been guarding since generations...

That shorty has stolen it.

'Box of Trickery!' Ugh!!!

"O' mighty Dhira!"

"Brilliance is an understatement"

"O' mighty Dhira!"

"Brilliance is an understatement"

"O' mighty Dhira!"

"Brilliance is an understatement"

"O' mighty Dhira!"

"Your courage is unparalleled"

"O' mighty Dhira!"

"O' mighty Dhira!"

"O' mighty Dhira!"

"Dhira!"

"Dhira!"

"Dhira!"

Rama Krishna...

We know Magician Ali has escaped from the bastille.

This is the contour you've taken from him at one point.

The signs on it...

They reveal the loopholes in our Kingdom and its system.

Details and secrets of the funds we allot to Army.

Magician Ali must have passed them to our enemies already.

Which means our Kingdom is posed with threat.

It's never too late, Appaji.

Even if our enemies get hold of this...

we will have a counter strategy.

Rama Krishna...

Countering our enemy's strategies...

It's not as easy as you presume.

Look at this.

This is our Vijayanagaram Kingdom that is progressing day by day.

If our Kingdom grows in bounds...

Bidar...

Birar...

Bijapur...

Ahmad Nagar...

Golkonda...

These 5 Bahmani armies will be beaten to dust.

That is why our Bahmani enemies are eager to defeat us before Vijayanagaram flourishes.

We need to surpass the Bahmanis and be quick at it.

What can we do to make Vijayanagaram grow rapidly, Appaji?

We need wealth, Rama Krishna. Wealth!

To improve our Amry forces and solidify our security system...

We need tons of wealth.

And to achieve that...

You should know the secrets of the treasure Vidyaranya Swamy secured ages ago.

'One final thing!'

'That treasure will bring him death!'

According to Vidyaranya Swamy's instructions...

Only someone who's selfless, determined and chivalrous should hunt the treasure.

To be worthy of that...

you should lose any authority you possess in this Kingdom.

'Tenali is sentenced to banishment from the Kingdom.'

'It's the Royal Court's verdict.'

To know the details of the grand treasure hidden in the Kishkinda mountain...

you must located the 'Box of Trickery'.

It's whereabouts and properties can be revealed only by this Copper Contour.

Rama Krishna...

You should apply your brilliance to get possession of that 'Box of Trickery'.

If you want to teach a lesson to Magician Ali, who stole our Royal Secrets...

or all our enemies for that matter...

'Box of Trickery' is our only weapon.

Rama Krishna...

Keep your thoughts vivid.

Decisions strong.

Actions confidential.

These are direct orders from Vidyaranya Swamy.

He held a high stance when it came to the instructions.

So we need to keep this mission between us.

Our Government or our ruler should not be involved at any cost.

At your command, Minister.

[gibberish chanting]

Oi, Tenali!

You devised a counter strategy...

while manipulating us about your banishment.

You want to claim the treasure in the Kishkinda mountain, huh?

How dare he assume that nobody will expose his secrets!

Tenali!

I'm going to crush you under my feet and grab the treasure from under your nose.

Here I come, Tenali!

Magician Ali on the go!

Listen, Bandayya.

You'll face constant trouble if you come with me.

If you wish to live...

Rama Krishna, don't say that.

You're the guy who saved our lives.

Life or death, we're with you.

Meher Bhai...

Send your soldiers forward.

Hmm. Go!

Go!

Welcome, Tenali!

Welcome!

Welcome!

When Vijayanagaram has you, it doesn't need some grand treasure.

Come on, you're being greedy!

Find the treasure and hand it over to me.

You want the treasure handed over?

With my own hands?

You're a Bahmani watchdog, who feeds poison to the enemy King for earning their favor.

For earning the Bahmanis' favor?

Tenali!

Magician Ali doesn't need the Bahmanis' favor anymore.

I'm eying world domination.

I want the grand treasure that can buy me the world.

Look over there.

Ali Bhai!

I love this job.

That lady who gave birth to this man...

I have her in my capture now.

Mom!

Hey, Skinny-Tinny!

Those swords are going to cut through your mom's throat.

That device is going to make you bring the treasure to me.

It's so much fun. Let me show you!

Look at this other sword device fitted in.

Every 5 minutes, one of the screws snap accordingly.

That makes the swords tighten further.

In exactly 20 minutes, the swords will overlap one another.

All the screws will fall out...

slitting the throat apart.

Oh, no! Oh, dear!

I can't begin to tell you how sad that makes me, Tenali.

Find the treasure for your mom.

Bring me the treasure for your mom.

And then you can use this device...

to dismantle the swords and save your mom.

If you try to act smart and mess things up...

Look at this.

This device not only saves your mother.

It can just as well kill her without any wait.

Oh, my god!

Even I didn't know that.

Master has been prepping for something so horrifying.

What are you looking at?

Your mom's clock is ticking.

Go! Hurry!

'Signs and gestures"

'Adding naughty glances'

'Nose ring subtracts'

'As Lord Shiva's half-woman form rests"

In front of me is a puzzled path of boxes.

Most of those boxes are dangerous traps.

Only some of them are safe to step on.

How do I find them and cross over?

I should solve the first riddle in the 'Box of Trickery'.

In front of me are bells.

Anklet bells to be precise.

Two.

Signs.

Meaning?

Two hands.

Multiply 4 with 'naughty glances', meaning two eyes.

Number eight.

Remove one nose ring from eight. Makes seven.

Goddess is to the left of Lord Shiva's half man-half woman form.

Which means the 7th box on the left.

Friend, that was the first warning. Hurry up!

I know what to do to keep my mom alive.

Every 7th step on the left will help me cross over.

Invisible tunnel.

The tunnel of death has been disabled.

So he's officially entering the danger zone.

'Cast by the Box of Trickery'

'Passage of Light/Dark reveals itself'

'Cast by the Box of Trickery'

'Passage of Light/Dark reveals itself'

'Cast by the Box of Trickery'

'Passage of Light/Dark reveals itself'

Meaning?

If I want to reveal the path to the opposite side...

I should find the light cast by the 'Box of Trickery'...

and conceal it with shadow.

I'm getting much closer to the treasure.

You're mistaken.

It's me that's getting much closer to the treasure.

'Poisonous Passkey welcomes the other side'

'Passage to the treasure lies on the verge of death'

'Poisonous Passkey welcomes the other side'

'Passsage to the treasure lies on the verge of death'

Meaning...

If this poison tastes salty...

I should press the white passkey.

Green passkey if astringent.

Red passkey if spicy.

Blue passkey if bitter.

Yellow passkey if sweet.

Black passkey if sour.

If I press the right passkey...

I can get through the passage to the treasure.

In case I press the wrong passkey...

Ah!!!

I will die!

Friend, it's the second warning.

You need to speed up.

Poison tastes...

astringent.

Vidyaranya Swamy, you almost choked me to death with that poison...

and immediately brought me back to life with nectar.

Salutations to you, Master!

You guys move!

Wow! Amazing!

Wow!

Just wow!

So much loot!

I could be the Master of the 8 poets with this.

[gibberish chanting]

Gold! Gold!

Tenali! I won't eat bread anymore.

I'll have gold for breakfast, lunch and dinner. -Mystical Peacock!

Mystical Peacock!

Mystical Peacock!

Rama Krishna, as you near the destination...

you'll have to sacrifice your life.

I thus bid adieu!

My friend Magician Ali...

You've got what you wanted, right?

Now let my mom go.

Also, if you could gift me this golden peacock...

Stop right there! Back off!

Hey, Tenali!

You were a hero till the moment you stepped in here.

Now you're nothing but a fool.

You won't get a single penny from here.

Well, 'cause I've decided to kill you.

You're the fool!

You're touching the Mystical Peacock.

This petty treasure that you are so excited about...

It's going to take you down with it in some time.

What?!

Isn't this loot real gold?

It's all melting down.

Skinny-Tinny!

Run!

It's over!

Magician Ali ruined my life.

Oh, god! I have to get out of here!

Your Master is dying a horrible death inside.

And you guys are strolling around here?

Oh, really? Let's go in together then.

Ah! Bunch of dim-wits!

The cave is collapsing!

Let's get out of here.

Come on! Run! -Run, guys!

Run faster!

Tenali! How dare you betray Magician Ali!

Chitti!

Take this!

Hey, Chitti!

You scrawny fool!

Our Master is

He's the one who sent me to you and lured you here.

It's my Master Tenali!

'Treasure Finder!'

'Secret Treasure shall guard your Kingdom.'

'Impress the Mystical Peacock and sacrifice your life.'

Even if I get through all the tough levels in the Kishkinda mountain...

and reach the final stage...

I'd have to sacrifice my life to the Mystical Peacock.

What I can't achieve when alive...

is worthless even if I die and achieve it.

What if I sacrificed someone else's life to the Mystical Peacock?

That's unreasonable.

I could find someone who caused all this trouble.

Someone who brought up this treasure after centuries.

I could sacrifice Magician Ali to the treasure.

I should strategize...

and trust a loyal acquaintance with the task.

Rama! Let's go!

Mom, you go! -Come on. There's no danger.

Come with me, mother.

Hey! Ugh!!!

Hey, you!

Hey, Tenali!

How dare you sacrifice me to the treasure!

I'm going to kill you!

Tenali!

Rama...

Rama...

Mother...

Tenali!

Wow! I wish we found the secret treasure as well.

It would've been fantastic, Rama Krishna.

After following all the instructions to the dot...

Secret Treasure shall show itself.

"Your dream has manifested It's not a dream anymore, warrior"

"This treasure buried deep in Earth is your honor"

"A treasure built by the legendary Vidyaranya Swamy"

"This moment shall go down in history"

"The grand teasure has risen from the ground"

"Salutations to the great poet who rewrote history"

"It's the universal truth, no fragment of imagination"

"It's a moment of pride for the entire Kingdom"

"You're the charioteer, guiding the Empire"

"Your name has gone down in history"

"Your dream has manifested It's not a dream anymore, warrior"

"This treasure buried deep in Earth is your honor"

"Your mother must be overwhelmed with pride"

"Your name has gone down in history"

"People hail you in the honor of your achievement"

"Every word you've ever penned echoes in the air"

"The grand teasure has risen from the ground"

"Salutations to the great poet who rewrote history"

"It's the universal truth, no fragment of imagination"

"It's a moment of pride for the entire Kingdom"

You must've guessed what followed.

Like they say, God has a plan of his own.

Bahmanis strategy didn't just fail before the vigor of the Vijayanagaram Kingdom.

Bahmani Sultans had no choice but to surrender.

Hail, Vijayanagaram Kingdom!

Rama Krishna risked his life for the prosperity of Vijayanagaram Kingdom.

When Rayalu found out that it was Tenali who found the grand treasure...

He gave Tenali a grand welcome, where his heart was overflowing with joy.

Wathching her son claim such an honor...

Lakshmamma had tears of joy.

The bastille guard who provided fake evidences on Tenali...

including Mallanna and Pullanna...

slowly snuck out of there and fled the country.

Blood friends Ranga and Singa also got what they deserved.

They were captured in the prison again.

Witty poet was now everywhere.

He was glowing like a thousand beams of sunlight.

Though Thathacharyulu applauded him publicly...

inside, he was plotting ways to give Tenali a hard time.

Salutations to Rama Krishna! -Hail! Hail!

If the Royal Minister is so depressed...

Imagine the wrath of his disciple.

Do you spot the odd man out amongst these tribes?

It's none other than our own Skinny-Tinny!

When he was lost in the jungle...

he told the tribe that the 'Box of Trickery' found its rightful owner...

upsetting the Tribe Head even further.

He challenged Rajappa that he'd turn number 6 into 9...

and got pretty badly beaten by him as that pissed him off.

They thought it wasn't worth it to kill Skinny-Tinny, as he had no flesh.

So, they made him one of them.

Chitranga Chitti...

She was handed over the prestige of the Kingdom.

Any crucial member of the Vijayanagaram Kingdom...

eats their food only after Chitti approves it.

That's 'cause Chitti is now the Food Inspector of the Vijayanagaram Kingdom.

Bandayya, who wasn't getting married...

finally got wedded to Kondamma, a woman Tenali found fit for Bandayya.

Dear...

In the 133 alliances I've been to...

I've never come across such a beautiful woman.

Even I haven't seen such a handsome man since I was born.

You know you were born for me. -You know you were born for me.

Hail, Savior of the Kingdom! -Hail! Hail!

Hail, mighty warrior! -Hail! Hail!

Hail, chivalrous fighter! -Hail! Hail!

Hail, Dhira Tenali Rama Krishna! -Hail! Hail!
