The most exciting performance in the city given by Miss Sailaja

Oh, great

See, how great is the response coming over to my place and how great are the reviews and applauds in all the papers

If your mom had come and seen, she’d have said, “My dear Kishore, you’re great my boy”

He’d have said not to have any objection to give you in marriage to me

Then I’d have said, yes and ok madam

I don’t need this yes or Ok, I’m sorry - Oh no, what’s this so suddenly?

What’s this, am I a scar to the dance? Mine are just silly jumps and a headache for Nataraja?

I don’t want to stay here anymore.

Sailu, please - Get my ticket for me

Hear me - No

I’ll tear apart the guy who wrote like this. I’ll kill him, if he doesn’t beg your feet

Who wrote this? - Some Balu it seems

No Mom, we both are coming home for lunch - Come in

Come

What’s this? What’re this writings?

Ok - Were you conscious while writing?

Oh, is this the man? - Yes

Idiot, you write at your will as you have a pen and paper?

Who do you think is Mr. Kishore Babu? He’s the son of our Auditor Sir

You write so crazily not knowing who is it? Don’t you have sense?

What qualification do you have to write about classical dance, you idiot?

Are you any Bharata Muni?

Silently fall on Sailaja madam’s feet ask her to forgive you

Otherwise I’ll break your legs, be careful

Where? - Bathroom

What? - Bathroom

Why do you sit here, idiot? Go and apologize to her

How did you dance for this stanza yesterday?

You!

Balu!

Come on, dance

What dear, you don’t know?

“Five elements being the ornaments on face”

“The six seasons being the character”

“Five elements being the ornaments on face”

“The six seasons being the character”

Is this a classical dance? - Why, is it not?

Which tradition? - Idiot!

Do you even know how many traditions are there?

This is called as Bharata Natyam

“Five elements being the ornaments on face”

“The six seasons being the character”

“Five elements being the ornaments on face”

“The six seasons being the character”

This is Bharata Natyam

“Five elements being the ornaments on face”

“The six seasons being the character”

“Five elements being the ornaments on face”

“The six seasons being the character”

This is Kathak

“Five elements being the ornaments on face”

“The six seasons being the character”

“Five elements being the ornaments on face”

“The six seasons being the character”

Kathakali - Yes

How you think is how you see

How you see is how your mind is

How your mind is, the same is your feeling

How you feel is how your art is

Sight, mind and thought should be concentrated on your art

Only then you get perfection in that art

Your sight was on the audience and mind was on their claps

Concentration is on the titles to receive

Natya Mayuri!

What did you say?

Bastard! - No!

Salute Sir

“Your looks being the eight directions”

“Your words being the nine emotions”

“Lord blessing those in penance”

Damn! None can better you, idiot.

Feeling that you’d get better having some work, got you this job begging people

You know the result of your idiotic deed?

No need, you need nothing

Cough, come on cough idiot! You cough so continuously and can be gone some day

This bad time will be over

What exactly is our relation? Are you my brother? Who are you?

We met somehow and thought live together

I can’t face the blows now because of you. Even my patience is dead

We have no relation from now onwards. Yes!

“If ending in death or burnt in the pier”

“Sweet relation will never end”

“The tune of affection won’t go away from the heart”

Only one person can write such a great poetry in this world

You, it’s you dude

Ok, come let’s go home

What did you just say?

There isn’t any relation between us?

We cut just for once.

Hey, when you light my pier after I die, it’s then. - Balu

Only then! Whatever I do till then - Hey

You’ve to bear it. - Balu

Hey, I’m feeling hungry. Take me home.

I learnt Bharatha Natyam, Kuchipudi and Kathakali. Now…

No Telugu?

Bharaha Natyam

Kuchipudi

And learnt even Kathakali

Now

Want to learn Kathak

I don’t have

Name, Balu

Hey, what’s that silent language?

She understood and didn’t you understand?

I said wish to learn Kathak also. I said no money and will repay by serving the master

She said Ok

Ok, move now

Ok! There are also Manipuri, Bhojpri, Odissy, Assam etc., Learn even those

Life will be over with that

Come home fast

Balakrishna! Balakrishna!

No idea what this evil script is, I don’t understand. Baby Sumathi! - Yes

Read this to me

Please don’t ask for rent. If you ask, I’ll have to commit suicide

What, staying in my house and not paying me the rent, do they say me to commit suicide?

When they are asking me to commit suicide, does that feel a joke to you?

No dad, they’re saying to commit suicide if asked for rent

Oh, why don’t you read like that? They are threatening even like this now

Look, inform me if those step in here and I’ll teach them a lesson

Hello - Yes

Are you waiting for me? - Yes, to see if you commit suicide

What to do? No jobs

If we think of vacating the house, we aren’t getting a better house than this

Even if we get, those owners may not have kind heart like you

Baby Sumathi - What daddy?

Did those idiots come? - Not yet

Ok, inform me once they come - Ok

They commit suicide it seems, suicide

Who are idiots? - Who else, you both. Where is he?

He joined Kathak - His mom came

She waited till now for him and just left to the station

Whatever you stare and see, you can just see the tracks and poles, but he won’t come.

No idea whether he knew that I came or not

What if he knows? He should have free time, right?

He might be dancing beside some canal or in an old temple

It’s natural

No, he won’t come

You get in. Train is moving, you get in

Hey, you should work and earn make her feel comfortable.

Why do you still give her the trouble? Rascal!

Balu! Son is here - Mom

Don’t get down

You can’t run and get in. I can neither get you in

How’s your life? - Fine

Who bought these? - Me

Why’s this so? - It’s good

Don’t get down

No problem uncle, there is still time

You wrote not to be feeling well, how are you now mom?

I’m fine son. Uncle arranged for medicines. How are you son?

Are you eating in time?

You should take good care of him, son

None needs to take care. It goes as written

There, siren is on. Get in - Get in mom

Take good care of mom - Ok, write letters

Balu, take this 25 rupees - Why mom?

No problem, buy something son - No mom

Ok, come and sit - You sit mom

You stop, man

Hey, aren’t you ashamed to take her hard earned money?

Mom, keep this money - Son, buy something

No problem, I’ll send money in few days

Buy a good sari - Son

Uncle! Keep writing letters - Balu

Take good care of mom - Ok

Mom, don’t forget - Ok

Move, say what’s that job and I’ll do it

Sir, Mr. Balakrishna came to see you - Ask him to come

Please come - Come on, dude

Hello Sir, this is Balu I said about

He’s the dance director for 70% of the films now, Mr. Chittaranjan

Hello Sir

My friend knows Kuchipudi, Bharatha Natyam, Kathak…

Geetha - Sir

Call the director and enquire which song is first

What did you say?

My friend knows Bharatha Natyam, Kuchipudi… - Michael

Come on, come on

Is the stuff good? - Yes Sir, good material

I’m here for four days, get two more bottles. Go

What did you say?

My friend knows Bharatha Natyam, Kuchipudi…

What did they say Geetha?

It seems they’d first shoot the duet song

Ok! Listen to that once and compose it roughly. I’ll see later

What did you say?

My friend knows Bharatha Natyam, Kuchipudi…

My friend knows Kuchipudi, Bharatha Natyam, Kathakali Sir

He’s even learning Kathak

Working under you, it’ll help him financially and he also will gain experience

Geetha, this boy - Balakrishna, Sir

It seems he is a dancer, let’s see

Play the song once and listen. Learn how to compose

Learn

Michael! Michael!

See you, dude. Take good care of my friend

Shall we listen?

See you Sir - Ok

“Muvva Gopala of thousands of Gopikas is our cute Krishna”

Hello - Please come, director Sir

Material isn’t good - All locations are fixed

It’s now in your hands. Those steps and movements

Don’t worry director Sir, song will be a blast

I sat on that for the whole night. I didn’t touch even food

Then, we shall see it once. We shall divide the shots

Oh! Why later, let’s see right away

Ok, you remember what I composed?

We remember Sir

I’ll say if something goes wrong

“Muvva Gopala of thousands of Gopikas is our cute Krishna”

“Muvva Gopala is our cute Krishna”

“He played flute to make the eyes of beauties glow”

“He looted the butter from the heart”

Huh, bad! Damn

Balu! Balu, what are these jumps?

What’s this? What are you doing?

As it is a good song and literature…

So, will we make any artistic movie? You ruin such a great song?

No Sir, he’s doing his own talent and doing as he likes

Even our director Sir is worried about the same

When there are top hero and heroines in our film, without great steps, what’s this?

I already said it. What I composed is different and what they’re doing is different

If we have those learning classical dance, it goes like this

They’d ruin our prestige completely

Ours is a prestigious film and there isn’t even one club dance

At least this one song…

No, don’t be tensed. I composed keeping that in mind.

How did I compose?

You remember or shall I do and show?

As Hero and Heroine’s characters are pure…

Why do we need roles and the characters? This is a box office film

Top stars and duets! Ooty and Kodaikanal! Steps, steps man!

Yes, we need steps

What was that background, we need steps

Heroine solo without hero two loops

Why do we need these loops and loopholes Sir, for top stars? - Not loopholes

Why does he say loopholes, Sir? - Balu

That first intro, heroine will be behind hero

Hero behind the hero, he takes the girl behind tree like this

He comes over her

Tilt up camera!

What happens down, we’ll show it upwards

What’s down, you look upwards

We shake the tree - Wow! Note that, note it

After that… After that

“Muvva Gopala of thousands of Gopikas is our cute Krishna”

“He played flute to make the eyes of beauties glow”

“He looted the butter from the heart”

“Muvva Gopala of thousands of Gopikas is our cute Krishna”

“This little boy eating mud is the boy seeing you”

“He has no parents with him but has a lady by his side”

“He is the handsome man playing flute to taking into a trance”

“He robbed all the saris and got the body rid from troubles”

“He’s born as a replica of all Potanna’s poetry”

“Muvva Gopala is our cute Krishna”

“Muvva Gopala of thousands of Gopikas is our cute Krishna”

“He’s got thousands of names”

“He romanced and went to set a compromise”

“He recited meaningful Githa and changed many fates”

“He remained forever as a great man”

“He rised like a flood through Varadaiah’s songs”

“Muvva Gopala is our cute Krishna”

“Muvva Gopala of thousands of Gopikas is our cute Krishna”

“He played flute to make the eyes of beauties glow”

“He looted the butter from the heart”

“He played flute to make the eyes of beauties glow”

“He looted the butter from the heart”

“Muvva Gopala of thousands of Gopikas is our cute Krishna”

Wow, it’s a hit when danced like this

What’s in this, see on the screens!

There’ll be flowers showered, money showered

Whole industry should know how to take the dance songs

Cheers - Cheers

“Hail to Lord Ganesha”

“Hail and prayers to Goddess Saraswathi”

Balu

Hey Balu

Balu

Are you gone mad?

There should be a limit even to madness

What do all think when you do so like gone mad on the roads?

When I showed dancing great as it was a good song and good literature, he said no for that and ruined it

Don’t they know about good, bad and well being?

They spend Lakhs and have actors paid Lakhs, it’s them to see what they need

What for you in between?

I performed and showed it, right? - Silence

Getting angry when did idiotic jumps and filthy movements

They said it’s good and praised fantastic and said cheers!

Damn!

Don’t these big named celebrities feel ashamed to be doing these marching and filthy movements?

Shut up and do as they say obediently till you gain a name

No, I won’t see his face again. That idiot is floating in Whiskey round the clock

Hey, when asked for a job why you took me to him - Silence

You be silent. Great master, Guru!

Drunkard, drunkard!

Stop!

Did we reach home?

Come - No!

What’s wrong again, dude?

Is it Krishnashtami, today? - Yes, why?

See, how sacredly has sister in law drawn Krishna’s feet for little Krishna to walk in

See dude

And in the way for the Krishna to walk in…

Didn’t he come?

He came. As today is festival, saying he can’t come in like this, he sat right there

Poor guy, didn’t eat anything

Why did you come sister in law?

Here

I didn’t drink much - I haven’t asked

Take

Mummy, mummy!

Come dear - See this - Good morning aunty

Kishore, show that

Are you fine, son - Fine aunty

Read this

What’s this like a kid, Sailu?

Feel me as a kid for a minute, read mummy

Natya Mayuri Miss Sailaja

Are you clapping for yourself?

Why don’t you talk at all?

Can you give me some water, aunty?

Wait, I’ll talk

You too should’ve come to Hyderabad with us, aunty

What a public and what applause! What Sailu?

What are these titles and felicitations so fast?

Mummy, mummy - She didn’t still learn properly

Thank you

Yes, you’d say so for no evil sight to fall. All papers praised a lot saying she’s an expert

What Sailu?

Why do you ask me every time like we are saying lies?

Aunty, did I ever say lies? - No

See the papers if needed and you’ll know it

Are any still remaining? - Yes

Mummy, it seems Kishore’s dad wants to speak something with you

What’s it regarding?

Who knows, maybe something to be spoken by the elders

We’re kids and do they say it to us?

Not even knowing that five elements means earth, water, air, fire and sky…

In the stanza narrating five elements, did you enact like ghosts and devils?

How did that paper come into this? - Have you done so?

He was some fool mom, only he wrote like that

Kishore called and scolded that rascal strongly

Balu

That fellow, Balakrishna Bhagavathar

This is Kathak, this is bharatha natyam and this is Kathakali

Boasted high like just he knows everything

Mad idiot tried to perform and show

What is the name you said? - Balakrishna

Balakrishna

Did he perform all dances and show?

Yes, he’d have learnt in childhood

He should be steady to show, right? He was shaking badly, drunkard. Damn!

Why are you asking so seriously mummy? As he wrote so?

Is he still there?

Poor fellow was still alive when we saw

But if what we heard about him is true, he’d have been dead by now

Even his looks were so

Hey, rascals!

You remove my friend from job, rascals?

Call the Manager. Call the Manager

Two mistakes! He has done two mistakes

Number one, great poet and genius Raghu, my friend, my father and my God

Does he give proof reader job to such a great poet?

That is number one mistake

Number two

Number two, does he remove him from even that job?

Call him where is he? I want to talk to him

Excuse me

Hello, hello! Balu, operator! I want the proprietor

Raghu’s friend! Two mistakes, he’s done

Balu, Balu what’s this? Listen to me, what’s this nuisance here?

Move, you move out. You move out, man

Listen to me, move out. You move out

Oh no, leave me. Leave

Two mistakes, two mistakes you have done

What are they?

One, great poet and my friend Raghu! Proof reader?

Not just the five organs but a sage would make them go still

Human sculpts the world like a stone into Ahalya

Written by my friend, Raghu. He’s a great poet, great poet

Proof reader - Balu

Hey Balu, what’s this?

Rascal, you

Hey, what’s this?

This fellow did two mistakes - Ok, come on

Wait dude, wait - Come on, dude

Wait

For the first mistake fall on Raghu’s feet - Hey

Rascal! You should make Raghu as the editor

They’ll make, come on

I’m talking for you

Hey, two mistakes - Ok, move

Let him do - When said to make you editor

He’ll do, come on - Wait

Hey… - Balu

Balu! What happened, dude?

Is it paining? Where?

Balu - Nothing

Is it paining lot - Wait

Come on, dude - Wait

Come, let’s go to the Doctor - He did two mistakes

Ok, come on - Two mistakes

Excuse me, what’s he to you? - Why Sir?

Is he an alcoholic? - Anything serious?

His liver is completely damaged. It’s tough to live if he can’t quit drinking

I’m just coming over there, sister

Please warn him

Balakrishna, madam - Yes

I see. Recently made a mess writing a review in our paper, Balu - Yes

I see. No idea where he stays, madam

Not that - No, not now

I came for him from so far, I should meet him somehow

We should be surprised that he’s still alive. He’s a drunkard

In that trance, he may fall under some bus or lorry - Please

You should somehow enquire about him and let me know his address

I’m staying in this hotel - Room number?

209 - 209

Oh no!

Hey Chakri - No!

What’s wrong?

What’s wrong, dude? - What are those screams?

It makes kids fear

These are the Jatis - Jatis or my foot?

What’s that with elders, rascal? My foot!

Do you really know photography?

I’ve been working in photo studio from Four years and what’s that idiotic question?

Go, stand and I will click

Where, here?

This place is fine, right? - Ok

Ready, steady!

Did you click? - First class

Chakri dear, these are dance photos. That’s why I give a posture. You…

Give, give that fast. I’m very hungry. Come on give

Posture isn’t what you eat. It’s a pose like this

Oh, pose? You can’t say even that, my foot

Where did you stick to me, dude?

Ready, ready - Wait

Pose

Steady

Pose

Steady

Pose

Steady

Pose

Good, this pose is good

This isn’t a pose idiot, a mosquito

Pose

Ok, ok! Come outside and I’ll click like you jumped over the coconut tree

It’s good here

Here? - Yes

Yes, right there

Jump - Say when to jump

One, two and three

Jump - I jumped, dude

Then, why was it not seen?

Rascal - No

You said studio for so many years and experience, what’s that?

Sit in that chair

Hey, you said to be working in photo studio from four years. Is this the work?

Why, isn’t this work?

Please sit in that Chair

You’ve ruined me Chakri

And my photos

You gave the slip to Proprietor Sir and he’ll get them

Why’s that hurry?

What to sweep now when customers are coming? Go

Here are your photos, Sir

We printed few as samples. But unfortunately nothing came correctly

Daddy - Coming dear

If you need a drink, you get it for free

What is this, idiot? - You

This - Tirupati

This is camera mistake

Oh no, proprietor would kick if he sees

How did Tirupati come here again?

How did it come, huh!

This isn’t good

What’s this? - Your leg

Just the legs, did you click at least one photo good?

Yes, it’s behind

This one

Excuse me

Hello Madam, be seated - Yes

Hello madam - Hello

I did few test prints as you said, they came beautiful. Excellent

Thanks - Hello Sir, excuse me

Give me my bill

Excuse me madam, you’ve clicked his photos right? - Yes

You look to be a good dancer

Daddy - Coming dear

You… - My name is Madhavi

I was there when you and that boy were doing feats with the camera

Photography is my hobby

You like dance? - How do you know?

No, an article “Dance forms and temple structures” came in Illustrated Weekly recently

It said texts and photographs by Madhavi, it was you right?

Yes, I wish to start the second series too - Oh, very good

If you help me - Sure

But you too should do me a small favor - What?

Here, I got these photos clicked to show my mom but this guy did like this

My mom came here for Dr. Satyamurthy’s son’s marriage

If you can give one photo from these, I’ll take and - I see

We too have come for the same marriage - Drinks!

Look, all from this - No, you give to this fellow

Do I print them, my foot! It’s the proprietor. You and your foolish doubts

Please say madam

Ask your proprietor to urgently print all from this - Ok

These are photos. What are these?

What’s this? A junk

Please have it

Mom, mom! - Yes

I said Madhavi madam right? It’s her

Hello madam - Hello

Oh no, clothes will get dirty

Balu, get that stool son

No problem

My Krishna! - No Mr. Balakrishna

Thank you

Will you have coffee - Oh no please

Crazy idiot! He’s crazy about dance from childhood

No idea! I don’t even get those names properly

Manipuri, Odissy and something else and he want to learn even those dances

Then, he’d make a form named Bharatiya Nrityam mixing all the forms it seems

Crazy fellow! If his dad was alive, he’d have arranged to learn them all by now

He too likes music and dance very much. My income is very little

He’s somehow learning by requesting and pleading one and all

You’d have seen.

I’m smaller in age and why do you give so much respect?

No problem dear, you are a rich girl.

Just in the photos, he looks so bright. No idea how my son looks while dancing in real

Maybe as my sight disturbs if I see in real, that God may take me away before watching it

Come on, nothing would happen so. We are all here to take care

Here - Mr. Balu

Oh no - It’s hot

You should give a great performance as per our wish

He’d give, but when? His whole life is enough to learn all across the nation

And our life will be done like this in marriages and functions

After that… Give, give one

After that, when reborn he’d dance and we will see

Enough of what’s cut. Go and go and grind the dal

Why are you still in that work? Come on cut those vegetables

What are you doing here? Some great lady is dancing there, it seems

Go learn the techniques

Papad color isn’t good, let that fry further

You go dear, go fast

Yes, you’re doing the plates and I’m watching

Go on… You carry on

Photos are good, son. See you dear - Fine

Balu, come here - Yes

Will you ask for one photo and take? I’ll take it with me - Yes

Hey, no! - She doesn’t misunderstand

No need, she’d think us cheap

See you dear

Many thanks. Where are you staying? - That…

Mom - Yes

I’m here and I’ll do that. Get up

Move mom

Here

“Hey kid! One adorned with rich garments and protector of the virtuous!”

“One adorned with rich garments and protector of the virtuous!”

“Hey rejoice of Goddess Lakshmi and wielder of arrows!”

“Bestower of auspiciousness, treasure of companion and cloud like hued!”

“Why don’t I get your mercy?”

“This isn’t the time to make fun”

“Come hey Lord of the Lords”

“Come hey great man!”

“Come on hey lotus eyed Lord”

“Hey son of Raghu dynasty, Lord surrounded by those whose hearts are filled with nectar!”

“Lord surrounded by those whose hearts are filled with nectar!”

“Lord as majestic as the ocean, destroyer of demons and son of Dasaratha!”

“Lord conversing with the wise all around the world!”

“Why don’t I get your mercy?”

“This isn’t the time to make fun”

“Why don’t I get your mercy?”

My boy!

You danced so well dear

May the evil sight be gone from your son!

Baby, let’s leave after lunch if you pack the bags and be ready - Ok

I’ll go to the hall and inform Mr. Murthy by then - Ok Daddy

Hello Sir - Hello

Miss Madhavi - My daughter

Hello Sir - Daddy

Hello

I said Mr. Balakrishna, a great artist and a gifted dancer.

He’s the one - Hello Sir

If known before, we would’ve arranged his performance yesterday at the marriage

No, I haven’t yet reached that stage Sir. I’m just learning

I see - You are too modest

Please come

See you Sir - See you

Daddy - What dear?

If Saroja is willing, bring her. We shall take with us.

Let them not talk bad saying we didn’t ask - Ok

Go on

This is a big headache with these relatives. They never care about others problems

Be seated

Ramu!

New place

Why trouble for you? - No problem

These relatives keep waiting for a very minute chance to point out

Will there be same problem even with friends?

Why, you think I’d feel the same about you?

Why not think?

You aren’t a relative or a friend. A friendly relative above the both, ok?

Then do one thing, stop calling me as Balakrishna and call me Bandhuhit Bandhopadhyay

It’s good, you can add even Pandit after you become a great dancer in future

Oh no! Oh God, that would become much lengthier

Pandit Bandhuhit Bandhopadhyaya

Let it be. If it feels tougher, we can take the prefixes and call as Pan Ban Ban

It sounds sweet, right?

Coffee - Yes

It’d take 10 to 15 years to become Pan Ban Ban, but a small request by then as Ba Kri

What’s that Mr. Balakrishna?

Mom and team are leaving this evening by train

If you can give one from yesterday’s photos, I wish to give them

Say the truth, you felt it or she said to ask

Mom said to ask

Later she said, it isn’t good and no

I dared and am asking

So, you understood your mom after so long. Is it?

Yes, I’m learning now to understand the opposite’s heart

So, you’re developing faster

So, it won’t take much time from Ba Kri to Pan Ban Ban

Oh no! Have you become Na Kri again?

I’ll get the photos

All for you, for your mom

When a person gets so close with the slightest friendship…

It’s enough if you don’t forget us after you get popular in future

Thus, to be on safe side I have a small request - What?

To get a photo clicked with you

With me? - Yes

To say greatly in future that I too know this world famous Balu Sir

Pan Ban Ban - Pan Ban Ban

And who’d click?

This has a self timer - Oh

It isn’t there in this poor thing

Set it, I’ll learn

Do you know how to focus - Yes, focus…

This is focus - Oh this

Do it

Sorry

You do it - Yes

Yes, come… Oh no!

Sorry

See, this is timer. No, don’t press right away.

I’ll go and stand there. You press and come - Ok

Ok, understood? - After this focus - Yes

Give some space beside you, even for me

Yes, ready

This one, right? - Yes, that

Shall I press - Yes

I pressed - Come before it leaves

Why’s this leaving? - Come before it leaves

What? - Come before it leaves

What? - I said to come

Smile

Don’t do anything to my father - Oh no

I can’t see anything - Daddy

Oh no, I’m gone blind - I can’t see you so, daddy

No, I can’t see anything - Hello Mr. Raghu, save my dad

Hey Balu, leave that poor man. He can’t withstand

What is your dirty concern? This is my house and my rent

When I came to ask, you do so to me?

Balu, leave him. Balu! - Hey!

Please don’t go

Hey Balu, at least stop now idiot

Does Mr. Balu stay upstairs? - Yes madam

You are… - My name is Madhavi

Oh, is it you

Dear Balakrishna

I won’t move

Hey Balu, Miss Madhavi is coming

So what, I won’t move from here. - Oh no, my leg

Please come

Hey, my leg - This is one leg dance

Hey, my leg - He’s my uncle.

Poor man wishes a lot to learn dance from Balu

Hey, oh no!

Salutes after learning it all

This is the first lesson. Here, make him practice - Yes uncle

You’ll become a great dancer

Madam, this isn’t a dance or my foot. These are

This isn’t dance but jumps. Wait for just one month and you’ll completely get it

Will it completely come? - Yes

Without any balance - Yes

How’d it come in a month? You can’t get even hundredth part

She said the real truth - Oh no

Oh no, I’ll die if it continues so

My uncle says to risk even life for the art

Poor man

Should you take so much strain? When you asked for address, I thought you’d send by post

We stay in the same place and thought why to post

So, you too - Yes

This…

If it doesn’t come even in your camera, it must be a curse

Hello

Thank you

Balu! - Dancer!

I’ve never seen a person who adores dance so much, uncle

He forgets everything while dancing, so devoted, so religious

You should see his dance once

Why dear, you wrote so clearly and it’s like I saw

Good tempo knowledge, good thought process, very good foot work and it must be fine

Thus, we should make him perform at all India dance festival

They said it’s in Delhi this time, right uncle?

Yes dear, a good occasion and a very good opportunity. It’ll be fine

Selection committee chairman is Dr. Divakar, second son of our Patwardhan

He worked as mu assistant in GMH. He’s a good art lover, very good gentleman and fine person

Then, definitely include Balu’s program uncle - Ok dear

Then it’ll be good, very good - Very fine also

I’ll get juice for you, dad

Who’s that boy?

No idea, I think she met him at the recent marriage

I see great change in Madhavi compared to the previous days

She looks very happy and energetic. It’s a good change and very good improvement

That’s why I never objected when she clicked photos, wrote articles as a hobby

But this boy and this friendship…

Enough if Madhavi can forget her past at least this way

It’s good, very good. It’s fine for her

They say All India music and dance festivals take place every year, are they so great?

Yes, it’s very special.

Artistes from all over… Wait…

Ambassadors from different nations and special dignitaries and at times even Prime Minister comes

To perform before so many great people and co-artistes, it should be in fate

It’s tough for people like us, even to think of it

Have you ever been at least to see that festival?

Thank you

No way! Once, I somehow tried hard and got one invitation from master

But exactly when I had to go, I had no money and…

Luck should be there

I have few invitations for this time’s festival. You can go

Do you have invitations?

Here!

All India dance… this is the one

Inaugural dance by Yamini Krishnamurthy! My God!

Odyssey dance by Sonal Mansingh! Oh!

Is she so great? - Then what?

Mohini Attam by Geetha Nair, wow!

Kathak dance by Gopi… Gopi Krishna!

All are great dancers this time

Classical dances item by Balakri…

He too is a very great dancer

What is this like a small kid?

I… Thank you!

Oh!

Congratulations Mr. Balu, you danced great

Please wait, please

Ok!

How?

Mr. Balu! Mr. Balu, careful

Here, give!

Hey, wait!

Oh no!

Please

Leave my hands, man

Oh no!

Ladies are coming

What happened?

Please go

Hey, what’s this?

Respect!

Sorry

Balakrishna!

Congratulations Sir

Oh! - Madhavi madam

Madhavi madam - Yes Raghu

Madhavi madam - Just a minute

Tomorrow is the journey and she’s packing bags inside

Madhavi madam - Oh, did Mr. Balu’s mom come?

She isn’t in a condition to come. She’s very sick

What do you mean? - Yes

Oh! So sorry

Poor fellow bought new dress for her mom

He wished her to wear that silk sari and sit in front of him and when he is dancing before the public…

So sad!

I think it’s better we cancel this trip

No! Will such a great chance come again if missed?

Even his mom wanted him to reach heights and that he should be recognized

We should somehow convince him and take

Lungi! - Going to Delhi - Bye

What dude, did you pack? - Come on

Where’s mom? Is she down?

Come on Madhavi madam, I think he packed and I’ll be ready in 10 minutes

Let’s start then

Mom! Mom!

What dude, didn’t mom come? - She didn’t come

Why?

Why means, she agreed a marriage many days back it seems

She said can’t make it and asked us to go. Start now

She’s going for a marriage and let’s go to a function

How hard did you try and get me this chance?

Even if my mom couldn’t say to Ganapathi uncle in fear, shouldn’t this idiot say?

Shouldn’t he say and bring her?

It may be true but her situation - Nothing

If I had gone, she’d have come flying with me and this fellow

Hey, come with Madhavi madam with the luggage

I’ll go and get mom directly

Balu! Listen to me, no need for you to go

I need it, no program without mom - She won’t come and she can’t

Why? - She’s sick

Mom!

Mom! Mom!

I’m Balu

Uncle! - What’s this son?

I said right uncle, his program is there in Delhi. It’s that invitation

Mom, All India Dance festival, New Delhi!

I even bought a silk sari for you mom

Mom, while you are sitting in front and watching

This is me, me!

Bala... Balakrishna!

Come on, click

Go further back

Where more into the river?

If so close, just a leg or hand comes and they may think you lame

Go a bit back

By the time you click the photo, I may flow away in the water

Ok, click

Silence, don’t talk. You won’t come good if you talk

What photos standing in the sea? Oh no, we should take at some Polavaram

You should have a brain there.

If you take photo at sea like this, you could say to have clicked in Bombay or Goa

You can smile later, first click the photo

Hello Sir - Chakri

When did you come here?

Tides are coming, I may flow away - You won’t flow away

My grandpa sir, very afraid

Sir, no use working there for any long

Thus I came here to make my uncle open a photo studio

No problem now Sir, new camera

How are you, Sir? - I’m there

You click the photo

Grandpa! Oh no, grandpa!

Grandpa! Grandpa!

Wait grandpa, I’ll click the photo - Go idiot

Wait - I don’t need

Wait, I’ll really click - I don’t need

Wait grandpa

Why are you laughing within?

I was thinking it’d be great going back to that boy’s age unable to understand

pleasures and troubles completely

It seems you too were going backwards like that before, it seems? Thrice a week!

Who said?

I know even if you don’t say

Your friend Mr. Raghu said about all your deeds

Idiot! Don’t care about what he said

Shall I care about the songs?

Just the words from the songs, but we shouldn’t care when he’s singing

Such a great voice and a greater tune than that

I didn’t feel so, when I heard his song recently

Which song?

That song which comes next week on radio, why’s this silence

How did he sing?

That is…

“Why’s the silence in this unforgettable night?”

“Moonlight from the heart is glowing through the eyes”

“In the pleasure around”

I think something like this

Say the truth, did he sing like this? - Why, don’t you believe?

You tuned those words like this, right?

What?

If you say good, heartfelt I won’t say a lie

You don’t need to say a lie. Please, you’re great

Ok, I’m great in singing as per your opinion.

As per me, Mr. Raghu is great in writing.

As per all of us, you’re great in dance.

Adding up greats of the three, it goes good if we do all India tour and perform, right?

Why not think of something like that?

Not enough to just have the ideas, but we should get chances to implement them

Where there is a will, there is a way

If you think hard, way automatically shows up

You really don’t know about your talent, Mr. Balu

Appoint me as your secretary and see how your fame and prestige spreads

Will you always be by my side? - Oh sure, why not?

I’ll be always with you

Really? - Promise

Then please, ask to stop the car - Why, I’ll drop at your house

No, I have a small work here. Please stop - Oh

Driver, please stop the car

Thank you

Oh no!

Damn!

See you - Bye

Hello

Madhavi - Yes, it’s me

Balu! Please say

Did you say to be always by my side from the heart?

Why, did you get a doubt again? Blau Sir, don’t have any more doubts

I’ll remain yours sincerely Madhavi, ok?

Thank you, thank you very much

Yes

Madhavi, I love you. I want to marry you

I will marry you, I mean it

Hello

Thank you! Please come

You think a person giving heart to another good person is a mistake? - What?

And those exchanging hearts so… Sorry!

Is it a crime thinking to come close?

You feel it’s any sin for those coming close to become one by marriage bonding?

That’s why I’ve even got wedding cards printed

Be seated, please sit down

There, sofa

Marriage of Raghu and Sumathi - Yes

Poor fellow has none to say as his own and thus

Be seated - It’s ok - Sorry

We should be with them and get this auspicious deed

Sure! I’m very happy that those two are getting married

Ok about those getting married

This is my gift and this song is your husband’s gift.

“Why’s the silence”

“Why’s the silence in this unforgettable night?”

“Moonlight from the heart is glowing through the eyes”

“In the pleasure around”

“Why’s so much silence in this unforgettable night?”

“Why did talking lip shiver?”

“What’s behind the shivering lip?”

“Like the heart getting along and age blossoming”

“Shadowed thoughts and slight breezy promises”

“When asked for something”

“Why’s the silence in this unforgettable night?”

“Snow showered in moon’s hug”

“Flower blossomed at moonlight’s doorstep”

“Are these the seven steps or ponds of romance?”

“Emotions of the girl’s age and whispers of eyes”

“Even after knowing so much”

“Why’s the silence in this unforgettable night?”

“Why’s so much silence in this unforgettable night?”

“Moonlight from the heart is glowing through the eyes”

“In the pleasure around”

“Why’s so much silence in this unforgettable night?”

I don’t know whether I’m greedy more than my capacity

I really don’t know

I’m wishing to marry Madhavi, Sir

Of course, if you don’t have an objection for that

And only if Madhavi agrees

Being my only daughter, wished that she should live happily in a wealthy family

I fixed her marriage in a traditional family

We came to know that my entire wealth in court has gone over to my cousins

They knowing this felt very angry

They gave judgment saying that marriage never happened, went away leaving her with me

I went to their place and pleaded them catching their feet

I requested not to ruin my daughter’s family at the very beginning

But, they sat over the wealth part stubbornly

Madhavi stayed back right here, with a hope that their hearts would change at some point

Hello Sir - Hello

How do you do? - You know me?

Though I couldn’t see your marriage directly, I’ve seen your wedding album

That wasn’t a marriage.

Please

Just a nightmare

A bad incident which gave pain and troubled all making restless

Though I knew what I was doing is wrong that day, I just bent my head

That was for my dad’s satisfaction. He’s no more

I don’t feel ashamed to bow my head ask for an apology today

I’ve thus come here

Madhavi, I wished that you should settle in life and thus I came to search for a man

to make you happy and get you married to him.

You put aside that trouble for me.

Madhavi, I know what Balu is and how good he is. I know.

Yes Balu, Doctor Uncle said everything about you. I’m extremely happy

You make an ideal couple

Please - Thank you

Please have it

I haven’t settled in life till now

I can’t settle any more now sharing life with another woman

Thus I’ve decided to at least settle in business

I’m selling away all properties here and moving permanently to Canada

If you both good hearted people bless me and say bye, I think I’ll be like you at least there

Do you believe in God?

I’m not an atheist

You believe me too, right?

Did I behave like I don’t?

As you believe me, please respect my words too

After seeing Mr. Gopalrao and after listening to his words, I felt he’s really a God

I don’t need to say you with theism newly to worship that God

I wish you both to be happy forever with great health and wealth

Please don’t think of anything else. He’s a good man and able person

Madhavi will be happy. I sincerely wish her all the best.

Let it happen Sir

Mr. Balu, all the best

You aren’t going alone

Hi Balu

Will you click or should I?

I’ll click and it’d come good this time

Do you have flash? - What?

Flash!

I have it

Give some place to me also beside you

Hello! Yes, myself

What? Oh! What’s the house number?

Somehow this…

You said one of your friend said that some specialist cured such disease in Ooty or somewhere

All those are rich people Sir - See you

They can cure even the costly diseases

People like us leading lives in debts will have to adjust with herbal lotions

It’s me, Madhavi

Please come

I think some guests - Yes, thank you

Please come

Sumathi! Sumathi!

Please come, be seated

Madhavi madam

Hello - Hello

Hubby, her husband

It’s been very long seeing you - Yes

Is what I heard about true? - What did you listen?

I heard what I shouldn’t, that his health is bad and is in a dangerous state

Nothing that you shouldn’t but you heard to what you should

Where is he? I should see him

I want to see him

Sir, say the details

Koundunyasa Gotra

Mrs. Madhavi, Mr. Venugopal

Balu! Balu!

Slow

Balu!

The day when you couple came together as family, it is a festival for him

Though he drinks everyday and does whatever, but just this one day every year he keeps pure and

does worship at every temple praying for you both

Madhavi madam, he lives 364 days for just this one day

Why did he become like this? What happened?

He decided to dedicate himself to dance and fulfill his life

And by then, his mom with great hopes on him passed away

The person whom he felt as a great support, that person… You too went away

He was left behind in pain and depression

He got addicted to drinking for driving away his loneliness

And that addiction made him so and ate him off

Past is past, I’ll take him with me to my place

I’ll show him to a good Doctor. He’d get well

He’d become normal again

No! He imagines you living happily with your husband and can he live seeing you like this?

He’d die at once with his heart stopped

Let him drink like this

It’s better that his life is gone like this in his imagination and happiness in his drunk state

Let him die the same way - No, it shouldn’t happen so

We shouldn’t leave him helplessly to time and fate

If you support me

What’s it, don’t I feel happy to see him getting well?

Say, what shall I do?

What mummy, where is this sudden journey?

To Doctor Grandpa’s house

You should stay there for few days and learn dance

What more to learn now after so many programs and felicitations?

That was my mistake

I said ok when a baby who couldn’t even properly crawl said to run

Oh, so the master to teach me how to walk now is there in that place

Yes - Who?

Mr. Balakrishna - What, Ba…

Are you joking?

What to make fun with you? Come on, we are getting late

No, after writing so bad about me I won’t… - Sailu

Mr. Balakrishna is your master

I won’t learn from him - You are learning

What, dance? Don’t be a fool

Real art died long back and you say someone wants to learn and I should teach

That won’t happen, impossible task

It will happen and should happen

I gave them a word

You once made me do a foolish thing

For 50 rupees, you made me write about an idiot’s dance performance and what happened?

And now another foolish deed? No, either you or I should have some sense

We should be going back. Stop the train

Hold on! Where is the chain? - Sir

Sir - Don’t stop

Pull, come on pull it

You said no problem even if we have no children saying Balu is our kid

Here, this great man saying she isn’t my sister in law but like mom after my mom

says to pull the chain and return home

Move on, you can die in pain thinking I couldn’t get you even medicine when on death bed

Not that Raghu, I can’t teach anyone. I don’t have the will

No, you don’t do something you don’t like

I somehow had a hope. I can’t anyways get her such a treatment

They said to give you a house and big payment.

I dreamt madly that if I get her treated with that money, God would take care of the rest

No problem, she’d die in the next four days instead of four years. That’s it

Why do you sit silently, come on pack it fast!

I think some station is nearing. Let’s return home in the next train - Wait

What?

Why so angry? Be seated

Hello Sir! Hello Sir

Hello Sir - Do you know Mr. Balu before?

I can compare Lord Sri Rama if Crowning ceremony photos are shown, Sir

Hello Sir

Madam is coming, you be seated Sir

Sailu - Yes

Whom should I give all these? - To the master

Salute him and take his blessings - Ok

Come dear

Idiot! You know how many traditions are there? This is Bharatha Natyam

How long would she be so? Bless her

Raghu - Hello Sir

Hello

I’ve arranged it all in the hospital

You first admit and then I’ll take all the tests after coming

Thank you very much

Balu, you know him right? Dr. Murthy Sir, hospital in-charge

He is… - I know him, I know him

Balu, see you. I’ll admit your sister in law before the bad time starts

Grandpa, can I get up now?

Sailu, you go now and get ready for the class

And this dress of master

Get them packed and put them in the out house

Come on Balu, come on

Sivaiah - Madam

Is everything good? Heater in the bathroom and all - Madam

Remaining change after buying all these, madam

Keep it - Madam

You are crazy, will my health get better even if place and Doctors are changed?

No idea about you but I’m confident that Balu’s health will get better

Hello - Hello - Hello

What’s sister in law saying?

It seems you asked to arrange special room.

She on the name of disease and I being her husband got a chance to enjoy luxuries

No, what’s that? She should recover completely and that’s my wish

Madam, this… - Keep it inside

Dr. Murthy Sir is coming and I’ll talk to his assistant by then

Ramaiah - Sivaiah, Sir

Sivaiah, there should be Cigarette packs in that bag. See - Sir

As it smelled bad, I put that bag for washing Sir

And the cigarettes

There was just a towel in that and I’ve taken as that was too worn away Sir

You’ve killed me

You shouldn’t talk so at this dawn time, Sir. It’s wrong, Sir

Bottles in this… - It’s here Sir

Thank God, you’ve at least kept that carefully

Yes, come on. Get it

This is from Tata’s and you get a comb free buying one bottle Sir

All the belongings I brought…

You’d have forgotten somewhere Sir. Madam gets to know even if a diamond is found here, Sir

She gets to know even if a piece of stone goes missing, Sir

Ramaiah - Sivaiah, Sir

This is a cold place and the big people take the holy liquid right? - Yes Sir

Do you know where it can be found? - I know, Sir

Where? - Not just the holy water Sir

Holy water and the offering at Siva’s temple in the mornings, Sir

Holy water and the sweet rice at Vishnu temple in the evenings Sir

Sir, madam asked me not to let you go out in this cold weather

No Sir, no Sir…

I got my sister in law admitted in hospital

No idea, how she is - Is it Sir? Then go Sir

Go safe and come happy Sir

No Sir, take fruits for sister in law Sir

Hello Madam! Hello Madam

Driver, park the car in shed

What Sivaiah, did baby complete her lessons?

No idea about the lesson, but she went out as some Sir came, madam

Sir - Yes madam

It seems some Kishore Sir, Madam

Then, what’s the master doing? - He too has gone out madam

I said not to let him go anywhere and asked you to get if he needs something, right?

I said, madam. But he said some holy water and I didn’t understand, Madam

He left the empty glass there and went to the hospital to see his sister in law, madam

Did he say to be going to hospital? - Yes Madam

Hey!

Sivaiah!

Oh no!

Small Madam, Sir?

Shall I get her here, Sir?

Why Sir?

Will you teach her dance, Sir?

Sir!

Madhavi! - What’s this?

In this rain, on that well… Either the leg slips or you go dizzy

Madhavi, will I be alive so long if I had the luck to die fast?

You like this…

Here! Could I see so like Goddess Parvathi?

Oh no! What are you here?

Who do you think is Sailaja?

That means…

Saialaja… Is it?

How is that? Damn!

Why couldn’t I…

How did I?

Yes! They say it’s lucky for son to be born like mom and daughter like dad

Sailaja is just like him. It’s him, right?

She became your disciple as she’s lucky.

But, the master hasn’t still shown mercy

That is… Not that Madahavi

Yes, dance of ghosts and devils, and a title felicitation for that. Is it that?

Poor girl, what can she do? Small girl and she does how she was taught

I was a mad idiot. Bloody fool! She did everything else fine

She did very great, too great!

That posture and all was perfect

When she just did a small mistake somewhere, writing so bad… Fool!

You wrote as it was and you have no mistake in that

With the ego not to have any mistake, I didn’t apologize to Sailaja that day when asked

Now after knowing all this, I’m not ashamed to ask for apology

Small girl and to her? - To you and your husband

He isn’t here - Oh, is he right there?

Yes, he’s right there - When would he come?

He won’t come, I should go there myself

Leaving Sailaja with you

Oh, will I let you go so easily?

I’ll go there, bring him here, make Sailaja dance, get blessed by Lord Nataraja

Then will make you couple account for the salary you gave and the lessons I taught

And then I’ll go myself after you say I’m done with

How many should I see the account for?

Should I see how many forms and poses you taught?

Should I see how many Brandy and Whiskey bottles you drank?

Should I see how many of your nerves got cut?

Should I see how much of your blood is turned into water?

What shall I see? - No Madhavi

No idea why I got addicted so and why I went so down…

Please don’t ask me anything

I forgot that Lord for so long. I let go practice and music, and roamed around like a mad man

Today you appeared as a Goddess and reminded me of that Lord

Thank you

I promise on his feet and am saying, that drunkard Balu is no more now

He won’t be. I mean it

I… Mean it

Sivaiah - Madam

Food is ready, shall I serve madam?

That’s fine but where’s mom? Isn’t she at home?

Maybe she’s in the outhouse madam - Outhouse?

Master Sir came drunk, madam

Why does she care if he comes drunk?

He is the Master and would die getting drenched in rain and dancing on the well, madam

I can’t say how tensed was Madam. Shall I serve food for you, madam?

No need, I’ll call when I feel hungry - Ok Madam

Hello Sister in law. Wow, looks like all get well, coming here

You too look healthy, except this fool

What, man? - Why are you so happy today?

I’ll say

Hey, come with me

Hey, slowly - Smell me

No drink smell at all - It won’t, check the pulse

It’s normal - It’ll be the same

Here, the heart - It’s sounding like anklets

It keeps sounding and won’t stop

What dude, all of a sudden you became like a God?

As a Goddess appeared! Hey, Sailaja is Madhavi’s daughter

Is it? - Yes

Madhavi was seen yesterday and she said it to me

You saw Madhavi? - Yes, very strangely

Hey, don’t ask where I got the drink from. I was heavily drunk and feet were on the well

On the well?

Yes, the well! Feet were there and the body was floating in the skies

When I was just about to fall in the well and die

Just like this, she caught my hand and pulled me out

When I saw, it was Madhavi. Our Madhavi!

You said were heavily drunk and in a trance. How could you see and recognize?

No, these eyes didn’t recognize, but the heart

Though is grown old, she is charming like Goddess Parvathi

Oh, Doctor Sir is here.

Hello

How are you?

Good morning - Good morning, good news

Wait, should I say first or will you say?

I know what you’re going to say. But what I want to say is

Raghu! Madhavi is donating Five Lakh rupees to our hospital on our golden jubilee celebrations

Great, it’s really great - Then do one thing

What? - Arrange our Sailaja’s dance program in that program

Hey - Yes, a rare item

See, how I’ll train her

Sir, you can see that old Balu in our Sailaja

You print the tickets, announce it - Ok

See you Sir

Doctor Sir

Good day, Doctor - Good day

Balu says to have seen Madhavi

Yes Raghu, Madhavi informed me about what all happened

What she did then was correct, the right thing

Very right thing

Doctor, easily one Lakh collection from us - Sure, thank you

See you

You’d stay for few days, right?

Yes! Ok, see you Sailu - Come and have a coffee

Sailu, not now but will come later

Come on, don’t be silly. There’s nothing to worry, come

Yes Madhavi, it seems they have a good orchestra - Ok

I’ll go talk everything and start the rehearsal tomorrow itself - Ok

After that

Hello - Hello

See you Madhavi. Madhavi!

Let Sailu learn with concentration at least till this program is done, Kishore. Please

Is Mr. Balakrishna just a master for me or anything more?

You too learnt that Master is Brahma, Vishnu and Maheswara. Should I say you?

That implies to a person introduced as a master and who teaches with the same relation

Sailu, even this relation is of same purity

I don’t need to hide why I have to be like this, from you

Mr. Balu - You don’t need to give any explanations and I don’t need to listen

That time when I said Mr. Balu who wrote bad about me was a drunkard ready to die soon,

I didn’t understand why you got so worried then

When you started saying to meet Doctor Grandpa suddenly in the night, I didn’t know where

I didn’t understand why you brought him so far, made him my master

But, can’t I still understand after seeing so much, mom?

Sailu, listen completely to me and decide whether I was right or wrong

Please, I have great respect and devotion towards my dad

I can’t forget him now getting know the right and wrong

Thus I’m asking you to decide whether you stay back here or come with me

Sailu, I thought you were still a kid. You grew very big, dear

Will you leave me and go? What?

Before our family respect leaves us, it’s better I take my precautions

Thus, nothing is still out of hands. Decide who you need

You could say so as you got the courage that you don’t have any more need of me

You got ready to leave with an assurance that you can self sustain

Ok, after you came to such a decision listen to my decision too

I’ll with those, who needs my help - Ok

Then, I’m leaving

Tomorrow is my dad’s death anniversary and you don’t need to get that done

I’ll arrange for that

Madhavi! Sailu!

Hello Sir!

Hello Sir! Hello Sir! - Fine

Madam - She’s been to the temple, Sir

Ok!

Careful Sir - Ok

What’s the matter? - Her husband’s death anniversary

Sastry Sir, we shall go to Mr. Madhava Rao’s house in the morning. Come fast

Balu! Balu!

You’ll be alright - Balu, please

Please!

Raghu - Oh Raghu

He’ll come. I sent a message and he’ll come

Murthy Sir, Balu… - It came very severe this time

He got upset knowing about Madhavi - Oh

He’s very worried saying to see you

I gave sedation. Still, let him not get emotional

Where is he? - That side

Balu! Balu!

Balu

Madhavi! Madhavi - Yes, Madhavi

Do you know? Today is her husband’s death anniversary

You know it, right? - Yes, I know

Then why did you hide it? Why is Madhavi seen so whenever she meets me?

Because you can’t bear knowing about what she went through

We hid it as we can say the reality after your health gets better

For you, to make you a normal man and to see you alive

Who would gain and who loses if I’m alive or dead?

Balu, any art is a blessing from the God and goodwill from the past life

She couldn’t see you ruin this great art by force, given by God

She hoped that the art would re-blossom along with you, if you get better

She dreamt you could remain forever if Sailaja can become your successor

That’s why she tried to see you alive without considering about good or bad

Where is Sailaja?

Dr. Murthy sent me the message

Good that he got him at the right time. I think he’ll be alright

He’s saying, want to immediately see Sailaja. Is she at home?

No, maybe she isn’t there in this city. - What’s that?

Doctor! Doctor! - Yes

You do tests, flood medicines or puncture all over my body. I won’t object

Similarly, you don’t object to whatever I do here

Is it? Don’t say this to Balu. I’ll somehow get Sailu

Madhavi!

Be seated

Madhavi, I’ll die only after I take care that my art doesn’t die with me

Sailu, we are getting down in the next station and going back - Why?

What, why? What does it mean to suddenly leave without information when your program is arranged there in the hospital?

What about those who gave a word there? - Who gave word?

Is it me, her or her Mr. Balakrishna?

Let them go to hell, I don’t care anybody

Sailu! Sailu! - Yes

This is a test both for you and me. Time we have is very less

Unless we practice day and night

Balu! Balu!

That program isn’t important now, it goes on any how

I’ll arrange something as alternative

Doctor, no! She will do and she has to do

Balu, you don’t understand your condition. Try to understand

Doctor, you are eager to see me alive and I’m eager to make my soul be alive

Please, please don’t stop me

See, Sailu is getting ready

Go, go and say that she’s learning and that she’ll come and dance

Balu, listen to me - Go, please go

Take the challenge, please

I neither want to learn nor dance in front of those who I don’t like

Sailu!

Next, members of this Golden Jubilee are greatly indebted to a few

First from them is Mrs. Madhavi, she donated Five Lakh rupees

Next is Sri Balakrishna, he helped a lot for the dance performance of Miss Sailaja

to happen today not caring about his health condition

Now, I request Mrs. Madhavi on your behalf to come here and accept our felicitation

Mrs. Madhavi!

This should be helpful to all. I donated this for not all to praise me or felicitate me

Actual reason I came here is different

Mr. Blakrishna’s mother passed away without witnessing her son’s dance performance

in front of the audience and him being praised by all

I being selfish not to witness such a scenario to repeat, I came to see Miss Sailaja’s

dance performance with my own eyes

My heartfelt thanks to Mr. Balakrishna to have given me this luck as her mother

I’m that Balakrishna, Mrs. Madhavi spoke about

Either to say about me to the audience or to get an applaud from you all as an artist,

my mom passed away without seeing all this

My life had gone into darkness along with her exit and it ended

This Goddess brought me out from that state and gave me a rebirth

I’m a poor man who can’t give back anything in return for that

I convey my thanks to that great lady by exhibiting my art through Miss. Sailaja’s dance
