'The evolution of man
towards civilisation'

'was an outcome of his
inner desire to evolve.'

'He used the violent flames
of fire to give him light.'

'However a burning desire
is all it took to consume him.'

'Lust, anger, greed,
attachment, pride and envy'

'consumed him like
a raging fire.'

'Instead of emitting
a bright, pleasant light'

'this resulted in
a violent inferno.'

'This inferno does not mark
the beginning of this story'

'rather it is the end.
The reason for this end..'

"Desire is the root.."

"Desire is the root.."

"Desire.."

"Excess of desire.."

"Excess of desires
leads to greed."

"Greed.."

"Yes.."

It is said that desire is
the root of all suffering.

But a human life
is filled with desires.

Upon childbirth,
the desire for celebration.

If it's a baby girl, we desire
a good groom for her in life.

If it's a baby boy, we desire
a good bride for him in life.

After getting married,
we desire to have children.

If it's a baby girl,
we desire to have a boy.

Hey, pay attention.

Hence every person
will always have a desire

blossoming in his heart.

So is it possible
to lead a life without desires?

Tell me.

Right.. It's not possible.

It's impossible for any creature
to not have desires.

That's because

the Almighty who created us has
created these desires as well.

Hey!

He is speaking such wise words.
Stop dozing off. Listen to him.

Oh.. He's been paid for it.
That's why he's speaking.

If you don't give him the money

forget the discourse,
he won't speak up at all.

Hey! Shut up! We haven't
paid to listen to him.

He fools some people for money

but he fools us
as we are already fools.

Isn't that done?

Darn your evil tongue.

Why do you say such things?

It comes naturally.
I can't help it.

Shut up!

Lust is blind

similarly there is no end
to desires.

We are born out of lust.

And desire is the root
of lust as well.

Lust is innate and so is desire.

But, as humans, as citizens

our lust, our desires

should be anchored.

Otherwise

there won't be any difference
between a human and a beast.

Look..

He says desire is innate and
he also tells us to anchor it.

Tell him to look into my eyes
for a moment.

Let me see if he gives in to
lust or anchors his desires.

Darn your thoughts!

You'll bring disgrace to me.
Let's go home.

Hey, we're leaving. Let's go.

Where did you get this?
- I found it on the way

it was quite appealing.
I plucked it.

Won't it be great if all
fruits are available so easily?

You are impossible.

Your words and the discourse..

I don't get anything.
- You were praising him back then.

He's an elder, a learned person.
He must have said good things.

Even lies sound good. Right?
- Shut up.

Mom, he spoke for
hours at a stretch.

You didn't shut him up.

We still have a long way to go.

I am speaking to kill time
and you want to shut me up.

Darn! Will you please shut up!

Your father must be waiting.

Your drunkard husband must be
waiting for you, not me.

Had I found someone
who would wait for me..

Had you got me married, even
I'd have been a mother by now.

Just like my friends.
They have borne so many children

as if there's no better work
left for them now.

Darn!

Hey! Stop!

Hey, Malli!

Hey, Malli.
- Yes.

Everything happens at a time.

At a destined time.

The house won't come to us,
we need to go to it.

Similarly, we need to get
to the suitable time in life

instead of rotting in one place.

Why are you staring at me?
I know you didn't get it.

What kind of a mother are you?
You have been through my age

but you can't understand
my state of mind.

Hey..

Well..
- Stop it, Mom.

Come on.

Hey..

Oh..

Dad..

Dad..
- Coming..

Hey..
- Oh.. - What happened?

Are you experiencing pain?
- Yes, Dad.

I'm scared, Dad.
- Oh..

That's why I told you
to be with her at night.

Kempa!

Kempa!

Some more time..

Hey.. Go call Ms. Gowramma.

Okay.
- Hey! Stop.

It may get late.
Let's take her there.

You think so?

Okay. Kempa, get the vehicle.

Okay, sir.

Sleep now.

Hey, Malli!

I heard a vehicle's noise.

There's no peace in our lives.

Oh..
- Careful, dear.. - Oh..

Careful.. - It's paining a lot.
We have reached.. We have..

Dad..
- We have reached.

Mom.
- The vehicle from the mansion.

Oh.. Sarso is expecting.

She must be in labour pain.
I'll go boil some water

you get the knife
to cut the umbilical cord.

Also get castor oil. Go fast!

Oh..
- Muthanna..

I can't bear this pain.
- Hey.. Muthanna.

Make it fast..
- Wake up. Sir is here.

Call Gowramma.

Muthanna..
- Hey..

Get up..

Muthanna.
- Oh.. I'll sit here.

Dad..

He won't wake up.
Greetings, sir.

Come, dear..

Be careful.

Slowly..

Don't worry, dear..

Come on..

Oh..

It's done, dear..

Bear the pain..
- I can't.. - It'll be done.

Hold your breath..
Yes.. Like that..

Why are you shouting?
I won't drink..

Mom!

It's paining..
- It's done.

Just a moment.. Push it..

It's done.

It's done, dear.

Dear, don't be scared.
It's done.

Malli, hold her hand.

Mom.. Oh..

God, I'll die..

You may drink tomorrow
instead of dying.

Just sleep for now. Sleep..
- Oh, God!

Malli, tell your father
to shut up.

He won't oblige so easily.
Just focus on your job.

Hey..
- Mom..

Mom.. I can't bear it.

You can..

Mom.. Oh.. I'll die..
- Bear it, dear.

Just once.. Just once,
push hard. - I can't.

Yes..

Malli, get that..

Oh..
- It's done..

It's done, dear..
- Oh..

Darn you useless soul..

You cry like a baby, I swear..

From tomorrow, I won't drink..

You did a great favour.

Not at all. I have helped
many women in childbirth.

Well..

God has sent me into this world
to do this noble deed.

It's a noble act

to help bring a life
into this world.

Oh.. The baby is so beautiful.

It has taken after you.

The mother is lucky if
the baby boy resembles her.

"Sleep, my baby.
Sleep, the apple of my eyes.."

"Sleep, my baby.
Sleep, the apple of my eyes.."

"Your mother showers
her affection on you.."

"She rocks you gently.."

"Her affection is boundless.
She toils hard for you."

"She won't let you cry."

"Your chuckles are
music to her ears."

"May you grow up
to realise all her dreams."

"You are the world to her."

"You are her life."

"Your birth has filled
her life with joy."

"Sleep, my baby.
Sleep, the apple of my eyes.."

"You are her sunshine.."

"You are her darling.."

"She nurtures and raises you
in the best of ways."

"She takes pains and troubles
to nourish you."

"Don't you forget these favours
one to you."

"To nurture you, she
even ignored her hunger."

"She was worried for you
and your well-being."

"And for ensuring the best
for you, she strived hard."

"Sleep, my baby.
Sleep, the apple of my eyes.."

"Sleep, my baby.
Sleep, the apple of my eyes.."

Mister..

Is anybody here?

The shoes have been
left here unattended.

I don't think anyone is around.

Are you far away?

Oh God!

Have you left your luggage here

and committed suicide
by jumping into these waters?

Hey! Somebody is drowning,
please help.

Sir!

Help.

Somebody, help!

Hey! Why are you shouting?

Has something grave happened?

Oh.. So you are alive.

Well, I've been calling out to
you since long

you didn't notice.

I was underwater,
hence I couldn't see you.

I can't see you
no matter where you are.

What were you doing here?

It's Yoga.

Holding your breath under water.

Oh.. That's just like
Duryodhana from Mahabharata.

Yoga under water.

You seem to be quite learned.

I am blind,
but I am fond of learning.

Sir, perhaps you are new
to this place.

Not only to this place.

I am new to every place I visit.

I go in search of new things

enjoy the natural beauty

and go from one
village to another.

You may call me a gypsy.
- Gypsy?

If you keep wandering,
how do you earn a living?

I have earned more than
what is needed to lead a life.

It is enough,
so I am wandering.

I pray for your journey
to continue further.

What's your name?
- Channakeshava.

What's your name?
- My name is Kannappa.

I know what your next
question would be.

'Who named you this?'

I did the honours.

In case my name impresses God
at some point

He will restore my eyesight
in an instant.

May your wish come true.

Well, one who carries a pen
need not be a writer

one who carries
a gun need not be a shooter.

Do you only sell flutes
or can you even play one?

There are many people
like me who sell flutes

but I am different.

I should be content
with whatever I earn

so I play these flutes
while I sell them.

Alright, let me see you
play a melodious tune for me.

That's amazing.
Will you hear it or see it?

I'll see you play
and hear your tunes. Go on.

Okay.

Wealth is knocking
at your door..

Sir.. Sir, listen to my advice.

You may consider
it to be truth or a lie.

It can't be a lie
because I am not just saying it.

I am saying it because
of a divine intervention.

You may suspect why I have been
chosen to convey it to you.

I'll tell you why.

Because I, Malinga

am the son of the Almighty,
sir. I am His son.

Son of the Almighty?
The one who resides in heaven?

Of course, sir..

Ours is the land
of various arts.

Nagamangala, Mandya, Mysuru..

If you visit my village
and say that I lied to you.

My family, my extended family
and everyone who knows me

will thrash me and kill me.

Hey, you. We have no time
to listen to you

or give you any alms.
Please leave.

Don't say that, ma'am..

Lady luck is about
to smile on you.

Hey! Stop it..

Lady luck?

Come inside.

Hey! Search the entire house

if you find any money,
I'll share it with you.

Darned guy..
- Don't say that, sir..

Indeed lady luck is about
to smile on you.

If you don't listen to me,
you'll lose a fortune..

Darn this guy..

Hey, you..

No matter how much I pray,
nothing works.

In this scorching sun, while
I am working, why pester me?

Don't annoy us.

Don't say that, sir..

If I dare say a lie,
the Goddess will destroy me.

The Goddess will grant you
a boon, today.

I am here to tell you
to make the most of it.

Will She grant a boon?
- Yes.

Will she shower money on us?

Yes..

You will surely witness
a flood of riches.

You need to make the most of it.

Instead of ignoring it,
believe me, sir.

Okay.

How big a pit should we dig
to safely bury the riches?

Hey.. What's that?

Why talk to him?
- Look at him..

Hey! Didn't I tell you to leave?

Hey! Who's that?

Just leave..
- Yes..

Otherwise I'll pull your tongue
out and feed it to our dog.

Anyway it craves for
meat on Wednesdays.

Well, my tongue is
my source of earning..

Hey..
Shut up and leave!

No matter what you say,
God will grant us only rags.

Yes, dear.. You are in rags.

But it is up to you
whether you create riches

out of them or let
them remain as rags.

Rags that you don't value..

Rags that will
change your destiny.

Hey! How dare you curse us
to live in rags!

Leave while you still can

otherwise I'll set you on fire!
Darn his curse! Get lost!

He is scared.

Sir.

Hey, go..

Who are you? Where are you from?

Please give me some
water to drink.

Come.

Thanks a lot.

You appear to have
come from the city.

You look educated.
What brings you here?

Ma'am, my name is Channakeshava.

I travel to places, write about
the uniqueness that exists there

and publish it.
- Oh..

I am also a cartoonist.

Oh, you make harpoons
for newspaper.

Not harpoons, it's cartoons.
That reminds me..

While I was coming,
I was given this sacrament

at the temple.
Please take it.

It's for you. Keep it.

Never mind, please take it.

One should always share it.

Give it.

Ma'am, please don't mind.
I am very tired.

I am told it'll be night by the
time I reach the next village.

Can I stay here for tonight?

Don't think that I am taking
undue advantage

of your hospitality.

Well..

It's a poor house.

If you walk till the evening,
you'll reach a village

where there are
many millionaires.

They'll provide you
with all the comforts.

You won't find them here.

A morsel to eat, a cup of water
and a roof over head

are all one needs.
This is what I have heard.

The millionaires
may provide luxuries

but I prefer to sleep
under the open sky.

I won't cause you
people any trouble.

I won't cause you any expenses.

Share with me the food you eat.

I'll sleep in the courtyard.

Okay, I got it.

You are scared to provide
shelter to a stranger

as you have an unmarried
daughter at home.

What? What did you say?
Fear?

There is no other house
for miles.

Nobody will come to help us
if anything untoward happens.

People call me
the lonely Muthanna.

I am neither scared
of beasts nor humans.

Nothing scares me.

I am hesitant because
you are a stranger.

Right, Malli?

We don't have enough money
give alms to anyone

but we do have enough food
to share with another person.

Right, Malli?

Hey.. Why do both of you
always ask me?

You may host him.

Or oust him.

Okay, come inside, dear.

Never mind,
I'll stay here in the courtyard.

It's okay, come right in.

The sky is quite visible
from the inside as well.

What's this, sir?
You are making dung cakes.

Only if I do this,
do I get to drink.

Do you drink?
- Oh.. I don't.

I am not referring to alcohol,
I mean to say coffee or tea.

Oh that.. - Yes..
- Yes, I do drink those.

Do you?

Hey, Gowramma..

Tea.. He wants tea.

A while ago, he said he'd
eat anything we offer.

Now he's ordering for a tea.

Not him, but your father is
the one who's ordering it.

Dear..

We have milk.
We don't have tea leaves.

We are poor people. We don't
have sugar, but jaggery.

Come on, Gowramma.

Don't say that in
front of our guest.

He is tired. Give me some money,
I'll get some tea leaves.

What?
I know who's craving for tea.

You have money on you.
Buy tea leaves with it.

I don't want tea.

It's a petty amount.
Here you go.

Well, you are a guest here.

Taking money from you..

Never mind, take it, sir.

Keep it.
- Shall I accompany you?

My cycle won't be able
to take it.

You can't come. Stay here.
I'll be back in a jiffy.

Do you want something else?
- Dad!

With the remaining money,
buy some sweets.

Hey.. Why are you staring at me?

Won't I make tea for you?
I am the one who milks the cows.

Hey, shut up!

I'll put the clothes up for
drying, go milk the cows.

Hey! Don't you dare drink
all the milk.

You'll leave nothing for us.

You are quite a mischief.
Stay here.

Shouldn't I milk the cow?

Hey.. Just because I dragged
your calf away

don't you dare kick me.
Otherwise you'll lose your leg.

I'll break it.

Is your name Malli?
- What?

It's Mallika,
my parents call me Malli.

So should I address you
as 'Malli' or 'Mallika'?

It's your choice.
As of now, let me milk the cow.

Okay, Mallika?

What's this?

What?
- This.

Oh that..
It's used for exercising.

Who exercises here?

My father does,
when he's unable to make out.

What?

For stamina, I mean.

You are from the city. You
may not have seen this stuff.

Darn..

You have no respect.
Hey.. - Coming.

Take this.

Hey..
- Yes.

Some sweets. Get me a spanner.
- Yes..

You never run properly.

Darn..

Come here..

Take the tea.

It's hot.

'Smoking is injurious
to health.'

The tea is great. Thanks.

Thanks to you too.
- Why?

Dad got sweets
in the remaining money.

Really?

Even I like sweets?
- Shall I get it? - No..

The tea will taste bland
if I eat it now.

Quite impressive.

I thought you are
a delicate darling.

But you do work out.

But those who work out
shouldn't drink tea.

What else should we drink?
- You should drink milk.

Tell me if you want some,
I'll get it for you.

I said, I'll get it for you.

Who's that screaming?
- Retard.

Do you have such names here?

We don't but that's
how some people act.

You may have the tea.

Hey, Malli..

Veeranna is here. Come.

You stay here, dear. Come on..

I don't see..

Useless fellow.
What work did you have?

Don't you know that
you have to water one field?

Yesterday, the priest told me

not to leave the
house at that time so..

I knew it.
I knew you would say this.

Why do you believe in this
rubbish when it comes to work?

All I care about is money.

If my crop is ruined,
who will be responsible for it?

Look, I'll tolerate it
to a certain extent.

You know what I'll do later.

I won't regard..
- What are you saying, Veeranna?

You are staking claim
to the land and crop.

We couldn't repay the loan

hence we had to mortgage
our land to you.

We aren't your slaves.
Don't talk rubbish.

Ma'am,
I didn't mean to say that.

If this continues, who
will take care of you?

What about your
daughter's future?

That's why I am advising..
- Yes.. Stop it.

Are you so wise to advise him?

Everyone knows about you.

Well, the loan which he had
availed, has become a problem

for all of you.

It's not like we don't have
a solution for this problem.

You need to be willing
to take my advice.

But he won't listen to me.

Darned cur!

You lick my hand!

A dog should know its place.

Look at its evil face.

Mr. Veeranna, I will send dad
regularly to work from tomorrow.

You seem to be feeling the heat.

It's quite sunny.

Go home and have
some refreshments.

You cur! Drink it up!

Dad!
- Yes.

What are you
tapping at since long?

No work can be done quietly.

I know you can do certain things
quietly. - Hey..

Ma'am.
- Yes. - The tea was good.

Your hospitality and care
enriched the tea's taste.

Just one cup of tea
and you are singing praises.

A motherless child like me

will value any little
affection it gets.

Sir..
- Yes.

I want to ask you.

The one who was shouting..

It appears like he has
tormented you a lot.

May I know the reason for this?

Poverty..

Hold this.

A farmer's life is hard.

There are nine acres
surrounding this house.

They all belong to me.

We were leading a life.

But God had planned
hard times for us.

Can't help.

So we are just
putting up with life.

Illnesses brought in extra
expenses

along with them.

We got buried under debt.

We couldn't repay the interest.

So we had to mortgage
this house and the land

to Veeranna.

A life worse than death..

It goes on.

Leave it.

Now, we are working in
our own fields like slaves.

I wonder when we
will repay the debt

and free ourselves.

These thoughts haunt me.

There seems to be no way out.

You will find a way out.
For sure.

All your problems will end.

When? After I age?

Ma'am. - Yes.
- How much money do you need

to repay your debt?

Why ask that, dear?

Please tell me, ma'am.

A principle amount of Rs. 25,000
and an interest of Rs. 35,000.

Hey! We do have problems.

But we don't need your alms.

I didn't mean that, Mallika.

I am an orphan.

I struggled hard
and earned this money.

You have courage
and are noble at heart.

Money comes and goes.

My money can be
yours in future.

Nothing is impossible.

Belief and perseverance
are important virtues.

You have sheltered a stranger.

This nobility of yours
will repay your rich dividends.

I didn't come to
give this to you.

When an orphan like
me can earn so much

you can earn much more.
I intend to inspire you.

If I have made a mistake,
please forgive me.

No need to apologise, dear.

It is quite evident that you
have struggled hard to earn it.

That's ominous!

Malli!
- Yes.. - Go take a bath.

Even you. Keep this inside
and go take a bath.

Why, ma'am? - If a lizard
falls on you, better bathe.

Hey, go!

"Madhava, the one
who plays soulful tunes."

"Madhava, the one who enchants."

"Madhava, the one
who plays soulful tunes."

"Madhava, the one who enchants."

"Take me in a trance."

"I have been waiting for you."

"I am in the awe of you."

"I am drawn towards you
ceaselessly."

"The divine embodiment
of my endearment."

"I have nobody but you.
You are my only hope."

"Appear before me,
cause no delay."

"My beloved.."

"Madhava, the one
who plays soulful tunes."

"Madhava, the one who enchants."

"This youth of mine seeks you."

"I am lost in your thoughts.."

"My desires are boundless
and overwhelming."

"As a mortal being,
no matter how appealing I am"

"if I don't attain you,
it's all in vain."

"Help me attain fulfilment."

"Help me attain peace."

"The touch of yours
is all I crave for."

"Come, fulfil my desires."

"My life is incomplete
without you."

"Come to me, my beloved."

"Madhava, the one
who plays soulful tunes."

"Madhava, the one who enchants."

"Take me in a trance."

"I have been waiting for you."

"I am in the awe of you."

"The divine embodiment
of my endearment."

"I have nobody but you.
You are my only hope."

"Appear before me,
cause no delay."

"My beloved.."

How long will you take?
You should've been done by now.

Okay, Mom. I am coming.

Your dad and I are going
to the fields.

Okay.. Be back soon.

Make sure that you do
only farming chores.

Shut up! You are too much.

Be careful.

I said, be careful!

I know what you are
trying to imply.

Don't you know me?

Oh.. I know you.
Shouldn't you assure me?

I'll be back.

Had I known that the lizard
would fall on you

I'd have heated water
for you to bathe.

You may not be used
to bathing with cold water.

I am used to it.

One doesn't get hot
water everywhere.

Lakes, rivers, wells..
I bathe wherever I can.

Do you believe such things?

I mean,
the lizard falling and all..

I don't know if such beliefs
are completely true or not.

But they do have a noble
intention behind them.

Moreover your mother
emphasised on it.

You do look tough,
but are soft from within.

So are you.

Although you are a motor-mouth

you do have divine traits.
- Oh, stop lying.

To appear divine, one should
be decked up in jewellery.

And not be as rugged as me.

That's not a problem.
Wear the jewellery that I have.

Oh no!

Well.. I wish to wear them once.

Shall I wear them once
and return them to you?

Is that all?

Oh..
- What happened?

I got pricked by a barbed wire.
It's hurting.

Where?

Hey!

What are you doing!

You are behaving in this
manner in front of a stranger!

Aren't you ashamed?

What have I done?
- You do all this

and act innocent.

I have been observing
ever since I came here

your glances are
quite inappropriate.

You have evil designs.

If an adolescent girl
behaves in this manner, she's..

Hey..
- Is that right?

No..
- I had hurt my leg.

I raised my dress to
show you the wound.

Not to seduce you
by showing my skin.

I asked for the jewellery

and this is how you
treat me for it.

It's true that my
youth is being wasted.

I haven't learnt how to stop it
from being wasted.

I'll never be able to do that.

Mallika.

If my words have hurt you

please forgive me.

Never mind.

It shows that your character
is noble.

The events that occurred
weren't objectionable in nature.

I wish they were.

What?
- Nothing.

Haven't your parents
returned yet?

They will return in some time.

Hey! - Yes.. - Why are you
playing after dark?

Keep it inside, it's ominous!

The omen won't vanish
the moment I keep it in.

Darn! Is this how a girl
should behave?

Will you leave now?

Darned girl!

Listen!

Hey, Channakeshava!
- Yes, ma'am.

Ma'am, did you call me?
- Yes..

I am making
'Ragi Roti' for dinner.

How many will you have?

Rotis?

Okay. - Don't think.
They will be tasty.

I know.
- Okay, I'll make Rotis.

Ma'am..
- Yes.

I told you that I'll eat
whatever you offer.

So now please don't mind
if I ask for something.

I wish to have chicken curry
made by you.

Will you make 'Ragi Mudde'
and chicken curry?

What is it?

Chicken curry?

After seeing a rooster
if you ask for chicken curry

it's not done..
- Sir..

You don't worry.

I'll pay you for
the required ingredients.

Tell me the amount.

Including my expenses,
it comes up to Rs. 50.

Dear..
- Quiet..

Take Rs. 200.

Rs. 200!

Take it.
Buy whatever you want, at once.

Well..
- Give it.

Return it.
- No..

Why are you embarrassing us
by giving us the money?

Oh no! It's not like that.

I felt like having it,
so I was paying for it.

Hey, let it be. He wishes
for it. Make it for him.

I'll get it, dear.
What all do you want?

You'll never obey me.
- Okay, tell me.

Okay.

A chili.. We have coconut.
Get the remaining items.

Okay, get it ready.
- Yes..

I'll get it.
- Hey, Malli! Come here.

Sir..

Yes..

Do you want something else?
- No..

I want to answer nature's call.
I don't know where to go.

There's ample space at the rear.

Go there.
Do carry a lantern along.

The animals won't come close.
Otherwise they may harm you.

Go.. You seem to
be in a hurry. Go..

He's been holding
it in since long.

'The Goddess will grant
you a boon today.'

'You must make
optimum use of it.'

'Instead of crying over it
when it's gone'

'grab it while you still can.'

Why are you wearing a long face?

Did you feel bad because
I asked you to stop playing?

I don't take offense
to the nonsense you say. - Oh..

This arrogance is what I hate.

Are you done with it?
Don't overdo it.

Mom.

Have you ever given anyone
more money than he asked for?

You think I am mad.

Have you?

Then why did he?

I don't think that's
his hard-earned money.

He said that he has earned
and saved it.

I don't think so.

Nobody spends money blindly.

He is enjoying
somebody else's money.

I doubt..

This is not his
hard-earned money.

He has stolen it.

Hey!

If he overhears it..

He has gone towards
the backyard.

No matter how he has earned it.

Why should we care?
- If we do nothing about it

we'll remain where we are.

We'll never progress in life.

So?

His money and jewellery..

What if we get to have it?

How is that possible?

It belongs to his,
only if he is alive.

But if he's dead..

He said that the sacrament
was destined for us.

I say that all his riches

are destined for us.

Slaughter the chicken for curry

while I take care of him.

You have lost it!
- Yes, I have!

I have been overcome by desire.

You have no worries.
Your life is going smoothly.

But no one understands my agony.

If needs are not met
when they should've been

then what's the use of life?

Look.

I can't be more straightforward.
You won't like it.

There is only one way to
solve all our problems.

That is to kill him!

Hey..

If you object to it even now..

Veeranna has an eye on me.

In order to repay your debt,
I'll marry him.

Hey, Malli..

In that case..

You think we should kill him?

Don't you remember what the
soothsayer said this morning?

'It is up to you
whether you create riches'

'out of rags or let
them remain as such.'

Not just that.

Later in the day

a lizard fell on his right hand.

You always say that
it is a good omen

if it happens in
a particular manner.

Lizard falling on the right hand
of a man brings death.

So here we are..

We should kill him.

That's..

That's destined to happen.

Hey, Malli..

I-I am scared.

Gowramma.

I have got 200 gram
of coriander.

Do you know what she's saying?

A bunch of coriander leaves
and curry leaves.

I am saying something.
What are you blabbering?

Cinnamon, cloves, ginger..

Couscous..
- Hey!

She suggests that
we kill the boy.

Let's do it.

The decision has been made.

But it's not easy to execute it.

Why should we let go
of an opportunity?

Even I am fed up of what
Veeranna has been saying.

Dear..

As a father,
I couldn't do anything for you.

I will do anything
for your betterment.

Do what you people have to.

Let me do what I have to.

Cook the food and
serve it to him.

Even you have your meals
and go to sleep.

Before morning..
- Sir.. - Yes..

Are you done talking?

If you keep talking

the chicken curry
will take more time.

No..

I had got all the ingredients.

I was keeping an account..

The remaining cash..

Come on, sir. It was meant
for your expenses as well.

You said you wanted
to buy something.

Haven't you bought it?

Well.. I'll be back.
- Go and be back fast.

The curry is waiting for you.
- Yes..

You get the stuff ready.
- Yes..

Be careful.

I'll be back.

'Alcohol is injurious
to health.'

Ma'am!

What do you think
about slaughtering?

I mean we have planned to
slaughter the chicken..

I want to know
your opinion on it.

You are the one who
told us to do so.

Yes, I did tell you.

But sometimes it feels
bad to kill a creature

only to consume it.

So what? Will you eat what
is being prepared or not?

Hey..
Philosophy just sounds good.

One can't follow it.

If you want to relish the curry

the chicken must die.

Exactly.

It would've been great

if we could make a tasty curry
without killing the chicken.

Somebody must die
to give life to another.

That's how nature works.

A big animal preys
on a small animal.

A bigger animal preys
on the big animal.

Man is also a part
of that chain.

But man cannot eat another man.

So we eat what suits us,
chicken or sheep.

We eat other animals.

If you are feeling so sorry,
don't eat it. Leave it.

Hey.. I won't take
such wrong decisions.

Don't arrive at wrong
conclusions.

I am saying such things as
they may make the dead chicken

feel good before
it adorns our platters.

Will you keep talking
or let us cook?

Hey.. The curry is important.
Sorry..

Mr. Muthanna.

We have a small
dispute amongst us.

My father says that you will
quit drinking from tomorrow.

I disagree with him.
What do you have to say?

Well..

Why should I interfere
in the father-son dispute?

That's not the case,
Mr. Muthanna.

I say, one who drinks in sorrow,
won't drink in joy.

I say that one who drinks will
never care for circumstances.

Look, both of you.

It's okay if you don't
give me to drink.

Who are you to tell me
not to drink?

Who..

Oh..

Now I get it.

You plan to talk
all this rubbish

and make me sober.

So that I start drinking again
and you get more business.

Right?

That won't happen.

That won't happen..

Tonight..

I am going to do
something important.

Important..

I have decided to quit drinking.

I'll quit it..

Raju, one more peg.

Look at that.

Here you go.

Gowramma!

Gowramma!
- Yes!

You have been asked to
come work at Munigowda's farm

tomorrow.

You'll be paid well.

Will you and your daughter come?
- Yes, we will.

At what time?
- Hey..

Hereafter we won't
work on farms.

Oh, no matter what, I thought
you people would come.

What do I do now?

Hey, ask somebody else.

We have no time.

Okay. I'll leave now.

Ma'am, I won't be here tomorrow.

Did you refuse to go just
because you'll have to serve me?

You won't be here and even
we won't have to work.

Hence we need not work tomorrow.

Hey.. That..
That's not the case..

We have work in our own fields.

Hence she refused.

Oh, that's good. I hope I am
not causing any trouble.

You being alive
is a problem for us.

Ma'am, how long will it
take for the dinner to be ready?

Well, some more time.
Please wait.

I can't.

He'll be back, dear.
- I don't think so, Mom.

He has a lot of money on him.
He'll get drunk

and pass out.
He won't come here and help.

What do you suggest now?

Malli!

Oh..

I just remembered..

I knew it..

I told them to just cook food.

But I just can't trust

the women of my family.

Impossible..

Impossible..

Raju!

Ma'am!

I doubt if I'll get to
eat chicken curry today.

Don't overcook it.
Serve it fast.

Y-Yes, dear.

I am making 'Ragi Mudde'.

It looks like you'll feed him, sing
a lullaby and put him to sleep.

What do I do?
Your father said that

he'll handle the rest.

What! My father! Will that
drunkard handle things?

He won't return until
he runs out of money.

What do you want me to do?

Nothing can be done if he is
destined to die by our hands.

We need to do whatever
needs to be done.

No, Malli.

Don't stop me, Mom.

We need to murder him
in order to solve our problems.

I am not stopping you.

I don't want bloodshed here.

Then?

The poisonous plant.

"Feelings give
birth to desire.."

"But desire makes
life miserable.."

"Even virtues"

"turn into vices.."

"Envy in hearts"

"and evil intentions."

"One perishes in
the fire of desire."

"And the dance of
death follows."

"Desire is the rot"

"that ruins humanity
in our hearts."

"Desire that moulds
into evil designs.."

It has a great aroma.

Enough, ma'am.

What's this?

Your hands are dirty.

Well, that's because
I was writing.

Let me go wash my hands.

You..

Be careful, sir. It's dark.
- It's dark everywhere..

Mom, the cops are here.

Oh God!

Channakeshava!

Yes, ma'am..
- Stay here for some time.

I'll call you.

Why, ma'am? What happened?

Somebody is here.

If they see you here

they may ask
unnecessary questions.

You know it..

I got it, ma'am.

I won't cause any
trouble for you.

I'll be here until you call me.

Y-Yes..

Oh..

I am just not able
to relish the chicken.

Greetings, sir.

Greetings..
- What brings you here?

A thief struck
at Mr. Bhadregowda's house.

We have learnt that
he is somewhere around.

We have come searching for him.

Did you see any
suspicious person around?

Gowramma..

I can sense an aroma.

I believe meat
has been prepared.

C-Chicken curry is what
I have prepared.

Come on, let me it.
- Me too, sir.

Shut the dog up.

It won't harm you, sir.
- What if it bites us?

Barking dogs seldom bite.

Sir knows nothing about dogs.
Come on, now.

Come on, ma'am.

Come on..

Oh..

You have already
served it in plates.

Oh.. Not that, sir.

I'll get other plates
for both of you.

Never mind. We are
no strangers.. - No, sir..

It's a leftover.

Malli, get two plates.

Get the utensils in.

Oh..

Hey, Gowramma!
What's the hurry?

I-It slipped from my hand, sir.

Malli, clean it up.

I'll get the curry.

"The night witnesses
a dance of desires"

"and death alike."

"The night is like no other"

"as people's evil designs
are manifested in it."

"The one who falls
prey to desires.."

"Heralds his own peril.."

"Humanity has been held
captive by evil desires."

"Innocence has been entrapped,
nobody knows that."

"What has destiny
brought people to?"

"Such misfortune awaits.."

Gowramma..

I wonder if the chicken
is tastier than the curry

or if it is the
other way round.

But it tastes great.

"You will fall prey to desire."

"You will perish
in this dance of desires."

Hey.. Go away..

Go away..

Hey..

Hey, let it eat.

The leftovers will be
fed to the dog, right?

'Evil designs have
taken over nobility.'

'Now everything is ruined.'

'If innocence dies
and evil wins'

'it indicates that
man has turned into a demon!'

Gowramma, thanks for the meal.

We shall leave now.
- Goodbye.

Sir, let's sleep here
for a while. - Hey, let's go.

What's this?

After having the meal,
it's sleeping like a log.

That's how it is. It sleeps
soon after having its meal.

Saw that?

Had we also slept, we'd
have been compared to a cur.

Come on.

"Darkness has engulfed"

"intellect and sanity."

"Your intellect"

"has fallen prey to greed."

"Your ways are similar"

"to that of others."

"But your intentions"

"are evil beyond measure."

"Who decides who lives"

"and who dies?
Whose end"

"awaits him at which instance?"

Mallika.. What happened?

It's puking. Go on,
mom has served the dinner.

"The night witnesses
a dance of desires"

"and death alike."

"The night is like no other"

"as people's evil designs
are manifested in it."

"The one who falls
prey to desires.."

"Heralds his own peril.."

"Desires have
manifested themselves"

"in their most cruel form."

"The night is like no other"

"as people's evil designs
are manifested in it."

"The onset of this night"

"has started a mayhem
of envy and desires."

Hey.. What are you doing, dear?

Ma'am..

I should have touched your feet
the moment I came here.

You didn't poison his food,
did you?

You valued a stranger's life more
than your daughter's future.

You won't mind if I sell
my body to repay your debt.

Malli..

Why do you say that
and hurt me?

I got sacred after
I saw the dog die.

So..

That's why I didn't serve him

the poisoned curry.

You won't..

You won't feel like doing it.

For being born as your daughter

I must kill myself.

Hey..

Don't worry.
I won't kill myself.

I'll do what I have decided to.

Hey..

Hey! This is used to slaughter.

We slaughter chicken using it.

Hey..

Either he dies

or I die.

It sounded like
Ms. Gowramma's scream.

Kannappa..

What brings you here
at this time?

I was heading home.

I heard your scream
so I came to enquire.

Scream?

Not at all.
- It sounded like your scream.

Me? Not at all.

Fine. Perhaps
it was my misconception.

I'll leave. Be careful. - Yes.

It's dark. Even you be careful.

For me day and night are alike.

One who knows not
where he is going, is blind.

I'll leave now. - Okay..

Ma'am.. I think you have guests.

Guests.. Nobody visits us.

Why are you lying to me?

Don't you get it when told once?
Just leave.

I'll leave, Malli.
Why get angry over it?

Well.. Where is Muthanna?

Don't you know where he will be?
Just leave.

I'll leave now..

One more, Raju..
One more peg..

Sir.. It's enough for today.

My master and his son
are playing this trick

because you won't come
here from tomorrow.

Will you drink to your death
tonight itself? - Shut up..

Even you talk like that..

I'll drink tonight, tomorrow
and again on the day after..

I'll offer drinks even to you.

I have the money.
- It's not about the money.

I'll tell you something.
After listening to it

forget offering me a drink,
you'll rush home.

Hey, say what it is.

Say it.

The one who has visited you..

What..
- The one who has visited you..

Do you know who he is?

How do you know the fact
that he has visited us?

"Life is a carriage.."

"Life is a carriage,
destiny is its master."

"You are the steed"

"that pulls it."

"The Almighty decides who
boards it. Joy and grief.."

"Are the places you run to."

"If your legs fail, you have
the ground to support you."

"If your legs fail, you have
the ground to support you."

"The game of destiny..
Cruel games of destiny.."

"Perish in this
game of destiny."

"Life is a game..
Evil are these games.."

"The human life is
polluted by envy."

"Every tree blossoms
in a season.."

"And withers away in another.."

"Every tree blossoms
in a season.."

"And withers away in another.."

"And withers away in another.."

"And withers away in another.."

Hey..

Gowramma..

Where is he?

Subbu..

Oh..

Subbu..

Oh..

He.. He's my Subbu.

Subbu..

'I have come here
after many years.'

'You can't recognise me.'

'I am Muthanna's son.
Subbu.'

'Muthanna's son..'

'You had run away from here
when you were a kid.'

'Are you the one?'

'Yes, that's me.'

'After you left,
your mother wept ceaselessly.'

'Your father became a drunkard.'

'Your sister is
still unmarried.'

'Forget all that.
Now that you are back'

'everything will be alright.'

'I will set it right.
That's why I have come here.'

'I left home over
a petty issue.'

'I'll show it to my parents'

'that I didn't
leave home in vain.'

'Sir.. Unless I tell them'

'don't tell my family about me.'

'You seem to have
planned it out.'

Subbu..

Subbu..

Subbu..

Subbu..

Subbu.

'The money that is mine,
can be yours in future.'

'Those who work out,
should not drink tea.'

'They should drink milk.'

Subbu..

Our Subbu..

Subbu..

Hey..

Subbu..

Get up..

Malli..

Look, this is you.

Look at my Subbu.

Our Subbu..

Our Subbu..

'Mom, he has cut my hair..'

'What's that..'

'Oh my! Darned fellow!'

'You've cut the girl's hair!'

'What's wrong with you?'

'Why did you do that? Why?'

'Are you laughing? Darn you!'

'Are you still laughing
after all the spanking?'

'You should be thrashed.'

'I'm coming.
Where are you running to?'

'Where is he?'

'Hey, rascal! Will I spare you
if you run away?'

'Stop!
Where are you running to?'

'Hey.. Subbu..'

'Go. Go away.'

'I'll kill you if
you come back.'

Don't touch him!

Don't touch him!

We don't deserve to touch him.

Hey..

He..
- I..

I..

I made the mistake.

I was the one..

I killed him.

I killed him..

Hey..

It's my mistake.

Yes.. It's me..
I made a mistake.

I made a mistake by
giving birth to him.

He..

Even I..

Subbu..

You.. I..

I killed him.

I shouldn't..

Subbu..

Look at this.
Subbu..

Subbu.. Look..

"Trust and faith.."

"Do not exist anymore."

"Trust and faith.."

"Are all that matter
in this world."

"Your existence
revolves around these.."

"Your peril is brought
by the absence of these."

"Your existence
revolves around these.."

"The betterment of humanity
rests on them.."

"The betterment of every
individual rests on them.."

"The betterment of every
individual rests on them.."

"This life takes pleasant
and unpleasant forms.."

"It is a maze of desires.."

"Ambitions and evil desires.."

"We are surrounded
by all of these.."

"Our existence
is marred by desires.."

"Virtues are blurred.."

"Our existence
is marred by desires.."

"This is the bitter truth.."

"This is what life is about.."

"This is what life is about.."

"Mankutimma.."

"Mankutimma.."

"Mankutimma.."

"Mankutimma.."

"Mankutimma.."

"Mankutimma.."

"This is what life is about.."

"Mankutimma.."

'It's a memorable
day in my life.'

'Whatever I had lost
in these 15 years'

'I regained it in a day
and I am very happy about it.'

'I felt like telling my parents
that I am their son.'

'But they have suffered a lot
because of me.'

'So let me benefit them
in some way'

'and reveal my
identity to them.'

'Had I apologised for
my mistake back then'

'I need not have stayed away
from my mother for so long.'

'Even father wouldn't
have become a drunkard.'

'My sister doesn't know
that I am her brother'

'and she is struggling
hard in life.'

'God, You have given me
the strength to earn'

'enough money to solve
my family's problems.'

'Similarly,
until I reveal my identity'

'may no evil thoughts cross'

'my sister's mind.'

'Tomorrow I'll repay
Veeranna's money'

'and reveal my identity
to my parents'

'only after seeking
their blessings.'
