All language subtitles for Sundaram Master (2024)_track3_[eng]

The GPS is pointing this way.

But there's no path here.

Let me show the letter.

That's it? Should I come?

My shoes will be ruined.

The Principal shares everything with me.

I don't like the fact that he didn't
consult me before sending Sundar there.

I'll mention this in the upcoming meeting.

There is so many of us.

I don't get why Sundar got picked.

Don't you know why?
Our Principal already told me.

It's strange how the Principal
tells you everything personally.

That tribe has a liking
for dark skinned people.

The Forensic Department analyzed
their letter and came to this conclusion.

He looks the darkest out of everyone here.

That is why he got picked.

Stop it already with your jokes!

Hey, I'm serious!

Hey, you! Come here.

[hooting] Habiba!
-[all] Habiba!

AbhiBus?

-He's so handsome.
-Yeah. So cute.

-Girls, step back now!

Are you going to eat him up?

Your name, sir?

Sundar Rao. (Beautiful)

What a perfect name!

Let's ward off the evil eye.

There must've been many prying eyes on him.

I got them, Master.

I'll get my bags. It's okay.

This way.

Hi...

No?

Hey, tabla!

Is this a bed?

Oh, it's just grass.

Om Sai Ram.

'To the respected MLA and his PA...'

'I've just had a royal
entrance into the village.'

'You've sent the right person for the job.'

'The room and their
respect for me are top tier.

'Ladies are going gaga over me.'

'I'll tolerate whatever they
throw at me and return victorious.'

'I don't need 6 months for
the job you've given me.'

'I'll get you all the
information within 3 days.'

'Ask your person to be ready.'

'Note...'

'You should give me the Corporator seat once
I convince them to join our Constituency.'

'I'm sure I'll win with a super majority.'

'That's how crazy my following is here.'

'Yours sincerely, Sundar
Rao, Social Studies.'

Future DEO.

They'll be here any minute.
Is the prospective bride ready?

Let me dress you up. The prospective
groom's family will be here soon.

We need to hurry. This
necklace would look good on you.

-[kid speaking gibberish]
-We can't miss the ring your aunt gifted you.

Keep it on, my baby! Please!

Sister, they'll be here any moment now.

-I'm coming. Go and
tell your aunt the same.

Aunty!

I asked your sister-in-law if I could
borrow her necklace at Sudha's wedding.

She lied to me that the chain broke.

Why does she act so petty?

Why did you ask her anyway?
You should've borrowed mine.

I wore your jewelry for the engagement.
So I thought I'd ask her.

-Aunty, they're here.
-What? So soon?

Did you arrange the sweets on the table?

Yeah, I did, aunty.

-I'll be there.
-Okay.

Oh, no! Lakshmi, come here.

-Let me get these for you.

One moment.

-Hurry up.
-Okay.

Please have the snacks. Don't feel shy.

Feel at home.

Sister, he isn't handsome.

Tell them you don't like him.

Offer some sweets to her as well.

She must be hungry.

She is fasting today.

Third Mondays are auspicious for us.

Well, she reminds me of her mother-in-law.

Take a look at him.

He got a teacher position at a
Government school in S Kota recently.

He has gone to college in the city.

So he plans to apply for a
transfer to the city within 2 years.

We gave around 4 lakhs in
dowry for our elder daughter.

We can offer up to 8 lakhs for her now.

We'll be giving a lot more in the
form of gold, gifts, etc. as you know.

Let's save that discussion for later.

Would you like to have anything else?

I want a motorcycle.

Sure, let's get you one.

Not just any motorcycle.
I want a Royal Enfield.

Of course. You can come to the
showroom and pick the one you like.

-Hello.
-How much did they quote?

8 lakhs. How is it looking over there?

They're saying 12 lakhs.

Really?!

Just a minute.

-So, how do we proceed?

I can't apply for another leave at work.

Tell them we'll schedule the
alliance on the coming Sunday.

You mentioned about the motorcycle
other than the 12 lakhs, right?

-Of course, I did.

How many prospective brides will you meet?

Don't look for money. It will come and go.

But your wife will
spend a lifetime with you.

Listen to me. Don't get
married for the dowry.

Get married to find a life partner.

She's the girl we'll be
meeting this Sunday.

She'll get married only if the
husband agrees to her making reels.

Everyone has their set of requirements.

There's nothing wrong in having mine.

Moreover, we need to command when we
still have demand. It's a one-time thing.

Firstly, you stop quoting me things
you read on the back of auto rickshaws.

-But, listen...
-You said you'd make sesame flour curry, right?

Hmm. I'll be on it.

Damn! Is the PT sir selling all
the cricket kits and buying bikes?

Sir, how could you be late today?
The MLA is here.

Is it Inspection Day?

I don't know, sir. Everyone
is in the ground. Hurry!

-Where's the Principal?
-He's over there too.

-Shit! Park my bike.
-Okay, sir.

Did he come for a surprise inspection?

-I don't know, man. I have no clue.
-Oh.

-He is Mr. Satya Narayana. Telugu teacher.
-Hello, sir.

-He is Mr. Murthy.
-Sir knows me.

I even sang on Independence Day last year.

-He is Mr. Damodar. English teacher.
-Hello, sir.

He is Mr. Kumar. Science teacher.

He's been with us for a year now.

-He is Mr. Sundar Rao. Social teacher.
-Hello, sir.

He got recruited in March.

-He is our PT sir.

-He got our school a trophy in Kabaddi.

Do you know what this is?

Looks like a parceled plain dosa.

-Huh?
-I don't know, sir.

-Do you know the village Miriyalametta?
-I don't know, sir.

-Miriyalametta.

-Situated 90 kilometers away from Paderu,

it's a remote village
surrounded by dense forest...

...and mountains on three sides.

-According to our estimate,
the population is really low.

This village has a specialty.

In the past 90 years,
nobody has left the village.

Nobody was able to
enter the village either.

Why, sir? Are the roads that bad?

Because they didn't allow anybody in.

During times of natural disasters,

when the Government
would try to rescue them,

they'd shoot arrows and chase them away.

That's not it.

15 years back, the Government
passed a GO saying not to disturb them.

So, no communication at all.

Except for the photographs our
Government officials took from a distance,

we don't have any
information on that village.

-That's the matter. Do you get it?
-Yes, sir.

You want me to tell this story
in my Social Studies class, right?

They wrote a letter requesting
for an English teacher after ages.

-Oh.
-This is that letter.

This is a letter?!

What did you think? That
it's a parceled plain dosa?

I want to send you to that
village as the English teacher.

That is why I summoned you.

Me?

Sir! I think you're getting confused.

Damodar Rao is the English teacher.
I'm Sundar Rao. Social Studies.

Why didn't you tell him?
Why are you tight-lipped?

-I'll go send him in.
-Stop! Stop!

-We're not confused.
-Huh?

They haven't received
education in over 90 years.

Do you know the English alphabets?

Yes, sir. You want me to recite? A...

Teach them.

-That'd be enough for them.
-Okay.

You have to leave in 7 days.

-Say goodbye to your family.
-Sir!

-You will be gone for a while, man.
-Okay. Okay.

-I'll take your leave, sir.
-Just a minute.

Since you're going anyways,

I want you to talk to them...

...and make them join our Constituency.

If I pull off something no
Government could ever do,

I'll get a lot of accords as an MLA.

If I get a good reputation,
it is actually beneficial for you.

You didn't get it, did you?

If new roads are laid in your Constituency,

it is beneficial for you, right?

Similarly, if I get a good reputation,
you'll also be benefited from it.

-Yes, sir.
-Now get going.

-I'll see you, sir.
-Take the letter.

Go after him.

What's on your mind?

-Did you get what sir said?
-Yes, sir.

Explain.

I should go to the forest and convince
the tribe to join our Constituency, right?

So you didn't understand anything.

Let me explain over a cup of tea.

Like I said, the tribe doesn't
simply prohibit outsiders.

Then?

We have information that there's
something really valuable in that village.

The tribe fears that this
secret will be exposed.

Hence, the resistance.

But you have the golden
chance to visit that village.

All you have to do is go there, find out
what's the most valuable thing there...

...and report back to us.

You'll be the DEO within 6 months.

DEO?!

I got it, sir.

I got a clear picture now.

I was wondering why I'm
the chosen one for this project.

But I get it now.

You've inquired about me and my caliber.

That is why you picked me.

Sir, let me tell you something.

I'm the man for this job.

In fact, I'm the only man for this job.

These things come to me effortlessly.

Please go and get my reporting order ready.

Don't get too excited.

Our boss isn't as nice as he seems.

You'll lose your job if
something goes wrong.

There's no way, sir!

Consider the job done.

You'll have the village's blueprint
on the 3rd day that I get there.

By the way, you said there's
no channel of communication.

How do I pass on the information to you?

We'll make those arrangements.

I cracked it yet again, sir.

You'll activate the signals via satellite,

and while I send signals
from within the village,

you'll sit in a room and
decode all my messages.

You'll monitor the whole mission through
helicopters flying above the village.

I've watched many spy thrillers
in Jagadamba Theatre, sir.

I know how these missions work.

Not so fancy! This is
an unofficial operation.

We'll set up a postbox at a
kilometer distance from the village.

Post whatever information
you have without them noticing.

One of our men will
check the postbox daily.

You'll get a reply within 24 hours.

Oh!

That's better anyways. And safe.

Tell your man not to wander here and there.

I'll be sending letters on loop.

-It's going to be so much information.
-Okay.

Be ready to leave in a week.

Remember, this is unofficial.

You have only 6 months.

Stay in touch.

Hello, broker!

There's a DEO friend of mine.
What would be his rate in the market?

-Whoa! DEOs get a good amount of dowry.
-Is it?

-Who is it?
-It's me.

-Further down?
-Yeah.

Is that okay?

-Hold on. Let me smile like a DEO.
-Woah! Seriously?

Uncle, two cigarettes, please.

Hey, kids!

You're from class 10 D, right?
What are you doing here?

Are you buying cigarettes?

Sir, please don't tell on us.

Tell your fathers to come see me.

-Sir, please don't tell anyone.
-Okay. Okay. Stop crying.

Pay for this cigarette.

They'll clear my old dues as well.

Go home, kids.

Are you listening?

Everyone is buying a Royal Enfield.
I wonder when I'll buy mine.

Hey! Looks like you've shopped quite a bit.
Are you going on a work trip?

I got a DEO posting, uncle.
I'm leaving for 6 months of training.

-Wow! DEO posting, huh?
-Of course.

Hey, take a look at this.

Some guy went to Andaman to deliver a book.

They shot him dead with arrows.

Are you sure about being a teacher there?

-I'm concerned for you.
-Don't worry. I'll manage.

That Andaman guy must've thought the same.

He doesn't get it.

Carry on.

Where have you been? Were you on a holiday?

My uncle passed away, sir.

It's okay. He's doing fine now, right?

Tell him I said hi.

Operation Miriyalametta.

Number 1.

Impress!

They wouldn't be
impressed by the city attire.

They expect something sparkly.

Number 2. Gifts.

Things that would attract them.

How much?

You're going to spend 2,600 rupees?!

It's not expenditure.
It's my investment for the future.

Number 3. Money.

I mean, cash.

There's nobody in the world
who wouldn't fall for money.

Are you listening?

Here?

Which way?

That way?

Good morning, Mr. Sundar Rao.

Pardon me, Mr. DEO.

Good morning, childrens!

All of Manthena
Satyanarayana's platter is here.

If they're treating a
school teacher so well,

imagine when I become the DEO.

How come they're up and ready so early?

They must be waking up at 3 in the morning.
Ain't like they have anything to do.

Where's the classroom?

That looks like Mr. Brahmanandam.

I guess Meme God has fans in Miriyalametta.

Why is the whole village here?

I guess it's the first-time excitement.

Student?

Oh.

Parent?

Student?

Grandparent?

Student?

Listen up, students!

English is the most spoken
language in the world.

But in our country, only
a few people speak it.

In America, even a beggar begs in English.

But in India, some of the topmost
officers can't speak in English.

I guess their sense of humor is low.

Well, anyways, to teach you
the language in the simplest way,

our Government has sent me here.

One minute.

Wondering what these are?
These are the same twigs you see every day.

I'm going to teach you English using these.

Firstly, take a twig and bend it slightly.

Bend another twig from the other end.

Place a small twig in the
center and that forms an 'A'.

Place two twigs one below the other,

place two crescent
moons in the same manner,

join everything and you get 'B'.

Are you listening? This is 'B'.

Take a crescent moon and flip it.

You get 'C'.

Okay?

What are you trying to explain?

-What did you say?
-What are you trying to explain?

Oh, god! Grandpa is
speaking English so quickly.

I better change the topic.

That's enough alphabets for today, guys.

You look like you know a lot of stuff.

Let's move on to words and spellings.

A-P-P-L-E is Apple.

B-A-L-L is Ball.

C-A-M-E-L is Camel.

D-O-N-K-E-Y is Donkey.

Oh, no! Why are they
looking at me so seriously?

Did they think that I called them donkeys?

I didn't call you all donkeys.

Why are they heating that?

Go away!

Go away!

What's happening here?

Grandpa, this guy doesn't know English.

I think he's a traitor.

Hey! Spell 'Donkey'.

-D-O-N-K-E-Y.
-Hey! There you go again!

-You're so done for!
-Hold on!

Check him.

Hey! Be careful with the bag.

-The card says 'Teacher'.
-Hmm.

I swear I'm a teacher, sir.

Please let me go.
I'll go back to my city.

[all] Don't let him go!

People!

We cannot punish him
without knowing the truth.

He claims to be a teacher, right?

Let's give him 15 days to prove himself.

Let's test him on Day 16.

If he passes, he's our teacher.

What if he fails?

We'll give him to the tree.

[all] We'll give him to the tree!

What do you mean give me to the tree?

What are you saying, you psycho people!

Tell me what it means
to give me to the tree.

What do they mean by giving me to the tree?

What kind of a village is this!

I shouldn't have come here.

It's like getting a credit card, only
to invite problems into your life.

Lose your weight.

All your problems will
vanish by themselves.

Like the water drop that glides on a leaf.

What does a leaf got to do with my weight?

Trippy mornings, huh?

I guess your kind of people are everywhere.

Hey!

Come.

Come with us!

Get in!

Stay here!

Hey! Hey! Don't shut the door!

Hey! Somebody open the door!

Hey! Hello! Oh, no!

Their treatment has
changed within a day.

My body is sore as hell.

How can they bash me up like I'm a nobody?

I'll teach them a lesson.

'To the respected MLA...'

'Sir, judging by their treatment on
Day 1, I thought they were good people.'

'But turns out they're not.'

'They beat me black and blue because
I spelled donkey as D-O-N-K-E-Y.'

'Raising your hand on a Government
employee is like insulting the Government.'

'We shouldn't take this lightly, sir.'

'We should summon the army
that would shake the place up.'

'Please talk to Mr. Modi...

...and rush here with the recently
purchased M16s from Russia.'

'Let's turn the village upside down.'

'They don't have much weaponry
except for a few shovels and arrows.'

'There's a Village Head though.'

'Aim a gun at point blank
and he'll spit everything out.'

'We can take what we want.'

'Let's show them what we're made of.'

'Note...'

'Tell our guys to bring a Betadin
ointment for my bruises and a full bottle.'

'Don't mind. There are no
wine shops or pharmacies here.

Master...

-Who is it?
-Master...

It's me, Master. Ojha.

What are you plotting now?

Don't be afraid. I came here to help you.

I don't need your help.

I can deal with my own shit.

Trust me, Master.

I even brought a fix for you.

A fix?!

I guess it's local liquor.

It's okay. Body pains don't know brands.

That's the medicine
for your bruises, Master.

Isn't it liquor?

I don't want it then.

Oh, no!

I'm extremely sorry on behalf of all
the villagers for treating you like this.

First you beat the shit out of me
and now you've come to apologize?

What's happening here?
At least you give me some clarity.

Considering what I heard from my ancestors,

it's a pretty long story from last century.

I beg you!

Your fluent English is
giving me a panic attack.

Whatever it is, say it in Telugu and fast.

According to my ancestors,

When Britishers were
travelling in the forest in 1920,

they stopped in our village for a halt.

Our villagers treated them as guests...

and offered them the best hospitality.

When the Britishers explored
our village, they discovered...

Pepper.

Apparently, pepper is
highly valuable to them.

Since it's abundant in
our geographical area,

they started enslaving and
torturing our villagers to procure it.

They would shoot anyone
that would disregard them.

Nobody could tell why
they were being tortured.

After 10 years of slavery,

an Indian traveller stopped by our village.

He noticed the turmoil our
villagers were going through.

He told the Britishers, 'The villagers
make no use of the pepper, to be honest.'

'Why do you want to trouble
yourselves in this remote village?'

'I'll talk to them and send you the
shipment once the crop is ready.'

'The Freedom Movement is on the rise.
They might need you.'

Britishers got convinced by
his words and left our village.

The traveller shed light on how the
communication gap gave us agony.

When words fail, that
is when you go to war.

English is a world language.

In a few years, half of India
would be conversing in English.

He told us we could communicate
with anyone if we learned English.

That's how he taught English to all of us.

We wanted to learn English
from his descendants.

So we got him married to
two women in our village.

Ever since he became the King,
only outsiders intruded our land.

They came in the disguise of
businessmen, merchants, etc.

Our King believed that others
may need our village treasures.

But we don't need them.

Thus, he got the entry to the village shut.

Nobody was allowed to enter our village ever since.

That's all okay.

But why did you summon me here?

I don't know what our King was thinking.

But he taught everyone how
to speak English fluently...

...and ignored to teach us how to write.

Damn it!

There's no literature whatsoever.

After his passing, his son
tried to teach us spellings.

But strangely, he gave up midway.

All the villagers memorized
those spellings wrongly.

But they still believe they're right.

Why don't you take me to him?
He'll understand what I'm going through.

It's been 15 days since his passing.

After he died, we were concerned that
we don't have anybody to teach us English.

That's when we wrote to the
Government and you showed up.

Holy shit!

I'm in trouble.

So this upcoming test doesn't
have a syllabus or a question paper.

Don't panic. We have 15 days.

I know all the spellings that
the villagers have learned.

I'll visit you every night and tutor you.

You know something?

It takes 10 years to pass 10th grade.

You think you can teach me
Miriyalametta English in 15 days?

You make it sound so easy.

All that aside,

What will the villagers
do in case I fail the exam?

They'll give you to the tree, Master.

What does that exactly mean?

You know how we chop
off trees for our necessities?

Yeah.

Similarly, if we give any
unnecessary souls to the tree,

the tree forgives us is
what the people here believe.

That's a good concept.
So you're all nature lovers, huh?

What do you do after
giving the soul to the tree?

We hang them to the tree, Master.

-So you'll hang me if I fail the exam?
-Hmm.

Is it the tree that looks like
a ghost with its hair down?

Yes, Master.

There's no post today either.

Good morning, Mr. DEO.

You served fruits and veggies yesterday.

What's up with this weapons platter?

You will get food only if you work.

-What?!
-Oh, you don't speak English, right?

I do speak English. But
could you please repeat?

One must earn their food in our village.

You're not our Master anymore.

So, you must go into the forest and work.

Move!

Why do I get so many
when they get so little?

Because you're strong.
Can't you lift these?

-You have muscle. You can do it.
-Muscle?!

These idiots don't know the
difference between fat and muscle.

So, what do I have to do now?

What are you waiting for?

-Come inside!
-Okay. Okay.

Let me clear the exam.

I'll dump shit loads of
homework on you guys.

I'll spare you, don't worry.

Stop!

Don't get too excited about our
first day and teach me loads of stuff.

Teach me simple stuff.

-Teach me!
-F-U-C-K.

Luck.

-Luck?!
-Luck!

It's called 'Adhrushtam' in Telugu.

You could really use some of it right now.

Until now, there's been no hope.

After coming here, I doubt
if things will get any better.

Miriyalametta English is
draining the life out of me.

When you say 'Your mother',
you're simply addressing someone.

But when you say 'Nee Yamma'
in Telugu, it becomes a cuss word.

Language is such a tricky thing.

Oh, shit! He's here!

-Hey! Who is that?
-Nobody! Nobody!

-What's going on?
-Move! Move!

He looks like a timid guy.
What did he do?

I want him and him only, Peddayya.

I also want him only.

I called dibs first.

I've been calling dibs since forever.

Looking handsome is his crime.

Lucky guy!

D-E-N-G...

Danger!

What's the spelling of Donkey?

Grandpa, you got a matchbox?

-Grandpa, you got a matchbox?
-Fu*k off, you a**hole!

Oh, no! It's the English-speaking grandpa.

Repeat that stupid spelling
you told me a while back.

N-O-L-E-J. Knowledge.

Hats off to your knowledge! Go.

Don't stay out for too long.

If you get drenched...

Why does she look different
from everyone else here?

-Be careful, everyone.

It's not her fault that
she's fair skinned. Poor girl!

Karba...

Sirapa asked you and I to guard the gate.

I'll join you later.

Hey! What kind of a name is Karba?

-It means Gadidha (donkey).
-Can I call him Gadidha then?

Sure.

Hey, Gadidha! What's up!

Hey, Gadidha! Did you eat?

Carry on, Gadidha.

-What's your name?
-Gunapam (Crowbar).

Only you have the perfect name.

Go play.

It's coming in the way, Master.
Throw it off.

Gold is never bothersome. You continue.

Gold?!

What's the use of that?

What are the uses of gold, you dumb shit?

Master, get back to work.

Do it properly.

Hey!

Focus!

What a useless guy!

This should be done before evening.

Otherwise, you'll be done for!

-Get it done.
-Okay. Okay.

The people in this village have no heart.

H-A-R-T. Heart.

You don't have a brain either.

B-U-R-D. Bird.

B-A-A-C. Back.

B-A-A-C. Back.

J-O-O-S-E. Juice.

L-A-N-D-A-N. London.

L-A-N-D-A-N. London.

-L-A-F-F. Laugh.
-Master...

-K-A-T. Cat.
-Master...

F-A-R-M-A-R. Farmer.

Listen...

Where's the master?

It's been a week.

He hasn't written a single letter.

He made so many promises before going.

I need an update.

Huh?

-Master...
-Yes?

You have your exam today.

Sit at the temple for sometime.
You'll feel better.

-There's a temple here? Where is it?
-Yeah, it's on the hill.

-Is it on the top?
-Yeah, at the peak.

Then I don't believe in this stuff.

I'm a self made man.

Get out of here.

-L-A-N-D-A-N, London.
-Don't worry, Master.

I know what each one knows
and what spellings they'll ask.

She's Malli. All she knows is...

Kill.

K-I-L-L.

She'll release the arrow at
you if you don't chuck one 'L'.

The answer she knows is...

K-I-L.

This guy is Sirapa.

He believes in...

Peace.

P-E-E-S. Peace.

Her name is Saddi.

You know what she loves, right?

Got it.

Black.

-B-L-A-C-K.
-Why the extra 'C', Master?

B-L-A-K.

His name is Konda.

The question he'll ask is...

Arrow.

Don't worry, Master. Even he
doesn't know the answer to that.

You can tell anything.

A-R-R-O-W.

Hey!

Spell 'Donkey'.

D-O-N...

How do you spell donkey?

D-O-N...

-K-I.

You did so good in the exam.

How come you taught us
wrong spellings on Day 1?

Oh, yeah! A coconut fell on
my head while coming here.

I forgot everything.

Your hospitality in these 15
days has jogged my memory.

-Bring Master's luggage.
-Move it. Move it.

-Here it is.
-Have some coconut water, Master.

Listen, let me tell you all
something loud and clear.

I don't want any fuss or security.

Give me a few veggies and a
blanket for teaching you. That's enough.

Master, we apologize for
troubling you in these 15 days.

On behalf of the whole village,
we're extremely sorry, Master.

Master, watch what we'll do from now on.

[all hooting] Habiba!

This is exactly the kind of
special treatment I don't want.

But, Master...

If you have respect for me at
all, treat me as one of you guys.

Now please leave me alone.
Go away from here.

-Master...
-I said please leave!

But...

So, how do you think that went?

I've given way too many exams
to not become your Master.

You made this Master take an
exam, huh? I'll remember this.

What's in this bag, Master?

-It's making noises.
-Give me that!

Go away.

I have some urgent work.
I'll see you later. Now leave.

What's up, Malli!

-I'm grinding soap nuts, Master.
-Continue.

-Is it for me?
-Yeah!

Hey!

Don't take the trouble.
I'll throw these away.

Don't act like a dumb servant.

If you like something,
take it. But only one.

What about this?

This?

It's an emergency!

-Come on! Hurry up!
-Take the pumpkins inside!

-Hurry up, man!
-Take the pumpkins inside!

-Come on, everyone! Hurry!

-Let's go! Let's go!
-Go home!

Shift all the things inside.

Keep the paddy on the sun roof.

Hey! Hey! Miriyalametta Mahesh Babu!

-Why is everyone running?
-Rain is coming, Master.

The sky is empty just like your brains.
Who said the rain is coming?

Not now. Tomorrow morning.
Hence the organizing.

Hey! How do you know that it's
going to rain tomorrow morning?

Myna told us.

-How does Myna know?
-I have no idea. But she's always right.

There she is. Go and ask her.

-Hello, Master. Shall I go?
-Go. Go.

Oye!

Are you Myna?

Did you tell everyone that
it's going to rain tomorrow?

-Yeah.
-How do you know?

Are you an English teacher?

Hang on. Did she find out?
I don't think so.

Yeah, why?

Just like English is your language,

the air and the sky also have a language.

And I understand that.

Is this some new technique to loot money?

How much money did
you take from the villagers?

Yeah, right. Walk away.
Now that I've caught your lies.

You know, it's a sin to
cheat these innocent people.

I'll prove to everyone that
all your stories are fabricated.

Put a moustache on 'O' and that's 'Q'.

Don't get confused. Are you listening?

I'm trying to teach here. Why are
you looking at the sky? Look at me!

We have a classroom, right?

Then, why are we doing this outside?

Well, this universe is like a big school.

If you sit in closed rooms, your
brains will also remain closed off.

Here we have air, light
and the aroma of the Earth.

-Rain!

It looks like it's going to rain.

If it rains, the entire class
will be drenched, Master.

Hey, you crazy people!

Do you also believe in these predictions?

Who do you think I am?

I'm a Social Studies expert.

Sorry.

I'm a Social Studies expert also.

Predicting the weather is easy-peasy for me.

Do you know how it feels when it rains?

There's humidity in the air.

There's a fragrance in the soil.

There's a silence in nature.

As each drop falls,

a disturbance is felt.

Hey, it's raining! Let's go!

This is the first rain, Master.

All the dust and dirt
in the air will rain down.

You'll fall sick if you get drenched.

What's the matter, Master?

Are you alright?

Don't project the anger on rain on to me.

I'm not angry.

Just because your prediction came
true once, don't feel like a scientist.

I may not be a scientist.

But if you look with your
heart, you can see it too.

-Just try it out.
-I don't have to.

You're so shaken by a small rain.

There are places out there
where it rains every day.

-Really?!
-Yeah!

-Do people live there?
-Of course, they do.

And it's not just rain.

There are places where
it snows half the year.

By now, I don't mean the fog
that you see near the mountains.

I mean snowfall. We get snow pellets.

-Then...
-People live there too.

Oh, my! You know a lot of things, Master.

Unlike you guys, I don't live in this small
forest and assume this is the real world.

I'm a nature lover.

I beg your pardon. We too have
a lot of prestigious things here.

Oh, yeah? What are they?

Why should I tell you?

For general knowledge.

I'm not telling you.

We both have nothing to do now. Tell me.

I'll tell you only when I feel like.

Please tell me. Please.

Look. The rain has stopped.

I have a great deal of things to do.
I'll see you later.

Good morning, Mr. DEO.

Being the Village Head, why
is he behaving so cheaply?

Why are you doing the cleaning?

I only do it every day, Master.

Really?!

Why do I care anyway?
Let me get the job done and leave.

-Good morning, Master.
-Well, good morning.

Good morning, Master.

Good morning.

-What are you doing?
-This is a weird thing to do.

If you do this, you'll have a good
bowel movement without any breaks.

Oh. Small doubt, Master.

Save your doubts for the class room.
This is my personal time.

This isn't regarding English.
This is a personal doubt.

Is it? Okay, you may ask.

Are the protests and revolutions still on?

-Those are all common now.
-Really?

They burned 3 buses recently
due to a hike in petrol prices.

I don't get the logic though.

Are they still imprisoning our leaders?

Again, it's common for
them to go in and out of jail.

As I come from the Administrative field, I
don't have much knowledge about politics.

You're right. Gandhi is
leading from the front anyway.

We have nothing to worry about.

Gandhi is leading from the front?!

Which revolution are you talking about?

Our Freedom Movement that was
initiated to chase away the British.

Miriyalametta sarcasm, huh?
I know what to do.

How old do you think Gandhi is right now?

According to what our King
told us, he was young back then.

So he must be a 60-70
year old middle aged man.

60-70 year old middle aged man?
I don't think he's that old.

We should chase the
British back to England.

Our flag should fly high in Delhi.

Until then, Gandhi shall
not sleep and so shall we not.

-Vande mataram! Vande mataram!
--Vande mataram!

-Vande mataram!

So they don't even know that
we've gained Independence.

I should write to the
MLA about this urgently.

They still don't know about Independence.

Oh, god!

'They only have a few arrows
and spears lying around, sir.'

'There's a Village Head here.'

'Aim a gun at point blank
and he'll spit everything out.'

Master...

What language is this?

I've seen it somewhere before.

That's an old piece of paper.

Oh, this is Chinese.

A disease from China has taken
over our country once before.

So I'm practicing the
language for research.

-That's why I have this.
-Oh, okay.

You may go now. I'll organize my stuff.

-Give that to me, Master. I'll put it back.
-No, it's totally okay.

Please go. I got this.

-See you, Master.
-Thank you.

Okay, Master.

'Sir, they're not leaving the village
assuming the British invasion is still on.'

'Once they know that they've left,
they'll become a part of our community.'

If I give this information to
the MLA, he'll gain popularity.

How does it benefit me though?

First I need to find out what the
valuable thing is and then inform the MLA.

Grandpa...

How long will you keep that beard like
Socrates from our Social Studies texts.

I brought you a special gift.

7' o clock.

Oh, you don't have to
wait till 7' o clock to use it.

You can shave any
time. It will work. Take it.

I finally won grandpa's heart.

Never mind. He's
shaving something at least.

Hey, Gadidha. What's up!

-What should I do with these?
-Put them on. You'll look like a hero.

-Listen...
-Master.

Why do you want to burn
your skin under the sun?

Take this.

I bought it from Eskota market.

Hey!

That's it!

This is turning the day into night.

This is called a lipstick.

Apply this on your lips.
You'll look gorgeous.

That's not how it's done. Look at me.

This is the magic of a lipstick.

You're right, Master.
You look super handsome.

Apply it every day.

Is that what you understood?

One minute.

-What is that?
-It's a toy you can play with.

-Hey! I'll play then.
-Yeah, go ahead.

-Master!
-Hmm.

Thank you so much, Master.

They're expensive
shoes. Use them carefully.

There's a lifetime warranty on those.

You can use them till you die.

Hey!

That kid Gunapam is far better than you.

He started playing the video game
without asking me how to play.

No, you're better.

Where are you taking me so early?

It's what you asked for.

What do you mean?

I'll show you the most
precious thing in Miriyalametta.

Aren't you coming?

Coming.

What do you think?

What's so great about it?

Don't you see it?

No. Just some noise.

Don't you feel anything looking at it?

Then, listen.

Listen? What do you mean?

Trust me.

Tell yourself to be peaceful
and close your eyes.

-Do you want to try it again?
-Hmm.

How did all this happen?

That's the freedom this forest bestows.

It lets you be yourself at all times.

All you need is a touch
that makes you feel peaceful.

Whatever. First show me
where the most precious thing is.

This is it.

This?

Is it not precious?

What about it? You can find
these sounds on YouTube.

So you don't like it?

You enjoyed like a little kid till now.
But you have a hard time admitting it.

What's so enjoyable here?
Nobody would be interested.

This place is only good
for getting drunk or laid.

I'll find the precious thing by myself.

The villagers are better than you.

Can I ask you something?

-Go ahead, Master.
-Come close.

I heard there's something
really valuable in your village.

You're right.

Come close.

What is it?

It's you!

Me?

Something valuable?

There are so many things.

You met Gandhi, right?
You should know better.

Oh, that?

I can't tell you, Master.

I just can't.

-But, listen...
-No. No. No.

I can't.

Please don't.

So many things.

If I ask him, he'll tell me to lose weight.

Valuable thing?

It's a miracle of sorts.

Is it? We have two such things.

Two? What are they?

One of them shows up on a full moon day.

The other shows up on a new moon day.

What is it?

There's ample moonlight on a full moon day.

-But on a new moon day...
-It's complete darkness.

How do you know?

I'm not talking about 2-3 stuff.

Tell me the most valuable thing you have.

Then it's of course the
King's treasure chest.

Treasure chest? What's in it?

Actually, it has nothing.

Is it the same one in my room?

Yeah, that's the one!

-Can you take it someplace else, please?
-Okay, Master.

-Tell me something, man.
-No, I will not, Master.

-Not at all?
-Not at all.

There are so many things.

There it is.

I made the TV that you asked for, Master.

-That's a TV?
-Yeah.

Okay.

-See you, Master.
-Hang on.

I heard there's something
really valuable in your village.

-What is it?
-Yeah, there is one thing.

It's the remedy for my asthma.
Our village deity. Do you want one too?

No, thanks. I don't have asthma. You go.

Something valuable?
I don't know what it is.

But I don't want your glares for sure.

I have nothing to hide from you, sir.

I'm not here to transform the village.

Tell me what's the most
valuable thing you have...

...and I can become the DEO
by exchanging that information.

I'll get one crore in dowry then.

If you're not comfortable telling me
directly, feel free to appear in my dream.

I can't even sleep due to this pressure.

See you.

Let me know if anything pops.

What's up, Master!

What are you looking for so desperately?

I'm working on something
and it's just not panning out.

Do you want me to help?

You can't do it.

I know what you're looking for.

No matter how much you ask,
none of the villagers will tell you.

Can you get me some lukewarm water, please?

-Hurry up, lady.
-Okay.

Come close.

How do you know that
I'm looking for something?

Whatever happens in this village
reaches all of us by the end of the day.

I wouldn't have told this to anyone else.

But the most valuable thing you're
looking for is our village deity's idol.

-Village deity?
-Yeah. Our village deity's idol.

Idol?!

Because it's so valuable,

all the neighboring villages have
tried to snatch it from us centuries ago.

But the idol finally ended up with us.

'You have an exam today.'

'Sit at our temple for some
time and you'll feel better.'

-'Where's the temple?'
-'It's on top of that hill.'

Holy smokes!

-Thanks, Ojha. I'll talk to you later.
-Master...

Grandpa, how do I reach the temple?

This way.

Up there.

'The remedy for my
asthma. Our village deity.'

'Do you want one too?'

'It's our village
deity's idol on the hill.'

'Nothing is more valuable than that.'

-Grandpa, have you seen Ojha?
-No.

Where did he go?

Hey, have you seen Ojha?

He went to the forest in the
morning to get honey for you.

Bloody hell! He disappears when I
really need him. Where did he go?

-Listen, have you seen Ojha anywhere?
-Why?

You...

Where are you, man?

-Have you seen Ojha?
-I've seen him around here a while ago.

-Where exactly?
-Somewhere over here.

Have you see Ojha?

I am Ojha, Master.

-You idiot! Come with me.
-Master, I'll drop the honey.

-What happened, Master?
-You really want to know?

You told me great things about the idol.

I went to check it out
and the idol wasn't there.

I told you it's the most
valuable thing we own.

They hid it because
someone might try to steal it.

-They hid it?
-Yes, Master.

Why would you hide the idol elsewhere?

Have the exotic veggies numbed your brain?

No, Master. Our Village Head has foreseen
the chances of the idol being stolen.

That is why they hid it in a secret spot.

Is it? So where did they hide it?

Even I don't know, Master.

-In fact, nobody in the village knows.
-How come?

Only our Village Head and his
wife know where the idol is kept.

-Nobody else knows.
-Really?

-I want to see the idol, man. What do I do?
-But why, Master?

Out of curiosity.

After the way you hyped it up,
anybody would want to see it, right?

That's the greatness of the idol.

But we can't see it even if we want to.

But if the village falls into some crisis,

they bring the idol into the
village and host a carnival.

They believe that will
chase the danger away.

What kind of danger?

Danger as in... Huge elephants
marching into the village.

Bears attacking us.

A cyclone sweeping everything away.

A flood washing away the village.

Something along those lines, Master.

When I was a kid, a few
elephants marched into the village.

We got super afraid and hosted
a grand carnival with the idol.

The elephants got scared and stepped back.

That was the first time I saw the idol.

It's not like any of us would wish
for a catastrophe just to see the idol.

-Oh, no! Master...
-Hi.

Why are you doing the chores?

There's nothing wrong
in doing our own chores.

That's not the point, Master.

You gave up so much
to come all the way for us.

-We can't trouble you further.
-Nothing like that. Please sit down.

I'm pretty much free after school is over.

I want to make time for
the village chores as well.

We're all a family here.

It is our fortune to have a
noble man like yourself with us.

Whatever you need, just call out for me.

-I'll be right with you.
-Sure.

I'll see you around, Master.

One moment.

Actually, there's
something I need to tell you.

I heard some noises from
outside the window last night.

At first, I thought it
was one of the villagers.

But then it was a bear.

You spotted a bear last night?!

Hmm. It even tried to break
down the window and enter.

I flashed a torchlight on
its face and it ran away.

I was able to manage somehow.

But there are so many kids in our village.

I'm concerned about them.

You're right, Master.

I heard there's some local
custom that you follow.

You better get that done.

I'll get campfires set up
around the village tonight.

Campfires?

Yeah, that will keep the bears away.

I was told that there's
some permanent solution.

Something else, apparently.
Why don't you get that done?

Something else?

I'll have our men guard the houses.

-Oh.
-Let's do that.

-That will keep the bear away?
-Absolutely.

Okay.

-Okay? Okay? Be stress free, Master.
-Okay. Thank you.

What are you looking for so desperately?

You seem really exhausted. Be seated.

I don't look for anything, Master.

I only try to completely figure
out what it is that I've found.

Whoa! So what did you figure out?

Forget about me.

I have a feeling that you're
desperately trying to find something.

Nothing like that.

Okay...

Do you see that tree over there?

Is it the lean and tall one just like you?

Yeah.

-It has a specialty, you know.
-What is it?

It gives only one fruit a year.

-Only one.
-Really?!

Hmm. And there's only
one such tree in the forest.

I wait every year and pluck the fruit.

You said it looks like me, right?

That's what I think too.

See. It's all alone out there.

Yeah. The leaves look
like your hair actually.

You know what?

The tree gave two fruits this year.

-Really?!
-Yeah.

That's what I'm thinking.

How did the tree know before me that a
person would come along to share the fruit?

Don't think too much.
That's called a co-incidence.

I asked my dad this when I was a kid.

Why does the tree give
fruit when it doesn't eat it?

He said humans may not
know the needs of the tree.

But the tree knows
the needs of humans.

Anyway, this is for you.

I doubt if you'll be here
around this time next year.

True. Why would I be here?

It's okay.

Love and nature always follow you around.

Our King used to tell us that.

Actually, this tastes really good.

All the fruits that we get in
December are usually sweet.

Oh, my god!

It's December.

-How could I forget?
-What happened?

There's going to be a cyclone in 2 days.

But the sky seems calm and peaceful.

That's the calm
before the storm.

Believe me, there will
be a cyclone in 2 days.

-No. That's not true.
-Are you mad?

People must've become alert already.

Trust me, I know this season.

But there was no cyclone
around this time last year.

This cyclone comes only once in 10 years.

There was no cyclone 10 years back either.

Hey! Don't you get it? Who
knows better? You or me?

If you give a cyclone prediction,
people will at least take precautions.

But if the cyclone hits, the
village will be in ruins.

You're used to being a
loner just like that tree.

Do you want the kids here
to meet the same fate as you?

You'll regret this mistake.

You'll repent this throughout your life.

Damn it!

Let's repeat this class tomorrow, okay?

-I have something to tell.
-What is it?

There are signs of a cyclone
coming our way in the next 2 days.

[all] Cyclone?!
-Really?! Is it a big one, dear?

Seems like a big one.

Did you really foresee it?

Hmm.

This means we should
host the carnival tomorrow.

We'll be doing the carnival tomorrow.

-Let us start with the proceedings.
-[all] Yeah.

They're going to bring the idol.

Forest Goddess, keep them safe.

[all hailing] Jora!

-Is it for the Master?
-Yeah.

Ojha, let's go.

Hold on. I'll serve food and come.

He's always in a rush.

Master, our carnival special is ready.

-I am...
-What is that, Master?

It's nothing. You go. I'll eat later.

What's wrong, Master? Why are you crying?

We used to host a carnival in
our village around the same time.

Is it so, Master?

Me and my relatives
would make it a grand affair.

But I'm stuck in this village this year.

-Do you miss everyone?
-Especially my mom.

I even wrote her a letter.

But what's the point? I can't post it.

Anything I can do to help?

Tell me, Master.

What can you do now?

There's a red box one kilometer
away from the main gate.

-When will you reach, post it...
-That's all?

I'm on guard duty at the
gate today. Give me that.

-Really?!
-Yes, Master.

I'll go and post this.

-Master...
-Hi, Nethanna.

Master, you're here! Accept this.

What are you looking at, Master?

I weaved these clothes for you.

Put these on and
you'll look like one of us.

I don't think I'll look good in these.

Don't overthink it, Master.

When you're in Rome, be a Roman.

-Take this.
-Okay.

This looks so grand, man.

That's a rock, dude.

It's not a rock, Master.

It's our Goddess!

That ring is in the way, Master.

Throw it away!

Gold is never a bother. You continue.

Gold? What's the use of it?

What's the use of gold, you ask?

There are no uses? What is it for then?

Have you ever seen a
boy with a monkey's head?

Do you want to see?

Come on out, boy!

Hey...

-What's with all the chaos?
-Grandpa Nethanna passed away.

'What are you waiting for? Come inside!'

'For the trouble we
caused in the last 15 days,'

'we are extremely sorry on
behalf of the whole village.'

'Master! Master!'

[all hooting] Habiba!

'I weaved these clothes for you.'

'Put these on and
you'll look like one of us.'

'They're expensive
shoes. Use them carefully.'

'They come with a lifetime warranty.'

'You can use them till you're dead.'

God has been really unfair.

Master...

What's wrong?

What's wrong? Nethanna passed away.

Yes, he died early.

After we're done here,
let's go back to guard duty.

Alright. Let's eat and then go.

Hey! Give me that knife.

Why is everyone acting so normal?

-Did you at least inform his family?
-Of course, they know.

Look. His two wives are over there.

Hey, give me that.

Sister, did you weave the mat?

You weaved it beautifully,
just like he used to.

I'm still not done.

Hey!

How come they're not even crying?

Any asset disputes?

Why should they cry, Master?

Because Nethanna is not with us anymore.

They should be in pain, right?

Who will live forever, Master?

None of us will.

Nethanna...

We're running short of twigs.
Go get some more.

I'll be right back.

Nethanna!

That's better.

His name is Gadidha. I mean Karba, right?

Why is he responding to Nethanna?

Because everyone will
be called Nethanna today.

If you were a local, you'd
be called Nethanna too.

Until his pyre is set on fire,

Nethanna is the only
name that will be heard of.

Why did they cover his face before
even letting us get one last glance?

One last glance? What's that?

Close ones would want to
take one last look at him, right?

When was the last time you saw him?

He gave me new clothes
on the day of the carnival.

You should remember Nethanna for
the guy who made you new clothes.

Not the guy who's lying down here now.

That was your last glimpse of him.

Remember him like that.

Nethanna! Get up!
I need to arrange the sticks.

He doesn't want to come.

Okay. One of us will do it.

What happened?

Grandpa Rayi is Nethanna's brother.

He doesn't want to light the pyre though.

Give him some more.

Yeah, the new Nethanna wouldn't
make new clothes for us otherwise.

We don't need new
clothes for a while, Sirapa.

He weaved an extra pair for
all of us during the carnival.

His wife told me about it.

Maybe he knew he was going to leave us.

Maybe. But he wouldn't
leave without a fight.

He's stubborn.

I don't think you know.

But your aunt and I had a
huge fight at the Panchayat.

We were fighting over him, of course.

Oh, I know. I also know how you
both convinced dad to marry you.

In our village, they recognize a kid's
traits when they're 5 and name them.

But they couldn't recognize
my traits even when I turned 7.

One day, I went to the
kitchen along with my mom.

That's when Nethanna noticed
me and gave me the name Saddi.

-Do you know what Saddi means?
-Uh-huh.

The first morsel that a baby consumes.

Isn't it such a lovely name?

My grandma used to tell me
to find a husband like Nethanna.

When I told grandpa that,

he called Gunapam and told me to marry him.

When I was climbing down
from a tree during guard duty,

a thorn pierced through my
clothes and tore them apart.

I don't know when he noticed it.

But he took the clothes back to his hut.

I wonder what he saw that he
had to fix your clothes so fast.

What's on your mind, Master?

Nothing.

I was wondering if there would be
anything to say about me when I'm dead.

Come on, Master!

You're our guru.

We would talk about
you for at least 3 days.

Hey, stop it!

People, listen up!

Master thinks we'd have nothing
to talk about him when he's dead.

What was your dream?

Master is a strong man.
But he doesn't like to move much.

He pees outside the
hut in case it's midnight.

I'm not going to talk about him.

I roam around him hoping
he'd notice him. But he doesn't.

That is why I won't say a thing about him.

Why are you laughing? I
know that you look at him too.

Master loves me a lot.

He cutely calls me Gadidha
every time he sees me.

Though he's arrogant about his
good looks, he has a heart of gold.

He's a kid at heart.

He has something to say.

But he struggles to say it out loud.

Let me see when he's going to open up.

I've got some work. I'll be right back.

What happened?

I'm worried about tomorrow...

...and you're watching this?

Leave it there.

It says 'England' on there.

-Is it the British, Master?
-Yes.

What is this, Master?

It's a World Cup match.

World... What is that?

-It is...
-Is it war?

In our country, it's almost like war.

But this is a pretty old match.

India and England are at war.

Assemble, everyone!

Master, we heard that India
and the British are at war.

Ojha told us.

It's not really a war.

Everyone here wants to witness it.

Okay, let's watch.

But the whole village
wants to watch, Master.

The whole village?

-Ojha...
-Yes, Master.

Karba!

He's going to hit them.

Hit them!

Did he just...

Hitting the white ball
means hitting the white guys.

Hitting the white ball
means hitting the white guys.

Hitting the white ball
means hitting the white guys.

Hitting the white ball
means hitting the white guys.

Hitting the white ball
means hitting the white guys.

Whoo-hoo! Yeah!

[all hailing] Vande mataram!

We must chase away
the British back to London.

We must hoist our flag in Delhi.

Until then, neither
Gandhi ji nor us will rest.

Vande mataram!

[all hailing] Vande mataram!

He's not Yuvraj Singh.

He's Bhagat Singh!

[all hailing] Vande mataram!

-What happened next, Master?
-Who won?

Please tell us what happened next.

Did we win, Master? Please tell us.

India won!

[all hooting] Habiba!

[voices slowly fading]

What is this? I've never
seen you like this before.

Sit down for a while.

We've never seen a miracle
like this before, Master.

It was mind blowing.

Do you know how the whites
have harassed our people?

They shot us dead if we retaliated.

They chopped off our arms and legs.
Didn't even spare the kids.

They raped our women.

Women jumped from the top of that
hill to avoid carrying their offspring.

Even after the British left, if any
baby was born with a fair complexion,

they got worried that the baby
could be carrying British blood.

The fear for color white has
transformed into adoration for color black.

Our women are still conditioned that way.

I didn't think I'd see us
defeat the whites before I die.

But today, I witnessed it.

What more could I ask for?

Take a look at our village once.

Take a look at our people.

Don't stop me today.

I'll dance till I die.

Don't stop me, Master.

Is your heart not accepting the
truth dangling in front of your eyes?

Who the hell are you to ask me that?

What's your name again? Rayi, right?

You didn't light your own brother's
pyre. You're literally a Rayi (stone).

Why? Aren't you my brother?

Isn't that bird my brother?

Isn't this tree that
gives shade my brother?

Having born together on
Earth is a relationship in itself.

I believe there's no bigger
relationship than that.

Both of us were born to
the same mother, that's all.

All these people were born to this village.

They fell and rose together.

The right thing to do would
be to let them light the pyre.

They're closer to him than he is to God.

Don't overthink it.

Lose the weight.

Thoughts will begin to fade away.

I don't mean the weight
you carry on your body.

It's the weight you carry up here.

What does the body ask for?

Just some food and sound sleep.

It is your desire that
demands everything else.

Shut your eyes and think of the
days you lived without any desire.

You'll gain a new perspective of the world.

What's all this happiness, Master?

Is this how you celebrate when India wins?

I've never asked you this but...

...how is the outside world?

-Is it good?
-Yeah. Very good, in fact.

Over here, a whole village
lives like one big family.

Over there, we can't tolerate having
relatives over for more than 4 days.

Though you're the Village Head,
you cleaned my room.

If you do that in the outside world,
you'll be labelled as a servant or labor.

If you dress sharp and sit in front of
a desk, they say you're doing great.

You name yourselves
after your skills, right?

But we give names judging by the
things we use and how big our houses are.

Millionaires, the
middle-class, lower class, etc.

The outside world is a huge circus.

We have a 11-day plan when a man dies.

Asset distribution, relatives, functions...

But you guys completed
the last rites by noon...

and celebrated his glory in the evening.

I should've understood when you couldn't
tell me what the most valuable thing is.

The people of this village operate
from a place of necessity and not desire.

I wish the outside
world was more like this.

We chase meaningless stuff.

We're willing to betray a whole
village for a small promotion.

We don't mind cheating the
people who put their trust in us.

Once the British leave, things
will change for the better, Master.

I'll get going, Master.

It's our good fortune to
have met you, Master.

He calls me a cute donkey
whenever he sees me.

That's the significance of that idol.

I'll guard the gate today. Give me that.

Sundaram finally did it, sir!

He's a tough one.

He made the idol disappear. What
are you still waiting for, Big Brother?

Let's offer him to the tree.

Konda, we made a mistake
by falsely accusing him once.

Let's not repeat that.

Doesn't mean we let go of the idol.

This is our village's honor.

We won't let it go even if we die.

I won't ask you what you were doing there.

But if the idol isn't back in 2 days,

this village will do what it's meant to.

To me, nothing is more
important than my village.

This is stone.

It's stone?

Please look closely.

I did, sir.

It seems like an old idol.

If we can perform carbon
dating and figure out how old it is,

it might have
value in the antiques market.

Do it. Do it.

It has to be done in Mumbai only.

Send it.

Sundaram is so dead once he's back.

Hurry up, sir.

Looks like you lost quite some weight.

After hearing those words
from you, I feel much lighter.

Now that you heard them,

-it's time for you to pass them forward.
-Me?

Who will listen to my words?

Say it till your voice is heard.

Say it to how many ever
people your voice reaches to.

If your words are good,

they'll carry them forward.

I hope our villagers don't
carry my pyre tomorrow.

Thank goodness, you're here!

I knew you hadn't done it, Master.

Seeing you laugh like
this, I feel very confident.

Take care, Master.

You have all my support and my army's.

Big Brother cannot know that I came here.

Bye, Master.

Did you want to see me, Master?

Mom needs to know what's happening here.

Please post this one last
thing without asking why.

What's your confidence, Master?

I'm able to predict the sun and the rain.

But I'm unable to predict a man's nature.

I know one thing for sure.

If something happens to you tomorrow,

this village would be as
much in pain as your mother.

Please do something, Master.

I don't know how you'll do it.

But before dawn,

I want you to be gone.

If you stay back until tomorrow,

I might have to punish you.

I can't see good people
like you getting hurt.

Nothing should happen to you.

Please go away, Master.

Please go away.

Go get him.

Big Brother...

Prep him for the punishment.

Big Brother...

Big Brother...

Big Brother...

-Big Brother...
-The idol is back.

Our Goddess is back.

Our Goddess is back!

Sir, don't worry that the idol
I sent you is made of stone.

It's a really powerful idol.

People have fought battles for that idol.

If you worship the idol in
solitude using mahuwa flowers,

you'll become the Minister within 6 months.

But to suppress the heat that
emerges from the idol after worship,

you must give the idol a holy shower
in the lake in front of the temple.

Otherwise, your prayers will go to waste.

Finish your worship and send the idol back.

I'll handle the rest here.

To the future Minister...
With love, Sundar Rao.

Ward off the evil eye from the Goddess.

We need to hide her safely.

You don't have to hide
the Goddess' idol anymore.

The bad omen is gone now.

Nobody will steal the idol after today.

Your holy deity will reside in your temple.

Independence.

Freedom.

Synonyms are Self-rule and Self-sufficiency.

-Perseverance.
-Persistence in doing something.

Opposite word is Procrastination.
Delaying things.

Beautiful.

Something that is admirable,
elegant and pleasant on the eye.

For example?

There is no example for beauty.
It depends on the individual.

Awesome!

Wonderful-Higher in quality.

You don't need any Masters
from the outside world.

Ojha is the new English
Master of your village.

[all hooting] Habiba! Habiba!

-Congratulations!
-You deserve it, man.

-Congrats, Master!
-You made it.

-Thanks a lot, Master.
-What did I do?

It is because of you that my
people believe in me so much.

You wanted to be the village's
English teacher and here you are.

How did you know, Master?

You only said that your villagers
are named based on their skills.

Ojha means guru. It's the
name you gave yourself.

That's when I knew.

-Master...
-Listen, I need to ask you something.

What is it, Master?

Why did you risk upsetting
your favorite people and help me?

I saw your identity card the
day they tied you up to the tree.

It said 'Teacher'.

People may betray you or they may not.

But I believe a guru
would never betray anyone.

And I was right.

Was I, Master?

Oye, it's you! When did you come?

I was looking for you.

Are you crying?

It doesn't suit you at all, please.

You're leaving, right?
-Shouldn't I?

You only said, 'Love and
nature follow you everywhere.'

I have...

...something for you.

Remember there's another
special tree in this forest.

Even this tree gives only one fruit a year.

But this tree isn't lean like you.
It looks stout like me.

So, Myna may lie.

But nature doesn't.

Don't act as if only you know
your way around the forest.

After I leave, you need to
take care of my tree as well.

Okay?

Okay?

You're doing it wrong.

Hit it like this.

Got it?

Master, I've trained not one but
11 Yuvraj Singhs for the battle.

Let the games begin!

Tell Gandhi I said hi.

Gandhi passed away, Sirapa.

Actually, no. Our people
only shot him dead.

But, nothing to worry.

He lives on in the hearts of many people.

Don't worry.

Does this mean I can never see Gandhi?

Here.

Is this Gandhi?

Whenever I think of the
Freedom Fighter Gandhi,

I assume that he'd be holding
weapons, with a battalion behind him.

But he has a pleasant
smile, like that of a kid.

I guess all fighters have
that sense of chivalry in them.

Do you have more, Master?

Just a minute.

Master, give me one.

One for me.

-Master, say hi to Yuvraj Singh for me.
-I'll tweet about it.

A big Jora (thanks) for all the
ways in which you helped our village.

We couldn't ever repay you for it.

Keep this for travel expenses.

This is all I have.

I don't even know what that is worth.

You've already given me a lifetime's worth.

Jora, Master.

Stay back, Master.

I'll find you two wives,
like I did for myself.

No, man.

I thought being a teacher
means giving education.

But your village taught me that
it's about teaching how to live.

There are a lot of youngsters out there.

I have a lot to do with them.

-Master!

Your bags.

Keep them. Let me lose the weight.
