Original subtitles

Hell no!

No way I'm doing that!

Why can't we...?

Not turn on the lights and celebrate the birthday with a lamp?

Neither will I turn on the grid line.

Nor will I let anyone touch it.

You've got your father's job. - You said it right!

But your father doesn't own the electricity, got it?

Ay! Come at me!

Guys! Let go!

Tell us why you're refusing to turn on the electricity.

Avva (Mother), it's because...

If we start telling the story from the middle, how will you get it?

As a lineman, if I refuse to turn on the electricity, will the people let me be?

Come on! Let me start the story from first.

This is my village's story.

This could be your village's too.

This is my story. This could your story.

[MAN WHISTLING]

That woman has a lot of attitude.

What movie is that line from? Recite it again.

I'll make a reel of it.

I'll be flooded with likes and comments.

To hell with your filthy mouth!

Not a single woman is glancing at my Mega Star's line.

Yet he wants me to make reels.

As if you're a Greek God for everyone to turn to you.

Make reels like Jagga, maybe then some women might accidentally look at you.

He's right. Make some reels.

Not just in our village, the entire village will check you out.

Firstly, strive and find yourself a job.

You've no direction in life.

Your parents fed you well and you're now a pig.

Instead, if you park your bums in the same place all day and smoke beedis.

What woman in her right mind would look at your faces?

Darling!

Really?

Watch me appear.

At the same place and times. I'll be there right away.

Sigh! - I'm coming.

See you in the evening guys.

Moron!

Murali! -

See you around? - Get lost.

Walk away man!

I'll see where you'll go.

One call from Jhumki...

He runs like a cat going for milk.

See you in the evening, guys. - Get lost.

Check if there's enough air in the tyre.

I need to turn the grid lines on.

See you.

Fine man! You got your father's job effortlessly.

And there's my father...

Never did he study hard nor did he get a government job.

That useless bugger spent whatever we had in gambling.

Screw it! Let's make some reels.

I stopped midway thanks to that bugger. - You dimwit!

Looks like I've have to go into hiding.

My name's Nataraj.

My villagers call me 'Nattu'.

My village is Sathipalli in Kammam district.

I'm in-charge of my village's tiny power station.

If I don't turn on the switch in my village, there won't be any electricity.

I won't be wrong in calling myself as my village's 'Power Star'.

You might ask why there's no direct supply of electricity.

Electricity is a bizarre thing.

My job is to turn the grid on and off after checking the current load passing through.

Where are you off to, Nattu?

The usual, Goud sir.

I'll turn on the street lamp and head home.

I envy you. You do your job on time and leave.

Shanti. Nattu's here. Get him coffee.

You have a government job in hand. You're of the right age.

Why can't you find yourself a good girl and tie the knots?

Yeah, right.

Apart from chugging coffee and smirking at every passer-by sitting on this platform...

"Have some coffee, get married, make some kids..."

Is that what you should be telling?

What have you achieved on that front?

All we can hear are the baby goats cry in this house.

What about our children? To hell with you!

Nattu, will you have some coffee? - No need, Sister.

My stomach's all gassy and burning.

As you wish.

See you, Goud sir. - Go on. You saw what my life's like.

There's nothing special about my village to talk about.

People with decent education moved to the city for jobs.

There are others, lazing around, doing nothing worthwhile.

The oldies one after the other, are taking a one-way ticket to heaven.

Hyderabad continues to sway every other youth towards itself.

Hyderabad!

Why are you sitting out here, Balarajanna?

Had your tea?

No tea or coffee for me.

As soon as the TV soaps, peace has left the home.

Why are you saying such things?

Come evening and you turn on the electricity.

She forgets her husband and plops in front of the TV.

Look at her!

What an ill-omen you are, woman!

Aren't you a woman too?

Weren't you a daughter-in-law once?

Why do your torture your daughter-in-law so much?

To hell with you! May you be destroyed!

That's how my life is!

Until the soap ends, this is how I suffer.

How about this? - Yeah?

Why don't you turn on the electricity once the daily soaps are done.

You don't want me to be at peace in this village, do you?

You smoke your beedis and chill.

One day you'll marry and suffer my fate.

A village decades ago and today, is a lot different.

Back then, every home would have a bullock cart parked in the front.

Today, you'll find motorbikes in front of every home.

Back then, women would sweep their front yard with cow dung and draw rangolis.

Today, cement roads have taken over.

Back then, a home would only have a radio.

Today, every kid has a smart phone in their hand.

To convene Panchayat meetings, announce the birth or

death of someone, spread ill or good news of others.

We have a WhatsApp group in our village.

I'm the owner of the group.

Well, they're called admins I think.

A lot has changed in our village.

But also, a lot remains the same in our village.

Even now, you'll find four old men chitchatting under the big tree.

Farmers still depend on the rains to survive.

Every time, the government promises to do good to the farmers.

There are boys who are mad about cinema-theater

and won't give a damn even if worse comes to the worst.

Women who live with their daily soaps and husbands.

This is how our village is. Everybody's a specimen.

But when things get tough, the entire village comes together.

My village is just like any other village.

Nothing special about it.

I... am Nataraj.

Everybody calls me 'Nattu'.

My village means the world to me.

Jhumki, isn't it fun to get naughty in the dark?

If ever I marry you, looks like you'll never get an electricity connection.

Why do you say that? So what if there's no power?

Aren't you as bright as a lightning strike?

It's getting dark.

Before the power goes again, will you give me something?

What is it?

Oh no. The power's here. I'm leaving.

This is his doing. Jhumki, wait!

Nattu, why can't you turn this lamp after lighting up the entire village?

You always ruin things at the wrong time.

Let me be. What were you doing with that girl in the dark?

Playing hopscotch?

Well, actually...

Kusuma dropped her earring. I was looking for it.

Keep meddling with the earring.

One fine day, her brother will find out.

He'll tie you to this pole and break your bones.

You'll see that day.

Fine! I'm a man too. I'll handle him.

Enough with the advice!

Nattu, Gowrakka called this noon.

Really? Out of the blue?

Did her sister-in-law finally croak?

Dammit! Don't say such things.

Remember her sister-in-law? - That loudmouth?

Her daughter Sushma has passed college. - So?

Should I get her a job in the electricity board?

The thing is...

If you both get married to each other...

It'll be a match made in heaven.

Now she wants us, huh?

I got a government job now, don't I?

When I was unemployed?

What happened when you asked for Gowrakka's daughter in hand?

If ever my daughter marries someone, it'll be a doctor.

Let the past go.

Listen to me and get married to Sushma.

Listen, Avva (Mother).

I wish to achieve a lot of things in life.

Listen, I'm getting old.

Once I get you married, I'm done with my responsibilities.

Why don't ever speak about your marriage?

I don't want to marry now!

Only after I achieve something in life. Fix my marriage.

Till then, I'll mind my business.

Fine!

I know how to convince you.

Watch how I make it happen.

Ladies and Gentlemen.

[SOUND OF A BABY CRYING]

Everything will be alright, Keshavanna.

Devudamma is here.

Not once has any of her deliveries gone wrong.

There she is.

Avva!

Not one, but two angels have dropped into your home.

Remember...

Two daughters are here.

Smoking beedis, drinking alcohol...

Don't you dare. - Applies to you too.

You'll have to quit drinking. - I will.

I swear at your feet. I'll quit all the vices.

Bless you my son!

Wash your hands and feet.

Clean up and go see your children.

Keshavanna, stay here and take care of things.

I'll drop Avva home. - Wait!

Let's make a video and post it in the group.

Look over there and pose.

People of Sathipalli.

Keshavanna's wife has given birth to twins. - Two of them.

Till date, our midwife Devudamma has delivered...

Thousand... It's in thousands, right? - Who the hell kept count?

Bye. - Him and his obsessions.

I'll see you. - Sure.

Careful. - I'll post it in all the groups in the village.

Don't annoy people.

Jhumki? - Yeah?

Two more children have been added to Devudamma's list.

Really? Keshavanna had two girls?

Nah. His wife did. - Naughty!

Jhumki. - Yeah?

Devudamma has grown old. She's almost a hundred.

On this occasion, shall we also make babies?

Don't piss me off now.

What did I even say to piss you off?

Thanks to Devudamma, everybody in and around our village feel safe.

She's our guardian angel.

Since I can remember, she's been delivering children as gently as one can imagine.

In times of difficulty, she makes it all go away.

Isn't that why God has blessed her with health and wealth?

Greetings madam!

Heard about Keshavanna becoming a father? - What kind?

Twin daughters.

If they'd gone to the doctor, it would've cost them lakhs of rupees.

They would've mentioned unheard ailments in

the child and rob them off of everything.

Only Devudamma would do it for free.

Hello? - Hi, Grandma.

Congratulations. - For what, my child?

I'm congratulating you for another successful delivery.

How did you find out?

I'm also a member of your village's WhatsApp group.

I know about everything happening over there.

I don't really understand phones.

The children were given birth by her mother.

How can I take credit for that?

Off late, your health hasn't been great, Grandma.

What will you do all alone in that village?

Move in with me. - No need, my dear.

I don't wish to move to Hyderabad.

Your city pleases the eyes.

But lacks a soul.

There's still some soul left in our villages.

Villages continue to live on.

To leave behind these people, their love, their companionship

and live on my own,is a difficult task for me, my child.

Without me, this village will live on.

But I can't live without this village.

Don't mind me, my dear.

Whenever you feel like seeing me, come running to me.

I've been asking you for all these years.

You've had the same excuse every time.

It's okay. You do what's right for you.

Take care. Bye, Grandma. - Sure, my child.

A good morning to all my devotees.

Everyday, you listen to your horoscope.

But today, on this auspicious day.

I'll talk about emotions today.

Some experience good emotions, other struggle to enjoy it.

Why do they eat only once on Saturday?

If you fast once a week. it's good for your health.

My my! Every word our Guru utters are shining pearls of wisdom.

In this auspicious period, Capricorns will be blessed

with the Lakshmi, the wealth goddess's blessings.

Your troubles will flee from your windows.

Having married a man like him, there's no source of income.

How will the Goddess even bless us?

It's all my fate.

Women with this sun sign inevitably suffer with beatings and scoldings from their husbands.

Every Friday, you need to offer a big coconut, offer

Vermillion and turmeric, all the problems will vanish.

Capricorn women married to Cancer husbands end up becoming their slaves.

Shoot him down! Aim for the head.

Shoot him in the head! - Shoot who and what?!

I bought you a mobile phone for online classes.

Yet here you are, killing and shooting people.

I'll kill you right here.

Take this and kill people here.

I'll at least get a 'Chicken Dinner'.

Yeah, right. - Dunderheads! Lock your mouths up.

Your tiff isn't letting me listen to the Guru.

This Saturday, get some curd rice...

Dammit!

Always gets messed up in the wrong time.

Move aside!

Let me play!

Can't you come and take a look?

It's going bonkers.

It's not the TV.

That man can't stand other men. - Like he came by and told you.

Just come and take a look.

Oh my god! I curse your limbs to fall off.

You're behaving exactly as Guruji predicted.

I don't care what you'll do.

Get the TV repaired and get it back by evening.

Else, you'll have it from me.

I'm hungry. I'll eat and leave.

You're not getting anything.

If you don't get it fixed, I'll deal with you.

If you don't bring it back in a working condition, I will not cook.

Winner winner chicken dinner!

Shut your trap and sit.

You and your worthless mobile phone.

I gave the mixer long ago. What happened to it?

What else could happen?

The motor's damaged. I need to buy a new one.

She will never listen.

It's better you buy a new one instead.

You've been saying the same since a week.

Will it get repaired or not?

Isn't of roaming around trying to get it fixed, isn't it better to buy a new one?

I don't care what you do.

By hook or crook, I want this working.

If you can't do it, I'll send my husband.

I beg you. Why involve another man?

Only women are allowed in this shop. Men are prohibited.

If the mixer's not ready tomorrow, I'll grind you to dust.

You need electricity to do that. Don't bug me.

Instead of haggling, buy a new one woman!

These villagers never understand.

Keep it down there.

Balarajanna, did it conk off again?

Your shoulders hurt and so does my eye.

Take it back the same way you brought it here.

I can't take it back. I have get it fixed and take it back .

I'm not free now. - Don't say that.

Do something.

If it doesn't work, I'll be broken into pieces.

Don't you know about my wife?

Don't you see it? I'm drowning in electricity.

Touch me and you'll get electrocuted yourself.

Don't say that.

Feel free to keep the wires wherever it pleases you.

But help me out.

My wife has told me not to come home without getting it fixed.

Balaraju, I can't do this any more.

Either get the TV exchanged or your wife exchanged.

This TV cannot be repaired.

Like you told, I'll go home and tell my wife what happened here.

She'll put you in place.

She'll repair you and the TV together.

Dear lord! Please don't that.

It'll be ready by 4 PM. Leave.

That's the answer I was looking for. Get to work!

What brilliant customers in the morning!

What could bring me more joy than this?

I'll take care of everything. You carry on.

Fine, Goud. As you say.

Greetings to our villagers...

On the next full-moon day, our Devudamma will turn 100.

We need to discuss it.

Everybody assemble at Rama Mandira this evening.

No stupid excuses. Make sure you attend.

Tell us your plan, Goud Sir. We're ready.

Having learnt about our Devudamma's achievements, the government

and other organisations have awarded and felicitated her.

On the next full-moon day, our Devudamma will turn 100.

Therefore, I've called you over to plan an event.

We agree with your words.

Now tell us your plan. - Go on.

If we can get Wyra Bhagyalakshmi here, the dance floor will be on fire.

Our eyes won't suffice to witness her dance.

The entire village will go mad.

Mr. Designer, she's not ruling the market any more.

No one cares about those dances anymore.

Let's go for an Orchestra performance.

Mission Mahesha, shut up!

No need for an Orchestra or an Opera.

Let's arrange a session of mythological discourse.

Please, Shankaranna.

Never have you listened to a discourse completely.

Why will the others?

Nobody in the village should sleep that night.

So, let's invite a star heroine and get her to dance.

It'll be awesome. - Superb suggestion, sourpuss.

If cinema people come to our village, our Devudamma's event will go viral.

Keep quiet! - Devudamma is this village's star.

No need for them.

Let's ask Komali from Kodhana to come over and arrange a social play.

Yeah, right.

Your wife will come over at my mill tomorrow.

I'll tell her that you were yearning for Kodhana Komali.

If she picks up a broom, she'll bash your teeth in. Watch it.

When did she come over there? - Will tell you when she comes.

You better keep quiet.

Ay! Shut up everyone. Don't blabber nonsense.

Devudamma is a dignified woman.

Remember to speak respectfully.

If you're willing to listen, I have a suggestion to make.

Nattu, haven't we invited everyone here for that?

Go on. Tell us.

Tell us how we celebrate our children's birthday.

Our esteemed Goud Sir hasn't borne a child.

Why would you ask him that?

Oy! Don't push our limit. Pipe down, dimwit!

Nattu, you tell us your idea.

Don't we invite everyone, decorate the village,

cut cakes and send them home with sweets?

Similarly, our Devudamma has rocked all of our cradles.

Wishing her another hundred years of good life,

let's celebrate her birthday we celebrate our children's.

Superb idea.

Also, let's stand around Devudamma and make reels singing birthday songs.

Ay! Shut up!

Enough with the nonsensical talks.

For 50 bucks, we'll get a shawl.

100 bucks will get us a turban.

Let's invite the MLA and felicitate her.

Oy Karilingu!

Whose idea did you just shoot down as nonsense?

Don't mess with me. - Mahadeva. Pipe down.

Not just you.

Be it the MLA or his parents, they were all delivered by our Devudamma.

Go ask your mother. - You said it right.

We're here to finalise the event. So tell us if you consent.

YES! [IN UNISON]

Do you all agree? - Yeah. We do.

Then hand me a list of work everybody will do.

Every village around us should be in awe, watching us celebrate Devudamma's birthday.

Let's make it a grand event. What do you say?

Everybody disperse.

Let's go.

Father, let's play a game. - Yes, please!

[COUNTING NUMBERS]

You're counting it correctly.

Naana (Father), how long until electricity returns?

Any moment now, my girl.

Naana, aren't we the first in our village to get a power back-up?

Not just the UPS dear.

We were the first to buy a TV and a phone.

We were the first ones to do a lot of things.

Naana, who built this house? You or Thaata (Grandpa)?

It was your Thaata, my son.

Everybody in the village respected him a lot.

Thaata has done a lot of good to the village.

Naana, everybody respects Thaata.

But what has he done to deserve that?

Whenever someone needed help, they would first approach thaata.

Every time my father walked by, everybody would shiver in fear.

Enough now.

Electricity is back! [IN UNISON]

I'll go and charge my mobile phone.

I'll go and turn on the TV.

Oh no! I've left the mixer on.

The UPS is ready, Sir.

How long does it last? - With TV and refrigerator.

With full charge, it might last four hours.

I'll see you, Sir. - Okay.

So much for benefits of electricity.

When there was no electricity, everybody sat together.

The moment it returned, nobody cares about each other.

Looks like the inventor of electricity didn't have friends or family.

Looks like Goud Sir is waiting for someone?

Mind your business, dimwit!

Good for nothing.

Mission Mahesha went towards your home with a Ragi bag in his hands.

Go and check over there. Quit waling time here.

Let me go home and take a look. - Do that.

He meddles with others' business and ignore his own.

Hello Goud Sir!

Do you know how long I've been waiting here?

This time, you'll hit the target.

Consider your job done. - Really?

Take it. - This isn't a perfume bottle.

You're stripping in a market.

Let me keep it inside.

This won't backfire, right? - No way.

You'll end up firing shots.

This isn't ordinary medicine.

I got this done specially for you.

No way will the target miss this time.

I guarantee.

Go home and open the bottle. That'll do it.

The fragrance will ensure that even your neighbours will have kids. Trust me, Sir.

Our neighbours have a lot of children already.

We're the ones who need children now.

Don't I know that? That's why I've got you this.

Will it work for sure?

You put in your honest effort. The medicine will do the rest.

I'll go home, close the windows and get to work.

You leave now. - Goud Sir, what about the money?

Let me test it first. You'll get your money later. Now leave.

Right now, I don't have money. - How can we do this without money?

If you say this won't happen, I'll lose my temper

In the end, I'm the one who's bearing the brunt.

See you around. - Good. Now leave.

Goud, it's time to have fun!

Now my home will be filled with children.

Nattu! [IN UNISON]

Woah! What's wrong?

We're practising the lines. Tell us how we're doing.

To hell with you.

You three always blabber together. - That's the way it is.

Yeah, right. It's been years, yet I don't know your names.

The Good, Bad and the Ugly.

Who the hell named you? - We named ourselves.

Okay. Carry on.

We're practising very well for the event.

Go do something worthwhile

I need to turn the lights on.

Nattu, wait a minute.

Why? - We'll recite a dialogue. Wait.

Really?

No whiff of education from you guys.

I can't bear to listen to you talk.

Who wants to hear you recite a dialogue?

No matter how much you practice, no dog will watch your performance.

Nattu, you're humiliating us a lot.

A day will come when we'll be famous and you'll come to us for a selfie.

Let me wait for that day.

Wastrels!

Insult!

Brother, I only had one father.

Please do a good job.

Do others have ten fathers?

Pipe down and sit, man.

Loki, we need a banner urgently.

Don't you see us working? Wait for ten minutes.

Why are you making condolence posters in the morning?

It's my father. He died after a dog bite.

Oh no! - Dude, keep quiet.

Murali, give me five minutes. I'll finish this work.

The flex is for the centenary birthday of midwife Devudamma. Got it?

A big photo of Devudamma.

The design should send ripples in the village. Got it?

Wait for a while. Let me finish his job? - Our job will only take you two minutes.

It's a simple matter. You only need to add four photographs. That's all.

Brother, wait over there for five minutes.

Let me finish their job.

Else they won't let me do mine.

Father, peace evaded you both in your life and afterlife. Dammit!

My life has gone to the dogs..

Go on, brother. Get your job done.

Now tell me what I need to add.

A grand banner designed with Devudamma's photograph. That's all.

Right below her leg, pictures of us four.

Go on. Do it.

Make it bigger. - What?

Go on.

Mine and Nattu's pictures on the top.

Jagga's and Murali's at the bottom.

Loki!

Make my picture look fairer. - Why's that?

The entire village will see it, man.

I'm unmarried, right?

One glance and all the women should fall for me.

Go on.

This is supposed to be Devudamma's day. But looks like you guys want the limelight.

Come on, Loki!

Women will be looking at this banner.

Fans should be mesmerized. Enemies should die of envy.

Make the banner look great.

Dude, make way. Come on now.

Not just pictures, man.

It should've a couple of dialogues too.

Say it out loud!

Kids love candies. I love Jhumki.

Add it!

Who's Jhumki? - Why do you care? Just do as I say.

Here's my line.

Here's some Buffalo milk in a basket.

This sourpuss is this village's priced asset.

Brilliant dialogue man!

What have I done to deserve your torture?

Jaggu, add your line. - Below my picture...

A cow and a calf in every home, Jaggu's the Instagram on everyone's phone.

Bravo Jaggi! - Awesome Jaggi.

Brother, how about a line below my father's picture?

My father lived like a Lion. A rabid got to his loin.

Superb man!

Loki, do you see how awesome we are?

You guys and your shenanigans!

That's about it. There are a couple more pictures.

Place them in any random corner. Let them plop down in some corner.

The moron's here

Check that out guys!

Their pictures and dialogues together!

If our photographs don't look good...

Neither will you nor your studio make it to tomorrow.

You'll be hanging on the top of your shutter!

He said it. - Karilingu!

Karilingu, why are you acting cocky?

If you want it, we'll write some fancy lines for you too.

Like he knows any better. - Loki, type it down!

I brought my girl a bouquet. But apparently it irked our Karilingu.

One whack and you'll be on the ground. - You think you can threaten us.

Just a minute. What's wrong with you guys?

Why are you making me the scapegoat in your fight?

You want a flex, right?

I'll design one, bring it to the village and put it up.

Leave now. - But Loki, what about the money?

Having you guys here is worse than no money!

Get out!

Fine. We'll leave.

I'll deal with you guys. - Enough with the bluffing.

Keep walking now! - Leave!

[COMMOTION CONTINUES]

The scissor's sharp. Careful. - I'll stab you with it.

Loki, don't delay it. - Make a neat banner.

Please complete my father's banner.

Your father left this world. You leave my shop now.

Nattu, I heard your mother's found a match for you.

Apparently, you refused the wedding? Why is that?

Devudamma, what have I done with my life to get married?

The entire village's behind me.

You want me to get married like everybody else and wash my kid's bum?

If your father too pondered over such things...

You wouldn't be on this earth.

Nattu, ambitions and life are two different things.

Animals and birds too have a life to live.

But only man struggles in the name of ambition.

But forgets to live.

A man and a woman don't consummate just out of desire.

But to keep their lineage going.

I've witnessed three generations.

Value my words too, please.

Fine, Avva. I'll get married like you said.

Tell me about this event the entire village is prepping for.

What is it for? - What do you mean?

This is to celebrate your centenary birthday.

Birthday?! - Yeah.

Am I a small kid?

Come on now.

Who gave this nonsensical idea?

It was mine.

If the entire village's lineage has gone forward, you're responsible for it.

We're doing this so you can live for another 100 years.

Why do I need this?

My end is here. - Who says so?

You just asked me to get married and have kids.

Who will be the midwife for my wife?

As you wish. If God wills it, let that happen.

Why should I deprive you of that joy?

Do as you wish.

Now you said it.

Get lost!

I'll see you, Avva.

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

What's your problem? - I'm in the bathroom, Sir.

How does it concern me whether you're in the bathroom or bedroom?

Sir, if there's no electricity in the bedroom, it'll do.

But shower and tap needs it.

I'm sitting naked in the bathroom.

What has electricity got to do with your being naked?

Only if you supply the electricity, will there be water from the tap.

Bathroom boy, your line has been damaged.

We don't know when it'll be back. Until then, stay inside.

Don't come out. - Sure, Sir.

To hell with him!

The sparrows are dying, Sir!

You need to save them, Sir.

The sparrows are dying.

What can I do about it? - Take this.

I'll give you a whack.

Turn it around.

A sparrow lover, huh?

Where's your AE (Assistant Engineer)? - Go find him inside.

Give me back the card. Why waste it?

Ay! I'm coming for you AE!

Oh! Welcome. Please sit.

Where are the sparrows, Manohar?

I'm not Manohar. I'm Jyothi Kumar.

Is this board here for fun?

Don't I know? Can't I read English?

My foot!

Where are the sparrows, Manohar? - Take a breather.

Coffee or Tea? What'll you have? - Dammit!

Every time I come, they feed me something. They don't care about issues.

Get us some coffee. What will the sparrow have?

Tell me. - Why would I care?

Amavasya! Come in.

Sir!

Get two strong coffees to match sir's personality.

Okay, Sir. - Wait, Pournami!

Sir, my name's Amavasya. - I can see that in your face, darling.

Get me biscuits with dry fruits sprinkled all over it.

Get me four to five packets. - Sure, Sir.

Don't forget it, darling. - Sure.

Now tell me what's your problem?

You lay poles as per your wish.

You cut trees as per your whims and fancy.

Where will the sparrows sit?

Where's the space for them?

Where will the poop? On your head?!

Jyothi Kumar, I'm pissed.

You're sitting comfortably under a roof, where will the sparrows park themselves?!

Tell me about it. - What do we do about it?

All the credit goes to your MLA. He claimed his pole is damaged.

What can we do?

Screw him! He's unable to handle his wife.

Why would he care about the sparrows?

Sparrows can't sit on a high tension wire.

I can't handle that tension by myself.

I don't know what I'll do if I'm tensed.

Excuse me. Who's he?

He's a sparrow lover.

He drops in to have coffee or tea.

If he starts to blabber nonsense, we give him sweets and he'll leave.

That's about it. I'll see you.

Tell me what needs to be done, Jyothi Kumar!

Nice timing.

Move your umbrella.

I asked for coffee and he got tea.

Here's your biscuits.

Isn't the coffee tasting like tea? - Only a bit. Have it.

Mr. Sparrow lover, please try to understand our problem.

What about my problem?

Who will understand our problem?

There was a woman. She left me behind.

Who do I go to?

You've parked yourself on a cushion chair and tea on your desk.

We'll have to sit on iron chairs.

Won't it hurt?

All government employees are the same.

Neither do they listen, nor care about the public's problems.

There's no point blaming you. The system itself is corrupted.

All you do is loot the people and devour their money.

Then who will take care of our problems?

There's nobody here to get me sweets, right?

I'll protest against the bad tea now.

Please sit down. - No. I'm leaving.

All you wanted sweets, right? Amavasya! Get some sweets.

Nobody understands my problem. - Amavasya!

You leave right away and get half a kilo... - Huh?

No. Get a kilogram of sweets.

Don't you know, Sir?

If he gets tensed, his sugar levels will go down.

Hurry up and get it.

Do you want the dry fruits sprinkled...?

No. You know Pulla Reddy sweets, right?

Make sure you get some fresh dry fruit laddoos from there?

Don't forget it. - Sure.

Make sure there are a lot of cashews and nuts in it.

Okay, sir.

What was I saying?

Why do you keep screeching about sparrows?

There are crows and owls. They're birds too, right?

This isn't you speaking.

This is the salaried Jyothi Kumar speaking.

The AE? It's him speaking.

Sparrows have become a rare occurrence among birds.

That is why I focus on them specifically.

Ernesto "Che" Guevara. - What?

Elvis who? - Never mind.

Ernesto means sincerity.

Okay?

In 1898, him and I would fight and spit at each other.

In Cuba.

During the fight, a sparrow came and sat on my shoulder.

I was like, "What a cutie! You're adorable to look at."

I brought it home instantly.

From home, I took it to Hyderabad zoo.

In the zoo, the sparrow got busy coochie-cooing.

What timing man? - It has dry fruits in it like you wanted.

Are you doing me a favour? I'll start protesting now.

Why this behaviour, Amaashe?

My item's here. Now...

By the time I visit you again, the poles should be unearthed.

Why not? Sure.

Else, I'll start protesting again. I will not take it.

I'm telling you! No one can stop me!

Make sure you take care of it!

Get everything removed! - Without fail.

Don't make me come back here again.

I'll make sure you don't have to come back again.

I'll pluck them out. Then you'll have to keep searching for them.

You know what happens when I get angry. - Oh. I do.

Please don't make me come back again. - No way.

My god!

In that daily soap, the mother-in-law is torturing the daughter-in-law.

Wasn't she also a daughter-in-law at one point?

If I was her, I would've grabbed her by hair and whacked her!

I have work. I'll go. - Carry n.

Jayakka! - Huh?

Shall we recite the lines from our Power Star's movie?

No. Thanks.

If you do something, the entire world should leave.

You guys leave.

Cow-shit!

Three guys and there's not a single ounce of intelligence in them.

These morons eat everybody's heads.

SHRI KRISHNA FLOUR MILL SATTHIPALLI

THE BELLS DON'T WORK. MEN ARE NOT ALLOWED.

Lift it. The power will go anytime now.

Here's the money. - No need, Malli.

What? Why not?

I'll come home to take some ghee.

You want me to give you 100 bucks worth of butter for grinding 10 bucks worth of Ragi?

Why are you getting annoyed?

Tell me when no one's home, I'll come for a cup of coffee.

If you think of coming home, I'll whack you with my slipper.

Dear lord! Please go away.

Maheshanna, we have a film dialogue for you. Want to hear?

It'll send ripples!

Shut your trap and leave. Dunderheads!

No entry for men.

If you enter the mill, I'll break your limbs. No entry.

A girl's adorable, but a boy's despicable.

Well, if men are now allowed inside. Why are you there?

Rascals!

I'll have my revenge soon.

Amma, please sit.

Devudamma's here. Turn on the sound system.

Go on!

There's no electricity. How do we turn it on?

Why not?

Where did Nattu go? Why hasn't he turned the line on?

Call him, Jagga.

Why will he come?

What did he say? - He's not answering.

He must have gone to get something. He'll be back.

Oy!

Everything has been bought.

They're intentionally not turning it on.

What is this new drama?

They're doing this to insult Devudamma.

You know their true colours.

You better shut up! - Or what?

Oy! Stop it!

Enough with the cockfight? Go and find Nattu right away.

There he is. - The boy's here.

Nattu, wait... - It'll be fine, Amma.

I'll manage.

What's wrong, dude?

What's happening, Nattu? It's evening already.

Everybody's here for Devudamma's birthday.

Couldn't you have turned the line on, before coming?

Goud Sir, the thing is... - What are you thinking?

Go and turn on the grid first.

Quit waling time and tell us.

There won't be electricity today. - What?

What? Really?

He says so. - Let me check with the office.

There's an occasion in the village. How can they do this?

Don't call them, Shankaranna.

You don't want me to call them either.

Why not?

What is it with you now?

Didn't I tell you already?

This is their doing.

Didn't I tell you already?

He's just a show-off who acts as if he's lighting up the village.

Haven't we seen this act before?

What I mean to say is...

Why can't we use a lamp and celebrate the birthday without electricity?

What?! Are you kidding me?!

I've replaced the old bulbs with the new ones and

decorated the entire village, so that it can glimmer!

Do you plan to play hide and seek in the dark?

Have you lost it? - Quiet. Let me find out.

Listen guys! You can have the function in the morning or night.

Just get done with it.

I need to head home to watch the daily soap.

Jayakka, forget about electricity for a couple of days.

WHAT?! [IN UNISON]

Are you losing your mind?

Instead of beating the bush, tell us why you're not turning on the line.

He doesn't want the village to be a happy one.

That's why he's doing this. Don't we know about him?

Stop it you guys!

Shut your mouths!

Nattu, will you do it yourself or should I send someone?

Goud Sir, neither will I turn on the grid line.

Nor will I let anyone touch it.

What's happening here?

You've got your father's job. - You said it right!

But your father doesn't own the electricity, got it?

Ay! Mind your words.

Why are you scolding him?

Your son's not turning on the grid.

Tell us why.

What will you do?

Ay! Come at me!

Let go of each other! Stop it guys!

You think you can do anything? - Let go! Stop it now!

Why are you all so angry? Will you listen to me or not"?

Nattu! Stop it!

Everybody calm down and control yourself.

Nattu!

Tell us why you're refusing to turn the electricity on.

Only because you persistently forced me to attend this event, I'm here.

There must be a reason.

Tell us, man.

I'll tell you, Avva.

Turn the grid on.

Fine, Avva.

Everybody's waiting.

Come quickly. But be careful. Don't trip.

Amma!

Come here for a minute. - What for?

A bird has laid eggs.

Poor bird. It won't survive the heat.

Yeah. If I turn the grid on, it'll cause a lot of heat and radiation.

How would the bird know that this is a dangerous spot?

It laid the eggs here.

The eggs are done for.

How about I do this?

I'll move the eggs and... - Wait!

Don't you end up touching it.

It's mother won't ever go back to them.

Why's that?

Man is a sinner, my son.

If a human touches the eggs, it's mother won't incubate the egg.

They'll die if they remain here and I turn on the grid.

We can't do anything.

Hurry up. Everyone's waiting for us. Let's get back.

I won't turn it on.

Let's go. I'll manage somehow.

SO?!

The bird has laid eggs. But what do we do?

Well, Goud Sir!

Until the eggs hatch, why don't we...?

Live without electricity?

Hell no!

No way I'm doing that!

How the hell do I live without watching serials?!

Silly woman!

You know I can't live without watching my daily soaps and have hatched this plan.

Don't think I'm joking around about killing myself.

If I lose my cool, I'll write your name in the letter and die.

Woman! Stop it! Nobody cares about your shows.

How will I repair the mixers and TVs without electricity?

This won't do! I'll leave my husband. But I need electricity.

How will I grind the batter and make Dosays?

Throw the dosays out.

If there's no electricity, women won't come to my mill.

Tomorrow, I'll have to shut shop.

I can't bear the sight of women in my village suffering.

You guys deserved it.

He's using a distraction to make us look like fools.

Nattu, are you kidding?

Do you want our people to suffer until those eggs hatch?

Nattu, I eat 20 eggs a day.

I'll quit eating it for a month, just for you.

But please turn on the grid. - Razaq bhai!

It's not the same as the eggs you eat. This is different.

There'll be life in these eggs, right? - Oy!

Just because there's life in those eggs, you can't squeeze the life out of this village.

Speak some sense.

I've heard all of you speak all this while.

Can I say something now?

No life has to be destroyed or killed.

All of you are saying that I've helped deliver so many children and saved a lot of people.

You're here to celebrate my birthday.

But why are you speaking of death?

I think Nattu's words are just.

Didn't your parents live a peaceful life with a lamp and without electricity?

But if turn on the grid for electricity...

Over there, those eggs will be destroyed.

I will be carrying this sin on my shoulder.

Will I be able to live happily?

Does this make all of you happy?

Therefore, today on my birthday...

If you wish to...

If you wish to gift me something for my birthday...

Gift me the life of those four eggs.

Until those eggs hatch.

Let's listen to him.

Let's do as Nattu says.

There won't be electricity in our village.

This is my request to all of you on my birthday.

Avva, listen to me.

We get that you have good intentions.

Also, what's the guarantee that all of the eggs will hatch?

If it's about a human child, we could count.

If they're cattles, we could still keep a count.

Where did these birds come from?

How do we know as to when it'll hatch?

Until then, do you want the village to suffer?

Well said!

Mahadeva!

I was the one who delivered you.

When you were taking birth, they declared that you'll die from the umbilical cord suffocating you.

Yet, I still delivered you successfully.

Today, you're trying to teach me about this.

Bravo!

Bravo Mahadeva!

I agree to Amma's words.

Come on.

Only a childless couple know the pain.

I have no children.

At the least, let's watch the eggs hatch and turn into birds.

Everyone!

Devudamma is a great soul who's served this entire village.

A mother like her has made a request.

Her request will be our gift for her.

Nattu, as you say.

Like you said, we'll wait until the eggs hatch and turn into birds.

Shall we wait?

Well. Yes. Wait. No...

Does everybody agree? - Yes, Sir.

You agree, right? - Yes.

Does everybody agree? - Yes!

No more light. Perfect.

Since a decision has been taken, let's cut the cake now.

Why does it look like that? - What the hell!

Four teeny eggs?

Why are you troubling the entire village for these four tiny eggs?

I eat at least ten eggs for lunch.

Won't I share them with you, if you ask me for it?

Why do we need this trouble?

Bhai, you don't get it.

These eggs are different from the ones you eat.

I did it because these eggs hatch into birds.

That's irrelevant. Eggs are all the same.

In the end, they all land up in your tummy.

This is all a showy act.

He wants to brag that he's the only good guy in the village.

Mahadeva!

How will I become great by troubling the entire village?

What will I get out of it?

Why are you acting like the saviour of all the eggs in the village?

Quiet, Mahadeva.

Nattu, hearing you fight us all in the Panchayat,

I came by assuming these were some extraordinary dinosaur like eggs.

They're tiny like marbles.

Did you really fight us for these tiny eggs?

Goud Sir, the sign of the eggs didn't influence my decision.

There's life inside it. - You're right.

If you don't understand the sensitivity of the matter, who else will?

This braggart never runs out of words.

Let me wait and watch how these eggs will hatch.

Let's go, Goud Sir.

After seeing these tiny eggs, I don't feel like eating eggs again.

It's beautiful to look at.

I can trust anyone but not this Mahadeva.

That dimwit won't hesitate to ruin it all.

One of us should guard this spot every day.

Don't worry. I don't mind staying here and practising all the trending games.

Mornings are fine.

Evenings won't do. I'll have chores to attend to.

Such a chore. To look for Jhumki in the dark.

As if I've not seen that before.

Nattu, a packet of peppermint for me.

I'll savour it all day and stay here.

Guys, I'm depending on you until these eggs hatch and the tiny birdies come out for the villagers to see.

We'll have to protect these eggs with our lives.

Don't worry. We'll handle this one.

Let's see who'll dare to mess with us. - Let's go.

Don't do that, woman!

Give me dinner.

Amma, give me the mobile phone, please.

The battery's running out. I need to play PUBG.

Him and his games.

What will I do now?

The show was still midway...

What's wrong?

Appa, the battery's dead. You're done.

Dammit!

You kept pestering for the phone. There you go. Keep it.

So-called-husband. Here I come.

What's wrong? What else could go wrong?!

Of course you won't find anything wrong with it.

When the husbands leave home, the TV is all we have.

I kept telling my father not to do this.

To get me married to a man in a village without power cuts.

He claimed that this village was beautiful and got me married to you.

He gave me and a TV in hand to you.

Until now, all we had was that useless TV.

Just like my life, this house is also filled with darkness.

There's no power in the entire village.

Will you die if you don't watch the shows for a few days?

To hell with your blurry eyes. Look over there.

Look how electricity is shining through that home.

If only I was married into a home like that.

I'm not that lucky, am I?

I'll go to their home and watch TV.

Fine! Go. - What?!

I'll kill you if you keep giggling.

Shut up!

All he knows is how to giggle.

It's not just yours. It's the entire village's problem.

We got a UPS. My father had to gift that.

The battery's out of charge.

What can we do now? Tell me!

What do I do if the battery ran out of power?

You can't do anything right, can you?

Neither does the fan rotate, nor does the light come on.

Even the TV and mixer is of no use.

What's the point of having everything, when bad fortune's riding on your back?

What a wretched life I'm living!

This isn't just my problem.

Isn't everybody facing the same situation?

I don't care about others.

I need a generator.

Go and rent it right now!

Every day is a hassle in this house. This power cut is making it worse.

I wouldn't have faced this at my father's place.

Shut it! All you talk is about your home and father to torture me.

I'll arrange for a generator tomorrow.

Enough with this cacophony.

Men and their ego!

Goud Sir!

Who's it? - Sister, isn't your husband home?

Nope.

Home remedies' exports-imports specialist.

This Gulzar Khan is very famous around here.

Hasn't Goud Sir told you? I've got a new medicine.

I got it for Goud Sir right away.

Oh! So, it's all your recommendations.

Yes. It's me. Khan. Gulzar Khan.

Sir will be home soon.

I've been waiting to see you since a long time.

Come on in.

You're like God to us.

Come on inside the house.

I'll pray to your feet and sprinkle that holy water over my head.

Come in, Sir.

You'll pray to me?

I've never experienced that before.

Sure. Why not? Let's go inside.

Shall we go in? - Sure.

Sister, you said something about praying? - You rascal!

The issue lies in my husband.

How dare you feed me the medicine?

I'll thrash you! - Sister! Don't!

I'll teach you a lesson now. - Please, don't.

You wretched idiot! Where are you getting these medicines from?

I'll fall at your feet. Let me go. - You want me to have your medicine, huh?

Wait! Stop! Why are you beating him up?

Goud Sir! Save me. She's beating me up!

Beating won't do. He needs to be killed.

Everyday he's making me drink ridiculous things.

You move. I'll teach you a lesson today.

We brought him unnecessarily into our lives.

Who told that he can't have kids? The issue is in you.

Pipe down man! - Stop it, Goud Sir.

The doctor gave the medicine to you.

He didn't want you to feel bad and would drink it with you.

If you keep cursing a good man like him, will Allah approve it?

You moron! Why did you come home?

Get out of here.

I came with a country remedy with great results.

She invited me in and thrashed me.

Oh no!

Why are you punishing me like this, God?!

What a gem of a husband!

Yet I kept abusing him like an imbecile.

How do I wash this sin off? God!

How did I not realise that I was to blame?

Why are you crying? If not you, who will scold me?

Disagreements are common between a couple.

If we hide everything, how will we run the house?

Why are you letting an idiot bother you?

Wipe your tears now.

Why are you bothering about what others have to say?

I didn't know the defect is in me.

Why should you suffer because of me?

You've faced enough humiliation.

People in our village mock me saying my husband's impotent.

No need for that any more.

You should marry again and lead a good life with your children.

Idiot! Why are you talking like this?

You're my everything in this lifetime.

Listen carefully.

Manhood isn't decided based on his potency.

A real man is the one who's loyal to his wife.

If God does exist, someday, we'll have our own child.

Get up now. Don't take this to heart.

Oy! Mahesh brother! - Chitti!

Where's your mother? - At home.

Why did you come?

My mother asked you to take off the pants.

Kid, how do I take the pants off in broad daylight?

I don't know. She's asked me to get the pants.

Chitti, try to understand my plight.

I don't care. My parents are fighting.

Will you take it off or shall I? - You're being unreasonable.

How do I take the pants off in broad daylight?

Who asked you to take off your pants?

You've tied my father's pants to the grinder.

I asked you to take that off.

What?! Chitti!

Two more minutes and the world would've seen me naked.

My God!

You're here to kill me.

When there's no electricity, why do you need that pant?

My parents are fighting because of that. Give it now.

Take it.

Nattu, young kids are making me take my pants off.

I won't spare you.

Nattu!

Where are the boys? They're still not here.

I don't get what's taking them so long.

Dude! How long do you need to get here?

Why are you acting like a cat whose bum is on fire?

Where are the others?

Those dimwits left for lunch and haven't returned.

I'll leave now. I'm getting late. - But why? Stay back for a while.

What will you do after going home? - I've got an important meeting.

How will you understand?

Thanks to these eggs, the village will go dark soon.

I need to talk to Jhumki. Don't disturb me.

I figured.

What did you figure? - Seeing you prance around.

Nattu, listen to me carefully. - What is it?

Fall in love just once.

You'll see how love can electrocute you and light up your heart.

I can't waste time talking to you. I shall leave.

Jhumki!

Go on. How long do you plan to play hide and seek in dark?

One day, Jhumki will get stuck to your shirt.

Be Careful.

My mobile phone's out of charge. I'm very annoyed.

Why are we suffering unnecessarily?

I wonder when the eggs will hatch.

Only god would know. - Yeah, man.

Look how everyone's out of their homes after sunset.

If there was electricity, nobody would spend time talking to each other.

Now that there's no power, everybody's understanding the value of a village.

I agree with you.

When was the last time we gathered and spent time like this?

Ay! Stop messing with my pawn. You have a weaker one.

It's fun to play in the dark.

Grandma, why do you have to stay in the dark, all alone in this village?

Come with me.

My dear...

Light and darkness live inside us.

What's the point of leaving the village just because there's no electricity?

A village is like a family.

Every family has its issues.

We can't move in with our neighbours, can we?

When the village is living in the dark for us, what's the point in leaving it behind?

Behind light there exists darkness.

Darkness is followed by light.

In a life, where we have it all, yet have nothing.

There's so much and so little. That's the joy of life.

Grandma, seeing all this. I feel like living in your village for a few days.

I wish to experience the joy of living in this village.

Don't say no, please? - Why would I say no?

I'll tell Nattu to take you around the village, okay?

Thank you, Grandma.

Nattu is putting on the image of a hero with four puny eggs.

We're out of the village to have a drink.

Listen to me.

What is this fate of ours?

Give me your consent, Brother Mahadeva.

I'll see how our village won't get electricity.

Go and get my phone. It's on charge.

Hurry up!

Give it to me.

Go and sit now.

Watch what I do now.

Who's calling at this hour?

Hello? - What are you up to sir?

I was practising salsa, my dear.

Who is it, my child?

It's me. The friend of Satthipalli's village council head.

Sir, Nattu is troubling us all by not turning on the grid.

My dear, if I was at work, I would check for issues.

I'm not a lineman. - I don't care.

If you don't supply the electricity, we'll call the MLA.

Rightly said.

His driver has married my ex-girlfriend.

I heard about your problem, didn't I?

Shut up and disconnect.

Dammit!

What's wrong?

Man, my fate is screwed up.

There's the guy who pesters me about sparrows dying.

Here's a guy who won't supply electricity until the eggs hatch.

Everybody's making a fool out of me.

Bhaskar! - Yes, Sir?

I need a generator for home urgently.

I don't care how you'll get it.

Sir, it's not available close by. But I'll find it somehow and get it.

I'll leave now. - Okay.

Nattu! - Yeah?

Come here for a moment. - Coming.

What brings you here in the morning, Shankaranna?

What else can I do?

There's no phone, fan or a TV.

There's no peace at home either.

I fall at your feet.

Why do you say that?

What else do you want me to do?

You've disconnected the electricity supply with a good intention.

My wife at home, keeps cribbing that she's rendered handicapped without electricity.

No matter how much it costs, send a generator to my house.

I can't take this torture any more.

Don't mind me saying this, Shankaranna.

Your father helped the entire village.

Those who got his help, have blessed your family with a long and fulfilling life.

Just because you have money, if you get a generator now...

When the entire village's in the dark and only your house is lit up...

The villagers will start to envy your money.

They'll end up cursing you.

I hope you'll live a great life like your father and uphold his legacy.

Sorry.

If I said something wrong, forgive me.

I'll see you.

Jagga is waiting by the grid. I'll send him for lunch.

See you around. - Okay.

Your father helped the entire village.

Those who got his help, have blessed your family with a long and fulfilling life.

Sudha! Where are you?

Sudha, I'm exhasuted. Get me a glass of water.

You never stop feeling thirsty.

Let that be. What have you decided about what I asked for?

There's nothing to decide.

We'll do what everybody is doing.

We're no exception.

Nothing is going to change. We'll continue as it is.

So? You're not going to buy the generator one.

So, basically you want me to die from the heat and darkness, isn't it?

I'm not a nobody to go through all this.

If you can't arrange a generator, let me know.

If I ask my father, he'll send ten off them to my disposal.

Is your mouth taped? Why aren't you saying?

What do you want me to say?

Without being sarcastic all the time...

Try to understand the village's condition and ours before talking.

But... - But what?!

Just accept that you're incapable.

Mind your tongue. Think before you speak.

There can't be different rules for us and the village.

Why should I care about the village?

I'm not going to live this lowly life.

I should scold my father for having gotten me married without enquiring about you.

Enough with this drama!

I'm controlling myself because a real man never hits a woman.

Every single time you start blabbering about your father and home.

Why are you comparing your father with mine?

If anybody approached your father for help and came home, he would

slyly make them hand over their property in the name of loans.

But my father would find out who's struggling, go to their home and help them.

That is the difference between my father and yours.

I wish to protect my father's legacy and lead a respectable life in this village.

I don't care what you think.

This is how I'm going to live for my village.

If you wish to live here, adjust and live on.

Else, pack your bags and scoot from here.

I'm leaving! I'm not returning.

I can't live a moment without watching the TV soaps.

I'll be at my fathers. I'll watch the shows there.

You and your rickety bicycle.

If you leave me and go, what'll happen to my reputation?

Let's talk it out at home. Please come back.

The entire village's watching us. - Let them look all they want.

Not like I'm wrong.

How do you expect me to live in this paradise-like village of yours?

There's no water in the taps. Power-cuts are a daily thing.

The TV's malfunctioning just like you.

Everybody's bothered about useless eggs.

Don't do this, my dear. - Get lost man!

No! You can't convince me to stay back.

Balarajanna, what's your problem?

You moron! You're the problem.

Because you're not turning on the grid, our marriages are being pushed into darkness.

She's going to her mother's place. She's refusing to listen to me.

Look at him complaining. - Fine. Calm down now.

Jayakka, stop shouting on the streets.

Tell me what's wrong.

I don't care who's watching.

Have I ever troubled him to get me diamonds and pearls?

All I asked him was to get the TV fixed.

I can't live a day without watching my TV shows.

Even on that show, I'm scared of seeing the daughter-in-law suffer.

In the other soap, the husband after fighting with his wife,

is now having an affair with his colleague.

How do I live without watching them? I can't.

I'll go to my village. Only after the power's back, will I return.

Jayakka, don't jump to conclusions.

Jayakka, I understand your problem.

You wish to know what's happening in the soap, right?

Yes. That is it.

Go home. This evening, I'll show you the soap.

Okay? - Really?

Don't worry too much. Now go. Take her home.

I'll listen to you and leave.

Fine. If you don't, I'll take the 10 PM bus at night and leave.

You leave now. Take her.

You guys head home.

Move! Enough with your antiques!

You don't miss a chance to create a scene.

Come home and I'll put you in place.

Boys, come here!

Go to the next village and...

Tell me whatever you know. I'll inform the police.

Tell me what happened.

Anu, please don't leave me.

I can't live without you. - Mr. Sanju!

Let me go!

What are you doing?!

I don't have anybody but you.

Jayakka!

Do you know what happened in today's show?

I don't. What happened?

Anu stood here. - Okay.

Aryavardhan was here.

Mahadeva, what's wrong? - Disgusting!

He doesn't like to watch soaps.

He only watches movies.

Let's go have a drink. It's dark already.

I'll whack your brains out. Morons!

Nattu over there is bragging like a hero in the village.

All you can do is keep drinking.

Oh!

Is this what is bothering you? - What else?

Just like he turned the grid off.

I'll get a dozen eggs tomorrow.

Keep it on the village's water tank and

tell the village that there won't be water until they hatch.

How's my plan?

Dumbo! This useless talk is all you're good at.

I'm worried that the villagers will treat him like God if the eggs hatch.

Irresponsible fellows.

We'll see how the eggs will hatch.

Ay! What do you mean how?

The bird will incubate the eggs and they'll hatch.

Like you've seen it before.

That bird should not incubate those eggs.

What is he saying? Ask him to get to the point.

They are all guarding the egg one after the other.

When eggs hatch on their own, they're birds.

But if we break them, they're omelettes.

Siddha, he's right.

Everybody is here.

Even if somebody comes by, we can mug them and thrash them.

Everything will be fine.

What do you've to say?

You wait here. We'll return.

Let's go.

That was awesome.

[INDISTINCT COMMOTION]

We've to smash them eggs. - Yes.

Mahadeva, are all of you planning to smash the eggs? Wait!

Mahadeva, these four eggs have ruined our peace.

Exactly why it's time to put an end to this.

Our Goud hasn't had kids all these years.

You think these eggs will hatch?

Mahadeva!

Let's go.

Shut up everyone!

I've been watching you all blabbering shit.

Not only did you beat him up, you're blaming him for everything.

If you're angry with me, show it on me. Not on the eggs.

Let go! Stop this!

You scoundrel! You've crossed your limits.

How dare you go for my collar?!

If Raja's words are true, they won't even find your body.

Let go of me!

Both of them have been wrong.

You moron! - Let him go! Stop it!

Let me go! I'll bury him right here.

How dare you have your fun and blame my sister?!

Stop it!

Blame this idiotic village!

I can't believe everyone's constantly supporting him.

Ay! Shut up!

Calm down!

Why are you asking my son to shut up?!

Spit on the face of this witch who taught her son to do this.

To hell with her! - Shut up, you phony woman!

Your daughter fooled my naive son and got pregnant.

How dare you blame my son as if he's the wrong one here?

Shut up woman!

If you keep shouting, why do we need the council?

Tell us what needs to be done.

Ask them how much it'll cost.

I'll pay for it. Let them abort it.

To hell with your nasty tongue! May your family be destroyed!

What a nice thing to say!

Let other men in the village learn from this,

impregnate someone and ask them to abort it.

Let's all do that. What a thing to say!

That woman's right.

Speak sense. Don't utter shit!

We've lost respect.

Save our dignity by getting them married.

Let things happen as per her destiny.

My my! What a smart statement.

You've planned to take away everything by fooling my only son.

Get lost! This isn't happening.

Why are you saying such things?

Think before you talk.

Your son didn't steal something small to deny it.

This is the matter of this woman's dignity.

Girl, are you willing to marry him?

I'll marry no one else but him.

What about you? - I like her too.

Moron, do you promise to marry and take care of her?

Yes. I will.

Before we discuss marriage, Mahadeva has always threatened to kill my son.

He's my only son.

If they do something to him, what do we do?

Oh god! No!

Why are you talking like this? I was wrong indeed.

I was just angry that he did this to my sister.

If they marry, their life will be good.

Why would I ruin her life?

I swear on my mother. I won't do anything wrong.

I beg you.

There's a child in her womb.

Don't ruin her life. I beg you.

Fine, Mahadeva.

Both of them have erred unknowingly.

Let's forget this matter.

Let's find an auspicious day and get them to tie the knots in the Lakshmi temple.

Let's go.

The council ends here. Everybody go home.

You did the nice thing, Mahadeva.

Mahadeva, you were furious and threatening

to kill Murali for impregnating your sister.

The moment you realised your anger was ruining your sister's life.

You forgot everything and fell at his father's feet.

You did all of this because you couldn't see her hurt.

You went to destroy the eggs.

Let's assume, you broke them.

What if you'd destroyed them and it's mother came to find them gone?

Did you realise how much it would've hurt it, Mahadeva?

Do you know this?

Inside your sister's womb is a lifeform.

Even the eggs have life in them.

In this world, every soul has another soul waiting for it.

We don't have the right to steal it away.

We don't.

Forgive me, Nattu.

I made a mistake.

Not just you, my friends and I will guard the eggs.

Forgive me.

There are around 36 old poles! - 'Sir!'

Jyothi, Sir!

The sparrows are dying, Sir.

Do something, Sir. - Why did he come here?

Should I go and get the sweets? - You know what he wants, don't you?

I'll go and get it! - Jyothi Kumar, Sir.

Jyothi Kumar, Sir!

Are you getting me something? - Cashew or Almonds?

Get me something. I don't care.

Jyothi Kumar, Sir.

Sir, why are you silent? Please do something.

The sparrows are dying and I'm tensed about it.

But you're alive and that's making me tense.

Sir.

I'll do one thing.

If this continues, I'll stand with a dead sparrow and protest.

No can stop me. - Who's even stopping you?

Why are you dying deaths in instalments?

Die at once.

Nonsense!

I'm diabetic. Got it?

My sugar levels will go down if my blood pressure increases.

Got it? Don't.

If I get more tensed, my health will deteriorate.

Please understand my position.

Who will guide the sparrows? Please tell me.

You're a diabetic who hogs 3 boxes of sweets every time.

You villagers are killing me!

I can't take your torture. I'll get transferred elsewhere.

Really? Fine! Go!

Go on! Why throw blank threats?

If Jyothi leaves, Prakasha will take over to do the same thing you did.

I'm a PhD holder. I'm a genius and I've peaked already.

Do you know that? Go on!

What the heck's your problem?!

You keep shouting that the sparrows are dying!

The other guy in the village refuses to supply electricity until the eggs hatch.

Stop there!

What did you say?

Until the eggs hatch, he won't supply electricity?

Yep.

He's a legend.

He's a legend man!

I want to meet him! Where is he?

Give me his phone number.

Tell me!

Listen to me first.

He lives in Satthipalli.

Together both of you get all the birds in the world.

Just let me go. I beg you. - I'll let you go.

Go do whatever you want. - You want the number, right?

Yes. That's all. - Amavasya! Come here.

Remember the Satthipalli hero? Find his number and send it.

Sure. Please come with me.

Hold this bell and keep ringing it. It'll be useful.

Amavasya! He shouldn't come here again. Send him away!

How do I end up with such people?!

He sucked my soul away!

Nattu, you're humiliating us a lot.

A day will come when we'll be famous and you'll come to us for a selfie.

Look out for us!

Amma, I wonder if I hurt our villagers trying to protect those eggs.

Thanks to what you did, the entire village has united.

People have begun to understand each other much better.

Thanks to you, everybody is now bonding with each other.

Those eggs have proven that there's humanity left in humans.

Why are you worrying unnecessarily?

Carry on with your work. - Hello my boy!

[GIBBERISH]

Bugger off! - Fine leave!

You.. Let it be.

My boy! Che Guevara!

Woah!

My golden boy! - Who are you?

I didn't recognise you.

It's not important for you to know me.

It's important that the world knows who you are.

My god! You're a national talent.

Why are you wasting your time?

What a waste! Dammit!

What have I even achieved?

My god! - What happened?

Everybody impresses, but you touched my heart.

You're gentle and humble.

This is the first quality one needs to achieve something in life.

Were you always like this?

This is what is required.

The effort you put to save the birds is phenomenal.

It's not an ordinary feat.

The world needs to know.

I'll do it. Without fail

Give me a chance. I'll do it.

I'll have to do it. If not me, who will?

Our villagers know.

It's not a big deal. - My my.

What's the point if a couple of nobodies find out?

I'll ensure the entire world knows.

Thou shall tell the Cubans.

Every nation in the world knows.

I'll make it happen. Just give me an opportunity.

Now... [SPEAKS GIBBERISH]

Is it okay?

Even I'm not sure. I'm just going with the flow.

You got what I mean, right?

Manage it. Focus darling.

Did you understand my words? I shall leave.

Everybody thinks I'm a free coffee-sweet lover.

They don't know the truth.

That I really love sparrows.

For instance, can I tell you a story?

You know Tortoise?

When the waves hit, the tortoise gets pushed to the shore without its knowledge.

Once it's on the shore, it's worried about it's fate.

Once the waves pull her back.

The tortoise is glad to be back home.

About you...

You don't belong here.

You're destined for greater things. I'll take you there.

I'll make sure.

I'll make you world-famous. Just forget about your past.

No way! Stop telling me otherwise. I'm not listening to you.

I'll make you world famous. Keep watching.

Brother!

What a man!

In a village named Satthipalli, thanks to the work of a lineman named Nattu.

It's been proven that humanity still exists.

To protect four eggs until they hatch, he's refused to supply electricity to the village.

He got the entire village to agree to it.

Hats off to his belief that every soul on this planet has a right to live.

The entire village is living without electricity and are waiting for the eggs to hatch.

Come with me.

Let's find out about the village's experience and reactions.

Will I be on TV? - Yes.

Yes. Everybody calls you the TV serial aunty, right?

How are you managing without electricity?

I thought I would die without electricity.

Eventually, I got used to it.

The trio of my village - The good, the bad and the ugly.

They're much better than the TV-cinema artists.

I just can't take my eyes off them.

Okay, aunty. - Thank you.

HAIL NATTU! [IN UNISON]

I've not doing anything great.

Without Devudamma, this wouldn't have happened.

She did it all. The credit goes to her.

EGGS! [IN UNISON]

Only when a man lives in the dark, will he value light.

The entire village united because of the eggs.

HAIL NATTU! [IN UNISON]

I told Nattu not to turn on the grid even if Delhi calls.

I promised to handle whatever comes our way.

Nattu works in my department. He's great for having pulled this off.

EGGS! [IN UNISON]

Just check if all the footage has been recorded.

They're fine. I recorded them.

Don't panic and make me anxious.

Do we need more shots?

No need. We can make a film out of this.

Rewind them once and check. - I'll do it later.

There you go, Sir.

Here you go, Madam.

Thank you. - It's okay.

Hello? Are you married?

Not yet. - Then keep walking.

Ganguly, these villagers are such nice people.

They're living without electricity until those four eggs hatch.

That's great.

What's great about it?

These people are jobless. It's all a stunt.

As if this is newsworthy and we came all the way from Hyderabad for this.

Over there, Star Nalini is getting married for the fourth time.

If we'd covered it, we would've earned reputation and TRP.

You're killing me here.

You won't be able to live without electricity for 30 minutes.

Quit cribbing.

People are already disgusted with channels.

We can tell such stories and assure the public that the situation isn't as bad.

We are telling it, aren't we? Why get angry with me?

I'm not angry.

Covering this news, I feel like helping out these villagers.

But what can we do?

Do you want us to telecast the eggs hatching on live TV?

What are you even saying?!

That's enough. This is the final frame.

I was just kidding. If boss finds out, we'll lose our jobs.

If he finds out, we'll be promoted. Don't worry.

The lineman's here to check you out.

Hey Nattu! - Yeah, Madam?

Ask all the villagers to assemble together by the big tree.

Why, Madam? - To feed them.

We don't know when these eggs will hatch.

But if people see what they're struggling for, they'll be happy.

People have a negative feeling towards channels.

This is an attempt to reduce that.

Therefore, we've arranged a live screening of

the eggs hatching for the villagers to see.

This evening, all the villagers are assembling by the big tree.

We attempt to capture their feelings.

This isn't an attempt to capture four eggs hatching.

This is a scene that will tell the world that every soul on this earth has an equal right to live.

These guys are jobless.

Blame Pavitra for encouraging this.

Do we really need this? - Yes. People have assembled at the back.

Prepare the shot now. - Fine.

As if we're telecasting Titanic for the village to assemble and gawk at.

Morons have got me stuck in the middle of nowhere.

Make way for people to walk.

Mahadeva, why are you doing this?

Sister, we are still arranging the chairs.

Oh my god! Can I watch TV serials on this?

Sure. It'll show you the moon too.

What a grumpy man!

As if pearls will spill from his mouth if he talks with a smile.

I'll spill some later, come and collect them.

Where should I sit now?

Sit at the back, away from my sight!

Why should I? I'll sit right where you can see me.

Do as you please!

Really? I'll make sure there's no light on you.

Get me a chair. - Find one over there.

Brother-in-law, Mahadeva. Look over there.

Jayakka's in the front row to be the first to see the eggs hatch.

Fine I'll leave! What an annoying man.

As if nobody's seen this before. - Go to the back and disappear.

What an insolent woman!

The power will come back soon.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Greetings Grandma!

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Action, madam.

You'll never get to see such visuals again.

The entire village is here for four eggs.

They're waiting to see when it'll hatch.

This proves that kindness, love and humanity continues to thrive.
