Original subtitles

There once lived a king whose mighty empire

spanned from Moodanagudda and lasted till the Paduvana sea.

A caring wife and children to call his own.

Loyal subjects to whom their king meant everything.

A royal figure who had everything to lead a happy life.

He had everything except for peace of mind.

He visited numerous temples and took a dip in many holy ponds.

Despite performing various religious rituals and worshiping his ancestors,

sound sleep and peace of mind evaded the king.

But why?

With that very question in mind, the king consulted a soothsayer.

He said...

O' King, you possess everything.

However, until you find the blessing that will guide you like a father,

and unconditionally love you like a mother,

you shall not attain peace.

Where would I find it, Priest?

You need to search for it. All alone.

The king then set off.

He visited various pilgrimage centers. Met all kinds of spiritual guides.

But no matter where he went, the pain in his heart found no solace.

Assuming that there was no place or power that could give him peace,

the king went to the forest leaving everything behind.

As soon as he entered the woods, he heard the distant sound of an anklet.

The king halted right there and looked around.

Despite that sound, the king was unfazed.

Instead, it reminded him of his parents' affection.

The king starts walking in the direction of the sound

and stops in front of a stone and surrenders his weapon.

Tears well up in his eyes and he folds his hands with reverence.

Now the king's heart has found the happiness

he had been seeking.

That joy was like a mother's love and like the blessings of his father.

Right then...

As your king, I request you to entrust this Demigod to me.

I'm ready to give you anything for it.

My dear King!

Ask us for anything, but not our Demigod Panjurli.

So, you want me!

The Panjurli Demigod, huh?

I want nothing but You, Panjurli.

I shall come along with you.

But I belong to this village.

If I bestow you with happiness and peace, what will you give my people?

Whatever You ask for.

You will grant all of the land across which the sound of my voice traversed.

Remember, I'll be accompanied by my Compatriot spirit, the ferocious Guliga.

Should you err, even if I forgive you, the guardian deity Guliga won't.

You have my word, Panjurli.

The king decorates his palace and his empire with flowers.

The king brings the Demigod with much more joy

than he was happy when his son was born.

Since then, the king's life saw no dearth in harmony, joy and peace.

The villagers' Demigod was now in the lap of the king.

The king's vast land was now in the hands of the villagers.

It has been a grand festival at the king's palace ever since.

Then why is the current landlord asking us to return this land?

After all, this is their land, son!

There is nothing wrong if they ask us to return it.

But we're here to serve Panjurli.

Where can we go forsaking our Gods?

Son, do you know where we humans go wrong?

We assume that we own everything around us.

But forget the reality of the true owner of it all.

Once we become aware of the truth, we can live peacefully.

I didn't come all the way from Bombay to watch Kola.

Settle this land issue on priority.

Do you even hear yourself?

This land was donated by our ancestors to serve the Demigod.

Since then, our family has been living peacefully.

That's enough!

Wasn't it given as charity back then?

Do you even know how much these 101 acres of land costs?

If we take this land back, we can lead a life with dignity.

It doesn't work that way.

Asking for the land back would mean going back on the word given to the Demigod.

You and your Demigod can take a hike!

I'm sick of hearing this all the time.

I have witnessed many such performances before.

This is our ancestral property.

I have as much right over it as you do.

If you can't ask for it, then take a step back,

I'll handle this in court.

I present you the sacred offering and invite you to wear the anklets.

I humbly accept your invite and seek the permission of audiences to wear the anklets.

O' Landlord!

It's the twilight hour, O' Landlord!

It's a practice to address your questions in my court.

Do you have any questions, Landlord?

-Panjurli? -Yes!

As of now, I have nothing to ask for.

I do.

What?

This place, this property, this land.

None of these belong to the villagers.

-What nonsense! Please keep quiet. -It's not yours.

It's mine.

And I want it all back.

That's a great question, Landlord!

I'll ensure it's returned to you.

I'll ensure the villagers' land is returned to you.

But can you return the peace I have blessed you with all these years?

Okay! So, you can't do it for my sake?

No problem. I know where to get my job done.

So, you will go to the court?

But I shall pronounce your judgment on those very stairs.

The land belongs to the villagers.

That decision will not be made today.

A day will come in the distant future.

It belongs to the villagers?

Is this the Demigod speaking? Or is it the performer?

Is it the Demigod or the performer? Let it be decided today.

If it indeed is the performer, may you find me again.

However, if it is the Demigod...

Shiva!

Did he really disappear?

Of course he did.

Wouldn't he have returned otherwise?

What if he was killed?

If so, wouldn't we have found his body?

That's right.

Do you want to see that mysterious place in the forest?

A fire was ablaze across the place he went missing.

But the fire didn't illuminate the forest,

instead it pushed it into further darkness.

What about the landlord?

He died vomiting blood on the stairs of the court.

So, you will go to the court?

But I shall pronounce your judgment on those very stairs.

-What a powerful Demigod! -Of course.

Even today, the Demigod protects this forest and this village.

Is He so powerful?

Let the festivities begin!

WARM WELCOME TO GUDDI SUDHAKARA, A RAY OF HOPE TO THE POOR

Who made this banner?

No clue.

If you find out, ask him to meet me.

Give me the garland.

The landlord is here.

Come on, everybody stand up.

Today in this Kambala festival...

Hey, why have you brought this? It is meant for the dead.

-Is that the landlord? -Yes.

Is he the son of the guy who died vomiting blood?

-Yes. -Did nothing happen to him?

What nonsense! He is a goodhearted person.

-Get ice candy for the kids. -What is the matter with his child?

No point talking about it.

LUCKY DIP 1ST PRIZE MOTOR BIKE

-Could one get this bike for real? -The winner surely can.

As Mr. Suttur has taken time out of his precious time to visit us,

we wholeheartedly welcome and thank him.

On behalf of Keradi family...

-Hope everything is ready. -Yes, it's done.

-Hey, look! Your wife! -I request you to make this event

-a grand success. -Check out her glances!

Check out this teeth.

One look and you know it's an experienced one.

Please give a round of applause.

We request Mr. Sudhakar

-to start the race. -You brought so less Jalebi.

-Will there be Kola? -Definitely.

Who's performing it this year?

As per tradition, Shiva must be the one to perform.

He's an irresponsible fellow.

His cousin, Guruva, will be performing.

Do come to watch the Kola. Don't miss it.

Bring your wife, too. We'll have a blast.

The race is about to begin...

Hit me!

-Yes, I was flirting with your wife... -I will kill you...

We are now witnessing

Kaadubettu Shiva's buffaloes entering the field.

Welcome him to this race!

Forge ahead!

-Come on, Shiva. -That was awesome, Shiva!

Look.

Shiva, you beat your previous record by two seconds!

That was splendid racing!

Will our buffalo win at least this time?

Just win? It will break all records.

They are all set.

It doesn't matter who wins. They are our people, after all.

Run!

Run!

Shiva has won the race.

Shiva, slow down. I'm tired.

-Tired? Did you run the race? -Give me the booze.

-Pour it. -Shiva, it's hot.

Give it I say. I'm the one drinking.

Charge!

-Sudhakar, I'm leaving. -Already?

Madhav, give me a drag.

Man, our buffaloes were fantastic today!

The buffaloes are running with all their might in Kambala.

But ironically,

the owner ends up getting the medal.

This oldie is crazy.

Come on! Try your luck.

Make it double. Bet for one and take home four!

-I bet Prabhakar. -I bet on Silk Smitha.

-Shiva has won. -Yes!

-Give me the prize! I won. -Brother Shiva...

Shiva, the landlord's buffaloes finished six seconds later than ours.

Let's go.

Wait. I'll bet on Silk Smitha again.

You are not that lucky enough. Come on.

Has taken time out of his precious time to visit us...

-Congratulations! You won a bike. -We welcome him wholeheartedly.

-Lucky you! -And we thank him...

Brother, I don't know how to ride a bike.

On behalf of the Keradi family,

we thank all the 50 buffalo owners who participated in the event.

The third place in today's race goes to Thumbebailu Mahesh.

Big round of applause!

He bagged it!

The second place goes to Kaadabettu's...

To our very own Shiva.

What?

The first place in today's race goes to Mr. Devendra Suttur.

Oh, finally! Our landlord won!

-Which bastard said so?! -Shiva!

If rookies turn into judge, this is what happens!

What did you just say? How did he win?

-You stay out of this! -Shiva, mind your language!

You have to agree to the decision. You have lost.

Who do you think you are? Speak up, you moron!

-Do you even know to judge? -Speak to me, don't involve my father.

Bastard! The whole village has witnessed the race.

-Dimwit, you're the moron! -Hey, you scoundrel!

Your father and your family are beggars.

You have cheated for the sake of money.

You dare hit us!

I'll finish you right away!

You guys are destroying the reputation of the village...

Handle the mic with care.

How dare you abuse my father?

You illegitimate dog of the landlord!

How dare you abuse my family!

I will kill you!

Landlord!

Move aside!

Smash him!

Wow! Shiva's smashing them!

Don't you see him getting beaten up?

-Whose side are you on? -I'm on the winner's side.

Go and thrash him!

Thrash him!

God! He's looking at me.

Mom! You are hitting me?

You wretched dog!

Let's clean ourselves at the pond.

The mud has entered the unmentionable places.

Scoundrel!

When the village is together celebrating, how dare you guys fight instead?

You wretched dog!

He started it all. How can I keep quiet?

So? You guys just fight?

He's been winning for the last three years.

He's one of us. So let's support him.

Go bring the medal.

Dammit!

-Could it be Scotch? -No clue.

-Hey, Shiva. -Yes, sir.

If you're pissed with me, vent it out in front of me.

No need to create ruckus in front of the villagers.

Sorry, Landlord.

-Things go out of hand when I'm drunk. -Oh...

So, it can be worse?

Yes... No!

Winning it consecutively for the fourth time.

-God bless you. -Thank you.

Amazing, Shiva!

We are all from the same village.

We have to live in harmony until the end.

-What do you say? -You're right.

This is for the Kola celebrations. Make sure it's grand.

-Let me know if it doesn't suffice. -Okay, sir.

Okay, then.

What is it?

Go on. Take it.

We waited all this while for this!

The landlord is so fond of us!

He thrashed his own men in front of us.

You should have seen his face when he got thrashed.

I felt very sorry.

Hey, Mala, Susheela!

Where are you off to?

Look at their attitude!

Where is your sister?

Look at them making faces!

Hey, Rampa, our landlord is a good man.

He's the only one who gives us a party without asking.

Time for some soda!

What the hell's wrong with you?!

Celebrate our victory, man!

What rubbish!

Damn! What is this? Don't you have a plain one?

It's ginger-flavoured. Didn't you like it?

He doesn't have what I want.

-How much is it? -Don't worry, it's on me.

Really?

You take the bike and go to Kailasa. I'll join you in a bit.

-Hey, Abbu! All good? -Yes.

-Didn't you go to the mosque? -You think I live there?

Shiva is bad company for my son, Lacchu!

Hey, Ms. Vasanthi!

-Hope he doesn't lose his way... -Move aside!

-Use the horn, monkey! -Hello.

-Finally the medal is yours. -Of course! It's gold plated.

-Where is Lacchu? -What?!

Shiva!

-Hello, Uncle. -Hey, Shiva.

This is the landlord's donation for the Kola.

Let me know if it does not suffice.

Has there ever been an instance where he hasn't given enough?

Hey, Guruva! This time too the medal is ours.

Everybody knows that you won. This was not needed.

Why should I let go of what's rightfully mine?

-I need your blessings. -It's okay!

Man, he really got Mohan yesterday. Felt sorry for him.

Kusum.

You stay here. I'll come.

Why do you need medicine? What happened?

I saw something last night and freaked out.

-What did you see? -It was me.

But he is not telling the truth out of fear.

Oh...

So that's why he was scared!

The fighter cock is here.

You called him useless but he managed to get the medal.

He didn't get it for the race, but for wrestling.

He's the black sheep of his family and this village.

Hey, Kapil and Dev.

There's only one medal. Kindly adjust.

Where's mother?

Hasn't she fed you yet?

It's right here.

Good!

Eat well.

Next year, we should break this year's record.

If we win, I'll get two medals.

What did you hunt, Lacchu?

A hen.

A hen? You didn't have to hunt it.

You could have just caught it.

-A wild hen, dude. -Oh, is it! Where is Rampa?

He asked me to leave, he will be back in a while.

Shiva, when will you teach me to ride the bike?

Rampa will train you to ride.

He is out training someone else right now.

Shall I go and join him?

Don't interrupt the ride midway.

The bike may jerk to a halt!

This is for Rampa.

This too.

Let's finish it off before he comes.

Bulla!

Damn, he's here!

-Did you take a shower? -I didn't get time.

Why is there mud on your knees?

Did you fall off the bike?

Well...

You eat.

Rampa, I heard you ride well.

I want to ride too.

Shut up and eat.

Hey, this is not boar meat!

Guys, shall we go hunting tonight?

Yes.

Shiva! Where is that dog?

Let me get my hands on him! I'll thrash him!

Hey! Shiva! Where are you off to?

Weren't we going in the night to hunt?

-Then why did he run now? -No clue.

-Bulla, look! -Shiva...

Kamala is walking upside down!

-All the shameless gang is sitting here. -Look at the stick in her hand!

-Hiding on the tree top! -Hey, run.

I will wait until he comes down.

Didn't I tell you not to hunt wild boars?

You're fit for roaming the streets like a dog!

Damn! Who told you we hunted a wild boar?

Shut up! You shameless liar!

Kamala, we really hunted a wild hen.

Not a wild boar. Check if you want.

Dimwit! You stay out of this!

Had you gotten married at the right age,

you'd have had kids by now.

Would you have spoiled them like this?

Despite your age, you have no brains!

What can I do if you got married at 13?

Why are you laughing?

Do you think it's funny? Just wait, I'll teach you a lesson.

-I came to Rampa to learn to ride! -Kamala!

What's the matter with you?

You think you're a teenager?

Hope you remember we studied together in the school.

I don't want to remember your stupidity.

Kamala, are you high? What makes you speak like this?

Shut your mouth!

You, come home!

Your funeral awaits you!

I'll go dumb screaming at him.

What a crazy woman! This is exactly why I quit school.

Really?

Let's cancel tonight's hunting plans.

Today is your wedding night, right?

Bugger off!

We've been up all night hunting.

We decided to offer it first to you and came by.

Sir, please don't mind.

It's a small wild boar.

Next time, we'll hunt a big one.

You are the keeper of this forest.

Irrespective of its size, it's our duty to offer you the meat.

You are right.

The DFO is here!

-Hello, sir. -Hello.

-Please leave me. -How are you doing?

Doing well, sir.

Sir, please!

-No. -What's that sound?

Sir, some repair work is going on.

Will you hunt again?!

-Will you hunt again? -Please save us, sir.

Murali!

Are you acting smart because there is no RFO in this division?

At this rate, they will hunt all the animals in the forest.

So?

If you torture people in your custody, they will torture you outside.

This is a sensitive area.

If you don't learn to handle the people, the road ahead looks tough.

Listen, I don't eat meat on Thursday.

You can go.

How many survey poles have been moved from here?

Finish the survey soon and submit the reports.

There are three villages left apart from Kaadubettu.

Hey, why are you in such hurry? Walk slowly.

Hey! Who are you?

-Who is this bald man? -I don't know.

Come here.

What's all this?

I'm asking you. What is this?

-Different kinds of produce... -I know that.

Do you have permission to take all this from a reserve forest?

What for? Every year, we take all this from the forest for the Kola.

Don't you know it's an offense to cut wood in the forest?

Guys, today let's hunt at least four wild boars.

-Why? One is enough. -Hey, come on.

If you are caught again, I will send you to prison.

Hey, forest officer! Hide!

-We are not stealing. -I know better than you.

Take these and go from here.

-Where should we get the produce from? -Don't you know the law?

-Come, let's see what the matter is. -You tell us then.

That's not my problem.

So what can we do now?

Henceforth, you have to take my permission if you have to do anything in the forest.

What's the issue? Why has everybody gathered here?

-Shiva. -Yes?

Sir says we need his permission to bring produce from the forest.

Is it? Do we have to take permission?

The government won't spare you if you don't.

Dammit! We've been living here much before your government came into the picture.

If you think about it, you need our permission.

Do you have it? Speak up.

No, right?

You don't need any permission. You can go.

Okay. Come on.

You guys leave. It's so damn hot!

It's a big deal we let you in the forest!

A map?

Hey, where can I find Parapaade on the map? Please tell me.

-They are also searching for the same. -Is it? Tell me once you find it.

Okay, carry on.

Let me know if you find it.

-Ravi. -Sir?

-Patrol near Parapaade tonight. -Okay, sir.

Lacchu, have I told you

-my grandfather's story? -Damn! There he goes again!

-Yes. -1850.

This was the time of the kings.

It was the reign of King Marthanda Gajendra Singh.

The king and my grandpa Thaniya, the brave warrior, were close friends.

King Gajendra Singh was fond of hunting.

They hunted 14 wild boars

-in the course of their banter. -Is it!

When they went ahead, they found another one.

-A wild boar? -No, dude. It was a tiger.

Oh! What happened?

-After that-- -Shh!

-What is it, Shiva? -What happened?

Hey! What is it?

I didn't spot anything. Did you?

I can't spot anything but tigers.

Quiet.

Slowly.

-Hey, Shiva! What happened? -There was nothing.

-Did he fire in the air? -He saw something, that's why he shot.

-I didn't see anything. -I didn't see it too.

-Shiva! -Let's go from here.

-Lacchu, where were we in the story? -I don't remember.

The tiger was eyeing the king as its prey.

But the king was looking at the tiger as his prey.

The king took out the gun and pressed the trigger.

-Then what happened? -Boom!

-What's that? -Boom boom!

-What's happening?! -The bloody gun didn't fire.

The tiger came pouncing at the king.

Suddenly, my grandpa grabbed the king's gun.

He rammed it against the ground, gave it a jerk,

aimed it to the ground and took his shot.

Boom! The gun fired and the tiger died on the spot!

How did the tiger die if he aimed the gun at the ground?

The bullet bounced off and hit the tiger.

It died on the spot!

What a useless gun it was, Rampa!

Hey! That very gun was gifted to my grandpa

in the grand court of the king.

Oh, as it was useless.

-Shh! -What happened?

That's a boar.

Damn! I would've shot it if it was a tiger.

Hey, stop!

It's wounded. Let's chase it!

I heard a sound from this side.

Rampa, shoot it!

He's useless! Why did you bring him?

I'm not going to use this old man's gun.

If you come hunting again, I'll break your leg!

Fire quickly!

I can't fire with this gun!

Go to the other side and shoot, you moron!

Let's go to the other side, bonehead?!

Stand away and shoot, else you will shoot me here.

You too are useless like this gun.

Stop! Come on.

I don't know how to use a gun.

No wonder people call you a boar.

Didn't I tell you about my grandpa's gun?

It's not just a gun. It's a missile.

Look, such a big one!

Bloody!

It's so huge! Must be Bulla's lost relative.

Let's hunt another one.

Don't be an idiot. We can't do it all over again.

One is enough. Let's go back.

Is this all you're capable of?

Okay, then. Tie it up quickly.

-Shiva? -Yes.

Didn't we shoot a boar here? Let's find it.

We won't find it. Let's go.

Let's try and look here.

Look all over and you'll find your grandpa's remains.

Rampa, did your grandfather fight a lioness?

If your mother finds out about this hunt, she'll thrash you.

I won't let her know about it.

That portion of the meat is for the landlord.

The other portion is for my grandpa's gun.

Okay, cut the meat now.

Did you have your dinner?

The evil stays away by it.

It seems like...

Say it many times, but it doesn't make sense to him.

I'll kill you today.

Wake up, you imbecile!

Did you go hunting again? You just won't listen!

-Hey, Mom, what's wrong? -Do you think of yourself as a hunter?

You will be punished if you wake someone from sleep, Mom.

-Wait! Where are you running? -Shiva, we're hungry. Got anything to eat?

No, my mother will give you an earful! Run!

You guys are here?! You're the one spoiling him.

Kamala, listen to me.

Rampa, come.

Dimwits! Wait for me!

-Did it hurt? -Not really.

He's used to it.

Yes!

Shiva, you were not there at Kailasa last night?

Mother was home and was scared to sleep alone.

I went home to be with her.

If I were you, I would've brought another mother by now.

-Drop me at Madhav's shop. -Okay.

-Madhav, how are you? -Good.

You guys carry on. I have to get my bum repaired.

-What? -Sorry, my gun repaired.

Thimmappa, take them in.

Get the others to unload the vehicle.

Come on, get up.

-Yes, Sudhakar? -Sir...

The thing is...

If payments keep getting delayed, how do I get the labor folk?

I'm helpless too.

Since the RFO is suspended, none of the bills are getting through.

Sir, you are doing most of his work.

I wish you could do something about the payment too.

Give me some time, Sudhakar.

-I'll get it done. -Okay, sir.

Sir, the landlord had invited you home. I'd told you.

-I forgot. -You didn't go yet?

No. I'll go.

-Okay, then. I'll take a leave. -Okay.

-All good? -Yes.

Sir, we heard two gunshots in the forest yesterday.

-Hunting has taken place for sure. -But we didn't find them.

However, we found this near Parapaade.

What's this?

The head ornament of the Demigod.

Seems ancient.

It commands more respect than a King's crown.

Looks like a massive boar!

Yes. Weighs 40 kilograms.

If it's leg weighed 40 kilos, did the boar weigh 500 kilos?

-Nonsense! -We meant the boar weighed 40 kilos.

-Mohan. -Sir.

There is a bag on the table inside, bring it.

Okay, Landlord.

One more thing.

Ensure that your land documents are in place.

The department has begun the survey.

Really?

-Why else did I call you over? -But they didn't inform me.

Keep quiet.

-Do as I asked you to. -Okay, sir.

You've been nodding your heads for many years now.

Our people don't understand these things.

If you don't understand, you must ask me.

Why the hell did you call me here?

Calm down, man. Take it easy.

If we don't get it, you'll handle it, right?

Of course, I'm here.

Next time, see if you can hunt something with spots.

-Got it? -Sure.

Let the Kola get over.

What does he mean by spotted? A leopard?

Deer, you idiot!

Give it here.

Take it. I'll take a leave.

We will eat it on the way.

-Hey, Jagga. Mohan. -Yes, sir.

Load these grains and vegetables in the officer's jeep.

-Take it. -Pick them up.

Please come.

-What's all this? -You're our guest.

How can I send you back empty-handed?

Come, let's chat over a cup of tea.

I hope things are going fine in the village.

I hear you're set to conduct a survey in our village.

You know our people, right?

They're uneducated.

I suggest you grin and bear with it.

The previous officer was on good terms with me.

Please ensure that we don't face any troubles.

I'd say it's better if you ensure that there is no trouble.

My work will be on.

Let me know when there are festivals.

I'll come over for food.

My wife isn't at home, you see.

She left me because I don't grin and bear with things.

-See you. -Sure.

Sir, this is the boundary of the forest department.

Encroachment has been noticed in these two regions.

This belongs to Devendra Suttur. And this to the villagers.

I have issued notice to the concerned parties.

Sending notice to the villagers won't work.

You have to convince them.

Sir, these villagers are a little bonkers.

If you confront them, they pounce on you.

All government officers say the same story.

But it shouldn't become the excuse for our incompetence.

Such beauty!

Such beauty!

Such beauty!

In the voice of Padanna!

O' Priest!

O' Landlord!

What do you think lies ahead for all of you?

-Will it be the poison or the elixir? -If it's poison, let God take care of it.

If it's an elixir, let this village savor it.

Let the procession begin.

I'm elated!

Such beauty!

Narrate the story until morning

Until the journey of life is over!

Narrate the story until morning

Until the journey of life is over!

Is it a story or a tale of grief?

It's truly a sad thing

What's that?

Kola procession has begun.

It's an annual ritual that is celebrated.

Take out the vehicle.

I heard the forest officer was acting too smart the other day.

Had I been there, I'd have taught him a lesson.

You seem like an angry man, aren't you?

When I get angry, I can't tolerate injustice.

My...

-You emptied it? -Yes.

-Dammit! We should've got more. -Shiva.

-Yes. -Can you return my bike key?

-Why? -Sister Leela is here.

She'll teach me to ride the bike.

-When did she come? -Did she finish her training?

Yes. If she gets the job, she will earn 1,000 bucks a month.

-What? -1,000 bucks.

One thousand?!

Give me a minute. I'll be back.

Her salary seems to have made him fall in love with her.

Thousand bucks in a month is great.

-Shiva. -Yes?

Come here.

What happened, Mom?

Don't drink too much today.

No, Mom. I pledged that I won't drink.

-I'll be present all the time at the Kola. -You keep roaming around.

Ideally, you should be the one performing Kola.

But you're so irresponsible.

I don't want to get involved in all these things.

I have no plans to vanish like her husband did.

-I want to enjoy life. -You and your enjoyment.

The landlord is here.

I'm coming.

-Sir, this is my sister, Girija. -Hello.

Hope you're doing well.

Alright.

Hey, Shiva!

You look pretty suave.

Hey, Leela!

Bloody hell, she did not talk to me.

Or have I become thin, that's why she did not recognize me?

Hey, Shiva.

I called you, didn't you hear?

Offertory is being served. Kindly proceed to the dining area.

Offertory is being served...

Where did she go?

Oh, there she is!

-Move it! I'll serve this line. -What happened?

Salad... Ivy Gourd.

Salad.

-Shiva. Leela's here. -Yes.

-Her training is over. -Is that so?

-Nice! -Shiva, pass the bucket.

Shiva, that's enough. Others have to eat too.

It's okay. Enjoy.

He's always been like that. He is very fond of me.

Ivy Gourd salad, from me.

Here, take this brinjal.

Do you want some more Sambar?

Acting cocky, huh?

Don't you remember me?

You might have completed your training.

No need to get cocky with me.

-Hey! -I just bit the bullet.

-What happened? -I pinched her!

Whoa! Sir is also here for the Kola?

Greetings, sir.

-Bless us, Panjurli. -Greetings, sir.

-Hey, Shiva. -Yes?

Guruva dances really well.

But no one can match the grandeur of your father.

The forest officer is here.

Let him be.

Hey! Who asked you to burst them?

-I do it every year. -Give me the bag.

What?

What are you doing?

He's already picked a fight with Abbu.

-Come, let's go. -Rampa, come on.

Hey!

Stop!

Who asked you to take this?

Hey!

-What? -Sir.

-Give me the bag. -What?

-Give it to me! -Why?

I don't want to hear the sound of crackers again.

What do you mean? How can crackers be soundless?

Does your Demigod dance only to the sound of crackers?

Looks like you're drunk and blabbering nonsense.

You're crossing your limits now.

This showy spectacle of yours is causing harm to wild animals.

Don't you get it?

Showy?! You guys heard that?

Did the wild animals drop by and complain to you?

Ask them to file a case. We will handle it in court.

If they do so, will your Demigod argue on your behalf?

Hey, what's your problem?

You don't seem to like us.

-Sundar. -Wait!

If you have power, shall we put our foot down?

-Hey. -Wait!

Come back!

Shiva, I can't control my anger.

How dare you speak wrong about our Demigod!

Do you know the story of our Demigod? Should I narrate the story to you?

Somebody narrated it to your father and he narrated it to you.

You have been roaming like a nomad narrating that story to everyone.

You are jobless anyway.

So, you're talking about my father now.

If you stop us, should we listen to you?

Looks like there's some tussle going on. Come, let's go.

You carry on, Landlord. I'll join you.

Hey, Abbu. Give me the cracker.

We will burst it. Every moment. Stop us if you can.

Shiva, stop! Step back! What's your problem?

When the Kola is in progress, what are you doing here?

When we burst crackers, why is he getting so furious?

You're at the Kola for the first time.

Take the offerings. Why get involved in petty fights?

-You've gone too far! -Let's go.

Keep at it and I'll put an end to your silly traditions and celebrations!

Try stopping us if you have the balls to do so!

I'll make sure you don't get out of here alive! Beggar!

Come on!

This is of no use.

Sir, please come.

What are you up to?

Is this the way to behave with a government officer?

Please carry on, sir.

Hey, go from here. Don't fight.

-Get away! -Sir, please leave.

-Don't act like crazy people! -Move it.

-What happened? -He wants to stop the Kola.

He wants to stop the Kola? Give me a sword. I'll kill him!

You shouldn't have stopped me, sir.

I shouldn't have? Watch the Kola now.

What the hell, man!

Did you have a nightmare?

Shiva, I think you will never overcome this.

Couldn't you scoundrels come home after the Kola and sleep?

The whole year, you all keep roaming like cavemen around the village.

There are times when I feel like adding poison to your tea!

How are you able to live this life?

That's the fun part!

Useless people, go wander only after eating food.

-Is Shiva home? -He's inside.

-Okay. -Hey, Leela, you've plumped up.

I'll see you later.

Shiva!

-Hey... -What's wrong?

Did you wake up now?

I think she has informed her father.

I was the one who pinched her last night!

-Who did you pinch? -He pinched her.

-Where? -She can't even reveal it where.

Shiva, I need to have a word with you.

It was just a joke.

A joke?! You did it intentionally.

-No, it was just for joke... -It's okay if it was a joke.

But I'm happy for what you did.

Aren't you upset?

Why would I be upset? I was happy instead.

Isn't it, dear?

At your age, even I did the same thing.

You have my full support in this matter.

-Thanks! -What a useless father!

What exactly are you referring to?

I'm talking about Shiva confronting the forest officer.

Yeah, right.

What happened?

Nothing much.

I forgot what I came here for.

Please tell me.

Her training is done.

What's that called?

Forest department guard training.

Exactly! Can you speak to the landlord and get her a job in this village?

Is that all? Of course!

Let's go to the landlord right away. If you're busy, I'll take her.

I'm free.

Really? Let's go then.

-Anyway, I have your support. -Of course, come soon.

He'll be back.

Please don't. We don't take money.

Ah! Snuff.

Dad, can he really get me the job?

Oh, God!

It's you! I was wondering what poked me.

Make her sit in between.

Women's safety is of utmost importance.

Make her sit.

Please sit, dear.

Greetings.

-Landlord, greetings. -What is it, Shiva?

This is Leela. She's been trained as a forest guard.

What is he staring at?

This one's mine.

-Help her find a job, please? -Sure. Why not!

It'll be done.

O my beloved

You are mine I say this to the world

Whenever I close my eyes I find only your face

Focus on your work.

If you are in my life

Then what is the sorrow

It's delicious.

I have fallen for you

I have lost myself in you

I have won the world

I have lost to your love

The film is on despite the power cut.

-Hey, she is your daughter. -Huh?

-Leela! -When did Shiva become a hero?

-Wow! This villain turned a hero. -Come on, run.

-Rampa? -Well...

I was showing her the crescent moon.

When you are with me

I don't bother about the world

As I dwell in your love

-I remember you... -He is imitating me.

You have become a part of me

I have found a reason for my life

My life dwells

In your beautiful smile

You dwell in my eyes I find you everywhere I see

Only you are

-In front of me every moment... -He is lucky, man.

-Useless fellow. -You have whispered in my ears

No one is aware

Please hug me

No one is aware

-Want to visit the landlord's factory? -No.

Come on.

Seeing your golden face

-I started going crazy... -What is it?

Let the world not cast an evil eye

On my beautiful face

What have you done to my heart?

My heart has gone out of control

Now that you are mine I have taken a promise from you

Now that I know That you are my life

My life dwells in you

Only you are

In front of me every moment

You have whispered in my ears

No one is aware

Please hug me

No one is aware

How are you, Shiva?

-Come on, get down. -Why here?

The mongrel's over there.

Thanks.

Careful.

You'll come in the evening, right?

Raghu, she's one of us.

-Leela! How are you? Good? -Yes.

-See you, Raghu. -Okay.

I don't care if it's the previous officers' or the villagers' fault.

Today, the government should get back the land.

Ravi, what's the update?

Sir, the cops and the tahsildar will come to the spot.

What about Sudhakar?

He said he will come with the laborers directly.

Murali, the way you are proceeding in this matter

doesn't seem professional.

There seems to be a personal agenda to this.

Whatever be the motive, it is the government's job, isn't it?

Don't carry the grudge of the recent incident.

I trust that you will handle this efficiently.

Yes, sir.

Okay. Update me.

-Good luck. -Thank you, sir.

Sir...

-Leela? -Yes.

-Have you been standing here since then? -Yes.

-You haven't spoken to sir yet? -No.

Oh, God! Come with me.

-Sir. -Yes?

-Our new joinee, Leela. -Sir.

The one who used influence to get this job.

Did ironing your uniform get you this late?

Tumbebailu, Honchukki, Kodiargadde and Kaadabettu.

These are the places we will be visiting today.

Much of the encroachment is around Kaadabettu.

In a few days, they will build a few more temples and claim the entire forest.

-Ravi. -Sir.

Do we have his name on the list?

No, sir.

Let's add it.

He will realize what it means to mess with us.

Sir, this is a sensitive matter.

Since we are dealing with land, they might react.

Who are they to react?

It's forest land. So it's us who have to react.

We will have to make them understand, sir.

If it doesn't go right, then we will be in trouble.

Everyone will understand because this time, I will explain.

-Ravi, come here. -Sir.

Put her on a day-night duty.

We will know how well she's been trained.

Take her along during night patrolling.

Yes, sir.

Hey, Rampa! Come and wash the buffaloes.

Now that she's joined work, you remember me.

-Shut up and come. -Am I crazy to get wet? Get lost.

I'll meet you later.

Have it.

Hey, you!

You didn't want to get wet, right? What happened?

-What the heck! -Come on.

He's back again!

This guy has taken us for granted.

-Where are you going? -To do justice.

Sundar, don't get into a fist fight.

What's the matter? Why is there so much of crowd?

Encroachment.

What is it?

Attachment it seems.

Attachment?

Greetings, sir. The laborers are here.

Okay.

How come I don't see the usual sour faces?

Come here.

Just come!

Speak. They're your people.

They would rather listen to you than me.

Leela, what's the matter?

Go stand at the back.

This is the result when you use influence to get a job.

This is a government order.

The department has to measure the circumference of the forest.

We will have to report the encroachment.

Am I clear?

Sir, where is the survey pole?

Move aside. Give way to the officer.

Go there.

Start surveying from that pole.

-Move! -Make way! Let them work.

-Bring it. -Stop! Just a moment.

-Bring the chain this side. -What's the matter?

What attachment are you talking about?

It's not attachment. It's encroachment.

I got that. What does it mean?

-What's your name? -Attachment. I mean... Sundar.

Sundar, encroachment means illegally occupied land.

Issued a notice to the concerned.

Go there.

You were supposed to reply to the notice. But you haven't.

We were busy! What now?

I know. That's why we are here.

We are peaceful people.

Just don't interfere with our work.

We stay here peacefully. Don't cause trouble for us.

If we claim your land, will you be okay with it?

I don't know that.

You've fenced government's land.

It's a one-hour job.

Whatever houses you have built inside the boundary, take them outside.

This will not happen as long as I'm alive!

-Hey, Sundar. Hold on. -Try stopping us.

Hey! Go back.

Once I take a step forward, I won't step back.

The other day, I was held back, so you were let go.

Are you warning me?

You don't have to pull your gun for that.

I have a gun too. It'll take time for me to bring it.

Hey, I said get back!

Don't touch us!

You're acting too smart.

I can fight too!

Go back, I said!

Shiva.

Where's Shiva?

Shiva! The forest officer is troubling us!

Leela, what are you doing, dear?

You've joined them to fence your own land?

Please let me do my job, Dad.

We don't need this insensitive job.

-Shut up, people! -Let him speak.

Go on, speak.

You guys just don't respect my words.

-Go on! -Now listen.

Even I don't know what's happening.

Then why the hell are you talking?!

I mean, I don't know the procedures involved.

Why are you pouncing on me for that?

After all, he also has to perform his duty.

-He'll be under pressure too. -For what?

Voting for you was our biggest mistake.

Now you're also on his side!

No way. I'm on your side.

Enough. We don't believe you.

We know what to do. Come, let's go.

-Please listen to me! -Did you hear that?

Don't my words have any value at all?

Hey, get lost.

Hey, step back. Don't disturb while marking.

Who are you to seize our land?

Where did this demon come from?

Oh, God! Sir!

Police!

Give way.

He's dead meat today!

I will kill everyone!

Here! Come on!

Shiva, don't spare anyone.

He has raised hand on your mother!

Don't let them go!

Thrash them. Don't spare them. Kill them.

Thrash them.

-Shiva! -Thrash them!

-Shiva, kill him! -I will kill you today!

Kill them!

What's the big deal about firing in the air?

Shoot me directly if you have the guts! Shoot!

I didn't miss my aim.

I'm a trained officer.

Hey! Tie him up.

Hey!

-Shiva! -Please let him go!

-Shiva! -He is innocent!

-This is wrong. -Shiva!

You have done the right thing, sir.

Go inside, or else I'll send you all behind bars.

Take care.

You're still wearing that uniform, girl?

We thought you'll get educated and help us.

But you backstabbed us.

He's not eaten anything since morning.

Shiva.

I heard you didn't eat since morning.

Get lost!

What are you doing?

How dare you beat up a girl!

This was the last thing I expected from you! Don't eat!

Go, die from hunger! Get lost!

How would I know that they would ask me to do this on the first day at work?

None of you understand my situation!

-Annappa. -He has such a big house. He's so lucky.

The sooner you submit the documents, the faster things will move.

Illiterates! Naru.

Naru, be quick.

None of your documents are in place.

It's been a while, must have gathered dust.

Screw the dust! I can't read a single letter.

Damn.

-Who is Thukra? -Yes, coming.

-It's my father. -What?

-Whose document is this? -It's mine.

How did his documents get registered in your father's name?

Both our fathers have the same name.

These Thukras are trouble!

Apply your thumb imprint.

-Whose ration card is this? -It's mine!

You think I'm selling rice here? Get lost!

Why are you throwing this?

Imagine if he really were selling rice!

The house is beautiful.

Someday he'll die of blood pressure.

I want the documents in place, or else it will be tough to argue in court.

What is it?

Oh, my God!

How dare you step in? You mongrel!

-Hey, Brother! -Stop, don't step in.

Mohan, go mind your business. Idiot!

-Shiva. -Yes, Landlord?

Nothing to worry.

He is always tension free.

-Take it easy. -Got the drink. What else do I need?

Sir, what about you?

-I'll have one too. You go ahead. -Okay.

-Please relax. -Okay.

Don't chug insane amount of alcohol just because it's free. Watch the intake.

He hit me in front of everyone, but this landlord still supports him.

Exactly. Are you a rabid dog to get treated like that?

Mohan.

Every dog has its day.

We shall bite then.

Please carry on. I'll be back soon.

Sir, peanuts?

I hope our land will be safe.

Why are you worried when I am here?

You are like our landlord, Shivanna.

Where do you think my land is? It's right beside the forest.

-The officers marked it as encroachment. -Then?

The thing is,

I realized I didn't have the right documents.

Then what?

Then I hired a very good lawyer.

His name is Subba Rao.

And he's been fighting the case for 12 years.

Someday, I might win.

-Shiva. -Yes, Landlord?

We need to water the plantation. Shall we go?

-Okay. -Okay.

-Be quick. -Shiva.

-Take the flashlight. Careful. -Okay, Ammakka.

You think they realized?

They were all in a buzz, Landlord.

Shiva, what happened to that girl of yours?

Seen her on your bike often.

What happened to her?

We were going strong.

Until this forest officer spoiled it for us.

Can you get Leela removed from the job, Landlord?

What could the poor girl do?

She only followed the DRFO's orders.

Can you get the officer removed?

It's not so easy, Shiva.

If he's not performing his duty, then we can try.

Is it so?

Then let's pretend he doesn't perform his duty.

Besides, we have you with us.

You're a smart guy, Shiva.

You understand things instantly.

-The signal's here. -Careful, sir.

We don't have much time.

-What happened? -Lord, help!

-What happened, Shiva? -Let's get out of here. Run!

What happened? Tell me what it is.

I can't see anything. Give me the torch!

Take this! You can return it if we make it out of here alive!

-Let's come here tomorrow. -Her husband would return tomorrow.

Shiva! Shiva! Stop!

When will you realise not to roam the forest at such hours?

This is what you get for getting into worthless adventures.

Don't get started.

Let him recover.

I'm advising because you're younger to me.

At your age, your father would visit couple of villages to perform Kola.

-Why don't you get it? -Why will he get it?

If he's busy with these wastrels, how will he have time for anything else?

Why blame us for nothing? Did we blind him?

I'll punch you. Shut up!

You keep blaming us for everything.

Let's get out.

Come outside when you've had enough.

If you have something to say, say it to me. Why blame others?

You sure get angry for everything.

Enough now. Let's not blow it out of proportion.

Brother, pray to the Demigod before leaving.

-Good things will come your way. -Okay.

Look! Here comes the forest officer.

Bloody scoundrel!

Filling up the marked trenches doesn't make the forest theirs.

Let us wait and watch.

Boom!

-Working fine, right? -Yes.

Rampa, get this gun repaired.

-It's training time from tomorrow. -Really?

Unlike others, I don't miss my targets.

Carry on.

The Siruras nature is all around

The peacock we saw has spread its feathers

In Bulpadi's lake, a boat arrived

Upon which a fish had hopped

In Bulpadi's lake, a boat arrived

Upon which a fish came and hopped

Today's headlines.

Forest Brigand Veerappan has kidnapped

three forest officials in the Satyamangala forest.

He has warned to kill them if his demands are not met...

The world is full of evil.

-Nobody's as innocent as us. -You're right.

Bro, give sir a glass of tea. It's on me.

Rescue us from the evil forces, Lord Guliga.

A tiger lurks on the edge of the hill

You were posted here since you knew this region well.

Just like the trees, your reputation too is at stake.

-The wounded king tiger is growling... -Come fast!

Should it be tied up or hunted down?

Looks like hunting is going on too!

It's not a wild tiger, it's a pussy cat

Look at the fire in his heart

Should we pour oil in it or put it out?

Looks like you caught a bigger one this time.

-Yes, Landlord. It's easily 70 kilograms. -Really?

You guys are freshers. I used to hunt as a kid.

Oh! He doesn't look like a hunter, does he?

Take this! You may leave.

-I'll take your leave, Landlord. -Sure, Thimappa.

Are you avenging the past?

You are our forest officer. You are like our guest.

If you ever trouble the department again,

you'll be spinning on the interrogation chair.

-A spin? -We'll join you too.

Your wild animals destroy our crops. What should we do then?

-Just shoot it. -Yes, just shoot it.

Shiva, don't say such things.

We have a record of the number of animals in the forest.

You better keep a tab on the number of hunters amongst you.

If our numbers don't line up, we will investigate it.

If we are not permitted to hunt, was the license given for fireworks on Diwali?

-Come on, tell us. -Why are you running away?

-Why is the way blocked? -Mr. Raghu, a new check post?

Yes. Recently there's been an increase in thefts.

-Makes sense. Good job. See you! -Yes.

-Is everything okay at home? -Yes. Okay.

A snake is sleeping in its burrow

Should we scare it with a stick Or feed it milk?

The wounded king tiger is growling

Should it be tied up or hunted down?

That genius king has nestled In a pit dug by himself

Looks like he lies hidden And is conspiring hard

The Siruras nature is all around

The peacock we saw has spread its feathers

What's that?

Actually, my hair is falling and these leaves help avoid hair fall.

So my wife asked for these.

You think this forest is your ancestral property?

You have insulted me many times.

But this time,

I won't tell anyone about it.

Trust me. If you want, try it.

You'll get your hair back.

Get lost!

-Is this enough? -I don't want any, sir.

Have it. It's okay.

Don't hesitate.

-Sir, there wasn't enough water. -Not enough?

There wasn't any!

Sir, I need a favour from you.

One more peg?

That's not what I meant.

I'm fed up with asking the landlord for my payment.

If only the timber tender could be allotted directly to me...

It's not just for my own benefit.

-I have something for you too. -What?

I'll help you capture Shiva and his mates.

Why is this guy, who wanted to leave, helping us today?

He wants revenge from the officer.

He's hot-tempered.

What a huge tree!

Have you ever cut a huge tree like this?

It was slightly smaller than this.

Yeah, I could guess that.

Don't finish it all. Keep some for me too.

-We will. -You carry on.

What a downpour, sir!

Sir, please go slowly.

Watch out, sir!

Sir, shall I drive?

Murali, let's go slowly.

Mr. Murali... Don't worry. They will be there.

-I hope the information is correct. -Absolutely, sir.

Those idiots have gained a lot of weight from eating all the animals.

Let them taste food in prison. That should teach them!

-Bulla. -Yes?

I'm sure that rabid dog will lose his job because of this tree.

-What if he doesn't? -Then we'll do something bigger.

I've heard animal skins are valuable.

-Do we have elephants here? -Nope.

If so, we could have gone for the tusk.

I think it's a nightingale.

-Nightingale, my foot! -Let's go.

Douse the fire!

-Where are you going, Shiva?! -The saw is in the tree.

-What's that sound? -I hear something close-by.

Oh, no!

Did you guys cut the tree to kill him?

God save us!

You messed it up big time, Shiva.

Have you lost it?

-It was not intentional. -Who will believe you?

Everyone was aware of your feud with the forest officer!

-This has become a murder case! -What can we do now?

I'll handle this.

You know the forest well, Shiva.

Abscond for a while.

I gave them the signal.

I thought they'd follow me.

Where is Shiva?

There's no one here.

-Have they left anything behind? -No, sir.

-Okay, get down. -Okay, sir.

Because of us, people in the jeep lost their lives.

Yes.

We tried to be over-smart.

If we get caught, we'll be behind bars.

You guys leave.

I'll surrender saying it was my fault.

Shiva!

Shut up!

Don't worry about the dead. Think of what to do next.

If you come close to me, I'll kill you.

I'm not afraid of you!

Another nightmare?

What the heck!

Don't worry. Everything will be fine.

Sacrifice a hen to Guliga and things will be fine.

-Is Guliga so powerful? -Of course.

-Guliga protects our borders. -Talk softly. Police are everywhere.

What the hell, dude?

Not a single human in sight!

Only cops.

Looks like they are searching for someone.

I was so happy at home. Now I am lost in forests because of you.

-Shiva! It's over there. -Okay.

It's not working. Shit!

Landlord, it's me, Shiva.

Yes. Yes.

Thankfully, everyone in the jeep survived.

We're saved!

We've to stay in the forest until further notice from landlord.

-I'll quickly go and see my mother. -Okay.

-The cops are around, Shiva. -If they come, give a signal.

To whom? You or the cops?

-Signal your dead grandpa! -Go, get some gun powder.

-Yes. -We will need it for hunting.

Bulla, grab some eatables from Padma's shop.

-We'll pay later. See you soon. -Rampa, come with me.

Go inside and get everything.

Shiva!

I'm done with these people.

I'll leave town right away.

No fish curry? That's enough.

For the sins you've committed, I'm starving here. You want fish curry!

You can't eat either without fish curry. Make it the next time I come.

You're going back again?

I'll be back soon, Mother.

It's not like I'm joining the Army.

Give me a soda.

Here.

So much money!

Don't you have any change, dude?

What an opportunity at this hour!

She is a cop!

If I run away now, will you come after me?

Chanchala!

Stop right there!

Sheela, I'm here.

You guys enjoy your food.

I'll wait right outside.

Please have your dinner and go.

Don't make me run. I can't run faster.

-What happened? -Shiva!

Eat later! The cops are after us. Run!

Mother, make fish curry when I come back!

Where is he?

-Come on! -Cover him from the other side.

Run, guys! Come on!

Hey, come on!

Why did you throw it?

Because it would have exploded in my hand!

-All right, now, run! -Run!

This is what happens when you show up at work drunk!

Are you crazy?

Sir, we didn't collide with the tree.

The tree fell on us.

-We didn't even realize what happened. -Shut up!

You better stay away from people like him.

This is all Shiva's handiwork.

This was intentional.

Ravi, file all the possible cases on him.

He should never see daylight.

Do you hear it too?

Get up, man!

Hey, cops!

Run! Run fast!

Hey, Rampanna! We are here too.

They are in the forest too, where will we hide now?

Leela, the food is delicious.

Are you dumb? Why did you bring a stranger here?

Look at these street mongrels hogging from a stranger.

Don't eat it, idiots!

They didn't say that to us.

You should be lucky to eat such tasty food.

Tasty? My mother cooks better.

Shiva!

What a bunch of cowards!

I ran for my life and none of you followed me.

We called you many times.

But you were too scared to hear us.

Leela, have you come alone?

-Next time, please remove your anklets. -Yes.

Did you finish all the food?

I didn't.

-A man must be stubborn. -Right!

You carry on with it.

-Bulla, hope you've left some for me. -Have it.

It's okay to be stubborn. Not arrogant!

Done serving? Take her away.

Else I'll beat her to death!

Of course! Killing people is all you know.

As if the tree incident wasn't enough, you've thrown bombs on the cops!

They're searching for you in the entire village.

In no time, they will arrive here.

Just go to hell!

Enough eating! Give it back!

-Lacchu, come. -Okay.

Leela, there was a big piece of fish left!

She fenced her own village on the first day of her job.

I don't trust she was here just to give us food.

Hey, Shiva!

He went off with my gun!

You may come inside instead of sitting like a guard outside.

We didn't intentionally drop the tree on them. It was an accident.

You think I did things intentionally?

I didn't know about the encroachment case. You guys still treated me like a dog.

Then why do such a job?

Okay, I'll quit.

All my efforts to get the job will go in vain.

If it makes you happy, I'll quit.

I'm sorry.

No need to put up an act.

Don't you see I'm apologizing?

To hell with your apology.

Acting smart when I say sorry?

Let me go, Shiva.

No, Shiva.

What did you say?

You stink of cigarettes.

Bear with me.

Okay, you guys go.

-Remind me to offer a hen to Guliga. -Alright.

Hey, Leela! Why didn't you lock the door?

What if some pervert gets in?

-Shivanna? -What?

-Where were you all this time? -I was in the forest.

I felt like seeing you all. So I came by.

Shivanna, in our house, we use only grated coconut to cook.

Not its shell.

Have you eaten?

Do you want to?

Come.

Shall we eat?

-Dinner was good. -I don't know who got the fish.

How's my husband?

He's fine.

You should have brought him too.

He didn't know I was coming.

Shivanna, leaving already?

Yes. I will be in Kailasa for some time.

Go in. Have your dinner, kids.

Who told you to come here?

You could've left without speaking a word.

Why did you stop here?

I stopped here for you.

What are you thinking, Shiva?

I'll surrender.

Don't, Shiva.

In a situation like this,

they'll file random cases and make sure you never get out of jail.

That's okay.

None of you should suffer because of me.

-Let's see what happens. -Shiva, no...

It's dawn already. Leave now.

Go.

Hello! Good morning!

Shiva and Leela in Kailasa!

I had come up a while ago.

But I didn't want to disturb since you were asleep.

The enthusiasm you had while climbing seems to be missing while getting down.

Off with you!

You get your salary from the government, but you're serving him, eh?

You leave.

I said, go!

I will handle these morons.

Did I ask you to hit him? Get back!

Move aside!

We sure can't award you for your co-operation.

But I can suspend you.

Right, Shiva?

-Is it loaded? -Yes.

Load it. We need to seize it.

You have to serve Shiva.

You also have to take care of the landlord who got you the job.

You must be tired.

Rest for some 15 days.

Will you hold a torch for this too?

It's Shiva's gun. It's loaded, sir!

Come forward!

Come.

Sir!

Move aside.

Shiva! Where are you taking him?

Don't take him.

Let him go.

-Please, stop. -Let my son go!

-Shiva! -Shiva!

Shiva, my son!

This is wrong! He hasn't done anything. Let him go!

-He made a mistake. Don't take him, sir. -Shiva!

Don't do this. God will never forgive you.

Listen to me. This is wrong.

-Shiva! Shiva! -Sir, take it easy.

Shiva, what happened to your face?

Forget that. How did they catch you?

This bonehead went after a girl but she turned out to be a cop.

Moron!

-Sorry. -Pervert!

Obsessed with women.

-Irresponsible brute! -Where were you?

With Leela?

As if you're extremely responsible!

I told him not to leave his hideout.

He didn't listen.

Good thing.

He was flying high.

Please don't bail him out.

If I don't do what's on my mind, I won't be at peace.

-Landlord, it's me, Guruva. -Tell me.

Our issues have reached the prison.

Looks like a disaster awaits us.

You must set things right.

Did you call at this hour to tell me this?

Don't worry, Guruva. I'll take care of it.

What did he say?

He wants me to set things right.

No matter what happens, everything must go right.

Because of the attack on forest officers in the Kaadubettu region,

after carefully considering the evidence,

taking IPC Section 307,

Section 353, 447, 394

and the Forest Conservation Act 33 into account,

this court grants permission to keep Shiva and his associates in prison as suspects.

Take them inside.

-Are there any women here? -That's a different section.

Hope everything's fine.

Looks like she is still angry with my family.

Nothing of that sort.

Please bail Shiva and the others out.

It's an attempt to murder case on a government official.

He won't get bail for it.

Getting him out won't be easy.

When a man stumbles upon the stone of fate

Would the injury on a finger disappear?

For fools who get involved under The influence of hate and anger

God doesn't wait in the temple

Did the lamp mean to light up the darkness

End up turning into a flame That burnt the entire town down?

-Time is up. Come on. -You got food for me? What is it?

It's fish curry.

Give it to me properly.

Why are you crying?

I'll get you ice cream when I come out.

Didn't you bring a matchbox?

Thanks!

-Bye. -Take care.

Shivanna, I'm learning to ride the bike.

-Really? Good to know. -Yes.

Give it to Guruva.

Guruva, I've prayed for Shiva.

Don't worry about it.

I'm arranging for his bail.

-Inform Kamala. -Okay.

Guruva, where are you coming from?

As itt's Sankranti festival, I went to Mr. Rajiv's.

Good that I met you. Come, sit.

Landlord, how can I sit with you?

Do that when others are around. Hop in.

You want to talk about something?

There are many things. Let's talk on the way.

Madhav! Does this count as your own courtyard?

Move aside, man.

Annoying fellow. High all the time!

Tell me, Guruva.

How is your life going?

It was peaceful until now.

You're well aware of how it is now.

All will be well.

I'm asking only about your life.

With your meagre earnings, are you happy?

It's enough to get by.

Life is not for just getting by.

One must enjoy it.

Let me show you something.

Guruva, come along.

Our family owns a lot of land.

It starts from here in Kaadubettu and spans until that hillock.

It spans over 500 acres.

I own all of it, you see.

It's a nice place.

Guruva, you're serving our Demigod sincerely.

This is my token of gratitude for that.

I'll give you five acres of this land.

What do you say?

Do you seek anything from me, Landlord?

What could I want from you? Let's go now.

I'll drop you to Kaadubettu.

-It's okay. I'll manage. -Just come along.

-No one's around. -Now listen up.

Okay. This is where we are.

If we take a right and go straight, there's the bathing area.

Now is not the time to bathe.

Quiet! You speak.

Turn left from there and you'll find the toilet.

You take hours to finish at the toilet.

Shut up! You go on.

There's an alley next to it.

If we go straight, there's a 15-foot wall.

Each of us is at least five feet tall.

I'm 5.5 feet in full.

If we climb up on each other, we can jump over to the other side.

And that's our ticket to freedom!

Impressive, isn't it?

-Who will be the last to climb? You? -Yes.

-Why not? I'm six feet tall. -How will you jump?

Can't you come back and open the gate after you've jumped?

As if the gate will be left unguarded! You dimwit!

I don't think you understood what I said.

-Let me explain again. -Damn you!

This is where we are.

Let's skip this prison break idea.

The legal route seems far better.

All of you, go and have lunch.

This is what I love about prison. Food's always on time.

What is this?

We were just drawing.

Who do you think you're bluffing with?

Man, you're really cursed.

You get beaten up all the time!

Hey, Lacchu!

Looks like they brought Shiva back. Get up!

A vehicle at this hour? What happened?

-I don't know. -Let's go check.

Thimappa, give me the matchbox.

It's Guruva!

Guruva! Guruva! What happened to you?

-Brother! -Guruva! Guruva!

-Please wake up! -What's wrong, Brother!

-Brother! -Guruva!

Brother, wake up! Brother!

What's wrong, Brother!

-Guruva! -Dear boy! Dear boy!

-Oh, God! -Brother!

-Guruva! Guruva! -Brother!

Just give us poison and kill us at once.

Don't act mum now.

-The landlord is here. -Yes.

The landlord is entering the house.

Really.

-Greetings. -Greetings.

Greetings.

Such a good-hearted soul.

He had no enemies.

Who dared to do this?

Whoever it is, our Demigod will not spare him.

He will die a horrible death!

Did you lodge a police complaint yet?

I asked to. But they're not willing to.

-Why? -Our deity dwelled in his body.

It's wrong to mutilate that body under the pretext of post-mortem.

It's not just that.

That will defile the soul that may be left in the body.

My son is gone for good.

How can the police possibly help?

At least, let his soul rest in peace.

Let's inform Shiva.

If we tell him, the cops will accompany him here.

Let's wait until the funeral rites are over.

They seize our ancestral land.

Our kids go to prison.

A man who served the Demigod drops dead.

-What is happening here? -Maybe this land is cursed.

A curse can be removed.

Before the mourning is over, I will avenge Guruva's death.

All the village attendees

The one who was serving the Demigod has left us forever.

I shall take over Guruva's priestly duties

until his successor is appointed.

We have no care in the world

We used to live up every moment

We have no one to call our own

We have no place to call home

We have no one to purge our sins

No one to lead us down the right path

You are like the Sun Unattainable for anyone

You are like a rock That no one can sculpt

Kamala! You all are here to see me?

How are you?

I'm fine.

How are you all doing?

Did you go hunting?

How are you, dear?

Kamala, buy her an ice-candy.

She's sobbing all the time.

I don't want you to perform Bhoota Kola.

What?

Why are you talking so strangely?

What's the matter?

Why should I perform Bhoota Kola?

Guruva is doing it anyway.

Is Guruva all right?

You will not perform the Kola, ever!

-What happened? -Guruva was murdered.

Someone arrived in a jeep and dumped his body near the Kola arena.

Shiva! Shiva!

Merely submitting the documents won't end the encroachment issue, Murali.

If the villagers don't support you, the fight will continue.

It's not easy to convert a forest into a reserve forest.

Set your ego aside for once.

Sir, people of Kaadubettu have replied through court.

Looks like your villagers finally found the time.

People feel the heat only when their rear is on fire.

-Get the jeep. -What's wrong, sir?

The scoundrel landlord has replied to the encroachment issue.

Devendra Suttur? How is that possible?

Aren't the land owners supposed to reply?

-Let's find out. -It's all over.

All the land has been transferred to the landlord's name.

All the documents are now in his name.

-Thank you. -Take care of the file.

That rogue has claimed 20 acres more every time there was a survey!

That's how his ancestors have always been.

But we are not like them.

We've retained the same as before.

-Hey! Get the area map. -Sir!

No, let that be.

-I have to tell you something. -What?

Once, he started a conflict and put an end to the Kola tradition.

Finally, my family took over and kept the tradition alive.

-What if he gets out on bail? -He won't.

-No chance. -Really?

Only if he hires a great lawyer, he might.

Does that rascal Devendra own so much land?

Hey! Check the area map.

Map?

What's the point of it now?

People have already written off their land!

All documents needed to convert Kaadubettu into a reserve forest are ready.

If this file moves, the landlord's documents will become null and void.

Then your landlord will run from pillar to post in the courts.

Do as you please. You have my full support.

Shiva should have been here now.

We found this, sir. The Demigod's headdress.

We must bail Shiva out soon.

What! You changed your mind so soon?

Didn't you say a while ago not to bail him out?

Now I'm telling you to bail him out.

Is it some chicken coop to open and shut whenever you please?

It's a prison!

Seems like you are too high.

Just tell me if you can do it or not.

I can.

But it's a little tough.

If we spend some money, we can.

I'll speak to Subba Rao about it.

Hello?

Once upon a time, there lived a king.

Just like you.

For a mere stone, the king lay down his weapon

and donated vast areas of his land to his villagers.

From then on, for generations, everyone kept worshipping the stone.

When the king's descendant decided to reclaim the land

instead of just taking the land back, he approached the villagers.

They decided to ask for the Demigod's consent.

Then the Demigod

No, wait.

The performer wearing the Demigod's costume said

he would die from vomiting blood if he goes back on this agreement.

The landlord realized that it was the performer talking.

Is this the Demigod speaking? Or is it the performer?

The performer's lie was caught and he ran away out of shame.

What happened after that?

Then the landlord died of old age peacefully

with the hope that at least his son would reclaim the land.

Come on. Let me drop you.

What do you seek from me, Landlord?

Guruva

I will give you some of my land.

In return, you must ensure I get back the land I own in your village.

How is it possible, Landlord?

Ages ago, when the Demigod claimed the land, it was given to the villagers.

This time, at the Bhoota Kola, Guruva must speak instead of the Demigod.

How could you say that, Landlord?

Once we don the finery, it is the Demigod that takes over.

Nothing is in my control after that.

The Demigod appears only for a while.

The rest of the time, isn't it Guruva who speaks?

I can't speak as you desire merely out of greed.

The Demigod will not appreciate this.

-Is it wrong to reclaim our own land? -No.

Landlord!

What have you gained so far by seeking the Demigod's appreciation?

I can't believe you are saying this.

The villagers have a lot of respect for you.

If they learn that you

How will they know?

Will you tell them?

Will you?

Oh!

The Demigod will?

The Demigod might, right?

So, he dealt with the man who had cheated us in the name of a stone.

Do you even know the value of 100 acres?

You got it for free. How would you know its worth?

I asked you to set things right, Landlord.

You don't know what you've done.

If I need to set things right, what good is your Demigod?

From now on, I will speak on behalf of the Demigod.

He left me with no choice.

Let's dump his body over there.

There are plenty of places in the forest.

Why are you keen on dumping it there?

Because I have to.

For those fools who are squatting on my land for years...

This will serve as a warning.

What happened after that?

Let's find out what comes next.

Okay?

People will respect us even more now, right?

Shut up! We went in because of you!

-Didn't you bring the axe, boy? -No.

You should have.

You've lost so much hair.

There is a herb in the forest--

Herb, my foot! To heck with your plant!

Any leads on Guruva's killers?

He got you out on bail.

-Thank you. -I have to speak to you, Shiva.

Shiva, the landlord wants to see you.

You don't have to go anywhere. Come home straight.

Give me the keys.

-You come in the jeep. -Okay.

Back to your old ways, huh?

It was a mistake to bail you out!

Where are you off to now? Can't it wait?

-Shiva! Stop! -Shiva!

Hey, Shiva!

Hey, Shiva. It's been so long since I saw you!

-Come. I hope things were fine in prison. -Yes, Landlord.

I heard Rajeev bailed you out.

He's trying to get into your good books.

His family is known for it.

When the Bhoota Kola stopped, he took the Demigod's ornaments to his house.

I have to speak to you.

So do I!

But first, let us party.

-The landlord poured him Scotch today. -And served him mutton too!

He's in a jolly mood today.

-You bet! -He's drinking away to glory.

He doesn't get high easily.

-That's why I gave him Scotch. -Huh?

He says you're high.

No, Landlord.

I drink by the buckets.

This is just warm up.

-I have to ask you something. -Go on.

Who killed our Guruva?

And why?

You!

You!

You must stand by us in this.

No matter who he is, I will not spare him.

I'll cut him to pieces!

Are you done?

Send them out. Let's speak in private.

You guys carry on. I'll come later.

Landlord, your crotch was superb.

Not his crotch, you idiot. His "Scotch"!

Devendra Suttur.

I'm a landlord only for namesake.

I can't even serve my people.

I don't deserve to be called a landlord!

What makes you say that, Landlord?

What's wrong?

I had a big task ahead of me before you were released from jail.

-But that Rajeeva bailed you out first. - Never mind it.

I have something to tell you.

Don't lose your temper.

Listen to me patiently first.

Do you know who killed our Guruva?

-Who? -That b*****d DRFO!

He tried to stop our Bhoota Kola.

When that failed, he killed the performer.

He arrived in a jeep and dumped the body.

Do you know how brutally he killed Guruva?

Shiva!

Didn't I tell you not to lose your cool?

Just hear me out first.

Don't be hasty, Shiva. Or else, he will benefit from it.

Listen to me.

Let me handle this now. Now I will decide his fate.

This land will be cleansed with his blood!

He killed my brother.

Why do you want to get blood on your hands?

Shiva, stay in your senses! Don't act in haste!

Shiva!

Sudhakar, I need to wash my hands.

I just touched that rabid dog.

The dog is off to chase the cat.

Once it's done, put it back on the leash.

He was headed to kill the forest officer. Why is he at Madhav's workshop?

Madhav

Before dawn breaks, I will finish those who killed Guruva.

When night arrives, it brings solace.

Not trouble.

They are the ones who started the trouble.

Do you know who killed Guruva? That b*****d DRFO!

I won't spare him.

-I'm smoking this for courage. -Courage?

Courage comes from the fire within you.

Let the fire within you not end up burning you.

I don't know if it's your words or the stuff that's hitting so hard.

Your words are sailing right over my head.

It is passing by.

The landlord and Guruva are passing by in his jeep.

While returning, the landlord is all alone.

Later, Guruva's corpse is found near the Kola arena.

The next day, the landlord came home to see Guruva's body.

Even this mystery sailed over our heads.

-Take out the swords! -What's wrong with you?

Let's finish him off.

Let's at least ask the landlord first.

Before that, Shiva will finish us off!

Didn't you say that we shall strike when the time comes?

The time has come.

Mohan, I only said that we'll bite, not kill.

Hey, let's go!

Madhav, you have some customers who want their swords sharpened.

Once it gets dark

I don't burn embers,

but only this stuff.

Come back tomorrow.

But the embers are lit.

Please come. I'm sharpening my sword too.

This oldie is way past his prime.

Let me fire it up for you.

Don't fight in here.

There goes my workshop.

I'll get you wood for the repairs tomorrow.

Shiva!

Come to me, pricks!

You mongrel!

-Run! Flee! -Wait for me!

-Run! -Hurry! Get the jeep!

-Start the jeep! -Let's go!

You guys never listen to me!

Come on! Drive!

The landlord and Guruva are passing by in his jeep.

They arrived in a jeep and dumped the body near the Kola arena.

Later, Guruva's corpse is found near the Kola arena.

Do you know who killed Guruva?

You!

-Ammakka, isn't the kid asleep yet? -No.

What's the matter, Shiva? You're all drenched.

I'm not drenched, Landlord.

I've been cleansed.

Looks like the squatters have a lot to feast on.

Now that you're squatting in here too,

join me.

Well, even you walked into my house.

So why can't I?

Times have changed, Landlord. I certainly can.

Looks like you're here to settle scores.

Not really.

We eat mere gruel and porridge.

Sometimes, we can't even afford that.

Yet, we are satisfied with what we have.

Today, I'm unable to stomach this lavish food.

It refuses to go down my throat.

Try that sukka mutton.

Ammakka cooked it. It's tasty.

If one's heart is good, everything turns out well.

Can't trust everything you say now, can I?

I'll have to taste it for myself.

It's nice, Ammakka.

Shiva, have some Scotch.

I've been cleansed, Landlord.

You have it.

What do you expect me to do now?

Haven't you done enough already?

Are you our Demigod to give us what we want?

Your judgement now lies on that land.

Well, what's the time?

Looks like even the time is on our side.

Oh! It's twelve o'clock.

It's here.

Your time.

I'll wait for you.

Don't miss.

I'll take your leave.

It's okay if you are late.

I hope you know the place. Kaadubettu.

Bye. See you, Ammakka.

Light!

In light, everything is visible.

But this is not just light.

It's a vision.

The light which will shine on the past and the future.

Do you see it?

At least now, have you all realized that landlord's true colours?

We have been betrayed!

We trusted him only to be stabbed in the back.

We should have realized the day he set foot in our homes.

Sudhakar tricked us into meeting the landlord!

-We should take him to task! -What's all that commotion?

Are you not throwing us a party for coming out of prison?

The landlord is better than you guys!

-He gave us a lavish feast! Really -I know!

Why don't you go?

If I go, it'll only be to my home town.

What's the point in arguing now?

We have lost our land anyway.

You can still save your land.

We have documents to declare this land as reserve forest.

Once it is declared, both your land and the forest will be saved.

If it is declared as forest, it won't remain ours.

Once the declaration happens, you can appeal to the government.

The land will be handed to the owner registered during the survey.

Our department will do the needful.

The landlord has done enough.

Please don't mess it up further.

Shut up! Scoundrel!

We need to stand with him.

We will. But what about Shiva?

He must be drinking at the landlord's house.

Looks like everyone has united against us.

Seems like our good times have come to an end.

We'll see about that soon.

Gather our men.

I am the king here.

My decision stands final.

Hey! Has the house been cleansed yet?

Are you happy now?

Your landlord has usurped all our lands!

He listens to you, doesn't he?

So go speak to him! Ask him to return our lands!

Shiva! We're talking to you.

Please say something.

Do you understand what I'm saying?

We're left with nothing now!

The landlord has taken over our lands completely!

He didn't just take our lands.

He took Guruva too.

Grab everything you can!

I will take care of that scoundrel!

Why are you still quiet?

Let's barge into his house and slaughter him!

Nobody is going anywhere.

Shiva, what's going on in your mind?

Let all the bygones be bygones.

I'm sorry.

My father always told me to pay heed to the stone in the forest.

The Demigod will speak through it.

I listened to it. The forest spoke.

Maybe if I lend my ear, I might hear the Demigod speak too.

Our beliefs may differ, Shiva, but our purpose is the same.

If some mishap befalls me, will you fight for my people?

I think he's here.

The officer is here too.

Shiva! I'm glad you called me here.

I'm sure everyone is aware now.

There's nothing left to discuss. How about this?

Take that stone from my land and leave this village.

Who are you to banish us from our own land?

I think you've forgotten who I am.

What have you done for us to remember you anyway?

Of course he has.

He cheated us of our land. Killed my son.

Cheating is in his blood.

Shut your mouths, you illiterate vagabonds!

Don't you take that tone with me while squatting on my land!

Is the forest officer's presence giving you this newfound courage?

I don't understand what is giving you all this courage to blabber.

They say, a lamp burns its brightest before snuffing out.

I feel the same when I see you.

Kumara!

Have you all gone deaf?!

He's speaking about flames burning bright.

Go ahead! Burn it for him.

Burn them all!

Thrash those dogs!

Rampanna, does this gun fire both ways?

My grandpa's gun after all.

He's one of us, Landlord.

Who cares!

I'll show them today.

They think they can kill us in our own homes!

-Greetings. -Greetings.

O'Allah!

No! Landlord, that's just a child!

Is it yours?

If she survives, tomorrow even she will claim her share of land.

Hey! Take sir away to safety.

Bulla!

Bulla!

Bulla!

Die.

Throw that mongrel over here.

Enough of fighting! Stop!

How much more do you plan to fight?

Hey! Step aside.

Hold this.

Bulla!

Hey!

Come, take a look here.

It's all over.

Shiva is dead.

-What! -Shiva!

-Shiva! -Shiva.

Shiva!

-Shiva! -Shiva! You cannot just die!

Are all the villagers here?

Only a handful of you made it, huh?

You can't fool me with that useless stone the way you fooled my ancestors.

You have two options now.

Either let go of this land or let go of your life.

Widows don't have to worry.

I'm here for you.

Kamala, what say?

Remember, I'll be accompanied by my Compatriot spirit, the ferocious Guliga.

Should you err, even if I forgive you, Guliga won't.

-Protect us, Lord Guliga! -Protect us, Lord Guliga!

Go.

On the land of Lord Varahamurthy, before committing any atrocities

The one who lost the right to teach them a lesson, on this holy land

Did you forget the guide, Kshetrapala, the guardian deity?

My Lord Panjurli might have forgiven, but I will not.

As the consequence of your deeds

By offering your blood to this soil,

I shall uphold its righteousness.

Varaha, the Supreme among all Gods!

Varaha, the Supreme among all Gods!

He who assumes the form of a wild boar The greatest of the demons

With teeth as hard as diamond

He who protects us like a shield

He who embodies the essence of Shiva

The one who thrives on Earth

He who gives refuge to those Who believe in him

The one who has won the hearts of Thousands of Gods

We now stand in front of you Worshipping you

Did he also disappear?
