Ganga, wake up, dear.

It's time to catch the bus.

You have to go to work, right? Get up.

Go and take a shower.

Come on.

Let’s go!

BRAHMA SAMUDRAM MINING COMPANY PVT LTD

Take this.

Move!

Brother! Greetings, brother.

Hey, young man! Come.

I have been waiting for you.

It's been so long since I met you!

- So brother, how are you? - I am good, brother.

- Hey! - Brother?

Go, catch some fish from the pond.

Sure, brother.

My brother here loves fish curry.

What brings you here, brother?

They have been wanting kids for long, brother.

They want to make a vow. So, I have brought them to our temple, brother.

No.

Don’t encourage such things, brother.

Please, sir.

My mother-in-law has told us a lot about this temple and sent us here.

Please don’t say no.

Not here, dear.

There is a Chamundeswari temple in town. Do it there.

I know your objection, brother.

Hey, give me your mobile.

Yours as well.

Here. We are placing them all here.

We will go, pay our respects, and come back.

- Mansoor! - Brother?

Look into it.

Take this sacred bundle and tie it to the tree over there.

Have some more, brother.

Don't be shy.

Brother!

- Eat it. - Come on, brother.

Have it.

Eat it…

With what great ambition have you come here with a camera?

Are you so intent on having kids before marriage, DE Usharani?

The temple’s priest… wrote me a letter, sir.

What is your problem?

Whoever you have written letters to, has come here and ended up dead.

How many of them do you want to kill?

You have dug up all around.

Please, spare the temple, sir.

I beseech you, sir.

Look, priest.

Adoration or decoration… you have ten days to do it.

After ten days, your Shiva will be on his way to Kailas.

Nandi…

It is said he carries Shiva to Kailas… Shiva, who sends men to their pyre.

Nandi!

Even if one stone moves from the premises, I shall give up my life.

Then it becomes your duty to protect your God.

Happy birthday, brother!

Sir, sir… The kid is in a critical condition, sir.

Sir, please, sir. Move your car out of the way, sir.

- Hey! Get lost! - Please, sir. She's losing a lot of blood.

Hold on! Let me go and check.

Happy birthday, brother!

Veeranna! Happy birthday, brother!

Happy birthday, brother!

- Sir, please, sir. - Hey, go away!

Brother, the patient is critical. Please, move your vehicle.

Wait for five minutes…

Let my boss cut the cake and I will let him move.

Move it aside for two minutes. There’s an emergent patient. Let him go.

It will take half an hour, man.

Hey! Someone’s life is at risk. Don’t you get it?

Life, my foot!

Happy birthday!

Celebrate it at home from next year. Okay?

Artificial!

I thought as much when I saw them celebrating on the road.

Son!

Get up, dear.

You slept quite early last night. Get up.

- I am getting up, Mom. - Get up!

Dear, eat and then go back to sleep. Come on.

- Come on! - Fine, I’ll eat. First switch on the fan.

- I never switched it off. - I did it.

Whatever for, Dad?

Actually…

My salary is 70,000, Son.

Out of that, 30,000 goes to you.

Until you find yourself a job,

you will have electricity in your room only from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.

What do you mean, Dad?

I mean…

When you get drunk and go about thrashing others…

It’s quite hard on me, Son.

Husband!

- Do you know why he had to beat them? - Mom!

Hey! Drop this drama and go shower.

There will be no water from nine o’clock.

Dad, is this a home or a hostel?

Of course, it's a home. Look, this is your mom.

- Don’t you recognize her? - Was that a joke?

Two minutes, two minutes. Quick!

- Breakfast will be over. - Mom!

I will reach the hospital a bit late today.

My younger brother has beaten someone. Dad is quite angry.

He doesn’t mend his ways.

He gets drunk and gets into brawls. That seems to be his only job.

I know.

Sugar?

Not even chutney, Mom?

- Husband? - Yes?

The poor boy can’t stay hungry.

Let me give him just one pesarattu with upma.

Please?

Continue being dramatic…

I’ll be forced to give you only one idli from tomorrow.

Try to understand me, please!

Stop it, Dad!

You act like a sadist day after day.

What should I do now?

Work.

Before that, I must go out and have some breakfast.

He didn’t allow my brother to eat even that one idli.

Dad said he could stay at home only if he found a job.

Hey, are you a doctor or a reporter?

Have your idli and go to your hospital. Idiot!

Son!

I will transfer a thousand on Google Pay.

Eat whatever you want, okay?

Sure. Love you, Mom!

How stylish my friend is… even though he is good for nothing!

So, what has you so disturbed that you forgot this is your second?

- I want to take my dad to a nice Dargah. - Why?

He sounds possessed.

What is he saying?

He wants to me find a job, Sudha!

- Doesn’t he want to work? - Exactly!

Elders have become very lazy these days, brother.

By the way, does your dad also pester you the same way?

My dad?

He asked me whether I wanted to work or get married.

How can I work when I am not used to it? So, I got married.

But my dad never gave me an option.

Give it here. You seem ready to drill into the seat.

I came across a vacancy somewhere, brother.

To keep the kids happy and peaceful in their last days…

We do our bit.

It’s vaccination day today.

All the kids look dull.

Their food intake is also minimal.

Chitra will be here.

Move, move, move aside

Hey, here comes our boy… Move, move, move aside

He appears like lightning… Move, move, move aside

A man of valor… Move, move, move aside

He shall make you see stars… Move, move, move aside

Come, come, come on precious!

There is no match for you, precious!

When you whistle It sounds like an Andhra soda pop

When you whistle It sounds like an Andhra soda pop

When it is heard I lose control of myself

Her earring has dropped And entangled my heart

Ramulo, Ramula… She has ruined me

Ramulo, Ramula! She has claimed my life

Ramulo, Ramula… She has ruined me

Ramulo, Ramula! She has claimed my life

Thanks again, Chitra. You are such a great help to us.

Why thank me, sister?

Look at those kids smiling even in the face of death.

This check is very small before those smiles.

See you, sister.

God bless you, dear.

Why are you not saying anything?

I told your dad this morning that I want to appoint a cook.

He said, "We will do that after your younger son gets a job."

Did he say that?

Were you upset?

It’s okay, Son.

I will appoint one once you get a job.

Would you like me to go to work?

Yes.

I want to see you leave for work every morning like your brother and dad.

You could have told me this earlier.

Watch. I will find a job tomorrow itself.

Listen… Software might be tough.

But I will find a job for sure.

The CEO is here.

Gorgeous, bro.

She is this company’s CEO.

I have got to get a job here somehow, bro!

- Good morning, madam. - Morning.

- How many have turned up? - Forty in all.

Six of them are recommended by your dad, madam.

- Oh! - Yeah.

Recommended candidates, please come forward.

He doesn't even have a recommendation and he's come for a job interview!

That’s all?

Good. Now, all of you get out.

- I have your dad’s recommendation, madam. - Get out!

Bye…

- I know what I am doing. - Damn!

The recommendation didn’t work.

- Send them all in one by one. - Sure, madam.

May I come in, madam?

- Hi, madam… - Hi. Sit down.

Thank you.

- Madam, file. - Not necessary.

Sell this cream to me.

Come on, madam. How can I sell this cream to you?

This company is yours.

This is to test your sales ability.

Okay, madam. Buy this cream. It’s really good.

- Hello, mister… - Not mister… Balu.

Whatever…

This is not a soap or detergent to do door-to-door sales

like old-school marketing.

You got to market this

saying it transforms the dark and ugly into beautiful.

Madam, isn’t it wrong to think like that?

Whenever you switch on the TV…

"Dark is ugly and fair is beautiful." Our competitors blare into our ears…

Should we tell the same lie?

When they use our products, let's say they become beautiful, not fair.

Madam, stop thinking white.

Let’s think beautiful.

Superb! Amazing caption.

- Genuinely. - Thank you, madam. Thank you.

- I appreciate the way you think. - Thank you, madam.

And I won't appoint you a part of the sales team…

- but I appoint you as the Sales Head. - Madam!

- What, Chitra? - Thank you, madam!

We have got ISB candidates for that!

Your ISB candidates couldn’t make me buy this cream.

- I don’t understand what she is thinking. - Madam! You have bought this cream.

Give me the cash and I will give you the bill, madam.

Superb, Balu! That’s the spirit.

So, Balu, your salary will be twelve lakh rupees per annum.

Twelve lakh rupees per annum…

Don’t fret. It’s one lakh per month.

Madam! Thank you, madam!

Thank you so much, madam.

What happened?

Madam, what do you know about middle-class problems, madam?

I have outdone my dad with this, madam. Thank you, madam.

Good. I’ll see you tomorrow.

Of course, madam! Thank you, madam.

A job? Where?

In a cosmetic company. The salary is one lakh per month.

Get a cook from tomorrow. I will pay the salary.

Do you see that?

Didn’t I tell you?

My younger son will take care of me someday?

One is a doctor and one is a policeman.

What could you both do?

Hey…

Has sir left for work?

No, he is getting ready.

Okay.

He is going to work.

Give him ten thousand.

Let him buy some new clothes.

He has already bought them.

How did he get the money?

Someone gave me forty thousand saying he owes Mr. Babu.

He bought clothes with that money.

Couldn't you at least ask me?

- So, you are Mr. Babu! - Of course.

When he said Babu, I thought he meant Balu.

In so many years of my service, I haven’t come across thieves like y'all.

There he is. He's ready.

My son is shining in his new clothes.

Bye, parents.

Hey, wait!

Have you got any sense?

What’s with those pants?

Even the thorny whip-lashing of Komaram Bheem

couldn't tear his clothes so much!

Dad, the kind of material you buy… Two meters for a hundred rupees…

It looks blue when bought and turns sky blue after a wash.

This is not that kind of material.

Hundreds of technicians with several designers…

have made this material holding onto each thread.

It’s a brand, Dad. Bye, Mom.

Do you think he will improve?

Just watch.

He will have a hundred people working for him.

Sure, he will never work.

They will have to work.

BRAHMA SAMUDRAM MINING COMPANY

Hey! Bloody idiot! Are you puffed up?

My hand is hurting, brother. I am not able to carry it.

- Isn’t your other hand free? - I just cannot, brother.

- How dare you back answer, rascal? - Brother… Please, brother.

- Pick it up! - Brother.

Instead of working, you are back answering. Pick it up!

Who is it?

Hey!

Hey, it’s wrong to make kids work. How can you beat them on top of that?

Let go of my hand, man!

Hey! Apologize to him.

Do you know who I am?

Who cares? Apologize.

I'm sorry.

- Lift the load and take it inside. - Me?

- I will, I will. - Do it.

- What’s your name? - Vasu, brother.

- Will you come with me? - Back to work, brother?

No. Did you eat?

Madam! Good morning, ma’am.

Good morning.

Jeans on the second day of work?

Will it be shorts, t-shirts, pajamas, etc. next?

No, no. Nothing like that, madam.

I got the job, so I have bought some clothes.

These?

Madam… what can I hide from you?

Formals make me stiff, and feverish and I feel weird, madam.

Madam, please give me permission to wear these, madam.

Please, madam…

I am okay with it. Make sure Rahul won’t make an issue.

I will take care of it, madam. You are okay with it, right?

Okay.

This is my friend.

Hi!

What are you studying?

He doesn’t study, madam. He works for your company.

In our company?

This company has certain rules.

Do you think you are a hero?

Is this about my jeans?

I have just taken madam’s permission.

Did you beat Chenga Reddy’s worker?

He is one of the biggest suppliers of mica ore.

- You come! - Stop it, Rahul!

Balu, why did you hit him?

Madam, he is making the boy work, madam.

He was beating him as well.

What?

Why are we buying material from a vendor that encourages child labor?

Change the vendor!

That’s not in my hands.

It’s your father’s concern.

I'm sure you'll talk to him.

This is my company. And you can leave.

- Balu… - Yes, madam?

We have the investors’ summit tomorrow.

- We must get ready for it. - Should I beat someone there, madam?

Balu! It’s your second day.

You beat up the vendor. You got into a tiff with Rahul.

I probably should carefully carry you around like a baby.

But I cannot carry you.

- I will take you around. - Okay, madam.

Hey, my cute, little precious! Isn’t this called love?

Hey! You are all mine And I love you all the more!

Your silent refrains whatever they tell me

I listen to them earnestly And get enraptured

Such great fortune is In no one’s destiny, I say

My life has taken a turn thanks to your being magnanimous

Hey, my cute, little precious! Isn’t this called love?

Hey! You are all mine And I love you all the more!

In the once upon a time story You are the princess for sure

With no airs, for my sake You have come down, I know

For eyes that lack dreams You are the light of Diwali

Joining me as my heart’s rhythm You have raised my worth

Oh, my girl! Whatever magic you worked

You have brought me the sky of love

In another life,

I must be your Romeo That’s how you make me feel

Hey, my cute, little precious! Isn’t this called love?

Hey! You are all mine And I love you all the more!

All these years I knew Not so much vividness

Living on earth I have touched the lightning

In the depths of your heart I have seen my name

I will write a love story On our life’s tale

Hey, my cute, little precious! Isn’t this called love?

Hey! You are all mine And I love you all the more!

- Hey, Mansoor! - Brother?

- Call Chakrapani. - Sure, brother.

Brother… I will fire him immediately.

If this is repeated, I will come to Hyderabad myself.

Brother…

This won’t happen in the future, brother.

I will make sure it won’t, brother. Okay, brother.

- Here, madam. - Chitra!

Good morning, sir.

You rejected the candidate I had recommended.

Forget it.

But you have appointed an underqualified man as marketing head.

Leave that as well.

Don’t get involved in Chenga Reddy’s issue.

- Dad, they encourage child labor… - Chitra!

Learn to turn a blind eye to certain things.

Okay?

You are an entrepreneur. Behave like an entrepreneur.

Understand?

Come on.

I told you to sit and collect your salary.

But you want to stand up and teach.

What did your teacher say?

He said, "If you study, you can live and help the others live."

Bring him back to life now.

Sir?

Sir!

Everyone lies to you.

Schooling won’t give you a life.

Keep the slate aside, and come to the quarry.

Pick up the basket, you will live.

It will definitely work.

Perfect, I'm looking forward to this happening.

- We’ll let you know at the earliest. - Yeah.

- I wish you good luck! - Thank you!

- All the best. - Bye.

Bye.

Madam!

Madam!

Thank you, Balu! This is exactly what I needed.

Who knows you better, madam?

Balu, are you this caring towards everyone?

Not everyone, madam.

Kids, sometimes my mom, and now you.

Madam! I heard the investors were impressed by your presentation.

Almost.

Let me close this deal. Then I will show my dad.

What do you mean?

Why should I listen to you? Why should I be scolded by you?

Why should I marry whichever donkey that you bring me?

Who? Me?

Not you. My dad.

Madam, who is the donkey by the way?

- Rahul… - What?

- You don’t like him? - No way.

But… Madam, everyone in the office says you both are getting married.

My foot. Yuck!

So, I am supposed to spread this rumor during teatime tomorrow.

Thank you, God.

Nothing.

Madam…

you are single now, right?

Why? Will you introduce me to someone?

I'd prefer to stick my finger in a socket than resort to such stupid things.

Hey, Sudha! Come on.

Hey, why did you come here?

A pint here costs as much as a full bottle.

Sudha! It’s been three days since I crossed that dark phase.

Madam, this is my friend.

- Hi! - You said you wouldn't introduce anyone.

Who? This guy? He's your brother by birth, madam.

- You can shake hands. - Hi…

- We've been best friends since childhood. - That's nice.

Hey, Sudha. Do you know why I asked you to come here?

To foot the bill?

No, no.

Darling, Sudha!

Don’t manhandle me in front of a lady.

Madam… one minute.

Hey, fatso!

Idiot! I noticed the bar as I passed by in the car.

There's a one-plus-one offer.

Bro, buy it and I'll gulp down the complimentary drink.

- Okay. - Promise?

My salary is a lakh, man.

Ten to fifteen sessions happen every month.

Hey, no matter how humiliated you feel, don’t be haughty and quit the job.

- Okay, bro. Madam? - Balu.

It's my friend's birthday today. Could you drop me off, please?

Definitely, madam.

It’s his bike. Happy journey.

Bye.

Hey, bro! Money for the metro ticket.

Hey, I don’t have it either.

- Shall I give it? - Please don’t, madam.

Do one thing… Go to the metro, say my name, and buy a ticket. Okay?

- Bye. - Okay.

- Bye. - Metro and your name…

Hey, hey! What do you mean use your name at the metro?

Enough of your excuses, Dad.

- One minute, Balu. - Pattabhi told me you were coming today.

I’ve been waiting at home the whole day.

I wanted to spend time with you on my birthday at least.

But you don’t even remember my birthday.

You have spent only eleven days with me this year, Dad.

Not even a day per month.

I am sure those visits were also on business.

Not for me.

I wish I died along with my mother.

Speak up, Dad!

Happy birthday, madam!

Who are you?

Who sent you?

What, sir? Didn’t you tell her?

Why do you look shocked? Tell her.

For over a month, madam…

Your dad has been calling me asking if it will come on time.

Remember I called you this afternoon, sir?

Mastan Civil Supplies, always on time, sir.

Please, take it, madam. Please.

Why didn’t you wish me then, Dad?

It was a surprise, madam. Surprise!

What is in it, Dad?

That is also a surprise.

Please, open it.

Hey, Chitra!

- Come in. - Happy birthday!

Thank you!

Greetings, uncle.

Greetings. How are you, dear?

I am good, uncle.

- Shall we go in? - Yes.

For the past ten minutes, I couldn’t look into my daughter’s eyes.

You brought some box, and said something…

And my daughter has forgiven me.

But who are you? Tell me.

Sir, I work for madam.

I have accompanied her.

I wanted to lighten the situation. So, I passed off her gift as yours, sir.

It was a great help, man.

I want to do something for you as well.

Come. Let’s have a drink.

No, thank you, sir.

I don’t drink with ladies around.

It’s okay. Come on my boy.

Sir, ask me once more and I will be tempted to drink.

- No, sir. I will wait outside. - Wait.

Give me your number.

Here, sir. I saved it as Balu.

Whatever you need, before you call your parents, call me.

- Okay? - Okay, sir.

I will wait outside, sir.

Aunty, see what he is doing.

Hey!

You must whisper your wishes in Nandi’s ear.

How come you are listening?

I have already submitted my wishes. Trying to see if I can get a reply.

Madam!

Madam…

- Hi, madam! - Hi, Balu!

How come you are here?

Hey, is this a central jail meant only for the guilty?

I have come here to seek blessings.

Who is this girl?

I work in her company.

Really?

She looks like a doll!

- What is your name? - Chitra, Aunty.

Dear, are you married?

No, Aunty.

- Are you in love with someone? - No, Aunty.

Will you marry my son?

- What? - Tell me.

How could she ask her like that?

Why wouldn’t a mother know her son’s heart?

He is a very nice boy.

Very handsome.

Not one bad habit.

Mother’s love.

He will take good care of you.

He earns two lakh rupees per month.

This is also a mother's love.

My foot! She is lying in the face of your employer.

He speaks good English.

He works as a doctor at Sunshine Hospital.

Not you, she is talking about your brother.

Mom! Come here!

- Enough of your drama. - Just a minute, please.

- Come on. - Hey, hey…

- What is it? - What were you talking to her?

Don’t change relationships. We both are in love.

Shut up. I don’t believe you. You are lying.

Okay… I am in love with her.

- Did you tell her? - I have told Nandi.

Hey, come on. I will go talk to her.

What do you mean?

- Hey, wait. Send mom in auto. - Don’t stop me.

- Come, let’s go. - Go where?

I am trying to get a factory in Rayalaseema.

Are you going to set up one, sir?

No.

Some guy named Japan is trying to set it up.

I have come to tell him there is land available in Rayalaseema.

It creates 7000 jobs.

Which means nearly 30 thousand people will not be hungry anymore.

Do it, sir.

To me… you look like…

Go ahead.

I am trying to.

- But they are causing roadblocks. - Who, sir?

ANDHRA PRADESH SECRETARIAT

Chenga Reddy… is a highly obstinate man.

He expands mines and occupies lands around them.

He has finally come as far as

the land that the government has allotted for the factory.

When we complained to the Minister…

Demanding an inquiry on the lands you have occupied beyond permit…

he has sent us a huge book.

Your MLA.

This is my brother-in-law.

Transfer the mines to his name.

You have made enough.

Move!

He rendered his brother-in-law’s body in two

because he was interfering with the mines.

He is not human, sir.

Let's eliminate him.

Let’s kill him, sir. Let’s.

My enemy happens to be my own son-in-law.

I can only reform him.

I can’t afford to kill him.

My brother’s daughter… unable to bear his torture, came running to me with injuries.

- Where is Uncle? - What’s wrong?

What happened?

Don’t you hear? Where is Uncle?

He is at the shop.

Parvathy, what happened, dear?

What is new, Uncle?

My husband commits a crime.

You try to stop it.

But to stop you,

don’t you know he will beat me up and send me to you?

You got me married to him.

I know you cannot kill him, Uncle.

I have suffered my husband’s torture in silence.

Whoever you have sent the file to,

has come and placed the file at my husband’s feet.

Leave the quarry alone, Uncle.

I don’t have the energy to come here again with bruises.

When I saw her tears,

I took a step back, even though. it meant great harm to the village.

He uses a woman as his shield and you dance to his tunes?

You look a bit reduced to me now, sir.

Kill him, sir.

What makes you laugh, sir?

Forget it, man.

What do you mean forget it? Give me your hand.

My mother tells me, sir.

"Don’t give your word. But don’t break it once you do."

Remember this.

Let your son-in-law stand in the way or let Lord of Death approach me…

Even if the noose is stifling me…

Whatever your problem may be, I shall solve it.

I promise you.

She looks better than I did in these.

Geeta, take madam’s blessings.

Hey, hey…

Is this what you are teaching her?

Go on. Go.

Happy birthday, Geeta. Mom, here.

Say thanks to sir.

What do you mean sir? Call me brother, dear.

What happened?

- Sir has pinched me, brother. - Why?

He pinches me for no reason, brother.

She comes up with some excuse or the other to skip school.

Okay, Mom. Take her inside and let her try these clothes.

If they are too tight, I will exchange them.

- Okay, come. - Go.

Come.

Balu!

Is he human or a beast?

And not just on her hand! Lecherous dog!

He pinched her all over her body.

Even in her private parts.

Poor kid! What must she have gone through?

- May I come in, sir? - Come in.

Why are you late?

It’s my birthday today, sir.

So what if it’s your birthday? Can you come late to school?

Come up here.

If it’s your birthday, do you think you can come late?

- Sir! Sorry, sir! - Will you come late?

Tell me.

No, sir! Please, sir!

No, sir!

Please, sir!

- You won’t come late again, will you? - No, sir!

Do you understand?

- Will you come late? - Sir, sorry sir!

Tell me!

Come late again and hey…

Hey!

Hello? Hey, send me the Corporator’s number. Fast.

What happened?

Uncle, the FIR is not ready yet. Come.

Sir.

Balu’s father, sir.

Greetings, sir.

I am Sundara Rammurthy, Excise Department.

- Please, sit. - Thank you.

That’s my son, sir.

Please don’t file the FIR, sir. His future will be ruined.

He has hacked the hand of a school teacher.

What do you want us to do without filing an FIR?

How can you support a youngster's wrongdoing?

Sir, when he was a kid…

He noticed a girl in the seat before him on the school bus having periods.

He removed his shirt,

and gave it to her saying, "Sister, wear this and go home."

When he reached home,

I asked him why his shirt was missing and beat him.

One day later…

The girl’s mother…

came home carrying his shirt, handed it to my wife,

and said, “How did you teach him such decency at such a young age?”

She thanked her and left.

That is the kind of upbringing we have given him.

He helped a girl when he was too young to understand things.

If he has hacked the hand of a teacher,

I am sure the teacher is at fault.

The school management is coming here with evidence.

Sorry. Try to understand.

Please.

Those who sever heads also get bail.

After all, this is only a hand.

We will see.

Sir, CCTV footage.

Please, sit.

File the complaint.

Sign it.

I didn’t know it was our school.

- No case. Get going. - Madam?

- Your dad… - I will speak to him.

- You can go. - Who are you?

She is our Chairman’s daughter.

Let’s go, Aunty. Please, come, Uncle.

Come on, Balu.

There is no case. Come.

Madam!

Thank you, madam.

It’s okay, Balu.

Balu…

When your dad mentioned what you did as a kid,

I was so impressed.

I feel like adopting you.

- Come home with me. - My mom won’t agree.

Your mom has your elder brother!

But I have only one mom!

Do one thing. Find an auspicious day and come home yourself.

You can stay there lifelong.

- Lifelong? - Yes.

You say I can stay?

Enchanting Chitravati…

You make me go crazy

Hi, waving a green flag In your eyes

You have crowned me the emperor

I was born for you I made a promise at birth

Wrapping up in flowers I offered you myself

Placing my hand in yours Snapping my finger at your cheeks

What more? I said let’s take it lightly And changed my surname as well

You are my colorful, precious butterfly Enclosing me with your dotted wings

You have become the queen of my fort Planting gentle kisses on my little heart

Hey! Oh, girl, your beauty… Is a sensational novel!

Read a little every day like a story

When you are with me The moon shines in the day

Has love turned you Into a poet this way?

Asking it to borrow your name I shall call the beautiful storm

To flood over me and leave So shall I invite it every day

Your love as big as a mountain Wondering where to hide it…

I shall approach the world banks to allot me lockers

You are my colorful, precious butterfly You enclose me with your dotted wings

You have become the queen of my fort Planting gentle kisses on my little heart

Calling you my sunrise refusing to sleep tight

I have dreamed a billion of your dreams!

I become the island And surrounding me all the time

That way and this way It’s all the waves of your thoughts

You are my colorful, precious butterfly You enclose me with your dotted wings

You?

Leave them there and go. We have guests at home.

Hey, guests? Who?

What difference does it make to us? Let's go.

Tell me, Mom.

Your madam is here.

Hey, if my madam is here, why are you sending me away?

She is talking to your brother.

Why should we disturb them?

You alone are enough. Move! Hold this.

Hey!

- Hi, madam! What brings you here? - Hi!

Today is my birthday, Balu.

There is a party in the evening. All of you must attend it.

But I thought you don’t like these things?

Hey, first wish her.

- Happy birthday, madam. - Thank you!

It's nothing, Balu.

Since this is my last birthday with my dad,

he is planning it on a slightly grand scale.

But why? Is uncle unwell?

No!

- For a few days… - Hey, shush.

She means she’ll get married and go away before her next birthday.

Okay, Balu. Let’s meet at the party in the evening.

You have to come.

Sudarshan… You as well.

See you, Aunty.

- Bye. - Bye!

- Okay. - Okay, dear.

- Mom? - Yes?

Get my blue color blazer ready.

Hey, we both are in love.

I was talking about the medical conference, man.

After all you are my elder brother. So, I just put in a word.

Take care of your conference.

What are you planning on gifting her for her birthday?

We will put in a thousand each and buy her a rice cooker, aunty.

Why don’t we buy her a mosquito bat?

- It will be much cheaper. - Really?

How did we even become friends? Idiot!

Mom!

What now?

I mean…

What do you want me to do?

Only you can, mom.

Hey, I won’t give you my jewelry.

- I won’t give you. - It’s okay. Give me.

I won’t give it to you.

- Hey what is this? - The temple jewelry she wore

for my wedding.

- Mom, that would be nice. - I don’t want to give.

- Happy birthday. - Thank you!

Happy birthday, madam.

- Thank you! - Madam, gift.

What? Did you want to give me a gift and leave?

No.

Come up on stage, feed me the cake, smile for the cameras…

Then hand me the gift and leave only after having your dinner.

Okay.

Madam.

I want to tell you how beautiful you are.

But my education doesn’t seem to help.

I cannot find words at all.

It’s okay, Balu.

Your eyes have conveyed it all.

You spent the whole night writing these lines, didn’t you?

No. When you see a beautiful girl,

- it comes in a flow. - In a flow?

- Flow! - Flow.

Happy birthday to you!

Hi!

I am really happy this evening.

If I am celebrating my daughter’s birthday on such a grand scale…

It’s because there is a surprise waiting for you.

Rahul!

He is Rahul.

CEO of Hamsini Group of Companies. My would-be son-in-law.

What’s happening?

He is the guy who severed our school teacher’s hand, sir.

They are in love.

Before you give me a shock, I gave you a surprise, dear.

- Whatever your dad does is for your… - Mom!

These days, when a girl doesn't like the groom, she walks out of the venue.

Do you think I care about this stupid announcement?

I have set up my own company because I don’t appreciate Dad’s illegal business.

I didn’t even touch his money. Why would I marry the boy he brings?

Chitra!

Her dad is walking towards us. Let's leave.

Wait.

Let’s say bye to Chitra. Or she will feel bad.

- Hey, do you have any… - Hey, for my sake. Please!

Where to?

To inform Chitra before I leave.

I will kill you if I see you with Chitra again.

Rahul!

Wait.

Let me speak to them in the language they understand.

One snap of my finger and you’ll be dead.

Do you want to marry my daughter?

Dad!

Balu is here on my invitation!

Balu, I am really sorry.

Please, leave.

Let’s talk tomorrow.

It’s okay, just a minute.

Uncle, you were saying something about clicks and claps?

Only you? Or is it okay if I do it as well?

You may need all those goons behind you

and a lot of influence to click your fingers.

All I need is two fingers.

Let’s see!

Hey, darling, kiddos!

I will snap my fingers and then let’s fight.

Your dad is no more.

Let’s go to our village.

Hey, are you mad? My dad is right in front of me.

What is he saying, Mom?

Hey…

He is not your dad.

You are not our son.

You only grew up with us.

That’s all.

Do you hear yourself, Mom?

You are my brother Mahakaleswar Reddy’s son.

It’s inevitable that you come.

There is not much time, Son.

Go and come back.

When you come back, I will explain everything.

Unless you tell me first, I am not going anywhere!

If you don’t leave without a word…

I swear on myself.

Come.

We have come to an auspicious event while we are still mourning.

I don’t want to defile you.

Hence, I am leaving your people untouched.

- Go along. - Okay.

22KMS TO BRAHMA SAMUDRAM MORNING 6:15

Hey, stop the car.

Okay, sir.

Rudra, get down.

Why you had to live away from us…

What sort of lives we have been leading…

You must know everything.

You were not even a year old.

When your mom and dad were traveling with you…

They met with an accident.

Your dad had slipped into a coma.

Your mum was barely hanging on to her life.

This is not an accident.

This is an attack on my husband or my son who is hardly one year old.

Afraid and desperate to protect you…

- Take him. - She took word from me.

Sneha!

She met her childhood friend.

And sent you away with her.

When your father came out of the coma…

we lied to him saying that you died along with your mom.

There were two groups here.

On one side was injustice and atrocity.

On the other side was your father, fighting them.

I must first tell you about your father.

One day, Chenga Reddy’s men molested a female student at Rayalappa’s barn.

I will do one thing.

I will call a few suspects to the station tomorrow.

Let us see if the girl can identify them.

That's not necessary.

What, brother?

You want the girl to come looking for her molester?

What kind of job are you all doing? We want no case. Get going.

- Pattabhi! Send them away. - Okay, sir.

Let’s go. Come.

Why do you feel distressed?

Any girl molested for no fault of hers

is as pure as Bhadra Kali in Lepakshi temple.

No voice in Rayalaseema would say that

Mahakaleswar Reddy didn’t get them justice.

Because…

Go ahead.

Can you really identify them, daughter?

- Pattabhi… - Sir!

Come.

Your dad was a very thoughtful person but he made a mistake.

He believed that turning vengeance into love would benefit the village.

He asked me to give my daughter's hand in marriage to Chenga Reddy…

and gave him the mica mines as a dowry.

Chenga Reddy dug into the mines that were far away from the village,

and came as far as the temple on the outskirts of the village.

He thought that his atrocities would come to light if people visited the temple.

So, he closed down the commuting path.

Irrespective of gender, he forced everyone to mine for him as far as he could reach.

Now, he's sending kids into the mines.

Why do you want to make money at the expense of children’s lives?

Stop mining.

That’s not going to happen, Uncle.

I gave you the mines as a dowry.

Don't extend it to the point where I need to reclaim them forcibly. Stop mining.

We believe this wasn't accidental, similar to what happened with your mom.

Only God must know the truth.

Before I find out whether they were accidents or not…

send me away.

Fire!

- Pattabhi! - Sir?

Show him his dad’s room upstairs.

Please come, sir.

Mom!

Just check.

I must be some Anil Ambani or Adani’s son, Mom.

You must have got me and raised me.

I don’t even look like him.

Try to remember, Mom.

I can’t live in this poverty, Dad. Please, Mom!

Hey! What should we remember? You…

It’s coffee, sir.

Why do you wake me up in the middle of the night and give me coffee, stupid face?

It’s five in the morning.

Our sir would have coffee at this time every day.

I got it assuming that you might have the same habit.

We have some other habits. Get lost!

Hey, hold on.

It’s a new place. We couldn’t sleep.

- Come here. - Coffee.

Leave! Bat face!

What is this?

Neem coffee. Sir used to drink the same.

- Look… - Satti.

Look, Satti! Your sir and I are poles apart.

Be prepared, or you will be disappointed.

Sir used to drink the same way.

Hey, Sudha!

Who on earth would drink water differently?

Hey, do you drink water through your nose?

You didn’t eat anything last night.

Breakfast is ready. Please come and have some.

Enough, please.

A little for me as well.

- Have it, son. - That’s enough, mother.

Madam, Vajra is refusing to eat.

She has been crying since yesterday.

I don’t know what to say in such situations.

I have never been in this situation before.

Though he spent only eleven days in a year with you…

that’s definitely more than he spent with me.

I have a nice family in Hyderabad.

Mom, Dad, and my elder brother.

Also, my mom is very fond of girls.

They will take good care of you.

Please come with us after the ceremony.

I don’t know how else to console you.

Please, come and eat.

Hey, come on.

Brother, we want to go around the village.

- Sir, one minute. - Hey, come on.

Please, keep this.

What for?

You are going out. You might need it for expenses.

I have money, brother. Come on.

Satti! Repay my loan. It’s been long.

I will pay next time. I haven't got my salary yet.

Hey, an old loan? I will pay it up how much?

22,500 sir.

- 22,500? - Yes, sir.

Hey, how do you owe so much in such a small shop?

Brother Satti loves Chegodi in my shop.

- 22,500 for Chegodi? - Yes, sir.

You chewed up the budget for two states and look at you blushing!

I guess he is smoking for the first time.

The idiot doesn’t seem to know where to let the smoke out.

Who is this?

My daughter.

She is so cute.

- What’s her name? - You must name her, sir.

Me? I've never named anyone before.

- Please don’t say that sir. - Hey, Rudra!

Whenever a baby was born in this village, your father would name them.

Name this baby now.

Please, don’t refuse, sir. I swear on the child.

Why do you swear on an infant?

Chitravati.

That's a great name, sir.

Here.

One minute.

Hey, Sudha. Give me some money.

- Here. - Take this.

- Buy something for the baby. - Sure, sir.

Just a minute.

Where to? Let’s go out.

And? Do you want to beg around?

You gave them all the money. Let me get some.

Hey, don’t ask Pattabhi.

Sir, I won’t ask anyone from your dynasty. I am getting my own money.

As if he is from Raja Bahadur’s family. And he spends my money.

Hello?

How are you?

I was just going to call you.

How is Balu?

What can I say?

He lost his father a few days ago.

He suddenly discovered his parents were not his own.

He has been crying ever since.

In all this pain, when he was asked to christen a baby…

Do you know what he named her?

Chitravati.

I am not able to console him alone.

Why don’t you come here?

Me?

Why don’t you both come back?

He cannot step out of the village for eleven days. There are some rituals.

Okay. I will come there myself.

Take care of Balu.

Okay. Please come.

Is he really your uncle’s son?

Or was your aunt tempted?

- Hey, Mansoor! - Brother?

Tomorrow, I am going to the party office in Vijayawada to get my ticket.

I leave in the morning.

- Take care of the quarry. - Sure, brother.

Kid, the shop here…

The shop is closed, sister. What do you want?

- I need a water bottle, dear. - Come, sister.

How far, honey?

Baby, can you pump some water? I want to drink.

This is not our bore, sister. It’s the chief’s.

Ours is a little ahead. Let’s go.

- What is your name? - Ganga.

Ganga has restrictions on water?

One minute.

- Keep this. - I don’t want it, sister.

Why, dear?

We are going to offer Pongal to Poleramma.

My hands are hard from working, sister.

Can you make them like yours?

Do you want nail polish?

Come. I will paint your nails.

Not now, sister.

When I go to work tomorrow, they will get spoilt.

Can you paint them for the festival?

Okay.

Take this chocolate.

- Where is your house? - Right here.

Anyone will show you if you ask for Polaiah.

If I am here till the fair, I will surely attend it. Okay?

How was the journey?

Not bad.

Vajra, where is Balu?

I will find out. Freshen up in the meantime.

Over there.

- Hey, who is that? - Your madam, brother.

- My madam? - Yes

You guys play. I will be right back.

- Hey, play this as well. - Okay.

Madam? What is she doing here?

Madam…

Madam, what are you doing here?

You think only you have relatives in Rayalaseema. We don't?

Hey, she is talking about relatives. Find out quickly.

What if she is your sister by relation?

- Hey, go and play. - Hey, it’s not that.

Madam…

- How are you, Balu? - I am fine, madam.

- Your engagement… - Didn’t happen. I have come away.

I don’t get you.

I told them I was coming to you, packed my bags, and left home.

- You have eloped? - I said I had informed them.

- How could you do that? - Won’t they accept me at your home?

I don’t know which is my home right now.

But they will accept me in either house, right?

If I tell my mother I am in love with a Taliban,

she would still say tie the knot. That’s no problem at all.

Madam…

- I have a sincere doubt. - Tell me, Balu.

Your engagement was announced on your birthday.

Are you marrying me because you don’t like the guy or are you in love with me?

Sanjeevaiah!

Please, carry the milk to the temple.

Not possible, priest! Who'll come that far?

Can you get this milk can to the temple? I will pay you.

Who will carry it over the rocks? Come on, priest.

Son!

Today is Mahashivaratri.

It’s time for Lord Shiva’s anointing. Please, get this milk to the temple.

You will be blessed.

I would definitely come, priest. But I am in mourning.

I shouldn’t come.

Lord Shiva himself resides in the cremation ground.

How can we defile Him?

Please, wait outside. I will call you once I finish the worship, son.

Sure, priest.

Son, the anointing was done marvelously thanks to you.

I haven't seen you here before. Who are you visiting?

We are at Mr. Mahakaleswar Reddy’s house.

Who is he to you?

It’s his father.

Son, isn’t your name Rudra Kaleswar Reddy?

Yes.

It was I who conducted your naming ceremony.

In this same portico, while you were in your mother’s lap,

I gave you this very Lord’s name.

After your mother’s death, in her memory,

your father had renovated this temple which was in ruins.

From the veneration plate to the Nandi, everything carries your mother’s name.

Including the bench you are sitting on.

Let me complete the adoration and I will call you, son.

- Please take the offering before you go. - Okay.

Please, touch this once.

They are all good people.

Very good people.

IN MEMORY OF SNEHALATA REDDY

They must have gone through hell for sending me away.

It’s okay. Don’t be disturbed. Let’s go.

Let's stay here for a while.

This bench feels like my mother's lap.

IN MEMORY OF SNEHALATA REDDY

Son, please come and take the offering.

May you be blessed with a long life, good health, and great wealth.

Sir, please, stop. Stop! I beg you.

Don’t disturb this temple, please! Don’t touch this temple.

- Hey, priest! - It’s a great sin, sir!

This temple will be razed today.

Sir…

Hey, let’s not. This is not our concern let’s go

They are demolishing the temple

that my father had rebuilt in my mother’s memory.

How is it not my concern?

The sitting MLA has expired.

So, I recommend Mr. Chenga Reddy for the ticket in the by-election.

Don’t be mistaken…

Of course, he is the son-in-law.

But I heard there is an heir.

The heir didn’t grow up here. He didn’t live here.

What would he know about local politics?

Let’s do this. Arrange for a meeting at your place.

All of us will come there.

Let him declare that he supports his brother-in-law.

That’s enough.

He is not concerned about his own family why would he bother about the village?

Actually…

Yes, Mansoor?

He beat up the men who went to demolish the temple.

- Who? - Mahakaleswar Reddy’s son, I was told.

I will drag him here and kill him right away, brother.

No, Mansoor.

We need his support.

Don’t kill him.

You talk about support and my guy talks of murder.

I will fix the meeting date and let you know.

Let’s meet at Brahma Samudram.

Madam… your son-in-law is here.

How are you, son? Hasn’t my daughter come?

No.

Sit, Chengaiah.

I am holding a meeting tomorrow.

Important party members from Vijayawada are attending it.

Don’t you get it?

They are giving me Uncle’s MLA ticket.

Come with him tomorrow and declare your support for me on the stage.

Why do you need us?

Right? I told them you are no good.

Still, the party leaders insisted on bringing you.

Son, the worship is over. Please wash your hands and feet.

Once the formalities are over, we will leave.

Sure.

I forgot.

Your daughter has sent clothes for him.

I will present them to him.

Chenga…

He is leaving for Hyderabad tomorrow.

I will talk to him and convince him, father-in-law.

What difference will one day make?

I heard you were at the quarry.

Why fight at the temple?

Because you were reminded of your mother?

Do you know how your mother died?

You were told your parents were killed in an accident.

But are you stupid enough to believe that?

I gave you these mines as dowry.

Don’t take it so far that I will have to snatch them back from you.

Stop it now.

Hey! This is the last time.

Give it up.

Next time, I'll forget that you are my son-in-law and I will kill you.

I didn't remember that he was my uncle.

It belongs to your father. It came in the way when I was slitting his throat.

You survived by mistake when you were little.

Now, I spare your life for your support.

Your life is your brother-in-law’s charity to you twice.

Hey, Mansoor!

You have been hiding from me for 25 years out of fear.

I didn’t feel like buying you a dhoti at all.

Wear this sari and go on the procession.

I’ve convinced him. He is staying.

Train him for tomorrow and get him.

Mr. Mahakaleswar Reddy is not dead.

He is alive in our hearts.

Mr. Chenga Reddy is willing to serve us in the place of Mr. Mahakaleswar Reddy.

Not only in the constituency of Brahma Samudram but across the entire state…

there is no one who doesn’t know him.

I request Mr. Mahakaleswar Reddy’s son, Rudra Kaleswar Reddy to speak.

TRIBUTE TO A GREAT LEADER

Hello!

What? Is he talking on the phone?

I am new to this village.

And to its people.

My dad didn’t teach me politics while I was seated on his lap.

I know nothing about it.

I am not fit for politics.

Mr. Chenga Reddy is someone who grew up very close to Mr. Mahakaleswar Reddy.

Mr. Chenga Reddy himself has invited the candidate with ceremonious clothes…

Ms. Vajra Kaleswari Devi!

She is going to contest as MLA.

I declare my total support for her.

They said we don’t know about laying roads.

…or about building reservoirs.

They said we knew nothing about building bridges.

We have tolerated it all.

But…

It is our responsibility to ensure that no woman in our constituency sheds tears.

If she does, we will not spare the scoundrel who causes them.

- He spoke just like his father, brother. - Not just the speech.

For a moment, everyone could see the man himself.

All the best.

Let’s pick an auspicious day and file the nomination.

Long live… Rudra Kaleswar Reddy.

Long live… Rudra Kaleswar Reddy.

Long live… Rudra Kaleswar Reddy.

Long live… Rudra Kaleswar Reddy.

Long live… Rudra Kaleswar Reddy.

Long live… Rudra Kaleswar Reddy.

I wanted to kill him the same day.

You talked about some support and stopped me.

Send for the Temple Committee of Garudapuram.

Got it, brother.

- What brings you all here? - Greetings.

I have already sent money for the festival.

What is it? Is that not enough? Do you need more?

- Hey, Pattabhi! Take care of it. - Sir…

Money is not the problem, brother.

They want to make an issue about the sacred pot.

- Who? - Chenga Reddy.

What is it now?

Just because he didn’t support him, he wants to kill Rudra?

Instead of sending him there, I rather poison him myself.

I am not sending him there.

Brother, Chenga Reddy is insistent.

What now?

Our boy won’t come. What is he going to do?

Hey, Pattabhi! Drive them away.

Move.

Why would he come if the committee asked him?

Send a message through the right people in a way that he understands.

- Do you understand? - Okay, brother.

- Greetings. - Madam!

My grandma is inside. She cannot walk.

She is very fond of your father. She wants to see you.

- Can you come in once? - Surely.

- Let's go. - Please, come.

Please, come.

Hey! Leave me!

Let go!

Let go!

Let go!

You grew up away from Rayalaseema.

You are delicate, soft, and ravishing.

Tell him it was Mansoor who touched you.

If he is a legitimate son of your dad’s, ask him to come and move the sacred pot.

GARUDAPURAM FESTIVAL WELCOME

What is your business here?

We found out that they were moving the sacred pot again.

Sir asked me to make sure there is no problem.

There are a hundred men standing with knives.

If a few of them attack you in the dark, will your SP come to your rescue?

Get going!

Go!

Hey, I will go in and check.

If he's already in there, I will kill him myself.

But…

if he arrives from outside, finish him off!

Yes!

- This is a sin! - Move aside!

Well, there you are!

Please carry on, priest.

Ever since I touched your sister…

I can’t take my mind off her.

Once I finish you off…

I will go straight to her.

Do you think you can play games with Chenga Reddy?

Childish fool!

Really?

Madam, please come once.

- Where? - To ward off the evil eye.

- From who? - Rudra.

Why?

He is the son of a man who beheaded people who molested women.

Why would he spare someone who touched his own sister?

With the whole village watching, he burnt the culprit alive!

Not just my sister…

Touch any girl in Rayalaseema…

And I will burn you alive! Scoundrels!

Tell him!

Out of empathy for my sister who is under his roof…

every morsel of food he eats is the charity of Rudra Kaleswar Reddy!

What are you looking at?

I will tear your hearts out, rascals! Take him away.

Mr. Balu, what are you thinking?

Nothing, madam.

Are you really the Balu who was working in my company?

You get so angry when someone is at fault that you want to kill them!

And I made you sell lipsticks and nail polish!

I must hit myself with my slipper.

Come on!

This is an emotion.

That is my livelihood.

Livelihood?

Such words don’t suit you. Don’t. Leave them.

You hacked the hand of a man who touched a kid.

Fine.

You set ablaze the man who touched your sister.

Super!

I wonder what all you must have done for a girlfriend in the past.

You misunderstand me. I have no such past.

No girlfriends?

You look quite handsome.

I do. But what can I tell you?

There were always teachers around, so I never spoke to girls in class.

If I tried to talk to them after class in the parking…

I had a mom who wouldn’t leave me for a moment.

She would be there one hour early. One hour!

She would carry me home planting kisses all the way.

All the girls there wouldn’t stop laughing, madam.

Continuous laughter.

It’s okay, Balu. You were a kid then.

Who was a kid? I was in the tenth grade.

Tenth?!

Thanks to my mom, I stopped looking at girls.

My friend and girlfriend in those days was only my mom.

Poor Mom. I don’t know how she is.

Oh my! Tears!

- See… - Don’t cry. It's okay.

There is no connection between what you do and how you cry, Balu.

Why do you call me Balu?

Everyone here is calling me Rudra Kaleswar Reddy.

Mr. Bala Kotaiah!

They don’t call husbands by name in Rayalaseema.

- Balu is better. - Fine then.

Have your comfort.

Don’t worry about me.

Are you comfortable?

Hey, boy! Dear boy… Will you join me?

On the paths of mischief Will you take my hand?

In my tiny little heart, like a blue jay Will you celebrate my trepidation?

Leelammo, Leelammo… Will you cast me a lovely glance?

With your round beautiful eyes Will you slice through my heart?

With your wheel like eyes Would you slice through my heart?

Would you go all round Seema?

Come on, come on Boy Let me fix the date

Making you my groom Let’s play the wedding game

With my tinkling anklets I shall step into your house

Within three months I shall have a bun in the oven

Girl, you are so beautiful beyond words

You are dainty like a long grain of rice

Reddy, your mustache is awesome Hey, I give you a chance, don’t lose it

Every morning my kiss Shall be your breakfast

Every morning my kiss Shall be your breakfast

By afternoon, my curves Shall become your tent

When the sun sets, goes off the alarm

Let’s rock until the rooster crows at morn

Girl, your grace is intoxicating What if we end up in a love duel?

Reddy, your touch is explosive I shall settle all dues with interest

- Parvathy dear! - Aunty!

Dear… Parvathy!

Come out, scoundrel!

- He is not here, brother. - My daughter!

He is hiding somewhere.

Wherever he is, I won’t spare him.

- I will kill him with my bare hands. - Parvathy…

Hey, old hag!

You must have heard of Rama attacking Lanka.

I will show you what happens when the ten-headed Ravana attacks Ayodhya.

- We gave our precious daughter to you… - Hey!

You killed one of my men and are celebrating it.

I'm better than you when it comes to killing.

Wherever you killed men, find them in the same place.

Get lost!

Greetings, sir.

Sir, the forensic team is collecting evidence. You are not allowed there.

You and I both know who has done this. Move!

Hey, get him down.

Pattabhi…

It may not be our Pattabhi, brother.

For 25 years…

He has been taking care of my accounts. Do you think I won’t recognize his hand?

You are going out. You might need it for your expenses.

Take him out.

Wait a minute.

Sir, we have to melt the concrete with chemicals and acids.

But that will melt the flesh and bones as well.

There is no other way but to conduct the ceremony like this.

Chenga Reddy will do what he said.

He will go through all our men and reach you.

If that happens, the word I gave to your mother loses its meaning.

If anything happens to you,

your parents are not even around to forgive me.

Please, leave.

I will go with your sister…

and fall at Chenga Reddy’s feet if necessary…

And beg him to stop this war.

You leave.

I promised my dad that I would solve the problem.

I cannot leave in this situation.

- Balu, come. Let's go. - Where?

There’s something we have to do. Let’s go.

- Where to? - One minute.

- Grandpa! - What are you doing here, sir?

Where is Polaiah’s house here?

I will show you. Follow me.

Please sit, sir.

Sir, you have come to our hut?

Mother…

We are here for Ganga.

Ganga has gone to work. It’s time for her to come home.

What work did you have with Ganga?

She said she was going to offer Pongal to Poleramma,

and so, she wanted me to paint her nails.

Was that you, madam?

She told me as well.

She loves dressing up and accessorizing.

But since she started working in the mines,

she has lost her complexion and looks.

Her hands are ruined from digging that mine, madam.

But why? Aren’t you sending her to school?

Where is the school in this village?

What do you mean? There is no school?

What do the children do?

They have to work for a square meal.

Why can’t you go?

If we had work, why would we send a kid, sir?

Adults have no work here.

Kids have no education.

They are beaten if they hold a slate.

We are beaten if we don’t send them to the quarry.

Instead of starving…

If we send kids to work,

we get at least two meals a day.

There… The vehicle is here. Ganga is coming.

Ganga!

My Ganga!

Ganga! What happened to you?

- Ganga… - Ganga…

Ganga, get up!

What happened to my daughter?

Aunty! Ganga was sent very deep into the mine.

Mud fell through and she died.

Died?

Ganga!

Is my daughter dead?

Is my daughter dead?!

Oh, no! Sir, this is my daughter.

This is my daughter.

She went to work to feed me and now left me with an empty womb.

She never played for joy.

She never slept without pain.

You work hard and get me money.

And I couldn't give you two meals a day. Why were you born to me?

Why were you born to me?

Ganga!

I wanted to take care of her with love and so I named her after my mother.

But she looked after me like her son and became my mother.

She is gone now, sir!

Didn’t you ask sister for nail polish?

Your sister is here. Get up, dear.

Ganga, get up, dear.

My daughter!

She had a simple wish. And I couldn’t fulfill that as well, Balu.

Apply it now.

Do it.

My hands get spoilt because of going to work, sister.

Will you make them like yours?

Ganga! My daughter is gone!

This used to happen to others’ kids. Today it happened to your daughter.

Tomorrow, it will be someone else.

As long as the material was on top, we were digging it.

Now they are sending kids into depths we cannot fit into.

If kids in Brahma Samudram are to survive, that demon Chenga Reddy must die.

But he won’t die.

And our lives won’t change, sir.

Where is the quarry, Grandpa?

- Sir, please forgive us. Please. - You dared to collect water from our bore?

I will hack you to pieces!

Brother, Rudra Kaleswar Reddy is on his way to the quarry.

Before he comes here, he should hear that I killed his foster parents.

Send word to Chakrapani.

BRAHMA SAMUDRAM MINING COMPANY PVT LTD

Hey!

Hey!

After all the sins you have committed, there will be no heaven in your destiny.

Go to hell and tell Yama your friends are on the way…

Tonight will be overtime.

We have reached home. I will call you once the job is done.

Brother, Rudra Kaleswar Reddy is performing a ferocious dance of ire.

Don’t even venture near his home, brother.

Hello?

- What happened, brother? - Let’s make a move.

You?

What brings you here?

Nothing, madam.

It’s okay. Tell me.

Actually… my daughter and your son are in love.

- I have come to discuss the same. - Really?

- Please come, brother. Come inside. - It’s okay, dear.

- It’s okay. - Please come, brother.

- Hey, you guys stay right here. - Sure, brother.

No ladies have come with me.

Right! Husband, please come here.

Here. Put vermilion on brother’s forehead.

- Me? - Do it.

- What’s happening, sir? - She won’t listen, sir.

Get it done with.

I have been watching her for 25 years. She doesn’t budge.

Give it here.

- See you, sir. - Fine.

Brother…

Did you get a call from Brahma Samudram?

Everyone says this one thing about my son…

When he is angry,

he turns into a demon in human form.

After all, I am his mother.

Only I know.

That he becomes Lord Narasimha.

Chengodu or Lingodu… I have no idea.

Send the sari to him.

What?

Do you want to invade Ayodhya with ten heads?

I am not Rama in Ayodhya to watch you invade.

I am Rudra Kaleswar worshiped by Ravana!

I will sever your heads and place them in your hands, you wretch!

FEW MONTHS LATER

How did you manage to raise me for 25 years without instilling any doubts?

Handing me a one-year-old, she said, "Don’t ever send him back here."

She made me promise before she died.

As long as I am alive…

your son won't set foot on this land.

Why do you say that, Mom?

You sent me there, right?

Has your mother ever broken her promise?

But you did send me.

What is his name?

Rudra Kaleswar Reddy.

Can this infant carry so much weight?

Everything must start from the beginning.

Aadikeshava.

How many times should I tell you not to add chilies to upma?

Heartless woman!

Do you know how many times they tried to kill me?

Instead of sending him, the factionist’s son,

how could you send me, an excise employee’s son?!

Nothing will happen to you!

You take after your maternal uncle.

Maternal uncle? Where is he now?

He is away from us and close to people.

Wait.

Why is this so heavy?

It’s yours. I have carried it all these years.

I will take it again if needed.

Keep it.

Hey, Bala Kotaiah!

The maid hasn’t come in today.

Fill the water bottles and place them in the refrigerator. Quick!

What kind of job did I do there? What are you asking me to do now?

I am Rudra Kaleswar Reddy!

Hey, Bala Kotaiah!

What's the name beneath your photo on your Aadhar card? It's Bala Kotaiah!

Keep the water bottles in the fridge and come to Ramya Wines. We’ll discuss.

He sits on the bench and says it feels like his mother’s lap!

I should have doubted him right then…

Will you call me Rudra Kaleswar Reddy?

Get lost, Bala Kotaiah!

Arrive at the office on time starting tomorrow.

No matter what the others think, I am Rudra Kaleswar Reddy.

That's for sure.
