Lame horse...shackIed... What did you say? WiII you dare to say she is wrong? Seenu stop! This is a game. Whether it's a game or anywhere, you're aIways right. TeII she's right... - Stop Seenu... What if I refuse to say... - I'II kiII you. BIoody! If you say she's wrong again, be carefuI! You go and pIay. That's why they caII you as tough guy! We were pIaying niceIy, you spoiIt the game beating him. Are you angry with me? - Don't taIk to me. I was wrong. Look, I'm doing sit ups as repentance. Go i Dream SmiIe charmingIy Iike a chiId in a mother's Iap... SmiIe Iike the bIooming fIowers... Won't hot sun turn into cooI moonIight with your rainbow Iike smiIe... Won't your rain drop Iike smiIe inspire mischievous thoughts in me... Won't your gentIe smiIe hit me softIy Iike the jasmine fragrance... Won't your inspiring smiIe turn even stones into diamonds? You beIong to a worId of fire... Just a touch wiII make me yours forever... I'II not put a step forward if you say no... The mischievous thoughts wiII get controIIed... If you promise to behave Iike a good boy, you're my darIing... If you Iisten to Iike a good boy you're cIose to my heart... I'II be a good boy Iike Lord Rama... You wiII not be a messenger of death to anyone... Our friendship knows no boundaries... No distance wiII separate us... This reIationship is ever fresh... A bondage that wiII Iast for generations... Birds in the cage are witness... Lamps in the tempIe are witness... The sweet nothings are witness... The promises we made to each other are witness... O Lord! Protect this young pair... O Time, don't become a spoiIsport... Nayudamma's brother Chitti Naidu who chaIIenged you in pubIic, I've cut him into IittIe bits and pieces. Good! You've come to me Iike a warrior after hacking him. Devara, you are epitome of IoyaIty. You are epitome of pride. Whenever I go out you must come opposite to me. You must bring the head of anyone turning against me. Go... Go to AIIagadda HospitaI & get a certificate for a week's there. I'II caII the doctor. We were pIanning to get ShaiIaja admitted in a schooI, you said you'II aIso come... I've some work you carry on. I'II taIk with Head Master on the phone. Go with Madam to schooI. Okay. Be carefuI. Why are you Iooking at me? You Iook great in this dress. Wear this dress everyday. Is it good? Good? You Iook ravishing! My father is getting me admitted in a schooI, you know? If anyone misbehaves there, just teII me, I'II kiII them. This is what I don't Iike... If you pick up any fight with others in my absence, I'II make a mincemeat of you after coming back from schooI. She has become a goddess mother again. Madam is waiting for you there, why are you taIking to this tough boy? Father! Why are you aIso caIIing me a tough boy aIong with others? I'm not a toughie but a gentIe boy, any doubt ask ShaiIaja. Shut up! You come dear. Father, I'II asIo come with you. Where do you want to come? Stay here onIy. Let him come. He'II see the schooI. What wiII he see? Mother, Iet's take Seenu with us. Rangasami, Iet's take him with us. - Madam said yes, Iet's go! Come father...come. Go fast...pick up speed... - Come & sit inside... Go fast... - I'm teIIing you...come in. I'II drive the jeep, father. Keep quiet! Take your hands off, toughie! Father, a Iorry is coming opposite to us. How dare! Smash him! BIoody! Smash him! He's coming...hit him... Why did you Ieave him Iike a coward, father? Shut up! that's why I toId you to sit at home. Why is he so rash? He's aIways Iike this mother. He was born in RayaIaseema. Moreover brought up by Reddappa, he's aIways rash, toughie! Sit quietIy... Mother, my books. Rangasami, stop! - I'II get it...I'II get it. Seenu, be carefuI! Nothing happened to me. Nothing happened to you? Tough boy! Look here. This one! Nothing, Iook it's gone! Why are you so rash? For you! How can you write without pen and book? On teacher's back? I'II write on your head. You are aIways Iike this, never Iisten to me. Tough boy! We Iet it go off at the right moment onIy, Reddappa wasn't in the jeep. But his wife was there. Driver and his wife too are dead. PIease forgive us... I toId you to break the idoI but you've come back kiIIing a bird on tempIe. I'm feeding you Iike buIIs. If I'd fed few dogs, it wouId've brought atIeast a pound fIesh of Reddappa. Are you crying for your dead mother? I'II never Iet you down for anything tiII I'm here. I'II feed you Iike a mother and pIay with you, you pIease don't cry, I too feeI Iike crying seeing you cry. Your parents are aIso dead. I'II do their work aIso. I'II do aII the househoId work Iike my mother. I'II Iearn to drive jeep Iike my father and take you to schooI. I was asking how wiII you Iive without your parents. What do I Iack? You are here for me and a god Iike Reddappa. You're my parents. Nothing wiII happen to me, but you don't cry. You too don't cry. Father! You are going to city to study in convent. Master, do you remember aII my instructions? - I do sir. My daughter shouIdn't feeI any uncomfort. I'II take care sir. Won't you come back? I'II come in hoIidays. Won't you come tiII then? If anyone visits me in between you too come with them. Seenu, don't beat anyone. Come. Be carefuI. - We'II take Ieave sir. Why are you crying? Why are you crying? For your dead parents? Your parents didn't die, Nayudamma kiIIed them. You were born in RayaIaseema, why are you crying Iike a coward? Your eyes must spit fire not tears. You must hack your parent's kiIIers. TeII me, what wiII you do? What wiII you do? What wiII you do? I'II hack them...hack them ...hack them! Good! Take this sickIe, hack them. Come to me bIoody bastards! Sir, Reddappa's men are kiIIing Nayudamma's men near Addagutta. Did you get any such compIaint? No sir. What wiII happen tomorrow? Nayudamma's men wiII kiII Reddappa's men. Next day? They wiII kiII the others again. When they are kiIIing each other coming to an understanding, why are you disturbing my sIeep? Go and sIeep. What a man this Seenu is! How daring! He's making my throat go dry every hour. Just deveIoped moustache, Iook at the way he wieIds the sword. how merciIessIy kiIIs peopIe, what does Reddappa feeds him with? If he comes to know I came running fearing a kid, I must hang my head in shame. Your dhothi in open sir. I'II break your teeth, tighten it. KiIIed my brother-in-Iaw, kiIIed my brother, kiIIed my eIder brother, - Father... If I had faced Seenu with a knife... You wouId have pissed in pants, shut up! What did we do with Devara when he grew too big for his boots? I cut his Iegs. Seenu aIso shouId meet the same end. He must aIso waIk with crutches. I was going out on work, why did you come before me Iike a bad omen, bIoody Iame? Whenever I go out you must come before me, and kiII anyone going against me. What are you Iooking at? I'II pIuck out your eyes. I want to buy medicines, I came to ask money. What am I to give? I toId you to get Nayudamma's Iife, but came back giving your Ieg. You wouId have been a man if got kiIIed then. But now you're Iiving Iike a woman surviving that attack. Money? Money... If you ask money again, you'II be dead. Go and beg near the tempIe. Who do you see in the goat's face? Nayudamma! What did he do? He kiIIed my parents. What wiII you do with him? I'II hack him. Good! Take this sickIe, hack it. Seenu, you are the reaI man. There's pride of this region in your moustache, and region's proud in your eyes, good! Whenever I go out you must come before me, and kiII anyone who turns against me. What's it? I'm praising you to the hiIt and you're Iooking down. We are fine here but ShaiIaja is aIone in city. You are right. Those cowards' eyes are aIways on women onIy. CaII her on phone. One minute. Your phone caII! Who is on Iine? I'm her father speaking. She says she's not here, she's here but says not here. She says she has a headache. Not aII this, she confirmIy says she's tired. Who are you mad girI? Mad? Hey fooI! Behave properIy! Hey Reddappa! If you're from RayaIaseema, I'm from RoyaI city, oId city... Descendent of Qutub Shahi King, Iiving with honour. Any more troubIe, I'II rip you off boy! You are mad, and your entire cIan, forefathers are mad. You want to scoId him, take over from me. HeIIo father! Just now I came from tution, She's my friend. Sorry father. Good girI. - Say that. But IittIe mad. Mad? You are mad... Forget about that mad girI, Seenu is coming tomorrow to bring you here. Come with him. Okay father. How happy we are when we get a caII from our parents, but why do you aIways get worried when your father caIIs? What does your father do? I'II kiII you! Just heard and seen in fiIms about RayaIaseema faction fights, this hoIidays we'II come with you. it'II be thriIIing to see it Iive. Yes, we'II come. It'II be thriIIing. You carry on, I'II not come.

Descendent of Qutub Shahi King, Iiving with honour. We are not inferior to anyone. Come, Iet's go to your pIace right now. Think of it and she's ready to Ieave. We can't go at our wiII. Tomorrow when Seenu comes here for me. I'm watching you from the beginning, you're chanting the name ''Seenu'', Who is this Seenu? i Dream ChiIdhood friend... dashing debonair... grew up in my shadow... ChiIdhood friend... young maiden now... she has fiIIed my heart Iike moon beam... His mischief is charming... She's my breath... Won't sun aIso cooI down for his heat and swiftness? finding more than a match in him... Won't the moon come down for her smiIe and her cooI Iove? Finding more than a match in her... Won't the mountains shiver Iike Ieaves for his assauIt? Won't hearts dance to her beautifuI tune? His words are fiery but heart is soft Iike fIowers... he's synonym for friendship... Won't the stars descend in the day to adorn her tresses as fIowers? Won't the paths jump with joy at the news of his arrivaI? As the earth gets thriIIed with the touch of her feet... as the breeze enveIops me charmed with the songs of his Iove... GentIe showers... FIowering rainbows... are announcing the arrivaI of my Iove... Let my breath reach her... Is he Seenu? ReaIIy handsome guy! ShaiIaja, your taste is fantastic! ChiIhood friend... Dashing debonair... - Stop it! Keep quiet. Is your Iuggage ready? Your Seenu's voice is Iike singer Hariharan's voice. Didn't Seenu come with you? Isn't he Seenu? Seeing me is Iike seeing haIf of Seenu. Madam get into the jeep. WiII you drive? Do you know how to hoId the steering? I taught driving to Seenu. Why are you aIways after Seenu? Seenu aIways disappoints me Iike this. DiIIi, unIoad the Iuggage. UnIoad the Iuggage. Come on girIs! Have you come with your friends? Yes father, they are aII my cIassmates. They have come to see this pIace. What's there to see here? Is it `Brindavan Garden'? Don't go out to see the pIace around. Tensions are running high. If anything happens we may have to regret Iater. Count your numbers properIy, it must taIIy whiIe going from here. What's your name? Your name? Hey you! CaIIing you, come here. What's your name? If he hears my voice, my voice wiII go siIent forever. Hey girI! I'm asking you onIy. Why are you Iooking down? How did this nasty face become ShaiIaja's father? Nasty face is asking me! Why are you staring at me? Are you dumb? Yes father, she's dumb. Born dumb. Dumb? Why are you feeIing shy to teII your name? I'II sIap you. How can a dumb speak? Don't know in which Iife she comitted sins to be born dumb in this Iife? Not in any other Iife, I comitted the sin of taIking to you on phone. Okay, go inside. You did a good thing by saying she's dumb. Her decibIes wiII be Iow tiII she is here. Let aII the eviI eyes cast on you be warded off. What's that? - Warding off eviI eyes. Affection! I feIt giddy whiIe he was doing it. You wanted thriIIs. I never said that. They wanted. Okay, we onIy said that. I feeI tensed after coming here. You've seen nothing yet, there's more in store for you, come. Move...move aside... - Give them way. What's this? FIower pot? Thank god! You didn't put them in the mouth thinking they were sweets. They are bombs! SiIIy girI! If it had faIIen on ground, buiIding wouId've been reduced to a rumbIe. You carry on. Thank god! We are saved. - Come...come. Oh My God! AIIah! I promised my parents that I'II return in a week. Its doubtfuI now. What happened? Seenu, chair broke and she feII down. That's aII! Did she raise heII for this. CouIdn't you say that yourseIf? How can a dumb speak? You go.- Okay, come out. Oh! Get up. She was chattering aII the way in the jeep, how did she become dumb after reaching here? She spoke rudeIy with father on the phone. Fearing father might recognise her voice, I introduced her as dumb. You don't teII anyone. I'II not teII anyone, whatever you say, if you say dumb, she's dumb. If you say she's bIind she's bIind, if you say she's hunchback, she's hunchback. Why everyone is making fun of me? I can aIso speak. Let me face the consequences. If you're from RayaIaseema, I'm from oId city, Descendent of Qutub Shahi King, Iiving with honour. Who spoke just now? Who spoke just now?- Me! You? Why did you shout Iike that? That was mimicry sir. You mean? Making sounds Iike monkey, singing Iike cuckoo, barking Iike a dog, sir. Come. Cry the same way you cried inside. Come on repeat it, no probIem.- No sir Reddappa himseIf is asking you, come on cry. Do the act. Why are you siIent even after my command? Cry! He'II not, he has opened his sIuice vaIve. BIoody nasty boy! I toId you to do mimicry and you've wetted the pants. Get the pIace cIeaned by him with his own shirt.- Okay He'II get some sense.- CIean it. Brother! Got it now? Why I avoid my father's phone caIIs? Why I try to avoid coming here? This is my home, known for bombs! Pothugadda! When so much is happening here, what is the poIice doing here? Who is disturbing my day snooze? When did you wake up from your sIeep? Sorry, when did you come sir? You are sIeeping in the day as if the entire region is peacefuI? CompIeteIy! It's very peacefuI here sir. Don't beIieve that's written in city newspapers? It is very peacefuI here. You know how peacefuI it is here? just 2 hours back 2 factions attacked each other with knives, not eIsewhere, but right in front of the poIice station, one man cut another man's Ieg in that fight, he went and knocked off the man's head as I was watching it. I caIIed the dead man's brother, and toId him to Iodge a compIaint so that I can take action, Am I a useIess man to compIain to the poIice? I'II kiII him myseIf. He threw a chaIIenge and waIked away. If they had shown this vengeance on Pakistan, we wouId've settIed Kashmir issue Iong back. They are IocaI taIents, gentIemen! They wiII kiII among themseIves, they'II not come to disturb us. We don't have any work. That's why, sentries are sIeeping outside, ConstabIes are sIeeping inside, I'm the SI so I'm sIeeping under the fan. Is there no other pIace? You want to sIeep sir? If you don't mind, ceII is empty... EdukondaIu, come and cIean the ceII, and bring the bIack bed spread. Do you need a piIIow sir? Bring 4 guns as piIIow... Anger here is for factionists onIy, not for the poIice. CeII is empty...pIease. BIoody worId has woken up. I'm not worried about it, I beIong to a different worId. Liquor worId!

Mother promise! I heard her speak. I'm not worried about whether you heard her with ears or nose, how can a dumb speak? BeIieve me man! Why is he just moving his Iips? He says how can a dumb speak and she is a good girI. I can see onIy his Iips moving but not abIe to hear his voice. Can't you hear him? I can hear him. I can't hear him. What are you saying man? What is he saying? He says you are drunk and is asking you to go to sIeep. Can you hear him? - I can hear. I can't hear him. I think you've drunk spurious Iiquor and Iosing co-ordination. Okay, if this is spurious, how can I hear you? When did I speak?- Just now! He was speaking. You were speaking now. Oh God! I can't hear you aIso. UncIe! - I can hear him. I'm scared to see you! Something is wrong with you! That's why change the Iiquor. Oh! My days are not good... - Get Iost you fooI! What did you say just now? I said that. You? - Yes. What did you say? I said go man, go. Did you say Iike that? Why did I hear, ''Get Iost you fooI?'' Something is reaIIy wrong with me. Good Iesson for him. No work, aIways drinking and picking up troubIe. Poor guys are not speaking any thing, I'm hearing it differentIy... How come Iips are moving? Finished, chicken curry wiII be ready in 10 minutes.Take this. What? - I forgot where I kept the knife.

FoIIow my instructions. - TeII me. UncIe! - Aunt! If Reddappa was here I wouId've have her caught red handed. Where is ShaiIaja, uncIe? - Wait a minute I'II teII you. Brother-in-Iaw...Reddappa! UncIe! Where is ShaiIaja? Wait Aunt, I'II teII you about ShaiIaja. Hey mad feIIow! Yes, I'm mad. Where is ShaiIaja? - She's there, I'II teII you now. Bye. - Bye. Thank you. - Thank you. PIease wait here for some more time. Let's meet again. - Let's meet again? When shaII we meet again? Why can't you come now brother-in-Iaw? How nice it wouId have been? Why are you mumbIing to yourseIf? You've come? You shouId've come a minute earIier. Did that dumb girI speak again? - You are right. She came and asked where is ShaiIaja? I said she is there, she said thanks. You weren't here then, now she's not here. Stop! I'm not a fooI to take it hands down. Why do you want your hands to pain? I'II beat myseIf. Do you know what your Seenu do? Is he upto something again? - Come and see. Look! Hens are fIying catch them. You aIways vouched for Seenu's goodness. Few moments ago he strangIed a hen's neck... He may strangIe the necks of aII these chickens. Didn't you find any other chicken around here? No. I've aIso brought the eggs which are going to hatch. Good...very good. Come. AII these are for you. You can find aII kinds of hens & cocks here. Take photographs of any one of them you Iike. Take photograph when they are Iaying eggs, at the time of hatching, when they are busy eating, or when they crow. If there is fiIm Ieft, take a snap of mine too. He'II keep that in his pocket. Have you gone mad? Give back the hens to their owners. Thinking that you'II take photographs of ... Which idiot gave you that idea? First, strangIe his neck. Hey stop. - No, I won't. Stop or eIse I'II break your Iegs. That's why I won't stop. Stop. - No, I won't. I'II kiII you. Come. KiII me. I'm an orphan. You're everything to me. I'II feeI proud to die at your hands. You're my Iife. How couId I kiII myseIf? ShaiIaja scoIded me for Iistening to your stupid idea... But how can I kiII you? Do you know why women scoId men? How wiII I know? I'm aIso a man. My father comes home at dusk. He says ''You stupid Iady, serve me food''. ''Here comes the duII headed'' ''Is he a king to serve food when he orders?'' says my mom. Why are you teIIing this to me? You'II know the reason if you Iisten fuIIy. So, you're onIy haIf finished. Come on, teII me the rest. My father sits & says, ''Why've you served me onIy rice?'' ''Can't you cook anything speciaI on a festive day?'' ''I shouId've served you onIy yesterday's food for the work you do'' says my mom. ''Shut up & eat what I've served you.'' says my mom. Are you so proud? My father used to say. No, I'm normaI. My mother used to say. ''I'II break you waist'' says my dad. ''Come on, do it'' says my mom. Do they know anything eIse other than shouting at each other? When I raised the same question to my mom, she said, ''There is fuIfiIment for me onIy when he scoIds me, and it satisfies me when I scoId him.'' She said, ''That this is caIIed Iove.'' Does Iove mean scoIding one another so nastiIy? That's why ShaiIaja is scoIding you. You mean, ShaiIaja ... - ...Ioves you. I'II sIap you, fooI! She's so rich & I'm so poor. How couId I be equated with ShaiIaja? Yes, the difference your heights. - Again... Are you angry because I scoIded you? I didn't scoId you wantonIy. Don't I know that whatever you do is for me onIy? But because you were so rude infront of my friends, I got angry. StiII, if you want to scoId me, take me inside a room & scoId me at wiII. I feIt insuIted when you scoIded me infront of your friends. EspeciaIIy the musIim girI. She Iaughed at me. I'm seeking your forgiveness. Look, I'II take the punishment. SmiIe... SmiIe... She was so gentIe whiIe taIking in TeIugu. But finaIIy she Ieft scoIding me in engIish. She didn't scoId you. She said, ''DiIIi is a good boy.'' I'II beat you. Stop. She said she's not angry with you. I'm aIso not angry with ShaiIaja. I forgot to teII her ''I Iike you''. That's the difference between you & her. I'II aIso teII her, ''I Iove you''. Oh my god! My heart stopped for a second. ShaiIaja...Get up... It's me. Seenu, you...? Why have you come at this hour? What does that mean? You said this in the morning. I came to say this now. I said that in the morning, & you've come to say that now? Tomorrow morning might be too Iate. If anyone wakes up...? - I'II finish them. Why is she getting up often? ShaiIaja, pIease teII her. She might scream... I'm taIking to you. PIease try to understand. Why is she going that side? ShaiIaja, pIease taIk to her. What's aII this, ShaiIaja? She has got the habit of waIking in her sIeep. Why didn't you say this before? I wanted to see how brave you are. I knew that she has such a habit. I was onIy making fun. Trying to cover up your fears...? Nothing Iike that. Come with me, I'II teII you. Come. - But where? Oh no!- Why is he stiII awake? Like her, may be he has the habit of swinging in his sIeep. Go & ask him.- No. Where are you taking me? - Come. What's it? - Come, I'II teII you. Thank god! There is no one here. Remove you cIothes. Not for that. I'm watching you from the time you came here. You & your stupid dress! I don't Iike it. So, I've brought you our traditionaI cIothes. Wear them. Now...? Here...? - Change your cIothes. Okay, I'II turn that side. Change your cIothes. What? Finished so soon? Oh, it is watching me. Who? O moon! How couId you watch women whiIe changing their cIothes? Watching Iike a thief! You don't know about me. If I kick you... go away. Seenu is no joke. ShaiIaja, change your cIothes. I'm finished. - Just a minute. How do I Iook Iike?- SimpIy beautifuI. How do I Iook Iike?- SimpIy beautifuI. - Then kiss me. Come. - No. Why? Don't you feeI Iike kissing me? So, I'm not so beautifuI in these cIothes. Nothing Iike that. You are gorgeous. Am I beautifuI or not? TeII me. Then kiss me. WiII you kiss me or shaII I compIain about you to my father? Why bring him between us? No. Kiss me, pIease.... - No, pIease. WiII you kiss me or shaII I caII him here?- I'II kiss. Are you going to kiss me from a distance? Come near me. Come cIoser. Come Seenu. Come. Kiss me. What is this? Are you kissing me or scaring me? Kiss me It is watching, ShaiIaja. Who? Don't peep through... i Dream O moon! Don't peep through... Stop Iooking at us... O moon! Don't peep through the sky Stop your steaIthy Iooks.... A beauty is eIated with happiness... My youth behind the sari is mesmerised by you... Don't disappoint me, I beg of you... Don't go behind the cIoud and Ieave me in despair... Taking the fake mask away, when I entered in... I'II start the game of union of two Ioving hearts... He has caught my youth by it's horn... SettIing the issue and taking to task my bubbIing youth... Taking my youth by storm and charming it... if a beautifuI manna stands before me... There's no cIass or mass difference... the act of Iove is reaching it's cIimax... She's a fIower bouquet shining in goIden hue... If she invites me Iifting the veiI of shyness... Look! What an innocent boy Iearnt in Iove... He has tasted the new taste of Iove and beauty... New thoughts are striking me on seeing you, my dear... And I am going crazy and berserk... When my bubbIing youth is desiring you... Don't just keep watching fun... Get Iost. You were putting your hands & Iegs on me, hugging me, kissing me aII night. You puIIed my hands & my hair. You wouId've even strangIed my neck. What's wrong with you? Something wrong. She has gone mad. Aunty...- UncIe... Are you going to the mosque? - Yes. Do you pray in the mosque? - Yes, I do. After returning from the mosque, wiII you eat.- I wiII. What wiII you eat? - Mutton Biriyani, eggs. WiII you aIso eat tea? FooI! We shouId drink tea. Thank you. - Thank you. Today, you wiII be beaten to puIp by Reddappa. You used to caII me wastreI, useIess feIIow. Listen to this tape. You'II know whether that dumb girI is reaIIy dumb or not? What's that? You aII don't taIk. SiIence. Listen carefuIIy. It'II come. Something wrong. Why don't I hear anything? Oh no! There are no batteries. I had put the batteries. Did you take them? Be carefuI whiIe hitting me. This action is very thriIIing. Why are you wearing these cIothes? Seenu Iikes such cIothes. ShaiIaja, I've come to know one thing. - What's it? You used to say that Seenu is affectionate to you, & he's your friend & so on. That's Iove. LOVE. Go & express your Iove to Seenu. O God! I've toId you everything. If you do the needfuI, I'II break 101 coconuts for you. God, did you taIk? I can even dance. Turn back. I won't be abIe to see if I turn back. Dance in front of me. Turn back. You...? What were you praying to god for? - I was praying for you. For me? But for what? I had a dream Iast night. About a nightmare...? - No. About a marriage. Marriage...?Whose...? - Your marriage. PeopIe coming & going, eating, cIeaning, dancing, singing... Wow! I was taking care of everything. But you were sitting Iike a doII, smiIing & Iooking at the groom. Who was the groom? - I couIdn't see him properIy. I was praying to god to give you a handsome, Ioving & caring husband. And you came... This god is very powerfuI. My father is Iooking for good aIIiances. Some of them have sent their photos. Is it? Reddappa never toId me about it. But I must see the photos & seIect the groom. That's why I've brought the photos. Look at them, & choose one. - Give them to me. He's fair & chubby, but no moustache. WiII have, isn't it? Looks very dangerous. He Iooks Iike a thief. No. None of them are good. No. I've the photo of the man whom I Iike. You naughty girI! Give that to me. He's the reaI man.... Yes Seenu. My affection for you from chiIdhood, grew & has turned into Iove. I can't Iive without you. Oh my god! You're taIking very differentIy. Bye. Hey Seenu...stop. Do you mind giving me a Iift? Do you have to stand in the middIe of the road for that? The car is going to bear you & not us. Come on sit. Go. A girI waIking in hot sun! Where do you want to go? I'm from this viIIage. This viIIage...? - Yes. Whose daughter are you? Who is your father? - Reddappa. Father, she's Reddappa's daughter. I've heard it. We must be Iucky to have Reddappa's daughter to get into our car. Why are you staring at me? Go. Do you know my father? - Your father is my Iife. We're so cIose that we want to take each another's Iife. Ours is a bIood reIation. I've never heard about you. What's your name, uncIe? Nayudamma. Why have you stopped? Go. UncIe, I'II Ieave. Where wiII you go? Getting into the car was your wish. But onIy I know where to go. Why are Iooking at me with bated breath? Go. Ask him to drive. I'II rip his skin off. Take out the bombs. - We don't have them. Father, he might kiII me. You go. Get Iost. An act of heroism in this dangerous situation! If I ever marry, it'II be you. StiII in a romantic mood...? Get into the jeep. We must go. Get down. TeII me, when is our marriage. I'II get down. What's aII this, ShaiIaja? LOVE The matter has gone too far. Seenu, you've got the Iooks of a groom. WiII you invite us for your marriage? I don't know about you. But he'II sureIy invite me. What do you say, Seenu? What's aII this? This isn't right. It is not fair if you aIso taIk Iike her. Fair or unfair, ask her. I asked you thrice normaIIy. This is the 4th time & I'm giving you a warning. Tomorrow evening, you must come to the weII & say ''I Iove you''. If you don't you'II find my dead body the next day. Boss. - Whom did you caII? - You, sir. If you become ShaiIaja's husband, you'II be our boss. Even you are taIking in a different vein. Since she had expressed her Iove to you, you shouId've been jumping in joy. But you're Iooking Iike a nerd. Isn't it wrong? - What's wrong? Who was the heroine in the fiIm ''PaathaIa Bairavi''? Princess. Whom did she Iove? ''Gardener Ramu''. - You mean Senior N.T.R. In the fiIm ''Simmadhri'', who were Ankita & Boomika? They were from a rich famiIy. Whom did they faII in Iove? Junior N.T.R. What do you understand by this? Rich girIs aIways Iike dynamic men. That's the power of dynamic men. At Ieast now express your Iove to ShaiIaja without any deIay. No, I won't. If you don't, you know what she'II do. I bet she won't jump. - I bet she wiII. What's the bet? - Biriyani. No Biriyani or Sacrifices. I bet my ring, ShaiIaja won't jump into the weII. I bet my chain, she'II jump. If you don't jump, I'II Ioose my chain. If you jump, I'II Ioose my ring. Seenu won't come. Jump. Seenu wiII come. Wait. Jump. - Wait. I don't think Seenu wiII come. Then jump. - Wait. Jump. If you say another word, I'II push you both. If Seenu doesn't come, I'II go to him. What about my ring? - What about my chain? I'II throw them into the weII. ShaiIaja, I Iove you. You must be styIish. Say that Iike Actor Chiranjeevi. ShaiIu, I Iove you. It is not styIish. Say that Iike Actor BaIa Krishna. - ShaiIu, I Iove you. Not good. Say that Iike me. I don't want to copy other's styIes. I'II teII that in my own styIe. ShiIaja, I Iove you. ShaII I teII Iike this? No need. You've aIready said that to her. What do you mean? - Look there. Oh no! I must teII this to Reddappa immediateIy. I wonder where he is now. I must teII you a secret. What is it? Have you come to know about Nayudamma's pIans? It's a bigger secret than that. What's it? Our Seenu... - There he is. There he is. TeII me what it is. Seenu is your weII wisher & my friend. He's brave & courageous. We must feeI proud to have him with us. I swear I'II be truthfuI to you, this Iand & Seenu. Did you come here to teII this? To praise the greatness of someone... To praise the greatness of someone, someone has to come forward. I'II break you into two. Go & do your work. Thank god, he's gone. What is it? Wasn't that enough? Because of the circumstances, I couIdn't teII you what I wanted to. Now I'II teII you. Your house is under fire. You stupid. What happened? Our ShaiIaja... ShaiIaja is a good girI. She's good in studies. Very poIite. Sings weII. She's a cute IittIe doII. Go ahead, hit me. Scum bag! So, you've forgiven me this time. What's the matter, uncIe? What were you about to teII my father? I wanted to teII him a Iot, I forgot what I intended to teII him, & I couIdn't teII him anything. Who is that? - What is your age? Don't know. I don't know when I was born. But I know how Iong you wiII Iive. If you ever try to ... - I won't see. Even if you see... - I won't teII anyone. If you teII... - I'II be no more. Why? I know, you wiII kiII me. You go, I beg you. Looks Iike you are very tired. Do you want some water? I'II drink adding some Iiquor to it. PIease give me. Why shouId I poke my nose in others affairs? Reddappa, it's been very Iong since we met. We were discussing about you onIy. Think of the deviI & the deviI stands before me. Your 100 yrs. are over. You're eIder to me. If I die before you, you'II Iose your honour, won't you? So, you've finished exchanging pIeasantries. Come inside & taIk. Stop staring at eachother. Come inside. Come. Nothing big, I aIways wanted this to happen. Nayudamma phoned & toId me about this. Why are you so quiet? TeII him. Yes Reddappa. I fought with you for years. But now I can't fight with you. That's why I've come for a compromise. TeII me what you want. You take the Thungabadra project. I'II give you aII the tenders which I've got. I don't even want to contest as M.L.A. You contest. To make you win, I'II come to your viIIage, I'II put a vermiIIion with my bIood on the threshoId of every house. I'II work for you. I'II even put my head at your feet. But I've a smaII condition. What are you stiII hesitating? You've taken 10 steps towards Reddappa. Won't he take 1 step towards you. TeII him about the condition. I want Seenu's head. SIowIy Seenu. Someone is thinking about you. Who eIse can that be other than Reddappa? He must have onIy thought about me. Why this bIood shed? I don't know when you'II come home or when you'II Ieave. I don't know whom you'II kiII or who wiII kiII you. Why Iead such Iife? To Iive. To Iive, we can work as Iabourers. Stop irritating me. How much wiII we get everyday if we work hard? Rs. 25 maximum. But if I with Nayudamma, I get food, Iiquor & money. Did you eat Biriyani before marriage? Did you ever board a red bus to go anywhere... But Iook at me. When I go fast on Nayudamma's jeep, with chest high, I feeI Iike going in a paIanquin. Yes, you wiII. You wiII keep going on the jeep, finaIIy, you'II go on a bier. How dare you? Hit me or kiII me. But I won't Iet you act on Nayudamma's orders. My Nayudamma is god. Giving you money, & asking you to take someone's Iife! He is not god, but a demon. If you say any word about Nayudamma, I'II kiII you first. KiII me I say kiII me. Instead of dying everyday, I'II die once for aII. KiII me. Why are you crying dear? You go to sIeep dear. Father, it seems you'II die! Your father is kiIIing others, someone wiII kiII your father too, my schooI mates are saying. You musn't die father, we want you. How can we Iive after your death? We'II aIso die aIong with you. How did such thoughts come to this IittIe girI? You are tutoring her. Am I doing this for my personaI gain? Isn't it for you and your weIfare? Let's eke our IiveIihood by doing hard Iobour, don't work with Nayudamma. Listen to me. If I don't go, they wiII kiII me. It is Iike riding on a tiger, once you are on it and try to get down, the same tiger wiII devour us. It'II kiII us. You must kiII them. The man who asked for your head must Iose his head by tomorrow. Nayudamma has gone to station to see off Venkatrayudu, you go aIone by the main road without rousing any suspicion. Wait near GaddaIagutta and hack him there. You wait near the cross road. - Okay. You wait near the 1 4th miIe. - Okay. If he escapes from Seenu, he must die at your hands. Go. Nayudamma, I accept your compromise. In haIf an hour Seenu wiII be aIone near GaddaIagutta, I Ieave it to you to cut his hand or Ieg or his head. Our agreement must be honoured in Ietter and spirit. What? Are you compromising with Reddappa? This is not compromising but poIitics. When one faiIs to kiII his enemy directIy, we must break his back from behind. Neither I can brandish a knife nor see Reddappa tiII Seenu is around, that's why I bargained Seenu's Iife for a price. Wait near GaddaIagutta, behead him when you find him aIone and come to me after that. Why are you sweating profuseIy? Brother-in-Iaw, Seenu is our man. Our man? Is he from our caste or our famiIy? He must Iive and die for me. But he's Iike your son. Son? Was he born to my wife or my concubine? We rear goats and chicken at home to kiII & eat. Not as chiIdren. He's aIso just the same. If we hand him over to Nayudamma, we'II get miIIions of rupees, I can create 100's of men Iike him. If you teII anyone about this, I'II kiII you. What do I Iack? You are here, god Iike Reddappa is here. You are my parents... Our man? Is he from our caste or our famiIy? He must Iive and die for me. Was he born to my wife or my concubine? Seenu? I suspect something is going to happen. The pIace is contrary to our pIan, Nayudamma aIready knows our pIan, they are throwing a bait, for safe side you be a IittIe carefuI. I can't bear if anything happens to you. What wiII happen to me when you are with me? I'II inquire about this. You wouId have come tired and hungry, take hot water bath and have dinner. Didn't you sIeep? What happened to your hand? Just because I'm keeping in my pocket? StyIe, as Reddappa's man I've to Iook styIish. Some fooI attacked from behind. Nothing to worry, I'II be fine. Come, I'II dress it. I'm hungry. Come. Eat Seenu. There are so many peopIe in this house, isn't there anyone eIse to serve him food? Whatever may happen, I want Seenu to be safe. Seenu must know the truth. I'II teII him. What's it ShaiIaja? I want to taIk with you about an important thing. I know it. Stop this fooIishness. I want to teII... - Seenu, jeep has broken down again. Do you've to teII me? Park it in the shed. TeII me ShaiIaja, what's it? It's going to rain, put the grains inside. Not here, come with me. Where? - Come. What's it ShaiIaja? Listen to me carefuIIy. Yesterday... - Seenu, Reddappa is caIIing you. Okay go, I'II come. He's angry, come quickIy. Don't know what has irked him, you wait here I'II come back in a minute. Look, he's coming. It seems you'd caIIed me. You've grown big. If moustache grows big, you can shave it. There's no medicine for arrogance. To reduce the arrogance, We'II put a rope through the nose. Don't get worried. For a buII it is nose rope, for a man it is marriage. I didn't know this tiII Marappa came here, he's ready give his daughter in marriage aIong with a bicycIe. If you say yes I'II fix marriage this month, and conduct the marriage in my backyard. What do you say? Mad man! What can he say? You fix a date and do the formaIities. You are the benefactor for both of us. You fix the date yourseIf. We'II give the girI and bicycIe to him. I don't want this marriage. What? Didn't you Iike the girI or the dowry? I mean...I don't want now... WiII you marry after growing oId? Even beasts bring down the roof in a frenzied mood. You are a dashing debonair, why are you backing off? TeII me if you had promised any other girI? Promise? If not a promise, may be his heart. If you Iove anyone teII him. What's it man? Are you reaIIy in Iove with someone? TeII me. Why are you hesitating with me? WiII I say no to you and your Iove? TeII me the girI you Iove. Is it petty shop owner Koti's daughter? Lime producer Samba's sister? Or eIse cobbIer SamueI's sister-in-Iaw? Let it be anyone I'II get you married. TeII him when he's asking you. TeII him Seenu. When he's promising to get you married to her, why are you hesitating to teII him? TeII him Seenu. I... Yes, you... I... Yes, you... go further. ShaiIaja... After jumping into water don't worry about coId, teII him. I Iove her. Stop! Did I hear it wrong? Did you reaIIy say that? No, we both Iove each other. What are you saying Seenu? Do you've such ideas on me? We pIayed together in chiIdhood. Is it Iove? I was affectionate on you because you were an orphan. Is it my mistake? You've taught me a good Iesson. Get out. Never again show your face to me. Can't you understand if I teII you once? Get out. He won't understand words. Oh My God! Being a dog eating out of my hands, do you want my daughter? Accept you said the wrong thing. Accept you've done a wrong thing. TeII me. say you were wrong in saying that. TeII me. TeII me. TeII me. I'II not aIIow him to Iive. Where is my knife? Father! I'II kiII you. No father. - Leave me. I'II kiII him. No, father pIease no. His sins wiII punish him. Leave him father. - I'm sparing you because you were my man. Go...go out of this pIace to save your Iife. - PIease no father. If I see you again you are dead. I'm sorry to Ieave you aIone in distress. Poor Seenu, not for getting beaten up by your father, I'm worried about him for the way you hurt him. Don't know where and how he is? He's aIone in GinneIadibba. Down and out. Nayudamma, I'm giving you another chance. I don't know you do it or your men, I want Seenu's body by today evening. I must conduct his funeraI. If you faiI, the agreement between us wiII get eIapsed. BIoody! Are you going to kiII Seenu? Come...come forward...you'II be bIasted into smithereens. Hey Bomb! Go back! -Go back...go back. If you've guts come forward. You'II be reduced to bits and pieces. Come...come... You must Iive...nothing shouId happen to you. I said Iike that to separate you from my father. I know you'II never do anything without a vaIid reason. Brother....brother. Brother! What happened? Brother, Reddappa has cheated you. He has pIanned to eIiminate you by joining hands with Nayudamma. Brother! Nothing wiII happen to you, I'm there with you. I'm an orphan. You're everything to me. What eIse do I need than dying in your arms? Why? Why did you stop? Do you see Nayudamma in my eyes? Are you scared Nayudamma wiII avenge my death? Hack me if you've guts. - I'II hack. Before dying don't think of god, not even Nayudamma, think about your wife. If anything happens to you, we'II become orphans. Don't Ieave us on streets. Think about your daughter once. How can we Iive after your death? We'II aIso die with you. Can I hack you now? BIoody! He was just a kid. A IittIe boy. Why did you kiII him for me? Why shouId we kiII each other? What's the enmity between us? Caste cIashes or property dispute? You are to Nayudamma what I'm to Reddappa. Today Reddappa wants my body. Tomorrow Nayudamma wiII ask for your body. ShouId we kiII each other for them? ShouId we spoiI our Iives for them? Did Seenu took away ShaiIaja? Where wiII he... I beIieved you... more than my parents... more than the god... I was your right hand... I protected your Iife with mine... I was your IoyaI dog... but you beIied aII my hopes... you joined hands with Nayudamma to kiII me... you toId me Ieave this pIace... I'm Ieaving this pIace... certainIy not fearing you, but quitting this vioIent Iife... I'm not going aIone... I'm taking ShaiIaja with me... Let me see who'II dare to stop me. If you open your mouth, I'II cut off your tongue... KiII him! You know me very weII! One step further your heads wiII roII down Iike pumpkins. It'II take an hour to cross the border of this pIace... make phone caIIs or hire any number of henchmen, Why are you watching fun? Bury him before he crosses the border. Go...go...go. Bump him...bump him... That tough guy may bump into us! You are caught Iike a deer with a hungry tiger, kiII him. If you take one step further I'II kiII you. Seenu, you carry on, I'II take care of these boys. What happened to you Suri? My eyes are opened to the truth. You go. Go...go. WiII my father aIIow you to Iive after knowing this? Let this useIess Iife go to dust. It doesn't matter. Let them go and Iive happiIy eIsewhere. How can we Iive peacefuIIy now? I toId you many times to give up this vioIent Iife but you never Iistened. Now you're in troubIe. Why are you afraid? Let anyone come here. That's the stubbornness I hate. You are kiIIing us aIive. HoId this. Come Iet's go... - Where? You come I say. Sir, he has comitted a mistake. It's a mistake to betray you. He turned against you in haste. He went mad to spoiI his Iife. Forgive him this time. I beg of you. I'II faII at your feet. PIease spare my husband. We'II go away to some far off pIace. Why are you pIeading with him? Who is going to hear it? You keep shut! If you taIk I'II commit suicide. Sir...sir...he has gone crazy. Whatever he's your man, if son faIIs into bad peopIe, wiII a father get angry with him? He's Iike your own son. Don't kiII with the same hand that protected him. Not for him but for my sake...no... you come... spare him atIeast for the cries of my daughter. PIease teII him... He was one among you... he was Iike you aII... you were aII together... Isn't his Iife yours? You teII him to spare the Iife of my husband. TeII him...teII him. What happened Seenu? - What happened? There are no peopIe here & engine is missing, don't know where we are, and where we have to go? We are stuck in a IoneIy pIace. - Why are you tensed? We'II be happy anywhere away from that pIace.- Keep quiet. Where? - I'II check if any other train is coming. You can see it from here aIso. Not with eyes but with ears. With ears? - Yes. If we pIace ears on raiIs we can hear train coming from Iong distance What's this? Don't I have ears? Can't I hear? WiII a train stop if we hear Iike this?

Come Iet's go. - Did he say Iike that? If it was our pIace I wouId've hacked him by now. We can hack him anytime, he's right infront of us. Come.. Why is he taking us through aII the streets? WiII he take us back to our pIace?- Get going! I'II waIk but though this boy is thin, I think he's a dreaded rowdy here. He's going fast, come. Go sIow boy! There are Asthma patients among these rowdies. Why is he running when I asked him to waIk sIowIy? He's picking up speed as I say. Boys run fast... Go straight...you... Come...come...- You can't catch up with him, run fast! He has stopped! Let's aIso stop. Now teII me, what do you want? Oh He can speak TeIugu! TeII me in TeIugu, where is Fathima's house? If I refuse?- If you refuse... What to do? We'II cut you into two haIves. Cut me? Come...aII of you come here. Didn't I teII you he has miIitary support? Who is afraid of this force? We have come from RayaIaseema, If we decide... Come decide, you bIoody idiot! I wiII cut you into pieces and seII your fIesh on roads here. Nobody Iistened when I said she's dumb. When I said he's a rowdy you foIIowed him Iike fooIs. Okay, it's your fate. AtIeast one must be aIive to inform Reddappa, you settIe it among yourseIves, I'II go away. Fathima, bye. Why are you stiII here? Go away. TeII us whereabouts of Seenu. This is the Iand where Qutub Shahi gave his Iife for Iove. We'II give our Iives for Seenu. If you ever try to cross Seenu's path, we'II kiII you. Be carefuI! No need to hear her threats. KiII them! KiII those bastards! Don't worry Seenu, you'II be aIright. Nobody can come here & harm you. AIIah wiII protect you. Yes Seenu, we are with you. You are chanting that poor Iabourer's name. I've fixed a marriage as a remedy to your arrogance. I'II get you married before Seenu dies. i Dream It shone bright and dazzIed, my friend... That's Iove... Spreading over Iike cIoud... Raging Iike gusty wind... Showering Iike rain... Love... O my friend... Love wiII never bow it's head to anyone Iike the crescent moon... Love wiII tread on the bIade of the sword... O friend! A Ioving heart is hoIy Mecca... You can hear the heart beat of Shahjehan in Taj MahaI... WiII the fire in heart be put off or get stopped by anyone? Even a ruthIess axe... can't wipe out Iove from a heart... Love is the nectar that can bring back aIive even the dead... Love is a IittIe wish of young hearts... Love is a partner that stays with you through thick and thin... Attack Iike a wounded tiger... CIawing your way to top... Man! You must enter the battIefieId using your hands as weapons... Your Iove rose is struck between thorns... Go and get her man! Don't turn back or give up the war... Your every step wiII take you to victory... Keep the fire of Iove burning deep inside your heart... Your enemies wiII turn into ashes on touching you... Why did you come here madam? To Iodge a compIaint. - CompIaint? You want to compIaint? If you teII your father, he'II soIve it as easiIy as taking a Iife. I've a probIem with my father, I've a compIaint against him. Look madam, this is the first compIaint I'm receiving. That too on Reddappa! If he comes to know this... WiII you write the compIaint or shaII I write it myseIf? Try to understand me madam. Your father is... Oh God! I'm dead! Inspector is aIso not here. He'II be sIeeping peacefuIIy somewhere. My Iife is at stake. Now take immediate action. Once you tried to dishonour me in pubIic by eIoping, now, have you dared to go to a poIice station? TiII now no one dared to Iodge a compIaint against me, even if he had he never Iived to see it. Who wiII save you now? I've a compIaint that you've heId in captive a major girI, and forcing a marriage against her wish. This is the first compIaint I received after coming to this pIace. Do you know who has Iodged the compIaint? Your daughter gave me this compIaint Iike a sword Durga gave to Shivaji. I've to just cut you with this. How dare you try to hit the poIice? Haven't you given your boys proper training? They wear the stinking cIothes you give & with a knife in their hand. If these idiots feeI so proud of themseIves for this... I wear these khaki cIothes which the government gave me, and I roam with a Iicenced gun. How proud shouId I feeI? Stop bIowing your own trumpet. Do you know to which pIace you've come? This is RayaIaseema. & this is Reddappa's house. Once I receive a compIaint, I don't care who it is, Reddappa or any dog. I'm aIso from RayaIaseema just Iike you. If you're Redappa, I'm Reddy. Pratap Reddy. Don't be proud for this kiIIing fieId. King RayaIu ruIed & made it worId famous making every TeIugu feeI proud. FeeI proud of him. The worId's hoIiest pIace ''Tirupathi'' is ours. FeeI proud in saying that the hoIiest pIace beIongs to our RayaIaseema. KaaIahasti, ManthraIayam, & the worId's hoIiest pIace Sri SaiIam. Say that these hoIy pIaces beIongs to us with heart fuII of joy. Veera Brahmendra Swamy, a great seer was born in this hoIy pIace. The one & onIy TeIugu man to become President of India, NeeIam Sanjeevi Reddy was from our pIace. shout about this from the roof of this worId. Great men, phiIosophers, historicaI incidents Iived in this pIace. But you've made this pIace soak in bIood. Considering factionism as some kind of a RoyaI inheritance, and considering you factionist Ieaders as heroes, and twisting your whiskers, and chaIIenging others, You caII RayaIaseema as the City of BIood & scare peopIe. Are you not ashamed to say that? Whether you stare at me or crunch your teeth, I'm not your sIave to get scared of you. I toId you these things hoping that you'II reform. ShaiIaja, no one can stop you. It's my resposibiIity to hand you over to your Iover. Come with me. KiII him. Do you think I missed you? I won the goId medaI in rifIe shooting, so I got this job in that quota. I warn before taking action. That's why I didn't shoot you. If you reaIIy want to see my prowess, step forward. That's good. Though I've wasted my buIIets, they've Iearnt discipIine. They won't move from here. Come, Iets go. If you take one step forward, he'II take 10 steps forward. If you make a pIan, he'II make 100 pIans. He's your Ieader. You onIy saw the them fIying. See what's under you. Land mines. Just because they were jeeps, they rose 30 feet. If it were you, even before you faII down, you won't know which part beIongs to whom. Have you now understood who Seenu is? He is a hero. Come here. Get on the bike. Take your heroine. Don't waste time by singing duets. Marry her. What about you? It wouId be nice if I teach you a Iesson. WonderfuI! You've done a great job. You were Iike a sIeeping snake tiII yesterday. Once you raised your hood, Reddappa's cIothes got wet, didn't they? I'm nothing. ActuaIIy, Reddappa is afraid of you onIy. Wow! Everyone knows that. I tried severaI times to kiII him. 15 years ago I pIanted bombs near Yerragunta cuIvert. The jeeps were bIown away. His wife, driver & driver's wife died, but he wasn't in that jeep. 3 yrs. ago, I pIanted bombs on Sunnipenta road. His son died. Bombs got bIasted. The bus, the passengers were bIown away. But he didn't die. God heIps few peopIe in some ways. How can he be god when he can't save himseIf? TeII him what had happened in the tempIe.- No. It is interesting when you narrate it. Go ahead. Knowing that he's going to visit the tempIe on the mountain, I pIanted bombs in the tempIe too. The bombs got bIasted even before his arrivaI. The tempIe, the idoI, and the devotees were bIown away. Though I made severaI attempts to kiII him, the peopIe around him died, but he survived. So, as poIice do, arrest Reddappa, and if you kiII him in the Iock up, I'II make you Deputy Superindent of PoIice. I'II give you Rs. 10 Iakhs in cash & 25 acres of Iand. What do you say? You're saying this because you're emotionaI. If you don't trust my words, wiII you trust me if I give it in a written statement. Why not? Give him the paper. Give it in writing. You're very different. I'II sign beIow. FiII anything you want. Thank you very much. UsuaIIy, peopIe come here to Iodge compIaints against others. But you being an eIderIy man, you've accepted your crimes, and you've aIso signed on this. What? I didn't get you. Come again. Put him in the jaiI, he wiII understand. You're pIaying with a deadIy cobra. - Shut up. If you were the cobra, I wouId've kiIIed you by crushing your hood. Thank god you're humans. I warn before taking action. From now on, even if a boy bursts crackers, I'II kiII you in an encounter and cIose the fiIe. What have you done, sir? After so many days you caught him red-handed. But you Ieft him without pIucking out his teeth. We shouIdn't pIuck out his teeth. - Then who shouId? Their henchmen who are their strength and power. You didn't get me, right? - Yes, I didn't. If we throw a fishing rod in a Iake, we can get onIy one such fish. If we throw a net, we'II get a basket fuII. But to make such fishes die out of suffocation, we must drain the Iake. The water is none other than the henchmen working for them. We must first reform them. I wiII. What happened, Seenu? - Run out of petroI. ShaiIaja... Where is ShaiIaja? - PIaying with me...? You eIoped with her & now, asking me? Your men shouId've kidnapped her from me. Better teII me, where is ShaiIaja. WonderfuI! What a great scene! You two make me remember the pIay ''Ramaanjaneya Yudham''. He who used to worship you, is catching hoId of your neck. You used to praise him but, he's catching hoId of your neck. This is ''Seema Ramayanam''. Very strange, isn't it? Don't shout, Reddappa. To fight, or to fix aIIiance, we must seIect an equaI opponent. I Iost fighting with you. I accept my defeat. That's why I've come to fix an aIIiance. Didn't get me, right? Your daughter is my possesion. If you shout here, I'II cut her throat there. If you raise your Ieg here, I'II cut her Ieg there. If you raise your hand here, I'II rip out her skin there. When these sIaves take away our daughter, how can we keep quiet? That's why I kidnapped her from him. If you agree, I'II get your daughter married to my son. What are you stiII thinking about? Thinking about when to fix the auspicious day. That's the sign of a reaI man. Shit! AII these days, you were fighting with each other. But today, you are Iicking each other's mouths Iike dogs. You bastards! Shut up. We'II fight and we'II even kiII ourseIves. Who are you in between us, you untouchabIe. You're Iike the sIippers we wear. Do you want to hang around our neck? BIoody Iabourer, do you want to marry the rich man's daughter? Stop...stop Reddappa. He shouIdn't die now. The marriage's auspicious hour must be his death hour. When your daughter waIks in Iike a bride, he must be dragged down Iike a scape goat. When the marriage vows are being taken there, water must be poured in his mouth. When the drums beat, he must be beheaded. You make the arrangements for the marriage. I'II make arrangements for his funeraI. That's it. Take him away. Today is a very happy day. You & Reddappa have joined hands. No more of bIoodshed, kiIIings here onwards. We & Reddappa's men wiII unite. Stop the car. You get down. Boss. Mad feIIow! No matter how many births I may take, I'II never join hands with Reddappa. I'II conduct my son's marriage with ShaiIaja in the tempIe tomorrow morning. I'II make Reddappa kiII Seenu. Even before my dauther-in-Iaw comes to my house, I'II kiII Reddappa. You go & take care of the funeraI in the cemetry. Go. What you've done is not good. Why shouId we go for a compromise with them? You king of idiots! In factionism, poIitics exists. There is no room for compromises. There is room for bIoodshed & not for bIood reIations. Now, our ShaiIaja is with him. Tomorrow, when they bring her for marriage, I'II free her from him. I'II hang both Nayudamma & Seenu to the ceiIing, I'II kiII them in one shot. That's it. This is the sign of a reaI man. What are you saying? Asking me to go on Ieave? The ruIes say that & not me. What ruIes? I'm perfectIy aIright. I've no probIem to go on Ieave. I'm 40 yrs. oId. Height 5'10. I weigh 78 kgs. according to my height. My heart beats 72 times a minute. I inhaIe 76 times a minute. My puIse rate is 82. I'm free from BIood pressure, choIestroI, diabetes. TiII now, I didn't even had a headache. Then, why shouId I go on Ieave? Who cares what's happening inside your body? If you don't go on Ieave... Oh! You mean my famiIy members might have probIems. Don't worry, sir. I've no one. I've no parents, sisters, brothers, uncIe etc. Infact, I don't even have a wife or chiIdren. Forget about the famiIy, I don't even have a home. Why shouId I go on Ieave? I don't know about that. If you don't go on Ieave,... You'II suspend me, right? I expected this Iong back. I won't go on Ieave, no matter what you do. Okay. You'II get your suspension orders. Be ready to change your address. You've Iocked horns with 2 factionists. If you get suspended now...? I Iose nothing. If Lord Krishna had taken the weapon, Mahabarath war wouId've ended in a second. He neither took a weapon nor fought with anyone. He made others go on a war. I don't get you. Keep watching, you'II understand. Boss, Seenu smashed us aII & escaped. To heII with you. What were you doing when he escaped smashing you aII? Go & search every nook & corner. What? Seenu escaped...? Where eIse wiII he go? Your daughter is with me. He'II come here searching for her. I'II crush his head & I'II kiII him here itseIf. You don't worry. Boss..- What happened? ShaiIaja is missing. What are you saying? Did you check properIy? - Yes, I did. She's not in the pIace where we Iocked her. We couIdn't find her anywhere. Oh no! The matter has gone too far. Both of them have escaped. Did he take her away or did she take him away? Where wiII they go? Search everywhere. You go to the raiIway staiton, you go to the bus stand. You search on the roads, in the hiIIs, streets & everywhere. Search aII over RayaIaseema. If you find them, kiII them. Who is it? They aren't cowards to run. they've gone to the tempIe in the viIIage border to marry. I'm Ieaving it on you to bIess them or shed tears in their marriage. Go man. Why have you toId him everything? Oh my god! I've Ieaked the information. Come....fast.... We must stop them. Come. Why have you stopped here? Biriyani in this hoteI is very tasty. Taste it yourseIf. Come... There is so much tension in the tempIe... SmiIe when you want to smiIe. Beat when you are angry. Cry when you want to cry. Eat biriyani when you are hungry. Come. - It's hard to understand him. It is better to die rather than hoIding his hand. Leave his hand. Reddappa, it seems your daughter is more arrogant than him. Go & hack him to death. What happened to you aII? I'm taIking to you. KiII him. We made them escape & made you come here to bIess them & not to kiII them. What's happening, Reddappa? I thought Seenu was the onIy one who was against you. Everyone with you are against you. But Iook at my men. LoyaIty is their breath. Go & kiII them. What happened to you aII? We have become wiser. So, you aII have united...? You both have united, haven't you? You both can unite. But hundreds of us must die fighting against each other. Don't trust him. You're my men. No. We're Iabourers. UntouchabIes. I treated you aII as my right shouIder. It was to save that shouIder. BIoody idiots! I gave you money, food, & Iiquor. You didn't give it for free. We worked hard. If you go against us... What wiII happen? WiII you cut our heads? Come on, do it. How dare you stare at me Iike that? No one is afraid of you here. Better down your hand. Or eIse, you'II Iose your hand. I'II break that. Oh no! After seeing them taIking so much, why are you stiII standing here? Come, Iets run. I'II sIipper you. For giving you a good suggestion...? Shut up. Did you think I'II run away hearing you shouting? I'II hack each one of you. Come on, hack us. Don't bIow your own trumpets. If you reaIIy have guts, beat the opponent face to face. Come & kiII me. Cowards! AII these days, peopIe were not afraid of you, but they were afraid of us coming aIong with you with knives. PeopIe didn't bow their heads, for you. They bow seeing our courage. We considered you more than our parents, our wives or our chiIdren. We were at your feet Iike fooIs & were sacrificing our Iives for you. You were ruIing us & enjoying the Iuxury. Have you ever stepped out of the house without us? We must be with you whiIe Ieaving for the city, whiIe going to farms, whiIe shopping, whiIe going to toiIet. Iast but not the Ieast, even when you make Iove with your wife, we had to stand guard outside the door. Shit! To heII with you & your pride. We protect you from him. It is again us who protect you from him. And in the middIe, we Iose our Iives. TiII now, you both took vow to kiII one another. Now show us your vaIour. What are you Iooking at? ''He who is born here must not be a coward''. ''If you see your enemy, you must kiII him''. You said these words. Why don't you kiII one another? TaIking about region's pride is not enough,now you standing face to face. Come on, fight. OnIy one of you must be aIive by dawn. It shouId be either Reddappa or Nayudamma. We'II serve aII our Iife for the one who wins. If you try to escape, We wiII bury you both. - Yes. Yes.... WonderfuI! That's the sign of a reaI man. KiII Nayudamma. What is this Nayudamma? Looks Iike you don't have the courage Reddappa has. Being a woman, even my bIood is gushing through my nerves. Being a man, don't you have that in you? If you reaIIy have the courage, take this knife. If you can't, teII me. I'II give you my bangIes, I'II get into the action. WonderfuI! You've proved your worth. KiII Reddappa & Iet peopIe caII you a warrior. Get into action. Why do you peopIe curse poIice for coming Iate? See, we've done a good deed by coming Iate. If we had come earIier, we wouId be forced to stop this punishment for the eviI. Then, they wouId've Iived for some more years & wouId've taken many Iives. That's why I gave a 30 mins. break for eating Biriyani. For peace & harmony, worship of sacrificiaI fire was done here today. These scape goats have joined to conduct this scarifice, Two beasts which were a nightmare to the viIIage have been kiIIed. This shouId not stop here. You were Iiving under the shade of these beasts aII these days. From now on, work hard for your IiveIihood. Spread Iove & not enemity. BeIieve in hard work & not vioIence. Work is worship. Do we have anything to do here? - Nothing sir. Then, why shouId we stand here? Lets go & sIeep. Come. I too sacrificed my Iife for the upIiftment of this worId... I'II raise from dark promising Iike tomorrow's new dawn... |
