'It's been a week since I met my wife and children. '
'Away from my family, I was engaged as a cook for a group of people. '
'That day, for the first time I was asked to deliver food. '
'But, that afternoon's incidence. . . '
'changed my life completely. '
Why are you late? - It is my first time. . .
Should've come early. . .
No. . . no!
I am not one of them!
I am Narsimha, not one of them.
No.
Come.
No!
Come with me. - No.
Mani !
Mani, how many of them?
Rajnath and Vishwa were injured.
Chika, Madhappa and Raghu got hit.
Did you make sure? - Yes.
And how many of them? - Five.
Those pigs must've assumed that we'll lie low now.
Make arrangements for the funeral. Then we'll have food and move out.
And those cops, gorge their eyes out, disfigure their faces.
It'll teach that arrogant Rathod a lesson.
Hey!
Get up. There's lot to be done.
Get some fuel from the jeep to burn the corpses.
Get going.
Hey!
Hey! !
Don't grieve.
They're revolutionaries.
They won't go unsung.
Aren't you eating?
You'll need strength to work.
Come on have food.
Rajan, Vishwanath and Madhu will be taken to the camp. . .
and deported to Rayanpala by jeep.
Mani, have three men carry these cops' corpses to Puttur.
And hang them in the town square. - Yes.
Hey!
Hey! Get up. Pick up the corpses.
You think you are some prince?
The cops followed you here.
If we hadn't saved you, you would have been dead by now.
Come on. Pick them up.
What are you staring at? Pick up the other one.
Grab!
Papa !
Catch me!
I will sit in father's lap.
''What has life come to?''
'Can't you stay for another day?'
''Why this mist has engulfed me?''
''Where have the roads of hope disappeared?''
''Is this, what life is worth?''
''The heart yearns to know. ''
''My mind riddles me. ''
Stop staring. Start peddling.
''Will the dark night ever end?''
''Will we see the dawn again?''
'Finish sowing seeds today itself. It may rain. '
''My mind riddles me. ''
'Narsimha, come on, get up. '
'Don't you have to go to school?'
'First your father's treatment, then your wife's pregnancy. '
'You've already borrowed a hefty amount. '
'How will you repay that?'
'You've even lost your farm. '
'If you want more money, then mortgage your house. '
'Don't worry. '
'I saved it for a day like this. '
'I'll return it. '
Hurry up, we have to reach Puttur before nightfall.
'I don't remember how we reached the jungle that night after hanging. . . '
'the corpses in Puttur. '
'When I woke up in the morning. . . '
'I realized I was still alive. '
'Instead of coffee and Jasmine, I could smell gunshot and death. '
How did we fall short? Now go to the city and. . .
all the medicines at one go. - Yes.
And bandages too. Confirm the list with Radha.
The embers of our soldiers haven't died down. . .
yet everyone is back to work.
And you just woke up? !
Get up!
Get to work.
I want to go home. - Now this is your home.
No! I want to go home. - No?
Are you an informer? - No!
I am only a cook.
Three of our soldiers died because of you.
Who'll replace them?
Get up!
I cannot kill people.
You want to be a freeloader.
Hey, someone knock some sense into him.
Hey! Get aside.
If anyone withholds information. . .
he shall meet with the same fate.
Informers will be suitably rewarded.
Naidu. Get the bodies down. - Yes, sir.
Hey, clear the way.
How are you feeling?
Why do you sulk like this?
Brother told me to stay here.
Are you scared?
Pick up the gun.
Be a man.
I want to go home. I want my money.
Money? ! - Yes.
Kariappa brought me here to cook.
He promised me Rs. 1500 a month.
It's been 3 months, not even a penny is paid to me.
If I don't get my money, I'm leaving.
Go!
Go. . .
Chika, Madhappa and Raghu died because of you.
You can die as well !
The police will shoot you down like a dog.
No! I don't want to pick up the gun.
I need the money for my children's food.
Maithili. - Yes?
Give him half a sack of rice and 2 kilos of lentils.
I want my money.
I'll talk to Velu about your money.
But you'll have to fight this war.
My children, their education. . .
Education?
Do you know how many people are graduates in our Andhra itself?
600,000.
They're working as labourers.
They're committing suicide.
Your children will meet the same end.
Murli.
Listen. - Yes?
I am talking to you.
Murli, I think. . . Hey, listen !
Sister.
I am going home. - Like this.
Wait. I'll give your shirt.
Will you go alone? - Yes.
You will be lost in the jungle.
Krishna !
Krishna. . . ? - Yes!
Go along with him and return before dawn.
Yes.
Come, Narsimha.
Stop here.
This is the place.
You go. I will wait here. - Okay.
I will be back. - Hurry up.
Are the children asleep? - Yes.
They slept early! - Yes.
Water.
What happened there?
Nothing. It will get okay.
You came after ten days.
Can't help it. The job's like that.
Next time it may take. . .
a month or maybe two.
You have no idea. . .
people spread rumors.
Forget what they say.
Look, whatever I'm doing. . .
it's for the family that I do.
I need money to pay the children's fees.
Their shoes are torn too.
Don't worry. The money will be arranged.
I'll get it.
Move! Come on, crawl.
Come on, crawl.
Crawl, crawl.
Up, up.
Brother, do it right.
Run properly with the rifle.
Wake up!
Get up!
Who do you think you are?
Come on get up. And start training.
Keeps sleeping like an animal.
Come on, everyone Hurry up.
Mother fuckers, won't even realise, we will attack all of a sudden.
Soma, get the jeep.
Didn't you hear?
Come on, get up.
Where to? - Where to? !
Don't ask questions. They're brother Velu's orders.
Tony, you go ahead. I will bring him along.
Narsimha, get use to all this. You are a part of it now.
Come.
Come on !
Come on.
Hey! Take all the ammunition.
Come on, hurry up!
Sister Saral !
Come here. - What. . . ?
Got 15 of them, brother. - Fine.
Red salute! - Red salute!
The government feels embarrassed.
And Rathod. . . he is seething with rage.
All the news channels are covering this news round the clock.
You've hit them real hard.
They must realise. . .
we aren't going to take things lying down.
Murli ! - Yes, brother.
The Chief Minister is disturbed too.
Even the opposition has ruined his peace of mind.
I have also heard that. . .
1 9 cops and some villagers were killed in Agadhi.
The villagers also say that. . .
there was a large stock of arms in the police station. . .
that's why you people attacked there.
The police suspect that. . .
someone's leaking information to you.
''Just like a wheel doesn't move without grease. . . ''
''A revolution doesn't move without sacrifice. ''
My only wish is. . .
to hang Rathod upside down.
Brother. . .
Food. . .
Later, Narsimha.
He's very lucky.
He escaped thrice.
Food. . . ?
Sister. . .
she's been like that since morning. - Bastards. . . those cops.
You'll gain nothing by being frail.
Don't be afraid.
When you hold a gun, it lessens your fear.
Actuallly, it makes you fearless.
Those wretched cops. . .
I pity them.
They're our enemies just because they work for the government.
If they had died for us, they would at least have had a decent funeral.
Brother, food.
That'll do.
Enough.
Hey!
Come here.
Yes, brother?
Did the cooked chicken spring back to life? Did it fly away?
Others ate too. - You brought me leftovers?
No. I did ask you earlier.
What. . . ?
Are you doing me a favour?
Brother Velu, why get angry. . . - I don't want any food.
Brother Velu. . .
I don't know what you been through.
But. . . you shouldn't sit isolated.
Everyone's sitting there.
Shall we join them?
Lakshmi. . .
Yeah, I know it all. . .
Sister, Lakshmi. . . - Lakshmi, you are still awake.
Fine, you can sleep besides these two. - Sit.
Come sit. You can be with me. - Watch out.
She snores a lot.
Sister, she does this all the time. . . - Stop it!
Always fighting like children.
Do I snore? - Enough !
Sister. . . - You go, sleep.
Sister. . .
Did sister Radha speak to brother Velu?
About what? - My money?
We'll talk tomorrow morning.
Sister. . . - I said, we will talk in the morning.
Now go, sleep.
I picked up the gun at the age of 15.
Since then I feared no one.
Are you a communist?
No a journalist. Telangana Samachara.
How many members are there in your group?
No idea.
Your leader? - Brother Velu.
The one that attacked the police station at Agadhi?
Is it him?
I don't know about all that. Keep moving.
Come on crawl.
Come on, move.
You're being lazy.
Come on, move forward.
Come on, further ahead.
Faster, faster.
How much further? - Just a little more.
I've been hearing that for an hour now.
Shall I take the blindfold off? - Hey! That'd mean trouble.
Come on. . .
Move forward.
Move forward. Crawl ahead.
Lower your head.
Take it off.
I'm Raghavan. - He's brother Velu.
Come.
Hurry up!
Hurry!
Come on, quick.
Not like this, hold it this way. Aim there.
There. . .
Straighten, upright.
Yes.
That. . .
Come on, once again.
Come on, go.
Move!
Amazing ! - We have to do it.
It's a for the people's rights.
This is the people's army.
I had heard about it. But had never imagined it to be so professional.
Raghavan, the government has a lot of money. . .
weapons and men.
But we only have the passion.
If you don't mind, Velu, sir. . .
The government says that you're against development.
You are anti-development.
We took 2000 acres of land. . .
from the feudal lords. and distrbuted it amongst the poor.
We installed bore-wells there. We established five villages. . .
that have schools, hospitals, everything.
That's the kind of anti-development work we're into.
Publish that.
Velu, sir. . . can I. . . - Yes, sure.
Even women take training?
It's their combat too. We don't consider women any less.
Hold it tight.
Not lowered, upright, straight, look in front.
Never take your eyes off the target.
A little upwards.
Come Lakshmi.
You've to be one of them too.
What is it?
Why are you so stunned?
Don't be afraid.
Here, keep this.
If anybody crosses the limits. . . kill him.
Take it.
Is she ready for this?
Yes.
No knowing when she might need it.
You make it sound so simple.
Simple it is.
Pull the trigger and the story ends.
Raghavan.
This looks like the Cambodia-Vietnam of 1 9 7 0s.
For such a big operation. . .
one needs lot of funds. Where do you get it from?
From the liberated zones here.
For the first time they are getting proper wages and complete facilities.
In return, we collect some taxes from them.
But we aren't leech on them like the government.
A parallel government.
That's why the government wants to eliminate you.
That's because we expose them.
So, instead of the foreign terrorism they want to eliminate our revolution.
There's a wide difference between terrorism and revolution.
They're against the nation. We are against the system.
You are lucky to have spent so much time with us.
Yes, thanks to comrade Krishnaraj.
So. . . now publish. . .
only the truth about us, okay.
Brother.
Later.
And comrade Krishnaraj. . . - I need to talk to you right now.
I said, later.
Comrade Krishna. . . - I was promised Rs 1500 a month.
I haven't been paid a penny.
I only ask for my earned money.
It's been three months, brother.
I have a wife and children.
And I don't. . .
They're all dead.
Do you know why?
Because of the fight for the rights of people like you.
To protect. . .
people like you, I gave up my right to have children.
I don't even remember when I last slept with a woman.
Haven't even removed the bullet lodged in my back. For whose sake?
For whom?
But I need the money. . .
for my children.
Hey, brother!
Narsimha, you are holding it wrong. Rest it on your shoulder.
So that it doesn't recoil.
And then. . .
Not there. . . that's the magazine. It contains bullets. Hold here.
Like this. Push in a little. Let the shoulder be at ease.
Now aim at the bottle. Keep your left eye closed.
Can you see it? - Yes. . .
yes. . . - Shoot!
Brother Soma !
Your have a very good aim.
Teach me too.
I am serious.
You want to. . .
fire a gun wearing a sari?
Take the uniform from sister Radha. . .
and meet me after an hour.
Alright?
Narsimha.
Lakshmi !
You look. . . so difffernt.
Now, this is my life.
I'll live and die here.
Why did the police arrest you?
I used to work for contractor.
The mother fucker wanted to sleep with me.
I refused.
So he accused me of theft and handed me over to the police.
All the cops. . .
whole night.
one after the other. . .
Then they. . . dumped me.
Now. . .
if such are the cops, then we. . .
Bloody brutes!
Narsimha, are you married? - Yes.
I have a lovely wife.
I have two kids. . .
They are brats.
But they are studious.
Brother. - Yes.
We have informed the 'Tendu' leaf contractors.
We've called them to Sumanpally's warehouse.
Fine.
You all go in different buses. I'll come by jeep.
Brother. - Yes.
It could be dangerous.
Make sure you are armed.
I won't let the scoundrels sell a single 'Tendu' leaf.
The mother fuckers think only they can manufacture biddies.
So? - Brother, this won't work out.
Do we look like fools to you?
How long will you exploit these poor workers?
Brother, we can't afford to give more than Rs. 2.
I'll give you Rs. 3.
Let's see how you support your family?
Brother, you are asking for almost double.
Fine, then I'll have to deport you to hell. Who'll go first?
No, brother.
You can't do this.
I. . . can do so.
I can kill you and hang you upside down in front of Rathod's house.
But brother, we also have to pay the officers.
Serves you right for licking their boots.
Had you stood by us, you'd have never faced such a day.
Brother, let's settle the issue here.
Rs. 5.
It's too much ! - And 20% tax.
Brother, we'll be ruined. - Murli, take them away.
Brother! - Hey!
Rs. 5 to men as well women for your labour.
I envy you.
From all of you who can read and write.
Books mean everything to me.
These words are mightier than weapons.
When you, brother Velu and Radha speak. . .
it encourages me.
Teach me as well.
I do know a bit of reading and writing.
Take this.
Read this aloud everyday.
When you're done with this. I'll teach you to write.
'The government plans. . . '
'to take action. . . '
'against. . . '
'the public. . . '
'uprising. '
Brother Murli.
Why doesn't the government understand our plight?
We vote to form a government. But what's the use?
Everything remains the same.
There's no dearth of food, water and cloths in this country.
But these politicians and government officers. . .
only want power and money.
They are raping this country.
Now we'll change things.
But this war isn't that easy.
I just met comrade Krishnaraj.
GMWG meeting has been scheduled four weeks later.
Krishnaraj wants you to meet him at Tippogondanpalya.
They're going to take a major decision.
Anything else?
You have to attack at landlord Govind Reddy's place.
Inform comrade Krishnaraj. . .
Govind Reddy will be dead, tomorrow.
Surround them.
There's no one here.
Hurry! Hurry!
Come on, get up.
You'll be fine.
Who was it?
Who was the informer?
Lakshmi, come here.
Whoever informed the police last night. . .
and put all your lives in danger. . .
might even inform the police of this location.
I want to know, who did it?
What are you waiting for?
Don't you want justice?
Go, find out.
No one will doubt you.
I'm going to the market.
Does anybody need anything?
Lakshmi, do one thing. . .
get a notebook and few pencils for Narsimha.
Anybody else?
Anybody else wants anything?
I'll come along.
One. . .
two. . .
three. . .
You don't care about me these days? - Do I have the time?
Who'll put up the posters?
You have time for Lakshmi and Narsimha. . .
but not for me.
What do I do?
Sleep with these posters. It'll be fun.
How did you join the outfit?
I was sitting jobless for a year.
Even my farm had dried up. . .
so I joined them.
Who brought you here?
He didn't belong to the outfit.
And. . . your family?
There's no one. I'm alone.
You didn't marry? Or is there any girlfriend?
There isn't enough to eat. . .
and you talk of a girlfriend.
Brother Murli. . . Here are the books for Narsimha.
Give it to him.
You know, I come home to you whenever I get the chance.
That's a lie.
I have some of your belongings.
Come and collect yours.
Come.
Narsimha !
Yes, brother.
Krishna wouldn't have managed to go too far.
He trusts you a lot.
Find him.
Yes, brother.
Brother. . . I. . .
Mani ! Pindappa !
Keep an eye on him.
It's okay if kill's Krishna. . .
else kill both of them.
Yes.
Come, Narsimha.
Brother Krishna !
Brother Krishna. . . !
Brother Krishna?
Brother Krishna !
Brother!
Brother, Krishna !
Brother Krishna. . . ?
Narsimha ! - Brother.
Are you alone?
Yes, brother.
Where are you?
Brother. . . ?
Narsimha.
Did anyone follow you? - No.
Narsimha, it's not like you think. I was helpless.
I was caught between the Police and the Naxals.
If I hadn't done all this, Narsimha. . .
then they would have. . .
It's good you came, Narsimha.
Narsi. . .
'Pull the trigger and the story ends. '
We face a serious situation this time.
You must be aware. . .
that the iron mining contract. . .
has been given to Mac Iron and Steel Company.
So, all the iron ore here. . will go to. . .
the neighbouring district.
A Special Economic Zone ( SEZ ) is being built there.
Because, that slimy Manoharan hails from that region.
The people there will make a fortune. While here. . .
our entire jungle. . .
will be ruined.
The people here will be famished.
There will be no employment opportunities left.
I tried my best to have the steel plant built here.
My friends and NGOs strived a lot. . .
but to no avail.
Next week. . .
delegates from the Mac Iron Company. . .
and government officers are coming here.
Make sure they don't return.
Off the record, the Govind Reddy Incident. . .
was a major failure of our intelligence network.
Actually. . .
we had become overconfident.
Krishnaraj has no qualms. . .
about killing people.
But those victims too have homes. . .
and families.
Are you a new recruit in Vellu's outfit?
Yes, sir.
You talk like a rebel.
No, sir.
It's our people on both the sides, sir.
Then why this bloodshed?
Because the government is the terrorist here.
They resort to violence.
We just retort.
Counter-violence. . .
against the capitalists.
Yes, sir.
Sir. . .
will we get a good life?
How long will it take, sir?
You seem to be in a hurry.
I'm just asking, sir.
It's easy to ask questions. This is a war. We could even lose.
Winning is not important.
It's our participation that counts.
Yes, sir.
Oh, my God !
Come on ! Quick!
Move ahead. No one should escape.
Look ahead. There!
Get them away from here.
Move him from here.
Take him. Move him.
Turn the camera this side.
Hold them.
Is the camera on. . . is it?
Every 24 hours, one of your. . .
team members will be killed.
If our demands to stop the steel plant isn't met with. . .
then all of them will be killed within the next seven days.
We warn you. Red salute!
What do we do? There are too many restrictions.
Three of them are foreigners. This is an emergency.
The Grey Hound Squad hasn't been sanctioned yet.
Fighting without a commando unit is. . .
Sudhendhu. - Yes.
Give them whatever they want. - Yes, sir.
The hostages should be saved within 24 hours.
Raid all the Naxal villages. Shoot at sight, if need be.
That scoundrel burnt so many Naxal villages.
The villagers will lose faith in us.
No, they won't. We are fighting for them.
You leave.
In our special edition the Mac Iron kidnapping case.
In which the government had to surrender to the demands of the Naxals.
The government's failure was discussed at large in the assembly today.
The opposition created an uproar.
Condemning the killing of three hostages.
One of whom was a Japanese citizen.
The killing of innocent villagers and the atrocities. . .
committed on them by the police was also raised by the opposition.
The government was accused of being a total failure. . .
regarding the Naxalite issue. Hence it should. . .
review their strategy to handle the Naxalites.
The Chief Minister has apologised to the villagers. . .
and promised compensation for the victim's families.
For now, the steel plant project in Rayalpettah has been put on hold.
To discuss this issue. . .
we have with us in our studio, Mr. Manoharan Naidu.
Who has been a proponent of developing the steel plant. . .
And a SEZ in Rayalpettah.
Manoharan, sir, you were saying that. . .
Yes, fine.
The human rights group are on their way.
There are foreign correspondents waiting outside.
What's to be done?
What do I tell them?
Naidu. - Yes.
Sew the heads to the severed bodies.
Don't waste time trying to match the heads with the bodies.
Ma'am - Yes.
Ma'am onions, chillies. - Right away!
Curry leaves and potatoes. - Okay.
'Police released sketches of Naxal suspects'
Ma'ma - Yes?
May I have that paper?
How many potatoes?
Narsimha !
What are you reading so intently?
Sister. . .
Did you see the paper, sister?
The cops have published my photo.
Sister. . .
if the villagers see it. . .
what'll happen to Uma and the kids?
That's life.
Come. . .
Velu has sent for you.
Catch me, Mohan.
Mother, look at Chinna.
Catch me. - I will catch you now.
Do you know the government school in Mushelli?
8 to 10 of you, launch an attack on it tomorrow morning.
Morning?
Didn't you hear me?
A huge consignment of weapons will be arriving there tonight.
A few cops will accompany it.
Tomorrow morning, get them before they leave.
But why in a school, brother. . . ?
They think we won't attack a school.
That's why they're storing the weapons there.
It involves risk to children's lives. . . - Sister Saral. . .
send 2 to 3 women in plain clothes. . .
and rescue as many children as possible.
But remember. . .
I want the weapons at any cost.
''Fish is the queen of the water''
''Water is it's life''
''You touch it, it gets scared''
''You remove it out, it dies''
So children, when you multiple 5 by 4 you get 20.
How much? - 20.
Right. Now multiply 7 by 7.
All of you, write clearly.
Leave right now. Quickly.
Quickly!
Wake up!
Come, quickly!
Catch this.
Narsimha !
Come on.
The information was right, brother Velu.
It was exactly the way we presumed.
We got at least 3 dozen rifles.
12 boxes of grenades and 20 boxes of bullets.
Narsimha tried to save two children.
But regretfully, one of them was hit and. . .
Narsimha couldn't take it.
He fell unconscious.
We somehow brought him here.
Papa !
- Papa !
Chinna.
Papa !
- Chinna.
Chinna. . .
Mohan. . .
Chinna. . .
It's been two days, his fever hasn't come down yet?
The school incident has affected him deeply.
Shall we get a doctor?
He hasn't eaten anything since two days.
Could we get him admitted to a hospital. . .
It needs to be changed every 3 to 4 hours.
Is there somebody who can do it? - I'll do it.
Bloody chicken !
Don't tell anybody outside.
Okay.
Chinna !
Mohan !
Chinna.
Mohan.
Chinna. . . !
Mohan. . . !
Chinna !
You betrayed us.
You killed Chinna and Mohan.
You killed Chinna and Mohan !
Uma ! - Narsimha. . . !
What happened, Narsimha?
Narsimha ! - I killed my children.
I killed them. . .
No, you didn't kill them. - Yes.
You didn't. . . - Yes, I did kill my children
No, Narsimha.
You didn't kill any child. You saved a child.
I killed my children.
What happened?
Nothing.
Narsimha. . .
I know that you care for me.
Lakshmi. . .
Lakshmi, I have nothing to give you.
Nothing at all.
Your wife. . .
is very fortunate.
I want to go to my children.
I want to go to my wife. I'll tell brother Velu. . .
I'll tell him that I want to leave.
Narsimha !
Brother. . . - So are you finally done with the woman?
I want to talk to you. - Not now.
Tomorrow.
Brother, I can't handle this anymore.
Good for nothing.
I knew it all the time.
Brother, I came here to earn money for my children's education. . .
not for my grandchildren.
So many months have passed without anything.
You keep postponing paying money. . . - Money! !
Money. . . money! Damn it!
I know it
Those bloody cops.
How much money did they give you to leave us?
There nothing of that sort, brother. - Come on, tell me.
How much money did you take to betray our outfit?
That's not true, brother - Come on. Tell me.
That's baseless, brother.
Come on, tell me how much did you sell out for?
No, brother.
I just want to live in peacen, brother.
I'll not speak a word to anybody. . .
about our outfit. . . - Damn, you !
Do I look like a fool to you?
You think I am a fool?
I'm leaving.
What happened?
Where did this gun shot come from?
Narsimha.
Narsimha, what have you done?
Narsimha. . . ? Narsimha. . .
Go away, Narsimha. Flee! Leave this to me.
Take a look there. - You go this side.
Narsimha. . .
Get going, Narsimha. Go!
No, not from there. Go from here.
Where was the gunshot fired?
Look there! Look there.
Who is it?
Lakshmi !
Brother Velu?
What happened?
I killed him.
I took Velu to be different.
But all men are alike.
I've known him for years.
Velu never misbehaved with any woman.
But, his feelings were different for Lakshmi.
Brother Murli.
Narsimha is not to be seen. - Where could he be?
Greetings.
Sir, your change.
Lakshmi. . .
do you know where's Narsimha?
He went home in the evening. . .
to meet his wife and children.
Soma ! - Yes, brother.
I want Narsimha.
Go and get him after the last rites. - Yes, brother.
Brother, everyone is panicked.
We will have to tell them something. - Gather everyone. I will talk to them.
Yes.
And you tell Radha to take Mani along. . .
and inform comrade Krishnaraj about this incident.
Yes.
Hello! - Hello Raghavan, brother.
This is Narsimha.
Narsimha? - Brother, we. . .
met at Velu's outfit. Do you recollect Narsimah, brother?
Who is it? - Narsimha.
Just a minute.
Brother. . . brother. . .
An unfortunate incident. . .
has snatched brother Velu from us, forever.
But let us not jump to any conclusions.
We are trying to investigate. . .
this incident.
But if anyone knows anything at all. .
then do tell me.
Start packing after his last rites.
We will shift our camp at the crack of the dawn.
Now. . . we will pay homage to this true soldier of our war.
Red salute!
Red salute.
Uma !
Uma. . .
Uma ! Uma, get off at Manaswadi.
That would be around 5 or 6 in the morning.
Then proceed to Guntur.
You are carrying brother Raghavan's address. . . isn't it?
I've informed him.
I'll join you as soon as things cool down. I'll come, children.
You also come with us, papa. - I'll come later.
You'll meet us in Guntur for sure?
I'll come in few days.
Brother Murli. . .
Brother Murli, I think Narsimha has fled.
One jeep is missing and there's no one at his house.
I've checked out everything.
I got to know. . .
this matter is not as simple as it seems.
Surely, something happened between the three of them.
Aren't you keeping something from us about Velu?
Where's Narsimha? - Let us know, for the good.
If I wish, I can kill you right now,
But we have some rules with regard to women.
If you ;re speaking the truth, then your fate will be decided. . .
by comrade Krishanraj.
Mani ! Muthu ! - Yes?
Form groups of five and look for Narsimha.
We'll have to shift the camp to Madanpalya. - Okay, brother.
There's no other option. . .
but to kill Narsimha.
Go straight.
Straight ahead.
Can I get omelette and tea? - Sit.
Raju.
Raju !
Wake up!
Hey!
Make to two teas.
Quickly!
I said, make tea.
You are wasting time. Make it fast.
One minute, sir Sir, please sit inside.
Don't be miserly with the sugar.
Where are you going? Your omelette is ready.
Sir, your order?
Sir. . . it's ready!
Where? - Right.
Sir, Naxals' jeep was spotted in Patehalli.
It seems this person could be one of the Mac Iron case suspects.
Send a force there right away. - Right, sir.
Hello, send the force immediately.
''The hunt is on. ''
''Their swords are drawn. ''
''They are on the prowl, for you''
''No one knows it, There's no assurance. . . ''
''this life hangs by a thread. ''
''Where do these roads lead?''
''I have no inkling of my fate. ''
''O, what my fate has in store?''
''My mind riddles me. . . ''
''Will the dark night ever end?''
''Will I see the dawn again?''
''What has life come to?''
''Why this mist has engulfed me?''
''Where have the roads of hope disappeared?''
''Is this, what life is worth?''
''The heart yearns to know. ''
'I was on the run for 3 days. '
'Anywhere, at any time. . . '
'they could have killed me. '
'This fear kept me awake at nights. '
'There was no news about Uma and the children. '
'Nor any concern about hunger and thirst. '
'Because every step. . . '
'every moment was a boon of life. '
Contact headquarters.
Hey!
I was thinking of sleeping. . . for a while.
But it looks like that I am already asleep.
Now it's time to wake up.
Oh, my God !
Hey, Naga, wake up.
Hey. . . !
You can't be Naga.
Naga doesn't play with guns. He enjoys with the bottle.
Drink up! Make merry!
Aren't you. . .
Naga Reddy?
That's right. I'm Naga.
But, who are you?
I'm Narsimha. 'Narsu'.
We use to study in the same school.
Oh. . .
Narsu ! - Yes!
You ran away with my books in grade 5.
I waited for three years in the same grade for you.
But you never returned.
Now you've stolen my cot too.
Naga. . . the cops are after me. They'll kill me.
Help me, Naga.
You are still playing 'cops and robbers'.
Help me hide.
Can you get inside this bottle?
Naga, if the cops arrive, they'll kill us both.
Hey. . . !
You realise what you've done?
It's such a big loss.
I was on cloud nine, you grounded me.
Hey. . . are you. . .
a Naxalite?
I use to be, brother.
That's why the Cops and the Naxals both are after me.
Save me, Naga.
Enemies on both sides. You are doomed for sure.
Can't figure out what to do.
I'm worried about my wife and children.
It's simple.
Join one and. . . fight the other.
The chances of securing your life gets even.
If you are lucky. . .
you'll live and the others will be. . .
dead.
Look. . . please don't mind.
But I. . .
can't keep you. . . here tonight.
Just for a night. - No. . . no. . .
I can't put my family in danger. - I'll leave in the morning.
No way.
Naga. . .
Naga. . . Naga. . .
keep this. Okay?
Buy yourself a drink. And get me some food. . .
and a pair of clothes. - Okay, fine.
You can be here till tomorrow night. Okay?
Only till tomorrow night.
You may sleep now. . .
I'll be back soon. You sleep. . .
Had it been you in my place. . .
what'd you have done?
I am leaving.
There's only one way out.
Become an informer, and the cops. . .
will pardon you.
They're my comrades, I can't betray them.
Will they spare you if you go back?
What have they done except killing innocent people?
They attacked a school.
So many children's lives were endangered.
Even you killed a child.
God knows, I was trying to rescue her.
Who'll hear you out?
Who'll believe you?
You call yourselves revolutionaries.
But for the world. . . for the media. . . you are terrorists.
Okay, brother. I'll reveal everything.
But my comrades. . .
shouldn't be harmed.
I'll try.
I'll arrange a meeting with Surendra and Rathod.
I won't talk to the police.
I'll. . .
speak only to the Home Minister.
Home Minister. . .
It's not so easy to speak with him, Narsimha.
Your wife and children are at my home.
How long will I be able to save them?
I know. . .
But I'll only talk to the Home Minister.
Call me after two hours.
I'll have a word with Rathod.
You will come along, won't you?
Strange!
What makes you give me so much respect?
There's an important news for you.
Since when have you started helping the police.
You are as good as an unofficial Naxal.
One has to move with the times.
This news is for your benefit.
Opportunist.
We both stand to gain.
Narsimha. The one whom I spoke about.
The one who killed Velu.
Greetings.
How can you help us?
I can tell you everything about the outfit.
What do you want?
Security for me and my family.
Some money. . .
and. . . no harm to the outfit.
Yes, I have told them. - Okay.
How can we trust you? - He came here of his own accord.
Yes.
I'll call for you. - Okay.
Come.
If he delivers what he says then it'll lessen our woes.
And give credibilty to the government.
As it is the government spends a lot on such missions.
Winning is a far off thing. We aren't tactful enough to fight them.
It'll be better if we can trap the big fish along with the small ones.
You mean Krishnaraj? - He's the main guy.
Send them in. Yes.
Sir. . .
Can you. . . - Yes?
. . . lead us to Krishnaraj?
Yes. . . - Kri. . .
I'll try.
But first my demands should be met.
Yes.
Inform Sudhakar. Tell him to meet me.
Okay, it will be done.
Yes, Raghavan ! You'll get the news first.
Even you are awaiting an editor's post.
Uma ! They have come.
Papa !
No idea when this rain will stop. . .
and when will we leave for Madanpalya.
Satya.
Sonamai. . .
Ayyappa.
Ananya,
Raju.
Pindappa.
Murli. . .
brother. . . !
Sister Radha
Sister Saral.
Soma !
Soma. . .
These people have been arrested.
Sir. . . Is Lakshmi amongst them?
She was brought in last night.
Is she here?
Can I. . . meet Lakshmi?
How did this happen? How come no one noticed?
We don't know, we didn't hear anything.
What are we to report? - We were here.
What's happening here? - We didn't get know
A prisioner committed suicide.
How did this happen? - Lakshmi !
I don't know sir. - No idea sir. . .
Get her down.
'I know why Lakshmi killed herself. '
'She didn't want to be ravaged by these brutes again. '
'Now it wasn't just the question of the safety of my family. ''
'It also concerns those hundreds of innocents. . . '
'who are being killed in this war everyday. '
'There was only one way out of this. '
'The end of Krishnaraj. '
Yes.
He agreed with great difficulty.
I've been called to the Nalamala jungle tomorrow.
3 commando units will go along.
No, sir.
He's expecting me alone.
If he smells something fishy, then. . .
we'll miss him.
I'm not sending you there for an interview.
I want Krishnaraj dead or alive.
I can get there.
No one will know.
Narsimha, it's risky.
Yes.
But I can't take it anymore.
I want to end it all.
You'll go there alone. We'll cover you from a distance.
Alright.
It's official.
How much further? - A little more. Across the lake.
Across the lake. - There?
Carefully. - Yes.
Hey! Shivananda. . . what happened?
Who fired the. . .
You !
I should've thought. . .
Raghavan might ploy.
Weren't you the one who said to me. . .
'What do we gain by killing people?'
Even you've killed people.
Haven't you? That too, your own people.
Velu, Murli. . .
Sister Radha, sister Saral,
What did you gain from it?
This is what you said that day. . .
'It's our people on both the sides, sir. '
'What will we gain by bloodshed?'
Isn't that what you said?
One is forced to do so. . .
at times.
That's his watch.
Spectacles too.
Even the ring belongs to him.
It will be tomorrow's breaking news. . .
'D.I. G. Rathod kills the Naxal leader. . . '
'Krishnaraj, in a dramatic encounter. '
Finally!
Mohan stop. Mohan stop.
I will go first.
Be careful, child.
I will go first, Mohan.
Listen ! Listen ! - Mohan !
Don't come in the house with the shoes.
Take off your bags. Quickly.
Wash up and have some snacks.
Chinna, you too.
So, how was your day at the school?
Good. - Really!
Mine was even better. - Is it?
Yes. - How come?
Because I didn't get any homework. So, I can play today.
Just because you didn't get homework, school was good. - Yes.
Did you get homework? - Yes, I got.
Oh !
Wow, now you can't play. - I will play.
Okay, you can play too.
'We continue our conversation with. . . ' - Wait. . . just a minute. . .
'the CEO of the Indian division of Anderson Agro Foods. . . '
'Mr. Krishnamachari Shrikant. '
Keep quite for a minute, son.
Hush. . . Listen. . .
You do your homework, I'll play.
No, no. . . - Uma. . . Uma. . .
Go to the other channel, the previous one. . .
You both please go and change your clothes. Okay?
Surf back, Uma.
This one? - Surf backwards. The other one.
Is it this?
We are bound to get tax benefits.
Yes. That's the one.
Because that area is declared economically backward area.
But our aim was not just getting tax benefits.
We want the area to prosper.
Provide employment to the locals. . .
to overcome poverty.
Education to their children.
There will be lot of benefits
'This is what you said that day. . . '
'It's our people on both the sides, sir. '
What will we gain by bloodshed?
Isn't that what you said?
One is forced to do so. . .
at times.
You came here to kill me, isn't it?
Kill me.
Because these pigs won't get me alive.
I have been a part of this movement for the past 35 years.
And lived with the belief. . .
that without violence. . .
our cries couldn't be heard by the government.
All these years it didn't occur to us. . .
That the path that we have taken, it leads. . .
to nowhere.
But now I am assured. . .
that we are riding a tiger. . .
which can't be controlled by us. . .
nor we can get off from it.
It's also clear. . .
that merely on the basis of principles. . .
we cannot fight battles.
I was thinking. . . that in this battle. . .
we went underground from enemies.
But we didn't realise. . .
that we drifted away from our people.
You were right, Narsimha.
Nothing can be achieved in this manner.
Like this we can do nothing in the next 50 to 100 years.
You are right. . .
Krishnaraj must die.
But not the way you think.
What do you think. . .
the police will keep their promises to you?
They'll dump you after using.
Like they have done with many others.
Give me a chance, Narsimha.
We will achieve everything. . .
that we were fighting for.
Thousands of Narsimhas like you will get employment.
Your children will be educated.
I want to make a deal with you.
Let me go today.
And I promise that you and your children will be my responsibility.
As long as you wish.
The police will find my bodyguard's corpse, instead of mine.
Don't worry, They won't be able to figure out.
I don't have any police record.
Krishnaraj will be dead for the world, forever.
Narsimha. . .
get going. . .
'Krishnamachari sir, do tell us how will. . . ' - What happened?
Is all okay?
Yes.
You see, we're talking about a corporate farmer model.
We'll buy all the produce from the farmer.
And we will process it. . .
in our plant and export food products.
This will benefit at least 10,000 farmers.
And then, in our companies. . .
next fiscal budget, we'll at least. . .
'Letting Krishnaraj go, was not an easy decision. '
'But I am happy, that an uneducated person like me. . . '
'could convince an educated person like Krishnaraj, to change his thinking. '
'Guided him to another way to achieve his aim. '
