Heartfelt greetings to my dear viewers!
Your Bharati Raja joined with supreme hero Chiranjeevi.
We desire to make a lasting impression on your hearts.
We have come before you with this movie Aradhana.
We know that you will support good movies.
This beautiful poem is uttered by the waves of the sea.
This poem is uttered by the foot prints on the sea shore.
We didn't write it down with a pen, but we wrote it with..
..our dear friend, Kanan's camera.
The melodies of the layers of the sea are captured and presented to you..
..in the rendition of lllayraja.
Puliraju!
The rascal who teased our friend's sister is in the market.
Sir! Puliraju is coming to kill you! Run away!
Puliraju shouldn't be seen in this village. All of you sign this.
We are afraid of him.
I will take care of him. You just sign here.
You, tea stall man! Sign this.
You also sign this.
You piss in your pants when you hear Puliraju's name.
Are you asking me to sign that?
When he comes back, he will cut your man's right hand too.
What is this? Get down!
What is this? Is it a circus company? Where's the ticket?
It's not a circus company. Here is the ticket. It's my family.
Why are you talking rubbish early in the morning?
My name is Daniel. I used to work in the High Court.
I am retired now. All these are my children.
My eldest daughter..
Where is your sister?
She is coming.
She took up a job in your village.
We all are living with her earnings.
Is this Gangavaram?
Venkata Rao! - Present teacher!
Sarojini! - Present teacher!
Koteshwar Rao! - Present teacher!
Appa Rao! - Present teacher!
Subba Rao! - Present teacher!
Teacher! You asked our names, but didn't tell us yours.
My name is Jenny!
Now we'll learn a lesson in History.
What are the great works that Ashoka did? You tell me.
Emperor Ashoka planted trees besides the roads.
Good! Sit down!
Name your favorite leader.
You! - Tanguturi Prakasham! - Good! Sit down!
You! - Subash Chandra Bose! - Good! Sit down!
You! - Our village's leader Gangavaram Puliraju!
He is not an ordinary man. He is a well-known ruffian.
Even the birds and buffaloes in the village are afraid of him.
He is a great man who was put in prison 18 times.
Kotesha! Did you sign on that paper?
I have kids. Why will I sign that paper?
Ey Kadar! Did you sign the paper?
No, I did not sign any paper.
Did you forget Puliraju's fist so soon?
If I hit you with it, you'll vomit the milk you drank in infancy.
Who is this Puliraju?
He is a criminal who constantly gets into fights.
Half of the time he is in prison. Otherwise he is fully drunk.
He is Mangamma's son. She works in our school.
All sorts of misfortunes befall us if we take that ruffians name.
I don't know what to do with him.
He never listens to me.
It is afternoon now. Are you still sleeping?
Don't trouble me. You be on your way.
Are you not coming with me? - Where are we going?
I won't tell you that. Are you coming or not?
I won't come. - You get up!
What is the fight for? What does he owe us?
He owes us a lot. Lots of gold and other utensils too.
Why didn't you collect all those when father died?
Village head said that he'll settle it when the time comes.
Your uncle asked me to bring you once.
How dare your brother orders me to come to him?
I don't care what the village head says.
I'll just settle the matter immediately.
We have entered the village.
Wash your face and behave in a dignified manner.
Why should I be dignified when we are going to fight?
Are we going to see a girl or what?
Yes. Your uncle's daughter Gangamma has grown up.
We'll talk to him and fix your marriage.
No way!
If you don't listen to me, I'll hang myself here.
Puliraju! Sit straight!
Why are you feeling shy like a bride ready to get married?
Come here and see what your husband needs.
Any girl will feel shy when it comes to her marriage.
Leave her alone. See your son. He is feeling so shy.
Others would think that he is the bride.
Why should I feel shy? I'm not scared of anyone. - What did she just say!
Your aunt's son is coming along with her to see you.
Don't talk too much before him.
What did you cook for him?
I made lentil soup and fried some dry fish.
I made chicken curry and fish curry too.
I put lots of garlic and onions since its good for his health.
If you want something else just tell me.
Coals are still hot, I'll make it in a minute.
Brother, you go to the priest and fix a date for the marriage.
You plan to tie him down, is it? Is he so difficult to control?
What are you saying uncle? I am not in a hurry to marry.
Mother is worrying too much. In the morning if I drink a full..
I am talking about coffee and tea.
I like to live a care-free life. I don't want your girl.
Where are you going?
It's not good to smoke before uncle. I'll be back in a minute.
My dear aunt's son! Why are you going off so soon?
You came to my house like a bridegroom.
I cooked fish curry, chicken curry and prawns fry for you.
Why didn't you say good-bye to me?
My husband!
Husband? Did I marry you?
You need not marry me. I've decided that you are my husband.
Why do you look so confused?
I heard that you refused to marry me.
That's when I started to doubt you my dear aunt's son!
If you refuse me for another woman, I'll kill that woman.
O God! She's worse than me.
You may be the hero of Gangavaram.
But I am the star of this Ramannapalem.
Are you not ashamed to say no to marriage at this age?
I am a very dangerous woman.
You can be good and marry me now.
Or I'll come to your village and marry you.
Don't under estimate this Gangamma.
You don't know me. You have never tasted my fist yet.
If you come beyond that tree, I'll break your bones.
"l got ready for you."
"I'll come with you."
"Why do you look at me like that? "
"Please don't be so arrogant."
"l will not leave you if you behave rudely with me."
"l will be happy if you just marry me."
"Don't be afraid of me because I am naughty."
"Don't break my heart after you stole it."
"l was born for you."
"l saved myself for you."
"C'mon dance with me."
"lf you refuse me, I'll promise you one thing."
"I'll do whatever it takes to make you my own."
"l won't leave you so easily."
"You'll never forget my fish curry."
"You'll not move if I am on bed."
"l decorated myself for you."
"l am not some garbage to refuse me."
"I'll manage your household very well."
"l swore to myself that l won't leave you so easily."
"l got ready for you."
"I'll come with you."
"Why are you looking at me like that? "
"Please don't be so arrogant."
"Why are you looking at me like that? "
"Please don't be so arrogant."
"l won't leave you even if you behave with me rudely."
"l will be happy if you just marry me."
"l got ready for you."
"l will come with you."
"Why are you looking at me like that? "
They look like my things.
Correct! This is my chair! This is my mat!
Who threw my things here?
My cigarette packets and bottles are very valuable.
Who threw them here?
Become steady!
Somebody changed my devil's den into a temple.
It must be the work of some new devil.
I am angry now.
Gangavaram shivers at the sound of my name.
You devil! You come out! You will shiver when you see me!
You should salute to me!
Why did you throw my things in the garbage? How dare you!
Come out you devil!
Puliraju! Please get up!
Why are you pleading him? Is this not your house?
It is my house. I'll persuade him. You please go inside.
You should hand over such drunkards to the police.
Police? Don't mess with me!
I can kill three people with just a two inch knife.
Shut up! What nonsense are you talking?
You have no business in this house.
Ask him to get out of here.
Why do you speak in English? Don't I know English?
Puliraju! Please sit down! Listen to me! Please..
It's nothing. I'll settle the matter.
Puliraju! The king presented this building to my grandfather.
My grandfather gave it to my father.
My father passed it on to me.
All these years you called it a devil's den, so nobody came here.
At last some one from the neighboring village came here.
So please listen to me and..
Call that man out!
Mr. Daniel! - I am right here!
Did you like the house? - Yes, we like it very much.
Even though I was born in my house, I grew up in this house.
I am very attached to this house.
If you want, sometimes you can come here to sleep.
Never mind. You can keep the house.
He is such a good man.
Since all of you are begging me, I will leave the house.
I'll try for another place in the village.
If I don't get any good place, I'll come back to this house.
Are you the new teacher?
When I saw you, I thought it must be you.
Give me those bags. They are very light.
We help any new girl that comes to our village.
He will wash your dirty clothes, and I will iron them.
No! He will wash the clothes and I will iron them.
Keep quite! You will wash them, and I will iron them.
Boss! Did you see donkeys eating sweets?
See those donkeys walking with the sweet teacher!
Gopal! Come here!
We are finished!
Hello sir!
Why are you carrying loads that are beyond your capacity?
Is it some kind of public service?
The teacher had too many bags. We are just helping her.
Are you helping her or helping yourself?
You don't even know to talk. And your father built a school.
Do you like sweets or do you like the sweet teacher?
Teacher is like a sister to me.
Oh no! You broke my heart!
She is his sister!
So what did you bring for this brother-in-law?
Nothing.. - Let me see.
Are you not ashamed to carry this one rupee note?
And he is the son of the correspondent!
O God!
Teacher! - What is it?
Puliraju hit his mother! She has fainted in the school.
Don't you understand? How many times should I tell you?
Fine. Write it down.
Teacher!
You both go inside and study!
Teacher! I heard that my mother is in your house.
I am talking to you. Please call my mother.
I just raised my hand when I was drunk, she got hurt.
Why are you making it a big issue?
Is my mother alive or dead? Will you tell me at least that?
Are you not ashamed to ask if your mother is dead or alive?
How will an illiterate like you know the value of a mother?
Your mother should have died when she gave birth to you.
But she is still alive to see your sins.
Puliraju! You are half man and half beast. It's in your name.
Get out!
It's night now! He must have got drunk and gone home.
He doesn't eat food until I beg him 10 times.
He must be starving now! It will teach him a lesson!
You don't worry that your son will be without food.
I sent him food with my younger brother.
Why did you send him food?
God punished him for beating his mother.
He would have learnt a lesson if he starved without food.
I don't understand why God is still keeping me alive.
Don't say that. I understood your son in just one minute.
I taught many children in my life.
Some look very innocent and good, but are bad at heart.
Some look very rude, but are very good at heart.
Your son is very rude, he hit many people.
But when I slapped him, why didn't he retaliate?
It shows that goodness and humanity haven't left him.
Why are you looking at me as if you are seeing an animal?
I am your son. Why did you give birth to such a bad man?
And why did you name me Puliraju?
I hit you when I was madly angry. I did a mistake.
But it doesn't mean that you should leave me. It hurts me.
'l and Jenny are meeting tonight. - Puliraju.'
'Puliraju is marrying Jenny.' 'Jenny come to the beach at 7:00.'
Teacher! Why are you going back so soon?
Did you forget something? Or is the school closed today?
Stop! You are so wicked that even your touch can kill plants.
God will never forgive you for your sins.
Whole village is gossiping about you.
Why did you write that rubbish on the walls?
Mother! What are you talking? What did I write on the walls?
Didn't you write rubbish about the teacher on the school walls?
Mother! When did I go to school and learn to write?
Did I go to school and get good education?
Even after studying am I not willing to take up a job?
You can ask any police man in this district.
All will tell you that Puliraju is an illiterate, a finger print man.
Will I write something about the teacher..
How could you believe that?
Teacher! I want to talk to you.
Mother told me what happened.
I don't know if you will believe me or not, I am innocent.
If you tell me to fight with someone, I will do it.
If you tell me to admit my fault and ask forgiveness, I'll do it.
Except for these two things, I don't know anything else.
I can't come inside and ask God to forgive my past sins.
Can you pray to God in my behalf and ask him to forgive me?
Teacher!
I know that you didn't pray to God on behalf of me.
You don't believe me, do you? I never went to school.
I didn't learn to write. Letters look like hanging bats to me.
If you want, you can ask anyone in this village.
Everybody calls me an illiterate finger print man.
Now I know that you prayed for me.
That's more than enough for me.
Ey! Come here!
It won't be nice if I beat you.
Ey! You hit him!
Does it hurt? You hit him one!
I don't like this at all.
Do one thing. All of you hit each other.
This is Puliraju's order!
Yes! You continue!
I'll come back in the evening. You continue doing the same.
If you stop in between, I won't spare your lives.
Once upon a time there was a forest.
All the animals in the forest lived peacefully.
Parrots, rabbits, peacocks, deers, tortoises and elephants.
One day a tiger came to the forest.
Arrival of the tiger created confusion among the animals.
All the animals were afraid that they will loose their lives.
It's coming. - What is it? - Urine! - Go!
After that even the sparrows and other birds..
Teacher! - What is it? - Toilet! - Go!
Ran away!
When the tiger saw that the animals fled in fear, it became proud.
Teacher! - Don't disturb me till I complete the story!
You go wherever you want!
But teacher! - Who is that? Didn't you hear what I said?
Stand up on the bench! C'mon!
All the time you keep visiting the bathroom.
You'll say that correctly. That tiger..
Puliraju! What is this?
I want to learn to write. I got up early in the morning.
I did exercise, took bath and ate food too.
I went into the village and bought all the books.
I want to study.
Did you realie now that you need to study?
When some one else wrote rubbish on the walls..
..all of you blamed me because I am illiterate.
So I decided to study and teach a lesson to such..
Puliraju! - It's not like that teacher. I just want..
See how the other children are running away from you.
There is a time for everything. You need to study as a child.
You have grown up to be a drunkard.
Teacher, I want to.. - Didn't you hear what I said? Go out!
Why are you standing out? Come inside!
Why are you afraid of him? Come inside!
Silence!
You stand up! What is this? Is this hair or a bird's nest?
Is this the way to come to school?
Get it cut! I should see your hair nicely combed tomorrow.
Will you do it? - Yes teacher! - Good!
Even a tiger has to bow down his head before me!
Stand up! What is this? I asked you to cut your hair.
What is this style? See yourself in the mirror.
You look terrible. Who cut your hair like this?
Puliraju! Why did you come again? Should I shave your head?
I asked you to cut my hair like a student. What did you do?
Don't beat me! I beg you to leave me!
Puliraju is beating up the barber!
Teacher! I cut my hair.
Teacher! Are you still angry with me?
Please teach me to read and write. I want to study.
Love your country! Abound in good works!
A country is not just land, it is people!
A country is not just people..
A country is not just land..
Why are you laughing?
Teacher! I am not joking. I really want to study.
Please teach me. I will sincerely learn.
I will stand here on one leg till you give me an answer.
Teacher! You are going off, is it? Remember this!
I won't even drink water till you give me an answer.
I will stand here.
Teacher! I will stand here on one leg till you answer me.
I won't even drink water till you give me an answer.
I don't care if you don't drink water or jump into fire.
Silence!
"Who can defeat Puliraju? "
"He is determined to compete with the sun."
"Please stop being stubborn."
Where are you hurrying?
Don't you know?
Puliraju is standing on one leg since this morning.
Whole village has gone to see him. Come, let's go.
"Your stubbornness has won. You have won."
"Congratulations Puliraju! You have passed in the test."
"Young man's pride has come down."
"Rebellious beast is ready to be tamed."
"Puliraju has stopped drinking liquor."
"It's good to see him learning manners."
"His devilish mind has come to senses."
"He has books in his hand."
"Lessons of his life can't be taught in any school."
3. - 3! - 4. - 4! - 5. - 5! - 6. - 6! - 7. - 7! - 8.
8! - 9. - 9! - 10. - 10!
Yes. Jockey! Queen! King!
Puliraju! I gave you 20 rupees and told you to bring 3 things.
If one thing costs 6 rupees, how much money will be left?
Nothing will be left.
Think carefully and tell me.
A glass of liquor is 6 rupees. 3 glasses are 18 rupees.
1 rupee is for the soda and 1 rupee is for fried dumplings.
Nothing will be left.
Hello boss!
Our Puliraju has turned into a gentleman!
Did you join an office? You have changed completely.
Puliraju is not the same. He has become stylish.
What is this boss? You have changed so much.
Nobody fears you in Gangavaram.
All things, therefore, that you want men to do to you..
..you also must likewise do to them.
This, in fact, is what the Law and the Prophets mean.
Hello sir!
Hello! May the Lord save you and me.
Puliraju! Will you teach my father to jump like a cat?
No! He teaches stick fighting in a better way.
Please show us Puliraju!
Shut up! I have noticed that Puliraju has changed a lot.
He has changed his manners, appearance and language.
Jenny! Bring some coffee for Puliraju!
Puliraju! What are you seeing?
Nothing! Teacher! Is Jesus illiterate like me?
What? - Poor man! He is looking after the sheep.
He is a good shepherd.
What? - He loves and takes care of everyone.
Teacher! Why is holding the little lamb so close to him?
He is a merciful man who brought back the strayed lamb.
What will you do if you find that lamb?
I would have killed it for a delicious meal.
What if it was Jennifer? - Teacher! - What if it was me?
"What happened? "
"What happened? A heart flew away with wings."
"What happened? It came here searching for its mate."
"It's a dream which is not a dream. It came true."
"lt awakened love in you."
"What happened? A heart flew away with wings."
"What happened? "
"Heavens came down to be friends with the Land."
"Land was overjoyed and invited Heavens with flowers."
"I've never seen flowers. I never worshipped God."
"l can't stay on the Land, l can't look at the Heavens."
"You looked straight into the eyes of a young girl."
"You have pierced her heart which you cannot see."
"A rain drop turned the barren drop into a field."
"lt produced songs from a mute throat."
"lf you have a heart, you throat can sing on itself."
"lf you hide all your words, you can write a song."
"What did God decide for this illiterate man? "
"lf you can change it, even this man will change."
"He will become a human."
"What happened? A heart flew away with wings."
"What happened? It came here searching for its mate."
"It's a dream which is not a dream. It came true."
"lt awakened love in you."
"What happened? A heart flew away with wings."
"What happened? "
Raju! Come here!
I can't throw anything without looking at it.
Who is he? He hit me without even looking at me.
He is Lawrence, our relative.
Lawrence, this is Puliraju about whom I told you.
Thank you!
Raju! His father is a very rich man. He is the only heir.
He is planning to take up a contract very soon.
Sister! Let me tell.
He studied in America. He worked in Paris.
He brought many gifts for all of us.
Big train, biscuits, chocolates, ball and many other things.
Not only that.. - That's enough. We'll go and have tea.
Come Raju!
When will this fellow go from here? - I don't know.
Puliraju! You should me this place.
What else is there to see in this village?
We have only this sea in our village. Didn't you like it?
It's not that. What a beautiful ocean with hills surrounding!
Rocks! Waves! I really love it!
What did you say? - I said I love this ocean, hills and waves.
I played in the ocean since my childhood.
I won't tolerate it if you say something bad about it.
It's nothing like that Puliraju! He said he loves it.
I am afraid of that he will love. He is trying to take the girl away.
Puliraju! Can't you speak that silly English? Start off!
What is this? Brinjal curry! What do you know? Lime juice!
This sea, these rocks, these shells, this fungus..
..this sky, this teacher, yes, A, B, C, B, A..
Do you have a sea like this in your village?
Of course! - It can't be. We have it only in our village.
Do you know how deep it is? It is very very very very deep.
If you want you can get into the water and check.
Do you know why the sea water is salty? - No!
Don't you know that? God urinated from the heavens.
Careful!
This is called Pandavs Cave.
If you shout from here, you'll hear your voice again. Shout!
You call out somebody's name.
Jennifer!
Puliraju! You show me some more good places.
There are no more good places.
What happened to you?
My stomach is burning.
Wow! Look at that! They look so good together.
The teacher and the sir in suit make a great pair.
Educated people are educated people after all.
Even our Puliraju must be having something in heart.
He reached to pants from loincloth.
The man in suit slowly pushed our Puliraju aside.
Puliraju! What happened? Why are you sitting here?
Where did that lamb come from?
It's a strayed lamb teacher. It's an orphan like me.
What did you say? - Teacher! Will you look after this lamb?
Poor thing! It doesn't know English just like me.
Raju! Can you look at me and say what you just said?
I can't speak if I look at you.
Look at me. - No. - Raju!
Raju! Catch that lamb!
"Jasmines flowered on the creeper."

"Why are you speechless even after love is showered? "

When did our country get its independence?
What is our country's capital?
Puliraju! Did you forget?
Nothing teacher! You are teaching me so many things.
But I am forgetting everything.
Sometimes when I try to imagine your face, I forget that too.
When I try to think why I can't remember my teacher's face..
..I don't get sleep at night and become restless.
You didn't give your teacher any fees.
So you are forgetting everything.
Yes. I'll bring it in a second.
Teacher! You didn't tell me what you want.
It should not be money, and something that you get in the market.
Not money, not something that we get in the market.
Teacher! I'll find it wherever it is, and bring it for you.
What I want is with you. Where will you search for it?
Teacher!
You said that your fees should not be money.
And that it should not be something we get in market.
So I brought you something. Can you guess what it is?
It is definitely not what I thought.
What is that teacher?
First, you show me what you brought.
Then I'll tell you what I thought.
Is it not a normal shell?
It's not a normal shell. It is the one in Lord Shiva's hand.
We get normal shells everywhere.
It's very difficult to get one of these.
I searched in the sea for three days and three nights.
Finally I found it hidden Very deep in the sea.
Why are you so breathless?
Forget my breathlessness. Hear this shell's sound.
Hello! Why are you carrying so many loads?
I didn't find a donkey to carry them for me.
Didn't you find a donkey? - You are there, aren't you?
Wow! You laugh just like a donkey. Take this.
Why did you call me a donkey?
My father and grandmother Also call me the same.
Ey! Is she your girl?
Is he a donkey too? - He's my friend.
I see. So he's a second donkey.
Stop laughing and call him.
Whenever a girl comes to our village, we help her.
It's a co-operative system.
Is it a third one?
We three eat in the same plate and sleep in the same bed.
We rarely get such kind of girls.
Some girls look very beautiful from the front.
Some look strikingly beautiful from the side.
Some look terrific from behind too.
Do you know how happy we are to carry your load?
Are you educated? - Yes.
This is village material. - Village material? Is it good?
Do you want to see? - Yes.
My father and grandmother are dead. - Is that so?
Aunty! I can't repeat the same thing again and again.
Listen carefully! I'll stay here from now.
I'll take care of the house. I'll make the rules.
I'll love my husband very much and make you sit in a corner.
Will you take away my son from me?
He may be your son, but he should listen to his wife.
Fuel the fire. If I don't control him, I'll have to cry my whole life.
My son is not a buffalo to dance to your tunes.
Am I a cow? I can handle wilder creatures than your son.
If I don't turn your son into a sheep, I'll change my name.
Just wait and watch. - There he is. Show him what you want.
What is this? You look like a little boy going to school.
Did you see that? He came to see me.
After that a tiger turned into a cat. He became a gentleman.
If I can change him so much with my looks..
..how much more will I change him after marrying him.
Ramannapalem Gangamma! Will you do me a favor?
What is it? - Shut your mouth!
I didn't come here to shut my mouth. Listen to me..
Did you see how much gold I brought with me?
Nose ring, chain, necklace, ear rings, anklets, bangles and..
..I don't what you call this. My father got it for me.
You should have gone with your father. It would be nice.
What did I say? - You will say many things now.
Father! - Keep quite!
What did you do? - I didn't do anything. She is missing her father.
He was fine when he came to see me. But now he's changed
He is the son-in-law, but he didn't attend father's funeral.
My father constantly asked about him on his deathbed.
Puliraju! - Yes. - I want to talk to you in private. Come with me.
What? You want to talk to me in private.
It means that I have become someone great. Come.
You said you want to talk something. Go ahead.
Raju, I am.. - Why do you hesitate? Tell me.
Should I bring a monkey from the mountain?
Or should I bring the whole mountain like Hanuman?
I am planning to go to my village.
What did you say? Please say it again.
I am going to my village. - Wow! It's a good decision.
Your village is like your mother.
A man should live in his own village as long as he lives.
Will you go tomorrow or day after tomorrow?
Go tomorrow. Because day after tomorrow is new moon.
Should I arrange a vehicle or will you go in the bus?
I don't want to go alone. I want to take someone with me.
I gave you company as long as you stayed here.
But if you want me to be with you forever, it's not possible.
I don't want to take you. I want to marry and take the girl with me.
Get married immediately. Go tomorrow and get married.
Even a new moon is a good time.
A bachelor will remain a bachelor if he takes too long.
You don't take too long. I'll take care of the arrangements.
I'll arrange for the music and make the whole village dance.
Who are the girl's parents? I'll talk to them.
We should not lessen the dowry at all.
Now tell me who the girl is? - What do you think of Jennifer?
Jenny! If you go to a temple And find the doors closed..
..go straight to the school and see the teacher's face.
What will Jennifer's family Say about my marriage?
All will jump with joy. Her father will be overjoyed.
He will personally take care of the marriage arrangements.
Who is that girl? - Jennifer!
Are you fine or are you drunk? Are you in your senses?
How could you think of such a thing?
I gave birth to you but didn't teach you anything.
I just gave you food. But that goddess taught you to write.
You learned to write but didn't leave your foolishness.
You go and apologize to her for thinking of her like this.
You worship her foot prints for your sins to be forgiven.
This Gangi has rested all her hopes on you.
Marry her and live happily.
You should understand the situation.
After your mother's death, we all were left alone.
But you looked after this family as a mother at a very young age.
Fortune is at your door step, please don't refuse it.
I am not telling you all of this for myself.
I may die at any moment. But think about your siblings.
Handicapped sister, her treatment, and her marriage.
Education of two brothers.
Think of your responsibilities and take a decision.
Father! As you said I took care of this family after mother's death.
Don't you think I am capable of taking a good decision now?
Please don't trouble me again and again.
Teacher! Who lives on the Tirupati mountain? - God!
Who lives on this mountain? - Here? You and me.
No! - Who else?
Raju! Wait! Raju!
Teacher! Now you are alone on this mountain.
You are a Goddess.
Why are you looking at me like that? Did you forget me?
I am Puliraju's cousin.
Don't scold me in English as did the other day in school.
My cousin went to make the marriage chain.
He said that he is busy with the marriage arrangements.
And so he won't be able to meet you for three days.
I came here to give you this message.
I came walking in the hot son. I am feeling thirsty.
Will you give me some water?
Teacher! Did you hear anything like this?
My cousin did not earn a single rupee till now.
But since he is getting married, he is demanding many things.
He said that he won't put the marriage chain in my neck..
..until you touch it with your hands and bless it.
He said that he won't marry me if you don't sit before him.
You taught him to read and write, didn't you?
He keeps talking about you all the time.
He said that you should select the marriage saree too.
If we sow wheat, we will have to reap the harvest.
After sowing the seed, can we escape from harvesting it?
Similarly, since my marriage is fixed, can I escape from it?
I just spoke my heart out. I only speak the truth.
I love my cousin. So can l escape from marrying him?
Give me the water. I am very thirsty.
Live happily for a 100 years. I'll see you later.
He said that he won't put the marriage chain in my neck..
..until you touch it with your hands and bless it.
He said that he won't marry me if you don't sit before him.
Why are you laughing?
If we subtract 275 from 330, we get 55.
Why did you put 30? - You are wrong, teacher!
Good evening teacher!
I am sorry. What's the time?
It doesn't matter. One boy told me that you did a wrong sum.
So I thought of meeting you. What he said is true.
Your sum is wrong! If you don't concentrate, you will go wrong.
I got my chance now.
Goddess of education went home when the bell rang.
She will come back tomorrow morning.
Will you please get out? - Don't shout! Maintain silence!
You are not the teacher now. I'll teach you, you should learn.
Are you ready? - Get out! - Shall we start the lesson?
Don't be stubborn. C'mon my dear teacher.
You rascal! Leave me!
Leave me!
How could a teacher behave so indecently?
Come out!
Puliraju! I think it will be good to close the school.
We'll take in 4 to 5 girls. We can do good business.
The teacher can help us to count our profits.
Shameless people! Don't you have any other place for this?
He is a drunkard. Now he has got a girl too.
Before my spit on your face dries up, you all go from here.
Otherwise you'll see the old Puliraju again. Go from here!
Puliraju! I met you just a few days ago
But I've formed an attachment with you.
I feel sad to leave you and go.
If you don't like it here, come to my village immediately.
You can work in my company.
I am taking just one thing from your village.
Do you know what it is? I am taking your heart.
You do one thing. I'll give you my card.
Uncle! Please give the tickets. TC wants to check them.
Excuse me!
Teacher! They fire crackers at the festival of the goddess.
If you see them lying on the sea shore, they look beautiful.
But we can never catch them.
Teacher! You taught me to read and write.
Once I said that when I see you, I forget everything else.
But today I am not able to forget anything.
Raju! We came to your village and made friends with you..
Tickets!
Ey! Did you bring the sheep with you? - No!
Sir, did you see it? - I didn't see it. - Didn't you see?
What is that? - It's a box. - Is It the Harmonium box? - Yes.
If it's a Harmonium box why is it making that strange sound?
Show it to me! It's a sheep!
You should come to our village every now and then.
You should come and stay in our house.
Inform us before you come, we all will be ready for you.
Puliraju! Jenny has to take care of me and my family.
She is very fortunate. Lawrence wants to marry her.
Later we will be able to marry off the handicapped girl too.
My sons will have a good future too.
Everything is in your hands. You don't come to our house.
Never come to our house. Please don't come.
Puliraju! I'll go now. You don't come to our house. Never.
"Stop. Please stop. Time, please stop."
"Stop this distress. Don't move away. Don't leave me."
"Stop. Please stop. Time, please stop."
"You imprinted my beloved's face in my heart."
"You have lighted the lamp of love."
"You melted like a dream and remained like smoke."
"Does light mean burning wood? "
"Does life mean only memories? "
"ls there no other way? "
"Stop. Please stop. Time, please stop."
What is this? Can't you work fast? Get it down! That side!
Who are you? Why are you destroying my temple?
Please stop it. Please stop it.
It's not a temple. Veerraju bought this house from me.
He is building a store house here.
You are drunk. Go home and sleep.
I won't tolerate if you break another brick.
If you want, ask someone to buy it and live in it.
But if you break it down, I'll break your bones.
Someone bought this house and is building something else.
What is it to you? Go from here!
You are breaking my goddess's temple.
You tell that man to build his store house somewhere else.
But don't.. I am telling you.. I will get angry.
You are not former Puliraju. We are not afraid of you now.
You have lost your power and authority.
What did you say? See what I'll do.
Cousin! Who dared to hit my cousin?
When a giant palm tree falls down..
..even little pigs of the gutter will play on it.
If my cousin was the former Puliraju..
..your wives would have become widows by now.
But my cousin doesn't get angry now.
He doesn't have the will to kill someone.
He has buried his feelings in his heart.
That man bought this house from me.
I can't stop him if he wants to destroy it and build something else.
Take him home. - Let's go.
Start the work.
Let's go. - Ganga! They are.. breaking.. breaking my temple.
They bought it with money. They can do anything with it.
Let's go. - It's not that Ganga! It's my goddess's temple.
Uncle! I studied in this school! - Is that so?
Aunt used to drop me here everyday.
I have never seen my parents. Aunt is everything for me.
She brought me up, got me educated in another country.
But she lives a very lonely life. Chess is her only time-pass.
Jenny! You are aiming at my king, aren't you?
You will not be successful, you will have many obstacles.
Check mate! You can't move this way or that way!
Now you have to take a decision.
I wanted to ask you something since a long time.
Do you like Meera very much?
I admire her very much. She reminds me of my own past.
I am living the same life as Meera did.
When you are in love, you can't see anything else.
It's a beautiful experience. It's a long season of spring.
It's not possible for this little child to ring that heavy bell.
His little hands have nothing to do with that heavy bell.
So my dear brothers, someone rang the bell by mistake.
You all can continue with your works.
Teacher! Teacher!
Raju! What are you doing here?
Did you ring the church bell?
You told me that when we ring the bell at an odd hour..
..everyone will come to the church to see what happened.
So I rang the bell. I felt like seeing you.
Jenny! Spring went out of my life with the same speed as it came.
I loved someone. But l married someone else.
First night, I told my husband everything without hesitating.
To my great surprise, he was very broad minded.
Wholeheartedly he sent me to the man that I loved.
But when I went back, the man that I loved wasn't there.
He lost his life in the war.
I am spending my life with the memories of my beloved.
These are the rhythms in my life.
Cousin! Aunt is very serious. She many die any moment.
I am calling you for two days now, but you never come.
She wants to see you before she dies.
Please come and see her just once.
Cousin! - Gangamma! You go home. I'll come later.
Cousin! You won't come. I know the reason too.
I know what's in your heart.
You are afraid that aunt will ask you to marry me.
When I came to know that you don't love me,
..I changed.
I beg you, I promise you, I will never marry you.
I'll stay in your house and serve you. Don't say no.
I would spend my whole life with you if I didn't meet Jenny.
Please forgive me.
Aunty! Your son has come!
Mother!
Did you come? I am not sad that I am dying.
I am worried about.. Gangamma.
Aunty!
You said it's an exclusive parcel. Is this the one?
Yes. There's a bomb inside. It will explode when you open it.
Open it aunty! - Yes, please see if it explodes or fails.
Did you show it to Jenny?
No! I wanted to give her a surprise. You show it to her.
Oh yes! It's very good. I'll show it to Jenny.
Uncle! No one should see the cards till I tell you.
Jenny! Your game is up. Your next move is in this invitation.
Aunty! - Yes!
You saw them. Give me the cards back.
Uncle! I told you not to see them.
Jennifer!
Gangamma! Looks like your cousin started working!
It's good that he no longer goes around like a lazy man.
Finally, he has come to his senses.
You don't have to go around the village to sell them.
I am ready to buy all of them from you.
I'll give you around 200 rupees.
Keep the fishes there. Don't take out even a single fish.
It's not your property. We did the hard work. It's ours.
I already sold these fishes to him for 200 rupees.
Is that so? Who will pay me back the debts?
Lawrence, what is this?
Why is there a mistake in the invitation?
Mistake? What are you saying?
I got it printed in the city's biggest press. It's impossible.
Why did you change the bride's name?
Before printing the cards, did you ask Jenny's opinion?
I asked him to print the cards. What's wrong in that?
Did we push her into a well or a ditch?
She will be sad until you push her into a well or a ditch.
It might be from 16 to 18. - I wish I get my hands on it.
Give me 50 rupees. - 50 is too much. You take 25 rupees.
No way!
Your father is coming!
Appa Rao! What were you talking to my son?
He asked me the difference between small and big fish.
I said that the small one is tasty and the big one has fat.
I need not tell you about fishes.
It's an expensive fish. It will cost you atleast 200 rupees.
Who will give 200 rupees for such cheap fish?
It's not a normal fish. It's shark fish. It slips away.
To give more than hundred, she should know to read and write.
I gave that Jennifer teacher just 100 rupees.
She accepted it happily and came to me.
What did you say? Whom did you give 100 rupees?
Don't you know? I gave 100 rupees to Jennifer atleast 6 times.
If she didn't go with Lawrence, I would have given her more.
What beauty! Striking beauty!
You good for nothing fellow! What did you say? I will..
Shut your mouth! - Why should I shut my mouth you rascal?
Don't talk too much, or else you know what I can do.
You kept quite as long as we spoke about you.
Why are you getting angry if we talk about that Jennifer?
Is it because your cousin kept her with him for 3 months?
What did you say? - Cousin! They didn't say anything.
We didn't say anything about Gangamma.
We are talking about Jennifer.
What did you say?
I am talking about that Jennifer who eloped with Lawrence.
Cousin! They did not talk anything about Jennifer.
They were talking about me.
If I tell you the truth, you will not leave them. It's not good.
Gangamma! You don't understand me at all.
Is it less offensive if they talk bad about you?
Now tell me! Tell me!
I spoke about both of them. What will you do?
You were a tiger once upon a time, but now you are a cat.
Cousin!
He is beating up our men. Go and help them.
Cousin! Don't leave them! Break their bones!
Why are you wet? Didn't you come in the car?
Car broke down. I was help up in the heavy rain.
I'll take them. - Give them to me. I'll get them.
Sorry, I am troubling you at an odd time.
Cousin!
Gangamma! What did they say? How long will I live?
Nothing will happen to you. You will live for a 100 years.
I know everything. My throat is damaged.
My stomach is damaged. My blood is clotting.
But my ears are still working Gangamma.
I heard every word of the doctor.
Gangamma! I can even hear the pain of your heart.
Will I not hear the doctor's words?
Gangamma! Will you do me
..a favor before I die?
Just tell me. I'll do anything for you as long as I am alive.
No Gangamma! You won't be able to do it.
Teacher! I want to see you just once!
Just once! I want to see you only once!
Come here! You are Puliraju's cousin Gangamma, right?
Why did you come here?
I am helpless. I came searching for you. Help me.
Please speak softly. Why did you come here?
My cousin is on his deathbed.
Day and night the only thing he says is 'Teacher!'
His desire is to see your daughter before he dies.
I want to fulfill his last desire, so I came here. I beg you.
I will beg anyone. Please send your daughter with me.
I understand your situation.
If Jenny doesn't come there, only your cousin will die.
But if she comes there, we all will loose our lives.
Sir! You are worried that your bird's nest will be destroyed.
But I am afraid that my bird itself will loose its life.
I don't know what to say to you and how to say it.
Lawrence and Jenny are getting close to each other.
If you talk about him now, they will become far again.
It's good that Lawrence is not at home now.
Before he comes back, you please go from here.
I will beg you, please go from here.
Is Gangamma gone? - She's gone. - Thank God!
We can't read anyone's heart.
We can't force anyone to do this or to do that.
Lawrence! One man is fighting with his death to see Jennifer.
What's wrong if she goes and visits him just once?
I came to know Jenny's heart long before.
I can recognize anyone who is grieving at heart.
There's a difference between shaking hands with a person..
..and holding the hands of a person for the rest of your life.
A cage can be made of gold.
But the bird will have to decide if it wants to stay in that or not.
Jennifer! My God! Is that you?
Yes doctor! I want to see Puliraju! Where is he?
I am sorry. It's not good for you to see him.
His condition is very hopeless. Please sit down.
You became so emotional even though you are healthy.
You can't meet the patient in this condition
If he is emotionally disturbed, it may take his life. I am sorry.
Excuse me madam!
You can see him from far without disturbing him.
"What's happening? "
"The heart that forgot its heart is going somewhere."
"What's happening? "
"The body is leaving its life and going."
"What's the use of eyes after all my dreams melted down? "
"Moon is left without its moonlight."
"What's happening? "
"The heart that forgot its heart is going somewhere."
"What's happening? "
I desired that you both meet each other.
My desire is fulfilled. You both became one.
This is enough for my life.
Please give your child my name.
That will satisfy me.
