Who is it? Is it Bhajagovindam?
Yes sir, it's me.
What's nthe hustle bustle in our house today?
Nothing much. Your son received the Rao Bahadur title so he's thrown a party.
Hmph. Rao Bahadur title for his face?
Whoever wants whatever carefully serve them.
Look, attend at that corner.
Arre, serve him a bit more.
-Are you taking care of Mr. Mukunda Rao? -Hey, serve him a bit more boy.
That's enough man, just because you got Rao Bahadur title today, should I overeat?
Eat sir, I feel very happy seeing people eat satisfactorily.
Wow! Rao Bahadur Ramadas is equivalent to this era's Karna in donating.
What is there? He's a lucky man. He's earning by lakhs in tobacco business.
Not just that, his son is returning qualified as a doctor from England.
For his marriage he will get 10 lakhs as dowry.
Oho, we are not taking any dowry for my son sir.
Oh so will you get him married to a poor girl?
There's Mukunda Rao's granddaughter. She's an only child.
If he marries her, then all his wealth will come to you.
Yes, yes, if not my daughter, as if his son won't get matches from big families?
Why are you standing boy? Serve him, serve him.
-That's enough, enough. -Serve more, more.
Greetings, thank you.
Greetings.
I'll take your leave then.
What is this, whenever I ask you say it's not possible, not possible.
-First call him. -Told you it's not possible.
[indistinct shouting]
Ramdin, Ramdin.
Wait man. Come please come. Please sit down.
Sanchiah, get some tiffin for all of them.
We don't want tiffin or anything. Just pay us our dues, that's enough.
Why do you link the dues & tiffin? Eat, eat well.
This is all yours. You'll get what you get else not even that.
Keep quiet man, it's all very funny for you,
We are sleepless day & night after giving you a loan.
Then eat Badam halwa, you'll sleep well.
Sanchiah, first get those plates of Badam halwa.
That's enough man. Call Mr. Ramadas.
Why have you come?
Nothing much. We heard you received the Rao Bahadur title, so we came to see you.
[in unison] Yes, Yes.
Oho, now that you've seen. Please leave.
-When should we come next? -Why should you come?
For the old dues sir.
I'll give it man, after all 10,000.
Those who have given lakhs are not even opening their mouths.
You got stuck on it like fleas on a dog.
When I'm asking him, why are you interfering sir?
Shouldn't there be an appropriate time to ask? Ramdin!
[in unison] We'll leave by ourselves.
-Hello, hello! -Mr. Bhajagovindam!
-Hello -[indistinct shouting]
-Why have you come in a group? -For our dues sir.
-Didn't I tell you to come on first? -We've come on first only.
-Hello. -What do we do if you aren't seen?
Is that my fault? You come again on first.
On first you're unavailable, on second you say you won't pay. How is it possible?
-Who are all these Bhajagovindam? -They are all my creditors sir.
Car parking, Kirana stores, betel leaves shop, all small loans due.
-Ok, he will give tomorrow, you leave. -I'll give tomorrow, leave, leave.
So Bhajagovindam, you are also taking loans?
No sir, I didn't take loans.
Will I get a loan to simply take? Based on our need they only give.
Since I stepped into your threshold, my status increased.
They only fell behind me. Why refuse them? So I took a bit.
And look within that money my uncle, my cousin, our Chanchiah, the drama company..
...their relatives, friends & entire families all survive.
Ok, ok, it looks like you are new to making debts.
I'll tell you the trick. Learn it.
It's not a problem to have many loans. But you shouldn't have many debtors.
If one starts asking, then all will get behind you.
So in future if you need Rs.100, take it from only one person.
Don't however, take it as 1000 from 10 people.
Aha. This is a divine secret for people who want to take loans.
If you give me a 1000 first, I'll settle the ones who are in a hurry.
Not just the ones in a hurry. Even if it's another 500, settle all of htem.
Now, we also need 2 lakhs to settle the miscellaneous small debts.
-Look somehwere! -2 Lakhs? Where will I look?
We don't have any standing in the market now.
If there was a standing why would I need you? They would come home & give. Go. Go.
Go and get someone new.
In this business, like an insurance agent we need to keep catching new people.
Then what about the interest?
How does the interest matter? It matters the day we will return it, isn't it?
-We need the prinicpal. -Yes, yes, I forgot that matter.
Thanks. Do you still remember me?
Why not? Did I go to jail like you? Or did I become a leader too forget people
um, hmmm. You did not change at all. The same mischief & the same stubbornness.
Have you changed? The same sarcasm & the same teasing.
Nice, a word for a word.
Usha! Why didn't your cousin Bhajagovindam come?
You ask as if you don't know about my cousin.
If you send him for medicine he returned on the day of monthly rituals it seems.
[laughing]
Manjari, is your grandfater, the Dewan Bahadur doing well?
Oh.
Did he find any kings or emperors for his granddaughter?
No, he's going to fix an alliance with your uncle Mr. Ramadas only.
He has newly become a Rao Bahadur.
What more? The Dewan Bahadur's alliance for the Rao Bahadur.
It's very nice. Get married. You'll be company for my sister.
I don't need any advice for my wedding. First think about your sister.
Since your uncle sent her out of the house she's crying bitterly.
Big freedom fighters it seems freedom fighters.
Can't take care of your own house, but will take care of the country it seems
Manjari, Manjari.
Wait dear wait. What is this anger? I'm asking you to wait.
[engine revving]
You just got out jail and you already started instigating.
Here, Victory to Sardar Kishan Raja. Victory to Mother Andhra.
Victory to Mother India.
Now come. Let's go to our drama company.
Not now ok Govindam.I first need to go to my village
Your village?What's in your village? Your uncle Ramadas auctioned your house.
Uh. The where is my sister Leela?
She's here. The lady has taken another house and kept her there.
Thanks Manjari. He's been so unjust. He must be taught a lesson somehow.
That's what I'm saying. These people need to be set right before the country.
The great poet said, that the country is not just mud, the country is its people.
Hence if the people are set right, the country will automatically be all right.
But how to set right such foolish and selfish people?
That I'll tell you. Listen.
Your uncle Ramadas is blowing his trumpet saying his prestige & honor openly but...
...he is up to his neck in debts.
Now his plan is this...
...somehow cheat her grandfather, make her his daughter-in-law...
...& repay his debts with their money.
Then Manjari, let's tell your grandfather this.
-Ah if you tell him the plan will backfire -That means?
That means if it gets known the your cousin Raghu has a wife...
...Mr. Mukunda Rao will not give Manjari to your cousin or to you.
He will give her to another rich person.
There when Mr. Ramadas comes to know that Manjari will not be given to his son,
...he will look for another big alliance but will not come to you.
-Then what should we do? -What we should do!
Manjari devi should agree to marry Raghu.
I won't agree.
It won't work if you say I won't agree. You have to pretend so dear.
Otherwise, your grandfather will right away look for another alliance for you.
There Mr. Ramadas will look for another allliance for Raghu.
Then what needs to be done ultimately?
Bhajagovindam will tell you all that. You leave.
Come, our vehicle is here. Hey, start.
Swami, if we serve your divine feet, householders like me will attain salvation
Why be here? Please do grace our home.
Son, your devotion is enough. Why is a house needed for an ascetic?
Please grace the home at least to bless us.
For my entire lineage, it's only my granddaughter who's there.
Please bless her to get a king or an emperor as a groom.
I'm blessing from here itself. Go.
We are now going to Rameswaram. We will visit during our return journey.
Definetely, you must come, Swami. Ramalingam, where is it?
Please at least accept this gift.
Why do we need money son?
It'll be handy for wayward expenses. Don't refuse when offered with devotion Swami.
Yes, Swami.

[clapping] Bravo!
Ramalingam, the girl has learnt dance so well.
Have you looked for any alliances for her?
I've seen Sir. I've seen one allliance.
Dear Usha, go home & tell your mother that a bridegroom is coming in the evening. Go.
I won't tell.
But Usha says that she will not marry anyone other than her cousin Bhajagovindam
Hmmm, she's an innocent child. What does she know?
She is enamoured by him & will keep saying that. Will I let her word continue?
As if it's yours. If they both like each other, why are you interfering? Finish it.
Look Ramalingam, did you enquire that Katpaal alliance for Manjari?
I enquired sir. But they are not up to our status.
In all we've seen, it looks like Rao Bahadur Ramadas's alliance is good
Big business, a lot of influence...
... the boy is coming back from England after studying medicine.
So you say we'll go ahead with Ramadas' alliance
yes, we will.
I won't grandpa.
Did you see that. The girl also doesn't like it. Look for some other nice alliance
Did the country get wiped out? What happened to ll the kings and landlords?
It's all surface grandeur, but they are not bigger than Mr. Ramadas.
Then Ramalingam. You keep praising this Ramadas...
...is he bribing you?
Huh, where sir?
[knocking]
-Greetings, Mr. Mukunda Rao. -Come, come, sit sit.
Why Ramadas, do you always need these bodyguards?
It's better if they are there, isn't it? I'm doing business in lakhs.
I always have 20 to 30 thousands on me.
Yes, yes. Not just that as influence increases, enemies also increase
By the way, what work did you come for?
It is regarding Chidarmbaram setti who borrows often from you. You know him right
Yes, why not?
He urgently needs 20,000 it seems. He came & caught me.
I said I'll give a cheque but today is Saturday & tomorrow Sunday. He wants cash.
That's fine but why should you take a loan to give a loan?
That is where the business sense lies.
A business man should have some standing.
Today for his need if I give 20,000 then for my need tomorrow he'll give 50,000.
What do you say?
What will I say when you are talking with so much experience? Wait, I'll come.
Sir, call the boy quickly. He his talking a different thing each time.
If the boy is near, then we can see an appropriate time & marry him off.
All right. My son is returning on Monday.
You somehow take care that Manjari is given away to my Raghu.
I'll bear your daughter's wedding expenses including the dowry.
-Here. -As you say.
Here.
His son is coming in the next few days it seems.
Yes, if we fix an auspicious day in the meanwhile...
...we can marry them as soon as he comes.
All right then.
If your father-in-law comes and asks you to leave...
...tell him that you have as much rights as him in this house.
Tell him that unless your husband asks you to leave you won't budge.
Oh my! I'm scared.
There! That softness will not work here.
Only if you are ready to give word for word, slap for slap,they'lllet you be here
Sanchiah, take her. Go dear.
-You should not go back. -Yes, you told the trick right.
I'll be in the drama company. You finish the matter here and come there.
Hmmm.
What Bhajagovindam? What have you done?
I've taken brother & sister to Ramdas' house.
Did he allow them?
Why won't he? He wasn't at home so I told him the trick & came here.
Hello my dear Usha. What's the news?
What is there? Father has brought another alliance.
Mother sent me to tell you.
Again?
Did you see dear? When there's a nephew like the Meru mountain at home,...
...uncle gets a useless alliance everyday.
Him bringing & you chasing it away, it's usual right. Hmm go on then.
Bhajagovindam! What fate has struck you man?
There a lot of people who are jealous of us in this village.
Especially if we get an alliance like yours...
...there'll be people waiting to spoil it with fire in their eyes.
Hence you don't listen to any of their words.
See the girl, you will like her. We'll fix the auspicious day immediately & marry you
Oh yes.
Call the girl.
The girl has just now gone to the Sahukar's house.
-Uh, Sahukar's house? -My boss' house.
-Tell Ramu to go & call her. -He's also not at home.
Son, you just taste these vadas. My wife is an ace at making them.
Go on.
The house is close by. I'll call the girl in a jiffy.
Sir, your village? your name?
I'm from Arkonam. My name is Mr. Panakala Rao.
-Are you the bridegroom? -Yes.
-Poor thing. -Hmmm.
Did you check the horoscopes?
After he stepped into this house there's only one thing to see.
Cha, cha, don't talk ill omens.
Still he hasn't seen the girl, fixed the date or gotten married.
So what if he hasn't married yet. What happened to Markapu Rao the other day?
Here the moment the auspicious day was fixed, he had a heart attack & died.
So your talking of the second guy?
The second guy died on the way to the marriage, the third died during matchmaking
Huh, I'm talking about the fourth guy.
Is it so? Then which number is her?
1,2,3,4,5. After 5 have gone, he's the sixth.
What is this man? You ar already counting me too in.
What is the real thing, tell me? I'm a little worried.
Why should we say the inauspicious thing. Anyone in the village will tell you.
Why again to someone else? I believe your word.
Tell me all that is there. Without hiding.
What's to hide? The girl's horoscope says that 7 alliances will get skipped.
Why do you say skipped man, when on one side you say they are dying.
That is what it means. Unless the one who comes dies, how will it skip?
You saved me.Is this the case. I'll take leave.
Panakala Rao, please sit.
Though the horoscope is bad, the girl is good. See her & go.
It's not my fate to wish death. If I'm alive I'll sell salt & live. I'll leave.
Mr. Panakala Rao
-No, no. -Mr.Panakala Rao, the girl has come.
Why do you escape?
Sir, a salute to you & your girl. Let me live. I'll leave.
[indistinct shouting]
Oh no! What do I do?

Hey, who's that singing?
It's your daughter-in-law sir.
Sometime back her brother brought her.
He brought her fine, how did you let her in man?
What is this sir? You speak strangely.
They came to their house. Who am I to allow or not?
Their house, your house! Idiot! I've dismissed you. Go.
What's all this?
Don't you have sense when I say once? Why have you come here again?
Why do you look at me? Speak.
Tell him that because you have sense you've come to your husband's house.
Husband! That relation has broken long ago.
How will that happen? In the name of dowry & gifts you took away our wealth...
...spoilt my sister's life & now you will break the relation?
Ah, yes. Now you & me have to only sort the alimony.
Here, 5000/- take it. Even if you go to court you won't get anything more.
If you say that, then what should happen to me father-in-law?
At least let me live like a maid in your house.
Not possible. Even your shadow should not fall on this house.
An allaince is fixed for my son.
In the next few days, as soon as he comes, I'm getting him married.
Go out of here respectfully.
If you speak softly, father-in-law will climb onto your head.
Tell him firmly that you will not go & what ever rights he has so do you in this house
What! The matter seems to have come quite far.
Ramdin! Send them away.
Hey boy Dasu, Dasu!
-Ah, what? -Who are those people?
They are creditors, why do you care, you go.
What creditors? They are saying they won't go out of the house?
They will go. They say unless they get money, they will not go.
-Wait I'll find out. -Hmmm, you've found out enough, come on.
-Hmph. Leave me man. -Arre, I'm telling you to leave.
Come on man, come on.
Wait man. I need to talk to him.
Come on. Ah is it not you I'm talking to?
Non violence, non violence, non violence.
Ah, what is this unjustness. You create a ruckus coming to my home?
I'll send you to jail. Sanchiah, go call the police.
Go call, I've come to cause a ruckus.
Both our names should not only be in the police station but in all newspapers.
He'll perform a marriage it seems. Let me see who will give you a girl.
I'll call all the elders of the village. I'll let out all your hidden secrets...
...I'll air your dirty laundry & expose you.
-Come dear. -Brother, brother.
Leela, come here.
If he doesn't have any shame that's fine. Shouldn't you have sense?
Will you listen to him & go into town & bring disfame to your & my lineage?
No father-in-law, I'll listen to you.
Then listen. It's decided that my son will get married.
Are yok ok to be a maid in this house?
It's your wish father-in-law. It's enough if you let me live in this house.
Ok. You should not talk to anyone in this house.
You should live like a mute person.
Nobody should know that we & you are related. Do you like that?
-What man? -um, hmm. I don't like it.
-If you don't like it. Take it and go. -Brother, brother.
Listen to me. He's shown some mercy & offered me a refuge.
Don't spoil it. You also listen to him brother.
Ok, it's your wish. I'll take your leave then.
Ok. You go into the house.
Sanchiah, careful don't talk of this to anyone.
If anyone asks say she's your daughter.
From this month onwards, I've raised your salary by Rs.10.
Don't let even Raghu know of this.
As you say, even if they slit my throat I won't tell them.
[groans]
Couldn't you cry! Idiot.
"Seeing my role in the new culture committee"
"how many people praised me"
"King of actors, Gem of actors, supreme actor"
"I should receive all these titles and be out of control"
"Every city, village & smaller villages also"

"At every coffee hotel in every village"

Oho
"I should be regarded as one of the greats of andhra's drama field"
"the theaters & people should recognise and felicitate"
"For capital people should give & keep giving loans"
" & this vast andhra should take care of me"
[concludes singing]
-[clapping] Once more. -No more.
That's ok, but where's the tiffin man?
The coffee hotel man refused to run a tab.
-Why? -Our fame has spread there, that's all.
Then didn't you give him our drama tickets book?
Here. He said no anyway.
-Ma, I'm hungry, bro I'm hungry. -Wait chap.
-Is the kirana shop still giving us loan? -Yes he is.
Then take two Gold flake cigarrette boxes from him.
Why cigarettes when I'm hungry man?
Wait man, that's what I'm arranging.
Take 2 cigarrette boxes, sell it for two annas less in the next shop & get food.
Aha, what a brain yours is? It should be sent to the museum while your alive.
I've have some money with me. Come here man.
The food will not digest with money. Hey Takku, you go on.
Hey Tikku, take him along & dress him like a king.
-Come on. -Why a King's disguise?
You don't know, I'll tell you later, you go.
-Come on sir. -Hello Chitti Sir, come.
Please step in, come in. My house is purified by your gracing it.
Your house! What Bhajagovindam...
...not enough giving it on rent, are you owning the house too.
That is the difference between me and other sir.
Look, even if it's rented I'm used to looking after it like my own.
Look, I've cleaned the cobwebs at my own expense.
Drove the bats out & even painted the walls.
Ah, very great work you did.
Keeping 5 months rent due you've spent Rs.5.
This will not work. Today you need to clear all my dues.
Calm down, calm down. Anger does not become a businessman.
You should cajole, pamper, nourish and grab the profit.
Look here, this is Rs.500/- deposit it.
-What's this? -Our drama tickets.
There are 50. Rs.10 per ticket. You take Rs.100.
Of the remaining 400, you take 200 towards old dues & return 200 to us.
Ah, it's a nice business? Who will buy these?
Who will buy these? Stand at the entrance you will know.
Rama Setti & Kama Setti became lakhpatis by selling tickets in black.
Is it true Bhajagovindam? Will these sell?
Will they sell? They'll fly away like hot pakodas. Huh.
Give me Rs.50 advance. Remaining you can give me after you sell.
50? I don't have right now. Take a 25.
-Hmmm, enough you've bought. -Ok, here.
That's ok but what did you do to Mr. Ramadas' dues?
Here, you always keep confusing things.
Where will the money go from him?
Because you hurried, he got angry & got a 50,000 & cleared the smaller dues.
I spoke to Chandulal, Rs.2 interest.
Did I say I won't give at Rs.2 interest?
With me you bargain for halfs & quarters and you throw away to others.
Look Bhajagovindam, remaining 40,000 I will give you tomorrow.
Not just that, if there are any good parties let me know.
-I won't forget about you. -Oh
If someone wants to pawn jewels, don't let it go. Doesn't matter if it's stolen.
-Huh. -Huh.
[moans]
-Uh, it's nice. -What's all this Bhajagovindam?
Disguise. Without a disguise, wishes will not get fulfilled.
For my wishes, you want me to get down to cheating?
Tsk, I don't like it.
Here, my uncle has given maintenance money.
Keep this with you & keep taking care of whatever my sister needs.
I'll take leave.
Will your sister's family get set right with this money?
-Then what do I do? -What is there, you must disguise yourself
Cheating is the medicine for cheating. You've to remove a thorn with a thorn.
Why dressing me up like a festive bull for this?
Why? In this country kings & emperors, sages & ascetics only have respect.
You put on this beard. I'll play one drama with this 5000.
With that you just watch how your fame builds up.
The same old Mukunda Rao who refused to give you the girl...
...will be after you to marry Manjari.
That is what is cheating. That is what I don't like to do.
If you don't like it, there your sister's & here Manjari's lives will be spoilt.
Won't I lose my respect if my disguise is revealed.
No you will not lose it.
If you loseyour respect, then along with yours, your uncle Ramadas'...
...and his to be in laws Mukunda Rao both will lose theirs too.
Get up, get up.
The food is ready. Do you want me to serve?
There, you are talking again.
Didn't I tell you to close your mouth & be like a mute person?
Uh. If you make such mistakes, I'll drive you out of the house beware.
By the way, why have you come here? What happened to Sanchiah?
-In grandpa's room... -There again you are speaking.
What is he doing there?
[Mute signals]
Ok, that's enough. Go, go.
Bonkulamarri Raja. He needs a house it seems.
Mr. Ramadas, sent him to tell you so.
-Greetings. -Greetings.
Please sit, I'll tell my grandfather.
Why bother your grandfather for a small thing?
Can't you give it after taking the rent?
I don't do anything which my grandfather doesn't like.
What Bhajagovindam, you said like this?
She won't do anything which her grandfather doesn't like it seems?
Small things, they won't, if it's a big thing...
Big means, marriage and associated things?
No marriage or anything. Bhajagovindam who is he?
Don't you see, it's Bonkulamarri Raja.
He's unmarried yet. If along with the home he can find a girl, he'll take her along.
-Do you like it? -What talk is this?
-Grandfather! -Wait, wait, I think you've forgotten.
Near the central jail...
Uh, it's you! What is this disguise?
I got the Goddess command to first set my house. Hence the disguise.
Folks of the city, brothers & sisters
there are many arts, in which the important are...
...poetry, painting, music, dance, comedy, literature, debt
Debt? Bhajagovindam, come here.
What is this man? I asked you to write about arts & you included debt?
Earlier, in that place was fraud & theft
Since as per law fraud is illegal, I included debt.
As per law its not wrong to incur debt.
To speak it's actually great. See how great our Ramadas is in this city.
If he wants he'll give 10 lakhs and take 10 lakhs.
-Bhajagovindam, who is he? -Bonkulamarri Raja.
-He's come to meet you. -Oh no what he coming to met me!
If I knew I'd go to meet him right. Please sit, please sit.
Kings have become rare in this city. It's been so long.
What work is he here for?
He's going to live in this city for a while. He wants the next house for rent.
Oh that's all. Surely. Have you come with your wife and children?
No, he's still not married.
Huh, any servants travelling along?
No, as soon as the house is settled he'll call for them.
Then we'll send our Avataram till then. Avataram!
-Sir. -Show the king the neighbouring house.
Please come, please come.
Huh, look dear, you too keep finding out what the king requires from time to time.
Bhajagovindam, the king looks handsome. All old customs.
Wonder how much land he has.
Oh what do I say! This & that he has in every district.
How do you think it will be if we give Manjari to the king?
-It'll be fantastic. -It will won't it?
How can we do that? We don't know about him, he doesn't know about us.
Yes, yes. Even why should he marry our girl?
Who knows which king or emperor's alliance he's looking for?
Huh, that's also true.
Bhajagovindam, you somehow use your brain & turn the King towards us.
I'll see. I've called him tomorrow to my drama. He's also an art aficionado.
He said he will give our culture committee, a gift of 5000.
If you want to make an alliance with him you shouldn't be lesser than him in anyway
Oh, no problem to that. We'll do it liberally.
Brothers & Sisters.
We request Kandur's king to be the chief guest for our committee's performance.
[clapping]
Without the king's help, no educational institution, no arts committee..
...exists in Andhra region is no marvel.
-5000. -Aha, he has given us 5000 as gift.
Dewan Bahadur Mukunda Rao, your donation.
Huh, take another 5000.
Thank you. Honorable Rao Bahadur Ramadas your donation?
Take 1000.
1000. How if you don't give even half of what I've given?
Bhajagovindam, write two and a half.
-Sir? -Ok write.
Thank you.
Mr. Setti, your donation.
We are not in the practice of giving donation. I'll give commission if needed.
I have a diamond necklace. Get the king to buy it.
Right. Get it immediately. But don't forget my commission.
"Bravo! victory to you"
"Lord, Bravo! victory to you"
"I'm blessed"
"Lord, Bravo! victory to you"
"Your slight smile, your complete silence"
"They are my strenghts"

"I'm blessed"
"Lord, Bravo! victory to you"
[concludes singing]
[clapping]
Here Setti, take your money. You came after me for 10,000.
Oh, I didn't come for the money. Where'll the money go from you? Keep it.
Cha, cha, a loan again from you!
You'll beg & give it & the next day onwards you stick like a tattoo.
I don't need your money, go, go.
How if you get angry so? Did you see this Bhajagovindam?
He's refusing when I'm giving him money.
Tell him, tell him son.
Can't tell Mr. Ramadas. Even if the interest is more...
...he vowed not to borrow anything less tahn 50,000.
Yes,yes. I've brought the remaining 40,000 too.
Son, then write down as Rs.2 interest.
Ah, you said that, it's nice.
-I'll take leave then. -Ah ok.
What he wants is interest, what we need is principal.
My donation is 2500. Miscellaneous dues are 1500. I'm taking this.
What is the hurry for the donation?
Ah, nicely you ask. Even if it's a loan first the donations must be given.
There the king has already given.
If we don't give, won't our respect fall in front of Mr.Muunda Rao.
Ah, by the way, do you know who that king is?
Why not? He's staying at Mukunda Rao's house.
He has a lot of money but little brain.
The moment I asked donation he threw away 5000.
Is it so? Now we need a loan of 2 lakhs right?
Won't it be ok to take it from him?
That's ok. You are telling me now! I already made that plan & went to him.
Don't be in a hurry. I'll catch the bird in the net.
Look, even a fish doesn't get caught unless there is a bait.
Yes, yes, if he needs anything put it on my tab & send it.
Oh why not if you give me that trust.
Is that why you're all decked up? What else go see him & come.
Looks like its many days since you've seen him.
Yes, I will, I don't need your permission to go & see him.
But don't you need your grandfather's permission?
He only asked me to come. I'm going.
Bhajagovindam, what's all this hustle bustle?
This is all your effect.
Yesterday you were worth nothing, today you are a lakhpati.
Your uncle Ramdas sent me to borrow 2 lakhs & has sent all this as gifts.
-2 Lakhs! -How will get that Bhajagovindam?
Give him, I'll make him go around the house saying we'll give it.
[laughing]
-Greetings. -Greetings, who? Setti, oh come come.
-Did you bring the necklace? -Yes I did.
-Very good. -Wear it & see madam.
Same model I made two. One the nawab of Nandikonda bought & went to Pakistan.
This is the only one in all of India.
It's very nice, but why this now?
It's Manjari devi's birthday tomorrow. Shouldn't you give her a gift?
There's things in the chest, aren't they?
What will old things do? How much is its price man?
Like it matters to you! It's 50,000.
Write up a tab & come next month. Go.
Bhajagovindam,, how to clear all these dues?
All the smaller dues, I'll get your uncle to clear them.
If that's done, then this one big amount will remain.
If things go according to my plan & you get married, we'll clear it.
Else, we'll return his item to him.
-Ok? -Nice fellow you are!
What boy you are looking like that? It's Mr. Mukunda Rao.
-Did you forget? -Oh no I didn't. Greetings sir.
What son though I sent you to England you are still following the old methods?
There's something right, shakehand?
Oh grand old man! Feeling better?
So then father, where is grandfather?
He's inside son.
She is Mukunda Rao's granddaughter, Manjari devi.
Why are you feeling shy? We are talking of marriage between you two.
Oh yes, yes. Ms. Manjari, nice girl.
Master Bhajagovindam, head clerk, Messrs. Ramadas & sons.
I know, I know. How is the business?
It's fantastic. I'll leave.
These are our servants.He's Sanchiah, that is his daughter, she's mute.
Oh Mr. Sanchiah & Ms. Sanchiah.
Oh why do you bother with'the servants. Come sit.
No, no,no. They are servants only by profession.
What differences among humans? In England there are no such differences.
There's no class, no caste.
If it isn't there it isn't, but in our country we have them.
We should do as per our country norms.
Sanchiah, go get coffee.
Come, come & sit down.
Raghu, you've changed a lot as a person from earlier to now.
Not just person, after going to England my mind, emotions have all changed.
Did you notice? If our leaders hadn't gone to england they'd never want freedom.
Listen to me & for one year send your daughter to England.
Why go seperately? After marriage you both can go together.
Yes, yes, I also want to see that country. Will you come too grandfather?
What's the hurry dear? Let the marriage happen, we'll see.
All right, all right. Raghu tell them news of England, I'll just be back.
[humming]
What Bhajagovindam! Our fellows methods are all old school.
Do you think Mukunda Rao will like them?
Oh, his respect will increase more because of that.
-Did you speak to the king? -I did sir.
His payouts will come next month it seems, he will give us the first installment.
In the meanwhile, you also keep meeting him.
Looks like, Mr. Mukunda Rao has an eye on the king.
Maybe he wants to give his granddaughter. He's given the house & sends food too.
Oh, he's putting his efforts there? That's why he's acting strange.
Ok, I'll take care of that issue.
You don't let the king's loan matter slip.
Will I let it slip? I already bought a radio, sofa set etc.
Good thing you did. In case he needs any thing else, you look at it.
-Oh, I'll look. -Uh.
So in England the cooks & the waiters have different dresses, is it?
Ah yes. There they are very clean.
Morning at 6 coffee, at 8 tiffin, at 1 lunch, at 4 tea at 9 dinner...
...at 10 sleep, everything happens as per time.
-Did you hear? -Ah, she heard, she heard.
Poor thing, she mute not deaf.
Everything is happening on time as per your program.
I know, I Know.
"O cousin"
"In my mind overflows the love floods"
"Like milk & water mix together to be one"
"Aren't you & I one?"
-"O 5 coloured parrot" -"Ah"
"Ah, Oh 5 coloured parrot, why are you so upset"
"Oh 5 coloured parrot, why are you so upset"
"Why don't you talk? Why don't you talk?"
"Let the pearls roll from your mouth"
"Oh 5 coloured parrot, why are you so upset"
"O cousin"
"Change your crooked ways"
"If you just simply say you & I are one"
"Will the world agree?"
-"Oh naughty cousin" -"Aha"
"Oh naughty cousin, why should we continue to fight"
"If my father sees, if my father sees"
"he will take you to task"
"Oh naughty cousin, why should we continue to fight"
"Why are you exploding like a big firecracker"
"Do you or don't you have any love for me O cousin"
"Oh 5 coloured parrot, why are you so upset"
"Just because I'm your cousin, you take me for granted"
"It's not respect, this cousins play"
"Oh naughty cousin, why should we continue to fight"
"If my father sees, he will take you to task"
-"Oh naughty cousin" -"Oh 5 coloured parrot"
Cousin, mother is calling.
How does it matter where I am? I keep chanting the Lord's name.
Boy, at least you teach your father a lesson.
He's gotten used to taking loans and living luxuriously.
If there's someone to lend, its enough, he'll get any amount.
Why do you worry about him? If so all the wealth will go.
I'll earn right.
You can earn the wealth but where will you earn the respect?
It's not being possible to believe anything he says.
He's saying that your wife is dead.
But I don't believe it at all.
Then you think she's alive grandfather?
She's alive son. Her father & mother passed away.
The brother is roaming the country.
Poor thing, who knows what struggles she's facing?
-Do you still remember her? -I saw her during childhood.
If she's alive won't I recognise her? I'll go to her village tomorrow itself.
-You come grandpa we'll go into the house. -I won't come son.
Until he realises, begs me & takes me I won't come.
Raghu, you are educated, you have intelligence...
...somehow make him understand.
-Ok grandpa. -Not like that, put your hand in mine.
Ok, I'll leave grandpa.
Boy, lock it & go. He will cry.
Ok, you go & come brother.
Is your daughter really a mute?
Yes sire, she's a mute.
Then she was talking to someone in the backyard?
Very well sire, your blaming my child. How will a mute talk?
Stop man, stop. I heard everything.
She's singing brother,brother.
Tell me really, who's that girl? Is she your daughter?
-No sire. -Then, is she your relative?
um hmm. She is your relative.
Where do we have any relatives?
Your wife, Leela madam.
Ah, that means my wife is alive.
-Ah your seeing isn't it? -What is all this drama?
-Does my father know? -He does sire, it's his drama all this.
Oho, is it so? Then where is her brother?
I don't know sire. Mr. Bhajagovindam knows
Don't tell anyone that I've told you this.
If the big sire knows, he will take away my job.
Ok,you must also not tell anyone that I know all this matter.
-um, hmm. -Don't tell even Leela.
[Mute signals]
Oh Ms. Sanchiah nice girl.
[Mute signals]
Hey, go & send Ms. Sanchiah.
Why she boy? She's a mute.
She doesn't know anything.
No, no, no. Nice girl. I want her only.
How do I send her sir? She's an unmarried girl.
If you keep giving shakehands & touching her cheeks, how will she come here?
No I won't send her.
-You won't send? -Um, hmm.
Father did you see his stubbornness. I'm dismissing him. Go away.
I will only go.
Let it go boy, he's been there since a long time.
Sanchiah you go & send your daughter.
Isn't it wrong to touch an unknown girl, boy?
What's wrong? It's normal in England.
That's all right father, but how did my wife die?
Will there be a reason for death?
The debt beween her & us was over, she passed on.
Poor thing, she was a very nice girl.
It's as if she's still standing in front of my eyes.
Why do recollect all the old things? Have your food.
I'm not hungry father.
Why are you thinking boy? Is everyone dying along with those who die?
Look, Mr. Mukunda Rao has a wealth of 10 lakhs.
You've seen the girl too. She's very intelligent.
I'll fix that alliance. Listen to me & get married.
Ok.
-Then get up for food. -Send my dinner here itself.
Ok.
Serve his food there.
Sanchiah!
[crying]
[Mute signals]
[crying continues]
[tapping wooden spoons] [Mute signals]
What is this when I'm crying about my dead wife.
[Mute signals]
I don't need these, take it back.
[Mute signals]
Didn't she die? Is she alive?
[Mute signals]
-Do you know? -[Mute signals]
[Mute signals]
Why are you after me? Do I need to really eat?
[Mute signals]
What is this mute female?
Ah. You feel like laughing when I'm crying is it?
-Enough, enough. -Serve him.
-He's hesitating. -I'm not hesistating. I've eaten well.
-Ah, did you see my cousin? -Oh.
-How's he? -He's doing well.
Hat, boot, suit. There's a lot of difference between you two.
You're east & he's west.
As soon as he saw me, he said nice girl and tapped my cheek.
Oh is it so? Isn't it wrong to touch girls.
It may be wrong for you. It's fashion for him.
He held my hand and even shook it.
What is this? Why have you gotten up without having curds?
-Did you get angry? -No. It's not good to have curd at night.
Everything is wrong for you.
I'll send milk, have at least that.
He tapped her cheek it seems, shook her hand it seems.
Avataram!

Then if the disguise is revealed, will the old keep quiet?
That's what, till the marriage happens it shouldn't be revealed.
If you get the old man angry then he will immediately marry Manjari to Raja.
Oh, how difficult is that! I'll take care of it.
Careful, my father, Mukunda Rao all are involved in this.
That's why without causing the elders pain we must teach them a lesson softly.
Nobody should know that I know about this, hmm.
[clicks fingers] Right.
-Bhajagovindam -I'm coming sir.
Come on. The King is used to Nawab's courtesies, we must be very humble there.
Oh all right. Take the case.
[trumpets blowing]
What's all this?
[metal clanging]
You've brought even eggs?
The customs say that Gods & Kings shuld not be met empty handed.
Please accept this.
-I don't have the habit. -Keep it, it'll be useful for guests.
-The Ramadas that I spoke to you of is him -Oh.
He has a wealth of about 20 lakhs. He's a big tobacco businessman.
The coming steamers, the going steamers, the debtors & the creditors...
...oh the whole house is like a great pilgrimage place.
Then why does someone who has as much wealth & business, need a loan?
The money is all invested in the business, sir.
My only son's wedding, I want to perform it grandly.
Oho. So it's for the son's wedding.
Then you must be getting a lakh or two in dowry.
What one or two lakhs sir, it's Mukunda Rao's granddaughter.
She's coming with a wealth of 10 lakhs.
Ah,, what wealth! That's not enough for my son's pocket expenses.
But I'm not seeing the wealth & getting him married sir.
They've both loved each other since childhood & hence I said ok.
Oh all right. Then I shouldn't refuse for a good task.
I'll give you in the next month.
Dewan, please write in the account books in the name of Mr. Ramadas, 2 lakhs.
As you say. Why writing it down now? It's enough if you just remember it.
-I'll meet you again. -That's fine.
That's fine.
You're still here?
If you delay like this, Manjari will slip out of the hands.
Looks like that old man is greedy for money & wanting to marry her to the King.
Here, a gift for Manjari's birthday.
You somehow must love her or cheat her and get her into your grip.
Oh how hard is that! I learnt al about love in England from the white women.
Ah! White women?
-Please sit. Madam is on the terrace. -Go call her.
[clears throat]
-Ah you are? -Raja ok Kandur Bonkulamarri.
Oh you are king of Bonkulamarri. That's what you look like.
I'm Dr.Raghuram, L.R.C.P and F.R.C.S. Son of Rao Bahadur Ramadas.
Oho you're Ramadas' son? That's what I thought.
I recollect your father coming to me for some work?
What other work does he have? He must've come for a loan.
Yes, yes, he asked for a loan of 2 lakhs. I asked him to take it.
How much is 2 lakhs for you? It's after all 4 letters for you.
Oh, wonderful, beautiful. Hello, Manjari.
Happy birthday to you. Nice girl.
Wonderful, beautiful. Hello Manjari.
Happy birthday to you. Nice girl.
Birthday present.
This is good.
Manjari, come on.

Manjari! Manjari!
Ah, ah. What Doctor? What is this?
Love, grandpa, love. I'm in love with Manjari. Wonderfully in love.
I can't live without Manjari.
What is this? Will anyone who's in love declare it like this?
-What do say, King? -Yes, sir.
My God! Grandpa what will kings know about love?
They'll marry & take them and throw them in a harem.
They then won't even look at our faces.
They are cruel, hard, villians, heartless persons.
I'll take leave Mr. Mukunda Rao.
Ah, uh. What is this man your anger?
Who are you to insult the big man who came to my house?
Me? I'm a love worshipper.
I keep Manjari in flowers and worship her.
I'll place her on a pedestal and worship her.
Listen to me & marry her off to me immediately.
Else I'll fast unto death at your doorstep.
Then along with mine, your name will also be in the papers.
The whole world will say you are cruel, evil person & a demon & curse you.
-If they scold, let them. Get out. -Thank you.
Even if you ask me to go now, tomorrow you will call & marry her to me. I'll leave.
Where are you travelling?
Even I don't know where. I'm just leaving from here.
Why? Did you get angry with me?
No, I'm not angry. I'm unable to carry on this cheating & fraud.
Except for your justice & principles, you don't care about others joys or sorrows.
You are very selfish.
You may think whatever, but I can't stay in this environment.
Please forgive me.
Then tell grandfather too. I'll send him.
Grandfather! The King is leaving.
He's leaving? Why?
What did we say? Did we fall short of something?
-Come let's find out. -I won't come.
What dear? Did you both have some quarrel?
Look dear, I've decided to marry you to the king only.
Uh, do you like it?
Which king?
Uh, our king only.
Are you leaving? You can't leave.
Will you leave for some wayward fellow's talk?
-It's not that. -It's not that or this.
If you leave, my girl will be upset.
I just found out her opinion. If you have no objection you can get married.
I have no objection but this is not something that'll happen.
Why won't it? I'm giving the girl, you're marrying her.
Uh! Who's in the middle?
No sir, there is a lot of confusion in this.
I'll tell you the truth, please listen.
You don't need to tell me anything further I'll fix the auspicious day immediately.
No Sir, I'll tell you in one word. I'm a very poor person.
If you are poor then we are worse than you, is that ok?
Hey Avataram. Ah!
What did cousin say?
He said he'll come. In the meanwhile he asked me to eat laddus & start kicking.
-He asked you to cry! -[in unison:]Ah, Uh
Drink it. My wife is an ace at making coffee.
-First -[giggling]
Ratnam! Rajaratnam, bring the girl here.
The groom is hurrying.
Oh, oh what happened, Ramu. [indistinct shouting]
Ramu, Ramu.
[indistinct shouting]
[shouting continues]
Ramu, Ramu Ramiah
What aunty? What uncle? What happened?
-Someone brought laddus. -He ate them & rolled his eyes.
-What poison is in that! -What nonsense was there in that?
Bhajagovindam, go & get a doctor.
Why doctor uncle, I'll go & report in the police station.
Why sir?
-Who are you? -I'm the bridegroom
Bridegroom? What did you mix in that?
I didn't mix anything. I got it made in the purest cow ghee.
-If so why did this happen? -I don't know, I don't know.
I beg you. I beg you.
Bhajagovindam, go & get a doctor.
Why doctor uncle? I'll first take this guy report in the police station and...uh.
-[in unison:] Ramu, Ramu. -Brother
Hey Ramu, get up, the bridegroom has gone.
Eat up all the laddus.
What cheating? Is this all your doing?
I struggled so much to bring an alliance and you are spoling it?
Should I keep quiet without spoiling it if you keep getting crazy alliances?
Get an allliance better than me, I'll agree.
Who are you to agree? My daughter I'll get her married to whomever I want.
If Usha is your daughter, she's my niece's daughter.
Whatever right you have on Usha, I too have the same.
-What is your damn right! -Uncle, uncle!
Hmph!
[clears throat]
[Mute signals]
-Ah. -Ah.
[Mute signals]
That's all right but how long has it been since you lost your voice?
[Mute signals]
Oh, so it's been very long?
So did you lose it when you were this much, this much or this much?
[Mute signals]
Tsk, tsk, poor thing.
Look, your voice will return. Shall I operate?
[Mute signals]
Why? You don't want your voice?
[Mute signals]
Then who'll marry you?
[Mute signals]
Look, will you marry me?
[Mute signals]
Why? Because your mute?
"So what if you are mute"

"So what if you are mute"
Raghu. Raghu.
What happened to the work you went for boy?
-It's over. -It's done!
Did Manjari agree?
Oh, we sat beside each other & spoke.
We sat face to face and sang songs.
What to tell you father? I'm unable to forget Manjari.
Bravo! you did a good job.
For whom is that letter?
For Mr.Mukunda Rao.
Have you lost your mind? Tear it.
When he's ready to get you married?...
That's why this letter. I'm exposing the truth.
Nice fellow you are. You've again come to the beginning.
Madam, madam.
-Avataram. -Sire.
Give this letter to Mr. Mukunda Rao.
Excuse me, where's that letter?
I sent it through Avataram.
Enough of this fun, now give it.
No, I've really sent it.
Ah Bhajagovindam, go quickly and get that letter.
Sir
Sir.
What's your noise?
-Letter sir. -So what, you can't wait a while?
As you say.
From where is the letter?
It's from the king.
From the king?
Oh, what's there? It's the same old song. Again he says he will go away.
Let him go. Madam also doesn't like it.
Why don't you like? Everything as per your likes is it?
Is it easy to get a king again and again?
You definetely must marry, uh.
Yes, yes. There Mr. Ramadas is also coming.
Come in, come in. We were just talking about you.
Fix the auspicious day. I'll leave.
Good things to be done soon. His son is also hurrying it seems.
Yes, my son loves Manjari a lot.
He's pining calling Manjari, Manjari.
Ah,huh. He's pining. Look Ramadas tell your son not to speak my girl's name.
I've decided to give my girl to the king.
He's also agreed. Here's the letter.
To respected Dewan Bahadur Mukunda Rao, Raja salutes & writes
Yesterday I unsuccessfully tried to tell you the truths.
But you didn't listen.
It is true that Manjari and me love each other
Did you see, the king loves her it seems.
What dear?
Keep quiet, grandfather, you're too much. Give me that letter.
Wait, wait. Let me read what's written.
But there's only one obstacle for our wedding.
You know Rao Bahadur Ramadas.
Why don't I know? I know him and I know his son.
My father & Mr. Ramadas belong to the same village. They were great friends.
Oh so this is the matter.
So you are trying to spoli the marriage in this way too?
That won't work!
No, no please read. He's not a king, he's some thief.
He's not a thief, you're a thief.
Your plans will not work with me. Go out.
Let that go. It's ok. Give me that letter.
No letter or anything. Go out.
Come on dear.
Ramalingiah, what's all this?
What friendship between his father & me?
There is some fraud in this.
He says king, king, but we don't know his name.
Looks like he doesn't have any money with him either.
He hasn't paid that Chidambaram Setti the money for the necklace.
He asked me.
What more? Ask him to go and ask for money.
-His secret will be exposed. -Ah, all right.
What is this king, yesterday I convinced you & what is with the letter again?
-Did you see my letter? -Ah, yes, I've seen it completely.
Do you like it then?
I like it. I just told Ramadas also that I can't go ahead.
I have no objection. Go ahead.
Aha! You say that, that's nice.
Hey Ramdin, we have to smash & throw away this king.
Ok, as you say.
What ok? Come here.
Where will you go without knowing who it is?
The king who is staying in Mukunda Rao's house, it's him.
Oh, I'll kill him.
Oh don't kill him. Just break his hands & legs & make him useless and throw him.
-Go on. -Ok.
[humming]
[humming continues]
[concludes singing]
[metal clangs]
[hiccups]
[speaking Hindi]
Come, come, you have come in time.
Big bro take it, little bro here.
Are all our people well brother?
Don't mind it brother
Take some more brother, why're you still standing. Sit down.
Injustice brother, injustice.
[laughing] Bravo! Bravo!
I'll give, I'll give.
He's a big useless one.
Dullard, hopeless.
[laughing] Here, here.
[grunting]
Brother, your is a good grip, grip well, grip.
[laughing] No brother, no. Balance nil.
It's over. [giggling]
Sssh.
Hey, take him also.
Take him too.
Idiots! You are of no use except for eating.
Wrestler, it seems, wrestlers!
What do you know sire, he hit us by cheating.
In the fear of being revealed, I carried him away.
He messed up. [groans]
Ramdin, Ramdin! [groans continue]
What is "same beating"? Have you lost your mind or are you drunk?
I neither lost my mind nor am I drunk.
Same beating, same hand, same person, ah.
Same person? Who is that fellow?
Same fellow uncle. Didn't he hit me at our home that day?
It was him there too uncle. Him only.
What him? Raja! What a fraud! What a fraud!
Ok, I'll take care of him.
So Mr. Ramadas has still not lost hope it looks.
The incidents of last night indicate the same.
With this beating he will leave it.
Sir, Chidambaram Setti has come for money.
- Didn't you tell him we'll pay later? -I did but he didn't listen.
He got angry, he said you must come right now.
Hmm, ok, you go.
This too looks like Mr. Ramadas' play.
Looks like he's trying to expose us.
What will he expose? Return his jewellery saying we didn't like it.
-Greetings Sir. -What Setti, why have you come?
Something urgent came up. I came so you could give me money.
Yes, I thought of sending it myself. But madam didn't like the item.
Here take it. If you want send another design, we'll see.
What work have you come for?
What other work is there? You said you would help me get money, didn't you?
I told you I'll give it in the next month right?
Why have you come already?
I came to chase you away.
-Uh? -Ah!
Take off this disguise and go back respectfully to your village.
I won't go.
If you don't go, I'll bring you onto the streets.
If you bring me to the streets, you will also reach there.
If both of us fall to the market there is no benefit to anyone.
Listen, if this marriage happens, I'll get you that 2 lakhs loan.
Huh, you dream so. Marriage for your life!
What loan will you get me? Leela! Leela!
Here is your brother.
He's a king it seems & he will marry Manjari it seems.
Now you stay with your brother. He'll raise to the pedestal.
Beware, don't step back into my home.
-Uncle. -Brother.
Brother, why should you not get married for me?
I don't have the fate for happiness. At least you get married.
Ah, he will!
Mukunda Rao still does not know about him.
If he comes to know,, leave aside marriage he will send him to jail.
I'm going there only.
Uncle, then if I leave this house will you keep my sister?
Nothing of that sort. I'll let her live in the house, that's all.
Promise me firmly at least that.
Hadn't I promised this already?
Brother!
-Dear. -Brother![crying]
I'll take care of my situation. You don't worry about it. Keep quiet.
Ramalingam, you haven't got the wedding invites printed, the wedding is nearing.
As you say. The auspicious time is still not fixed.
I'll get that fixed. Leave that little empty.
Ok. The you haven't told the bridegrooms name.
What's in the name? Print it as King of Kandur & Bonkulamarri.
As you say. There are no villages by that name.
Actually they're saying he's not a king.
Who's that donkey who says so?
Not a donkey, it was me.
He's not a king or anything. He's a thief who came to cheat you in disguise.
A fraud, an unfortunate fellow.
Yes, one who has gifted a 50,000 necklace is unfortunate & you are fortunate!
There! That is where you got misled.
Now find out where the necklace is?
He fooled Chidambaram Setti and gave it to you.
The moment he asked money, he returned the necklace.
Why don't you ask your granddaughter?
Is it so? Manjari! Manjari!
Then why did you roam around him for a loan?
Why do I need a loan?
I used to go to expose his truth.
Now the truth is known, I sent him on his way.
Ah, can you bring that necklace which the king gifted to you.
That, uh, that is there grandfather.
Where, bring it!
It's not a home. The links came loose so I gave to the king to get it repaired.
-Did you see the drama? -What cheating!
Where, where is that king?
Where will he be still? He gave the item to Chidambaram Setti and flew away.
Manjari, will you also join hands with him and cheat grandfather?
I didn't cheat anyone.
This Ramadas only is cheating you and me and the world.
Keeping a daughter-in-law at home, he's hoping to get me married to his son.
What cheating! Ramalingam, look for another good alliance for our child.
Where will you get a better alliance than our man?
Honorably get Manjari married to my son. He loves Manjari a lot.
Still keeping up the alliance with you is it?
If not with me, who else did you think will come for you?
You brought somebody and called him king.
Kept him at home. Grovelled at his feet.
He raised a stink about you in the city and escaped.
Who will still come for a marriage?
If any idiot comes, I'll tell them all about you and drive them away.
-Ramalingam! -Ramadas' will do as he says sir!
Don't get into a tiff with him.
Why're you still standing instead of calling him back?
-Ah, ah, Mr. Ramadas! Mr. Ramadas! -What?
Why are you getting so angry, please come in.
Why should I, after I was honored so well just now?
Come chap, nothing has befallen your honour.
So we'll fix the alliance. Look for a good day & fix the auspicious time.
Ramalingam, tell the girl as well.
-Do you know where he went? -I don't know madam.
Mr. Ramadas came & shouted at him to go to his village.
He agreed and left.
Then ask Bhajagovindam. May be he knows something.
As you say, madam.
Madam, the marriage is fixed with Mr.Raghu
Grandfather wanted me to inform you.
I won't get married to him. Go and tell grandpa.
Don't say that dear. He's very angry.
If you say no, now, his will write away his wealth to some temple or somewhere.
Let him write it away. I don't like this marriage.
Hello my dear Manjari.
Don't call me dear. I'm do not want to marry you.
Don't marry! Did I ask you?
Your grandfather said he'd give your hand.
If he says he'd give, how can you marry when you have a wife?
Why do you ask me that? Go and ask your grandfather.
My grandfather has lost his mind. Have you lost yours too?
Aha, after seeing your wealth and beauty even I've lost my mind.
Manjari, what do you know about how much I love you.
If you want to, tear my heart and see.
Where do you have a heart except for a stone?
You and your father are cheats, hand in glove thieves.
Tell me the truth, do you love me or my wealth?
-Do you wan me to tell? -Hmmm.
Your money only. Otherwise who will marry you?
The King who earlier cheated you also came for the money only, isn't it?
Raja neither came for the wealth nor did he cheat.
I only brought him. I've loved only him.
Wherever he is, I will search and wed only him.
Marry him, your grandfather will not give even a penny.
Let him not give. We don't need money.
Then will you eat roots and live in the forest?
We will live someplace. Why do you care?
Bravo! You made me a king earlier, now you've made me an ascetic.
Will the spell work?
Without fail. These old people want either a King or an ascetic.
He'll simply fall into the trap. You just be careful.
-Don't forget what I said. -Ok.
Usha, until uncle comes you get your hand read.
The ascetic will give a amulet, pretend to forget me as soon as the thread is tied.
Why act? I'll forget really itself.
If you forget really then that bridegroom is fixed.
-Cha. -Cousin, cousin.
-Father is coming. -He's coming,, sit, sit, you sit.
-Not you, not you. -M..mother, mother, me.
Sit quickly, sit sit.
Bhajagovindam, paramanandam.
[expressing astonishment]
What lines, what lines!
Fate line, progeny line, oho, this girl is of royal stature.
When it's time for marriage a lucky groom will come by himself.
How much later will he come, Swami?
She's of age. Whoever comes is going back.
They will go. They are ones who must go back.
The real man will come. Uh. But the child doesn't have freedom.
This little girl's wedding is linked to another girl's wedding.
Ratnam! Who is he?
Don't you know? He's Sarvabakshaka swami.
Some time ago in the papers it appeared that dead people revived, lepers cured...
...he's that person.
Great person, he's 600 years old it seems.
He's just like that. He doesn't need food.
He eats stones, cups, glasses.
-Greetings, swami. -Bhajagovindam, paramanandam.
Don't take the name of that unfortunate fellow swami.
Ah. You disrespect my teacher itself you sinful fellow!
He initiated me. Bhajagovinda paramananda swami.
He swam in the air. He flew in the sky.
He made fire in his palm.
Today he wil be on earth, tomorrow in heaven, day after in the nether world.
He will be seen so and disappear like that.
Swami, you must forgive. I didn't talk of your teacher.
I spoke of my nephew Bhajagovindam, swami.
-Uh, him? -Whatever it is, I'll marry my cousin only
Did you see swami. He's fed her something swami.
Don't be scared. I'll give a counteracting amulet for that medicine.
Get it tied to the girl. She will listen to what you say.
Swami!
-Bhajagovindam paramanandam. -Swami, swami.
-Ratnam swami's offering. Tie it to her go -All right, all right.
Swami, earlier you said that my daughter's wedding was linked to another girls...
...who's that girl swami?
You sinner. I'm knowledgable of all 3 dimensions. You're testing me itself?
[ceramic breaking] [crunching]
[breaking and crunching continues]
Swami, swami, save me, forgive me.
Bhajagovindam, paramanandam. Then listen.
It is your boss. You just fixed that marriage, didn't you?
Along with that marriage, this marriage will also happen.
I don't know Swami. That girl is not agreeing to the marriage.
She will agree, when the time comes.
Bad planets have influenced her. Bhajagovindam, paramanandam.
Yoour father has looked for a nice alliance. Will you marry?
Usha, get me some water dear.
If you want you go & drink. Did you think I was your servant?
You are commanding like a big lord!
What is this Usha? Daily when I come you come with so much love.
Why have you changed today? Has any devil got hold of you?
Ah, you are a devil, you are a ghost. Love with you? Go, go.
What is this aunt, Usha has changed like this?
-Who's this ghost doctor? -Chee, close your mouth.
Your talking withour respect. He's Sarvabhakshaka swami.
If he opens his eyes and looks you'll turn into ashes, beware.
Bhajagovindam...
What Bhajagovindam swami, you've ruined my life.
Usha! Usha!
Swami you should come to my boss' house and bring his child also in line.
Why are you concerned about their problem you sinner?
Your daughter has come in line, be happy.
Don't say that Swami. You only said that both these weddings are linked.
You must definetely come.
Swami, swami, take me also into your fold.
If Usha is not mine, why do I need this life?
Is being an ascetic so simple? You have to break all relations & affections.
To break all those affections & relations only, I want to be an ascetic. Give me.
For that you needd elders permission.
I have only my uncle as my elder swami.
What uncle?Will you give Usha to me or will you let me be an ascetic? Tell me.
Ok, make him an ascetic Swami, he's crying.
Bhajagovindam, paramanandam.
Where? Where is that creditor?
Arre, let me check if he's out.
Salutations to you.
What is this garb Setti? Why have you come?
Why else will I come? To get my dues.
Dues? Now nothing. Come back after the boy's wedding.
The whole village is saying that the wedding has stopped.
They are giving the girl to some King it seems?
Who said that? That King was just a bogus.
Don't you know? Didn't he return the jewels due to lack of money?
The allaince is fixed with us. Come, come.
Come, come, sit down.
Look Setti, I need a lakh of rupees for this wedding.
Look somewhere.
Where else will I look? I swept out & gave you everything.
If you create a fuss now, my status will go down. You won't get your money.
Hence speak of my greatness to our other creditors.
They will believe you.
You say grandly that you are giving me 25,000.
-They will also give. -Ah, where will they give?
Oho, they will give. Why do you care, you just tell.
As soon as the marriage is over I will return your monies to you
-Ok? -Ok.
But I can't give, just leave me alone.
Ok, go.
-Hey, you cheated me? -Injustice will not stand brother.
Ek Niranjan.
What is this clothes Bhajagovindam?
That Bhajagovindam is dead. Now this is Bhajagovindam swami.
My Usha is gone. Everything is gone.
Now I'm alone. Ek Niranjan.
What is gone? Did she die?
No, she forgot me.
My uncle brought some ascetic and tied an amulet.
With that she forgot me completely.
Keep quiet Bhajagovindam. Keep quiet.
Who is that ascetic?
Where is he?
Don't know. My uncle has taken him to Mukunda Rao's house.
Why does he take everyone to Mukunda Rao's house?
Ramalingam has no brain at all.
You don't worry. Even if I have to spend 10,000, I'll get you married.
No need. When Usha is not there, I don't need marriage or this world.
Ek Niranjan.
I'll tell the boy too and take his leave too.
Ek Niranjan.
Arre, what is this garb?
What did you do with Raja?
Raja has also renounced the world.
Now he's my teacher.
Where is he?
By this time he should've reached Mukunda Rao's house...
...and should be worshipping the goddess.
Then, at least this time see that your teacher's guise is not found.
-Hmm. -Hmmm.
Bhajagovindam paramanandam.
Get this tied to the girl.
Get it tied. He gave a similar one for my daughter too.
As soon as she tied it, her mind changed just like that.
Please keep serving the swami.
Manjari, here an amulet. The ascetic gave it. Tie it dear.
I don't want the amulet or anything.
Who's that fake ascetic?
That's wrong dear. He's great. Listen to me & tie this.
Did you listen to me for me to listen to you?
What is this silliness? I do all for your good only.
You are only dishonoring me by not listening to me.
Who do I have apart from you?
How much have I pampered and brought you up since childhood?
Is that why, inspite of Raghu having a wife, your giving me too?
Otherwise, who else is there to marry you now?
Already the town is abuzz.
Ramadas is threatening to send away any alliances which come.
If you also don't listen to me, why this anxiety?
I'll also renounce the world. Later you willonly sit and cry.
Swami, swami, the girl is stubbornly refusing to tie the amulet.
Why should I be in this world? Take me too into your fold.
Here are the keys. Do as you please with all my wealth.
Don't be hasty. Why do ascetics need money?
I'll set everything right.
That won't work. Here I'm keeping this. It's your wish later.
Bhajagovindam, paramanandam.
[chanting] Bhajagovindam, paramanandam.
A trusted person has cheated.
An untrusted person will do you good.
Tie it, tie it.
-I won't tie it. -Doesn't matter if it's not tied.
Even if it's air touches it will work.
Ah, it's worked, it's worked.
What did? I know your diguise. Go away.
You didn't know sinner. You are still in ignorance.
Cool down, cool down.
No cool nothing. How much money did you grab for this amulet?
I gave all my wealth. Why?
Come swami, why engage with her?
Don't be hasty. That's all like milk boiling over.
Let it boil over. Let it boil over.
It will boil over and then cool down.
When it cools down she will marry the boy she thinks of.
Here. Your rowdy behaviour will not work with me.
Manjari! Manjari!
Let her go, let her go. She will only go, she will only return.
Bhajagovindam, paramanandam.
What is this you're flirting with the servant?
What is your status? What is her status?
I don't have such things father. I love her. I'll marry her.
You're messed. If anyone hears, they will laugh & go.
I have just now fixed Manjari's alliance for you.
I won't marry that girl even if I'm dead.
She insulted me.
If you force me, I'll leave this house and go away.
Hey, Raghu! Raghu!
That's why we'll marry her and then we'll also insult her.
Look, you've grown up now. Know about the circumstances of the house too.
We are in a lot of debts now.
Only if this marriage happens & we get this wealth our debts can be cleared.
Otherwise we will get insulted among four others.
Is that the matter?
Then I'll marry her for money and her for love.
Ok, your wish. Until this marriage is done, keep this a secret.
Later if you want you can drive her away and keep this one only.
Ok. Tell Sanchiah and send the mute one here.
Uh, huh, ok. I'll send right away.
Forgive me. There is no mistake of mine in this.
There is nobody's mistake in this.
Anyway will you not become his wife?
Look, an alliance is fixed for my son. Until it's over, just be a little careful.
Go. My son is calling. Go.
Go.
[crying]
I know everything. You don't think about it.
I'll find out where your brother is.
I'll see to it that Manjari is married to him only.
Where's it? Talk!
Hmm, how long this drama?
[making mute signals]
Bhajagovindam, paramanandam.
[door shuts]
[bolt clicks]
[knock on wood]
[bolt clicks]
Bhajagovindam, paramanandam.
Come, let's go.
Where to?
Leave honorably or I'll make a noise.
[whispers loudly] Grandfather.
If you make a noise, you will be caught. Be careful.
You're a girl. It's wrong for you to go alone.
Come let's go together.
I don't need your help.
Swami, how do know I'm running away?
I'm aware of 3 dimensions. What is there that I don't know?
Where you are going, why you are going, for whom you are going, I know it all.
But your beloved is not there now.
Then where is he? Have mercy and tell me, swami.
He's everywhere. He's in fire. He's in water.
If you can find out he's right in front of your eyes.
-[laughs] -Huh, it's you!
-Huh. -What a drama you played!
This wasn't drama till now, further ahead we will have to play.
You however listen to what your grandfather says.
"Joy, supreme joy"
"Holy joy to billion devotees who heard the divine plays of baby krishna"
[in unison:]"Joy, supreme joy"
"Joy to the gopis who search for Krishna on the banks of Yamuna"
"Joy to be caught by Radha only, he who is not found by anyone else"
[in unison:]"Joy, supreme joy"
"Joy to the children & animals who find themselves lost in the music of the flute"
"Joy when Radha forgets the whole world in front of Krishna"
[in unison:]"Joy, supreme joy"
"Holy joy to billion devotees who heard the divine plays of baby krishna"
[in unison:]"Joy, supreme joy"
[clears throat]
Are you Mr. Ramalingam?
-You are? -I'm from guntur.
-Your name? -Mr. Barister Basaviah.
He has 10 lakhs wealth sir.
Ah, what's the use if it's there.
You see, I have only one son.
He's not agreeing to marry anyone.
Some Sarvabhaksha swami it seems, came into my dreams...
...son, in Ramalingam's house there's a gem of a girl. Marry only her...
...Your life will be blessed...
...is what he commanded it seems.
Since then my boy is stubbornly saying that he wants only that girl.
So we came. Is the girl here?
The girl is there, but we can't give big dowry or gifts.
-We are poor folks. -Ah, why do we need your dowry.
If you give your daughter for my son, that's enough.
If he likes, we'll finalise right now.
Here I even brought the jewels.
Ratnam! Ratnam! Bring the girl here once.
Here, look at his photo.
Did you call father?
An alliance has come from Guntur,dear.
Here's the photo, see. Do you like it?
um, hmm. I don't want father.
Will you remian like this only without getting married?
Hey Sarvabhaksha swami, change the girl's mind.
Look dear. Look well.
My son is pining to marry only you.
Dear, look. Look at that beauty.
It's your wish father.
The girl's mind has changed!
What else then, here are the jewels. just give me a receipt.
Why not?
"the snake which has caught the frog"
"Will be caught easily by the eagle"
"The one blows his own trumpet"
"They cannot fool the swami"
"Bhajagovinda"
Wow, what principles, what principles.
"The nests which the crows have built"
"the cuckoos lay their eggs in them"
"they hatch as hens on this earth and eat the goats"
"causing trouble to the fakir"
"Bhajagovinda"
Swami, swami, by your grace after so long my wish is fulfilled.
I'm going to get an alliance fixed with a big crorepati Barister Basaviah.
Ah! Is that true?
Yes sir. For the Pradhanam they've even given us jewels.
What do I say, there were emeralds, rubies diamonds. I can't know their value.
-Aha, you are a fortunate man. -It's all the swami's mercy.
Bhajagovindam, paramanandam.
There's none who's lost after believing but there are non believers who lost.
Here's the offering.
Aha, what is this miracle of swami? He gave ashes and it turned to sugar.
If swami holds mud it will turn to gold.
Should not praise an ascetic's powers.
Swami, you've fulfilled other's wishes. My wishes are still unfulfilled.
That gold chant...
You have broken off worldly ties why do you need gold?
Here's the offering.
The wordly ties are broken but the debts relation is still not broken, swami.
These creditors are all after me like messengers of death.
There's not a minute's peace to my heart swami.
Bhajagovindam, paramanandam.
Then I will guide you. However, you must not make more than half a tola a day.
Half of it must be given to ascetics.
Will I defy my teacher's command swami?
Then come here.
Then this leaf will be available anywhere swami.
That one, the Parashulevi leaf.
With this all my bondages will be cleared. Ek Niranjan.
[in unison:] Ek Niranjan.
Swami, you didn't give me the offering.
You are a big sinner fellow.
You are getting your son remarried isn't it?
-The previous wife? -She died swami.
Ignorance. Life and death are not in your handds.
I'm aware of 3 dimensions. If you try to cheat me, you'll get cheated yourself.
"The secret inside you, me and everyone will be known"
"the world will know"
"when water is mixed in milk"
"it becomes milk & is no longer water"
"Bhajagovinda"
[whispers]I'll take care of that girl too. Don't trouble me. I'll give 3000.
Three idiots? There are greater people than them.
[whispering] Ok, I'll give 5000. Just leave me.
Five pandavas were not Gods, they were the 10 forms, did you know?
[whispering]I understood swami. I understood.
I'll give as you say, swami.
Bhajagovindam, paramanandam.
Ek niranjan.
Accept at least one, swami.
There's no permission from the teacher. For 40 days it's air diet. Ek niranjan.
If swami's hand touches it's enough. All wishes will be fulfilled.
It's enough if the air around him touches, you'll be purified.
Swami, swami, have a little mercy on me.
I'm a poor fellow. I loaned you whatever I had.
Ek niranjan. Take it along with interest.
Teacher has permitted. With today all the debtor relations are broken.
Ek niranjan.
He's giving all new notes! Hope he's not printing them.
He learnt the gold chant, so he's making lumps and lumps.
Ek niranjan.
Here brother, take your dues as well.
Why do I need this money, swami?
Have mercy & advice me too with that gold creating chant.
Teacher's permission isn't there. Don't have bad hopes. Ek niranjan.
No gold, no nothing. Go. Go away, go, go, go.
Bhajagovinda, let's go home son.
Your aunt is worrying a lot about you.
Who is aunt? Who is uncle? Who is for whom?
Ek niranjan.
How if you say that? Even if you don't need anyone, we need you right.
Look, the girl has to get married. The boy has to study.
-Son, come, come. -I won't come.
I have a mantra being adviced to be at midnight.
I know it boy. The gold chant isn't it?
You can do that at our home. If you want I'll set an alarm. Come boy, come.
Swami, swami! You said you will advice us some chants. Did you forget?
-Uncle, get a rickshaw. -Idiot rickshaw, I'll call a jatka.
I'll the back door open at night.
Threaten my uncle as I say & get only our jewels from the bureau.
Aha, I understood. I understood the philosophy.
Ek niranjan.
[clock ticking]
[alarm bell ringing]
[grunting] Ek niranjan.
[alarm bell ringing]
[door creaks]
[sniffs]
Hey! I've seen it all.
What did you see uncle? This won't work without the mantra.
I know everything boy. Don't close the door.
Uncle, it's midnight. There may be thieves, be careful.
Who's a bigger thief than you?
[screams]
If you shout I'll... Come on.
Bhajagovindam! Thieves boy.
Who's a thief? Who's a lord? It's all a magic.
It's no magic, just turn and see.
I won't turn around. It's magic.
I can't take your philosophy.
-Usha! thieves. -Hey if you shout, I'll murder you.
Where are the keys?
It's not with me, it's with my wife. Aiyyo.
Aiyyo! Ratnam! Usha!
[indistinct shouting]
Ratnam! Usha! Bhajagovindam!
Bhajagovindam, govindam, govindam!
-Sssh. -What?
They are not thieves, they are the drama folks.
Ah, huh.
Bhajagovindam, they're tying me. Bhajagovindam.
Bhajagovindam, they're tying me. Ratnam, Bhajagovindam.
Bhajagovindam, Ratnam, Rajaratnam.
-Is that all? -No sir.
-Hey. -[Crying] Bhajagovindam!
They're stealing the gold ornaments
Ek niranjan.
It's all magic.
Why should you think it's gold? Think it's fake gold.
Fake gold jewels?
Yes. What is that you don't know?
What do we know? Tell the truth.
Betraying the teacher. Betraying the teacher.
No teacher, no pumpkin.
If these are fake, where are the gold jewels. Tell us.
Hey gently. I'll get hurt.
Hey, I'm telling you. There's no right or wrong?
[trembling screams]
It's gold, real gold.
Take it and go, take it and go.. Police will come, police will come.
Go, go, go quickly.
Ek niranjan.
Enough, enough man. See that!
That's enough now. How's the stuff?
These are all fake jewels.
Not worth even Rs.10.
Nice man you are. You called me for these?
Idiots! Not you man, my idiots.
Getting fooled whichever work I send you for.
Left the gold and brought back the fake jewels.
Go moan. Cha, cha.
Take all these and throw on your faces.
No need, no need. Let it be, let it be.
Go, go. When I'm telling you to go is it not for you?
Swami! Swami! I'm ruined swami.
The jewels which the in-laws gave thieves took them away, swami.
Now what do I do? The girl will not get married.
I can't even escape jail.
Bhajagovindam, paramanandam.
Why do you worry for such a small thing you sinner?
Take refuge with my disciple, he will advice you the Taraka mantra.
I don't know swami. It's your mercy.
[crying] I'm unable to eat. My eyes aren't able to sleep.
-My heart's pounding. -Bhajagovindam, paramanandam.
Here's my offering. Take it.
"Join hand and hand together, comfortably"
"We now don't have to worry about anything"
[humming]
"Join hand and hand together, comfortably"
"We now don't have to worry about anything"
"Aha, hand and hand"
-Song? -My son, Raghu.
Son, Raghu!
"The elders permission is still not given"
"How to join hand and hand together, comfortably"
[humming]
"The elders permission is still not given"
"How to join hand and hand together, comfortably"
"Aha, hand and hand"
That sounds like a female voice.
That must not be my son. It must be the neighbour's radio.
I'll go and see.
I'll also come along.
Oh no, why the strain for you. You please sit down.
"It's not good to argue with your spouse"
"Because I can't bear to be seperated from you"
[humming]
"It's not good to argue with your spouse"
"Because I can't bear to be seperated from you"
"Aha, hand and hand"
"The impossible seperation is undesirable"
"The anger on the servant does not become you"
[humming]
"The impossible seperation is undesirable"
"The anger on the servant does not become you"
"Join hand and hand together, comfortably"
"We now don't have to worry about anything"
"Aha, hand and hand"
Ramadas, wasn't she mute?
Recently, my son operated and got her voice back.
Yes sir. Now I'm teaching her talking and singing too.
-Strong hand. -Then what did you think?
In England, my son brought back legs to those who didn't have...
...eyes to those who lost sight it seems.
Boy, Mukunda Rao has come for you.
You & Manjari go to the market and the required clothes.
All right father.
[door shuts]
Swamiji, greetings.
Bhajagovindam, paramanandam.
Sit down boy, sit down.
I believe you are the one who is going to marry my disciple.
Yes, swami. It's all your mercy. Bless me.
I won't bless you. You are a big sinner.
You are looking to marry for the second time right?
Yes. You're aware of the 3 dimensions. What is there that you don't know?
Uh, if you send your disciple away a bit, I need to talk a secret with you.
There are no secrets with swamis. Tell me.
You have a wife right?
Not one but two swami.
One is at home, the other is in England.
Now the third is your disciple.
I won't marry you even if I'm dead.
Ah, ha! who will you marry without marrying me? This ascetic?
You sinner, I'm an ascetic. You are playing games with me.
Beware. I will reveal all your secrets.
Plead for forgiveness.
As you say, swami.
Forgive me swami. How if even ascetics get so angry.
Swami, I'm in a lot of debt.
Now unless this marriage happens, those debts will not be cleared.
Please recommend to your student.
I won't. I don't help such injustices.
Go live with your wife.
I will do so.
But my brother-in-law Raja Rao has become an ascetic and roaming the country.
Please tell me where he is, my wife is crying at home.
Tell me Swami, swami, swami.
Brother-in-law, forgive me, I didn't do this for myseld.
I did it for my sister.
Forgive me, he didn't do any of this. I made him don these disguises.
Bhajagovindam, paramanandam.
I forgive all your mistakes and bless you.
May you be married soon.
Dear Usha, listen to me and somehow bring Bhajagovindam home.
-Shall bring father? -Yes dear.
White woman it seems white woman.
Did I send you to England, spending so much money, to do this
Forgive me father, it's my mistake.
You wrote to me that my wife died. Unable to think of that, I married a white woman.
Couldn't you cry? What will happen to this marriage now if she comes?
What a thing you've done?
Isn't there any way to leave her?
Why not? If I throw a lakh of rupees, she will divorce me & go away by herself.
One lakh? Where is it in this desert?
If at least this marriage happened it would've been good.
I'd have thrown any amount.
What if the marriage doesn't happen? Couldn't you ask Mr. Mukunda Rao?
Hmph, brains? What do you know of things?
Now if ask for money will he have any respect for us?
Ok, I'll look after that. You must not tell anyone about this.
[in unison:] Greetings.
Uh, did you bring it?
What more can we bring? We've already given all we have to you.
Now we've got to go to court only.
[in unison] Yes we'll have to.
Go on, go on. Go to court.
Then I don't have to give. You won't have to receive.
District court, High court, Supreme court, by the time you go around...
...you won't be there and neither will I be there.
Then the heirs will have to look after it.
Than that, the amounts that you spend for the stamps, the pleaders & court expenses,
...if you give me, once this wedding is over, I'll pay back your dues.
Think about which is more profitable for you.
What Chidambaram, what shall we do?
What shall we do?
If we remove from the leg to the neck & if we remove from the neck to the leg...
...he's linking us.
If we say no now, we'll be cheated for the initial amounts. Can't help it.
Per head we'll keep a 25,000.
What is this fate?
What is this, teacher? Like a person going for war, you've worn a shield?
People are guided by a force of time.
Whether they are kind or angry it's difficult to bear.
Whenever we're in a group, it's better to take necessary care.
-Yes, yes. -Cousin, why all this disguise still?
Father is calling, let's go home, come.
What house and household for an ascetic?
I won't come. Ek niranjan.
If you had to become an ascetic, why did you spoil all the alliances which came?
Then make me also an ascetic along with you.
Wrong, wrong. One cannot make a woman an ascetic.
Hmph, what's you giving? I'll take it myself.
"I went to Kasi, Rama hare"
"I brought back holy water from Ganga Rama hare"
"He didn't go to Kasi, Rama Hare"
"It's dirty water from the tunnel, Rama hare"
"It's water from the tunnel, Rama hare"
Don't brood over her words
She's my niece. She's trying to bind mme back to the worldly things.
"I went to Srisailam Rama hare"
"I brought Siva's vibuthi Rama hare"
"He didn't go to srisailam, Rama Hare"
"He didn't bring Siva's vibuthi Rama hare"
"It's ashes from the cooking place Rama hare"
"I don't need food, Rama hare"
"I eat air Rama hare"
"I eat only air, Rama hare"
"Along with air, Rama Hare"
"He eats vadas Rama hare"
"I went to Kailasam Rama hare"
"I saw Siva with own eyes, Rama hare"
"With my two eyes, I saw him, Rama hare"
"When he went to Kailasam Rama hare"
"Nandi kicked him and sent him away, Rama hare"
"Kicked him nicely and sent him away Rama hare"
"I don't have wife or kids Rama hare"
"I'm an aatma yogi Rama hare"
"A great aatma yogi, Rama hare"
"That is true Rama hare'
"That's why I've come Rama hare"
Ek niranjan.
Devotees, this girl has come to disturb our teacher's penance.
Send them out.
[in unison] Go out, go.
Keep calm
No unfairness. Ek niranjan.
Devotees, since there are many people here it's a disturbance for my penance.
Hence I'm going to Himalayas for my penance
Yes, now you no longer be able to meet Swami.
Hence if you wish something ask, he will grant it and then go.
Swami, my entire house is suffering from chills and fever.
You only have to cure them.
-Flu, flu. -Yes sir.
-Take this vibhuti & spray at home. -As you say.
Swami, the devil has got my wife.
Get your flask son, I'll give you the teertham.
Swami, what do I tell you of my troubles.
I lost my bets, my son failed, it doesn't look like any of my loans will get repaid.
You have to save me swami. You have to save me.
Mad fellow, why do you hold his legs. The dust from his feet will not suffice.
How many people are there in your family?
Ten people.
Then ten strands of hair.
Take 10 strands of hair from swami...
...and tie them in an ammulet f to each of your family members
Your house will be filled with gold.
Where? Swami!
Ek niranjan. Betraying the teacher. Betraying the teacher.
Did you hear? If you take more than one, then swami says it's betraying the teahcer
Hence take one by one. One by one.
[in unison:] Swami, Swami.
Ek niranjan.
[indistinct shouting]
Cousin!
Ek niranjan.
Cousin!
Ek niranjan.
Cousin! I did it without understanding. Forgive me, cousin.
Without any reason, it's become bald.
At least now come home cousin.
I'll apply some sandal at least.
Don't cry. Nothing much about hair. It will regrow.
Ek niranjan.
Huh, was that a wig?
I thought that was real and got surprised.
Ek niranjan. Come let's go.
Mr.Bhajagovindam, the young sir has given a letter. Here it is.
Ok Sanchiah, you can go.
Hey, tomorrow you need to dress like a white woman & do whatever Raghu says.
-Ok, ok. -Huh.
Come, let's go.
Ek niranjan.
Swami, swami.
Bhajagovindam, paramanandam.
Your offering bribes to ascetics.
Oh no, no, no. What a thing!
Not bribe swami. With devotion I offer at your feet.
Without your grace, I will not fall out of these troubles.
Then why this gold?
I don't have money in hand, swami.
Hmmm, Bhajagovindam...
It's not stolen treasure, is it?
Rama, Rama. What a thing to say!
It's the jewels which are in family since generations, swami.
Then, tell me of your troubles, swami.
I'll solve them.
Swami, will this wedding happen?
It will happen definetely.
I'll be there and get it done.
But don't forget my hemitage's share.
5000, sure Swami. I'll give it to you.
There are 5000 disciples in the hermitage.
Fifty thousand.
Fifty thousand? Where will I get it from, swami.
I'm already over my head in debts.
Hmmm. Just like until the body is there, you can't escape illnesses...
...until money is there you can't escape the problem of debts.
See somehow.
Where to look swami. It doesn't look like I can raise any more debt.
I'll have to only steal.
Do it. It's the duty during troubles. You can't escape.
I'm blessing you. Bhajagovindam, paramanandam.
Bhajagovindam, give us a way out of it.
Give us some idea and help your uncle boy.
Cousin, my father...jail... [crying]
[crying together]
Without listening to me, you made so many people cry.
Will you listen to me at least now?
I will. I got sense.
-Will you do what I say? -Yes I will.
-Will you disguise as what I say? -Yes I will.
Ek niranjan.
Come on in dear.
Father, this is Mrs. Rose.
This is my father.
Your father? What will he be to me?
Father-in-law, they say.
Hello, father-in-law.
How do you do?
Father-in-law, is a nice fellow.
Come on, sit down.
This house may not be suitable for you.
Why not stay in a hotel for a couple of days?
Raghu! What is father-in-law saying?
Oh he says, this house is no good...
...and asks you to put up in a hotel for a couple of days.
No, no, no,no.
This house is very nice.
Raghu, I will stay here only.
Come on, Raghu.
What is this noise?
Tell her soon about the divorce and solve the issue.
If I tell her, she'll pounce on me.
You only tell her.
I can't speak in English right!
What is divorce called?
-Divorce! -Divorce.
-Rose dear. -Yes, father-in-law.
You have to give my son, divorce.
-What! Divorce? -Yes.
You have to give my Raghu divorce and leave him.
You mean, divorce.
No, my father says it.
What father-in-law? You cheat.
My husband, divorce, divorce, divorce!
I'm dead! Ramadin!
Rascals!
Didn't you find anyone else in England?
-Get out! -Ok, ok, you come out.
-What! -No what, no nothing.
Nothing [pistol fires]
This kind of a demon you've brought upon the house.
Give here whatever and send her off.
-What father-in-law? -Wait, Rose, wait, wait.
Ask him, how much he's going to pay?
If she gives the divorce, then what about the maintenance she's asking?
For maintenance I'm giving money right?
You tell her that.
When she's talking so fast in English, you are asking me to talk instead of talking?
It's not respect for the husband to say this.
Respect! What respect for someone who's keeping knives and pistols.
Rose dear. Cash, cash. Money!
Money? Cash? How much?
How much, she's asking?
-One lakh. -No,no,no, two lakhs.
Huh, two lakhs!
Then let us tie up everything and jump into the ganga, come on.
I'm crying about where to go and how to die!
You said you'll convince her for one lakh, now why aren't you taalking?
Rose, just a minute.
Ok.
Come on father-in-law. Where is cash?
Now where is it? I'll give tomorrow.
-Convince her. -Yes Rose, tomorrow morning.
-Tomorrow morning? -Ah, ah, as you say.
Take her. She may even blast it off.
Devil in diguise.
Ek niranjan.
What is this Bhajagovindam?
You've put me in trouble by becoming an ascetic.
It's like I've lost my right shoulder.
Where did I go? Unable to bear the trouble of the creditors I disguised, that's all.
What further debts with the creditors?
Didn't you come the gold, swami?
Ah, no gold, no swami.
If he knows actually, he can tell me.
He's just a fraud ascetic.
What, what, what? Come, come here. Sit down.
-Then you too found out? -Oh, I found out, long ago.
Mukunda Rao, gave me the keys also.
That's why I became his disciple.
If we are not careful. He'll fly away with the money any time.
Where will he fly?
Tonight itself I'll send the wrestlers and get him exposed.
I need your help too for this.
Oh, I'll do anything for you. Tell me
What is to tell? Once this wedding is done Mukunda Rao's wealth is al mine right?
Definetely.
Now the 2 lakhs I require urgently. I want to take from there.
Good, I also came to say the same thing.
Ah, that's what. My need is fulfilled and the theft will be blamed on the ascetic.
This sounds good. Don't change this plan again.
I'll work like your right arm.
Then we have acheived it. [laughing]
Swami, why this effort?
Where will this money go if it's with you?
Bhajagovindam, paramanandam.
My inner mind tells me that tonight there will be some theft.
You keep this with you.
I'll keep these plain papers here, so even if there's a theft, your wealth is safe.
Stop!
Where is father-in-law?
He's asleep on the top madam.
I see. What's in this box?
Nothing. It's an empty box.
No, no,no. I don't believe. I don't believe.
I'll open the box and see.
-ah, ah, ah to see... -Shut up.
Open it, open it.
Oh father-in-law, you're a big cheat.
-Where is my cash? -I was going to bring cash.
No, no, no. I don't believe. I don't believe.
Die then, if you don't believe. I'm going to get relief from your pain.
I'll get your money by 12 'o clock.
12 o'clock? Sure? Sure?
Get out.
Hmmm.
Father-in-law, complete fraud.
-Grandfather, tea, -Uh.
Bhajagovindam informed that he will bring his uncle.
Oho, then you be in the balcony.
[knocking on door]
Open the door.
[bolt unlocks]
Ek nir...
Ah, it's you Bhajagovindam? Did you hear, they are planning a theft in our house.
Kainkaryam, Kaivalyam.
-Who is he? -Our swami's first disciple it seems.
Kainkarya swami. he came to see the teacher.
He does the gold chant well.
You must not reveal the secrets.
-Let me see the teacher. -Ah, take him, take him.
-Show him the teacher. -Please come in swami.
Please come in. Please come in
Bhajagovindam, paramanandam.
Swami, my uncle, Kainkarya swami. Greet him.
You've left the path of devotion and fallen in to the path of knowledge.
You have nothing to fear.
Forgive me swami. Without any other options I chose this path.
You must only save me Swami.
I've given you protection. There's the door to salvation.
Here's the key to the divine.
If you are too greedy, your head will burst.
Take only as much as you need.
I'm getting you to escape fate. Bhajagovindam, paramanandam.
Oh! so much money!
Did you make all the necessary arrangements?
Oh, Ramadas is coming for the theft and Raghu is going to catch him.
Poor thing. Maybe your uncle will get beat up by the wrestlers.
They won't. They'll give him one on ths head.
If not for that, my uncle will not get any sense.
-Ok, let's go. -Ah.
Did you hear Ramadas, it seems there's going to be a theft at our house.
You must stay here tonight.
Theft? Who said that?
Our swami said it himself.
Then we need to be careful.
Ramdin, did you hear? Thieves are coming it seems.
Keep that case in the ascetic's room and guard carefully from outside.
Avataram, we'll be here, you go to the terrace.
[knocking on door]
Swamiji.
[knocking on door]
Swamiji.
[knocking on door]
Swamiji.
[knocking on door]
[bolt unlocks]
You disturbed my penance when I was chanting.
Kainkaryam, Kaivalyam.
[screaming]
Ramadas, what is that moaning?
What is there? Swami must be preparing his Samaddhi.
For people going into Samadhi, first moaning and then groaning is usual.
Yes, yes, you sleep, we'll take care.
It's no matter, we'll both take care.
Ah, ha, all three will take care.
[knocking on door]
Bhajagovindam, paramanandam.
Poor thing, let's keep the box open. Else he will die of suffocation.
Ok, you go and get my clothes.
The work with this disguise is over. Now it's time to take off the disguise.
-Have they left? -Oho, yes they left.
Bhajagovindam, asked us to come there.
Collect everything. Everything is ours right.
Bhajagovindam! Ramadas!
Bhajagovindam!
Bhajagovindam, we are in a mess.
Someone has locked the door from outside. How now?
Because there will be such messes, I brought some clothes. Diguise yourself.
[knocking on door]
Swamiji.
[knocking on door]
Swamiji.
Bhajagovindam, where is Ramadas.
I left him near you right.
Maybe he's gone home. Come on.
No problem. I'm here right.
The ascetic has still not come out from Samadhi.
[bolt unlocks]
Stop.
-Who is this with the beard? -Sachidanandam, sachidanandam.
Swami, greetings, swami, greetings.
He's our swami's teacher.
-Paramanandam swami. -Greetings,swami, greetings.
No, no he's a thief. He's got caught.
No, no, that's wrong. Greet the ascetic.
No, no, no, he's a thief. How did he come here?
Sachidanandam, I travel between worlds.
What is the obstacle for me coming and going?
Yes, yes, his greatness is all in that sack.
You're a white woman. What would you know?
No, no, no,no. I won't believe. Let me take and see...
...sachidanandam, ladies must not touch.
Can touch. There is cash in that.
Ah, ah, ah.
What is this indecency?
Raghu, what is this? Send her out first.
My friend sir. She's come from England.
[whispering] Rose, you keep quiet.
Forgive me Swami. This white lady does not know your greatness.
I forgive son. You are intelligent.
I'll advice you. Come here.
[whispers] Raghu, it's me. The money is stuck in that sack.
Somehow keep her quiet.
Grandfather! Grandfather! Grandfather!
Some killed the ascetic and dumped him in the backyard.
-Ah! Killed him? -Hmm
What murder?
Sachidanandam, the atonement has happened for the sin.
I came to know that he's proclaiming as my disciple and doing robberies and thefts.
I came to punish him.
The work what I've come for is finished. Where is my sack?
Swami, how if you leave in this condition. You must come in.
Leave him. Give him his sack.
Come in, come in.
Arre, he's our ascetic's disciple. Kainkarya swami.
Swami, what is this? Who hit you?
Who else? Mr. Ramadas' wrestlers.
Sachidanandam.
He must've touched the money in the safe. He got what he deserved.
Where is the money in the safe swami? They are all waste bit of paper only.
What? You come to steal from the safe?
Who are you?
Save me, swami. Save me.
All this, this Bhajagovindam did.
I listened to him and donned this guise. I donned this disguise.
What did I do? You did everything.
You brought a fake ascetic home. He put in all waste paper & took away the money.
He's not a fake ascetic. He's a good fellow.
It was he who removed the notes & put in the waste papers.
Where is he anyway?
Where will he be? Ramadas would've gotten him beaten up too.
Yes, yes, father-in-law is a big cheat.
[groaning]
Same beating, same hand.
Same beating.
What is your noise? Who is that?
That man. That day he hit me as a landlord, today as an ascetic.
-Who is he man? -It's him.
There, there, it's him. It's him.
What man? Are you the one who disguised as King and the ascetic?
Yes sir.
Cheats like him have taken away the respect for ascetics.
Here, all are cheats. Sachidanandam.
Swami how can you leave us in this condition?
What man? Why did you wear these disguises?
What else for sir? For marriage.
Yes Swami. At least you tell my grandfather and get us married.
Have mercy and bless us both, swami.
No swami. Mr.Mukunda Rao, even if the ascetic softens, you mustn't agree.
He's donned multiple diguises to grab your money. Pure cheat.
Hmph. It's not me but your father who has cheated.
He's made my sister sit at home pretending to be mute...
...and not he's trying to make Manjari his daughter-in-law.
-Is it so? -Yes, yes, Father-in-law, big cheat.
At home, one wife, I'm two wife and now three wife he wants a marriage?
What man? You at least.
Cha, cha. Shut up.
Is this also your wife?
Then what did you think? He cut her throat.
His fatehr cut my sister's throat.
-Hey, beware before you talk of my father. -You be careful.
-You be careful.
Stop it. Stop this Krishna and Arjuna's war.
-What are you saying? -What are you saying?
-Stop it. -You wait, man.
If you talk badly, I'm not going to see my sister's face also.
-I'm not seeing your face. -I'm not seeing your face.
Swami, at least you say something. Don't just stand and watch.
There's no more listening to what anybody says.
He insulted my father.
Calm down sons, calm down.
I'm very happy about your devotion to your father.
But you shouldn't fight a strong person.
Then you get me married & you only get them to agree.
No,no,no,no. I can't I can't.
What more, you can't? I've given divource long ago to you.
Come on, where is my cash?
Mr. Mukunda Rao, from my dowry give him one lakh and her one lakh.
Go, go. I've given you both divorce. Go.
That's enough. You still want get married? And even want dowry?
I'm giving my girl to Raja. You get out.
What Get out?
I trusted your alliance and just divorced both my wives.
Nice man you are! How can you give her to him, leaving me aside?
If you will, respectable marry her to me.
Else, I will take you to court for defamation and claim 10 lakhs.
Bhajagovindam go and get Barrister Basaviah.
Sir, sir, don't do such a thing.
Mukunda Rao has lived an honorable life.
Don't drag him to court.
Swami, swami, you are great. Why court when you are here?
Somehow please convince them.
Yes Swami, get them to agree & get us married and leave swami.
Sachidanandam. Look son,, you cannot marry a girl who doesn't like you.
It is not fair to ask for 10 lakhs either.
To get rid of the white woman 1 lakh and to maintain your wife 1 lakh.
Take 2 lakhs and be satisfied.
Mr. Mukunda Rao give it.
What is this justice Swami? For the fraud his father committed, I should pay?
Yes, if this is investigated, it looks like a fraud from every side.
Without getting the ones who loved get married you wished for a King or prince.
Ramadas too left the daighter-in-law at home and wished for your money.
That's all.
Like a fox branded itself looking at a tiger...
... my uncle branded himself looking at you
Yes, boy, yes. Now I've got sense.
You only marry the girl but somehow solve the problem with Basaviah.
Ah. Come to the right way like that.
To set right the mistakes you elders did, we hd to don so many disguises.
Where is Basaviah still? He is only this Ms. Rose.
Hey Takku, remove the disguise.
Ok.
Swami, please forgive us.
What is this swami? Is everyone in disguise?
Sachidanandam! If not disguise, then am I an ascetic?
You also disguised yourself Ramadas?
Yes. We make a mistake and to set that right we make 50 mistakes.
Nevertheless, without hurting us, the youngsters have taught us a good lesson.
Come here dear.
Ek niranjan.
