GUNDAMMA KATHA
[Rooster crows]
[Grinding flour with wooden dowel]
Argh! Hey Lakshmi, is it already morning for you?
Why are you banging and making noise in the midnight?
Won't you let us sleep?
As the rooster has crowed, I thought its dawn.
You dumb face, I think even the rooster is like you.
It would have crowed being jobless. It's not even 3 am!
Leave it here and go look into cleaning.
Ok aunty.
Argh!
What about that domestic worker?
He refused to work here and left.
Did he? I thought so. Else who would work under you?
Go, make it quick!
My fate! I had to look at his face as first thing in the morning.
Hey, what are you doing dear?
Time's up, bring it quick!
Why rush? What's the urgency?
What do you know? There's no coffee without our milk.
There's no coffee hotel without coffee.
And without the hotel, there's no survival of the people here.
The sooner we supply our milk, the faster every one gets to their work.
It's not just a business, it's service to the nation in a way.
-Very funny! First look into our service. -What's that?
When is our son going to return?
Is he in another city to return if you write a letter?
He's in jail. I have checked out, he wouldn't come any sooner than 2 months.
Is it? If Gundamma's daughter gets married before he returns?
How will she? Am I not here?
I am sending back every alliance right from the doorstep.
What do we get by that? We want our son to get married to her.
If we don't let anyone come, having no other option she would choose us.
When I ask you too, to be in good terms with her, you wouldn't listen.
Huh? I would never talk to her.
I wouldn't enter her house until my son is married.
That's fine, but how much water did you mix? He's cribbing about it.
Water? Who the hell said that? I will punch on his nose.
No, not me. The hotelier is saying that.
Give the money.
The big moustache person is on the 14th Pesarattu (Mung bean dosa)...
-1 plate idly, 1 Pesarattu. -One single Pesarattu.
Here's the milk!
Aww! What's this? It's just water.
These days, our buffalo is drinking more water.
Is it? Ok, let me tell this to our proprietor.
What would you tell? You would anyhow mix water later. I did it for you
-So you don't want money? -Why?
You would anyhow spend it later, so I would do it for you.
Please, we both are good friends. Aren't we?
Yeah! That's the way!
Sankarayya, prepare a double roast Pesarattu.
Put loads of onions, chillies and ginger.
Why do you put such small one? I will prepare for myself, you leave.
Yea...Big moustache! 40 paise!
Always a torture!
Hey, what was that arrogance?
-Is this how you serve? -All I know is this.You can eat or leave!
Silk shirt and family 25 paise.
-What do you say? -Hey!
Hey what's this? It's really difficult working here.
Hey, you have to good and obedient with the customers.
My speech is speed and work too. Who are they to comment?
Hey, control yourself.
That's not in my blood, you can go and serve.
-Shall I serve? -Yeah
You are the server, ans you ask me to serve? Leave right away. Go!
Huh! Go out first!
I'll go by myself, who are you to say that?
Look, I have given one plate idly to him and 1 plate Pesarattu to the other.
Serve him ginger pickle and Sambar for the other.
[Burps] Sir, I need to buy buffalo's feed, give me Rs10 immediately.
I don't have!
Huh? You take the milk but deny the payment?
You give the milk and eat stomach-full here. You calculate, you owe me actually.
We'll look into that later. Give Rs 5 atleast.
I don't have. If you lessen your food expense, can't you buy that feed?
Very funny! You and your philosophy!
Oh! I didn't read the newspaper today.
Will you pay for it atleast?
A man dies as he comes under a train. [Laughs]
Will the train die if not the man? Is this a news?
Having consumed poison a family of 4 expired.
Very good, atleast the population is lessened.
60 die in plane crash.
Damn! Bloody news paper! Full of death news.
When wife commits suicide due to her husband's torture,
they fake it as a hunger death.
That too on the front page in bold letters.
Bloody paper! And who would buy to read this?
-Did you give coffee to Saroja? -She is sleeping aunty.
Ok, let her sleep peacefully.
Today is Friday, give her a head bath.
You please tell her, she wouldn't listen to me.
Why wouldn't she listen if you tell in the proper manner? You can't even do it.
Ok, What's for breakfast today?
-Upma (SouthIndian dish). -Yeah, ofcourse. It's easy isn't it?
Can't you prepare her favourite Vada(SouthIndian dish)?
-I will do it now aunty. -Then go, why are still here?
You left a step daughter for me, and left to heaven happily like a king.
I am struggling to get on with this house.
-Sister... -Ah!
Death and deaths! The whole news paper has nothing else.
They could have printed some good news too.
Sis, let's give an ad in the newspaper saying 'Groom Wanted' for Saroja.
What? An ad in the newspaper? To show we are desperate?
What else can I do? How many more alliances can I get?
Already I am going around all the nearby villages sis.
Until this moment I didn't know that we have such good reputation in the country.
Wherever I go, when I say it's Gundamma's alliance...
they are getting frightened and refusing the alliance.
Asking me upfront if you have killed brother-in-law by poisoning.
-Huh? My god? -Yeah sis.
There's a bad propaganda about you.
Who got such a filthy idea? Whom did I harm?
Why someone else, it's someone within the house.
You step-daughter Lakshmi...
should have gossiped with the neighbours.
Why would they keep quiet? They spread across the village.
Very true brother! She has become a headache lately.
Until she is here, my daughter wouldn't get married.
All of them are seeing her and refusing my daughter.
Find some idiot for her brother, we shall get her married.
That's not a big deal. We can do it anyway.
Think about Saroja.
You are a single lady. Where can you go and find the groom.?
So I would say you better get her married to my son.
I have told you umpteen times.
If you want to talk about your son's alliance, never step into my house again.
I can take care of my daughter's wedding.
I sent Mr Sastry to Ramabhadrayya's house to seek his son.
Oh it it? Nice alliance. My wife keeps taunting so I had to ask you.
Anyhow, what will your daughter eat at my house?
Mom... Coffee.
I shall send right away dear. Lakshmi... Hey Lakshmi...
You want Ramabhadrayya's alliance? I too will see how you would.
The girl looks much better than the photo.
She learnt a bit of English too.
Her father is not alive.
Her mother alone brought her up with utmost love and pamper.
The house runs on the mother's rules.
You need not hesitate in the matter of dowry.
Hmm. Does she have any other children?
One son and one step-daughter.
She wouldn't give anything as dowry for that girl.
All the property goes to the younger daughter only.
How much are they planning to give as dowry?
Including the cash and jewellery it would sum up around 1 Lakh.
The house and farms which are on the mother's name would go to this girl.
If you want anything else, you may ask. I will convince her.
She is very determined to make alliance with you.
But I have two sons. Whom is he seeking?
Your wish. She doesn't mind you choosing her for either of them.
Moreover, she wishes to get the son-in-law her home to stay along.
To stay with her?
Yeah. But if you don't like to send your son to stay there,
you may talk to her directly.
The girl looks good, ready to give huge dowry too.
Then why did you come this far away, haven't you got any alliance nearby?
What can I say? Gudamma has a step brother Gantayya there.
He is ruining all the alliances and sending them away.
-Why? -He wants to get girl married to his son.
So why don't they get married to him then?
Favourable for relationships and the property too.
God! He has all the bad habits.
Right now, he's in jail.
Is it? Fine. I will visit and see the girl.
Please send a letter before you arrive.
Address is written on the back side of the picture.
Gundubogula Gundamma
Gundubogula? What is Gundamma's husband's name?
Mr.Venkatramayya.
Isn't their native Durgapuram?
Yes. After his first wife's demise...
He came to stay with in-laws of his second marriage.
He isn't alive now.
Fine. I will come and meet them.
-Would you write a letter before arrival? -Yes.
Venkanna.. get me my walking stick and the shawl.
-Where's brother? -Left for the animals farm.
-Where's brother? -He just left this way.
Come brother, sit.
-What's up? -Nothing much.
-Had a cinema programme today. -That's very good.
Son!
Son... Dad is calling you both.
-Why? -Not sure.
Bro, Dad has been seeking alliances for us lately.
Its very good. Come on!
Why have you called us dad?
To talk about your weddings.
We are getting a lot of alliances offering huge dowries.
But I dislike taking dowry.
Daughter-in-law who give dowry, will come with pride and authority too.
But we don't need such ones.
We require one who can take care of the home,
and who shares our grief too along with happiness.
Sure, please seek such girls.
I called to tell you this.
Today there came an alliance from Gundubogula Venkatramayya's family.
He helped me a lot in my earlier days.
We were very poor then.
When your grandparents were hesitating to marry your mom to me,
Venkatramayya's father convinced them and got us married.
As your mom was fortunate enough, today we are in this stature.
Now, Venkatramayya is not alive.
While still his first wife was alive, they used to visit us often.
But after her demise, he left the village too.
We could never meet again.
Both his daughters are now seeking grooms.
Then, please go and visit them dad. Seeking siblings is way better.
They will stay united forever.
-What do you say bro? -Of course yes.
If they are from two different families,
they may start fighting for property and ask for separation from the first day.
I feel the same, that is why we have waited for so many days.
Fine, I will go and visit them.
[Laugh]
I told him clearly about dowry and gifts, the give and takes too.
Did they ask about my sister?
They didn't ask anything. But I told it myself.
-Did you? -Yeah. Everything about everyone.
-About me too? -Yeah!
-What did he say by the way? -He said he himself would visit us.
Aha! When does he come?
I asked to write a letter before arrival.
Do you think he writes though you asked for?
Someday he turns up suddenly and we would be in a soup.
Is this what you do for sending you?
I just told what he has told me? Let him come anytime, how does it bother you?
I'll take your leave madam.
Hey, Prabhakaram...
Where were you until this time?
My teacher's leg got fractured. So I went to visit him.
Didn't you say your teacher's leg got fractured in the last month?
It was just a sprain then, now it's a fracture.
You talk as though you know it all.
I underestimated him sis. He's getting on the track.
He lied without thinking for a while.
He will definitely prosper in life.
Would you get your sons married in this year?
Yes sister, now I came here on the same job.
In this village? Whose daughters?
-Someone named Gundamma... -Gundamma's daughters?
Whoa! There are a lot of stories about her.
I know, I came only after knowing them. Let's see... let's see.
[Humming a tune]
'A cow in Russia gives 60 ounces of milk.' Is that milk or urine?
-Namasthe Gantayya sir. -Why are you here?
Thanks to you, Ayyar has sacked me.
Please help me in finding a job.
Job? There are plenty of jobs for the one who does. Come along.
Oh come on! Are you asking me to work in this house?
-I will never do! -Hey, please please...
Leave me I say! Who will work for them? Even a stout person will go skinny.
Hey, I plead you, please work for 4 days. I will find another later.
Hey... forget about 4 days I can't stay here for another 4 minutes too. You stay!
Look! He was cribbing for work, but when I found one this is how he behaves.
-Is this Gundamma's house? -Else why would he run away?
-I don't think you belong here. -Yes.
One can make it out. Because here, there are none who do not know this house.
-Where are you from? -Veerapuram and I'm Ramabhadrayya!
Ra... Ra... Ramabhadrayya?
You said you would write a letter before visiting.
Huh... I left in a hurry.
Not really, you are a veteran. You knew sudden visit will expose everything.
But good that you came when I am here, else it would have been a trouble.
How are you related ot Gundamma?
I am her brother in relation and an unpaid clerk too.
-Your name? -Kanchu Gantayya. Kanchu is my surname.
Gantayya?
Are you finding the my weird? There's a story behind?
As my mother's children weren't surviving, they named me Gantayya.
She expired and I survived. You please come.
Sister... I brought him.
Mr. Ramabhadrayya!
Is this the girl? She is looking different from the photo?
No, she is our maid. My daughter is another girl.
Why do you stand still? Go and put the plate inside.
Ok ok. Go and get the girl.
Sure. Please make him seated, I will get her right away.
Why do you stare at the photo? He's my brother-in-law, he has expired.
-He's from Durapuram isn't it? -Yes, that's his native.
All their property is still there. My sister is his second wife.
She refused to go to in-laws as she didn't want to leave her mother.
and he didn't want to leave his hometown and come. Both of them were stubborn.
[Laugh] Please be seated.
And then?
Then my brother-in-law came along with his daughter and stayed here.
[Yawns]
Mom...
Coffee...
Argh! She is Saroja. Pampered brought up.
Our Gundamma has made the girl as such.
She's a girl isn't it? Forget about household chores...
Mom fears if she gets tired even waking up early in the morning.
She keeps taunting for alliances, and when I get them, this is the way.
After looking her like this, will any man with sound mind marry her? Damn!
So Mr.Gantayya, don't you have sons?
So you asked it now. You would, I know. Any smart person will ask that.
-I didn't know. -Ofcourse you knew it.
Mr. Ramabhadrayya you are a respectable man, how can I lie to you?
Later, you shouldn't be asking me why haven't I warned you.
I am telling the truth. I have one son.
He has a lot of self-respect.
How can he agree to marry such a girl and stay at in-laws place?
I tried to convince him, but went in vain.
So you want us to choose the alliance you didn't want.
That's my problem. Neither he gets convinced,nor she gets a better alliance.
It's all up to you. I won't tell anything at all.
Hmm. What's this mom? Do you think I am an animal at the market...
to be exhibited for all the visitors? I won't come.
Dear, this is the last time. Please listen to me, wouldn't ask you again.
Fine! Then none of you would come along. I shall go alone and talk.
-Uh... Hmm! -[Clears throat]
Look for yourself, she is a good looking girl.
Ok ok!
Please ask her something.
-What's you name? -Saroja.
Nice name. Till where have you studied?
Until my throat.
Whoa! Higher education!
We've recruited a master to teach her music on Harmonium.
-Oh! Till? -I give concerts too.
Whoa! Very good. We can run a school.
But she isn't this dark in the photo?
Remove your glasses and see.
We can't blame her. Daily someone comes to see her.
Already she is short tempered. Gets angry very quickly.
While the other girl, doesn't utter a word though you hurt or abuse her.
Yeah, she seems to be very patient.
-How much do you pay her? -Not at all!
Is she was a maid, she would have run away long ago.
-She's Gundamma's step daughter. -Oh!
Then, what about her wedding?
That isn't a big deal! No dowry, no gifts.
We think even spending on the wedding is waste.
We shall get her married to some orphan.
He shall stay here like a butler.
Don't tell me, you are thinking of seeking her to your son?
How can Gundamma let her married to such a wealthy family?
Doesn't she get jealous!
She is not feeling feel today.
I have told about her completely, sister.
Also told that we want our son-in-law to stay here.
Yes, my son isn't that capable.
So I want my son-in-law to stay here and look after our properties.
Even my husband agreed for the same and stayed here.
Yeah, I told about brother-in-law too.
Ok. I'll take your leave.
So, you liked the girl?
I should find out from my son too, I'll write a letter after talking to him.
-Bye. -Ok
So dad how was your visit? Was it fruitful?
Hmm. I'm not very sure. I don't think this works out.
Why? Didn't you like the girls?
Not really. I liked them to some extent.
-Then why are you unsure? -Come I'll explain.
Sit, sit down!
The elder one is the step daughter.
Her name is Lakshmi, looks just like Goddess Lakshmi.
She does all the household chores well and very patient too.
Hey, I think she is right one to with-stand you.
See bro, dad says I'm impatient.
Dad likes only you.
Dad, why don't we get her married to brother?
Ofcourse, but Gundamma does agree to this.
She's planning to get her married to some orphan and have him as a butler.
Then, I would go as a butler and marry her.
Can't we find a way once we like the girl?
-I will take care of that. -Ok, go ahead.
Coming to the second girl, she look good. But being a house without a man,
it's all woman's management. Mother brought her up with a lot of pampering.
But she has self respect. If we can set her right, she more than good.
It depends on the person who marries her.
If you liked her, let me know, I will set her right.
Very good. Spoke like a real man. Well said bro.
But the mother wants her son-in-law to stay with them.
The daughter also may not leave her mother and come.
If she doesn't come, we shall make her come.
I shall change her as you as want her to be.
I have that confidence in you.
You also have the endurance to achieve your goal.
So am I the one who do not have tolerance?
Ha ha... Isn't it evident?
Here's the younger one's photo.
One more thing, there stays a monster in disguise named Gantayya.
He is ruining all the alliances that come
and planning to get the younger one married to his son, who's in jail now.
We'll handle him. What say bro?
Ok.
-Ok dad? -Ok.
If you marry his daughters even my friend's soul finds peace.
Ok Dad.
[Anklets Clinging]
Mom, brother has come.
-Son, have you come to see the girl? -Yes.
Have you come alone? Where is your brother?
He came, he's gone to their house.
-Then you? -Me? I need your help.
I'm going to play a game. Do you know that girl?
Yeah ofcourse. Her brother is my classmate.
Is it? I want to see the girl once. Can you call her here?
Sure, I'll call her.
But she shouldn't know that I came to see her, ok?
-Take care of that. -Ok.
[Burps]
-Brown shorts Rs 9. -Hey... hey...
Hey? What?
-Money? -No money.
-Then how could you eat without money? -I was hungry, I ate.
Don't try to be smart. You cannot leave without paying.
Is it? Then I would sit here all day.
Will you pay or put your satchel there?
Hmm? Try taking it?
Huh?
[Blabbering in pain]
Look Gantayya, he ate and tried escaping without paying.
-Oh are you Gantayya? -Why you imbecile?
Imbecile? Be careful with your language.
What should I say then?
-Oh! -[Screams]
I mean, how can you leave without paying?
I don't have. Won't I pay, if I had? Tell me if I can do any work instead.
-What do you do? -Anything.
-Come along with me. -Where?
To my sister Gundamma's house.
Are they similar to you? Or do they have any manners?
Why not? They look after you like a groom.
-So do they get me married too? -Ofcourse, come I will make it happen.
-Come. -Let's go.
-My money? -Add to my account.
Change?
Sister... sister...
Come... Come!
-I caught hold of the butler. -Hey, talk respectfully.
Am I an animal to say that you catch holf of? I came by myself.
Look at him and his attire. I don't think he can work. Ask him to leave.
-Madam, choose your words with care. -Huh?
I may be poor by my stature, but not in my caste.
-Which community do you belong to? -What's yours?
-We are Kapu. -We are Greater Kapu.
-Huh? Greater Kapu? -Yeah!
Whatever! You have to do any work we ask you to do.
Of course yes. But that depends on the food you feed me
If you feed me of one person's I will do one person's work.
If you feed of 2, I will do the work of 2.
Huh? Hmmm!
What brother? You brought such a fool?
Hey, you better not call me a fool. I will not stay here Gundakka (sister).
Gundakka? Am I your sister?
What's wrong in calling her a sister, Gantanna (brother)?
What did you say? Gantanna?
Yes brother. I cannot call without relationship tags.
-I will leave. -Hey... hey...
Stop! stop! Call us as you like.
Lakshmi... Lakshmi...
Lakshmi, feed this fool and guide him about his work.
Ah! No hurry for the food. I just had till my throat.
Ok.
That's fine. Who is this miss?
Our house member. Lakshmi.
Our house member is it?
Good. Hey miss, You should feed me stomach-full.
Uncle, I can't open this. Please open it.
What youth are you?
What's this?
[Groans]
Ha ha. So skinny! How can you open? Give it here.
[Grins]
-[Spits] -Yuck!
Why do you get frustrated little miss?
-Hey? -Yeah
You better don't call me little miss. Who the hell is he mom?
Hey little miss, you too be careful.
I didn't spare you mom either when she spoke disrespectfully.
Our butler Saroja. I brought him.
Butlers shouldn't be given lenience.
What do you give little miss? I take it myself.
Once I joined, there's no you and me, we all are one now.
Here, take it boy.
Boy, if you have any other bottles, please bring them I can open.
Very great! First go and be on your job.
Yeah of course, Gundakka.
-Mom... -Yes dear...
-I'm going along with brother to shopping. -Ok.
-I shall buy some sarees for sister. -Ok. Huh? Sarees for sister? Hey...
Hey miss, let me know if there's any work, I'll do.
Nothing for the day. I've done everything.
Huh? You are working and say there's nothing?
Get up, I'll grind it.
No thanks! This is a woman's job.
Huh? There's no gender for job.
As woman are getting tired, these jobs are done my men these days.
Don't you know? Oh come on!
You seem to be more outdated than me!
Get up miss, get up!
Ah! come on!
[Groans]
Oh come on, my boy!
[Stone rolling sound]
Am I grinding properly miss?
Huh? Why are you smiling miss? I can even cook.
My dad was a philosopher.
He always said if you know all the chores, your wives would be very happy.
I think you are unaware, now women are competing with men.
"Awakened! The women have awakened!"
"Men's world is shaken."
"The women have awakened"
"Mr.Vemana has said it long ago..."
"Mr.Bramham has also told then..."
"Mr.Vemana has said it long ago, Mr.Bramham has also told then..."
"I tell you now, please listen miss..."
"I tell you now, please listen miss, this Vissanna's philosophy too."
"Awakened! The women have awakened!"
"In the local governments of the villages..."
"In the employments of the cities..."
"In the local governments of the villages, in the employments of the cities"
"In every other field..."
"In every other field they have surpassed men"
"Increased the number of unemployed"
"Awakened! The women have awakened!"
"For acquiring seats in the assembly..."
"They competed with their husbands"
"For acquiring seats in the assembly, they competed with their husbands."
"They acquired seat in Delhi Assembly..."
"They acquired seat in Delhi Assembly, and gave a lot of lectures."
"and brought the divorce law"
"Awakened! The women have awakened!"
"Men's world is shaken."
"Awakened! The women have awakened!"
Padma... Did you call them?
Yes.They will come.
Here they are!
-Saroja... -Hello Padma!
Saroja, look... hows this?
Yuck! It's awful.
-Did you select it? -No, my brother.
I already told, I am not good at saree selection.
Why are you staring at her?
Ah, nothing. I think I saw her somewhere.
Yeah, they are seeking alliances for her marriage.
You should have seen her photo somewhere. What say Prabhakar?
-Yeah, could be. -Come on. Keep quiet!
We haven't sent photos to anyone.
-Please pack these two sarees. -Ok madam.
Here, you take these two.
They look very good.
Pack these!
[Clears throat]
-Here, madam. -Keep it, I'll take later.
-Why? -I forgot to bring money.
I will pay, you can give me later.
No, it's ok.
It's ok Saroja, take it.
Please take it, yes.
-Thank you -No mention.
-[Groans] -Hey, why do you drop it here?
Hey Gundakka, let me make it clear...
I don't accept Gantanna's domination.
He is addressing me disrespectfully in public.
-That's ok, keep this bag inside. -No I won't.
-Why? -I told you, I'll work as you feed.
Feeding me half the stomach, and making me do the work of 5.
Moreover, this miss hands and Gantanna's domination.
Why only half the stomach? You are having three quarter meals a day.
Huh? What meal is that? Miss serves only little.
I won't stay here Gundakka.
I'm determined to get married now.
-I'll go! -Huh?
Hey... you!
-Hey... you want to get married? -Yeah.
Else how many days do you want me stay single?
Hey, Anji if you leave, who does the work at home?
I will feed you stomach-full. Please stay back.
I don't want any food, I want marriage.
-Why do need marriage? -Why did you get married?
-Losing my mind! -Think, I am doing for the same reason.
I thought I may get my mind back, by getting married.
Hey Gundakka, will you get me married or not?
I will stay if you say yes, else I'll leave.
Hey... hey...
Hey, please wait... please wait.
I plead you.. I plead you.
Where else can I search for another worker?
Hey Gundakka, will you get me married then?
Sure I will. Brother, please find a girl for him.
Who will give him a girl?
Why? Am I as stupid as you are?
When they could give you, why can't they give me?
Hey Gundakka, if you get me married, I will take you to Tirupathi by palanquin.
Why do you need a palanquin to Tirupathi? We have buses.
One cannot attain salvation if gone by bus.
-Hey Gundakka, will you get me married? -Yeah.
-Really? -Yes!
Whoa! whoa!
Little miss, Gundakka has promised me that she would get me married.
Hey, I told you umpteen times not to call me little miss.
[Sighs]
See Gundakka, little miss is always angry with me.
Boy is very good.
Boy, can you give me your old coat for my wedding?
-Of course! -Come boy!
Hey... why do you need a coat?
Hey Gantanna... Earlier you asked why I need a marriage and now a coat.
You would anyway not give anything, why do you stop others too?
If we both wear a coat, how do we go outside together?
Then you remove yours!
You do butler's job, why do you need a coat?
You carry milk cans, why do you need a coat?
Come boy!
Mom, I did a mistake today.
What's that?
I forget to carry cash.
Then how did you buy those?
We met brother's friend there, he paid for them.
Oh ok. Give their money back tomorrow.
Hey little miss, how's it?
Just like your face!
My face? It's glowing like a full moon.
Hey little miss, you reduce your onion intake. It lessens your anger.
Mom, look at him!
He's just a fool, ignore him dear.
Hey Gantanna, come we'll go to the market.
I won't come with you! Get lost!
You now feel awkward to come along with me?
-Damn! -Your old coat is good too.
[Laughs]
Gantanna is just hollow.. just hollow!
How would I go home now?
Hey Gundakka, give him your towel, he will go wrapping it around.
Why do you laugh with him sister?
What's that? Why are coming wrapping it around like a widow?
Hey.. nothing! Just nothing!
-What are you hiding? -Noting.
Turn around! just turn.
Argh! Have you torn your coat?
Whom do you think will stitch it now?
I will stitch it myself. That's ok. But how did it tear?
I scratched feeling itchy and it tore. Yeah, really. See!
Miss... hey miss...
I'm feeling hungry. Bring the food.
Enough... Enough! Ah... ah!
Aha! When I said that you aren't feeding me properly in a casual way
I think you got angry miss.
No, why would I get angry?
Yeah, I know you wouldn't get angry.
Fine, did you give me everything or you kept some for you?
-I have it. -You have? Get it, let me see.
I have it, you eat.
Hey miss, you are lying to me.
Hey, look at me...
Ah... Ah aha!
I can make it from your face.
-I don't want. -How can you work if you starve?
-Enough! -Ok.
Ok, you call Gundakka 'aunt', Where is your mother?
-She expired. -Alas!
My mom too!
I have my dad, when I ask him to get me married he said...
'You are like a donkey, why should someone get you married...'
'You yourself find a nice girl and get hooked'.
How about your father?
[Sobbing]
Calm down miss. I asked in ignorance.
You are a nice girl, you will get a good husband.
Come, have your food.
I don't want, you have it.
Don't want? I too don't want it then.
Ok, come, let's eat.
Hmm. You sit first.
Ha... start!
It's ok. Have it!
Padma...
If Saroja comes, tell her that I have a bad headache and send her upstairs.
Ok.
Padma...
Padma, where's your brother?
He said he has a headache, and slept upstairs.
Here, this your brother's money.
Very funny. He gave you, and you took it.
Why should I interfere now? You go and give it yourself.
Ah? Brother, you please come.
Why do you need him? No one will kidnap you.
Give this pain relief balm to my brother.
Come on, go!
[Laugh]
[Groans]
Oh my God!
-I brought the money. -Keep it there and leave.
[Groans] Oh my God!
I am Saroja, I brought the balm.
You? How long has it been since you came?
Just now! Apply the balm.
Nah! I didn't have any headache. Padma asked to come for shopping, so I lied.
Not really.
-Which side is it aching? -Neither of both sides.
Then I shall apply on both the sides.
[Sighs]
Enough! The pain is gone!
Hmm. You're lying.
How can it go so soon? Wait!
Argh! I feel the burning sensation more than the pain.
"I could hear a melody in the silent song sung by your heart"
"I could grasp the subtle expression of love in your eyes."
"I thought your heart is mine."
"I could hear a melody in the silent song sung by your heart"
"It rained honey from the tender lips that hardly moved"
"I was mesmirised experiencing the nectar flow."
"I could hear a melody in the silent song sung by your heart"
"I was amused at your blushing smile and learnt that you accepted me."
"I was frightened at the forceful throw of your braid thinking it a love lasso."
"I could hear a melody in the silent song sung by your heart"
"I could grasp the subtle expression of love in your eyes."
"I thought your heart is mine."
"I could hear a melody in the silent song sung by your heart"
What are you searching for?
Huh? I forgot my bag.
[Clears throat]
-Why did you come again? -I forgot my bag.
[Smiles] You are so forgetful!
You forgot money the other day, and the bag today.
You will forget yourself one day!
What I said is not true?
Ah! Here's your money.
Why? You have already cleared your due.
-When? -Now.
How about your service?
Does applying a bit of balm clear the due?
Of course it doesn't.
Can't you owe me a little?
[Laughs]
[Clears throat]
What's up little miss? You seem to be lost like Sankuntala.
-Did you meet your mister? -Yeah.[Subconsciously]
-Ah! -Huh?
Hey... I get angry if you say such things.
I know, you wouldn't get angry anymore.
Hey, I need to get a letter written to my father.
Give me a paper and pen.
Miss, here, write a letter.
-To whom? -Me!
-To you? -I meant to my father.
-Ah! write. -Ok.
-Oh father! -Not in that way...
You should address saying 'Dear father'.
Oh! Ok then write the same.
-Ah, I got a job in Gundakka's house here. -Hmm.
-Did you write? -Yes.
-They feed me stomach-full. -Hmm.
-They are giving me clothes to wear. -Hmm.
They are also telling that they would get me married.
[Laughs]
Why do you laugh when I say marriage?
Come on, write.
Most important thing.
Here, there's a miss here, who's a nice girl.
Why do you want to write about me?
Why do you bother? Just write it I say.
Write, come on.
Miss has something towards me.
Something means something.
Hmm.
She feeds me tummy full.
Looks after me.
Why someone else? So...
I am planning to ask Gundakka to get me married to this miss.
Hey, isn't it wrong?
What's wrong? Seeking a girl for wedding?
Don't you need my will?
I know your will miss.
Come on write.
I won't write.
-Don't you write? -No.
-No? -No.
Big deal!
"With the gentle blow of"
"the cool breeze..."
"I get dreams even if I just close my eyes."
"On the mattress of the bright moonlight..."
"I see wonders in those dreams."
"With the gentle blow of the cool breeze,"
"I get dreams even if I just close my eyes."
"On the mattress of the bright moonlight..."
"I see wonders in those dreams."
"If I think of them..."
"I feel shy."
"I find you when I open my eyes"
"I find you even when I close my eyes"
"I find you when I open my eyes"
"I heard the sound of someone budging my heart asleep."
"When I opened my eyes being disturbed..."
"It was you in the pupil of my eyes..."
"Wherever I see"
"I find you."
"I find you when I open my eyes"
"I find you even when I close my eyes"
"I find you when I open my eyes"
"I heard some soft calls in my awakened heart."
"When I searched around being startled..."
"You were in my heart."
"I find you when I open my eyes"
"When I close my eyes..."
"I find just you"
Sister-in-law... Hey Sister-in-law...
[Sighs] Thank God!
Brother, am I not the daughter of this family?
You anyhow don't invite me for festivals and occasions.
And when I come shamelessly, is this how you treat me?
Sister-in-law... Didn't I write to you that I'm visiting you?
You could have sent your car to the railway station?
Argh! I got severe body pains due to the cart.
Take this. Arrange for some hot water, I need to bathe.
Have you started already?
Why? Don't I have that freedom in my mom's house?
True, it's gone along with Dad.
Don't you know how things were when dad was alive?
What can you do?
It's all female domination at home.
Brother, what did you think about Padma's wedding?
I haven't yet thought anything.
My brother-in-law has sent me to talk.
He has only one son. The boy is very good.
Even its favourable property wise, also they be in my proximity.
What do you say brother?
When we got you married into their family, this is your grandeur.
Why do you want to give her too?
Very funny. You better not talk about my fate.
Oh! When did aunt drop by?
I came just now by Janata express. (Train name)
-Came by Gandhiji's train? -Yeah!
-Did you buy the ticket? -Brother have you heard it...
As you are an aunt, she's just teasing you.
[Laughs]
Padma... Your aunt has brought you an alliance.
-Where is it? -Don't open that.
-Then what did you get? -I brought you a match girl!
You need not get anything. I found one myself.
Where and who?
Do you see these? She stole from somewhere.
Keep our things at home safe and secure.
What will she do with these?
Just like a crow, picks up anything she finds.
Come, why are scared?
Brother, some Gundamma's son
Padma says she will get married to him only.
What? Gundamma's son?
Have you lost your mind?
Does that shrew, let you stay happy there?
If my husband listens to my words, what can she do?
He is a nice man.
However she is doesn't matter, I shall set her right.
I am not an uneducated country girl.
To jump into the well or to pull the noose being scared ot mother in law.
Well said, I will also stay along with you.
[Sighs] I too will witness what a shrew is she.
Say yes brother, she is talking so confidently.
-What say Sister-in-law? -Ok.
If she is that confident, let's take it ahead.
[Classical dance music]
[Classical dance music continues]
[Folk dance music]
[Folk dance music continues]
Gundakka, Gantanna is coming carrying something.
Sister.. sister...
What's it brother? Someone came to Gopalam's house.
-Our Saroja is roaming around with him. -Oh my God!
Come on Gantanna! You always say complaints.
Our boy is along with her, nothing to worry.
How can unmarried girls roam like that?
Very funny! Will the husband let her go once she's married?
You and take rest Gundakka, they will come.
There they come.
Saroja come here!
Where did you go? I went to cinema.
Stop it! Are you trying to lie to me?
Are you roaming with some boy?
Who told you?
Who else? Isn't there's a jobless man here? Gantanna.
Hey!
So what? I went to give back the money? Is that wrong?
Ofcourse why not!
You are an unmarried girl. Who will marry you, if you go around like this?
Why someone else Gundakka? Find out if little miss liked that mister.
Stop your advices! I arranged a good match.
Father-in-law has also visited and saw the girl.
Is it? I hardly knew this.
Hey little miss, then this is wrong.
If mom has arranged for one, and you find another...
What can we do with both of them?
Whatever it is, you shouldn't step out of the house.
Enough! What authority have you got on me?
It's his authority from now on.
You shouldn't step out of the house.
-Hey Anji... -Yeah...
Be careful, break her legs is she steps out.
-Yeah! -[Sighs]
-Are the letters are from our boys? -Yeah, it's them.
Both of them wrote separately.
Anji says they also said that they get him married.
'Dear Dad, greeting from Raja'
'I met Gundamma's daughter. She's a nice girl.'
'Though the mother has pampered, she is bringing her up with discipline.'
'As she learnt that the girl is being with me lately...'
'She made sure that the girl doesn't step out of the house.'
'I'm going to their house tomorrow.'
'I will visit them and then write to you. Bye, Raja'
[Laugh]. They are very determined.
[Whistles]
[Communicates with whistles]
[Communication with whistles continues]
Miss, hey miss...
Miss, someone has come for you.
-Who are you? -I'm son of Mr.Ramabhadrayya
Is it? He came to see Saroja.
Oh! Is that the matter?
You came to see little miss.
My aunty has gone out, she will be back now.
I'll get some coffee for you!
[Communicate with whistles]
Little miss... Little miss...
Some mister came for you.
-Raja... -Hey little miss, you can't step out!
-Huh? -Hmm!
-Anji aren't you a nice man? -Hmm
-Please let me know. -No, not possible.
Huh? Anji I plead you, please listen to me.
Hmm. Ok then you don't go out, send him upstairs.
-Hmm. -Go mister. Go.
-Where is he? -Brother? I sent him to little miss.
-Brother? -I just called by relation.
-I'll go and give coffee. -Yeah.
[Groans]
Miss... miss...
Very funny! They are busy romancing, why do you disturb them?
Wait, we too shall chat!
We'll sing.
"What a pair my lord!"
"Both the girls make a nice pair"
"What a pair my lord!"
"Both the girls make a nice pair"
"What a grace it is my lord!"
"The girls are in their youth now."
"What a grace it is my lord!"
"The girls are in their youth now."
"Should find a match for these cute girls."
"What a pair my lord!"
"She's a child"
"Younger one is a beautiful and a pampered child"
"She's a child"
"Younger one is beautiful and a pampered child"
"Elder one is timid."
"She acts like a parrot."
"Elder one is timid."
"She acts like a parrot."
'If this timid, talks it pours pearls.'
"What a pair my lord!"
"Both the girls make a nice pair"
"Little miss is short tempered."
"But is kind hearted"
"Little miss is short tempered."
"But is kind hearted"
"Miss is like the light of the house."
"Worries are gone, with just a glance at her"
"Miss is like the light of the house."
"Worries are gone, with just a glance at her"
"Is she's along, she will not let anything fall short"
"What a pair my lord!"
"Both the girls make a nice pair"
Hey Anji? What are those songs upstairs?
Nothing much Gundakka. A mister came to see little miss a while ago...
He asked me to call her. I said that's not possible...
I said 'You go if you want to.'
You dumb! Is that why we asked you sit here?
Wait, I will bring him back.
Wait Gantanna! Why do you go and disturb them?
They are chit-chatting.
Chit-chat with a stranger?
Stay calm Gundakka! Don't I even have that sense?
Miss told me that he's would be son-in-law.
Son-in-law? Who's that?
I mean... who's that? Ra... Ra... Ramabhadrayya's son.
-Huh? Really? -Yeah!
Gundakka, mister is looking handsome, and charming.
Saroja... Saroja...
Hey, Gundakka... how does he look?
Great!
-We're in deep trouble sis. -Huh?
The one at Gopalam's house. He is the one, our girl is going around with.
Huh?
-Hey, its that true? -Yes.
Hmm.
Hey man, do you have any sense?
How dare you get into my house with a fake name?
Hey, be careful while talking. I didn't use any fake name.
You call us to visit, and is this how you treat?
Good that we didn't finalise this stupid alliance.
How clever! You talk rude even after doing wrong.
Why don't you react Anji? Knock him down.
Ah! You please wait Gundakka, I'll sort out.
Mister, please come here.
-Hmm. -[Sighs]
Sit down! Ah! Now tell me.
Who are you? Where are you from? Why did you come?
-Didn't I tell already? -You did, I heard too.
It's ok, speak out the truth.
-What I told earlier was true. -Huh? What's the evidence?
Look mister, if you prove your identity. We shall get you married to her.
Else, I'll smash you!
But, who are you to question me?
Hey, you already forgot me? You didn't ask me this when I sent you upstairs.
-That was different. -Ah! you can't act smart with me.
Prove your identity!
What do you want me to prove? Here's the girl's photo you sent us.
Hey, it's true Gundakka, he came to see the girl.
Please forgive Raja, my mom was hasty.
True son, I was rude in ignorance. Please don't mind.
If I was hasty, atleast you could have told me brother.
Isn't he the one who actually mislead us, Gundakka?
We'll fix the date on an auspicious day.
Wait! I need to write to my dad and find out.
You write to him, we shall start our preparations.
Little miss, take care of your mister.
He would again put some condition.
Come mister!
Brother, start the wedding preparations.
Ah! You found none other than Gantanna for that Gundakka?
I'll take care of all those!
By the way, having an unmarried elder sister in the house...
...how do you perform little miss wedding?
True brother! Find a match for Lakshmi too.
What did you just say 'Find a match'? Your eyes are clouded.
Why do search somewhere else when you have a good match right at home?
Who is at home?
Can't you see me roaming around?
You? Should we get Lakshmi married to you?
Why not? Can you get another as good as me?
Gundakka, you promised that you would get me married.
Instead of finding a man for miss, and a girl for me...
Why don't you get us both married? We would stay here happily forever.
-Isn't that a great idea brother? -He wouldn't obey us anymore then.
As though I am obeying now?
Hey Gantanna! You would neither help me, not let others.
If I lose my calm, I will knock you down.
-Come on! Stop kidding. -Who is kidding? I will really knock you.
Fine!
-What say Gundakka? Ok? -Ok
-[Laughs] -[Groans]
Hey, heard that they finalised an alliance for Gundamma's daughter.
-Who told you? -They came saw the girl, and fixed it too.
-You fool! How will I let it happen? -Ah?
I wrote a letter to Ramabhadrayya as an anonymous.
This wedding will stop with that.
Anji is getting married Venkanna.
Is it? How about the younger son?
I have his letter too.
'Dear dad, greetings.'
'They are requesting to marry their daughter.'
'Asking me to stay with them post marriage.'
'I said only with my dad's consent.'
'You write them back bluntly, stating that you don't like it.'
'If they still want me to, I will marry her. Bye Raja.'
'Greetings to Mr Ramabhadrayya,'
'You are digging your own grave.'
'Finalising Gundamma's alliance is similar to complicating your life.'
'She drugged and killed her husband.'
'Daughter seems to be much cleverer than her mom.'
'Be careful, the rest is your wish.'
'Your well wisher, Anonymous.'
Who is this sir?
There is a person called Gantayya there. it could be his idea.
[Wedding percussions]
Sis, I performed their wedding in a grand manner in temple.
Total expenditure was Rs 3.75 ps.
Though it was a wedding in the temple, it could have been better.
Gantanna performed it merely as wedding.
Give me a rupee, we shall go out in rickshaw in the evening.
Argh! From today your poverty is gone!
You got a golden wife.
When did I have poverty even earlier too? You have a poor face!
Post!
Gantanna read the letter aloud.
From where has it come brother?
From Ramabhadrayya.
Read it brother!
'To respected Gundamma'
'From Ramabhadrayya'
'I visited you and learnt about you all.'
'I also heard about your fame in the village,'
Ha ha... Very good, continue reading.
'You don't deserve to get related to people like us.'
Huh?
'We don't want our son get married to your daughter.'
'Just in case, if you trick my son get him married to your daughter,'
'He wouldn't be allowed into my house.'
'I request you to note that I wouldn't give him a single penny of my property.'
'Bye, Ramabhadrayya.'
Oh my God! How disgraceful!
Sis, this happened to our good.
What good? We are in trouble.
No trouble Gundakka, we shall talk to the boy and get them married.
Why would we give our girl to him after all this?
They bashed us and gave no respect at all.
Even if they plead us, we are not giving our girl to them.
Doesn't our girl get married at all? I'll find much better alliance you see.
You once again proved your are so mean.
If there is any clash, you should try to convince but not separate them.
When the boy himself agreed to the wedding, how does father's opinion matter?
He is telling that he wouldn't let his son inside his house.
So he would stay here. Even we want the same.
Gundakka... Why do you worry?
Isn't it good to see both right here staying with you?
Tell me something...
If little miss, leaves to her in-laws house,
doesn't Gundakka get depressed very soon.
Instead of happily get them married and make them stay here,
Why do you all worry for that?
I already told that I want him to stay with us, I'm not worried about it.
Does he agree to get married if his father has refused to?
Little miss would take care about this, why do we bother?
If he really wanted to get married, would he keep quiet if elders don't approve?
Wait Gundakka, I shall bring him here.
Why mister, you look very dull?
Did you too receive the letter? We too received one.
These elders always have this problem.
First this is how they respond, later they get convinced.
How much time can your father stay away from you?
You stay here happily. Sit Down.
Gundakka, why don't you say anything?
Why not? Don't we take good care of him, if he wishes to stay?
-What else mister? -Staying here is always looked down.
Huh? Who can look down on you here?
I am here anyhow. If anyone utters a word, don't I punch on their face?
Will anyone comment in our presence?
Let any dog like you bark at our back. How does it matter?
-Hey, am I a dog? -I just was kidding.
How can you be compared to a dog?
Dog has loyalty. But you don't have that illness.
Hey! Sis, I don't like this match at all.
Who cares about your likes?
Why are your words crossing the limits?
Be glad that I am stopping there.
Then do whatever you wish, I'm leaving!
Wait... wait!
Who will do the laborious work in the wedding, if you go away?
Gundakka, why don't you say something? He is unsure.
Why unsure? This is your house. You can stay here like a king.
Hey, mister! Why do you still think? Say yes!
Ok, if you insist...
Yeah! That's the way!
We thought he was a fool, but he turned to be tenacious.
When there are idiots around, why wouldn't my smartness stand out of it?
Ah! Start the wedding preparations.
Hey Gantanna, don't you do dare to do it like my name-sake wedding.
I'll bang you. Brother's wedding should be carried out in a grand manner.
Ha! Come brother!
[Wedding chantings]
[Wedding Percussion]
Saroja was so determined!
She convinced him to stay here leaving his dad and property behind.
They told that her horoscope was great when she was born.
Everyone has their fate written.
-Bye! -Ok, bye! Thanks for coming.
[Door closed]
[Laugh]
[Humming a tune]
"So pleasant!"
"The night is so pleasant and so sweet is this pleasure!"
"While we are intoxicated by the moon's light"
"While the moon is sprinkling perfumed water"

"So pleasant!"
"While the looks are shooting cupid arrows at each other..."

"With the waves of sweet feelings, we are drifted."
"So pleasant!"
"The night is so pleasant and so sweet is this pleasure!"
"While the moon is sprinkling intoxicating drug."
"So pleasant!"
"... the night is!"
-Saroja... -Hmm.
Do you remember what I said that day?
-That you will forget yourself one day... -Ah!
But I can never forget this day in my life.
But, I feel our first meeting is more cherished.
You attracted me at the first sight.
That day, I decided that I can give up anything to marry you.
That's my destiny.
Else would you agree to leave your dad and property to stay here with us?
Not just my property,
even if I was made the king of the world, I wouldn't forgo you.
True Saroja, I cannot stay a moment without seeing you.
Ah, Saroja, there's a cigarette in my coat's pocket. Could you please bring it?
This is my money. 'You've married a thief'
Saroja...
-Saroja, give me the cigarettes... -They are not there.
No? Did you check in the coats pockets?
Oh!
Oops! They are in my pocket. I forgot!
Saroja... Saroja... I'm calling you, Saroja...
Why do you look tired, are you not well?
-I'm feeling giddy. -Argh! You would feel giddy now.
Over happiness disturbs health.
Come... come!
Sleep now! You should feel better by morning.
It's very late, go and sleep dear.
You are so patient!
Not sure who is so lucky to have you as a daughter-in-law.
You are a nice person too, you too would get a nice daughter-in-law.
Hey... Get it here!
Don't feel shy. Have it, have it completely.
This is a wedding feast. Please order whatever you want.
-Hey Anji... -Yeah!
-Do you have the money? -Money can be paid anyway.
Argh! Hold on! I asked to make it a parcel.
I will get it parceled. You have it.
Yeah! One Vada (Dish name)
Here's the Pesarattu parcel.
-How much? -Rs 17.
Here take it.
What's special Gantayya? He's spending a lot today?
Do you know who is he? Anjaneya Prasad, elder son-in-law of Gudamma.
He can now buy-out your hotel too.
Hey Gantanna, pick up the parcel.
What? Should I bring the parcel?
Why not? Wo do you think I am? Anjaneya Prasad.
I will kick you, is you utter a word again.
-Take it! -Why are you becoming so rude?
Hmm. Come!
Bye aunty. Please tell Saroja that I have left.
Ok dear. Keep visiting often.
Hey Gundakka, how are you letting the girl go away?
Get her married to our boy!
You are very funny!
Don't you have anything else other than wedding on mind when you see a girl?
We don't want educates girls at all.
How does it bother you if the girl is educated?
You don't know! Educated girls aren't obedient.
Whoa! Which food you ate gave you this wisdom?
Ha ha! Why does one need wisdom for this? Can't you make it out?
My neighbour Govindayya's daughter-in-law...
She's a BA graduate and disobedient.
My village head's daughter-in-law was an uneducated fool.
She beat her husband and her in-laws black and blue. What do you say now?
Argh! You always argue stubbornly.
Gundakka, say something. If you follow his advise, you will lose.
Tell me something...
You want little miss and her mister to stay here...
Will any outsider allow this as a daughter-in-law?
She's a good friend of little miss, and cousin of our mister...
They get along very well.
Isn't it brother? Padma seems to be a nice girl, though she's educated.
We'll seek their match. Please go and talk to them brother.
You found none other than Gantanna for it?
Hey, you don't value me at all?
Nah! I can't believe you, I too will come along.
-What say Gundakka? -Ok. You perform this wedding too.
Yeah! Gundakka now trusts me!
-Hey, why do you keep hitting me? -Nothing... Just like that!
Have some coffee son!
Bro... send a telegram to father that I am starting immediately.
Won't you stay for Padma's wedding son?
How can I aunt? All the work at home is as it is where it was left.
I need to leave immediately, brother will stay here.
If I can, I would definitely come.

No way! You have to give Rs50,000 dowry in cash.
How I arrange in cash now? I shall give later.
Aah! Not at all! Else we shall not go ahead with your alliance.
Huh? Gantanna seems to be creating some nuisance again?
What's up uncle?
Uncle? Hey, how can you call him uncle without respect?
If he doesn't mind, why do you? Calm down!
What's the matter uncle?
-He's asking for Rs50,000 in cash. -Rs50,000?
Hey, Gantanna who gave the right to ask?
We don't want a penny as dowry. Go ahead!
Without dowry?
Why are so dumb Gantanna?
When she is the only daughter, isn't the whole property our boy's?
Ok, ask them to transfer the whole property on his name right now.
Ah, and then? You want the parents to go bankrupted?
Hey! It's not you who is stupid, it's the one who sent you.
Hey uncle! The match is final. Fix the date for the wedding.
Whatever! My sis will never approve this alliance.
Won't she? Then why am I here?
Why? For having three quarter meal!
-Hey leave me! -Come Gantanna!
Anji, come here.
Look, you better not ask him anything. He may get angry. Keep calm.
How can I stay calm?
How do we keep calm if he wanders around and doesn't come home at time?
Let brother come, I will talk to him.
You go inside Gundakka. Let me handle it.
-Hey! -Hmm.
Hey bro... Where have been to until this late?
Where have I been to? I am right here.
Ah... Yuck!
[Laughs]
What's this foul smell? Are you drunk?
Me? No way! I swear on God, I am not drunk.
Hey, don't act smart with me.
Have you ever thought about little miss, while you roam like this?
-What's up with her? She'll stay here. -Hey!
You cannot go upstairs.
-Can't I? -No.
Ok, I'll stay here.
Hey... [Groans]
-Brother! -Ha?
[Groans]
Hey Gundakka... Gundakka...
Hey! Argh! [Groans]
Hey... Do you know who am I?
Why don't I know? You are my brother.
I haven't lost my sense my dear brother!
Argh! Argh!
-What's this Anji? -You keep quiet Gundakka!
Bro is going off-track, I need to correct him.
-Hey... Will you hit me? -Yeah!
Hit me! I am a rowdy.
Ah! I have seen plenty enough!
Stop it now! You are misusing your lenience
When I got you married to our girl to do the work, you try to dominate?
Did you hear that? They gave their girl to you for you to do the work.
-That's it. -Argh! Be careful son.
Aunty, Bro... I am the most loved son-in-law of Gundamma!
If you abuse me, you may not get your food too.
Ha! That's not possible.
I'm not that stupid.
Gundakka, I told you earlier too. I mean to you as much he does.
Oh shut up! How can you be at par with my son-in-law?
Correct!
Where do I fall short? I am your elder daughter's husband.
-Very correct brother. -Argh!
Hey, will stop drinking or not?
Why brother? Have you got angry?
Very true! You are elder to me...
Yes, it's wrong to have it single without taking you.
You too come along if you wish to. We'll both go together and drink.
-What's that? -You move aside Gundakka!
-Hey... hey... stop! -You keep quiet Gundakka!
Brother will get ruined completely if you spare.
Stop it! You need not help us in anyway!
You need not stay here either, leave immediately.
What? Do you think I am desperate?
I'll leave right now if you ask me to.
Brother! Please don't go. They may send me too tomorrow.
No one will send you, please come!
Brother, bye!
Miss... Hey miss!
Gundakka is asking to leave. Let's go!
-Why her? -Why? Doesn't my wife come along?
-No way! -Aha? Is it miss?
Who cares about her wish? I am telling you she will not come. You leave.
Ok. I'm leaving.
-Dear... -Where do you go?
-Aunty... -What? You can't go!
Aunty, I shall be along with him.
But where is that you would go?
Wherever he goes to, I too shall go.
That's the way. You don't even have the sense miss has.
What's the use of getting old! You come miss.
Go, go away! You will learn a lesson for sure.
You would come back to me sobbing one day.
Very funny!
Let's see who comes to whom.
Dear... please no!
Saru.. let me have some more.
-Dear! -Saru...
Argh, what is this?
Please come inside.
Dear...
-Dear... -Hmm...
Can you quit this bad habit for my sake?
What can I do Saru?
I thought I would alteast quit it after our wedding.
But it's not happening. You tell me, what do I do?
I kept it safe as a memory of our first meeting.
Saru... Do you love me now? [Sighs]
True! I am a thief who stole wife's jewellery.
and a drunkard too... Which wife would love such a husband?
Saru, this is not your fault.
It's all my fault.
I loved you the moment I saw you photo.
I lied as you wouldn't marry me if you know the truth.
I played a game as Ramabhadrayya's son.
So, he's not Ramabhadrayya's son.
-Mom... -What dear?
Mom... [Cries]
Mom... [Sobs]
What's it dear?
What can I tell you? Fraud! It's all fraud!
What happened dear?
He is not whom he claimed to be.
Prabakaram... Prabhakaram...
-What's up mom? -You shouldn't marry Padma!
-Why? -That's not your business.
I don't approve this wedding.
After everything is fixed and announced, what would people say?
Let them say anything, I don't want this wedding to happen.
Whatever it is, this wedding should happen.
Would you marry that drunkard's sister?
How does it matter what he is?
She's a nice girl, I liked her, I would marry her.
Then, you can't stay in this house.
Who are you to command? This is my house. Just shut up and stay calm.
Huh?
Argh! Argh!
[Gasps]
You went away and staying happily in the heaven.Look at my fate.
[Sobs]
Aah?
Hey, why have you come? Is your sir coming?
Where is he, didn't come yet? Miss you get in.
-In the car? -It's anyway going to our place.
Moreover it's going unoccupied. The driver is my friend. It's ok, get in.

[Car honking]
What's all this?
As you are the newly wed daughter-in-law, they are removing evil eye.
Come!
Why do you stare? It's Raja.
-Raja? -Ah! Raja is my brother.
Then, Mr Ramabhadrayya?
Your father-in-law.
Dad... Dad!
Always stay blessed.
Dear, this house has lost it's charm as there was no woman to take care of.
You arrival has brought a new glow.
You are the elder daughter-in-law of the family.
the responsibility of this house is yours from now on.
Dear, though Anji is grown up by age, he is still a child in nature.
He gets frustrated if his word isn't final.
Not sure how you tackle him.
Come on dad! You are insulting me before ladies.
Did you just see that? This is him!
[Wedding chants]
[Wedding percussion]
I never thought even in my worst nightmares that we would be cheated.
Fine, did you listen to me when I warned you?
Pay for your deeds now.
Saroja... Saroja...
Come upstairs!
Saroja, will you come upstairs or not?
She won't. You go and sleep.
[Laughs]
Won't she? I too will see why wouldn't she...
You get inside. Get up and go.
Saroja...
Gantanna... Why is Saroja getting scared of me?
Who doesn't get scared looking at you?
Ha ha ha... I'm like a fierce tiger!
Go and sleep.
I can't sleep if I lie down. I can't stay calm until I drink.
Gantanna... Come, I shall give you some.
My dear mother-in-law...
I want money!
I don't have any money, go and sleep.
No no! I want money. Will you give it or not?
Oh stop it! You want money to drink and dance?
What else is money meant for? It's meant for that.
-Give, come on! -No, get lost!
No? [Laughs]
-I will stab you... kill you! -Oh my God! Knife!
-Gantanna... -Yes son...
I will stab you too...
Oh God! What did I do?
Then ask your sister to give me money.
Else I will kill you.
Come, tell her! Hmm...
Hmm... tell her!
[Bolts the door]
Sis... Please give him the money. Else I will die.
-I will not give, even if you die. -Atleast for my sake?
I will not give for anyone's sake.
[Growls] Don't you give? Damn!
Then I won't stay in this house at all.
Leave if you don't want ot stay.
I'll leave. I'm leaving. Saroja, come on!
-Where will she come? -Why? Wouldn't my wife come along?
Do you have a house or a shelter? Where do you want her to come?
Where? Into the stream!
Hey Saroja, will you come or not?
She won't come, I wouldn't send her.
Won't you send her? I will see how would you not?
I will drag you to the court and take her away.
Bye!
-Mom... -You just shut up and get in.
Son, she is our only child.
Brought her up with lots of love.
We're giving her hand in yours.
Moreover, you got married against you mom's will.
She may torture my daughter.
Don't worry aunty.
I will take good care of Padma.
Sister, why do you cry when your daughter is stepping into in-laws house for good?
Sis, how can I explain you my fears?
I'm worried how would she survive there with her mother-in-law and sister in law.
You don't worry at all. I will be there to take care of her.
Hmm. Come on move, it's getting dark already.
Son, sir has sent money.
Ah! Give it to your madam.
Madam...
-Yes Venkanna... -Here is the money...
Miss.. hey miss...
Yeah, coming!
Argh! Why are you shouting?
Don't I shout when I feel hungry?
Can't you wait for a while. Do you think I have no other work at home?
Aha! Things have changed a lot!
True! You got the safe keys now.
Why will you listen to husband now?
Keep it to yourself!
-Here, take it. -No! I don't want.
-Will I keep quiet if you say no? -What will you do?
What will I do? I will feed you.
Hmm. Open your mouth!
-Hmm... -Hm.
[Laugh]
[Clears throat]
Bro, when have you come? Did you get little miss?
So soon? The treatment isn't finished yet.
I gave them a strong dose this time.
I scared the hell out of the mother and daughter acting like a drunkard and thief.
I threatened that I would never step in their house again.
Now its Saroja's turn to choose between, mom and drunkard husband.
[Laughs]
For which sin of my sister are you punishing her like this?
Saroja is a nice girl. It's not fair to torture her like this.
We are doing this for the sake of your sister's well-being.
I married Saroja because she is a nice girl.
You please do not worry.
Aunty, you haven't had anything since morning. Please have these fruits atleast.
I don't want anything. How many times should I tell you. Get lost!
Why are you angry with me aunty? What have I done?
What else is left out? You ruined my home.
You brother cheated on my daughter.
You tricked my son, married him and settled in my house.
If I eat the food you give, it's nothing but poison.
Don't eat if you don't want to. Whom are you threatening?
-Come Padma. -Please wait dear.
How can we too get angry for an elder woman's words?
Yeah, why do you get angry?
You are just shameless and careless.
Just shut up! You mind hasn't grown along with your age.
Yeah, you are abusing your mom and supporting your wife.
God will punish you for this.
Not me! He has punished you now, isn't that enough?
Come Padma!
Huh?
'Rs2000 fined for mixing water in milk.'
Unfair! Unfair!
Would you mix petrol instead of water in milk?
Just watch! I will form a milk committee and call for an agitation.
Government has passed a law that water shouldn't be mixed in milk.
It's a crime to mix water in milk. What if I mix milk in water, what can they do?
Tell me a man who can have raw milk?
He will die of indigestion.
As we concerned about public health, we mix water.
Ayyar! We always know about milk and water.
Oh God! I searched the lane thrice up and down for the house.
So surprising! No one could show the house when I asked for Padma's house.
True! Who will show you if you ask for Padma's house?
This is my house.
How can it still be yours? Padma is the daughter-in-law.
Padma... Padma...
She isn't home. She went along with her husbands for a rife.
Then I'll sit here until she come.
-Who is this mom? -Padma's aunt.
Yeah, it's me. Please get me some water.
-Hey, who do you think she is? -Isn't she your daughter?
I heard that her husband has left her and gone.
Which idiot has said that?
Not just one, the whole village is talking about it.
Ok but I heard that women who are left by her husbands...
are being educated and given jobs?
My daughter is not that ill fated. We are well to do.
Yeah, let her stay as your accompany.
Mom...
You better not say anything about my daughter.
What have I said? I spoke the truth.
Hmm. Though she has husband, and we don't its just one and the same.
Mom...
Hey, why have you come here? Get out!
Hey, who are you to ask me to get out?
Hey, keep this suitcase inside.
Suitcase? Who do you think I am?
I know. Can't I make out from what you are holding?
Hey, have some manners. Who do you think he is? He is my brother.
Yeah, I saw him in the wedding. I thought he is our family, and told so.
What is wrong in doing our work, brother?
Brother? Who are you sister?
Me? I am Padma's aunt.
Du... Durgamakka... Why don't you tell me?
Good atleast you could recognize me now.
-Give me your suitcase... -Here...
-Give it here... -Be careful...
-Why do you go that side? -To throw it outside...
-My suitcase... My suitcase... -Uncle!
Look, they are throwing my suitcase and sending me away.
Uncle, is this how you would treat relatives who visit us?
You know nothing, you keep quiet. She is dominating us.
Why does she dominate? She didn't come here in desperation.
-Try to respect our guests. -Please tell them son.
Our girl has come here recently...
I came here being worried about her.
Look what they have done to me.
You please don't mind. Get in.
Yeah, you kids will teach us now!
Everyone is feeling proud.
Else, you thought we shall always be compliant to you?
Sis, I couldn't believe when I read that the world will get destructed.
It's true. I see some indications already at our home.
What can we do? Come we shall mourn together.
Padma, why haven't you greeted your aunt?
You do not know about her, she is a bad-mouthed woman.
Is it? Then she should stay here.
She makes a good pair to my mom.
Hey, you have locked up everything?
-Give me kitchen cupboard keys. -Not with me.
Not with you? Will you give them or not?
How dare you beat me? I won't give.
-Hmm. -Hmm.
If you don't give, I will break the lock. Don't underestimate me.
-Break it, I want to see how you do it. -Come, watch it!
Why don't you say anything brother?
What can we do? Your son has given her full force.
[Door banging]
Already I am very hungry. Look she has kept all the food safe inside.
Madam... Madam...
Sir is asking you to come quickly.
"You should see while he sulks,"
"the beauty of Gokula Krishna (Lord)."
"One should see while he sulks,"
"In those fierce looks..."
"the way he smiles..."
"One should see while he sulks."
"When he walked very gently like a black cat,"
"His anklets clanked while he tried to steal the butter..."
"When he walked very gently like a black cat,"
"His anklets clanked while he tried to steal the butter..."
"Mother woke up and saw the thief..."
"Just for being asked what kind of a mischief was that..."
"One should see while he sulks,"
"the beauty of Gokula Krishna."
"One should see while he sulks."
"Having listened to the melodious flute music..."
"As the women came desperately to meet him..."
"Having listened to the melodious music of flute..."
"As the women came desperately to meet him..."
"Being worried that he would catch an evil eye, Yashoda..."
"She hid him inside and just for that..."
"One should see while he sulks."
"the beauty of Gokula Krishna."
"One should see while he sulks."
Hey, where are you?
Why are so late?
-Where is the milk? -No milk, nothing at all.
-Buffalo has kicked me. -How?
How? Let our son come, I will teach you a lesson.
You're torturing me. How do I run the house?
You don't earn a penny. How many days should I work hard?
What did I do?
What else will you do? You cannot earn anyway.
If our son becomes, Gundamma's son-in-law...
I thought we would get that property. Now I lost that hope too.
How is it lost? Hope is imperishable.
Gundamma's son-in-law is a drunkard, thief.
Any day he should go to jail like our son.
Then we shall make them divorced, and get Saroja married to our son.
What? Should my son marry a married girl?
Our son likes such a marriage. Trust me.
Dear Saroja, Police are after me.
Hence I couldn't meet you.
Important news is that I found a job.
I will be waiting for you at the outskirts at 12 in the midnight.
If you want to come along with me, come and meet me.
Bye, Raja.
Wait!
Where do you go? How do you go?
He's a thief and a drunkard too.
He will snatch your remaining jewellery, kill you and throw your body somewhere.
Why do you suspect? Go! Go!
However he is, its an honour to a wife to stay with her husband.
There's no life for a woman who is parted from her husband.
No matter how rich you are, it is meaner than death.
Don't go!
Listen to me. You will have to face a lot of hardships. Be careful.
Hmm. As though you are very happy now.
That is better than this disgraceful life.
Go! Go!
Where are you heading to?
He wrote to me, asking me to come. I'm going.
Oh shut up! He called you and you are leaving this midnight?
Mom, he is in a lot of problems.
So? Let him suffer. Why do you have to accompany him?
No, mom. I have to go.
Why are you so stubborn? You cannot go!
-How can you command me? -Huh?
-I have no right now? -You do.
Only until marriage, you have rights on me.
Ah? That's it?
You are my blood. I brought you up with so much love?
I have all my hopes on you. Do you want to leave me and go?
Can I live if you are out of my sight?
Dear... dear...
You made me like this with this pampering.
I'm suffering for your stupidity.
I was mislead in your guidance.
I am parted from my husband, and ruined my life.
Ah? Is this how you speak with your mom?
When your daughter realised herself and wants to go her husband
Why do you crib over it? Yo should feel happy.
How would a barren woman like you know my pain?
Aha? As though you are the only woman who gave birth.
Is giving birth to kids a great deed? Animals too do it.
Hey girl, don't mind your mom's words. You go.
-Stay away! Why do you interfere? -[Sighs]
What is this ladies fight?
Brother, that drunkard wrote a letter asking her to come, and she's leaving.
Where do you? You can't go!
Who are you to command me? I should go!
Should? How can you leave your mom and go?
Saroja, listen to me.
I will file a case against him, and will get you divorced.
Oh, stop it!
Oh come on! What kind of an advice was that?
Let the husband be a thief or a king.
Wife will stay along and correct him but do not leave him.
Give it here. Ignore them, you go, go!
So are you leaving? Go! Go and suffer with him.
I will mourn over it, and think I didn't have a daughter at all.
[Sobs]
-Dad... -Yeah...
Here, brother has sent a telegram.
He's coming along with his wife.
-Huh? Is he coming? -Not to our house.
Both of them would stay in our farm and take care of it.
But the girl shouldn't know about brother's identity.
How is that possible?
That's ok. We wouldn't be going nearby, and Venkanna will talk to them and deploy.
-Oh, is it? Ok. You take care of it then. -Ok.
Venkanna... You wait at the farm.
Dad, I'll go to station.
Hey bro, my car has stopped.
Can you push it, I'll drop you.
-Starting trouble? -Yeah!
Shall we push?
Push!
Come on!
-Hail Hanuman! -Yeah!
Come on push!
Push girl, push it!
[Engine starts]
Yeah, come, get in!
Hey, what did you do? Get down.
-Why did you stop again? -Push it gain bro!
Car seems to be new, but why doesn't it move?
That is the problem with new ones.
Yeah, when did you get married?
Recently!
So you should know this better.
A new car and a new wife take time until they set right.
-Go and push! -Come!
[Car door slammed]
Argh! What a push girl!
You bring bad luck, the car would stop again you, if you get in.
Hey... Hey... Hey man!
Mom! I'm back!
Son, you are back! I have been waiting for you since ages.
Hey, how did you come so soon?
As per my calculation, you have another 10 days term of imprisonment.
Why? Do you have a problem with me coming early?
Not at all!
Look, this is his way! He's troubling me a lot.
He is jobless and not earning a penny.
Moreover, he just kept staring when Gundamma's daughter was getting married.
Huh? Saroja is married?
Yeah! I could do nothing.
Yet, I have ruined almost all the matches.
Finally, one man has cheated and married her.
Taught her a lesson.
Ok, I will take care of that.
Ok, give me Rs100 right now.
Rs100? How would I have?
I don't care about that. I want it by evening.
Else, you know me!
Ask him like that, I feel so happy.
Come son! Have something.
I lived peacefully till today.
My life is ruined from today.
Lord, even my worst enemies shouldn't have one such son.
Yummy! They taste so good when hot.
Free food always tastes good.
Why do you say free? I cooked with a lot of effort.
I will break your hands if you touch them.
-Aha? -Ah!
-Huh? -Ha!
Yuck! Why should I talk to you!
[Inaudible murmurs]
Hey, why do you sit right in front of me?
-You compete with me? -You compete with me?
I am the owner of this house.
I am the aunt of this house owner.
-Damn you! -Damn you!
Excuse me, is Padma at home?
-Who are you? -Why do you care?
Dear, are you Padma's friends?
Come, be seated.
Did you sit? She is not home, leave now!
Who are you to send them away? You sit down.
Who are you ask them to stay? Go!
Sit down, I'll get you some coffee.
Dear... Just coffee? Or would you get any snacks too?
I'll get snacks too, and see what can you do.
[Sighs]
Aha! Shameless fellows!
Came to eat free food at friends house? Get lost!
What sis? They are running like deers.
They are jobless and came to have free food here.
-I sent them away! -Very good.
Fine, I need Rs100 urgently.
Rs100? I don't have brother.
Don't say no. My son is after my life for it.
You should either give me or I shall die today.
Though you kick me hard, you don't get a penny.
Why do I have to kick for it? Give me those keys.
-Where are they? -Who? Those girls?
-Yeah! -They left!
What a cunning nature is yours? Is this how you treat guests?
Very funny! If she really had known what is manners, why would I be like this?
-Why do you waste food? Give it here. -Take it brother.
Hmm... Hmm... Have it! This is how you are wasting my money.
Hey, I already told you not to say that again.
Where is your house here?
-Did you hear that brother? -Yes!
She has a point!
Durgamakka, snack is excellent!
Put some more!
Ofcourse it will be excellent. It's free isn't it?
You are eating my food like dogs. Have it!
I will punch you, if you call us dogs.
Learn to talk with respect.
-What? Will you punch me? -Do you think, I'm scared of you?
-Hit me? -Come here, I shall!
[All scream] [Indistinct chatter]
Aunty... Aunty...
Stop calling me aunty. You ruined my home.
I am looked down by everyone. When our own people insult, outsiders too would.
Yeah, when my own son doesn't care, why does the world care?
That's why they say, 'Mom is poison and wife is honey.'
Stop it! You always keep cribbing about someone or the other.
When I am respecting you as a mother, are you trying ot keep it up?
Why do you always try to be authoritative on everyone?
Padma, quickly do the packing.
-Where are you going? -To Bangalore.
I will lose my mind, if I stay in the mad house.
Why do you have to leave son? I will go away. You stay happily.
I don't want this authority. Here, take the keys!
Hmm. Come on! It's sinful earning, nothing wrong.
I just require a 100. That's all.
Padma, you pack it quick. I shall get the vehicle.
Take the keys son. Your mom threw it in anger.
Mom... mom...
-What? -We're leaving, I need money.
Why do you need my permission? Take it from the safe.
-It's not in there. -No?
Then what happened to money?
Huh? How does it disappear without your knowledge?
Tell us where have you hid it.
-Oh my God! -What?
They are about to leave now. Why do you trouble them?
I swear on God, I really do not know. Please check my suitcase if you wish to.
Whoa! Why would one hide stolen money in suitcase?
You should have hidden under your sarees. Wait, I will check.
-Here it is son. -That's it? There should be Rs 5000.
You should have given to someone. I will surely find out. You may leave son.
Brother... Did you see this unjustness?
Why do you complain? Don't I know about you?
Damn you! You get ruined! You steal my money and label me as a thief?
-Shut up! I will punch you. Come! -Where?
[Scold each other]
Bolt it up!
Bloody woman! Oh God! Come in brother.
Why do I feel tired while you both quarreled?
Hey, this is where you stay. Hmm?
You have to do all the work at the farm.
Why such a big house for us?
You can stay here until you build your hut.
Who used to stay in this house?
None. My senior sir will relax here for a while, whenever he comes to the farm.
Oh! Senior sir stays here!
How about junior sir?
-Junior sir is not here now? -Why?
He sulked and ran out of the house.
You are the owners of the farm until he comes back.
[Grins]
-Owners? -I meant workers too...
Don't tell me you wouldn't pay us by calling us owners.
Why don't we pay? I will talk to senior sir and arrange accordingly.
-Fine. What's your name? -Me? My name is Venkanna!
Hey, Mr Venkanna, you should pay us equally.
If pay her less as she is a woman, I wouldn't accept it.
Why do you talk about salaries now?
You keep quiet, you do not know.
It's a affair with bigwigs, its always better to talk about salaries before.
What say Venkanna? Sorry... Mr Venkanna.
Sure! I will get you paid equally.
Ah, there are all the required utensils.
I will go and send you rice.
Hmm, you get in and set up everything.
Ha! Saroja... I am feeling thirsty. Get me a coconut.
When you take without their permission, isn't it a theft?
Theft? I think you are not aware, new slogans are out now.
"Land is the one's who farms, and kingdom is the one's who rules.'"
-Get it! -Ok.
Gundattha... Gundattha(Aunt)
-Who are you? -I'm Bhupathi, Gantayya's son.
Oh, it's you? Come sit here.
That's fine, but where is Gundattha?
She should be in the backyard.
Huh? Gundattha... Gundattha...
Gundattha, why are you sitting here? Like Sita in the Asokavanam.
Argh! Why have you put down so badly?
What else will happen? My worry you see.
Why would you be worried Gundattha? You were a queen.
Those times are gone!
Today my condition is worsened because of that devil.
-Who is she? -That Durgi, my daughter-in-law's aunt.
Oh is it? I will look into it.
Ok, give me a 100.
I do not have anything. She took over everything.
If you break her suitcase, you'll find thousands not just hundreds.
-Huh? -Yeah!
-See you! -Yeah! She should suffer now.
Hey, get your suitcase, I need money.
Money? Why will I have?
Hey, Gundattha has told me everything. Get it!
Argh! Take it son, why not?
10 will not do, I need 100.
100? Ok, wait, I'll get.
Take it son, isn't all this is yours?
-So, didn't your dad tell you anything? -What's that?
I have none as my people.
I thought of adopting you and get you married to my brother-in-law's daughter...
I wished to hand you over my property.
Yeah, my dad told me. I forgot.
Son, don't spend unnecessarily. That's my hard earned money.
No, I wouldn't spend.
-Argh! -What happened?
So salty! How are you eating it?
It's tasting good.
You're lying. You are saying so, as I will feel bad.
Forgive me. I'm not good at cooking.
You can't even have tasty food stomach full.
Food isn't important Saroja, the heart of the person who cooks is.
Even bitter food when served with love, tastes like nectar.
You are such a nice man!
So what? I am not able to provide you with any comforts.
What I am short of now? I'm very happy now.
Son, are you back? I've been waiting for you.
What's up?
Gundamma has created a lot of nuisance last night.
As I you gave you money, she said we are looting her
and created a mess saying that she will call the police.
She said you are thief and murderer.
She said she would send both of us to jail.
Oh is it?
Already she gave most of her assets to her daughter.
Now she's planning to sell her jewellery and send money to her daughter.
Her snobbery wouldn't end, unless we snatch away those jewellery too.
-Come. -Let's go.
Hey, why are you hiding inside? Come out!
Get down, what did you say last night?
Say that now. Would you send him to jail? Send him if you can.
-Speak out! -When did I say that? When did I say?
Didn't you say? Give me those jewellery.
Jewellery? Wait, I will call the police.
Hey... You will die just with one stab.
Hmm...
-Give! -Here...
Chain...
Studs...
Take it!
How dare you call the police? Lock her inside.
-Move... -Where? Listen to me?
Hey, its my jewellery...
Shut up!
-Son, give me those jewellery. -Huh?
I mean, you wouldn't get a fair price if you sell outside.
So, I will pay you their price. Give me!
Come!

Aunty... Aunty...
What? Who is your aunty? And who are you?
Oh! Durgamattha, is it you?
-Who is she? -She is Kanakadurgamma. My relative.
What's up aunt? Why have you come here?
You think this is a stranger's house? This is our Padma's house.
Yeah!
Aunt... You have some solid bangles on your hand?
-Rolled gold? -Why should I wear fake ones?
They are of pure gold!
They seemed to be like our Gundakka's.
By the way, where is Gundakka?
She is repaying for her sins.
She is left alone the backyard.
Once you step in the house, ofcourse this happens.
I didn't do anything. It's her son.
She tried to dominate me too, I've beaten her and left there.
-Very good deed. -Yeah!
Lakshmi, you take care of this, I shall be back in a while.
Put an end to this.
Aunty... Aunty...
Aunty...
Dear... Dear Lakshmi... Are you back?
Dear... dear...
-How are you? -I'm good. What about you?
What should I say? I am paying for my sins.
Dear, has son-in-law come?
Yes aunty. Come let's go inside.
I won't. She said she would break my legs if I step in.
Very funny. Who is she to command in our house?
No dear. I won't come.
I'm finished! They stole all my money.
They stole my jewellery.
Moreover they labelled me as a thief and threw me in this corner.
Bhupathi is also on her side now. [Sobs]
What is brother doing?
He left for Bangalore along with his wife, leaving this house to her.
Why should I blame any?
For the injustice I did to you, I am paying it now, totally.
Fine, come aunty, we'll go.
I won't come. Please listen to me.
It's ok, come. I am here.
Dear, please listen to me.
[Clears throat]
You came? How dare you? Get up!
I won't get up. Why should I? This is my house.
-Your house? Where is that? -Isn't this mine?
-Get up! Will you? -I won't at all.
-Get up! -Argh! oh God!
Your house?
Aunty... you sit down.
Who are you dear daughter?
-Hmm. I'm mom's daughter. -Not dad's?
-Hey... -You idiot!
-Who the hell are you? -Who the hell are, you?
I'm Devayya's daughter-in-law.
I'm Kotayya's grand daughter.
-Damn! -Shut up!
-Take out the money. -Which money? I don't know.
Dear, ask me. I would tell you.
-What should she ask you? -The money you hid.
-Where is that? -In your suitcase.
Dear, hold on. I will get it right now.
-Wait! -You better know about me.
These hands are strong.
Hey, you better know about me. These hands are sturdy.
-Hey.. -Hmm. [Groans]
-Huh? -Sit down!
You silly woman!
Dear, here is her suitcase. Give the keys.
-Which keys? -Suitcase keys.
-I don't have. -Why not?
Argh! Who asked to you to get my suitcase?
Dear, all this is our money.
You moron, one of the bundles is mine. I swear on God.
Do you have the stature of it atleast?
Dear, these bangles are also ours.
Argh! Wait, I shall remove and give you.
Hmm. Remove and put them there.
Hey, even the earrings are mine.
Damn! Wait, I shall give you.
Here... take away your nasty earrings.
Take this. Now get out! Hmm!
Wait, I shall tell Bhupathi and teach you a lesson.
Not just Bhupathi, tell to anyone, we don't care. Go!
Move! Why do you walk so slow?
You brats!
Did you see, what have they done to me?
I saw. But this is ladies matter. You should solve among yourselves.
-Better not drag me into it. -Huh?
-That's it? -Yeah!
Ok then!
-Dad... -Yes...
Tomorrow, I shall send Saroja to you to collect the salaries.
Ah! Did she change any bit?
She would anyway come. You check for yourself.
-Ha ha. -Bye!
-Dad, please remove that photo. -Ok ok.
"With the gentle blow of"
"the cool breeze..."
"I get dreams even if I just close my eyes."
Saroja...
Are you dreaming?
What dream is that?
I remembered the day, I met you.
Which day?
"With the gentle blow of the cool breeze,"
"I get dreams even if I just close my eyes."
"On the mattress of the bright moonlight..."
"I see wonders in those dreams."
"If I think of them..."
"I feel shy."
"I find you when I open my eyes."
"I find you even when I close my eyes."
"I find you when I open my eyes."
"I heard the sound of someone budging my heart asleep."
"When I opened my eyes being disturbed..."
"It was you in the pupil of my eyes..."
"Wherever I see..."
"I find you."
"I find you when I open my eyes."
"I find you even when I close my eyes"
"I find you when I open my eyes."
"I heard some soft calls in my awakened heart."
"When I searched around being startled..."
"You were in my heart."
"I find you when I open my eyes"
"When I close my eyes..."
"I find just you"
[Clears throat]
Hey, why did you come again?
Why don't I come? Where is my money and jewellery?
-How is it yours? -Ofcourse mine.
-Shut up! -You shut up!
Hey, you talk a word more, I will punch on your face.
Hey! Give the money!
Huh! Hope you know about me!
Son-in-law... Son-in-law...
Why do you need son-in-law?
[Ladies quarrel]
Hit me now, if you can!
Hey Son-in-law... come forward!
I will show him my power!
I break his back! Come son-in-law! Come.
Are you the son-in-law?
[Laughs]
Huh? Ha ha ha!
Huh!
Aah! [Laughs]
Did you see this Bhupathi's power?
[Groans]
Kick him! Kick him to death!
-[Groans] -[Laughs]
Hey!
[Gasps]
Hey!
Leave me!
[Screams]
You!
What Gantanna? Have you too come to fight? Come!
No... no, Mr Anjaneya prasad. I came to take him to hospital.
Hey, pick him up!
Why did you spare him just with injuries? To kill me?
Instead of happily staying at jail, why have done this to yourself?
[Cries]
They tore my blouse, saree too. Oh God, I'm bleeding.
Hey Gunda! I will see your end.
Did you see this? How badly they scratched me?
"Please go away Durgamma... Please go."
"For the well-being of our home."
"Bye!"
Huh! She is still snobbery!
Did you get hurt son-in-law?
Stop, stop! If you call me Son-in-law, I will have to call you mother-in-law.
-You call me Anji, I'll call you Gundakka! -Ok.
-Anji.. -Yeah!
I cannot stay in this house anymore. Please take me to your place.
We shall take care. Come aunty!
My sweetest dear!
Saroja... Saroja...
-What's it dear? -Come sit.
We are not going to work today. Complete rest.
What's that? Will they spare if we don't go?
Why not? Isn't it Sunday today?
Holiday! Jolly day!
Saroja.. I have a wish for the day.
What's that?
-Shall I tell? -Please do.
I want to have Vada (SouthIndian snack) today.
There's no black gram at home.
Go to the store and get it.
I have no money.
We should get our salaries. Go and take it.
Will they pay without turning month?
Why don't they? It's our hard-earned. Take it from them.
-I do not know their house. -Take Venkanna along.
Venkanna... Mr Venkanna!
Yeah, coming!
Take her to your sir, and give her the salary.
Ok... ok.
Come soon Saroja. I'm hungry. I want vadas.
-Sir... -Yes.
She has come to collect her salary.
Ah! Our maid hasn't turned up today. Please ask her to wash the dishes.
Ok, come.
[Crow caws]
Sir, will you give my salary?
-Ah... Did you wash all the dishes? -I did.
Ah, I don't have change now...
-Venkanna... -Sir,
Give her some grains. She may prepare porridge.
Come.
I don't want grains. I need money sir.
Why?
Tell him.
I have to prepare Vadas.
Vadas? While everyone is struggling to get some rice, you need Vada?
Very funny!
We may eat anything, how does it matter you?
We worked hard. Pay us our salary.
Whoa! You sound too arrogant!
Ah... I think I saw you somewhere earlier.
Yeah, I am Gundamma's daughter.
Yeah! Now I remember!
Being forlorn, you married a labourer finally?
Not being forlorn, I chose him and got married.
Alas! You were brought up very pampered.
Eventually, your in a state to work as a labourer.
We are not ashamed of this.
It's is an honour to work hard, live independently.
There's nothing for us feel bad or for you to feel pity in it.
We are very happy.
Aha! If we had known you would work so hard,
we would have got you married to our son.
Stop it. It's not appropriate to talk about a married girl like this.
You are an elderly man. You better keep up the respect.
No, I didn't mean that.
I meant you would've been happy with all comforts if you became my daughter-in-law.
Why? Because your's is a wealthy family?
We too have wealth.
For happiness, one needs affectionate bonding but not assets and property.
I came for my husband leaving my mom and my property behind.
Whoa! You changed a lot!
Where has your anger gone?
I neither changed nor lost my anger.
I'm the same old Saroja. Bye!
Hey girl! Don't you want your salary?
I don't want it. There's no shortage of opportunities in the country.
We will do this hard-work somewhere else.
Hey, she is leaving...
Where will she go dad? To the farm isn't it?
Stop the car! Stop!
She seems to be Saroja.
Saroja... Saroja...
Saroja...
-Saroja... -Sis...
-[Sobs] -Saroja...
What happened dear?
What happened you crazy girl?
Sis, we shall not stay here a moment.
-We'll leave. -Why?
Sis, this is Mr Ramabhadrayya's house.
So what? He is our father-in-law.
Huh?
Did you see that bro? They are always one!
-What say Gundakka? -As though you both are not!
Ah! Dear!
Hey, little miss... My car has broke down. Will you push it, I'll drop you?
Ha ha. Come on!
Ah! Ok!
I knew, you would accomplish!
Look dad, I brought Gundakka too, to 'stay at son-in-law's.'
'Stay at son-in-law'?
Dad, it's the opposite to 'stay at in-law's.'
Oh! 'Stay at son-in-law's'! Ha ha. Ok, let's get in!
