THUPAKI RAMUDU
[baby crying]
Mallanna, I hear a baby crying.
-It's coming from this direction. -Let's go see.
[indistinct chatter]
[baby crying]
God! A just born.
Who left the baby here?
Heartless mother!
Oh! Why do you just stand and stare at the crying baby?
It's Ok!
See how cute he looks.
See how beautiful he is.
Why don't you feed him?
He has no one.
Take him.
-What will happen to him now? -Someone has to adopt him.
-Who will? -Who might?
Hey, you don't have kids, do you? You adopt him.
I might have kids soon.
How can I adopt him? We don't know where he came from.
-What about you Mallesh? -Shut up!
-I care about caste and creed. -You all just stop talking.
Will you mark a caste for a baby too?
Even the Gods have caste, don't they?
Stop talking.
I will adopt him myself.
You took the right decision. You adopt him
You left me all alone.
That's why you sent this child for me, didn't you?
I'll take care of him the way you took care of me.
I will make him a gunslinger like you.
Ramu. Thupaki (Gunslinger) Ramu.
"My little Ramu, you made me a mother."
"Don't know which mother sent you to be my son."
"You came as a light into my life."
"You are never in my womb, but we share the bond."
"You are the only hope to my life."
"You are the direction to it."
"My little Ramu, you made me a mother."
"Don't know which mother sent you to be my son."
Here comes the gunslinger Ramu.
I am so rich that dogs and rats in my house feed on money.
Even the ants eat money.
So we are left with nothing and came seeking your help.
My mom likes this a lot.
Mom, I brought your favorite sweet. Get up.
Mom... get up! Mom!
Mom!
-Sister? -You went away making the boy an orphan.
"People should know who you are."
"Everyone should praise Thupaki Ramu."
"You should support the entire village."
"Everyone should bless you."
"Let me give you my life's time too."
"Live a long life my son."
"My little Ramu, you made me a mother."
"Don't know which mother sent you to be my son."
[howls]
BREAKING STAR - BITTIRI SATTI.
Look who is here!
It's Thupaki Ramu!
I am taller than the tallest.
Stronger than the strongest.
Smarter than the smartest.
I am the Thupaki Rama with no bullets.
My gun has no license. Shoot with it and there will be no case.
All the villages around will hear the gun shot, but you can't listen to it.
Do you know how many languages I know?
I know English to Arabic.
I know Kannada and how to thrash someone.
I know Tamil and how to bite.
There's no country I've never been to and no antics that I've not done
I eat breakfast in Norway and have tea in China.
Have dinner in Denmark and take a leak in Pakistan.
[sneezes]
You did it deliberately, didn't you? Use this instead of that.
That's the reason why I scold you all the time.
[crowd laughs]
-Did you see my magic? -Ramu...
You know magic. You are so clever.
-Why don't you be a leader? -Me?
All the leaders are my friends anyways.
-All of them? -Yes.
Name any of the world leaders you want to...
Every one of them is my friend.
Do you know about my army?
Aunt in Africa and uncle in Mongolia.
Sisters in China. Brother-in-laws in Burma.
Brother is in Thailand and sister-in-law in Mascot.
Then why are you not married yet?
-Only he can get me married. -Who is that?
-There he is. -Oh!
-Right, only he can. -Let's go. He's done and will ask money.
-Pay me! I need the money, don't I? -[people chatter]
Hello, sir. Why don't you even turn back?
-Check your pockets. -Why?
-Give me Rs100, didn't you laugh till now? -What? 100 rupees?
100 rupees is nothing these days. Can't even buy a vegetable
-Why should I pay you? -You got entertained, didn't you?
Wait a minute then. Bhagyam?
-What? -Get the clothes we bought for Ramu.
Ok.
Oh my!
You should live a long and happy life.
And should be so rich.
-Bhagyam. -What?
-Get 1000 rupees along with the clothes. -Ok.
I promise that one like you can be ever found on this Earth.
Are you there?
-Are you are still here? -Of course...
I am waiting for the clothes and the money.
There is nothing to give you.
You entertained me with your words. I did the same.
We are even now. Leave!
-He is taking my stuff. -Don't make your sister cry.
-Aunt? -Come come.
-Is Ramesh home? -No. He went to see the Sarpanch.
-Ok. -Eat something and go.
-I just ate. -Then eat again.
-You keep begging for food, don't you? -I will hit the crap out of you.
See how he's making fun of me?
As you are his uncle, he's doing so.
Ramu, rather than doing all this. Why don't you ask the Sarpanch for some work?
I too am thinking of it.
-Did you fill the holes on the roads? -Not yet. Will take two days.
-How many more days. -Workers said they'll come after 2 days.
-Hello! -We have to work on river bank too.
-Hello, Sarpanch brother-in-law. Help me. -What about you?
I will work. Give me some work.
-Why did you fall so? -You idiot!
-Do you fall for your own sneeze? -That's the kind of shock you gave me.
Stop laughing and give me some work.
You have your own work of talking and earning, isn't it?
I beg you. No one is listening to me now.
Everyone is talking now, with the help of all these social media apps.
-Who's listening to me? -He won't stop. You go work.
Stop! Give me some work first, brother-in-law.
-What work can you do? Just leave. -Is it?
Don't talk too much. You are not the Lord. My sister is the real Lord.
-I'll go to her. -Go then.
See how he's talking!
Sister?
-Longtime! Are you good? -Yes, sister.
-Smells so good. Are you cooking fish? -Yes.
-Tell me. -Your husband is not giving me work.
-Why will I not help you, brother? -Will I say no if you do, sister?
What are you doing at my house?
Hey, he finally asked for work.
-Give him some work. -God! Srinu...
-Yes? -Take him along with you.
You could have told the same earlier! Oh my sweet sister!
We will die, trying to make him work.
It seems will we have ample rains this year. Started working on the river bank?
-You took money too. -Let's see.
Looks like you are ignoring the work once you got paid for it?
You shut up and go work.
Ramesh... Take him away from me.
Do you need to tell me how to work? Get into the kitchen.
Ramu... I have been seeing you since your childhood.
-But I never saw you work. -Can you even work?
I won't work. I will make you guys work.
Stop your sneezing now.
Go and sneeze in the bushes with thorns. It will set you right.
-Enough! Let's start working. -You go on.
-I'll just be back, it's so sunny. -What?
-Here is your food! -Keep it there.
Look out for dogs.
Hey! Come let's eat. I am hungry.
-What curry? -Mango pickle. Yours?
Bottle gourd.
-What a smell! -It's the chicken.
I am done eating these tasteless curries.
-You feel so as you saw chicken. -Give me two pieces, please.
Not even a bone!
As if we don't share food at all.
-Why today? -Because it's chicken.
Don't feel bad. And don't ask for some.
-Is it that special? -Yes.
-Ok. I'll eat while smelling it. -Go on.
Oh no! Ramu is coming.
He won't leave anything for us to eat.
-Move fast! -He might smell them. Comes right on time.
He has such a sharp nose. When my wife said look out for dogs, I now get it.
Let's go.
They are here a minute ago!
Where did they go? Something is fishy!
God!
He's not going to leave us.
I smell nice chicken.
-Why did he fall like that? -Why won't he?
-He fell, as we didn't get our food yet. -Yes, he's right.
Is it? Then how do I smell chicken?
Maybe that's not chicken you smell.
Let's see.
See how he's sniffing!
-Why are you following me? -It's a game.
Then Ok.
-You said you haven't got food. -We did? No idea.
They might have placed them here and left.
Not this.
This is it.
-Such a great smell. -He took the right one.
You too eat.
Damn! I almost forgot you.
-Have it. -No. You go on.
-I'll eat just for one time today. -Is it? I will eat it in two shifts then.
Suguna...
What man? I know your wife.
I know your grandmother. Who is this Suguna? Your aunt?
-No. Suguna! -Your cousin or your sister-in-law?
-No. Suguna! -Then who is she? Your mistress?
-My chicken. -Chicken! [in unison]
Is Suguna your chicken's name? [in unison]
-Yes. -What happened to your chicken?
What should I say? I took very good care of it.
I fed it the right food.
I even gave it liquor.
When I was eating chicken, it came to me and kept looking at me.
How can I eat, looking at it's face?
-I fed it some chicken. -What?
Did you feed chicken to a chicken?
What do you think? I took care of it, more than my own children.
-What happened? -What should I say?
I took good care of it. I killed it in the name of God!
My wife cooked it so well and brought it for me.
I thought of having it to only myself.
-I almost had a piece, and... -Stop!
I got it. That Ramu came and devoured it, didn't he?
-How did you know? -Who else will eat our food like that?
I was frying a bird last time in my farm.
Don't know where he came from. It's just half cooked...
But he took it, ate it and went off.
He ate my fish too.
Leave the stories of mine and yours. He'll eat anything and drink anything.
He even drank the fresh toddy I took from the tree. Idiot!
We can't even sense it. He comes in deft steps.
He did many things like these. Who will stop him?
I will. Even though you left him, I won't.
I'll teach him a lesson.
-You are right. [in unison] -Ramu is coming.
Is he? Run!
You run listening to his name. How can you beat him?
Stop your silly jokes! Hey...
Let's do this.
Let's all jump onto him. Stop him from moving...
And then trash him.
[phone rings]
Tell me, Srinu.
Wow! We are lucky. He is right here.
-Let us all beat at once. -Ok.
-Start counting. -Ok.
-Let's go on count of three. -Ok.
-1. -1...
-2. -2...
-3. -Wait!
If we beat him here, he will shout and the public will gather.
-Let's take him to the fields and trash. -He's right.
No one will come there. Lift him up.
-Stop! -What now?
If he wakes up, he will finish us.
What shall we do then?
Take a rope and tie him tight.
We are so lucky.
We got him here and now we got a rope right away.
Tie him up.
-What's this? -Come on...
His face feels so hard?
-That's his body type, isn't it? -Move!
I doubt something. Is he even Ramu at all?
-He seems to fail our plan. -Let me see.
I can't wait until we get there. Let's beat him up here itself.
Let's trash him... Hey, he's waking up!
Tie him tight.
God! He might have killed me now.
Oh God! You and your chicken grudge!
He ate our food and grew so heavy.
Let's all lift together. Go on!
Let's go.
-God! He got heavy. -And that too, all of a sudden.
-You are leaving all the weight on me. -Not me.
You guys cut it out. I can't do this anymore. Put him down.
Hey, who's that you are talking away at this hour?
My aunt is not feeling well. So taking her to the hospital.
Aunt? He looks like Ramu!
You are not being able lo see in this dark. You mind your work.
Whatever! Go fast. The hospital will close soon.
You first go home. You can't even see properly in the dark.
I can't carry him anymore. My shoulders are paining.
-What's that? -Doesn't matter.
-Let's finish this first. -Put him down.
Put it down.
See how sturdy he is, even after we bringing him all the way here!
We made his bed into a swing on our shoulders, isn't it?
-We have to trash him tonight. -Wait!
-Let's sleep for a while and then do it. -Will they sleep for real?
[calling like a rooster]
-Suguna... My baby! -Stop crying.
People will wake up now. And are you crying without avenging Suguna?
Come on! Hit him.
-Hit him. -Go on.
Oh God! Where did my stick go?
Hit him hard!
I beg you. Don't hit me. Not on the knees!
See how he's bleeding for our punches.
Right.
If it's his blood. Why do I feel pain?
Yeah, I too feel the pain.
-Same here. -Hey...
We are taking this much pain!
Imagine his state. Is he even alive?
See if he's still breathing.
It's a log!
-God! -I will take chicken, but not trashing.
What Shekar and Santhosh?
You keep fighting and make people gather around. Is this all you do now?
Tell me, Madhanamma. What did your sons do?
They took the 4 acres of land after my husband died.
Now they both are not taking care of me.
Their wives are not letting me in.
I beg you, please help me.
I beg you. I find no way to survive.
Is that true, Shekar?
- Let me tell you Sarpanch Sir... -You know her behaviour...
She loves her younger son more.
She gave him everything and now we need to take care of her?
She did nothing to us. She gave half acre more to them.
Leave all of that and listen to me.
She took equal care of you both.
Not being partial to any of you.
You have to take care of her for 6 months each every year.
She gave him more land. Ask him to take her.
Last time it cost me 1 lakh for her health. Did he share that?
You took the land and so you have to.
If she dies, I need to spend money on that too, isn't it?
What are you talking? Are you even humans?
Are we humans? Or animals?
Your mother asks to feed her and do you talk about her death?
When your father passed away when you are just kids...
Haven't she worked her life off to take care of you?
You are what she made you. And now do you both want to leave her off?
Words are so easy to use. Take her responsibility and you'll know.
We you can't... I'll take care of her like my own mother.
Let's go.
Stop over acting! Do you want to take care of my mother?
You beg for your own food. And now do you say you'll feed her too?
You feed on begging, how dare you preach us?
You don't even know who you are.
Your mother left you as a kid and some old woman raised you and died.
Such a miserable life!
Watch your tongue! What are you talking?
[commotion]
Stop it!
Why do you need to interfere? We are here, aren't we?
Do you think you are a hero?
You'll take care of her? Fill your stomach first.
You let them talk and now you too are blaming Ramu?
What's wrong in it?
Do you know who his parents are?
What's his caste and creed?
You beg for your own food. And now you say you'll feed her too?
Is a beggar teaching us lessons?
You don't even know who you are.
Your mother left you as a kid and some old woman raised you and died.
Such a miserable life!
Do you know your parents? What's your caste and creed?
Your mother left you as a kid and some old woman raised you and died.
Such a miserable life!
The river is flooding. Let's go!
Let's go!
[commotion]
The river is flooding into the fields!
The village will me immersed soon. Let's go.
Come on.
Faster!
Oh, God!
Move!
Come on!
-Come on! -Do you see what happened?
You never listened to me.
What if this happened towards the village side?
Faster!
[commotion]
Come on! Help out...
Stop!
Listen to me carefully.
Be ready with sand in your baskets.
All of you go at once on my word.
Ramu! [in unison]
Go ahead!
Keep it coming.
Come on!
More sand!
[indistinct chatter]
Brother-in-law!
-Pull him up. -Ramu... Such great man you are!
Pull him up.
-Ramu! -Careful.
What happened?
Ramu brother, the slit got filled.
You saved our fields and village.
Ramu, we scolded you.
Tried to trash you.
But you still saved all of us.
We said you are of a bad creed and called you a stranded child
Sorry Ramu. Your mother gave you birth for us.
-It's Ok. -Ramu...
You risked your life to save our village.
We all are indebted to you.
Our land is our mother. This lake is it's mother.
Our village will prosper if the lake does good.
So it's our duty to save it.
What else can be more satisfying, sister?
"You have the guts..."
"...to give away your breath for the village."
"To pay back for this mother land..."
"Your heart always looks for an opportunity."
"Our village is celebrating today."
"Let's dance and sing today."
"The darkness has gone far."
"The beautiful first light is here."
"Today is the festival of the lake."
"Our village is celebrating today."
"Ramu, your presence is always happening."
"You make all of us laugh so hard."
"You are such a pure kid..."
"You call everyone with relations."
"Your words filled with love."
"Your heart is as pure as the Lord Rama's."
"You stood alone for the village and risked everything."
"We all are here just for namesake..."
"You are the hero who stepped forward."
"Our village will never forget you, Ramu."
"Our village is celebrating today."
"We never thought you are one of us and asked if you are doing good."
"But you still did all this for us."
"To the lake that's flooding..."
"To the force of the water..."
"You stood in front of it risking your life."
"You all are family!"
"Our souls are related."
"You are mothers, who fed me."
"You took care of me like your son."
"I can never pay you back..."
"It can never be paid back."
"Our village is celebrating today."
"Let's dance and sing today."
"The darkness has gone far."
"The beautiful first light is here."
"Today is the festival of the lake."
"Our village is celebrating today."
[banging the door]
Why are you looking like that?
He's Srinu. I am Ramesh. And these are our people.
Selling clothes?
You all look well dressed.
-Shall I too? Who's marriage? -Yours, Ramu.
-Mine? -Yes.
Did you get drunk early in the morning?
Talking like fools!
You are a big shot in the village now.
They will give you 3 acres of land. A house.
Lord's wife said to get you married.
-Three girls are waiting. -Let's fix one today. Get ready.
-So early marriage to me? -Hey! Are you feeling shy?
Keep it aside. You should have a son of my son's age.
I feel shy. I am new to all this.
That's common. Go get ready.
[rap song playing]
[chatter]
Ticket! Take ticket.
They are checking for tickets.
2000 note? I don't even have a 1000.
-Give me change. -It's Ok.
I'll come with you until you can manage the change.
-Move move! -Who's this idiot?
-Bad sign! Let's go for another bus? -No no, let's take this one.
-It will be fun. Get on. -Come on.
Ticket! Take ticket, brother.
Wow! Acting smart?
3 tickets to Peddakalava.
Side please, brother.
I can't control seeing you. Can you come with me?
Just for the change you owe me for this 2000. That's it.
Keep it with you. I'll keep coming. Ok?
Hey, I have been seeing. What are you talking?
Why do you care? Keep calm.
Talk something. If it's not enough, I'll give another 2000. Ok?
Who are you to hit me?
What! Hey, leave me.
Idiot, don't you have manners? I have been watching you tease her, rascal.
Brother, what happened?
He's been teasing the conductor, brother.
Hello, will you alone thrash him? Send him this way once.
God!
How dare you tease a girl?
This bus is your working place.
How can you step back, when you are the one who should provide security to us?
Be strong!
PEDDAKALAVALA
Who are you? What's with these clothes and all?
-Nothing. -Hey!
-See. Smell it. -What's this?
-Who the hell are you? -Move aside.
[rap music]
Ramu, is that you?
If she sees you in this dress, she won't leave you without marrying.
How is my style uncle?
Have you tried so hard for this?
-You stop! -Do you too want to change?
-Where is Mutyala Narasayya's house? -This is it.
Did I change right in front of their house?
-Is he Mutyala Narasayya? -No. But what do you want with him?
There is a single girl in their house, isn't she? We came to see her.
Every one will come for a single girl only. Who's the groom?
I look so flashy and he's asking who's the groom.
-Will the groom smell differently. -I already smelled that.
She's not single anymore.
KOTANCHA
-Is Rajayya there? -Father went to the fields.
Is he suffering from some illness?
No no. He can't look straight at women.
We came to see Rajayya's single daughter.
-That was before a year. -What?
-You came after she got married. -Is it?
I am married and pregnant too.
-Wait. Listen to me. -No. No more match makings.
Srinu searched all of these. Now let's go see what I searched.
-She looks good. -Last match and here is the last dress.
-Did you see her closely? -Yes.
Is her belly normal?
If anything goes wrong, I'll kill you both.
Look at her, she looks good.
Does she look good? Really?
I feel shy.
My girl is virtuous.
Stop feeling shy and look at her.
I liked her. Fix this.
That's not enough. She should also like you.
-She likes me a lot. -How can you say that?
Look... She does what I do.
You old men have no idea about our youth.
Mom, I need to talk to him once.
See? What did I say?
She can't control herself. She wants to talk to me right now.
My girl is virtuous.
-I'll go. -Wait. He keeps saying virtuous...
She keeps calling and you say you'll go.
-Careful. -Do you think I am a fool?
Don't pull it too hard. It will tear.
-What do you do? -Work? Nothing...
Do you have any properties?
No... Yes yes I do. I have a house and it's land.
Qualifications?
No qualifications?
No work, no proper properties and no education too.
-Why should I marry you? -Please don't say that.
-I'll feel bad. -Is it?
People may not have house, or land...
But who don't have education in these days?
No just me. No girl will marry you like this.
Got it? Go get educated.
-Will you marry me then? -Yes, I will.
-First go get educated. -Then stay single until then.
Ok. But learn to read and write in two months.
Two months? One is enough. But you should wait for me.
-Hello, Satayya uncle. -Hello.
Where is the book store in our ward?
We don't have one.
-Ambedkar statue in the next ward... -Yes.
A book store was opened there, just yesterday. Go there.
ANITHA BOOK STALL
New shop. That smell of new books!
Do you have any books?
You?
You don't know me. But I know you.
You hit a guy in the bus last time...
I am the one who threw him off the bus.
Oh! What do you want?
Books to get educated.
You need to say 'books'.
-Yeah, books. -For your kids? Which class?
I am not even married and she's talking about kids?
It's for me. I need to start from the very basics. Give me all the books.
-That's it? -Yeah. Come back after learning basics.
-How much? -51 rupees.
Looks like she belongs to a well to do family.
Looks like she's well educated. Talks good too.
Don't know why she's running this store!
-Bujji, is Subba Rao sir there? -Yes. Do you want to get educated?
So clever!
-Subba Rao sir. -Yes?
-Hello! -Hello...
-What sir? All good? -Yeah.
Why did you come to the wrong place?
You need to get me educated.
Don't you have the entire world in your pocket? Why do you need education?
Please, sir. You are a great teacher. Help me!
Trying to get you educated is so dangerous.
-I beg you, sir. Please! -Ok.
As you are asking so much, I have to go to my village - Amalapuram.
-I'll start after coming back. -Will you learn there and teach me then?
Do you say you want to start after the time given to me is over and up?
Why to get educated after the time is up and the girl is no more mine?
-What? -Nothing. You are nothing in front of me.
As if you are the only teacher in the village...
No student of yours made it big.
-They are begging on the roads. -Ramu!
What? You are not great. You are nothing.
-Ramu... -Stop shouting like a crow.
You shout but don't teach. We would have started by now.
I am already in urgency.
Why do you seem dull? Drink my tea and it will lift you up.
[moped honking, arriving]
-Idiot! -Sir... Subba Rao sir.
-Wait, sir. -Hey! Will you kill me or what?
-Please stop sir. -I know why you stopped me.
Everyone in the village is taking your name.
-Is it? -Yes, sir.
-They say only you can teach me. -Ah!
-You are the best in this world. -Is it?
So what should I do?
-Do I have to get you educated? -Yes.
I will get anyone educated, but not you.
What did you say?
My students are begging now?
-Sir... -What else? You are nothing...
Haven't you said that I am just a useless teacher?
Blame my tongue sir, not me.
Please don't mind, sir. I beg you.
-Get lost. -Sir...
-Sir, take this. -I don't want you or that.
-God! -Sir... Sir take this at least.
Don't want this? You take this.
What happened? Who's that?
-He's Subba Rao sir. -He is a teacher?
Yes. But did he look like that?
I'm pleading him to teach and he is running away.
Is that pleading?
Is it not? From the day I bought slate from you...
I went to all the teachers in the village. No one is ready to teach me.
I don't know what to do.
-Maybe I should go to another village. -Now you think so much of education...
Then why didn't you go to school in your childhood?
It just happened! But no one is ready to teach me now.
Why do you want to get educated now?
It's a long story, madam.
-What do you plan on doing? -No idea!
-Education is urgent now. -What?
I can't explain but it's urgent.
I feel good to see you that interested.
If you obey me, I'll teach you.
I should praise you like anything.
I asked many, but they rejected. You said you would, before I asked you.
Such a great heart! Let's start, madam.
-Right now? -Didn't I tell it's urgent?
But only if you agree for my conditions.
Getting educated is enough. I'll do whatever you want me to, madam.
-Don't smoke. -I don't have the habit, madam.
Don't come to me while drunk.
Just now and then... But I'll stop that too.
Customers will be less in number in the morning. You can come then.
This is morning, madam. Let's start.
-Your name? -Thupaki Ramu, madam.
-Leave Thupaki. I'll call you Ramu. -Ok, madam.
My name is not madam. Anitha. Call me Anitha.
Ok, Anitha madam.
Madam, I love my mother a lot.
Let's start with her name.
MOTHER
Wrote it, madam.
So fast!
Don't spoil my wall. Move! Get lost.
No one is allowing me to write anywhere. This space looks nice.
-I thought you were a wall. -Thank God, you didn't take a leak.
Don't feel like taking a leak.
BUFFALO
Ramu, did you write buffalo on a buffalo?
Should I write goat instead? Silly!
BUFFALO
Come. These are my friends, madam.
-He's Srinu and that's Ramesh. -[greeting each other]
She's my madam. She's getting me educated.
Will take leave, madam.
-Good morning, madam. -Good morning.
-I am very happy. I wrote a poem. -Is it!
-Nice English speaking Ramu. -Your teaching, madam.
-I wrote a poem on you. -Do you write poetry too?
Yes. I wrote it without sleeping whole night.
Listening to it, even you won't sleep for two days.
-Sounds so great. -Give it to me then.
You can't read it. Let me.
She's the bird that fly over our village lake.
I like her a lot.
Her smile is like a beautiful flower.
She's the teacher who fed me with words.
She's the Lord Sarasvathi, who's giving a meaningful life to me.
Her name is Anitha. And this poem is for her.
Ramu, did you write this?
-Not nice? -It's superb! Very good.
-Give it to me. -This is for you, madam.
Madam, do you know why I wanted to get educated?
I went to see a girl before all this.
She insulted me as I am uneducated and said she can't marry me.
She said she'll marry me only if I get educated.
-That's why all this. -Is it?
-Yes. Now I'll go get her. -All the best!
Thanks, madam.
I am going in.
Great, she's waiting for me.
Don't come until I call you.
-What will he do now? -God knows!
How are you?
-Who are you? -Hey! It's me.
When I sought you, you said you'll marry only if I get educated, do you remember?
That person this person is same. I got educated.
-Oh, you? -Yeah.
-I love you so much! -This is too much!
Give me that saree.
Hey, give me that jacket.
See if anyone is coming.
-No one is coming. -Close the front door.
-Then? -Open the back door.
Do you want me to close the front door and open the back door?
She's planning something.
Did as you said. What now?
-Take this bag. -Why?
-I'll tell you. -Tell me now.
-Tell me. -Wait.
-Get me the ladder. -Why?
I'll tell you, get it first.
-On to the wall. -Why?
-To the wall. -Tell me why...
Do it, I'll tell you.
-Wait. -What?
Ladies first, don't you know? Take this.
-Why? -I'll say.
-Tell me now. -Keep calm.
"Tell him..."
Why this ladder and back door, while you have the front door?
-Later... -Tell me now.
-Just wait. -Shall I ask you something?
-What? -What's in the bag?
-Clothes. -Washed ones?
-Ironed them too. -Another question.
-What? -Who told you that I got educated?
-You got ready for me? -Yes.
-I feel shy. -Give me the bag.
Careful!
What is he doing inside for so long?
Yes! Look at that girl.
-See... -Let's go help her.
-Give that ladder. -What about me then?
Give that to us.
-What is she doing? -Right.
-I don't get anything. -The bag. [in unison]
-Take it. -Ok.
-Careful! -Slowly.
-Slowly... -Careful.
Give me the ladder, I'll come out.
Can't you hear me?
I have seen her somewhere!
Yes...
-Bye. -Ok, well.
Move! Fast!
-Let's help him with the bike. -Come on.
Come on.
-Start it. -Release the clutch.
-Stop! -That's our Bujji.
-She's eloping. Stop the bike. -Stop!
-Who the hell are you? -Bujji...
Is she eloping with him?
-Who the hell are you? -We'll come to this village again.
-Hit them. -Why are you hitting us. Listen!
-Hit them! -Listen to us.
What did we do? Stop!
-Did you helped her elope? -Stop hitting us so hard!
Where the hell is he? Ramu!
-Ramu! -Who the hell are you?
Hey, why are you hitting my friends?
There's that guy... What are you doing there?
-Came to see the girl. -Then where's the girl?
-No idea. -She just left.
-You just sent her. To where? -We know nothing.
Then why is he on the wall? Why did you push the bike?
-Tell us where you sent her. -As if she gave us an address eloping!
-You silly! -Elope?
My girl is virtuous.
-Virtuous! -Wait...
She put a ladder to the wall, hid her face, took her clothes...
Got on a bike and went away.
-Isn't it clearly eloping? -Hit them...
Wait, why are you hitting them?
Why are you trashing them? Careful, don't come any close.
-Come on, get on. -You keep moving.
Hey, red shirt! Move away. Move!
Ramu, I heard that this match is also a failure.
They say that the girl eloped with someone.
And that you sent her away carefully?
Come close. We can't here you.
-Who told you? -My relatives are there in that village.
-He called me. -What else did he say?
That they all hit you...
-Hey, Srinu... -Are you happy now?
-Will trash your bald head. -Why to mess with him? Come back.
Ramu, I feel so bad for you.
Why to feel bad? She went away with the boy she like.
Who can say? I may get an even better girl.
Don't you feel sad? Tell me.
How can you smile with so much of pain inside you?
What will we get by feeling sad? I am telling you...
-I'll get an even better girl. -Stay on that word.
Let's not roam anymore. I know a marriage bureau.
Let's go there.
SINDU MARRIAGE BUREAU
Shankar, the girl should look so good.
Should suit Ramu so well. Show us such girl.
I am not talking about the color matching. Show us nice ones.
We are asking for a Indian girl and you keep showing foreign girls?
As Ramu always talks about world leaders...
-That's why I've shown international girls -Right...
My words are international level. My songs are local.
-Thupaki Ramu is local for sure. -See now.
"I am definitely local..."
What's all this? You idiot!
Sorry. This Ramu confused me. This is the last go.
Why so silent?
Show another photo, Shankar.
What happened Ramu?
Those girls look great.
What happened? Speak out!
Shut up! Keep calm, I am confused.
I see only Anitha madam in all those photos.
Because she is the one in your heart.
That's why all this happened. You keep saying that, don't you?
-That you need a very special girl. -You both are made for each other.
She's the right one for you.
[singing crazy song]
[begging with song]
Ramu, no one will recognize you now.
Ramu, what's all this?
I am waiting since yesterday. What happened to the work you went on?
I am hiding like this as I have no answer, madam.
-Means? -She eloped.
-Eloped? -Yes. Me and my friends helped her too.
Did you help her? What are you saying?
-I am very happy, madam. -Happy?
Yes. It's better that she eloped now.
I would become a fool if she does that after marriage.
Also only because of her, I met you.
Isn't this good news?
Ramu, I wanted to tell you something from a long time.
Tell me, madam. Ramu is ready to do anything for you.
I can't come here from my village everyday.
-Can you search a house for rent. -Simple. My friend is in Dubai.
His house is empty now.
-I'll get it ready for you. -Thanks
Ramu is so lucky that he got her.
-No, she's lucky to get him. -Look at his face.
-So bright! -Hey...
True... I am as happy as I am, when my mother is alive.
I already told you that you are made for each other.
She's coming here as you wished. And you'll express your love too the same way.
I won't. I have no idea how to.
-You will. -I won't.
-You won't.... -I will...
-What will you say? -I'll say 'I love you, Anitha madam...'
-We did nice work. -Uncle, selfie!
Ah... click!
House... Ready...
-Send! -House ready.
Come fast... Ok.
Hi, Ramu!
Hi, madam!
-Did you see Ramu around? -Thupaki Ramu uncle?
-Yes. -He just went that side.
Doesn't the house look good aunt?
Someone decorated the hallway nicely with flowers.
Anitha said he'll look for a nice house. This is too nice!
I told you that I got a guy educated, remember?
-It's the same Ramu. -Why didn't you call him inside?
He left somewhere.
The customer you are trying to reach is out of coverage area.
Please try again later.
The customer you are trying to reach is out of coverage area.
-1 copy of this please. -Did you see Thupaki Ramu?
No.
Please try again later.
Give me two sketch pens please.
Did you see Thupaki Ramu?
No.
I have been watching you. Why are you so tensed?
I don't know where Ramu went.
-Maybe he went on some work. -He didn't tell me anything.
His phone is also switched off.
Don't get tensed. He'll come back.
You haven't eaten anything since morning. Eat this.
-You eat. I'll eat later. -Why are you feeling so low?
He might have gone on some work. He'll be back. You eat.
I have some work at home. I'll go.
-Where is Thupaki Ramu's house? -I don't know
Do you know where Thupaki Ramu lives?
This is it.
Where is Ramu?
I haven't seen him since morning.
Who's the one without legs here?
Who the hell is he? He's troubling me since two days.
He wants me to come to the patient, not the way around.
As I asked her leg size, he wanted me to bring all the sizes available.
You tell me. Patient needs to come to the hospital.
But not the other way, isn't it?
Where the hell is he now?
Where is the patient?
Someone tell me who the patient is.
It's my daughter, madam.
This girl? I can't believe this. So sad!
When did this happen?
-It's five months. -How did this happen?
Accident.
The wounds got completely cured.
We can fix the legs now.
Pass me the socks.
Give me the legs.
Give me the small sized ones.
Medium sized ones...
These fit well.
Prepare these legs.
Try to stand up.
Take a step.
Careful!
How are you both related?
He is friend.
See... They will feel irritating for a while.
With practice, you can walk normally.
Don't think of them as artificial legs.
Think of them as your body parts.
You too help her until she can walk by her own.
Ok? Bye. All the best.
Ramu, I don't know how to thank you...
Don't say that, madam.
I felt so sad, seeing you without legs.
Now I feel a little peaceful.
"Happiness rained down onto me."
"My heart drenched and raised like the waves."
"It glows like a rainbow now."
"The sky that hid behind the clouds all these days..."
"It looks so beautiful now."
"My life just took wings and started to fly..."
"Happiness rained down onto me."
"My heart drenched"
"You gave me your friendship, and made me take my first step."
"You showed myself to me and have been my strength."
"You came to me, saying that you are there for me."
"You took my pains as yours."
"Happiness rained down onto me."
"My heart drenched"
"That black sky lit up with the full moon's light."
"Your happiness took birth with new hopes."
"Our precious bond will never give into hurdles."
"It will stand strong, facing no matter what comes."
"Happiness rained down onto me."
"My heart got went and raised like the waves."
"It glows like a rainbow now."
"The sky that hid behind the clouds all these days..."
"It looks so beautiful now."
"My life just took wings and started to fly..."
"Happiness rained down onto me."
"My heart drenched"
-What's this, Ramu? -Put your legs on it, madam.
-What for? -Go on, I'll tell you.
No, Ramu.
Why to decorate these wooden legs that can't feel anything?
These might be just wooden legs for you.
But for me there are alive. Please never say so.
[song playing on speaker]
Rain!
This is our house. No one can find a better place than their house.
Same with me too. Mom and dad...
Mom gives me hell lot of love and dad gives me strength more than that.
My sister-in-law. She's does all the work in the house.
But in spite of all this, my brother is our curse.
Please don't kill me! Let me go, sir.
-I'll leave this village. Please! -What?
Instead of studying with your parents' hard earned money, you fell in love.
But without falling in love with your caste girl...
You tried to woo a girl from our higher caste!
You didn't pay heed to my warnings.
You messaged me that love doesn't care about all of that.
Now you are trying to elope with her.
What will happen to our caste if I leave you now?
And what about my prestige?
[phone ring]
-Grandmother, water. -Hello, Swapna?
-Anitha where are you? -At home. Tell me.
-Please come here at once. -Any problem?
-Please come fast. -I am starting right away.
Where are you going at this time?
I already told you not to go out without telling me.
You are being a rowdy in your house too?
She's the college topper. She'll go to US for M.S in few days.
You can roam all you want but a girl should take your permission to go out?
You go.
See, they have attempted suicide.
Why did you do this?
You took away all the value our friendship had.
Haven't I told you umpteen times to get married only after convincing your parents
She's trying since one year.
My parents fear that they'll kill me if I marry upper caste girl.
My parents say not to enter the house if I marry a lower caste boy.
Our only child. We loved her so much.
We spent a lot on her education.
Now she says she'll marry only that lower caste boy.
They are trying to force me into another marriage.
We are losing our respect, Jittu.
Not just yours, this will take all our respect.
These castes and stuff... not sure when we'll be free of all this!
Tell me what to do.
You too have a sister. Tell me what you'll do if she did the same?
Even if she's my sister, I'll kill her.
OFFICE OF THE SUB REGISTRAR AND MARRIAGE OFFICER
[indistinct chatter]
-Ok, bye. -Bye.
-Anitha? -She's so happy.
What?
Please! I feel so tensed.
We are leaving this village. Be with us for some more time. Please.
We want to thank me specially?
There are no words to state it. So we'll keep silent.
If you haven't done this, we decided to commit suicide again.
Forget all those. Don't trust these people with caste feelings. Be careful!
What happened?
-How is she? -She's in a critical position.
She's being operated.
Why are you crying? Is it because she did a good thing?
-She took away my respect. -Sir, this is a hospital.
-Be silent! -Get lost!
I've been telling you to stop her education and get her married.
Did you even consider it? Do you see what she did now?
She took away the respect of our caste.
Jittu, calm down.
We are crying, fearing for her life.
-Do you talk all this rubbish now? -She should have died there itself.
Even if she survives now, I'll kill her.
Are you even human? Will a human kill his own sister?
Don't you feel any shy? Is he even my father?
What the hell are you talking?
Stop! Why are you hitting him?
Do you hit your father? Moron! I did a mistake giving birth to you.
[sobs]
Your daughter is out of danger. But...
Dear!
Oh, God!
Anitha!
Unable to take that pain, dad committed suicide.
For all that he did, I sent my brother to jail.
The married couple are now in America.
The house I grew up... That happiness...
I used to remember all that and couldn't stay there.
So I came here and started the book shop.
Because of your friendship...
I forgot all those.
Hey, brother is coming.
-Is brother coming? -Is brother coming?
He was here for the festival last year
I thought of going to him and he's coming? Let him. I have lot of work with him.
"Yelamma... Goddess with thousand eyes."
"You ruled all the seven worlds."
"You are one for us. You are the one to save."
"You are the power, my mother!"
"Yellamma of our village."
"You are the mother of all Goddesses."
"You are responsible for our peace, mother!"
"Renuka Ellamma, who saves our village"
"We'll celebrate your festival, Renuka Ellamma"
"You are the goddess of every house here"
"You take care of all of us"
"You are omnipresent. Every being is yours"
"Even Lord Shiva won't cross your word"
"Taking your name is enough, Renuka Ellamma"
"We move into cosmic power all at once."
"Smearing your holy powder..."
"It will make all the problems disappear"
"You are the mother of all Goddesses."
"We all belong to you."
"Renuka Ellamma, who save all of us."
"We'll celebrate your festival, Renuka Ellamma"
"Renuka Ellamma..."
"You are our Renuka Ellamma"
"Are you a mother, or the baby. Tell me who to praise you..."
"We celebrate your name in all the villages."
"You have many names, Renuka Ellamma"
"Being happy for all this, you come into our houses."
"You came into us and saved our lives."
"Everyday is in your name. You know all the arts."
"You are all that there ever is."
"Taking your name is enough, Renuka Ellamma"
"We move in cosmic power all at once."
"Smearing your holy powder..."
"It will make all the problems go away."
"You have snakes around you waist and neck..."
"And you come with the drum in your hands..."
"With all the cosmic commotion around..."
"You jump into the field, our mother."
"We'll cross hell fires for you."
"We'll draw many holy drawings for you."
"We'll give you what ever you ask for."
"We'll cook all your favorite dishes."
"Those holy leaves and the goat as your food."
"Holy 'Bonam' in those pots and our songs along with them."
"With all the holy music all around..."
"All the villages around have shook to the beat."
"Yellamma, with your thundering eyes..."
"Your looks are shining."
"You are shaking with anger, to kill all the evil."
"We'll bring you the soil we cultivate on."
"We'll offer you the rice we grew in our fields."
"We'll give you lot of water."
"We'll offer you fresh fruits."
"All the women came with the 'Bonam' pots."
"All of them are coming your way."
"All the kids and brothers..."
"Came together to sing and dance."
"All of them are dancing in rage..."
"The music is too high..."
"Yellamma is coming to us."
"Look at all the celebration."
"Our mother is sitting on the tiger."
"She has the first holy 'Bonam' on her head."
Take it, Ramu.
-I can never forget this help, brother. -So won't you pay the loan?
-Nothing like that. -You have to buy 10 autos in an year.
-All the best! -Thanks, brother. Bye!
Save us holy mother.
Ramu brother, nice start. Even if it's our people or outsiders...
Leave no one. Take money from everyone.
Of course. Or else how can I pay back the loan?
-Uncle, start! -Wait! I will.
I bought it, but have no idea how to start.
Why do you look confused? Start it!
When did you learn to ride Autorickshaw?
Do I have to learn? I just need to ride a bit to understand
He can't ride an auto. Get down! Fast!
Rajanna, be my first customer.
-If I do, we all would die. -Brother... Sister, don't leave.
No one is coming. How to have the first customer? Srinu...
-Ramu, look at your first customer. -Got him right where I want.
-Hello, sir. [in unison] -Hello.
Hello, sir. [in unison]
We thought of coming to you. And you came our way.
-What for? -Ramu bought a new auto.
What? Ramu bought this auto?
We bought it just now. Just thought it'd be good if you're the first customer...
-And you are here. -You came like a walking God.
Sir, you said 'No' to getting me educated. It's Ok.
But you need to be my first customer. Right leg first...
-Careful! -Sit down.
Such a great treatment. Not even my own village people do that.
-Great! -Holy powder...
Holy powder too?
-Garland. -Garland too. Great respect.
-Sweet. -Sweet too?
Please start!
It started!
Hold tight. Or you'll fall out.
He is done for today.
-Drive properly! -Trying the same.
-Trying? -I mean...
Hey... Look at them!
Damn this buffalo. Why should they come onto roads?
Coming right onto my auto. See how they are walking. Like elephants.
Do you even know how to drive?
As you see, I am just learning now.
Huh!
See the dog is driving a bike. So I can easily drive an auto.
-It's the owner who's driving! -Don't you know how to drive?
Don't look at me. Look at the road.
It doesn't matter. It's not listening to me.
Ramu, I beg you.
-Please stop the vehicle. -Don't beg me, sir.
-Beg the bus that's coming. -Oh, God! Please do something.
-God! -No!
Thank, God!
-It's not letting me control. -Ramu!
Hey, can't you see?
-God! -Stop the auto!
I stopped it somehow.
Sir? Where did he go? Did he run away?
He fell off! Sir...
Sir, why are you sleeping instead of sitting?
-Great driving. You stopped it finally. -I didn't.
Seems the fuel tank is empty, so it stopped
Huh?!
Come. There's Grandmother!
Grandmother! [in unison]
-Aunt! [in unison] -How are you doing?
-I am good. -Chinni, are you going to school?
Aunt, you got legs? You are walking?
Walk for me once...
Aunt, isn't it my dad who made you lose your legs?
Don't cry, sister-in-law.
Don't cry, Rajeshwari. What can we do? This is our fate!
Aunt, I got a nice match for Anitha from my mom's village.
I told everything about us and they said 'Yes'.
He's a nice boy. He's doing a job too.
If Anitha likes him, let's go and talk.
-Take a look. -No. I don't want to get married yet.
Don't say that. Not that you don't know. This marriage will set everything.
She is talking the responsibility of your father and brother. Listen to her.
Please don't force me, mom.
[phone rings]
-Hello, madam.-Ramu...
Need to got to friend's engagement
-Will you come? -Ok, madam.
[humming]
-Where is the driver? -Hey!
Is that a man? I thought you are a part of the auto.
Madam, if you keep smiling like this...
I feel like staring at you all day.
Me too. You and the auto...
You look the same.
[women singing in the fields]
Ramu, can I learn to drive an auto fast?
-Do you want to drive an auto? -Yes.
What do you think of it? It's too tough.
I learned it in an hour. But it will take months for you.
-Stop the auto once. -[applies brakes]
-Move. -Are you serious, madam?
Move! Is this the clutch?
-It's the clutch and the gear. -Where's the brake?
-It's not that easy. -It's Ok.
-See... -Careful!
-Hey! -Hold the handle firmly.
-I got it. -Slow down, madam.
-Hey! -That's it?
-What? -But you said it's tough.
What? I am driving it almost. Careful!
Blow the horn.
-You are smiling but I feel tensed. -I got it.
Brake!
-Where is the brake? -That's my leg. Move!
Ramu, I wanted to tell you something from a long time.
-Ah! Even I wanted to since long! -Is it?
-What's that? Tell me. -No no. You go first.
As you thought of it first, you go first.
As you said it first, you go.
-You go first. -No, you go first.
-Someone is there on the road. -Stop it, brother-in-law. [in unison]
Brother-in-law... Sister... [in unison]
-I feel shy seeing him in the yellow. -Me too.
I too feel shy as you keep saying so.
Such a great smile, sister.
Is he taking good care of you?
He seems so yellow. He will be taking good care.
-Enough! -Talk something, brother-in-law.
-[making fun] -I am out of here.
Go get him... [in unison]
-Are you escaping without paying? -I don't have the money.
-Pay us... -God! Leave me...
Wait. Stop...
-He's taking it out. -Wait until he take it out.
-God! -You still look handsome.
-Pay us. -No money. Check if you want to.
-Come on. -Nothing in the back pocket too.
Don't move. Wait...
-Got anything? -Look stylish but you have only 5 bucks?
-That's it. -He hid money underground.
-Check everything! [in unison] -God! I am leaving.
-Wait... -Madam, save me.
See, sister. He's running away as we ask for money.
Look so nice. You and your husband should be happy forever.
[blessing]
[religious chants]
Get me the fruits and flowers.
-Unable to reach on call? -No.
-Looks nice. Isn't it aunt? -Yeah.
-Anitha is not here yet? -No. Aunt...
Anitha's phone is not reachable. She said she'll be here by morning.
-She's not here yet. -She need to close the shop and come.
That's why she sent us before her. She'll be here.
-Ramu, park the auto and come. -Ok.
How are you?
-How are you guys? -We are in America just for namesake.
She keeps thinking of you all the time.
No day passed without her thinking about you.
I gave you many troubles. You lost your legs, your father...
You risked your life. How can I ever pay you back?
Calm down. I hope you are happy now.
We are here for our friend's engagement. Let's be happy. Come on.
-Hey... guess who... -Do I look that foolish?
Anitha...
I am not talking to you. So late!
She stays in US and came a day earlier. You stay in the next village but came now?
You should have come after the engagement.
How can it happen without me?
From now on, I'll take care of all the works. Ok?
That one is stained and this is torn.
Not the top, cover your lower.
I'll close the lower, you close the top and leave.
-Do you have the machine, brother? -Which machine?
-Cloth stitching machine. -It's at my house. Come.
-I have a needle. -No needle. I need a machine.
Hey guy, why are you walking like that? Use the washroom.
Not washroom, I want a machine.
-I have a needle. -No needle. I need a machine.
-Get the bride fast. It's time. -Ramu...
-Come in. -Just a second.
-I have a needle. -You keep on saying that. Will you pinch?
-Will stitch. -What?
-Will stitch anything. -Ok, Carry on.
-Why do you move your leg like that. -I can't work without doing that.
-That's why. -Wait, I feel weird.
-God! -Damn! He hit me.
Get the groom.
-Hi Ramu. -Didn't I tell you about Ramu? It's him.
-Hello. -Hello.
Swetcha...
You grew up like sisters. She got you married.
She's also doing everything she can to Swapna.
We thought about Anitha's marriage.
I was about to say the same.
My aunt's son lives in the US.
He's a CA and got settled well.
He saw Anitha's picture in my phone and asked about her.
I told him everything. He felt so bad.
He says he wants to marry her.
If this match happens and I'll take Anitha to US with me.
I'll be so happy then.
I feel like I can pay back a little.
Please think of it.
Son...
Hail the time you came into our lives. You have become family.
You helped us in our bad times and gave us courage.
It's only because of you that Anitha is happy again.
-Will you help me with something? -Do you need to ask?
You know, my husband passed away.
and my son is in the jail.
And my daughter lost her legs. I can't explain my pain.
By the grace of some God, or by the good deeds Anitha did...
She got a nice match from America.
After coming to know this good news, you need to be happy. Not sad.
She's not agreeing to marriage, no matter how many times we ask her.
You need to tell her. Please make her say 'Yes' somehow.
I felt so happy meeting Swapna and Swetcha today.
Yes. It will be more happy if you say 'Yes' to a match.
Ramu, stop the auto.
Ramu, we used to celebrate 'Bathukamma' every year. But...
I thought if we can celebrate this year or not.
We forgot every pain with our friendship.
I feel very happy that this year I'll celebrate with you, Ramu.
Ramu, with whom did you celebrate Bhathukamma festival since your childhood?
Ramu, why don't you talk?
Nothing, madam.
Ramu?
She got a nice match from America.
She's not agreeing to marriage.
You need to tell her. Please make her say 'Yes' somehow.

"What can I even do..."
"You pushed me into deep waters without any support..."
"What can I even do..."
"I left my whole family and become a sage..."
"What can I even do..."
A human will come here only if he's feeling a lot of pain.
And he won't sit here if it's even more than that. What happened, son?
Tell me, son.
I got it.
You can handle an ocean but not a family.
I became a sage after seeing all of that.
Take a puff from this and you'll forget everything.
Take it. It feels good.
Take a puff. Come on.
Come on. It feels great. You'll forget everything.
Take a puff.
That's it. Take another puff. It's a different level. Go on.
[music mutes audio]
No one can hurt you anymore.
"What can I even do..."
"You pushed me into deep waters without any support..."
[phone rings]
Ramu? What happened?
Ramu, get up.
[Ramu groans]
Madam...
I did a mistake, madam. Will never repeat it.
I shouldn't have slapped you. I too feel bad.
Ramu, sit.
-What's all this madam? -Sit down, Ramu.
What's this, madam? I should touch your feet.
Not the other way around.
From the minute I knew sense, after my mother...
No one cared for me this much, madam.
"Collecting all the great flowers..."
"Arranging all those flowers on green leaves."
"Make turmeric powder and add holy water."
"Make the idol of Mother Gowri with tips of fingers."
"In all our eyes..."

"With anklets to the feet and sounds of the drums..."
"We all are playing games for you..."
"The river is asking for the sound of the approaching steps."
"When will all these flowers will get a meaning for their lives..."
"All these colorful arrangements are just for you..."

"In the eyes of our mother village, all the year long..."
"We have been waiting to make new memories."
[people chatter]
-Ramu. -Move!
-Ramu... -Hey, who's that?
-Hey! -Ramu, wait.
This is a caste issue. Will he be calm if lower caste people like you roam with her?
-He took away his sister. -Shut up! He did a lot for the village.
-And do you talk about his caste? -Listen to me...
Ramu, he will kill my daughter.
[Anitha groans]
He married her by force and poster it on FB.
The girl committed suicide unable to take it.
Why did you bring me here? Who the hell are you to me?
You ask me why?
Shameless. You sent me to jail and roaming as you wish. You are defaming our caste.
I did a mistake not killing you when you lost your legs.
-Now I won't leave you. -Who are you to kill me?
-I am living my life. -Then no one cares...
You are roaming with a meaner caste person.
Thupaki Ramu got the Presidential Award.
Thupaki Ramu, who belongs to Peddapalli district, Telangana...
Has risked his life to save the fields and the village...
Central government nominated him for the Best Citizen Award.
Our CM congratulated Ramu, stating that this award is so prestigious for us.
All over the state...
[phone rings]
Brother, Ramu is coming to your village.
Let him come. I'll kill him right at the outskirts
-Where are you going? -Leave her!
Are you even human to hit your own sister? Leave her I say...
Please leave me!
-Ah! -I'll kill him there and you here.
Please... leave me!
You hit a girl? Anitha... Run! Fast!
[coughs]
[groans]
[people shouting]
In unison: Get him!
Stop!
Where will you go?
Eh?
You feel over the moon, just as you have the legs he gave you, don't you?
Yes!
[Anitha groans in pain]
-There he is! -Come on.
-Look around! -Search!
In there!
[punches and kicks]
[indistinctive chatter]
God!
Hey!
Who argues over caste here?
Step ahead, I'll teach each of you a lesson.
Do you fight over castes that were formed long ago based on the occupations?
Come kill me now!
As you keep discriminating on basis of caste...
...and as you all tried to dominate them,
Today all the lower castes formed groups for their self-respect.
This madness is increasing by the day...
and people are being atrocious.
What a miserable a life you live, killing people in the name of caste...
[spits]
Hey... No matter what the caste is...
If any one raises disputes over caste ever again...
-I'll finish them. -Hey!
Why are you watching that low life giving us lectures?
Don't you feel the rush? Are you brain-dead? React!
[crowd rages]
I'll kill anyone who steps ahead!
Are you even a mother? Are you happy now, seeing the whole village spit on me?
Instead of stopping her from going around with a lower caste guy,
-Are you supporting her? Nasty woman! -Hey!
-You moron! Are you even human?
You killed your father in the name of caste, you've hit your wife.
...you are torturing your mom.
How useless your caste is, if it can't even keep your family safe?
With your caste discrimination you made me lose my legs...
Ramu gave me legs and stood by me as a human.
While you tried to kill your own sister...
...Ramu saved me.
Even the whole village said he's a low life, he risked his life and saved them.
The entire country applauded and gave him the Best Citizen award.
People should respect us by our good deeds, but not by our caste.
Realize that at least now.
Stop preaching. You didn't learn your lesson even after you lost your legs.
Listen... I am telling this before everyone...
I consider my caste as the highest.
Even if I die, I'll take birth in the same caste again.
I won't let my good blood mix with this lower caste blood.
My caste is greater than all.
My blood is greater than all.
[Ramu groans]
[groans]
Here is blood from 4 different castes.
If your blood is that great, separate it from this.
What are you staring at? Separate it!
Not just you. No one in this world can.
Not even the people who created these castes can.
Blood is divided by groups, but not castes. You better realize that.
I plead you all swearing on this blood,
It's not people whom we have to kill now. It's the castes.
Just the castes.
Give it a thought...
In the vast history of mankind...
Man is creating many miracles.
But, he's unable to kill the roots of castes and religions.
Let's pluck those poisonous trees by their roots...
And let us do our part to laying the foundation to a new world...
Yours, Rasamayi Balakishan.
THE END
