'DRISHYA'
Ma'am, the police have detained Mr. Rajendra again!
Is it so? - Sir..
The police have detained Mr. Rajendra again! - Is it?
Mr. Kushal, the police have detained Mr. Rajendra again!
The police have detained 'Cable' Rajendra again. - Is it?
The police have detained 'Cable' Rajendra again.
Sir, the police have detained Mr. Rajendra again..
The police have detained our son-in-law again. - Is it?
Where are you going? - I will go and check.
Listen, it's a new police station and so are the policemen.
Let's wait and watch.
David, police have detained your boss yet again.
Is it?
How far is Murnad from here? - Sir, the next stop is Murnad.
Are you new to this village? - Yes. - Who are you looking for?
Hereafter, the villagers would have to come looking for me.
Who are you? - Police.
What?
Sir. - Yes. - This is Murnad. Please get down.
Driver, hold on!
Mr. Chimanna's coffee bags are yet to arrive.
Greetings. Welcome. What would you like to have?
Coffee or tea? - No, thanks. Where's the police station?
Are you a policeman? - Yes, I've been newly appointed.
Come, sir. I will show you.
Sir, the building you see there is the new police station.
It was inaugurated yesterday, sir.
The Home Minister, SP and other high officials were present.
Can you see the building beside the Peepal tree?
That used to be the old police station.
They were on rent there.
They've constructed a new building and have shifted here.
What about your family, sir? - My parents live in my native.
I mean, your wife and kids? - I'm a bachelor.
Whether married or unmarried
all policemen have their meals in my hotel.
What about you? - I'll eat here, too.
I've found a new customer.
All policemen who come to the police station
would certainly ask for Rajendra first.
Has the inspector arrived? - No, what's the matter?
I'm Prabhakar, I've been transferred to this police station.
Where were you posted prior to this?
Bharmagiri, Chitradurga. - Please be seated, he'll come.
Okay.
Hello, Murnad Police Station.
SI is on his rounds, he'll be back in an hour. Okay.
Isn't he Rajendra Ponnappa? - Yes, its him.
He looks innocent. - You're mistaken.
People who know the truth are petrified
and those who don't, are perplexed.
What's the status of his case?
Mr. Rajendra.
Mr. Rajendra!
It's you. - A good chase indeed.
If there were more shots for the hero, it would've been great.
The director isn't creative enough for better shots.
Let's go.
Are you the owner of the cable TV office?
Sir, I'm just an employee here.
He is the owner of the cable TV office.
'Devaru Kotta Thangi' is a sentimental film.
You've edited scenes from the film and added comedy scenes, right?
Yes.. - Our cable TV is more popular than your theatre.
After you had edited the film, it became a hit on TV.
But it became a flop in my theatre, what am I to do now?
One more thing. Do you know who I am?
Are you a politician or a movie star that I should know?
I'm a pimp. - A pimp?
Yes, I'd managed to get a role of a pimp in the film.
But, you've edited the scenes.
Don't worry, I'll add the scenes in the Hindi film, 'Dirty Picture'.
You better stop this malpractice.
If not, I won't spare you.
Beware. Let's go!
Sir, when you have the ability
to turn a flop film into a hit film on TV
why don't you become a director?
Hey, David.
The credit for editing films must go to the theatre operators.
Stop giving me suggestions and give me the money.
Boss, everyone pays the cable TV bill.
However, the Police Constable Surya Prakash doesn't.
That's okay, its wise to stay away from culprits.
I was quiet, but he abused your father.
Didn't you respond?
Of course I did. - Good.
I told him that you yourself don't know who your father is.
Don't you think what I said was right?
Even if someone abuses an orphan like you
it won't make any difference.
He just kept quiet.
Just like this. What do you think?
Take a break. I will teach you later.
Radio Mirchi 98.3 FM, Greetings, Bangalore. I am..
Mr. Bopaiah, could you give me a cup of ginger coffee? - Okay.
Raghu, come here. - What?
Keep this inside and get a cup of ginger coffee. - Okay.
Rajendra. - Were the policemen here?
Yes, they did, except Surya Prakash.
They are waiting for him.
Who are they? - They are farmers.
They had taken a loan from a finance company for farming.
Unfortunately, they've suffered a loss due to lack of rain.
Hence, neither could they pay the interest nor the capital.
Surya Prakash has detained their grandson.
There's a link between the finance company and Surya Prakash.
Why didn't you approach the inspector?
He had threatened to kill the boy if they approach the inspector
and had summoned them here to make a deal.
Why don't you approach the court? - The court will ask for proof.
I'm not sure if it's the police or the finance company
who has detained my grandson.
Sorry for interrupting.
Go ahead.
I believe that if we file habeas corpus, we'll get results.
How? - Dad, everyone knows he has an inclination for this case.
No one knows where Basheer is.
There's a solution to the problem.
Go to a lawyer and file a habeas corpus case.
I will explain it to you.
If a person is missing or has been kidnapped
and if the police are hesitating to file a complaint
you can go to the court and file habeas corpus.
The court will order the police to find the missing person.
Do this, don't go to the court.
I have a friend named Devdas. He's a lawyer.
I will call him, go and meet him.
He will then call Surya Prakash
and ask him if he will handover your grandson
or if he should file habeas corpus.
He will then handover your grandson to you.
You may go now.
I will deal with Surya Prakash.
Don't leave through the main door, Surya Prakash will come. - Is it?
Go through the back door, come. - Okay..
Hello, sir. Come here.
You're the first to address a beggar as sir.
What? - Are you done with your job?
Yes, I'm going home for lunch now.
Are you going to beg for food now?
Homemade food is always safe. It's good for health.
I need your help.
What help? - Come here.
Smoking/tobacco kills.
Alcohol consumption is injurious to health.
Okay. But, will I be allowed inside to have food?
Why do you worry when I'm here?
That's nice. Come on.
Mr. Bopaiah, can he have food here?
Why not? There are people who eat here for free.
He will pay you. - Yes, sir.
Does he accept credit cards? - No, we don't accept card.
What?
Okay, give me the menu card.
Menu card? - Menu.. - Listen to me.
You need to boast in front of Surya Prakash, not him.
Okay. This is a hotel in village and I'm a beggar in the city.
Okay, no problem.
Get me a masala dosa made with olive oil
and chutney made of rotten coconut.
I'll be seated inside. Get it ready.
Mr. Bopaiah, isn't he interesting? He will deal with Surya Prakash.
"My only desire is to have Masala Dosa."
Surya Prakash is coming.
Did anyone come here looking for me?
No.
I see. - He's the one. - They said they'll come here.
What's available? - Idly, vada, dosa.
It's the same menu all the time.
Sir, ginger coffee. - If customers don't pay the bills immediately
how can I make variety of dishes?
Even he doesn't pay the hotel bills immediately.
I clear the hotel bills every week.
You.. - Disgusting.
Who let the beggar inside?
Make him sit outside. Disgusting!
I pay for what I eat.
Me, too.
I've heard about you from people.
You eat in this hotel for free.
Don't you dare say a word anymore.
Put your leg down.
Even I have legs. - Disgusting!
Though I'm a beggar, I do my job sincerely.
The government provides you everything for free.
The government orders you to retire once you've turned 58.
But in my case, nobody compels me to retire or sack me from the job.
We beggars sincerely beg
for money or food from people.
Whereas you extort money from people
and moreover, you abuse them.
You should be ashamed of yourself. - Hey, you..
Shut up!
You extort money from people, shame on you!
You come here and eat for free. You should be ashamed of yourself.
Being a beggar, either I pay for what I eat or I beg for food.
I'm not a freeloader like you.
It's better you die than live off of someone else's money.
Shame on you! - Go away.
He should be punished severely.
Sir, here's Rs. 100. Keep the change as tips.
If you're left with something, offer him half a cup of tea.
Shame on you! - Hey, you! - Hey!
If you come here again, I will shoot you. - Shut up.
I will bring my men. Let me see what you will do.
How much do I owe you? - Rs. 4500.
Deduct that from my commission. - Which commission?
The government has given an order to build a new police station.
It will be built in that place.
The labourers would come to your hotel to eat food.
I'll make sure that you make money, you'll need to pay me commission.
In fact, Rs. 4500 is less, you'll have to pay me extra money.
Hey, bring it.
There are no hotels in this place, they'll have to come here anyway.
However, if the police warn them not to come here
he will suffer a loss.
Hence, he will have to please me by paying a commission.
One sugarless tea.
I heard the construction work
of the new police station starts from tomorrow. - Yes.
Mr. Bopaiah will make good business.
The commission for making good business is also decided.
Commission? For whom?
Where there are good people, there will be bad people, too.
What is the concept of the new police station?
People should have faith as soon as they enter the police station.
But, this isn't happening.
Police must help the people and not trouble them.
Men earn and women spend.
Seeta?
Shreya?
Sindhu?
Where have they gone? I don't see anyone.
Seeta?
Mom, dad has taken the lock.
Mom, dad is closing the door.
He's locking the door, too.
Oh, no! Come here both of you!
Dad! - Dear!
Dad! - Open the door.
Dad, open the door. - We are inside.
Dad!
Dear!
Dad, open the door. - Dear, open the door.
Yes!
That's better. Were you trying to prank me?
Though you had failed the 10th grade, I had passed the 4th grade.
Hence, I'm more intelligent than you.
The supper is ready and their books are open.
Do you think I'm a fool to have missed those?
You only have movies on your mind.
Are you aware that we girls sleep alone at night?
You're so irresponsible.
Girls? - Yes.
Hey, you're a lady.
When you looked at me for the first time, Sindhu was born.
When you looked at me for the second time, Shreya was born.
Now that you're looking at me.. - Go.
Is the hot water ready? - Yes, go and check.
Let's take a shower together. - Oh, no.
Hey.. - Go. Oh, my God.
Where is Shreya?
She's still getting ready, Mom.
Shreya, enough of make-up. Come on.
I'm coming, Mom.
Come, Miss India. Come fast..
Coming, Dad.
Did it rain near your office last night?
No, did it rain here?
Take it. - Put it on my plate. - No.
I had called you several times on your office landline.
But, I was unable to get through.
Even if it drizzles there, the network goes down.
I see. - Dad, why don't you buy a mobile phone?
It's futile. There's no network there, nor here.
Even if there was network, you wouldn't buy it.
You're right.
Well, I'm planning to buy one. - I'm sure it will be a used phone.
You're right.
I had called last night.
Okay.
Won't you ask me why? - I'm not interested.
Movies are your only interest.
You don't love your family.
I do love my family.
Why did you call me?
Please, tell me.
We want to go to Mysuru on saturday for shopping.
Shopping?
We went for shopping just six months ago, didn't we?
The dresses we bought are torn.
So soon? - Yes.
I suggested that we buy clothes from a good shop but you refused.
You asked us to buy it on discount since our kids are growing.
You said we can buy frequently if we buy cheap clothes.
Yes, Dad. You said so.
Did I say so?
Yes, Dad. I heard it too.
Not only shopping
we want to have biryani in a good hotel
and also watch a movie in an air-conditioned theatre.
Mom, ice cream..
This is our plan. - Of course you'll plan.
Men like you who have only work on your mind
will never understand the feelings of women.
They spend their lives between four walls cooking and sleeping.
You have never seen how women in our neighbourhood are.
The duty of a husband is to earn money.
A wife's duty is to look after the family.
I've been taking care of you like you're my queen.
Even I was an orphan like Vishnuvardhan
in the film, 'Jeevana Chakra'. - There he goes again.
I used to deliver newspaper and milk every morning.
I did real estate business.
I gathered every single penny and purchased this 4-acre land.
I've built a small house and started a cable TV office
which is why you're living happily.
I was inspired by a song from the film 'Bangarada Manushya'.
"One can achieve nothing without hard work.." - Dear!
Please stop it. don't talk about films again.
I'm tired of listening to your story.
No matter what you say, we're going for shopping for sure.
All right, let's go. You just want to shop all the time.
I wonder how many saris do women need!
Dear, why are you digging?
It's for organic farming.
Do you know earthworm manure?
Why do you have to do this? Hire some labourers.
They are expensive.
Two hours of hard work will complete the work
and I can save my money, too.
It's good for health as well. - What?
I mean, it's good for plants and trees.
First the multinational companies supply the seeds, then the manure
and have it sold to them at a high price.
Why should we live as slaves?
How do you know so much though you're an illiterate?
We don't gain knowledge only through education.
You learn by observing and doing things.
You will learn everything through experience.
Stop using movie dialogues on me.
Even I have watched the film 'Mathadu Mathadu Mallige'.
All I meant to ask was why work so hard just to save little money.
I was able to buy land and build this house
only after saving money little by little.
Do you know how the land was earlier?
Like Dr. Rajkumar in the film 'Bangarada Manushya'.. - Oh, no!
You just told the same story a while ago on the dining table.
The film 'Bangarada Manushya' was in theatres for two years
but our story is still the same for the last 20 years.
Stop boasting about yourself.
I'm not boasting.
It's the story of an orphan who's hard work brought him success.
You've failed 10th grade and I've passed 4th grade
and you dare to mock at me!
You've been spending my hard earned money on shopping.
You talk like you take me for shopping four times a week.
All right, I won't shop hereafter.
I won't wear clothes hereafter.
What?
What's the matter with you?
I was just imagining.
Imagining what?
You without clothes.. - Stop it.
Don't you have any shame?
It's futile to talk to you. Do as you wish.
Hard work is always rewarded with a good result.
I know, you need not tell me.
He makes excuses all the time.
Sir. - Bring it. - Yes, sir.
The computer section will be over there.
The thickness of the wall will be 9 inches.
And the toilet will be here.
Hey, what are you doing here?
Boss, there's a new police station coming up here.
The man wearing a tie is the engineer. - Oh, is it?
If you had studied well, you could've been an engineer, too.
I've at least studied till 10th grade, you're not even close.
Hey, what are you murmuring? - Actually, boss.
He has studied so much and become an engineer
but he's working under the hot sun while wearing a tie.
I feel pity for him.
All right, collect the money and come to the office. - Okay.
"I swear by Goddess Chamundi, I'm yours."
"I pray that my next birth.." - Welcome, Mr. Hemanth. Greetings.
"...should be in this state." - Greetings. - Tea for one, please.
Raghu, one special tea. - "I will love you all forever."
How many days will it take for the construction work to finish?
Maybe five to six months.
It's a government building.
If we receive money soon, the work will get over soon.
We will benefit if we receive the money soon.
Rajendra, please come here.
He's the contractor for the new police station.
No, sir. I'm the subcontractor.
He's the cable TV operator for this village.
You see that? It's his building and above that, is his office.
He provides the entertainment for this village.
Nothing as such. People put in a lot of effort to make films.
Whereas, I edit the same films and telecast them on cable TV.
One needs to be creative to provide entertainment.
Boss, ma'am had called.
She wants to know whether you'll be staying back in the office.
Inform her that I'd be staying back. - Okay.
Why don't you go home at night?
No, sir. Heavy rains hamper the cable TV network.
So, if I look into the problem myself
there'll be good service and profit too. - You're right.
There's something that Rajendra has not told you.
The men of this village compel him to telecast adult films past 11 pm.
It's not right to badmouth about our own village.
What's wrong. I've said it with pride.
You've spoiled him, too.
This is going to be the most important..
Answer the phone. - Damn it.
It should be regarding a complaint, please answer the phone.
Shut up. It could be my wife.
Even a wife can be like a complaint box.
Answer the phone.
Hello? Yes, tell me.
The movie that you want to watch will start at 9 p.m.
Who was it? What do they want?
It wasn't a complaint.
It was Mr. Sadashiv requesting for an adult film.
He suffered a paralytic attack just three months ago
he wants to watch adult film.
He suffered the paralytic attack only on the left part of the body.
Answer the phone.
Hello? Who is this?
It's me, Lakshmi.
Yes, tell me.
Please play the movie. - Oh, no.
The old men have already requested to play a movie.
Is it? - It will start any moment.
Is it a devotional movie?
No, it's a movie about parents.
Aren't parents considered to be Gods?
I don't know. Let me know the result by tomorrow.
Okay.
Who was it now? - Lakshmi ma'am.
It's a festival today. So, she requested for a devotional movie.
Women are requesting for a devotional movie
and men are requesting for adult film.
Go and play the movie before we get any more calls.
"You drove me crazy.."
Oh, my God.
"My arms are empty without you."
"My eyes yearn for you."
"I'm restless without you."
"My arms are empty without you."
"My eyes yearn for you."
"I'm restless without you."
"You drove me crazy.."
"Every moment without you torments me."
"Your absence burns me with uneasiness."
"There's no peace without you."
"Every moment.."
Hey. - Yes, boss?
I have a severe headache.
I'm heading home. Be watchful.
Okay, Boss.
Thank God. He didn't understand anything.
"I saw something that I wasn't supposed to."
He understood everything.
Boss, has the scene finished?
Mind your work.
Take an auto rickshaw. Don't go by bicycle.
Which scene did you watch? Bedroom or bathroom scene?
How did you get to know?
By seeing your behaviour.
I'm ready
are you prepared, too?
"It's dark, let's go to sleep."
"It's our consummation night today."
It's going to be great fun.
Oh, my God.
Yeah.
You're old now.
Who calls me old? I'm still young.
If you don't feel offended, can I ask you something?
Ask me. I will get you anything you want, darling.
Let's sell the old jeep and buy a new car.
Hey! Take your hands off me!
Only women like you know how to lure husbands.
Don't assume that I'm so weak. I have the power to control myself.
I can be stubborn, too. Get lost.
She's crazy.
Oh no..
I got caught.
I will surely buy you a Maruti car.
However, I have a request.
Can we buy a used car?
No, I want a new one.
Okay.
They switch on lights during daytime too.
They lack common sense.
Dad, you usually don't come home at night.
But, why did you come home last night?
Hey, have breakfast.
When mom called last night, you said you won't come home
then why did you come?
We were planning to buy a new Maruti car.
Yes, were going to book a new Maruti car.
In which showroom? - In Seeta showroom.
Dad, shall we buy an Audi? - Audi?
Yes, Dad. It's a stylish car.
Is it cheaper than a Maruti car?
It will cost Rs. 50 to 60 lakhs.
Oh, my God! Is it made of gold? We just need a car.
A Maruti car is enough for us.
When are you buying the car?
First, have your breakfast. - Can I have some?
Won't you take a bath? - I'm tired.
In that case, you won't go to work today.
I have already lost all my energy last night.
Why do you talk such things in front of the kids?
I'm tired because I came riding a bicycle last night.
Mom, I told you about the nature club camp last night.
Didn't I deny you permission?
This is too bad.
Dad. - Tell me, dear.
There's a two day camp at Sringeri on the 2nd of next month.
There are about 100 students from different schools.
Two students have been selected from my school and I'm one of them.
What is the use of going there?
Study at home instead.
Mom is being unfair, Dad.
Being a bookworm may get you educated
but won't make you knowledgeable and wise.
One can gain them only through interaction with people.
Illiterates like you will never understand that.
There's so much to learn, though nobody here knows enough.
Superb, Dad! - Superb, Dad!
Stop it!
You're intelligent, aren't you?
Give her Rs. 1,800 and send her to the camp.
Rs. 1,800?
Dad?
Is there any use in it?
Please don't change your word.
Okay, go. - Thank you!
Bye, Mom. - Bye, Dad! Bye, Mom! - Bye!
Don't ever talk such things in front of kids.
Sindhu has grown up. She understands everything.
She's still young. Even I was naive at her age.
Thank God. Otherwise, we would've had more kids.
So, I'm late.
"Listen to this wonderful story, my dear"
"Ours is a bond made of happiness."
"The cool breeze is waiting to listen to my story."
"Even the rainbow is very excited."
"Ours is a small story with great feelings."
"Our life is filled with love and affection."
"Listen to the wonderful story."
"Ours is a bond made of happiness."
"We're living an honest life."
"We know no sins."
"We are as naive as a baby."
"Ours is a peaceful family."
"We are God's children."
"We don't change like the seasons."
"Ours is a simple family with a wonderful story."
"Listen to this wonderful story, my dear."
"Ours is bond made of happiness."
"The overflowing river Kaveri dances."
"The nightingale sings."
"The parrots dance."
"seeing our love and affection."
"Our life is peaceful even in a nest."
"We're the talk of the town."
"There's happiness in our life."
Hi, Grandpa! - Hi, Grandma!
Hey, Shreya!
How are you, dear?
I'm fine. How are you? - Dad! - I'm fine too.
Hi, Sindhu! - Grandma, how are you?
Please come inside.
Mom, I have bought this for you.
I already have one. Why did you get this?
That's an old one, Mom. This is the latest model.
It's been a year since we made vermicelli.
Rajendra, why is everyone laughing?
It's nothing father-in-law, just a small joke.
What? - She didn't buy it for mother-in-law.
No.. I have bought it just for my mother.
She bought a new one, though we already have 3 of these at home.
When I yelled at her, she turned it into a gift for her mother.
We don't have one.
Why does she need four of these to make vermicelli once a year?
It's the same in everybody's home.
In fact, even we have three cookers.
One that works and another that doesn't.
The third one is to deck the dining table
when we have guests at home.
She thinks she's very smart. - You're absolutely right.
Nothing as such.
What do you mean? Look here, son-in-law.
Do you see this cement patch?
I had ordered a couple of workers to have this fixed.
He said that he'd do it once the monsoon is over.
I went to the estate
when I returned home at dusk, the crack was fixed.
When I asked the workers why he fixed it without informing me
he said that he fixed it after she had asked him to.
Keep quiet.
Grandpa, what did grandma tell him?
She told him that I'm a 'crack'
and didn't want any more cracks in the house.
She's right. - Brother-in-law, how are you?
Hi, Shekar.
We're meeting after such a long time.
Though I come by in between, I hardly find you here.
Even we hardly get to see him.
He has become an important person in the ruling party.
What's this? - Notice.
Since the case regarding the plot 71/A, 72, 72/A
is being prosecuted
the work at the quarry will be put on hold until further notice.
There is a quarry in Chettalli that is 26 km away from here.
Ever since the construction work has started
there has been contamination of drinking water.
This notice is to put the work on hold.
In fact, it's the MLA who granted permission to start a quarry.
Lately, the owner of the quarry and the MLA have become enemies.
Since the owner of the quarry didn't pay commission to the MLA
the MLA has put the work on hold by giving excuses.
The owner of the quarry has spent plenty of money on the project.
He can do fish farming. We have no objection.
How is it possible to do fish farming in a quarry?
There is a big lake in the quarry with plenty of water in it.
Shekar, I'll get to see you soon in the parliament.
Thank you, Brother-in-law.
Son-in-law, my grandchildren are very fond of bananas.
Father-in-law, but we have it in our farm.
Rajendra.
I've been wanting to speak to you about something important.
What is it?
You never asked me for dowry.
I couldn't afford it at that time.
Father-in-law, it was I who fell in love with Seeta.
I had pestered you to marry her to me.
I'm glad it happened. I'm glad that I have a good family.
I found you in the form of parents.
I also found a good brother-in-law.
I never took you to be my son-in-law.
I see you like my eldest son.
Hence, I wish to do something for you while I'm still alive.
I have a plot of land by the river.
I'm unable to look after it. Shekar is busy in politics.
I'm planning to give it to you.
What's the need, father-in-law?
It's the decision taken by the entire family.
Please, father-in-law. I don't want it.
I know you want to build a theatre in your native land
for which you've been working really hard.
You need not take loan from the bank anymore.
Sell the land and build a theatre.
Did Seeta tell you everything?
What's the fault in it?
Listen, only you've been showering love.
Please give us a chance to express our love too.
Why are you sitting here?
You shouldn't have told your father about my plans to buy a theatre.
Look, don't think that he's doing it for us.
Consider it as a token for the well-being of our kids.
We have certain responsibilities towards their future.
Should I build a theatre with your father's money?
Don't you think it's a bit unfair?
Stop thinking like that.
Even our life will be as bright as the moon.
Let's sell the land and build a theatre.
Later, let's appoint a manager for the cable office
and live in pride as the owner of a theatre.
We will then have to pay the manager.
No, I will look after the office myself.
You're a miser. You'll never change.
I won't change.
Stop!
How dare you stop me from entering my office?
Of course, it's your office, but look what your boy has done.
"To hell with the principal."
"Don't lock horns with me."
"It's our only concern."
Hey!
I'm the owner. I have to play the movie.
How dare you?
Rs. 1,000 for one movie and Rs. 500 for extra sound quality.
The total would be Rs.1,500. Today's collection is great.
There are films for every occasion now.
Who permitted you to play the movie?
Oh, was it him?
He's engrossed in the movie.
"We will ogle at girls."
Why does a dead body need a movie? Does he want to ogle at this state?
Doesn't he have children?
Sir, I'm his son.
Sir, he had died at 4 p.m.
But, my brother is coming tomorrow from Dubai at 4 p.m.
They are already tired of mourning, hence we're watching a movie.
"Live for today.."
Won't they require energy to mourn again tomorrow?
It was also my father's last wish. - Oh, I see.
Hence, we're playing the movie.
Movies are always entertaining.
I want to ask you something, dear.
You and the kids have already spent all my money.
Do you have any new demands? - Yes.
What is this?
You read it yourself.
Yoga and meditation session.
From March 1st onwards, from 8:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
at Sri Prakash Chandra Guruji Ashram, Nanjangud.
I've been longing to go to this meditation centre.
Will you take me there?
I can't come with you, take the kids along.
Come on. - Where, Dad?
Your mother has become fat, she wants to do yoga.
Dad, what is today's protest about?
Your dad doesn't read the newspaper, how would he know?
It's because of the rising petrol price.
Superb, Dad. Mom, my father is intelligent.
You need to have good general knowledge.
Dad, since the petrol price has gone up
don't excuse yourself from buying a Maruti car.
Even though the price has gone up, your father will surely buy it.
Why do you say so?
Anyway you're going to leave the car in the shed, I'm sure.
All right.
Didn't you take Rs. 1,800 for the nature camp?
You haven't told us anything about it.
It was great, Dad.
During the day, we were taught on how to protect nature.
At night, we had campfires. We used to sing and dance.
What's a campfire?
Your dad's uneducated. Explain it to him properly.
Do you know?
Sitting around firewood that is lit up
is called a campfire. - What did you do there?
I sang songs.
English songs? - Kannada songs.
Some of them sang English songs. They were from Bangalore.
They came from rich families, Mom.
One of them was a builder's son and another was an IG's son.
He always took girl's pictures.
Did he take your picture? - Yes.
Did you pose?
No, he kept taking pictures.
Why didn't you stop him? - He never listens to anyone.
However, he gave up after a girl complained against him.
You never learn, do you?
Do you know many girls have committed suicide
because of their obscene pictures?
Mom, we take pictures in the studio too.
Silly, that's an ordinary camera.
Obscene pictures are shot in mobile phones.
Mom, one would take normal pictures even in mobile phones.
It's morphed in a computer. It's just a technique.
Dad, mom thinks that whatever she says is correct.
She's an illiterate, she'd never understand.
I'm glad that intelligent people like you are with me.
Everything is broken.
The entire floor needs to be plastered.
It has been like this for days.
Workers refused to fix it since it's petty work.
Hence, I couldn't put the place on rent.
Don't worry. It's a small job. I'll do it for you.
Please send your workers in and get it finished soon.
Today, we'll finish the ceiling of the police station.
We'll cement the floor on monday.
After that, we'll take up your work.
Thank you, sir.
All right, I shall leave then.
I will come along, let's have tea together.
Hello! Contractor!
How much do I owe you?
Didn't I take away your money? I've come to repay it.
If you complain to the Inspector, do you think he'd hang me to death?
Don't listen to others and mess with me.
Fifty percentage of the commission goes to him.
No one can stop me.
Mend your ways. Otherwise, I won't spare you.
We know that Inspector Ravi Shankar is an honest man.
He's not a corrupt man like you, who takes bribes.
Hey, why is it bothering you when I'm talking to him?
Yes, I do get upset.
I like to put sense into people.
Come on, teach me a lesson then.
I will surely teach you a lesson someday.
How dare you? - Sir, stop it! Let go of him!
Calm down.
Rajendra, I'll surely teach you a lesson someday.
He couldn't do anything.
Sir, why did you fight with him on my behalf?
He's a policeman. Why do you fight with him?
I'm innocent. Why should I get scared of him?
I have never committed a crime, nor will I ever.
Hence, I don't fear anybody.
"Something has happened to me. I don't know, what it is."
Can't you see that a car's coming? - Can't the driver see me?
You have become very naughty.
Sister, I'll go home. I'm hungry, I want to eat.
"Googly is my love's name. Googly.."
Hi, Sindhu. Do you remember me?
Aren't you Tarun?
Thank God, you remember me. How lucky am I?
What are you doing here?
I'm actually here to see you.
Do you live here?
Yes, that's my house. - Oh, nice.
Mom, I'm hungry. Give me something to eat.
Just a minute, dear. Did you bring all the vegetables?
Yes, sister is bringing them.
There's 'Upma' over there. Please have it.
Shreya, where is your sister?
You said that she's on the way. Why hasn't she come yet?
We came together till Mr. Lakshman's house.
But, I had rushed home from there.
Sindhu?
Where is she?
Si.. - Mom, the vegetable bag is on her bed.
Mom, look.
Give it, Mom.
Sindhu?
Are you there? Open the door.
I'm freshening up. - Sindhu?
I'm coming, Mom.
I called you many times. Why didn't you respond?
She must be using the Walkman.
She'll forget the entire world when she's using her Walkman.
I have served coffee. Come and have it.
Okay, Mom.
I got scared for a while.
Don't be afraid.
Nobody has seen it except myself. Nobody will ever see it.
That's not all.
I will also delete it right before you.
However, you'll have to do as I say.
I need to speak to you.
I'll be in your backyard at 12 a.m. You must join me.
I won't come. - Sindhu.
Don't cry, dear. I'm not here to make you cry.
If I really wanted to trouble you, I would've showed it to my friends.
I would've posted it on the internet as well.
But I didn't do so. That's because I love you so much.
So you must meet me at 12 a.m. tonight.
No, I won't come.
If you don't, I'll post this on the internet.
I'm not responsible if the dignity of your family gets tarnished.
If you cooperate, it will remain a secret.
If you tell your parents about it, I'll post this on the internet.
You must come, darling.
Sindhu.
Why didn't you have coffee?
Drink milk, at least.
No, Mom. My head is aching. I'll sleep for a while.
You put on the earphones and always listen to music.
Shall I get you a pill?
No. I'll be all right if I get some sleep.
I have made rasam. Have your dinner and sleep.
Do you know what time it is?
It's raining heavily.
There will surely be complaints regarding the network today.
You can never talk good, can you?
I have some work, may I go home?
Why do you wear black when you're already dark?
It's dark outside. Take an umbrella and go carefully.
Thanks. - Don't go after some woman.
Tarun, please don't.
Don't, Tarun.
You made a grave mistake, Sindhu.
You're still unaware of the seriousness.
You will realize it now.
Please don't trouble me.
I didn't want to trouble you, but you betrayed me.
You will pay a price for it.
You will surely pay a price for it.
Listen, we are poor people.
Dignity is everything to us.
You have a family too.
Think of her as your sister. Please don't ruin her life.
It's you who ruined everything, not me.
Take a look.
Since you have interfered, I've showed it to you.
From tomorrow, the entire world will watch it.
Please don't do it. If you do that, we will die.
Oh, all right. I will delete it.
But your daughter has to be with me.
If not, I'll show it to everybody.
No, I won't let you do that! I won't!
Hey, let go! - Hey!
Let go! - Hey!
Please don't ruin my daughter's life.
I beg of you.
Please! Our honour means everything for us.
Please don't ruin her life.
All right. I'll let her go.
But you must sleep with me instead.
What do you say? Will it be her or you?
If you're willing, I will delete this video.
If not, I'll telecast it worldwide.
Who has entered the house with such dirty feet?
Sindhu?
Shreya?
Here they go again.
Dad? - Dad?
What happened, dear? Tell me, what happened?
What happened? Tell me, what happened!
Tell me, what happened?
Please! Our honour means everything to us.
Please don't ruin her life.
All right, I'll let her go.
But you must sleep with me instead.
What do you say? Will it be her or you?
If you're willing, I will delete this video.
If not, I'll telecast it worldwide.
Hey!
Oh, no! Hey!
Sindhu?
He's not breathing.
Tarun?
What happened?
I'm unable to get through to dad. The line is dead.
What do we do until morning?
Come with me.
Mom?
Go and get the spade!
Sindhu, what are you waiting for? Put the mud on.
What do we do now?
I don't know.
I'm trembling with fear.
I wasn't so scared while we were burying him.
I've no idea from where I got the courage.
Have we done something wrong?
No, whatever you did was right.
If we had informed the police, maybe we wouldn't be upset.
He's the IG's son. They would've ruined our family.
What about our daughter's future?
But I'm unable to overcome the fear.
Don't be afraid.
We have not caused harm to anyone.
I won't tolerate it if anyone troubles my family.
Dad? I found this in the room. - What is this?
This must be his car keys.
It must be somewhere around. We must look for it at once.
It's a yellow car, Dad.
Did you find anything else in the room?
I didn't check it thoroughly.
Where did he lay dead? - Here.
Hadn't you hit him on the head?
However, I don't see any blood stains here.
He must've suffered an internal injury.
We must clean this immediately. Go and get a polythene bag. - Okay.
Here you go, Mom.
There's the SIM.
No, don't touch it.
We need to trace the number.
Check the number.
The mobile number is.
Trace the call at the earliest. Get your best men on the job.
Let me trace it.
We can easily get the details if we trace the number.
The call duration.
In which place was the second cell phone deactivated?
Nobody should step out of the house until I've returned.
Don't let the neighbours inside the house.
People should feel that there's nobody in our house.
Where are you going?
I have to dispose of the car.
Come soon, we can't stay without you.
I'll be back before nightfall. Go and fetch my bag.
Why are you crying? If there's anything, tell me.
I'm scared of going to jail.
You won't go to jail. It won't happen as long as I'm alive.
I promise you.
Sir, this is all I have. Please take it.
This isn't enough.
If you had come to the police station yesterday
I would've charged you with only Rs. 300.
Since I've come to you, you need to pay me Rs. 600.
This is a passport verification.
If you want to go to Singapore, you need to bribe me.
Just a minute, sir. Dad!
How much is it? - Rs. 200.
Dad. - Here's Rs. 100.
I need a share too. - I'm coming.
It's him. Oh, my God.
Is he your father?
Then, you'll have to pay an extra Rs. 1,000.
Sir, please. My son is a good student.
He wants to pursue education in Singapore.
I won't be able to pay you Rs. 1,000.
If you can't pay, I'll tear up the verification form right here.
Please don't do that, sir.
You still haven't forgotten about the incident
that took place in the tea stall, have you?
It was Rajendra who provoked me to do so.
Who's that?
Isn't that Rajendra Ponnappa?
Maybe, sir.
Where is his house?
Do you see the coffee estate there? - Yes. - It belongs to him.
Yes, this is Chandrashekar speaking.
No, there are no changes.
The board meeting will start at 12 p.m.
Okay, that's good.
'The number that you're trying to call is switched off'
'or not reachable right now.'
Where has Tarun gone?
His number is switched off all the time.
That's because he's scared of you.
He switches off his phone only because of your constant calls.
I have told you many times not to disturb him.
Give him some freedom or else he will rebel.
He's spoiled because we've given him freedom.
There should be a limit for everything.
He has crossed all limits.
He has all the modern facilities which can spoil a teenager.
Laptop, internet connection, car and credit card.
Why does a student need all this?
Last month his expenditure had gone up to R. 50,000.
That's because he bought clothes and shoes last month.
He had showed me the bills as well.
He's misusing your love and freedom but you don't understand it.
I have seen the bills as well.
It says six pants, six shirts and two pairs of shoes.
But there are only two pants, two shirts
and one pair of shoes in his room.
That's a fake bill.
What did he do with the rest of the money?
It means he's on a wrong path.
Did you check his room again? - Yes.
That's why he has left home.
You don't value his privacy. That's why he hates you.
Why should there be privacy between parents and children?
Privacy is for those who do wrong.
You don't understand. Damn it!
No, sir. I'm flying to Delhi by the evening flight.
It's just a two-day meeting.
Okay. Thank you, sir.
Yes, sir.
I need a fully charged used phone.
Buy a new one, sir. It's good.
No, I only need a used phone.
Here you go. It has good battery back-up.
How much is it? - Rs. 800.
Please insert this SIM in it. - Okay.
Here.
Please reduce the volume.
'The person you're calling is not answering.'
I've been longing to go to Prakash Guruji's meditation centre.
Excuse me! Move your car!
There is a quarry in Chettalli that's 26 km away from here.
There is a big lake and there's plenty of water in it.
Why are you so late? I thought you wouldn't come today.
Where is the collection money? Is it in the drawer? - Yes.
I'm going out of town for two days.
Look after the office.
Where are you going?
My family and I are going to Nanjangud for meditation.
Meditation? - Yes.
My wife has been longing to go there.
Are you going through any problem?
No. Why do you ask?
I'm noticing changes in your behaviour.
There are no changes in my behaviour.
But if I find out that you have not paid attention in office work
you will then notice changes in my behaviour.
That's like my boss. - Bye.
Seeta? - It's Dad.
What happened?
Dad, we were really scared during your absence.
Dad, please don't leave us and go.
I won't go anywhere. I'll be right here.
What did you do with the car?
I've disposed of the car. Don't worry.
What did you do with the car?
I have to take a shower, get me the towel. - Dear..
Yes. - Aren't you scared?
Why?
Tarun.
Who's that?
Dad, have you forgotten about Tarun?
There was no one here by that name and we didn't see any such guy.
Hereafter, this should be your reaction.
There should be no fear or changes on our faces.
Only a while ago, I realised that it could land us in trouble.
Seeing my behaviour
the employee in my office got suspicious.
When a normal person can make out the difference
others can too.
Did he get suspicious about you?
Yes, but when I spoke to him normally, he kept quiet.
Even you have to be normal hereafter.
Dad, what about the car?
One more thing.
There are certain things you need to keep in mind
and there are certain things that you shouldn't.
Don't worry unnecessarily.
We're going out of town tomorrow.
If people ask, tell them that we're going to a yoga camp for two days
for peace of mind.
Dear, the yoga camp got over yesterday.
Mr. Rajendra, are you going on a family trip?
Yes. Is it your own bus? - Yes, it's a used bus.
Give me four tickets for Nanjangud.
I can never take money from you.
Are you going to your relatives house in Nanjangud?
No, we're going for a yoga camp.
Happy journey.
Ticket! Buy ticket!
"God, listen to me."
"This is injustice."
"Look at our state with wide open eyes."
"Man prays to God during the times of sorrow."
"But if God grants sorrow, what will he do?"
"God, listen to me."
"It is right to kill the insects that destroy a tree."
"It is wrong to harm innocent beings."
"Animals don't hunt animals."
"But why do humans kills humans?"
"When the string becomes weak."
"The necklace breaks."
"A creator can never become a destroyer."
What are you looking at?
I'm trying to forget but I'm unable to.
You must forget everything.
Even a single evidence can prove us guilty
and that's what I'm scared of.
I'm trying really hard to save you.
Please have faith in me. Do what I say.
"God, listen to me."
"This is injustice."
Please connect me to the cyber cell.
"Bad people feel happy seeing you grieve. It's a bad era."
"Good people are always in sorrow."
"Grant us the courage to overcome all difficulties."
"Whoever comes before me, I become restless."
"There's only sorrow."
"There's no happiness."
"Please save us from all troubles."
Tarun's mobile number
was traced in Madikere, Shimoga, Hubli, Kolhapur, Pune
and finally Y. P. Nagar in Mumbai.
It's an industrial area. It has been switched off there.
I do remember him telling about his friends in Mumbai and Goa.
If so, he must've gone on a tour with them.
"God, listen to me."
"This is injustice."
"Man prays to God during the times of sorrow."
"But if God grants sorrow, what will he do?"
"God, listen to me."
The car must've drowned in the water many days ago, isn't it?
Yes, ma'am. About two or three weeks ago.
Who had seen it?
The local boys had seen it while they were swimming.
Later, they had informed us.
Excuse me, did you search the pond?
Yes, sir. However, we haven't found anything.
There's nothing to worry about.
Mr. Shridhar Murthy. - Yes, ma'am?
Wrap it up before the media arrives.
Sure, ma'am.
Ma'am, the last call to Tarun's number
was on March 1st at 7:18 p.m. from 9448072505.
It's been reported that the network is from Murnad near Madikere.
The mobile was switched off at 12:00 a.m.
and it was switched on, on March 2nd at 10:15 a.m.
Finally, it was switched off in Mumbai.
So the investigation must start at Murnad station
and the spot where the car was found.
We must find out whom Tarun last spoke to.
Okay, ma'am.
Yes, send him in.
Ma'am, the money was withdrawn on 1st March at 10:00 a.m.
at an ATM near Murnad, from the account number provided by you.
What was the amount? - Rs. 20,000.
Rs. 20,000? Why did he need so much money?
The phone used on the 1st of March
is not the same that was used on the 2nd of March.
The IMEI numbers are different.
He must've withdrawn money to buy a new phone.
There's no chance.
Tarun bought a new phone just a couple of months ago.
Roopa.
I think our son is in trouble.
Hey, what's this? - It's the village tax.
I'm aware of that. Why haven't you paid it yet?
It's been three weeks since I've asked you to pay it.
I don't think so. - I see.
I asked you to pay it the day after I returned from the yoga camp.
His name is Tarun Chandrashekar.
He's the son of Roopa Chandrashekar who's our IG.
He's missing.
Here are the telephone records which proves
that he was in our police station limits. This is his car.
KA 01 CA 7209. It's a Maruti Zen.
It was found in a quarry in Chettalli.
Ranga, how is your child?
He's fine. He'll be discharged tomorrow.
Give me Rs. 100. - Sir, I have no money.
Hey, come on. - Please sir.
You've got Rs.20. - That's all I have. - Get going.
He's so cruel.
Give me half a pack of cigarettes.
Sir, would you like some tea?
No. I've got an interesting case.
We're after the culprit. - What's the case?
I will tell you.
We have found a yellow coloured Maruti Zen in the quarry.
Which quarry?
It was found in Chettalli.
But why has the case been filed in this police station?
You're mistaken.
We received orders from IG's office
to find out if anyone knows about the car.
They make orders
but we're the ones to solve the case.
Sir? - Yes.
Why are you paying me?
I just felt like doing so.
Don't be stubborn. Keep your grudges to yourself.
There's a reason for everything.
Sir, I saw him drive the car.
Now, he was shocked when I spoke about the car.
Sir, he is related to the case.
Wait and watch. If he's guilty, he'll turn back and look at us.
What do you say now?
How is the IG's son and Rajendra Ponnappa related?
Sir.
Suspecting Rajendra Ponnappa is utter stupidity.
It's the grudge that Surya Prakash has on Rajendra Ponnappa.
Perhaps
Surya Prakash must've taken some other person to be Rajendra.
Sir, Mr. Rajendra Ponnappa is a very good man.
I know about Rajendra Ponnappa.
But Surya Prakash seems to be very sure that it was him.
Come in.
Sir, I'd been to Lingaraju's house
for passport verification on 2nd March, Sunday at 7:30 a.m.
I had seen Rajendra the same day.
Look, there's entry in my diary.
Shreya. Sindhu.
Where were we on Saturday, March 1st?
We were at a yoga camp in Nanjangud.
When did we come back?
The next day, Sunday.
When? - In the evening.
Where was the camp? - In Nanjangud.
Where in Nanjangud?
Prakash Chan..
At Prakash Chandra Guruji's Ashram.
Where did the meditation take place in the ashram?
In the main hall of the ashram.
What's going on? Are the police coming?
They will surely come.
But I'm not sure when they'll come.
If they arrive late, it's good for us.
You need not be afraid of anything.
Neither are they aware of what's happened to the boy
they have no evidence either.
They might do anything to prove us guilty.
They will pretend
they'll threaten us in order to learn the truth from us
they may beat me and your mother.
If they fail, they will go back.
So, we must be together in this.
We should be firm with our statements.
Dad? Will they beat you?
Don't be afraid.
Don't we beat you when you make mistakes?
I'm scared, Dad.
Don't be afraid.
Go and sleep.
Goodnight.
If we say that we had been there on Saturday, will they believe us?
People would've seen you in the office or in the tea stall.
Yes, absolutely.
Then, how can we make them believe?
Unfortunately, we have landed in trouble.
We are left with just two options.
Either confess to the crime or confront the circumstances.
We didn't kill him intentionally.
So, I don't feel like surrendering.
Let's face it.
I don't know if we'll win or lose.
However, no matter what happens
I won't let you and the kids go to jail.
I'm not sure if it was Rajendra.
Didn't you tell me that it was him?
You asked me if it was Rajendra and I said it might be.
I didn't confirm that it was Rajendra.
Sir, they are partners. I suggest that you ask him.
Tell me. - I'm not sure.
I don't think it was Rajendra.
Was this the car?
Well, it's the same colour
but I'm not sure if it's the same car.
And you?
I didn't see the number but it's the same colour.
Sir, there are many similar cars in the town.
The colour of the Auditor's car is yellow.
The bank manager's car is yellow.
My family doctor's car.. - Enough!
Stop it. - I thought you had mistaken.
We will decide that. - All right. - Shut up.
Mr. Srinivas, did you receive the fax?
Yes, sir. It's from the IG's office.
IG's son had been to nature club camp last month.
Two girls from General Thimaiah Public School of Murnad
had also been to the same camp.
One among them was Rajendra Ponnappa's daughter.
Her name is Sindhu.
Sir, I told you so.
What are we waiting for?
Let's take Rajendra into custody and he will reveal the truth.
No.
It must be confidential.
Excuse me, ma'am? - Yes?
Sindhu, you're needed by the principal.
Okay, ma'am.
The only way the police can hold us guilty is the fear in us.
So, forget everything and be casual and normal.
The police doesn't know what had happened in our house.
They will create situations and lies and come looking for us.
Don't say that you don't know who Tarun is.
However, don't confess that you saw him in the town.
May I come in, ma'am? - Yes, come in.
Yes, ma'am?
Sindhu, he's Inspector Ravi Shankar.
He wants to speak to you.
Are you Rajendra Ponnappa's daughter?
Yes, sir.
Do you know him? - He's Tarun.
How do you know Tarun?
I saw him in the state level nature camp last month.
Do you know anything else about him?
I know that he's IG's son.
Did he tell you that?
No, sir. People around told me.
Do you only know each other or was there anything more?
We've just seen each other.
I just knew him like every other person in the camp.
I see.
You say that you don't know him well but you remember his name.
Tarun was famous in the camp.
There were several issues against him.
What issues?
He used to take everybody's photos in the camp.
It became an issue when he took the photo of a lawyer's daughter.
Did you see him in the town after the camp?
No, sir.
Why, sir? Is there any problem?
I was told that you had seen him.
Who? Tarun?
Yes.
No, sir. He's lying.
Did Tarun come to your house on the 1st of this month?
To my house? - Yes. - No, sir.
What was the date again?
Well.
On the 1st of March. Am I clear to you?
We were not in town that day.
Where were you then?
We were at a yoga camp in Nanjangud.
Who all were there with you?
My family and me.
When did you come back? - The following evening.
Was the yoga camp only for two days?
No, sir. The camp was for one day.
But we stayed back at night
watched a movie and returned the following day.
Sir, what's the matter?
This boy is missing.
Also, we have proof that he was in our town on March 1st and 2nd.
As they know each other
we were here to find out if he was here to meet her.
No, sir. I haven't seen Tarun after the camp.
That's it. Thank you. - You're welcome, sir.
You're Rajendra Ponnappa's wife, right?
Yes.
What brings you home unexpectedly?
That's because unexpected people are home.
Sir, Sindhu's principal informed her about your visit to the school.
So, she got scared and called me.
I phoned the police station and learned that you were coming here.
So, I came home.
What's the problem, sir?
Nothing, we wanted to speak with you.
Can we talk inside?
Have you seen this boy?
No.
What about you?
No, sir.
Have you seen this car anywhere?
No.
No, sir.
Mr. Rajendra, let us talk freely.
Yes, sir. That will be good for us too.
Good.
Tarun Chandrashekar, IG Roopa Chandrashekar's son
has been missing for 25 days.
Last month
he met your daughter at the nature club camp.
I have proof that this Maruti Zen had been here.
It was found in the quarry at Chettalli last week.
There are two reasons which has brought us here.
One reason is that your daughter knows Tarun Chandrashekar.
the other reason is that Mr. Surya Prakash here
had seen you driving this car.
Am I right?
Do you remember your friend, the beggar?
I was at his house to verify his son's passport.
That's when I saw you driving away in this Zen car.
I got to know something.
Tarun had come here and that's why his car was here.
Sir, we were not in town on March 1st.
We'd been to a yoga camp and came back on the 2nd.
This is enough, sir. We won't require more evidence.
If you smile, the facts won't change, Rajendra.
Your family is mentioning dates
even before we could mention the date we saw you driving the car.
Why are you laughing, Mr. Rajendra? Do you mean he's lying?
I'm not mocking the police.
Look at her, she's still panicking.
She doesn't even know what's going on here.
The principal had phoned and had told her
about the interrogation you had conducted in the school.
Hence, she spoke up even before you could ask anything further.
Fearing that the dignity of the school might be affected
the principal got confused and that got her confused too.
Forget all that.
You didn't answer when Surya Prakash
asked you about driving the car.
It's futile, sir. - Why?
Surya Prakash has always hated me
and everybody knows that.
Hence, he won't believe anything that I say.
I'm not concerned about your relation with him.
I'm here to know the truth.
I will tell you, sir. He's lying.
He must've seen somebody else.
From the 1st of March, 8:00 a.m.
to the 2nd of March, 5 p.m. we were in Nanjangud.
So.. - No, sir. I'm sure it was him.
Now, tell us everything you did
from 1st March till 2nd March, until you returned home.
We left in a private bus at 5:30 a.m.
It was raining heavily while on your way back home, right?
Yes, sir.
My wife and kids fell ill after getting drenched in the rain.
The kids didn't go to school for two days.
After seeing bills for everything, I sense a foul play.
For the first time, I'm seeing a person
who has even kept bus tickets safely.
We are a middle class family.
I don't get to earn extra money like others.
When we learn that the expenses are going to be more
we try to cut down our expenses.
Hence, we keep a track on every single rupee that we spent.
What is the total dimension of this land, Mr. Rajendra?
Four acres, sir.
Okay. Let's go.
I'm a fool, I mentioned the date even before they could ask me.
Since you showed them enough proof
they would've believed you, right?
He has strong proof.
I questioned them believing your words. I'm such a fool.
Sir, I'm telling the truth.
If we take him into custody, he will reveal the truth.
Let's inform the IG first.
Nonsense. - Sir?
Please do as I say.
Let's find out the truth from him and then inform the IG.
Dad? - Yes.
Will the police be back again?
Yes, they will.
What is his name? - Rajendra Ponnappa, ma'am.
Was he the one who drove the car? - Yes, ma'am.
Are you sure it was my son's car?
I don't know the car number but the colour was same.
But they say they were not in town on March 1st and 2nd. Is it true?
They are lying, sir.
They have proof too. - That's right, sir.
However, we are uncertain since it is yet to be validated.
It's not a big deal.
After all, he's a normal, uneducated village man. - Ma'am..
He can never outsmart us. - Ma'am, well..
Let's not waste time talking.
I want him and his family here tomorrow morning. Got it?
Okay, ma'am.
There's no need for a protocol. I can take care of myself.
Okay, ma'am.
Mr. Bopaiah! - What?
Police have detained Rajendra and his family.
How did you go to Nanjangud?
We left in a private bus at 5:30 a.m.
Why didn't you buy tickets?
The owner of the bus is my husband's friend.
He didn't take money nor give us tickets despite of us insisting.
What time did you go to the meditation centre?
At 8:30 a.m. The meditation had already started.
We went there at 8:30 a.m.
The meditation had already started.
What time did you go to the meditation centre?
There might be a problem even if our answers are the same.
For example, consider the time.
Your mother and I would mention the correct time.
Since you both are kids
it's alright to mention it incorrectly.
I'm not sure of the time
however the meditation had already started upon our arrival.
You went to Nanjangud for meditation. - Yes.
When did the meditation start?
The meditation had already started upon our arrival.
However, your parents said that it was late by half an hour.
The police will twist and turn the same questions and confuse you.
You'll have to make sure that you understand the question
and then answer without getting confused.
No, ma'am. Meditation had already started prior to our arrival.
Open the gate! - We won't open the gate!
Try to understand! Don't push! - Open the gate!
Get going from here. - They are not letting us inside!
Open the gate. - What's going on?
It's my daughter and her family that's inside.
Open the gate. - I can't let anyone inside
without the permission from the higher official.
We then had lunch. - In which hotel?
I don't know the name of the hotel.
At least, do you remember what you had? - Biryani.
Did all of you have Biryani? - Yes.
Why does your sister say that all of you had fried rice?
The police will try to confuse you by lying.
You mustn't change your answers at any cost.
Maybe she has forgotten about it. All of us had biryani.
I remember it very well.
Mr. Ravi Shankar. - Yes, ma'am?
Hello. What? No! Who said so? It's a lie.
Nothing, I'm in a meeting, I'll call you later.
Bye.
It was a call from a channel.
The person is asking if we've arrested a family for interrogation
regarding our son's missing case.
Just leave it!
Mr. Ravi Shankar. - Ma'am? - What do you think about it?
Well, it is not as easy as we think it is.
They are really tough.
They are giving same answers.
They are also firm with their answers.
Especially, the little girl. She's tremendous.
That's it.
Since the statement given by the little girl is quite strong
don't you think it's unusual?
I feel the same too.
What if they are telling the truth
and you're misunderstanding them?
No way.
I'm sure about one thing. They know something about Tarun.
What about their statements?
It's a cooked up story! It's a made up story.
But it won't sell here.
Ma'am, we know that they're lying.
Let's put them through a lie detector test.
Who gave you the job of a policeman?
We cannot perform it whenever we want to.
We will need an order from the court.
Then let's get it.
See, Chandra, if the accused was really lying
we will have to provide evidence to the court.
However, in this case, there's no evidence against them.
I have an idea to find out the truth about their story.
Bring all those who are part of their story.
Yes, ma'am. - One more thing.
If he'd not gone for the camp on March 1st
then he must've been in the town.
He must've surely gone to office.
Are there any other places he often goes to?
Yes, ma'am.
He regularly comes to the tea stall opposite to the police station.
Very good.
Bring in his office staff and the tea vendor immediately.
Done. - And one more thing.
They should feel that we have believed what they said.
Got it? - Sure, ma'am.
To be honest, I was scared in front of the police.
But God saved us. Everything is over.
Seeta.
Nothing is over yet.
The police will come again.
Will they come again? Why?
Why aren't you telling me the real problem?
Shekar.
There'll be certain things in every family that cannot be discussed.
Please don't ask anything.
However, I need a favour from you.
Please tell me, brother-in-law. What should I do?
I've known Rajendra from a very young age.
He's innocent and a very good man.
I'm not asking for his character certificate.
I just need an appropriate answer for our questions.
On the 1st of this month
how many times did Rajendra come to your tea stall?
He usually visits twice a day.
Once in the evening for tea and once for dinner at night.
Sometimes he doesn't come at night.
Hey! Just answer the question.
On March 1st, how many times did Rajendra come to your tea stall?
On March 1st, he had come twice.
No, I'm wrong.
On March 1st, he was out of town.
He'd been to a meditation centre in Nanjangud.
But that's not what you said earlier.
Forgive me, sir. I remembered suddenly.
Rajendra spoke about the meditation last week.
What did he say about it?
For a man to resolve a problem
he needs to be patient.
But if he's patient and calm
he can resolve any kind of problem.
When did Rajendra Ponnappa return from the meditation centre?
The following day. - What time? - I don't know.
He didn't come to the office that day.
Do you know him?
Yes, I do. - Did he travel in your bus lately?
Yes, about four to five days ago.
Has he travelled prior to that? - I guess on the 1st of this month.
Which place did he say he was travelling to?
He said he was going to some meditation centre in Nanjangud.
Damn it.
We want a double room.
Sir, it's Rs. 750, plus tax.
It doesn't look like a family lodge.
Shall we look for another lodge?
Ma'am, there are families staying here.
Come, I'll show you the room.
Is he your regular customer? - No, sir.
Then, why do you remember him so well?
After I showed them the room, they agreed to stay.
When did they take the room? - I don't remember.
Did he mention why they were in Nanjangud?
No, sir.
There must be an entry in the ledger, didn't you check?
They maintain two ledgers.
One of them has Rajendra Ponnappa's details.
They checked in on March 1st at 6:15 p.m.
and checked out on March 2nd, the next day morning.
Two ledgers? Why?
One for those who ask for bill
and another for those who don't.
How do you remember them so well?
How could I forget a good customer like him?
Are you the owner of the hotel? - Yes, sir. Why?
The biryani was delicious, sir.
This is the best biryani we've ever had apart from homemade biryani.
Oh, thanks a lot, sir.
That's not all, you have also maintained the hotel very well.
You not only remember the customer
but you also remember when and why he was there.
It's surprising.
Well, he had told about it.
As a good businessman, how could anyone forget a good customer?
Hey, get out!
Are you mad?
If they were at home on March 1st and 2nd
how did people see them in Nanjangud?
I feel Rajendra Ponnappa is telling the truth.
He's the one lying. - No, ma'am. I'm not lying.
I did see him that day.
If I'm proved wrong, I'll quit my job.
Did you contact the guru who had organised the meditation?
Yes, ma'am. He'd been to Mumbai. He must be back now.
Get him on the phone line.
After hearing what you've said, I feel they might've come here.
Since they have told you what I'd preached that day
I'm sure they were here.
The message that I had given that day
was never preached by me earlier.
So, they must have come here.
Anyone who might've attended it could've told them, isn't it?
There are no chances that someone would've told it to them in detail.
Thank you, Guru.
Mom. - Yes, dear?
Where is Dad and Shreya?
I'm planning to open a theatre in my hometown.
Go ahead.
In a digital projector, there won't be any issues with light or sound.
You needn't install carbon as well.
The maintenance is also less. - Dad, here are the tickets.
She's my wife. That's my daughter. - Greetings. - Greetings.
Do you remember when he had come there?
On the 2nd of this month.
How are you so sure?
Sir, he came to the projector room and spoke to me.
He told me about the meditation camp and also about his stay.
Hey! Just get lost!
Is the investigation going on the right track?
I think so.
How is that we haven't found a single evidence so far?
Everything's in their favour.
I'm not judging it based on the evidence
but his behaviour
and the way he talks.
The police can find out whether he's lying or telling the truth.
We are trained for that.
The evidence maybe in his favour
but he's lying. I can feel it.
Or maybe I'm making these assumptions
because I have lost my son.
I think I've underestimated him.
He's not a fool.
He's very smart.
According to our report
Rajendra Ponnappa has been staying here for 35 years now.
He has prospered in life through various businesses.
Though he has the education of only a 4th grade student
he can speak Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, English
along with Kannada.
Interestingly, he learned all these languages only by watching movies.
Yes, ma'am. He's crazy about movies.
There's no movie that he hasn't watched.
It's surprising to know
that an ordinary man is living a life like this.
Cinema. It's an important link.
You meet hundreds of people every day.
Isn't it unusual that you remember one particular family?
You even remember when and why they were travelling.
It's surprising.
You say they travelled in your bus on the 2nd of March
after attending the meditation camp on 1st. - Yes, sir.
She wants to know how you still remember them even after 25 days.
Well, I don't remember properly.
That's what you said just now.
He mentioned it when I met him recently.
When? - Three days ago.
Where?
Hello, sir. - What brings you here?
Don't you remember me?
Didn't you recognise him?
After attending the meditation camp on March 1st
we had travelled back home on the 2nd in his bus.
Yes, I remember now.
We travelled back home in his bus on March 2nd
after attending the meditation camp in Nanjangud on March 1st.
Has the movie started? - No, sir.
Why have you come alone? Didn't you bring your family?
I can't afford to bring my family to Nanjangud every time.
It would cost me more.
There was meditation camp on March 1st in Nanjangud.
Hence, I was here with my family.
Murali, when we went to Nanjangud on March 1st
you didn't take money for tickets.
This time, you must take money.
You have come after so many days.
You're wrong.
We attended the meditation camp on March 1st in this town
and came to your hotel and had biryani on the 2nd.
Have you forgotten so soon?
After that they haven't come to our lodge, ma'am.
Didn't I tell you that I had been to a meditation camp
20 days ago, on March 1st and 2nd?
I told you that I had been to a meditation camp with my family.
I asked you to pay the tax the day after my arrival
from the meditation camp.
By the way, when did I go for the medication camp?
On March 1st, saturday. When was it?
On March 1st, saturday.
Hello?
No, it's not the IG's number, this is SI Ravi Shankar.
Yes, IG made a call from this number.
Who's that? - The Guru, ma'am.
Tell me, Guru.
CD? - Yes, that's right.
We give CDs to all the visitors
and also enter their names in the register.
Their names have not been mentioned in it.
There's a possibility
that they might've ordered the CD in some other name.
Maybe, but there's no proof
that they were present in this town on March 1st and 2nd.
'We left in a private bus at 5:30 a.m.'
'The meditation had already started, upon our arrival.'
'Why does your sister say that all of you had fried rice?'
'She must have forgotten.'
'How could I forget a good customer like him?'
'On the 2nd of this month.'
'He came to the projector room and spoke to me.'
'The owner of the bus is my husband's friend.'
'He didn't take money nor give us tickets.'
'He didn't come to office that day.'
'I don't know the name of the hotel. - On March 1st, saturday.'
'I guess he travelled in our bus on the 1st of this month.'
'I don't know the exact time.'
'There are families staying here. Come, I'll show you the room.'
'When I met them recently. - On the way back on March 2nd'
'we travelled in his bus.'
He just recreated that day.
What? - Don't you get it?
He just recreated that day.
He has created those two days which don't exist.
He created March 1st and 2nd to make us believe him.
What is most important in a film? The scenes.
Certain scenes make an impact on our mind.
He said they were out of town on 1st and 2nd, but it's a lie.
They have really executed it very well.
It's true that they had been to Nanjangud.
However, it was not on the 1st and 2nd of March.
It was on March 3rd and 4th, that's exactly after two days.
That's why we couldn't find him guilty.
Do you mean Monday and Tuesday?
You're right, ma'am.
The kids didn't go to school on Monday and Tuesday.
During the interrogation
he said that they had got drenched in the rain
while returning from the meditation camp and the kids had fallen ill.
They didn't go to school for two days.
He also showed the medicine bill.
They are fake bills.
The entry he made in the ledger at the lodge on the 1st
the cinema tickets and the bus tickets
has been shown to them. - He has a point.
This is where
Rajendra Ponnappa who has passed just 4th grade
managed to fool us.
He said they had been to the meditation camp on 1st and 2nd.
But they'd been to the camp on 3rd and 4th.
Moreover, it was his friend's bus. That's why, he didn't buy tickets.
On the 3rd, they spent the entire day in the ashram.
He learnt about the meditation CD being distributed on the 1st
and bought it using a fake name.
He then went to the lodge that very night
and very brilliantly entered the date as 1st in the register book.
On March 2nd, Rajendra Ponnappa drove Tarun's car
bought a phone on the way, inserted Tarun's SIM card in it
and threw the phone in a national permit truck.
He then dumped the car
in the quarry at Chettalli without anyone's knowledge.
He then went to a restaurant
and stealthily took away someone else's bill.
From there, he went to a theatre, purchased four tickets
and travelled back home the same evening in a government bus.
He purchased four tickets there as well.
Everything that they did on 3rd and 4th
has been recreated to 1st and 2nd.
This is how he has recreated 1st and 2nd on the 3rd and 4th
He's mocking the entire police department.
The problem is we have no evidence to prove it.
We only have his theory.
Roopa, if that's the truth, then where is our son, Tarun?
Why did he go to them?
We have to make him speak up for that.
What are you doing? Leave my family alone. - Let go.
Let go off my children, sir! - Where are you taking them?
Sir! - Take them! - Let them go, they're innocent!
Let go off them! - Get in!
Do you think we'll tolerate this?
Let go off them! Stop!
You're so cruel!
Shekar, I need a favour from you.
Tell me, Brother-in-law, what must I do?
If the police arrest us again, you must inform the news channels.
Suvarna News?
Where is my son?
I don't know. We were not in town that day.
Do you think that the police are fools?
We know what you did to create proof.
Why did my son come to see you?
What was your relationship with him?
After returning from nature camp, I did not see Tarun, ma'am.
It's futile to lie to me.
Betterment lies in telling the truth.
Or else, we will have to use force on you.
Please believe me, I don't know anything.
You better tell me the truth.
We're telling the truth, we don't know anything, ma'am.
That day.. - Surya Prakash!
You better speak up! - I don't know anything, sir.
Dad! - I don't know anything, sir.
Dad! - Where's Tarun? Speak up! - Dad!
Dad! - Please don't beat him!
Dad! - Please stop him, ma'am.
Dear, please! - Dad. - Move back.
Dad, let go of my father. - Get up!
Dad! - Speak up!
Please let go of us. - Speak up.
I don't know, sir.
Dad! - Hey! Don't move.
Dad! - Please let go of me! - Dad!
Dad!
- Please stop!.
Dad!
- Dad! - Let go of him.
Dad!
- Speak up.
No! Dad! - Dad!
Dad! - Dad! - Don't beat him.
Please stop him!
Dad! - My Dad's innocent.
Tarun's friend, Alex is here. Stop them from beating him.
Stop it.
Come with me.
Mom! - Mom!
Hey! - Surya Prakash, stop it.
Rajendra, if you know anything about their son, tell them.
Why do you want to get beaten up?
I don't know anything, sir.
Ma'am, at least you tell them the truth.
Look, nobody is permitted inside.
You're not allowed to capture any footage here.
If anyone barges inside with a camera..
Sir, how dare they behave like this before you?
They are so arrogant. - Let us in!
They're the media, let them in. - Let us in!
Sir, we are doing our job.
Do you know this girl?
I don't know.
Alex, we know you and Tarun were together in the camp.
Tarun is missing past 28 days.
There's a link between this girl and him gone missing.
So if you know anything about it, please tell us.
It's better for you.
Please believe me, I don't know.
The day Tarun went missing, the last call was from you.
When we called and asked you, you said you know nothing.
If you continue to tell the same
we'll have to use force on you.
When I called him
he didn't tell me why and where he had gone.
Okay.
What's the relation between Tarun and this girl?
You're well aware of it. Tell me.
Speak up. - I will.
Sir, he will.
Yes!
Show me.
Here.
Buddy.
I'll turn on the Bluetooth. Share it with me.
No, I can't.
Please.
No, buddy. No chance.
I want to make a deal with it.
Damn it.
Ma'am, many people have gathered outside
including the media.
I wonder how they found out. They want to meet you.
Oh. I don't want to meet anybody.
I don't care what you do.
Nobody should enter the premises.
Send them out! - Well.
Look, ask for extra force if you need to.
Come.
Roopa, the situation has become very critical.
It's wise to remain quiet now.
Yes, it's time to end this.
Inspector? - Ma'am?
Take everyone out. - March out.
Surya Prakash? - Ma'am? - Wait here.
I got to know about the video.
What did you do to my son? Answer me.
Honestly, we don't know anything.
Surya Prakash, I want to know the truth.
Did you understand?
You! - Dad!
Speak up! Tell the truth! - Sir.
Where is Tarun? - I don't know, sir.
Speak up! - Sir.
Speak up! - I don't know. Listen to me, sir.
Where is Tarun? - Don't beat him.
Sir. - Please, don't!
Sir, please don't harm my wife. - Dear!
Let go off my mother. - How dare you fool us?
Speak up!
Where is Tarun?
Let go. - How dare you lie to us?
Tell me, where is Tarun?
How dare you lie? The entire family is lying.
Tell me, where is Tarun?
How dare you beat my daughter?
Dad!
Let us go! - Dear!
Dad! - Oh no!
Let go. Don't beat him.
He's innocent. - Sir!
Mom! - Mom!
Speak the truth. - Let them go.
Sindhu!
Mom!
Listen to me!
If I continue to beat them, they will die.
If you don't want them to die, speak the truth.
Or else, I will kill them.
Surya Prakash!
If you know anything, please tell us.
Shreya? Where is Shreya? - Oh, Shreya?
Shreya! - Go away! - Shreya!
Did he come to your house?
I don't know.
I want to go to my parents. - Don't cry!
Let's tell them the truth, Dad.
They are torturing Shreya.
Dear, they have no mercy. I'm scared.
I will surrender myself and everything will be over.
We didn't put in so much effort to give up in the end.
None of you will go to jail as I have promised.
If that happens, I will die.
They will torture Shreya.
Nothing will happen to Shreya. Don't be afraid. - Oh, God!
Tell me the truth.
If you tell me the truth, I'll take you to your parents.
Don't make me angry. I'll kill you.
Roopa, let's stop this.
What we're doing is against the law.
What about our son?
Don't you want to know about him?
I want to, but don't torture them.
Let go off the little girl.
He tortured them so much, but it was of no use.
If they turn out to be innocent, we will regret this forever.
Won't you speak up?
You, nuisance! - Dad!
No. - Hey! - Surya Prakash!
I will! I will tell the truth!
Don't beat me!
Dad!
Shreya! - Shreya!
Where are you taking my kid? - You, creep!
She's going to show us the place where you have buried Tarun.
The game is over now. Your family is going to jail.
No one can save you now. Take them in the jeep!
I'm Rajendra's father-in-law. Let me in.
We won't let anyone meet the accused.
Why do you call them accused? What's their mistake?
You'll find out in sometime. - There's nothing to know.
I'm sure that Surya Prakash is taking revenge.
What's the problem? - We don't know.
The police has been interrogating my son-in-law and his family.
Why? - The IG's son is missing.
They are being framed.
The entire town knows Rajendra and his family very well.
They are good people.
Constable Surya Prakash, who's standing there
is trying to frame them.
Dad!
I told them the truth because I was scared.
Did they torture you? - Yes.
Have I made a mistake?
No, not at all.
Father-in-law, Shekar. Surya Prakash tortured my daughter.
He's trying to ruin an innocent family.
You!
Surya Prakash, no. - I won't spare you.
How dare you talk about me?
Oh, my God. - Don't beat me.
Tell us what happened. Don't be afraid.
Don't be afraid, Dear. Tell them what they did.
No one can ever harm us now.
Police Constable Surya Prakash has been terminated from his job.
Rajendra and his family who were innocent were tortured.
It's clear that their power was misused by the police officials.
Police Constable Surya Prakash who tortured Rajendra and family
in the pretext of interrogation due to personal enmity
has been terminated from his job.
Also, the DGP has ordered IG Roopa Chandrashekar to resign.
Yes!
The court has ordered to seek
its permission for further investigation of the case.
Look, IG Roopa has resigned.
I feel pity for her.
What wrong has she done?
She may be in a big post, but she's a mother, too.
In fact, we've done injustice to her.
As you're a good human being, you're feeling pity for her.
Think of it the other way around.
To save their son, they tried to cover up the truth.
They tried to use their power and bring out the truth from us.
Being the parents of girls, what we did was right.
Any parent would do the same.
So, let's forget everything.
When did you replace the dead body?
The day I dumped the car. - Where did you dispose it?
It's better that I keep the secret to myself.
Let it be within me, it's better for all of us.
Dad, the police is here again.
What brings you here? Are you here to trouble them again?
Why did you come here? - We're here to meet Mr. Rajendra.
Do you have the court order?
She's not here as an IG.
We don't intend to avenge you either.
She's here as a mother.
We thought that we would never have children.
Only then, Tarun was born.
We've always pampered him and had been lenient towards him.
We now realise that we were wrong.
When we gave it a thought, we understood one thing.
We're responsible for whatever has happened to our son.
It's our mistake that we didn't raise him properly.
It was after realising that, we had decided to meet you.
So, here we are.
We have troubled your family a lot.
Please forgive us.
We have decided to settle down with my brother in USA.
So, can we now know what had happened to Tarun?
Every time the phone or the doorbell rings, we feel it's him.
However, we're always disappointed.
That's why we have come to you.
Should we wait for him?
It's okay. I can understand. You still don't trust us.
Sorry to trouble you.
Roopa, let's go.
You're kind-hearted.
I'm not as kind as you.
I'm an ordinary man.
My wife and kids are my world.
I don't want anything else other than them.
I've never thought of anything else.
An uninvited guest entered our world.
He tried to ruin my family.
We begged for mercy but he didn't listen to us.
A tragedy took place even as we were perplexed.
After we decided that he must never return into our life
we had no option other than to kill him.
Though it was not intentional, we have ruined your dreams.
We wanted to apologise to you.
We did it within our heart.
Like others, my family is important for me too.
If anyone tries to ruin my family
I won't spare them.
Please forgive me.
My heart says that I did the right thing.
I will keep my luggage in the quarters, sir.
Come on. The Inspector has come.
Sir, he's Rajendra Ponnappa.
Yes, I know.
I have seen and read about him on the newspaper and TV.
Sign here.
I know you're taking pride of fooling the police.
It's only going to last until we've recovered the dead body.
I'll be here for a couple of years.
I will find the dead body.
No, sir. I've never taken the police to be fools.
I believe that the police is here to serve the public.
I strongly believe
that you and the police will always protect me.
Today, we'll finish the ceiling of the police station.
On Monday, we'll cement the floor.
