I know who the killer is.
Before Bhramaramba's wedding, I will definitely catch the killer.
Trust me, nothing will happen to Bhramaramba.
The wedding will happen grandly.
-Sir? -Hmm?
Who is Ramana here? There he is.
Are you Ramana?
It seems this police girl is overseeing all the arrangements.
Where is your Kittu?
Isn’t he always sticking by your side?
Where is he now?
I sent him out on some important work. He’ll be back soon.
Stop there.
Who are you?
Why did you come to our village? What is your connection to our village?
Please come and bless her.
In the end, even though it’s a bit late, you’re marrying the person you like.
Be happy.
Here, I brought sweets. I’ll serve them, wait.
Please eat.
Sir.
Until Bhramaramba’s wedding is over, she must not eat or drink anything.
Meena, seeing your concern is making me afraid.
Even though I know my daughter’s life is in danger,
I am trusting your words and getting her married here.
Did you find out who the killer is?
In my investigation, three people are suspected.
They are the ones who could have committed these murders.
The first person is...
'Gangoti Vara Prasad'.
To find the truth about him,
I have sent our FIR writer Ramesh to Kanigiri.
'Kanigiri'
Uncle, do you know the address written in this?
Go that way.
Okay.
Meena, hmm.
Madam.
On the night Malli died,
our Head Constable’s daughter also gave birth.
He called his daughter
that night to know about it.
But nothing suspicious happened, madam.
Meena, who is the second person?
'Priest Subrahmanya Shastry'
What happened, Kittu? Did you find anything?
Finding out, madam? It's exactly as you predicted.
He escaped like that, madam.
But he'll surely come to this wedding.
[Chanting mantras]
Girl, sit down.
[Chanting mantras]
[Intense music]
[Chanting mantras]
Drums beat! Drums beat!
[Chanting mantras]
Hey.
Hey, stop.
Who are you?
Why are you doing all this?
Tell me.
Come on.
Madam, he is the one.
The cause of all the deaths in the village.
Finally, we caught him.
Hey Kittu.
What are you saying?
Why would he kill the brides?
Who is he actually?
Tell us why you are doing all this? Tell us!
-Speak up! -Kittu, let him go.
He is just a weapon.
Even if he made the poison,
he's not the one who gave it to the brides and killed them.
Who is the killer behind him?
It’s not a killer, it’s a murderess.
He used to prepare the poison in the lab,
put it in an envelope, and send it by post.
The poison would be mixed into the sacred water
used for the brides’ baths
before the wedding. All the brides were killed by a woman.
I will make him tell us about the person.
Ramana, will you tell the truth now
or will you die from the poison you yourself made?
How dare you try to kill my son?
Are you scared your son’s life is in danger?
What about all those innocent girls who lost their lives?
Tell the truth now. Why did you do all this?
Innocent? Who’s innocent? These people?
These people are demons in human form.
Whatever happens to them is not wrong.
Every auspicious event in this village
would only happen through me.
Every girl would wish that
I should conduct her first wedding ritual,
that I should mark her forehead with the wedding turmeric,
that she should become a bride with my blessing.
As the elder married woman,
I have conducted many marriages and rituals.
Madam, the bus your husband was traveling in had an accident.
He died on the spot.
Until then, the people who used to respect me
didn't even bother about me.
Sister,
I was distanced from all the auspicious functions.
On that day, I understood that
my value has been degraded than that of a maid.
My maid's daughter, who grew up in my house since childhood,
I went to her marriage to gift her a saree and bless her.
She humiliated and insulted me.
She resented me saying that it's a bad omen to even look at my face.
The whole village humiliated me.
Don't you know you shouldn't come here?
Who asked you to come?
They said seeing you brings bad luck.
Any auspicious event in this village should not happen without your presence.
Madam,
look at her. God deceived me in this manner!
They said I wasn’t even worthy to step into a wedding house,
but when it comes to a house of death, they’ll hold my hand and take me inside.
For the auspicious ceremonies I wasn’t worthy to attend,
I wanted to ensure those ceremonies would not happen in this village.
I wanted this village to remain childless, just like me.
That’s why I gave this punishment.
You stooped so low!
Why are we still talking? Take her to jail.
You took so many lives.
No matter what punishment you get, it’s not wrong.
After committing so many sins,
the Goddess will not forgive you. She will give you fitting punishment.
This is a village where they worship the Goddess as a divine mother,
but they attach a woman’s worth and eligibility to her marital status.
When her husband dies, they won’t even give her basic respect.
Even if a widow is the bride’s own mother,
they don’t let her bless the bride.
Because of your superstitions,
you’ve drawn walls around these women.
Instead of comforting a woman grieving her husband’s death,
you killed the person inside her with your cruel words and made her a beast.
The mistake is not hers alone. It’s everyone’s mistake.
I understand your pain.
But just because they hurt you,
does that mean you can take so many lives?
You’ve caused pain to so many mothers.
Couldn’t you see their suffering?
Because of the mistake you made,
your son’s life has also been destroyed.
That is your greatest punishment.
My mom is also just like you.
But she didn’t wish for anyone’s death.
She wished that no one else should suffer like her.
Mom! Mom!
Mom!
Driven by blind superstitions, there is no curse greater than
the ignorance that fails to see a fellow human as human.
