Mahabharatham.
During the Pandavas' exile in disguise
King Virata hit Yudhishthira with dice.
For every drop of his royal blood, the land would endure a year of drought.
Knowing this, Mother Draupadi caught the falling blood in her veil.
Exposing their identity meant
another twelve years of exile in the forest.
Yet, risking everything, she thought only of her people's survival.
Therefore, the people of Chittor believe that worshipping her
brings rain to this arid land, which was once drenched
in Lord Venkateswara’s own blood.
So, they worship Draupadi every year.
The Mahabharatham unfolds across 18 volumes.
The Kurukshetra war lasted for 18 days.
Reflecting this, the 18-day Bharatham Mitta festival is celebrated.
This is Bharatham Mitta, resembling a chariot.
This holy place has just one absolute rule.
Not a single drop of blood should be spilled on this soil.
This is the story of an orphan who arrived in this land, famished.
Stop talking nonsense.
Eguva Ramapuram hoists the flag. That's the tradition.
If Diguva Ramapuram hoists the flag for a couple of years,
that'll become the tradition from then on.
Sir!
I'm hungry. Can you please give me some food?
How could I?
Both villages are fighting to hoist the flag,
hoping it will bring them good fortune.
The food is offered to the deity only after the flag has been hoisted
and the serving of food begins.
You'd better go stand in line.
It's raining right after the hoisting, for the first time in years!
A good omen.
Kid…
Who are you?
Where are your parents?
I'm an orphan, Mother.
How can you be an orphan when you've called me Mother?
Aren't we all with you?
I'm so hungry, Mother.
Oh, God. Vasanth.
Coming, Mom.
What's your name?
His name…
Come on in.
Where's the jailer, brother?
Apparently, there's a function at his house,
so he's running late.
The jailer arranged your early release because of your good nature.
He'd already signed on your papers.
All these days,
you kept us hooked on the Mahabharata.
Now you're leaving without finishing it?
I'm heading out to finish it, brother.
You're heading out to finish it?
- Sir. - Yes.
- Did the event go well, sir? - It went well, Rajendra.
Sir, about convict number 108…
When asked why he was leaving without finishing the Mahabharata,
he said he is leaving so he can conclude it.
I didn’t get it, sir.
Tell me this,
did anyone come to pick him up?
No humans, sir. Just a dog!
Kannaiah?
Who is that?
How are you, my son?
Nobody even mentioned you were getting released.
I'm really hungry.
Hurry up and bring me some food.
I need you to look into a case.
Of course, sir.
I am sending over the details
and addresses of a few people.
What happened, sir?
Something's about to happen.
Go check on them and see what they need.
Okay, brother.
Brother,
the tables are full.
Looking at this crowd, they won't budge until they're done.
I can get you a parcel if you want.
Hey, Delhi!
Let them be seated at my table.
Attend to them personally.
I'm seeing fear in your eyes for the first time.
Who is he?
Lenin.
Brother,
I didn't see you before. I'm from your village too.
I'm not from your village.
That's exactly what everyone back home says.
What do they say?
I mean…
Whenever your name comes up,
they say you aren't one of us.
Some people,
curse just hearing your name.
While others,
get terrified.
It's the same fear…
I just saw in my boss's eyes.
Who are you, brother?
The whole village claims
your chapter is closed.
If your chapter is truly closed,
why are you back?
They're afraid to even utter the name, the 100th Bharatham Mitta.
What happened there?
The Kurukshetra.
To tell you about the Kurukshetra,
it all begins with the death of our village elder, Nadamuni.
Bharatham Mitta begins only after
this household's woman makes the sacred offerings.
It's all over now.
Death may have struck our home,
but Bharatham Mitta serves the entire village.
The tradition must continue for the sake of people.
We must keep it alive.
From that day, Jayyamma never removes her vermillion
until the festival ends.
The most revered title in this entire festival is
Dharma Raju!
He is the king of Bharatham Mitta.
Every household in the village gets a turn to become Dharma Raju.
After the festival,
they adopt "Dharma Raju" as their surname.
This is the ultimate recognition that everyone craves.
Especially, our uncle Ethirajulu.
I have decided to play Dharma Raju
for this upcoming festival.
That is for us to decide.
When will you decide? When will I ever get my turn?
What is this, sister-in-law?
Who are you calling, sister-in-law?
And who are you calling brother?
You are nothing but my father-in-law's illegitimate son!
When your very birth is illegitimate,
how dare you dream of playing Dharma Raju?
As long as my family lives on,
you will never be granted that honor.
You drunkard!
Get lost!
Mother is generous to everyone.
Ethirajulu is the only one she's strict with.
He is our Neelakantam uncle.
The elder of Diguvaramapuram village.
The man has a heart of gold.
The Shakuni of this Bharatham.
Damodaram.
Brother-in-law,
this wig finally works for you.
Just like me,
Kannaiah came to me starving at last year's fair.
My Kannaiah.
And Balaji.
Srinivasulu.
Dwaraka.
Murali.
They're my whole world.
The auspicious hour is slipping away!
Dharma Raju is arriving with the offerings.
Where on earth are you?
A Ravana descended upon our joyful festival.
- MLA Raghava Reddy. - The MLA's cutout looks great.
What is this, Damodaram?
Why are you dragging politics and cutouts onto this sacred land?
You know we have our traditions, right?
Oh, wow!
Look who's lecturing us on tradition… a widow who still dares to wear a bindi.
Why did you lower your head,
Mother?
The heavens themselves blessed your sacred status with rain.
How can we
just stand by while a good-for-nothing insults you?
We will hold our heads high and crush anyone who gets in our way.
You really think you can take down my brother’s cutout?
Step forward if you dare.
This will turn into a bloodbath.
No blood should spill on this land.
Whether it’s mine,
yours, or your brother's…
Listen to me.
Take the cutout down.
What if I don't?
What will you do?
What?
Who do you think you are?
- What if I don't? - I'll take it down.
Hey.
He says he'll take it down!
You pathetic loser!
What gives you so much confidence?
You think this crowd's got your back?
Go ahead. Touch me.
Let's see who's got your back.
Hey!
You go ahead!
If his strength comes from the position he holds,
my faith lies in the village standing right behind me.
In any age,
the one who acts righteous is Rama,
and the one who spreads evil is Ravana.
And by burning away that evil,
the landmark 100th Bharatham Mitta began in all its glory.

Hand it to the PA.
Forgive me, brother.
The entire village backed him yesterday.
We couldn't stop them.
One word and I'll hack him down in broad daylight.
Hey,
it's election season.
Act in haste and we lose everything.
First, we must reclaim our stripped respect.
- What is it, Damodaram? - Brother…
No blood should be spilled on that sacred land, right?
It mustn't.
Then I will make sure it will.
Dear devotees and believers…
Do you think Mother Draupadi's
legacy is merely about her beauty?
Absolutely not.
Her every smile,
her every step,
and her every action defines cosmic righteousness.
- Hey! - My Ice cream…
Why are you crying like that?
Some girl snatched away my ice cream.
Forget that thieving wench. I’ll buy you another one.
But he already gobbled up all the remaining ones.
Hey, hey.
Stop crying like the sky is falling.
Let's go track her down.
Hey!
Wipe your tears and describe what she looks like.
I don't know, brother.
She stole berries the day before yesterday.
Yesterday, she stole a sugar bar.
Today, it's ice.
Do you know how good that ice tastes?
Hey!
Drop the food descriptions for a second
and tell me the color of her outfit!
She's wearing a green saree.
With orange flowers in her hair.
Now that’s a real clue. Let’s go find her!
Hey,
- we are up next. - Hey.
It's about time. Let’s go!
Move fast, brother!
Hey, come on!
Brother, it's this saree!
- This one? - Yes, this is it!
O Duryodhana!
Did you see a girl in this costume pass by?
What do you mean by "why"?
She stole this kid's ice cream! That basket-faced wench!
- I need to teach her a lesson. - Basket-faced?
Did you see her or not?
Hey.
I'm talking to you! Did you see her?
I just saw her heading that way.
Hey, come on.
Let's go teach her a lesson.
While the Pandavas lived in exile,
King Virata boasted about his son Uttara's immense bravery.
But when Dharma Raju credited Brihannala instead,
the king lost his temper.
In a fit of blind rage, King Virata grabbed the dice
and hurled them at Dharma Raju.
Flying faster than the wind,
they struck the noble king's forehead.
She's leaving. Stop her, brother!
Brother,
that's her! She stole my ice cream.
You're here?
You've had mumps and a fever all week, and you ate a whole cart of ice cream?
I'll teach you a lesson once we're home.
- Mom, I didn't eat much. I only had one. - Shut up.
What did you say?
Are you saying the son of a charioteer
has no right to stand here, just because of his race?
What outrageous words! What shocking words!
This is a test of skill in battle not a test of noble birth.
No! It must not be so.
Are you saying this is a test of community?
Then What was the origin of your own father, Bharadwaja?
And what of your own disgraceful birth?
Were you not born in a clay pot?
Tell me then, which community do you belong to?
Her name is Bharathi.
Neelakantam's younger daughter.
I’ve never seen her around.
How could you?
She lives in Madras.
Her uncle has no children of his own, so he raised her since childhood.
She looks traditional, right?
She looks so precious.
She completely nailed the performance.
- Everyone is raving about it. - Brother.
Wow!
Your dialogue delivery was flawless.
You made me proud.
See?
Bharati is the one who will always safeguard our family's honor.
And you just sit around like a slacker,
tying wish-fulfilling slips to that tree!
- How dare you! Stop right there. - Dad! Wait.
- Dad. - Wait.
- She’s calling me a slacker. - Hold on.
Fine, fine, I’m sorry.
Shall we head home now?
Weren't you playing Duryodhana?
Go on your own.
Shall we go home, Dad?
Your mother and I have some unfinished work here.
- Yes. - I'll send someone to drop you.
- Who else is here, Mom? - Let him find someone.
Lenin.
Come here for a moment.
She's my younger daughter, Bharathi.
Please drop her off at home.
- Okay, Uncle. - He has a lot of work here.
- I'll drop her off instead. - Hey, it can wait.
Hey, I said I'll drop her.
Take my sister home.
- Look at you blushing, brother! - It's nothing like that.
- Just go already. - We get it.
- Dude! - Yes.
- I'll drop her safely. - Okay, careful.
- Okay. - Dear, go on.
Be careful, dear.
Come on.
Stop staring.
Anyway, how was my performance?
Not quite up to NTR's level,
but you did a solid job.
I already know that.
- So, what exactly do you do? - Me?
I’m the organizer of Bharatham Mitta.
Organizer?
So is your job chauffeuring girls home?
Hey!
Watch your mouth.
This Lenin is pure as fire.
Oh, look at that.
- Mr. Fire's bike has broken down. - It broke down?
Yes.
Hold this.
Ouch!
Watch now.
Let's go.
I just got it serviced the other day.
- It broke down again? - No.
We've reached my house.
Phew!
A bike doesn't always stop because it needs repairs.
Sometimes, it stops because of Bharati.
- Huh? - Go now.
Hey,
take this with you.
The Bharatham Mitta started four days ago.
These young punks only show up to check out the girls.
Yes. Let's go. Let's go.
Not a single soul drops money into the donation box.
The procession of the Iron God has begun.
Pray and place your offering in the donation box.
- Amara. - Brother?
I gave him something to do. Let's go sit down.
A boy in a blue shirt and brown shorts is lost. I request…
Brother, give me your hand.
Whoa! My nephew is kicking!
If you don't marry soon and bring a bride for him,
he won't spare you.
Wow!
Do you expect me to go chasing after girls now?
Hey!
Bharathi! Stop!
Hey! What happened?
Why are you chasing her?
The husband of their maid, Ratna,
gambled away her bangles in a game with my brother-in-law.
This girl just stormed in and snatched them away.
What are you doing? Give them back.
- I said do it. - No. I won't!
You keep stealing one thing or the other.
Come on.
What is your problem?
You stole the bangles like a thief.
You should win them back fairly, like a man.
Did anyone ever win against you?
Oh, you're a tough guy who tore down a poster.
You want to play?
Care for a game?
He's afraid, brother-in-law. Let him go.
If he's scared, then forget it!
He will play!
What are the stakes?
Why are you involving me?
I don't even know how to play!
Hey, Lenin.
Do you honestly believe you can beat me?
Why would Lenin waste his time beating you?
I'm more than enough.
Name the stakes.
What do you want?
Lenin must hand over complete management
of the Bharatham Mitta to me this year.
That is never going to happen.
And since I'm going to win anyway,
you must completely ban gambling this year.
Deal?
Sounds good.
Come on.
Let's begin.
Since you're a girl,
we play three matches.
Even if you manage to win a single round,
I'll accept defeat.
Since you're a man,
even if you manage a win,
I'll accept defeat.
One round?
- Alright, bring it on! - She has no idea who she's dealing with!
You know, right?
Can't you see the confidence in my eyes?
Not a bit.
It's only fair.
You'll see.
Look at her, shaking before the game even starts!
Well, it's expected since you're the opponent.
Show!
What on earth is this?
Lenin, we won.
How could you possibly lose? And to a girl, of all people?
You idiot.
Stop!
Hey, Damodar!
According to the terms, you lost one round.
Therefore,
gambling is officially banned this year!
Got it?
Move guys.
- Move aside! - Don't worry.
You fool--
It's alright, brother.
Since you're a man,
I'll give you another chance.
Play!
Do you see the confidence in my eyes now?
Where do you think you're going?
Don't you dare try your cheap tricks on me!
Damn it!
Why does a loser need a Dhoti?
Pull! Pull it.
Hold that. Hold that guys.
- Hey! - Oh! He's a man!
Damodar brother! You are too good.
Go jump in a ditch.
You piece of a crap.
My love.
If I tell my dad, he might send you instead.
I have some important business in Tirupati tomorrow.
Take me there safely and bring me back.
Got it?
I'll be waiting for you at the bus stop.

Did his work become more important than Bharathi?
He'll show up tomorrow, won't he?
I'll deal with him then.
Hey, stop.
If you get caught, you're dead meat!
- Come on! - Oh God!
What happened?
Tulasi's men from Kotthacheruvu took a woman away,
You won't return if you go there.
Nothing, girl.
I heard you're an expert at playing games.
I've set up this little contest at my town square!
It's not a card game this time.
It's a different kind of game!
I just can't resist you.
Get him, boys!
Don't let him leave this town square alive.
Vasanth?
- I'll kill you! Stay away. - Stop! You'll kill him!
Let's go.
- I'll kill you. - Let's go.
Vasanth.
I was a hungry orphan when I came to Bharatam Mitta.
He fed me.
♪ Once upon a time, who would've known? ♪
♪ A little heart longed For a love to call its own… ♪
Because of him, I found everything I needed in life…
including a mother's love.
I chose to stay behind to help mother.
While he moved away to Madras to pursue his higher education.
Hey, Vasanth!
He comes back just once a year.
You visit once a year, only to leave us again in a few days.
Do you know how much it hurts to see you leave?
I had to, for studies.
I'm not going anywhere now.
Now that's what I wanted to hear.
Hey, no one should know what happened in the village.
Especially not aunt.
May the evil eye stay away. Phew phew.
- How long? Let's go. - Hey! Hang on a second!
- Come on, Mom. - Take this.
Everything at the hospital has been taken care of.
Now you can plan the grand opening.
I have some work at Bharatham Mitta. Give me the bike keys.
- Here. - Okay.
- I'll be back. - Yeah, I'll see you.
Hey, eat something before you leave.
- I'm already full. - Have it, son.
Uncle is here. Serve him instead.
- Mom. - Yes.
I sent over all the required paperwork.
Why did the license take this long?
MLA Raghava Reddy was demanding a massive cut.
It took some time to convince him and get the approval.
Why does he want a cut?
The elections are around the corner.
He wants to politicize your social service.
Why are you sharing all this with him?
Then invite him as the guest of honor tomorrow.
We'll have him cut the ribbon,
show him proper respect, and send him off.
Uncle Neelakantam,
let women of your household light the inaugural lamp.
Thank you for gracing us on such short notice, sir.
Enjoy the feast before you leave.
He humiliated us
because we didn't approve the hospital.
It makes my blood boil
to see you quietly taking all of this.
First, Lenin tore down my banner.
Then Vasanth invites me here to humiliate me before everyone.
I won't let this go.
Just like him, his father once stood against the panchayat.
I had him killed in a staged accident.
This time, I won't spare either of them.
Vaidehi.
Don't you understand when I say it once?
If anyone finds you here, you're dead.
- Get out of here. - Sure, but I'll be back.
- Who was that? - Just a nobody, Aunt.
He's been ripping off everyone who visits the shop.
Is Vasanth still at the hospital, or has he come home?
He's at the temple. Let's go.
Hey, Vasanth. How have you been?
Vasanth, you inaugurated the hospital with Vaidehi.
Luck will favor you from here on.
Seems like you're looking for someone special.
He will show up.
Hey, that's mine.
Hey, where is the Ferris wheel operator?
He ran off, scared of your temper.
Tell him if it stops again, he won't get a single cent.
That's why I paid him the full amount up front.
- Why did you pay him upfront, you idiot? - Hello, sir.
Get down.
I didn’t expect this from you. Get down.
Take care of the kids. I'll handle her.
Stop it!
- Is it fixed? - Yes.
What is this?
My father trusted you to protect me, and you wrote me a love letter?
How dare you?
Today, I'll see your end.
Do you know what would happen if I showed this to my father?
Alright, We'll do this.
Let's call him. He can read it aloud..
Uncle!
Uncle Neelakantam, come here quickly!
- You need to read a letter. - Hey.
Why are you shouting?
- What if he actually comes? - Let him come, Bharathi.
Only then will we know
how an illiterate man wrote a love letter.
What? Don't you know how to write?
I never even learned how to read.
Hey, where are you going?
You were supposed to see my end today.
Fine. If you don't have the guts, don't read it.
Read.
The moment I saw you,
you looked like a warrior charging into battle.
Your voice echoed like music through the crowd.
In your anger, you stood as a pillar of hope for this village.
You believed in my play, and challenged me with your words.
You became the sacred vermilion on my forehead.
It's been 12 days since the Bharatham Mitta started.
That's 288 hours.
17,280 minutes.
10,36,800 seconds.
Thanks to him, it all flew by in a flash.
If he's with me,
I want to ask him if he can make this moment last forever.
Tell me.
Will you?
My love!

Your prayers have been answered.
Neelakantam agreed to marry his eldest, Vaidehi, off to Vasanth.
Your prayers have been answered. Vasanth is marrying into their family.
The day after tomorrow…
On the eighteenth day of Bharatam Mitta.
It's an auspicious day to exchange the betel leaves.

Tomorrow is the last day of the fair.
We've looked everywhere for a match.
No drama, no fuss. You're useless.
You brat!
You don't even know how to pack up a show
and you're calling me useless?
- We still have one day left, right? - Vaidehi, Vaidehi!
I'll show you what I can do--
- Vaidehi, - There it is.
- I can't live without you. - What's with this girl, buddy?
She's getting married tomorrow, yet she's fooling around with another guy?
Trust me and come with me.
She isn't fooling around.
- She's just settling things with him. - Seems like it.
- I'll beg at your feet if I have to. - Hey!
Are you crazy?!
- Why are you falling at my feet? - Got her now.
- Move! - Watch me now.
Vaidehi, please wait.
I feel sorry for Nadamuni's family.
The tainted, illegitimate son, Ethirajulu, keeps lingering around the house.
And now, a tainted bride is entering their house.
Brother-in-law, brother-in-law.
You know what?
Their family name should no longer be "Ummadi".
- It should be renamed 'Tainted.' - Hey!
What are you barking about, you numbskull?
Who are you calling tainted?
- I'll kill you right here! - Hey, stop!
Let go of him.
He's insulting our family, sister-in-law.
My family!
Because of you, we have to endure these insults.
Leave.
What are you all staring at? Go.
You started the fire, brother-in-law.
Hey, Dharma Raju Ethirajulu.
I knew you'd be here.
- Let's go home. - I'm not coming. Go away.
You don't know what happened.
I know, but she's an old woman. She spoke out of anger.
We only scold the ones we care about.
What?
An old woman?
And she spoke out of anger?
Figures. She was the first one to welcome you when you arrived.
So you're taking that wench's side.
Hey! Don't disrespect aunt like that.
What are you going to do?
Kill me?
Hack me into pieces?
Here's my head. Go ahead, and hack me.
- Kill me? - You lose your mind when you drink.
- Kannaiah, let's go. - Do it!
Kannaiah, get lost.
You're all the same.
Hey!
My time will come.
Ethirajulu Dharma Raju!
To hell with them.
Ethirajulu here.
Where's my booze?
Damn them all.
Her wedding is in the morning.
Why is she leaving the village?
Vaidehi!
Vaidehi.
Where are you, girl?
Vaidehi.
Father, please forgive me.
I'm in love with someone.
And I can't imagine living with anyone else.
Our family's honor means more to you than my love.
So, I'm leaving with him.
I'm sorry for doing this just before my wedding.
Forgive me, Father.
I never imagined she would do this.
She has tarnished my honor.
Along with yours, our family's reputation is also ruined.
Hey, what are you saying? Shut your mouth.
I chose this alliance to ensure her bright future.
She isn't fortunate enough to marry into your family.
I suppose we weren't fortunate enough.
Why are you saying that, brother?
Perhaps my son wasn't fortunate enough to become your son-in-law.
Why not, sister?
There's still a way.
Hey! Get inside right now.
He's not wrong, Jayanthamma.
He expressed what was in my heart.
Vasanth.
Please marry my younger daughter and spare me this disgrace.
I'll be forever indebted to you.
If I must,
- I'll fall at your feet. - Stop it, Father-in-law.
What are you doing, Father-in-law?
Even after the engagement, why are you treating us like strangers?
This is about our shared honor now.
I can understand your situation.
Proceed with the arrangements.
Everything will proceed as planned. Let's go.
Come on, Aunt.
I'll take my leave.
- Find out who he is. - Okay, sister.
He's from the neighboring village, Chandragiri.
Apparently, he's been following her for a long time.
But our girl wasn't interested, sister.
If she hadn't encouraged him, would he dare to follow her like this?
A girl should experience love only once..
A second time opens the door to comparisons.
After the wedding,
what if she feels
his love is deeper than my son's?
My family name is "Ummadi."
I won't accept what's tainted.
I don't understand, sister.
Just as Jayanthi has only one son,
Neelakantam should have only one son-in-law.
Grab her!
Brother, please let me go.
Who are you people? Please, don't do this!
Give it to him.
Govind! This letter must be in Vaidehi's room.
Nobody else must ever find out what happened here.
Hey, Kannaiah, eat.
Eat it.
Hey! What are you doing here?
What's this about Bharathi marrying Vasanth?
Hey! Get her out of here.
If anyone shows up, I'll handle them.
Listen to me.
You fool! That entire family is like that.
Not a single good deed for anyone.
Filthy people!
What?
What are you talking about?
That family gave me a mother.
A friend.
If I asked for Bharathi's hand tonight, they'd grant me that too.
- Then go ask for it. - How can I?
How can I possibly ask?
A wedding was called off this morning, and you want me to stop another one?
If I do that, Vasanth will be the one hanging his head in shame.
Not everyone gets a chance to repay a debt.
I did.
I must repay it.
Just think about Bharathi for once.
You wanted to spend your life with her, didn't you?
I did.
I dreamed of a beautiful future.
Not anymore.
I'll learn to live with it.
Besides,
Since childhood, I've grown used to losing the people I love.
- Hey, that's not the point. - Listen to me.
If you get drunk and cause a scene…
I swear on my life.
- I swear. - Hear me out.
On the final day of the Bharatam Mitta,
we request all visiting devotees.
Those walking on the burning embers, please refrain from pushing one another.
Offer your prayers peacefully, and seek Draupadamma's blessings.
Uncle Ethirajulu!
Why is everyone so quiet?
Do something, Uncle.
Listen, cut the power the moment he’s about to tie the knot.
The moment the lights go out, bring Bharathi to the vehicle.
Hey, Dwaraka.
- Have the car ready. - Understood.
You, stay right by Bharathi’s side.
Let's see how this wedding happens. Go!
Hurry up, and be there on time.
Get up! Hurry!
Hey, stop!
Who are you to just walk straight in? Get back. Get back! Now!
Blocking the groom's way, idiots!
Hey, Balaji, Balaji. Come here.
Where are you going?
Where is Lenin?
- I haven't seen him all day. - Actually, Lenin--
- Hey! - What happened?
Dude, where's Lenin?
- He went to town for urgent work. - He went to town.
- He'll be back in ten minutes. Let's go. - I see.
Guys, it's my wedding today. Stay right by my side.
Hey, go and see.
The auspicious time is running out.
- Tie the knot. - Just ten more minutes, Priest.
Lenin is on his way. I'll tie it once he's here.
- Time is running out. Just tie the knot. - But Mom--
- Do it. - I don't like you, Vasanth.
I don't want this marriage, Vasanth.
And you're telling me this now?
When else should I have said it, Dad?
You asked everyone if they wanted to marry your daughter.
Did you ever bother to ask me?
When your daughter went missing, you should have looked for her, Dad.
Not the lost honor.
Since childhood, you've told me to live life on my terms.
But today, you didn't even bother to ask what I wanted.
Why, Dad?
And you, Mom.
You asked me if I liked this saree or that jewelry.
But did you even bother to ask if I liked the groom?
I didn't expect anything better from them, Vasanth.
Because I never thought highly of them anyway.
But I expected it from you.
I thought you'd at least ask if I liked you.
I thought you'd question them when they replaced the bride.
But you didn't.
Am I a doll in a shop, Vasanth? To be replaced if one doesn't work out?
I'm a woman.
You should ask.
At least before tying the knot, you should ask her consent.
On one hand, I'm terrified about my sister's whereabouts.
On the other hand, a marriage I never agreed to.
I was torn between the two, Vasanth.
The past 24 hours have been a living hell.
That's why I had no choice but to speak up in front of everyone.
Alright, let's assume no one asked you.
What reason could you possibly have to reject Vasanth, such a gem of a guy?
Unless… You're in love with someone else.
For the first time, you actually sound like a gentleman.
Yes.
I am in love with Lenin.
My heart beats for him, Vasanth.
If you still don't care…
And want to tie the knot regardless, it's your choice.
Tie it right now.
You've humiliated me in public.
- You! - Uncle.
We've made enough mistakes already, Uncle.
Do you want to hit her and make another mistake?
Sitting here without ever asking for her consent…
I loathe myself.
Forgive me, Bharathi.
I declare this in front of everyone.
Even if I have to go against everyone,
I will ensure you two get married.
You have my word.
Come!
Why the hell are you up on this hill
when you're supposed to be marrying Bharathi?
She told me.
But you didn't.
A bride is supposed to bow her head at the wedding.
But because of you two, I've hung my head in shame.
You made me feel like an outsider.
Forgive me, man.
Oh no, why?
Because you want to make noble sacrifices and portray me as the villain?
Honestly, for dragging this matter this far,
I can't forgive either of you.
But if I'm going to let it go just because we're friends…
You must make me…
Hold my head high.
Go on.
Go tie the knot.
Bharatham Mitta in the distance will bear witness to this wedding.
I'm with you. Go, man.
Go on.
My love.
Lenin!
Bharathi, go with Vasanth.
I'll be right back!
Lenin.
Who sent you?
Who would send thugs to kill Vasanth, brother?
MLA?
Damodaram?
Could it be Tulasi from Kothacheruvu?
Brother?
Yes, Venkata Swamy.
Sir, just as you instructed, we've checked on all the suspects in Lenin's case.
None of them is around.
We were told they had left.
Where did everyone disappear to all of a sudden?
Who else would send thugs to kill Vasanth, brother?
Before I reveal who, let me share a brief story.
Once upon a time, in the Seshachalam Forest…
A leopard lived there.
A few years ago, it was injured and retreated into a cave.
It finally stepped out today.
On one hand, it has an unhealing wound
and on the other, an insatiable hunger.
Do you know how hungry it was?
It wanted to devour every single animal in the forest at once.
That's why…
the moment it stepped out, the leopard thought it through.
It meticulously planned a trap
and lured all the animals to one spot.
How pitiful.
Those animals actually thought they could hunt the leopard.
But what they don't realize…
is that what stands before them isn't a leopard.
It's Lenin!
By the way…
You asked who sent the goons to kill Vasanth, didn't you?
Yes, bro.
I brought him along with me.
Didn't anyone notice?
Who is that?
The Final Chapter of Kurukshetra.
The grand revelation.
Do you know what Lord Krishna told Arjuna in Kurukshetra?
Even a war should be fought calmly.
What?
Should we do the same?
Do you know the meaning behind the cosmic form Lenin drew?
When Arjuna hesitated to kill his own kin on the battlefield of Kurukshetra,
Lord Krishna told him something crucial.
"This is war."
"Do your duty."
If my guess is right…
he has brought everyone to one place.
If killing them is his duty,
then stopping him is ours.
- Delhi. - Brother.
That's one severed head.
Count how many more are left.
Including the severed head, there are 99 men, brother.
Sir, it's been three days since Bharatham Mitta concluded.
Why are there smokes in the pyre pit?
Last time, Pushpa Yagam was already taking place.
I don't get it too. Let's wait for a couple of days.
Let's see how this wedding takes place.
Go.
The power will go out right when Vasanth is about to tie the knot.
And before the lights come back on, he must die.
Wait!
Who do you think you are, barging straight inside? Go back.
Go back.
Brother-in-law. Why is Ethirajulu going into this lodge?
He's a lonely man, after all. Maybe he's looking for some company.
Should we go in as well?
Ugh! I haven't stooped so low as to watch him in his naked glory.
- Let's just take a quick look. - Go and get the groceries for your sister.
- I am leaving brother-in-law. - Go.
- Who's there? - It's me.
Take all the money and get out.
We don't accept payment until the job is done.
Hey, what's this?
You only lost a hand this time.
If you want to stay alive, leave.
Lenin has started hunting.
If he finds out you are involved…
your head will roll, you numbskull!
If he reached you, it means he has found me.
I will call you when the time comes.
Go now.
Hey!
Why are you looking at me like that, Kannaiah?
I did nothing wrong.
On her deathbed, my mother told me to live a righteous life.
To live like Dharma Raju.
Since that day, I've walked the path of righteousness.
But no matter how righteous I was…
every wagging tongue in this village says there is no honor in my birth.
Ethirajulu, his father's illegitimate son keeps loitering around.
They call me a mistress's son.
Hey,
Kannaiah, I didn't even marry anyone because of those insults.
Oh, let them talk, Kannaiah.
People will spew whatever nonsense they want.
But, Kannaiah…
if we want to shut all those wagging tongues,
I need to become Dharma Raju!
When I walk down the street with that title…
Everyone who mocked me,
especially my sister-in-law.
will greet me with folded hands.
As long as my sister-in-law and her family are around,
I can never become Dharma Raju!
When all the roads in my life were closed,
a new path finally opened before me.
Except for the two of us, no one else must ever know about this.
Okay, sister.
If I expose that my sister-in-law is the one who had Vaidehi killed,
she will be finished.
The only one left in the family is Vasanth.
Even though I've looked up to him as an uncle since I was little,
he was swayed by his mother's manipulation
and always sidelined me.
And then, the moment he arrived,
He invited the MLA
for the hospital inauguration and picked a fight with him.
Everyone's eyes were locked on Vasanth.
Taking advantage of that,
I planned to kill him and pin the blame on them, Kannaiah.
But I missed him by a whisker.
I give you my word today, Kannaiah.
Whatever it takes, I will become Dharma Raju.
Even if I have to stray from the righteous path,
I will claim that title.
Where were you?
To find out who sent thugs after you.
Raghava Reddy hasn't returned from Hyderabad yet.
Do you even realize what you are doing?
Without a second thought…
Bharathi left everything for you.
Have you given her feelings any thought at all?
- It's not that-- - Hey.
When that day comes, no one gets spared. Got it?
I gave Bharathi my word that I'd get her married to you.
Go take care of that first.
Hey.
Above everything else…
your happiness is what matters most to me.
Uncle, for someone who left everything behind…
this village became my whole world.
Ever since, Bharatham Mitta has been my home.
And you became my family.
If even a single person among you disapproves of my wedding…
I won't go through with it.
I saw how sad you were when Vaidehi ran away.
But I should never be the reason for that.
Today, Bharathi walked away from everything for me.
But I am equally ready to walk away from her.
But before I go, let me say one last thing.
Whenever trouble strikes the neighboring villages,
you always lend them a hand.
That hand of yours has never cared about race, caste, or creed.
I ask you this while holding that very hand.
Will you give me your daughter's hand
and bless us with a future, Uncle?
I'll cherish her for a lifetime.

Goddess Mother,
the sacred pyre must cool down for the ritual to begin.
Perhaps the roots deep underground caught fire,
because it is still smoldering from within.
Dousing it bodes ill for the village.
Protect us from all harm, Goddess Mother.
Ethirajulu.
You know why we called here?
You only lost a hand this time.
If you want to stay alive, leave.
We don't care about your personal grudge.
But to kill Vasanth,
you have our full backing.
Why are you silent?
We won't lay a finger on Lenin.
You couldn't, even if you tried.
Tell me, what do you want me to do?
Hey.
Get him a job inside the hospital.
We need to pick an auspicious time
to hunt down Vasanth.
If you don't cut back on sweets now,
diabetes will kill you.
Consider this my final warning.
Who is the new kid?
Him? He joined recently.
Alright, you get some rest now.
Okay. Be careful.
Hey, we have to tend to uncle every day.
Make sure to keep reminding me.
Around 8:00 pm every night,
he visits the field to give his uncle an injection, brother.
He told us to meet him here, but why hasn't he arrived yet?
He went to the station to inquire about Vaidehi, Uncle.
Bharathi.
He's here.
Did you find out anything?
What I always say. They're actively looking.
I told a lot of other people too.
Hey!
I asked my acquaintances in Madras to look for her.
Are they actively looking?
Everyone is strictly on the case.
The truth will surface very soon.
My love, please don't worry.
No matter where Vaidehi is, it's my responsibility to bring her back.
Okay.
My love.
What happened?
Hey, Lenin, you son of a gun!
Hey! Junior Lenin is coming!
This is the happiest moment of our lives, Vasanth.
- Thank you so much. - Don't bow to me like I'm a saint.
- I have to tell Mom the good news. - Doctor!
- Vasanth, son!
Bring her in!
- What's wrong? - Bharathi!
- I brought her a perfect match… - What happened?
- but she says she loves some stranger. - Hurry, take her inside!
- Because I said no, she took farm poison! - Hurry. Don't panic.
- Oh no! Oh dear! - She will be fine. Don't worry.
Vasanth?
You brought her just in time. She is out of danger.
She needs twenty-four hours of rest. Don't disturb her. Okay?
You can see her once she wakes up.
You're unbelievable, Uncle!
Have you lost your mind, Uncle? How can you even think like this?
Honor can be won back,
but a lost child can never return.
- Think about it once, Uncle. - Uncle, please.
Bharathi! Bharathi! Let's go. Hey, come on! Let's go!
I'm leaving, Uncle. Hey…
Let's stop by the farm on the way and give Uncle his insulin.
- Hmm? - Okay.
Brother! Along with that Vasanth Lenin and Bharathi are also coming.
We got all those fools!
Hey!
What do you mean Lenin and Bharathi are coming?
I swear, each and every one of you!
If anyone lays a finger on them,
- Damn you, Raghava Reddy! - Hey!
- I will rip your throat out! - Hey.
- What can you even do? - Hey, pull him away.
- Take him away! - Let me go, you numbskulls!
Let me go!
Plant the landmine!
Hey, don't take the car down that dirt road. Stop right here.
The car is here, but there's no driver.
Hey! Uncle seems to be somewhere inside!
At this hour, on this bumpy road,
all these jerks won't be good for Bharathi.
You guys take the main road.
I'll catch up.
All right.
- Be careful. - Alright.
Brother, he's coming alone.
Why is he coming alone?
Uncle's laying an ambush behind that banyan tree!
Brother Raghava Reddy is guarding the bypass!
Damodhar Uncle's hiding in the foxhole!
Tulasi's hiding across the culvert!
Thought you'd blow me up with a landmine?
Why would you go to such extremes?
What if your plan had worked,
and Lenin and Bharathi, who were in the car, had died?
What would happen to me?
Watching your silly antics,
it's quite amusing, honestly.
In this joyful moment, I feel like narrating you a story!
And don't think it's a story from ages ago.
It's a story that took place
just ten minutes ago in our hospital.
Oh, Mother!
It breaks my heart to see you this way. You remind me of someone.
He's from our village!
Do you know what he's like?
He keeps it all inside.
He hides it all…
until the time is right.
That's the kind of guy he is.
Three years ago…
when he came back to the village for a festival,
he saw a girl.
The moment he laid eyes on her,
he completely lost his mind.
He, who used to keep everything to himself,
started following her around, even in Madras.
He quickly finished his medicine,
and returned, determined to win her over.
But then, he hit a snag.
Neelakantam sent a message, son.
He wants to wed his eldest daughter, Vaidehi, to you.
She's a wonderful girl!
She is entering your life.
I am so incredibly happy.
Mom.
Since the time is right, I'll tell you.
I don't want this marriage.
Why?
Are you in love with someone?
Yes, Mom.
I am in love with Bharathi!
Alright then.
Let's talk with Bharathi's family.
Worst case?
We wait until the elder sister gets married.
- I'll talk to them! - There is no chance for that.
Vaidehi is in love with me.
I want to marry Vasanth.
Now, if I reject this marriage,
Bharathi will find out that Vaidehi was in love with me.
If that happens…
I can never be a part of Bharathi's life.
I've thought this through, Mom.
Just like Jayanthi has only one son,
what if Neelakantam has only one son-in-law?
Son!
Mom.
I've never asked you for anything since childhood!
Except for this.
Please, Mom.
I'll take care of everything else.
Just do as I say.
Vaidehi.
Did you tell anyone else
besides this tree that you love me?
No, Vasanth.
How did you know?
I need to meet you in private.
Shall we? Don't tell anyone.
Okay.
Govindu…
This letter…
must be placed in Vaidehi's room.
Okay, sister.
I thought my plan would win her over,
but she made me a laughing stock.
My heart beats for him, Vasanth.
But it doesn't matter.
If you want to marry me regardless, it's up to you.
Seeing everyone laugh at my situation was humiliating.
I felt like crying.
I was so mad,
I wanted to kill her on the spot.
So, what did I do?
I handed her to my friend, whom she loved.
Just as she humiliated me in front of everyone
and ruined my happiest day,
I decided to take revenge on her happiest day.
With the Pushpa Yagam, the Bharatham Mitta concludes this year.
Her love story began there,
and it must end there.
That's why I postponed it a little.
Until I say, the sacrificial fire must keep burning.
At last, the time has come for my revenge.
This is the happiest moment of our lives, Vasanth!
This is the day I've been waiting for!
You mean…
What will you do to Bharathi now?
What will I do?
How long did that girl suffer, suffocating to death, brother?!
Just two minutes!
But I’ve been enduring that exact same hell for a month!
At last, the God fulfilled my wish.
Now, all of you must stand by my side.
What will it take to end your vengeance, brother?
Damodhar Uncle!
Seven weeks of bridal jewelry for Aunt!
Crafted from the finest pure gold!
Along with that…
All the land you can limp across in a day will be yours!
Raghava Reddy brother!
I’ll put up a towering cutout of you at Bharatham Mitta.
Most importantly…
I really believe my father's death was an accident!
Ethirajulu!
I know you've been trying to kill me.
I know everything!
Even if my father didn't see you as a brother,
I still honor you as my uncle.
I'm telling you this, swearing on Bharatham Mitta.
I’ll make you the trustee and honor you like Dharma Raju himself.
Think it over carefully!
From now on, you're either with me or against me!
If you oppose me,
I’m taking ten of your heads with me!
Hey, Vasanth.
What exactly do you want?
The time has come to put out the sacrificial fire.
We have to celebrate this festival grandly this year!
To make that happen,
you must all stand by me!
At our Bharatham Mitta,
the most pivotal ritual,
is Pushpa Yagam.
Since the sacred fire went out yesterday
Today,
Goddess Draupadi
will step outside the inner sanctum,
be taken on a procession across villages,
and by the night…
she will return to the temple.
Until then,
these temple grounds shall remain sealed.
The next year,
you're Dharma Raju, Uncle.
They're coming out for Goddess' chariot procession.
Get the plan started.
I wonder where sir is coming from.
The procession of Mother Draupadi. I was closing the temple.
I won't be able to again anyways.
You know how sad I feel, my love?
You don't have to feel that sad.
The village will look after Her.
But there's no one to look after me.
Why would you say that, my love?
It's a fact.
You told me you would take me to a movie.
Go and fresh up. I'll prepare dinner.

I'm MLA Raghava Reddy.
No matter what happens at Ramapuram's fair today,
not a single cop should go there.
- Dude! - Yes!
- Isn't that Ranganna? - Yes!
The village festival is tonight, so where are they heading?
- I have no idea. - Stop! Let's see.
Brother, pull over.
Hey… !
Hey!
Where are you guys sneaking off to?
Someone's already up front getting ready to perform.
Where else would we go?
Bro, what are you talking about?
Drop the act, Lenin.
Vasanth said you sent them yourself.
Vasanth?!
- Hey, get the bike! - Ranganna.
- Trusting them… - Wait.
- was our mistake. - Why would I say that?
That's not it, dude.
If you didn't call and they left, who is even there?
- Let's go check. - Yeah, let's go.
Something's fishy.
Hey, dude--
Hey!
Hey, dude…
Hey! Dude!
Hey! Hey!
Hey…
Hey!
Leave me, brother! Leave me! Listen me out.
- Hey! - Listen to me, brother!
He killed her, brother!
Vasanth killed Subbaiah's daughter after she drank poison, brother!
I overheard everything he told Sulochana.
He's been madly in love with Bharathi for ages.
He didn't get you two married out of love.
He did it for revenge.
For bringing things this far, you don't deserve forgiveness.
Only your happiness matters.
He looks human on the outside.
He's a monster on the inside, brother.
You're terrified just from seeing a random girl get killed.
If something happens to your parents tomorrow…
- God knows what will become of you! - Please, don't do it, brother.
- I won't tell anyone, brother! - Hey, hey!
You have to.
You must tell.
Tell him everything you saw and heard.
After the accident…
He asked me to give you this cassette.
I couldn't tell anyone about my love.
At least I should tell someone about my revenge, right?
Hey Lenin,
the day I first wanted to marry Bharathi,
I learned that our friends apparently had a plan to stop it.
They planned to cut the power, drag Bharathi away, and escape in a car.
By the time you hear this,
I'll have already killed them just like they planned.
I killed them without you knowing.
Until you arrive, I won't touch Murali and Bharathi.
Come quickly and save them. My love!
Bharathi!
Bharathi! Come out.

Why are you doing this?
Hey Vasanth, where's Murali?
You didn't arrive in time, so we killed him.
- Hey! - This is desecration!
Changing Draupadi's temple to Bharathi's is sacrilege!
Hey Murali, what happened?
Where's Bharathi?
- Hey, Murali, tell me! - Forgive me!
HEY!
Oh no!
HEY!
Hey…
Hey, Murali!
What did you smoke?
Please let me go, brother.
Please brother. No.
I beg you, brother.
HEY!
Hey! Hey!
Hey!
Murali, please tell me where Bharathi is.
Bharathi!
Bharathi. Bhar-- Bharathi!
Murali…
Hey Murali, tell me!
Hey, I can't see a damn thing!
Hey. Hey!
Hey!
Bharathi!
Hey!
Ethirajulu!
Uncle!
Where are you?!
What is all this?
Bharathi never harmed any of you.
BHARATHI!
Hey!
Please, I'm begging you.
Let Bharathi go. She's my life.
Bharathi, my love!
You'll be fine.
You'll be fine!
Hey. Hey.
Hey, Vasanth!
Let Bharathi go. What did she do to you?
You told me to marry her. Don't do this!
Don't hurt her. Let her go.
Please let her go.
I beg you, please.
She's innocent. Spare her.
- Please, don't harm her. - Hey! Hey! Hey!
Seeing you beg like this,
I don't even want to hurt Bharathi anymore.
But…
She's not in the temple.
What could have happened? Did she run?
Or…
Could she be dead?!

Hey, hey, hey.
My love! My love!
Bharathi, Bharathi, Bharathi.
My love.
Bharathi.
Hey.
Bharathi.
Two people died that day.
One was Bharathi…
and the other was
your father.
My Bharathi told me her heart beats for you.
Then how could I ever kill
my best friend who owns that heart?
That's why I made you kill her.
Lenin!
I am not angry with you at all.
But I'm only furious about Bharathi.
Furious that she was never mine.
Your mom told me everything.
I came here for you.
If you still believe I killed your dad…
kill me now.
Forgive me, brother-in-law. Please forgive me.
- I misunderstood you. - Get up.
Get up.
Kill him, dude. Kill him.
Kill them as I make the count.
Hey, Delhi.
These conflicts must end with me.
Go.
Brother Gangadhar!
Take all the boys who work in the bar with you.
Alright, Lenin.
Hey, everyone come fast.
You leave, Delhi.
Go.
Where the hell is Vasanth?
Hey!
Chop him to pieces!
Where is Vasanth?
What is this, Mom?
You called your son over to kill me?
You didn't even inform me beforehand.
Don't be afraid.
I won't kill him with my hands.
We can't kill him anyway.
Because…
We know how to backstab,
but we lack the courage to strike him to his face.
People do mistakes to survive.
But we committed sins.
We killed our beloved Vaidehi.
We smeared Bharatham Mitta with blood and turned it into a cremation ground.
I carried the burden for these people,
only to become the cause of their tears.
That's why,
his friendship turned into enmity.
What you believed to be love became a calamity.
While her love for the husband made Gandhaari blind,
Motherly love…
made me blind to the truth
and drove me to kill a woman.
I died that day itself.
That's why I went over to see him.
Forgive me, son.
The village thrived as long as his love lived.
Not anymore.
My son's revenge brought Bharatham Mitta to an end,
and the curse is turning the village into a graveyard.
It can only flourish with Lenin's love.
Please help us.
Hey, leave.
Your death is waiting for you.
Sir.
I heard Ethirajulu took care of Lenin like a father.
How could he kill him looking him in the eye?
Because he couldn't see.
Sir.
What do you mean, sir?
It's true, Venkata Swamy.
Lenin is blind.
♪ Rakasikara ♪
Lenin's eyes were injured at the festival
by the chemicals thrown at him.
He slowly lost his eyesight.
Do you know what he said when we told him to get treated?
I don't need eyesight, sir.
I imagined a beautiful life with Bharathi.
Since I lost that life,
why do I need my sight?
I thought that was the truth.
Now I understand.
He decided to wage war against his loved ones.

♪ Rakasikara ♪
That's why he chose to wipe out his weakness.
Hey, everyone go to Chandragiri bar.
Before Vasanth gets there, make sure nobody touches him.
I told exactly as you wanted.
Please let me go, Lenin.
I will, but…
The heads of these men who abandoned justice…

Since he couldn't find them all, he brought them to one place.

Hey, hey! Vasanth.
Where are you going?
What?
Are you afraid of death?
I was afraid too…
That I'd die without finishing you off.
I feel extremely happy today.
Hey! Hey, Lenin.
Let me go.
I beg you.
Hey, Vasanth.
I'm not angry with you at all.
It's just love…
for Bharathi.
It's been twelve days since Bharatham Mitta began.
It means 288 hours.
17,280 minutes.
Ten lakhs, thirty six thousand and eight hundred seconds.
Because of him, it felt like an instant.
If he were right here,
I’d ask him to give me moments like these forever.
What do you say?
Will you give me?
My love!
Only two remained after the Kurukshetra war, Rajendra.
Dharma Raju and a dog.
It's the same here.
