[Devotional song playing]
Today's generation wants everything instantly.
They have absolutely no patience.
What’s your name, boy?
Why do we need introductions to the man who ran off with my daughter, Peddi Reddy?
Just kill that scoundrel!
If it comes to that, I’ll have to kill your daughter too.
Your daughter also chose to run away... she didn’t go out to watch a movie.
First teach the children what mistake they’ve actually made.
Lavanya!
Is it your mother's name?
Sister's?
Younger sister's?
God forbid, is "Lavanya" your daughter's name?
Did he get a tattoo? He must have.
You guys do stunts like this just to impress girls.
If you want a tattoo,
ink the names of the ones who'll think about you from the day you were born until their very last breath...
your mother and father.
Did we raise our daughters just for you to run off with them?
And if you get married and return, are we supposed to wash your feet?
you want a tattoo, don't you?
Come, I'll give you one!
Please, sir... spare me. I beg you.
Please let me go.
Please sir.
Before falling in love with a girl,
shouldn’t you first know whose daughter she is and who stands behind her family?
Sir.. sir.. sir...
Before this wound heals, you must be out of her life.
Guys, move!
Ask your daughter where she got her tattoo and have it removed.
How can such sinful acts happen in a place this holy?
Is this your first time in Tirupati?
Yes.
Many people come here to seek merit after committing sins.
But this place has more sinners than saints.
By the way, who is that man?
Who else but Peddi Reddy!
In Tirupati, people fear Peddi Reddy as much as they fear the God on the hill.
[Devotional song playing]
Balu Orchestra... Shamiana Services.
What is it, boy? A wedding?
I have no plans for that anytime soon, sir.
Did someone pass away?
No one passed away...
I just came here myself.
No, that's not what I meant.
What is the occasion?
Is it a wedding, a funeral, a birthday, a felicitation, a retirement...
what is the event?
It’s not that, sir.
My uncle, Munirathnam, sent me to meet Mr. Balu.
Oh, is that so? Sorry, boy... come on in.
We haven't had customers in a while, so we mistake everyone who comes in for one.
That's why I spoke that way. Please don't mind.
Come on in.
Wow, you're so handsome!
[Singing a song]
Dear!
This young man has come to meet you.
Hi... I'm Sreenu. Ratnam Uncle sent me.
Your uncle is a dear friend of mine.
He even called to let me know you were coming.
By the way, I heard there was some trouble at the college.
Yes, sir. It was a student issue.
It started as a minor scuffle but escalated into a major case.
Well, fights are common in our age group.
By the way, you had no trouble finding my place, right?
I was actually shocked!
When I asked for your address, people were competing to bring me here...
they practically started fighting over it.
That's the respect they have for the artist in me.
Regardless, I’m very happy to stay in the home of such a great person like you for four days.
Why just four days? Stay as long as you like.
Hey, why are you standing there like a statue?
Go... show Sreenu his room.
Sure. Come along, boy.
Bloody useless! You total dimwit.
[Singing a song]
Since when has he been missing?
It’s been two days, sir.
Namaste.
You stay here.
Shall I sit?
Of course, sit down.
If we make even a small mistake, you pile endless cases on us, don’t you?
But Peddi Reddy assaulted our boy in the middle of the road, right in front of everyone,
without even caring that he was just a young boy.
What are you going to do about him?
If someone eloped with a girl from your family, would you just stay quiet?
Didn't the girl know she was eloping?
Did she just follow him because he showed her a chocolate?
You're talking complete nonsense, DSP!
Look, Narayanappa,
whether you want to talk and settle for a marriage...
or hold a meeting to get money for medical expenses, that’s up to you.
Don't waste my time unnecessarily.
You’ve shown your true colors.
You look down on us just because we're migrants from Tamil Nadu, don't you?
You think we’re powerless.
There are nearly 50,000 of us here in Tirupati.
We’ll see how this ends.
Alright then...
Brother, how can he speak like that?
We're not locals, are we?
Peddi Reddy is crushing us in everything from business to personal matters.
Don't we can't touch him, brother.
You know the story of Gajendra Moksham, right?
It’s like when an elephant enters a lake for water and a crocodile grabs it.
What is a crocodile’s strength compared to an elephant's? Nothing.
But the lake is the crocodile’s home turf.. just like Tirupati is to Peddi Reddy.
Like that elephant, let’s trust in God.
He will manifest in some form to help us.
Then we’ll deal with that Peddi Reddy.
Alright then, I’ll get going. - Okay Brother.
Okay Brother.
Why did you remove your thali (sacred thread)?
Because it was getting wet in the temple pond...
So what if it gets wet?
Don't you care about your husband’s well-being?
You...
I'll dunk you in the water three times along with that thali, you...!
Oh, not again... I can't do this anymore!
Oh God!
Manga! Sister Manga!
Sister Manga!
"As if the light of a hundred thousand full moons gathered together,"
"and the radiance of the stars stood before me..."
Sister Manga, you’re being called over there!
I'm coming.
"As if the divine forms of all the angels appeared together in a single vision..."
"As if an explosion as vast as the sky suddenly crashed down upon me..."
"My heart is exploding... It’s bursting apart..."
"I’m unable to withstand this feeling flowing through every atom of me..."
"I’m unable to hold onto a dream this beautiful even for a moment."
"My heart is exploding..."
"It’s bursting apart..."
"My heart is exploding... It’s bursting apart..."
"Gazing at your golden lips, I forgot to blink."
"I forgot to breathe reading your eyes."
"I forgot to look around me while playing with your flowing hair."
"I even forgot my own existence while drowning in your beauty."
"That rare forehead... That heavy bosom..."
"That slender waist all are yours alone."
"That gentle step... That lively way of speaking... That graceful little sway... all belong to you..."
"As all your youthful charms strike down upon me like lightning..."
"My heart is exploding... It’s bursting apart..."
God, bless me to remain safe tomorrow just as I was yesterday and as I am today.
Also, bless those asking for fortunes and...
ordinary people like me struggling to eat, all the same.
I won’t disturb you anymore. See you tomorrow.
Bye.
[Song playing]
Hey! - Hey, get lost.
(Singing)
Hey, get lost.
You...
Hey! Give me one Tea... - No way. Get lost!
Why are you staring at me like that? - Okay.
When will you give me my money, Swatantra Babu?
He said he'd pay. Didn't he? - Who?
You...
Hey! Hey! Stop right there...
One cigarette.
I'm Swatantra Babu.
Sreenu!
Brother, in Tirupati, 90 out of 100 people are named Sreenu.
But you look unique, like one in a hundred.
You’ve got a divine glow on your face.
I think you come from a respectable family.
You’re not from Tirupati, are you?
How’d you know?
I make a couple of rounds around Tirupati every single day, brother.
There’s hardly anyone in Tirupati I don’t recognize or know about.
But you... this is the first time I’m seeing you.
So, what do you do here in Tirupati?
I spend my mornings studying people...
and in the evening, after a drink, I set out to change the world.
Forget about changing the world for now.
First, change your Tirupati, Swatantra Babu.
What happened?
The day I arrived in Tirupati,
I saw someone beating up a young man right in the middle of the road.
What was that atrocity?
What? You mean the incident that happened near the MR Palli Circle?
Oh! He's Peddi Reddy.
He was once my disciple.
If he changes, then Tirupati will change.
I see. But where exactly is Peddi Reddy’s house?
Why do you ask?
Oh... since you said he’s violent, I wanted to see what his house would be like.
If you’re scared, you don’t have to say it.
Scared?
Didn’t you read the papers recently, brother?
According to Forest Department records, there are 12 tigers roaming the Seshachalam forests.
But what they don't know is that the 13th tiger is roaming right here in Tirupati.
A tiger! Where?
Brother...
I am that 13th tiger!
Don't be scared, let's go.
Though, this tiger gets a bit thirsty in the evening; I'll need a drink.
Please... - Ok, let's go.
Right, brother... Right.
There... See that poster? That's the house.
Oh no! Why did you stop here, brother?
Just wanted to take a look.
Brother, you asked me to show you that house, but you didn't say you'd stop the vehicle here.
If Peddi Reddy's men spot us here, we'll be done for, brother.
Let's go brother... please.
But didn't you just say you were the thirteenth tiger of Seshachalam?
Even a tiger shouldn't wander into the village sometimes, brother.
Let's go... Come on.
Oh no! They've seen us!
Hey, who the hell are you people?
I'm not the thirteenth tiger, brother. It's Peddi Reddy! Let's go!
I know. - Come on, let’s go.
Hey Pallavi! - What is it?
That guy standing by the bike over there... do we know him?
Why?
He’s staring at us as if he knows us.
Maybe he's looking at someone else. Let's go.
The signal's on. Move!
Who is this guy? Why is he stalking us like this?
Tirupati is full of crazy people these days. Don’t mind him... let's go.
How much is it?
Rs 1000/-
Okay.
Hey, let's go... - What happened?
Hello... Excuse me.
Do you like me?
What are you talking about? - Will you keep quiet?
I’m talking to her, right?
You tell me. Do you like me?
What do you mean "like you"?
Then why have you been following me since the signal?
I’m not following you!
You’re completely misunderstanding the situation.
Let's say the first signal was a misunderstanding.
Let's assume the second signal was one too.
What about this shop?
Staring at my back in this shop... is that a misunderstanding as well?
Hello!
We weren't looking at your back.
Besides, there's nothing special to look at.
See?
That means you did look!
We came here to buy a mobile pouch.
Go ask the shopkeeper if you don’t believe us.
Yeah, right. Everyone who gets caught says exactly the same thing.
What?!
Look... there's nothing wrong with liking someone, checking them out, or even following them.
But denying it when you're asked outright... that's what's wrong.
Are you embarrassed because your friend is here?
Should I give you my number?
Hello!
Do you have any idea who she’s related to?
Do you know who I am?
Why are we even arguing?
Let's just go.
Won't you let newcomers to Tirupati live in peace?
Don't you have brothers?
Why are you troubling us in a holy place like this?
Come on, let's go.
"Ye Manga Hey Manga, you are definitely an angel,"
"from which celestial world did you fall down from?"
"Ye Manga Hey Manga, as this Sreenu is blessed,"
"you have arrived on these Seven hills."
"I have closed my nose and taken dip, I have grown lean,"
"I have performed many prayers."
"You wore your wings and descended like the nectar, and filled my life with brightness."
"I am not one among the thousand, I am the one who has filled his heart with you."
"You were born for me, I will die in your absence."
"The eyes Manga sees through belong to me, Manga's teeth belong to me,"
"Manga's whole body is mine, and I will store you in me."
"Manga, I will get my head shaved, I will roll on the floor during prayers,"
"Manga, I will observe fasting for you, because I am in love with you."
"Every path you are walking is calling out to me."
"Every breath of yours is evident in this air."
"If you have a heart in you, you can hear the chaos in my heart."
"If you have some love in you, you can see my love that is all around you."
"Manga, I will massage your legs, Manga, I will braid your hair,"
"Manga, I will kiss you every minute."
"Manga, don't remove me, Manga, don't push me away,"
"Manga, don't slice me, I will come back every time."
"Ye Manga Hey Manga,"

"Ye Manga Hey Manga,"
'when will you rest your head on my lap and converse with me?"
"If you agree to it, I will marry you, I will build a temple to worship you."
"If we are blessed with a child, we will name him Venkatesulu."

"Manga's whole body is mine, and I will store you in me."
"Manga, I will get my head shaved, I will roll on the floor during prayers,"
"Manga, I will observe fasting for you, because I am in love with you."
Manga...!
Sister, we have holidays now... let’s go somewhere.
Where shall I take you all?
How about going to Aunt Varalakshmi’s place?
Yes! Let's go! Let's go!
Come on, let's go ask.
I'll come. - Uncle!
I'll call you back.
Yes, tell me?
Since the kids have holidays,
Mom and Aunt are suggesting we visit Aunt Varalakshmi’s place.
Sure, go ahead.
But just inform your father before you leave.
My father is something else. For everything, he just says, 'Ask your father.'
Let’s ask.
Daddy! - Yes, tell me?
The kids have their school holidays.
We’re thinking of visiting Aunt Varalakshmi’s house.
There’s no need for that, ma.
We’ll invite Aunt here in a few days.
You may go now.
Hey Sreenu... who is he?
That’s my friend, Swatantra Babu.
You've been here just two days, and you've already made a friend?
Sir! you...
[Singing song]
You're Singer Balu, aren't you?
Oh my god... I’m your biggest fan, sir!
Good evening, sir!
Do you know me?
Sir, how could I not know you?
When Yatam Subba Rao died in the second street of Gandhi Nagar,
you came and sang, didn't you, sir?
I didn't cry because he died...
Then?
I cried so hard after hearing you sing, I even threw up, sir.
What?!
Sir... you sang so beautifully, sir!
Okay.
Sir!
If you don't mind...
Sir, if you don't mind, may I have a peg?
Just one. - Yeah, Please...
Thank you sir.
Just one.
Sreenu, there's beer in the fridge, help yourself to one too.
Just call me Balu. No need for all the "sir."
I'm Gen Z too.
I have a lot of respect for you, Balu.
I simply can’t address you informally.
You’re quite an energetic fellow.
Are you married, Swatantra Babu?
It’s a long story.
Then grab a strong drink and make it short.
The first time I went to see a prospective bride, they asked us to talk in private.
She told me she was in love with someone else and asked me to reject the match
and what did you do?
I did exactly what she asked.
After that, I married another girl. It was our wedding night.
The girl walked in with a glass of milk and said,
"I love someone else and I’m eloping tomorrow; please forgive me."
I told her, "Elope right now," and let her go.
A man’s desires never really die, right? That’s why I married again.
Did she also tell you she loved someone else?
Oh, she didn't tell me, brother.
Then?
I overheard her on the phone with her lover, discussing how to kill me!
I told her, "Why ruin someone's life just to get married?
Go be with the man you love."
Since then, I decided it doesn't matter if I don't have a wife; as long as I have my life, that's enough...
ugh, no no...
I’ve been living a very simple life, on my own.
That’s very unfortunate.
That's not it, Swatantra Babu.
When three different women told you they loved someone else...
how did you react?
Come on, Balu.
Even Kamal Haasan couldn't pull off that reaction!
True.
Despite knowing there are plenty of girls out there,
our Sreenu is roaming around with this girl here, completely ignoring everything else, Balu sir!
Sreenu... who is that girl?
If you find out who she is, there'll be a tune in your throat...
Tell me!
This is my sleep time...
Good night!
I have many aunties waiting for me.
Aunties?!
Where?
On the temple steps!
Ugh, damn you... yuck!
Do you like me?
I told you to stop following me.
Don't follow me anymore.
I... I wasn't following you... I wasn't following you...
Manga!
Manga! What happened, dear?
Traffic... traffic...
traffic...
What happened, sister? What's wrong?
Look how she's drenched in sweat.
I told her not to travel by bikes and buses, but she never listens.
Don’t we have enough money? Don’t we have enough cars?
Now look... some evil eye must have struck her, or some bad luck has caught up.
Hey! Shut your mouth!
Let her live exactly as she pleases.
Okay.
How many times must I tell you?
Everyone, get out of here!
I... I just prefer being like this, Father.
What happened, my child?
Just a bad dream, Father...
Didn't I tell you not to overthink things?
Just live your life the way you want.
If any trouble comes your way, you tell me.
Alright?
Go back to sleep...
[Indistinct chatter]
Hello... who are you?
The teacher asked me to come urgently... he wanted to talk to me about something.
Who is that teacher?
Hello, hello... who are you?
I’m the recipient of the 1988–89 Nandi Award.
For which play?
'Tirigirani Pativrata' [The sacred Wife Who Never Returned!]
You wouldn’t have even been born back then.
This is the dialogue here, right?
Come, let's sit here.
Which area are you from?
Mangalampalli?
Or the Leela Mahal area?
Just tell me where exactly; I'll be there in two minutes.
No, it's Police Lines.
I won't come all the way out there.
Manga! Ready?
Getting late... rehearsal, guys!
Vamsi!
Are you leaving?
Is this it?
Are we really separating forever?
These days, even many married couples are breaking apart.
We just loved each other, that’s all.
"Just" loved each other?
How can you dismiss our years of love in a single moment with the word "just," Vamsi?
It’s hard for you...
I know, Pavani.
But we have no choice. You must forget.
I might be able to forget the whole world, but I can... never forget you.
Don’t you understand when I tell you?
Time heals all wounds.
But time doesn't heal wounds, Vamsi...
it keeps them alive in the form of your memories...
Come on, Manga... come on.
As memories of you...
What is this Manga?
You aren't doing a good job.
If you can’t perform the role properly, why not give the character to someone else?
Look, Manga, I'm losing my confidence because of you...
You act like you're some legendary Nana Patekar...
you're just reciting lines without giving them any real expression.
We don’t have much time, Pallavi... you know that, right?
Manga is not getting it right.
Why are you leaving?
you're actually doing very well.
But you're afraid of something.
I can see it in your eyes.
If you can just let go of that fear, no one will be able to match your performance.
Did I ask you?
Did I ask for your opinion?
Who are you to tell me whether I did well or not?
Are you my friend?
My teacher?
Or a family member?
Why are you following me around and annoying me like this?
Me? You’re the one who keeps coming after me.
Stop it.
Enough.
Manga!
Hey...
What did you just blabber?
What rubbish are you talking?
Hey, what’s going on here?
Brother, this guy is bothering Manga.
So you’re all Peddireddy’s men?
Exactly. So what are you going to do about it?
What’s your name? Where are you from?
Where do you live?
Why, brother? Are you planning on sending me a gift?
If you show your face here again, whether on the hill or under it...
your body will be the one returning home.
Look, brother...
I usually don't go looking for trouble.
But if someone messes with me, I won’t stop until I’ve smashed them to pieces.
I swear on Lord venkateswara!
If I can’t lay my hands on at least one of you, I’ll leave Tirupati myself!
How could you throw burning coals at my beautiful face?
Manga! Come here for a moment, dear.
Did anyone bother you near the class yesterday?
No, uncle.
But our people said they saw someone troubling you yesterday?
He’s just a friend, uncle.
Alright, you go now.
She says he's her friend.
How can you just rush in without even knowing who he is?
Inside, the DSP is telling Brother exactly the same thing.
Stay out of trouble and avoid any scuffles for a while.
Now go.
It’s not just Narayanappa, sir.
There are many people in Tirupati waiting for the right chance to get even with you.
I’ll handle all of that myself.
It’s been over a year since I filed a complaint about my missing licensed revolver.
Have you found out anything about it?
No, sir.
That gun is a family heirloom.
My grandfather gave it to my father, and my father passed it down to me.
Make finding it your priority, DSP.
Understood, sir.
I’ll take your leave.
but I can never forget you.
Don’t you understand when I tell you?
Time heals all wounds.
But time doesn't heal wounds, Vamsi...
it keeps them alive in the form of your memories...
Hey, who are you?
Hey, move aside.
Get lost.
You must forget everything.
Forget every moment we spent together...
Forget the countless hours we spent talking.
Forget that we ever even met.
Forget that someone like me even walked into your life.
Can't you forget?
Say something!
Time doesn't heal wounds, Vamsi...
In the form of your memories, it haunts me and kills me every single day.
How can I make you understand?
We first met at a wedding.
and now even the word 'wedding' only brings back memories of you.
You proposed to me in a temple.
Now, every time I step into a temple, I’m reminded of you.
Your very first touch...
our first kiss...
every single place we ever went together...
no matter where I go, all I see is you.
Do one thing...
Since you’re the one who loved me,
teach me how to forget you, too.
But you can’t, can you?
Dying isn't just about losing one's life, Vamsi.
Real death is when the person you love more than life itself stands right in front of you,
acting as if nothing ever happened.
But, I can't live like that, Vamsi.
My very last memory...
should be of your form.
Manga, that was incredible! You were amazing.
You reminded us of the old Manga...
those expressions were so natural!
Truly amazing, so natural. You did a great job.
Just a minute... - Yeah, sure.
I honestly didn't expect it... Manga did a fantastic job.
Thank you.
Leave all that aside, I have one doubt...
Have you ever been in love before?
Who knows...
Brother, that girl has developed a great opinion of you!
What are you going to do now?
It's simple, Swatantram.
I'll go to Manga and say,
I understand how much you love me since you've been following me for so long.
I accept your love.
Manga will be thrilled.
Then, Manga and I will roam all over Tirupati like a pair of lovebirds for a few days.
Sooner or later, some useless fellow will pass the news to Peddireddy.
That’s when Manga and I will be forced to elope.
And in his anger over his daughter running away with me, Peddireddy will kill Balu for giving me shelter...
and you, just for being my friend.
In our grief over your deaths,
Manga and I will get married with your photos placed beside us.
Now that we’re married, we’re bound to have a kid sooner or later.
If that happens...
If it’s a boy, I’ll name him after you, Swatantra Babu.
Then, I’ll take the little one, place him at Pedda Reddy's feet, and ask for forgiveness.
Overjoyed to see his grandson, Peddi Reddy will soften and embrace me as his "son-in-law."
That's it!
What?!
You two will unite, and I have to die?
Well, love does demand sacrifice, Swatantram.
Sreenu!
She is here.
Do you know how long I've been looking for you?
Why?
My engagement is the day after tomorrow...
you must come.
I don't think my brother heard you... tell him once more, dear.
My engagement is the day after tomorrow... you must come.
What’s with the sudden engagement?
It's not sudden at all.
Talks have been going on for a long time. I'm just telling you now.
Are you doing this of your own will?
Why would I give you a card if I didn't want this?
You must come, Sreenu.
I will personally bring him there, dear. You can go.
Bye.
Where did you swipe this from?
I earned this with my own sweat and blood, sir...
Look at that! Even the engagement is wrapping up.
So what do we do now?
It’s just a ring he put on her finger.
If I pawn it off, it’ll cover my honeymoon expenses.
Manga is mine!
No matter what happens, I am the one who will marry her.
Manga belongs only to me!
The play is in five days! And yeah, I’m feeling confident.
Sister, pass it over.
For me?
Hey, Manga...
Look over there.
When did you get on?
Thank you.
Sreenu, come inside.
Just like your heart, there's no place for me on this bus either.
What?
Nothing.
Are you moving to America after getting married?
Yeah!
I feel like crushing the guy who approved her American visa.
If you leave, who will be my friend in Tirupati?
Speaking of friends, am I even on your friends list?
Why bring all that up now?
Please, Manga. At least put me in your Top 20.
Sreenu...
Please, please, please.
I have very few friends, Sreenu.
Forget the Top 20...
you'd easily make my Top 10.
Just wait and see, Manga. By the time you get married, I'll be your Number One.
Forget Number One for now. Come inside first.
I’m fine right here.
By the way, when is your birthday?
October 3rd.
Aren't you going to ask me when my birthday is?
Tell me, when is your birthday? - Tomorrow.
Oh, happy birthday in advance, Sreenu!
No thanks.
Why, what happened?
I want to take you somewhere tomorrow.
If you promise to come, I’ll accept your "thanks."
Okay.
Let's meet tomorrow.
Shall we go?
This place is amazing, Sreenu!
I've lived in Tirupati since I was a child, and I never even knew a place like this existed here.
Manga...
Right here, right now... what exactly are you feeling?
I feel completely blank, Sreenu.
There are no thoughts in my head, no worries in my heart.
Everything just feels so peaceful.
Shall I do something that will make you feel this way for the rest of your life?
What is it?
If I tell you the moment you ask, where is the thrill in that for this Sreenu?
Close your eyes.
Why?
Close your eyes.
What are you doing?
Manga...
I love you.
This isn’t some impulsive decision, Manga.
Ever since the day I met you, I’ve treasured every single memory in my heart
and locked my love deep inside.
Now, even if you say you don't want me, I can't let you go.
Are you out of your mind?!
Just because I kept quiet when you followed me around and teased me...
just because I took it all as a joke and put up with your antics... you thought...?
Please, Manga, just listen to me once.
Listen to what?!
I treated you like a friend because you helped me.
Even though I’m engaged, I came with you without even asking where we were going.
But you brought me here with this in your mind?
This is completely wrong!
How could you expect me to call off a marriage I willingly agreed to, just because you love me?
How did you even get that thought, Sreenu?
Stop!
It's fine, I'll drop you near your house. - No need. Stop!
Let go of my hand!
Brother! You didn’t believe me when I told you the other day, right?
Look at him now, he's harassing Manga!
Manga, I'm running out of time, please...
What time?
First, let go of my hand!
Leave me.
I'm scared just looking at you, Sreenu.
Don't ever show me your face again... ever!
Hey, Stop it.
Om Namo Venkateshaya...!
O Lord Venkatesha, protect us... Bless us.
Om Namo Venkateshaya...! Om Namo Venkateshaya...!
Sinners like us are too far from God; we should just offer our prayers from a distance.
If we go too close, He’ll strike us down.
Only when we humble ourselves before God can we live in peace.
Who are you?
You guys have been pleading to see me for the past two days.
What’s the matter?
Didn't a group of men hack each other to death in the sugarcane fields near Rangampeta the other day?
The one who attacked them is our own guy.
The severed hand over there belongs to my younger son.
Good heavens!
Oh, was it you who did that?
Peddireddy is gunning for me, thinking I’m responsible for it.
You people don’t look like locals from Tirupati.
Tell me... what kind of old vendetta do you have against Peddireddy to target his own brother?
Peddireddy?
Who the hell is he anyway?
Oh damn!
That’s like entering the Kurukshetra war and asking who Krishna is...
You attacked Peddi Reddy's own brother without having any idea who you're dealing with?
Who are you people, really?
Who exactly are you people?
Who exactly did you attack?
Brother!
How are you?
I’m good. How about you?
I’m doing well.
Vara! - Brother!
How long have you been here?
Sorry, brother. I got a little late. How are you?
I'm doing well.
I have a small meeting. We'll talk this evening.
Okay.
In ten days, we have a celebration at this house.
Knowing that, that Narayanappa had the nerve to pull a stunt like this.
Stay alert for the next few days.
After the celebration, I will personally see to his 'final rites' (funeral).
What a brilliant twist to our story!
But Brother, it’s not safe for you to be out in the open like this.
Hey! Take Sir to the guest house and keep him there.
You stay there for now.
We’ll take our time and plan our next move carefully.
Wow, this looks beautiful.
This saree is great too.
Put it aside.
Vara, look at this one.
It’s nice, Sister-in-law. The color is lovely.
Keep this one aside too. - Sure, madam.
Manga!
Who is he?
Sreenu!
My friend.
Where does he live?
What's Peddi Reddy's sister doing here?
Where is he?
He's upstairs, flying kites.
Which way are the stairs?
That way.
By the way, who are you?
Who is she?
I don't know. She asked for Sreenu.
I told her he was upstairs, and she rushed up.
She asked for Sreenu?
She is Peddareddy’s sister!
Peddareddy’s sister?
Why did she come here?
How would I know?
Let’s go find out. Come on!
Vasu Babu!
Why’s she calling him Vasu Babu? - Isn’t his name Sreenu?
Vasu Babu!
What are you doing here in Tirupati?
You already know the answer. Why do you even ask?
We told you to stay out of Manga’s life forever.
We told you to forget her, Vasubabu!
Manga...
Yes. She's Peddi Reddy's daughter.
Peddi Reddy's daughter? Why didn't you tell me?
She's getting married in just ten days.
If my brother finds out you're in Tirupati, he won’t let you live.
You don't know what my brother is capable of, Vasu Babu.
But you know what I'm capable of, don't you?
Oh god... I’m begging you.
Please, listen to me. Leave Tirupati right now.
Manga isn't meant for you, Vasu Babu.
She is mine!
Manga will always be mine!
Who are you to tell me she isn't?
The only reason I came to Tirupati... was Manga.
Without Manga, this Sreenu isn't leaving Tirupati... no matter what.
Manga is mine!
[In Kannada] Hey! One case of beer and two full bottles.
[In Kannada] ₹4,500.
How dare you ask for money!
Can't you see who's there?
Babu (Boss) is there.
Who’s the "Boss"? Whose boss is he anyway?
Brother!
When I tell him the Boss sent me to get it,
he has the nerve to ask "Who's the boss? Whose boss?"
How dare you..?
Ballari is mine.
We’ve come here realizing that in Ballari,
your permission carries more weight than the signatures of those in power.
If you grant us the lease for Singanakallu hill,
we will make sure to repay the favor in full.
Forget it...
Every time we make a deal, it's always about splitting the shares... what's yours and what's mine.
What I'm trying to say, brother...
there's only one hill left.
They're asking for a two-year lease,
and we have three years left in power.
Be generous this once and allow them to lease that hill.
The town of Ballari came into existence only after Sri Krishnadevaraya built a shrine for the Goddess here.
Oblivious to that history, people have already ravaged all the other hills in the name of mines and minerals.
The villagers revere that one remaining hill as the embodiment of the Goddess herself.
Do not lay a finger on it, Gouda.
Since when have you started believing in the Goddess and God?
Prabhakar... doesn't that sound bizarre?
Save your cunning for the sell-out curs, not for me.
To me, this isn’t just about a temple or a deity; it’s about the sacred faith of the people.
Now, get out of here!
Look at his arrogance!
We are being so civil, and yet he is so incredibly rude.
Do we really need him to get things done?
I know exactly who can pull the strings for us.
Let's go there. Come on!
Shetty!
Before you approach anyone,
just tell them one thing... that Venkatappa Naidu does not approve.
If anyone dares to agree after that... by God...
I will personally hand over that hill to you. Come on then, you scoundrels!
Hello!
Where is Vasubabu?
Hey, come on.
You know what I love about you?
Even when I’m beating you down until you bleed,
you lie there enjoying it like some tramp lounging in bed.
I burned the photo because that's what I saw.
If your grandfather had been there instead,
I'd have burned him without a second thought!
Vasu!
You little punk...
Do you think you’ve finally grown enough of a backbone to set fire to my photo?
Mr Naidu...
Even a beggar would be ashamed to come back for more like this.
You don’t even have the dignity of a common street-dweller.
How many more times do I have to spare your miserable life?
What "favor" are you talking about?
Are you the only one allowed to live in this town?
Do the rest of us have no right to exist?
Does Ballari always have to bow down to your dominance?
Listen up! Dominance isn't something handed to you like a gift.
You have to go to war and seize it.
Do you have the guts for that?
Do you have the courage to stand against me?
Not today, you scoundrels, and not ever... Ballari belongs to Venkatappa Naidu.
I am the King here!
I hacked your father to death, piece by piece, because he refused to obey me
without even sparing a thought for my own brother.
Try messing with me one more time, and I'll turn your house into a cremation ground, you.. scoundrel.
You’ll be left sitting there, burying the dead.
Let's go, Vasu!
Is that why you’re insisting on going alone?
We aren't living among ordinary men;
we're living in a world of blood feuds and vendettas
You shouldn't be going around alone. You need to take some men with you.
A true leader isn't someone who charges ahead only to be sacrificed.
He's the one who stays behind to guide everyone else
and inspires confidence in his people.
If something happens to you, who will lead them?
Your father was just as stubborn. He went off alone...
and came back a headless corpse.
Your mother grieved herself to death mourning him.
What if something happens to you?
What's wrong?
I’m just trying to keep my head here after the humiliation I've faced, dad.
As long as that man is here, we are powerless.
Let’s just leave.
You can't stop living your life just because you're angry at the world.
You’re great with the proverbs, but I have a doubt...
Everyone in our family is dark-skinned,
so how exactly did Vasu Babu turn out so fair?
His mother was fair-skinned.
Then why didn't you find yourself a fair-skinned woman too?
Every time I see that Vasu,
I feel a burning urge to throw acid right in his face.
If you feel that way, imagine my rage!
Do you know how Venkatappa Naidu killed my father for taking Vasu's father's life?
I saw it with my own eyes...
Venkatappa Naidu isn't just a man...
he is Death personified.
Then when is death finally coming for him?
If we just kill the old man, we won't be able to handle Vasu Babu.
To that old man, Vasu is his entire life and his greatest strength.
If we sever that boy's head and hang it from the Ballari fort...
the sight of it will make him wither away in agonizing grief until he dies.
The plan is good.
But if even the slightest thing goes wrong...
none of us will make it out of Ballari alive.
Aunty!
Manga!
Sister! - Sister!
Anu!
Hey, cutie!
Manga, how have you been?
I'm great, Uncle!
When did you come here?
I've been waiting for quite a while now.
Sorry, got a bit held up at the temple.
Come on, let's head inside and talk.
Didn't I scare you?
You've seen a lot worse than this. Why would this scare you?
What are you doing here?
I came to see Grandpa, Vasu Babu.
After taking his blessings, Samurai made me a cup of coffee.
I was having it when I heard you were here, so I came over to say hello.
Cut the drama.
Neither of them is home.
Oh! Really?
So, what exactly do you do in Tirupati?
I finished my degree.
Now I'm studying theatre arts.
Theater arts?
You know... acting in stage plays.
So, why did you come here?
Nothing much, Vasu Babu.
Tomorrow's my birthday.
So, what do you want?
Will you spend the day with me tomorrow, Vasu Babu?
Let's go somewhere together.
Where would we go?
HI, BALLARI!
Is that all?
Aren't you going to hand out clothes to the poor, feed orphans,
click a couple of selfies, and post them all over social media?
You underestimate me, Vasu Babu.
I've got a much bigger surprise.
What is it?
Just close your eyes. You'll find out.
What are you up to?
I told you to keep your eyes closed and stay still.
What is this?
Are you out of your mind?
Where did you get that gun?
It's my father's.
I swiped it to give you a gift.
Why?
I'm asking you only...
Because... I'm in love with you, Vasu Babu.
I love you.
I really love you so much.
Don't talk nonsense.
You're here for the festival holidays. Enjoy your vacation and go back.
Don't come to me with all this love nonsense.
I'm not into all that
Vasu Babu...
Mine isn't just some passing summer fling.
It's a silent love.
I've been in love with you for ten years.
What are you saying?
Remember when some men were beating you up...
A bat suddenly came flying through the air...
Did you think God sent it?
It was me. I threw it.
Every year, the only reason I come to Ballari is for you.
Imagining those 30 days of vacation in Ballari,
I used to spend the rest of the year.
Greetings, Naidu sir. How are you?
Really, Naidu Garu?
Even on a festival day, you can’t seem to escape these local disputes?
Once you've stood up for the village, you can't just sit idle, can you?
You always have a way of silencing people with your words.
Those who speak up for what's right need to be firm, just like you.
And just like you!
What’s going on? There’s no festive vibe here at all.
What are you all even doing? Come on, let's go!
Come on, let's get ready for the puja.
If every Ugadi is a New Year for everyone else, for me, it's a new memory written with you.
In these 10 years, there hasn't been a single day that I haven't thought about you, Vasu Babu.
Hey! Vasu Babu! Come on in.
Grandpa asked me to deliver these documents.
Hey! Hold on! Where are you going so fast?
It’s rare that you visit... come, have some tea before you leave.
Come in, Vasu Babu!
I remember every moment I waited for you,
and every effort I made just to cross paths with you.
Look, look, look...
He saw me!
My affection for you grew so much that I almost forgot myself.
I'm in love with a guy in college, Manga.
Really?
All my friends and I planned a trip together with him.
If I tell my elder brother, he'll definitely say no.
I don't know what to do.
I would look for any small opportunity just to spend time with you.
I've got an idea.
Take care.
Don't forget to turn off your phone.
Okay.
Bye.
Anitha’s been kidnapped, Uncle!
Anitha’s been kidnapped! Uncle!
Anitha’s been kidnapped!
What did they look like?
Well... they weren't fair-skinned, but they weren't dark either...
they were sort of dusky.
Vasu Babu sent those guys who got caught with the diaries to jail recently... maybe one of them did this out of spite.
Our lawyer fleeces those who get caught for every penny they have, doesn't he?
Perhaps one of them held a grudge and orchestrated this whole thing?
That reminds me,
a couple of clients got into a heated argument with me over fees the other day.
I have a strong feeling one of them is behind this kidnapping.
You should've mentioned that sooner!
Who are they?
Jaffer and Pavurala Shiva.
I know exactly who they are.
Why do you keep glancing at me?
No reason, none at all.
By the way, is your name just 'Manga'?
Or is there something before or after it?
It’s Veera Venkata Naga Bhagyalakshmi Sindhoora Alivelu Manga.
Look, Jaffer... if you have a beef with the lawyer, settle it like a man.
But kidnapping his sister is just plain wrong, isn't it?
Me, kidnapping her? Did you actually see it happen?
What, have you been listening in from outside our house?
You’re just spouting pure filth!
Mind your tongue.
I just want a straight answer. Did you do it or not?
Cut the nonsense.
Tell me, Where is she?
Brother... knowing he's your man, do you think anyone in all of Ballari would dare lay a hand on him?
I swear on my mother, brother... I didn't kidnap her.
Mind your manners.
Let's uncle.
Hey stop.
Do you know the way to our house?
Of course, I do.
Good. Then off you go.
Hey! Vasu Babu! Vasu Babu!
What a total psycho sadist!
Anitha!
Where did you go?
Who was kidnapped?
- Why are you so quiet? - Anitha...!
Thank you, Vasu Babu.
Come on, let's go.
Hm... let's get started.
Where did you eventually find Anitha, Vasu Babu?
She was passed out at a Hampi resort, completely hammered with her friends.
Drunk?!
You little brat!
Every time I came here, I wanted to tell you.
More than the fear of your rejection,
I find solace in suffering silently within myself.
I'd leave with my heart full of memories,
then spend the whole year waiting to see you again.
If I can't tell you today,
I never will, Vasu Babu.
This madness I have for you didn't begin today, Vasu Babu.
When a girl loves someone...
can she truly love this much?
"'This heart knows no darkness."
"Without your companionship, I can't even breathe."
"The dreams are exciting,"
"Our hearts are coming together."
"Turn me into the air that you breathe"
"I will walk till the end of time, Come with me."
"My heart will remain unhurt even if an atom bomb strikes me,"
"I was a man like a gun’s bullet, You turned me into a man as sweet as honey."
"I am dying and coming alive, Putting my soul behind every step,"
"My life and death are only with you."
"Our hearts are coming together."
"The pleasantness in a stone,"
"The colors of the night,"
"All get their liveliness from your love."
"You transformed a stone. You lightened this darkness,"
"You filled your love in me."
"The dreams are exciting,"
"Tears fill my eyes."
"Sleep doesn’t come,"
"When I am not beside you."
"I will burn the water,"
"I will kill the sleep,"
"The moment I leave you, Will be the moment my breath will stop."
"The dreams are exciting,"
"Our hearts are coming together."
Hey!
Hey, who's that girl hanging around with Vasu Babu?
I don't know, brother.
Find out.
Okay Brother. - Let's go.
Hello? - Am I speaking to Peddi Reddy?
Yes. Who is this?
Leave about me.
But your daughter is in Ballari right now, isn’t she?
Yes.
How can you just leave your daughter on her own like that?
Shouldn't you know who she's hanging around with and what she's up to?
Hey! Who the hell are you?
I'm telling you to keep an eye on your daughter, and you're asking who I am?
Get hold of your daughter before she slips out of your hands.
Got it?
Hello?
Hello!
Hello? Yes, brother?
Put Manga on the phone.
I think Manga has gone out.
Gone where?
What’s wrong, brother?
I trusted you because you're her aunt and sent her to stay with you.
Have you become so blind that you don't even know what she's doing or who she's with?
Brother!
Am I so helpless that I have to hear from some anonymous caller that my daughter is going around with a man in Ballari?
I’ll talk to her, brother.
No more talking!
Send that girl back to Tirupati immediately. Right this second!
You know what'll happen if I have to come there, don't you?
Why is Aunt calling me now?
Just a moment, Vasu Babu.
Manga!
Aunt?
Where are you?
I'm at the temple, Aunt.
Cut the drama!
If your father found out about this all the way from Tirupati, I can only imagine how far you've gone.
What happened?
What do you mean Dad found out?
Shut your mouth!
He wants you to leave for Tirupati immediately.
Otherwise, he'll come to Ballari himself.
Wherever you are, come home first.
What happened?
Why are you so worried?
My father found out about us.
I always knew the fuse would blow at the lawyer's house someday.
But I never expected the whole transformer to blow in Tirupati!
What happened, Manga?
I'm scared, Vasu Babu.
You don't know my father.
And I don't need to.
I can't live without you, Vasu Babu.
I’m scared that if I leave now, we might never see each other again.
Why are you afraid?
I don't know... I have a bad feeling, Vasu Babu.
Vasu Babu! Where are you going?
Vasu Babu!
What are you doing?
What is this, Vasu Babu?
Are we married now?
Yes.
Yes... from this very moment, you are Vasu’s wife.
Not just today... No one will ever separate us.
I’m leaving for Tirupati today.
I’ll try to talk to my father and convince him to accept us.
If anything happens, you won't leave me, will you, Vasu Babu?
Give me your word.
If it comes down to it, I will stand against all of Tirupati for you,
but I will never, ever let you go, Manga.
I swear.
Come on! Show me what you're made of!
Vasu...
Hey! All of you... GET THE HELL OUT!
Vasu Babu...
Ma'am, you can't stay here. Please wait over there.
Lakshmipathi’s men are right here in Ballari, brother.
[Kannada] I want him.
There’s no threat to her life; she's out of danger.
She suffered a catastrophic head injury, resulting in a traumatic brain injury.
As you can see here, the nerves in the brain are severely ruptured.
This has caused damage to the temporal lobes, resulting in retrograde amnesia.
To put it simply, due to the severe impact on her head,
about 30% of the nerves leading to the brain have been crushed.
There were numerous blood clots, most of which we’ve cleared.
However, we couldn't insert a stent.
Attempting to touch these nerves would be life-threatening.
Will she ever remember anything, even after some time has passed, Doctor?
Nothing that has happened in her life up until now will ever come back to her.
Brother!
They... they got married, brother.
But that boy's family is very decent...
How do you even have the nerve to defend the man who brought my daughter to death's door?
I don't care who he is or what kind of family he comes from.
For better or worse... my daughter has forgotten her entire past.
I believe that's Lord Venkateswara's blessing.
I’m taking Manga back to Tirupati with me.
I’ll raise her all over again, just like a little child.
If you have any shred of respect for me,
Swear you'll never tell Manga or anyone in my family about her love.
Swear it!
I won't tell anyone, brother. Never.
Please understand what I'm saying, Vasu Babu.
Manga doesn't remember anything.
She doesn't recognize anyone...
not even you.
My brother has taken Manga to Tirupati.
Let Manga go.
The two of you are not meant to be.
If something happens between you two and things go wrong,
I don't have the strength to bear it.
At least you still have memories of her...
she doesn't even have those.
It’s best to leave all of this behind.
"Come back, come back here, my dear come back,"
"My soul has left me and is moving towards you."
"Come back, come back here, my dear come back,"
"I am confined in the prison of loneliness."
"Even if the time is against me,"
"no matter which injury is hurting me,"
"I am waiting for you,"
"even though you will never come back."
"If you are not here, my existence doesn’t matter,"
"I am carrying the burden of sadness inside me."
'I see you as the form of love,"
"but you did not show mercy on me, as you forgot me like a curse."
"Comeback my dear, comeback my dear,"
"Come back, my dear. Come back to me, my dear."
Vasu Babu, go ahead and do it.
Vasu Babu, go ahead. Kill him.
This is my sister,
Varalakshmi.
She is your aunt.
She has come here from Ballary.
"You promised to never leave me, but now I can’t see you anywhere,"
"I am in darkness, come back like the moon."
"I can’t see you, I can’t hear your words,"
'I live like a dead man, come back and make me alive."
"You are now my tears,"
'Don’t leave my eyes."
"Come back, come back here, my dear come back,"
"My soul has left me and is moving towards you."
"Come back, come back here, my dear come back,"
"I am a prisoner in the prison of loneliness."
"Even if the time is against me, no matter which injury is hurting me,"
'I am waiting for you, even though you will never come back."
'If you are not here, then I don’t exist,"
"I am carrying the burden of sadness inside me."
''I see you as the form of love,""
"but you did not show mercy on me, as you forgot me like a curse."
"Comeback my dear, comeback my dear,"
"Come back, my dear. Come back to me, my dear."
What's this?
Are you crying?
Go ahead and cry!
My own son and daughter-in-law are turning to ashes on a funeral pyre right before my eyes,
yet I have a heart of stone that doesn't shed a single tear.
You are putting me through a hell that even your late father never did.
Sir... please, Sir...
My presence is only for those who live by instilling fear,
not for someone who sits around weeping.
Get out!
Go to Bangalore and manage the factory.
Yes, sir...
Put him on the train to Bangalore immediately.
Uncle, you shouldn't have taken me to the railway station,
but to the bus stand.
What is it, Vasu Babu?
I am not going to Bangalore.
I'm going to Tirupati.
Let Manga go.
The two of you are not meant to be.
Manga will always be mine!
I came to Tirupati only for Manga!
Who are you?
My friend?
My teacher?
Or are you a member of my family?
Have you ever been in love before? – I don't know.
Manga is mine
I will be the one to marry her eventually.
I love you.
Manga, my love is not a decision made in a moment of impulse.
But you brought me here with a hidden motive in your mind.
Seeing you like this terrifies me, Seenu.
Don't ever show your face to me again.
Never...
Swatantra Babu!
I don't know anything... Balu did it all.
He kept Sreenu in his house even though I told him not to.
Was all of this just a dream?
No
it's your true nature.
I brought a useless fellows like you into my house... I should beat myself with a slipper for doing that.
Who could be bigger loafers than the two of us in Tirupati?
Trust me... Balu. - You...
Who are they?
Peddireddy's men.
Did they arrive already?
This is my last day in Tirupati.
You...
Who is Balu here?
Hey Balu, go, they are calling you.
Me? Balu? What do you mean? You're Balu, aren't you?
He's the one.
I thought you said Babu.
Tell me, what do you want?
Is a guy named Seenu staying with you?
Seenu?
Who is Seenu?
I am Seenu. Tell me.
Hey Seenu!
When did you arrive? You didn't even let me know!
How have you been?
Save your pleasantries for later.
Peddireddy has ordered for all of you to be brought to him.
Hello sir.
So, you’re Seenu?
Yes.
You didn’t just save my brother’s life;
you saved my strength and my honor in front of my enemies.
Who are they?
This is my uncle, Balu.
I’m currently staying with him.
What do you do for a living?
I organize small wedding events, sir.
But I've given that up now.
Since I couldn't find any work in Tirupati,
I had decided to pack up and leave town today.
If you can find him some work, he'll do it.
Don't you have any work in Tirupati?
Hey, Subba Reddy!
Yes, Brother
Who did we give our daughter’s wedding contract to?
Palamaner Bujji is handling it.
Cancel it. - Okay brother.
Give the entire contract to these guys.
Okay Brother
We're done for.
Come over tomorrow and take charge of the wedding preparations.
Once the wedding is done, I’ll set you up with a solid business contract.
Thank you sir.
Namaste sir.
You got this contract because of me. Now you owe me a party.
Seenu...
If my brother finds out that you're the one messing with Manga...
he will kill you right here.
I kept my mouth shut and saved you for the sole reason that you saved my life.
From now on, drop the act and just do your job carefully.
I got you this job... - A job? You got me into trouble!
Even if I did, can't you at least buy me a quarter? You're making such a fuss.
When my grandson was hovering between life and death,
they took that girl away from Ballary and left him behind.
did I ever say a single word to you?
If you had a son,
and he was wandering around like a madman in some strange town for a girl...
could you just stand by and watch?
I tried telling him to leave Tirupati, too.
Grandpa...
How dare you lie to me?!
You told me you were going to Bangalore, but you came to Tirupati instead.
Did you think I wouldn't find out?
How did I raise you?
I taught you to stand by those who trust you, to fight back if provoked, to hack, to kill...
That’s what I taught you!
Where did this "love" suddenly come from?
Manga taught me.
She once told me she couldn't live without me
Now... she’s lost her memory, and it's all because of me.
Now, I’m the one who can't live without her.
Then just go tell the girl the truth! Tell her that you two loved each other, and bring her home.
I'd like to see who dares to stop you.
The problem isn't about someone stopping me, Grandpa.
The problem is... my Manga isn't willing to come with me.
It wouldn't take much to just go to her, tell her that we loved each other, spent time together,
and got married, and drag her back.
But if I do that... it would be like forcefully carrying away a clueless child.
I won't do that.
I came here for one reason...
To give Manga the exact same love she once gave me,
and to win her heart all over again.
How much longer are you going to wait like this?
Manga is getting married in four days, Grandpa.
Just give me these four days.
If my faith is true, I will come home with Manga.
But if your doubts are true... I will pack up and return to Ballary with you.
Four days
I don't care how you make that girl fall for you, or how you bring her back.
But listen to me carefully... if anyone so much as lays a hand on you
the people of Tirupati won't be talking about your love story.
They'll be talking about the bloodbath unleashed by Venkatrappa Naidu.
Why don't you walk on the Tirumala pathway instead? At least it'll lead you to God.
I told you, didn't I?
Venkatappa Naidu has come down to Tirupati.
He must have figured out by now that we're the ones behind the attack on Vasu Babu.
No, boss.
Something else is going down here, right under our noses.
Yeah, you guys just keep sitting around overthinking this!
The second his daughter’s wedding is over,
Peddireddy is going to assume I ordered the hit on his brother and come straight for my throat!
Before the wedding wraps up...
we’ll eliminate Vasu Babu.
Just hold your nerve until then.
After that, I’ll take out Peddireddy and hand the entire city of Tirupati over to you.
You gave your word, brother.
That's all I need.
When are you coming? There are only three days left.
Leave as soon as you can.
Manga...
Your mother is calling you.
I told you never to show your face to me again, didn't I?
What are you doing here?
I came with the hope that at any given moment, you might finally understand me, Manga.
Don't you understand when I say it once?
Forget about me.
You will find a much better girl than me.
Are you cursing me, Manga?
How else can I make you understand, Seenu?
I'm asking you the exact same thing, Manga.
What do I have to do to make you understand my love?
I can't hide what I feel.
I don't know how to show my love in small, measured pieces.
I have taken every ounce of love I have for you and laid it all right at your feet.
I don't know how to love you any more than this... I don't know how else to prove my love to you.
As deeply and greatly as you love me...
that same love just isn't blooming in my heart for you, Seenu.
Damn this heart...
It doesn't seem to understand that a heart is just a muscle that beats lub-dub, lub-dub.
Love isn't born here, Manga.. It’s born here!
Because my love for you is rooted here
my heartbeat races here when I look at you.
Because I am crazy about you here
my heart aches when you aren't around.
Because you are my very life here,
it feels like my soul is being ripped out when you distance yourself.
That is exactly why, even if a person's heart stops beating,
their mind stays alive for a few more seconds— because it simply cannot let go of the memories.
Just give me this much space in your mind, Manga.
Just a tiny space... that's enough.
Manga...
My wedding is in four days...
and if I am standing here crying like this...
you are the reason, Seenu.
Every single time you cross my path...
I-I get so overwhelmed with anxiety.
But...
I don't hate you enough to want to hurt you,
nor do I like you enough to love you, Seenu.
If my family sees you here like this, they will kill you.
Please, just leave. Go away from here!
I am not going anywhere!
Until the very last second before the wedding knot is tied around your neck...
I will stay right here. With the unshakeable faith that your love for me will wake up again...
I will keep waiting.
"Don't go, don't go"
"Don't increase the distance anymore"
"You have no pity"
"At least throw a look of love my way"
"I will stop this spinning earth I will tie up time itself"
"Love inside you I will create it"
'Do you know how crazy I am about you? I will bring the proof and show you"
"My entire life is filled With your signatures"
"You made words speak in the silence"
"Those sweet nothings, to you"
'When asked to listen, you throw them away saying you won't"
"What should I do to make you love me?"
"What should I give for you to walk alongside me?"
"Searching every atom, inside you"
"I am there in some corner"
"More than me, in this world"
"There is no lover, girl"
"What do you know of my pain?"
"Will you understand it even if I tell you?"
"Can you tell just by looking with your eyes"
"How many of your thorns are pierced in me?"
"Is there a language to express my agony."
"No matter how many scripts exist on earth?"
"If you pay back my debt of love"
"I will go away without ever being seen again"
"If you try to calculate my interest"
"Even the numbers will start sweating"
"From deep within the paths of war Bringing my heart"
"You showed yourself to me like a mirror"
"What should I do to make you love me?"
"What should I give"
"For you to walk alongside me?"
"Searching every atom, inside you"
"I am there in some corner"
"No one in this world Loves you more than I do, girl... O..."
"If it erases simply because you wipe it away"
"How can it be called love?"
"The body will eventually turn to dust"
"No matter what you do to stop it"
"How will the memory die?"
"Even if it is killed and buried"
"The soul leaves the body"
"But the body cannot depart leaving the soul behind"
"Alivelu Manga will never leave this Srinivasa And go away"
"There is a certain belief in me"
"That at some moment you will become mine"
Why don't you tell her the truth?
"What should I do to make you love me?"
"What war should I wage for you to walk alongside me?"
"Searching every atom, inside you"
"I am there in some corner"
"No one in this world Loves you more than I do, girl... O..."
Vasu Babu!
Time is running out, Swatantra Babu.
Manga is not giving me even a little space in her mind.
How can I come first in her life?
Alright, everyone, let's move!
Subbareddy...
Brother!
Tell them to start the vehicles.
Hey, where is Manga?
Vara!
Just ten minutes, she is getting ready!
We are running out of time,
I'll bring her. You all go ahead.
We'll be at the temple. Come quickly.
Yeah, I'll bring her.
Get in.
Babu...
Manga is calling you.
It's nothing, Sreenu...
I just wanted to ask if you could put this luggage in the car.
Hello,
Tell me.
Hey!
What are you talking about?!
Hey, turn the car around! Turn it back!
Turn it around
Turn it around, quickly!
Brother... please, brother... just listen to me once.
Hey!
What is there for me to listen to?
I pampered her like a princess and put her on a pedestal because she was my daughter.
In Ballary, she fell in love with someone and went to the brink of death for him.
And now?
She has run away with a common house servant!
Tell me
Brother, Vasu Babu is going via the Kanipakam route.
Your daughter didn't love two different men, as you think!
This Sreenu is the very same Vasu Babu she loved back in Ballary!
What are you saying?
Did you know about this all along?
Yes.
You mean... you hid all of this from me?
Yes!
If he wanted to, he could have reminded her of everything and taken Manga away on the very first day.
But he chose not to.
He said that forcing past memories might bring a person physically close, but it will never win back their heart.
He yearned so deeply for your daughter's true love.
He made Manga fall in love with him all over again.
I love you, Sreenu...
I love you...
You separated them once...
We're standing before the Lord Himself.
it is Lord Venkateswara himself who has reunited them now.
You once told me that if love truly exists in here...
your heart beats faster whenever that person is near.
The very first time I saw you...
that is exactly what happened to me, Sreenu.
Back then, my heart didn't understand why.
You also said that if there is a deep madness in here...
you will feel completely restless and lost when that person is away.
When I can't see you, I feel the same way.
You told me that when someone is your very life, then being separated from them feels like death itself.
I have experienced that exact pain, Sreenu.
See?
I was so nervous,
now that I've confessed my love to you, I'm not even stuttering anymore.
It is clear that this Sreenu is the only one meant to stand by Manga.
It was only after meeting you that I realized a man could love this deeply.
You have taken the first place in my heart, Sreenu.
I love you, Sreenu.
I love you.
My Tirupati vow has been fulfilled, Manga.
God has blessed me with the love I longed for.
No one in this lifetime can ever separate us again.
Hey!
What about my name and reputation in this town?!
All you ever care about is your reputation and status!
Do you have any idea about the kind of legacy and power they hold?
Who do you think Sreenu actually is?
He is the grandson of Venkatappayya Naidu!
If you want to know who Venkatappa Naidu is
go and ask anyone in Ballary district... they will tell you!
If they decided to take Manga away,
all your power and army of men wouldn't be enough to stand in their way!
And yet...
Sreenu chose to live as a servant in your own house...
all for your daughter's love.
My name is Venkatappayya Naidu.
The Vasu Babu who loved your daughter...
is my grandson.
He lost both his parents when he was just a child.
Since then, I have been his everything...
and he is the only one I have in this world.
This isn't the world he was raised in...
If someone raised a knife, I taught him to answer with blood
If someone crossed the line, I taught him to make them tremble.
That's what I taught him.
When he was little, he'd ask, 'Grandpa, where's my mother?
But we cannot bring back those who have passed, can we?
Now, after all these years...
He has asked me for Manga.
We once made the mistake of separating them.
That mistake must never happen again, Peddireddy.
I have not come here to wage a war against you, Peddireddy.
If I had come for that...
Things would have turned out very differently.
I have come to ask for your daughter's hand.
Don't think twice just because there are no women in our family.
Send your daughter to my home.
I will cherish her like a goddess.
Hey!
Take these two to Ballari...
and bury them up to their necks near our factory.
I'll be there later.
Hey, Sreenu!
Before I get you two married,
you must promise me one thing.
What is it?
My daughter must never know there was someone named Vasu Babu in her life.
Because...
I don't want her to ever know that I was the villain in her love story.
Let her remember me only as a good father.
Okay.
Keep it with you.
Sreenu!
