01:20.708 --> 01:23.417
On the dry plains lies the village of Avarutti. L

01:24.141 --> 01:28.542
Like every village, it has a temple, crowded with devotees.

01:29.359 --> 01:36.641
Those burdened by problems offer money; those with no money offer their hair.

01:37.258 --> 01:38.891
So faith turns into business.

01:39.417 --> 01:42.667
And business, often, gives birth to monsters.

01:43.042 --> 01:45.344
The business of hair yields rich returns.

01:46.781 --> 01:50.016
This is a story of that richness—of gold.

02:52.758 --> 02:56.422
Hey Lokesh, are you
done stitching my shirt?

02:56.648 --> 02:58.492
I'm doing the buttons, hold on.

02:58.875 --> 03:01.258
You've been doing that forever!

03:01.609 --> 03:03.039
Why don't you hurry up?

03:03.125 --> 03:07.180
Yeah sure! It's festival season
for everyone. Not just you.

03:07.476 --> 03:12.812
So you'll continue wearing shabby clothes
while your son gets all the new ones?

03:12.898 --> 03:13.958
Give it.
-Here, take it.

03:14.172 --> 03:18.678
Not everyone in the village is lucky to
become an officer like my son!

03:18.703 --> 03:20.945
Yes, only your son is fortunate.
-Don't offer me advice!

03:22.626 --> 03:23.459
Ramanna!

03:23.580 --> 03:26.193
Ramanna!
-Ganganna, please come!

03:26.671 --> 03:28.046
1/2 kg jaggery

03:28.182 --> 03:29.286
1/2 kg lentils

03:30.583 --> 03:33.388
And then 10 paise worth
cardamom, cloves and khus.

03:33.585 --> 03:35.091
You're having grand
festival this year, huh?

03:35.849 --> 03:37.115
The festival is no big deal to me.

03:37.755 --> 03:41.833
But my son, who was studying
in the city, is coming home.

03:41.859 --> 03:43.526
So I wanted to make"
payasa ("sweet dish) for him.

03:43.557 --> 03:45.575
You're a lucky man!

03:45.784 --> 03:48.482
It's all because of
blessings from people like you!

03:48.625 --> 03:50.661
Everyone isn't blessed to
have a son like yours!

03:50.724 --> 03:52.125
Put it in my account.

03:52.286 --> 03:52.935
I'll pay you later.

03:53.692 --> 03:54.724
Okay.
-See you.

03:55.154 --> 03:56.002
Wow!

04:04.385 --> 04:06.654
It smells amazing in here!

04:06.679 --> 04:08.974
Ganganna, your son is lucky indeed!

04:09.107 --> 04:10.974
What's cooking? Damn! It's hot!

04:11.296 --> 04:12.505
What the hell are you upto!

04:12.530 --> 04:13.691
I was checking if it's done.

04:13.716 --> 04:16.208
Wait till Ashoka comes!
You'll burn your hand or else!

04:22.989 --> 04:24.410
Let's go, it's late.

04:24.443 --> 04:26.833
C'mon let's be quick.

04:27.044 --> 04:28.779
The bus may have arrived by now.

04:30.583 --> 04:33.277
Hey Shantakka, Mallamma, Saroja!

04:33.302 --> 04:34.941
Do you know who is coming now!

04:34.966 --> 04:36.919
Who?
-You'll know once they come!

04:36.955 --> 04:38.380
"Akka (sister)" do you want to come along?

04:38.405 --> 04:39.417
Get lost fool!

04:44.003 --> 04:45.995
[-Ganganna the van is here!]

04:47.245 --> 04:49.767
Get down everyone.
-Ashoka!

04:49.792 --> 04:50.875
Gopala!
-Ashoka!

04:50.875 --> 04:52.708
I'm here dad!

04:52.708 --> 04:53.917
Ashoka, give me your bags.

04:53.917 --> 04:55.542
Give it here.
-Okay.

04:55.542 --> 04:58.542
Give it to me.
-It's okay dad.

04:58.542 --> 05:00.167
It's okay dude.

05:00.167 --> 05:01.667
Get down, please.
-All well?

05:01.667 --> 05:03.458
Of course, he's doing well!

05:03.458 --> 05:05.208
Come, let's go.
-Come on.

05:05.208 --> 05:06.958
The entire village is waiting for you.

05:06.958 --> 05:08.208
They're all celebrating!

05:08.208 --> 05:10.375
Ashoka, you've become
fair after moving to the city!

05:10.375 --> 05:11.667
That's my boy!

05:12.417 --> 05:16.708
Look! Even the birds are gloriously
flying about because my son has come!

05:16.733 --> 05:17.651
They are thrilled!

05:17.676 --> 05:21.995
I'm sure you're thrilled, but I'm getting
roasted in this harsh sun!

05:22.043 --> 05:23.081
Let's get home quick.

05:24.042 --> 05:26.225
Ashoka, step in with your right foot.

05:26.250 --> 05:28.417
Are you getting your daughter-in-law
home to enter with the right foot?

05:29.628 --> 05:31.135
"Appa" (father), it smells yum in here!

05:31.253 --> 05:32.987
-Hey Ashoka!

05:33.268 --> 05:34.790
Come here!

05:34.815 --> 05:36.875
I'm hungry!
-First, go shower.

05:36.875 --> 05:38.753
then perform "puja",
after which you can eat.

05:38.924 --> 05:41.901
Go on.
-You won't quit nagging even on a festival.

05:42.239 --> 05:43.385
I'm tired.

05:43.667 --> 05:46.643
It's a tradition to have a proper
bath on festival days.

05:51.862 --> 05:53.750
Why are you fidgeting like a child!

05:53.750 --> 05:55.256
You can't scrub with that stone.
Take this brick, Ganganna.

05:55.281 --> 05:56.112
I'll smash you!

Open your eyes and see dude!

06:06.292 --> 06:07.458
Hey Chandranna!

06:07.458 --> 06:08.698
Yes, your Chandranna is here!

06:09.338 --> 06:09.831
Sit!

06:10.698 --> 06:12.417
Srub him well Ganganna!

06:12.620 --> 06:16.042
Scrub him until he shines like
a diamond. What say, Gopala?

06:16.042 --> 06:18.458
The entire village must be stunned!
-I agree.

06:18.458 --> 06:19.833
We shall cleanse
the evil eye after that.

06:20.042 --> 06:21.665
Yes, I need to cleanse
my own evil eye!

06:21.690 --> 06:22.838
Yes my friend!

06:25.083 --> 06:27.542
You haven't changed one bit!

06:27.750 --> 06:28.792
Isn't it?

06:29.083 --> 06:30.338
Chandranna!

06:30.658 --> 06:31.273
I'm coming!

06:31.917 --> 06:33.042
I have something to tell you

06:34.542 --> 06:36.049
Take your time and finish bath.

06:36.088 --> 06:37.792
Let me dry my hair and
show you something!

06:37.817 --> 06:38.565
Sure!

06:40.500 --> 06:41.956
Have you made "payasa", Ganganna?

06:43.323 --> 06:44.750
Chandranna!
-Ashoka...

06:44.953 --> 06:45.917
Come here, please.

06:45.966 --> 06:47.049
Why?
-Just come.

06:47.395 --> 06:47.770
Come!

06:48.010 --> 06:49.159
Close your eyes.

06:49.604 --> 06:51.875
Don't open your
eyes. Stay here.

06:51.875 --> 06:52.767
[-Okay!]

06:52.792 --> 06:54.750
Don't open your eyes.
-I won't dude. Come.

06:55.208 --> 06:56.333
I’ll be back in a moment

06:56.333 --> 06:57.721
Where are you?
-One moment!

06:57.760 --> 06:58.612
Come soon.

07:11.674 --> 07:12.549
I'm done with studies.

07:13.237 --> 07:14.653
Next is an exam for the revenue inspector's post.

07:15.012 --> 07:15.679
If I clear that...

07:16.909 --> 07:17.659
Really?

07:18.588 --> 07:19.628
Do well, Ashoka.

07:19.864 --> 07:20.739
You must grow.

07:20.995 --> 07:22.495
And help others grow too.

07:23.463 --> 07:28.581
If people like us have to survive,
we must develop resilience and strength.

07:28.924 --> 07:31.792
That's when true change happens.

07:31.817 --> 07:32.706
[-Yes Chandranna.]

07:33.500 --> 07:34.292
There he goes again!

07:35.375 --> 07:36.812
What change are you talking about?

07:37.346 --> 07:38.766
First, your brains
need an urgent change!

07:39.469 --> 07:42.101
Keep your protests to the streets!

07:42.453 --> 07:43.703
Give that here, Ganganna!

07:43.872 --> 07:44.497
Hold this.

07:45.422 --> 07:49.437
You must do well!

07:53.708 --> 07:56.100
It's crackling and how!

Ganganna, let's feast
on the "payasa" now.

He’s gone for work.

15:32.379 --> 15:33.435
Cinnamon.

15:34.747 --> 15:38.318
Cinnamon!

15:38.427 --> 15:38.943
Perfect!

15:39.193 --> 15:41.345
Very good Mr Gangaraju!

15:41.370 --> 15:41.995
Very good!

16:11.949 --> 16:12.991
ನಿಲ್ಸಿ
Stop it boys!

16:21.046 --> 16:22.216
Shekhara!

16:23.232 --> 16:24.106
Picchandi

16:30.646 --> 16:35.208
I trusted you all and loaded the lorry with
the hair that was supposed to go to Bhutan.

17:28.247 --> 17:28.818
Hey Vetri

17:28.843 --> 17:29.591
Yes "anna"

17:42.783 --> 17:44.074
Coming Boss.

18:11.945 --> 18:13.010
Music.

18:47.236 --> 18:48.651
Make way!

18:48.862 --> 18:49.320
Make way.

18:49.554 --> 18:50.054
Come this way madam.

18:54.476 --> 18:56.116
Hey, move it!

18:56.141 --> 18:59.086
Make way!
-Stop the cycle, son!

19:00.016 --> 19:01.280
Get down!
-Why!!!

19:01.305 --> 19:02.417
Get down!
-What's the matter "appa?"

19:02.417 --> 19:03.333
We don't need that detail.
-"Appa..."

19:03.750 --> 19:04.667
Keep quiet.

19:04.667 --> 19:05.667
What's the matter with you?

19:06.083 --> 19:07.708
My slippers...
-What's wrong with you!

19:07.708 --> 19:08.458
Keep quiet, will you?

19:08.458 --> 19:09.500
Why should I?

19:09.500 --> 19:10.334
Sssh!
-But why!

19:10.359 --> 19:13.328
Out of our way, everyone!

19:13.689 --> 19:14.439
Make way!

19:24.101 --> 19:24.594
"Appa"

19:35.401 --> 19:36.437
Keep quiet.
-Why?

19:40.292 --> 19:41.703
Go home straight.

19:44.786 --> 19:45.286
"Appa!"

19:48.073 --> 19:48.573
"Appa!"

19:50.917 --> 19:52.351
Stop right there!

19:52.941 --> 19:53.733
Stop!

19:58.635 --> 19:59.461
But why "appa?"

19:59.698 --> 20:00.573
Take your feet off right now.

20:00.831 --> 20:01.497
Off, now!

20:02.805 --> 20:04.042
Take your feet off now!

20:04.042 --> 20:04.583
But why?

20:04.987 --> 20:06.237
Don't question me.

20:06.655 --> 20:07.238
Be off now.

20:08.062 --> 20:12.773
Never again step into the "
mudi katte "(hair tonsuring spot) again!

20:12.798 --> 20:13.219
Why?

20:13.624 --> 20:16.078
Stop talking and just leave!

20:23.904 --> 20:28.325
Bothvaramma, please bless my
son with a government job.

Gangu!

20:53.260 --> 20:54.593
Hey Yaley Swamy!

20:54.961 --> 20:55.667
Hope you're well.

20:55.833 --> 20:58.667
I'm good. Let's go sit somewhere.

20:59.250 --> 21:00.585
Been long since we last met.

21:01.195 --> 21:02.875
Why didn't you come home?

21:03.226 --> 21:05.076
I came for the village fair.

21:05.101 --> 21:06.469
But I couldn't visit your home.

21:07.180 --> 21:10.250
My daughter had come home (CHECK)

21:11.601 --> 21:13.375
I heard Ashoka is becoming an officer.

21:14.656 --> 21:15.726
I was happy to hear the good news!

21:16.476 --> 21:18.055
My daughter has also completed her SSLC.

21:18.250 --> 21:22.667
I've waited four years to
get her married to an officer.

21:22.859 --> 21:25.289
Yet, I haven't been able
to find a suitable boy.

21:25.680 --> 21:29.062
I can even arrange for
money for your son's job.

21:29.145 --> 21:29.812
Ganganna

21:31.750 --> 21:33.867
Give me a moment.
I'll join you.

21:34.523 --> 21:37.406
Okay, let me have a word with Ashoka.

21:37.672 --> 21:38.542
Send him home some time.

21:38.664 --> 21:42.053
If he pays four annas, he'll reach
our village in half an hour.

21:42.078 --> 21:43.828
Okay, I shall send Ashoka.

21:44.351 --> 21:47.422
I heard this week is
auspicious. Send him soon.

21:47.747 --> 21:48.331
Okay.

21:48.805 --> 21:51.094
Sure Swami.
-See you.

21:51.195 --> 21:52.719
Coming!

21:59.887 --> 22:01.721
Hey, eat slowly dude.

22:02.158 --> 22:03.491
You'll just swallow those ragi balls whole!

22:06.575 --> 22:08.380
What's up "appa?"
Done with work?

22:08.864 --> 22:11.490
Yaley Swamy from Kuruvatti
had come to meet me.

22:11.786 --> 22:14.919
He was asking if you would marry his daughter.

22:17.560 --> 22:20.255
He will take care of the expenses
related to your government job.

22:20.520 --> 22:22.544
Appa! I don't even have a job.

22:22.833 --> 22:26.000
If I get married, where's the
income to support a family?

22:26.786 --> 22:27.917
Let me first find a job, "appa."

22:28.583 --> 22:33.125
Yaley Swamy suggested we hold the wedding
around the time your appointment letter arrives.

22:33.958 --> 22:36.542
That little girl who was roaming
around with marigold flowers?

22:36.750 --> 22:41.125
That little girl is now a beautiful woman!

22:41.601 --> 22:43.059
Go meet her once.

22:47.812 --> 22:51.266
[-What's up Chandri! I heard
you're in love with Rajendra!]

22:51.594 --> 22:53.086
Everyone's talking about it!

22:53.234 --> 22:56.945
That chap perpetually has a cold. If I
marry him, I'll have to keep wiping his nose!

22:57.262 --> 22:58.266
Get lost!

22:59.050 --> 23:00.574
Oh dear Chandri!

23:03.583 --> 23:05.292
Did he get the floral thread, Mangala?

23:05.542 --> 23:08.500
Yeah right! Don't you
know how unpredictable he is!

23:08.625 --> 23:11.750
He just disappears for weeks.
Let's make do with what we have.

23:11.750 --> 23:14.000
The flowers have dried up.
Let me get some water.

23:14.000 --> 23:16.500
It's not just the flowers that
have dried up. We have too.

23:25.884 --> 23:28.134
Move those flowers a bit.

23:43.140 --> 23:43.932
Ambika!

23:45.456 --> 23:46.017
Ambika!

23:46.042 --> 23:47.151
I'm coming.

23:48.128 --> 23:49.750
Why is he in such a hurry?

23:49.750 --> 23:52.792
No idea.
-Rajeev "anna," business is booming huh!

23:54.283 --> 23:56.393
Ambika, there's a fair at Maravatse tomorrow (CHECK NAME)

23:56.832 --> 23:58.207
Keep the garlands ready.

23:58.518 --> 24:00.500
Don't forget. I'll get shouted at otherwise.

24:00.500 --> 24:01.375
Of course.

24:01.750 --> 24:03.125
Ambika, wait.
-What's it "anna?"

24:03.208 --> 24:04.542
Let me pay you, my dear.

24:06.610 --> 24:07.943
This is last week's payment.

24:08.017 --> 24:09.995
I'll clear the pending amount next week.
-Okay.

24:10.747 --> 24:12.135
Hey Swamy (CHECK NAME)

24:12.518 --> 24:15.625
How can you make such a pretty
girl sit at home, stringing flowers?

24:15.729 --> 24:18.745
You should quickly find her a groom who
will decorate her hair with flowers! Let's go.

24:18.975 --> 24:21.433
Your income as a barber is enough
to hold a royal wedding!

24:21.536 --> 24:22.578
Get her married quickly!

24:24.596 --> 24:25.179
Ambika

24:25.542 --> 24:25.875
Yes "appa..."

24:25.906 --> 24:26.614
Come here.

24:27.956 --> 24:30.112
Who do you think a princess should marry?

24:30.190 --> 24:32.143
A prince, of course.
-Isn't it?

24:32.323 --> 24:35.672
And for the princess of my home,
I have fixed an emperor called Ashoka!

24:35.867 --> 24:37.695
Oh c'mon "appa!"
-I'm serious!

24:37.819 --> 24:39.590
In Avaratti village,
there's a boy called Ashoka.(CHECK NAME)

24:39.746 --> 24:40.830
He will soon become an officer.

24:40.911 --> 24:44.250
He's nice. I've finalised a
match with him for you!

24:44.687 --> 24:46.210
He's a friend's son.

24:46.297 --> 24:49.521
In a week's time, the prince
will come here to see you.

24:49.797 --> 24:53.333
And I shall see you off in a palanquin!

24:53.625 --> 24:55.978
Stop teasing me "appa!"

24:56.003 --> 24:56.958
Come here, my girl.

24:57.450 --> 24:58.490
Do I have your consent?

24:58.917 --> 25:01.424
Just see her blush!

25:01.737 --> 25:03.460
Oh c'mon "appa!"

25:03.587 --> 25:04.753
[Chatter}

25:04.809 --> 25:07.719
Hey, the van is leaving! Come fast.

25:07.744 --> 25:08.660
My cycle!

25:10.333 --> 25:11.906
Hey, stop!

25:12.046 --> 25:13.516
Don't leave us behind.

25:13.547 --> 25:14.859
Heggade, Maranapura, Kuruvatti!

25:14.884 --> 25:16.576
Yes, that's where we're headed.

25:16.976 --> 25:20.117
Heggade, Maranapura, Kuruvatti!

25:20.167 --> 25:20.905
Where to madam?

25:21.062 --> 25:22.937
Think of her as your sister and sit.
-Yes, we go there.

25:22.976 --> 25:24.086
Kuruvatti!

25:24.605 --> 25:26.564
I hope the picture turns out like Kalpana!

25:27.078 --> 25:28.953
Maranapura. Kuruvatti.

25:29.523 --> 25:31.101
Go inside.

25:33.792 --> 25:34.586
Let's go.

25:34.992 --> 25:37.016
Hey wait!
-What happened!

25:37.292 --> 25:38.359
[-Hey Ashoka!]

25:41.057 --> 25:42.037
[Hey Ashoka!
Stop the van!

25:42.062 --> 25:44.437
My friend's got off the vehicle!

26:02.487 --> 26:03.612
Hey Ashoka!

26:04.725 --> 26:06.142
It's been a while since I last saw you!

26:06.312 --> 26:07.356
When did you come back?

26:07.445 --> 26:09.167
Just a few days ago.
-Are you done with studies?

26:09.167 --> 26:10.917
There's a huge fair coming up at Maruvatti (CHCK NAME)

26:11.167 --> 26:14.000
And nobody can play the
shehnai (musical instrument) like you.

26:14.695 --> 26:16.917
Hey Ashoka! Stop!

26:18.742 --> 26:20.531
[-You'll get paid, come!]
-Get lost now!

26:20.914 --> 26:22.264
[-Don't accept any work for that
day. Be there Ashoka, okay?]

26:22.289 --> 26:22.805
See you.

26:23.721 --> 26:25.086
Hey, why did you get off the van?

26:26.333 --> 26:28.992
I saw a girl during the
Shivaratri festival in our village.

26:29.391 --> 26:31.656
I felt like I saw her again around here.

26:32.101 --> 26:33.667
Nonsense! Let's go now.

26:33.667 --> 26:34.562
Hey wait.
-What?

26:35.266 --> 26:38.406
My father won't let me go
later. C'mon let's head to Kuruvatti.

26:38.523 --> 26:40.461
Does your father own a fleet
of vans to travel when we wish?

26:40.687 --> 26:42.859
There's no transport available
now. Let's go tomorrow.

26:43.008 --> 26:44.917
He's meant to see a prospective
bride, yet he's eyeing someone else!

27:07.324 --> 27:08.148
Ashoka!

27:10.775 --> 27:11.358
"Appa..."

27:11.445 --> 27:12.562
Bring me some thread.

27:13.676 --> 27:14.135
Okay.

27:17.711 --> 27:18.633
Take

27:19.734 --> 27:21.750
How long will you keep
mending the same pair?

27:23.002 --> 27:24.484
[-I can't throw them, can I?]
-You can.

27:24.871 --> 27:25.205
"Appa!"

27:25.702 --> 27:27.031
[-It hasn't worn out yet.]

27:28.538 --> 27:29.871
It's late. Go to bed.

28:09.898 --> 28:11.273
"Anna."..
-Please come.

28:11.792 --> 28:13.542
I want to buy a pair of slippers for my father.
-What size?

28:13.789 --> 28:14.708
8.
-8?

28:14.989 --> 28:16.031
Yes.
-Sure.

28:16.766 --> 28:17.578
Here it is.

28:18.945 --> 28:20.458
Not this. Something else please.
-Certainly.

28:20.680 --> 28:23.148
This is made of original
leather. Take a look.

28:24.275 --> 28:24.775
Nice.

28:24.930 --> 28:25.347
Pack this.
How much is it?

28:25.617 --> 28:28.922
That will be two and a half rupees.
-He's made me look just like Kalpana!

28:29.141 --> 28:29.667
"Anna..."
-Tell me madam.

28:29.880 --> 28:30.797
Show me that pair.

28:31.833 --> 28:32.333
How about this?

28:32.875 --> 28:33.625
Show me the other one.

28:34.042 --> 28:34.542
That one?

28:34.917 --> 28:36.023
Yes.
-Take a look.

28:36.801 --> 28:38.195
[Why is he staring at me?]

28:38.792 --> 28:41.100
You're done buying,
isn't it? Carry on.

28:41.125 --> 28:43.922
I don't want this.
Give me the other pair.

28:44.458 --> 28:45.667
See if this works.

28:45.792 --> 28:48.461
Not this. Give me something else.

28:48.539 --> 28:50.414
What's your problem? Wait.

28:51.930 --> 28:54.642
Not this. Give me that one!

28:54.667 --> 28:55.336
Let me get it.

28:57.836 --> 28:58.828
It's a lovely pair!

29:00.543 --> 29:01.906
I'm referring to the
slippers, not you two!

29:06.711 --> 29:07.523
Take madam.

29:08.622 --> 29:10.398
Why is this guy staring at me?

29:10.820 --> 29:11.445
Who is he?

29:16.155 --> 29:17.203
Hello mister!

29:17.909 --> 29:18.930
Hello mister!

29:19.523 --> 29:21.195
Which one have you chosen?

29:22.744 --> 29:23.648
Take this.

29:24.277 --> 29:24.819
Here.

29:26.664 --> 29:27.969
Isn't this the one you packed earlier?

29:29.008 --> 29:31.750
You checked everything and finally
chose the one you selected first.-I want this!

29:32.000 --> 29:32.917
I don't want anything else.

29:41.375 --> 29:43.008
And you're doing the exact same thing!

29:43.408 --> 29:45.436
Why do you keep turning
around to look at him?

29:54.359 --> 29:56.516
"Appa..."

29:58.378 --> 29:58.789
"Appa!"

30:00.633 --> 30:01.148
Give that to me.

30:01.641 --> 30:02.475
Take this.
-What's this?

30:02.500 --> 30:04.469
Don't ever wear
those torn slippers again.

30:04.844 --> 30:05.703
Wear this from now on.

30:08.031 --> 30:09.906
How's it? Liked it?

30:09.961 --> 30:10.672
It's very nice!

30:11.047 --> 30:14.125
Once you become an officer,
this is the only pair I'll wear.

30:14.430 --> 30:15.594
You'll never listen to me.

30:16.125 --> 30:17.203
Do what you like.

30:35.680 --> 30:36.883
"Come and give it a listen..."

30:37.968 --> 30:40.609
"Why does my heart dance away in joy, I wonder!"

30:40.703 --> 30:41.555
Ashoka...

30:41.906 --> 30:42.531
"Appa..."

30:43.750 --> 30:45.226
You're busy writing huh?

30:46.527 --> 30:47.902
Did you meet Yaley Swamy?

30:48.332 --> 30:50.656
He said you never visited
their home to meet his daughter.

30:51.055 --> 30:53.086
He's sent her photo.

31:47.172 --> 31:53.208
"Early in the morning, I woke
up stretching with a soft smile"

31:53.367 --> 31:59.000
"And there you stood with a coffee cup in hand"

32:05.133 --> 32:11.475
"Early in the morning, I woke
up stretching with a soft smile"

32:11.594 --> 32:17.083
"And there you stood with a coffee cup in hand."

32:17.083 --> 32:20.250
"A colourful dream took shape"

32:20.250 --> 32:23.083
"And I thought of you amidst the gentle breeze"

32:23.242 --> 32:26.333
"You appeared unannounced and left me stunned"

32:26.333 --> 32:30.000
"And I lost myself in that heavenly feeling!"

32:32.461 --> 32:38.875
"Why does my heart dance away in joy, I wonder!"

32:38.937 --> 32:44.542
"Come and give it a listen...it's singing your tune"

32:44.625 --> 32:50.458
"Why does my heart dance away in joy!"

32:50.695 --> 32:55.750
"Makes me want to visit your
doorstep and adorn your hair with flowers"

33:08.180 --> 33:14.183
"Me walking admiringly behind you,
you striding in front of me confidently"

33:14.625 --> 33:20.125
"I wish to whisper something
precious to your heart"!

33:20.687 --> 33:27.417
"You are the thunder that strikes and
I'm the spark that's ready to ignite"

33:27.547 --> 33:32.833
"There is a love to be lit that will glow up the skies"

33:33.250 --> 33:35.833
"A curious cloud takes a gentle peek"

33:36.258 --> 33:39.250
"Which makes this wild flower blush!"

33:39.320 --> 33:45.333
"Your one look has sent
my desires soaring sky high!"

33:45.719 --> 33:51.750
"Why does my heart dance away in joy, I wonder!"

33:52.086 --> 33:57.542
"Come and give it a listen...it's singing your tune"

33:57.875 --> 34:03.583
"Why does my heart dance away in joy, I wonder"

34:03.992 --> 34:09.375
"Makes me want to visit your doorstep
and adorn your hair with flowers"

34:10.070 --> 34:16.125
"Early in the morning, I woke
up stretching with a soft smile"

34:16.125 --> 34:21.417
"And there you stood with a coffee cup in hand"

34:22.430 --> 34:23.958
Hey, why are you following me!

34:24.055 --> 34:24.992
Who else should I follow?

34:25.070 --> 34:26.281
Are you joking?

34:26.351 --> 34:26.892
Not at all.

34:26.917 --> 34:28.000
Don't try your tricks with me.

34:28.437 --> 34:29.703
My village folk are really nice.

34:30.070 --> 34:31.492
But if you bother them, beware!

34:31.703 --> 34:33.328
You claim they're nice.
So why should I be scared?

34:33.562 --> 34:35.083
Why should I even talk to you!

34:35.414 --> 34:36.476
The flowers are falling off!

34:36.648 --> 34:38.148
I don't care. Why are you bothered?

34:38.180 --> 34:39.381
Please listen to me.

34:39.406 --> 34:40.375
Why should I?

34:40.375 --> 34:41.667
Please listen...

34:41.667 --> 34:43.811
Leave me alone.
-I really need to talk to you. Wait.

34:43.836 --> 34:45.891
I have nothing to talk to you.

34:46.055 --> 34:47.039
At least tell me your name.

34:47.078 --> 34:49.083
Why should I!!

34:49.312 --> 34:50.350
Please, at least tell me your name.

34:50.375 --> 34:51.953
Please tell me. Hello!

34:51.978 --> 34:52.976
It's Channakka.

34:53.008 --> 34:54.420
Channakka? Nice name!

34:54.445 --> 34:55.917
Get lost!
-I won't harm you, don't worry.

34:55.917 --> 34:57.032
Listen to me please!

34:57.057 --> 34:57.873
I won't.

34:57.898 --> 34:58.701
The flowers are falling off.
-I won't listen to you.

34:58.726 --> 35:01.030
Channakka, wait!
-I won't!

35:01.055 --> 35:01.701
Wait!
-I won't!

35:01.726 --> 35:03.234
Stop!
-No, I won't!

35:03.259 --> 35:06.093
Oh no, Channakka!!!!

35:12.278 --> 35:12.981
Where's Channakka?

35:13.138 --> 35:13.810
Channakka!

35:14.114 --> 35:15.138
I can't spot her anywhere!

35:15.340 --> 35:16.490
Channakka!

35:20.536 --> 35:23.193
Channakka!

35:27.325 --> 35:31.482
I'm struggling to stay alive
and you're calmly walking away?

35:32.708 --> 35:35.357
Is this what they call falling in love!

35:51.781 --> 35:52.695
Whose shehnai is this?
-It's...

35:53.367 --> 35:54.750
Whose shehnai is this?
-It's...

35:56.117 --> 35:57.898
My mother used to play it.

35:59.703 --> 36:02.930
She was the only one who could
play it in the whole of Karnataka.

36:04.656 --> 36:08.289
She'd play it for me every
night before sleeping.

36:09.086 --> 36:10.039
Mukhari raaga.

36:10.687 --> 36:14.508
One morning I woke up,
but my mother didn't.

36:17.594 --> 36:20.523
That evening, someone played
the same raaga at the village fair.

36:21.641 --> 36:23.172
I never got to know who it was.

36:23.766 --> 36:25.430
But I continue to feel it in me.

36:26.680 --> 36:28.961
Mukhaari raaga. My mother's favourite.

36:30.148 --> 36:33.458
Listen mister, my father has
already fixed a match for me.

36:33.961 --> 36:35.125
Stop following me.

36:35.570 --> 36:36.487
Please wait.

36:36.791 --> 36:37.844
Just listen to what I have to say.

36:38.555 --> 36:40.109
I know the boy who plays the Mukhaari raaga.

36:40.812 --> 36:44.359
I will bring him to the shrine
near Siddur hills tomorrow.

36:45.023 --> 36:45.958
Please come there.

36:46.372 --> 36:47.331
Give me one last chance.

36:47.812 --> 36:48.833
I will stop following you after that.

36:49.156 --> 36:50.398
You will surely feel happy.

36:50.804 --> 36:51.387
Hello!

36:52.226 --> 36:53.366
Hello, Miss Channakka!

36:53.391 --> 36:54.344
Please listen to me.

36:54.617 --> 36:55.367
Hello Channakka!

36:55.958 --> 36:56.711
Wait!

36:58.667 --> 36:59.719
Don't forget!

37:00.239 --> 37:01.273
Mukhaari raaga!

37:02.101 --> 37:03.226
The boy plays it really well.

37:04.047 --> 37:05.125
You'll surely feel happy.

38:39.629 --> 38:40.716
Ashoka?

39:42.755 --> 39:43.248
Appa,

39:43.273 --> 39:45.411
why don’t you quit working at that mudi katte.

39:53.059 --> 39:53.726
Appa,

39:54.489 --> 39:56.240
I’ve been hearing some crazy stories about that place.

39:56.507 --> 39:57.513
And about Kutti Babji too.

39:58.158 --> 39:59.622
Who the hell has been feeding with this information!

40:00.367 --> 40:01.958
Just concentrate on your exams okay!

40:02.141 --> 40:03.341
Appa, but listen to me..

40:07.169 --> 40:09.794
Your appointment letter hasn’t come.

40:09.990 --> 40:14.833
How long has it been since I told you to go enquire about it at Donipete office! Do it right away!

40:21.862 --> 40:22.818
District Employment Office

40:26.114 --> 40:27.073
Give this to him
-Okay sir.

40:29.971 --> 40:30.651
Sir, namaste.

40:31.049 --> 40:32.237
I'm Ashok.

40:32.495 --> 40:32.971
Please sit.

40:33.620 --> 40:35.104
I had appeared for
the revenue officer exam.

40:35.198 --> 40:37.042
Please check whether the
appointment letter has come.

40:39.190 --> 40:39.963
Let me check.

40:47.604 --> 40:48.354
Confirm your name please.

40:48.528 --> 40:49.195
Ashok.

40:49.635 --> 40:50.708
Is there an initial?

40:50.807 --> 40:52.846
Avuratti sir, AG. (CHECK)
-AG

40:55.526 --> 40:57.854
AG Ashok.

40:58.229 --> 41:02.042
It's been a week since the
appointment letter was sent mister!

41:02.255 --> 41:03.862
Go check in the post office.

41:04.174 --> 41:05.440
It's been a week?
-Yes.

41:07.302 --> 41:08.088
Thank you, sir.

41:18.010 --> 41:20.735
"Anna", did post man
Kempanna hand over any letter?

41:20.760 --> 41:21.983
No Ashoka.

41:22.008 --> 41:22.463
No?

41:25.187 --> 41:25.729
Shamanna...

41:26.417 --> 41:27.923
Did postman Kempanna hand you a letter?

41:27.948 --> 41:29.174
No Ashoka.

41:33.128 --> 41:35.415
You did get a letter, Ashoka.

41:35.440 --> 41:36.103
Where is it!

41:36.128 --> 41:37.833
I kept it on a ledge on your street.

41:38.268 --> 41:41.870
If I personally hand it to you,
the folks on the main street get angry with me.

41:42.620 --> 41:44.417
They have forbidden me from
coming to your homes to deliver it.

41:45.034 --> 41:46.721
[-They will not take any delivery from
me, if I personally deliver to you.]

41:47.362 --> 41:48.229
I'm helpless.

41:48.963 --> 41:50.190
Check if someone's
kept the letter aside.

41:50.893 --> 41:53.034
Time may change,
but people will never. Get lost!

42:16.750 --> 42:18.323
What's the matter Ashoka?

42:18.763 --> 42:20.055
Why that look on your face?

42:20.338 --> 42:23.171
The post man had kept my appointment
letter on a ledge on our street.

42:23.643 --> 42:24.526
I searched for it every where.

42:25.369 --> 42:26.285
But I couldn't find it.

42:27.159 --> 42:28.198
I can't report for work without it.

42:38.495 --> 42:39.088
Ashoka...

42:40.713 --> 42:41.315
Ashoka...

42:42.706 --> 42:43.885
A letter has arrived for you.

42:54.581 --> 42:56.612
Appa, your son is now an officer!

42:59.167 --> 43:00.065
Chandranna!
-Ashoka..

43:00.218 --> 43:00.968
I got the job!

43:02.549 --> 43:04.745
Our Ashoka got a government job!

43:04.833 --> 43:08.112
Ashoka got a job! Come here everyone!

43:08.463 --> 43:12.417
"Anna", Ashoka got a job!
-"Akka"," "Ashoka" "got a government job!

43:12.463 --> 43:14.838
Ashoka, I wish the best.

43:15.752 --> 43:17.153
Because (CHECK)

43:17.958 --> 43:20.667
Rajanna, our Ashoka got a government job!

43:21.000 --> 43:23.794
[-Let me go tell everyone
about this! It's party time!]

43:25.051 --> 43:27.106
Appa, what did you ask God for?

43:27.583 --> 43:28.935
When do you have to join work?

43:29.122 --> 43:30.917
From the day after!

43:31.104 --> 43:31.770
I'll be back.

43:32.762 --> 43:34.012
Protect us O lord!

43:42.810 --> 43:44.917
How long can we go on doing
this back-breaking work?

43:46.333 --> 43:48.029
Our kids will be born with a hunched back!

43:48.232 --> 43:49.193
We never went to school.

43:50.325 --> 43:51.747
Must our kids suffer the same fate?

43:53.036 --> 43:56.255
That Kutti Babji started his
trade and we got trained.

43:58.375 --> 44:00.750
Two packets of toddy. One piece of meat.

44:02.279 --> 44:03.292
What bloody lives are we leading!

44:07.667 --> 44:08.958
A tender will go out this year.

44:10.176 --> 44:11.661
Let's ask for better daily wages.

44:34.958 --> 44:37.828
If there's any difference in weight,
you'll have to face me!

44:40.898 --> 44:42.148
ಹೇ, ಇಲ್ಲಿಗೆ ಬಾ.
Hey you, come here.

44:43.700 --> 44:47.904
Apparently, you've called all the workers
and instigated them to ask for more wages.

44:48.865 --> 44:50.286
What you pay us is peanuts, sir.

44:51.505 --> 44:52.997
Pay us at least eight
annas to make a living.

44:54.083 --> 44:55.138
It gets tough for us otherwise.

44:56.357 --> 44:57.083
ಹೋಗೋ
Be off now.

44:57.583 --> 44:58.458
I shall look into it.

45:00.622 --> 45:02.950
What are you staring at? Leave.

46:01.625 --> 46:03.443
Boss!

46:12.250 --> 46:14.292
My boy!

47:10.229 --> 47:11.338
Nothing at all..

47:13.370 --> 47:15.821
It seems you said you're
finding it tough to make a living.

47:15.846 --> 47:16.708
No boss...

47:18.713 --> 47:20.510
If you're finding it tough to live,

47:42.588 --> 47:44.518
You lower class wretch!

47:51.272 --> 47:52.501
Oh god!

47:55.502 --> 47:57.534
You left us all behind!

47:59.684 --> 48:02.315
[Mourning continues]

48:22.762 --> 48:23.994
[Loud wailing in the background]

48:25.543 --> 48:28.752
Oh no....Chandra!

48:29.129 --> 48:30.296
Chandra!

49:06.041 --> 49:07.815
The culprit behind
all this is Kutti Babji!

49:08.182 --> 49:11.042
We have let him go scot free and
look what he's done to our Chadranna!

49:11.620 --> 49:12.924
Hey, speak softly.

49:13.713 --> 49:15.799
If he gets word of our
talk, we'll be done for.

49:16.077 --> 49:16.785
Talk softly.

49:19.917 --> 49:21.500
Talk softly everyone.

49:22.159 --> 49:22.917
Talk softly.

49:24.096 --> 49:24.878
Talk softly.

49:25.395 --> 49:26.395
TALK SOFTLY!

49:26.945 --> 49:27.820
What if they hear of this?

49:28.567 --> 49:29.901
Even if we all fall dead, speak softly.

49:30.234 --> 49:31.901
Even if the entire village
is destroyed, speak softly.

49:32.682 --> 49:34.979
SPEAK SOFTLY YOU ALL!

49:36.250 --> 49:38.299
Chandra!!!

49:46.254 --> 49:47.921
Ashoka!

49:48.745 --> 49:51.534
Our Chandra went away!

49:52.198 --> 49:54.581
Let's all keep dropping dead one by one!

49:55.792 --> 49:57.458
It won't take long!

49:58.708 --> 50:01.784
Please speak softly.

50:03.338 --> 50:04.713
Chandra!

50:05.831 --> 50:07.083
How could you just go away!

50:08.000 --> 50:11.333
Look at your daughter, Chandra!

50:23.917 --> 50:24.708
Ashoka...

50:26.197 --> 50:27.503
I may not be related to you by blood,

50:29.167 --> 50:30.612
but you're my brother.

50:32.184 --> 50:33.684
[CHECK]

50:34.143 --> 50:37.708
But you and I look
at life the same way.

50:38.904 --> 50:42.818
Even if I die, I'll always live inside you.

50:58.357 --> 50:58.896
"Appa..."

51:00.207 --> 51:01.082
Who is Kutty Babji?

51:01.246 --> 51:02.371
What did you just say!!

51:05.052 --> 51:07.000
"Appa," who is Kutty Babji?

51:07.943 --> 51:10.125
Everyone's saying it was
he who killed Chandranna.

51:10.615 --> 51:12.208
Don't get into that matter.

51:12.560 --> 51:14.450
Now focus on your new job.

51:15.708 --> 51:17.208
"Appa," it's a matter I have to get into.

51:17.711 --> 51:19.086
It's our Chandranna who was killed.

51:19.325 --> 51:22.042
I have guarded you with my
life since your mother died.

51:22.396 --> 51:26.958
I have gathered every anna to ensure your
clothes are ironed and you're dressed well.

51:27.154 --> 51:29.271
Because I wanted you to become an officer.

51:29.365 --> 51:32.536
But look at what you're focusing
on instead! Totally unnecessary.

51:32.888 --> 51:34.505
Let it go!

51:34.630 --> 51:36.750
Stop making a big deal about it!

51:36.982 --> 51:39.396
Ashoka!

52:04.177 --> 52:05.044
Ganapaiaah

52:06.278 --> 52:07.528
Chandranna is dead.

52:13.203 --> 52:14.318
Who is...

52:15.117 --> 52:16.013
Kutty Babji!!!

52:19.011 --> 52:20.094
What's going on in this village?

52:20.578 --> 52:21.828
What's going on at the "mudi katte?"
(hair tonsuring spot)

52:22.109 --> 52:23.396
I know you're aware of all that's going on!

52:23.661 --> 52:25.193
Ganapaiah, tell me!

52:27.857 --> 52:29.724
I'll tell you,

52:30.958 --> 52:33.417
but only if you will patiently listen to me.

52:34.740 --> 52:35.685
Only then will I tell you.

52:40.568 --> 52:43.146
Listen to me patiently.

52:45.021 --> 52:47.911
Breathe!

52:49.169 --> 52:49.958
You must breathe.

52:50.503 --> 52:52.003
If we have to breathe easy,

52:53.151 --> 52:54.182
you must breathe.

52:57.835 --> 52:58.710
Kutty Babji.

53:01.309 --> 53:02.184
Kutty Babji.

53:04.543 --> 53:06.793
Kutty Babji....

53:07.096 --> 53:07.862
It's all over.

53:09.362 --> 53:10.831
Everything is finished!

53:11.488 --> 53:13.518
All our lives are ruined.

53:14.572 --> 53:16.846
He's wiping us out one by one.

53:17.667 --> 53:19.120
Chandranna is gone.

53:20.026 --> 53:21.463
We will all go soon!

53:22.299 --> 53:23.333
Tomorrow it will be me.

53:24.590 --> 53:25.674
Then you.

53:30.658 --> 53:31.616
The other day,

53:36.000 --> 53:37.398
Lift your heads up.

53:40.219 --> 53:44.133
Do you know why I've called you here?

53:45.281 --> 53:47.680
So that you're informed
about what's going on here.

53:49.851 --> 53:50.906
Hey Rangayya (CHECK)

53:51.195 --> 53:51.641
Boss...

53:55.062 --> 53:55.531
Yes boss.

54:14.336 --> 54:17.042
You want a holiday and your pay!

54:17.734 --> 54:22.789
If your son becomes an officer,
what's left for me -- becoming a barber?

54:24.101 --> 54:27.219
Beware if such news comes to me again!

55:10.172 --> 55:11.461
Forgive us, Ashoka.

55:12.776 --> 55:14.651
None of us could come
to his rescue that day.

55:15.458 --> 55:16.797
We were helpless.

55:23.789 --> 55:25.750
He's built a huge empire.

55:26.344 --> 55:28.742
And has monsters to guard it.

55:34.273 --> 55:36.750
The entire village trembles in fear, Ashoka.

55:37.141 --> 55:39.164
Anyone who dared speak against him is dead.

55:39.976 --> 55:44.617
If we become jobless,
we'll die of hunger boss!

55:44.922 --> 55:46.570
Please give my job back!

55:46.595 --> 55:48.734
ಅವನನ್ನು ಕರೆದುಕೊಂಡು ಹೋಗು!
-ನನ್ನನ್ನು ಹೋಗಲು ಬಿಡಿ.
Take him away!
-Let me go.

55:50.375 --> 55:51.430
"Amma!"

55:51.910 --> 55:53.383
Amma!

55:53.687 --> 55:56.687
Please take care of my house dear goddess!

55:59.555 --> 56:03.594
So many families have lost their
lives because of his greed.

56:13.850 --> 56:16.797
They will stoop to any level to gather more hair!

56:27.456 --> 56:30.758
Hundreds of girls have been
defamed because of him.

56:38.854 --> 56:40.187
It's not just him.

56:40.726 --> 56:42.242
His son is another monster.

56:42.917 --> 56:43.792
A devil.

56:44.208 --> 56:46.000
A demon!

56:46.867 --> 56:48.444
I don't know how to wrestle, "anna."

56:54.917 --> 56:55.583
Rajanna!

56:55.773 --> 56:56.843
Give me a nice haircut.

56:57.275 --> 56:58.525
I want to look amazing!

57:07.758 --> 57:10.547
How dare you try to be on par with us!

57:10.647 --> 57:11.733
Get lost you wretch!

57:19.789 --> 57:21.273
Why have you started this new trend now?

57:21.625 --> 57:22.664
This is the first and last excuse for you.

57:23.219 --> 57:29.258
If I spot those lowly people here
again, you won't be spared!

57:29.359 --> 57:30.828
This is a message to all of you!

57:31.219 --> 57:35.208
If I spot any of those lowly ones
at a barber's shop in Avurutti,

57:37.141 --> 57:41.656
I'll remove their intestines and
decorate the shop's entrance with it!

57:43.192 --> 57:43.922
Let's go Vetri!

57:48.042 --> 57:49.917
Who will stop them Ashoka!

57:50.312 --> 57:51.270
Who will stop them!

57:51.792 --> 57:52.630
Who!!!

57:57.825 --> 58:00.372
They have earned thousands
by creating a hair mafia.

58:00.927 --> 58:04.458
For a mere four" annas",
we've sold ourselves Ashoka.

58:05.452 --> 58:07.160
There's no escape now.

58:07.536 --> 58:09.120
He spells death.

58:12.750 --> 58:14.708
Take your feet off!

58:14.708 --> 58:15.375
Why?

58:24.932 --> 58:26.753
Don't let anger guide you.

58:27.354 --> 58:29.049
Think calmly.

58:29.421 --> 58:31.338
A fool's folly is a villain's gain.

59:51.171 --> 59:51.659
"Appa!"

59:55.963 --> 59:56.440
"Appa!"

59:57.375 --> 59:58.083
Get on the cycle.

59:58.815 --> 01:00:00.065
Listen to me, wait.

01:00:00.195 --> 01:00:01.570
"Appa, "get on the cycle.

01:00:03.125 --> 01:00:03.667
"Appa!"

01:00:04.557 --> 01:00:05.979
I'm talking to you.

01:00:06.206 --> 01:00:09.260
Instead of focusing on a government job,
he wants to tonsure heads!

01:00:09.706 --> 01:00:12.346
Did I have to work so hard for this!

01:00:25.128 --> 01:00:25.958
Mahadev" anna "has sent this.

01:01:03.882 --> 01:01:07.745
This is your number. When you're called out from
the token table, raise your hands and say "present."

01:01:08.034 --> 01:01:09.596
Take water from the tank outside.

01:01:09.807 --> 01:01:13.125
There are separate rooms for gents
and women's hair. Deposit it there.

01:01:15.510 --> 01:01:17.260
Hey, did you understand what I said?

01:01:18.208 --> 01:01:20.010
Take this. Treat it like your deity.

01:01:20.624 --> 01:01:23.503
You can't take a day off even
if there's a death at home.

01:01:54.653 --> 01:01:55.292
Present

01:02:40.018 --> 01:02:40.893
Women - 3

01:02:41.387 --> 01:02:42.112
Kids - 7

01:02:42.268 --> 01:02:43.216
Men -- 31

01:02:43.406 --> 01:02:44.307
Total - 51

01:03:22.963 --> 01:03:24.109
I'm sorry boss!
Please spare me.

01:03:24.734 --> 01:03:25.820
I won't repeat it; please let me go!

01:03:25.845 --> 01:03:26.616
Vengam!

01:03:26.641 --> 01:03:27.328
Yes boss.

01:03:50.750 --> 01:03:54.667
Hair.

01:03:59.648 --> 01:04:03.383
And to build this empire of hair trade,

01:04:13.456 --> 01:04:17.047
Now should the hair be in
my hands or someone else's?

01:04:17.312 --> 01:04:19.414
Your hands boss...only yours.

01:04:26.828 --> 01:04:29.047
Now should I take it back or not?

01:04:31.281 --> 01:04:32.469
Go on, give it to me.

01:04:54.411 --> 01:04:57.773
a man died in our "mudi katte."

01:04:58.484 --> 01:05:00.039
How did he die?

01:05:01.632 --> 01:05:03.742
People are saying all sorts of things.

01:05:04.582 --> 01:05:06.180
But I'm unable to understand!

01:05:06.828 --> 01:05:07.745
Show me how it was done!

01:05:12.914 --> 01:05:14.039
Forgive me boss.

01:05:16.562 --> 01:05:17.781
Just show me!

01:05:18.244 --> 01:05:19.369
Forgive me, please!

01:05:34.974 --> 01:05:40.427
My family has cholera and I didn't have
money for medicines. Forgive me boss...

01:10:24.206 --> 01:10:30.542
I'm an old man. But you still have a long way to go.
You made a mistake beating him up to save me.

01:10:31.760 --> 01:10:34.159
I made a mistake telling you about Babji.

01:10:35.128 --> 01:10:36.268
He's a cruel man!

01:10:36.909 --> 01:10:38.979
One can't predict what he will do next.

01:10:40.684 --> 01:10:41.424
Ganapaiah,

01:10:42.190 --> 01:10:44.128
All this while, you were scared and
he continued to intimidate you.

01:10:44.836 --> 01:10:46.003
That won't work any more.

01:10:46.961 --> 01:10:47.628
Be brave.

01:11:29.377 --> 01:11:32.159
There were so many people,
but he alone beat them all up!

01:11:45.833 --> 01:11:47.083
Yes, do that!

01:11:52.000 --> 01:11:54.000
Eat boys!

01:11:54.973 --> 01:11:57.841
Eat, c'mon eat!

01:12:01.497 --> 01:12:03.289
Vengam
"-Anna..."

01:12:03.911 --> 01:12:05.357
yaro avanu?
Who is that boy?

01:12:05.424 --> 01:12:06.340
I don't know "anna."

01:12:06.583 --> 01:12:08.250
Where did he come from?

01:12:08.275 --> 01:12:09.358
I don't know "anna."

01:12:29.249 --> 01:12:29.943
Ambika

01:12:30.996 --> 01:12:31.996
Bring the kerosene my dear.

01:12:35.320 --> 01:12:36.070
Ambika!

01:12:36.716 --> 01:12:37.341
Mava! (father-in-law)

01:12:37.864 --> 01:12:38.505
Why did you come here?

01:12:40.185 --> 01:12:42.810
The moment you stepped into the "mudi katte",
I sent word that I didn't want this wedding.

01:12:46.693 --> 01:12:49.042
Why are you staring at her?
She too has agreed to this.

01:12:49.271 --> 01:12:52.083
You have invited death
by taking on Kutty Babji.

01:12:52.529 --> 01:12:54.865
Now should I get my
daughter married to a dead man?

01:12:55.976 --> 01:12:56.726
Tell me.

01:12:57.083 --> 01:13:00.357
Kutty has fed more blood
into the river than the ashes it carries!

01:13:01.849 --> 01:13:04.292
You haven't stepped on a sword;
you have the sword dangling above your head!

01:13:05.154 --> 01:13:08.325
Now tell me, you'll marry my
daughter and take good care of her?!

01:13:08.630 --> 01:13:11.706
He's tonsuring heads instead
of being an officer! Get lost!

01:15:54.982 --> 01:15:56.419
What's the matter "anna?"

01:15:56.536 --> 01:16:00.044
They've taken others in for work,
but sent us away, Ashoka.

01:16:00.263 --> 01:16:03.625
We at least had a job and
managed to feed our families.

01:16:03.997 --> 01:16:05.575
Now you've snatched our livelihood from us.

01:16:06.560 --> 01:16:07.708
You're an educated man.

01:16:07.914 --> 01:16:09.146
And will somehow get a job.

01:16:09.286 --> 01:16:10.294
But what about us?

01:16:10.654 --> 01:16:13.714
You're still young and will manage
somehow. What should we do?

01:16:13.984 --> 01:16:18.716
Speak up! - We too have lives to lead
and families to feed. What do we do now?

01:16:19.354 --> 01:16:23.950
You beat them up and became a big shot!
Now what should us lowly mortals do for a livelihood?

01:16:24.677 --> 01:16:27.350
We'll beg and plead Babji and go back to work.

01:16:27.490 --> 01:16:29.292
Please don't bother us again.

01:16:31.193 --> 01:16:34.732
Let him be.
-Let's go. It's a waste talking to him.

01:17:06.121 --> 01:17:07.371
District Commissioner's Office

01:17:20.276 --> 01:17:21.151
Sir, "namaste."

01:17:21.754 --> 01:17:23.379
"Namaste."
Sit down.

01:17:25.062 --> 01:17:25.812
Tell me what's the matter.

01:17:26.202 --> 01:17:27.535
Sir,I'm Ashok.

01:17:28.176 --> 01:17:33.437
I'm from Avaratti. And my entire village has been
working for generations at the Avaratti mudi katte.

01:17:33.786 --> 01:17:37.203
A man called Kutty Babji has forced
the entire village into bonded labour.

01:17:37.492 --> 01:17:39.828
People pay one rupee fifty paise
for each head that is tonsured.

01:17:40.086 --> 01:17:41.333
But he pays us 25 paise.

01:17:41.609 --> 01:17:44.417
And those who have
questioned him haven't survived.

01:17:44.812 --> 01:17:46.625
Hundreds of people have died because of this.

01:17:46.922 --> 01:17:49.601
Nobody dares submit
a tender against him.

01:17:49.726 --> 01:17:51.617
Now he's rendered people
jobless and sent them home.

01:17:52.367 --> 01:17:54.898
And many others have died for questioning authority.

01:17:56.078 --> 01:18:01.492
And it's not just one village; the entire district
doesn't dare submit a tender against him.

01:18:02.023 --> 01:18:05.445
Right now you're only seeing one Kutty Babji.

01:18:05.859 --> 01:18:09.320
But there numerous Babjis
backing him in many other forms.

01:18:10.125 --> 01:18:16.458
Politicians, cops, the heads of the
neighbouring villages and so many more.

01:18:16.792 --> 01:18:18.292
He's filled all their pockets rather well.

01:18:19.078 --> 01:18:21.398
Now tell me if you have the strength to take him on?

01:18:25.875 --> 01:18:27.289
This is a "chakravyuha" (maze).

01:18:28.023 --> 01:18:31.476
You might go in. But don't
even think of getting out.

01:18:32.320 --> 01:18:36.930
If you step in, they'll create
caste-based controversy.

01:18:37.648 --> 01:18:43.156
They'd have already devised
a strategy to make you powerless.

01:18:44.726 --> 01:18:47.141
You are aware of just one "mudi katte."

01:18:47.992 --> 01:18:52.969
But Kutti Babji has hundreds of
"mudi kattes "under his control.

01:18:55.164 --> 01:18:57.000
This is a huge empire.

01:18:57.633 --> 01:19:00.208
If they realise their empire is in danger,

01:19:00.930 --> 01:19:04.292
they'll be ready to destroy hundreds of Ashokas.

01:19:05.792 --> 01:19:09.875
Are you ready to float a tender despite all this?

01:19:10.757 --> 01:19:11.340
Tell me.

01:19:13.531 --> 01:19:14.555
Why are you silent?

01:19:18.367 --> 01:19:23.508
If people had feared for their lives,
would we have ever gained freedom?

01:19:25.304 --> 01:19:26.887
The men who gave up
their lives are my people.

01:19:27.117 --> 01:19:28.562
The ones dying out of hunger are my people.

01:19:28.969 --> 01:19:30.875
The money that's generated
rightfully belongs to my people.

01:19:31.344 --> 01:19:33.542
Sir, we're all living corpses.

01:19:34.062 --> 01:19:35.708
Why then should we fear death?

01:19:37.492 --> 01:19:38.851
I will apply for the tender, sir.

01:19:39.875 --> 01:19:40.476
Sure.

01:19:41.671 --> 01:19:45.155
Your knowledge and strength is immense.

01:19:45.750 --> 01:19:46.292
My best wishes!

01:19:47.281 --> 01:19:50.086
I will proceed as per law.

01:19:50.578 --> 01:19:51.633
And you do whatever is necessary.

01:19:52.109 --> 01:19:56.726
The flowing water, the wind, even a
blade of grass doesn't belong to a single person.

01:19:56.953 --> 01:19:57.867
It's for everyone.

01:19:58.234 --> 01:20:01.333
None of us are important nor unimportant.

01:20:01.969 --> 01:20:06.208
From a tiny insect to an elephant,
every creature has a right to live.

01:20:06.445 --> 01:20:08.281
And people like you must live!

01:20:09.792 --> 01:20:13.078
If a hundred brave hearts
like you step forward, it's enough.

01:20:13.594 --> 01:20:15.273
A huge change can be made!

01:20:17.417 --> 01:20:18.695
Step up!
-Thank you sir.

01:20:20.218 --> 01:20:20.789
Leave now!

01:20:21.523 --> 01:20:22.583
See you sir.

01:20:23.667 --> 01:20:24.414
Wait.

01:20:31.172 --> 01:20:34.758
Your life matters not to you alone,
but your community too.

01:20:35.785 --> 01:20:36.421
Take care.

01:20:36.917 --> 01:20:37.583
See you sir.

01:20:38.417 --> 01:20:39.167
Right sir.

01:20:48.331 --> 01:20:51.195
If we lose the tender,
we're as good as dead, Babji.

01:21:00.562 --> 01:21:02.828
Boss!

01:21:02.937 --> 01:21:03.687
ಏನಾಯಿತು ಅಣ್ಣಾ?
What happened boss?

01:21:03.875 --> 01:21:05.078
What is it?

01:21:09.984 --> 01:21:13.234
Having an ass doesn't qualify
you to poop on my behalf.

01:21:13.379 --> 01:21:14.171
ಹೋಗೋ
Get lost!

01:21:24.500 --> 01:21:28.976
Hunger is like a dog riddled with worms.

01:21:29.844 --> 01:21:31.417
It gnaws at you.

01:21:32.531 --> 01:21:33.867
Vengayam (CHECK)
- Boss...

01:21:34.508 --> 01:21:36.000
Eat it my boy.

01:21:39.583 --> 01:21:41.242
Call for the tender.

01:21:41.750 --> 01:21:47.422
I'll handle the rest.

01:21:48.500 --> 01:21:50.508
ನಾಯಿಗಳು
The lowly scoundrel!

01:21:52.077 --> 01:21:52.994
All well sir?

01:21:55.833 --> 01:21:56.469
All good.

01:22:00.698 --> 01:22:03.531
It's yours this time too.

01:22:03.906 --> 01:22:05.000
That's all that matters!

01:22:12.476 --> 01:22:15.141
Why have you called us here?

01:22:15.359 --> 01:22:16.726
We lost our only job.

01:22:16.979 --> 01:22:18.270
And we have families to support,

01:22:18.844 --> 01:22:21.427
unlike you who only has a father to take care of.

01:22:21.879 --> 01:22:24.141
Quit wasting time and let's leave!

01:22:27.885 --> 01:22:29.055
I don't have anyone Nagraj "anna."

01:22:30.375 --> 01:22:31.167
But you have everyone.

01:22:32.333 --> 01:22:33.083
So why are you here?

01:22:34.096 --> 01:22:34.596
Leave!

01:22:36.039 --> 01:22:39.336
We've all been dead for a long time!

01:22:40.500 --> 01:22:41.891
The breathing is just a habit now.

01:22:42.344 --> 01:22:43.445
I haven't come here for you folks.

01:22:45.948 --> 01:22:47.031
I've come for our children.

01:22:48.167 --> 01:22:49.344
The next generation.

01:22:54.327 --> 01:22:55.202
So folks,

01:22:57.417 --> 01:22:58.836
how much longer will you stay silent?

01:22:59.792 --> 01:23:00.937
We lost Chandranna.

01:23:01.934 --> 01:23:03.143
You lost your uncle.

01:23:03.742 --> 01:23:04.909
He too lost a loved one.

01:23:05.278 --> 01:23:06.487
My father's life is at risk.

01:23:06.817 --> 01:23:08.109
And it's the same with you!

01:23:08.296 --> 01:23:09.504
And him too.

01:23:10.739 --> 01:23:12.406
Let our kids fear death constantly.

01:23:13.427 --> 01:23:16.203
All of you bow down your heads to Kutty Babji,

01:23:17.008 --> 01:23:18.125
eat the leftovers thrown by him,

01:23:18.770 --> 01:23:22.104
and continue living this miserable
life for another thousand years.

01:23:23.932 --> 01:23:26.805
Learn to live with pride even if heads roll!!

01:23:28.171 --> 01:23:29.422
Learn to live with pride!

01:23:30.813 --> 01:23:32.024
And not bow down.

01:23:32.562 --> 01:23:33.875
It's okay if we starve.

01:23:34.703 --> 01:23:35.742
Our kids must study,

01:23:36.773 --> 01:23:37.833
They must build a good life.

01:23:38.055 --> 01:23:40.281
But how! We have lost our jobs!

01:23:45.203 --> 01:23:46.500
The "mudi katte" doesn't belong to his father!

01:23:47.387 --> 01:23:49.336
We are the one who've
toiled there for generations!

01:23:51.125 --> 01:23:55.292
If I had been worried about my own home
and government job, I'd not be here with you!

01:23:56.109 --> 01:23:57.922
But I will not bow down and
live like a corpse like you all!

01:23:58.195 --> 01:24:01.375
Until I die, I will not give up!

01:24:01.734 --> 01:24:02.516
Mark my words!

01:24:05.184 --> 01:24:06.143
Tell me Ganapaiah,

01:24:06.844 --> 01:24:09.258
you stopped us from responding when
they abused Chandranna and we held back.

01:24:09.667 --> 01:24:10.792
And then we lost him.

01:24:11.180 --> 01:24:14.125
How many more lof our people
must die? Tell me Ganapaiah!

01:24:15.296 --> 01:24:16.101
Folks, tell me!

01:24:17.000 --> 01:24:17.875
Why are you silent?

01:24:18.487 --> 01:24:19.070
Tell me!

01:24:20.833 --> 01:24:23.500
I'm not a sacrificial lamb
to stay silent like you folks!

01:24:25.125 --> 01:24:28.750
When I go, I won't go alone. I'll take
ten such Kutty Babji's with me.

01:24:30.766 --> 01:24:32.258
Give it a thought and tell me.

01:24:33.961 --> 01:24:34.969
They will announce the tender tomorrow.

01:24:36.203 --> 01:24:37.406
And our future will be decided too.

01:24:38.319 --> 01:24:39.027
We need money.

01:24:40.609 --> 01:24:41.906
Those who wish to stand with me, stay.

01:24:43.247 --> 01:24:43.872
If not, leave.

01:24:46.270 --> 01:24:46.979
Be off.

01:24:53.941 --> 01:24:56.453
Chandranna isn't dead. He's alive.

01:24:59.765 --> 01:25:00.875
He's alive inside you!

01:25:02.258 --> 01:25:03.601
I am with you!

01:25:03.789 --> 01:25:05.213
I'm alive because of you.

01:25:05.594 --> 01:25:07.078
And I'm ready to die for this cause!

01:25:07.233 --> 01:25:09.874
And I'll join you in this
mission every lifetime!

01:25:10.601 --> 01:25:16.458
I'm with you.

01:25:16.750 --> 01:25:34.042
We are with you!

01:26:08.653 --> 01:26:09.937
Mysore: 13 miles

01:26:11.359 --> 01:26:13.333
It's not just you who's facing
injustice at the "mudi katte."

01:26:13.817 --> 01:26:15.406
This fight will never end.

01:26:15.726 --> 01:26:19.656
We must continue engaging youngsters
until this problem is eradicated from its roots.

01:26:20.031 --> 01:26:22.250
This is the money I've earned from
writing "bandaya kavithe" (revolutionary verses).

01:26:23.127 --> 01:26:24.627
I had kept it aside for our movement.

01:26:25.133 --> 01:26:27.367
But it's not enough to cover your requirement.

01:26:28.257 --> 01:26:29.049
Take.

01:26:32.382 --> 01:26:33.549
A word of advice, Ashoka.

01:26:34.192 --> 01:26:36.234
If you bow to them,
they will step on your head!

01:26:36.725 --> 01:26:38.267
Caste doesn't make you a king.

01:26:38.773 --> 01:26:41.000
Only intelligence, courage, strength
and resilience can make you one.

01:26:41.555 --> 01:26:43.208
You share a name with an emperor.

01:26:43.716 --> 01:26:45.871
Only if you fight, will you survive.

01:26:45.896 --> 01:26:47.966
And you possess the spirit to win! Go on!

01:27:09.348 --> 01:27:16.325
The auction process for the "Mudi Katte "of the Pothuramma temple under the jurisdiction of Avarutti panchayat, is now about to begin.

01:27:17.661 --> 01:27:24.411
Interested participants should place
their bid amount in the box placed on the table.

01:28:21.138 --> 01:28:23.365
[Only 15 minutes left]

01:28:59.114 --> 01:29:01.294
[Only 5 minutes left]

01:31:27.825 --> 01:31:28.599
Stand there.

01:31:36.042 --> 01:31:36.740
Announce it.

01:31:38.200 --> 01:31:43.263
Kutty Babji's bid stands at Rs 15,000.

01:31:48.365 --> 01:31:53.232
Ashok's bid stands at Rs 18,000.

01:31:58.638 --> 01:32:19.208
Victory to Ashoka!

01:32:19.560 --> 01:32:20.607
This is your money.

01:32:21.607 --> 01:32:23.333
It was sent to me as bribe.
And I ensured it reached you.

01:32:23.779 --> 01:32:24.786
It was sent to me as bribe.
And I ensured it reached you.

01:32:25.693 --> 01:32:28.427
Ashoka, this victory was much needed.

01:32:29.583 --> 01:32:31.154
This victory is ours!

01:32:32.700 --> 01:32:35.315
Go on.
[-Victory to Ashoka!]

01:32:35.542 --> 01:32:39.698
Victory to Ashoka!

01:32:52.699 --> 01:32:53.885
"Jai Ashoka!"

01:33:08.379 --> 01:33:09.171
"Ambika, "

01:33:10.030 --> 01:33:10.987
"let’s go my dear"

01:33:26.839 --> 01:33:29.503
Ashoka, what is love?

01:33:30.323 --> 01:33:32.010
Knowledgeable folk give it big descriptions.

01:33:32.984 --> 01:33:34.487
But to me it means...

01:33:35.166 --> 01:33:36.207
leading a life with you.

01:33:36.484 --> 01:33:38.109
How much do you love me?

01:33:38.338 --> 01:33:44.375
As much as a penguin which endures the rain and
snow, yet holds its loved one close and protects it.

01:33:44.995 --> 01:33:51.917
I don't believe in rebirth. But
I'd like to live this lifetime with you.

01:33:52.370 --> 01:33:56.956
I want to loot the entire world...and
ensure only our voice are heard.(check)

01:33:57.190 --> 01:33:59.331
Will you give me all (CHECK)

01:33:59.700 --> 01:34:01.221
All my moments are for you Ambika.

01:34:01.565 --> 01:34:03.503
Love you Ashoka.
-I love you Ambika.

01:34:08.875 --> 01:34:09.625
Ambika

01:34:10.502 --> 01:34:11.418
Please come, my dear.

01:34:12.708 --> 01:34:13.750
Please come out.

01:34:22.169 --> 01:34:22.890
Yele Swamy

01:34:23.247 --> 01:34:26.292
How can you back off after
agreeing to the engagement?

01:34:26.487 --> 01:34:27.278
Tell me.

01:34:27.667 --> 01:34:32.771
I understand you wanted to give your daughter
to a government officer and secure her life.

01:34:33.125 --> 01:34:36.466
But our Ashoka is no less
than a government officer.

01:34:36.687 --> 01:34:37.604
He's educated.

01:34:38.599 --> 01:34:41.724
You had agreed to get them engaged.
How can you back off now?

01:34:41.893 --> 01:34:42.518
Tell me.

01:34:42.763 --> 01:34:45.083
When he takes care of the entire community,

01:34:46.043 --> 01:34:47.880
won't he take even better care of Ambika?

01:34:48.598 --> 01:34:51.075
Please tell us Ambika.

01:34:52.302 --> 01:34:56.833
What do I say? All you men stood
together and left me alone.

01:34:59.312 --> 01:34:59.895
"Appa"

01:35:01.354 --> 01:35:04.060
I saw you as my own mother
and lived all these years.

01:35:06.083 --> 01:35:10.021
And nobody can take
care of me like you do.

01:35:13.663 --> 01:35:15.357
We hadn't formalised the wedding, that's all.

01:35:15.653 --> 01:35:16.888
But we were married in our hearts.

01:35:19.419 --> 01:35:20.792
So mister Ashoka,

01:35:22.718 --> 01:35:28.185
you confessed your love to me and the
moment my father said 'no', you just left.

01:35:29.875 --> 01:35:32.375
Didn't you feel hurt at all?

01:35:34.904 --> 01:35:38.146
Even goats and sheep are
leading a better life than me!

01:35:39.208 --> 01:35:41.138
I'm not sure if god exists.

01:35:41.685 --> 01:35:43.750
But I do believe everyone
deserves what's rightfully theirs.

01:35:44.185 --> 01:35:48.068
It's not fair to separate
two hearts that are in love.

01:36:05.685 --> 01:36:06.529
Ashoka

01:36:08.278 --> 01:36:09.237
Ashoka...

01:36:18.815 --> 01:36:22.818
Oh no! Please forgive me!

01:36:25.023 --> 01:36:28.130
Please forgive me, my dear!

01:37:06.250 --> 01:37:26.458
"It's Gowri's wedding!"

01:37:26.458 --> 01:37:29.875
"The one with the doe eyes of Saraswati"

01:37:31.527 --> 01:37:35.277
"And the alluring divine smile"

01:37:36.750 --> 01:37:40.708
"She is Girija, the companion of the blue-throated warrior!"

01:37:41.771 --> 01:37:47.630
"Oh goddess Parvati, the divine consort of Lord"

01:37:48.990 --> 01:37:55.125
"Bless this daughter of yours"

01:37:56.375 --> 01:38:01.542
"Oh behold this king who will arrive on an elephant"!

01:38:01.833 --> 01:38:06.375
"For my son is a true king!"

01:38:06.911 --> 01:38:11.708
"Oh behold this king who will arrive on an elephant"

01:38:11.974 --> 01:38:16.625
"For my son is a true king!"

01:38:17.005 --> 01:38:21.875
"My regal son is now set to be your son-in-law"

01:38:21.990 --> 01:38:26.794
"And when it comes to romance, he's unbeatable!"

01:38:26.943 --> 01:38:31.417
"The auspicious hour has arrived"

01:38:31.810 --> 01:38:36.292
"for both Shiva and Girija!"

01:38:36.896 --> 01:38:41.458
"The auspicious hour has arrived"

01:38:41.958 --> 01:38:46.625
"for both Shiva and Girija"

01:38:47.005 --> 01:38:52.000
"Behold the handsome groom on his horse!"

01:38:52.083 --> 01:38:57.167
"My son is a playful fella, beware!"

01:38:57.427 --> 01:39:02.208
"My playful son is now set to be your son in law"

01:39:27.333 --> 01:39:29.667
"When the wedding is solemnised,"

01:39:29.950 --> 01:39:32.417
"the bride is a picture of laughter"

01:39:32.521 --> 01:39:36.708
"and soon after, she's led to her new home"

01:39:37.404 --> 01:39:47.292
"after the wedding is solemnised and the bride is
led to her new home, her father misses his little girl!"

01:39:48.044 --> 01:39:49.247
Ambika!

01:39:50.270 --> 01:39:52.651
"When the bride enters
the threshold of her new home,"

01:39:52.880 --> 01:39:59.875
"the gentle rains heralds a new
beginning for the blessed couple"

01:40:00.372 --> 01:40:09.708
"When the new bride enters her marital home,
they begin a new life of hopes and dreams"

01:40:10.575 --> 01:40:15.292
"You're the guiding light of our home,
may that smile on your face never fade"

01:40:15.513 --> 01:40:20.542
"You're the goddess of our home,
grace us with peace and prosperity"

01:40:33.724 --> 01:41:04.000
"It's Gowri's wedding!"

01:41:14.315 --> 01:41:17.648
boss! come boss..

01:41:19.958 --> 01:41:20.750
"Appa!"

01:41:23.366 --> 01:41:24.068
"Appa!"

01:41:28.125 --> 01:41:29.099
"come Appa!"

01:42:36.330 --> 01:42:37.121
"Appa!"

01:42:58.328 --> 01:43:02.750
I don't care if I lose the mudi
katte, my properties or money.

01:43:03.823 --> 01:43:05.239
Reputation.

01:43:06.246 --> 01:43:07.913
My reputation.

01:43:08.354 --> 01:43:12.520
The ones who used to sit by
my feet waiting for orders,

01:43:12.849 --> 01:43:14.578
are now standing eye to eye with me.

01:43:24.500 --> 01:43:25.292
"Appa!"

01:43:41.569 --> 01:43:42.163
What's up mister!

01:43:42.328 --> 01:43:42.984
Who is this for?

01:43:43.135 --> 01:43:44.445
For my father in law.

01:43:53.211 --> 01:43:55.875
She's kicking away!
-How do you know it's a girl?

01:43:56.742 --> 01:43:59.083
It has to be a girl. She will
fill my mother's absence.

01:44:01.172 --> 01:44:01.839
See you.

01:44:11.327 --> 01:44:11.702
See you.

01:44:13.500 --> 01:44:14.833
You're my queen!

01:44:15.469 --> 01:44:15.989
Take care.

01:44:19.250 --> 01:44:19.708
"Appa..."

01:44:28.234 --> 01:44:29.708
Take care.
-Okay.

01:44:32.106 --> 01:44:32.523
"Mava" (father-in-law)

01:44:33.031 --> 01:44:34.016
Here's your coffee.

01:44:39.820 --> 01:44:44.039
I agree that you've struggled hard
to make your son an officer.

01:44:44.758 --> 01:44:51.766
But have you recognised that his education is
helping an entire community to live well today?

01:44:53.469 --> 01:45:02.281
Gandhi, Ambedkar and Netaji didn't use their education for their own
benefit. Their greatness lies in using it for the betterment of society.

01:45:02.758 --> 01:45:07.625
It's Ashoka's dream to see the children
of our community study and become officers.

01:45:10.516 --> 01:45:18.969
He's taken the responsibility for everyone, buried his pain,
yet it's killing him that his own father refuses to speak to him.

01:45:19.609 --> 01:45:21.125
Just speak to him, "mava."

01:45:21.930 --> 01:45:22.992
Don't be so stubborn.

01:45:24.508 --> 01:45:27.351
It's clear you're in pain too, by not talking to him.

01:45:29.476 --> 01:45:33.812
Let go off that burden. Talk to him "mava."

01:46:16.966 --> 01:46:17.742
Ashoka!

01:46:18.625 --> 01:46:20.469
I met your father at Donipete.

01:46:20.641 --> 01:46:24.289
He wishes to speak to you. Go home, quick.

01:46:24.487 --> 01:46:24.945
Go soon.

01:46:25.469 --> 01:46:27.167
To me?
-Of course Ashoka.

01:46:27.789 --> 01:46:29.667
Ganapaiah, is this true?

01:46:29.667 --> 01:46:31.083
Why would I lie?

01:46:31.266 --> 01:46:32.617
My father?

01:46:37.866 --> 01:46:38.914
Go slowly!

01:46:55.958 --> 01:46:57.683
Ashoka!
-What's the matter?

01:46:57.708 --> 01:47:00.000
Kutty Babji's men are on a killing spree!
-Come sit.

01:47:00.000 --> 01:47:01.047
Let's go quickly!

01:47:01.500 --> 01:47:02.292
Quick!

01:47:08.458 --> 01:47:09.539
Your father's cycle.

01:47:12.458 --> 01:47:13.312
What happened?

01:47:15.156 --> 01:47:21.336
Ganganna!

01:47:46.937 --> 01:48:05.000
"Appa!"

01:48:20.862 --> 01:48:22.070
"Amma!" (mother)

01:49:31.143 --> 01:49:32.320
Ashoka!

01:49:33.672 --> 01:49:35.461
This is unbearable!

01:49:37.344 --> 01:49:39.062
Ashoka, this is unbearable!

01:49:40.484 --> 01:49:45.406
Please save us Ashoka!

01:49:59.469 --> 01:50:01.766
But you destroyed it in a flash!

01:50:02.117 --> 01:50:03.391
Are you even a human!!

01:50:09.703 --> 01:50:12.711
Don't talk nonsense.

01:50:13.190 --> 01:50:14.844
Don't chew my brains!

01:50:22.601 --> 01:50:26.750
You're a street dog who
survives on the scrap I throw at you.

01:50:36.901 --> 01:50:38.195
Ambika!

01:50:41.086 --> 01:50:42.523
"Appa!"

01:51:41.507 --> 01:51:45.215
"Appa!"

01:53:54.398 --> 01:53:55.101
Here, look!

01:53:57.281 --> 01:53:59.101
What are you waiting for Ashoka?

01:53:59.351 --> 01:54:02.031
Don't spare him! Beat him up!

01:54:05.120 --> 01:54:12.578
Beat him up Ashoka! Don't spare him!

01:54:21.797 --> 01:54:23.568
"Appa!"

01:54:37.669 --> 01:54:39.271
You're fine, "appa."

01:58:20.530 --> 01:58:25.161
No! Ashoka!

01:58:27.489 --> 01:58:31.833
Please spare him!

02:01:09.141 --> 02:01:12.344
The flowing water, the wind, even a
blade of grass doesn't belong to a single person.

02:01:12.369 --> 02:01:14.500
It's for everyone.

02:01:15.427 --> 02:01:21.047
Nothing is worst, nothing is great

02:01:22.148 --> 02:01:26.083
None of us are important nor unimportant.

02:01:55.721 --> 02:02:00.672
"I know the hearts of those who have been oppressed, "

02:02:00.726 --> 02:02:05.929
"I know the truth of those who have given."

02:02:06.392 --> 02:02:11.808
"I know the hearts of those who have been oppressed, I know the truth of those who have given."

02:02:11.945 --> 02:02:14.208
"I know the hearts of those who have been oppressed, "

02:02:14.398 --> 02:02:16.833
"I know the truth of those who have given."

02:02:17.062 --> 02:02:19.520
"like a spark of Lord shiva"

02:02:19.713 --> 02:02:22.281
"like a Lord shiva hiding poison in his neck"

02:02:22.750 --> 02:02:25.417
"carrying DAMARAKA in hands"

02:02:28.078 --> 02:02:30.250
"carrying DAMARAKA in hands"

02:02:30.250 --> 02:02:32.711
"Come, Lord Shiva!"

02:02:33.042 --> 02:02:38.055
"Oh Lord Shiva, descend upon us!"

02:02:38.384 --> 02:02:42.375
"Unmindful of the burning
sun or pouring rain,"

02:02:44.256 --> 02:02:47.289
"Oh Lord Shiva, descend upon us!"

02:02:47.500 --> 02:02:50.734
"Ignoring the biting cold and wind,"

02:02:50.921 --> 02:02:54.726
"and the will to not succumb to fear"

02:02:54.922 --> 02:02:59.719
"He is the one who rises with dawn"

02:02:59.744 --> 02:03:02.219
"He turns a blazing red when provoked"

02:03:02.375 --> 02:03:04.641
"He remains unparalleled"

02:03:05.052 --> 02:03:07.547
"He will burn you to ashes with his force"

02:03:07.702 --> 02:03:10.202
"The magician who will tame a tiger if he wills"

02:03:10.592 --> 02:03:13.023
"He bears a compassionate heart"

02:03:13.048 --> 02:03:15.383
"He is the incarnation of thunder and lightening"

02:03:15.718 --> 02:03:17.953
"Descend on us O Lord Shiva!"

02:03:18.067 --> 02:03:20.492
"He will tear the wicked and cruel apart"

02:03:21.004 --> 02:03:23.031
"and dance with their severed heads"

02:03:23.729 --> 02:03:26.711
"And shatter the pride of those
who boast about their mighty class"

02:03:26.736 --> 02:03:31.242
"He will tear the wicked and cruel apart"

02:03:31.719 --> 02:03:34.344
"he will dance with their severed heads"

02:03:34.369 --> 02:03:42.672
"and shatter the pride of those
who boast about their mighty class"

02:03:42.999 --> 02:03:57.609
"Oh Lord Shiva, descend upon us!"

02:04:19.581 --> 02:04:24.789
"He takes on a fierce form
that can swallow a volcano"

02:04:25.375 --> 02:04:30.193
"When he sees injustice,
he strikes with a fierce blow"

02:04:30.351 --> 02:04:35.226
"He takes on a fierce form
that can swallow a volcano"

02:04:35.710 --> 02:04:40.877
"When he sees injustice,
he strikes with a fierce blow"

02:04:41.042 --> 02:04:43.693
"The haughty and the arrogant are struck down"

02:04:43.723 --> 02:04:46.256
"and their blood-stained bodies"

02:04:46.401 --> 02:04:51.609
"fall mercilessly to the ground,
as though struck hard by lightening"

02:04:52.335 --> 02:05:13.835
"Lord Shiva, descend upon us!"
