ZILLA PARISHAD GIRLS HIGH SCHOOL,
SILERU, ALLURI SITHARAMA RAJU DISTRICT

01:31.105 --> 01:32.980
Ma'am! Ma'am! Please, ma'am.

01:33.813 --> 01:35.730
Ma'am! No, ma'am!

01:36.605 --> 01:38.396
NAMASTE
THANK YOU

01:47.188 --> 01:50.146
I ditched a high-paying
private-sector job,

01:50.813 --> 01:54.855
traveled all this way
on a dusty government bus

01:55.188 --> 01:58.938
just to teach you guys,
and this is how you score?!

02:02.230 --> 02:03.146
Hold out your hand.

02:03.771 --> 02:04.688
Don't hit me, ma'am.

02:05.271 --> 02:06.146
Look here.

02:07.313 --> 02:08.230
Look here!

02:15.771 --> 02:18.938
Budge before evening, and you're dead!

02:27.355 --> 02:28.896
You should've just studied
like madam said.

02:29.396 --> 02:30.271
You never listen!

02:32.271 --> 02:34.605
Hey, get inside! Now!

03:08.688 --> 03:09.771
Will you kill them for bad grades?

03:11.021 --> 03:13.230
Teachers like you
are a threat to education.

03:13.980 --> 03:16.396
I am going to suspend you
for one year. Get out!

03:47.063 --> 03:47.938
Brother…

03:50.771 --> 03:53.188
Don't honk near
the temple junction, brother.

03:53.355 --> 03:55.021
Trinadh's daughter is asleep with a fever.

03:55.230 --> 03:57.438
- Turn right and go around the village.
- Right. Will do.

04:04.230 --> 04:06.230
Stop, brother! Pull over!

04:08.021 --> 04:10.771
- Don't honk near the temple junction.
- Why?

04:10.855 --> 04:12.521
Trinadh's daughter is asleep with a fever.

04:12.771 --> 04:14.313
Turn right and bypass the village.

04:14.563 --> 04:16.896
- Who the hell are you to tell me?
- Please listen to me!

04:17.355 --> 04:20.021
Brother, tell him not to honk.
Don't honk, brother.

04:20.105 --> 04:23.146
- Hey, get lost!
- Please, brother! Brother! Brother!

04:23.855 --> 04:26.396
Brother, please! Don't honk, brother!

04:26.896 --> 04:28.396
She'll wake up.

04:38.980 --> 04:41.646
Brother! Please don't honk!

04:42.146 --> 04:43.105
Please listen to me!

04:43.938 --> 04:46.521
Don't you understand?
I'm talking to you!

05:02.105 --> 05:03.188
Hey, who are you?

05:06.313 --> 05:07.271
HEY!

05:18.730 --> 05:21.771
Hey! Didn't I send someone to tell you

05:22.105 --> 05:24.980
my daughter has a fever
and ask you not to honk?

05:26.480 --> 05:29.480
No more honking until you cross Polluru.

05:30.355 --> 05:31.271
Go!

05:33.605 --> 05:36.896
Grandma, my daughter complained
you didn't give her thick chutney.

05:36.980 --> 05:39.646
- I packed the thick chutney only, dear.
- You did, right?

05:39.771 --> 05:40.646
Yes.

05:42.771 --> 05:44.605
- Hey, Suri! Deliver this home.
- Brother?

05:45.063 --> 05:48.230
Also, did Donkarayi Seenu
fix the phone yet?

05:48.313 --> 05:51.355
- He will return it today, brother.
- Go get it. She'll ask when she wakes up.

05:51.438 --> 05:53.563
Whether she's eating or bugging me,
she needs the phone!

05:53.646 --> 05:54.521
- Okay? Go.
- Okay.

05:54.980 --> 05:56.105
- Hey, Suri.
- Brother?

05:56.730 --> 05:59.730
I'm going to Sileru
to buy Manamma's nose rings.

06:01.271 --> 06:03.438
- Don't tell Kaveri.
- Okay, brother.

06:24.521 --> 06:25.480
How about this?

06:25.688 --> 06:27.813
That's my dad, Trinadh Rama Kasu.

06:28.563 --> 06:32.813
My dad is one of millions
who adore their daughters.

06:32.896 --> 06:34.355
It might be too small.

06:34.813 --> 06:36.980
- My daughter has a small, delicate nose.
- I see.

06:37.271 --> 06:38.480
- Please pack this.
- Okay.

06:39.105 --> 06:41.188
This is my Dad's story.

06:42.105 --> 06:43.938
This is my village, Polluru.

06:44.021 --> 06:44.896
A YEAR AGO

06:44.980 --> 06:47.855
The Ayyappa Swamy Temple
beside the dam

06:47.938 --> 06:49.605
on our village outskirts is very sacred.

06:49.688 --> 06:53.646
Devotees from all over travel here
to worship Lord Ayyappa.

06:53.730 --> 06:55.563
<i>- Swamiye Sharanam</i>
<i>- Ayyappa Sharanam</i>

06:55.646 --> 06:57.438
Meet our Guru Swamy, Goparaju.

06:57.646 --> 06:59.730
He's observed
the Ayyappa vow 40 times.

07:00.188 --> 07:03.438
The devotees believe receiving
the sacred <i>Irumudi</i> from him

07:03.521 --> 07:06.646
and making the Sabarimala pilgrimage
will end all their troubles.

07:06.730 --> 07:08.980
Swamiye Ayyappo!

07:09.188 --> 07:11.938
That's my mom, Kaveri,
and I'm Manikanta.

07:12.480 --> 07:14.188
But where's my Dad?

07:14.688 --> 07:20.980
<i>Swamiye…</i>

07:21.105 --> 07:23.396
- Sharanam Ayyappa!
- Sharanam Ayyappa!

07:23.605 --> 07:25.688
Sharanam Ayyappa!

07:26.521 --> 07:29.146
<i>- Tie your bundle</i>
<i>- We're bound for Sabarimala</i>

07:29.230 --> 07:31.688
<i>- Stones and thorns</i>
<i>- Feel soft beneath our feet</i>

07:31.771 --> 07:34.230
<i>- Swamiye Sharanam</i>
<i>- Ayyappa Sharanam</i>

07:34.313 --> 07:37.105
<i>- Ayyappa Sharanam</i>
<i>- Swamiye Sharanam</i>

07:37.188 --> 07:39.605
<i>The Mandala vow is fulfilled</i>

07:39.896 --> 07:42.355
<i>Its sacred purpose fills my soul</i>

07:42.730 --> 07:47.813
<i>The holy hills of Sabari call</i>
<i>Come, let us seek Lord Manikanta</i>

07:47.896 --> 07:49.771
<i>Tie it, tie it…</i>

07:50.063 --> 07:52.771
<i>Hey, tie the Irumudi</i>

07:53.230 --> 07:58.646
<i>Tie the Irumudi with faith</i>
<i>And climb the sacred Sabarimala</i>

08:03.521 --> 08:09.230
<i>Tie the Irumudi with faith</i>
<i>And climb the sacred Sabarimala</i>

08:19.855 --> 08:25.188
<i>Swamiye Ayyappo</i>
<i>Ayyappo Swamiye</i>

08:25.271 --> 08:30.605
<i>Swamiye Ayyappo</i>
<i>Ayyappo Swamiye</i>

08:51.855 --> 08:54.521
<i>- A tender coconut we bring</i>
<i>- Ayyappo</i>

08:54.605 --> 08:57.188
<i>- Filled with sacred ghee</i>
<i>- Ayyappo</i>

08:57.271 --> 08:59.896
<i>- Camphor's flame and fragrant prayer</i>
<i>- Ayyappo</i>

08:59.980 --> 09:02.063
<i>- With joyful hearts we tie the Irumudi</i>
<i>- Ayyappo</i>

09:02.146 --> 09:05.188
<i>To carry You is blessing enough</i>
<i>Your grace awakens sacred ecstasy</i>

09:05.271 --> 09:07.855
<i>Raise your voice in praise divine</i>
<i>Come, Kanne Swamy, sing with joy</i>

09:07.938 --> 09:09.980
<i>Tie it, tie it…</i>

09:10.230 --> 09:12.855
<i>Tie the Irumudi</i>

09:13.188 --> 09:18.563
<i>Tie the Irumudi with faith</i>
<i>And climb the sacred Sabarimala</i>

09:23.480 --> 09:29.313
<i>Tie the Irumudi with faith</i>

09:39.938 --> 09:45.188
<i>- Ayyappa Ayyappa</i>
<i>- Lord Ayyappa, our Protector</i>

09:45.271 --> 09:51.188
<i>- Ayyappo Ayyappo</i>
<i>- Our Rescuer, we bow to Thee</i>

09:53.855 --> 09:55.605
Take the fruits.

09:58.021 --> 10:00.521
Your throat must be sore from singing.
Have some hot water, Swamy.

10:01.230 --> 10:06.521
<i>Swamiye Ayyappo</i>
<i>Ayyappo Swamiye</i>

10:06.605 --> 10:09.730
<i>- Swamiye Ayyappo</i>
- Swamy, bye.

10:09.938 --> 10:11.813
<i>- Ayyappo Swamiye</i>
- Swamy, be careful.

10:11.896 --> 10:13.938
<i>- Swamiye Ayyappo</i>
- Swamiye Sharanam…

10:14.021 --> 10:16.355
<i>- Ayyappo Swamiye</i>
- Have a safe trip there and back.

10:16.688 --> 10:21.271
<i>Swamiye Ayyappo</i>
<i>Ayyappo Swamiye</i>

10:21.355 --> 10:23.646

10:25.938 --> 10:27.813

<i>- Swamiye…</i>

10:35.105 --> 10:36.688
<i>Sharanam Ayyappa!</i>

10:38.021 --> 10:41.230
Today is the day our devotees
return from Sabarimalai.

10:41.688 --> 10:43.813
My mom is quite anxious.

10:44.146 --> 10:47.730
Because, my dad
is going to be different from today.

10:47.813 --> 10:51.313
SHIVALAYAM - POLLURU

10:51.688 --> 10:53.813
- Swamy, over here!
- Swamy Sharanam.

10:57.438 --> 11:00.105
- Hey, brother.
- Let's move. Come on.

11:00.396 --> 11:01.813
My tongue's craving a drink, Suri.

11:02.021 --> 11:03.146
It's been a while.

11:04.188 --> 11:07.271
Oh man! It's been ages!

11:07.938 --> 11:10.146
- Suri, why didn't you open it?!
- Here, brother.

11:11.688 --> 11:12.771
It's been a while.

11:19.938 --> 11:21.521
Oh, man!

11:23.688 --> 11:26.146
I feel alive again, man!
It's been 41 days.

11:26.938 --> 11:27.938
- Wow! Give it here!
- Here, brother.

11:30.396 --> 11:31.938
- Did you pay the money?
- Yes.

11:32.021 --> 11:33.771
- Bushan, look over there.
- Yes?

11:35.188 --> 11:37.355
Trinadh has already started drinking.

11:37.438 --> 11:40.021
He'll stay wasted until he takes
the vow again, that drunkard!

11:40.105 --> 11:41.605
He even has Guru Swamy's support.

11:44.855 --> 11:48.105
- Ah, thank god! That's so refreshing!
- You're crazy about drinks.

11:48.355 --> 11:50.563
How do you stay sober
41 days every year?

11:50.730 --> 11:52.021
I do it all for my Manamma.

11:52.438 --> 11:53.980
- Hey, Suri! You carry on!
- Okay, brother.

11:54.271 --> 11:55.480
Hey, meet us near the dam!

11:55.563 --> 11:56.896
- Okay.
- Hey! Where are you going?

11:57.021 --> 11:58.521
- Serve us too.
- Pour it, man!

11:58.605 --> 12:00.230
- Hold on! Have the meat first.
- Pour, pour… pour me one too!

12:01.063 --> 12:04.855
- Guru Swamy, how was the pilgrimage?
- Really well! What's new in the village?

12:05.105 --> 12:06.938
Our village had a massive clash
with Donkarayi.

12:07.021 --> 12:08.646
- Don't you know?
- What happened?

12:13.355 --> 12:14.521
Does Trinadh know about this?

12:14.855 --> 12:18.938
I'll thrash you if you tell your Dad
about the village gossip!

12:20.188 --> 12:21.063
Manamma!

12:22.771 --> 12:25.438
- Dad!
- Come on! Come, come!

12:25.521 --> 12:28.188
My precious girl! My sweetie!

12:30.313 --> 12:32.730
Trinadh, did you get drunk the moment
you got off the bus?

12:32.938 --> 12:33.813
Be honest.

12:33.896 --> 12:36.771
Kaveri, I waited until we reached Polluru,
because I'm a good guy.

12:36.855 --> 12:38.771
The rest of the gang
started drinking in Kerala!

12:40.146 --> 12:41.021
Manamma!

12:41.146 --> 12:42.980
- Be it inside the school,
- Or outside,

12:43.063 --> 12:44.480
- on this side of the village,
- or the other side,

12:44.563 --> 12:46.563
- on this side of the riverbank…
- or across the river…

12:46.646 --> 12:48.688
- whatever you saw,
- must tell Dad!

12:48.771 --> 12:50.771
- Manamma!
- What is it?!

12:51.396 --> 12:54.646
A massive fight broke out between
our village and Donkarayi, Dad.

12:54.730 --> 12:57.313
- Really?
- Trinadh, it's nothing major.

12:57.396 --> 12:59.355
Just a minor scuffle
during the Kabaddi match.

12:59.771 --> 13:00.771
What is this, Guru Swamy?

13:01.063 --> 13:02.771
My daughter says it's a massive fight,

13:02.855 --> 13:05.188
- but you're calling it a minor scuffle.
- I'll deal with you later.

13:07.230 --> 13:08.271
Tell me the events, dear.

13:09.480 --> 13:11.896
Polluru team is leading with 20 points.

13:12.480 --> 13:15.313
- Donkarayi is five points behind!
- Kavya, grab her!

13:15.438 --> 13:16.396
Kabaddi, kabaddi, kabaddi…

13:16.521 --> 13:18.980
- Another point to Polluru!
- Kabaddi, kabaddi, kabaddi…

13:20.855 --> 13:23.313
Have those Donkarayi girls
lost their spirit?

13:23.646 --> 13:26.688
- Both got wiped out at once!
- Will Polluru take the cup this time too?

13:27.730 --> 13:29.021
Where the hell is Nagulu?

13:38.230 --> 13:39.980
FREE DRINKING WATER STATION

13:43.730 --> 13:45.980
Hey, you've played enough.
Get out of here.

13:46.063 --> 13:47.188
Why should we leave?

13:47.605 --> 13:51.105
Hey! Take off her innerwear.
Let's see how she plays then.

13:51.813 --> 13:54.355
Keep pulling! Keep pulling!

13:55.688 --> 13:57.355
Why are you all so spineless?

13:57.563 --> 14:00.063
What? Haven't I told you to leave?

14:00.271 --> 14:02.313
- Come on, play kabaddi with me
- Please let me go.

14:08.605 --> 14:10.313
Go on. Play now, Kabaddi.

14:10.438 --> 14:11.313
Pull it!

14:18.230 --> 14:19.355
- These sons of…
- Trinadh…

14:19.438 --> 14:21.021
- Listen!
- Just wait a couple of days…

14:21.688 --> 14:23.688
It's already too late, Guru Swamy.

14:24.396 --> 14:25.855
Trinadh. No.

14:26.230 --> 14:27.605
Swamy Sharanam.

14:33.396 --> 14:36.980
Mr. Erraji, now that the Polluru girls
are out, the cup is yours!

14:37.105 --> 14:38.771
The cup? What nonsense!

14:39.021 --> 14:41.980
There's old political rivalry
between Polluru and our Donkarayi.

14:42.313 --> 14:45.980
That's why we beat them up
whenever we can.

14:46.438 --> 14:48.730
Besides, our Nagulu
never accepts defeat.

15:06.396 --> 15:07.563
Hey! Hey!

15:07.813 --> 15:08.896
Hey, let go!

15:09.021 --> 15:11.605
- What's that?
- Mr. Erraji! Trinadh is beating up Nagulu!

15:11.688 --> 15:13.230
- Hey!
- Hey!

15:14.063 --> 15:15.396
- Hey, stop him!
- Leave him.

15:15.480 --> 15:17.813
- Somebody stop him.
- Take down the tent, guys!

15:18.021 --> 15:20.230
Don't spare him! Don't leave him!

15:21.480 --> 15:22.771
Finish him off!

15:22.855 --> 15:25.396
Hey! Trinadh is going to die
by my son's hands today!

15:25.480 --> 15:27.438
- Exactly!
- Hey, thrash him!

15:28.271 --> 15:31.771
You dare come to our village
and hit our people, you moron?

15:31.855 --> 15:34.813
Look! Nagulu is right here! Nagulu!

15:37.938 --> 15:40.271
Don't spare him! Kill him!

15:51.855 --> 15:53.771
- Hey!
- Thrash him!

15:54.855 --> 15:55.813
Wipe him out!

15:56.146 --> 15:58.605
You come to my village and hit me?!
You're dead meat!

16:00.438 --> 16:01.480
Get up, guys! Wipe him out!

16:12.355 --> 16:16.396
Hey! Come on, you moron!
Come on! Come.

16:16.480 --> 16:17.355
Hey!

16:20.563 --> 16:23.438
- Hey, Nagulu, get up! Hey!
- Hey! You…

16:24.480 --> 16:25.438
Hey!

16:32.771 --> 16:36.188
Hey, Trinadh! You better let him go
or it won't end well! I'm warning you!

16:36.355 --> 16:39.271
Hey Trinadh! I'm talking to you!
Who do you think you are?!

16:39.480 --> 16:40.688
Hey, let go! Just let go!

16:40.855 --> 16:42.605
I'm begging you, please let him go!

16:45.021 --> 16:46.771
Trinadh, please… let him go!

16:47.313 --> 16:49.980
- Trinadh! Come on, please!
- Take off your shirt!

16:50.105 --> 16:51.563
- Take it off!
- Take off your shirt!

16:51.730 --> 16:52.688
- Take it off!
- Take it off!

16:53.688 --> 16:56.355
- And pants! Take off your pants!
- Hey, take them off, son!

16:58.271 --> 17:01.896
You pay men to strip women,
you son of a gun?

17:02.021 --> 17:03.688
- Take them off! Strip!
- Take them off, son!

17:05.438 --> 17:08.521
Erraji, I have a weakness.

17:08.730 --> 17:13.146
A rare weakness
where I see my daughter in every girl.

17:14.230 --> 17:15.355
Don't mess with that.

17:16.313 --> 17:17.605
Hey, Nagulu!

17:17.688 --> 17:20.521
If you touch any Polluru girl again

17:20.771 --> 17:22.813
I'll burn you alive
and feed you to the vultures!

17:23.063 --> 17:24.855
- Filthy idiot!
- Trinadh, let him go.

17:25.980 --> 17:27.355
Swamy Sharanam.

17:29.063 --> 17:30.021
I'll kill him.

17:38.271 --> 17:41.980
- What is this? How long should I wait?
- He'll be here in 10 minutes.

17:42.105 --> 17:43.938
Will you load the banana bunches
or should I buy elsewhere?

17:44.105 --> 17:45.646
My husband is sentimental.

17:45.813 --> 17:48.730
He wants our daughter to harvest
the first bunch of our first crop.

17:48.813 --> 17:49.730
Ten more minutes.

17:49.896 --> 17:52.480
Hey Suri! Where is this
father and daughter duo?

17:56.730 --> 17:58.896
Darling! Can you smell anything?

17:59.271 --> 18:00.396
No, right? Come on.

18:00.563 --> 18:03.605
MANDAL PARISHAD PRIMARY SCHOOL

18:04.771 --> 18:05.896
Hold on! Stop!

18:06.730 --> 18:09.813
Why did you tell Manikanta
not to come to school, Master?

18:09.896 --> 18:12.230
I told her, "You can't do math
without multiplication tables!"

18:12.313 --> 18:15.021
She asks, "If I already know the math,
why do I need the tables, Master?"

18:15.355 --> 18:17.230
I just told her it was wrong. Was I wrong?

18:17.605 --> 18:19.188
That's not how he said it, Dad.

18:19.521 --> 18:24.521
With wide, terrified eyes,
he yelled that he'd skin me alive.

18:24.730 --> 18:27.063
Is that the way to talk to a child, sir?
It's not right.

18:27.188 --> 18:30.271
If she isn't picking it up, you should
explain it to her patiently, gently.

18:30.688 --> 18:32.688
You dare threaten to skin
my daughter alive?

18:34.021 --> 18:36.938
I'm sparing you because you're a teacher
who shapes young minds.

18:37.146 --> 18:38.771
Okay? Get off your vehicle.

18:40.855 --> 18:44.688
Sweetheart, bow to your teacher
and say he's forgiven.

18:48.188 --> 18:49.188
You're forgiven!

18:49.438 --> 18:51.730
- Is this how you forgive someone?
- That's the Polluru way!

18:51.813 --> 18:54.021
Come, darling. You can leave now.

18:57.313 --> 18:58.938
- Manamma!
- That's my girl!

19:00.313 --> 19:01.855
- Wow!
- Kaveri!

19:02.021 --> 19:03.521
- They started already?
- Why the delay?

19:03.605 --> 19:04.855
We've been waiting!

19:05.230 --> 19:06.730
- Kaveri! Are we late?
- Gayatri!

19:06.813 --> 19:09.355
No, Lakshmamma. He's been drinking
too much again, Guru Swamy.

19:09.438 --> 19:11.146
- Who, me?
- Then who else? Me?

19:11.230 --> 19:13.980
Did I touch even a single drop
of alcohol during my 41 days of vow?

19:14.063 --> 19:15.438
You should appreciate it.
Why are you saying all that?

19:15.521 --> 19:17.855
Those 41 days of your vow
are the only time I get peace.

19:18.313 --> 19:21.105
- Lakshmamma, won't you warn him?
- Stop drinking, son.

19:21.355 --> 19:23.771
Hey Suri, give that
first harvest bunch to Guru Swamy.

19:23.855 --> 19:24.938
- Yes, on it.
- Why do I need it now?

19:25.021 --> 19:25.938
What do you mean, Guru Swamy?

19:26.021 --> 19:27.105
- We keep the first harvest.
- Suri!

19:27.188 --> 19:28.063
And you get the first bunch.

19:28.146 --> 19:29.771
- Teach me cycling…
- Isn't it, Swamy?

19:29.938 --> 19:31.313
- Sure. I will.
- Swamy Sharanam!

19:31.938 --> 19:34.021
Guru Swamy, today's
our wedding anniversary.

19:34.813 --> 19:35.688
Come.

19:36.438 --> 19:37.730
May you live a long life.

19:37.980 --> 19:40.313
Hey Trinadh, she looks upset, man.

19:40.521 --> 19:43.063
Once you unload in Sileru,
come home sober.

19:43.313 --> 19:45.521
- Understand? We take your leave.
- We'll leave now, dear.

19:45.896 --> 19:47.813
Mani, it's time for school. I'll leave.

19:47.896 --> 19:51.271
Sister, Dad and I are going
to Sileru for a movie this Sunday.

19:51.355 --> 19:52.230
Want to come along?

19:52.605 --> 19:54.730
My dad won't agree, dear. Another time.

19:54.813 --> 19:56.605
- Let's go, dear.
- You always find an excuse, sister.

19:56.813 --> 19:58.813
- Stay safe, Gayatri.
- Bye, dear.

19:58.896 --> 19:59.855
Okay, uncle!

20:00.646 --> 20:01.521
Bye, sister.

20:01.605 --> 20:03.521
- Bye.
- Kaveri, is today our wedding anniversary?

20:03.646 --> 20:04.563
Why didn't you tell me?!

20:04.646 --> 20:07.271
- You never gave me the chance!
- I'll come home sober today.

20:09.646 --> 20:11.480
- I don't believe you.
- I promise I will!

20:11.563 --> 20:13.021
Instead of that dreadful nighty,

20:13.105 --> 20:16.938
dress up in my favorite green saree
and mustard-yellow blouse.

20:33.271 --> 20:34.438
Go! Go get it!

20:44.730 --> 20:46.730
<i>Yalaalo, Yalaalo!</i>

20:46.813 --> 20:48.688
<i>Moonlit nights and endless stories!</i>

20:48.771 --> 20:50.605
- Trinadh!
- Look around. Where could she have put it?

20:50.688 --> 20:52.021
- I don't know.
- No…

20:52.105 --> 20:55.480
<i>- Courtyards packed with quiet secrets</i>
- It's Saturday, Trinadh. Don't drink!

20:56.063 --> 20:58.605
<i>- Secrets kept from Mother's eyes</i>
- Trinadh! Listen!

20:58.688 --> 21:01.021
- Where, Dad?
- It's not here. Look over there.

21:01.396 --> 21:03.146
<i>- Let the world witness</i>
- Unlock the door.

21:03.230 --> 21:05.313
- Dad!
<i>- Where pure love resides!</i>

21:05.396 --> 21:06.813
Trinadh, I said no! Don't drink!

21:06.896 --> 21:09.355
<i>- Bound to the mountains</i>
- I said, Open the door.

21:09.438 --> 21:11.855
<i>- The forest is our home</i>
- Will you never change?

21:12.021 --> 21:14.605
<i>- Poverty can't touch our souls</i>
- What happened to you? Wait…

21:14.688 --> 21:16.313
<i>- Our world lives within us!</i>
- Kaveri, don't put him in the water.

21:16.396 --> 21:18.188
- He'll get a fever.
<i>- Yala, yaalo!</i>

21:18.271 --> 21:23.521
<i>Yaalo, what's in grand mansions?</i>
<i>Yaalo, what's in piles of gold?</i>

21:23.605 --> 21:26.688
<i>- True love fills our hearts</i>
- Dad!

21:27.021 --> 21:29.146
<i>Like wild streams in fields untold!</i>

21:29.230 --> 21:31.563
<i>Centuries will pass us by</i>

21:31.688 --> 21:34.230
<i>We have all the world can hold!</i>

21:34.313 --> 21:38.063
- Hey!
<i>- What else do we need?</i>

21:58.771 --> 22:01.855
The drunk who beats his wife every day?
That's him, Dad.

22:03.355 --> 22:06.313
How dare you hit your wife?

22:06.396 --> 22:07.313
I'll kill you!

22:09.230 --> 22:13.605
<i>A childhood rocked in a gentle cradle</i>

22:14.521 --> 22:19.730
<i>Bringing centuries of celebration!</i>

22:19.813 --> 22:24.313
<i>Life dances like a joyful game</i>

22:24.813 --> 22:26.563
- I said no, right?
<i>- If you're ready</i>

22:26.646 --> 22:29.146
- Who are you guys?
<i>- It grants a blessing</i>

22:29.230 --> 22:30.563
<i>- A blessing every hour!</i>
- What village are you from?

22:30.646 --> 22:35.355
<i>Shielding you like a protective eyelid</i>

22:35.438 --> 22:41.188
<i>Would this soul ever part</i>
<i>Even for a blink?</i>

22:41.271 --> 22:46.021
<i>Our time on this earth is brief</i>

22:46.146 --> 22:51.396
<i>Yet the bond of love endures forever!</i>

22:51.480 --> 22:53.230
<i>Yala, yaalo!</i>

22:53.313 --> 22:58.480
<i>Yaalo, what's in grand mansions?</i>
<i>Yaalo, what's in piles of gold?</i>

22:58.563 --> 23:01.813
<i>True love fills our hearts</i>

23:02.105 --> 23:06.438
<i>Like wild streams in fields untold!</i>
<i>Centuries will pass us by</i>

23:06.563 --> 23:13.105
<i>We have all the world can hold!</i>
<i>What else do we need?</i>

23:15.480 --> 23:16.646
SWAMIYE SHARANAM AYYAPPA

23:16.730 --> 23:17.646
MANIKANTA

23:18.563 --> 23:19.771
What are you looking at?
Go move them.

23:36.730 --> 23:37.688
Are you drunk?

23:37.980 --> 23:39.938
- Get lost.
- Come on. Sit down.

23:48.105 --> 23:48.980
Dad, one more.

23:49.063 --> 23:50.438
- Hey, how many glasses will you drink?
- Why object to everything? Let her drink.

23:50.521 --> 23:52.230
- She'll get a cold and cough.
<i>- Yalaalo, Yalaalo!</i>

23:52.313 --> 23:55.438
<i>Moonlit nights and endless stories!</i>

23:55.771 --> 24:00.855
<i>Yalaalo, Yalaalo!</i>
<i>Courtyards packed with quiet secrets!</i>

24:01.688 --> 24:04.271
<i>- Secrets kept from Mother's eyes</i>
- Hey, pick any one.

24:04.355 --> 24:06.605
<i>Royalty in Father's stride</i>

24:06.938 --> 24:11.646
<i>Let the world witness</i>
<i>Where pure love resides!</i>

24:12.355 --> 24:17.271
<i>Bound to the mountains</i>
<i>The forest is our home</i>

24:17.563 --> 24:21.980
<i>Poverty can't touch our souls</i>
<i>Our world lives within us!</i>

24:22.063 --> 24:23.355
<i>Yala, yaalo!</i>

24:23.438 --> 24:25.271
- Manamma, look over here.
- It's super!

24:26.730 --> 24:29.230
- Sister, you take one too.
- Gayatri, Take it, dear!

24:29.313 --> 24:32.396
<i>- True love fills our hearts</i>
- Give me that one.

24:32.771 --> 24:34.646
- Gayatri!
<i>- Like wild streams in fields untold!</i>

24:34.730 --> 24:37.063
<i>- Centuries will pass us by</i>
- Buy a chudidar, dear.

24:37.146 --> 24:39.938
<i>We have all the world can hold!</i>

24:40.063 --> 24:43.688
Dad! Late today too?
I won't talk to you, go away!

24:44.896 --> 24:46.605
I'm coming, Manamma. I'm coming.

24:55.980 --> 24:57.021
One more bite, dear.

24:57.855 --> 24:58.813
That's it!

25:00.230 --> 25:02.480
Are you listening, Dad?

25:11.688 --> 25:14.521
Hey, did you remove the dead hens?

25:14.646 --> 25:16.438
- Yes, I did, sir.
- Come here.

25:22.938 --> 25:25.021
- Where are the other boys?
- They'll come tomorrow, sir!

25:25.105 --> 25:26.605
Taking leave just 10 days into the job?

25:27.105 --> 25:28.980
Here's the pay.
Tell them to work from tomorrow!

25:29.063 --> 25:29.938
Will do, sir!

25:51.855 --> 25:53.605
This guy is getting out of hand, man.

25:54.271 --> 25:55.938
We must find him a girl urgently.

26:03.438 --> 26:06.313
Brother! The bus is here.

26:07.396 --> 26:09.188
- How was the exam, sister?
- I did well.

26:10.396 --> 26:13.646
Sowji, you wanted my books
after my tenth grade exams, right?

26:13.730 --> 26:14.605
Yes, sister.

26:16.146 --> 26:17.355
- Take them.
- Thank you, sister.

26:17.438 --> 26:19.646
- Which college are you joining, sister?
- I'm not joining college.

26:19.730 --> 26:21.771
- I'll get married and move away.
- Marriage?!

26:26.188 --> 26:29.313
SILERU - DONKARAYI

26:29.396 --> 26:31.605
PALLE VELUGU

26:32.771 --> 26:34.355
All of you must attend
the wedding, Gayatri!

26:34.438 --> 26:36.521
- Will do, sister. Who's the groom?
- My brother-in-law!

26:36.605 --> 26:37.480
What about your studies?

26:37.563 --> 26:39.563
I'll study after the wedding.
What's wrong with that?

26:39.646 --> 26:41.063
The cycle has a flat tire.

26:44.896 --> 26:46.730
Did you guys deflate the cycle tires?

26:49.688 --> 26:52.563
If you do this again,
I'll tell our village elders!

26:54.355 --> 26:55.313
Do you like her?

26:55.813 --> 26:58.230
Hey, what are you talking about?

26:59.063 --> 27:00.521
Are you guys brainless?

27:04.230 --> 27:06.188
- Sister! Don't fight.
- Let it go, sister.

27:06.396 --> 27:08.188
- We're going.
- Okay, then. Take care.

27:21.771 --> 27:22.646
POLLURU

27:22.730 --> 27:24.105
I wonder when we'll get a bus
to our village.

27:24.896 --> 27:26.688
Why are Gayatri and the others
pushing their cycles?

27:27.605 --> 27:28.480
Dad!

27:30.563 --> 27:32.938
We can't get down
at the Donkarayi bus stop, Dad.

27:33.146 --> 27:35.355
All those good-for-nothings
are hanging around there.

27:35.521 --> 27:38.646
They deflate our cycle tires,
then follow and harass us.

27:45.355 --> 27:49.105
Trinadh is coming.
He beat up Erraji's son yesterday.

27:49.438 --> 27:51.730
There will be another huge fight
if he finds out.

27:51.813 --> 27:53.480
- Look here, Gayatri!
- Yes, Dad.

27:53.563 --> 27:55.271
Don't tell Trinadh about this.

27:58.021 --> 27:59.063
Where are you going, Trinadh?

28:01.230 --> 28:03.855
Manamma wanted to eat chili fritters,
so we're going to Donkarayi.

28:04.313 --> 28:05.646
Why? Aren't ours fritters?

28:05.855 --> 28:08.021
Fritters are fried
in cooking oil, not engine oil.

28:08.271 --> 28:09.771
Want to eat them, Manamma?

28:10.605 --> 28:11.771
That's how your food is.

28:12.313 --> 28:13.188
Why, Trinadh?

28:13.355 --> 28:15.521
You take your daughter so far
just for fritters…

28:15.688 --> 28:17.313
why can't you send her to high school?

28:17.396 --> 28:19.355
For my daughter
to attend senior high school,

28:19.438 --> 28:21.980
we need a bus to our village…
or a school here.

28:22.063 --> 28:24.771
She shouldn't have to struggle
cycling on that gravel road.

28:33.230 --> 28:35.021
The tires are flat. What happened, dear?

28:36.063 --> 28:38.063
Hey! It's nothing, man.

28:38.396 --> 28:40.980
It's summer, right?
The heat made the tubes go flat.

28:41.438 --> 28:43.730
- How did it happen to all three cycles?
- Yeah.

28:44.646 --> 28:46.021
Your daughter is very smart, man.

28:46.730 --> 28:48.896
Once my daughter thinks of a question,

28:48.980 --> 28:50.813
she won't stop until she finds the answer.

28:52.480 --> 28:55.105
- Okay, it's from the heat, right?
- That's it, uncle.

28:55.188 --> 28:56.855
- That's it? Nothing else?
- Yes.

28:57.063 --> 28:58.021
Okay. Let's go, dear.

28:58.146 --> 28:59.021
Okay.

29:01.563 --> 29:02.563
Bye.

29:03.896 --> 29:06.438
BHUSHAN TIFFIN CENTER

29:06.521 --> 29:07.480
You girls go on.

29:12.855 --> 29:15.146
The girls in our village
are facing a lot of trouble, Guru Swamy.

29:15.521 --> 29:18.188
If you talk to MLA Bujji,
we might find a solution.

29:20.230 --> 29:22.188
- Long live…
- MLA Bujji sir!

29:22.271 --> 29:23.813
- Greetings!
- The MLA is here.

29:23.896 --> 29:25.230
Guru Swamy! The MLA is here.

29:25.313 --> 29:26.396
Happy birthday, sir.

29:26.480 --> 29:27.938
- Happy birthday, sir.
- Thank you. Thank you.

29:28.188 --> 29:29.063
MLA sir.

29:29.896 --> 29:30.938
Thank you.

29:31.021 --> 29:33.021
- Mr. Guru Swamy!
- Greetings, sir.

29:33.688 --> 29:35.146
- How are you?
- I'm good.

29:35.480 --> 29:37.146
- May you have a long life!
- Thank you.

29:37.813 --> 29:41.021
Your blessings on my birthday.
I will win the next election too!

29:41.271 --> 29:42.688
- Swamy Sharanam!
- Mr. Bujji…

29:43.480 --> 29:45.271
I need to discuss something important.

29:48.188 --> 29:49.063
Take it.

29:51.563 --> 29:53.688
Mr. Bujji, as you already know…

29:53.938 --> 29:56.605
Polluru only has an elementary school.

29:56.938 --> 29:59.771
To attend high school, the kids
have to come all the way to Sileru.

30:00.396 --> 30:02.021
And the bus only goes up to Donkarayi.

30:02.355 --> 30:07.438
Then, the girls struggle,
pedaling four kilometers on a dirt road.

30:07.521 --> 30:10.646
I tried hard to sanction a high school
to your village, Guru Swamy.

30:11.521 --> 30:13.021
I can't do it alone, right?

30:14.771 --> 30:18.438
But we can do one thing.
I'll ensure the bus runs to your village.

30:19.938 --> 30:22.771
- What say, Madhu? We can do it, right?
- Yes sir. We can.

30:24.896 --> 30:26.563
- Are you happy?
- Yes.

30:27.230 --> 30:28.105
Are you happy?

30:28.188 --> 30:29.355
- We're happy, sir.
- Yes, sir.

30:31.063 --> 30:33.396
You also mentioned repainting
the Ayyappa Temple, right?

30:33.605 --> 30:35.855
We'll paint it once <i>Karthika</i> month starts.

30:36.230 --> 30:37.313
- Madhu?
- Sir!

30:40.313 --> 30:41.646
- Have this.
- It's alright, Mr. Bujji.

30:41.730 --> 30:44.105
Don't delay God's work. Please.

30:44.730 --> 30:47.188
- Swamiye Sharanam Ayyappa.
- Sharanam Ayyappa.

30:50.646 --> 30:53.021
- Kaveri, check over there.
- Suri's handling it.

30:53.688 --> 30:56.313
The food is excellent.
What's the special occasion?

30:56.563 --> 30:57.605
- You from the next village?
- Yeah.

30:57.688 --> 31:00.146
- Our daughter has graduated
- Engineering? Medicine?

31:00.396 --> 31:02.188
- Fifth grade. Have it.
- Huh?

31:03.688 --> 31:05.105
HEARTFELT CONGRATULATIONS TO MY
DEAR MANIKANTA ON PASSING THE 5TH GRADE!

31:05.813 --> 31:06.896
Enough, enough.

31:07.271 --> 31:09.146
Girls must eat well. Eat up.

31:11.646 --> 31:13.605
- Shall I serve you some sambar, Master?
- That's enough, dear.

31:13.688 --> 31:15.730
- Enough, enough.
- Please eat, Master.

31:15.813 --> 31:17.688
- There he is.
- What is it, man? Eat.

31:17.980 --> 31:19.063
Is there nothing for us?

31:19.188 --> 31:20.896
Oh boy! Got it.

31:21.813 --> 31:24.063
- Go on. Come back soon.
- Let's go.

31:25.730 --> 31:28.146
- Kaveri!
- Lakshmamma, please come.

31:28.271 --> 31:29.480
Hey, why are you late?

31:29.771 --> 31:32.188
- What's all this, dear?
- Ask him.

31:32.771 --> 31:34.980
My little girl passed fifth grade.
Look over there.

31:35.188 --> 31:37.688
- Wow! It's a very big deal, man.
- Yeah!

31:37.771 --> 31:41.021
- Come!
- If you throw a feast for every result,

31:41.105 --> 31:44.271
- you'll have to sell your last two acres.
- It's my daughter, my wish.

31:45.146 --> 31:46.896
Please sit, Guru Swamy.
I will serve you food.

31:46.980 --> 31:48.355
- Come, dear.
- Greetings, Guru Swamy.

31:49.730 --> 31:52.313
- Come here for a second.
- What is it, man?

31:53.938 --> 31:56.688
- No, man. It won't look good.
- Only two pegs. Come on.

31:57.396 --> 31:58.271
Hey!

31:59.313 --> 32:00.188
Cheers!

32:13.021 --> 32:13.896
Trinadh?

32:15.188 --> 32:17.355
Why are you so crazy
about your daughter?

32:18.188 --> 32:19.480
Do you remember, Guru Swamy?

32:19.730 --> 32:23.188
Kaveri married a rough guy
like me, defying her family.

32:23.688 --> 32:26.605
When we didn't have kids
four years after marriage,

32:26.771 --> 32:28.563
she faced so many insults…

32:29.480 --> 32:32.730
but she never once complained
or showed her pain to me.

32:34.313 --> 32:37.605
Moreover, if anyone said anything
against me regarding that,

32:37.688 --> 32:38.980
she'd get fiercely defensive.

32:39.938 --> 32:40.980
But Swamy…

32:42.188 --> 32:45.313
Whenever I saw the pain
of childlessness in her eyes…

32:47.688 --> 32:49.605
it felt like a needle
piercing my heart, Swamy.

32:51.688 --> 32:53.188
Then, you advised me.

32:53.938 --> 32:56.021
That taking the Swamy vow
would fulfill my wishes.

32:56.521 --> 32:59.271
I went to Sabarimala
and prayed to the Lord.

32:59.646 --> 33:01.355
My precious daughter was born.

33:01.688 --> 33:03.021
Swamy Sharanam!

33:03.896 --> 33:06.730
Believing that Lord Ayyappa himself
was born as my daughter…

33:07.188 --> 33:08.896
I named her Manikanta.

33:11.105 --> 33:14.896
Whatever I do for her
is like serving God, Swamy.

33:14.980 --> 33:18.771
A girl isn't to be kept at home
like God in a temple.

33:18.855 --> 33:21.813
We must send her to school and college.

33:22.105 --> 33:23.730
And later, to another house.

33:24.271 --> 33:25.521
Send her where?

33:25.980 --> 33:28.605
If I have to, I'll make her
repeat fifth grade here.

33:29.730 --> 33:32.646
Hey! Turn this way. Turn!

33:33.980 --> 33:35.313
We finally got a bus to Polluru!

33:37.146 --> 33:38.813
The MLA promised me yesterday.

33:39.480 --> 33:42.105
Our girls don't have to ride
bicycles anymore.

33:42.230 --> 33:43.188
They can take the bus.

33:44.146 --> 33:46.063
The bus issue is finally sorted.

33:46.605 --> 33:48.563
Hey, what's wrong?

33:48.771 --> 33:50.646
Your daughter
will take the bus to school.

33:51.938 --> 33:54.105
- Agree to it.
- Just agree, man!

33:54.521 --> 33:55.730
Say yes, Trinadh.

33:56.605 --> 33:57.563
Just say yes.

34:27.313 --> 34:31.063
Sir! Sir! Sir! A body! A dead body!

34:31.396 --> 34:33.355
Oh, Anusha… my dear…

34:34.271 --> 34:36.063
A dead body, first thing in the morning.

34:36.146 --> 34:37.105
What rotten luck!

34:37.980 --> 34:39.605
I heard she drank pesticide.

34:41.980 --> 34:43.146
Oh, dear!

34:53.271 --> 34:56.771
Didn't I tell you that you could study
after getting married?

34:56.855 --> 34:58.188
It can't be that.

34:58.521 --> 35:00.021
She must've been in love with someone.

35:00.230 --> 35:02.980
When they arranged her marriage,
she drank pesticide and died.

35:03.938 --> 35:05.396
Anusha wasn't like that.

35:05.730 --> 35:07.813
- She was a very good student.
- Oh!

35:07.938 --> 35:10.438
Why would she tell you?
It's young blood!

35:10.813 --> 35:11.813
Come on.

35:12.563 --> 35:13.521
Hey, move aside.

35:13.938 --> 35:16.688
Mr. Erraji, I hope Nagulu
isn't involved in this.

35:16.771 --> 35:19.771
Shut your mouth, you scoundrel.
It's been months since I last saw him.

35:19.938 --> 35:22.813
After Trinadh humiliated him,
I don't even know where he ran off to.

35:27.896 --> 35:31.355
Why should we even go on living?

35:32.771 --> 35:35.938
Anusha, you left us…

35:36.021 --> 35:37.230
My child!

35:40.730 --> 35:42.938
How are we supposed to live without you?

35:43.730 --> 35:45.813
TWO MONTHS LATER

35:49.605 --> 35:52.938
- Guru Swamy? Are you happy now?
- Very happy, Mr. Bujji.

35:54.063 --> 35:55.438
You should all study hard

35:55.521 --> 35:57.355
- and achieve great things.
- Okay, sir!

35:57.438 --> 35:59.230
- We must educate our girls.
- Okay, sir!

35:59.313 --> 36:02.313
You're in high school now.
If you misbehave, they'll throw you out.

36:02.855 --> 36:06.313
- Hey, why all this now?
- Don't start now.

36:06.563 --> 36:09.188
Manamma, this is the first time
you're traveling so far without me.

36:09.271 --> 36:12.855
- Don't worry.
- You're worried, aren't you?

36:13.813 --> 36:14.688
Alright.

36:14.938 --> 36:16.730
- Inside the school…
- Or outside

36:16.813 --> 36:18.355
- inside the village…
- or outside

36:18.438 --> 36:19.938
- This side of the river…
- or the other.

36:20.021 --> 36:21.855
- Whatever you see…
- tell Dad exactly as it is.

36:21.938 --> 36:23.146
My darling.

36:23.355 --> 36:26.313
- Hey, Trinadh. Hurry up!
- Yeah, yeah, we're coming.

36:26.521 --> 36:27.480
Here, take this.

36:28.813 --> 36:29.855
Sit with Gayatri.

36:29.938 --> 36:31.480
- Alright, bye, Mom!
- Manamma, take care!

36:32.271 --> 36:33.355
Sit with your sister and hold her hand.

36:33.438 --> 36:34.396
- Alright, Dad!
- Dear, Gayatri!

36:34.480 --> 36:35.355
- Take care of her.
- Behave yourself.

36:35.438 --> 36:36.521
- I'll take care of her, Uncle.
- Okay.

36:36.688 --> 36:38.896
Manamma, don't worry.
Gayatri is with you.

36:38.980 --> 36:41.021
- Manamma, finish your lunch on time,
- Uncle, bye.

36:41.105 --> 36:42.313
- or you'll feel weak.
- Alright, Dad.

36:42.396 --> 36:43.855
Take care, dear.

36:43.938 --> 36:45.438
- Bye, Dad!
- Bye, uncle!

36:48.230 --> 36:49.563
- I'll get going, Guru Swamy.
- Hey, Trinadh…

36:49.646 --> 36:51.188
- Mr. Bujji.
- Greetings, sir.

36:51.271 --> 36:53.813
This is Trinadh.
He sings Ayyappa songs really well.

36:54.646 --> 36:56.688
Is it? I'll listen to his songs next time.

36:56.980 --> 36:59.063
- Suri, hurry up! Bring the bananas.
- Okay.

36:59.313 --> 37:00.188
Come!

37:01.188 --> 37:05.896
If I see God in someone,
I offer them a sacred bunch of bananas.

37:06.021 --> 37:08.355
Why are you making me out to be God?

37:08.980 --> 37:10.771
Better be careful with Lord.

37:10.896 --> 37:12.521
<i>- Swamiye Sharanam Ayyappa.</i>
<i>- Swamy Sharanam</i>

37:13.021 --> 37:15.105
- Hey, put it in the trunk.
- I'll get going, Mr. Guru Swamy.

37:15.188 --> 37:17.230
- In the trunk.
- Let's go.

37:20.688 --> 37:22.938
Sister, this is so beautiful.

37:23.605 --> 37:25.021
I like it.

37:26.063 --> 37:27.938
- I really like it.
- Is it?

37:30.105 --> 37:34.021
Mani, it's time for class now.
Your classroom is right there.

37:34.105 --> 37:37.313
- I'll meet you at lunch, okay?
- Okay! Bye, sister!

37:37.438 --> 37:38.605
- Bye!
- Bye!

37:43.605 --> 37:45.771
- Did you see her today? Really?
- Yes.

37:53.021 --> 37:57.563
Did you think you could have fun
while I was suspended?

37:59.146 --> 38:02.730
No one can force me out of here.

38:03.521 --> 38:04.521
Sit down.

38:06.938 --> 38:11.146
Congratulations in advance
on entering 10th grade.

38:11.980 --> 38:13.438
Based on your 9th grade marks,

38:13.521 --> 38:16.438
I've selected the students
I want to see as 10th grade toppers

38:16.980 --> 38:18.563
for special class.

38:20.396 --> 38:21.646
Sowjanya…

38:24.855 --> 38:25.938
Gayatri…

38:28.813 --> 38:29.688
Good!

38:31.646 --> 38:34.271
I have high hopes for all of you.

38:36.771 --> 38:38.188
If you don't study hard

38:39.105 --> 38:41.938
you know what happens, right?

38:49.896 --> 38:50.938
Ma'am! Ma'am!

38:53.105 --> 38:56.771
Ma'am, if we stay for the special class…

38:56.896 --> 38:58.771
we'll miss the Polluru bus.

38:59.230 --> 39:00.271
Don't you want to study?

39:00.896 --> 39:02.063
It's not like that, ma'am.

39:02.188 --> 39:03.771
- Babu…
- Yes madam!

39:05.605 --> 39:08.105
Drop her home after special class.

39:08.896 --> 39:09.771
Okay madam.

39:14.021 --> 39:16.813
Don't worry. I'll drop you home.

39:20.771 --> 39:25.021
<i>I can't lie to the mirror</i>
<i>Staring back at me</i>

39:25.271 --> 39:28.521
- Sister, please sing.
- Manikanta, don't pull me.

39:29.313 --> 39:30.188
Why?

39:30.521 --> 39:32.188
- Periods.
- What is that?

39:32.688 --> 39:35.021
You'll understand when you hit puberty.

39:35.480 --> 39:37.646
Puberty? What does it mean?

39:38.438 --> 39:41.063
Want me to explain it, baby girl?

39:43.813 --> 39:44.938
Hey, wait!

39:46.980 --> 39:49.480
Look at this flower…

39:49.563 --> 39:51.188
- The same way, you too…
- Hey!

39:51.730 --> 39:54.105
- I'll tell everyone!
- Hey, who will you tell?

39:54.730 --> 39:56.105
Your friend died, right?

39:56.855 --> 39:58.188
She was a looker!

39:58.480 --> 40:00.021
Poor thing died
before experiencing anything.

40:00.938 --> 40:02.855
You don't end up like her, okay?

40:03.980 --> 40:06.063
He's my younger brother.

40:07.188 --> 40:08.646
He likes you a lot.

40:10.521 --> 40:11.438
Give it to her.

40:12.605 --> 40:13.938
- Take it!
- Take it!

40:16.230 --> 40:18.605
- Take it, sister.
- Huh?

40:19.230 --> 40:20.563
Sister, just take it!

40:25.063 --> 40:26.980
Say "yes" to him tomorrow. Okay?

40:28.063 --> 40:28.980
Let's go.

40:36.855 --> 40:37.855
Sister?

40:38.813 --> 40:40.188
Don't cry, sister.

40:41.896 --> 40:42.771
Dad!

40:43.521 --> 40:44.480
Dad!

40:46.688 --> 40:50.063
These idiots are everywhere, Dad!

40:51.563 --> 40:52.480
What happened, dear?

40:52.938 --> 40:55.355
They were at the bus stop
the other day, and on the bus today.

40:55.688 --> 40:57.146
They said such awful things, Dad.

40:57.896 --> 40:59.605
Swear words I can't even repeat.

41:00.396 --> 41:01.771
Don't spare them, Dad.

41:01.938 --> 41:04.021
Let's go file
a police complaint against them.

41:04.771 --> 41:05.938
Police station?!

41:09.188 --> 41:12.771
A complaint will turn this matter
into village gossip, dear!

41:14.896 --> 41:17.813
Once you grow up, the safety
of home won't exist outside, dear.

41:18.355 --> 41:20.855
Instead of speaking up
and making things worse,

41:21.855 --> 41:25.688
if you stay quiet for a while,
it'll blow over soon.

41:26.688 --> 41:29.355
Should we keep quiet out of fear, Dad?

41:31.521 --> 41:32.521
Try to understand, dear.

41:33.271 --> 41:36.688
For a girl's future,
fear is her greatest protection.

41:38.146 --> 41:39.730
- Manamma!
- Yes?

41:40.230 --> 41:41.855
From the time you got on the school bus

41:42.313 --> 41:45.480
until you got back home,
tell dad everything that's happened.

41:46.438 --> 41:48.271
Manamma! Go to sleep.

41:48.896 --> 41:51.730
- The new school is very nice.
- Good!

41:52.355 --> 41:55.646
- I've made friends with everyone.
- That's good.

41:56.230 --> 41:58.771
But on the bus ride back…

42:08.980 --> 42:10.146
What happened, dear?

42:17.313 --> 42:20.521
Very sad. Gayatri sister cried a lot.

42:20.938 --> 42:21.938
What do they look like?

42:23.605 --> 42:28.605
One has cat-like eyes,
another has a cut on his nose,

42:28.980 --> 42:32.938
one has buck teeth,
and another one looks strange, Dad.

42:33.438 --> 42:35.980
Kaveri, sleep with our little girl
until I come back.

42:36.480 --> 42:39.646
No, Trinadh. We don't know
who they are. Listen to me! Trinadh!

42:42.438 --> 42:43.605
<i>Swamy Sharanam.</i>

42:44.896 --> 42:47.646
- Hey Suri! Who are these guys?
- They're not locals, brother.

42:48.146 --> 42:52.313
They've been around these forests lately.
They're high on weed all day.

42:52.605 --> 42:54.938
People are afraid to use
this road because of them.

42:56.688 --> 42:57.688
Brother, here.

43:06.021 --> 43:07.021
Right there, brother.

43:42.980 --> 43:45.605
Hey Suri. What happened?

43:46.271 --> 43:49.521
Get up! Come on, get up!
Tell me what happened!

43:55.271 --> 43:56.146
Hey!

44:08.021 --> 44:09.313
- Grab him!
- Hey!

44:19.480 --> 44:24.105
One has cat-like eyes,
another has a cut on his nose,

44:26.188 --> 44:30.896
one has buck teeth,
and another one looks strange, Dad.

44:31.521 --> 44:32.438
Hey!

45:14.813 --> 45:15.688
Hey!

45:16.938 --> 45:17.938
Oh God!

45:43.813 --> 45:46.480
Who the hell are you?
Where are you from?

45:47.021 --> 45:48.688
You idiots, where did you come from?

45:48.980 --> 45:52.188
What the heck
are you doing here, you idiots?

45:54.146 --> 45:56.230
Do you know
who you harassed on the bus?

45:56.980 --> 45:59.313
They are my daughters, you morons!

46:00.730 --> 46:01.771
Hey!

46:02.813 --> 46:04.605
I have a weakness.

46:09.480 --> 46:11.230
<i>Swamy Sharanam.</i>

46:13.438 --> 46:14.355
Let's go.

46:17.063 --> 46:20.271
I sent the entire load yesterday,
Mr. Satyanarayana. Don't worry.

46:21.063 --> 46:24.188
Okay! Okay! For sure. Bye.

46:25.230 --> 46:26.605
- Hey, Trinadh!
- Come in, Guru Swamy.

46:26.688 --> 46:28.146
- Gayatri, sit down.
- Come in, Guru Swamy.

46:28.271 --> 46:30.021
Did you thrash those boys
in Donkarayi forest?

46:31.271 --> 46:34.021
Do you even know
how dangerous they are?

46:36.896 --> 46:40.563
I'm already terrified that Gayatri
came to their attention on the bus.

46:41.063 --> 46:42.355
Now you've thrashed them.

46:42.980 --> 46:44.230
What if something happens?

46:44.605 --> 46:45.813
I did it so nothing happens, Swamy.

46:46.480 --> 46:49.271
How could we stay quiet after they
laid a hand on them, Guru Swamy?

46:49.521 --> 46:52.480
Please! you forgive him
the moment he says "Swamy Sharanam!"

46:53.313 --> 46:55.438
How did you even find out about this?

47:03.480 --> 47:06.480
Are you the guardian
of every girl in this village?

47:07.396 --> 47:09.271
If Gayatri is harmed tomorrow,
will you answer for it?

47:09.355 --> 47:10.980
How can you say that, Guru Swamy?

47:11.646 --> 47:15.605
Besides, they harassed Gayatri.
My daughter was the one who suffered.

47:16.146 --> 47:17.980
Who are you to pick fights?

47:19.938 --> 47:21.521
How can you treat me like an outsider?

47:21.980 --> 47:24.438
Manikanta's my younger daughter
and Gayatri's my elder one.

47:24.896 --> 47:27.271
If anyone messes with my daughters,
I'll kill them.

47:27.688 --> 47:30.188
When you have daughters,
you need patience and restraint.

47:30.438 --> 47:31.813
Patience and restraint?

47:32.271 --> 47:35.730
From the moment a girl
leaves her house until she returns,

47:35.855 --> 47:39.980
can we be sure she'll come back safe
without verbal or physical harassment?

47:41.646 --> 47:43.396
The other day, it was Nagulu
at the kabaddi match

47:43.730 --> 47:44.855
and yesterday, it was these scumbags.

47:45.355 --> 47:49.438
Unless they fear that someone will
tear them apart if they touch our girls

47:49.563 --> 47:51.521
we can't protect
our daughters, Guru Swamy.

47:52.646 --> 47:55.605
Besides, why differentiate between
our daughters, Guru Swamy?

47:56.313 --> 47:58.480
Have I ever treated you
any differently, Gayatri?

48:10.396 --> 48:11.313
Hey.

48:11.980 --> 48:16.355
You're our courage.
We feel helpless without you.

48:17.813 --> 48:21.646
Alright, Lord Ayyappa
will take care of everything.

48:23.271 --> 48:24.896
I won't differentiate again.

48:26.980 --> 48:28.521
I won't, man.

48:30.813 --> 48:34.730
Gayatri, if anyone messes
with you again, crush them. Okay?

48:35.646 --> 48:37.230
I'll handle them, Dad!

48:37.646 --> 48:39.938
Like father, like daughter!

48:41.021 --> 48:42.021
Ah, Trinadh.

48:42.313 --> 48:44.938
Gayatri's name is
on the grade 10 toppers list.

48:45.480 --> 48:47.396
Her teacher selected her
for special classes.

48:47.563 --> 48:52.146
Gayatri is a dedicated student,
Guru Swamy. She'll reach great heights.

48:58.105 --> 49:00.396
- My precious!
- Dad!

49:02.271 --> 49:03.605
- Shall we go?
- Dad!

49:03.980 --> 49:06.521
- Can we say bye to Gayatri sister?
- Is that so?

49:07.438 --> 49:10.730
Sir, Can you please call
Gayatri from class 10?

49:10.855 --> 49:12.605
- She's gone to special class.
- Oh, right!

49:12.896 --> 49:14.563
She's in special class. Shall we leave?

49:14.855 --> 49:15.771
- Come!
- Dad!

49:15.855 --> 49:17.230
- Tell me, dear.
- Rose milk?

49:17.355 --> 49:18.521
Okay, let's go.

49:20.188 --> 49:21.855
Business isn't going well, Trinadh.

49:21.938 --> 49:24.646
Run the business right, and everything
will be fine, Mr. Satyanarayana.

49:24.730 --> 49:26.813
We must work hard.
Nothing comes without effort.

49:28.230 --> 49:30.313
Kaveri is very particular
about this, you know?

49:30.396 --> 49:31.313
You're very lucky.

49:31.730 --> 49:34.688
- Sowji sister, hi!
- Manikanta?

49:36.188 --> 49:38.896
Aren't you attending special class
with Gayatri sister?

49:42.521 --> 49:43.813
I dropped out of school.

49:44.688 --> 49:47.813
Are you scared of those idiots
who harassed you on the bus?

49:48.563 --> 49:50.438
My dad beat them up badly.

49:51.771 --> 49:53.105
Don't be scared, sister.

49:55.521 --> 49:56.813
Would you like some rose milk?

50:03.438 --> 50:04.313
Here!

50:04.855 --> 50:06.146
- The market rate--
- Dad!

50:06.396 --> 50:08.563
- What's up?
- One rose milk for Sowji sister too.

50:08.688 --> 50:09.730
- Sowji sister?!
- Yes!

50:11.646 --> 50:12.646
There she is!

50:19.938 --> 50:24.063
- Dad, shall we meet Gayatri sister?
- We'll be late, dear.

50:26.230 --> 50:29.730
- Shall we go to a movie?
- Movie? Okay, let's go.

50:36.771 --> 50:37.688
Ma'am?

50:39.521 --> 50:41.063
Where's Sowjanya and the rest?

50:42.146 --> 50:44.480
Why, won't you come if she's not here?

50:46.271 --> 50:49.688
Anyway, my focus
is completely on you, Gayatri.

50:50.563 --> 50:53.021
You're very weak in English.

50:53.730 --> 50:56.230
Go take a shower.
We'll start the class after that.

50:57.230 --> 51:01.146
- It's okay, ma'am.
- You should wash up before you study.

51:18.771 --> 51:19.646
Sit down.

51:20.688 --> 51:21.605
Not there.

51:29.021 --> 51:31.646
You have a beautiful skin tone, Gayatri.

51:35.021 --> 51:37.230
You really love studying, don't you?

51:40.105 --> 51:42.521
If you want to become
the topper I want you to be,

51:44.063 --> 51:45.938
you'll have to focus much more.

51:47.480 --> 51:48.730
You shouldn't get distracted.

51:52.938 --> 51:53.813
For that…

51:56.188 --> 51:57.480
you must meditate.

52:02.021 --> 52:02.980
Meditation.

52:04.521 --> 52:06.563
- Don't you know it?
- No…

52:08.688 --> 52:10.063
Close your eyes.

52:12.730 --> 52:13.605
Ma'am!

52:16.771 --> 52:18.188
- Babu…
- Yes, Madam!

52:18.605 --> 52:20.480
Ma'am, let me go! No, ma'am!

52:20.563 --> 52:21.938
- Gayatri! Listen!
- I'll tell my parents!

52:22.021 --> 52:23.313
- Why are you shouting?
- Hold her hands.

52:23.396 --> 52:24.313
- Listen to her!
- NO!

52:24.438 --> 52:26.063
Won't you listen when I say it nicely?

52:26.230 --> 52:28.230
Let me go, ma'am! I'll tell my parents!

52:28.355 --> 52:31.230
- Let me go! NO!
- Hey! Hey! Listen to me!

52:33.146 --> 52:34.896
If you don't do as I say,

52:35.605 --> 52:37.480
I'll ensure you don't get
your hall ticket.

52:38.105 --> 52:40.438
Do you understand? Do you?

52:42.396 --> 52:44.688
No ma'am. Please, ma'am.

52:52.980 --> 52:53.855
Who is that?

52:54.688 --> 52:55.646
Not sure, madam.

52:59.480 --> 53:02.730
Someone's here.
If you make a sound, I'll kill you.

53:13.730 --> 53:16.605
- Does my breath smell? Okay. Come.
- No, Dad.

53:18.730 --> 53:19.771
Hello, madam.

53:20.230 --> 53:22.646
My name is Trinadh. I'm Gayatri's uncle.

53:24.730 --> 53:26.646
I heard you selected
Gayatri for special classes.

53:27.480 --> 53:30.355
Teachers like you are the reason
poor students can study.

53:31.563 --> 53:33.896
If the class is over,
I'll take Gayatri home.

53:34.438 --> 53:35.646
Yeah, it's over.

53:36.688 --> 53:37.646
Gayatri!

53:46.771 --> 53:48.563
Gayatri should be the district topper.

53:50.438 --> 53:52.646
Come on, Gayatri. Let's go.

53:54.105 --> 53:55.105
Gayatri…

53:57.146 --> 53:58.146
Take care.

54:08.896 --> 54:11.105
Who was he?
He came straight to the house.

54:11.313 --> 54:12.730
You think Gayatri will tell him?

54:12.855 --> 54:14.730
No madam.
She's crazy about her studies.

54:15.146 --> 54:17.480
You threatened to withhold
her hall ticket. She won't tell him.

54:18.271 --> 54:21.105
If anyone finds out
what goes on here, we're done for.

54:51.771 --> 54:53.146
Why are you sweating, madam?

54:55.855 --> 54:57.646
You're working too hard for these kids.

54:58.313 --> 55:01.730
It just remembered. I forgot to give you
a banana bunch. Just a moment.

55:07.271 --> 55:08.771
Keep it inside. I'll see you.

55:16.896 --> 55:17.813
Gayatri!

55:19.605 --> 55:21.021
Close your eyes.

55:23.563 --> 55:24.563
Ma'am!

55:28.396 --> 55:31.105
For a girl's future,
fear is her greatest protection.

55:34.188 --> 55:37.605
Gayatri, if anyone messes
with you again, crush them. Okay?

55:48.313 --> 55:50.646
Where are you going
at this hour, Gayatri?

55:50.730 --> 55:53.188
- To Trinadh uncle's house.
- He's in the auto near the liquor shop.

55:57.688 --> 55:58.563
Uncle.

55:58.646 --> 56:00.355
The teacher isn't who we thought she was.

56:00.438 --> 56:02.980
- Actually, in that house--
- My dear Gayatri…

56:03.563 --> 56:05.480
You should rank first
in the entire district.

56:05.563 --> 56:08.063
You're the goddess of knowledge, my dear.

56:08.230 --> 56:10.480
- Study hard…
- Oh no! Uncle!

56:10.563 --> 56:13.521
You must teach Manamma everything.

56:13.646 --> 56:16.980
Study hard and reach great heights, dear.

56:17.271 --> 56:20.855
Make us all… proud.

56:33.855 --> 56:37.646
- Hey, stop. Where are you off to?
- We're all going to Donkarayi fair.

56:37.896 --> 56:39.521
Why? Isn't drinking
in Polluru enough for you?

56:39.730 --> 56:41.980
- I'm not giving you any.
- I'll quit it anyway once I take the vow.

56:42.105 --> 56:42.980
Please, give me some.

56:43.105 --> 56:45.105
You're always drinking
and starting pointless fights.

56:45.605 --> 56:47.605
I won't have a moment's peace
until you get back.

56:47.730 --> 56:51.188
- Exactly! I'll only have two pegs!
- No! I won't give! Let it go!

56:51.271 --> 56:53.021
- Give me!
- Trinadh!

56:58.271 --> 57:02.688
The thought of staying sober for 41 days
after taking the vow makes my heart sink.

57:02.771 --> 57:05.730
- So you'll drink all 41 days' worth today?
- Pretty much.

57:20.771 --> 57:23.896
Your songs should resonate through
all of Polluru this <i>Karthika</i> month.

57:23.980 --> 57:24.938
- Exactly.
- Yes.

57:26.230 --> 57:28.396
- Trinadh! Trinadh!
- You should sing too, Suri.

57:28.938 --> 57:32.146
- Come, Swamy. Have a drink.
- Hey! I just saw Nagulu.

57:33.980 --> 57:35.563
Looks like he's just arrived.

57:36.855 --> 57:39.855
What can he do, Swamy?
Don't worry. Come on, have it.

57:40.271 --> 57:42.605
He knows he can't lay a finger
on you any other day.

57:43.105 --> 57:45.813
That's why he's come right
when you're about to take the vow.

57:47.646 --> 57:49.105
And it's not just him…

57:50.063 --> 57:53.521
even those boys you thrashed
at Donkarayi forest are here.

57:58.563 --> 58:01.646
So are the men you beat up
at the Chintoor market last year.

58:03.063 --> 58:03.980
Leave me!

58:12.563 --> 58:14.730
Every man you hurt…

58:15.105 --> 58:17.605
The moment you put on
those black robes tomorrow,

58:18.480 --> 58:21.063
they'll crawl back
like venomous snakes seeking revenge.

58:25.521 --> 58:27.396
Once you take the vow,

58:27.855 --> 58:29.896
you'll be lost in devotion
and won't fight back.

58:31.938 --> 58:33.480
I'm really scared.

58:39.855 --> 58:41.730
I'll send them a message of mercy.

58:56.271 --> 59:00.771
Hear ye! Here is the message of mercy
from Polluru's resident, Trinadh Ram Kasu.

59:00.938 --> 59:05.855
He'll be waiting alone beneath
Polluru's banyan tree tonight!

59:06.646 --> 59:10.188
Let his foes, rivals,
and troublemakers step forward

59:10.355 --> 59:13.646
and swear they won't enter
this village or harm his people

59:13.730 --> 59:16.730
during his 41-day vow. Beg him for mercy!

59:16.980 --> 59:19.188
If anyone stirs up trouble
while he's under vow,

59:19.271 --> 59:21.730
he'll cut off their heads
and hang them from the palm trees!

59:21.813 --> 59:23.646
That's his message of mercy!

59:35.688 --> 59:36.688
Who are you?

59:37.021 --> 59:40.230
You beat us up for teasing a girl
at the Chintoor fair, sir.

59:42.605 --> 59:43.938
We've come to beg for mercy.

59:44.605 --> 59:46.521
You won't step foot in Polluru
during my vow, will you?

59:48.730 --> 59:49.605
Go.

59:55.521 --> 59:57.771
- What about you?
- You hit us near the temple.

59:58.521 --> 01:00:01.021
- Watch yourselves. Move along.
- Okay, brother!

01:00:13.438 --> 01:00:16.813
- We've come to beg for mercy.
- Tell him, not me.

01:00:19.896 --> 01:00:22.146
We'll stay clear
of your village and your women.

01:00:24.730 --> 01:00:27.563
Next time, I won't just
beat you. I'll kill you.

01:00:56.021 --> 01:00:58.688
- Erraji's here.
- That moron's finally here.

01:00:59.105 --> 01:00:59.980
Trinadh…

01:01:00.605 --> 01:01:02.396
I heartily beg for mercy.

01:01:03.021 --> 01:01:05.813
During your vow and after,
we'll stay out of your way.

01:01:06.396 --> 01:01:08.771
- Where is Nagulu?
- He's a dimwit.

01:01:08.980 --> 01:01:10.230
You did what was best for him.

01:01:10.313 --> 01:01:13.021
He was so ashamed, he just left
without a word to his own father.

01:01:15.063 --> 01:01:17.355
- He must beg for himself.
- If you want,

01:01:17.438 --> 01:01:19.271
- I'll swear on your daught--
- Hey, step back!

01:01:23.521 --> 01:01:26.480
Before I take the vow
the day after tomorrow morning,

01:01:26.646 --> 01:01:28.730
your son better come and beg for mercy.

01:01:29.063 --> 01:01:29.938
Or else…

01:01:30.146 --> 01:01:31.355
<i>Swamy Sharanam!</i>

01:01:32.105 --> 01:01:35.063
Don't say that. I really don't know
where he is, Trinadh.

01:01:35.188 --> 01:01:37.396
I begged you for mercy. I did.

01:01:37.813 --> 01:01:39.521
Spare him, okay?

01:01:39.730 --> 01:01:41.438
There, Guru Swamy. I did my part.

01:01:41.605 --> 01:01:43.063
- Okay.
- Start the car.

01:01:44.521 --> 01:01:47.646
He pleaded. I don't think
he knows that his son is in town.

01:01:47.896 --> 01:01:50.855
Hey, let's stop it here.
Let's not pick a fight.

01:01:51.188 --> 01:01:53.146
Listen to me. Hey!

01:01:54.563 --> 01:01:57.730
- Trinadh, he pleaded, didn't he?
- Erraji is putting on an act

01:01:57.813 --> 01:02:00.063
- while hiding his son, Guru Swamy.
- Don't do this.

01:02:00.146 --> 01:02:02.438
You're already drunk. Listen to me!

01:02:02.646 --> 01:02:04.146
You're taking the sacred vow in two days.

01:02:04.230 --> 01:02:06.438
This isn't right. Leave him alone.

01:02:06.896 --> 01:02:09.313
Hey, Trinadh! Listen to me. Don't do this.

01:02:10.021 --> 01:02:13.146
I can't observe my vow in peace
while he is still breathing.

01:02:13.646 --> 01:02:14.938
Take Manamma home.

01:02:16.313 --> 01:02:17.188
Trinadh!

01:02:37.563 --> 01:02:38.605
Hold on. Stop.

01:02:40.646 --> 01:02:41.771
What happened now?

01:02:42.271 --> 01:02:44.605
Someone dumped
a bound corpse in the ditch.

01:02:45.521 --> 01:02:46.896
Which poor girl is it this time?

01:02:53.438 --> 01:02:54.771
Reeks like a dead dog.

01:02:55.480 --> 01:02:56.521
Someone open it!

01:03:05.646 --> 01:03:06.521
Open it.

01:03:17.021 --> 01:03:17.896
Is it a girl?

01:03:19.605 --> 01:03:22.105
- Who is it?
- It's Nagulu, sir.

01:03:33.146 --> 01:03:34.105
Hey!

01:03:35.396 --> 01:03:37.105
Hey, Nagulu!

01:03:37.771 --> 01:03:39.521
Hey, Nagulu!

01:03:43.188 --> 01:03:45.813
I warned you not to wander around.

01:03:46.605 --> 01:03:49.021
Why didn't you listen to me, Nagulu?

01:03:50.480 --> 01:03:53.938
Trinadh wasn't making
empty threats. He killed him!

01:03:57.730 --> 01:04:01.105
He was dead drunk swinging a machete.
Why didn't you stop him, Guru Swamy?

01:04:01.896 --> 01:04:03.980
I tried, dear. But he wouldn't listen.

01:04:05.563 --> 01:04:07.146
I don't know if he's alive or dead.

01:04:07.688 --> 01:04:10.146
- Now--
- Trinadh! Come out!

01:04:10.230 --> 01:04:13.355
- Trinadh! Come out!
- Trinadh! Come out!

01:04:14.188 --> 01:04:15.063
Stay here.

01:04:15.313 --> 01:04:16.355
Come out!

01:04:16.771 --> 01:04:19.605
Guru Swamy, bring Trinadh outside.

01:04:20.105 --> 01:04:22.063
He murdered my son…

01:04:22.896 --> 01:04:24.521
Where is he roaming now?

01:04:25.146 --> 01:04:26.396
Where is Trinadh?

01:04:27.313 --> 01:04:28.230
Erraji.

01:04:29.021 --> 01:04:31.563
Trinadh might get into fights
when he loses his temper,

01:04:31.855 --> 01:04:33.605
but he's not foolish enough
to commit murder.

01:04:33.896 --> 01:04:36.480
You all know what he's like
the day before his vow.

01:04:36.855 --> 01:04:41.480
I begged him with folded hands
to spare my son!

01:04:41.980 --> 01:04:44.980
- Where the hell is he? Where?
- I mean--

01:04:45.646 --> 01:04:47.105
- Where the heck is he?
- Mom!

01:04:47.188 --> 01:04:48.563
- He hasn't returned since last night!
- Tell me!

01:04:48.688 --> 01:04:50.021
- Listen to me!
- Just tell me!

01:04:50.146 --> 01:04:52.563
- We don't even know where he went.
- Where is he?

01:04:59.896 --> 01:05:01.230
Hey!

01:05:06.688 --> 01:05:07.938
Hey!

01:05:08.605 --> 01:05:10.063
Hey, Trinadh…

01:05:10.313 --> 01:05:12.771
You murdered my son!

01:05:14.855 --> 01:05:15.980
Hey, Erraji.

01:05:16.521 --> 01:05:20.521
If I had killed your son,
I'd have been the first to tell you.

01:05:20.730 --> 01:05:22.730
I was planning to kill him.

01:05:24.063 --> 01:05:25.521
Someone got to him first!

01:05:28.355 --> 01:05:30.271
I do regret…

01:05:30.980 --> 01:05:33.438
that I didn't end his life
with my own hands.

01:05:33.521 --> 01:05:35.396
- Hey!
- Hey!

01:05:35.730 --> 01:05:36.938
Why are you raising your voice?

01:05:37.021 --> 01:05:38.771
- Hey! Trinadh, stop!
- Stop it.

01:05:38.855 --> 01:05:40.521
- I'll slaughter you all!
- Trinadh!

01:05:40.605 --> 01:05:41.730
- Stop--
- Stop!

01:05:41.813 --> 01:05:44.813
- I'll kill you first, damn it!
- Hey, hey. Stop it!

01:05:47.605 --> 01:05:49.146
I lost my son!

01:05:50.605 --> 01:05:52.980
Only a father
who's been through it knows that agony.

01:05:53.521 --> 01:05:55.730
We'll settle this after your vow is done.

01:05:58.188 --> 01:05:59.896
We'll talk it out.

01:06:01.730 --> 01:06:02.646
Let's go!

01:06:03.896 --> 01:06:05.105
- Let's go.
- Don't fight!

01:06:05.188 --> 01:06:06.730
- I beg you, please leave.
- If you come here again

01:06:06.813 --> 01:06:09.271
- or near Trinadh's house, you're dead men!
- Hey, Bhargava!

01:06:09.355 --> 01:06:11.063
- Hey!
- Erraji!

01:06:11.146 --> 01:06:12.771
- Please, just leave!
- Stop!

01:06:12.855 --> 01:06:14.980
- We'll handle them later.
- Hey, get lost, you idiots!

01:06:15.063 --> 01:06:17.188
- Leave now. Go!
- Get lost!

01:06:24.313 --> 01:06:26.230
Why are you staring at me, Guru Swamy?

01:06:26.730 --> 01:06:29.980
Don't tell me
you actually think I killed Nagulu.

01:06:30.980 --> 01:06:31.855
Huh?

01:06:33.938 --> 01:06:36.813
I did go into the woods
with a machete last night.

01:06:37.146 --> 01:06:39.980
I heard Nagulu was hiding
in the Donkarayi forest.

01:06:43.063 --> 01:06:44.146
Hey, Nagulu!

01:06:45.563 --> 01:06:48.563
Nagulu! I know you're here. Step out!

01:07:03.896 --> 01:07:05.563
Why are you back? Tell me.

01:07:05.688 --> 01:07:07.730
What are you and your father plotting?

01:07:07.855 --> 01:07:10.063
Tell me, you coward.
I'll kill you! Tell me.

01:07:10.188 --> 01:07:11.771
Tell me. Tell me!

01:07:15.355 --> 01:07:16.521
Come, come, come!

01:07:16.730 --> 01:07:18.230
You're finished today.

01:07:18.313 --> 01:07:20.146
Come. Bring it on!

01:07:21.771 --> 01:07:23.521
- Come on, fight!
- Hey!

01:07:25.146 --> 01:07:26.938
Come on, fight!

01:07:31.230 --> 01:07:32.230
You…

01:07:34.563 --> 01:07:37.105
Hey! Who do you think I am? It's Nagulu!

01:07:37.688 --> 01:07:38.688
Look at me.

01:07:40.188 --> 01:07:41.480
I came here to kill you.

01:07:41.646 --> 01:07:45.855
I wanted to kill you after your vow!
But the villagers would call me a coward.

01:07:46.021 --> 01:07:48.355
So I'll kill you right now!

01:07:53.021 --> 01:07:54.980
Hey! Who are you? Let go of the dagger!

01:07:55.105 --> 01:07:56.938
- Leave it. Now.
- Hey!

01:07:57.438 --> 01:07:59.396
- Hey! Who are you?
- Hey!

01:08:00.938 --> 01:08:02.271
Hey, let me go.

01:08:02.605 --> 01:08:05.105
Hey, Get your hands off it. I'll kill him.

01:08:06.146 --> 01:08:07.480
Hey!

01:08:10.938 --> 01:08:13.271
Who are you, man? Leave me.

01:08:13.438 --> 01:08:16.021
Don't kill me! No, please. No.

01:08:18.896 --> 01:08:19.813
Hey!

01:08:22.146 --> 01:08:24.563
I couldn't see him clearly.

01:08:28.813 --> 01:08:29.730
Guru Swamy…

01:08:30.438 --> 01:08:33.271
Something sinister
is happening in our village.

01:08:33.563 --> 01:08:34.563
Something's wrong.

01:08:35.355 --> 01:08:36.521
I went into the forest.

01:08:37.146 --> 01:08:40.605
- After I found Nagulu…
- What's this, Guru Swamy?

01:08:42.105 --> 01:08:44.688
Why do I have to suffer
before his vow every year?

01:08:47.646 --> 01:08:51.105
Look at your daughter.
Look how terrified she is!

01:08:57.146 --> 01:09:00.146
What will we do
if he gets hurt, Guru Swamy?

01:09:03.188 --> 01:09:06.146
Drink yourself to death then!
Hey, come inside!

01:09:12.355 --> 01:09:13.355
Manamma…

01:09:45.063 --> 01:09:45.938
Manamma…

01:09:46.980 --> 01:09:50.063
I went into the forest
last night with a machete.

01:09:50.438 --> 01:09:52.355
I intended to kill him.

01:09:52.480 --> 01:09:55.646
Then someone showed up
wearing a mask.

01:09:55.730 --> 01:09:58.813
- And after that--
- Stop drinking, Dad.

01:10:02.438 --> 01:10:05.480
I'm taking the vow tomorrow.
I won't be drinking anyway.

01:10:06.021 --> 01:10:08.021
Don't ever drink again, Dad.

01:10:10.771 --> 01:10:13.855
If I don't drink,
my hands start shaking, Manamma.

01:10:14.396 --> 01:10:15.813
I'll hold your hands.

01:10:16.688 --> 01:10:18.105
My mind won't stop racing.

01:10:18.355 --> 01:10:20.688
- I can't sleep.
- I'll sing you to sleep, Dad.

01:10:26.021 --> 01:10:29.188
You've never asked me this
before. Why now?

01:10:30.480 --> 01:10:33.646
I used to think drinking made you happy.

01:10:34.313 --> 01:10:36.438
But you aren't happy at all.

01:10:38.771 --> 01:10:41.396
Seeing you like this scares me, Dad.

01:10:50.938 --> 01:10:51.980
Alright, Manamma.

01:10:52.813 --> 01:10:55.813
I'll quit it for you.
I swear, I'll never drink again.

01:11:08.688 --> 01:11:10.646
Your father, Trinadh Rama Kasu…

01:11:10.771 --> 01:11:14.563
His old self is gone.
Things will be different from now on.

01:11:22.021 --> 01:11:24.063
Swamiye Sharanam Ayyappa!

01:11:24.146 --> 01:11:26.021
Swamiye Sharanam Ayyappa!

01:11:26.230 --> 01:11:29.021
<i>Ayyappa! Ayyappa!</i>

01:11:29.230 --> 01:11:32.146
<i>Ayyappa! Ayyappa!</i>

01:11:32.230 --> 01:11:35.146
<i>Ayyappa! Ayyappa!</i>

01:11:35.230 --> 01:11:38.063
<i>Ayyappa! Ayyappa!</i>

01:11:38.188 --> 01:11:43.188
SWAMIYE SHARANAM AYYAPPA

01:11:56.021 --> 01:11:58.146
<i>Dawn breaks</i>
<i>On Karthika's blessed month, O Lord</i>

01:11:58.230 --> 01:12:00.355

<i>Upon the cold, bare earth</i>

01:12:02.646 --> 01:12:05.021
<i>My heart has never felt more safe</i>

01:12:05.563 --> 01:12:09.438
<i>Leave every worldly burden behind</i>
<i>And worship our Lord</i>

01:12:09.855 --> 01:12:14.021
<i>Sing His sacred name in surrender</i>
<i>And conquer the storm within</i>

01:12:35.063 --> 01:12:36.771
O Lord who feeds all!

01:12:36.855 --> 01:12:38.563
Sharanam Ayyappa!

01:12:47.771 --> 01:12:49.855
Please let us host you, Swamy.

01:12:49.938 --> 01:12:53.480
<i>You gave me Your sacred name</i>
<i>And made me one with Ayyappa</i>

01:12:53.730 --> 01:12:57.688
<i>"You are Me," you softly whispered</i>
<i>And gave me Lord's own place</i>

01:12:58.063 --> 01:13:02.188
<i>Banishing malice from every heart</i>
<i>You bound all souls in sacred oneness</i>

01:13:02.438 --> 01:13:06.563
<i>In the realm of darkness</i>
<i>You showed me a way ahead</i>

01:13:06.688 --> 01:13:10.896
<i>This sacred vow I hold so dear</i>
<i>Is no war against a shadowed foe</i>

01:13:11.021 --> 01:13:14.938
<i>It is a battle fought within myself</i>

01:13:15.396 --> 01:13:19.688
<i>This sacred vow I hold so dear</i>
<i>Is no war against a shadowed foe</i>

01:13:19.771 --> 01:13:23.355
<i>It is a battle fought within myself</i>

01:13:23.438 --> 01:13:27.813
<i>Pure as a radiant mountain stream</i>
<i>Gentle as a child's Pristine innocence</i>

01:13:27.896 --> 01:13:32.563
<i>With the holy beads upon my chest</i>
<i>I walk on, whispering a silent prayer</i>

01:13:40.688 --> 01:13:42.896
<i>Dawn breaks</i>
<i>On Karthika's blessed month, O Lord</i>

01:13:42.980 --> 01:13:45.063

<i>Leave every worldly burden behind</i>

01:13:54.605 --> 01:13:58.730
<i>Sing His sacred name in surrender</i>
<i>And conquer the storm within</i>

01:14:11.063 --> 01:14:11.938
Swamy!

01:14:12.521 --> 01:14:15.605
- Get the stall out of here.
- But you said we could sell.

01:14:15.688 --> 01:14:17.480
That was then.
Now we're in the penance period.

01:14:17.605 --> 01:14:18.521
Close the stall.

01:14:25.396 --> 01:14:29.521
<i>God called to me</i>
<i>And the silence within me answered</i>

01:14:29.730 --> 01:14:33.855
<i>My Swamy's call touched my heart</i>

01:14:34.021 --> 01:14:38.188
<i>Who knows how old this bond is</i>
<i>Or what past-life blessing it holds</i>

01:14:38.438 --> 01:14:42.355
<i>The one I created showed me the light</i>

01:14:42.688 --> 01:14:46.980
<i>As the first rays of dawn</i>
<i>Bring something new</i>

01:14:47.105 --> 01:14:51.146
<i>They soothe my tired, weary heart</i>

01:14:51.396 --> 01:14:55.480
<i>As the first rays of dawn</i>
<i>Bring something new</i>

01:14:55.730 --> 01:14:59.396
<i>They soothe my tired, weary heart</i>

01:14:59.480 --> 01:15:03.771
<i>The moonlight shines and keeps me close</i>

01:15:03.855 --> 01:15:06.021
<i>And when I wrap my heart in a garland</i>

01:15:06.105 --> 01:15:08.521
<i>- I lose myself in a melody of silence</i>
- Swamy, what's wrong?

01:15:16.855 --> 01:15:19.355
<i>Dawn breaks</i>
<i>On Karthika's blessed month, O Lord</i>

01:15:19.480 --> 01:15:21.646
- Manamma, bring the ghee from inside.
- Alright, Mom!

01:15:21.730 --> 01:15:23.771
<i>Though I rest</i>
<i>Upon the cold, bare earth</i>

01:15:23.896 --> 01:15:26.355
That's enough, Swamy.

01:15:26.563 --> 01:15:27.730
- Eat it, Swamy.
- Swamy.

01:15:27.938 --> 01:15:30.063
- Now look at our Swamy.
- Eat it.

01:15:30.646 --> 01:15:34.646
<i>- I journey on, singing the Sharana songs</i>
- Trinadh Swamy…

01:15:43.480 --> 01:15:45.563
<i>Swamy Sharanam</i>
<i>Ayyappa Sharanam</i>

01:15:45.646 --> 01:15:47.813
<i>Swamy Sharanam</i>
<i>Ayyappa Sharanam</i>

01:15:47.896 --> 01:15:49.980
<i>Swamy Sharanam</i>
<i>Ayyappa Sharanam</i>

01:15:50.063 --> 01:15:52.105
<i>Swamy Sharanam</i>
<i>Ayyappa Sharanam…</i>

01:15:52.188 --> 01:15:54.355
<i>Swamy Sharanam</i>
<i>Ayyappa Sharanam…</i>

01:15:54.438 --> 01:15:56.563
<i>Swamy Sharanam</i>
<i>Ayyappa Sharanam…</i>

01:15:56.646 --> 01:15:58.105
- Dear devotees!
- Yes.

01:15:58.313 --> 01:16:02.730
My Dad promised to quit drinking
after completing this vow.

01:16:02.813 --> 01:16:03.896
- Wow!
- Swamy.

01:16:04.063 --> 01:16:06.146
- It'd be nice if you quit drinking too.
- Have it, Swamy.

01:16:06.230 --> 01:16:07.938
We'll see if your father actually does it.

01:16:08.146 --> 01:16:09.605
- Swamy Sharanam!
- Swamy Sharanam!

01:16:10.980 --> 01:16:11.896
Gayatri sister!

01:16:14.146 --> 01:16:15.146
Sister?

01:16:16.521 --> 01:16:19.605
What's wrong? You stopped coming over.

01:16:20.563 --> 01:16:22.771
I'm attending a special class, remember?
I had to stay there.

01:16:23.230 --> 01:16:24.105
Mother!

01:16:25.146 --> 01:16:27.855
How have you been, dear?
And why are your eyes so red?

01:16:28.396 --> 01:16:29.396
It's nothing, Uncle.

01:16:29.938 --> 01:16:32.188
I just said I wanted you
to be the district topper.

01:16:32.438 --> 01:16:34.021
Don't push yourself so hard for it.

01:16:34.146 --> 01:16:36.438
Whether you pass or fail,
you'll always be my number one.

01:16:36.605 --> 01:16:39.188
Swamy! Gayatri isn't having
any trouble there, is she?

01:16:39.438 --> 01:16:41.438
- Not at all.
- Of course not.

01:16:41.605 --> 01:16:43.855
If anything were wrong,
she'd tell me first.

01:16:44.938 --> 01:16:48.355
It's already late. Go on, dear.
They must be waiting for you.

01:16:56.188 --> 01:16:57.855
- Swamy!
- Mother!

01:17:00.646 --> 01:17:05.105
It'd be so nice if you
stayed sober like this all year.

01:17:05.646 --> 01:17:06.605
I will.

01:17:09.646 --> 01:17:12.563
I gave Manamma my word.
I'll keep it, no matter how hard it gets.

01:17:20.230 --> 01:17:22.480
SILERU - POLLURU

01:17:32.688 --> 01:17:33.896
- Sowji sister?
- Huh?

01:17:34.980 --> 01:17:37.396
Why did you leave that day
at the market without a word?

01:17:39.021 --> 01:17:40.105
Tell me, sister.

01:17:40.730 --> 01:17:42.521
Why did you drop out of school?

01:17:43.646 --> 01:17:46.938
Sowji, you wanted
my 10th grade textbooks, right?

01:17:47.021 --> 01:17:47.896
Yes, sister.

01:17:49.313 --> 01:17:50.188
Here.

01:17:51.355 --> 01:17:54.521
I found a note hidden inside the books
Anusha gave me that day.

01:17:57.021 --> 01:17:59.771
When I opened it, it was
a letter Anusha wrote to me.

01:18:00.063 --> 01:18:01.021
Sowjanya!

01:18:01.230 --> 01:18:03.563
Horrible things are happening
at the teacher's house.

01:18:03.896 --> 01:18:06.313
If you get selected for special classes,

01:18:06.521 --> 01:18:07.688
don't go, no matter what!

01:18:08.063 --> 01:18:09.646
I suffered so much there.

01:18:10.063 --> 01:18:12.938
That's why I'm getting married
and leaving this place.

01:18:13.188 --> 01:18:15.355
Just don't tell anyone I told you this.

01:18:15.730 --> 01:18:18.230
Please stay away from that teacher.

01:18:22.188 --> 01:18:23.771
They must have killed Anusha.

01:18:25.146 --> 01:18:27.021
Something's not right
at that house, Manikanta.

01:18:27.730 --> 01:18:29.313
They'll kill Gayatri too!

01:18:30.188 --> 01:18:31.438
Tell her to drop out of school.

01:18:33.563 --> 01:18:36.521
And don't ever tell anyone
that I told you this.

01:18:43.813 --> 01:18:47.146
- Dad! Swamy!
- You're back, Mani?

01:18:47.396 --> 01:18:50.605
He's not here.
Dad went to Donkarayi for <i>padi puja.</i>

01:18:53.230 --> 01:18:54.980
Hey! Why are you calling dad now?

01:18:57.480 --> 01:18:58.688
What new mess is it this time?

01:19:00.563 --> 01:19:02.355
- Give me the phone.
- Mom!

01:19:02.813 --> 01:19:04.355
Tell me. What is it?

01:19:05.646 --> 01:19:06.813
I'll only tell Dad.

01:19:07.605 --> 01:19:08.688
What are you saying, brother?

01:19:08.771 --> 01:19:09.980
You're asking me to kill men in vows.

01:19:10.105 --> 01:19:12.355
If I had known this, I wouldn't have
come all the way from Ongole!

01:19:12.438 --> 01:19:13.313
Hey!

01:19:15.730 --> 01:19:17.146
The pain of losing a son
is gut-wrenching.

01:19:17.813 --> 01:19:19.813
It knows no right or wrong, brother.

01:19:24.355 --> 01:19:25.230
Where are they?

01:19:31.313 --> 01:19:35.146
<i>The archer hero of divine grace</i>
<i>The mighty Lord Manikanta</i>

01:19:36.230 --> 01:19:40.105

Move Swamy.

Damn! They got away!

01:23:15.021 --> 01:23:16.438

Go! Run them over!

01:25:15.771 --> 01:25:18.771
Polluru is just past this forest.
Come on! Ram him!

01:25:18.855 --> 01:25:20.521
Give me the sacred ash!

01:25:20.688 --> 01:25:21.646
Swamy, here!

01:25:34.438 --> 01:25:36.396

01:25:40.563 --> 01:25:42.105
POLLURU

01:25:52.355 --> 01:25:55.396
Swamy, don't say anything
to Kaveri. She will worry.

01:25:56.855 --> 01:25:57.730
Ugh!

01:25:58.563 --> 01:25:59.521
Dad!

01:26:00.105 --> 01:26:02.355
- Manamma!
- Manikanta, my dear!

01:26:05.188 --> 01:26:07.896
- Wait, Swamy.
- What happened to Manamma?

01:26:09.021 --> 01:26:10.355
Your daughter has come of age.

01:26:15.271 --> 01:26:16.521
That is good news, Swamy.

01:26:18.896 --> 01:26:19.980
- Dear Manikanta!
- Swamy.

01:26:21.438 --> 01:26:24.188
You cannot enter the house until
the day of her ceremonial bath.

01:26:24.813 --> 01:26:25.813
You must not see her.

01:26:28.771 --> 01:26:29.855
Swamy!

01:26:31.021 --> 01:26:32.438
What's wrong?

01:26:34.188 --> 01:26:36.438
Is it because
you can't see your daughter?

01:26:37.146 --> 01:26:38.438
You want to break the vow instead?

01:26:39.146 --> 01:26:40.063
No, Guru Swamy.

01:26:40.438 --> 01:26:43.896
All of this is for my Manamma.
I'll sleep at the temple.

01:26:44.688 --> 01:26:47.521
- Alright. I'll send Lakshmi over to help.
- Okay, Guru Swamy.

01:26:49.813 --> 01:26:52.230
Swamy! I'll look after her.

01:27:06.521 --> 01:27:07.813
Swamy, where's your phone?

01:27:08.271 --> 01:27:10.480
You daughter tried
reaching you so many times.

01:27:11.146 --> 01:27:13.271
It broke. I gave it in for repair.

01:27:13.980 --> 01:27:14.855
By the way…

01:27:16.271 --> 01:27:17.271
How is Manamma doing?

01:27:18.230 --> 01:27:20.313
She kept crying out for you.

01:27:21.646 --> 01:27:22.980
She wanted to tell you something.

01:27:24.063 --> 01:27:27.855
I told her she can tell you later,
put her to bed, and came over.

01:27:28.855 --> 01:27:31.688
Why did she scream like that?
She must've been in a lot of pain.

01:27:34.355 --> 01:27:36.521
It's natural for every girl, Swamy.

01:27:39.355 --> 01:27:41.021
Are you tearing up?

01:27:43.230 --> 01:27:45.438
Three days every month,

01:27:46.105 --> 01:27:49.105
I see what you women all go through.

01:27:49.938 --> 01:27:53.063
Does my little girl
have to go through that pain too?

01:27:54.813 --> 01:27:55.688
Swamy…

01:27:56.938 --> 01:27:58.105
Look at me.

01:28:00.855 --> 01:28:01.730
Not now.

01:28:02.605 --> 01:28:05.105
Just wait until
her coming-of-age ceremony.

01:28:06.480 --> 01:28:07.730
She'll be anointed with
turmeric and sandalwood,

01:28:07.813 --> 01:28:09.188
draped in a silk half-sari,

01:28:09.605 --> 01:28:13.521
seated royally like a queen
and showered with love and blessings.

01:28:14.730 --> 01:28:15.730
You'll understand then.

01:28:21.438 --> 01:28:22.938
Let's get her nose pierced.

01:28:23.605 --> 01:28:26.521
She's too young.
Let's do it when she can handle the pain.

01:28:26.605 --> 01:28:28.271
Gold prices are rising, Swamy.

01:28:28.438 --> 01:28:31.313
I'll sell my land if I must.
Just wait till you see the celebration.

01:28:31.438 --> 01:28:35.355
You will. You'd do anything
for your daughter. I know that.

01:28:39.771 --> 01:28:41.646
<i>If you don't do as I say,</i>

01:28:41.980 --> 01:28:43.855
<i>I'll ensure you don't get</i>
<i>your hall ticket.</i>

01:28:49.188 --> 01:28:50.105
Sister…

01:28:55.188 --> 01:28:57.271
Gayatri has been acting strangely lately.

01:28:57.813 --> 01:28:59.105
- Why so?
- I don't know.

01:28:59.355 --> 01:29:00.605
After her special class,

01:29:00.688 --> 01:29:03.438
she shuts herself in her room
without talking to anyone.

01:29:04.146 --> 01:29:05.605
She barely eats or sleeps.

01:29:06.188 --> 01:29:09.021
Maybe she's stressed about
the tenth-grade board exams.

01:29:10.230 --> 01:29:11.146
By the way,

01:29:11.521 --> 01:29:14.021
how's Manamma?
She isn't worried, is she?

01:29:14.188 --> 01:29:17.146
She's been pestering me
to meet Gayatri since yesterday.

01:29:17.855 --> 01:29:18.771
Is that so?

01:29:19.396 --> 01:29:22.730
Okay, Kaveri. If Gayatri wishes,
I'll send her over in the evening.

01:29:24.730 --> 01:29:26.605
Manamma… How are you?

01:29:26.855 --> 01:29:29.021
Listen to your mother. Take care.

01:29:30.021 --> 01:29:30.896
I'll come back, Kaveri.

01:29:30.980 --> 01:29:32.188
Okay, Lakshmamma.

01:29:34.021 --> 01:29:35.855
- I'll serve the food. Sit down.
- Mom!

01:29:36.730 --> 01:29:38.480
Take me to Dad.

01:29:39.313 --> 01:29:41.563
You shouldn't meet dad
at this time, dear.

01:29:41.855 --> 01:29:45.188
- He'll be back in two days.
- NO! Take me right now!

01:29:45.605 --> 01:29:46.521
Manamma!

01:29:47.230 --> 01:29:49.813
I'll see him from a distance, Mom.

01:29:53.980 --> 01:29:56.230
Here's today's list
of ingredients for the offering.

01:29:56.605 --> 01:29:57.480
- Swamy…
- Yes.

01:29:57.563 --> 01:29:59.271
Also invite the MLA for the prayer.

01:29:59.355 --> 01:30:00.521
- Okay, Guru Swamy!
- Slow down, Manamma.

01:30:01.855 --> 01:30:04.188
- Dad! Dad!
- Wait.

01:30:04.563 --> 01:30:05.855
Manamma, wait. Don't run.

01:30:05.938 --> 01:30:06.980
- Swamy!
- Dad!

01:30:13.230 --> 01:30:14.188
- Trimoorthulu.
- Sir.

01:30:14.271 --> 01:30:16.188
No one's pension
or benefits should be held up.

01:30:16.271 --> 01:30:17.480
- Yes, sir.
- Visit every village.

01:30:17.605 --> 01:30:19.105
- Once I return, I'll enquire myself.
- Swamy!

01:30:19.230 --> 01:30:20.521
- Okay, sir.
- Greetings, Swamy.

01:30:21.730 --> 01:30:23.688
What brings you here, Trinadh Swamy?

01:30:23.813 --> 01:30:25.896
We're having a prayer
tonight at Polluru's temple.

01:30:26.271 --> 01:30:28.188
Guru Swamy sent me to invite you.

01:30:28.438 --> 01:30:31.271
I'm leaving for Bejawada on urgent work.
I won't be here for two days.

01:30:31.771 --> 01:30:33.105
I'll come during the <i>Irumudi</i> ceremony.

01:30:33.521 --> 01:30:34.938
- Swamy…
- Yes?

01:30:36.521 --> 01:30:38.188
My daughter has attained puberty.

01:30:38.563 --> 01:30:40.188
Swamiye Sharanam Ayyappa.

01:30:41.105 --> 01:30:42.646
You should definitely
attend the celebration.

01:30:43.230 --> 01:30:45.521
I'll come with madam and bless her.

01:30:45.688 --> 01:30:47.855
- Happy?
- Very happy, Swamy.

01:31:06.563 --> 01:31:07.563
We're out of petrol.

01:31:07.646 --> 01:31:09.771
Let me get it
from the nearest village. You stay here.

01:31:10.188 --> 01:31:11.938
- Babu.
- What?

01:31:12.355 --> 01:31:14.646
I'm scared to stay alone here.

01:31:15.021 --> 01:31:15.938
Didn't I say I'd be back?

01:31:22.855 --> 01:31:24.146
I'm out of money.

01:31:24.938 --> 01:31:27.563
I'll have to work at that
poultry farm for ten days…

01:31:36.355 --> 01:31:38.146
Brother, I need to pee.

01:31:40.813 --> 01:31:43.355
- Whose bike is that?
- Looks like some drunk left it here.

01:31:47.730 --> 01:31:48.938
- Brother!
- Huh?

01:32:02.813 --> 01:32:07.021
<i>- Sri Swamiye…</i>
<i>- Sharanam Ayyappa!</i>

01:32:07.313 --> 01:32:11.438
- Son of Harihara…
<i>- Sharanam Ayyappa!</i>

01:32:20.438 --> 01:32:22.646
Trinadh Swamy, Here you go.

01:32:24.896 --> 01:32:28.355
- O Lord and Sustainer of life…
<i>- Sharanam Ayyappa!</i>

01:32:28.438 --> 01:32:31.896
- O Dharma Shasta of Thirimeli…
- Sharanam Ayyappa!

01:32:31.980 --> 01:32:34.896
- O Lord of Karimala…
- Sharanam Ayyappa!

01:32:35.021 --> 01:32:38.146
- O Dweller of Neelimala…
<i>- Sharanam Ayyappa!</i>

01:32:40.730 --> 01:32:42.355
Gayatri hasn't come home yet, Swamy.

01:32:42.646 --> 01:32:45.605
It's already past ten.
I'm feeling worried.

01:32:53.521 --> 01:32:54.813
- Babu Swamy!
- Yes, Swamy.

01:32:54.980 --> 01:32:56.355
Gayatri hasn't come home yet.

01:32:56.688 --> 01:32:57.646
Isn't class over yet? Huh?

01:32:57.938 --> 01:32:59.771
There was no
special class today, Swamy.

01:33:00.021 --> 01:33:01.271
The teacher isn't in town either.

01:33:01.563 --> 01:33:03.188
She must've come
straight home from school.

01:33:08.146 --> 01:33:10.063
He said there wasn't
any special class today.

01:33:10.646 --> 01:33:11.855
What could've happened, Swamy?

01:33:12.730 --> 01:33:14.646
Maybe she went to a friend's house.

01:33:27.396 --> 01:33:29.688
Guru Swamy, it's almost 12 am.

01:33:29.980 --> 01:33:32.146
- Shall we file a police complaint?
- The police station?

01:33:32.230 --> 01:33:34.396
I think those Donkarayi fellows
are behind this, Swamy.

01:33:34.813 --> 01:33:38.771
- What's the hold up? Let's go search!
- Come on. Let's look.

01:33:46.063 --> 01:33:47.480
What's going on, Swamy?

01:34:16.521 --> 01:34:21.146
- Swamiye…
- Sharanam Ayyappa!

01:34:27.105 --> 01:34:29.605
Gayatri still hasn't come home
from school, Swamy!

01:34:29.896 --> 01:34:31.980
- Entire village has gone looking for her.
- Come, Swamy.

01:34:59.771 --> 01:35:00.730
Anyone here?

01:35:02.938 --> 01:35:04.396
- Swamy, look around.
- Okay, Swamy.

01:35:14.313 --> 01:35:15.896
Swamy, did you see anyone?

01:35:15.980 --> 01:35:17.396
Swamy, there's no one here.

01:35:18.063 --> 01:35:20.021
Guru Swamy! Guru Swamy!

01:35:21.980 --> 01:35:22.855
Guru Swamy!

01:35:23.021 --> 01:35:25.855
They found a girl's body in the bushes
near the banyan tree by the dam.

01:35:27.480 --> 01:35:28.938
Firewood gatherers alerted us.

01:35:33.480 --> 01:35:34.521
Hey, is it over there?

01:35:34.813 --> 01:35:35.688
Over here!

01:35:36.105 --> 01:35:38.438
- Come on!
- Let's go.

01:35:47.146 --> 01:35:48.355
In those bushes, Guru Swamy.

01:36:01.271 --> 01:36:02.146
Guru Swamy…

01:36:04.188 --> 01:36:06.021
Surely it can't be our Gayatri.

01:36:06.855 --> 01:36:08.646
We won't know until we see who it is.

01:36:09.813 --> 01:36:10.938
Don't be afraid to look.

01:36:17.355 --> 01:36:18.438
Please, God!

01:36:34.480 --> 01:36:37.230
Guru Swamy… It isn't our Gayatri, right?

01:36:37.605 --> 01:36:39.146
Guru Swamy… it isn't Gayatri, right?

01:36:42.105 --> 01:36:43.688
It's Manikanta, dear.

01:36:45.188 --> 01:36:47.855
- Huh?
- Manamma…

01:38:07.230 --> 01:38:08.188
Guru Swamy!

01:38:10.938 --> 01:38:13.438
Who is it? It isn't our Gayatri, right?

01:38:14.688 --> 01:38:16.188
I'm coming down, Swamy.

01:38:21.188 --> 01:38:22.688
Swamy, it isn't Gayatri, right?

01:38:24.480 --> 01:38:26.896
Why is everyone just staring mutely?

01:38:34.396 --> 01:38:35.271
Who is it, Swamy?

01:38:36.313 --> 01:38:39.438
It isn't our Gayatri, is it?
She's safe, right?

01:38:42.938 --> 01:38:44.105
Why aren't you answering, Swamy?

01:38:49.480 --> 01:38:52.480
Mother, it isn't Gayatri, right? Tell me!

01:38:58.230 --> 01:39:00.188
Our… Manamma.

01:39:18.605 --> 01:39:19.980
It's Manamma!

01:39:40.688 --> 01:39:41.563
Trinadh!

01:40:05.605 --> 01:40:07.730
Swamy, Gayatri has returned home.

01:40:08.355 --> 01:40:10.771
She fainted in the classroom
yesterday evening

01:40:10.938 --> 01:40:14.063
and the peon locked the room
without noticing. She's fine now.

01:40:22.355 --> 01:40:24.980
Guru Swamy…
if you break your vow now,

01:40:25.313 --> 01:40:28.063
tomorrow's <i>Irumudi</i> rituals
will have to be canceled.

01:40:28.646 --> 01:40:29.813
What should we do?

01:40:30.855 --> 01:40:32.896
A child lies dead there.

01:40:35.063 --> 01:40:37.438
Who will console her parents?

01:40:39.021 --> 01:40:40.355
Please forgive me, Swamy.

01:40:42.313 --> 01:40:44.605
Please bring in another
Guru Swamy from elsewhere.

01:41:04.688 --> 01:41:08.188
<i>She wanted to tell you something.</i>
<i>She kept calling for you.</i>

01:41:09.105 --> 01:41:12.730
<i>She wanted to tell you something.</i>
<i>She kept calling for you.</i>

01:41:19.313 --> 01:41:21.188
Brother is at the temple junction.

01:41:26.730 --> 01:41:27.605
Trinadh…

01:41:28.813 --> 01:41:31.605
- What are you doing?
- Kaveri, is Manamma awake?

01:41:33.271 --> 01:41:36.021
Manamma is no longer with us.

01:41:36.896 --> 01:41:39.480
- Last rites…
- What are you saying, Kaveri?

01:41:39.855 --> 01:41:41.063
Did you have a nightmare?

01:41:41.396 --> 01:41:43.813
Didn't you say she fell asleep
calling out for me?

01:41:44.271 --> 01:41:46.688
Poor child, I wonder
what she wanted to tell me.

01:41:47.271 --> 01:41:49.938
I wasn't there for her.
She'll tell me when she wakes.

01:41:52.688 --> 01:41:53.605
Guru Swamy…

01:41:54.313 --> 01:41:57.605
Last rites must conclude before dawn.
Or it's a bad omen for the village.

01:41:57.730 --> 01:42:00.396
If you permit,
we'll go ahead with the rituals.

01:42:00.480 --> 01:42:03.480
Didn't I tell you my daughter is asleep?
No one must go near her.

01:42:03.855 --> 01:42:05.480
Guru Swamy, send everyone away.

01:42:05.980 --> 01:42:09.396
- Hey, Suri. Come here. Come here!
- Brother?

01:42:10.063 --> 01:42:13.313
Hey, I shouldn't hear any sound
from the surroundings.

01:42:13.396 --> 01:42:14.438
Got it? Go.

01:42:19.313 --> 01:42:20.188
Brother!

01:42:20.896 --> 01:42:23.355
Brother, don't honk near
the temple junction.

01:42:23.605 --> 01:42:25.771
- Who are you to tell me that?
- Brother…

01:42:27.938 --> 01:42:29.021
Hey! Who are you, man?

01:42:30.438 --> 01:42:32.396
Didn't I send someone to tell you

01:42:32.855 --> 01:42:35.771
my daughter has a fever
and ask you not to honk?

01:42:36.855 --> 01:42:38.146
- Where are you from?
- Chintoor, sir.

01:42:38.521 --> 01:42:40.271
- What brings you to Polluru?
- We came for sand.

01:42:40.896 --> 01:42:41.813
Show me the vehicle papers.

01:42:49.938 --> 01:42:52.855
- Suri! Don't let a single vehicle through.
- Brother!

01:42:52.938 --> 01:42:54.855
Any new person entering the village,

01:42:55.021 --> 01:42:56.813
I want to know who they are
and why they've come.

01:42:56.896 --> 01:42:57.813
Got it, brother.

01:43:04.688 --> 01:43:07.646
Hey Appu, Trinadh will be looking for me.

01:43:07.771 --> 01:43:08.855
Don't go out.

01:43:09.355 --> 01:43:11.771
Shut down our belt shop
in the market and disappear.

01:43:14.896 --> 01:43:17.146
I'll step out and call you
after three days.

01:43:51.771 --> 01:43:54.730
Hey, Erraji! Erraji!

01:44:06.605 --> 01:44:08.271
ERRAJI WINE SHOP

01:44:11.021 --> 01:44:13.938
Erraji? He hasn't been seen
around the market for the past two days.

01:44:15.396 --> 01:44:18.563
What a tragedy!
They didn't even spare a young girl.

01:44:19.021 --> 01:44:21.021
Whoever did this will suffer!

01:45:12.021 --> 01:45:13.396
Why did you run when you saw me?

01:45:14.480 --> 01:45:16.521
- Tell me!
- We didn't hurt Gayatri.

01:45:18.438 --> 01:45:19.313
Gayatri?

01:45:19.896 --> 01:45:22.896
What did you plan to do to her? Tell me!

01:45:22.980 --> 01:45:26.313
That night… Gayatri was alone
on the bridge, so we went closer.

01:45:30.813 --> 01:45:33.980
Just then, a white car stopped.
It was the MLA.

01:45:34.563 --> 01:45:36.438
Who are you? What are you doing here?

01:45:38.521 --> 01:45:41.021
Gayatri! What are you doing here?

01:45:41.355 --> 01:45:43.980
Babu went out to get petrol, sir.

01:45:44.855 --> 01:45:47.105
How could he leave
a girl alone in the dark?

01:45:47.771 --> 01:45:48.771
Come here.

01:45:49.021 --> 01:45:52.146
He said he'd drop Gayatri home
and drove away with her.

01:45:52.771 --> 01:45:54.896
We didn't do anything. We didn't!

01:45:56.896 --> 01:45:57.855
The MLA?

01:45:58.313 --> 01:46:00.230
<i>Guru Swamy sent me to invite you.</i>

01:46:00.771 --> 01:46:03.105
<i>I'm leaving for Bejawada on urgent work.</i>

01:46:04.021 --> 01:46:05.563
<i>I won't be here for two days.</i>

01:46:06.313 --> 01:46:08.105
<i>I'll come during the Irumudi ceremony.</i>

01:46:11.813 --> 01:46:14.021
If he wasn't going to be in town,

01:46:14.480 --> 01:46:16.896
why did the MLA
give Gayatri a ride that day?

01:46:26.896 --> 01:46:27.771
What happened, brother?

01:46:28.688 --> 01:46:29.563
Any news?

01:46:31.646 --> 01:46:32.646
The phone is fixed, brother.

01:46:33.355 --> 01:46:34.896
Call my sister-in-law.

01:46:36.021 --> 01:46:39.813
It scares me to see you like this.
Drink up and cry your heart out.

01:46:45.313 --> 01:46:46.980
I'll stay with sister-in-law.

01:46:54.563 --> 01:46:56.563
<i>Dad, when are you coming home?</i>

01:46:57.271 --> 01:46:59.771
<i>I can't sleep without you.</i>

01:47:01.021 --> 01:47:04.438
<i>I can't stay all alone in this room.</i>

01:47:05.188 --> 01:47:06.896
<i>Please come back home, Dad.</i>

01:47:14.021 --> 01:47:14.896
<i>Dad!</i>

01:47:23.938 --> 01:47:24.938
<i>Dad!</i>

01:48:04.980 --> 01:48:06.021
Where are you?

01:48:06.605 --> 01:48:07.480
Guru Swamy.

01:48:08.480 --> 01:48:09.938
I'm starving, Guru Swamy.

01:48:10.646 --> 01:48:12.480
Can you bring me some food
down by the dam?

01:48:18.896 --> 01:48:19.771
I'm coming.

01:48:22.396 --> 01:48:24.105
I've been looking all over for you.

01:48:32.021 --> 01:48:35.063
Your daughter's body is lying at home,
and you're thinking about food?

01:48:35.980 --> 01:48:37.521
You have a heart of stone, Trinadh.

01:48:40.271 --> 01:48:42.730
My heart breaks for poor Kaveri.

01:48:43.730 --> 01:48:45.271
She hasn't even had
a single drop of water.

01:49:10.063 --> 01:49:12.980
My daughter
told me everything, Guru Swamy.

01:49:14.188 --> 01:49:15.230
What did she say?

01:49:24.938 --> 01:49:27.021
Dad. Guru Swamy uncle…

01:49:27.688 --> 01:49:29.105
He's going to kill me, Dad.

01:49:29.605 --> 01:49:30.730
He's going to kill me.

01:49:39.480 --> 01:49:43.188
Let me see my wife
and Gayatri one last time.

01:50:01.146 --> 01:50:03.480
What did you
do to my daughter, Goparaju?

01:50:05.146 --> 01:50:07.271
<i>- Swamiye!</i>
- That day during the bhajan,

01:50:07.688 --> 01:50:09.146
- the call I got wasn't from my wife.
- Sharanam Ayyappa!

01:50:14.063 --> 01:50:16.396
- Swamy?
- It's me, the MLA.

01:50:17.105 --> 01:50:18.855
Come to the teacher's house right away.

01:50:20.188 --> 01:50:21.438
I am at the bhajan, Swamy.

01:50:21.855 --> 01:50:24.355
It's an emergency! Hurry up.

01:50:25.063 --> 01:50:25.938
Alright!

01:50:26.855 --> 01:50:30.813
Wondering why the MLA wanted me
at the teacher's house, I rushed over.

01:50:32.563 --> 01:50:33.521
Mr. Bujji?

01:50:38.105 --> 01:50:39.063
Gayatri, dear?

01:50:40.563 --> 01:50:41.438
Gayatri!

01:50:42.896 --> 01:50:45.646
- Dad!
- What happened, dear?

01:50:52.896 --> 01:50:56.896
Mr. Bujji, what happened
to my daughter? Teacher!

01:50:57.230 --> 01:50:59.980
What you're about to hear
will disgust you, Guru Swamy.

01:51:00.730 --> 01:51:02.438
But it's time to tell the truth.

01:51:05.188 --> 01:51:06.855
I have a weakness.

01:51:07.521 --> 01:51:08.730
For schoolgirls.

01:51:17.230 --> 01:51:19.480
I just took a liking
to your daughter, too.

01:51:21.021 --> 01:51:24.980
I went for a routine school inspection,
looking for a new girl.

01:51:25.396 --> 01:51:27.355
- Goodbye, students!
- Bye, sir.

01:51:27.438 --> 01:51:29.605
- Sir! Sir! Sir!
- Yes?

01:51:30.646 --> 01:51:33.146
Thank you so much
for arranging the village bus, sir.

01:51:33.271 --> 01:51:35.896
- Haven't I seen you somewhere before?
- That's Gayatri.

01:51:36.563 --> 01:51:38.980
Tonight's "special class" is with her.

01:51:39.605 --> 01:51:42.438
As long as you're at this school,
I'll be incredibly happy.

01:51:42.855 --> 01:51:45.521
Thanks for revoking my suspension.

01:51:46.605 --> 01:51:51.355
You'll get a 30% cut
from the new school building grant.

01:51:54.896 --> 01:51:56.188
- Babu!
- Ma'am.

01:51:56.396 --> 01:51:57.521
- Let me go, ma'am!
- Gayatri!

01:51:57.605 --> 01:51:59.646
- Listen to me.
- Let me go! I'll tell my parents!

01:51:59.771 --> 01:52:01.605
If you don't do as I say,

01:52:02.313 --> 01:52:04.105
I'll ensure you don't get
your hall ticket.

01:52:04.688 --> 01:52:06.146
Don't frighten her, Teacher.

01:52:10.105 --> 01:52:13.563
Teacher, how could you do this to a child?

01:52:14.938 --> 01:52:18.438
Right then, Trinadh showed up
at the teacher's house.

01:52:18.813 --> 01:52:19.688
Who is that?

01:52:19.771 --> 01:52:24.855
He had no idea I was inside.
And Gayatri didn't tell him either.

01:52:30.063 --> 01:52:32.605
As always, I spent some time with her

01:52:32.730 --> 01:52:33.938
before sending her back.

01:52:35.355 --> 01:52:37.396
But I ran into her again on the road.

01:52:38.730 --> 01:52:41.896
Who are you guys?
What are you doing here?

01:52:42.980 --> 01:52:45.438
Gayatri, dear. Come here.

01:52:55.146 --> 01:52:56.480
And right at that moment,

01:52:57.438 --> 01:52:59.396
all hell broke loose, Guru Swamy.

01:53:00.896 --> 01:53:02.813
Manikanta, no.

01:53:03.480 --> 01:53:05.188
- I'm scared.
- Come on, sister.

01:53:05.313 --> 01:53:07.146
Let's get Gayatri out of here.

01:53:08.105 --> 01:53:10.521
- Manikanta, wait. Listen to me.
- Just come, sister.

01:53:11.230 --> 01:53:12.146
Manikanta!

01:53:19.980 --> 01:53:22.188
- Once. Only once more.
- Please, sir! Let me go!

01:53:23.605 --> 01:53:24.480
Hey!

01:53:28.438 --> 01:53:29.938
Manikanta, hurry.

01:53:30.688 --> 01:53:32.396
Hey! Hey! Hey! Stop!

01:53:34.146 --> 01:53:36.813
- Hey, who is that?
- That's Trinadh's daughter, sir.

01:53:36.896 --> 01:53:38.688
- She'll tell her father everything.
- Catch her!

01:53:45.730 --> 01:53:49.313
What if Manikanta
blurts everything out to her dad?

01:53:50.563 --> 01:53:52.730
My 30-year political career
would be ruined.

01:53:52.813 --> 01:53:55.563
Hey! You monster!

01:53:57.438 --> 01:53:59.146
My daughter is just a little girl!

01:54:00.521 --> 01:54:05.063
- How can you ruin her life like this?
- Guru Swamy!

01:54:07.896 --> 01:54:10.063
You're taking this the wrong way.

01:54:11.396 --> 01:54:14.063
I've probably been with
so many girls by now.

01:54:15.480 --> 01:54:19.271
I only killed the four
who refused to listen.

01:54:22.521 --> 01:54:25.521
Got a problem?
Keep it to yourself. Tell no one.

01:54:27.980 --> 01:54:29.646
<i>The next girl on my list was…</i>

01:54:31.480 --> 01:54:35.188
<i>Erraji's daughter.</i>
<i>I mean… Nagulu's sister.</i>

01:54:37.063 --> 01:54:39.855
<i>She met her brother in the forest</i>
<i>and confessed everything.</i>

01:54:40.980 --> 01:54:44.146
<i>- He found out I was enjoying his sister.</i>
- Teacher, come outside.

01:54:44.980 --> 01:54:48.146
<i>I was furious when Nagulu confronted</i>
<i>the teacher and threatened her.</i>

01:54:49.021 --> 01:54:53.521
<i>So I had him killed and framed Trinadh.</i>

01:54:59.063 --> 01:55:00.688
Gayatri isn't like the others.
She's a good girl.

01:55:00.896 --> 01:55:03.896
I was planning to let her go,
until this mess. Tell him, teacher.

01:55:07.396 --> 01:55:08.271
Guru Swamy.

01:55:09.063 --> 01:55:11.938
Without overthinking this,
just bring Manikanta here.

01:55:13.605 --> 01:55:16.646
We'll give her a stern warning
and send her home.

01:55:17.855 --> 01:55:19.605
Why are you hesitating, Guru Swamy?

01:55:22.938 --> 01:55:26.521
With a single click,
your daughter's life will fall apart.

01:55:39.980 --> 01:55:43.105
Lakshmamma! Lakshmamma!

01:55:44.563 --> 01:55:47.271
- What is it?
- Manamma has a stomach ache.

01:55:47.438 --> 01:55:49.563
- Do you have any fenugreek seeds?
- Yes, I'll get you some.

01:55:49.896 --> 01:55:50.771
Where's Gayatri?

01:55:53.355 --> 01:55:54.230
Uncle!

01:55:56.146 --> 01:55:58.021
That MLA isn't a good man, uncle.

01:55:58.146 --> 01:56:00.813
They are torturing Gayatri
at the teacher's house.

01:56:00.980 --> 01:56:02.396
Sowji and I saw it with our own eyes.

01:56:03.771 --> 01:56:05.938
- Is that true?
- Yes.

01:56:06.230 --> 01:56:08.896
Come on, let's go get Gayatri.

01:56:17.396 --> 01:56:20.313
Uncle, why did you stop here?

01:56:22.021 --> 01:56:23.646
Did you break your vow?

01:56:52.021 --> 01:56:54.605
Did you tell anyone what you saw, dear?

01:56:56.646 --> 01:56:57.605
She didn't, sir.

01:56:58.521 --> 01:57:00.313
She won't say a word. I promise.

01:57:00.813 --> 01:57:02.438
I don't trust her, Guru Swamy.

01:57:02.521 --> 01:57:05.688
If you want,
I'll make her swear it, sir. My dear!

01:57:06.896 --> 01:57:10.105
Don't tell your dad
about what happened to Gayatri.

01:57:11.063 --> 01:57:14.438
- I'll tell him, uncle!
- She will, Guru Swamy.

01:57:15.313 --> 01:57:18.438
Because your upbringing
is different from her father's.

01:57:20.396 --> 01:57:23.063
I'll wait outside. Finish her off.

01:57:31.688 --> 01:57:32.646
Sir…

01:57:42.855 --> 01:57:43.980
I can't do this.

01:57:44.980 --> 01:57:47.271
I could kill her myself, Guru Swamy.

01:57:48.396 --> 01:57:51.021
But then I'm tied to the crime,
while you go scot-free.

01:57:52.355 --> 01:57:53.896
I wouldn't be able to sleep at night.

01:57:56.188 --> 01:57:57.771
You don't have a choice, Guru Swamy.

01:57:58.896 --> 01:58:01.438
His daughter or yours?

01:58:13.563 --> 01:58:15.563
What happened, uncle?

01:58:16.396 --> 01:58:17.271
Dear.

01:58:17.646 --> 01:58:22.980
They have explicit videos of Gayatri.

01:58:23.980 --> 01:58:25.146
If those videos get leaked…

01:58:26.563 --> 01:58:30.730
it won't just destroy her dignity,
but also our lives.

01:58:31.896 --> 01:58:35.438
- Don't tell your dad.
- I'll tell him, uncle.

01:58:36.146 --> 01:58:40.271
I will tell Dad everything
about him and that teacher.

01:58:41.313 --> 01:58:42.730
Poor Gayatri!

01:58:43.396 --> 01:58:46.271
She was so terrified
she couldn't tell anyone.

01:58:46.646 --> 01:58:50.188
- But I'm definitely telling my Dad.
- No, please!

01:58:50.896 --> 01:58:54.230
- Listen to me, don't tell your dad.
- I'll tell him.

01:58:54.438 --> 01:58:58.063
- I'll beg at your feet. Don't tell him!
- I will, uncle.

01:58:58.146 --> 01:58:59.688
- Please don't.
- I'll tell him.

01:59:00.605 --> 01:59:04.855
My daughter's life will be ruined.
Please don't tell him.

01:59:04.938 --> 01:59:07.063
- I'll tell Dad! I will…
- Don't tell him, dear. Please don't.

01:59:07.355 --> 01:59:08.480
- Don't!
- I will…

01:59:31.105 --> 01:59:32.480
I didn't have a choice…

01:59:33.813 --> 01:59:35.313
Considering my daughter's situation…

01:59:36.771 --> 01:59:39.355
I loved your daughter
like my own, Goparaju.

01:59:40.188 --> 01:59:42.355
But you didn't.

01:59:42.730 --> 01:59:43.938
Why should I?

01:59:44.771 --> 01:59:45.688
Why should I?

01:59:47.188 --> 01:59:50.396
Did you raise her like a daughter at all?

01:59:51.855 --> 01:59:56.063
You spoiled her by constantly
teaching her to "tell dad everything!"

01:59:56.730 --> 01:59:57.605
Hey!

01:59:58.396 --> 02:00:00.896
I saved my daughter
by teaching her to stay silent.

02:00:02.230 --> 02:00:04.813
But you got yours killed
by encouraging her to speak.

02:00:08.480 --> 02:00:11.438
When you raise a girl,
you need a little healthy fear.

02:00:13.063 --> 02:00:14.896
Neither you nor she had that fear!

02:00:16.521 --> 02:00:17.438
That's why…

02:00:18.730 --> 02:00:19.980
She paid with her life.

02:00:25.271 --> 02:00:27.813
People from many villages
fall at my feet in reverence.

02:00:29.105 --> 02:00:30.938
Yet I fell at your daughter's feet to beg!

02:00:34.021 --> 02:00:35.313
She wouldn't listen to me.

02:00:39.730 --> 02:00:41.688
Even while I was strangling her to death,

02:00:42.605 --> 02:00:46.438
she kept saying the same thing.
"I'll tell dad! I'll tell dad! I'll--"

02:00:50.605 --> 02:00:51.563
Hey, Trinadh…

02:01:05.896 --> 02:01:09.646
Almost done. Just hold on.

02:01:10.896 --> 02:01:15.063
Raising a daughter isn't about
instilling fear in her, Goparaju.

02:01:15.730 --> 02:01:18.146
It's about giving her the courage
to speak up without fear.

02:01:25.813 --> 02:01:26.688
Dad!

02:01:27.271 --> 02:01:30.188
Guru Swamy uncle is going to kill me.

02:01:30.605 --> 02:01:31.730
He's killing me!

02:02:08.021 --> 02:02:08.896
Kaveri!

02:02:11.396 --> 02:02:12.271
Kaveri!

02:02:24.980 --> 02:02:27.105
They put your daughter in a freezer!

02:02:28.563 --> 02:02:29.980
I can't take this anymore.

02:02:31.521 --> 02:02:34.605
Just look at her.
Like an abandoned corp--

02:02:38.563 --> 02:02:39.813
Just one more night, Kaveri.

02:02:40.605 --> 02:02:41.855
I have one last thing to do.

02:02:42.313 --> 02:02:43.188
Once that's done,

02:02:43.855 --> 02:02:47.396
I'll perform my daughter's
ceremonial bath tomorrow morning.

02:02:48.896 --> 02:02:50.396
A ceremonial bath?

02:02:51.355 --> 02:02:52.355
You know how I am.

02:02:53.063 --> 02:02:56.355
Everything I do for my daughter,
I do as if for God.

02:03:45.230 --> 02:03:47.146
What is it at this hour, Teacher?

02:03:47.730 --> 02:03:49.105
You know Sowjanya, right?

02:03:49.438 --> 02:03:51.605
- Yes.
- She's with me right now.

02:03:51.896 --> 02:03:52.813
Do you want to come?

02:03:56.813 --> 02:03:58.063
Why not?

02:04:31.021 --> 02:04:31.896
Uncle!

02:04:37.438 --> 02:04:38.355
Uncle!

02:04:44.771 --> 02:04:45.688
Uncle!

02:04:46.605 --> 02:04:47.480
Uncle!

02:04:47.688 --> 02:04:49.063
- Gayatri!
- Hey!

02:04:50.438 --> 02:04:53.896
If a lowly banana seller
can be this cunning,

02:04:53.980 --> 02:04:55.813
imagine what an MLA like me can do!

02:04:56.188 --> 02:04:57.355
What's your problem?

02:04:57.896 --> 02:05:01.271
Besides, if you die now,
who'll perform her last rites?

02:05:03.021 --> 02:05:06.730
Before I chop you to pieces,
see what I do to you now.

02:05:07.563 --> 02:05:08.480
Uncle!

02:05:13.938 --> 02:05:14.813
Gayatri!

02:05:27.855 --> 02:05:28.813
Uncle!

02:05:42.521 --> 02:05:43.730
Hey, stop him!

02:05:56.938 --> 02:05:57.813
Uncle!

02:06:07.730 --> 02:06:09.521
Uncle, Sowji…

02:06:26.563 --> 02:06:28.605
Sowjanya, get up.

02:06:30.521 --> 02:06:31.396
Uncle!

02:06:54.313 --> 02:06:56.521
Madhu, don't let him
walk out alive. Kill him!

02:07:30.605 --> 02:07:32.313
- Hey!
- Hey!

02:07:32.438 --> 02:07:34.355
Take one more step and I'll kill her!

02:07:34.480 --> 02:07:36.563
Hey, back off! Now!

02:07:37.355 --> 02:07:38.355
Don't let him go, dear!

02:07:40.063 --> 02:07:43.355
- Move back or I'll slit her throat!
- Don't let him escape, girls!

02:07:44.855 --> 02:07:48.688
Once you grow up, even your parents
won't lay a hand on you.

02:07:49.730 --> 02:07:53.146
And this monster
wanted to prey upon you.

02:07:56.396 --> 02:07:59.188
Will you kill him
and bury your fear forever,

02:07:59.938 --> 02:08:02.355
or live in fear
for the rest of your lives?

02:08:15.021 --> 02:08:17.730
Die! Just die! Rot in hell!

02:08:24.063 --> 02:08:27.146
Gayatri! Gayatri!

02:08:27.230 --> 02:08:28.521
- Uncle!
- Gayatri!

02:08:29.938 --> 02:08:30.813
You!

02:08:31.021 --> 02:08:33.271
Are you really going to kill an MLA?

02:08:34.146 --> 02:08:35.438
Do you realize the consequences?

02:08:35.813 --> 02:08:37.813
Tomorrow,
my men will invade your village.

02:08:38.605 --> 02:08:39.688
The police will hunt you down.

02:08:39.896 --> 02:08:43.230
Your families, your people, you…
not a single one of you will survive!

02:08:43.688 --> 02:08:46.396
The whole village will be a graveyard!
Is that what you want, huh?

02:08:48.646 --> 02:08:50.146
Why did you stop?

02:08:50.813 --> 02:08:52.021
Are you scared now?

02:08:53.563 --> 02:08:56.521
They'll know only
if they find your severed head.

02:09:09.480 --> 02:09:10.355
Teacher!

02:09:11.896 --> 02:09:12.813
What happened, Teacher?

02:09:18.063 --> 02:09:19.980
Hey, oh no!

02:09:29.021 --> 02:09:31.980
A teacher ranks next to a parent.

02:09:32.521 --> 02:09:35.438
They come to you with burdens
they can't share with their parents.

02:09:35.771 --> 02:09:38.146
And you preyed upon them.

02:09:38.688 --> 02:09:42.021
Not even your shadow
should touch a girl!

02:10:24.605 --> 02:10:26.063
Manikanta, my child.

02:10:26.480 --> 02:10:28.271
Your dad's here.

02:10:28.605 --> 02:10:30.688
Look at him, my dear.

02:10:36.188 --> 02:10:37.813
Manikanta, my child.

02:11:40.271 --> 02:11:41.230
Trinadh.

02:12:52.021 --> 02:12:58.438
<i>Manamma</i>
<i>My precious gem of a soul</i>

02:12:59.688 --> 02:13:06.021
<i>Maayammaa</i>
<i>You're the gold we hold</i>

02:13:07.105 --> 02:13:11.730
<i>Your voice still echoes</i>
<i>Through these winds</i>

02:13:12.271 --> 02:13:16.646
<i>Your hopes still breathe</i>
<i>Within our souls</i>

02:13:17.313 --> 02:13:21.688
<i>Your name is etched</i>
<i>Upon these paths</i>

02:13:22.355 --> 02:13:26.771
<i>What must we do to</i>
<i>Bring you home?</i>

02:13:37.438 --> 02:13:41.855
<i>Which nest have you flown to</i>
<i>Little bird?</i>

02:13:42.230 --> 02:13:47.355
<i>Today, your song lives on</i>
<i>In every branch.</i>

02:13:47.521 --> 02:13:52.021
<i>In which home have you</i>
<i>Blossomed, dear?</i>

02:13:52.313 --> 02:13:55.813
<i>Look, your flowers</i>
<i>Bloom on every bough.</i>

02:13:55.896 --> 02:13:58.105
He loved her more than
anything in the world.

02:13:59.105 --> 02:14:00.480
She left him so suddenly.

02:14:01.771 --> 02:14:02.938
She hasn't gone anywhere.

02:14:04.605 --> 02:14:11.105
In my daughter… and in the future
of every girl standing here,

02:14:11.938 --> 02:14:15.438
<i>- Narayana! Narayana!</i>
- Manikanta!

02:14:15.521 --> 02:14:17.980
- Narayana! Narayana!
- Manikanta!

02:14:40.771 --> 02:14:42.813
<i>At every turn in the story of time</i>

02:14:43.230 --> 02:14:47.646
<i>In history's pages</i>
<i>In memory's arms</i>

02:14:48.188 --> 02:14:50.396
<i>We will remember you, forevermore</i>

02:14:50.730 --> 02:14:52.855
<i>In the tale that fate has written</i>

02:14:53.396 --> 02:14:55.813
<i>- This is not the final chapter</i>
- Dad!

02:14:55.896 --> 02:14:58.355
<i>In the battle that rises again</i>

02:14:58.438 --> 02:15:00.438
<i>This is where the first step begins</i>

02:15:00.938 --> 02:15:05.396
<i>Every coin has two sides</i>
<i>My precious one</i>

02:15:05.855 --> 02:15:10.438
<i>But truth has never</i>
<i>Had a second side</i>

02:15:11.063 --> 02:15:15.605
<i>My precious child</i>
<i>Born from this father's heart</i>

02:15:15.980 --> 02:15:18.188
<i>- This witness stands as</i>
- Mani!

02:15:18.271 --> 02:15:20.313
<i>- Proof of your courage</i>
- Manikanta!

02:15:20.396 --> 02:15:22.938
- Manikanta!
- Mani!

02:15:23.938 --> 02:15:24.896
Mani!

02:15:25.188 --> 02:15:29.688
<i>Immortal in the heavens</i>

02:15:30.438 --> 02:15:34.730
<i>Your battle along the way</i>

02:15:35.438 --> 02:15:39.771
<i>Immortal in the heavens</i>

02:15:41.230 --> 02:15:45.563
<i>Which nest have you flown to</i>
<i>Little bird?</i>

02:15:45.980 --> 02:15:50.896
<i>Today, your song lives</i>
<i>On in every branch</i>

02:15:51.396 --> 02:15:55.855
<i>In which home</i>
<i>Have you blossomed, dear?</i>

02:15:56.105 --> 02:16:00.813
<i>Look, your flowers</i>
<i>Bloom on every bough</i>

02:16:10.771 --> 02:16:13.521
THREE KARTHIKA MONTHS LATER

02:16:30.771 --> 02:16:31.688
Greetings, Mother!

02:16:32.980 --> 02:16:34.146
Is Guru Swamy Trinadh home?

02:16:35.146 --> 02:16:36.271
He's at the temple, Swamy.

02:16:39.313 --> 02:16:41.938
Om Shri Swamiye Sharanam Ayyappa!

02:16:42.063 --> 02:16:44.396
Son of Hari and Hara!
Sharanam Ayyappa!

02:16:44.688 --> 02:16:47.188
Protector in times of distress,
praise to You, O Lord Ayyappa.

02:16:47.563 --> 02:16:49.896
Guardian of the helpless,
praise to You, O Lord Ayyappa.

02:16:50.188 --> 02:16:51.896
- Om Shri Swamiye--
- Guru Swamy!

02:16:54.771 --> 02:16:56.896
Someone from Rajahmundry
is here to see you.

02:17:00.021 --> 02:17:02.563
I'm taking my daughter
to Sabarimala for the first time.

02:17:03.021 --> 02:17:04.855
It would be a blessing
if you tied her <i>Irumudi.</i>

02:17:08.646 --> 02:17:09.563
Where's our little Ayyappa?

02:17:09.855 --> 02:17:10.938
Did you tell them, Mother?

02:17:11.021 --> 02:17:12.230
- Manikanta, dear.
- Yes, I did.

02:17:12.521 --> 02:17:13.938
- Yes, Swamy?
- Come here.

02:17:14.063 --> 02:17:14.938
Yes.

02:17:25.771 --> 02:17:27.813
What's wrong, Guru Swamy?

02:17:28.355 --> 02:17:30.230
It's me, your Manamma.

02:17:32.396 --> 02:17:36.355
How can you lose yourself
in grief over me like this?

02:17:37.188 --> 02:17:41.605
I never left your side, Dad.

02:17:42.688 --> 02:17:44.855
I'll live on in the vow you keep.

02:17:45.563 --> 02:17:47.938
I'll be in every <i>Irumudi</i> you tie.

02:17:50.480 --> 02:17:53.605
I entered your life for a reason.

02:17:54.355 --> 02:17:57.938
When the time is right,
I'll return as your child, Swamy.

02:18:00.355 --> 02:18:03.230
It's getting late. Lift the <i>Irumudi!</i>

02:18:04.313 --> 02:18:06.813
<i>Ayyappa! Ayyappa!</i>

02:18:06.938 --> 02:18:09.313
<i>Ayyappa! Ayyappa!</i>

02:18:09.605 --> 02:18:14.480
<i>Ayyappo! Ayyappo!</i>

02:18:14.563 --> 02:18:16.438
Swamiye Sharanam Ayyappa!

02:18:25.605 --> 02:18:30.730
<i>Ayyappa! Ayyappa!</i>

02:18:30.896 --> 02:18:36.146
<i>Ayyappo! Ayyappo!</i>
