WEBVTT

00:10.188 --> 00:11.608
But you know

00:11.688 --> 00:14.608
that the land was set aside by Kathawa
for the Goddess Makwathi temple.

00:14.688 --> 00:16.518
The situation has changed.

00:17.146 --> 00:20.436
As per our priestess,
that land is very auspicious for Malemar.

00:21.271 --> 00:23.561
If Malemar progresses, so does Kathawa.

00:24.938 --> 00:28.688
Anyway, our house goddess Rakturthi
must be given prominence in Pernuru.

00:29.855 --> 00:32.225
Rakturthi will be consecrated there.

00:55.063 --> 00:57.363
A forest officer
has seized our sandalwood.

00:58.771 --> 01:00.231
He is demanding a ransom.

01:00.313 --> 01:01.773
Get your girls ready.

01:02.938 --> 01:05.858
My people have refused to fight
for Malemar, <i>Akka.</i>

01:07.521 --> 01:11.441
Unless they get this land back
for Goddess Makwathi's temple.

01:18.230 --> 01:22.520
You know, many gangs in Bombay
are eager to associate with Malemar.

01:23.938 --> 01:27.688
I don't like those people,
but I like their passion…

01:31.771 --> 01:33.941
which I once saw
in the eyes of Kathawa women.

01:35.271 --> 01:37.361
Perhaps there's no regard left

01:37.438 --> 01:40.108
for the fact that Malemar armed Kathawa.

01:40.188 --> 01:44.768
Kathawa considers your decision to be
an insult to the Goddess Makwathi, <i>Akka.</i>

01:47.146 --> 01:48.186
And I do too.

01:48.271 --> 01:51.611
Goddess Rakturthi brought us
to these lands centuries ago.

01:52.646 --> 01:55.436
For us, the entirety of Pernuru
is Rakturthi's temple.

01:57.105 --> 02:00.855
- You Kathawa people won't ever get it.
- And you couldn't get one thing too.

02:01.688 --> 02:04.108
We didn't become warriors
because you gave us guns.

02:04.688 --> 02:06.558
Bravery runs in our blood.

02:06.646 --> 02:10.516
Because of which your house
has been victorious, <i>Akka.</i>

02:15.771 --> 02:20.151
I had planned to sweeten your mouth today
on the occasion of Duggamma's birthday,

02:21.480 --> 02:24.610
but the Kathawa people
have left a bitter taste in mine.

02:31.146 --> 02:34.266
Everything has an end, Guruamma.

02:36.105 --> 02:38.855
And today is the end
of Kathawa from Malemar.

02:42.730 --> 02:45.980
<i>That day, the warrior women of Kathawa</i>

02:46.063 --> 02:48.773
<i>were expelled from the houses forever.</i>

04:03.271 --> 04:05.981
I wonder if it's your beauty
which has distracted me

04:08.355 --> 04:09.645
from your ruthlessness.

04:14.688 --> 04:16.558
I didn't want to get Babu killed.

04:17.855 --> 04:19.975
I just knew that if Babu was killed,

04:20.938 --> 04:22.808
the sisters would pay a price.

04:27.021 --> 04:28.811
Anyways, we got what we desired.

04:30.938 --> 04:32.148
An Arrack licence for me

04:33.188 --> 04:34.688
and smuggling routes for you.

04:38.021 --> 04:39.191
Yes, we got that,

04:40.480 --> 04:42.610
but honestly, I'm enjoying it a lot.

04:45.605 --> 04:47.805
Let's tread this path some more.

04:51.188 --> 04:54.478
A girl who could have
been queen, but wasn't.

04:57.146 --> 04:59.976
Now I know where the burning desire
and ambition comes from.

05:06.480 --> 05:07.400
What now?

05:09.480 --> 05:11.980
It's time to end the reign of the sisters.

05:19.521 --> 05:23.941
It's time to fight now.
Go and claim what is rightfully yours.

05:24.563 --> 05:27.023
End this ruse of matriarchy.

05:27.688 --> 05:30.148
From now on, you rule Pernuru

05:30.980 --> 05:35.440
and you'll rule all these lands
with the rights of the gods.

05:43.438 --> 05:46.228
It is the end of the sins
committed by the sisters.

05:46.855 --> 05:50.515
The entire system of matriarchy
is a symbol of backwardness.

05:51.396 --> 05:52.646
Staying unmarried,

05:53.313 --> 05:55.273
having illicit relations,

05:55.355 --> 05:56.975
they've always committed
these heinous acts.

05:57.813 --> 05:59.693
It is time now to again establish

05:59.771 --> 06:02.731
the ideas of faith and dignity.

06:02.813 --> 06:05.983
Women have to become
the foundation of purity again.

06:08.980 --> 06:10.980
Amar, Tarnath <i>Anna</i>

06:11.605 --> 06:12.725
and Nanda,

06:12.813 --> 06:17.773
they will be the heads of the houses
of Perplady, Herkada and Malemar.

06:17.855 --> 06:21.895
And will carry out their duties under
the guidance and permission of the gods.

06:23.438 --> 06:26.978
With this declaration,
we change the customs of the houses

06:28.188 --> 06:30.688
from mother-daughter to father-son.

06:50.146 --> 06:53.186
They saw Nanda take Rakthurtti's mask
from the swing yesterday.

06:54.646 --> 06:57.106
And some of our people have joined him.

06:59.980 --> 07:01.730
With the loss of Rakturthi's mask,

07:02.980 --> 07:04.980
we have lost the symbol of our respect,

07:05.855 --> 07:08.435
and the right to be the <i>Akka</i> of the house.

07:10.980 --> 07:12.310
When the news spreads

07:12.855 --> 07:15.145
that Rakturthi
is no longer present in the house,

07:15.938 --> 07:17.728
more people will leave us.

07:20.021 --> 07:21.021
<i>Akka,</i>

07:21.771 --> 07:23.361
the temple has issued a proclamation.

07:23.438 --> 07:25.558
The entire village has been requested

07:25.646 --> 07:27.856
to offer coconuts
and betel leaves in the temple

07:28.521 --> 07:30.811
to accept the new head of Malemar.

07:32.480 --> 07:34.110
Who's the new head of Malemar?

07:34.813 --> 07:35.813
Nanda <i>Anna.</i>

07:39.105 --> 07:40.355
And Amar and Tarnath <i>Anna</i>

07:40.438 --> 07:42.728
have taken over Perplady and Herkada.

07:52.688 --> 07:55.688
We also got news
that they're coming here next.

07:58.438 --> 08:00.608
We don't have people to protect us.

08:02.063 --> 08:05.153
We can't save Perplady and Herkada,
even if we want to.

08:22.355 --> 08:23.725
I know a place

08:24.855 --> 08:26.435
where we can get help.

09:02.938 --> 09:04.058
Hail Makwathi.

09:06.896 --> 09:09.856
We have two ancient statues
of the goddess in this temple, Bhavani.

09:13.355 --> 09:14.855
Here, the goddess

09:14.938 --> 09:17.018
is present in her usual, beautiful

09:17.105 --> 09:19.105
and peaceful manifestation.

09:20.146 --> 09:21.306
And at the back,

09:21.396 --> 09:26.226
is Makwathi's fearsome, destructive
and vengeful manifestation.

09:34.563 --> 09:36.653
- Chameri.
- Guruamma.

09:41.605 --> 09:44.145
Actually its the blessing
of the goddess in the back I come to seek.

09:46.021 --> 09:47.311
Come.

10:08.521 --> 10:10.811
Once upon a time, 300 of your ancestors

10:10.896 --> 10:14.396
fought as archers in the army
of the queen of this land.

10:15.980 --> 10:19.190
I'm here to request the descendants
of those women

10:20.063 --> 10:22.943
to once again help us defend our land.

10:23.605 --> 10:25.355
But what did Mutthakka do?

10:25.438 --> 10:29.018
<i>She banished us from the community</i>
<i>and exiled us to the forests,</i>

10:29.105 --> 10:31.805
<i>where we had to hunt to stay alive.</i>

10:32.313 --> 10:35.193
Nobody took care of the goddess
in our absence.

10:36.271 --> 10:39.611
While once, there were 20 temples between

10:39.688 --> 10:42.858
the Payaswini and Netravati rivers,
there remains only one now.

10:44.355 --> 10:46.395
But today you seek help from the goddess

10:46.480 --> 10:48.900
whom your mother abandoned years ago?

10:50.521 --> 10:52.611
Help us fight our enemy,

10:53.438 --> 10:56.018
and I vow on Goddess Rakturthi

10:56.105 --> 10:59.765
that Kathawa women and their goddess
will be restored to their rightful place.

11:00.563 --> 11:03.693
It's not the first time Kathawa women
have been promised something.

11:05.396 --> 11:08.186
We are used to seeing things as they are,

11:08.771 --> 11:10.401
and not how they should be.

11:10.480 --> 11:12.310
But they need our help.

11:19.105 --> 11:21.185
We have accepted our reality, <i>Akka.</i>

11:21.980 --> 11:24.400
And we're very happy
in the refuge of this temple.

11:26.855 --> 11:30.765
I'll pray that Goddess Makwathi
protects all of you.

13:15.438 --> 13:17.018
Is this all that's left of the sisters?

13:18.271 --> 13:21.271
Only a depraved woman like you
could do such a thing.

13:21.355 --> 13:23.145
I'm no different than you sisters.

13:24.438 --> 13:27.058
I will do anything
for my benefit and protection.

13:28.396 --> 13:31.436
You sisters have done the same
all your life. Right?

13:32.980 --> 13:35.650
Our sisterhood stands for something bigger
than one's personal ambition.

13:35.730 --> 13:38.230
Your sisterhood cares about no one.

13:39.188 --> 13:41.688
The stories that you tell about yourself,

13:42.605 --> 13:43.935
do you even believe it?

13:45.313 --> 13:48.813
You are used to making up stories
to cover your mistakes.

13:50.396 --> 13:54.186
The truth is that this sisterhood
is just a pretense

13:54.271 --> 13:55.441
to rule.

13:57.063 --> 13:59.523
Don't blame me for your shortcomings.

14:00.355 --> 14:02.895
I'm just here to expose the truth.

14:04.271 --> 14:05.231
No.

14:06.605 --> 14:08.015
You are here to die.

14:33.188 --> 14:36.188
The fear of being disappointed
cannot be an excuse not to trust.

14:38.063 --> 14:39.523
She's different from the others.

14:40.646 --> 14:43.646
She'll help the Kathawa women
get their respect back.

14:55.271 --> 14:56.111
<i>Akka.</i>

14:57.813 --> 15:00.313
We may not be as strong as them,

15:01.688 --> 15:03.898
but we are surely more clever.

15:49.980 --> 15:56.060
Goddess, please accept
our offering and protect us.

16:05.646 --> 16:06.646
No.

16:08.021 --> 16:09.441
You are here to die.

17:08.355 --> 17:10.395
Hide behind your men and press on.

17:24.855 --> 17:27.225
Those bloody Kathawa girls.

19:18.730 --> 19:19.730
What?

19:20.605 --> 19:21.725
Go inside, assholes!

19:24.688 --> 19:25.558
Fuckers.

21:08.355 --> 21:09.185
No, no…

21:34.938 --> 21:36.518
Don't even think about it.

21:45.063 --> 21:46.563
You had me fooled.

21:48.063 --> 21:53.613
But then you got the Kathawa women
to do your dirty work, like always.

21:55.646 --> 21:57.646
But I will kill you myself.

22:08.813 --> 22:09.653
Kill her.

22:12.730 --> 22:14.770
You don't have to do that.

22:18.730 --> 22:20.400
Babu was a fool

22:20.480 --> 22:22.980
to trust the words of a woman

22:23.063 --> 22:25.613
who cares about no one but herself.

22:27.855 --> 22:30.975
Don't give up your life
for a person who doesn't value you.

23:18.605 --> 23:19.645
<i>Akka,</i>

23:21.105 --> 23:22.355
forgive me.

23:23.480 --> 23:25.110
Your house is in a mess.

23:26.980 --> 23:29.480
You should not have
dragged Kaveri into this.

23:47.063 --> 23:48.813
That is the only thing, <i>Akka,</i>

23:52.230 --> 23:53.980
that I will always regret.

24:05.271 --> 24:06.111
I…

24:34.313 --> 24:36.193
It's all over for you.

24:37.480 --> 24:39.690
We have reclaimed our houses

24:39.771 --> 24:41.771
and Rakturthi is coming back to Malemar.

24:42.813 --> 24:45.233
All your efforts have gone to waste.

24:46.521 --> 24:49.111
And the sisterhood will continue
like it always has.

24:52.271 --> 24:55.521
You thought all this
was about your houses and those gods?

24:57.771 --> 24:59.861
My fight was with the women of the houses.

25:01.438 --> 25:04.358
I have ended the houses
by eliminating the women.

25:04.438 --> 25:06.018
I'm still alive.

25:06.105 --> 25:07.305
Yes, you are.

25:08.438 --> 25:11.518
But very soon you'll wish you weren't.

25:18.771 --> 25:19.771
Where is Nanda?

25:21.105 --> 25:24.355
Some people
have a slow-burning anger in them.

25:25.563 --> 25:27.773
You should watch out for such people.

25:28.438 --> 25:29.898
What did you do to him?

25:30.605 --> 25:34.605
You break a man
by breaking something that he loves.

25:36.146 --> 25:38.766
And I broke him
by showing him your true face.

25:40.896 --> 25:42.356
Don't you have a heart?

25:43.146 --> 25:44.226
He is your brother.

25:44.313 --> 25:45.403
I do have a heart,

25:46.813 --> 25:49.363
but it is not so weak
to get swayed by emotions.

25:50.605 --> 25:52.185
Nanda is not like you.

25:53.230 --> 25:55.400
I've had a gift since childhood.

25:56.813 --> 25:58.693
I can see a person's true nature.

26:02.021 --> 26:04.771
And I can sense hatred from far away.

26:06.646 --> 26:09.226
No one has ever found happiness
after betraying me.

26:11.771 --> 26:14.771
Even if I stare death in the face,
I'll have my revenge.

26:17.521 --> 26:19.021
It's not your fault.

26:26.771 --> 26:28.811
It's all the doing of your ancestors,

26:30.730 --> 26:32.150
which you're paying for.

26:33.521 --> 26:35.651
When you have once habituated
yourself to death,

26:36.730 --> 26:38.940
dying becomes easy.

27:18.646 --> 27:23.766
Someone saw Nanda with Mallika's daughter
near the Perplady beach.

27:26.688 --> 27:28.228
I know where he is.

27:29.271 --> 27:30.361
Bhavani.

27:34.271 --> 27:35.521
I'm sorry…

27:37.813 --> 27:39.193
for what you must do.

27:42.605 --> 27:45.265
Once upon a time, these three houses
were worth dying for.

27:46.855 --> 27:48.475
Now, they only take lives.

27:51.230 --> 27:53.270
The houses, the sisters,

27:54.938 --> 27:57.608
we have to give justice
to so many people, <i>Akka.</i>

27:59.688 --> 28:02.558
We have to correct
many mistakes of the past.

28:32.521 --> 28:34.401
Like you, she too likes the sea.

28:36.563 --> 28:37.983
Give me the child, Nanda.

28:55.480 --> 28:56.770
When she grows up,

28:58.105 --> 29:00.725
will she know of all the betrayal
caused by people for her sake?

29:01.896 --> 29:03.306
How much blood was spilled?

29:05.105 --> 29:07.555
She'll only know what she is taught.

29:10.105 --> 29:12.395
So the web of lies will continue.

29:17.896 --> 29:19.686
You broke my heart, Bhavani.

29:21.230 --> 29:22.900
I'm sorry that you got hurt.

29:24.980 --> 29:27.610
But I never wanted to hurt you.

29:27.688 --> 29:30.268
I know that you have
no expectations from me anymore,

29:30.355 --> 29:32.475
but stop lying to yourself at least.

29:34.480 --> 29:36.480
I just wanted a little respect.

29:39.271 --> 29:40.401
And what did you do?

29:41.521 --> 29:43.111
I didn't do anything, Nanda.

29:48.688 --> 29:50.148
I couldn't do it.

30:11.563 --> 30:14.273
<i>If you really loved me,</i>
<i>you'd have understood</i>

30:14.355 --> 30:17.765
that I could never betray you.

30:28.355 --> 30:32.855
I dreamt of spending my life with you.

30:37.980 --> 30:40.560
But you broke both…

30:43.480 --> 30:44.730
my dream and my heart.

31:37.271 --> 31:38.811
We always loved the sea,

31:41.021 --> 31:42.271
so right here is good.

32:25.938 --> 32:27.438
Once upon a time,

32:28.855 --> 32:31.855
we were known as the queendom of women.

32:33.230 --> 32:36.060
By the blessings
of the goddess of war, Makwathi,

32:37.021 --> 32:38.731
hundreds of our queens

32:39.563 --> 32:40.983
ruled this land.

32:43.938 --> 32:46.438
Today, we are here to consecrate Makwathi

32:47.105 --> 32:50.515
as the patron goddess of the matriarchs

32:50.605 --> 32:52.395
of Pernuru once again.

32:54.438 --> 32:58.728
And we are also here to fulfil a promise.

33:00.313 --> 33:01.613
For that,

33:01.688 --> 33:05.058
I call upon the heads of
the Kathawa and Yeruma communities.

33:23.855 --> 33:28.725
With our Goddess Rakturthi
and Goddess Makwathi as witnesses,

33:28.813 --> 33:31.273
I include the Kathawa
and Yeruma communities

33:31.938 --> 33:34.518
into the sisterhood of Pernuru.

33:50.480 --> 33:54.480
I give the Herkada house
to the women of Kathawa

33:56.021 --> 34:00.901
and the Perplady house
to the women of Yeruma.

34:14.271 --> 34:15.401
And finally,

34:16.563 --> 34:18.563
we announce Subbamma's granddaughter

34:19.313 --> 34:20.943
and Mallika's daughter

34:21.688 --> 34:24.438
as the future head

34:25.021 --> 34:26.361
of the Malemar house.

34:48.313 --> 34:51.023
And as head of the Malemar house,

34:52.105 --> 34:53.935
she will take the name…

35:02.355 --> 35:06.435
Shankar <i>Anna,</i> we never wanted war.

35:07.105 --> 35:11.055
But it was you
who brought this war to our land.

35:11.980 --> 35:16.020
<i>Now, I will cross over to your shores.</i>

35:25.480 --> 35:28.190
This girl has a fire in her.

35:30.313 --> 35:32.273
It's not blood that flows in her veins,

35:33.438 --> 35:34.938
but a blazing flame.

35:36.646 --> 35:38.106
But she is not aware

35:38.896 --> 35:40.266
that I carry

35:41.521 --> 35:42.861
the same fire within me.

35:44.480 --> 35:45.560
Because I

35:47.105 --> 35:48.265
am her father,

35:49.938 --> 35:53.438
and she… is my daughter.

36:09.355 --> 36:10.855
Now Bhavani will know…

36:13.313 --> 36:15.653
who the real father of Pernuru is.

38:22.271 --> 38:27.271
