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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:01:00.313 --> 00:01:01.773 align:center
Get your girls ready.

00:01:02.938 --> 00:01:05.858 align:center
My people have refused to fight
for Malemar, <i>Akka.</i>

00:01:07.521 --> 00:01:11.441 align:center
Unless they get this land back
for Goddess Makwathi's temple.

00:01:18.230 --> 00:01:22.520 align:center
You know, many gangs in Bombay
are eager to associate with Malemar.

00:01:23.938 --> 00:01:27.688 align:center
I don't like those people,
but I like their passion…

00:01:31.771 --> 00:01:33.941 align:center
which I once saw
in the eyes of Kathawa women.

00:01:35.271 --> 00:01:37.361 align:center
Perhaps there's no regard left

00:01:37.438 --> 00:01:40.108 align:center
for the fact that Malemar armed Kathawa.

00:01:40.188 --> 00:01:44.768 align:center
Kathawa considers your decision to be
an insult to the Goddess Makwathi, <i>Akka.</i>

00:01:47.146 --> 00:01:48.186 align:center
And I do too.

00:01:48.271 --> 00:01:51.611 align:center
Goddess Rakturthi brought us
to these lands centuries ago.

00:01:52.646 --> 00:01:55.436 align:center
For us, the entirety of Pernuru
is Rakturthi's temple.

00:01:57.105 --> 00:02:00.855 align:center
- You Kathawa people won't ever get it.
- And you couldn't get one thing too.

00:02:01.688 --> 00:02:04.108 align:center
We didn't become warriors
because you gave us guns.

00:02:04.688 --> 00:02:06.558 align:center
Bravery runs in our blood.

00:02:06.646 --> 00:02:10.516 align:center
Because of which your house
has been victorious, <i>Akka.</i>

00:02:15.771 --> 00:02:20.151 align:center
I had planned to sweeten your mouth today
on the occasion of Duggamma's birthday,

00:02:21.480 --> 00:02:24.610 align:center
but the Kathawa people
have left a bitter taste in mine.

00:02:31.146 --> 00:02:34.266 align:center
Everything has an end, Guruamma.

00:02:36.105 --> 00:02:38.855 align:center
And today is the end
of Kathawa from Malemar.

00:02:42.730 --> 00:02:45.980 align:center
<i>That day, the warrior women of Kathawa</i>

00:02:46.063 --> 00:02:48.773 align:center
<i>were expelled from the houses forever.</i>

00:04:03.271 --> 00:04:05.981 align:center
I wonder if it's your beauty
which has distracted me

00:04:08.355 --> 00:04:09.645 align:center
from your ruthlessness.

00:04:14.688 --> 00:04:16.558 align:center
I didn't want to get Babu killed.

00:04:17.855 --> 00:04:19.975 align:center
I just knew that if Babu was killed,

00:04:20.938 --> 00:04:22.808 align:center
the sisters would pay a price.

00:04:27.021 --> 00:04:28.811 align:center
Anyways, we got what we desired.

00:04:30.938 --> 00:04:32.148 align:center
An Arrack licence for me

00:04:33.188 --> 00:04:34.688 align:center
and smuggling routes for you.

00:04:38.021 --> 00:04:39.191 align:center
Yes, we got that,

00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:42.610 align:center
but honestly, I'm enjoying it a lot.

00:04:45.605 --> 00:04:47.805 align:center
Let's tread this path some more.

00:04:51.188 --> 00:04:54.478 align:center
A girl who could have
been queen, but wasn't.

00:04:57.146 --> 00:04:59.976 align:center
Now I know where the burning desire
and ambition comes from.

00:05:06.480 --> 00:05:07.400 align:center
What now?

00:05:09.480 --> 00:05:11.980 align:center
It's time to end the reign of the sisters.

00:05:19.521 --> 00:05:23.941 align:center
It's time to fight now.
Go and claim what is rightfully yours.

00:05:24.563 --> 00:05:27.023 align:center
End this ruse of matriarchy.

00:05:27.688 --> 00:05:30.148 align:center
From now on, you rule Pernuru

00:05:30.980 --> 00:05:35.440 align:center
and you'll rule all these lands
with the rights of the gods.

00:05:43.438 --> 00:05:46.228 align:center
It is the end of the sins
committed by the sisters.

00:05:46.855 --> 00:05:50.515 align:center
The entire system of matriarchy
is a symbol of backwardness.

00:05:51.396 --> 00:05:52.646 align:center
Staying unmarried,

00:05:53.313 --> 00:05:55.273 align:center
having illicit relations,

00:05:55.355 --> 00:05:56.975 align:center
they've always committed
these heinous acts.

00:05:57.813 --> 00:05:59.693 align:center
It is time now to again establish

00:05:59.771 --> 00:06:02.731 align:center
the ideas of faith and dignity.

00:06:02.813 --> 00:06:05.983 align:center
Women have to become
the foundation of purity again.

00:06:08.980 --> 00:06:10.980 align:center
Amar, Tarnath <i>Anna</i>

00:06:11.605 --> 00:06:12.725 align:center
and Nanda,

00:06:12.813 --> 00:06:17.773 align:center
they will be the heads of the houses
of Perplady, Herkada and Malemar.

00:06:17.855 --> 00:06:21.895 align:center
And will carry out their duties under
the guidance and permission of the gods.

00:06:23.438 --> 00:06:26.978 align:center
With this declaration,
we change the customs of the houses

00:06:28.188 --> 00:06:30.688 align:center
from mother-daughter to father-son.

00:06:50.146 --> 00:06:53.186 align:center
They saw Nanda take Rakthurtti's mask
from the swing yesterday.

00:06:54.646 --> 00:06:57.106 align:center
And some of our people have joined him.

00:06:59.980 --> 00:07:01.730 align:center
With the loss of Rakturthi's mask,

00:07:02.980 --> 00:07:04.980 align:center
we have lost the symbol of our respect,

00:07:05.855 --> 00:07:08.435 align:center
and the right to be the <i>Akka</i> of the house.

00:07:10.980 --> 00:07:12.310 align:center
When the news spreads

00:07:12.855 --> 00:07:15.145 align:center
that Rakturthi
is no longer present in the house,

00:07:15.938 --> 00:07:17.728 align:center
more people will leave us.

00:07:20.021 --> 00:07:21.021 align:center
<i>Akka,</i>

00:07:21.771 --> 00:07:23.361 align:center
the temple has issued a proclamation.

00:07:23.438 --> 00:07:25.558 align:center
The entire village has been requested

00:07:25.646 --> 00:07:27.856 align:center
to offer coconuts
and betel leaves in the temple

00:07:28.521 --> 00:07:30.811 align:center
to accept the new head of Malemar.

00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:34.110 align:center
Who's the new head of Malemar?

00:07:34.813 --> 00:07:35.813 align:center
Nanda <i>Anna.</i>

00:07:39.105 --> 00:07:40.355 align:center
And Amar and Tarnath <i>Anna</i>

00:07:40.438 --> 00:07:42.728 align:center
have taken over Perplady and Herkada.

00:07:52.688 --> 00:07:55.688 align:center
We also got news
that they're coming here next.

00:07:58.438 --> 00:08:00.608 align:center
We don't have people to protect us.

00:08:02.063 --> 00:08:05.153 align:center
We can't save Perplady and Herkada,
even if we want to.

00:08:22.355 --> 00:08:23.725 align:center
I know a place

00:08:24.855 --> 00:08:26.435 align:center
where we can get help.

00:09:02.938 --> 00:09:04.058 align:center
Hail Makwathi.

00:09:06.896 --> 00:09:09.856 align:center
We have two ancient statues
of the goddess in this temple, Bhavani.

00:09:13.355 --> 00:09:14.855 align:center
Here, the goddess

00:09:14.938 --> 00:09:17.018 align:center
is present in her usual, beautiful

00:09:17.105 --> 00:09:19.105 align:center
and peaceful manifestation.

00:09:20.146 --> 00:09:21.306 align:center
And at the back,

00:09:21.396 --> 00:09:26.226 align:center
is Makwathi's fearsome, destructive
and vengeful manifestation.

00:09:34.563 --> 00:09:36.653 align:center
- Chameri.
- Guruamma.

00:09:41.605 --> 00:09:44.145 align:center
Actually its the blessing
of the goddess in the back I come to seek.

00:09:46.021 --> 00:09:47.311 align:center
Come.

00:10:08.521 --> 00:10:10.811 align:center
Once upon a time, 300 of your ancestors

00:10:10.896 --> 00:10:14.396 align:center
fought as archers in the army
of the queen of this land.

00:10:15.980 --> 00:10:19.190 align:center
I'm here to request the descendants
of those women

00:10:20.063 --> 00:10:22.943 align:center
to once again help us defend our land.

00:10:23.605 --> 00:10:25.355 align:center
But what did Mutthakka do?

00:10:25.438 --> 00:10:29.018 align:center
<i>She banished us from the community</i>
<i>and exiled us to the forests,</i>

00:10:29.105 --> 00:10:31.805 align:center
<i>where we had to hunt to stay alive.</i>

00:10:32.313 --> 00:10:35.193 align:center
Nobody took care of the goddess
in our absence.

00:10:36.271 --> 00:10:39.611 align:center
While once, there were 20 temples between

00:10:39.688 --> 00:10:42.858 align:center
the Payaswini and Netravati rivers,
there remains only one now.

00:10:44.355 --> 00:10:46.395 align:center
But today you seek help from the goddess

00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:48.900 align:center
whom your mother abandoned years ago?

00:10:50.521 --> 00:10:52.611 align:center
Help us fight our enemy,

00:10:53.438 --> 00:10:56.018 align:center
and I vow on Goddess Rakturthi

00:10:56.105 --> 00:10:59.765 align:center
that Kathawa women and their goddess
will be restored to their rightful place.

00:11:00.563 --> 00:11:03.693 align:center
It's not the first time Kathawa women
have been promised something.

00:11:05.396 --> 00:11:08.186 align:center
We are used to seeing things as they are,

00:11:08.771 --> 00:11:10.401 align:center
and not how they should be.

00:11:10.480 --> 00:11:12.310 align:center
But they need our help.

00:11:19.105 --> 00:11:21.185 align:center
We have accepted our reality, <i>Akka.</i>

00:11:21.980 --> 00:11:24.400 align:center
And we're very happy
in the refuge of this temple.

00:11:26.855 --> 00:11:30.765 align:center
I'll pray that Goddess Makwathi
protects all of you.

00:13:15.438 --> 00:13:17.018 align:center
Is this all that's left of the sisters?

00:13:18.271 --> 00:13:21.271 align:center
Only a depraved woman like you
could do such a thing.

00:13:21.355 --> 00:13:23.145 align:center
I'm no different than you sisters.

00:13:24.438 --> 00:13:27.058 align:center
I will do anything
for my benefit and protection.

00:13:28.396 --> 00:13:31.436 align:center
You sisters have done the same
all your life. Right?

00:13:32.980 --> 00:13:35.650 align:center
Our sisterhood stands for something bigger
than one's personal ambition.

00:13:35.730 --> 00:13:38.230 align:center
Your sisterhood cares about no one.

00:13:39.188 --> 00:13:41.688 align:center
The stories that you tell about yourself,

00:13:42.605 --> 00:13:43.935 align:center
do you even believe it?

00:13:45.313 --> 00:13:48.813 align:center
You are used to making up stories
to cover your mistakes.

00:13:50.396 --> 00:13:54.186 align:center
The truth is that this sisterhood
is just a pretense

00:13:54.271 --> 00:13:55.441 align:center
to rule.

00:13:57.063 --> 00:13:59.523 align:center
Don't blame me for your shortcomings.

00:14:00.355 --> 00:14:02.895 align:center
I'm just here to expose the truth.

00:14:04.271 --> 00:14:05.231 align:center
No.

00:14:06.605 --> 00:14:08.015 align:center
You are here to die.

00:14:33.188 --> 00:14:36.188 align:center
The fear of being disappointed
cannot be an excuse not to trust.

00:14:38.063 --> 00:14:39.523 align:center
She's different from the others.

00:14:40.646 --> 00:14:43.646 align:center
She'll help the Kathawa women
get their respect back.

00:14:55.271 --> 00:14:56.111 align:center
<i>Akka.</i>

00:14:57.813 --> 00:15:00.313 align:center
We may not be as strong as them,

00:15:01.688 --> 00:15:03.898 align:center
but we are surely more clever.

00:15:49.980 --> 00:15:56.060 align:center
Goddess, please accept
our offering and protect us.

00:16:05.646 --> 00:16:06.646 align:center
No.

00:16:08.021 --> 00:16:09.441 align:center
You are here to die.

00:17:08.355 --> 00:17:10.395 align:center
Hide behind your men and press on.

00:17:24.855 --> 00:17:27.225 align:center
Those bloody Kathawa girls.

00:19:18.730 --> 00:19:19.730 align:center
What?

00:19:20.605 --> 00:19:21.725 align:center
Go inside, assholes!

00:19:24.688 --> 00:19:25.558 align:center
Fuckers.

00:21:08.355 --> 00:21:09.185 align:center
No, no…

00:21:34.938 --> 00:21:36.518 align:center
Don't even think about it.

00:21:45.063 --> 00:21:46.563 align:center
You had me fooled.

00:21:48.063 --> 00:21:53.613 align:center
But then you got the Kathawa women
to do your dirty work, like always.

00:21:55.646 --> 00:21:57.646 align:center
But I will kill you myself.

00:22:08.813 --> 00:22:09.653 align:center
Kill her.

00:22:12.730 --> 00:22:14.770 align:center
You don't have to do that.

00:22:18.730 --> 00:22:20.400 align:center
Babu was a fool

00:22:20.480 --> 00:22:22.980 align:center
to trust the words of a woman

00:22:23.063 --> 00:22:25.613 align:center
who cares about no one but herself.

00:22:27.855 --> 00:22:30.975 align:center
Don't give up your life
for a person who doesn't value you.

00:23:18.605 --> 00:23:19.645 align:center
<i>Akka,</i>

00:23:21.105 --> 00:23:22.355 align:center
forgive me.

00:23:23.480 --> 00:23:25.110 align:center
Your house is in a mess.

00:23:26.980 --> 00:23:29.480 align:center
You should not have
dragged Kaveri into this.

00:23:47.063 --> 00:23:48.813 align:center
That is the only thing, <i>Akka,</i>

00:23:52.230 --> 00:23:53.980 align:center
that I will always regret.

00:24:05.271 --> 00:24:06.111 align:center
I…

00:24:34.313 --> 00:24:36.193 align:center
It's all over for you.

00:24:37.480 --> 00:24:39.690 align:center
We have reclaimed our houses

00:24:39.771 --> 00:24:41.771 align:center
and Rakturthi is coming back to Malemar.

00:24:42.813 --> 00:24:45.233 align:center
All your efforts have gone to waste.

00:24:46.521 --> 00:24:49.111 align:center
And the sisterhood will continue
like it always has.

00:24:52.271 --> 00:24:55.521 align:center
You thought all this
was about your houses and those gods?

00:24:57.771 --> 00:24:59.861 align:center
My fight was with the women of the houses.

00:25:01.438 --> 00:25:04.358 align:center
I have ended the houses
by eliminating the women.

00:25:04.438 --> 00:25:06.018 align:center
I'm still alive.

00:25:06.105 --> 00:25:07.305 align:center
Yes, you are.

00:25:08.438 --> 00:25:11.518 align:center
But very soon you'll wish you weren't.

00:25:18.771 --> 00:25:19.771 align:center
Where is Nanda?

00:25:21.105 --> 00:25:24.355 align:center
Some people
have a slow-burning anger in them.

00:25:25.563 --> 00:25:27.773 align:center
You should watch out for such people.

00:25:28.438 --> 00:25:29.898 align:center
What did you do to him?

00:25:30.605 --> 00:25:34.605 align:center
You break a man
by breaking something that he loves.

00:25:36.146 --> 00:25:38.766 align:center
And I broke him
by showing him your true face.

00:25:40.896 --> 00:25:42.356 align:center
Don't you have a heart?

00:25:43.146 --> 00:25:44.226 align:center
He is your brother.

00:25:44.313 --> 00:25:45.403 align:center
I do have a heart,

00:25:46.813 --> 00:25:49.363 align:center
but it is not so weak
to get swayed by emotions.

00:25:50.605 --> 00:25:52.185 align:center
Nanda is not like you.

00:25:53.230 --> 00:25:55.400 align:center
I've had a gift since childhood.

00:25:56.813 --> 00:25:58.693 align:center
I can see a person's true nature.

00:26:02.021 --> 00:26:04.771 align:center
And I can sense hatred from far away.

00:26:06.646 --> 00:26:09.226 align:center
No one has ever found happiness
after betraying me.

00:26:11.771 --> 00:26:14.771 align:center
Even if I stare death in the face,
I'll have my revenge.

00:26:17.521 --> 00:26:19.021 align:center
It's not your fault.

00:26:26.771 --> 00:26:28.811 align:center
It's all the doing of your ancestors,

00:26:30.730 --> 00:26:32.150 align:center
which you're paying for.

00:26:33.521 --> 00:26:35.651 align:center
When you have once habituated
yourself to death,

00:26:36.730 --> 00:26:38.940 align:center
dying becomes easy.

00:27:18.646 --> 00:27:23.766 align:center
Someone saw Nanda with Mallika's daughter
near the Perplady beach.

00:27:26.688 --> 00:27:28.228 align:center
I know where he is.

00:27:29.271 --> 00:27:30.361 align:center
Bhavani.

00:27:34.271 --> 00:27:35.521 align:center
I'm sorry…

00:27:37.813 --> 00:27:39.193 align:center
for what you must do.

00:27:42.605 --> 00:27:45.265 align:center
Once upon a time, these three houses
were worth dying for.

00:27:46.855 --> 00:27:48.475 align:center
Now, they only take lives.

00:27:51.230 --> 00:27:53.270 align:center
The houses, the sisters,

00:27:54.938 --> 00:27:57.608 align:center
we have to give justice
to so many people, <i>Akka.</i>

00:27:59.688 --> 00:28:02.558 align:center
We have to correct
many mistakes of the past.

00:28:32.521 --> 00:28:34.401 align:center
Like you, she too likes the sea.

00:28:36.563 --> 00:28:37.983 align:center
Give me the child, Nanda.

00:28:55.480 --> 00:28:56.770 align:center
When she grows up,

00:28:58.105 --> 00:29:00.725 align:center
will she know of all the betrayal
caused by people for her sake?

00:29:01.896 --> 00:29:03.306 align:center
How much blood was spilled?

00:29:05.105 --> 00:29:07.555 align:center
She'll only know what she is taught.

00:29:10.105 --> 00:29:12.395 align:center
So the web of lies will continue.

00:29:17.896 --> 00:29:19.686 align:center
You broke my heart, Bhavani.

00:29:21.230 --> 00:29:22.900 align:center
I'm sorry that you got hurt.

00:29:24.980 --> 00:29:27.610 align:center
But I never wanted to hurt you.

00:29:27.688 --> 00:29:30.268 align:center
I know that you have
no expectations from me anymore,

00:29:30.355 --> 00:29:32.475 align:center
but stop lying to yourself at least.

00:29:34.480 --> 00:29:36.480 align:center
I just wanted a little respect.

00:29:39.271 --> 00:29:40.401 align:center
And what did you do?

00:29:41.521 --> 00:29:43.111 align:center
I didn't do anything, Nanda.

00:29:48.688 --> 00:29:50.148 align:center
I couldn't do it.

00:30:11.563 --> 00:30:14.273 align:center
<i>If you really loved me,</i>
<i>you'd have understood</i>

00:30:14.355 --> 00:30:17.765 align:center
that I could never betray you.

00:30:28.355 --> 00:30:32.855 align:center
I dreamt of spending my life with you.

00:30:37.980 --> 00:30:40.560 align:center
But you broke both…

00:30:43.480 --> 00:30:44.730 align:center
my dream and my heart.

00:31:37.271 --> 00:31:38.811 align:center
We always loved the sea,

00:31:41.021 --> 00:31:42.271 align:center
so right here is good.

00:32:25.938 --> 00:32:27.438 align:center
Once upon a time,

00:32:28.855 --> 00:32:31.855 align:center
we were known as the queendom of women.

00:32:33.230 --> 00:32:36.060 align:center
By the blessings
of the goddess of war, Makwathi,

00:32:37.021 --> 00:32:38.731 align:center
hundreds of our queens

00:32:39.563 --> 00:32:40.983 align:center
ruled this land.

00:32:43.938 --> 00:32:46.438 align:center
Today, we are here to consecrate Makwathi

00:32:47.105 --> 00:32:50.515 align:center
as the patron goddess of the matriarchs

00:32:50.605 --> 00:32:52.395 align:center
of Pernuru once again.

00:32:54.438 --> 00:32:58.728 align:center
And we are also here to fulfil a promise.

00:33:00.313 --> 00:33:01.613 align:center
For that,

00:33:01.688 --> 00:33:05.058 align:center
I call upon the heads of
the Kathawa and Yeruma communities.

00:33:23.855 --> 00:33:28.725 align:center
With our Goddess Rakturthi
and Goddess Makwathi as witnesses,

00:33:28.813 --> 00:33:31.273 align:center
I include the Kathawa
and Yeruma communities

00:33:31.938 --> 00:33:34.518 align:center
into the sisterhood of Pernuru.

00:33:50.480 --> 00:33:54.480 align:center
I give the Herkada house
to the women of Kathawa

00:33:56.021 --> 00:34:00.901 align:center
and the Perplady house
to the women of Yeruma.

00:34:14.271 --> 00:34:15.401 align:center
And finally,

00:34:16.563 --> 00:34:18.563 align:center
we announce Subbamma's granddaughter

00:34:19.313 --> 00:34:20.943 align:center
and Mallika's daughter

00:34:21.688 --> 00:34:24.438 align:center
as the future head

00:34:25.021 --> 00:34:26.361 align:center
of the Malemar house.

00:34:48.313 --> 00:34:51.023 align:center
And as head of the Malemar house,

00:34:52.105 --> 00:34:53.935 align:center
she will take the name…

00:35:02.355 --> 00:35:06.435 align:center
Shankar <i>Anna,</i> we never wanted war.

00:35:07.105 --> 00:35:11.055 align:center
But it was you
who brought this war to our land.

00:35:11.980 --> 00:35:16.020 align:center
<i>Now, I will cross over to your shores.</i>

00:35:25.480 --> 00:35:28.190 align:center
This girl has a fire in her.

00:35:30.313 --> 00:35:32.273 align:center
It's not blood that flows in her veins,

00:35:33.438 --> 00:35:34.938 align:center
but a blazing flame.

00:35:36.646 --> 00:35:38.106 align:center
But she is not aware

00:35:38.896 --> 00:35:40.266 align:center
that I carry

00:35:41.521 --> 00:35:42.861 align:center
the same fire within me.

00:35:44.480 --> 00:35:45.560 align:center
Because I

00:35:47.105 --> 00:35:48.265 align:center
am her father,

00:35:49.938 --> 00:35:53.438 align:center
and she… is my daughter.

00:36:09.355 --> 00:36:10.855 align:center
Now Bhavani will know…

00:36:13.313 --> 00:36:15.653 align:center
who the real father of Pernuru is.

00:38:22.271 --> 00:38:27.271 align:center
