We're born to that sweet tribe!
-Ranga, Where's your son Gidda?
When did he ever hang out with people?
Must be with his goats...
-Gidda!
-Time to take the goats grazing!
[Starts herding the goats]
Hey!
Time for Dora's birthday!
Time for Sweets!
Time for Dora's birthday!
Time for sweets!
What are you looking at?
Wondering how I know?
I kept count!
This first hole was Dora's birthday!
There are 365 holes on this leaf!
Counting one a day from first to last,
It is Dora's birthday again!
There are only 4 holes left for that.
After we count these 4,
Time for Dora's birthday!
Time for sweets!
Time for Dora's birthday!
Time for Sweets!
Oh no... Spotty!
Spotty!
You! Stop dreaming! Get back to work!
Spotty!
Brother, did you see my goat?
Kid, this is a Nutmeg plantation!
There are no goats here!
There's only the vicious beast Samba!
Do you want to see?
You rascal!
Listen up!
Have you all gone blind?
You're picking spoiled leaves!
If you don't find quality leaves,
I will rip your throats out!
How is it possible to check each leaf?
Just because no one fights back...
Shush!
We're trying to play in secret!
He'll thrash us if we get caught!
Play!
-Throw the dice. -Shut up!
Look there!
It's the kid's goat!
You catch it, you own it! Ready?
-Ready! -Ready!
Look! I caught the goat!
Yeddi!
You crossed the boundary line!
Come back! Come back now!
Sambadu will kill you if he finds out!
Come back now! Come back!
Come man!
Come fast!
Come back!
Come back before you're caught!
Come back soon!
Come!
Come on!
Come fast!
Come back!
Come!
Dora's boundary is God's boundary!
Why did you cross the line Yeddi?
I had been seeing bad omens since evening!
If something happens to you?
What will become of me?
Did I do it on purpose?
Happened while I was playing
Yeddi...
You didn't do it on purpose!
But Sambadu,
Will tell a different story to Dora!
Yeddi...
Our Life or Death,
Us being starved or well fed,
Who makes it possible?
God does!
Dora does!
Dora forbade us from crossing that boundary
Dora's word is god's word!
Dora's boundary is God's boundary!
Accidentally or on purpose,
This is still a sin.
What's wrong with you?
Don't you want to live?
Say that you will accept your mistake tomorrow.
Swear it!
Swear on this holy stone that you will confess tomorrow!
Do it for me!
Sambadu is coming!
How dare you!
You people are like goats,
You have no business standing up to us!
Hear that?
That sound...
That's the sound of your death approaching!
Alright, sit down.
This fellow tried to escape from the forest.
I managed to stop him.
I told him not to,
But he talked back and called us names.
And it wasn't just me,
But he abused you!
What man?
Is this true?
Then, as per our laws,
You must cut yourself open,
And wash our Dora's feet with your blood.
Stop!
He's lying to you,
I didn't do anything wrong Dora!
Right or wrong,
Only God will decide.
[Priest Chants Tantric Mantras]
Hundreds of slaves worked to accumulate this massive wealth
All for my one & only heir!
My only child...
If something happens to him...
I, who's never hung my head in defeat,
Won't have a son left to cremate me.
[Priest Chants]
Chant loud and proper!
This pesky disease must disappear!
[Priest chants]
Sacrifice...!
A great sacrifice!
Give the child his wits
And end his troubles now!
Mr Priest!
-Look!
-It's Manga! -Yes, Manga!
-Wonder what happened at this time of the night!
-What happened dear?
My husband didn't return home yet!
He left home yesterday evening.
If you Stand up against Dora,
God will not forgive you!!
I am scared for his life brother!
Don't you worry about it.
Come let's search for him...
You head towards his hut,
You go search on the mountain!
Yeddi!
-Yeddi!
-Husband!
-Yeddi!
-Look! Death Star!
-Oh no! What is this?
-Yeddi!
-Oh no! Yeddi!
-Why didn't he listen to us?
-Oh why didn't your husband listen to us!
-God is taking him away!
He is now a death star!
Husband!
He did not know that disobeying Dora would anger you!
It was a mistake!
Everything happens because of you!
Why did you make him do something so stupid?!
What was wrong with his mind?
What was his mistake?
No my dear!
Now you don't go making another mistake!
I will!
If this rock is your god,
My husband was mine!
I will do the same thing he did!
Didn't we sit and decide right here?
So that this damn god rock could hear us!
Did he ever once reply back?
You!
Why don't you talk?!
He told you he crossed the line by mistake, didn't he?
Why did you have to take him away?
Tell me now!
If you don't talk now,
I will come and make you talk.
I am coming to you!
-Manga! No!
-Manga!
Our lives belong to our god
We mustnt throw them away child!
It's a sin!
No matter how many lives are lost,
Just like him,
Our God is also sitting mute!
God will curse you!
You have to be patient child!
When the time is right,
Our God will give an answer to all of this!
[Radio Static]
[Announcement on the Radio] 'Akashavani' -The voice from the skies!
-Today's broadcast schedule,
-Firstly, Devotional songs.
-At 10, Radio plays.
-As part of this programming,
-Today's program is story of Hiranyakashyapa & Prahlada!
Listen carefully to Prahlada's story!
Maybe you'll learn some manners.
No I won't!
Listen to your dad kid!
Prahlada didn't!
-Eat your breakfast! -I will!
Hurry up! You're late for school!
Give me that.
-And now, Chitralahari.
I had 4 batteries in here.
-There are only two now! -They must be around somewhere.
Alright.
Get rid of that damn radio and hand him a book.
-Sure.
[Chants a prayer to Vinayaka]
Vinayaka,
I've been praying for a transfer to a city.
It has been 3 years!
Please send me soon.
You will earn goodwill!
See you!
[Children fighting]
Listen kids!
Why are you fighting?
Master, they're fighting over that pen!
What pen?
Hey! That's mine!
How can you fight for this?
Come on, Give me 20 situps each.
Ramesh, 30 from you.
Why me sir?
You didn't even try stopping them,
That's a much bigger mistake.
That's why.
All of you take out your books.
[Children] Good morning sir. -Alright. Sit down.
In yesterday's class,
We talked about magnetic force.
-Yes sir!
Today's lesson will be about,
Electro magnetic force.
Hey!
Lets learn using a practical example. OK?
All of you move in closer. [Students excitedly chattering]
-Come on. Come on! -There you go.
The moment this nail,
Gets charged by the electricity from this battery,
This turns into a magnet and attracts these pins nearby...
[Children cheering]
-Understood? -Understood sir!
-Sir! Principal sir is calling you.
On my way.
-Lakshmi, continue the electro-magnetism demo. -Yes sir.
-Come in.
Good morning sir.
You called me sir?
Here, your transfer orders.
You really wanted this, didn't you?
There was a postal delay.
You need to leave immediately. You join tomorrow.
Thank you sir... Thank you very much sir.
-Sir... -Hmm
I will miss you all sir.
Elections are round the corner.
You will probably be back for election duty.
We can catch up then.
-I'll see you sir. -Alright.
Thank you god! Thank you!
Raji... Raji...!
-Raji! -Yes. I'm coming.
Thank you god! Thank you.
What's the matter?
-We got that transfer. -Is it?
You can celebrate later,
Go pack everything, we need to leave now.
Raji, only pack the essentials.
-Dump the old things. -OK, OK.
Everything's packed & loaded?
Feel like we forgot something.
What is it?
Where's our son?
Chanti...! Chanti!
-Son, where are you? -Chanti... Chanti!
Chanti!
Is he roaming outside?
He was with me just now.
[Song plays on Radio]
[Chanti humming]
-Kid! What are you doing here? -Huh?!
Don't you hear me calling you?
-Chanti, stop crying. -Kid, give me that. move.
-Mom! My Radio! -Enough of this stupid box.
Mom... My Radio!
Enough of that damn Radio!
OK... Take those!
Sir... Please come.
Sir...
Sir,
When your ancestors turned 50,
They would get portraits of themselves made.
Those have all been saved for posterity.
Now it is your turn!
You turn 50 this year.
Here's the painter to draw your portrait.
My lord...
Compared to your ancestors,
You're a much more beautiful man.
Beauty is a feminine trait,
A man must posses,
Manhood
Power!
My lord...
One stays with him till he dies,
The other,
Continues even after he dies.
-You can start. -Yes sir.
You idiot!
How dare you make noise here?!
I'm the Election commission's special officer.
Every survey always stops at this house.
Apparently, I need Dora's permission to go further into the forest.
-Come, Come, Please come sir.
-Please sit. -its alright.
You there! Officer is here.
Bring him some refreshments.
Yes sir.
You seem new.
You're new to me.
Not people like you.
That's fantastic. So you will easily mingle.
We should
All people should mingle.
Apparently, people of this forest only mingle with animals.
I'm here for them.
Dora is listening!
We kicked out Dora's from this country!
Now, where did this Dora come from?
You've put up illegal check posts blocking entry to the forests.
Get rid of them.
Sir...
Our check posts are stronger than your post.
If we had to remove one of them...
Are you threatening me?
It's good advise.
Take it anyway you wish.
The important thing is that you hear what I'm saying.
Sir...
This is a golden pitcher.
You can keep it.
Come on... Take it.
Raised voices always put necks on the line.
Your ego of being a government employee...
Cannot be allowed to step onto this land.
Hey!
Even god needs my permission to cross the borders of this forest.
Can you hear me now?
Clean it up!
Start painting now.
My lord...
Namaste sir.
He lost his consciousness. Just needs to be cremated.
I brought sweets for the forest kids.
Since it is Dora's birthday, I brought cotton candy.
Take Yerrodu with you & distribute candy to the kids.
Alright sir.
You're taking good care of the tribal kids.
No, you moron,
When our lord was just a kid,
His father, the Dora Used to send sweets to the kids.
The moment our lord became the ruler,
Those kids, now adults, turned his slaves.
Now our lord is sending sweets over to their kids.
Why do you think that is?
Queue up!
Fall in line to get candy!
You!
What are you doing?
Go!
Brother! Wait!
What?
What's in that bag?
What do you mean?
Get lost! Yerrodu will catch you.
No he won't! He's gone to wash up.
Kid, Get lost from here!
It looks different. I just want to see it once.
What's your deal kid?
Fine. Hang on.
-Can I touch it? -Fine.
What is this brother?
It is amazing.
It's called a Radio. You wouldn't understand.
Now give it back.
I want it!
-No way! -Brother please...
I'm begging you.
I'll even get you some cotton candy!
You? Candy? Give it here kid!
Brother please. I'll give you whatever you want.
What do you have that you can give me kid?
Listen son,
We're late for story-time. Come on!
-Salute Dora!
Sit down!
You can start now!
The bravest of the brave, God of our hamlet,
Listen to this, the story of our Dora!
Dear sirs...
The bravest of the brave, God of our hamlet.
Listen to this, The story of our Dora.
O dear lord...
O lord!
These last 5 generations, Dora's ancestors,
Have protected our tribe.
Our children are safe & protected,
It is all by the blessings of our Lord Dora!
O bravest of the brave, God of our Hamlet
Listen to this, The story of our Dora.
If we have any trouble,
He will fight to make it right, for us.
O bravest of the brave, God of our hamlet
Listen to this, The story of our Dora.
-Brother... -Yes.
-So that means our Dora...
Is the most kind hearted to those who love him,
And the fiercest foe to his enemies.
Yes... And that is why...
The important thing that we must all remember is...
Hear me now,
Protecting the forest folk from the deadly British forces,
O his highness,
Our lord Dora is like a father to us all.
If you disobey Dora & go out of the forest,
God will take you away & deliver punishment.
Praise his highness,
Show your devotion to our Lord, Dora!
You will escape god's punishment.
Praise our lord Dora!
-Who is our Father? -DORA!
-Who gave us life? -DORA!
This air, land, water & the skies,
Who gave us all of this?
DORA!
-Who is our god?!
DORA!
-Who is our god? -DORA!
Look at those bright stars up there son,
They were all people once.
God took them away,
And put them there.
Even your mother's star must be among them.
Until I turn into a star myself,
I won't know for sure.
Each star among them,
Has it's own story...
Are you listening son?
Dad... Look there...!
What is it?
It's nothing.
Go to sleep.
[Radio begins buzzing]
[Voice from the radio]
Did you say something?
Did you just say something?
You did... I heard you.
Why don't you talk again?
[Voice from Radio]
Oh... You only like to talk when you go up?
[Song On Radio] -Can you climb up trees?-
Yes. I already did.
[Radio] -Can you hear me?-
Yes. I'm listening to you.
So you can speak like us then?
[On Radio] -Child's play-
Oh, you play games too?
Let's play together.
We can play together everyday.
Dad
Dad!
How many goats do we have?
50
51!
Please sir...
He's a child.
It's a mistake.
Please forgive him this time.
You sold the goat for extra candy.
But lying to me...
Was an even bigger mistake kid.
Please forgive him this once.
Goats are always excited.
Please boss. Let me go...
They are unruly.
Boss... Please...
They keep having more kid goats
And their number keeps changing.
Do you think I don't know this?
It wasn't me you made a fool out of...
Boss.. No...
You cheated Dora!
You cheated god!
-Son....!
-My son...!
Hey!
I don't care if you are a kid!
You will all do exactly what you are told.
If you try to do anything more than that,
I will cut you all to pieces!
-Gidda...! -Gidda!
-Wake up!
-Gidda!
God!
Bring him to my hut!
Gidda!
-Gidda!
-Son!
Son!
Let him breathe.
Ranga...
Medicinal paste,
Leaf & root juice,
Nothing is taking effect on the child.
It seems our god is still angry with us.
All that's left is to beg god for his life.
God!
Lying to Dora's man...
Was a mistake.
But,
Showing so much rage on a child,
Is not right at all.
It's not!
Save him god!
Save him...
[Radio static]
[Distorted voices from Radio]
What is that noise?
[On Radio] Drumstick leaves.
[On Radio] Lime juice
[On Radio] Clove Oil
Ranga, get up.
Gidda!
-Gidda is alive!
Gidda!
-Gidda....!
-My son!
-Gidda!
Priest,
Who was it that spoke earlier?
If the God rock is in your hand,
Who's in the temple?
Priest, What is that?
Is it god?
After listening to our problems all these days,
Just to rescue us from troubles,
To wipe our teary eyes,
To save our Gidda's life,
God has appeared to us in a new avatar!
Our God is speaking to us now!
[Broken, distorted voices]
-Aakashavani...
-Now, time for a break.
Listen Ranga,
God has come down for us.
If we want to keep him here with us,
We need to build a proper temple for him.
We cannot do this without asking Dora,
Let's go ask him for help.
-Let's go to him in the morning. -Alright.
Son...
Tell me what's wrong with my son?!
Please say something?
Actually,
It's nothing.
The thing is,
Your son...
Dora!
What?
If I have to bury my son,
I'll make sure you bury your kids too!
My lord...
I think he has jaundice.
I treated him as best as I could.
But... But...
My son...!
I can acquire great wealth,
But I'm not able to buy his health.
This child is the result of so many prayers.
He has been struggling since the day he was born!
We sacrificed a goat to the gods for a fever,
Now, it's a question of child's life.
Hey Aakashavani,
I kept you here to protect you from the rain,
You seem to have settled down here...
Come, let's go to our tree and play.
Stop son!
You mustnt touch god like that.
It's a sin.
Why are you talking as if to an old friend?
Apologize.
Dad...
No, listen to me...
You just woke up!
Don't make god angry.
Let's go son...
We need to go see Dora in the morning.
[Sighs]
What is it?
You wanted to say something. Why are you quiet now?
My lord,
We were planning to repair the old temple on the hill.
If we could have your blessings & help...
What's wrong with the existing temple?
As you know, our god is here.
Doesn't feel right to keep him in that old temple.
What do you mean "God is here"?
How can it be?
God cannot come here without your permission...
Didn't you tell Mr Lingayya about it?
He's here.
In our temple.
He's listening to all our troubles.
He's even giving us solutions.
God is talking to you?
Yes sir.
When my son was badly beaten by,
Samba-
When my son was struggling for his life,
God saved his life.
What is it you're trying to say?
Dora sent god to your aid?
What do you mean sir?
So even Dora cannot send god to us?
Yes yes, That is the only way God can arrive.
He did.
That's why we're trying to renovate the temple.
Thank my stars,
They didn't ask for a ceremonial pillar!
Alright!
Let's renovate the temple.
Like Lingayya said,
Let's also have a ceremonial pillar in front
Let's celebrate a memorable temple festival.
Arrange it.
We will be happy.
Our children will be happy.
-My Lord! -Dora!
-Go fast! -Alright.
My lord,
All this is for the secret sacrifice isn't it?
We need to have a festival before the lamb is cut.
They'll assume that, god demanded this sacrifice,
because they made a mistake in the festival.
Then what about the ceremonial pillar?
You think I'd really give them a real one?
What if Lord Narasimha pops out from the pillar, like in the stories?
Paint that iron pole gold and send it to them.
My word is the Golden rule!
My gift will be the golden pillar!
It's time, Dora must be on his way.
-Is everything ready? -Yes.
Then where are the pumpkins?
I'll go fetch them priest.
Dora is here!
Dora...
Please come...
-You there! -Priest...
Dora...
God will feel bad if you leave without talking to him.
Come say a prayer, Dora!
Tell your problems to our god.
I wish to see them being solved.
Their madness has reached peaks.
Please come Dora.
Our god must be meditating.
Come on.
Huh?!
[Sniggering] God it seems...!
God...
-Dora! -Careful Dora!
-Are you alright Dora?
[Radio static]
[Song on Radio] You will pay for your crimes...
I will see your end...
I'm your destroyer!
I'm the answer to you...!
You will pay for your crimes.
Watch how I end you!
[Song fading away]
Dora...
Don't know what boon you asked for.
God seems to have gotten angry on you.
Dora... Ask for God's forgiveness,
And take blessings.
Do it for our sake, My lord.
Why the long faces guys?!
Isn't it time already?
Get on with it,
It's time for a proper celebration.
Let's begin the festivities.
Beat the drum, my brother!
Rock the beat, my brother!
Young & old
Come dance one & all...
Have a drink, My brother!
Take a bite, My brother!
Let all of nature rejoice!
Let the entire village hear this!
Our hearts fill with happiness!
May God bless all of us!
May our lives see a new light!
Paint the floor, Rangadu!
Start the party, Singadu!
Let the earth & sky become one!
Pass a piece, Brother!
Pass a drumstick, Kid!
Let every creek & river overflow!
Let the entire village hear this!
Our hearts fill with happiness!
May our god bless us!
May our lives see a new light!
[Chanting Tantric Mantras]
Stop staring. Just go do your job.
Lord, should I inquire about that Radio?
-Focus on the task at hand. -Sir.
O my dear lord!
What good deeds brought you to us?
This village is now yours
My house, My village...
Are all under your protection now!
My son is alive and among us,
This is only by your power!
With a talking god protecting us,
This village is the happiest ever!
With our god protecting us,
The future belongs to us!
Even the trees want to talk like us,
They want to join us & celebrate!
Even the rain wants to dance like us!
It wants to come join us now!
[Chanting Tantric Mantras]
Son
Gidda!
-Yelli... -Huh?!
-Did you see Gidda anywhere? -No Ranga.
Gidda!
[Panting] Gidda!
Where has he gone to?
Gidda!
[Radio Static]
God...
The star?
Is it my son Gidda?
-Yes
You saved him didn't you?
What did he do again?
Who cares what he's done...
Did you save him just to kill him again?
-Stop the Star...
Star?
...Before it reaches destination...
Stop it?
Before it reaches?
The star!
Before it reaches destination!
I will not let the Star leave God! I will not!
The Star...
I'll stop it!
Gidda!
Son!
Gidda!
Gidda! Gidda!
Gidda!
Don't go!
Don't...
Leave...
Stay!
The death star!
Gidda!
The Star...
Gidda!
[Huge Crash]
Hey... Srinu!
Getup!
Srinu.
No....
Hey! Srinu!
Srinu! Wake up!
Srinu... Srinu!
Is there a hospital nearby?
Srinu...
Help! Treatment! Medicines!
How much farther?
I'm worried about what happened to Gidda!
Where did Ranga run off to?
Look! Here comes Ranga!
Ranga is here!
Careful... Put him down.
Srinu.... Srinu!
Oh no...
Who are they?
They look like people,
Hair, clothing looks so different...
Wonder where they came from
If my guess is right,
From outside.
As far as I can remember,
We've never had an outsider inside our village,
We need to ask Dora if they can stay.
Dora's word is God's word.
God is talking to us directly now,
God's word is Dora's word. Isn't it?
-Come. -Where?
To ask God what to do with you.
What? God? But no one can see god.
You can't... But you can hear him.
A god you can hear?
Is it possible?
We listen every day. God speaks in so many voices.
He changes voices every minute.
Sometimes even female,
They're all his voices aren't they? Come. I'll take you.
Come.
Stay right here. God will call you.
Is that so my lord? Call that man here.
Come on.
Come my dear,
God wants to look at you. Have a seat.
Pray to him.
Not like that!
Like this.
This is the guy,
Tell us your decision my lord.
[Crowd murmuring in agreement]
[Random voice coming out of radio]
-Relatives-
-Take care-
Is that so my Lord?
Guys! These people are our relatives.
God wants us to take good care of them.
We must take care of them.
We need to take care.
We will take care of you sir.
Hey! We must take good care of sir.
You are our esteemed guest.
Let's bring him some food. Come on.
Hey! Srinu!
Listen Srinu.
Listen man,
Srinu!
Hey! Srinu!
Srinu!
Listen, Wake up man.
How can Radio be a God sir?
Sir... Sir... We brought some food.
Hmm.. Listen Srinu...
Huh!
Sir. Please eat.
He wants us to eat these roots?
Please don't feel shy. Eat your fill.
This?
Where are you from sir?
From the city.
Where is that?
On another hill just like this.
How did you get injured?
Actually, I was heading out for election duty.
Met with an accident on the way.
What's that?
Election.
What does that mean?
So you've never voted in your life?
What's a vote?
Sir... Just let it go.
Before you lose your mind.
Don't we need a leader to rule us?
Interested candidates compete against each other.
We choose one among them by voting.
A teacher will always teach.
We already have a God to rule over us.
Why this leader now?
Sir... Tell him the truth.
Tell him.
Old man,
I have to tell you something
I hope you won't mind.
Go on,
You're our guest.
Go on... Tell him.
That thing in your temple,
Is not god.
It's a radio.
It is man-made.
Is there a God in your temple?
yes.
How does he look?
Like a stone idol.
Who made that idol then?
A man
Who cares if it's a piece of wood or harsh stone.
Anything that solves your problems is God.
That was well said. Right?
Fine.
Since when is your God talking?
Our Gidda had angered the old God.
So he was punished severely.
That's when this new God came in to save his life.
Who's Gidda?
Our Ranga's son.
Can I see him?
Not possible.
New God got angry on him too
Took him away from us.
Where is Ranga?
He is grieving for his son.
Probably crying his heart out somewhere.
There... That's Ranga.
-Alright. You can go. -Yes sir.
Why are you sitting here all alone Ranga?
My son used to love coming here.
Everyday after work,
He used to come here to play.
He's been taken up to the stars.
He will have turned into a star by now.
He's probably watching over me.
Why was God angry with Gidda?
That's what we think.
The truth is something else entirely.
What's that?
He's good friends with God.
They used to keep talking for hours.
God wanted Gidda for himself.
That's why he took him away.
How's that?
What do you mean how?
I saw his death star climbing over that hill there.
I don't understand.
Death star sir... The little bright light.
If God gets angry,
He turns you into a star.
Sir...
People don't believe that God is in idols.
How can these guys think this Radio is God?
How can they believe this?
One who can see God in almost everything is the true God.
All these guys here are Gods Srinu.
Star in the sky, faith in the temple.
Great,
So, you mean the Radio is making the death star?
Srinu,
A light can illuminate.
That light is also a burning flame that can bring darkness.
The flame that is causing their darkness is elsewhere.
Dora is coming to the village!
Time for 'Dora Katha'.
Dora wants to listen
To the 'Dora Katha'.
All of you must listen to 'Dora Katha'!
Wait... Who is Dora?
Dora?
The temple has a talking God.
Dora is a God that walks among us.
Something is not right here...
What do we care?
Let's just leave.
When you ignore wrong-doing,
You're committing a much bigger mistake!
Hey! Get back to work.
You F*****!
Death star!
What happened?
Hey! Why are you guys running?
Hey! What happened?
He opposed Dora's man.
God is taking him away.
-Srinu, follow me! -Yes sir... Lets go.
My son...
You said the sacrifice would heal my son.
He is still lying here like a dead body.
Sir.
Our foolish tribe is in the grip of that Radio.
They're ignoring you.
They tried to skip work.
-Sir... -What's that noise?
'Dora Katha' has begun.
-Is it? -You stay here sir.
If Samba sees you,
He will complain to Dora.
After the song is done,
I'll take you to Dora myself.
OK? Wait right here.
Bravest of the brave, Hero of our land!
Listen to the story of Dora, one & all!
My sirs...
Bravest of the brave, Hero of our land,
Listen to the story of our Dora
One & all!
From 5 generations, Dora's ancestors
Have been the saviors of our tribe.
All our children live in peace & happiness,
Is all because of our Dora!
Bravest of the brave, Hero of our land!
Listen to Dora's story one & all.
Whenever someone is in trouble,
He's the merciful lord who stands by them.
Bravest of the brave, Hero of our land!
Listen to the story of Dora one & all.
-Never oppose Dora! -Hear! Hear!
-Dora's well-being, -Hear, Hear!
-Will ensure the tribe's well-being! Hear, Hear!
For the foreseeable future, our tribe should always
Pray to Dora our God-incarnate!
Oh fellow tribesman,
Pray to Dora, our God-incarnate!
Who is our father?
DORA!
Who gave this earth, fire air & water to us?
DORA!
Who gave us life?
GOD!
There it is!
The real face of your Dora!
This man is no God!
He's a devil in the guise of God!
He hit this helpless priest today!
How can you think he will protect you?
God is the one who removes our suffering.
This man is profiting off your suffering.
God wipes your tears.
This man has been exploiting your tears.
You are not farming Nutmeg!
You're farming narcotics for him!
God is not the one taking your people away!
It is him!
This man...
Is the devil that has been killing you.
He is responsible for every life lost here!
My people,
Did the priest's hands shake at Aarti before?
No!
I'm constantly worried that you might,
unknowingly anger our God!
But now,
I'm very angry now!
Why?
Strange mistakes are happening!
Strangers are entering our land!
Who are these guys?
Forgive me my lord.
God asked us to let them stay...
God's word...
Is Dora's word. Isn't it?
That is why...
Then Dora's word is also God's word. Right?
Yes.
Send them away!
-Yes Dora!
-Who's our father? -DORA!
-Who's our God? -DORA!
Please go sir.
Do not come back again.
Please think about what I said.
If God is really killing all those "sinners",
How is your Dora still alive?
How do you know he's never made a mistake?
Don't say that sir...
Do not commit more sins.
God is angry at you! Please go.
Your God hasn't even awoken yet!
But he will!
That's when all your eyes will open!
Don't say that sir... Please go!
Leave now sir!
Please go!
Sir... Let's go!
They won't change.
Even if God actually descends to save them,
They won't.
Their beliefs will remain.
Srinu
They believe.
They will keep believing.
That is their strength & weakness too.
Their belief has turned them into sheep now.
Someday, their belief will turn them back into humans.
SIR!
Yes.
I'm behind that death star!
I'm the killer behind all those deaths.
Did anyone listen to you?
Teach your stupid lessons to children.
Not to these fools.
What did you say?
I am exploiting them?
I am even using God for my purpose.
These slaves don't even count.
Why couldn't you simply mind your business?
What's all this?
Teaching is my business!
I did that!
Even if they fail the test,
My lessons are still valid.
Finish them & get rid of the bodies.
Going against dora was their mistake.
A sin.
So, will god take them away too?
The death star will rise.
My star didn't.
I crossed the boundary line.
That's a sin right?
The Death star!
God is taking them away.
How is the death star coming back?
-Priest, Priest! -What happened?
Priest, wake up.
-Sir... What happened? -Are you alright?
-Sir! Sir!
Sir,
What happened?
How did you get hurt?
When God is taking someone away,
Does it bleed so much?
God decided to take you away
Can you come back?
Never has any death star returned back to us.
No one came back after standing up to Dora!
Who are you sir?
You're silently staring since you got here.
I knew it the moment I saw you,
You are God's man.
He decided that you should be here.
He also decided that you shouldn't.
He took you away.
And again brought you back.
What is all this sir?
Maybe
Since God is the one doing it,
Just ask him how.
I threw you away like trash.
These people built a temple for you.
The thing in front of my eyes now,
Is this a Radio or God? I don't know!
But anything that can save the lives of innocents
Is God.
I believe with all my heart,
You're God!
I pray to you.
They will believe anything I say now.
They need to know the truth about Dora.
I have to tell them the truth.
If you're really God,
Show me the way!
-Akashavani-
-In a few moments-
-In the voice of Sri Satya naryana Murty-
The story of Hiranyakashyap
& Prahlad will be telecast.
Listen
Sit down.
Do you know your Dora's name?
-No we don't. -No!
You don't, right?
It's Hiranyakashyap!
-Hiranya what? -Hiranyakashyap?
Do you know the name God gave you people?
Prahlada!
Prahlada?
It's true!
Your God sent me down here!
To tell you the truth about Hiranyakashyapa!
I told you!
You didn't listen.
Now, the same thing
I went back & told God.
Now God himself will tell you about Hiranyakashyapa!
Your God is speaking!
Listen to the tale of brave Prahlada!
Listen and find his strength within yourself.
Listen to the tale of the evil Hiranyakashyapa!
Listen and find your anger bursting out of you.
Every God-fearing man is Prahlada!
Evil Hiranyakashyapa likes to calls himself God!
Listen to the tale of brave Prahlada!
Listen and find his strength inside you!
Who was Hiranyakashyapa?
He is the Dora of this land!
What did Hiranyakashyapa do?
He turned all the people who disobeyed him into a pile of ash.
He stole the light of all those heroes who stood against him.
You've taken so many lives
But you're unable to save my son's life!
-Hiranyakashyapa's wife gave birth to a beautiful boy.
-A sage called Narada,
-Named that child Prahlada!
-What is that child's name?
-Prahlada!
-What is that child's name?
-Prahlada!
Right from when he was an infant,
All he did was pray to Narayana!
Hunger, suffering nothing is on his mind
Except devotion to Lord Narayana!
And then Hiranyakashyapa come in,
And calls himself God!
"Neither you, nor me,"
"Lord Narayana is our God"
Proclaimed a pious Prahlada!
-"Forget about getting you killed,"
-"Quit your devotion or I'll kill you myself"
-And then he kicked his own son & attacked him.
My son is no more!
That teacher is alive!
He's in the village!
Go tell him.
There's been a death in the house.
Do you want another death so soon?
No No! Listen!
That teacher did not die!
He's in the village now!
Sir... Here!
They let him back in even after you forbid it!
What does this mean?
They're falling for his words.
-Death Star! Not up there, down below! -Huh?
That's not a death star!
He's in the village now!
Come with me.
Is it true Dora?
Are you not God?
No I'm not!
I'm the demon that scares even your God!
I'm an Illusion!
You need to be under my spell till you die!
You will know the truth before you die.
Once you know, you must live no more!
Samba!
Don't leave anyone alive!
My son just died!
All these fools must die in my son's honor!
Kill them all!
You!
Mother!
Help!
Samba!
Kill their courage first!
Kill their God first.
That Radio must not be heard ever again!
Break it!
Stop him!
God!
My God....
Our God...
God....
God...
You!
This is a sin you Rascal!
This sin is on you!
Are these broken pieces still your God?
If that was your God,
What's this?
Your God's hand?
And this?
Your God's leg is it?
What about this?
Is this your God's heart?
Why isn't it beating?
Why isn't it beating Ranga?
Did this heart stop beating?
What's this? So sharp?
It fell down from the candy man's cycle
-Why is it around your neck?
-You'll cut yourself!
Watch out Ranga!
Ranga!
You believed this was your God!
Your belief broke into pieces like a toy!
Is this your God?
Listen...
Can you hear it?
This is your God, crying!
Where is your puny God?
Call him here!
Is he in those trees?
Is he in those mountains?
Is he inside the earth?
Is he hiding in the skies?
Or,
Is he inside this pillar?
God!
Are you there?
Will you come out now?
Come!
COME!
We can never forget what you did for us.
What did I do?
Your innocence turned Dora into God.
Your true faith killed him.
That faith is God!
That's what saved you.
Sir...
You...
You came here for us.
You're
One of us now.
Here...
This...
Is the mark of our tribe!
This will stay with you forever.
Please let it stay on your hand!
