Hey...
let’s burn down his shop first....
Otherwise, I won’t get sleep tonight.
Hey fool, what are you talking about?
It should be resolved in the council...
What wrong did he do?
Is it wrong to open a shop and do his work?
What is this caste craziness still?
What is this relationship between caste and work?
Civilization changing.
World is undergoing phenomenal change.
We too should change with the changing circumstances.
Who are we to decide that this person should do this kind of work and that person should do this work only?
What are you talking?
Seeing us listening,
do you think we will tolerate whatever you talk?
We are able to lead our lives because everyone from their respective caste are doing their duties from birth to death.
If today you say some other caste person will do a particular work
then, what will happen to the caste that is dependent on carrying out that particular work.
These idiots will work??
These drunkards??
Do you understand what you are talking?
If tomorrow his father dies, will you tonsure him? Ok will you tonsure yourself.
He has to do it.
It is there in his blood.
It is his work and duty.
This is village. It will be like this here.
go and carry your rebellion in the jungle.
You are still living in this village, because I have left my rebellion in the jungle.
"Hey sizzling sun is sleeping, Having danced all morning..."
"Our alluring moon is waking, To play all night along."
"Sweat droplets gliding on body, Magically changed to shinning stars on sky."
"As morsel of food goes down the belly, Doesn’t lives overflow with glee."
"Hey sizzling sun is sleeping, Having danced all morning..."
"Our alluring moon is waking, To play all night along."
Brother take tea.
Brother...
Hey, you crap?
Hey what is this?
Digger....
Had escaped on the day of the elections.
Won’t he come under my hold someday?
Hey, keep quiet.
What wrangles do we have, with them?
Hey Kumar...
you say, “we don’t any have any bickering with them, but see how is he looking at me”?
Hey...
If you look at them like that, anyone will look at you like that and act in the same manner.
Just button your lips and sit here.
Hey, what?
started the meeting at evening?
Hey, those buggers only....
Hey leave it. It’s getting late... let’s move.
Council is not about us. It’s about you.
Ok. Let’s move.
You come man.
Ok. You peddle it, buddy.
Come let's go... hurry.
Oh God! Please... don't call me...
Pushpa... -Teacher...
You come here.
Hey...
you come here...
Hey, teacher calling you only.
Hey Krishna, you only.
Me???
Come.
Tell the Pledge.
Teacher, today I am suffering from fever.
Oh no!
Go...
Tell the Pledge.
India is my country.
Hey... he put the left hand.
Hey, Children...
Don't laugh.
Silence!
"No eyes seen this image... Seeing today my life."
"Just in a second bloomed love’s voice,"
"You are the boon, growing as forest in my heart"
"Ergo, this earth bloomed flowers."
"Air has become fragrant touching you."
"Umpteen beautiful ideas endeared."
"Unlimited joy has oscillated."
"No eyes seen this image... Seeing today my life."
"How much ever I hide, yet am overflowing,"
"Myriad longings in this small heart..."
"Tagging along, seeing you..."
"When you see, am hiding..."
"Thinking of you; raced My mind as torrent, To your side...."
"Ergo, this earth bloomed flowers."
"Air has become fragrant touching you"
"Umpteen beautiful ideas endeared..."
"Unlimited joy has oscillated."
"No eyes seen this image... Seeing today my life."
"Like a multi-hued twilight"
"When you are laughing.... I say why worry..."
"Without blinking both eyes I retain you as full moon. "
"No one knows this..."
" For mind, this is candy "
"I feel ecstatic inside Like a dawn I am bright."
Hey Suma, what is that laughter with books in front of you?
Umm...Always study only.
Krishna, shall I serve food, my son?
No mother... I will serve myself.
The 1st Panipat war laid out the foundation for the Mughals’ rule in India. (Girl Book reading)
There is some work in the mills belonging to Reddy’s.
Will you go and join?
Linganna said.
Seems work related to accounts.
How many times should I you mother?
You always pester me saying there is work available here...work is available there.
I won’t stay here.
I will go to Dubai.
Kotanna even told, “he will get the passport for me”.
How much more work should I do alone?
When I thought your physical labor will support me in meeting the needs, you are badgering saying you will go to Dubai.
You don’t even let me eat peacefully.
What works are there here, except asking alms?
Krishna...
Hey Krishna...
Hey Krishna, wait... have food and go.
Your father went and came back as a corpse.
You are the only one, we have.
How can I send you?
Krishna...
wait.
Damn!
where did these fellows go now?
Uncle?
Oh! Is it you, dear?
Did flower blossom, uncle?
No dear. I swear on my monogamy, I’ll give it you, when it blooms.
I’ll come back again.
Ok dear.
Hey, Pushpa is going all alone... go and talk to her.
No buddy.
How many more days will you take pleasure in just watching her?
No man.
Hey, go buddy... go and talk.
You Bloody!
Are you cycling with your eyes closed?
Don’t you know how to ride a bicycle too?
Better Pushpa didn’t slap you again.
Bhoo!
Hey, what are you writing?
Show...
Nothing... Nothing...
Show us... -Nothing...
Show us, buddy... -Nothing....
Hey, give it to me.
Pushpa!!
Pushpa alone is not there in this school...
there are so many others. Go...
You guys come...
Give it here.
Are these the Dubai glasses? -Yep, friend...
They are very cool, bro.
Who is this girl? She is so dark-complexioned.
Pushpa!!! Why is she walking towards us so indignantly?
If you misbehave with me, I’ll inform my father.
You know who my father is, huh?
If she tells her father, you will now have an ordeal to deal with.
Hey, do you always speak ominous words...?
you...?
Folklore is not the one that comes from the mouth...
it is that which emanates from the heart.
Breathe must transform into sound and resonate in the throat.
The earth should be enthralled by the echoes of our feet.
Commoners heartbeat should become our trinkets’ sound.
We...
Our song should evolve from the plebeian’s heart.
Masses voice must be our voice.
The ‘belt of bells’ (Gajjallu) on our feet must heed to the tears of theirs’.
That is what folklore is.
You teach the dance today.
Come.
Brother...
What brother? Did you come for me?
Then, let’s move.
Do you know my brother?
Who is your brother?
Krishna... fits the bulbs...
my brother... -Oh!
is it?
There? my brother.
Pushpa...
You always take her with you, right?
Instead of bringing her home along with you, how could you leave her alone like that?
See, how bedraggled she is, my poor daughter?
Did I dream that it would rain?
Anyway, I took the umbrella and went at once, huh?
Nubile girl...
no more boogieing.
It’s not boogying....
You sit down, you obstinate girl.
You are only adamant.
See?? All this is because of your lenience.
It’s not that, dear.
Though her father, I haven’t heard her cry, as a newborn baby.
I haven’t taught her how to speak.
Though I have not taught her to speak...
taught her how to sing.
Though I have not taught her to walk...
taught her how to dance.
The day I walked out of the jail...
she came running and hugged me...
and looked into my eyes.
that moment I realized...
I am not only got distanced from you and the village...
but also from the love of my munchkin.
That’s why I never say no when she asks something.
Anyway, she is my daughter.
singing and dancing are in her blood.
So...
you mean you won’t perform her marriage then?
I’ll do that.
But let her be with some days...
You go... I will come.
How long will you take, you midget?
Give it to Linganna.
Ok.
He said, “he will sell ours’ too.”.
Don’t roam around. Give it at bus.
Understood??
Anyway, what did Kotanna say?
Asked you to come.
Hey, Koti called.
He said that he will come with your Visa in 15 days.
If you are leaving for Dubai in 15 days, then what about Pushpa..?
Are you dumping her and leaving?
Hey, how will you tell her, when so many people are around here?
Oh my!! You have become very shrewd, Krishna.
(Chanting...)
"Come moonlight come.... come here, this way..."
"Darker is the night... pair it, shine away."
"Became a lonely bird in the nest in your absence."
"lonely bird..."
"Feels like a kid in the dark dorm unable to see you."
"However long I hanker for you..."
"What to do you won’t come before me, even once?"
"Even when all the stars laugh at me..."
"You don’t come to my aid, what’s this injustice?"
"When worn-out musings are recurrently questioning.. How many more years should I hoodwink?"
"Eyes wide open like fish... Devoid of sleep, looking forward to you..."
"How can I induce sleep by reciting concocted stories?"
"Come moonlight come.... come here, this way..."
"Darker is the night... pair it, shine away. "
Hey, what’s big deal? If not the letter, we’ll try some other.
Why do you worry like that?
Before you leave for Dubai, you will definitely say “I love you” to Pushpa.
See.
Let’s go.
It is “Bathukamma” festival, you know... let’s go and illuminate with series lights.
Hey, let’s go buddy.
Pushpa too will come there.
Let’s go. -Come.
(Bathukamma Festival Song)
Hey, give it to me.
hey, you can go na ...
hey, go man.
Where?
Hey, go and see whether Pushpa has come.
Hey crap ... what is this you and Pushpa thing man. I don’t understand.
Mine has become a broker life.
Hey!
Can’t you wait.
Pushpa is coming, man.
Our Krishna has set-up the lighting. Good, isn’t it?
Krishna?
Anyway, lights are shining brightly.
Pushpa is overjoyed.
Come ... let’s go.
Hey, look at there...
(Bathukamma Festival Song)
Crap!
All the arrangements for Bhatukamma festival is done by that Veeranna.
We can't understood that the village head is you or him?
What happened?
why are you talking like an idiot?
What is this brother, if we tell you anything, you are scolding us?
Hey Simha, He tasted defeat at our hands.
Leave him.
You always talk like this, brother.
Since he has lost, he should behave like a loser.
But is he not behaving like that?
Do you know that day all stood up against us in the council because of his support?
What are you talking?
If you go and see how they celebrated their “Bathukamma” the other day, you won’t talk like this.
How illuminated those lights were?
We have lost our honor in front of ladies. Households are laughing at us, brother.
Ok. Leave it for this time around.
We will set up color lights in the whole of the village for the coming Dussehra.
Anyway, these ladies will rebuke, whether lights switch on or switch off.
What is it?
For jasmine flowers?
No... -Then...
for rose flowers... -Huh... No...
Then??
First you come...
First tell me where we are going. Otherwise I won’t come.
Tell me first where to.
Oh !! why don’t you come? Let’s go. -I won’t come.
Come... please...
for my sake...
Tell me, where are you taking me?
Tell me??
That is...
What’s that... that is... what actually happened to you, today?
I am in love with him.
He?
He doesn’t even know about riding a bicycle. At last, you found this person to love?
No problem. I like Krishna..
Though he doesn’t know about riding a bicycle, I know it, right?
Listen to me.
Come...please. let’s talk to him.
I don’t like these love and relationships...
I don’t come.
Oh!! please come... we will talk to him.
Krishna...
Call a little loudly... It is not even audible to me.
Krishna...
Oh my!! Daddy?
Hey Chinna...
He..?
Why is he looking at me?
Should I stop or not?
Why should I afraid of him?
Uncle...
Dear...
Did the flower blossom, uncle?
No dear. I will inform you if it does.
Okay uncle.
Hey, how come Pushpa has glanced at you so many times?
Yes, buddy.
In all these years, she had never looked at you.
Just now she asked about the flower.
Hey, believe my words.
She is in love with you.
That’s the reason, she came to the shop so early in the morning.
Hey, why don’t believe what is happening in front of your eyes?
It’s not that, friends... That is...
What is not that?
I feel what Raju told is true.
The other night, she gave the Bathukamma to you despite so many people present there...
and again she came to the shop early in the morning.
Not that...
that is...
It could be because of flower... she has come to the shop so early.
What flower, bro? Does it bloom exclusively in Uncle’s house?
Anyway, is uncle cultivating that flower by manuring elixir to it?
Mate, you are not understanding one point.
The previous day, she came for flower..
.. is for your sake.
Today too, she came to uncle shop about flower... for your sake only.
You are not understanding it.
Believe my words.
Go and tell that girl what’s in your heart.
Oh God!! He won’t change.
He will be like this only. -Hey, you wait bro.
She came for me and asked about that flower, right?
I will express my love to her by offering that flower.
I don’t mind losing my life...
but this time I will articulate my feeling for her.
When that flower should bloom and when he should give that flower to her...
"That flower which pronounces your love... When did it bloom?"
"Forgetting this world, my eyes How long did wait for?"
"Sleep won’t come... repose not there, Remember none other."
"Desperate days & nights like this,"
"You are facing many problems."
"Captivated in this trance mind When will it rise?"
"Movement of steps in this direction Which destination will it reach?"
This one day should pass... by tomorrow the flower will bloom.
Yep, bro.
What are you doing here?
Nothing ... nothing, uncle... you go and bring tea for us.
There is no shortage of this. To break one more glass, again?
Idiots.
He is the one who broke the glass the previous day.
What kind of people are you?
Seems the skin is very thick, bro-in-law....
It is almost 3 months since her husband died, right? It will become that fatty then.
Hey, wait, you crook... Hey, catch him.
Don't leave him.
How dare you steal mangoes from our orchard?
You low cast bugger.
I am sorry... Please forgive me this time.
I beg you.
I took them because they fell in the sand.
Sir.... sir...they fell down.
You... Son of bitch!
How dare you touch our land? Our land...
You want our mangoes... come ... come and cut mangoes from our groove?
Bro-in-law, she isn’t giving up your slippers...
if you say yes..
Bhagya... wait.
leave bro-in-law.
Wait.
Bhagya...
When did you come brother?
Yesterday.
Marriage in fifteen days. Mother is alone, right?
So many works are there to be taken care of...
If at all anyone must love, they should love like yourselves!
It isn’t that one must love like us or like yourselves.
One must love till his last breath.
That is true love.
That’s ok. You take of that lighting and tent work.
Ok brother...
See you brother.... -Ok... ok.
(Marriage chants)

"Sparkling bright are the eyes with the joy of your dreams."
"Union…Union…"
"Union of souls, walking in tandem."
"The sky has covered like a canopy and the land has evolved as a stage"

"Wrap me around like the cool of the full moon light with your soulful eyes."
"The first drizzle, ready to ripen is making the heartbeat rise in excitement."
"As the breath becomes one, their dreams come true "

"Femininity has personified as bride… The groom has come forth as a blessing."
"And the world appears gracing the occasion. The mind is filled with joy."
Hey...
Hey be careful, my son.
Hey Chinna...
where is uncle?
He went to do errands in the morning before sunrise, brother.
Today is Tuesday, right?
Hey...
Hey, what happened to this flower?
Did Pushpa come here?
Hey chap, why taking so long, what are you thinking? Tell soon.
She didn’t come, brother.
Hey...
This is not the time she comes, right?
Then who plucked it.
Hey buddy, Pushpa is coming.
Then someone gave that flower to her, bro.
Who would have given it?
Hey...
Do you think that the Naresh batch has done it?
Correct!
I saw the three of them today coming on their bikes via the lane en route to Pushpa’s house.
I felt apprehensive at that itself, bro.
How can you decide that they are the ones, even if, they came from that lane leading to the house?
If not they there was no chance that others could have done this.
Except we and they, who else were there here, whenever Pushpa asked about that flower every time.
Hey, it must be Naresh, brother.
No...
that bearded fellow
Yep. Bearded fellow only.... -No buddy...
it is Anji.
he mushing that “gutka”...
Looking at Pushpa...
Yes... he only.
It is Naresh only... yes, he only...
I thought of finishing him off on the election day itself.
My brother stopped me.
Now he intentionally interfered in my personal matter.
Will not spare him any further.
Hey, what are you talking about?
His brother is sarpanch now.
Hey, are you a fool...
tomorrow if the same fate befalls your girlfriend, will you say he is sarpanch’s brother and keep quiet?
Hey buddy what are you talking about? Tell me what to do now.
I have been waiting for you so long...
Now, I caught you.
Like dullards you are sitting here drinking...
What is that blood?
That lunatic has sent his brother to kill me.
Who is that sicko?
Who?? That Veranna.
He developed animosity towards me because we have defeated him in elections.
See brother!!
That reprobate beat our brother black and blue and seen his blood.
The more lenient we are, the more aggressive he is becoming.
Now we will not spare anyone...
Let’s go... -let’s go.
That scallywag should be killed today.
He received a great deal of cracking.
He spewed blood.
That midget... he punched like this... like this... but couldn’t connect due to short stature.
You...
Hey, don't spare anyone.
Hello...
Hey, that sarpanch is trying to finish off Veranna.
Tell this to brother.
Hey...
though we are taking their provocations lightly, those Idiots are attacking us again and again.
Today it should be decided whether he, or I am alive and victorious.
Call our people.
Sir...Good afternoon sir.
Hey, where is your boss?
Sir, that is...
It is 12 O’clock now. Isn’t its daybreak for you still?
Sir... He is still at home, sir.
Leave his matter. Is the work over or not?
Sir, that is....
What “that is”?... that is? Aah...
They are here only, sir.
Mental idiot.
Oh my!! What happened to him? Why is he not taking up the call?
Be cool Ranjit.
It’s just your duty. That’s all.
Is killing humans also a duty?
At least shave your stubble and go, Ranjit.
Why?
If I don’t shave, will they dismiss me from the job?
Sir, MLA sir has called 10 times till now.
Why does sir need to do these works? Don't you have money, tell?
It is not because we don’t have money...
This is more than his life.
He won’t quit this job.
Hello!
Where are you guys?
We are at Suri's well.
Hey, keep that phone aside and play the game.
Not that...
Seems sarpanch is going to kill Veranna....
What difference does it make whether he lives or dies?
You play.
Bloody game!
Oh! Dirty scoundrels, you forgot how much Veranna did for us?
You scallywags... your despicable lives...
That bastard is leaving because he is going to lost his game.
Seems there is wrangling going on at the flag post, uncle.
So, what you fool?
Seems that Subbu’s son is coming this way
I will kill that fellow.
Come on!
Brother...
Oh! my son!
How much grief happened.
After being born as a human being, one should have verve.
You...
Why is your voice raising?
There are skirmishes going on in the village.
Your brother is escorting the sarpanch...
while you are sitting here suckling the bone piece in the soup.
Is he the only macho?
He and I share the same blood.
Come early in the evening... I will cook and serve you the “boti curry”.
How dare you want share at farm land ? Take it along…take it
There is big brawl going on between Veranna and Sarpanch. Infighting in the whole village.
Right!
Who is it? -Let’s go.... let’s go...
Come... come...
Come...
Hey, who is that?
Fools, why are they fighting?
Sir phone.
Sir...
Sir, I am calling from Sirisila.
Tell me.
Sir...
I don't know why these guys killing each other.
Stop the vehicle..
I am also going to die, sir.
Who are you? What is your name, huh?
Sir... Sir... My name is Malli, sir.
I don’t know what is happening, sir.
The whole is village is chaotic situation.
Come quickly sir.
Drive the vehicle into the village.
What actually is happening in the village? -How do I know?
Did something untoward happen because of us?
Don’t know bro.
Hey, I am feeling extremely nervous, man. -Nothing will happen to us.
(Commotion)
Your sister too vibes just as you.
Oh my! Don’t know how your mother delivered both of you, but both of you are matchless.
You bastard, I slept with you because I liked you, that’s all but I am not a bitch.
You ravish my sister.... ravish my sister.
(Commotion)
Hey!
(Commotion)
Sir... Sir... no one is listening, sir.
Sir... Sir...
How did this Sub Inspector come here?
If we get caught then he will shoot us down.
Come on, Run...
Let’s go and have some country liquor.
Yes, let’s go.
I will go and tell Veranna what actually happened.
It seems the violence may scale up in a big way in the village.
You stay here till I come back.
Hello!
Where are you?
I... I...
I am in our dilapidated school.
Where do our people are going?
Our people all together go to Ramanna House.
What? To Ramanna’s house?
Ramanna??
Why are they going there?
Don't know, everybody go with Knives and machetes with hand.
Knives and machetes.
Hey... hey... hey...
Hello... Hello...
Oh my!!
Ramanna!! Today something is going to happen to this village.
Oh my God! No one listens to me.
Because of us, there is going to be a big ruckus in our village.
What are you talking about?
What else then?
Seems they are all going to Pushpa’s house.
Aren’t you able to hear what is being said?
What do we do now?
There is nothing in our hands now to stop this.
Don’t know whether Pushpa is aware of this or not.
Because of us, unnecessarily Pushpa’s life fell in danger.
Seems they are going with knives... Don’t know what they will do?
Hey...
Hey man.... Krishna...
Hey, he is here...catch him. -Hey stop you...
Where is he?
Look at that side.
(Indistinct Voices)
Kill them.
Come... come on.
Come on...
What are you, could have died in a short while?
leave bro-in-law.
Before marriage, you said first marriage only afterward romance.
You have waited all these years, right, bro-in-law? Please await just few more hours.
How to control myself and wait, after seeing you like this?
Go bro-in-law...
A vow on our love, if you touch me before night, bro-in-law.
Hello...srinu...
Brother.
For that land, Lachhi and others are coming over to get rid of the Sire
Sire?
Come quickly…
We will see their end.
Son-of -bitch..
I am coming, wait.
Today I will see his end.
Bro-in-law..
bro-in-law... wait...
Hey... Hey... my son, where are you going?
You shouldn’t leave house for next 3 days, my son. It’s inauspicious, listen to my words.
I will return just now.
Came to know our Chieftain sustained injuries.
Hy son, listen to me.
Bro-in-law...
Lets’s go and see if the Sub Inspector is there or not. -He might’ve gone long back.
Where are these people headed to?
Who will attack me?
Why Nobody here?
They said SI is here
No SI and Nobody here.
(Singing song)
Hey stop...
If you take more step, I will shoot you, insane person.
Sir... sir..
I don’t know anything, sir...
Who is asking you to tell what you don’t know?
Tell what you know.
Sir... Sir... it’s not that sir... What I mean is...
What I mean is...
Tell me..
Sir, my friend loved a girl, sir.
Thinking that the village head's son may have given a flower to that girl,
we thrashed him.
Village head along with his people attacked and beat all of us.
Thus, fighting escalated and the whole village is fighting each others sir.
More than that we don’t know anything, sir.
Please forgive me sir.
Oh my!! Do you have brains?
Do you know what you did?
I will encounter you, fool. -Sir... don’t do, sir... leave him, sir...
Give me the phone...
Sir...
Get his shirt removed.
Remove the shirt...
I don’t know anything, sir...
Sit down, you fool.
sir..
Good Evening sir.
Good Evening. Who is this?
I am S.I Ranjit, from Sirisilla P.S.
Ok... Tell me...
A small conflict in the village.
The inhabitants are not in a position
The whole conflict seems to be centered around a flower sir.
Because of flower??
Yes sir.
The whole village is under commotion because of a single flower???
Yes, sir.
Ok. You take control... I will call you back.
What SP?
Why are you so shocked?
Once upon a time,
the whole of this region was a unified Indian Sub-continent
For the sake of a handful,
just a handful of peppers,
this whole region earned the wrath of slavery.
The whole population lived like slaves.
died like slaves.
and dying like slaves
In such a case,
why are you so astonished to learn that villagers are breaking their heads for the sake of a flower.
Sir.
We have to ruminate about our history which we have forgot.
None will teach us.
Call that S.I
and ask him to handle the issue sensibly and bring normal.
Warn him not to press the trigger and encounter anyone.
Sir.
Bring Tea...
Pepper flavored tea... for SP and me.
It’s already 4 O’clock
Why didn’t come the program organizers yet ?
How do I know?
They themselves will come.
Ok. But you go and get ready...
I will go like this
After going their I will get ready.
Both father and daughter are alike.
Hey, what time is it now?
How, if so late?
If she goes now, when will the program starts and how long it will take for the program to be over.
When will she return home?
That is .
Yes. You.
Are you.
You are the son of Lakshmamma, right?
Aah... Aah...
How is your mother?
She is fine.
Mother, I take leave.
Let’s go... let’s go
Pushpa...
Who??
That program boy came.
What?
She went without informing me.
Oh! because time is running out.
Oh my!! That policeman came in between,
otherwise I would have cracked the skull of that Veranna with my hands.
Hey Chinna, though Veranna escaped,
yet you had thrashed that policeman.
Blood gushed out because of those beatings for the creep.
Program people know our house. Why did you come?
Are you setting lights there too?
Aah... aah....
Did they ask you to fetch me?
Aah..
What are you looking for?
Nothing...
Then, why are you so sweating so much?
Nothing... may be because of the heat of Sun..
you come...
Ok.
Where is the jeep?
There... near Temple.
let’s go quickly
The jeep may depart...
Temple..
Hey leave my hand.
Leave me.
Hey, ask them to come over here.
I won’t come there.
It’s only a short distance from here, right?
What do you mean by short distance...?
despite coming with you without even tying the “belt of bells” (Gajjalu) to my feet,
you feel it is a joke.
No program... nothing... I won’t come... go.
Now what? You want to tie anklets belt to your legs, right?
Hey, stop… Don’t you dare to leave…
Catch him
Come on... run... -Get him...
Where did he go?
Who are they?
Why did they throw the knife at us?
She is your aunt.
Don’t tell this to my wife.
Hey, what is actually happening here?
Why are they trying to kill us?
That is ...
Don’t mumble.... tell the matter...
One minute..
Uncle that flower???
That is...
While coming to your aunt’s house... I thought it wouldn’t be good to come empty handed
This flower is from our shop.
that girl used to daily ask about it, you know?
It blossomed before coming here...
Where did you get this flower from?
From neighbour’s house.
If a girl smiles is it love?
Do you think a girl is in love with you, if she smiles?
Are actually human beings?
That means... Pushpa, from my childhood onwards.
So what?? from childhood, huh?
I don’t know even your name.
How did you think I will love you?
Anyway, Did I like you??
did I do something that sent you such signals?
Then, why did you do all this?
It’s because of you, all this has happened?
I trusted you and came out with you from the house.
Tell me, what will my father and mother think about me now?
it would have better had I died because of that strike by the knife.
See Ramanna, I told you earlier,
if you want to carry out protests or uprising go to the forest.
Else stay in the village, if you behave nicely.
This is a village. All the houses here resemble one another.
But every house has a separate family name.... and each family belongs to different caste.
I told you previously not to disturb that ecosystem.
Did you forget that?
Why to still argue with him brother?
If you say yes...
Sir.
what are you talking about?
Don’t you know how to respect others?
Ramanna..
It’s you who committed the wrong.
Hey, what is the mistake that I have committed?
Not only bringing these disrespectable people on to my house,
you say I have committed wrong?
Keep your mouth under control.
Otherwise consequences will be bad.
Hey, did you think that all castes will mingle with one another since all the castes stay in one village?
What do think a village is?
For every person who speaks and orders, there should be a person who carries the other's slippers.
Are you thinking of uniting the whole village by beating your drum and singing?
I told you in the council the other day.
Seems you haven’t understood it properly...
See Ramanna,
Caste has come into existence before we are born.
It will not die even after we die.
Remember this.
This discussion was over long time back. What’s the problem now?
It is you who raised the issue again.
I thought you will understand what I told you.
but you didn’t understand it.
You tarnished the village name by teaching your ideology to your daughter.
My daughter??
Be careful before you talk about my daughter.
Yes... your daughter only.
She is eloping with someone, who is not from your caste.
She eloping while the whole village is watching.
You person of lowly birth,
what are you talking?
What is your caste?
See Ramanna,
it doesn’t matter even if our neighbor is not from our caste,
but the person who sleeps with our daughter must be from our caste.
Here... it is your daughter’s only..
Keep it as the last token of memory of your daughter..
Let’s go...
Where now?
To there, from where I brought her.
What?? To her house?
Yes...
Are you mad?
Aren’t you seeing what is happening outside?
If you go out in such a situation, you know how dangerous it will be...
Hey Krishna, listen to me.
If you get caught now,
it will create an extremely chaotic situation, buddy.
I have committed a big mistake.
She shouldn’t face any problem because of me.
My eyes, which wait for her sight daily,
is not able to look at her today, though she is in front of me.
After knowing that I am the reason for her tears,
I cannot live like this.
Anyway, you are afraid that you may be killed if you go out,
but I am dead long back.
Till I safely hand over her to her father, I will not leave her,
even if it costs my life.
Hey....
She too is from our community and is just like our daughter.
First have a go at him.
You old wily scumbag...
His father died for barren land.
While he left his newly wedded wife in the house and went to take revenge.
As long as we survive, we live on this soil.
After dying we go back into this soil.
Without understanding this truth, we fight in the name of caste and blood.
If I catch that Veranna today,
I will drink his blood.
You are drinking liquor, bro-in-law.
He, you like head, right? eat...eat.
Gone..
Our whole honor is gone in the village.
What happened?
That Ramanna has shut the door on our brother’s face at last, brother.
Hey fool,
tell properly what has happened.
What is this brother ?
Anyway, why did she elope with him?
Who is that girl?
Whoever it is?
No one in your community is taking it seriously.
Had it happened in our community things would have been very different.
Hey fool,
what are you taking about?
That only brother..
Your Ramanna’s daughter,
She eloped with that Krishna in front of the whole village.
Oh my!!
I thought..
She tarnished our undamaged prestige in the village.
When she was dancing,
I thought our Ramanna will do such sort of thing.
he did.
He sullied the prestige of our caste.
Hey you stop laughing. Stop laughing... stop.
Why are you bothering so much, bro-in-law?
What’s wrong in this?
They both loved each other, so they eloped.
It is not that Mallesh brother.
Do you understand what you are taking?
Oh! you are drinking, right?
Hey, do you understand what you are talking about?
Hey you leave it bro-in-law.
What to leave, man.
How dare he elope with our caste girl?
Your ladies have infatuation towards our males.
I will kill you, you dimwit.
Boy and girl belonging to different castes are eloping.
That’s why all castes in the village have segregated and fighting against one another.
Sir.
what is the position?
Is it alright?
A girl has eloped with a boy sir.
the entire village has isolated caste wise and fighting.
What?
You said they are fighting for the sake of a flower?
Yes sir.
but now it’s a caste issue.
Caste issue?
Sir, seems a boy and girl belonging to different caste are eloping.
The entire village is up in arms.
Encounter them.
Sir.
there are hundreds of people there.
One S.I. and two constables and hundreds of people.
It is highly impossible, sir.
Encounter those 2 people.
Sir?
Wait...
Sir
they are quite young people, sir?
If killing 2 people prevents the killing of 100 people,
then, isn’t it ethical to kill those 2 people.
Sir, this is injustice sir.
Justice ever encompasses ethics, but ethics is not always Justice.
Sir.
Do what I say.
Sir.... Sir...
Are you heard him, right?
Sir.... Sir...
Encounter such young innocent people?
They are of the opinion that we only possess bullets.
They forgot that we possess heart too.
I don’t understand whether I am daily eating rice or drinking blood.
Sir.
what do we do now, sir
There is only a gun in my hand.
don’t know who will press the trigger and who will die.
This day... this day only,
it is enough if they don’t come into my purview.
Hey... hey... stop....
Ramachandra,
leave him.
At least let him go and save those 2 young people.
Take pepper tea.
Take it.
Thank you, sir.
Got a bit delayed because it is Government, huh? That’s all.
This is democracy...
it is the largest written constitution in the world.
It is being written in about 2 years 11 months and 28 days.
It has around 448 articles and 12 schedules.
But how are we using it.
Still we are dying in the name of caste..
we are killing for caste transgression.
More so, we are using this constitution to distance one caste from coming close to another.
That’s all,
none transforms here.
No one understands for whom and for what purpose, this 50-year independence is.
Half century has gone by.
How many people know that a book like this is exists,
that our rights and duties are written in it,
and that it goes by the name Constitution.
How many people know that.
It is not correct to encounter those 2 youth for this, sir.
“Karamchedu”.
Did you forget karamchedu?
The fire that ignited then is still simmering today.
That soot hasn’t vanished yet.
This is also similar to that.
See S.P.
this cup is my position.
the tea in it are my people.
suppose a fly,
just as those 2 youths,
has fell in the tea.If I discard the tea, sympathizing they are kids,
then there will be no meaning for my position.
If dispose of the cup because a fly has fell in it,
then there will be no meaning to the constitution.
Ok if bear everything and drink the tea with eyes closed,
I will not exist.
Now tell me, what should I do?
Instead of thinking about the unwritten statutes in the written constitution,
it is our duty to respect the decrees written in the constitution and implement them.
Do you understand?
Are you insane?
They will kill?
It is better to die in their hands rather than stand beside you
Anyway, it is my fault to mindlessly believe in you and come out of the house.
Only death is the correct punishment for it.
If death is correct punishment,
then it should my death, not yours.
Let’s go.
British had ruled India. (Girl Reading)
They have transported many Indians through sea on ships. (Girl Reading)
From morning onwards, he hasn’t come home.
Don't know whether he has eaten something or not?
Maa...ma..
See who has come?
Koti?
You?
come... come.
did you come for festival?
Yes aunty.
I came day before yesterday
I went to your daughter-in-law’s house and came just today.
Is Krishna not there in the house?
He went out in the morning, till now he hasn’t returned back
I don’t know when he will stop wandering aimlessly
and when he will purposefully do his work.
Your difficulties are almost over aunty.
What are you saying, son?
Yes aunty,
Krishna got visa.
I will take him with me.
Your uncle went like this long back.
I haven’t forgotten how he returned back.
He is adamant about going there.
At least you can convince him, right, son?
To see no more tears in your eyes, he is coming to Dubai.
If I stay here what can I do, brother.
Even if work on the loom,
mother has to rotate the “asu”
Already all her bones have deteriorated.
That’s why I have made up my mind not to work on loom any further.
Brother,
you search some job for me there.
If I stay here, whatever I do situation will be same.
I want to perform my sister’s marriage on a grand scale.
I have to take mother to hospital for treatment.
I want construct a house in our village... want to see mother reside in it like a queen.
If I have to achieve all this,
I should go there....
You are afraid thinking about what happened in the past.
While he is living thinking about what he should do for you.
Leaving aside all the fears, you send him with me.
I will take care of everything there.
Ok. I will send him.
You personally hand over this to him and tell him this news with a smile.
Ok.
Some commotion is going on in the village.
I have to go again tomorrow.
Take good care of him today.
I take leave dear...
Keep it carefully.
After your brother comes, I will give him personally.
Ok Mother.
Don’t know how will he live in Dubai?
That lousy girl has spoiled the prestige of the caste.
They shouldn’t leave the village alive. Let’s go.
It’s a long time since he is gone Yet not returned home.
Mother-in-law,
I will go and bring bro-in-law home.
Bhagyamma...
No..No…don’t…
You can go out only after 3 days It’s not auspicious.
Why don’t you listen to me?
It’s not that mother-in-law, I am feeling very nervous.
I will go and beg him to come back home.
Mother-in-law, I will go and come back.
Bhagya.
That Lachhi has escaped, brother.
If not in this melee,
he will come into our hold in some other brawl.
What Sreenu?
Why are you here?
That is... Chieftain (Peddayya) you...
Why are you roaming here with an auspicious event slated for tonight?
Leaving newly wedded wife in the house... he has come to take revenge..
a macho savior?
You go home. We will take care of the situation here.
Hey, you go.
Ok sir.
Bhagya...
Do you want to marry him, rejecting me? Now, let me see how you will live a life with him…
Bhagya, you go…go…
I swear if you come near me.
Don’t come near me.
Just go…
Brother-in-law...
Sir...
Sir, they are all common people, sir.
People..
Common people...
Are these common people, who for the sake of 2 feet land, will kill a 6 ft. man and cremate him in this soil?
Are these common people,
Let me tell you the history....
In this vast universe, before human being took birth, may living organisms took birth...
On an ominous hour,
human species took its birth.
Did he try to live normally?? No..
Hunger took its birth in his stomach.
To appease his hunger, in his mind, hunting took its origin.
After his hunger subsided, desire for sensual pleasures took its genesis in his body
that is origin of women.
He escorted and hunted her and ravished her.
To securely store his increasing desires at one place, he needed a place.
That became his house.
It became his property.
Did his quest stop there? No..
A new want took its roots in him.
that is “authority”.
The authority of “I and Me”.
For that he gathered all the people, who he thought were his people, at one place.
He said to them, “we all are one,
we will work together.”.
When all agreed to his plan,
he said, “I am your King...
and you all my slaves.”.
He said, “he will distribute one work to each person”.
He said that what the powerful persons do is superior work and what the weak do is inferior work.
There ... there... Caste took its birth.
That became unwritten and indelible constitution for the country.
I am telling you again.... they won’t change.
they won’t change for ever.
"Time asked, who is human?"
"Mask unveiled, leaving behind the embers."
"What ethics will guide you?"
"Which legitimacy will make you victorious?"
"If your character is pulling you down Which moral code will survive?"
"Kings no longer exist... Dominions have changed..."
"But did anything change in commoner’s life??" "Will there be any change in the future?"
"Half-century went by in fighting..."
"There are laws, but no use..."
"No answers... no life..."
"For which victory is this clarion call for war."
Brother... here they are... Come on... catch them.
Did she not care about my words because I haven’t taught her how to talk?
Did she leave my path because I haven’t taught her how to walk?
See Ramanna,
it doesn’t matter even if our neighbor is not from our caste,
but the person who sleeps with our daughter must be from our caste.
He is senior to me in the group.
He is striving hard for the group.
He is the correct person to be the leader of the group, brother.
We cannot make whomsoever the leader.
The leader must possess an exemplary trait..
must be from a particular race
must have fury in his blood.
must have a virtue to that blood.
What virtue to the blood?
You must become leader to the group.
That blood must be yours.
This blood....
I came here because I felt the blood flowing in all of us is same.
that we belong to one race.
but I didn’t expect that you will look at different shades of colors in one blood color.
Anyway, my blood must enable my life,
but it must not kill another person’s hope.
I cannot stay here anymore.
I am leaving...
See Ramanna,
you left that village and came to the jungle because you didn’t like the caste system there.
Today, you are again going from forest to village.
But some day this caste system will come scurrying into the center of your house.
It will stand upright in front of you.
It will break your heart into pieces.
Where will you go that day? What will you do? I look forward to it...
Caste... caste... caste...
I left the crusade the other day because of the interference of caste.
Today, should I leave or kill my daughter because of the intervention of the caste again.
Should I crush the apple of my eye?
Should I slay with these hands the child,
whom I nurtured and embraced?
No... don’t do it... She is our only child.
leave her... leave her.
Catch her...
Brother leave us.
We don’t have anything to do with that conflict brother.
Hey, that we know.
It is we who did all this.
You leave her here and go.
Why so brother?
You mean what this is?
There is an old rivalry between her father and us.
With her, all our old calculations will be over today.
You go...
Hey, kill him...
Leave....
With this setback your father should wash the legs of 3 of us and sprinkle the water on his head.
Move...
Mother, I am feeling hungry.
brother hasn’t come so far...
He will be there at that shop. Go and call him.
Shall I tell you one thing, sir?
If we don’t want them to come closer or we don’t want to come closer,
how many ever decrees we may legislate,
they will all be equivalent to scrap papers.
they will only be symbols of history.
Because it happened in history, you are saying they won’t come closer.
Because it is written in this constitution, I say, they will come closer one day.
This is also written by a human being,
your so-called common man.
Right now, I am resigning from my job.
I cannot do this work.
Whether you leave them or get them killed is up to you.
Everything happened because of me.
Actually, she didn’t love me at all.
I did everything.
Mine is not love actually.
Please forgive me, Ramanna...
Pushpa...
My daughter.
Pushpa...
Sir... call for you, sir.
Stop it.
Hey!
Pushpa...
Sir.
Kill that bastard.
Pushpa...
Stab him.
She ripped us of our honour. What a darned woman!
How dare you elope with our caste girl, you rascal?
The day when the past will be written in manuscripts...
The day when our paths untie as one…
The day when failed love stories will be etched in our memories…
The day when untold words appear in the constitution.
The day when love transcends caste and creed…
I will blossom like a flower To remain forever….
