Original subtitles

They are one hit away…

from winning the World Cup for the second time.

And what a way for him to lead his team!

-Come on, Dhoni! Come on! -Absolutely magnificent!

Dhoni finishes off in style!

-India! -India!

India lifts the World Cup.

He died in an encounter.

Cremate him as an orphan corpse.

If this comes out, then the media and public will raise a ruckus.

-Be careful. -For how long are we going to do this?

This is the 11th corpse in the last three months.

I'm scared, sir.

Our cricket team has 11 members, and they won the World Cup.

So, don't worry.

Let's go.

-Does this phone have a memory card? -Yes, sir.

Okay. I'm moving this video to the memory card.

-Okay, sir. -Don't worry. I'll take care of it.

Will you confess whatever you said to me now at the commissioner's office tomorrow?

I will, sir.

I will call you tomorrow at 10:30 a.m.

-Until then, keep it switched off. -Okay, sir.

-Don't meet anyone. -Okay.

-And don't discuss this with anyone. -Okay, sir.

Okay. I have to go for an urgent pickup now. Be careful tonight.

Okay, sir.

Hello, Mom! I can hear you, tell me!

There was more rush because of the World Cup Final. I'm going home now.

Did you have dinner?

Why not? Have dinner and take your meds!

Alright, it's raining here. I'll call you tomorrow.

Hello? Hello, Aravind!

Okay, I'll come next Sunday. I'll hang up now.

Hey!

-What's your name? -My name is Vasu, sir.

Where do you work?

I work at a pub in Jubilee Hills, road no. 45.

A bike was speeding in front of me when I was returning from the pub.

My bike got skidded and I fell.

I saw a dead body in front of me when I got up. I called the police immediately.

-Sir. -So, you informed us about the murder.

Yes, sir.

The pubs close by midnight, right?

What were you doing here at this time?

We have to hand over the cash and clean the pub, sir.

Did anyone see you here…

when your bike skidded?

No, sir.

-Are there any cases on his name? -No, but…

there is a word around that he behaves rudely with the customers at the pub.

Do you have the keys?

What's this?

After hearing the arguments of both the sides

and examining the evidence,

it's been proved that CC number 101, 2011, accused number one, Vasu Goppisetty,

has brutally murdered T. Aravind at Kondapur Junction.

According to Section 302, the accused has been sentenced to life imprisonment.

Attention, ladies and gentlemen.

Give way to Thimmarusu.

Battling crimes, ahead of times

It is showtime!

Your Honor, the accused Surya Prakash Bhalem…

has brutally murdered his wife

with his service revolver on 14th February 2019.

The gun, the fingerprints on the gun,

and the bullets found in the dead woman's body…

all these pieces of evidence prove that the accused was the murderer.

Hence, I request the court to look into the evidence

and impose the killer with appropriate punishment.

That's all, Your Honor.

Any statements from the defense lawyer?

Yes, My Lord.

Hey! Hey, Ramachandra! What are you doing?

Hey!

That's all, My Lord.

Are you mad?

Of course, I'm mad!

Having a bullet in a gun is not enough to shoot.

A firing spring is also required.

And my client was an ex-army officer.

His firing spring is kept in a bank locker for the past two years.

So, how can he shoot?

Thank you, My Lord.

The court orders you to be debarred from the Bar Council immediately!

The gun didn't have a firing spring when my client was shooting,

but…

Ram… boss wanted to see you.

Tell me, boss.

You're here.

You always have some expression on your face.

You wanted to take up an individual case, right?

I'm giving you a celebrity case. Rock it.

Who's the celebrity, boss?

He is a movie star.

Thank you, boss.

I'll rock it.

Where's the hero?

I'm the hero.

You… oh.

I'm sorry, sir. I am not a movie buff.

What movies have you acted in?

Nannaku Prematho, Baahubali, Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo…

and the latest movie, RRR.

Don't those movies have top actors?

That is why I have come to file a case.

I was supposed to be in all those movies.

They've oppressed me with their influence.

Give it to me.

Don't you believe me?

Shall I show you the proof?

I was the first choice for Baahubali.

This scene was the first shot with me, where Anushka walked on my shoulders.

So, Mr. Lawyer.

We will win this case, won't we?

Actually, Mr. Naveen…

you've come to the wrong place. You should go to the next street.

Next street? Why?

Is there any top lawyer over there?

No, there's a mental asylum. Go there.

Hey! Hello, lawyer!

I'll cast you as a villain in my next Pan-India movie.

-Five members? -Yes, sir.

Let me know if there's any problem. We'll file a case against your owner.

Okay, sir.

Go.

Did you lose this case as well?

Do you remember what you did recently?

We sent you to defend the son,

but instead, you defended the father.

I incurred a loss of three lakh rupees because of you.

You didn't incur any loss, sir.

I sold my car and paid for it.

Meh!

Shall I tell you a life principle as a lawyer?

It doesn't matter whether we win or lose a case.

All that matters is how much we make out of it.

For me, prevailing justice is important, sir.

-Hello. -I have good news for you.

Rao Associates is looking for lawyers…

and the interview is tomorrow.

I wish you good luck.

Thank you.

Welcome to Rao Associates.

I have good news and bad news for you all.

The good news is that one of you will be working with the firm.

And the bad news is, the rest of you will be leaving in the next one hour.

I'll give you some white papers.

Write a deposition stating how well you can work at this firm.

Sign it,

and read it to me.

I can't write. Do you have a laptop?

Working for your firm is a dream for me, sir.

This job is very important for me, sir.

Give me a bond paper… not a white paper.

It's like a testimony, right, sir?

According to IPC Section 32(1) of Evidence Act, 1872…

the testimony must be taken before a judge or in the presence of a legal adviser.

It can be taken in a written form or it can be taken orally.

But as an advocate, we should not give any testimony in a written form…

because it can be used against us at any time.

You already wrote it down though.

Is it not your failure as a lawyer?

No, sir.

I didn't write anything.

It's an empty piece of paper. It's all up here.

Okay, let's move to the second round.

The case is,

one night, three travelers were resting under a tree in the forest.

All of them were hungry.

The first person had not brought anything.

The second person had brought two rotis.

And the third person had brought four rotis.

They made four pieces of each roti.

So, there were a total of 24 pieces.

All three ate eight pieces each and fell asleep.

The next morning,

the first person gave eight gold coins to the other two

for offering him food the previous night, and then, he left.

Now they both wanted to split the coins between them.

How would you split them?

They didn't have rotis in those days.

The third person had brought more rotis than the second person,

so they should split the gold coins as per the 3:5 ratio.

Give me half an hour.

I'll crack it.

Both of them offered to help to satiate his hunger.

So, they should split the gold coins equally.

The third person had 16 pieces.

The second person had eight pieces.

The eight pieces that the first person ate belonged to the third person.

That's why only the third person should get the gold coins.

There's no need to give a single gold coin to the second person.

That's equity.

Exactly!

What's your name?

Actually, Ram is my boyfriend, sir.

We were in the same college.

You didn't leak the question paper, did you?

No, sir.

I'm just joking.

Handle him with care.

He is sharp and very intelligent.

He is intelligent but not practical.

Anyone would upgrade from a bike to a car when they win a case,

but Ram got downgraded to a bike from a car.

Interesting.

Your way of thinking is too good.

Welcome to the firm.

Thank you, sir. Thank you so much.

Ram, I selected you because…

-the law just got costlier. -Yes, sir.

Even the common man should get justice, right?

That's why I have started a free legal service.

And you'll be a part of it.

Thank you, sir.

Bring me the case file, please.

-Is she your friend? -We're college batchmates, sir.

-Sir. -This is Sudhakar.

-Hi, I'm Ram. -Sir, here are the files.

Abhiram is handling this case.

This is very easy.

Anyone can handle it.

No, this case is not for Ram.

No. I will tell you.

This is the cab driver murder compensation case that happened eight years ago.

I think it will be a good beginning.

Thank you, sir.

-Just go through it. -I will.

Go to his hometown tomorrow.

And let me know what happens.

And once again, welcome to Rao Associates.

Thank you, sir.

Okay, bye.

-Hey! -I told you I'd get selected.

Getting selected is not a big deal.

Win the case.

Anu, I'll call you in the evening.

Bye.

I'm Ram, sir.

What's with you? You didn't take the appointment letter,

and now, you are ogling at the girl.

What happened, sir?

Do you think I'm Mr. Rao?

Don't act smart with me.

Do you know who I am?

The watchdog of Rao Associates!

Be careful.

Spread your legs.

No, spread your hands.

Do you think you're Shah Rukh Khan? I've watched Sholay 18 times.

Put your hands forward.

Down!

Catch it.

Follow me.

By looking at Sudhakar's actions yesterday…

I thought he was a senior person,

but he is the assistant to the junior lawyer.

You caught me despite my top-notch acting.

Generally, I face the music at the office every day.

But somehow, I am managing.

-Sudhakar, do you want to kill us? -Come on!

Ram, did you read this?

The cab company gave the compensation amount to the deceased Aravind's family.

After the murderer, Vasu, was released on parole…

they filed a case for the compensation money.

When you subtract six from it, you get…

-Thirty-six. -Correct. Thirty-six.

And how many times four is 36?

-Nine times four is 36. -Nine times four is 36.

And 36 minus 36 is…

-Zero. -Zero.

Who are you?

We are from the bank.

We're here to seize your house as you're not paying the loan promptly.

Sudhakar.

We are lawyers. We've come from Hyderabad.

You'd written a letter to Rao Associates, right?

Yes, that's right.

Please have a seat. The class is over, leave.

Nice drawings.

My son drew them.

He's gone out. He'll be here. Please sit.

Will you have some coffee?

-No, thank you. -Tea would be fine.

Please add some ginger to it.

Sure, sir.

"The murderer is the artist of these drawings."

-The title is good, right? -Sudhakar.

What's with this behavior?

Ram.

Who are you?

We are lawyers from Rao Associates.

We don't want any lawyers.

Leave.

No, brother. We came here because your mother wrote a letter to us.

We don't want anyone. Leave.

Rao Associates is planning to take up this case.

Don't you understand what I said?

Hey, Vasu!

What's with you? Have you gone mad?

Me? It is you who has gone mad!

Don't you realize it even after getting robbed by several lawyers, Mom?

These people are nothing but scavenging vultures!

-Stop it! -Ask them to leave!

Let me try once! Just go!

Let them take our house!

-Go! -We can live on the road!

Damn it!

I am really sorry.

He wasn't like this before.

He's changed recently.

I know you were kidding before about the loan…

but that's actually true.

We kept going to several lawyers regarding our case and lost all our properties.

The bankers will take away…

this house in the coming days.

He's angry right now. I know he didn't mean whatever he said.

I'll speak to him.

No bird perches on top of a burning tree.

Nobody comes to a person who is always raging with anger.

Coming to the point…

this is the Right to Indemnity case.

To tell you more clearly, it's a compensation case.

You need to pay ten lakh rupees to that cab company.

If you keep delaying it, it'll only increase your punishment tenure.

I'll cite some reason like you're poor to get your sentence reduced.

But tell me one thing.

You were 20 at that time, right?

How did you commit murder at such a young age?

Anyway… don't lose hope.

I'll try my level best.

What is law, sir?

It punishes the culprit.

What if an innocent is being punished?

Sometimes, nobody wants to hear…

the truth.

Would you like to hear it?

Mom! I can hear you, tell me!

There was more rush because of the World Cup Final. I'm going home now.

Did you have dinner?

Why not? Have dinner and take your meds!

-…you're trying to reach is switched off. -What happened?

Sir, his phone is switched off. What shall we do now?

-What's your name? -My name is Vasu, sir.

Where do you work?

I work at a pub in Jubilee Hills, road no. 45.

A bike was speeding in front of me when I was returning from the pub.

I called the police immediately.

Sir.

So, you informed us about the murder.

Yes, sir.

-Are there any cases on his name? -No, but…

there is a word around that he behaves rudely with the customers at the pub.

-Do you have the keys? -Yes, sir.

-Tell me the truth. -Please don't hit me, sir.

-Sir, please don't hit me. -Tell me the truth.

Tell me the truth.

-Tell me the truth. -Sir, please don't hit me.

Who was riding the bike?

What's the bike number? Tell me.

Come on, tell me!

I couldn't see it because of the rain, sir.

Oh, really? If there was a girl, you'd have stared at her, right?

Tell me the bike registration number.

Tell me the truth! Say the bike registration number!

-Did he say anything? -He is repeating the same, sir.

Hey.

Get up.

Get up!

Sir.

Sir, I'm telling the truth. I don't know anything.

Sir, I'm telling the truth.

When you tell a lie…

it should be so plausible that we'd believe you.

Or else,

you should accept that you're guilty.

I know what to do…

if you are not ready to do either of these.

-Hey, Ramesh. -Sir.

Take a pen and pad.

-Okay, sir. -Sir!

-Sir, I don't know anything. -Shut up.

-The accused number one, Vasu. -Sir.

"On April 3rd, 2011.

At midnight.

At around 12:00 a.m. to 12:55 a.m.,

he was speeding on a bike in a drunken state and crashed into a cab.

He started arguing with the cab driver.

And it intensified.

The cab driver left the place.

The accused number one, Vasu, still inebriated…

chased that cab driver, stopped him at Kondapur Junction,

and brutally killed him with a knife."

Is it okay, Ramesh?

Let me go through it, sir.

Sir, I didn't commit any murder. I'm innocent, sir.

I didn't do it, sir.

Sir, everything is okay except for one thing.

What's that?

The knife he has is very small.

The stab marks on the dead body infer that the murderer used a bigger-sized weapon.

Can it be counted as proof?

-Write an FIR without any loose ends. -Yes, sir.

Sir, I got this from the pub where he works.

It has his fingerprints as well.

Would this work?

Yes, sir.

It matches the murder weapon.

Sir, please.

My mom has nobody except me.

Let me go, sir.

Please, sir.

Trust me, sir.

Sir.

Do you think he will agree?

-Ramesh. -Sir.

If he doesn't agree, then we know how to use a baton. Right?

This way, they produced Vasu in the court.

The public prosecutor, Varaha Murthy,

and Inspector Bhupathi Raju were close friends,

so Varaha took up this case and proved Vasu guilty.

According to Section 302, the accused has been sentenced to life imprisonment.

That's the story.

Poor guy. I feel like they've unfairly trapped him in this case.

Looks like he's innocent.

Two world cup tournaments have passed, and it is time for the third world cup.

Now it's pointless to discuss whether he's innocent or not.

What type of case are we working on?

Right Indian case.

Right to Indemnity case.

That means a compensation case.

Oh, this is what they taught you?!

Not just us but everyone, sir.

We weren't taught like that. Boss, what were you saying?

What else! All we can do is extend the time.

Even if Vasu has not committed the murder,

he'd have to pay the compensation.

Mr. Rao is calling.

Sir.

Yes, sir.

Okay, sir.

He asked if we're done with our work. I guess there's a meeting tomorrow.

Hey. Why are these plates dirty?

-Go and wash them! -Yes, sir.

Sorry, sir. I'll bring another plate.

The stab marks on the dead body infer that the murderer used a bigger-sized weapon.

Can it be counted as proof?

Sir, I got this from the pub where he works.

It has his fingerprints as well.

-Would this work? -Yes, sir.

It matches the murder weapon.

He was framed.

But why would the police frame him for the murder of an ordinary cab driver?

That is exactly the point.

Aravind was not only a cab driver but also a police informer.

Maybe, Vasu committed the murder and planned to evade the compensation.

Sir, if he had planned it

then he wouldn't have undergone eight years of imprisonment.

So, what do we do now?

According to our analysis, it's clear that Vasu is innocent.

So, instead of fighting the compensation case, let's reopen the case.

The court should accept this.

All the evidence should be reexamined.

The police should reinvestigate the case.

Moreover, all this is a matter of expenditure.

It is not going to be easy.

Sir, if you don't mind, can I ask you a question?

Why did you start this free legal service?

As we discussed before, it is about the common man getting justice.

Exactly!

We live in a world where people donate money just to post about it on Facebook.

We don't do anything for free, sir.

If we win this case, your client base will expand.

It will draw media attention. It is business development with social service.

Alright. We'd argue this case.

But what if we find out that he is a criminal?

Sir, Vasu has already spent eight years in prison.

Just think about what will happen if we win this case.

Okay. Let's fight this case.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Congrats.

Congrats, Ram.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

Boss, congrats--

Shake hands.

Hug for her and handshake for me?!

That's a gesture of appreciation.

It didn't seem like an appreciation hug.

-I am coming. Sorry, Sudhakar. -Who called him?

Hello, who is this?

Who I am is not important.

What I am about to say to you is important.

Why is the lawyer reopening your case now?

If the case gets reopened…

the police would reinvestigate it.

You know very well how that would go.

Are you threatening me?

I am warning you to be careful.

When two kings wage a war, the poor soldiers die first.

Hope you understand.

This restaurant's bommidala pulusu is delicious.

Boss, shall we order that?

Did you call Vasu? Where is he?

I called him two minutes ago. His phone was not reachable.

Can I order bommidala pulusu?

Okay.

He's here. Why is your phone not reachable?

Vasu, why are you late?

We've collected all the information related to your case.

These are the records of Aravind's cab company.

These are your call records.

Unfortunately, these weren't submitted to the court.

And fortunately,

this postmortem report is not tampered with.

You are safe.

Would all this work?

Except for the shackles of slavery, what's wrong in trying, brother?

May I know why you are taking up this case without charging me a single rupee for it?

Vasu, you underwent eight years of punishment for the crime you didn't do.

If we win this case, you'd get justice and our client base would expand. Simple.

Simple?

Can you get eight years of my life back?

You're living in a bubble!

I neither want your case nor your justice!

How long would you keep playing with my life for your own interests?

I'm done!

Excuse me!

Do you know who he is?

He is a murderer.

Eight years ago, he brutally murdered a cab driver at Kondapur Junction.

Do you see how they're looking at you?

They're looking at you as if you're a beast that got out of a cage, aren't they?

Not just you,

they'd even look at your mother and future children

as if they hail from a murderer's family.

It takes years for people to believe that a person is good,

but a mere second is enough for them to believe that he's bad.

There is a murderer tag on you.

That tag wouldn't change even if you die. That's why you should fight this case!

Sudhakar, let's go.

You are losing your only good opportunity!

-Why did you react like that? -I had no choice, Sudhakar.

If we do something for free, these idiots don't believe us.

Sir! Sir, wait!

-Sir. -What?

Sir, I am sorry.

I was tired of hearing the same thing from everyone.

Hereafter, I'll do whatever you say.

-I'll even go to jail if you say so. -Hey, are you mad?

We've been trying not to let that happen.

-Why are you talking about going to jail? -Please, sir.

Look, Vasu.

You underwent eight years of punishment for the crime you didn't do.

No law in this world can give you justice.

We're just trying to do what is right.

-Hey, are you blind? -Are you blind?

-You came from the wrong side! -No, you did!

Hey, talk for yourself! My bike was parked here!

-What the hell are you talking about? -Hey…

Vasu, give me the file.

As per the police FIR,

you crashed into a car while riding the bike

and that led to a brawl between you and the cab driver.

Then you chased and stabbed him with a knife.

-No, sir. -Sudhakar.

Initially, Vasu called his mother, as per the call records.

Ninety seconds after disconnecting the call,

he murdered the cab driver and called the cops.

So, can we kill a person with a knife within 90 seconds after the brawl?

Hey! Stop! Stop the vehicle!

Hey, come out!

Come out, idiot!

Hey, why are you blocking the road?

-What did you say?! -Is this your dad's road?

-Are you drunk? -Yes, this is my dad's road!

-What would you do? -Shut up!

-If I slap you, you'll faint! -I like drunk driving!

-Let me teach you a lesson. -Hey, move your bike!

Hey, what are you doing? What's with the knife?

Do you think I'll be scared?

Hey, why are you getting in the car? Get out!

Hey!

Why do you want to reopen the case now?

Ma'am, according to the police FIR…

there was a gap of 90 seconds between Vasu's mother's phone call

and the call he made to the police after witnessing the murder.

As per the video of our mock drill,

it takes a minimum of five minutes to get into a brawl and commit a murder.

So, how can Vasu commit murder within 90 seconds?

With this, you can only prove that the police investigation is improper.

But this is not enough.

Vasu's fingerprints were on the murder weapon.

You either need strong evidence or a witness.

Witness.

Well, Vasu. Why were you carrying a knife with you?

-Hello, sir. -Hello.

Here is the menu.

-Sir. -Order, please.

Is Virgin Mojito available?

-Is it available? -Yes, sir.

What about Sex on the Beach?

Yes, sir.

Of course, they'd have it if you ask.

What about the virgin at the beach?

-I am sorry, sir. -Is it not available?

Yeah, sir. Excuse me, sir. One minute.

What should we do?

-Shall we ask for another item? -Excuse me.

Reena, can you look after that table?

Sir, order, please.

Can't she take the order?

Sorry, sir. Order, please.

What? Are you both an item?

Sir, I'll have to complain about you to the management.

Complain to the management?

-Yes, sir. -Go on. I said go on.

-Three whiskeys. Go. -Sure, sir.

Reena?!

What's this?

What happened?

Who tied you up?

Get up.

Hey, what are you doing here?

-Sir. -Go away.

This is not correct.

Hey!

Don't come any closer, sir.

Come with me.

Why did you bring the knife?

Brother, one ticket to Vijayawada, please.

-Passenger name? -Reena Joseph.

It is not wrong for an individual to be independent, Reena.

But there is no need to prove your independence…

by working alone at these kinds of places.

Forget everything and go home.

Don't tell anything about this to your family. Take care.

Individuality and independency.

What a rhyme!

When a person helps a girl, that person gets tons of appreciation.

But your case is different.

Why didn't you tell me this before?

I thought it would trouble that girl.

It troubled you instead, right? Are there any more twists in your story?

-No, sir. -Thank God.

That's why the pub owner didn't agree to come as a witness

and give a negative report about Vasu to the police.

We are left with only one witness now.

Reena Joseph.

-Where is she now? -I don't know, sir.

I dropped her off at the bus stop that day.

After that, I didn't contact her.

How should we search for Reena then?

Anu, is she on any social media?

No, she is not.

Damn it.

-Sudhakar, don't say anything. -When did I say anything?

-You are talking to yourself. -What?

I was looking for potential brides on a matrimonial website. How is she?

We have similar tastes. She likes TikTok and PUBG.

She even makes sketches like me, boss.

My son drew them.

Can you make Reena's sketch?

Yes, sir.

Wow.

Beautiful woman.

She is mine if she is not married.

I have dibs on her.

What are you doing?

"I need justice. She cheated me.

Catch Reena, save men."

This is too much.

Ram, why don't you put it in a positive sense? It is too negative.

Negativity travels faster than light, Anu.

This is apt these days.

Why do you look so dull, Sudhakar?

Why did you print my number on the poster, sir?

You said that she's yours.

So, I wanted to help you.

Help, my foot!

I didn't sleep a wink last night. I was constantly getting phone calls.

A guy asked, "How come you got cheated?"

Another said, "What kind of a man are you!"

The tweets with #DummySudha,

#FoolishSudha, and #WeWantBiopicOnSudha were trending on Twitter last night, sir.

-That might be Reena. Pick up the call. -No, sir.

Please answer the call!

Hey, Sudha! What food are you eating nowadays?

How come you got cheated like that?

Are you even a man?

Speak up, Sudha!

Hey, Sudha!

Are you okay?

-Hey, Sudha! -Shut up.

-Ram, sir wants to see you. -Okay, I am coming.

Would you like to join me?

No, I have calls to attend.

Sir, we have a hearing tomorrow in the district.

Are you sure all the documents are in place?

-Yes, sir. -Better check it once again.

-Sure, sir. -Sir.

Varaha Murthy is here to see you.

He wants to discuss Vasu's case details.

-Oh. -Deal with him nicely.

-Sure, sir. -And always follow ABC.

ABC?

Always be careful.

-Hello, Murthy. How are you? -I am good, sir. How are you?

Fine, thank you.

Please sit. He is Ram.

Oh, he is Ram!

How are you doing?

I am doing well, sir.

I've heard a lot about you,

and I've learned many things about you as well.

So, you are trying to reopen the case despite knowing everything?!

Sir, are you threatening me, or are you scared?

Ram!

Sorry, sir.

An innocent man got punished because of him.

Looking at Ram reminds me of one proverb.

"A guy learned stick-fighting in three months and hit an old man."

If that old man is a sorcerer, then the one fighting him becomes Thota Ramudu.

Watch Pathala Bhairavi once more, sir.

There is a fine line between intelligence and foolishness.

The one who stays on this side of the line is intelligent…

and the one who crosses the line is a fool.

But as per the law that I have studied,

injustice prevailed on the other side of the line.

And we need justice on this side of the line.

You know the law that is found only in the books…

but I know all the loopholes in all those books.

Sir, I've worked under you. So, I am saying this out of gratitude.

Your law firm will get a bad name because of his overenthusiasm.

Ram, I have a gift for you.

Respected judges.

I accept my crime.

Prison life has reformed me into a good man.

I will stay away from envy and anger,

and as a changed man…

I promise to take good care of my ailing mother

and lead a responsible life.

I kindly request you to dismiss my punishment.

With honesty and respect, Vasu Goppisetty.

Hello.

Hello, Vasu.

Where are you?

I am in my hometown, sir.

Did you write a letter when you were in jail?

What letter, sir?

A confession letter!

Did you write a confession letter to the judge seeking pardon?

Sir, my mother was unwell at that time.

I wrote the letter out of desperation.

Do you think I am a fool?

First, you denied committing the murder! Then, you saved Reena!

And now, this confession letter! You've made a fool out of us!

Sir, that's not true. Please believe me, sir.

You wrote the confession letter, right?

-Go to jail again! -Sir, please believe me.

Sir, they-- Hello, sir?

Hi… how are you feeling?

Much better.

How are you, boss?

-Doctor! Call an ambulance! -Sudhakar!

-There is an emergency in room no. 108! -Move away from my leg!

Sorry, sir. I didn't see it before.

Does it hurt a lot?

This pain is nothing.

Vasu's backstabbing is the real pain.

Correct, sir.

We shouldn't have trusted him.

I have doubts about your accident as well.

You got lucky this time.

Otherwise, this accident would have proved very fatal.

From now on, be very careful.

One case like this is enough to set a lawyer's career, Sudhakar.

We shouldn't be scared.

We have to instill fear…

just the way Anu does.

Shut up.

Sorry.

I hit you hard, right?

Seems like you two are busy, so I'll take your leave.

Please sit, Sudhakar.

So, you want me to wait.

What is he doing here? Ask him to leave!

Ram, he explained to us why he wrote that letter.

When his mother was in the hospital,

they emotionally blackmailed him and made him write that letter.

We'd have done the same thing if we were in his situation.

Sorry, sir.

They have started it again.

-Hello, who is it? -Hello. Who is this?

Who the hell are you?

Why the hell did you print my photo citing that I cheated on you?

I am filing a police complaint against you!

Where the hell are you?

Hello?

Reena Joseph.

Hello!

Why aren't you speaking up now?

Hello.

Sir… she is in Vizag.

Reena Joseph.

One second.

-Hello. -Reena, someone is here to see you.

Yeah, I am coming.

Okay.

-Please wait. Have a seat. -Okay.

It is wrong to seek help in return after offering help.

But my case has got reopened now, Reena.

If you come to the court and tell everything that happened that night,

I can prove myself innocent.

Life has given me a second chance, Reena.

And I need your help.

Had you not saved me that day,

I wouldn't have been here today.

But…

a woman's life is strange.

It may seem like everything is in our hands,

but the Reena you knew as your coworker at the pub is no more, Vasu.

I have a great husband, two children, and a 9-to-5 job.

My life is simple and happy.

Now if I come and talk about that past incident…

Well, you have given me this life.

But I can't help you.

I am very sorry, Vasu.

Thank you, Reena.

Hello, sir.

Vasu, one second.

-What? -It's 1427.

Hello, Vasu. What happened?

I met her, sir.

She said she doesn't want to come.

She said she's married and has children, so I should not get her into trouble.

-I don't know what to do, sir. -Hey, come with us.

-Come with us! -Where to, sir?

-Hey, take him away! -But why, sir?

-Sir! What happened, sir? -Hello? Vasu! What happened?

Hello, sir. The police are arresting me.

-Arresting you? For what? Hello? -Just move!

Vasu, give the phone to the police officer. I'll talk to him.

My lawyer wants to talk to you.

Wait, sir.

Hello. Tell me, sir.

Hello, sir. He is on parole. Why are you arresting him?

Someone murdered the hotel manager, Reena Joseph.

He was the last person to see her before her death.

If there is anything, come to the station and talk.

Hey, keep moving!

Okay.

This evidence is enough.

But why was he carrying a pen camera?

Sir, actually, he is on parole.

In fact, we took permission for him to go to Vizag.

Sir…

this is the parole copy and the permission letter.

Okay. You can take him with you.

If there is any inquiry, you will have to bring him here.

-Sure, sir. -Okay, sir.

Thank you.

-Sir, I have a doubt. -Yes?

Why did you particularly arrest Vasu for Reena's murder?

He was the last person to see her before her death.

We saw the CCTV footage of the hotel.

So, we took him in our custody as the primary suspect.

Thank you, sir.

It's sweet.

Nice idea to put a pen camera in his pocket.

Luckily, it worked out well.

-Here, boss. -No, thank you.

Vasu, have this.

Who might have killed Reena?

Hello.

Is it urgent?

Okay, I will be there. Let's go.

-Auntie, I'll get you a plate. -Hey.

I thought you'd ditch me, but you didn't.

-Come. -Hi.

How is my sari?

Beautiful.

Thank you.

-Actually-- -Out of my way!

Do I really have to attend your family's function?

You should meet my family at these kinds of functions.

Otherwise, they'd arrange special meetings just for that.

Are they necessary? Come on now.

Okay.

Is that it? Look.

Show these reports to the doctor.

Miss Alivelu.

-What? -Vasu's calling me.

We're in the middle of a puja. Sit.

Yeah.

Of course, she'd inherit her father's intelligence.

So smartly, she introduced him as her boyfriend at her house.

Ram, Anu always disobeys me.

My husband's been constantly demanding things from me after he's retired.

Let's file a domestic violence case against him.

Why go that far!

What do you lack? Divorce him and marry someone else.

He must be hiding somewhere.

Excuse me.

-Hello, Vasu. What happened? -One second, Auntie.

Hello. Hello, sir.

-Yes, Vasu-- -Ram, stop it!

Hello?

Professional life and personal life are different!

I never asked you for anything until now.

If my parents accept you, we will have a new beginning together.

Can't you keep your work aside today, at least?

Anu, what are you talking about?

We'd decided not to differentiate between our personal and professional life.

And the first quality a lawyer should have is that

he should treat his family as well as a case with equal importance.

Mom…

-Mom, let's go. -What happened?

Hope you know that.

Tell me, Vasu.

I'm at the hospital with my mother. Someone here is chasing us, sir.

I'm sharing my location with you.

Fifteenth floor.

How come all of them got injured at the same time?

They fought for alcohol at the ghetto.

Cheap fellows.

Very cheap.

Please go.

Please.

There is no scope for coincidence in crimes.

Whatever happens, is interlinked.

Who was the one that killed Reena and attacked me and Vasu?

Did no one witness the incident of murder at such a big junction?

We purchase old ironware and newspapers!

Old newspapers!

We purchase old ironware and newspapers!

Old newspapers!

We purchase old newspapers!

Here are the newspapers of the year 2011 that you asked for.

I got them after a lot of effort.

If you give me Black Dog, I'll enjoy the weekend with my friends.

What is this, Sudhakar?

You left the house in a hurry with old papers. You didn't even have breakfast.

Five interesting things happened that day.

News number one.

"Husband caught his wife and lover red-handed in Hafeezpet."

Oh.

News number two.

"Two people dead due to last night's heavy rainfall."

News number three.

"The Commissioner expressed his anger on increasing missing cases in the city."

Sir! Have you seen this?

"Young Tiger's movie shoot buzz at Gachibowli." Superb.

"Production van accident in Madhapur. Driver severely injured."

And the next news is, "Intoxicated woman, drug--

-Sudhakar. -Yes?

At what time did the production van accident happen?

Between 1:15 to 1:20.

What was the place of the accident?

Madhapur.

How much time does it take for a van to reach Madhapur from Gachibowli?

Maximum 20 minutes.

At what time did Vasu call the police after seeing the murder?

At 12:55 a.m.

Oh, 12:55.

So…

the van going to Krishna Nagar from

Gachibowli must have crossed Kondapur Junction.

Alright.

Excuse me. I don't understand what you are talking about.

You've done it, Sudhakar.

Me?

The production van from Gachibowli

met with an accident at 1:15 a.m. in Madhapur.

So, between 12:50 a.m. and 12:55 a.m.,

which was the exact time of the murder,

the van must have crossed Kondapur Junction.

-So? -The driver may have seen the accident.

-So, we have to get that van driver-- -Come on, sir. You'll make a plan,

but you'll make me do all the work.

A horse shouldn't take up a donkey's work and vice-versa.

-Yes. -Exactly. Sudhakar--

-Just leave it to me. I'll take care. -Okay.

Well, who is the horse and who is the donkey here?

-Prepare the puri's dough. -Yes.

What do you want, sir?

Do you remember what happened that night?

How can I forget it, sir!

The murder of a cab driver took place on your way.

Did you see it?

I didn't, sir.

It was raining heavily that day.

I was coming to Krishna Nagar in my van.

At Kondapur Junction, I saw a guy who was around 25 years old.

He was dark and fat.

He was very scared. He came and stopped my van.

Brother! Please stop! Please stop, brother!

Why do you seem so scared, brother?

Did you watch a horror movie?

Hey, Durga.

A terrible murder took place here at Kondapur Junction.

I was so terrified when I saw that.

Get the bike and come to our usual place. Quickly.

I'm on my way. I'll be there soon.

Murder?!

He killed him brutally, brother.

-What are you talking about? -You heard it right.

That incident is still lingering in front of my eyes.

Brother, stop it right there. I'll get down.

Later, I met with an accident at Madhapur, sir.

I was unconscious for three days.

Can you identify the guy?

Do you remember anything from that day? Think once.

-Please. -I can't identify him, sir.

It happened a long time ago.

-Take this. -No, sir.

-Keep it. -But--

Thank you. Let's go.

What are you doing here at this time, boss?

Where should I sleep now?

My owner wouldn't allow all that here.

Shut up, Sudhakar. Your thinking is so vulgar.

Come, let's have some tea.

Aren't you here for that?

Sir. Here's your tea.

-Here's your tea. -Sudhakar.

As per the van driver's confession,

that guy saw the murder and informed his friend about it.

Who must that guy be?

It's difficult to even find someone you know.

How can we find an unknown guy in this city?

I am feeling sleepy. Let's go, sir.

What if we question the people in that area?

That area is surrounded by software companies, hostels, and flats.

How many people can we question?

It's impossible.

Hello.

Hello?

Hello, Dad. I can't hear you.

Ma'am, the cell phone signal is weak here. Try over there.

Okay.

Dad, I can hear you now. Tell me.

It's possible.

He spoke to his friend over the phone.

Cell phone towers, call records.

Got it.

Donkey on duty.

April 3rd, 2011.

Time, 12:00 a.m. to 1:30 a.m.

A total of 518 phone numbers were active.

What about the people who have SIM cards with fake IDs?

The guy we are looking for saw the murder accidentally.

He's not a criminal.

Only those who intend to commit crimes would use fake SIM cards…

common people like us would not.

Like that.

The person we're looking for is a guy.

So, all the girls' numbers can be…

deleted.

Now the total is 448.

The duration of his call was hardly 90 to 180 seconds.

So, the calls whose duration was longer than three minutes can be ignored.

With Dhoni's six, India chased a score of 277.

Next.

That guy is a youngster, so we can ignore elders' numbers.

Out of them, how many numbers are still working?

Sixteen.

I called all of them.

They don't know anything about the murder.

Still, we have 183.

While traveling, we must pass by two or three signal towers.

So, delete the numbers with signals from multiple towers.

The total is 106.

Delete the number of the policeman whom Vasu called.

What an intelligent girl!

So, 106 minus one is 105.

How many of these are still in the Telugu-speaking states?

How many of them have left the city?

How many of them have left the country?

How many of them have died?

Very tough.

He'd seen the murder, so he must've been nervous when he made that phone call.

Note this.

He must've switched off his cell phone the next morning.

Sudhakar, why are you not answering the call?

-There is no water supply in my bathroom. -Over there.

I have somehow managed with a paper.

Sudhakar, we've found him after a lot of effort.

-How come you're in the bathroom now? -Why? Do you set a specific time for that?

Never mind.

-Sudhakar ditched us. -Press the bell.

Oh.

Harsha Chemudu?

Yes.

That day, I was returning after watching a cricket match at my girlfriend's house.

It was raining heavily.

Hey, Raja.

Hey, Raja!

Hey, open it!

Hey, Raja!

Are you there, you idiot?

I knocked on the door several times, but Raja didn't open it.

So, I decided to go home. That's when I saw a parked taxi. It was shaking.

I started to record a video to post on Facebook.

As it wasn't clear, I zoomed in.

After zooming in, I realized that somebody was being murdered.

I was shocked.

Stop! Please, stop!

Please stop, brother!

Do you still have that video?

Yes.

Can we use it as evidence?

Okay, sir.

Fantastic.

One second.

Hello, Sudhakar. We got--

Why do you still have that video even after all these years?

I just have it on my phone along with some other memories.

Oh. A love story?

-Harsha Chemudu? -Yes, sir.

An arrest warrant has been issued against you. Let's go to the police station.

But why, sir?

Excuse me, officer. Why are you arresting him?

He deceived a girl named Sonali in the name of marriage.

Sir, she was the one who deceived me! I tried so many times to clear the issues.

And all this happened a year ago, sir.

Well, she filed a case now. Move.

How can you open a year-old case now, sir?

If you can open an eight-year-old case,

then why can't I open a year-old case?

How did Bhupathi find out about Harsha?

He did it intentionally to stop him from attending the court hearing tomorrow.

Someone among us is leaking the information.

The people who stay close to us and deceive us

are the same as the glasses we use.

We don't see them even if they're right in front of us.

What are you thinking about so seriously, Ram?

Hello, sir.

Sit down.

What else would I think about except this case, sir?

We found the witness after going through a lot of trouble,

but the police arrested him at the last minute.

Had Harsha given his testimony in the court,

Vasu would have been proved innocent, sir.

Something is going on, sir.

Every case you take up here is like a chess game.

You must play and win the game

against the lawyers who try to prove lies as the truth.

Play wisely.

And do not trust anyone.

Check yourself.

Where did Sudhakar keep the call records?

…you're trying to reach is currently switched off. Please--

It's switched off.

-Give me your phone. -Hey--

Shit.

Ram.

Hear me out, Ram.

Do you know what's the worst feeling in the world?

It's the feeling you get when your loved ones deceive you.

I'd always do everything for our well-being, right, Ram?

For our well-being?!

Right now, no matter what I say, you won't believe it.

-Just leave it-- -Why should I?

Did you do it for money, or did they promise to give you something else?

They promised to leave you alive.

This time, he got lucky.

But the next time, that won't be the case.

Who's Vasu?

Why is Ram fighting so hard for this case?

Even if he wins the case, he'll lose his life.

If you don't want that to happen, just do as I say.

Stupidity! Heights of stupidity!

Is the fear they instilled in you stronger than your faith in me?

Keep calm and think about it once, Ram.

They asked us to leave the case.

Let's just do that.

They also promised to offer some money to Vasu.

You are trying to kill justice!

And you've already killed a good lawyer inside you, Anu.

Lawyers are not good or bad.

It's all about whose side you are on while dealing with a case.

How can you be so selfish?

Tell me, who isn't selfish?

You are thinking that you would get a good name by winning this case.

Isn't that selfish?

This case is important to you, and you are important to me!

I always thought about us.

Our life and our careers.

But you are just thinking about your life and your career.

Who isn't selfish?

Ramachandra.

Defense lawyer Ramachandra!

Commence with your arguments.

Sorry.

Your Honor!

I want to question the police officer Bhupathi Raju who investigated this case.

Please proceed.

April 3rd, 2011.

Do you remember what happened that day?

Crystal clear.

When I was patrolling that night, around 1:00 a.m.,

I got an anonymous call.

Inebriated Vasu quarreled with Aravind,

then chased him, stopped him at Kondapur Junction,

and stabbed him with a knife.

Later, smartly, Vasu informed the police about it.

We have already submitted all the pieces of evidence to the court, Your Honor.

Only after examining them…

the court has punished Vasu.

Even after so many years, you remember the case details very well.

We can't forget some cases so easily.

Do you believe that…

a 20-year-old guy with no criminal background

committed this murder over a petty issue?

In my 20 years of service, I have even seen people commit murders

for a mere 100 rupees and some biryani.

On the night of the murder,

at 12:55 a.m., Vasu called his mother.

At 12:58 a.m., he called the police and informed them about the murder.

In the span of 90 seconds,

can a person get into a brawl and stab someone with a knife?

Yes, a hundred percent.

He could have killed him while speaking over the phone.

Or his mother could have guided him to kill him.

Do you believe that a school teacher from a village would do that?

Twenty members from Karnataka were killed by a serial killer.

His name was Cyanide Mohan, and he was also a school teacher.

The court doesn't need short films or mock drills to reopen an old case.

All they need is strong evidence.

True. Do you have any evidence?

Your Honor. We had the evidence, but Bhupathi Raju--

He is a movie buff, Your Honor.

He'll tell the court a new story now.

He'll say that one of his witnesses is dead and the other is in jail.

I request you not to waste any more time of the court and dismiss the case.

Your Honor.

"The day an innocent person gets punished…

is the day the judiciary loses its value," said Dr. Ambedkar.

Based on the evidence that I've submitted,

it's clear that this case was not investigated properly.

I request you to give me some time.

I will get the proper evidence.

Please, Your Honor.

Okay. The next hearing will be on the 17th of this month.

Thank you.

Vasu.

You look just like a school kid right now.

Well, I'm a good person.

The last time when I smacked you, you went to jail for eight years.

So, don't wake the beast in me.

Your mother's not well.

Take care of her.

I assume you want your son to stay with you.

Because if he goes to jail again, he will be left as a memory.

It doesn't matter if we lose…

in this fight for justice.

It'd still be deemed as a victory.

You are right, ma'am.

If we're fighting for the truth, we don't need to fear anyone.

-Let's go. -You don't know our boss yet.

Right. We didn't know about him until now.

Had we known about him…

No witness will be considered valid…

to prove Vasu innocent in court.

Ask him how good the sound of my slap is.

He'll tell you.

Your slap might produce a mere sound.

But if a lawyer slaps you, then you'll hear its sound for the rest of your life.

We'll meet at the next hearing.

Sudhakar.

Did you observe how confident Bhupathi sounded?

He said that no evidence will be valid to prove Vasu innocent in court.

Why must he have said that?

He is a mad dog.

He would have barked in anger.

Just ignore it, boss.

No, Sudhakar.

Every criminal can get caught in some way.

But it's the confidence of closing all such ways successfully.

So, what should we do now?

There must be a strong witness to prove Vasu innocent.

We just have to find him.

You don't even let me eat peacefully.

Hello.

Yes.

I was on leave then.

Abhiram had handled that case.

Ask him! Don't annoy me unnecessarily!

They expect me to work so much for such little money.

Damn!

You were saying something, boss.

What's this, boss? You asked us to come home, and you're coming from outside.

Sudhakar.

Eight years back, after Vasu went to jail, Bhupathi was on leave for 15 days.

The inspector who was in charge at the time reopened and investigated the case.

Later, he retired. We can get so much information from him.

When did you collect all this information?

Last night, when you were sleeping after having snacks.

I need to freshen up.

Pass the ball!

Come on, boys! Pass it! Quick!

-Come on! -Run!

Show me some teamwork! Teamwork! Go!

That's how you do it.

Mr. Bhaskar.

Come on!

I received a phone call that day when I was on duty.

Hello.

Sir, six months ago, a cab driver was murdered at Kondapur Junction.

The person who's in jail is innocent, sir. I know who the real murderer is.

I also have the evidence, sir. Should I come to the station?

Did you catch him? Who was that person, sir?

Brother, I'll come late tomorrow.

One cigarette, please.

Brother, matchbox, please.

A lawyer with a briefcase is more dangerous than a hundred goons with guns.

Boss, hold it.

Well said, Sudhakar.

It came out of aggression, boss.

Now tell us.

I will, sir.

I'm a thief.

I've been arrested for chain-snatching and burglary before, sir.

Inspector Bhupathi used to take money from me, sir.

He used to pressurize me to commit more thefts.

Robbing the cab drivers is very easy.

That night, I booked a cab to the airport.

I was drunk, sir.

At Kondapur Junction, I threatened the cab driver for money.

He revolted. He was about to hit me, that's when I stabbed him with a knife.

Fearing that he would die,

I ran away from there to my friend's house which was nearby.

Any progress?

I'm trying, sir. I am unable to reach him.

Idiot!

I asked him to commit theft, and he committed murder.

Keep calling him.

Hey, what have you done?

I just wanted to rob him, but he revolted, so I stabbed him.

Sir, if the cab drivers' union finds out about this, it will become a huge problem.

Even the media will get involved.

I will handle it.

Did you find him?

Sir.

If he comes out and confesses everything, then we will be doomed.

Do something about it, sir.

Hey, why did you switch off the phone?

What if the police find you?!

Police?

Let them come.

I have all the details about the money I have given to them. I will handle it.

After that incident, I stayed in my friend's house for six months.

When I fell in love with his sister,

he got angry and informed the police about me.

Then, Inspector Bhupathi was on leave…

so another inspector came and took us to the police station.

Evidence?

I burned the evidence, sir.

Without the evidence, what's the proof that he committed the murder?

Will you testify in court?

Yes, sir.

After committing the murder, he had come to my house.

He's the murderer, sir.

And he is after my sister--

Hey, you!

Hey, Murthy.

Your sister falling in love with a criminal is not a crime.

You giving shelter to a criminal… that's a crime.

Get the FIR ready, and arrest both of them.

Hey, move!

The next day, Bhupathi hurriedly got back to work.

He talked to the lawyer, Varaha Murthy…

and got both of us out on bail, sir.

Sir!

Sir!

Sir!

What should we do about them?

-Let's kill them in an encounter, sir. -Sir.

If we kill them in an encounter, they'll become heroes.

He was giving us money all these days.

Let's give him another chance.

Guys.

Can you disappear for six months?

We'll do everything as you say, sir.

Admit them to a mental hospital citing a mental disorder.

After six months, they will declare them as mentally retarded and release them.

The testimony of mentally retarded people is not valid in court.

So, the court will dismiss the case.

-Sir. Please, sir. -Hey, both of you.

Please, sir.

It's better to be alive as mentally retarded than getting killed.

Just do as he says.

Where's your friend now?

He really became mentally retarded after staying in the mental hospital.

Sir, he is confessing that he's the murderer. Get him arrested, sir.

They have intelligently pictured him as mentally retarded.

His testimony won't be considered valid in the court, Vasu.

I did stab him, sir…

but I didn't do it so intensely that he'd die.

Please believe me.

There are a lot of questions

and several intricacies.

What actually happened that day?

The first act of crime.

Suri booked the cab.

He stabbed the cab driver and ran away with his money.

That incident was recorded by Harsha on his cell phone.

Harsha said that Suri chased him after seeing him record the video.

Harsha escaped from Suri…

and got in the van that was going to Krishna Nagar.

As Suri couldn't catch Harsha, he came back.

Later, his bike crashed into Vasu's bike. Then, he ran away from there.

Something is missing. What's that?

This is the video recorded by Harsha.

The guy who came out is not Suri.

Suri had booked a cab.

Then, to whom does this bike belong?

I did stab him, sir…

but I didn't do it so intensely that he'd die.

That means…

the cab driver, Aravind, was alive after Suri stabbed him and fled.

Later, someone came there on a bike.

The guy who came on the bike was the one who killed Aravind.

He was the one who chased Harsha on a bike.

He was the one who crashed into Vasu's bike and fled.

Who's this guy on the bike?

He's the real killer.

-I'm sorry-- -Thank you, Anu.

After breaking up with you, I realized that you are my courage.

I knew that you would come back, Anu.

How?

According to Article 26,

as per the allegation of leaking the evidence--

Ram… I have already put on two kilos because of all the guilt.

Forgive me.

Anu, how did you get that video?

I am a lawyer, you know? I can also trace the evidence.

Yesterday, I'd thought of adding you to our singles' group.

Bad luck.

You two patched things up.

I think you are disappointed.

You will also find someone. Don't worry.

Me?

What does he lack, Anu? He is so fit even at the age of 50.

Let's not talk about my age.

Do you have the vehicle registration number?

You silly fellow! Why would we have come here if we had that number?

I talked to my boss.

By evening, you will get two bottles of Black Dog.

It's a limited-edition bike.

We only sold around 150 of those then.

Should I question 150 houses now?

Sudhakar.

-How many color variants were there? -Two.

Can you give us the addresses of the people who have this variant?

Sir, it's risky…

but I will certainly try it because you are Sudha's friend.

-Give me two minutes. -Thank you.

Yeah.

What will you do after finding the address?

Anu.

He was speaking to someone in that video, right?

We have 518 call recordings of April 3rd, 2011.

So, if any phone number matches with any of the bike owners--

He is the killer we're looking for.

Hey. It's mind-blowing.

Madam's brain is working sharply after the patch-up.

Sudhakar.

He's here.

-Sir, these are the details. -Okay.

-Thank you. Thank you so much. -Welcome, sir.

Bye.

-Thank you so much, buddy. -Welcome.

-Hey, Sudha! -Yes?

Zip it.

Sudhakar, out of the 150 people whose addresses we have,

142 people's phone numbers are not on our recording list.

Eight of them gave us their landline numbers.

Let's question them.

We've questioned seven of them, sir.

This is the last one on the list.

If we don't get anything from him, then we'll have to start over.

Who are you, sir?

Is Venkataramana home, ma'am?

How can he be? It's been a year since he died.

Died? How?

What else would happen if you drink every day! He died of a heart attack.

He ruined my daughter's life.

Does he owe you anything?

Ram.

The insurance policy on your husband's name has got matured.

Can you please tell me his phone number?

Seven.

Three.

Eight.

Two.

Zero.

Four.

Whose phone number is this?

Venkataramana's wife gave this number.

It matches with the call records of April 3rd, 2011.

As per those call records,

Venkataramana only called this number before and after the murder.

The person who spoke to him over the phone is behind this murder.

He is the evil behind all this.

-Vasu. -Yes, sir.

Call that number and speak as I say.

Hello.

Speak up.

On April 3rd, 2011.

At 12:55 a.m.,

a cab driver was murdered at Kondapur Junction.

The evidence you are looking for is with me.

Come to Moazzam Jahi Market tomorrow at 11:00 p.m.

with one crore rupees.

-Or else, at the same time-- -Wrong number.

Hello.

Hello?

He disconnected the call, sir.

It's him.

He said it's the wrong number.

What would you do if you get a call from the wrong number?

I'd say, "Hey, who is this? Bloody fool," and disconnect the call.

Exactly. He disconnected the call after listening to the information.

-It's definitely him. -What's the guarantee that he'll come?

Even if he does come, we've asked him to bring one crore rupees.

Will he do it so easily?

What if he sends another person instead of him?

He's been absconded for the last eight years.

Will he get caught that easily?

His doubt is right.

All these days, you've been thinking like a lawyer.

But now, start thinking like a criminal.

As DSP Bhupathi and his team are directly involved in this case,

I met the commissioner this morning and gave him all the details.

Thank you for joining us. My plan is…

Memory card.

I think it's him. Stay alert.

Cash?

Target is on the move. Keep an eye.

Damn it.

He smartly fooled us.

Anu, take Vasu with you and leave this place carefully.

-Be careful. -Yeah.

-GPS tracker! -Sir.

He is moving towards Chudi Bazaar, sir.

All of you, come to Chudi Bazaar.

-Let's go. -Sir.

Sir, he is moving towards Murgi Chowk.

-Keep tracking. -Yes, sir.

Sir, he's on Madina Street.

Okay. Let's go.

I got the memory card, sir. Where do you want me to come?

Sir, he is somewhere nearby.

He is on your left. Don't miss him.

There he is. Move.

Hey!

Don't move!

There is no bag.

Boss.

Sir, the signal got disconnected.

A strong person wins as long as he has power…

but an intelligent person wins every time.

I can see the happiness of winning the case on your face.

But the actual war has begun just now.

You started this war with a lie.

I'll end it with the truth.

Don't forget that the person you're dealing with is Vaali.

I can snatch away half of your power, Ramachandra.

If you are Vaali,

I am like Lord Ram, who punishes the wrongdoers.

I know where to hit you.

What can you do to me with one photograph?

It's not just a photograph.

The memory card which you've been searching for eight years is with me.

Are you drawing my sketch?

Nice.

I didn't expect that I'd get to see this day in my life, sir.

Will we win?

I don't know about that, but I am certain that we won't lose.

Trust me.

You had to go through a lot of trouble because of me.

I'm sorry and thank you very much, sir.

That's okay.

Sir.

May I ask you two things?

One is a doubt, and the other is a favor.

I want to meet the family of the cab driver.

I want to face them…

and tell them that I didn't kill him.

What's the doubt?

How did you get that memory card, sir?

Listen, Vasu.

We might not get the answers to all the questions that we face…

but the answer to the doubt and favor that you asked for is the same.

That cab driver was my brother. Aravind.

I knew from the beginning that you weren't the guy who killed him, Vasu.

But I was helpless then.

I had to wait for eight years to find out who his real murderer was.

Aravind? Hello!

Hello, Aravind!

Hello! Aravind, what happened to you?

Aravind, talk to me!

Brother, talk to me!

Vasu has been released on parole.

What if we reopen the case?

It's impossible.

It's an eight-year-old case.

We need both manpower and money for that.

I have a plan for it.

What's that?

Rao Associates.

They are starting a free legal service.

-Welcome to the firm. -Thank you, sir.

This is the cab driver murder compensation case that happened eight years ago.

Thank you, sir.

This is the Right to Indemnity case.

To tell you more clearly, it's a compensation case.

So, what do we do now?

Instead of fighting the compensation case, let's reopen the case.

They started to destroy all the evidence and witnesses that I was searching for.

Officer Bhupathi Raju and lawyer Varaha Murthy…

completely misled Aravind's murder case

to cover their misdeeds.

Unfortunately,

their crimes helped the real murderer, Vaali, to escape the clutches of law.

I didn't know that Vaali has been searching

for the memory card for the past eight years.

He was the one who told me about that memory card.

Memory card.

He's no God. So, he also made a mistake.

Then I remembered what my elder brother used to say to me.

-Hey, Aravind! -What?

I don't remember where I kept my bike keys.

Hey, we must keep the important things at a place which we remember the most.

As a police informer, this is my tip to the lawyer-to-be.

Ramachandra, you may proceed with your arguments.

Your Honor.

The real culprit in this case is…

Retired Police Officer Vaali Bhaskar.

Despite being a police officer,

he'd take money from politicians and businessmen like a contract killer,

kill their enemies in fake encounters,

and vanish the bodies by burning them secretly.

He'd also file missing cases for the same, Your Honor.

No one should find out about this. Sir will take care of everything.

This is the 11th corpse in the last three months.

I'm scared, sir.

Hey!

I said I'll take care of it. Just get done with the work.

The organizer of the cemetery recorded a video

and gave it to Aravind, who was a police informer.

Vaali, upon knowing about this memory card,

asked Venkataramana to follow Aravind.

Suri robbed and stabbed Aravind. After he fled,

Venkataramana came there…

and searched for the memory card that Aravind had.

Venkataramana couldn't find the memory card.

So, as per Vaali Bhaskar's orders…

Venkataramana killed Aravind,

who was still alive then.

Sir, I couldn't find the memory card.

Kill him.

The guy who gave the memory card to Aravind…

was also killed on the same night.

After six months…

when Suri's friend called the police station…

Vaali Bhaskar was in charge of the station.

He arrested both of them hoping that he'd get the memory card.

While I was questioning him, he told me about Suri

and smartly diverted me towards Bhupathi Raju.

This memory card contains the evidence.

Vaali is the one who killed the police informer Aravind.

Because of him, an innocent man got punished for eight years.

I request the court to punish him severely.

Your Honor.

Righteousness has to prevail in front of the Goddess of Law.

That's why these laws were written.

Ultimately, we all are here to serve justice.

Thank you, My Lord.

After examining all the witnesses and evidence,

Vaali Bhaskar is found guilty.

He is sentenced to the death penalty under IPC sections 201 and 302.

For misleading the case, the court orders the public prosecutor, Varaha Murthy,

to be debarred from the Bar Council

and the DSP, Bhupathi Raju, to be dismissed.

The court apologizes to Vasu, who was punished

for the crime that he didn't commit.

The court declares him innocent.

Did you have to maintain such secrecy with me?

Well, I have a doubt.

That memory card was encrypted. How did you find out its password?

We're here. Now go home.

Ram, this memory card is encrypted.

It needs a password.

Out of all the stories that Granny told me in my childhood,

the character that inspired me the most is…

Appaji. The one who intelligently preserved Sri Krishnadevaraya's empire.

Appaji, what's the solution for this?

People say that it is not wrong to use dubious ways to uphold righteousness…

but "Upholding righteousness using legit ways is true statesmanship,"

said Appaji.

HAPPY ENDING
