Ravi, come fast
- I am coming, you move on.

Come, fast

If I ever find you again on my farm,
I'll break your legs.

Hey, stop there.
Stop, I say.

If we get caught, the outcome could be dire.

Two for you and two for me.

Two for you and two for me.

Then, what about this?
-This is...

For Goddess Mahalaxmi.

Hey, did you already get the photo?

I got it last evening itself from the studio.

Ravi, you look so adorable in this photo.

I know.

Do you know why you don't look pretty in this?

Because you didn't put on Kohl in your eyes.

True.

I don't have Kohl, my grandma didn't
get one for me yet.

But I got it for you.

Wow. Kohl!

How did you get one?

Last night I went to the temple...

and crushed some castor seeds
and mixed coconut oil to make Kohl myself.

What? Did you go alone at night to the temple?

Yes.

Alone?

Yes.

Didn't you get afraid?

I did. But then I reminded myself of your
Kohl-less eyes in the photo,

I mustered courage and
went ahead to get this for you.

Sailu, when you put on Kohl in your eyes...

it looks like the white sky has
a cover of beautiful dark clouds over it.

It looks so pretty.

[ telugu poem]

Why did you stop suddenly?

What happened?

I hear some squeal, Ravi.

The puppy seems to have
fallen into that well, Ravi.

Shall we get it out?

Okay..

Ravi, can I take it to my home?

Your wish.

Come, let's go.

Today my dad is coming to get me.

We must reach home early.

I am screaming at the top of my lungs but
you are indifferent to my talks.

Answer me.

You've disrupted my life with this second marriage

There is nothing more to say,

I will take Sailu with me only if I've given
the 3 acres of land that belongs to her mom.

otherwise we don't accept to take her.

Go inside.

Go.

Be here without noise.
I will come back.

Where are you coming from?

I had gone to get some guavas, Dad.

Sailu, go wash your hands and feet.

We are wailing here but not even for formality
would your mother-in-law talk about the property.

That is your value in this house.

Why do you speak so, dear?

That is the only property she has on her name
which her mother left for her as a keepsake.

I didn't touch that even amidst the toughest times as

I wanted to preserve that so that
it could benefit her when she is in need.

How can you ask for that property from me?

I won't give it.

Didn't I tell you?

It is not important to her that she grows up with us,
the property is more important to her.

Get me some water.

Hey,

How can you drink water in a house
where you have no value?

Didn't she make it clear to you?
Come, let's go.

Hey, we have to travel for another
50 kilometres. Come.

Come, let's go.
Do you need an invitation?

Hey, sit properly

What happened, Sailu?

My father refused to take me
along with him, Ravi.

Why do you worry about them?

Moreover, it doesn't matter if both our
fathers are with us or not with us.

Come, let's go to the
Mahalaxmi temple and pray to her.

She will protect us.
Come, Sailu.

What did I ask you for and
what are you doing?

I asked you to bring a beedi from the shop
and you are playing here, are you?

Why do you beat me, rascal?

Did you just curse me?

Wait there.
I'll kill you today.

Wait. You'll come home tonight, won't you?
I'll teach you a lesson then.

What, Sailu… you don't come
home often these days.

I came but you were not there.

Okay. Come tomorrow,
- Okay?

Why is this girl not awake yet?

Sailu…

Sailu…

Hello.
-I am Suramma speaking.

I know. What's the matter?

Sailu has had her first menstruation.

So soon?

She is just like her mother, hasty in everything.

I'm alone here.
I don't know what to do.

If you could come here…

And what?

Should I carry out a procession
for her in the village?

Listen to me...
-What is it?

Your daughter has had her first menstruation,
she asks us to come there immediately.

She can't give us property but wants our
help when in need, is it?

Tell her we can't come and
ask her to do what is necessary.

Grandma, it hurts.

We don't know whether this is a boon
or bane bestowed upon us,

but every girl child must go through this pain.

Grandma, Dad isn't coming, is he?

Move aside. Move aside.

What happened ?

Both son and father got scorched in the fire.

Hey, extinguishing the fire
quickly..

Ravi…

[after 10 years]

[18th, October, 1986
Tuesday, midnight at 1:16 minutes]

[MANGALAVAARAM]

Hey, oldie… What are you looking at?

Mr. Kaasiraju…

What is it, Puli (Tiger)?

Where are we going today?

Let's go into the village first and then
decide on the further journey.

Okay, let's go.

Puli…

Why are so many people gathered there?

Where, Mr. Kaasiraju?

Near our mill.

Let's go and check what's happening there.

What are you all looking at?

Who is there?
What are you seeing?

Move...

Mr. Kaasiraju,

what did you see?

Puli, will you please shut up for some time?

What happened, Mr. Kaasiraju?
Why is everyone gathered here?

What's written on that wall?

I can't read. Please can you read it for me?

Where are you coming from?

I had gone to the field to water the field,
I stayed the night there.

Is it?

Yes.

Go. Go home.

No. The fair is happening soon, right?

Is there anything written about it?
If so, I will buy a saree for my wife.

Why don't you read it for him?
He wants to buy a saree for his wife.

You bas….

Stop it sir...

Please read it, Mr. Kaasiraju.

I have no other choice, do I?

I insist.

He's pestering me.

Between Meraka Street, Shyamala's husband,
Machiraju Chinna Prathapraju,

and their neighbor Daniel's wife,
Mary, there is an illicit relationship.

I humbly request to the villagers
to have a big heart and accept

Is that my wife's name?

Yes.

Does she have an illicit relationship?

I will kill her. I will kill her.

Daniel…wait.
I will definitely kill her.

Daniel…

No matter how much we fight,

he would never sleep without being
fed with my own hands.

I feel devastated to watch him dead.

He was with us just yesterday,

and today he is no more.
It hurts to process this, Krishna.

Somebody scribbled some shit on the
wall and he committed suicide for that.

What is this, Gurza?

I have gone numb.

If I find out who did this, I shall
make him suffer the same fate.

Move aside.

Move aside.

Move aside.

Hey, why are you pushing us all to jump ahead?

We are all patiently standing
here and watching, aren't we?

You too stand here and watch.

Mr. Kaasiraju, what was that sound?
-Shut up.

Did you get slapped?

Ayyappa, Who is she?

Newly joined SI.

SI?
When did she come?

She was posted a week ago.

Madam!

My husband has left me!

Puli… Our village has got a lady SI this time.

She looks quite bulky as well.

She's a 100 rupee worth figure!

Sir, from front or from back?

I didn't see her front yet.
From backside...

Shall I inform her that Mr. Raju
has complimented her?

Shut up. She seems to be a feisty one.

She slapped Kitty for being rude to her.
-That was the sound, was it?

Thank you for informing me beforehand.

Nani, let's go fast.

Guys, please make way.

Vasu, why are you so late?
-Sorry, sir.

Madam has been waiting since a long time.
-Who is he?

He is the photographer, madam.
-Ask him to do it quickly.

Okay, madam.

Make it fast, cover all the sides.

Okay.

We got this bottle, madam.

Are you out of your mind?
Is this the way to handle evidence?

Hold it with a cloth. Go.

Do we have any relatives of the girl?
-It's me, madam.

Who are you?
-Her husband, madam.

When did you last see her?

I went to the field after my
dinner to water the field.

When I came back in the morning, their names
were written on the wall at the village centre.

I went home with rage, to kill her

but then I got to know that
she's dead and her body lies here.

Ayappa, take his statement.

You have to come to the station when we call.

Also, send the bodies to the postmortem,
I have a few suspicions.

Why postmortem, madam?

Are you planning to cut open my friend
and take away his kidneys and eyes?

We won't agree to it.

Hey, who are you?

You don't have to instruct us how to do our job.

Go and stand back in the line
without obstructing our job.

Otherwise…

Otherwise, what will you do?

Will you beat us?
Will you arrest us?

Gurza, stop it.

Look, madam.

This never happened in our village before.

It would be better if you could ask the permission
of Mr. Prakasam before you do anything.

Mr. Prakasam? Who is he?

Madam, Mr. Prakasam is the
landlord of this village.

We can't do anything in this village
without his permission.

He's the ruler of this village.

You are lucky to have died, bloody.

Don't laugh. Don't laugh.

Like Pandavas burned all their
wealth in Kaurava's funerals,

you burned all your wealth to
your mistresses and this village.

What have you given to me?

This dilapidated bungalow
and that disrepair car.

You get the praises and I get to suffer.

I seem to have hit you more today, Dad.

Please forgive me.

Take this Aarti?

How many times should I tell you that
I don't believe in God?

Hey, start the vehicle.

[weeping]

I'm there for you.

Hello.

My name is Maya.

I got posted here as SI.

Do you think I don't know that?

Not that.

I have a few suspicions regarding these deaths.

The people here asked us to wait for your arrival
before taking the bodies to the postmortem.

In this village, we only cut living chickens
and goats but not dead humans.

Some rascal wrote some shit on the wall
and with that humiliation,

they committed suicide by consuming poison.

This is what happened here.
Write this in your report.

But…

Hey, SI. This is my village.

These are my people.

I give this body back to the earth in the form
of dust, sand, and ashes.

Amen.

Amen.
-Amen.

(humming a song)

Stop dancing and tell me what you want.

I'm thinking what can I buy with
the 50 rupees that I have.

What will you give?

Rs.50?

Is your rate Rs.50?

What?

Nothing.

I was asking what you can
give me for 50 rupees.

There is a brand new scent bottle that my
husband has sent from Kuwait. Wait, I'll get it.

Take it.

Does it really have scent in it or has your
husband peed in it and sent it to you?

Open the bottle and smell it for
yourself and you would know it.

It's okay, Nagamani.

Okay, your husband is in Kuwait since 5 years
and you are here in the shop

How are you surviving without
any romance in your life?

Just like you, I count the stars in the sky.

Mr. Kaasiraju… Mr. Kaasiraju…

Here comes the bone in the meat,
unnecessary disturbance.

Mr. Kaasiraju…

Mr. Kaasiraju…

That Puli is coming this way,
tell him that I'm not here.

Okay?

Mr. Kaasiraju…

Nagamani, did you see Mr. Kaasiraju?

He just went that way.
-He went?

Let him go, I have you here with me.
Isn't that enough for me?

Nagamani...
-Puli...

can you give me a lime soda?

Okay.

Where did he go?

Moreover, the number of women he has
been with is beyond countable.

Bloody rotten fellow.
I'm fed up with him.

Nagamani, be careful with Kaasiraju.

You...

You were hiding here?

You eat my food and abuse me, do you?

No, no.

Am I a rotten fellow?
-No, sir. I was joking. Let me go, sir.

If I ever find you speaking ill about me,
I'll slit your tongue.

Beware.

Please spare me;
I couldn't go through this again.

Hello, Doctor.

Who is it
Doctor?

He is a great man.

He is a bit sad because of the death of
his daughter but he is a romantic fellow.

Are you talking about our RMP Doctor?
-Yes, him

Did you forget what happened
in the village a while ago? -No.

Nagamani, do you remember?

How can I forget that, Kaasiraju?

Let me see...

This is the final stage of jaundice.

I can't help you.

Please don't say that.
Please do something.

Take her to the hospital in the town.

Give them this slip.

Okay sir.

What is your name?

Venkata Lakshmi.

Take it.

Do you have money to treat her in the town hospital?

We will manage somehow.

Keep this.
-No, sir.

Keep it. Take her to the hospital.

Thank you, sir.
-Thank me later.

First, take care of her.

Next…

Next, it is Gurza's house.
I'll go and inform them.

Gurza's home?

Wait, I'll come too.

Gurza's bike is not there.
Maybe he's not at home.

Even if he's there, I am not scared of him.

You stay here, I'll go and call.

Is there anybody home?

No. Why?

Then why didn't you inform me earlier?

Leave me.

Why are your eyes so intoxicating?

What do you do to them?

Leave me.

It's time for my Mom to come.

Let her come.

I am her would-be son-in-law, ain't I?

Enough of your boasting.

You act all cocky here but you don't have the
courage to talk to my brother about our marriage.

I'll talk to him, don't worry.

We shall do all this after our marriage.

We should not appear in exams without studying.

We would fail the exams.

Is it?

Your eyes, your figure…
There's no one like you in the whole district.

I doubt your mother.

Don't talk like that.

Nani..

What are you doing here?

I came to invite them to
Mr.Govind's function tomorrow.

Will you invite her?

Go,

Come, let's go.

Am I going to stay here or what?

The taste of the funeral meal is unbeatable.
The marriage function's food is nowhere near that.

But you forced me to come here.

Why are you obsessed with funeral meal?

While eating all the different varieties of food
they make as a way to honour the dead,

that taste is so scrumptious…
It's indescribable.

Please adjust for today.

I hope you will receive a funeral meal soon.

Serve me some lentil stew.

How much will you eat?

What is that, Mr.Kaasiraju?

I heard some bangle sound,
who do you think it is?

Some average figure.

My husband sent a new bottle of
scent from Kuwait. Do you want to try it?

How much?

Just Rs.50.
-50!

You can buy it if you like it.

Smell it once, you'd like it.

Puli…

Nagamani is not leaving
any opportunity of marketing.

She's selling her husband's pee as Dubai scent.

It would have been nice
if Machiraju was here.

By the way, did they find out
who wrote that stuff on the wall?

Not yet. If I find out, I'll bury
that rascal behind my mill.

What's so mysterious about it?

I suspect that Vasu fellow.

Gurza, we don't have any proof against him.

Don't say such things in public.

Do you want proof?

In last year's fair, our man beat him
and he has avenged that insult.

Bloody coward!

We don't know that yet.
Let's not jump to the conclusion.

Stop it, uncle. Let him speak all the nonsense;
why are you reacting to him?

Please come in.

Brother Vasu,
-Yes

Gurza is spreading false rumour in the village
that it was you who wrote that stuff on the wall.

Hold this.

Idiot, why do you blame me?

you idiot, because it was you
who wrote those names on the wall.

Hey, Vasu..

Hey, Vasu is beating our Gurza.

Hello, he is beating him not you.
Stay put.

Hey, why did you spill the sambar on me?

How dare you talk ill about me!

How dare you lay hands on my friend!

Mr.Kasiraju, what happened?

Hey, stop it.

Stop it. Guys, please stop it.
Please, stop it.

You have invited me to play,
why am I getting beaten up?

The Landlord is coming.

The Landlord is coming. Clean up the mess.
Clean everything up.

Hello, madam.
-Hello.

Hello, madam.

Hello, madam.

Madam, please have lunch.

It's okay, I'll come some other time.

Come now, if you have guts.

Hey, will you kill him or what?

Are you out of your mind?

Who knows who wrote those
names on the wall…

I was having a function at my home,
did you have to spoil it?

Because of you, the entire village
is fighting with one another.

Look what you have done.

If you really want to kill each other,
go to some private place and kill each other.

Go. Get lost from here.

If you ever speak ill about me again,
I will kill you all.

Come, let's go.

They'll suffer if they mess with me again.

I heard there was some fight
that took place in the village.

Because of such fights,

we have stopped conducting the
carnival in the village since two years.

It is that time of the year when we
should be preparing for the carnival.

I don't know what we should do.

Why don't ask the
Landlord for a solution?

I will go and meet him.

Sir…

Greetings, sir.

Hey, Mr.Priest...

what are you doing here?

We are thinking of conducting the carnival,
I came to talk to you about that.

Go ahead.
Who is stopping you?

It is only with the blessing of elders like you...

that we can conduct such holy programs.

Do you want money?

Yes, sir.

You paint the temple every with the money
that you collect for the carnival, don't you?

Do you know for many years have
we not painted this house?

If one gets used to philanthropy then he
would even love to fall sick.

There is no end to you and your God's
greed if I keep donating money.

If people like you renounce us,
where will we go, sir?

Hey, Priest!

Do you know the number of
bullets in this gun?

I don't know, sir.

Two.

The first bullet just missed its target.

If you ever come this way asking
money for your carnival and your God,

the second bullet will be shot in your heart.

Go.

Mr. High Priest…

Can you come here once?

Hello, madam.

Hello.

Didn't I tell you that feel free to ask me for any
favours for the Temple or this village?

He is upset about something.

Please don't take his words seriously.

No, madam.

Take this.

When is the carnival taking place?

It starts on Monday night

and will continue until Tuesday at 12:10 am
when we will light up the eternal flame.

It is very auspicious that this year the
carnival ends on Tuesday

which is the favourite day of Goddess Mahalaxmi.

Good thing, Mr. Priest.

I feel like the Goddess herself has come in your
form to start the carnival for herself.

It's not me.
It's your dedication.

Our people and our Goddess should
never have any penury.

Feel free to ask me anything that you need.

Sure, madam.
I'll take your leave.

Okay.

Hey, did I ask you to give him money?

Do you want to have a statue for yourself by
giving away all our money for philanthropy?

That's not my intention.

When they respect you as the elder of this village,
we must respect their beliefs as well.

That's why I gave him the money.

Beliefs?

They say it is auspicious to stamp a fox's tail.

Then why don't they domesticate
a fox and step on its tail daily?

These carnivals and Gods cannot
change people's lives.

Not everyone has the courage to
defy the belief in God and yet survive.

Why didn't we get the photos
from the crime site?

I have informed Vasu, madam.
He said he will give it by evening.

Ask him to get it soon.

Ayyappa, stop the vehicle.

Madam…
Stop the vehicle.

What happened, madam?

I thought I saw somebody, Ayyappa.

There's nobody there, madam.

I felt as if some strange figure
was watching us.

That's a banana plantation, madam.

You might have seen some
dried off leaves blown to the wind.

Go, start the vehicle.

Okay madam.

When is the carnival, Ayyappa?

Next Tuesday, madam.

"Beat the drums for the Goddess…"

"Beat the drums for the Goddess…"

"Take the Aarati and bless us."

"Acknowledge our devotion
and wash away our sins."

Hey, start the carnival.

"The bells of the temple should ring thunderously."

"Elders and youngsters should dance alike."

"Goddess' fair is an eye-dazzling event."

"Shower the atmosphere with splendid colours."

"Listen to our drum beats, Mother!"

"Beat the drums for the Goddess…"

"Listen to our drum beats, Mother!"

"Beat the drums for the Goddess…"

"The white beam is filled with all the colours…"

"Listen to our drum beats, Mother!"

"Beat the drums for the Goddess…"

"How can one identify who is which colour?"

"Listen to our drum beats, Mother!"

"Beat the drums for the Goddess…"

"An evil eye has befallen on this lush green village."

"It will burn this village."

"Nobody can stop it. Everything will burn down."

"Bold red letters on the white walls
will send chills down your spine."

"Nobody knows who wrote it."

"One death every Tuesday will be the norm."

"Every death would raise your freight to the next level."

"The hunt has begun, the blood must spill."

"Even if you want to escape you can't outrun it."

"Goddess Mahalaxmi… You are our Mother!"

"We prostrate before you…
Save us from death, Mother!"

"How long will you pretend to be a noble person?"

"You can't cheat the Mother
with your pretense!"

"Listen to our drum beats, Mother!"

"Beat the drums for the Goddess…"

Somebody has written names
on the wall again.

Mr.Kaasiraju, I am afraid they might have
written your name on the wall.

Why would somebody write my name?

Well, you are the worst womanizer
in this village, so isn't it obvious?

Bloody…

I'll burn all your holes with chili powder
if you speak another word.

I'm just reiterating what the
villagers are talking about.

Are they really saying this or you are
claiming that they are saying this?

Don't talk bullshit for your
sadistic pleasures.. Run fast.

Move aside. Move aside.

What is this new nuisance
in this village every Tuesday?

Whose names are written over there?

The illicit relationship between
Temple Street Karnam's brother-in-law, Mill Krishna,

and Kuwait Suri's wife, shop owner Nagamani.

I humbly request the villagers to have
a big heartand accept

How many such relationships
should we accept?

The only hot figure in this village.

First, go and check whether
she is dead or alive.

Ayyappa,
-Madam.

Get down the dead bodies.
-Okay, madam.

Is he your friend?

Yes.

The guy who died previously
was your friend too, wasn't he?

Yes.

So, maybe it's your turn next.

Be careful.

Puli…

She is not just hot.
She's hot and spicy too.

Did you see her clearly Mr. Kaasiraju?

Yes, Puli. Stand still, she's looking this way.

What? Are you clicking the photos?

Yes, madam.

I heard you have bad blood with the
ones who are dead, Is that right?

No, ma'am. That was a small fight.

Is it? So are you the one writing on the walls?

I was just kidding.

Please continue your work.

Do you now believe that it is a murder

or do you still want your Landlord to confirm it?

Sir, our Mill Krishna is no more.

Stay away.

The illicit relationships and suicides due to shame
must be your village culture. Right, Mr. Landlord?

I told you already that these
are preplanned murders.

Somebody is deliberately writing people's
names and then killing them.

The murderer…

…is definitely from this village.

He knows everything about all of you.

If I am right, he is right here, amidst us.

How can you say that these are murders?

How can they climb so high
without any stool or chair?

We don't see any such thing, do we?

That means,

somebody killed them first and then
hanged them to the tree.

This is definitely not a suicide.

This is a murder.

These people will give their lives for honour
but not kill another being for any reason.

Be careful with your words.

It's not your job to decide whether this was for
honour or vengeance. I will decide that.

Postmortem is absolutely
necessary to find the killer.

I will find it out.

The one's responsible for those scribblings on the wall

and the killings of these people,
everyone will be caught.

Ayyappa!
-Madam?

Send the bodies for postmortem.
-Okay, madam.

Ayyappa, what is this modus
operandi of writing the names of people...

having illicit relationships
and then killing them?

What could be the motive
of the person writing it?

Is he a sadist or a psychopath?

Apart from the information that these
are murders painted as suicides,

we don't have any other clues.

It's a fullproof plan.

That's why the Mary's dead
body has gone from its grave.

The whole village is filled
with wolves in the skin of lambs.

Some hide under the guise of gentlemanship
and others under the guise of eldership.

Some under the guise of innocence and...

some cruels under the guise of laughter.

Like every man has an animal within himself,

even the murder hides
somewhere between these people.

When will the postmortem
report arrive, Ayyappa?

Within a week, madam.

Let it come.

Then I'll deal with the culprits.

I don't understand what's
happening in this town.

Who is writing on the wall?

Who is killing them?

Very mysterious.

We should not take this situation lightly,

we must do something.

Well said.

Let's go door to door and ask everyone if they
have an illicit relationship and make a note of it.

People will beat us with slippers.

And if we don't write it then the
whole village will be doomed someday...

and our Kaasiraju will be the first in that list.

Am I right?

Puli…If you don't shut up,
I'll rip your throat out.

Stop your nuisance.

Why have we gathered here?
Let's do that, what's this nonsense?

Sir, I want to tell you something.

During the times of the Landlord's
grandfather, people died a similar death.

He did yagna to convince the furious
Goddess to come back to her calmer avatar.

The deaths stopped happening since then.

Zamindar's grandfather told this to your grandmother
and your grandmother told it to you, is it?

Hey, Puli. What are you talking about?
Don't you have any respect for elders?

What wrong did he say?

What has the killer got to do with
Shanti and Vijayashanti?

He is selling a false story
to us to exploit our situation.

Hey, Kaasi… do you realise
what you are talking about?

All the deaths have occurred on Tuesday,
the favourite day of Goddess Mahalaxmi.

The priest is right.

Deaths are happening only on Tuesdays.

It's Tuesday tomorrow.

What shall we do?

Tonight, let's get ten to fifteen guys together

and patrol the streets to find and
catch the one who writes on the wall.

If we find writings again then it would mean
that our village is a hub of illicit relationships.

What say, Puli?
Come, let's go.

Why have all the village
residents gathered here?

Are you discussing the deaths?

Carry on. Carry on.

Our SI is eager to catch the culprit
who is hiding amongst you.

Once she finds him,

she will rip his skin off.

She says she suspects us but, in turn,
we have a suspicion on her.

These incidents have started only after
her posting in this village.

True. She might be thinking that
villagers are naive and dumb.

Go and tell her that we have brains too.

Yes. Yes.
-You stay quiet.

If that's true, we will cut her into pieces
and offer her to Goddess Mahalaxmi.

I just cautioned you.
Why are you getting so agitated?

Puli, as a precautionary step,

make an announcement to everyone
asking them to stay put in their houses tonight.

Okay.

Since the names of those who
have illicit relationships in our village...

are been written on the walls
and they are killed every Tuesday,

and tomorrow is Tuesday,

I have been asked to make an announcement
that tonight nobody should go out,

nobody should look beyond their
walls and stay put in their respective houses.

Listen, let's search the entire village.

We should grab that killer at any cost tonight.

Okay, bro.

Mr. Kaasiraju, I'm telling you that I can't see at
night yet you are taking me along with you.

I'm scared to venture out alone, Puli.

Two of you go to this side.

And you go this side.

Gurza bro…

Hey…

Guys, go this way.
-Okay, bro.

The culprit is hiding somewhere here.

We should nab him anyhow. Search!

Get down...
Get down...

Hey… there he is.

Daniel, give me the spear.

Nani, was it you all the while?

Sailaja!

[18 months earlier]

Sailu…

Here, take this.

Raja!

What are you doing?

Who are you looking for? Sailu..

Do I look like a monster?

No, sir.

When I came across you
Then why are you afraid of me?

Sailu, do you know why I talk closely only
with you but not the others?

Because you study well
and are very well-behaved.

No Lecturer will let a student like you go away.

Including me…

Hello. Are you searching for this?

Where did you find this?
-In the parking lot.

Your name?

Sailu.

Thank you, Sailu.

This gentleman is the new
English lecturer of our college.

Today onwards, he will take your English classes.

All the best, sir.

Thank you, ma'am.
-You are welcome.

Thank you.

My name is Madan.

I'm going to teach you English classes from today.

You all like English, right?
-Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

Sir is looking at you.

Sir!

Sailu, why did you come
here wrenching in the rain?

Come. Get in.

Wipe yourself.

I made this sweet for you as it is your birthday.

While I was on the way, it started to pour.

You have found out a lot about me
without me telling you anything.

Great.

It is delicious.

Thanks.

Sir, I'll leave.

It's raining outside.
How will you go? Sit.

You may leave after the rain subsides.

Come...

Sit down.

This rain, a delicious dessert,

and a lovely lady who knows all about
my interests sitting beside me.

Wow, what a special day!

Shakespeare once wrote in his book that he had
experienced a similar situation. Do you know that?

You must know all this, Sailu.

A lot of people make the same mistake,

there is an unknown world in the poems
and stories that we must explore.

Wait, I have that book somewhere here...

This one.

Everything happened like a miracle that day.

Oh, I'm so sorry.
You don't understand it.

Wait, I'll translate it into
Telugu and read it for you.

Everything happened like a miracle that day.

I didn't anticipate that she would come for me.

It feels as if nature sent her
to me to find the answers.

It is raining cats and dogs outside

but within our hearts are eager
to close the distance between us.

Her heart craves my touch…

I can see that in the droplets
slipping on her skin.

The words will fall short to praise her beauty.

A strong unknown force is
motivating me to touch her.

Maybe she feels the same.

That's why,

I feel that every cell is screaming
to me that it belongs to me.

She should feel my first touch
as an eternal signature.

Sailu…

Sailu…

Sailu…

Sailu…

"Don't know why..."

"but my heart has become restless."

"Shall I stay…
Shall I immerse myself in you"

"like an unstoppable quest!"

"Shall I engulf you…"

"Like the smell of tender
jasmine engulfs the forest!"

"Immerse me in yourself and
submerge yourself in me."

"If I am the dumb flute…"

"You be the Krishna who plays it."

"I am the darkness of the night."

"Rusted with all the dust, I remain here."

"My love, come to me like the God of romance."

"I am not me anymore,
I want to be like you."

"In fact, I am you henceforth."

"My every cell screams to be with you, "

"that's how it is!"

"Immerse me in yourself"

"and submerge yourself in me."

Your father has arrived
- I'm already late for college

"Wind… don't dare to come in between us."

"If you do, you might just get suffocated."

"I was like a seismic wave…
He was like the still seawater."

"I plunged into him like a river
plunges into the sea."

"Shall I engulf you…"

"Like the smell of tender
jasmine engulfs the forest!"

"Immerse me in yourself and
submerge yourself in me."

Dear students...

Today's English lecturer is on leave.
I will take the class now.

Open financial accounting books.

Move..

Move..

Congratulations sir.

Happy married life sir.
-Thank you sir, thank you

Why did you marry so early, Madan sir?

We are in a relationship with
each other for three years.

Okay.

We were planning to get married for a long time.

Oh!

But it happened now.
-Congratulations sir.

Thank you so much madam.

Careful.

I'll be back.

Why are you standing here?

Look, Sailu.

You are like a chapter in Shakespeare's novel.

It is irritating to read the
same chapter over and over.

But it seems great when read seldom.

And if read only once,
then that gives an unforgettable experience.

You are not a chapter that
I will get a chance to read again,

that's why when I have the opportunity I must read it.

So I did.

I hope you understood.

Now if you excuse me, I'll go.

What happened, baby
-I'm her favourite teacher.

She is upset that I'm going away.

Grandma…

Grandma,

did you take your medicines?

Grandma…

Grandma…

Grandma…

Grandma…

She has lost her guardian.

Now as a father, it is your responsibility to
take care of her, Satyanarayana.

What are you saying, brother?
We are living a very modest life.

It is not so easy to raise a teenage girl
with our financial situation.

We can't afford it.

So what do you say?

Nothing. She has 3 acres of land in her name.

We have been asking for that since ages.
If she gives that land to us,

we can finish her studies and
get her married to someone.

Is it important to talk about that now?

We should talk about it right now.

If she doesn't give me the land
then I would go my way and let her go her way.

We will live our lives separately.

We have been asking for it since our marriage.

Now what did she take along with her?

Is this what you want?
Take it and get out of here.

How proud of you...

How dare you insult your father in public!

You don't deserve to be called a father.
Get out.

I would not come here ever again.

Come, let's go. Come.

If you continue this attitude, you too will die
a lonely death just like that old hag.

What are you thinking about, Sailu?

Sailu..

If my husband finds out about us.
He would kill both of us.

Let him kill if he wants.
We both will go to heaven together.

Wait, I need to go home.
I'm getting late.

Nagamani, give me a cigarette.

Why are you taking that from beneath?

I very well know what you like and dislike.

Krishna… That is Suramma's
granddaughter, isn't she?

Yes.

Everyone was talking about her and hyping her
beauty but I didn't pay heed to their talks.

Now that I see her, I feel their hype is justified.

She can be rated as well.

You would have already rated her. Tell me

I'll reveal it at an appropriate time.

Vasu!

Sailu… Come, Sailu.

I want a passport-size photo.
-That's it? Come.

Ready, Sailu.

One minute.

Look down. Stay still.

It's done.

When will you give it to me?

Tomorrow. I'll come and hand it over.

No, I'll come myself.

Okay.

[The crowd is chattering on the running bus]

What happened?
Why are you so late?

I had some other business to take care of.

She has high regard for me.

She doesn't say no to anything that I ask.

You can enjoy as long as you want,
she won't object.

Okay?
-Okay.

They are my friends.
I wanted to introduce you to them.

Have a chat with them for a while.

What should I talk about?

Don't act as if you don't know what I mean.

Engage them for a while.

I'll come back in 30 mins.

You may go ahead.

You said she will cooperate
but she is not cooperative at all.

What happened?
-She pushed me away.

How dare you push my friends!

How dare you raise your hand
in front of my friends!

I feel pity for you, but you display arrogance.

I'll see your end today.

She stole Rs.10000 from my cupboard.

My friend caught her and
this witch broke his head.

On top of that, she cries like a sissy.
Get out of here.

If I ever find you again here, I will kill you.

Did you call me?

Hit me.

I told you to hit me

Hit me.

"My dear life!"

"Your silence is a deadly arrow"

"Oh body!"

"Are you a flower that stays
afloat in violent breezes?"

"With the form alike the moon."

"Unquenchable thirst...

Look at her...

What is the curse?"

"Did this whole world..."

" drink all the nectar..."

"...and spit poison on you?"

"How long is this agony?"

"How to stop this misery?"

"How should I carry this void?"

" How to stop my tears?"

"The mind has turned into a child."

" I haven't slept since a long while."

"The flame burns relentlessly "

" The Anger swells unstoppably"

"Oh dear Spring!"

"Does your breath exude snowflakes?"

"Oh dear shore!"

"Is the Godavari drying out
in front of my eyes?"

"Whose crime is it?"

"Where is the coast?"

"The burden of a lifetime!"

"My dear life!"

"Your silence is a deadly arrow"

"On the fate…"

Suramma's granddaughter
Sailaja is crossing all her limits, sir.

You have to make a decision
about her soon, sir.

Get her here.

Open the door.

Coming.

Prakasam sir has called you.

What happened?
Why did he call me?

Won't you come without a reason?
You witch...

Come. Come with us.

What did I do? Why are you taking me with you?
-Come. Walk…

Come, you,

Come. Walk…

Move...

Sir, she is asking for reasons
when asked to come.

Do you know why I got you here?

Why are you not answering?
Speak...

I'm asking you.

Silence is not an answer, it's acceptance.

Don't you have any shame to roam with
every other man in this village?

A village is not just a few people
and a few houses.

It is one huge family which
has its traditions and customs.

And I won't permit people to disrespect
the customs of this family.

She knows that she is wrong.

That's why she is silent, sir.

Permit us, sir. We shall force her to
accept all her misdoings within minutes.

You don't deserve to stay in the village.

Throw her out of the village.

Why are you sitting here yet...
Leave me.

Take her.

Move...

Move...

Go away... Go…
-Please no...

I beg you...
-You...

Move..
come on walk...

Move...

Is this a village or someplace
where you can act as you please?

Move you...

Move... go..

What are you looking at..?
Move...

Hit her.

Don't hit me.

Go away.

Don't you dare step into this village again.

Good riddance.

Hey, pull out carefully..

Make arrangements for the last rites.

We shall burn her body.

Only a fool will carry out her last rites.

Throw her body in the river.

PRESENT

Hello, mdaam

Praise the Lord, madam.

Madam… I didn't kill anyone, madam.

Gurza's sister and I love each other, madam.

I thought if I'd write our names on the wall,

the next day the whole village
would find out about us,

and then Gurza would have no other
option other than getting us married.

I'm not connected to
those deaths at all, madam.

You have told this story umpteen number of times…

Shut up and sit.

Madam, postmortem report.

What is there in the report, madam?

He is not the killer we are searching for.

The whole village is in chaos, madam.

Why?

Since the day the doctor claimed
that he saw the ghost,

the villagers are scared that all these
are a result of some paranormal activity.

Whether it is a man or a ghost…

Tomorrow is their last Tuesday.

"The delicious mango pulp."

"A piece for you and a piece for me..."

"The delicious mango pulp."

"A piece for you and a piece for me..."

"The delicious mango pulp."

"A piece for you and a piece for me..."

"Appalaraju's wife is sleeping
with Subbanna."

" Subbi's wife is courting Naganna…"

"At Mr. Naidu's farmhouse,
there's always some screwing."

" Guruvayya is tussling with
Narsamma in the hut.."

" Katti and Kalyani are going all out it seems."

"The delicious mango pulp."

"A piece for you and a piece for me..."

"The delicious mango pulp."

"A piece for you and a piece for me..."

" Look, look, Venkatalacchimi ate mango
with Veerababu in the mango grove."

" Narasamma is making Potaraju
do some hard work in the fields."

"There goes Pullamma, Here goes Ajaam,"

"Run into the banana plantation…"

" Surisetty and Sundar Rao are
entertaining the neighbour"

"The throes of pleasure echoed
from their backyard."

"Hey, lily flower Malli…"

Hey, what song are you singing?

"Hey, lily flower Malli…"

"Lily flower Malli teased Kanthamma…"

" The day before yesterday this happened
and yesterday something else happened "

"Saroja gulped down Venkatarao completely."

"The delicious mango pulp."

"A piece for you and a piece for me..."

"The delicious mango pulp."

"A piece for you and a piece for me..."

" Brother, look at the rustling bushes.
A magnificent gun shot."

"The legs of the cot are harmoniously rattling."

"This whole world is a maze of infidelity."

"When it gets dark, some people
behave like aroused dogs."

"Putareku Pullamma and her neighbour Enkanna
are jamming together in the sheets."

"The alley Nagamani and Odisela Errodu
Are Bending and bending and bending…"

" Between the legs of Kalavati"

" Look at the red nose of the parrot
between the legs of Kalavati."

"The delicious mango pulp."

"A piece for you and a piece for me..."

"The delicious mango pulp."

"A piece for you and a piece for me..."

You mistook Nani to be the culprit.

He is not the killer, is he?

No. He is not.

The first Tuesday, the writings were found on a
wall in the center of the village.

The next Tuesday the writings were found
on a wall in the outskirts of the village.

Uncle, you take them along with you and
search the whole village

and I'll take the others and
search around the village.

Tomorrow should be the last
Tuesday of those culprits.

Come, let's go!

Hey, damn it!

Who is it?

What happened, Kittayya?

Goddess Mahalakshmi…

Goddess Mahalakshmi…

It has been our tradition for many generations
to go around the village on Tuesday,

the favorite day of Goddess Mahalakshmi,
without being seen by

anyone and then walk through fire before
submerging this in the lake outside the village.

Is this one of your gimmicks?

There is no gimmick.

It is Goddess Mahalakshmi who is killing the villagers.

It is very obvious that an ardent devotee of the
Goddess Mahalaskmi would hallucinate her presence.

The entire village will be destroyed.
trust me.

The entire village will be destroyed.
trust me.

Again someone wrote on the wall

Let's go!

Tonight we must see the end of that writer.

Gurza…

Whose name is being written on the wall?

He is Puli Raja.

Will Puli Raja contact AIDS?

There is no cure for AIDS, only prevention

This is why it is mandatory to study until the 10th.

You don't know how to study yet you were shouting.

I wasn't shouting, I heard him shouting
and joined him. That's it.

Somebody has misdirected us and
got us to the village outskirts.

That means something is going
to happen in the village.

Let's go!

Doctor, you acted well to pretend
as if you know nothing and you are naive.

I don't know if the villagers trusted you when
you claimed to see the ghost but I trusted you.

You did well to create a non-existent
ghost and scare the entire village, doctor!

That's why I followed you
to see the ghost personally.

You were very confident that the villagers won't
allow for the postmortem of the dead bodies.

That's why you used anesthesia on them, didn't you?

We found that in the postmortem report.

Don't try to run away.

If the villagers find out, they will kill you.

When will you stop writing people's names

on the walls and killing them?

Until when,
Why are you doing this?

For Sailu.

Your mistress, Sailu?

When you told everyone that you saw her ghost,

investigated about both of you.

I found out everything.

Since the villagers ousted your mistress,

you are killing the villagers
for your vengeance, are you?

If you speak another word, I'll kill you right now.

The things that you see with
your eyes are not always true.

What is not true?

Is it not true that you are the one
who wrote the names on the walls?

Is it not true that you killed those four people?

Was it not your plan to blame
the deaths on a ghost?

Yes, they are true.

But the reason behind it is different.

The villagers know a different Sailu...

and I know a different Sailu as a doctor.

Do you know in what state I found her?

That day I felt sorry for Sailu
when I found her covered in wounds.

Hey, girl...

Stop. What are you doing?
Stop it.

Listen to me…

Wait.

I said stop it.

Have you gone crazy?

I don't have enough courage to kill myself, doctor.

Please kill me.

Doctors don't kill people,

we save them.

Don't worry.

Tell me what's your problem?

I understood that she was
in some grave trouble.

This body is a great gift given by God to man.

Although such a body may have many curses
that man cannot fathom, Mr. Vishwanadham.

Since two days, I have been in constant touch with her,

I have also done some tests and got the reports.

It's not a disease like you think,

it's a hypersexual disorder.

What do you mean, ma'am...?

She is a nymphomaniac…

A victim of compulsive sexual behaviour.

A type of psychosexual disorder where
she is forced to crave sex despite her unwillingness.

Compared to the sexual hormones
released in normal girls,

this girl has 10 times more hormones being released.

What is the reason for this madam?

There is no one such thing that
can be pointed out, Mr. Viswanadham.

Maybe the situations she faced since childhood,

in some cases child abuse may be the reason,

loneliness, psychological stress,
hormonal imbalance, it could be anything.

People with this disorder are more likely
to remain secluded, not talk to anyone,

and seek solitude.

Due to shivering their
body is not under their control.

In many cases, they injure themselves
and control their desires with that pain.

What is important for them is what their body wants
at that moment rather than what is happening around them.

After their desire is fulfilled, they are haunted
by the pain of having made a mistake.

Unable to bear that mental crisis,
many commit suicide at this stage.

There is no one with her madam.

She's an orphan.

I thought she was in some minor trouble,

but I didn't expect her to be
grappling with such a big problem.

What can we do to make
Sailu normal again, ma'am?

There is no cure for nymphomania, Vishwanatham.

With drugs like anti androgen,
we can control hormonal activity

but the rest depends on her mental condition.

They are patients, Vishwanatham.
They are victims of mental illness.

More than the medicines, they need an
assurance of support to treat them.

Take care

I married off my daughter four years ago

one fine day, she committed
suicide by scorching herself.

She never shared her problems with me.

At that time I was in pain that I could not save my
daughter and when Sailu came to me with her problems,

I saw my daughter in her.

From that day I started treating Sailu's problems.

I became a father figure to her.

I treated her like a kid so that her
past trauma never haunts her anymore.

Enough!

It's okay...

I tried my best to keep Sailu safe but some
discontent would haunt her.

I don't know whether that is past trauma
or concern about the future.

What happened, Sailu?

Did anyone tell anything to you?

I am not a Goddess that everyone
would prostrate in front of me.

Also, why should I live?

Who would cry for me if I am dead?

Right then,

one person entered Sailu's
life to reignite her passion for life.

What are you doing here?

These are dire situations for the village.
Go away from here.

Hey! Come…

Who is he?

Who are you?

Who are you?

You think you don't have anyone

but there is a person who lives only for you.

When you put Kohl in your eyes

it looks like the white sky has a cover of
beautiful dark clouds over it. It looks so pretty.

Wear it, Sailu.

Ravi…

Ravi…

I thought you were no more.

Where did you go, leaving me behind?

Where were you all these years?

Where were you?

Take. Coconut sweet. Have it.

I will leave. Ravi is not here.

I'll come in the evening.

Ravi will come. Take this.

Ravi…

I am scared, Ravi.

I'll come later.

Both son and father got scorched in the fire.

Hey, extinguish the fire

Ravi…

From that moment,

although I didn't come in front of you,
I always followed you like a shadow.

Because of my Dad's misdeed,

I couldn't face anyone from the village.

While the whole village
thought that I was dead,

I thought to remain dead for you as well.

That's why I didn't come back to this village.

I was behind you when you were happy,

I remained behind you when you were sad too.

But I was helpless.

Sailu…

I can't stay away from you.

I'll take good care of you.

Will you marry me Sailu?

No, Ravi.

No

I am not pure anymore.

I don't deserve to have any partner in my life.

Please, no.

Sailu...

You think your body has become impure

but look through my eyes

Your heart is very pure, Sailu.

That is enough for this life.

If both of you want to stay together
for your remaining lifetime,

marriage is your only option.

Both of you get married and
go far away from here,

leaving all the past behind, and be happy.

Tomorrow we are going to the town to buy all the
necessary items for marriage

and the next evening you both shall get
married in the temple of Goddess Mahalakshmi.

I thought the next day would bring light
in her life but it brought darkness.

Hold-on, hold-on

Mahalaxmipuram..
Get down! Get down!

Right! Right!

Hey, wait,

where are you running to?

Were you not in town yesterday?

No... Why?

You know that Sailaja, right?

The Landlord has ousted her from the village.

The whole village lynched her
and threw her out of the village.

Not able to bear that insult, she committed
suicide by drowning herself in the lake.

We are going there, doctor.

Start preparing for the last rites.

Let's burn the dead body.

Only a fool will carry out her last rites.

Throw it away in the river.

No need.

I will call the town municipality.

They will come and take her away.

Guys, let's go.
The doctor will take care of it.

Sailu…

Sailu…

Sailu…

Sailu…

Sailu…

Get up Sailu...

Sailu…

Sailu…

Get up…

What happened?

So, it is not just you who is killing people.

There's one more person with you.

Sailu didn't disclose her problem to the villagers

but why being a doctor
why did you not disclose it?

Don't talk like an idiot.

We are living in a society that sets aside girls who
are in their periods, claiming that they are impure.

That being the case, do you think this
village will accept Sailu's problems?

Will they even believe it?

What can the villagers do
if she committed suicide?

Is vengeance the only solution for that?

Hey, SI…

Sailu didn't commit suicide...

It was a murder.

What are you talking about, doctor?

Yes. Sailu didn't kill herself.

Those six people killed her.

And we killed four people out of those six people.

[singing song]

Lachamma would have killed
the fifth one by this time.

The fifth one is the photo studio Vasu.

Now the sixth one is left...

and soon he will die in my hands.

Who is that?

Tell me.

Who is that sixth person?

Do you know who wrote the
names on the wall?

Did you find out who killed those four people?

Did they write any new names?

What?

Are you so excited to find out about this?

Shall I tell you?
Shall I tell you?

Who is that sixt person?

The most respected lady in the
village, Landlord's wife!

Rajeswari Devi.

After committing a grave sin,

you are pretending to be innocent, are you?

You don't deserve to continue living...

Why did you do this?

She is a prostitute, madam.

Nobody will believe her.

If she speaks ill about you,
people will kill her there itself.

An eye-witness is more dangerous
than a venomous snake.

What if she tells this to anyone…

No, I should not leave her.

Nobody in this village knows
that four of us work for you, madam.

Tell me, what shall we do to her?

Kill her.

First, we should disconnect her from the village.

We should make the villagers...

and the Landlord believe that
she has an immoral character.

Move...

Move..

Expel her from this village.

After that, I will tell you how to kill her.

Come… You,

Move...

Leave me.

I will go away from the village.

How can I let you go?

Your body is stimulating me.

Vasu!

Madam, I couldn't reveal anything about both of you.

I will go away from this village.
let me go.

My life is going to change from tomorrow…

Please..

You have spoilt so many nights for me.

I can't sleep peacefully while you are alive.

She should not be alive.

Kill her and throw her in the well.

No.. please no...

No, leave me.

You don't deserve to live.

One who is blinded by lust
has neither fear nor shame.

Greed makes a man get corrupted and
lust makes the heart corrupted.

People like you who are corrupted with the desires
of illicit relationships are corrupting the entire system.

You are filled with deceit and trickery,

blinded by lust you have killed innocent people.

Animals like you must not go unpunished.

There are good people
and bad people in a village.

But people like you who pretend
to be good should not be alive.

You must die!

No..

No..

No..

Die!

Sailaja...

Hush, Puli.

I know she was like a mother to you,
but your tears won’t bring her back.

Please, stop this sorrow.

How did this happen?

She couldn’t bear the sight of so
many deaths in the village.

That’s why she set herself ablaze and offered her life

to Goddess Mahalaxmi for the
greater good of this village.

You are so great, for sacrificing
yourself for the sake of this village.

As police, sometimes we let the guilty walk free
and sometimes we catch the innocent.

There are various reasons for these decisions.

Once upon a time, God would descend to this
earth in one of his incarnations to defeat the evil.

I wondered why he wouldn’t do the same
now when crime is rampant.

But I got the answer in the
form of goddess Mahalakshmi.

God has stopped taking the form
of an incarnation to fight crime.

Instead, he is punishing humans for their
sins through other humans.

This is the absolute truth.

You killed your wife because she sinned.

But why did you make her a deity for the villagers?

The villagers believed her to be the epitome of good,

if they find out about her true nature,
they will cease to believe any human henceforth.

A society with no trust will not have love, fear,
devotion, compassion,

and all other emotions that keep us sane.

That is why I burned the truth along with my wife.

Doctor, I answered your questions.

Won't you answer my question?

You told the SI that you and Mahalaxmi were
not in town on the day when Sailu died.

Then who is the third person
revealing the truth to you?

If someone knew that I am not blind,

no one would give me alms.

Sailu…

This girl didn't commit suicide as you may think.

She was murdered.
