Bring them here, no matter what.

The good and bad we do in life...
they always haunt us.

[An old Telugu movie song is playing]

Who is it?

Is anyone there?

Open the door.

Who are you?

Who are you?

The darkness...

the darkness that will swallow you...

Understood?

You need an explanation?

I won’t give you that...

What is this... ?

There's no point in yelping

Where am I?

You're right here, right here.

Right here?

What do you mean?

In a highly confidential interrogation cell.

Why am I here?
-Shh..

I'm the one who asks questions here,

and you provide the answers.

It looks like our guys hit you pretty hard.

Hey

I told you to bring him carefully, didn't I?

Does it hurt?

I don't know.

I don't remember anything.

You won't remember anything.

You won't remember any events
from your life, not even your name.

My name...?

Your name is 'Abhinaya Vasudev.'

Abhinaya Vasudev!

What happened to me?
Who are you people?

My name is...

"Senior Officer."

What do you want from me?

Why have you locked me up in this dark room?

Vasudeva... Vasudeva... don't get agitated.

There is a lot we need to know from you.

Once you tell us what we need to know,

once we have the information,
we'll send you right out of here.

Laughing, are you?

"The Dark Circle," "Chaos,"
and "Fear" are ahead of you.

I don't even remember my name.
What can I tell you?

You can tell us.

Every problem has a solution,
and this is the solution to your problem!

What? Do you think this is some kind of clock
that just sits on the table, going tick... tick... tick?

No.

This is an advanced hypnosis machine.

It will take you into the subconscious
and make your brain surrender to my voice,

extracting the hidden memories from you.

To put it simply,

it will make you remember only those events of your life
that I want to know about and you'll tell us those.

You will share that information with us.

So, why delay any longer?

Find out what you want from me
and let me go.

I can't stay in this dark room any longer.

April 22, 1979.

You opened and read a letter
addressed to Abid Sheikh.

What was in it?

What was in that letter?

What was in that letter?

I don't understand...

It's written in a language I can't comprehend.

I don't understand…

I find it incomprehensible.

It's written in a language I can't comprehend.

I don't understand…

What's in it?

What's this?

Alright.. alright.. alright.

Don't strain your brain too much.

It's already a fragile one.

We'll get back to that letter later.

But first, tell me why you have
this habit of reading other people's letters.

Who are you?

Who are your parents?

Where did you come from?

Calm your mind and speak.

I'm an orphan, this Ashram has
been my home since forever.

I have always been lonely despite
being surrounded by several kids.

I would always wonder where my parents were.

Good son.

At a time when I knew nothing about relationships,
a letter made me experience a mother's love.

Dear son, Your dear mother is
writing this letter to enquire,

how are you? Are you eating well?

Do not neglect your health
by concentrating on studies.

Please sleep on time.

Here, your sister is remembering you time and again.

We are all waiting for your arrival here.

Yours lovingly, Mom.

Mom!

That letter seemed to be written
by my mother for me.

I would feel the urge to read every letter I find.

Since then I have been looking for bonds in the letters.

Dear Husband, how are you?

Bujji and I are fine here.

Bujji misses you a lot and
keeps asking when you’ll come home.

She’s becoming naughtier by the day!

I hope you're earning enough to take
care of and provide for our daughter.

Master!

What is it?

Can you please tell me where my parents are?

You don’t have any parents.

But no one is born without parents, right, master?

I believe my family must be somewhere nearby.

Don’t bother me.

I’m telling you, you have no parents—
why won’t you listen?

At least tell me who brought me here!

I’m telling you, you have no parents, aren’t I?

Now get out!

Get out.

Dear, how are you?
Bujji and I are fine here.

Hey, Vasudev.
What are you doing here?

Nothing, sir.

Hey Vasudev, stop.

What are you doing here?

Nothing, sir.

Don't you have any shame in reading other's letters?

I didn't read, sir.

You just read it and now you
are lying to me. How dare you lie!

Maybe your parents knew how disgusting you'd
turn out to be and that's why they abandoned you.

This Ashram is providing refuge
to even a person like you.

You'd have no place to go if this
Ashram was not there.

Maybe your parents knew how disgusting you'd
turn out to be and that's why they abandoned you.

You'd have no place to go if this
Ashram was not there.

That day, I got angry at what Master said,
so I took the money from there and ran away.

You took the money and ran away?

That's called theft.

The theft you committed became
a death trap for someone’s life.

She had saved that money for
her daughter’s operation.

Because of you, that girl died.

No, that can't be.

His daughter wouldn't have
died because of me.

Yes, you! You are the reason she died.

Whether knowingly or unknowingly,
you are responsible for her death.

That's enough for today!

Stop! Don’t go.

Stop! Don’t leave.

I am not the reason for the girl’s death.

Open the door!

Is anyone there?

Is anyone there?

Is anyone there?
Speak up!

What, doctor?
What happened?

He is exhausted,

seems he hasn't been eating properly.

One such crazy lady hanged herself with
the cloth that was given to her for wearing.

Such is his case…

How difficult it is to just eat and sit calmly?

Who are you?

Who are you?

It's up to you whether you eat or not;
it's my responsibility to serve you.

Dad, please have this coffee.

Why did you get it, dear.
You are pregnant, you should rest.

It's okay, Dad.
I'd feel good if I'm active.

Okay, dear.

Hey!

Is this our job to wake him up every day?

Does he think we are his servant?

Wake up!

Old woman... where is she?

Where is she?

Which old woman?

Two people came into this room,

including an old woman who spoke very
affectionately as if she had authority over me.

Who was that old woman?

I am telling you again,

here only I ask questions,
and only you answer them.

Anyways you were born without any ties.

What will you do after discovering new ties?

If you don’t tell me who that woman is,
I won’t tell you anything more.

You are in no position to dictate terms here…

Why did you go to Krishnagiri?
What did you do there?

After leaving the orphanage...

I travelled to several places and did many jobs.

No matter where I go or what I do,
I couldn't stop reading other people's letters.

That's why I wanted to somehow
get a job as a postman.

A man named Subbu,
who was introduced through acquaintances,

promised to get me a job
as an assistant postman.

As part of that, I set out for
Krishnagiri for the first time.

Hey, it’s three o'clock, light the lamp.

Krishnagiri... this village felt like home to me.

It seemed it would offer me
all the bonds, relationships,

and the love that I have been searching for.

Uncle

Yes, what can I do for you?

I find this village quite strange.

It gets dark by three in the afternoon?

Oh, are you new to our village?
-Yes, I am.

The thing is, our village is surrounded by mountains.

The sun sets behind these mountains by midday,
and the shadow falls over our village.

Oh, I see... Your village is quite unique.

By the way, is there a small room
available for rent here?

A small room, huh?

Yes, my brother-in-law has a house.
Would you like me to ask him?

That would be great.

Oh Subbu, what’s up?
Any news?

What news?

Who’s well, who’s sick, who’s dead,
and who’s suffering—that’s the usual news for me.

By the way, what about this new
misery in our village?

What happened?

You know, girls have been
disappearing from the village.

Yes, even Venkanna’s daughter has gone missing.

Yes, what's wrong with them?

I suspect that Lala is behind this.

He is the worst person in this village,
a womanizer, a pervert and an arrogant man.

Shh! keep quiet.

Ramu!

Brother Subbu...

Brother Subbu...

Subbu hasn't arrived yet,
please sit down, he'll come...

He asked me to come at 9 AM.
Why hasn’t he arrived yet?

Let’s check my SSC certificate again.

M Abhinaya Vasudev.

Oh no! There are so many letters.

"You appeared like a gift to my eyes..."

"Met with sharp gazes like a sword..."

"As I meet you, turmoil began, a flurry followed..."

"Oh little girl, oh tiny one,"

"The moment I saw your eyes,"

"My little heart fluttered and skipped a beat..."

"Oh little girl, oh tiny one,"

"Swear on the innocence that
won’t reveal any secret,"

"My heart is yours, accept this treasure,"

"You are the bird that landed on
my doorstep, my lady, oh my lady!!"

Satyabhama!

Satyabhama!

"Satyabhama, Satyabhama,
is your grace so delicate!"

"Satyabhama, Satyabhama,
is your walk so serene!"

"Satyabhama, Satyabhama,
are your words so peaceful!!"

"Satyabhama, Satyabhama,
bless me with your love..."

Brother Subbu...

Brother! It’s me, Abhinay Vasudev!

Hey, little brother, you’re here?
I thought you were just kidding…

Why would I do that, brother?

Look...

I even brought my SSC certificate.

I brought a bicycle too,
thinking you’d give me a job,

and I even had postman clothes stitched.

You're shooting up like a rocket.

Brother, are you an orphan?

Yes Brother.

Don't you have parents?

They committed a mistake in winter,
and have abandoned in the monsoon floods, is it?

No problem.
From now on, you have this Subbu brother.

Subbu brother

Hey, what are you up to?
-You're like a brother gifted to me by God.

That’s why everyone calls you Late Rangarao.

You have delivered the marriage invitation
after the girl is married and pregnant.

Late Rangarao?

Shh!

Master...

You’re here, you fool.

Open that bag of letters;
they all need to be delivered today.

Yours is an easy job, Master...

I’m the one wandering in the sun.

I’m almost ready to get married,
but my strength is slipping away.

What’s slipping away?

My strength.

Oh, stop it.

Who is this fool?

My name is Vasudev, Master.

So?

If you agree, I’ll join as the postman for
this village and deliver all the letters swiftly.

Then the villagers will stop
calling you Late Rangarao

and start calling you Basarlapudi Rangarao.

Wah!

Basarlapudi Rangarao!

Oh, how long has it been since I heard my full name,

It’s not that easy.

You have to take a test and pass it.

Dear, come here for a moment.

Oh, let me work, woman.
You...

Subbu, if I really become Late Rangarao,
write these words on my grave:

“I warn all men, never to work from home
under any circumstance, not now, not in future.”

I’ll write that, Master.

I’m ready, I’m awaiting your death.

But first, look at this his situation.

Do as you wish.

I’m so happy, Master.

I’ll start my duty today.

Subbu brother, let’s go!

His name is Ramu, Master.

Ramu, greet the Master.

Ah, greetings, greetings.
Greetings, Mr.Ramu.

Move...

Ramu!

Fool!

Your job isn’t permanent yet.
just temporary.

Subbu...

tell this fool if the letters are delivered late,
I’ll smash this stamp on both of you.

Leave.

Go and distribute these letters to the people.

"A journey with no beginning or end,"

"A voyage with no fatigue or pause,"

"Footsteps that know no chains or barriers,"

"This is the tale of one that found
its place in this stop..."

"Did you see the 'me' that I was
a couple of days ago?"

"What is there to speak of strength or support?"

"Do you call me a loner?"

"I have the whole village with me..."

"The lush hills and valleys
are so beautifully adorned."

"I'm traveling in this darkness, oh how serene it is!"

"In the light of the lantern, it looks even better..."

The yield is good this time...

Somebody's remembering you.

Uncle, I don't have anyone who would think about me.

Why do you say so?

You are the harbinger of both good
and bad news to all the villagers.

We all are your family. Eat... Eat now...

Eat now, eat.

"This is the tale of one that
found its place in this stop..."

"Many letters written with love,
Eyes that gaze as they read..."

"Soon in my Queen's heart,
I shall take the King's throne and sit there with pride!"

"In the smiles of joy and
in the soft breezes, I drown!"

"How much happiness there is in each bond..."

"All around, there is only love,"

"Isn’t this my true address?

"Even the trees and bushes dance in joy..."

Dear sir, I shall pay the dowry you asked for anyhow.

Please grant me some time to arrange that money.

What if this was my Dad
writing and it was my sister's life...?

Hey ruthless father-in-law,

How dare you ask for dowry and pester your
daughter-in-law instead of treating her like your daughter!

If you continue this behaviour,
I'll have to be friends with your son.

Do you know how my friendship would be?

I'll put my hands on your son's shoulder
but he would have no hands to do the same.

Yours lovingly...

Whose name should I write?

Be careful if you get a letter for house number 69.

Why? Is there a ghost in that house?

Worse than a ghost.

That’s Lala’s house.

Anyone who crosses him disappears from the village.

Oh gracious goddess!

Please, help us uncover the whereabouts
of the missing girls in the village.

Oh gracious goddess!

Greetings!

Yes, sir... Girls have been disappearing.

Hello sir.

We still have no clue how they're disappearing.

Sir!

We’ll catch them for sure, sir...

Sir! Sir!

Please help us sir..

Namaste, sir.

Please help us sir..

What happened?

Please help us sir..

Who are you?

Please help us sir..
-Postman sir

Keep it there.

Sir, since yesterday our daughter has been missing.

First, stop crying and tell me in detail...

She went out early in the morning yesterday...
She hasn’t returned home yet.

What’s her name?

Her name is Jyothi, sir.

She’s in 10th grade.

Write a complaint.

Dear, Satya… please bring two
glasses of buttermilk, dear.

Is it Kalam-Sneham
(Pen - friendship) stories?

So, where to this time?

Calcutta.

Whenever I see you, I feel a tinge of envy.

You serve the people,
care for everyone in the village,

Give it to him, dear.

You too are doing a great service.

Without you how would I make such friendships?

Abid Sheikh sir, I noticed there's
no 'From' address on this.

Oh, I must have forgotten.
Here, let me write it.

Vasudeva...

It's alright.

Who's this boy?
He's quite sharp.

He just joined as a postman.

That's good.

Sathyabhama!

Father, Mother is calling me.
I need to go.

Now, it looks fine.

My son is working as a clerk...

My neighbour Subbu is a postman.

He's not married yet.
Neither will he ever get.

Am I right?

Just a minute...

Oh no...

Why did you hit her?

That's Chintamani! If she catches us,
we're done for. Run..

Hey Subbu...

You...

Where is he?

Please forgive me.

"A star she is, in a joyous celebration of light,"

"Casting her gaze, so sweet, in my sight."

"Her words, like jasmine, a smile as her gift,"

"With magic, she made my life gleam and lift."

Why are you staring like that?

This is the first time I'm seeing
such beauty up close.

I can't take my eyes off you.

How many have you said this to?

I felt like telling this to Savitri Garu
when I watched Devadas,

and you are the only other person after her....

Here, Grandma, I brought some food for you.

Granny.
Is she your granddaughter?

Yes, dear.

Where are your son and daughter-in-law?

They both are dead, soon.

I’m taking care of my granddaughter alone.

I am there for you.

Come on, Father. Let's go home.

Wait, Ram hasn't met Sita yet...

Come on, Father.

Vasudev...
-Master!

drop her off at home.

Sure, Master.

So, what caste are you?

I'm an orphan, you know...

Whatever I write becomes my caste.

I belong to the same caste as my lover.

You're quite the talker.

If that's the case, tell your heart to
talk to mine for a while.

My heart doesn’t talk to
people who speak so eloquently.

Why do you say that?

Watch your step, brother.

Come, give me your hand.

Have your eyes stopped functioning
just because you are with a girl?

Hey, hey, we'll deal with him tomorrow.

Hey...

why did you fight with them?

They spoke wrongly, so I hit them.

Do you know who they are?
They are Lala’s men.

So what?

Should we tolerate whatever they say?

You are impossible!

They might come back.

Drop Satyabhama home and you should leave too

Go!

I lost my peace of mind because of him.

Can I ask you something?

Ask away, Satya.

You're an orphan, right?

Then why did their words make you so angry?

Even if I'm an orphan,
I wasn't born without a mother, right?

My people must be somewhere.

I can’t tolerate anyone speaking ill of them...

Do you think your parents still live somewhere?

Alright!

Let's meet again.

Who the hell is he?

What the hell is going on here?

Open the door.

I want to meet Gurnatham Master.

I want to meet Sathyabhama.

Rangarao Master.

Ramu!

Abid sheikh.

Lala!

Do you know who they are?
They are Lala’s men.

Those who messed with him were
never seen again in the village...

Him!

Him!

Something happened between him and me.

I will remember it if it's rotated.

Rotate...

show what happened between him and me...

Rotate...

Is anyone there...?

Yes, I’m here.

Who are you?

Someone has imprisoned me in this dark room,
please save me.

You too?

You too...?

Yes, my name is Abhinay Vasudev.

I don’t know why they brought me here
or who imprisoned me.

Don’t worry.

Tell me, how is your room?

There’s not much light.

It looks like an old, abandoned room,

with a small table in the middle,

two chairs...

and a wheel on it.

Nothing new,

my room is the same.

Okay, do people come to your room
and ask you questions?

I don’t see anyone, but I hear their voices.

The wheel spins when they ask questions.

Now this is new, it must have
triggered your past memories, right?

Yes.

Who are you?

My name is Radha,

I’m a school teacher.

My parents died when I was 14.

I have two elder brothers.

I might have two brothers,
but my life is solitary.

I know nothing beyond school and home.

This loneliness has introduced me to fear.

What’s this, sister?

You leave your brother like this and go away?

You should feed him timely, shouldn’t you?

The effects of the drink are wearing off,

and I am extremely hungry.

Sister!

Eat this. Eat and drink, and then die.

You’re drinking while your younger
sister is working hard to earn.

You have no awareness of how
people see your sister.

Please listen...

You are my sweet little one, aren’t you?

Sister...

Sister...

You are my sweet little one, aren’t you?

This is all due to my misfortune.

I am experiencing this because of the
sins I committed in my past lives.

It would be better if I were one of the
girls who disappeared without a trace.

I constantly feel like someone is following me.

Here you go, I’ve written down everything.

Take this to the Tehsildar’s office
and your work will be done.

Abid Sheik, Sir.

Oh, Radha, how are you, dear?
What brings you here?

Nothing, sir.

I came to ask about my brother's job...

Ah, I remember, dear.

I see you’re still so concerned about them.

Why do you worry so much about people
who don’t care for you?

You’re always running after them.

Sir, I have no one but them.

If I can put them on the right path,
that’s enough for me.

It’s rare to find someone like you these days.

I will try to do something.

Ahh, sir.

Yes, tell me dear.

A girl from my school, named Jyoti,
has gone missing.

If you could use your contacts and
pressurize this case from top down,

there are chances that there
might be some information on her.

I’ll try my best in this case.

Thank you, sir.
I'll take my leave now.

Radha... Radha... Radha...

Radha! Radha! Radha!

Who is Radha?
Who is she?

There’s no one here...

I thought I remembered something.

You’ve ruined some lives,

read other people’s letters,

and failed in your professional duty.

That should have been enough.

Why did you go further,
changing and rewriting letters?

Veerraju, our cow has given birth is it?

Hey, your shouting is making all the cows
in this village uneasy. Speak quietly.

Brother, I need to send a money order for my mother.
Can you write this letter?

Why should I write a letter to your mother?
Don’t I have any other job? Go away.

He's the one who constantly yells at others.

Brother...
Let me write it for you.

What should I write?

Mother you had asked for money.

Here, I am sending money.
Please go to the hospital.

What? That’s not how you write a letter.

I will write for you.

To my dear mother,

I am doing well here

and hope you are fine there.

How is your health?

Please do not avoid going to the hospital.

and they are paying me well.

I am sending you some money.

Please go to hospital.

I will soon bring you here and
take good care of you.

Don’t worry about me.

Your Son...

What's your name?

My name is Rambabu.

Rambabu!

This is how you should write to your mother.

Thank you Brother.

My mother is suffering from cancer.

I will earn well and make sure
she gets the best medical care.

Your life is thriving with your mother’s love.

Don’t stray away from it.

Here...
-Okay.

Why is he bawling like
a buffalo lost in a field?

What’s the matter, Subbu?
Why are you crying?

It's a rundown house, empty and abandoned.

Every month, a letter arrives...

Nobody knows where the letter
comes from or who is writing to whom.

Another letter has arrived now.

I keep telling him, there’s no
use of delivering the letters there.

But the master has warned me
of not skipping the deliveries.

Why is all this happening
to me if it’s not my fate?

Subbu, don’t make things harder for yourself.

Give me that letter. I’ll deliver it.

You’ll deliver it?
Should I believe you?

I will definitely deliver it, Subbu.

You're the only handsome guy in our village.

Look, how tan your skin has become.
Go on, I’ll handle it.

East street.. 4th house

East street.. 4th house

Let's see who will come.

Why is it so dark?

Grandpa. You have a letter.
Is anyone at home?

I’m here. Can’t you see?

Yes, I see you.

But I wonder if you can
make out what’s in the letter.

Why wouldn’t I?
I can read your fate too.

Did you and Brahma study
on the same table or what?

What are you mumbling about?

Never mind.

Let's ask the old man about this address.

By the way, do you know
everything about this village?

I have been living here since the birth of this village.

I know every place like the back of my mind.

So then, Where is the east street in our village??

You’re the one delivering letters.
Don’t you know the directions?

No, I don’t. Please tell me.

Munusub's house...
Karanam's house...

The East Street is where your post office is.

Post office?

One!

Two!

Three!

Four!

The post office is the fourth house.

There is someone in your heart, dear.

He's a kind hearted guy.

If only he were near…

He will not be with you long, I fear.

Don't worry, dear.

If you want him to be yours, I have a way.

What is that?

In our village, there's a yogi on the north side.

He will be by the Yogi’s well.

At 5 AM, you need to take three dips
in that well and walk around the yogi.

Whisper your wish into his ear.

Your dream prince will become yours.

Wait, I’ll come right away.

Sathya is in love with me.

Yes! Sathya is in love with me.

I am not an orphan anymore;
Sathyabhama is there for me.

Sathya is in love with me.

A letter arrived every month.

The street with the post office is the East Street.

Don’t tell anyone about your visit to the Yogi.

Early in the morning....

She left early in the morning.

You shouldn’t tell anyone about this.

She still hasn’t come home.

Ramu...

I have a feeling that Sathyabhama is in danger.

Vasudev is in my heart. I need him.

Ramu, I told you Sathyabhama likes me.

What happened?

Sathya!

Sathya!

Sathya!

Sathya!

Sathya!

Vasudev!

Are you okay?
-I am okay.

Girls who go missing in the village
must have gone missing like this.

Let’s go to the police station
and file a complaint.

No, Vasudev.

An unmarried girl going to the police station
will cause many mouths to whisper rumours.

My father can’t handle it.

Let's drop this matter here.

There is some crime occurring in our village.

I won't ignore this issue;
I should do something.

Greetings SI sir,

There is a connection between the missing cases of girls
and the fortune teller roaming in our village.

You can crack the cases if you catch
hold of that Jogamma.

Yours faithfully...

Big Sir.

Constables!

What brings you here?

Just came to make a phone call to the house.

Please go ahead.

Hey, do you know what’s going on?

What’s up?

You know about the girls going
missing in the village, don’t you?

It’s because of the future-predicting
Lady who roams around.

The police have caught her.

Really? That’s good.

But what’s the use?

The Lady doesn’t know who’s behind this.

The police are clueless.

But, trust me. It’s all that Lala’s doing.

He’s orchestrating everything.

Is Lala still in the village?

Do these scoundrels stay at a place for long?

No. He’s not been seen in the village for a week.
He must have run away.

Vasudev, let this matter go.

I’m fine, aren’t I?

and now that the police
have caught her, they’ll handle it.

I have received your parcel,
you shall get your share of payment soon.

Next Thursday, send any of your
men to the old timber depot alone.

My men would come to that place
and they must be told this code -

Ammori Gudi
('Goddess' temple')

Even though Satya told me to drop this matter,
I wanted to find out what was happening in this village.

That's why I took the letter that came for Lala,
altered the time, and went to that place an hour early.

Which Temple?

The temple of the goddess.

So much money?

Let’s see if anyone reveals their true
self at least for this money.

I wanted to do good for the village.
What wrong did I do?

Acting on your own will doesn't make things good.

Do you know who was supposed
to take the money that day?

Brother, I really don’t know where the money went.

I went to the place you told me,
but no one showed up!

He must have sent the money to his mother.

Let’s kill him and take the money.

Brother!

Because of you, an innocent person has died.

Not only that...

but you also committed a murder.

No, no... No, no...

I don’t know if I did any of this.

You are making me tell all that you want to hear.

Alright, that’s enough for today.

We'll meet again.

I don’t even know what’s real and what’s a lie.

I don’t know if I did any of this or not.

I can't control what to hide or reveal.

Why would I commit a murder?

Vasudev, are you there?

Vasudev!

Vasudev, are you there?

Vasudev...

Vasudev, are you there?

Yes, I’m here.

What happened?
Why are you like this?

I don’t know.

I don’t know anything.

I don’t know who these people are,

who put us here, where we are.

I don't understand anything.

No matter how much I try to understand,
it’s impossible to decode

Is there a small window in your room too?

Yes, there is.

If we look through it, we might see
what’s on the other side and who’s there.

I can't seen anything Radha.

Try a little harder; it’s our only chance.

It looks like a house.

I saw Gurunatham Master.

Gurunatham Master?

Who is he?

Vasudev, what's wrong?

Vasudev!

Are you there?

I see you always write letters to your husband
but your husband never responds to any of your letters.

He doesn't have time to write me letters, Dad.

You are supporting your husband well!

Good, continue writing.

What's wrong with him today?
He seems unusually serious.

You...?

I won’t say anything.

Until you tell me where I am,

I won’t tell you anything.

I told you, right here...

this is a highly confidential interrogation cell.

Lies! Lies! Lies!

This isn’t an interrogation cell.
This is a house.

Oh, is that so?

I saw Gurunatham Master.

Is this his house?

So, you have found out?

You have done well to find out.

Now guess who I am!

Let’s unravel the mystery.

Why does he look similar to me?

Is there any relation between us?

Why did he abduct me and keep me here?

Gurunatham Master...

I saw you!

Open the door, Master.

Please, open the door!

Why are you doing this, Master?

Master! please open the door.

If we try to save a scorpion trapped in the fire,
it shows its nature by stinging us.

Similarly, helping a wicked person will only lead to harm.

Who the hell are you?

Why do you look like me?

Are you my brother?

What connection do we have?

I... won't tell you.

You have committed a murder.

Why did you do it?

I won't tell you anything until you tell me who you are.

Your brain is like a shrivelled tamarind.

I know you'll do anything to find out who I am,
what all of this is about,

and why Gurunatham Master is involved.

I know you'll do anything to find out all of this.

I have a good deal for you.

Cooperate with us for just two days,
and after that, I'll let you go.

If not, I'll never come back here,

and you'll be stuck in this place forever,
tortured without knowing anything.

What do you say?

How can I trust you?

You have no other choice.

Trust me.

Just two days.

You are smart, anyway.

Slowly... take your time.

Hello!
-Hello!

Son-in-law, I'm your father-in-law speaking.

Hello, uncle. How are you?
How's Janaki?

She's beside me.
Here, talk to him.

Hello.

Janaki, how are you?

I'm good.

Greetings Master.

Hello. Who are you?

My name is Venkateswarlu, sir.

My name is Parmesham, sir.
We studied at the AnaadaRakshaka orphanage.

Oh. What are you doing now?

I recently got married, sir.
I own a general store.

Good.

I work as a lineman in the electricity department, sir.

Very Happy.

When are you coming?

I'm feeling very anxious.

Don't worry, Janaki.

I'll be there in another two days.

Okay.

Dad, shall we leave?

Okay, let's go.

I'll take your leave, son.

Hey, didn't sir's daughter
die in her childhood because of that Vasudev?

Yeah. Then who is she?
His other daughter?

Should we ask?
Yeah, let's ask.

No! It would be awkward.
- Hey, let's ask, come.

Master...

You ask...

Sir, didn't your daughter die because of that Vasudev?
Is she your second daughter?

No, son.

After my daughter's death, I adopted her.

Suri has caused you an irreparable loss, sir.

Let bygones be bygones.
Karma will take care of every deed.

I'll leave, son.

Okay, sir.

Let's go.

God knows where this dust comes from
even when all the doors are locked.

All this dust comes to my house to test my patience it seems,
how frustrating! My back has given up with all the sweeping...

Granny...Granny...Granny...

Granny...Granny...Granny...

What happened?

Shall I tell you a good news?
-Tell me.

My husband is coming here in another two days...

Oh, really?

Finally, something to celebrate!

Save this enthusiasm for later...

you can celebrate with him when he's back.

What happened to you on March 7th, 1977?

So, what have you decided?

Just two days, that's all.

Good. You've made a wise decision.

Let's not waste any more time.

Why did you commit the murder?

Why would I commit a murder?

Hmm... let's find out if you did or not.

Sathya! You....
-Move... move.. move...

Why did you come this way?
What if someone sees you...

Chill!

What is it?

I brought Kheer for you.

I don't want it.

I put in a lot of effort to make this Kheer for you.

Don’t you want it?

I want it.

How is it?

What a fate!

Our house is also overflowing with letters.

It seems like your house is the same way.

a letter from a Raju to another Raju...

and a letter from a Reddy to another Reddy...

What’s this? No From address...

What? Why are you staring like that?

Is a meal the only thing you have to offer?
Anything else?

What else do you want?

Hey, why haven't you killed him yet?

That scoundrel deserves to be hacked to death.

Some people are trying to kill someone.

On 23rd, he would come to the court,
there we shall hack him to death.

I'll come to the court directly,
you too come alone.

I'll signal you at the right time, we both shall
attack him simultaneously and kill him.

I should inform this to the Police.

If I tell the Police, they'll ask me about
how I found this information.

What if I write an anonymous letter like always?

No, that won't work.

I need to find out who they are.

Post!

Post!

Is anyone there?

Hey! Who are you?

What are you doing here?

Why did you come here?
- Hey, take your hand off.

I'm the postman.

Get out of here!

Hey, will you kill me?
-No, I won't.

Subbu, I need an advice from you.

What is it?

This is court.

Which court?
Kabaddi court?

District court.

There's a goat in this court.

What is the goat doing in the court?

Listen to me first.

Two tigers are secretly trying to hunt this goat.

Oh my God, will they kill the goat?

They should not.

We must save the goat.

In that case, why don't you ask the
goat to not go to the court?

I don't know how that goat looks like.

Do you know how the tigers look like?

I know about one tiger,
but I don't know about the second tiger.

Then identify the second tiger with the
help of the first tiger and save the goat.

Even if I save the goat from these two tigers,
there are four foxes awaiting to pounce on the goat.

What is this stupid goat and tiger story?

Just stop. You’re not going to
give me any wise advice anyway.

Hey, wait. Tell me the full story of the
goat and tigers. Hey, wait!

This is the goat. These are two tigers

and these are the foxes.

What is it?

Hey, what is it? Answer me.

The wolf.

You only know one person.

You don’t even know who you’re trying to save!

You don’t know what he looks like.

How will you find him?

I’ll track his eyes.

Please get out of here!
Someone is coming to attack you!

Brother, tear him apart, that scoundrel!

Don't go.

I told you, I didn’t kill him.

I saved someone who was caught
between life and death.

You saved him. Fine.

Then why did you kill him later?

I saved him and killed him?
Why would I kill him?

Radha!

Why is Radha crying?

Oh!

you’ve learned her name too?

Since you two are already chatting,
why don’t you ask her yourself?

Radha...

Radha, what happened?

Radha, why are you crying?

Radha...

You have to tell me, Radha, so I can help.

Tell me what happened.

Even though we don’t know each other,
I feel sad seeing you cry.

I only have two more days here.

What? You’re leaving?

What about me?

Please take me with you too.

I’ll take you with me, Radha.

But tell me what happened...

Tell me why re you crying?

Oh saint...

is there no way to overcome this tragedy?

It's either due to the sin committed by this village
or a curse laid upon this land because of which,

girls from this village are going
missing one after another.

Please save us from this disaster.

When the Sun God was burning this land down
with his scorching heat after the Rudra eclipse,

Goddess Durga came down in a form of Goddess
Kondalamma and absorbed all the heat saving this land.

This land is blessed by her cool
and comforting shadow,

where we see darkness before the whole world
can see it, and thus it became Krishnagiri.

Here every house is blessed with
the presence of a girl-child.

Those girl-children are
a form of lucky charm to their families.

Many evil powers will try to own up
those girls to access that luck.

We must safeguard our girls
from those evil powers.

It's been two decades since there has
been a proper carnival for the Goddess.

This time arrange a grand one.

Goddess Kondalamma shall bless you all.

Meanwhile, I'll do whatever I can within my powers.

"Dance... dance... dance like the rhythm
has unleashed your wildest spirit!"

"Dance... dance... dance like a goddess
enchanted by the magic of your own rhythm."

"Dance... dance... dance like the whole
village is captivated by your every move."

"Dance... dance... dance like an evil spirit
vanquished by the grace of your every step."

"Dance... dance... dance like the rhythm
has unleashed your wildest spirit!"

"Dance... dance... dance like a goddess
enchanted by the magic of your own rhythm."

You look so hot!
Would you like to join me?

Ugh... you've started drinking again?

Don't call your brother 'ugh'...
it's not right, sister...

By the way, any word from our brother?

No, because he doesn't care about
you as much as I do, sister...

Sister! Sister!

Could you spare some change for a drink...?

Ugh, you'll never change...

Oh... this stubborn woman...

Guys, who are you?

Why...?

You drunk fool,
you’ve passed out again, haven't you?

Sister!

You?

Why are you here…?

Brother!

Brother!

Brother!

Brother!

Brother!

How dare you hit me...

Brother!

He must be chopped.

The one who hurt you, Radha,
he shouldn’t be spared.

He shouldn’t be spared...

I must kill that scoundrel...

He shouldn’t be spared...

Who are you?

Thanks for saving me.

I will always remember your help.

Leave about that.

Why do they want to kill you out of vengeance?

I experienced great pleasure.

Those scoundrels have a beautiful sister.

I took advantage of her.

How dare they come to kill me?

I will not spare them.

How much pain she must have experienced!

Who knows if she experienced
a lot or if she experienced happiness?

If I had a sister, I would take you out like this.

How dare you stab me?

How dare you stab this Lala?

This all happened because of that Lala.

My mother is suffering from cancer.

I will earn a lot of money and
provide good treatment for my mother.

I think Lala would have killed him.

This is the good I have done for my village.

I killed him, Radha.

I killed him.

I killed that scoundrel, Radha.

That’s what I’m saying...

You’ve committed murder.

Yes!

I did it, and I’m proud to say
I killed a man who tortured an innocent girl.

What’s wrong with that?

But what have you done?

Why have you brought her here and
are torturing her? What crime did she commit?

Because of you..

Because of me?

What connection do I have with her?

I’ve never even seen her before.

What does she have to do with me?
Why is she here?

Abid Sheikh.

Does that name sound familiar?

The first question I asked you was about
the letter addressed to Abid Sheikh.

Who told you to open it?

I am asking you...

I admit to killing Lala...

But I was afraid that if the police find out,
Satyabhama might drift away from me...

I burned the blood-soaked shirt.

I did all of this for the welfare of the village.

[Song humming]

Why does his face look so pale?

Hey, these letters should’ve been sent out a week ago.

Why haven't you done it yet?

Go, take care of it now!

Vasudev!

What's wrong, Vasudev?
You seem off... What happened?

Nothing... I’m just busy with some work.

We’ll talk later...

Hey, Lala was murdered.

Yes.

The teacher's brothers in our village killed him.

Both of her brothers are imprisoned
for the murder case.

And they left the teacher alone.

So sad! Who will support that girl all alone?

Come, come!

They’ve set up a health camp in the village...

They're giving medicine to prevent diseases...

Take this medicine both in the
morning and in the evening.

Come, come...

Hey boy...

come here.

You're delivering letters in the village, right?

Make sure to tell everyone you meet
to come here and take the medicines.

Make sure to tell everyone...

Okay.

By the way,

what’s the news about the guy who killed Laala?

Yes, they caught them.

If they are handed over to the court,
we don’t know what punishment they’ll receive.

I heard the killers had a sister, right?
What's her situation?

I don't know about that, son.

Hey, the S.I. wants to see you.

Why does he want to see me?

I don't know, but he asked you to come quickly.

I have work to do... I’ll come later.

Hey, don't say that...

When the inspector calls,
there's usually something important.

Just go once... Go...

Who is he?

Sir, you called for me?

Can you tell me where this letter came from?

I don't know, sir.

If it has a 'from' address,
I can tell you where it’s from.

Sir, these were found at Lala's house.

Sir, that's Abid Sheikh's pen.

How do you know it’s his pen?

He often comes to the post office
to send letters, sir...

I’ve seen it many times.

Abid Sheik is a respected person in the
village and a good human being.

What business could he have with that ruffian Laala?

Maybe there's a connection between them
and the missing girls from our village...

This case isn't going to be easy.

We don't know who to trust anymore—
who's good, who's pretending to be good.

The fact that Abhid Sheikh’s pen was
found at Laala’s house makes me suspicious.

There might be some connection between
them and these disappearances.

Do one thing....

If any letters come for him from distant places,

bring them to me first.

Don’t worry, your job won’t be affected.
I’ll make sure of that.

This will stay just between us.
Understood?

Good. You may go now.

Abid Sheik!

What should I do?
Should I give this letter to the SI sir or not?

First, let's see what is in this letter.

Because of my habit, I felt the urge to open
the letter and read its contents. So, I did.

But I couldn't understand
what was written in that letter.

I copied that letter and
delivered the original to Abid Sheik.

Which language is this...?

Master!

Master, what brings you here?

Ramu!

is this the room you stay in?
It’s like a corner of our animal shed

You’ve grown up now,

have you been chasing any females?

Your life is good,

but it doesn’t matter where you were born
or to whom you were born or how you grew up.

It’s not important to you.

But it’s important for us to know.

If someone is born human, they should
know their parents' details, right?

Just having a name isn’t enough;

it needs to have respect backed
by a respectable family.

Providing you with food is our kindness,

but you mustn’t take that for granted
and consider yourself to be equivalent to us.

You’re supposed to be smart.

I assume you understand your place.

Your job is temporary, isn't it?
So stay away from the post office permanently.

If you try to cross our boundaries,
Rangarao will truly become Late Rangarao.

Providing you with food is our kindness,

but you mustn’t take that for granted
and consider yourself to be equivalent to us.

If someone is born human, they should
know their parents' details, right?

Yes! They even have a family.

Why are you sad?

I know everything.

Some people care more about the invisible caste and
race while ignoring the visible people in front of them.

We can’t change them.
Don’t be sad.

Are you comforting me?

I was born an orphan.

You all should be worried about
the breaking of bonds, not me.

I am used to this.
I know how to deal with this loneliness.

Someday, you also left me alone...

All of this happened because of the habit
of secretly reading someone else's letters.

This is Abid Sheikh's letter, right?

How did I forget this...?
What's written in this?

Who can understand this language?

How did I forget this...?

Uncle...

What is it, son?

Do you understand this letter’s language?
Can you read it... look...

This is Arabic language.

Is it in Arabic?

What’s in it, uncle?

What does it say?

It says someone from our village is planning
to abduct a girl named Radha on the 25th.

the 25th…

Yes... today is the 25th...

Dear, please save that girl somehow.

I'm not going to let that happen.

Realizing that my negligence had
put a girl in a web of lies,

I need to tell the SI and somehow
save that girl through him.

Hey, what’s going on, young man?

Is the SI here?

The minister is visiting our area today.
Everyone has gone to arrange security.

What happened?

Uncle, you are aware of the girls that
are disappearing from our village.

It’s because of that Lala and Abid Sheikh.

What are you saying?

He is a reputed man in our village...
-I’m telling the truth, Uncle.

If you need evidence, here it is.

They are planning abduct another girl today...

We need to save her.

I’m going to Abid Sheikh’s place.
Please bring everyone from the village with you.

Vasudev!

Sathya!

What are you doing here at this time?

My family knows about us.
We should run away.

Run away?

No, Sathya.

I’m an orphan, and if I take you with me,
I’ll make you an orphan too.

Let’s stay here and fight.

We’ll fight until your family agrees.

I made a big mistake and I need to correct it.

You go back home.

Please leave me.

Where are you taking me? Let me go!

Why are you screaming?

You asked me to find a job for your brother,
I found one but not for your brother, for you.

It’s an easy job.

You just have to sleep whenever
someone asks you to.

Why are you making me angry by shouting?

See how your beauty is withering away.

Let me go… Please, let me go.

Shut up... She won’t listen.
Hey, get that injection.

Abid Sheik sir...

Please save me.

Who’s there?

I came to talk to you, sir.

Not now, come back tomorrow morning.

Please open the door.

Abid Sheik... please open the door.

Stop.

Let’s deal with him later.

First, give her the injection.

Where are you taking that girl?

What have you done to the missing
girls in the village? Tell me!

Speak out!

Speak!

You!

You’ve ruined everything.

Do you know how hard it is to work this job?

While we work in secrecy, you’ve destroyed it all.

First, you got the fortune-teller lady arrested,

you stole our money...

Aren't you, right?

I’ve told this old scoundrel
many times to be cautious,

but he blindly trusted that thug, Lala.

Damn! go.

Now, take her away and wait outside in the jeep.

I’ll be there soon.

You have been exposed!

What happened? How did you expose us?

I informed the police about you.

Oh no, you told the police?

You are talking about this police, aren’t you?

How do you think I know
everything happening in your village?

He told me.

He used to call me from the
post office where you work.

We received information
about the fortune-teller lady.

The police have arrested her.

The money you sent didn’t reach anyone.

Lala was killed, madam!

I am coming.

Arrange a medical camp in the village.

They are providing medicines to prevent diseases.

What do you think?
Do you think I came here for no reason?

The town gets covered in darkness by 3 pm.

Do you know how much our business thrives here?

This town was formed with...

Each house has a woman here,

Do you know how people from
Mumbai and Kolkata are willing...

to pay a high price for the
pleasure of these village girls?

You’ve ruined it all!

This fool has probably told many people.

We won’t be able to continue our games here.

Tonight, let’s take as many girls as possible and leave.

How can we take everyone in one night?

It’s already dark, and everyone will be in their homes.

Burn the whole village down...

Burn the whole village down...

It doesn’t matter.

While the village is in chaos,
we’ll pick up whatever we can find.

Finish your work and meet me
at the outskirts of the village

Drive!

Oh no! The house is going to catch fire!

Oh no! The house is catching fire!

Oh no! Dear, the house is catching fire!

Oh no! The house is burning down!

Leave me.

Leave me.

Please leave me.

Go fast...

the house is burning!

Sir, the house is burning!

Go.. please go.

Hey, leave me.

Where are they?

They are outside the village.

Mr. Rangarao...

Mr. Rangarao!

Who is it?

It’s me, Abid Sheikh.

Abid Sheikh, what happened?

The whole village is burning.
Hurry up! We need to leave.

Come quickly.

Father, what happened?

Who are you ? Sathya!
-What happened, Mr. Abid Sheikh?

I don't know...
Please come fast...

Father!

Satyabhama!

Vasudev!

It looks like he's not going to
spare us today; drive fast.

he's haunting us.

That's enough.

There's nothing more to find out about you.

As promised, you may now leave.

Oh! It hurts..

Gurnatham, your daughter is experiencing labor pains.

I am coming.

Send Radha with me.

I promised Radha I would take her with me.

Please send Radha with me.

I will send her, but first, you must leave.

No! You’ll do something to Radha.

Send her with me. I will take her.
Send her now!

That’s not possible.

Because of my negligence, this all happened.

Nothing will happen to you.

I won’t let anything happen to you.

Brother!

"Darkness has cloaked my sight,"

"Sent my hopes into the night."

"Why did it bring such profound sorrow?"

"Turning my support to ash and flame."

"Sorrow filled my heart,
stealing the breath from my soul."

"Breath departed with a mournful plea,
Grief seized the heart, refused to set it free."

Your job is temporary, isn't it?
So stay away from the post office permanently.

"Fate, etched on your brow,
had destined your life to fade away."

"Though he was a stranger here,
His passing brought the village to tears."

"Hope has vanished without a trace,

"The west has slain the sun’s embrace."

"Will the east bring forth a new dawn’s face?"

You have provided relief to so many mothers,

I wonder which mother shall bear
you in your next life, son.

Again and again one is born,
And again and again one dies,

lying in the mother's womb over and over again,

Help me to cross,
This limitless sea of Life,

Which is uncrossable, my Lord.

Doctor!

Doctor, the boy shows no signs of movement.

Doctor!

Janaki's labor pains have started again.

Oh living being, is there so much confusion about life?

This struggle is part of everyone’s life.

After being in the mother’s womb for so long,
you’ve shared all your deeds with me.

This life is the result of those deeds.

When you didn’t even know the person,
you committed murder.

You disregarded your life in an attempt to save her.

Such is the nature of life that
you are born as you die.

She was born as your twin.

Oh, how much trouble you caused me,
staying in my womb!

Grandma!

Look, how the babies are kicking me.

Here...

Here...
-Yes, true.

Who are you?
A girl or boy?

What are you doing inside?

Why am I feeling these itches?

Send Radha with me.

Look, your grandfather is here.

Did you hear the stories he used to
tell you when you were inside the womb?

What happens when you try to help
a scorpion that has fallen in the burning oil?

It'll show you its true nature.

See, how strong the Karma is!

Since you were the reason for his daughter's death,
to compensate for that, you have taken birth to his daughter.

Hey, look who's here! It's granny...

She cooked all your favourite meals
while you were inside me,

she took good care of us, say 'hi' to granny.

I will take care of you as I take care of your mother.

Doctor, what happened?

She seems tired, maybe
she's not taking food on time.

Food is the most essential thing to have a healthy delivery.
How can people neglect that? I hate this...

Are you fine?

How are you Janaki?

I am good, how are you?

I am fine.

Hey, do you want to grab the gold chain?

No matter what good you do or what bad you do,

you may be privileged or not,
whatever you are, however you are,

you are bound to answer me at the end.

Karma shall be tallied for each and every one.

If you were Nandi, you would have seen me as Nandi.

If you were someone else,
you would have seen me as that someone.

I am 'KA', aka your inner conscience.

Hey, hey... Why are you crying, dear?

Dear, look... The kids were just smiling in
their sleep and instantly they started crying.

Oh!

In my childhood, my grandmother used
to tell me that infants remember their past lives.

When they remember the happy moments, they smile
and when they recollect the melancholic memories, they cry.

Hey, look here...

Really?

Oh no, it's here again...

What happened?

Look granny,

I have shooed it away several times
but it still keeps returning here.

Let it be, God knows what relationship
it has with our little ones. Let it stay here.

Look here...
What should we name him (the dog)? Tell me...

Henceforth, your punishment starts.

What is the punishment, you ask?

To be born in this world, to experience life,
to carry the burden of desires which eventually mean nothing,

what graver punishment can one have?

Those around you have become a part of your
life as a result of your previous life's Karma.

Remember this dear living-being,
you have to answer me for every deed in your life.
