In the annals of history, countless queries persist without resolution.

All those questions are left behind by the world.

The answers to all those are destined to reveal themselves in due course as time unfolds.

NEELAKANTHA

I don't know if I can ask you this or not, sir.

First ask.

You must've got lots of work to do in the city. You left behind all those works, and you arrived in this village.

But why?

You'll see.

I have to say this.

A profound sense of calm pervades this village.

It's nothing like that, sir. It's the same as in other villages.

No. There's a special essence to this village that makes it stand out.

Someone caused these sheep to come to a halt in the middle of the path.

Prasad, stop the car.

Hey, boy!

By leaving these sheep in the midst of the path, are you seeing pictures in the newspaper?

I'm asking you.

What do you mean? Even I know how to read.

See what happened.

What happened?

That's why I'm reading to learn about it.

Boy!

Enough of reading. You don't need to develop the world by studying. Focus on getting the sheep off the path.

Boy! Focus on sheep. Go!

You got in the middle of the path, not my sheep.

Neela! Neela!

In this year's districtlevel competitions, all the teams are performing well.

What is this? Sir!

Why is the village so noisy?

One side witnesses Sarpanch elections, while on the flip side, a districtlevel Kabaddi competition is in progress.

Won't it be noisy?

Prasad! Don't stop here.

Go to the school.

Hello!

Sir, the collector is here to meet you.

Really? I'm coming.

Take some tea, sir.

Did you cast your vote?

I cast my vote in the morning itself. He is on his way, sir.

He's coming. Okay. Go!

Okay, sir.

Has the Kabaddi competition started yet?

Tell me how Neela is playing.

Darn it! The call has been cut off.

I can't see the game. Why did collector come today of all days?

Greetings, sir Greetings!

Sorry, I'm late.

It's okay.

Why did you sit here? Sit over there.

No formalities. It will be better only if you sit on that chair.

Take your seat.

Tell me.

I've got to say sorry to you.

Why, sir?

My early arrival by two hours was accompanied by uncontainable excitement upon hearing it related to our school.

The news of our school claiming the first position in our mandal brought me much joy.

Thank you, sir. Thank you.

It's okay. Take your call.

It's okay, sir. It's okay.

No formalities. Take your call.

Excuse me!

Hello! Hello!

Dear. Tell me.

Whom did you cast your vote for?

I cast my vote for Neela.

For Neela, right?

Neela...

Tell me.

I cast my vote for Neela. I'll call you back later.

Hang up the call.

Sorry, sir.

It's okay.

Just a second. Please...

Yes, SI. Yes, sir.

Tell me.

The voting venue is quite loud. That's the reason why I can't meet you.

It's okay.

No problem.

The inclusion of Neela, a newcomer, in the elections is the reason behind all of this.

That's the reason why, I...

Focus on elections first. Okay, sir.

I'll come. Okay, sir.

Thank you.

Who is Neela?

Everyone is talking about him.

Neela's name is echoing from every mouth in the village.

What's so special about him?

Is he the son of this village's Zamindar?

No, Sir.

He is the son of a tailor.

Before I tell you about him, I've got to tell you about this village first.

The community places great importance on upholding norms and traditions.

Sometimes they'll be tough too.

Mr. Raghavayya is the head of the village.

He takes care of the people in this village.

At the same time, he resolves any arising problems.

He gives the judgement as well.

The police won't be here anytime until and unless there are elections.

If Mr. Raghavayya gives a judgement and announces it, then everyone should oblige, no matter who they are.

In the judgment rendered by Mr. Raghavayya 15 years ago, Neela was one of them.

The judgement that changed his fate also started here, in this school.

What happened?

It's a big story.

It's okay. I have an excess of time on my hands.

Tell me.

At the time when 10th grade exams were going to end in two days...

The liquor store would have been better placed at the centre of the village instead of tucked in the corner.

It's okay. Let's go.

I will own a liquor store once I become an adult.

Then buy all the liquor from my store. Let's go now.

Signs point to an upcoming rainfall.

See! The power will also be gone in a few minutes.

It's my fate to come with you.

Neela, it's our math teacher. We'll be dead if we stop him.

Why are they going to the school when there's an exam tomorrow?

Dude, it's school this way.

We can go early if we go from here.

Neela, where are we going in this way?

Have you seen a wall over there?

Climb, jump, and a left turn will link us to the liquor store, which is located over there.

That's it!

We'll be dead if someone sees us here at this hour.

So what? This is a shortcut.

Okay. Let's go fast. I'm coming.

Something jabbed me.

How many times have I instructed you to put on slippers before going outside?

Let's sit over there.

You won't listen to me.

Sit here.

Show me.

Dude, I can't endure the pain.

What should I do now?

Check with the watchman to see if there's a firstaid box.

How at this hour?

Please! Please! It's very painful.

Okay. Wait! I'll check.

Make it fast.

Uncle! Uncle!

He drunk?

Why is the lock open?

I didn't make any mistakes, father.

I don't know anything.

Calm down. I'll talk to them.

Sir!

What was he doing at that time except stealing the exam paper?

Principal!

Did you say about him?

Your statement indicated his commitment to academic success, contributing to the renown of our village.

I can see that right now.

Allow your big heart to forgive this child with understanding.

A child?

He has stolen this school's children's future, not money.

Is this the underlying reason for your repeated statement about your son's firstplace standing in the class?

Beyond attaining the first place, what else could transpire if he chooses to cheat?

Calm down, madam. I'm talking, right?

Forgive him this time.

I'll take responsibility for ensuring he refrains from making this mistake again.

Should there be any issues with him among all of you, I'll take him away from this village.

Does his absence from the village function as a way to gloss over the mistake he committed?

Tell me, NagaBhushanam.

Have you entered the school?

Yes, sir.

Have you entered the office room?

Tell me. Have you entered or not?

Yes, sir.

But, I...

Don't... Don't tell me anything.

There might not be any value to the life of a human in this village, but there is value to education.

You all know about it.

While the mistake he made might appear minor to you,

a similar mistake in my household resulted in the loss of numerous lives in our village.

It's advisable for the wellbeing of our village to cut down this plant before it develops into a tree.

He should consider remaining within the village boundaries until he reaches 30 years of age.

He shouldn't enter any school by taking books.

He shouldn't say anything about education.

Sir...

Sir, don't say that. Forgive him.

I'll make him go far away from you.

The person enduring punishment within the village after committing a mistake will act as a deterrent,

making people think twice before making similar mistakes.

Those who listened and those who didn't.

Mr. Raghavayya's judgement declares that tailor Nagabhusahanam's son in Ramalayam Street 3,

Neelakanta, involved in educational theft, has been punished.

His directive is to remain in Saraswatipuram until the age of 30

and refrain from enrolling in any educational institution.

The community in Saraswatipuram is requested to ensure the enforcement of this punishment against him.

Hey! Why are you here?

Starting today, Neela should come every day.

I'll give you milk only if he comes, otherwise, I won't.

Why? Why don't you?

He should come. That's it!

I'll give you milk only if he comes. Otherwise, I'll complain to Mr. Raghavayya.

I've got to see him every day. That was the judgement.

That's my work.

You've got to come every day, Neela.

Not only me, but everyone in this village is on guard to prevent your exit from this village.

Don't forget that.

“Time has done something to the tender heart’s story”

“Bad fate is written over the flying heart”

“Something has happened in this running journey”

“No mercy at all, hopes have exiled him”

“Some evil has knocked his door without his knowledge”

“Some unwanted scream is haunting me”

“The mistake is of the village”

“Curse came over unknowingly”

“Crime took place, it is a mistake”

“No justice even when said cleverly”

If education isn't your strong suit, it's more fitting to stay home. Why steal?

It would've been better if he could've died along with his mother.

“What to say with studies burning down in front of the eyes?”

“How to stop the pain rolling down from the eyes?”

“How do I look at the string where shirt is being dried?”

“How do I pedal the bicycle travelling along with me?”

“Did some evil eye cast on me constantly?”

“Did some ghost possess my body?”

“It is a mistake of the dreams”

“It crossed the borders unknowingly”

“Evil deed in the dark is a mistake”

“Shining star is swallowed by eclipse”

Father, why is no one believing me that I didn't make any mistakes?

Even you're not believing me, right?

Sometimes karma makes us punish ourselves for the mistakes we didn't commit.

We can't do anything other than accept it.

If you want to leave this village, then I can't come with you.

Because all of your mother's memories are here.

What's wrong, dear? Why are you crying?

The teacher has told me that I didn't come to school yesterday.

At least she didn't even ask me why I didn't come.

She didn't even listen to me.

She'll get to know only if she lets's meet speak, right?

Brother, Sister Seetha is leaving this village.

“Who sinned towards the pain being unable to swallow?”

“Someone made unhealable wound to the heart”

“Water was sprinkled over this fire like truth”

“Tender crop was ruined by cutting down”

“Why is the pain at heart not rolling out as tears?”

“Why is the path in Sun and full of thorns?”

“Lord Shiva believing in the village giving you pain”

“When is your turn on this thorny way?”

“Ask the God who wrote your fate”

“Show your courage at those stopping you”

Neela!

My father stopped me from going to the panchayat and telling the truth.

My father worried I'd face punishment if they found out I was with you that night.

Now I don't care about whatever my father thinks

Let's go to Mr. Raghavayya and tell them what happened that day.

I am a living example of how the timing of the truth coming to light can substantially reshape one's life.

We didn't commit any mistakes, right?

Let's go and tell the truth.

Please, Neela.

Let's go.

The exams won't be repeated, even if you know the answers and don't write effectively.

Sometimes, no matter how loud you speak the truth, it sounds like a lie.

That day, you were in the dark, I was in the light.

It was on that day that I understood that too much of that light is not suitable for a healthy life.

Neela!

Have you come to observe your son's life, which has come to a stop?

I'm here to let my son know that he shouldn't fear, especially during times of sadness.

Neela, every person has a past shrouded in darkness.

The resolution of that depends on the path you're about to tread.

No matter whether it's good or bad, we should change our lives ourselves.

Remember one thing.

Facing defeat in life is not a mistake,

but the mistake occurs when you decide to remain stagnant where you lost.

Neela, we ran out of players on our team.

Will you play Kabaddi?

Kabaddi... Kabaddi... Kabaddi...

Catch him! Catch him! Catch him!

Catch him! Catch him! Catch him! Hold him tight.

Don't leave.

Catch him.

Hold him tight!

[After 14 years]

Neela got 2 points.

Come!

Kabaddi... Kabaddi... Kabaddi...

The competitive spirit between two villages has risen to meet the standard.

Kabaddi... Kabaddi... Kabaddi...

Kabaddi... Kabaddi... Kabaddi...

The game is best observed from the front, not the back.

We'll wait to see who emerges victorious in the Kabaddi competition at the village level and claims the cup.

Kabaddi...

You rascal...

Catch him.

Finally, the Velamakandriga team managed to out Neela.

Now, I'll see.

Kabaddi... Kabaddi... Kabaddi...

Hey! That's it!

Well play!

Kabaddi... Kabaddi... Kabaddi...

Ever since Neela lost, the team of Saraswatipuram has been losing points.

Kabaddi... Kabaddi... Kabaddi...

Wow!

Velamakandriga team is leading

Finally, the last player from the Saraswatipuram team entered the field.

Kabaddi... Kabaddi...

Finally, Saraswatipuram earned 2 points.

Saraswatipuram got 16 points.

Velamakandriga team got 18 points.

If the team from Saraswatipuram wants to win, then they need three points.

Kabaddi... Kabaddi...

Neela earned 4 points and made Saraswatipuram win.

We'll win anyway if you're with us.

But when we cross our village, our team will lose.

Father!

Freshen up! Let's eat.

Why are you staring at me in that way, father?

Aren't you getting angry at me?

Why should I be angry at you?

It's all happening because of me, right?

Father...

contemplating the past and crying about it won't progress us in life.

I know.

You're just covering it up.

I know how hurt you are.

It's nothing like that, father.

You also eat and sleep.

Keep your composure upon discovering my death, just as you are now.

Take care of your father.

He is a very innocent person.

Don't abandon him, no matter the extent of your struggles.

Sure, mother.

Study well!

Only then will the people of this village respect you.

Mother!

Mother!

Mother!

Mother!

[Song playing on Radio]

Hey! How long will it take?

Wait!

The wire is short. So I'm cutting it.

Is it short?

Careful!

You might cut yours, thinking it's short.

What did you say?

Your fingers are short, right? So I'm saying, be careful.

Wait, brother.

What was that? Will the picture appear or not?

It will.

It won't.

It will.

It won't.

It will.

It won't.

Will the picture appear or not? What's with that?

Kindly don't lift your head.

What will happen?

If you see, then you'll be done. You'll faint.

No!

Oh! Did you see it, brother?

Hey...

Brother, don't... please...

What is this, brother?

You threw me off just because the picture didn't appear.

Not you, I saw the picture.

Hey! Don't you have a habit of wearing underwear?

Oh No!

I'm leaving

Serve me the curry.

Why?

It's hot. So eat some curd.

Buttermilk.

My sister made it specially for you.

How is it?

It's amazing, right?

What's with her preparing buttermilk?

How dare you ask me how the lunch tastes when I ask you for breakfast in the morning?

Disgusting fellow!

My sister knows how to prepare buttermilk alone. Whatever!

Hello!

What?

Cut the call.

Brotherinlaw.

Congratulations!

Within 2 days, the rice mill will be under my... your name.

You're amazing.

You owned this rice mill for 2 lakh rupees.

If you fill all those...

Sir!

Sir!

Sir, your people are cultivating crops on my farmland.

When I questioned them, they said that they bought the farm.

That farm is mine.

How can we sell our farm without being aware?

I don't need money.

Don't be shy. Take it!

This is so unfair.

I'm the sarpanch of this village.

I'll buy and sell anything without your knowledge.

Sir, our farm is like a mother to us.

We won't sell our farm, even if we struggle.

Tell them to go away from my farm.

Otherwise, I'll tell Mr. Raghavayya.

Hey!

Mastan!

Mastan! Leave me.

Mastan, take it slow.

How dare you go against Sarpanch?

I won't leave here before killing you.

Mastan!

He won't mess with us again.

Let him live.

I've heard that someone said something to your friend.

Hey!

What will they say?

Thief is a thief.

The mark on his life will go away one day or another,

but first think about the mark on his face.

Scoundrel!

Let go of him.

Let go!

Let go!

Neela! Mr. Raghavayya is here.

You should help us, sir.

Veerayya, what's with you?

You say that the water in your well belongs to you, right?

Right? Yes, sir.

I sold my wife's gold and dug up the well.

I won't give the water in my well to anyone.

You also talk.

I've already said it.

No one except Veerayya's farm got water.

We thought of collecting the money, digging a well, and doing the farming.

He's not listening.

What is this, Veerayya?

Is it true?

Yes, sir.

Do you want everyone to be hungry because of the sale of your wife's gold?

That's how you should ask, sir.

It's true that the water is on your farm.

Using that water only for yourself is, indeed, a mistake.

It's as though the air in your room alone is enough for sustenance.

It's not like that, sir.

This earth, water, air, etc.—all these five primordial elements were created by God to share with each other.

Starting tomorrow, let the water on your farm run through other farms as well.

A genuine farmer is one who wishes happiness for all, not someone who imposes suffering on others.

I'll pay you twice the money that you've spent.

The people of Saraswatipuram should thrive and prosper in their lives.

Thank you, sir.

Hello!

Brother, lift!

Brother!

I'm at the water tank.

You're coming, right?

I'm on my way.

Come fast.

I'll be here.

Okay.

Why are no autorickshaws seen coming in this direction?

There's an exam tomorrow.

I've got to go home early.

Brother, have the clothes I gave you been sewn up?

Done. Take it.

Okay, brother.

Okay.

Do you think Mr. Raghavayya's judgement was the correct one?

Over the last 16 years, Mr. Raghavayya's judgements have been a cornerstone for the prosperity of our village.

You know what he did to his own brother when he made the mistake, right?

[16 years ago] Giridhar!

[16 years ago] Is your education in medicine complete?

Is your education in medicine complete?

Done, brother.

I'll build a hospital in our village for you.

You should settle here, okay?

Okay, brother.

Hello!

What are you saying?

Move aside!

Check out what happened to my son.

Nurse, take this. Sir, what could've happened to all these kids?

All these kids had the same problem.

It may be because of the water they've been drinking.

Do one thing.

Collect all of their blood samples and send them to the lab.

Do it immediately.

Dear, take a deep breath.

[weepings]

Sir!

There's a horrible incident that happened.

You should save our kids lives.

We're having difficulty grasping the current situation.

Calm down.

Don't worry. I'll get in and find out.

Every test has been carried out.

But the exact problem has not been identified yet.

We sent all the reports to the lab.

I doubt that it's pneumonia.

I've been talking about it with our chief doctors too.

He is my brother.

He came from the city. He studied MBBS.

He will be helpful to you.

Hi, sir. Hi!

Focus on problemsolving strategies first, and introduce yourselves later.

Okay. Take care! Sure, brother.

Don't worry. The doctors will take care of everyone.

Okay?

What's the exact problem?

The problem has not been rectified yet.

We sent their blood samples to the lab. Okay.

We can't say anything until we get the reports.

Doctor, you got a call.

Yes, I'm coming.

Sir, I'll be back after taking the call. In the meantime, check the patient's condition.

Okay, sir? Sure! Thank you.

Give me that patient's file, sister.

Hello!

Sister, take that vial.

Sir, it's midazolam.

Yes, that vial.

Listen to what I say and do what I do.

Understand?

Do as I say.

Give the same injection to that patient as well.

[weeping]

Do you know what you did?

Did you attend medical school or not?

I'm asking you.

Brother, what's with you?

I have not studied medicine.

These days, purchasing education is prioritised over actual learning.

That's why I bought it.

What?

People like you don't have the right to live.

Please, brother.

Don't beat me.

Brother!

Brother!

Sir!

Your brother is the one who killed our kids.

We will...

Forgive me.

I've just found out that my brother didn't truly study medicine, instead, he bought his degree.

That's why I killed my brother with my own hands.

I request that everyone who lost their kids lives take my assets and my farms as compensation.

I make a firm promise that no one will suffer under my watch as long as I live.

Neela! I'm talking to you...

Buy a pot. I will, grandpa.

Neela! I heard that Seetha is coming.

I was informed by Malli just a little while back.

Seetha?

Grandpa, move.

Move...Why is he in a hurry?

Neela! Neela! She's not coming today, it's tomorrow.

The ice cream is very delicious.

Can you get one more for me?

Okay, Seetha.

[14 years ago]

Take notes, everyone.

Extension in a spring until the elastic limit is reached...

Madam!

The headmaster shifted me to this class, madam.

Neela!

It's the girl from another section.

Come, dear.

Take your seat.

Hi!

What's your name? Hi!

What's your name?

Seetha!

Could someone give me the formula for this?

Do you know?

Ma'am! I know...

f is equal to kx. k is the constant factor.

You said it right, Neela.

Sit!

Why does he always answer when any lecturer asks a question?

That's why he outperforms the class.

Take notes carefully, everyone.

I'll ask you again tomorrow.

Okay. Have lunch, everyone.

Hey! Let's go.

Go!

Today's class was wellexplained by the teacher, wouldn't you say?

It feels that way if you attend the class once a month. Let's go.

Neela!

Neela!

Neela, I'm talking to you.

My name is Seetha.

I have a few doubts about math.

Please! Will you help me?

Neela! I'm talking to you.

Neela!

What do you say?

Okay.

I will help you, Seetha.

Hey! Look at them.

She came into this class today, didn't she?

It seems that the newcomer Seetha needs some help.

My friend is really good at that.

Suri! What do you say?

Raja!

How dare you beat me?

I'll complain to the headmaster about you both right away.

Let's go. Let's make the complaint.

I'll also tell the headmaster what you said to me.

Hey! Don't...

Let's go.

If we go to the principal, he'll scold us.

Raja!

Let's deal with them later. Let's go.

Neela, thanks for beating them for me.

“A lightening and a trance touched me now”

“My heart is flying now”

“It touched again like the heart beat”

“And like the net for the fish”

“This love is a disturbance in dream like the tide hitting the shore”

“This love is the music sounded in my heart”

“A lightening and a trance touched me now”

“My heart is flying now”

Neela, what's with you? You're looking strange.

You've revamped your hairstyle. You've dabbed on some face powder.

What's with you?

Why? Am I not looking good?

Cool! That's cool!

She is the daughter of our village Sarpanch, not your uncle's daughter.

She's the daughter of our village Sarpanch.

Let's deal with it.

Good morning, sir. Good morning, sir.

Good morning, sit down.

How many of you completed the homework I assigned yesterday?

Open your notebooks.

I'll come and check. Have you completed?

No.

Open the book.

You?

What about you?

Hey!

Sir, he took my notebook.

Show me. Show me your hand.

What about you?

Why do you always stare at me like that?

I don't know.

What do you mean?

I mean, I don't know.

But it's very good.

It is!

It will be good.

“First look is like the first drizzle”

“Your talks sound a music in my heart”

“New tunes shall be played in my heart because of you”

“This love is the wonder never experienced by me”

“World of my beloved crossing the friendship is this love”

“A lightening and a trance touched me now”

“My heart is flying now”

“Call of the age is a melody”

“Heart moved and crossed the boundaries”

What's with Neela? It seems like he gave you a book yesterday.

He gave it to you even after knowing about your father.

Let's deal with him.

“Is the silence disturbed with shy feeling?”

“Did heart go heavy and asked for help?”

"This love is the heat never experienced before”

“This love is the curse not to forget beloved’s face”

“A lightening and a trance touched me now”

“My heart is flying now”

[10th grade exams]

I'm warning you all. Let me know if anyone plans to cheat.

You'll be debarred if you get caught.

You can't study grade 10 again.

Understand?

Ma'am, additional!

Siri!

Show...

Hey!

Write the exam.

Ma'am, one more additional!

Here you go!

Tomorrow is our last exam.

Yes.

Where will you go for higher studies after exams?

I don't know where I will go. But I won't stop studying.

My father has already discussed with a college he's acquainted with in the town.

Does that mean you'll move to a town?

Yes.

Shall I join you as well?

Really?

Yes.

Where are they?

It seems that they're here.

There you go.

'The parrot and the myna are expressing love for each other.'

'This smiling youth and the current day.'

Hey! One more! Please!

'Seetha is beautiful.'

'And our Neela is a kind guy.'

'If they happen to meet, something will unfold.'

Why are you always with him?

You like this lowercaste guy a lot?

What's with you?

I've been observing you since you entered the classroom.

Their body language hints at tension between them.

Stop, Neela.

Neela!

Run! Run!

Neela!

Catch him!

I won't let go of him today.

Neela!

It's our headmaster.

Why did you start the fight?

Sir, they made a mistake.

They made derogatory remarks about Seetha.

I don't know anything, sir.

We noticed they were both on the school terrace, prompting us to check on them.

Sir, we were talking about exams.

But they made derogatory comments about Seetha.

Sir, we didn't do anything.

Neela is at fault.

Seetha!

You tell us.

What happened?

Have they made derogatory comments about you?

Yes, sir.

Raja is the reason for this fight.

Neela is not at fault in this issue.

I knew that you'd be involved in these issues.

Why are you involved in fights when the exams are near?

What are you doing on the terrace of the school instead of going home and studying?

Hey! Come here.

I can see in your eyes that you made a mistake.

Go and apologise to Seetha first.

Hey! It's you.

Sorry!

If you commit this mistake again,

then I'll make you strip off your clothes and stand in the village panchayat.

Leave!

Leave!

Enough of seeing. Go!

Neela! Just a minute.

Mr. Raghavayya. Tell me.

I told you about tailor Naghabhushanam's son, right?

He's the one.

Neela.

He's a very kind person.

He studies well.

He consistently remains at the pinnacle of this school's rankings.

You should study more.

Even after leaving our school, strive to uphold the reputation of our village.

People from Saraswatipuram should get off here.

Come!

Dude, I'll come too.

Mani, come fast!

Let's catch up later.

Okay, bye.

Why did you stop here?

She is leaving.

How is it that she can remember me after 14 years...

when she can't even recall the school she studied at 10 years ago?

She forgot you, and she changed as well.

Nagabhushanam, don't worry.

Ingest the tablets I provided, and you'll get back to your regular state.

Okay.

Take them.

Okay, doctor.

Neela, I'll be back.

What happened, father?

Nothing, dear.

I'm ageing.

My BP increased a little bit.

I fainted.

That's it.

Father!

You should take care of yourself, right?

You could've asked me or Seenu to join you whenever you were out, right?

What's with you, father?

What did the doctor say?

The doctor said that he'd become normal within 2 days.

Don't worry.

Dude, I'm getting a call from my house.

I have some timesensitive matters to handle.

I'll take my leave, uncle.

Hey! Hey!

Dear, is my radio all set now?

Whom did you give it to?

I gave it to the shorter person in this shop.

Swami! Yes, brother.

It seems that uncle gave you a radio to get repaired. Is it done?

Yes. It's done. I'm coming.

Is it all set now?

It seems that I've seen you somewhere.

You're the father of Neela, right?

Yes.

Do you know Neela? I know, uncle. Take a seat.

So you're the father of Neela?

He's a good friend of ours. Take a seat.

Take a seat.

Swami! Get some tea for uncle.

He's the father of Neela.

Why bother with all these formalities now?

Let me know how much it costs. So that I can pay and leave.

And I have some work on the farm as well.

It's nothing, uncle.

Take it, uncle.

Swami, give it to me. I'll give it to uncle.

Drink it, uncle.

Drink it, uncle.

You're bound for ruin.

What is this, dear?

Drink it, uncle. Drink it.. Nothing will happen.

You're the father of a thief.

Do you think you'll attain more respect than this? Drink it!

When your son spoiled the honour of our village that day, everyone spat on him, right?

That's what I did. What's wrong with that?

The owner is serving us a knockoff bottle of booze.

I'm not getting a buzz.

I'll teach him a lesson someday.

Swami! Yes.

Will you drink some booze? Yes, brother.

If you're sustained by the welloff,

then these are the things that come your way, right?

Go ahead!

You'll become rich by just giving me a peg of booze?

Dude!

No matter how much you insult his father, he's still alive.

How dare you insult my father?

I already said to let him go, right?

I did, right?

Neela and Suri are fighting again.

Why are you clinging to a past incident from 15 years ago and bearing a grudge against me?

This facial scar serves as a constant reminder of the harm you caused me,

and it will never fade away.

And it's the same for the grudge against you.

Hey!

Don't...

Hey! Don't...

You fool! When will you change?

Yes. I'm a fool.

I won't change.

I won't leave you until I die.

Should you mess with my father again,

it won't be a sheep's head offered at the festival it'll be yours on the chopping block.

She forgot about you.

You're the father of a thief.

She changed as well.

Do you think you'll attain more respect than this?

Hello, Neela! Tell me.

Are you aware of what you are talking about?

What I'm telling is the truth.

I saw him here.

I was sceptical, so I observed him again and again.

It's him, for sure.

If what you're saying is true, then something happened.

I should come over there immediately.

Hey! What are you talking?

You're aware of what happens if someone sees you or someone gets to know about this, right?

I don't care what happens.

I feel that he has the answers to many questions that I don't know about.

If someone from our village gets to know about this,

then your father will be in trouble.

You know about how our panchayat is strict about rules, right?

Stepping out of that village is as perilous as playing with fire.

I'll deal with everything.

Don't talk, and do as I say.

Keep following him.

No matter how far away he is, you should observe him.

Chandu!

I'll come over there by tomorrow night.

I want to see the truth that you're saying, and I want to listen to the truth.

Okay.

I'll follow him until you get here.

This is the order that you asked for.

This is your third bottle.

These are the fish fry.

This is the cigar that you asked for.

Mani!

Where are you?

You know where we will be at this hour, right?

You guys have to help me with something.

We'll do. Tell us.

I'm thinking of going out of this village tomorrow night.

You guys should help me with that.

What are you talking?

Yes.

What you heard is true.

I have to get out of this village.

Will you guys help me or not?

Tell us what to do.

Listen to what I say carefully.

It will take me three hours to go and three hours to return.

The rest of the time is enough to get my work done.

What do you mean?

Where are you going?

I'll tell you about it later.

Drive a motorcycle and meet up at the Banyan tree situated in the village's corner tomorrow.

Going out of the village means putting your life on the line.

He has stolen the idol of our tutelary deity.

What he has done is not a small mistake.

He has stolen the idol of a god who solves our problems.

Please forgive me for this time.

I won't do this mistake again.

Punishment is the correct solution for those who make mistakes.

Starting now, he shouldn't live around us,

instead, he should live in the graveyard among dead bodies that burn.

If he enters the village...

Madam!

Sir!

Don't beat me!

“Neelakanta! Neelakanta!”

“It burns every morning”

“It is a death in the night”

“Our fate is malicious”

“Salvation is the destination”

“Hey monkey like human”

“Don’t play the games with mask”

“Path of light is only by tearing the darkness”

“Do you know about Kurukshetra war not fought with righteousness?”

“Do you know about that wrongly left arrow from Ram killing Vali?”

“Lanka was burnt when Sita crossed the line drawn by Lakshman”

“Destruction of Pandavas was from the oath taken for Draupadis hairs”

“Truth is found if the Sun rises”

“It is roaming around in the dark”

“Even the corpse burning on pier shows a movement”

“It is not just enough to carry the blames”

“You got to do bad for doing some good”

“It is not enough just to run”

“You got to fight the death for life”

[6 km to Naidupeta]

[Naidupeta Janatha Bazaar Time : 1:24 a.m.]

Where are you?

Neela!

It's been so many days since I met you.

Okay.

Where is he?

He was here. Come!

This way.

See! He is sitting over there.

Sit here.

His house is also nearby.

I heard that he stays here more than at his house.

He's been escaping from us for so many days.

Today, we need to nab him under any circumstances.

Look! He's overthere.

Come with us!

Hey, Stop!

Catch him!

Hey, Stop!

If I catch you now, then I'll teach you a lesson.

Where did he go? Let's go that side.

Hey! Uncle!

Where are you going so early in the morning?

Nothing, uncle. We're going to the farm.

Okay, go.

Hello,

Neela, where are you? It's already morning.

Neela! We're very scared.

Vegetables! Milk! Milk!

Neela!

Milk!

The milkman is here.

Come quickly. I'm coming.

Why did you come? Where is Neela?

He is not well. He slept. Just give the milk.

I won't. Call him.

Just give it this time. He's not well.

You look suspicious. Is he in the house or not?

Hello!

I'm saying that he's not well.

Neelakanta! Neelakanta!

Who all is there in front of my house?

Hello! Hello!

Hello! Hello, I can't hear you.

The kids are playing Holi.

Hello! Hey!

Call him.

Ramanayya, what's wrong?

Neela comes every day to take milk, right? Yes.

But today Nagabhushanam is here.

Really?

That's why I'm suspicious.

Give it to me this time.

I won't. Call him. Call him.

I'll give it to him only if he comes. Otherwise I won't.

If he doesn't come within 2 minutes, then I'll go to Mr. Raghavayya. Deal with it.

Give it to me. Listen to me.

Give it to me, father. I won't.

Uncle.

Neela, what took you so long?

Where did you go?

Nothing, uncle.

I got held up at work yesterday, which made me stay late. That's why I slept there.

Okay, okay.

Neela!

Even if you're not well, you should come to take milk.

You know what happens otherwise, right?

Okay.

Let's go, father.c

Hey! Leave me.

I'm telling you.

Hey! Where will you go?

Greetings, sir. Good morning, sir.

I didn't rob anything.

Brother, why are the police here in our village?

He robbed something in our neighbouring village. That's why they're taking him.

If that could've happened in our village... They'll get punished by Mr. Raghavayya.

Why should we care? Come!

Kabaddi... Kabaddi...

Turn! Turn! Hey! Hey! Stop!

Why don't you hold him?

Hey! What's wrong with you?

Tell me what happened.

It's okay, even if you don't say anything.

But people are saying that this year's districtlevel Kabaddi competition is going to be held in our village.

It's a good opportunity for us.

We've been returning to failure every time.

But this time we will win, for sure.

Because you'll be there with us.

Hey! Neela! Neela!

Neela! What are you doing?

You said that you went somewhere yesterday.

Now you're searching the whole house.

I can't understand what is happening.

I'll tell you everything later.

I don't understand. Wait!

First delivery of these clothes to him.

Okay, father.

[Chanting]

Why did you run?

Do you know how scared I was?

Why?

Neela, you're not coming to the temple these days. Where have you been?

I was busy with work.

Put a sectarian mark.

Neela, Seetha is here.

Talk something.

You can talk to Seetha when she's alone, right?

What should I talk about?

Neela's past has Seetha in his life, but not now.

Why are you laughing?

I'm asking you. Why are you laughing?

How is he beating you right in the face?

I'm telling the truth. Don't mess with him.

It's good for you.

Neela is coming.

You're scared, right? You're scared, right?

Why?

Idiot!

Removing the scar on your face isn't as easy as dropping a cigarette from my mouth.

Why do you always hold a mirror in your hand?

He doesn't have as much interest in his studies as he has in his face.

Just see! I'll become a famous actor one day.

He can't become an actor with that mark on his face.

There she is. My daughter.

The girl is here. Look at her eating Imarti. It'll be soft and delicious.

Smile! Smile! Smile, oldie! Smile!

Mother, soninlaw looks handsome.

He looks like a perfect match for Seetha.

Sisterinlaw, does she know every chore?

What do you mean? She used to teach us.

She works as a teacher in the city.

Grandma, calm down.

Brotherinlaw, you talk to them. Talk to them.

Brotherinlaw. Tell me.

My daughter is good at everything.

You don't need to worry about anything.

Okay.

Count on her to take excellent care of both you and your family members.

I forgot something. Go ahead.

Ask her opinion as well...

No, brotherinlaw.

My daughter listens to what I say.

She won't say no to me ever.

I won't do anything without her approval.

Why aren't you listening to me? Hop off!

Neela!

Is it necessary to take such a risk? It feels like you're searching again for your pain.

Don't do it.

What do you mean?

This is the final hope for people like me who have lost love, right?

I want to see her, no matter how much pain I go through.

Hey!

Okay. Your wish.

Go! But be careful.

Okay. Get going.

Mani! Easy!

Go! Go!

You made this bald man smile too.

You're great!

Seetha hit a jackpot.

What are you waiting for, brotherinlaw? Do the ritual.

Neela! Neela!

I'm calling you, Neela. Wait, Neela!

Do you remember me, Seetha?

I have never forgotten you. Neela, you're the one I think of in my last moments.

It seems that the groom's family was here. Do you like him?

When are you getting married?

I like him very much.

I'll get married in the next 10 days, and I'll leave this village.

What's with you, Neela?

You promised me. You said you'd come.

But you didn't.

Even Goddess Sita didn't wait this much for Lord Rama.

But do you know how long I waited for you to come?

My father stopped me from coming.

I got to know that he got to know about us.

Finally, I convinced my father that I'd get married and came to this village.

But what are you talking about?

You're asking me, do I like the boy, and when is my marriage?

It seems from your words that my coming back doesn't hold any importance.

Neela, what's wrong?

Without fail, I desired to see you every day.

But I'm in a situation where I can't go out of this village.

I'm living by becoming habituated to pain.

To tell you the truth, there's a separation between embracing life's joys and merely existing.

Without you, I'm just existing. I'm not fine.

Upon learning that you were back in the village,

I hurriedly made my way to you, hoping to catch sight of you, if only for a moment.

But you didn't see me.

Afterwards, it became clear to me that I'm just a memory you hold.

Until now, I felt you were there with me, even though you were far from me.

But now, even though you're so close to me, I'm scared that you'll go away from me.

You fool! I saw you.

You're my love, Neela.

“I’m the tired man”

Okay. I'll get going.

Father will check on me.

I'll be back, Neela.

“With the hidden love”

“You are the Goddess I worshipped”

“This is a long time love”

“Don’t go now dear, away from my eye lids”

“Don’t go now dear, away from my tender heart”

“Don’t go now dear, away from my eye lids”

“Don’t go now dear, away from my tender heart”

We'll always have the blessings of God.

As always, you should take the initiative to celebrate the festival this year as well.

I won't be here for the festival this year.

Sir, you should be present. No, Sreenivasulu.

I'll be in the city for some business. You should take care of it.

Sure, sir. Sure, sir.

People who came for the festival...

You don't usually come to the temple, so seeing you here today implies there's something going to happen.

You'll see.

What are you doing?

Hello!

Hey! Where is Seetha?

She said that she has an unfulfilled vow to Lord Naga. So she went there to complete it.

Hey!

Seetha!

It's always me who is tense. What about you?

How is my sari? Tell me.

It's as breathtaking as the moon donning a sari.

But something... What happened?

Seetha, wait a minute.

What are you doing, Neela?

Don't move.

I can't put dishti chukka (a black dot to protect against the evil eye) on the moon.

That's why I put it on you.

Whatever, Neela!

Why haven't you put on the clothes I bought for you?

After so many days, I finally saw you again, and I happened to be wearing these clothes.

I don't want to remove these clothes.

Sarpanch!

Your daughter... My daughter...

Your daughter... Tell me. What is it?

Hey! Hey!

Your daughter is going out with Neela.

Have you seen them?

Yes.

This issue is being talked about by everyone in the village.

I can't live without you, Neela.

“Poleramma safeguarding the border”

“Drive away all the sins”

“They get sisters married and pray”

“Goddess Kamakshi for children”

“All the obstacles should be cleared”

“Be a shield for the women, hey goddess”

“Hey Goddess, drive away the evil sight”

“Save the crops, our Goddess”

“Hey Goddess, mother of all the Gods”

“Watch the dance of Pothurajus, hey Goddess”

“We pleaded during the celebrations”

“Put an end to our troubles, Goddess”

“I offered it all for you, hey Goddess”

“Hey Goddess, we pray for prosperity”

“It is a joy when the Goddess possesses”

“It is a trance when the carnival is on”

You love to ruin others happiness, right?

He's not 'others'. He is my enemy.

At the festival, focus on seeing God, not death.

Neelakanteswara!

Forgive me!

Sarpanch is behind everything.

My father got to know us.

Dear.

Hey!

I sent you to town for studies so that you could forget about him.

But you're roaming around with him. Don't...

I'm not the type of person to cry after killing my own daughter.

I'm the type to celebrate your death.

It would be chaotic if you were to come at this moment.

Neela, don't come.

You're the one who's always winning, sir.

Sir!

I have something important to discuss with you.

I'll take my leave, sir.

Sir! I love your daughter.

We want to get married.

She's not keen on the person you arranged for her to marry.

What do you say?

What do I say?

Neela!

What's the name of the game that you're playing?

Kabaddi!

Kabaddi!

Handing over my daughter promptly upon your request isn't as effortless as presenting you with a cup when you win the game.

Neela! Your status is over there.

Do you understand?

Stay over there.

Don't think about coming here.

It's dangerous to wish for a higher status than your own.

Remember it.

It's not good for the lives of people like you.

Half of your lifetime has been spent in this village. You'll spend the rest of your life here too.

“It is a resound when he steps ahead”

“When Neela comes ahead, the opposite fears”

What? What did you say?

Status?

It's a mistake to desire more than my status?

You've been one of those who promote going beyond status, yet you've held us down.

I won't let it happen anymore, Sarpanch.

I don't know what destiny holds for you as per God's decree.

But Neelakanta is writing your fate now.

I will ensure that you prefer death over your hope for survival.

I will compete for the role of Sarpanch, which you consider a status symbol.

I will marry Seetha only after winning.

You might see it as me presenting a challenge to you.

I'm just saying what will happen in the future. That's it!

I've already beat 10 members. He is the 11th one.

“He has the throat holding the deadly poison”

“It is the death bell when he gives a punch”

“It is the death bell when he gives a punch”

It looks like you're taking part in the Sarpanch elections.

I will. Why do you need?

Hey! Seetha is here.

Neela, you're out.

Whatever!

Are you aware of what you're doing?

Even though I urged you not to come home, you did.

Not only that, you challenged my father that you'd marry me only after winning the sarpanch elections.

Do you think we need to take such risks?

Here I am babbling like crazy, why are you so quiet?

What do you want me to say? What do you want me to say?

Should I leave you just because your father told me?

That's it?

See! Mistakes are the consequence of rushing.

Our dreams will forever remain out of reach.

How do you think you will win as a sarpanch?

You know what the people of this village think about you, right?

What? Tell me.

You also tell me. Theif! That's it, right?

You think that the villagers have a mistaken perception of me.

From my perspective, I'm enduring punishment even though I haven't made any mistakes.

If you didn't make the mistake, then where did you go that day?

You didn't say it to me.

Seetha! Seetha, truths kept secret aren't wrong.

I believed your return would breathe new life into my stagnant existence.

But I never thought you'd be here to make me remember my past and hurt me.

Seetha!

Darkness is an everpresent companion in my life.

Not only you, but no one knows about it. You don't know.

Neela! Neela! I'm calling you.

Neela, Stop.

Come! Greetings, Mr. Raghavayya.

Mr. Raghavayya!

Neela wants to stand against Sarpanch's position in the elections.

It's good, right?

We'll get to know the winner only if we have a competitor.

Let him!

The village's wellbeing is the priority, irrespective of who wins.

Mr. Raghavayya! What did you say?

Why are you here unexpectedly when you typically stay away?

Hey! Why are you here?

Did things go sour between you and Seetha again? We're asking you.

Have you fought with Seetha?

Hey! What's with him? What do I know?

Your status is over there.

You know what the people of this village are talking about, right?

What happened to him?

Rathamma here by informs all youngsters coming to the dance show.

Chilaka Saroja is arriving.

You enjoy and watch, it is up to you now.

“Hey boys and uncles!”

“Shall I open the gates now?”

“Youngsters and the old age people”

“Shall I play the band now?”

Hey Chintamani, stop that now and start the show fast.

What is it, boy?

It seems like you lost something big.

Do you think God forgets to give medicine for the pain?

Tell me.

Hello, mike testing.

Hello!

Hello, mike testing... Hello, mike test...

What is it? Shock!

Hello!

Carry me. I can't see. wait!

Carry me, brother!

Even if I carry you, you can't do anything. Shut up and see.

The Sarpanch will address us in a few minutes.

He is dedicated to striving for the progress of our society, district, and village.

But he won't do anything.

Hey!

He will start doing it from now on. For that, all of you...

Sarpanch will talk to us.

Go ahead!

Applaud!

Greetings, everyone!

I've made considerable efforts for the betterment of this village.

I won five times, unanimously.

Because you trusted me.

I've continuously honoured your trust.

I assure you that I will maintain it.

Mr. Raghavayya and I are continuously reflecting on the advancement of our village.

But this time, a kid named Neelakanta is going to compete against me.

There's nothing wrong with competing. But that guy is a theif.

Theif! Theif!

How can you vote for a guy who is a thief? I can't understand.

Hello! Tell me.

Hello!

Your fatherinlaw has gathered everyone and is giving a speech.

It's up to you to decide whom to vote for.

If there's any problem in this village, ask me.

Your being here is a big problem.

This village is in good hands with me as its sarpanch.

No problems! No problems!

Greetings, everyone.

Applaud! Applaud!

Take your seat! You prepared well!

Amazing! Your speech was exceptional, perhaps even superior to mine.

There are no problems for you, right?

Hey,

You all see my face 365 days a year.

I don't need to introduce myself, particularly.

That's why I'm choosing not to greet any of you at this time.

The sarpanch said something earlier.

He said what people in this village are thinking about me.

He's not recognising what the same people are thinking about him.

You said something earlier. There are no problems in the village?

Shall I show you?

Grandfather Seethayya!

It's been how many days since you've received your ration?

Dear, it's...

Say it out loud, grandfather.

It's been three years.

It's been three years!

How does the village benefit when a farmer is left hungry?

Aunt Kamala!

What was the doctor's diagnosis when you took your daughter to the hospital for her fever?

He mentioned being occupied with other tasks and suggested returning later.

He mentioned being occupied with other tasks and suggested returning later, right?

Are they coming to the hospital for private business rather than attending to patients?

If I continue to say that, then there's been a problem in every house.

Why do you say that there are no problems?

You know how many people are in the village and how many votes you can get.

But only I know what's the problem for everyone.

A true leader is someone who gets to know people's problems.

Then who are you?

Even though you're ignoring these people, they're greeting you.

They get scared when they see you.

They're just stupid people who fall on his legs instead of grabbing his collar.

That means it's their mistake, right, Sarpanch?

The person who listens to you and understands you is in front of everyone right now.

He is watching you.

Neela is showing us a movie without any connection. Yes, brother!

This is my symbol.

Because everyone knows my past.

Does anyone know whether it's true or not?

You don't know.

Don't think about whether I'm a good person or not, or whether you want to vote for me or not.

Believe me.

I'm giving my word to you.

I pledge to work exclusively for the betterment of this village.

Hey,

Hello, Neela. I'm at the location that you mentioned.

He's in ICU. His mother is also here. What should I do now?

Okay. Leave from there.

I'll call you again. Okay.

Goodness!

Lift your call, Neela.

Hello!

Listen to me carefully.

A squad of goons is being sent by my father to harm you.

Be careful!

I'll deal with it.

Neela!

I didn't say anything to you deliberately, except wanting you to be mine.

Are you listening?

Brother Mastan!

He's messing with our sarpanch.

You made a mistake, Neela.

Yes, Suri. His death is here.

How dare you want my daughter?

You want my Sarpanch's position?

I want your life.

He shouldn't be alive. Kill him.

Do you know what's the gravest punishment I assign to persons like you, other than death?

Placing a sword on your neck and leaving you without killing, sir.

Leave! Go and live!

Neela is cognizant that his successes can alleviate the difficulties he experiences.

Oh!

Okay. I've got some urgent work to do.

See you later! Okay, sir.

You stay here. Thank you.

I have a small doubt. Tell me, sir.

Do you also believe that Neela made a mistake?

Keeping aside my trust, no one has the answer to your question.

Even so, the silence I kept on the day of judgement gnaws at me.

All participating teams demonstrated excellence in the mandallevel Kabaddi competitions.

But in the semifinals, Saraswati Puram, Naidu Peta, and Kotagramam are going to compete.

Kicking off the competition, we have the Saraswatipuram and Naidupeta teams.

Neela is the raider on the Saraswatipuram team.

Saraswatipuram 1 point.

Saraswatipuram notched 1 point on the scoreboard.

Kabaddi! Kabaddi!

Hey! Get in!

Kabaddi! Kabaddi!

Naidupeta 3 points!

You remember it, right?

Singamalai! Vote for the symbol of the axe.

Naidupeta is continuously achieving points.

Why are you lingering there while the election process is underway here?

Is Neela's father present over there?

Yes, he is. Why?

He should see me winning over there.

And here I should see him losing.

Whom should I watch?

Hello! Hello!

Kabaddi! Kabaddi! Kabaddi!

Saraswatipuram 8 points. Naidupeta 14 points.

Saraswatipuram's chances of reaching the finals seem slim once more.

Give me a coconut for drink

Our village's honour is going to be ruined.

It's likely that our coach had a hunch about our impending defeat.

That's why he's roaming around that Kabaddi court.

It wouldn't be right to fault him for something that was our fault.

What did we do?

We tried until the last. We couldn't do it.

Accepting defeat has become a customary practice for our team.

You're new to playing mandallevel competition, right?

You'll feel that way.

Hey! What did you say?

Habitual defeat will keep us from achieving victory for a long time to come.

Hence, we'll be bested in this way.

Our priority should be to move away from that mindset first.

This game is not new to me.

No matter where we play, it's the same.

Kabaddi! Kabaddi! Kabaddi!

Yet, fear gripped all of you, and you changed the game.

Everyone in our village is waiting for us.

All eyes in the village are fixed on us,

hoping to hear the news of Saraswatipuram's success in the mandallevel Kabaddi competition.

Let's go!

It's not about our skills individually.

We all should play together.

Losing courageously is not the same as losing due to fear.

Our capabilities won't shine through unless we free ourselves from comparisons with others.

Saraswatipuram 3 points.

After the break,

Saraswatipuram is showcasing their intelligence in the game.

Seenu, the backbone of Naidupeta's team, has been knocked out.

For the first time ever, Saraswatipuram is going to enter the finals.

Saraswatipuram will have to contend with the strong Kota team in their upcoming match.

Kabaddi! Kabaddi! Kabaddi!

Saraswatipuram 3 points!

Vote for the symbol of the axe.

Hey!

Vote for the symbol of the axe.

Neela, the player on the Saraswatipuram team, got hurt so badly.

It's up in the air whether he can continue or not.

Hey!

Remember! You have to vote for the symbol of the axe.

Singamalai! Singamalai!

What is it, uncle? Are you thinking about whom to vote for?

Yes.

It's important to consider the character of the competitor rather than their religious background.

He didn't go out of the village for 15 years just because he got a judgement.

Who can be more genuine than him?

Saraswatipuram's team has been completely wiped out.

Neela!

You know what happened when you stopped once.

Pain has been the ruler of your life.

You now have the chance to live your life as a sovereign.

Don't leave it, Neela. Don't...

The Kota team is currently ahead with six points in the competition.

Let's vote for the symbol of the drum.

Let's make our Neela win.

The final contestant of Saraswatipuram's team.

Now they need 7 points to win.

Neela disregarded his injury and is moving forward as a raider.

Saraswatipuram's team secured its inaugural win in the Kabaddi mandallevel competition.

Neela! Neela! Neela! Neela! Neela! Neela!

Neela! Neela! Neela! Neela! Neela! Neela!

Neela! You won the election

We won.

Besides that, our Leela also won the Sarpanch election.

If you all don't like him, I will ensure that he is sent out of the village.

Finally, he achieved.

Sir, phone is repaired.

Sir!

Come Neela! I wanted to come.

You’re here before that.

I just came to know our village won the kabaddi competitions.

Of course, you made us win. You also won as the Sarpanch.

Now this village is in your hands.

Take good care.

Ok sir!

There was no day I didn’t feel to have given you a big punishment

for your mistake in the childhood.

But once it is announced and punishment is given,

entire village will be bound to that.

You know that.

I wish you understand this.

Ok! I understood, sir.

Fine!

Hey Neela, you forgot the cup.

Not just the cup, sir. Come, let’s have a talk.

You’re angry as I’m sitting in front of you, right sir?

You and I, both know that a monster killing the truth exists in you.

Keep that out now, sir.

What are you talking, Neela?

You wish to know? Call your brother in law.

Brother in law?

You are taking great care none should know in this village,

that same brother in law.

Go on and talk.

(Dumb man speaking)

What sir, is he talking dumb?

What have you done, man?

Where did you go for so long?

I had been to the jail, dude.

What have you done now and got caught?

Good if I had done something, but I was jailed without doing anything.

That is my worry, dude.

I had been to a house for robbery.

But another idiot had piled up everything there already and

showed me as the thief while running away.

That’s it, dude. All the people around handed over me to the Police.

I had gone in then and am coming out now.

So, the guy caught wasn’t the thief, but the guy who got you caught was a thief.

Leave it and continue, man.

The guy who got you caught was a thief.

'+ab', write down this formula. Chandu, sir is saying it wrong.

Ok! Sir! What? It is wrong, sir.

It is correct. No, wrong sir!

See the text book for once.

Fine, sit!

He isn’t writing what’s in the book correctly on board and what would he teach us now?

We’ll never pass now with the mathematics he teaches us.

Sir, counting mistake! It’s 94 and not 88.

Come here.

This is correct and this…

Fine, go!

He can’t even count the marks and will he hit us again?

Who is it?

Oh, you!

Sir! Why did you come at this time?

Sir, I fell down from my bike.

I’m thirsty. Can you please give me water?

Fine, come in.

No, damn!

Here, drink!

Drink and leave.

Sir, I came to know why you did so.

Say the truth at least now.

What are you talking, Neela? What’s this about?

If you delay one minute more in saying the truth, they’ll talk

stories about your death in Saraswati Puram.

You kept quiet when our son was being beaten up, right?

Added, you made him say sorry to the guy who beat him up.

Nobody cares about my son, right?

Is it because he is born to a mistress?

I don’t mean that, Sarada.

You don’t tell me anything.

I want the last exam paper taking place tomorrow.

What are you talking, Sarada? How is that possible?

It should happen. My son has just asked for one thing.

You must fulfil that and I need that exam paper at any cost.

Or else, you got to accept in front of the village tomorrow morning

that I’m your wife and he is your son.

You do whatever now. Brother in law!

I know that you heard it.

What, son?

You need the question paper?

Should I tell you what to do?

Hey Neela, our maths teacher!

Why are they going towards the school?

You are trapped now, idiot. I should put this blame on him.

Don’t be scared. I will not kill you.

Thank God!

Why did you do this?

It is not over yet, Raghavaiah sir.

There are so many truths you’ve hidden.

Call your brother Giridhar once.

Brother! He died long ago.

I killed him in front of the entire village as he did a mistake.

You are acting so great, Raghavaiah sir.

Hello! Hello! Hello!

What happened to him? What have you done to him?

Hey, stop idiot! Hey, stop idiot!

Who are you, rascals? Why did you bring me here and tie me up?

Saraswati Puram! Saraswati Puram?

Hey, you are dead. Raghavaiah sir killed you.

What exactly happened?

Untie me for once and then I’ll show what I am.

What will you show, rascal?

Hey Neela, stop dude. You stop.

If you don’t say the truth now, I’ll put you in front of the entire village.

You know what will happen then.

Hey, stop man. Stop!

Hey, what happened that day?

That day…

They are dead, sir. Everyone is dead.

You introduced a drug addict as a Doctor.

He gave the medicine treating mental patients to the kids, sir.

Not even a single life could be saved, sir.

All the kids died so horribly, sir.

We don’t know what all mistakes will take place as long as we have

such fake Doctors, sir.

You kill your own brother, sir.

I am a fake Doctor. Why do you care about that, rascal?

You are doing a mistake, sir.

No! No!

So, what Ragahavaiah Sir said to the village was a cooked up story.

Go on!

Hello! Husband! Sarada!

I’ve been calling you from two days, but I can’t reach you.

All the people who paid money beat up our son as the building

he was constructing collapsed.

I don’t understand what to do now? You should somehow…

Is it the call from hospital? Hello, husband!

One should study. It goes the same, when that is bought.

My father said me one thing.

He said Karma at times makes us undergo punishment even

for the mistakes we don’t do.

But you are undergoing punishments only for the mistakes you’ve done.

Many people in the village lost lives for your brother’s mistake.

When you did a mistake for your son, I lost my whole life.

You just need a fame in this village, but don’t care about the village.

You just need salutes from the public, but don’t care about their problems.

You’re taking the fame given by the village as a felicitation.

You don’t think it as a responsibility at all.

You made your word stand as an order here.

You give punishment at will and are searching happiness in that.

Am I right?

Yes rascal, I’m that.

World is not aware of this face. It is better that way.

I know, anything done in need is wrong.

I need a fame in this village, but I don’t need the village.

Not just the shoulders of poor, even their lives should be under my feet.

Only then, I will sleep in peace.

Similar to the shield covering Karna’s body in Mahabharata,

I covered the monster in me with the shield of being good.

Don’t let him come out, Neela.

Say, rascal!

I’ll bring your brother in front of the entire village.

They’d in no way let him live for the mistake he did.

Hey, hey!

You know where the entire public would then come to.

Raghaviah, sir!

No, man. No!

As you said the public here are high in anger and low in thinking.

Once they start avenging, they don’t care who is in front of them.

When the saluting hands hold knives and cut the throat…

Think about that.

Hey! Oh no!

No! No! All these may be the village public.

But they are not the public to keep quiet even after knowing to

have done a mistake, Raghavaiah sir.

I’m leaving my victory right here.

You’ll know the reason behind that in some time.

Neela, you are doing a mistake.

Raghavaiah sir, my name is Neela, Neela Kanta.

You know why I am saying the name?

Last name you’d listen to before dying is mine.

And I am the person you’d have in mind.

I had to salute these people serving me, because of you. Get lost from here.

No!

Hey, he is running away.

Hey, why do you care if I die or am alive?

Hey! Hey!

"Neelakanta! Neelakanta!"

"Neelakanta! Neelakanta!"

“Cross over the shore of tears”

“Let the droplet of pond touch”

“Tighten your fist”

“Tree at the border waits for you”

I need a fame in this village, but I don’t need this village.

Not just the shoulders of poor, even their lives should be under my feet.

Only then, I will sleep in peace.

Stop! Hey man, stop the car.

What happened?

Raghavaiah sir died. He died?

Guys, Neela is crossing the border it seems. Come on!

“How long will you carry this curse here?”

“Did you hide the truth for so long?”

“Entire village is watching your victory today”

“Let go your anger and safeguard us"

“Cross over”

“Cross over”

“Is the frog in the well feeling the new waters?”

“Will bad times be gone if you leave the village?”

“Will illusion win over if buried deep within?”

“Is the blood boiling even when living as dead?”

“Enough of you being a slave to your pain”

“Let your breath feel free and give life”

“Entire village is watching your victory today”

“Let go your anger and safeguard us”

“Cross over”

“Cross over”

‘SARASWATI PURAM THANK YOU’

Mom, I observed you many times.

You feel very happy when it rains.

Why do you like the rain so much, mom?

This rain has great relation to my life, son.

My dad said me. All the villagers from his village wanted to leave

from there due to a drought as there were no rains.

Then it started raining to fill hopes in their lives.

I too was born in that time and thus they named me as Varshamma.

This rain has wiped out the tears of people suffering with drought.

Thus, all the villagers treat rain as the symbol of good.

You too were born in these rains.
