[Narrator] 'There's no righteousness
without victory.'

'And there's no war without an army.'

'When Brahma learned that Ravana
would be born in the Treta Yuga,'

'he planned a great force
for Ravana's destruction.'

'The mighty beings
who took the form of monkeys'

'possessed divine powers
beyond the natural order.'

'They follow no caste or race.
They believe only in righteousness.'

'Righteousness is their weapon.
It is their way of life.'

'They can cross oceans.'

'They can build the Rama Setu.'

'They can even burn Lanka to ashes.'

'After Ravana was defeated, their commander
vowed that in this yuga, or any other,'

'he would stand with the army'

'and lead them whenever they struggled.'

'They are...

'divine sons,'

'masters of scripture and warfare,'

'and dwellers of the forest.'

VANAPURAM 2026

'Ravana has no end.'

'He will be reborn in every yuga.'

"Let all the blood spill
In the fiery fight"

'But creation maintains its balance.'

'A Vana Veera is destined to oppose him'

'is born in that age as well.'

'This is the story
of one such heroic Vana Veera.'

"O mighty warrior"

The stage is still far away,
why did you stop here?

No way!

If you park the bike in this crowd,
it'll get scratched.

Oh, there's mud on the tyre as well.

Why did you ride it here?
We could've just carried it.

You...

Are you kidding me?

You're lucky I even let you on my bike.

Poor thing!

Fine. Let's go. They started it.

[Song playing on music system]

[Whistles]

Bro, is he dancing or
messing with someone?

What's he even doing?

It's a recording dance, apparently.

Who is it?

It's me.

-Hey, Raghu!
-Get off the stage first!

Your things, Aunty!

Are my things okay?

I've been watching you,

you're just messing around
and calling it a dance.

Recording dance is an art,

and I'm afraid it'll vanish
because of people like you.

If you keep performing like this,

the next generation
will have to dig through YouTube

just to find traces of this art.

Numbskull!

They're artists.
Handle them gently, please.

Ah yes, the great artist has graced us
with his presence.

Enough talking.
Show us what you've got!

I'll learn from you.

Mr. Nagaraju, turn up the volume.

What happened?

Dancing isn't as easy as sitting there
and judging.

[Laughs]

[Music]

"You are the fragrant flower
You are the music of the strings"

"You're a lioness who kills with a look"

"You're golden, jewel-like!"

"You're a romantic who sets me on fire"

"When the evening sets in
Find a moment and sneak away to me!"

"Make me go wild and just blow me away!"

"You are the fragrant flower
You are the music of the strings"

"You're a lioness who kills with a look"

"You're golden, jewel-like!"

"You're a romantic who sets me on fire"

[Music]

[Police siren wails]

-Who informed the police?
-No idea.

It's me.

Then how dare he dance
with the girls we brought?

How is it?

You...

-What's her name?
-Ammaji!

-What's your father's name?
-Nannaji.

Pass me the pen, dear.

-Good morning, sir!
-Good morning!

Are these the ones brought in last night?

Yes, sir!

Order some tea for me, dear.

-Order me some hot milk too, sir.
-You idiot!

Is this hot enough, or do you want more?

-Sorry, sir!
-Wait a bit, they'll rub in hot oil.

Raghu, you're educated, right?

Why are you hanging out
with these idiots?

Uncle, it was this fool.

He's the one
who dragged me there to watch.

But those idiots...

I couldn't bear
to see the artists insulted, Uncle.

-Take it easy.
-We're educated too. Show us some respect.

-What did you study?
-ITI!

-He's from IIT.
-Both are the same, right?

That's your level of knowledge.

-Aren't they both the same?
-How would I know?

Even our master never told us.

-Uncle, he's built like a bull.
-God knows whether he knows or not.

He can't even lift that?

Him? He got caught stealing
in the neighboring village.

The S.I. said he'd release him,
if he could lift it.

-If we lift it, will they let us go?
-Of course.

No one has lifted it in 20 years.

Brawn won't help here, only brains will.

Oh? What's the story behind it?

Twenty years ago, there was an S.I.

He introduced this rule.

He believed whoever had the wisdom
to lift this would never go astray.

Since then,
it's become a routine at the station.

-Dude, want to give it a try?
-Good morning, sir.

Now tell me,
who's behind the recording dance?

Are you the one
who called the police station?

What? You planned all this,
and then you snitched on yourself?

Then how dare he dance
with the girls we brought?

Please give us justice, sir.

Hey, go and take care of the onions.

-Son...
-Yes!

-Where were you wandering all night?
-Where?

I didn't go anywhere.

You didn't go anywhere?
Then what about that fight?

Fight?

There was nothing like that.

Stop lying! You think staying quiet
will stop me from finding out?

[Gargling]

Uncle, why didn't you just make Raghu
work at the hotel?

He won't survive this, boy.

Of course, he won't stay here.
He'll stay at the police station.

What do you mean by that?

Wait? You don't know what happened?

A huge fight broke out
at the recording dance yesterday.

The police came
and took them to the station.

Everyone who studied with you
has a good job now. And look at you.

Without a proper job,
you're getting into fights.

What's your problem, Dad?

That I was at the police station,
or that I don't have a job?

Stop lecturing me, Dad.
Nothing serious happened, okay?

Son, we're living in poverty.

Raising your hand at someone
is not how we handle things.

Sometimes our actions come back
to haunt us.

-Brother-in-law!
-Oh, you're here?

I brought some curry.

Is this necessary
while I'm talking to him?

Dad, stop panicking.
You're making me worry.

I won't pick a fight with anyone, okay?

Yes, Father-in-law.
You're worrying for no reason.

He never picks fights with anyone.

Don't take his side
with half-baked knowledge.

He's like this because of you.

Dad, if you want to scold someone,
scold me. What did she even do?

Whatever. Looks like
you brought curry. Give it here.

It's not for you.
It's for my brother-in-law.

You don't show it, but you've got
a lot of love for me, brother-in-law.

Anyway, it's Father-in-law
who scolded me.

It's no big deal. Eat.

I don't want it. Go.

Hey!

What's with that attitude?
I spent three hours making this!

Say, "Aah."

Will you hit me or what?

I'll kill you. Eat it.

[Music]

"If days pass by filled with simple joy
That's enough"

"If our own people stand beside us
That's enough"

"If all our playful moments are shared
With love, that's enough"

"The whole town breathing love
Love, and more love"

"The Godavari swelled with
Feeling deep inside"

"The dusty paths turned lush and green"

"Like ripened fields
Life bloomed in full Godavari"

"The Godavari swelled with
Feeling deep inside"

"The dusty paths turned lush and green"

"It painted countless pictures of life
Godavari"

"O Godavari"

[Music]

"If days pass by filled with simple joy
That's enough"

"If our own people stand beside us

"If all our playful moments are shared
With love, that's enough"

"The whole town breathing love, love

"The dusty paths turned lush and green"

"Like ripened fields
Life bloomed in full Godavari"

Hey, Raghu, they advertise buns on TV?

It's not a bun, Dad. It's a burger.
Americans made it.

What's in it that makes it worth bringing
all the way from America?

I'll get one from town
next time I visit it.

-How do I eat this?
-Wait, I'll show you.

-Hold it with both hands.
-I did.

-Hold it on both sides and take a big bite.
-"As old times slowly fade away"

-Does it taste good?
-"Life longs for a brand-new taste"

Indu!

-There's a rakhi on the table.
-Okay.

Bring it. Let's go
to your father-in-law's house.

"When bonds grow stronger
That alone is enough"

"There's no price that money
Can place on worth"

Hey, are you blind?

"Life with our own people"

"It's a true living miracle
If it goes on like this"

"That's enough more than enough"

"The Godavari swelled with
Feeling deep inside"

"The dusty paths turned lush and green"

"It showed us countless scenes of life
Godavari"

"Godavari"

"The Godavari swelled
With feeling deep inside"

"The dusty paths turned lush and green"

"It painted countless pictures of life
Godavari"

[Music]

Hey, Mr. Dubai Sheikh?

You remembered your father
after all this time?

-How's your wife?
-Everyone's fine, Dad.

I'm booking your tickets this month.
You must come here.

I can't. If I come there,
who will look after your brother here?

Aunt will take care of him.
You just come. I'll manage.

Is it really necessary?

Hey, your brother's here. Talk to him.

Come quickly.

[Music]

-Greetings, Mr. Appaji.
-Greetings, Mr. Manohar.

What's the matter?
You asked me to come.

-Let's talk as we walk.
-Let's go, then!

We've been in opposing parties
for 10 years.

If we lose this time,
the party's future will be at risk.

We're failing, even though we've stood
as the party's iron wall.

This time, we have to win
at any cost in Vanapuram.

That's why the party decided
to give the seat

to someone respected by the public

not just someone with money.

Well said, sir.

To win the elections,

you must distribute money, alcohol,
and affection to unnecessary people,

but ultimately gain voters' trust.

These voters take money
and alcohol from everyone,

but they vote for the one they trust.

So choosing the right candidate
is crucial this time, sir.

Suggest a candidate,
if someone fits that profile.

There's a man named Deva, sir.
Late Ramachandra Rao's son.

In those two districts,
there isn't a single person

who doesn't know Ramachandra Rao.

Besides, they're the dominant caste
in both East and West districts.

Along with his father's legacy,
he inherited a strong caste bias.

You got angry just because someone
from outside sat in your home.

Just think...

One day, he'll be the one sharing a bed
with your daughter.

Can you bear it?

He would go to any extent
for the sake of caste, sir.

-They say God writes our fate.
-Deva...

-Mom!
-Son.

But He only sketches it.

Those lines are called boundaries.

If you cross them...

Your fate changes.

With him as the candidate,
victory is guaranteed.

He'll make a big impact, sir.

-Is it because he's from your caste?
-No! It's because he's the best.

Alright!

Keep it a secret
until the list is finalized.

Of course!

This time, the ticket...

Manohar uncle.

Greetings, Uncle.

Why the sudden visit, Uncle?
I would've come if you'd called.

-That's why we didn't call.
-Uncle...

It has a bigger impact

when we say some things in person.
What do you say?

True, Uncle. Come in.

I told the party that
no one else can make

that kind of impact
in Vanapuram except you.

The party president will be here
in two days

to assess you and your influence.

As long as this party exists
in this constituency,

no one else's name
should even cross their minds.

Sir, let's make a big impact.

Sorry, Uncle. He's one of us.

We need the impact
to be at least that big.

You're helping him with something so big.

Thank you so much, brother.

What I'm doing now is nothing compared
to what his father did for me.

It's nothing.

I don't care what you do
or how you do it.

Your welcome should be powerful enough
to shake the party.

Your impact should be big enough
to take you straight into the assembly.

Dad, here's your medicine.

I've noticed it...

Ever since you decided
to visit your elder son,

your tone and body language
have completely changed, Dad.

Isn't your flight tomorrow evening?
Why are you packing so early?

I have a small errand in town.

I'll finish that
and go straight to the airport.

Oh, great!

So, tomorrow I'm supposed

-to drive you all over the place?
-Don't worry about it.

Is this my first time
flying to Dubai?

It's not like you drop me
at the airport every time.

-I asked Auto Ramu to drop me.
-Fair enough!

Listen, Son.

Your father-in-law said
he'd get you a job

at the chemical factory
where our Indu works.

Why not give it a try?

And don't use my absence
as an excuse to fight.

-Do you understand?
-Yes.

My dear Suribabu,

I won't pick a fight
with anyone on my own.

-Okay?
-Okay, but I'm hungry, son.

Alright, let's eat.

-Brother-in-law...
-Yes?

He's refusing to sell his one acre
in the middle of our hundred acres.

I'll meet the investor tomorrow.

There's something more important
than that.

Hey, the chief from Head Office
is coming to meet us tomorrow.

You know that, right?

We need to show him
our strength and influence.

We need a bike rally here

that puts every other
state's rally to shame.

I don't care whether you persuade them
or threaten them,

but every step he takes toward me
must be lined with people and flags.

-Basava!
-Brother.

-You handle the bikes and the crowd.
-Okay, brother.

-Guru, about the rally arrangements...
-Leave it to me.

Brother-in-law, it'd help

if you gave the workers a day off

and brought them to the rally.

Look, Deva, I know
how important money is for your campaign.

That's why I told you
I'd buy your 100 acres.

But there's one acre
right in the middle of those 100 acres.

It's like a stone stuck in your teeth.

-I want that acre too.
-I've tried talking to him.

He won't sell,
no matter what I say.

I don't care whether you convince him...

Or kill him.

Stop there, you idiot!

It's up to you.

Stop!

-How many bikes do we have?
-Twenty-six in total, brother.

Only 26 bikes?
We're late already. Move.

[Phone rings]

-Boss!
-What's the status?

We've sent over 70 bikes, boss.

Another 25 just left.

You think 95 bikes are enough?

We need at least 150.

Boss, maybe we'll be short by five.

Hey, this is really important!

-You remember what the minister said?
-Yes, boss.

-He's giving me a hard time.
-Hey.

-Boss?
-Stop every bike on this side!

We still need fifty more bikes.

Go on!

-Stop! Pull it to the side.
-Who is he, looking like a buffalo?

[Whistles]

What is this?
Do I look like a beggar to you?

You just stuck your hand out
and stopped us.

Are we supposed to think
you're Ambani and not some beggar?

Girl, you're talking too much.

-Or else what?
-Oh God!

-Huh?
-Please don't get angry.

Brother, you think she's classy
just because she's fair-skinned?

She's total mass. What's the matter?

Look, brother,
we need your bike right now.

Get one from the showroom, brother.
It gives great mileage.

Your joke's great too.
But I'm not in the mood to laugh.

If you lend me your bike,
I'll return it by evening.

-What?
-We need your bike!

Hey, do you have any sense?

Who asks for a bike
in the middle of the road?

You think we're jobless?
We have to go to the factory.

Factory? They've given the workers
today and tomorrow off.

-[Cell phone rings]
-Speak to him, but no manhandling.

I'll be back after this call.

What?

Speak to him, but no manhandling.
I'll be back after this call!

Hello!

-Hello!
-Why are you glaring at me?

Ma'am, we're from the same village,

working for the same man.
If we don't help each other, who will?

Ma'am, just bear with us today.

I'll return it by evening
with a full tank.

I won't let a single scratch
touch your bike.

-Please, ma'am.
-Okay. Quit pestering me.

If you don't return the bike by evening,

I'll see your end!

Okay, ma'am. I'll definitely return it.

-Hey, Kumar!
-Brother?

Ma'am agreed to lend the bike.
Come get it.

I'll return it by evening, ma'am.

Thanks, ma'am. Go on!

[Drums beating]

When Manohar mentioned you,
I didn't think much of it.

Seeing your influence now,
I feel he actually undersold you.

Deva...

Your ticket is almost confirmed.

Thank you, sir.

Be careful with Doraswamy
the opposition leader.

You both belong to the same caste.

Keep a close eye on the votes.

You'll see.

I'll win, and I'll make sure
the party wins too.

Good.

THE RULING PARTY MLA's HOUSE.

Were they drunkards too?

Hey, Bachi! Don't get smart
just because I'm letting you.

I swear, I'll kick you!

Forget me for a minute...

This time, the NNP party
is giving the ticket

to Ramachandra Rao's son.

Oh no!

In cockfights,

you pit a strong rooster
against another one.

What's the point
of throwing a sparrow in the ring?

What do they mean by that, sir?

The boy is well-educated.
What more do they want?

Experience, man. Experience!

He's Mr. Ramachandraiah's son.

Hey, Bachi, his mother and sister
might vote out of respect.

But why would anyone else?

Don't overthink it
and fry your brain.

He just got the party ticket.
Let's see what happens.

But you won't do anything
for the village, right?

Give me your hand.

Hey, Bachi...

What's with all that annoying talk,
like a fly buzzing around my ear?

-What do you want me to do?
-Got the tickets?

I got them.
Dude, is that a new bike?

No, it's Raghu's bike.

Apparently, he was showing off
during the recording dances,

so Kumar brother
asked to use it for a while.

Then it'll end up
in the repair shop for sure.

Naturally.

-Okay, let me park it.
-Okay.

[Narrator] 'Just as Lord Rama meant
everything to the Vana Veeras,'

'that's how much Raghu loves his bike.'

Brother.

Brother...

Brother!

My bike.

I'll give it to you in the evening.

Okay, brother.

-Good morning, brother.
-Good morning, my foot!

Hey! Come here.

Will your father come bathe my back?

Come on!

Why are you scrubbing me
like I'm a buffalo?

What is it?!

I still haven't gotten
my bike back, brother.

What's with this bike, man?

Didn't I tell you
I'd send it this evening?

Okay, brother.

-Should I scrub your back?
-No need. Just go!

Alright!

[Crackers bursting]

Brother, have it.

-Greetings, brother.
-Oh dear!

Why are you haunting me like a ghost?

The guy who took your bike
hasn't returned yet.

I'll let you know when it comes.

Everyone's in party mode today.
Come tomorrow.

No way, brother.
I won't leave without my bike.

How long will you hang around here?

I'll stay until the day
you return my bike.

It's not that easy.

To stay here,

you need to either work here
or be a party member.

-Then I'll become a party member.
-Are you crazy?

Becoming a party member here
doesn't mean

you just give a photo and a signature.

Thirty members have to join under you,
and they must listen to you.

They should come whenever you call.

You doofus!

That's it? I'll handle it.
You just make sure my bike is back.

Darn it! He'd probably kill for that bike.

[Gate creaks]

Submit your Aadhar cards here.

Hi, brother.

-Hi, Raghu.
-Give me your registration forms.

-It's over 250 now, brother.
-Wow!

-Krishna.
-Oh no, the buffalo's here.

Srisailam's calling nonstop.
Find out what's happening.

-Okay, I'll check.
-Greetings, sir.

-Are these all the registrations?
-Yes, sir.

He's Raghu, the newcomer.
So far, he's managed 250 registrations.

-That's me, sir.
-Good!

If you keep doing good work
for the party,

-I'll introduce you to Deva soon.
-Thank you, sir.

What are you doing

while everyone's walking in
wearing slippers?

It's fine since I saw it.
But what if Deva sees it?

It would've been the end for both of us.

This house has rules.

It's not enough
if only you knew them.

It's your responsibility to tell everyone.

-Alright, boss.
-So...

Make sure the new joiners
behave within their status.

"Triganana Dootha"

"Killing it up brutal"

-Hey, come here.
-Brother!

-Tell me, brother.
-You're a tough one.

-You did exactly what I told you.
-Right? I'm awesome.

-At least return my bike now.
-We'll talk about your bike later.

-Serve them tea!
-What do you mean, brother?

I've brought so many people
into the party.

No matter how many you bring,
this is still your job.

Brother, I'll get someone else
to handle tea and coffee.

If there's any other work,
tell me. I'll do it.

Hey!

You think you're some big deal
just because you brought ten people?

If you want to stay, leave your slippers
and your attitude outside!

Slippers? What's with them, brother?

Around here, you need status
to get anything done...

even to wear slippers inside.

That's the rule. Go get the tea.

What are you looking at? Go!

Aunt, get me some water.

So I heard you joined a party?

Why are you getting into all this?

-Your father-in-law found you a job.
-Serve some curry.

Why not join there?

Be honest,

you joined the party
just for the bike, didn't you?

Why don't you answer, son?

Aunt, Dad put in so much effort
and love to get me that bike.

How can I let it go so easily?

Wait, I'll call your dad.

Mom, stop it.

Quit threatening him
with "I'll call Father-in-law"

over every small thing.

Doesn't he know the difference
between right and wrong?

Yes, you two
do whatever you like.

-Do it!
-Aunt.

-Some curd.
-I'll get it.

-Want some more?
-Did you eat?

After you.

-Stop! It's too much.
-It's okay, eat.

-Bro!
-What?

-Five teas and six glasses, please.
-Alright!

Here, bro.

Bro, here's tea.

-I don't want it.
-Have it, brother.

Hey, I said I don't want it!

Should I get 40 mirchi bajjis instead?

No, just give me the tea.

He thinks he's special.
I'll leave now, brother.

"Take it a stroll, see what you find"

"Make it a two-fold for the rhyme
Don't take it easy for the tribe"

"Give it a hard jab, don't be shy
Flow with the lifestyle, that is right"

"Don't take it easy for the tribe"

"Crash into the system
Make it right! Incredible!"

Five teas and six glasses, bro.

"Fearless!"

"Crash into the system
Make it right! Incredible!"

Okay.

"Incredible!
Fearless!"

-Brother, have some tea.
-I don't want it.

How about Jilebi?

Tea, bro!

"Incredible! Fearless! Alright"

You take it!

-How much?
-You help--

-I'll deal with you tonight. Wait.
-Handle them well.

"Don't want to stop it then hold it"

Bike thief Deva!

You must return our bikes.

You didn't even return the bikes
you took for the rally!

What will you achieve
by winning as an MLA?

Bike thief Deva!

-You must return our bikes!
-Quick, see who's playing it!

-Basava, stop it!
-You didn't even return the bikes

you took for the rally!

-You check that side. Go.
-What will you achieve

by winning as an MLA?

-Can't see anyone, boss.
-No one's here, boss.

-What will you achieve by winning as MLA?
-Hey, what's that?

You must return our bikes.

You didn't even return the bikes
you took for the rally!

What will you achieve
by winning as an MLA?

Turn it off first!

You didn't even return the bikes
you took for the rally!

What will you achieve
by winning as an MLA?

Bike thief Deva...

You must return--

-Why are you staring at each other? Go!
-Let's go, guys!

-Hey, Basa, how much longer?
-Can't you see? I'm coming.

-Hey, hurry!
-You two, go that way.

-Oh God, they're here!
-Quick, let's go!

Hey, Basa, hurry.

Hurry, man.
If they catch us, they'll skin us alive.

Why wait till then? Run!

-Hurry!
-Bike thief Deva!

You must return our bikes.

You didn't even return the bikes

-you took for the rally!
-Hey, turn that off too!

What will you achieve

-by winning as an MLA?
-Make it stop!

You must return our bikes.

-You didn't even return the bikes
-Hey.

-you took for the rally!
-Basava, go stop it!

What will you achieve

-by winning as an MLA?
-Hey Guru, go that way!

Bike thief Deva!

How long will this go on?

[Snaps finger]

Whoever did this isn't a fool,

he's extremely clever.

If we underestimate him,

we'll end up looking like fools.

He recorded the voice

and wired the battery
so it keeps playing,

even if the wires are cut.

We can't ignore...

these acts during the elections.

Basava, for now, just return their bikes.

Find out who did this,
and bring him to me.

[Music]

Why is he staring at me like that,
with that strange expression?

Don't tell me he figured it out.

Could he really have done
all that overnight just for his bike?

Something's fishy.

-Brother, have some tea.
-I don't want it.

Fine, I'll leave it here.

What's your problem, man?

If you don't want to drink it,
I'll clear it.

You're always pissed!

Can you hand me the scissors
by the plant, bro?

Why do you need the scissors?

Yesterday, Guru told me
to trim the plants. I forgot.

Oh! Where were you all night?

Were you the one
who set up mics all over the village?

Why are you laughing? Tell me the truth.

Then what am I supposed to do

if you don't return the bike, you doofus?!

Hey! What nonsense are you spouting?!

Let's go see Guru!

What are you staring at?

Hey.

Are you crazy?
How could you stab yourself like that?

Hey!

-Brother!
-Hey.

-Raghu, what's wrong?
-What happened?

Raghu?

Krishna, call the doctor.

Hold it tight!

Don't let him bleed.

Who stabbed him?

Basava stabbed me, sir!

He's lying, boss. I didn't do it.

-I just asked him for scissors.
-Hold it tight!

He stabbed me with those same scissors!

When I confronted him, he said,

"How dare you enter
our party office wearing slippers?!"

Then he stabbed me, sir.

-He's lying, boss. I didn't do it.
-Shut your mouth, or I'll kill you.

I can't bear this pain, sir. [Groans]

Oh God!

You brain-dead fool!

If he dies, they won't accuse you.

They'll just say one of Deva's men did it.

The opposition is waiting like dogs
for a chance to bring us down.

If they find out about this,

they'll make a huge scene.

I swear on my mother, boss.
I didn't stab him.

From this moment,
you must stay with him.

If he says anything,
or if word gets out by accident,

kill yourself!

Or I'll end you myself.

Alright, boss.

So you planned all this
just to shut me up?

Oh God, please protect Raghu.

Let's mess with this guy for a bit.

-My bike, my bike, my bike!
-Your bike's fine.

-Please lie still. Lay still.
-God! Oh dear!

-Is my bike safe?
-Yes, it is.

Careful, brother.

Careful?

Hey, are you even human?
You're a grown man.

What did my love ever do
to deserve this?

What happened? What's the issue?

Sir, it was this buffalo
who stabbed my brother-in-law.

And it was this same buffalo
who admitted him here.

Buffalo?

-Sir, my brother-in-law...
-He's perfectly fine.

To put it simply, he stabbed him
with a surgeon's precision.

-I didn't do it. He did it himself.
-Hey, shut up!

You think he's crazy to stab himself?

-Oh God! [Groans]
-My love!

Get some rest, my love.

-Okay!
-Go to sleep.

He asked for his bike,
and you stabbed him.

-Where's the bike, you moron?!
-Moron?

Enough with your nonsense!

Where's the bike you stole?

Dear, don't be too harsh on Basava.

See how kind my brother-in-law is.

For a man this great,
they should build a temple.

Look, girl, he'll be discharged
within an hour.

It's your choice whether you build him
a temple or a school.

-Come, I'll give you the prescription.
-Alright, let's go.

Do you need something to eat?

-Ask Basava if he wants anything to eat.
-Leave me alone. I don't need anything.

Okay, brother. Take care.
I'm heading out!

-Where are you going?
-To my home!

-Am I not allowed to go home?
-No, brother.

Did you even listen to what Guru sir said?

If even a fly dares to land on him,

end your life right there.

Otherwise, I'll finish you myself.

-So what do you want me to do?
-You don't have to do anything.

Just sit in the corner and watch me.

Oh God, he's killing me.

-Brother, brother!
-What happened? What?

Nothing, bro. I just checked
to see if you'd show up.

-Go sit over there.
-This guy...

[Humming a song from Muthyala Muggu]

-Brother?
-Yes!

What are you doing?

My wife asked me to bring flowers for
the pooja, so I'm plucking them.

I'm freaking out here,
and you're casually plucking flowers?

-What happened again?
-I've lost my bracelet, brother.

-Where did you lose it?
-It's important! Look for it!

Where is it?

Hey! It is right there on your wrist!

I mean, brother...

It slipped out of place.
Can you please adjust it?

-Please, brother.
-Can't you move it yourself?

-I'm in pain, brother.
-Ugh, my miserable life!

"Reyansh College of Hotel Management"

Why is he roaming around so carefree?

I need to give him some work.

-Brother!
-What is it now?

Can you come here for a moment, brother?

What is it this time?!

-Come here, brother. I'll tell you.
-Okay, wait. I'm coming.

He's torturing me!

Tell me.

-It's itchy here. Scratch it for me.
-You have another hand, don't you?

It hurts, brother.
Come on, do it.

Not there. Move your hand a little lower.

Lower your hand a little bit.

Now, go to your left.

Hey! At this rate, you'll
end up asking me to drink sewage.

You've already drunk it many times.

Hey...!

"Incredible! Fearless!
Fearless! Incredible!"

Brother, five teas and six cups, right?

You're quite sharp, brother.

"Incredible! Fearless!
Fearless! Incredible!"

"Fearless! Incredible!
Incredible! Fearless!"

"Fearless! Incredible!"

"Incredible! Fearless!
Fearless! Incredible!"

[Retching]

"Fearless! Incredible!"

-Yuck.
-You... brainless idiot!

Hey...

You made Deva drink this too, right?

Now I've got a hold of you.

-If Deva hears this, you're finished.
-Go on, tell him.

If he finds out about this,
he'll kill you first.

Why would he kill me?

Who brought me
into the party office in the first place?

-I did.
-Who told me to serve tea?

That was me.

Who got slapped
just because I wore slippers?

-Me.
-When I stabbed myself, who got yelled at?

Me!

If they find out I mixed that tea with
pure filth, who's going to end up dead?

That'd be me!

Do you get my point now?

[Singing a song from Narasimha]

No shame, no manners.
Sometimes I wonder if you're even human.

I've been scolding you non-stop,
and I'm exhausted. And you?

You could at least get a small job.
Look at him, he's working in Dubai.

You don't want to?

Even your sister-in-law's working now,
you fool!

[Sighs]

My dad always pushed me
to get a job for myself.

Look at me now. I'm serving you tea
and coffee just to get my bike back.

If my father finds out, he'll kill me.

-It's confirmed.
-Hey, get me some tea.

Yum! I don't know what
you're mixing in it,

but this tea tastes like nectar.

It's not nectar, brother.
It's...

Drink up, brother!

-Brother, I'll serve you tea. Have it.
-Hey, I don't want it!

-Go away!
-I made this especially for you.

-Leave me alone!
-Have it, brother.

-Is anyone around?
-Hey, go away.

We've been here for a while.
Don't you know to serve tea and coffee?

I'm here, brother.

Hey! Keep your distance and talk!

-Alright. What do you want?
-Bring us two teas!

Don't pour it in your cup.
Serve it in mine.

Okay, brother. Sit.
I'll serve it.

Where's the cup?
Hey, don't touch it!

Serve mine in this cup.
Serve it from a distance.

Don't drink the tea
he's serving you, brother.

We shouldn't drink it?
Who asked for your opinion?

It's not for my benefit, brother.
I'm begging you. Don't drink it.

Why should we listen to you?
You bear-faced goofball! Get lost!

-Get lost.
-Hey...

Hand me the biscuit packet
we bought from our community shop.

Don't touch it. Just show it.

Hey, Srisailam!
What's going on there?

He puts on a Charlie Chaplin outfit
and starts feeling like a hero.

It's nothing, brother.

We have a festival
in our village in two days, right?

I came here because of that.

Basava!

From now on, Srisailam will handle
all the festival work.

Okay, boss.

Brother, what should I do from tomorrow?

Nothing much.

Wear a short skirt and dance to
"Atu Amalapuram, Itu Peddapuram."

They'll enjoy the spectacle.
Get lost!

[Drums beating]

[Inaudible]

Oh damn!

What's with the glow on your face?

It's as if the moon
has come down to earth.

It's the festival, right?

The change is much needed.

The parade has started.
Let's go.

Mom!

Chinna.

-Son, did you get hurt?
-Hey...

-Who's responsible for him?
-He's my son, boss.

-Your son?
-Yes.

Basava.

Just because
we're letting you walk with us,

don't you dare forget your place.

Okay, boss!

-He didn't know, boss.
-Make sure he understands now.

This must not happen again.

Chinna, are you hurt anywhere?

Nothing happened, right?

You two don't look alike at all.

-Which school do you go to again?
-K.G. Government School, brother.

Your father told you
not to go that way. Why did you?

I went just to see the deity, brother.

Why do you need to join the group
just to see the deity?

My friend said the parade god

looks magnificent
before the rituals begin.

The deity is carried past
only their house every time.

He gets to stand there
and pray happily.

I asked my father
to bring the deity to our street too.

-Then what did he say?
-He said the deity won't come here.

He says we're not allowed
to see the deity up close.

We're only meant to watch from a distance.
That's why I went there.

A kilo of chana dal,

half a kilo of moong dal,
a quarter kilo of sugar...

Tea powder?

They'll mix
all sorts of disgusting stuff in.

We don't need that.

Hey, Basava! Order tea for everyone.

Will you die if you don't drink tea?

Get lost!

I wasn't talking to you, dear.

-Hey, Basava!
-Hey!

-Brother.
-We've got some bikes.

-Tell him to come.
-No need. He knows everything.

Look, he's here.

Good morning, brother.

They brought in some bikes.
Go find yours.

-I can escape your torture.
-Okay, brother. Thanks!

I think we've got all the bikes.

I don't think we're getting any more.

-Brother!
-Yeah.

-My bike isn't here.
-How's that possible?

I get it now, brother.

-I get it.
-What do you mean?

-You sold my bike.
-Why would we sell your bike?

Why not?
Why not?

You two are partners, right?
Did you sell it together?

-How much did you make?
-What are you saying?

-Find it, brother. It's a new bike.
-Why would we sell it? Okay, wait.

-Kumar?
-Who's Kumar? Go find him. Go!

-Kumar! Hey Kumar!
-I'm coming, sir.

This buffalo took my bike? Really?

-Did you take his bike?
-I wonder what happened to my little boy!

-Yes, brother.
-Then why didn't you return it?

Come on, talk!

The bike was stolen
when our guys went to the movie, brother.

What do you mean?
My bike was stolen?

-Did you sell it? For how much?
-I didn't sell it, brother.

Tell me how much you sold it for.

You three are partners, right?
Now I understand.

-What's the fuss?
-Brother.

Thanks to these three, I lost my bike!

We just found out, brother.

No need to stress over it.

It's my responsibility
to get your bike back.

How? It's already been stolen!

It's my word.

You'll get your bike back in two days.

If I don't?

I'll tell Deva and get you a new bike.

Okay, brother.
Thank you!

Hey, keep this inside.

-Greetings sir.
-Greetings sir.

-Brother!
-What is it?

You promised you'd introduce me to Deva.

That's after two days.

For my sake,
let me meet him before that, brother.

-Hey...
-Please brother, please!

How did I end up with you?

-Please, brother.
-Let's go!

-Okay, brother.
-Yuck.

-Is this guy a magician or what?
-True.

It's like he can easily outsmart anyone.

[Rap lines]

Hey, stop!

What's in your pocket?

Take them out and leave there.

Hey, wait.

-What's that?
-Damn it!

-Wrapper, man!
-Keep it there.

-Even this?
-I said, put it there!

Look at him overacting!

You can go in now.

[Rap lines]

-Greetings, brother!
-This is Raghu, Deva.

Greetings, brother!

I'm the one
who put up all the cutouts in the village.

And I brought in
around 250 registrations for our party.

Guru told me already.

You put in a lot of effort,
and I appreciate it.

The moment they couldn't find your bike,

I should've made
the necessary arrangements for you.

That's our mistake.

Since it happened while I was here,

The mistake would be...

-Mine.
-No, brother!

No, Raghu...

You gave your bike for the rally.

I got caught up in politics
and couldn't find the time.

Some things slipped through.

Don't misunderstand me.

I've assigned
two constables to find your bike.

They'll definitely track it down.

If they don't find it in a week,

I'll personally get you a new bike
with the same model.

Brother, thank you!

Guru, Manohar uncle called me.

-Handle this for me.
-Okay, Deva.

-Okay then, Raghu.
-See you, brother.

Raju, start the vehicle.

Hey, pass me the sanitizer.

That dimwit!

[Cell phone rings]

Deva sir just left.
He'll be there in ten minutes.

-Where is the wrapper?
-Wrapper?

"Hail the son of Anjani"

"Hail the son of Anjani"

[Screams] Hey...!

-Kill him!
-You!

Come on!

[Sanskrit]

Hey! Somebody stop him!

Hey...!

How dare you hit me?

Hey, let me go.

How dare you hit me?

How dare you hit Guru?

How dare you hit Guru?

How dare you!

Hey!

[Screams]

[Indistinct chatter]

Why is he beating up Guru?

Apparently, he wiped his hands
with a tissue paper.

Isn't tissue paper
meant for cleaning hands?

Hey...!

[Screams]

[Verse from the Hanuman Chalisa playing]

[Cell phone rings]

-Hello, Uncle.
-Deva...

What's happening
at Vanapuram police station?

What happened, Uncle?

I heard you're roughing up
some youngster with the police.

Listen, Deva.

You mustn't mess
with certain castes during elections.

-It's not that--
-Listen to me!

We can deal with him after the elections.

Go to the police station
and personally get him out.

Did you understand?

Okay, Uncle.

-[Sighs]
-Ouch! [Groans]

Deva sir told me to stop,
and that's the only reason I did.

Otherwise, you'd be struggling for a week
before you could even sit up.

They're of a higher status.

Your strength isn't enough
to go against them.

They're not as good
as they look in those cutouts.

Once they step into your life,
your whole world changes.

Raghu, Raghu, Raghu...

To think you did
all this for just a bike...

I'm impressed.

So all you want is a new bike, right?

[Chuckles]

Here you go.
There's your new bike.

Okay? Happy now?

Forget everything that's happened.
Just go home.

Be at the office tomorrow morning.

We'll work together for the elections.

[Laughs]

Who told you
I lost my bike, brother?

[Whistles]

"Lord Rama, the creator!"

[Music]

"The fight is on you got the town"

"No throne, no fame, no crown united"

"The fire is up
You take the ground"

"Within your heart
You know you're righted"

I'm the one
who stole the bike from them.

"The fire is on!"

"The fire is up!"

"To cast the dark
Behold the light"

Then why are you doing all this?

"You soar the skies, take out the walls"

"No fear, no fall, no fright, united!"

"O mighty warrior
Charge forth without fear"

"Let's go"

"Let the world crash down
We're ready for it!"

"The show starts now!"

Deva, he's your classmate Surya's brother.

"The show starts now!"

"The war has just begun!"

Sir!

"Let all the blood spill
In the fiery fight"

"Fight and fight with all your might"

"Let all the blood spill
In the fiery fight"

Hey! You're supposed
to lift it with one hand.

[Rap lines]

Is this much strength enough, sir?

"O mighty warrior
Charge forth without fear"

"Let the world crash down
We're ready for it!"

"O mighty warrior"

5 YEARS AGO

What's he doing here?

-Is he from the reserved quota?
-No, I heard he got it on merit.

Can anyone solve this?

-Excellent!
-[Applause]

[Bell rings]

See you tomorrow.

[Inaudible]

Why are you talking
to such a cheap fellow?

What are you saying, Deva?

I never thought you
were so narrow-minded.

This is IIT,
and he's got actual talent.

I asked him a doubt,
what's wrong with that?

Is that his so-called talent?

Looks like you're getting excited.

-Deva!
-Shut it!

Move aside!

Hey.

Just because everyone clapped,
you think you're some big shot?

No matter how many degrees you earn...

Your roots stay the same.

-You...!
-Deva are you mad?

Hey!

How dare you grab my collar?
You moron!

Surya!

Leave him.

Deva, let him go!
Don't do anything, please!

Please, Deva. Stop!

Don't hurt him, please.

Please, Deva!

Deva, stop it!

[Crying]

This is your pathetic life.

Surya. Surya!

Surya.

Surya!

Surya.

Surya, wait.
Don't leave, please!

Please.

PRESENT DAY

Why are you getting involved
in Deva's affairs?

How many times must I tell you
to stay away from people like them?

Why do you do this? For whom?

Do you even understand the consequences?

[Vehicle approaching]

Greetings, ma'am!

My name's Deva.

I am your future MLA!

Your cowardly brother isn't here anymore.

What's the point of revenge now?

Guru, look into his eyes.

Something is missing.
What is it?

Fear.

There's no fear in his eyes.

Let's give him a taste of that.

Ma'am, be careful from now on.

The world isn't safe anymore.
People are cunning.

With men like these at home, be on guard.

Because after today,

no one can predict...

what will happen next.

I'll take my leave.

Let's set our family quarrels aside.

In the coming election,

make sure you cast...

your valuable vote for me.
Don't forget that.

The mace symbol.

Forget it. Make sure
the counting is done right.

-Finish it first.
-Okay, sir.

Do one thing.
Clear out all that load.

-I'll go talk to them.
-Okay, sir.

-Hey, pick up that load!
-Okay, boss!

What's wrong, Guru?

Thanks to our Deva's warning,

Raghu and his entire family
are scared witless.

-Really?
-You've got it wrong, Guru.

Our warning barely had any effect on him.

In his eyes,

I couldn't even see an ounce of fear.

What now? You want us to kill him?

If we kill him, his life ends in minutes.

He must feel pain.

Let him taste fear.

First, we need to get rid of the fear
he's created in people.

If he ever dares cross our path again,

his limbs should shiver with fear.

He's willing to gamble everything
for that position.

We need to strip him of it.

We must strike him in a way
he can't get back up.

We'll humiliate him in front of his family

and make him
an outcast in his own home.

Every blow from now on
should remind him of his father.

Deva's victory must rewrite his fate.

They must stand on the land I control.

History shows five men
can bring down a hundred warriors.

So why can't we unite
and bring down one man?

For that to happen,
someone who understands our struggles

must come forward
and run against him in this election.

Come on! Quick!

Okay, Uncle.

Settle them down first.

-Empty the load!
-Grandpa.

-What's the matter, Ravi?
-I need to have a word with you.

-Go ahead.
-You're the eldest among us.

No one knows this village like you do,
having lived through two generations.

If you become a leader,
the village will prosper.

Why don't you run
in the election this time, Grandpa?

That's for people in power.
Why should we get involved?

Anyway, we're doing fine now, aren't we?

Politics isn't something
you pursue out of ego.

It runs on money.

We've already suffered enough
because of him.

You expect us to confront Deva
after everything we've been through?

It's not that, Uncle.

-Things change when people like you--
-Son.

If we go against them,
all we'll end up with is misery.

It's a good initiative, thinking about
the betterment of our lives.

Still, do we really need to risk all that?

-Let it go.
-Uncle.

[Inaudible]

Sir, they're weighing it wrong.

-You call yourself an elder?
-Hey, let him go. Honey!

-How dare you lay a hand on my daughter?
-Hey! Back off!

-Hear me out, sir.
-I'll kill you! I'll end you right now!

-Let him go!
-Dear!

-How are you any different from an animal?
-Hey! Leave him alone!

-Hey! Move aside.
-Please, stop!

What happened?!

We sent our daughters to him
trusting he'd teach them,

but he's been acting
inappropriately with them.

Ugh! Stop it. Did you see him do it?

Did you see it? Did you?

Don't you know what kind of man he is?

He's been teaching them
for the past 10 years.

Now that he's been accused,

can't you tell what's true
and what's not?

Someone spreads a rumor

and you go after him,
just believing it blindly?

It's easy to accuse someone.

But to remove that stain,

one lifetime isn't enough.

Be it him or your daughter!

Quit chasing lies.
Find the truth instead. Go!

Go!

-Leave!
-Come on!

Let's go, Uncle!

Come on, sit.

Aunt, go bring some hot water.

Get out!

I said, get out!

Aunt?

What you've put us through already
is enough.

-Mom.
-Shut your mouth!

Because of you, a man of his character...

was accused of wrongdoing!

Who knows what will happen
if you continue to stay with us.

Please get out of my house.

I'm begging you...

Please leave my house.

[Music]

[Narrator] 'Where every Vana Veera
fell on the battlefield,'

'one warrior remained standing.'

'But how far can
a lone fighter go on his own?'

Guru.

Now we can focus
on the campaign without any worries.

-You're right.
-Talk to Srisailam

-and get our people ready.
-Okay! -[Cell phone rings]

Manohar uncle.

-Greetings, Uncle.
-Hey, Deva.

How's the election campaign going?

It's great, Uncle.
We'll definitely win by a lakh votes.

A whole lakh? For the opposition?

-Uncle.
-If you were really that impactful,

why would I bother calling you?

Reports indicate
the opposition's strong in your area.

-That's not true, Uncle.
-Listen, Deva.

The party wants to win
the East and West seats at any cost.

That's why I'm sending
a PR team to help you.

-Uncle.
-You take care of them.

They'll handle everything else.

I heard the newly appointed
election officer

isn't cooperating with us.

Be careful with him.

Sure. Definitely, Uncle.

Thank you, Uncle.
See you.

[Brakes squeal]

Why is a beauty here instead of PK?

Oh dear!

I'll flirt with her, make her mine,
and she'll become one of our caste.

That's my girl, bro.

-My name's PK.
-Oh.

This is my PA.
Her name's Flight.

Wait, Flight?
Can I ride it once?

She's my...

Special chartered flight.
Don't you dare touch her.

I thought PK would walk in
with a huge entourage.

Why are you coming from behind us, sir?

To help you all succeed.
I've got your back, literally.

-Oh!
-Consider this my symbolic arrival.

From today, you move as I command.

Have some water, sir.

You speak so well.
Are you from our community?

The MLA sent me here
because I'm one of you.

Did you just drink from the same bottle?

When you're one of us,
it's not considered tainted.

-Very impressive, Mr. PK.
-Tastes good.

Please, tell me.

-What's the first step we need to take?
-You don't have to do anything.

Complete the nomination first.

Then I need to know
what people think of you.

Tomorrow's the last day
to file our nomination.

But we couldn't find
a single candidate to compete.

What's the plan now?

We're fighting for change.

But them?

Bound by the fear called Deva,

they've settled into a life of slavery,

forgetting they have
lives of their own, brother-in-law.

We just need one.

One person is all it takes.

One who's brave enough
to step forward will do.

Just one.

I have a feeling this won't work out.

At least now, plead with Deva
and make a compromise.

They'll spare your life.

[In Unison]
All hail the upcoming MLA Deva!

All hail the upcoming MLA Deva!

Look at this crowd, sir!

This isn't a nomination filing anymore.

It feels more like
an oath-taking ceremony.

[Music]

[In Unison]
All hail the upcoming MLA Deva!

What's up, dude?

You still haven't packed?

Your time runs out with the election.

After that,
you won't be able to go anywhere.

You useless bunch don't even
deserve to stand before me!

And yet, you thought he could
run against me in the elections?

Do your people have the guts for this?

You moron!

Leaders always rise
from the people, brother.

Even from the so-called you spoke of,

many leaders were born.

Want to see our leader?

[Music]

"King's own blood
Begins to roar and boil!"

"A burning strike
Against the silent night!"

"The hand that held back once
Now rises to strike!"

Basava?

"Against this cursed fate
Fire shall rain down!"

What are you saying, man?
How can I go up against Deva?

It's not just for you or me.
It's for everyone.

Especially for their future.

To have a future,
shouldn't we stay alive first?

Are we really living now, sister?

We're walking barefoot before them.

We see God from afar.

If we want our lives to change,

only you, who knows Deva inside out,
should contest.

I have neither the status
nor the means to buy votes.

Leave that to us, brother.

People need more than money.

They need trust.

Lead us from the front, brother.

We'll back you from behind
like a Vana Veera army.

Yes, brother.

-You just need to contest.
-Yes, brother.

Please contest, brother.

"A burning strike
Against the silent night!"

"The hand that held back once
Now rises to strike!"

Please contest, Dad.
We'll get to see God up close.

Just because
we're letting you walk with us,

don't you dare forget your place.

No one needs any qualification
beyond devotion to behold God.

"Hail the son of Anjani"

"Hail the son of Anjani"

You were like a dog back
when you worked for me.

Now you're barking at me?

I was loyal,
yet you treated me like a dog.

Anyway, I've always belonged
to the party, not to you.

Hey! Winning an election

isn't as easy as carrying a flag.

Why not? Why can't we win?

You need our people at your meetings.

You need our bikes for rallies.

You need our votes to win.

But we shouldn't contest.

You think even if we contest,
we won't win.

With these elections,
I'll change that perception of yours.

What would you do
without the party's support?

Hey, blockhead!

The party needs supporters,
but supporters don't need the party.

Let's go, brother Basava.
Let's file the nomination.

Let's go, brother.

Hey, Guru...

I see something in his eyes.

What could it be?

Do you see it too, guys?

Hey! You can see it too, right?

[In unison] Yeah, we can see it clearly.

Guru, take a look.
Maybe you'll see it too.

What's your problem, idiot?

Bloody buffoon!

'We've found our Vibhishana
for this Vana Veera army.'

[Drums beating]

-My friend.
-Yes?

-And then our Lord Hanuman,
-Yes, yes.

Seeing Lord Rama's torment
during His separation from Sita Devi,

to relieve Him from that pain,

He awakens the mighty powers
hidden within Him.

-In search of Sita Devi's whereabouts,
-Then?

-sets His foot upon Mahendragiri,
-And?

And to reach Lanka,
the city of the dreadsome, valorous Ravana

He leaps across the vast ocean
of a hundred yojanas!

What did Lord Hanuman do as He crossed it?

[Music]

"Listen, Mallesh
Slurping on that stick of ice"

"The glorious tale of
Our Vana Veera hero!"

"He who made Lanka quake in fear
The very incarnation of Shiva"

"With one fierce lash of His tail
He brought Simhika to her knees"

"Born of the Wind
Hanuman the brave"

"The Monkey King reigns atop the banner"

Brother. Two pancakes, please.

With the election close,
who do you think will win?

No matter who wins, we gain nothing.

What was that? Say it louder!

I'm saying, if Deva sir wins,
it'll be better for all of us.

Did you see that?
Deva's influence is everywhere now!

[Music]

Dear Flight,
this shop is owned by our caste.

Uncle, who will you vote for?

Their things better be good
if they want my vote.

-See that?
-You and your Instagram madness!

Grandpa, the elections are almost here.
Who are you voting for?

"With a flaming tail, a thunderous roar
Our fiery Vanara stormed into battle"

"With trees wrenched loose
And towers torn apart"

"He reduced it all to ruin
O mighty Vanara!"

"Here, there, everywhere He raced
Our Vanara stormed through the place"

"Look all around
Through groves and fields"

"The Vanara moving
With the speed of the wind"

"O Vanara
Whoever calls for Him..."

Hey, Basava. How are you?

Support my candidacy
and make me MLA again.

I'll settle your payment in one go.

-Sir, I have a quick question.
-What is it?

What have you done
for the public in the last ten years?

Hey! Don't you have
any respect for your elders?

Elder? What has he ever achieved?

You don't become an elder just by age.

You earn it through your words
and actions.

I'll take my leave.

The would-be, former MLA sir.

"Who is wiser than the Lord himself?"

"Who is braver than the Lord himself?"

"No strength can match His might!"

"No shadow of fear when He's in sight!"

"Who is sharper than our Master?"

"Who is fiercer than our Master?"

"What pride could ever rise above His?"

-Ravi.
-Yes, brother-in-law?

Did we receive money from the investor?

He said he'd transfer it
in three or four days.

We sold land to fund the campaign!

-The elections are just four days away.
-We'll get it before that, brother-in-law.

-Krishna!
-Sir.

The money could come in
just before the election.

-Sir!
-Get our men ready.

To distribute it.

Hey! What are you doing?

If you make a hole at the top,
won't they notice the stitch?

Then, how do we stitch it, sir?

Get up.

-You stitch it like this.
-You sewed it perfectly, sir.

That was perfect!

Keep it.

My God! You're no ordinary man.

You stitched it
like it's your family trade.

What do you mean, "like"?
It's literally our family business.

-It means you are...
-Yes.

You guessed it right.

But didn't you say
you were one of us this morning?

If I'm doing your work,
doesn't that make me one of you?

I'm going. I'll drown myself.

If we'd dealt with him
and his family that day,

instead of letting them off with a warning

we wouldn't be in this situation now.

If we kill them, it won't be their end...

It'll be ours.

-What should I do now, sir?
-Become a better person.

-Uncle.
-Hey, Deva?

-What's up?
-It's about...

-I wanted to talk about her marriage.
-She's your sister.

We'll get her married as per your choice.

I think it's better
if we let her marry someone she loves.

What about the caste?!

-I won't accept it.
-If he wins,

he intends to make you Sarpanch.

The rest is up to you.

-Sarpanch?
-Yes.

If that's the case,
Deva's word is mine.

Why did you all come together?

-Do you need fresh baskets?
-No, we need your son.

What did he do?

-He fell in love with his daughter.
-What?

Love?!

I pinned my hopes on him
and landed in a 20-lakh debt!

-Twenty lakhs?
-And you want to take him away?

Please don't worry, sir.

I'll arrange the money.

-What do you say, PK?
-Then I'm with you!

Let's go.

Thousands are waiting for you
at the meeting.

[Brakes squeal]

Deva, this is your final speech
before the election.

Your speech should drive the crowd wild.

Your speech should inspire

even people without voting rights
to rush in and vote.

This isn't a crowd, it's a raging storm!

Where's the crowd?

Yeah, where are they?

People who never even set foot
in our area are now visiting our homes.

The very people who treated us
like dogs are now showing us respect.

Those who wouldn't even share
prasadam with us

are now sharing our surnames.

These stunts are only
for the election season.

Afterwards, we'll go back
to being treated like dogs again.

The whole world is progressing,
but we remain where we are.

We keep bowing
to those families just to survive.

Must our kids live
the same miserable lives?

Tell me this.

Must a mother sell
her own nuptial necklace

just so her daughter can wear one?

I wonder when our lives will change.

When you choose the right leader.

Every five years,
we get a chance, don't we?

What are we doing?

We sell our votes for money and booze.

Remember this.

For us, a vote is an opportunity

To them, it's a necessity.

The only chance for the unemployed,

for laborers waiting for work,

for the elderly waiting on their pensions,

and for people like us
who hope for change.

It's the vote.

Those who choked us with their obsession

with power and caste
must answer to us now.

They should feel what it's like
when hands once raised

in praise are now raised to fight.

That only happens when
the authority lies in our hands.

Basavanna is one of us.

He grew up with us,
felt our pain, and stood by our side.

If brother wins, it's a win for all of us.

Let's lead him to victory!

[Unison] Let's make him win!

What the hell are you even doing?!

Hello!

What's the matter, Deva?

Seems you've prepared a speech
for nothing but empty chairs.

[Laughs]

Your grandfather,

your father,

my father, and I

set some boundaries
for this constituency.

And you, being a young bas--

I get it, dude. It's censored, right?

You're erasing those boundaries.

Mind your words, Doraswamy.

Hold on, man.

Listen, Deva.

It's either your family or mine
that should win in this constituency.

No one should swoop into the middle,
especially those useless bas--

Do you think their feelings will be hurt?

Our lives are falling apart here!

He shouldn't win!

Losing isn't new to me.

Something new is coming your way.

You won't survive the shock!

I'm telling you this because
we belong to the same community.

Be careful.

Listen, take good care of him.

-Is the vehicle ready?
-Yes, sir.

You handled them well, sir.

-You're no ordinary person.
-That's why I'm in the politics.

-Should I call Ratthalu over?
-Get on with it.

Hey.

We shouldn't act out of impatience
and hurt Basava.

If not, all the people
will side with Doraswamy.

Mainly, Guru...

-Where's Guru?
-He stormed off in rage a while ago.

Useless morons!

Brother-in-law Soori didn't even bother
to call after going to Dubai.

Yeah, true.

Maybe everyone
who goes there learns this habit.

True, nephew.

[Engine starts]

I wonder when he will be back.

[Ambulance siren wails]

Hey! Where is everyone?

-How is he, doctor?
-The patient sustained severe injuries.

He's under observation for now.
We can't say anything further.

Hope for the best.

[Thunder rumble]

You think you're some great leader?

They'll stoop to any low
to get what they want.

Against people who'd slit throats,
raising your voice is sheer foolishness.

We share the same blood,

but did I ever ask you
to share my vengeance?

I was scared out of my mind
and ran away to live a peaceful life.

Why are you holding on to my revenge?

Have you lost your mind?

Yeah.

He lost his mind.

We've survived all these years

despite being spat on
and treated horribly.

But...

When they took our lives,
he couldn't bear it.

When they killed his father...

instead of sharing his pain,

he endured it all by himself.

They killed Dad?

What exactly happened?

Tell me!

Tell me, man!

[Inaudible]

Hey! Stop, stop!

Who are you all?
Please, stop!

Hey, Prasad, it's you?
What happened?

Who are these people?
What have you done?

Uncle, they're forcing me
to sell my farmland.

Since I refused, they're here to kill me.

To hell with the land. Just sell it!

They'll pay you some money.
You'd risk your life for that?

That's what
I've been saying this whole time!

-But he doesn't listen.
-I'll talk to him, sir.

Listen to me. Just sell it!

It's the only reminder
I have of my mother, Uncle.

Sir, his mother.

He's at it again!

Hey, Prasad!
Sir!

Hey, Prasad...

Please, sir! Prasad!

Hey Pras-- Oh no!

Prasad!

Prasad? Hey!

-Every route the President takes should--
-[Cell phone rings]

Just a moment.

-Let me go, sir.
-The work's done, brother-in-law.

But his uncle's here.
What do you want us to do?

Don't call me for such petty things.

We can't risk anything
during the elections.

Finish him too
and get rid of the evidence.

Whatever happens,

you'd better reach Vanapuram
with the land papers.

-I beg you!
-Got it.

He might die. Please spare him!

Please let him go!
Listen to me.

-Sir, sir.
-He told me to finish him.

Sorry, Uncle.

It's done.

-Do you have any sense?
-[Cell phone rings]

Who asks for a bike
in the middle of the road?

Hello, hello!

Yeah, Dad. Did you get there safely?

-Hello, can you hear me?
-Son.

No, they stabbed me.

-They stabbed you?
-Son!

What are you talking about?
Where are you?

-Son, son.
-Hello.

-Don't...
-Hello.

-Hello? Dad?
-Don't pick a fight...

Hello.

Can you hear me? Hello!

Dad!

Dad!

Not this one.

Not this one.

Not this one.

Not this one.

Hey, that shirt looks great on you!

That's what my taste looks like.

I really like it! I'll wear this
to Dubai tomorrow.

Rock it!

[Laughs]

Where do you think you're going?

He wants everything burned,
including the auto driver.

Raghu.

My dear.

Raghu!

[Crying]

"He sent you out to play"

-D-Dad.
-"But he won't return again now"

Dad.

"He guided your first
Steps and set you free"

"Will he ever return to me?"

"If I speak now
Will you listen to me at all?"

"Will this game ever stop?"

"Will this game ever stop?"

[Music]

-My dear Suribabu.
-Yeah, tell me.

You're growing quite stubborn.

-Oh, really?
-Why did you keep this burger wrapper?

Listen. It's the first gift
you've ever given me.

Of course I'm treasuring it.

Brother-in-law...
what's happened?

[Music]

He stood up to Deva

so no one else would ever
go through what your father did.

If the authorities
won't question what's wrong,

and the police
meant to deliver justice make mistakes,

how are people like us supposed to live?

We end up paying for their mistakes.

Our fortune becomes
the price of their greed.

Our votes fuel their hunger for power.

You expect us to live like this, Surya?

It's not a revolt.
He's waging a full-on war.

If he loses, our spirit burns brighter.

If he wins, it rewrites our history.

I told you to wait
until the elections, didn't I?

What elections now!

The whole thing's gone one-sided.

People have turned us
into a laughingstock!

[Chuckles]

Don't you think I know how to turn
the tables on them?

Distribute the cash tonight.

After they take this money,
they will make us leaders.

They'll make clowns of themselves.

[Music]

-Brother.
-What is it?

Have you distributed all the money?

We distributed everything, brother.

Very nice.

Alright. Everyone,
be at the polling booth tomorrow morning.

Yes, brother.

Hello?

I'll call back.
Hang up now.

[Brakes squeal]

Why is he here?

Hey!

You seem pretty confident
you'll win the election.

Do you think rallies and
cheers bring votes?

You fool!

If that were the case, our country
would have changed long ago.

Here, people vote for whoever pays more,
not for good speeches.

It's over.

My men distributed all the money.

No one can stop me now!

I'm the one who'll win this election!

That's true, Deva.

People will vote for the ones
who gave them money.

You gave the money.

The money is yours.

Your men distributed it.

You're the one
who's going to win tomorrow.

You really think so?!

Let's go back a bit.

You gave the money.

The money is yours.

But the ones
who distributed it are my men.

What?!

We're the ones
who are going to win tomorrow.

-Who are you voting for?
-Who else, sir? For Deva.

Hey! I'll kill you!

Vote only for our Basava.

-Yes, sir.
-Yes.

Vote only for Basava.

Vote only for Basava.

We'll vote for Basava.

Vote only for our Basava.

-Vote only for Basava.
-We'll vote for Basava.

Did you think I joined your office
just to serve tea and coffee?

No!

[Inaudible]

What is this, Deva sir? This is horrible.

They all ganged up and crushed you.

They're total crooks, sir.

That hit hard, didn't it?

Hey!

You ruined everything!

Just like I killed your father,
I wanted to kill your family and him.

But they're innocent!
You're the one who caused this.

Only you should feel that pain.

That's why...

I planned to kill them after
you woke up.

I think Guru has already--

-Hey.
-Yes, he's there.

Looks like he's there.

Yes. I'm in the hospital.

They've arrived, brother.

Your people are going
straight from the hospital...

to the grave.

Hey, open the gate!

Hey, guys!
Break it down!

After that, I will kill this wretch
right in front of your eyes.

Before tomorrow's polling even starts,

I'll tell our gullible people that Basava

took his own life
because he was afraid he'd lose!

Then they're left with only one option.

Deva!

I'll secure the votes
and win the election.

Then it'll hit you,

Why did I mess with Deva?

I lost my family
and my life because of it.

As you descend deeper
into that hellish suffering...

Then...

Only then will I kill you, you dunce!

Oh damn!

[Claps]

[Whistles]

What a plan!

What a vision!

Your people must have gone crazy.

[Laughs]

I designed your entire life
according to my plan.

Don't you think I know
how to protect my own family?

I have people inside the department, too.

Hey, who the hell are you?!

Damn this life!

Are your eyes on vacation?

How can you ask that
when I'm in uniform? I'm the police!

Special Officer on Election Duty.

Hey, we have bought many
police officers like you.

We've eliminated many others.

The police you got rid of
may have been weak.

The police you bought
may have been corrupt.

[In Hindi] I am different.

'Do you know what everyone
in the department calls me?'

'Lion! Mighty Lion!'

That's a dialogue
from Mahesh Babu's film Dookudu.

Are you a review writer or something?

You're ignoring the content and
talking about copyrights!

Why are you hitting him like that, sir?

Come on. Let's sit
and have a friendly chat.

Hey! Hey!

Friendship. What friendship?

What friendship is there
between you and me?

This is Padayatra.
A police officer's Padayatra.

Brother, it's not Padayatra.
It's Dandayatra.

That's a dialogue from Temper, isn't it?

Won't you change? Won't you?

Won't you change? Won't you?!

-Dude, that's a dialogue from Mirchi.
-No, it's from Chatrapati.

Do you seem them
as people or as animals?

Why are you hitting them like that?

You might've seen
a lion in pictures, in films, on TV,

maybe even in a cage.

But have you seen it stride magnificently
through the forest?

Have you seen it shake its mane
and hunt fiercely on its own?

My punch hits with
a ton and a half, you dumbass!

Do you want to see?

Do you want to see?!

Do you want to see?!

Brother, why did he hit him?

Hey, go finish him off!

Hey...

Oh dear!

[Groans]

Brother!

Brother! You ate something just now.
What was it?

Oh that?

I bought a cigarette, and since the pan
shop guy had no change,

he gave me an orange candy.

It was poking me from my pocket
during the fight. So I just ate it.

Why are you still talking?
Want two more blows?

No, brother!

Your Raghu is safe.
He's the one who sent me.

Brother, move fast.

Hey!

Hey! First, finish off that Basava!

Hey!

Brother, let's go!

Brother, quick!

Brother, come. Come on!

Damn it!

Brother, let's go.

Brother?

Brother!

Brother Basava!

Brother!

Brother!

Brother Basava!

Brother!

How can I go up against Deva?

It's for their future.

To have a future,
shouldn't we stay alive first?

Brother!

Brother!

Hey!

Hey! Why did the lights go off?

What the hell are you all doing?
Go check!

[Groans]

Where did Basava go?

Hey! He is running away, catch him!

Hey!

Come on. Hurry up, brother.

Hey!

Come on!

Hold on.

What will you do now?

"O mighty warrior
Charge forth without fear"

"Let the world crash down
We're ready for it!"

Oh my!

Hey!

What's wrong?

"O mighty warrior!"

"Charge forth without fear"

"Let the world crash down"

"Let all the blood spill
In the fiery fight"

It's called ethanol.

Highly inflammable.

[Narrator] 'Not only in this yuga...'

'In any yuga...'

'If trial comes upon this army...'

'Their commander pledged,
"I will stand behind you and lead."'

"With a flaming tail, a thunderous roar
Our fiery Vanara stormed into battle"

"With trees wrenched loose
And towers torn apart"

"He reduced it all to ruin
O mighty Vanara!"

"With a flaming tail, a thunderous roar
Our fiery Vanara stormed into battle"

"With trees wrenched loose
And towers torn apart"

"He reduced it all to ruin
O mighty Vanara!"

"Here, there, everywhere He raced
Our Vanara stormed through the place"

"Look all around
Through groves and fields"

"The Vanara moving
With the speed of the wind"

[Music]

"The Vana Veera moving
They've seen the truth"

"Now they see the light!"

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

"With a flaming tail, a thunderous roar
Our fiery Vanara stormed into battle"

"With trees wrenched loose
And towers torn apart"

"He reduced it all to ruin
O mighty Vanara!"

"The Vana Veera moving"

"Here, there, everywhere He raced
Our Vanara stormed through the place"

"Look all around
Through groves and fields"

"The Vanara moving
With the speed of the wind"

Hey!

Kill me, man. Kill me!

I'd rather die than lose
to lowlifes like you.

Kill me!

Hey.

If I wanted you dead,

I'd have torn you apart
the day you killed my father.

If I kill you now,

your caste and your followers
will crown you as their leader.

A hundred more caste-obsessed fanatics
like you will rise.

We moved from 2G to 5G.

We evolved
from steam engines to bullet trains.

We even reached Mars.

Yet because of people like you,

many villages remain
miles away from progress.

Therefore, brother!

From now on, your life should stand
as an example for people like you.

Alright. I'll be going now.

Take care, brother.

Come on, brother.
We should leave now.

Ugh!

What, brother?

Looks like you were stabbed pretty badly.

I wasn't even sad that he stabbed me, man.

It hurt more that you just

-sat there chatting with him.
-Huh?

Stop staring and take me to the hospital!

[Narrator] 'Soon after, Basava won
as MLA from Vanapuram.'

'Deva was sent to prison for his crimes.'

'Raghu now works at a big company,
just as his father wished.'

'Devotion, dharma, wisdom, and loyalty are
the innate qualities of the Vana Veeras.'

'Anyone who walks their path,'

'faces the Ravanas of society,'

'and stands with the weak'

'is a true descendant of the Vana Veeras.'

'Everyone who stands for dharma
is a follower of Lord Rama.'

'They stand as
the successors of Lord Hanuman.'
