Hey!

I will raise my daughter like Queen Jhansi Lakshmi Bai.

Of course, then we have to get the king of Mysore as her bridegroom.

Dear, get Uncle some cool water.

-Brother, take it. -Okay!

Shanthi!

Don't eat this. You'll catch a cold.

You guys get off!

Dad, what about me?

Play with it.

-Shanthi. -Yes, Mom.

Come closer.

This looks so beautiful on you.

How many times have I told you not to tear books, idiot? Will you do it again?

Why do you always beat me? Why don't you beat sister?

-Why should I beat her? -Mom, ask Dad not to beat me.

-Dad. No, Dad, no. -Idiot, stupid.

Your situation is better.

They send their five-year-old son as an escort to the shop down the street.

That’s how it seems when you look from the opposite house.

Come to my house and see it from my perspective.

You’ll understand then.

Everything seems clear from afar.

Dear, dear, dear.

Get Uncle some cool water.

Brother-in-law.

Our focus should be on respecting the son-in-law,

entrusting our daughter to his care, and celebrating the wedding in a grand manner.

That's when she'll be under our control

and listen to us.

Come, dear.

-Isn't the water chilled? -No.

-Okay. Go out and play. -Okay, Uncle.

-Shanthi! Don't eat.You will catch a cold. -Push me more. Faster!

Why are you playing the games like boys?

Go and help Mom, go!

Brother-in-law need to be informed once, he is raising his daughter as a boy.

You guys get down.

Dad, I need a teddy bear.

Shanthi!

Brother's shirt looks so good on you.

Why do I get beaten all the time? Why don't you say anything to my sister?

Dad, Dad, don't beat me, Dad.

Why should I say anything to her?

-Mom, at least you tell him. -You know she needs your books next year.

-How can she study like this? -Dad, it's hurting Dad.

In the picture at home, my brother is the hero, and I am the sidekick.

Lastly, they didn’t even put any thought while naming me,

instead, they took my brother’s name and made a slight modified it,

and named me after that.

Is it?

Anyway, what's your brother's name?

[sings “Oo Antava Oo Oo Antava” song]

Stop with those dirty, double-meaning songs.

Will you stop that?

How many times should I tell you?

Cashew stains on the shirt won't come off easily.

The stains are good, Mom.

Shut up and start chopping onions for the curry.

♪ Most amazing is the birth of a female ♪

♪ The wholeness of that birth comes from the Onion ♪

Is this song okay, Mom?

♪ Singing heartfully ♪

♪ Or fry deep with oil ♪

♪ Adding taste to the curry ♪

Mom, pass me that pickle.

Only two days, Dad. All of my friends are going.

When our batch went on a trip, there were no girls.

Mom. At least you convince Dad.

I will get coffee powder from Araku.

Make an omelet for your brother that's enough.

With fewer onions.

Such trips are not that safe, Dad.

Hoodwinking the lecturers to booze.

Roaming around freely at night.

They'll do all kinds of naughty things.

Haven’t we been seeing it on the news?

The police recovered marijuana from a gang who went on one such trip.

Is that so?

If he's saying this, then it certainly must have been his gang.

Araku.

The green necklace that adorns the neck of nature.

Situated 910 meters above sea level,

it is popularly known as the “Ooty of Andhra."

The stunning Borra Caves,

the mesmerizing Chaprai Waterfalls,

and the rich aroma of coffee estates,

along with the vibrant tribal culture,

make this destination truly enchanting.

Wow, you have described it so well despite not coming to the trip.

All of you guys, clap for her.

January and February have passed,

this month is going well.

This month, I'll take the money from the chit.

Will enroll our daughter in Rajahmundry college.

That money we saved is for our daughter's marriage, isn't it?

Without informing me, you started a discussion about marriage?

You are treating me as a stranger.

Are you a calf for us to do that?

You are a part of our family.

-Get your brother a few hot dosas. -Okay.

No need, brother-in-law.

While I was at Seenu's Coffee Hotel,

I saw Somaraju with a Jackfruit.

Immediately,

I put a President Medal bottle in his pocket,

I got the Jackfruit for Shanthi.

You brought this at the right time.

Shanthi

got a free seat in Rajahmundry GIET College in Computer Engineering.

Our Shanthi!

-Free seat?! -Yes.

Government seat?!

Super, really awesome!

Why are you thinking so much? Just do it.

Brother-in-law.

If a girl does her higher studies and gets a job,

how proud we feel.

Moreover,

we are planning to get her married.

She will be handy to us.

Don't think much, just go for it.

What do you want me to do? Put dosa on the pan?

Only her seat is free.

Her one year’s bus fees would cover a three-year degree education here.

If she has to board the bus at 5 a. m. , Mom has to prepare her lunch by 4 a. m.

Dad will have to drop her off at the bus stop,

and I will have to pick her up later.

We both will have to become her drivers.

It’d be education for her and labor for us.

That's right.

If she becomes an engineer after her studies,

we have to find a groom who has studied more than her.

Not only that,

if her knowledge increases after her studies,

she might reject the groom we suggest and may not find one she likes either.

Brother-in-law.

Moreover, she scored good marks by studying from his books.

That's why,

enroll her in the same college where he's studying.

Nice bargain.

Also, you save money.

What do you say, son-in-law?

You are right, Uncle.

Dad,

I will do a part-time job in Rajahmundry and study by staying in a hostel.

My dad didn’t let me study, saying he couldn’t afford it.

You can roam around the streets with that on a signboard around your neck.

-I didn’t mean it that way. -Then how did you mean it?

As an elder of the family, I know what you want.

I want to do Computer Engineering from GIET college, Dad.

I have to make that decision.

I have to decide for myself.

-What did you say? -Shanthi.

In accounts, there are

three different accounts.

One Nominal,

two

and you, what's the matter?

Drawing rangoli.

Don’t you want to study?

Wouldn’t you like to be independent?

Girls.

You're the assets of the society.

Not a liability.

Hey!

Girls don't express their interests openly,

we have to figure out and respect them.

It's our responsibility.

You all should take a bold step forward.

Fight for your rights.

And achieve your goal with determination.

A girl's heart is like the river Godavari.

If you build a dam, it will help you in need.

But if you try to mess with it,

it will drown you.

Am I clear?

Yes, sir!

Am I clear?!

Yes, sir!

Did you say, you like me?

Ms. Kondaveeti Prashanthi,

I am asking you.

Are you in love with me?

Sireesha! Sireesha!

Sireesha!

Stop!

What happened?

When Sir asked me directly, I didn't know what to say.

Not sure how sir understood your run.

Before he has a change of heart,

you better express your feelings.

Shall we leave?

Yes.

Hello. Ms. Kondaveeti.

Are you clear?

Listen, dear, get down.

Who will marry you if you break a hand or leg?

I know someone who will marry me.

What did you say?

Why is your phone busy at 11:58 p. m.?

May I know why?

I was wishing my friend Sireesha on her birthday.

Is it? Do you mean our Sireesha?

-Yes. -Convey my wishes as well.

Okay.

I've given you two marks extra.

-Are you happy? -Yes.

I heard Ms. Kondaveeti is performing a dance at our college anniversary.

What's the matter?

We are practicing a lot. I'm sure our performance is going to be the highlight.

Being a girl, why do you want to put on a show before everyone?

Make an excuse that you sprained your leg and drop out of the show.

Okay? Don't overthink.

Do you want to eat something?

These days, it looks like Ms. Kondaveeti's clothes just can't seem to stay on.

What's going on? Be conscious of your body.

You should be more vigilant about your sister and whom she’s meeting at college.

Do you think I am her bodyguard? To be vigilant about her.

You should safeguard the reputation of this family, not her.

Brother-in-law,

if a girl falls in love and neglects her studies, it means we should be prepared.

If we shouldn't fail in our upbringing,

the only solution is to get her married.

Listen, sister, who else can be a better bodyguard than a husband?

-I want to study further. -I'll break your teeth.

Don’t you know not to interrupt when elders are speaking?

What good is your education when it doesn't teach manners?

Your mother is to be blamed for this, not you.

You didn't raise her well.

Shanthi, go inside.

Leave now!

I won't marry, Dad.

I will kill you if you speak again.

-Prakasam, -Yes, brother-in-law.

her marriage is your responsibility.

-Find a match for her immediately. -Okay, brother-in-law.

Sorry, this is Indrasena Reddy!

Indrasena Reddy

Naidu brother!

-Pull it more. -Careful!

-Seenu bro, pull it more. -Pull it more.

Brother, we got a better lot this time.

Wind up.

Let's start.

Slowly.

They'll get pressed.

-Brother, how much for the half quintal? -Ten.

That's alright, uncle, take one quintal home.

You can settle the amount later.

We have to see each other every day.

-Where will you and I go? -Give it.

-Okay, brother. -Take it.

15.

25.

Son-in-law,

I got a good match for you.

They're from our caste.

Sent you the photo.

Let me know how she is.

Mom,

I don't like this proposal.

I've got to complete my studies and get a good job.

You have hurt your father a lot.

Don't be selfish.

Think about your Dad and family.

Tell me how it tastes.

If everything works out, don’t worry. Forget the dowry. Just fix the marriage.

I’ve collected all the details about the boy.

No one can beat him in looks and wealth in the surroundings.

I said it in anger.

Do you think I'm rushing things unnecessarily?

If you delay it, are you sure we’ll find a match like this later?

As her uncle, don't you think I have a responsibility for her marriage?

We must give our daughter wings,

but we should make sure she flies only over our roof.

We found this match because of my sister’s prayers.

All the credit goes to my sister.

Just fix it!

Going by the rules,

your wedding should be held in the same hall where I got married.

-What do you say? -I'll break your jawbone.

Even before the guests had their dinner, the husband and wife started to quarrel.

Stop it.

Do you mean everyone who gets married there would quarrel the same way?

Going by the rules,

divorce is the freedom we give each other.

Not everyone can get it.

Will you stop it, Uncle?

You and your nonsense.

Welcome!

-Greetings! How was the journey? -The journey was good, but,

-for our roads. -Wash your feet here.

I know a masseur.

-Shall I call them? -Prakasam, pass that water.

Here, please take it.

-Nephew! Bring the towel. The new one. -Okay, Uncle.

Prakasam.

-Coming. -Give it to him.

Here, take this.

-Come on, let’s go. -Here, take this mom.

Why don't you sweeten your mouth by sipping some sugar water first?

Before this match, my brother-in-law kept pushing me to prefer matrimony.

But is there a better matrimony than the maternal uncle?

So be it.

Not that he's my nephew,

but my boy looks like a Korameenu fish. But his heart is like a Vanjaram.

Very tasty. As for his character?

-As golden as a Bangaru Teega! -Do you really need to mention that?

We can see that. The way he carries himself.

Such a RIP!

I mean Rich in Personality.

-Uncle. -Yes.

-RIP means Rest in Peace. -So be it.

"Peace" means Shanthi.

He’ll get some rest if he marries our Shanthi.

-Well said, RIP is RIP. -Exactly.

-There is a small issue. -Oh! Please do tell us.

Our girl wishes to complete her degree.

If we go by the rules,

he stopped his education after 10th grade when my brother-in-law passed away.

But he remains a lifelong learner.

It's her education, and it's her wish.

We will enroll her in our town's college.

Glad to know that.

Dear Shanthi,

bring some coffee.

Go and help her.

Serve them.

Instant coffee, is it?

My son's nature can adjust to instant or filter Coffee.

It is true.

How about the other things?

What about dowry and the rest?

Please let us know what your expectations are.

-He has lots of… -Uncle, you please shut your…

We don't need dowry.

Your girl's coming to our house. Bringing brightness is more than we can expect.

What are the rates like in your village's fish market?

How will girls know about the outside world?

No man in the markets around Dhavaleshwaram,

can match our rate or quality, you know!

It would’ve been nice if your husband had also come.

With a job at an American site, he might not even be able to attend the wedding.

What kind of work does your husband do at the factory?

He works as a supervisor in the fish feed manufacturing factory.

A supervisor's family is getting a fish farm owner as a son-in-law.

Do fish vendors come around your streets?

They always manage to sell you stale fish.

we should check the gills of the fish to find out if they are fresh or not.

What was the last movie you watched?

Movie… Waltair Veerayya.

There's this line at the interval.

He is my bait, and you are my shark!

Speaking of sharks, do you eat sea fish?

They're fresh!

Fish from our pond are also very fresh.

"Fish" means both health and wealth for us.

Nephew!

Are you planning to whisk her away?

-We'll call you with an auspicious date. -See you.

-Okay. -Okay.

-Bye, sister-in-law. -Please be careful, Uncle.

-Have a safe journey. -We’ll be on our way, then.

We’ll take your leave now.

I asked you to handle work for two days and you're not even able to handle it.

Actually, bro…

Why do you even come to work daily with those dirty faces?

If Ramana comes for the stock, call me. Okay!

-Okay, brother. -Hold the line.

I don't like the smell of the flowers, put on another bedsheet.

-Hello, yes, tell me. -Yes, brother.

Actually,

by the time Ramana arrives, It'd be late.

Calling you at that time…

I’m asking you to do it. Why are you hesitating?

-Okay, I'll call you brother. -I will be awake by then, so call me.

I don't like plain milk.

This region has a lot of humidity.

But opening windows now wouldn’t be a good idea.

I told you that I don't like it.

You have it.

Don't waste it.

I need some time.

Open the windows and sleep.

If we go by the rule,

we should have the control.

Then, the wife will come to us automatically.

-That's why, wait patiently. -Get inside.

-Don't force her. -Seenu, get them down slowly.

The tent house people will come in the evening.

Call a cab for tomorrow.

[singing local song]

Remember.

You should safeguard our family's prestige in that house.

-Offer your prayer to the Tulsi tree. -Okay.

-Shanthi. -Yes.

Your favorite cashew fruit!

Stain is good.

Why are you looking at me like that?

Should I marry you off as well? Go away!

Mom! Grandpa says he wants to marry me off.

Little one.

The light of our house is going to their house now.

You walked around holding my finger.

Now, she’s leaving us after getting married.

I hope you won't forget your uncle.

Little one.

Please remember what I’m about to say,

and keep it close to your heart.

For a family to stay happy,

the man should be respected, and the woman should stay humble.

Did you get it?

Let's go.

Watch your steps.

Get your parents’ blessings.

-Get blessings from your uncle. -No need.

Little one.

Take care of our little one.

Control yourself, please.

Let me get that.

Little one.

Dear, our loved one is leaving all of us.

Control yourself.

Control yourself, brother.

Our beloved one.

Dear!

-Take care, dear. -Be careful, dear.

Hello, Uncle.

We just reached home.

Why didn't you come?

-Sister-in-law, did you like the house? -Yes.

Is there a prayer at the house? Everyone woke up so early.

It's our daily prayer, sister-in-law.

It's a daily routine. He'll have an early breakfast by 4 a. m. and leave for work.

-Don't you have a grinder at home? -He eats hand-ground things.

His habits are just like your father-in-law's.

Enough!

Why are you up so early? You could have slept some more.

That's alright.

-Shall I do this? -Okay.

-Yesterday, too, you prepared idly. -Didn’t I tell you, sister-in-law?

Every day,it's the same routine.

Once he likes something, he sticks to it.

He is innocent, and all his habits are like my husband's.

Here, let me serve it.

Good night, sister-in-law. Sorry, good morning, sister-in-law.

Shanthi, why are you doing all this?

We could have done them?

It's our work, Mother-in-law.

You saw enough.

Go freshen up first.

Daughter-in-law cleaned the house.

Mom, I thought he would get angry but he went out calmly.

He must have drunk ‘Artos’.

I've been asking him for money. But he wouldn't budge.

-When will your husband come from America? -Not America. Akiveedu.

In the early days of my marriage,

he used to say I was cute and beautiful.

But as days passed,

he started calling me names and body shame me.

That’s not right, is it, sister-in-law?

Did your brother not talk to them?

I myself lost interest.

-Greetings, Mr Naidu. -Hey!

Whether you sell it or throw it back into the river, why should I care?

-You need to pay for the goods, right? -I'll repay.

Am I supposed to leave work and chase you for money?

Give it!

Please keep this for now. I'll pay the remaining by morning.

Count this.

I’m not sure what magic you've done, but my brother's anger reduced considerably.

This way, the rice will be cooked perfectly for Pongal,

just the way we like it, tasty and with a nice color.

He won't eat all these, dear.

It’s called pongal, mother-in-law. Chennai special!

It tastes like heaven!

She woke up early in the morning to prepare this for you.

-It's Chennai special. The name is… -Pongal.

It will be tasty when you have it along with sambar.

-Sambar? -Shall I serve some?

She worked hard for it. Try it once.

It tastes like heaven!

Hey, Karuna. Since childhood,

this is the first time he tried something different for breakfast.

Right? I felt the same.

Ever since sister-in-law arrived, Omkaram has become much calmer.

Yeah, great!

Hey, did you at least brush your teeth?

We'll shoot a reel with this new dress, sister-in-law.

-Will serve in two minutes. -How come you're early?

That's Sambar.

Pickle is in here. I will get fryums.

Bro. How's this dress?

Just like your sister-in-law's face.

That means you like it.

Thank god! I was afraid you wouldn't like it.

Thanks, sister-in-law.

Dear!

-What's this? -I got it for you.

I don't wear shirts without collars and buttons.

What are you looking at? Go now. Serve me dinner.

Okay.

Namaste, Mr.Naidu!

What's up, Mr. Krishna? What brings you here?

I'm here to talk to you about the pond.

It's right beside yours. Add it to yours, it will benefit you.

In Kolkata, they refer to fish as "flowers in water."

Please don't place your flowers in my ear.

-How are you, sister-in-law? -I'm doing well.

It's not like that, Mr. Naidu. I'm in need of money now.

Pay something in advance and you can pay the rest after harvest.

Mr. Krishna, please don't get me involved in these petty deals.

I have many things to do.

-You can leave now. -Brother! Sis-in-law has come.

I'm leaving now.

The sweet is very good, sister-in-law.

I'll ask my wife to call you. Can you teach her how to prepare it?

-Sure. -Hey!

Are you going to work or slack off the entire day?

Brother!

You never mentioned your wife's delicious culinary skills.

Is it so?

From tomorrow, I'll bring your meals from home and deliver them to you.

Okay?

Could you please check the fan set near Korrameenu Pond?

Okay, brother.

Go. Just go now. Useless banter!

Hey!

Call electrician Satya and tell him to come quickly.

Okay.

Next time, don't come here without informing me.

They said the college is nearby…

Are you free now?

We've still got time for that, don't we?

We'll figure that out later. You'd better go home.

He couldn't control himself as he remembered his father.

Poor fellow.

He is sensitive, just like his father.

I wonder how he'll even survive.

It's Rayalaseema's special dish called uggani.

It tastes better, along with bajji.

Just prepare what I like,

not what you feel like.

Understood?

I will prepare only those items which you like from now on.

Why are you upset with petty things?

I don't need your bloody suggestions. Did you get it?

Brother!

-Have you lost it? -Shut up!

I was keeping calm and you took me for a fool?

And you! Look at me!

If you want to make changes in the house,

or prepare something to eat, take my permission.

Do you understand?

If you make stupid decisions with your silly head…

Move.

Nothing happened between you two yet. Why did you slap her already?

She behaves however she pleases! You really think I’ll stay quiet?

A man's mustache isn’t just a twirling sign of masculinity.

It’s for tickling a woman’s cheek and soothing her when she's upset.

-Nonsense! -Hey! Hey, Omkar.

Shanthi,

PraShanthi. Om Shanthi.

Don't light a furnace in the house unnecessarily.

I’m speaking from experience.

Take your girl to a movie or go on a romantic walk.

Everything will be alright then.

Have a bite.

It’s very sweet.

That's why your wife left you.

I can never change this guy.

Don't brood over what happened, dear.

I’ve never seen him behaving this way.

What are you saying?

Didn't we get a new TV after he broke it just before the wedding?

He must have had a dispute at work,

and taken his anger out on you.

Poor fellow.

He can't hide anything.

He is just an innocent guy.

How do I convey this to her?

Sha--

Shan--

Shanthi.

Shanthi.

I hit you out of anger.

I'm sorry.

Okay. Get ready. We are going to watch a movie. Hurry up.

I’ve arranged for the tickets.

Saree.

Wear a saree and make it quick okay?

Mom.

We are going to a movie.

His antics are way beyond my imagination, Mother.

What's your order, Sir?

Shanthi, what would you like to have?

Whatever you prefer to have.

I feel like you’re still mad at me.

Please let me know what you would like to have.

-Gongura mutton and white rice. -Okay, madam.

Shanthi, we have the Godavari river nearby.

We get fresh fish from there.

You, too, order fish curry.

Brother.

-Have this. -Enough.

Have it.

Listen, Shanthi.

I won't repeat what happened today.

I promise.

I'll never raise my hand at you.

okay?

Don’t you know how to wash clothes?

Uncle. Two plates of white rice and fish curry.

Thank you, sir.

Thought that he'd come back to me after leaving the house.

It's been a year.

Stubbornness was born first and these men next, sister-in-law.

Is it?

I'll talk to mom and dad and let you know.

How many times do I…?

♪ Is crossing that threshold Making you feel all alone? ♪

-Do you know about this? -What?

This is the season, dear.

I’m busy at the factory.

Shall I send your uncle to talk to son-in-law?

Not required. Dad.

I will speak with him directly.

Hey, you,

why are you bantering around?

Mind your work. Stop bantering around.

Shanthi!

True love exists only where there’s liberty to slap.

They showed this in some movie recently.

Mom, do you realize what you're saying?

Have you lost your mind?

I said that man hit me!

Hey!

Don’t you talk disrespectfully about your husband.

Once you are married, you are his wife first,

only then my daughter.

Show!

-Idly… -That's enough.

Sister. I've put the jackfruit inside.

Brother-in-law, when will you start thinking wisely?

Have you lost the sense of where to spend and where to save?

Why are you feeding son-in-law this food?

Would anyone eat this?

I will order fresh lamb meat from Mustafa's meat shop.

When your mother-in-law prepares the dish, the aroma spreads across the Godavari.

I can prepare a wonderful fish curry.

Order some Pulasa fish.

This is a costly affair.

We will fix this menu.

What do you say, son-in-law?

Shanthi.

Shanthi.

Hey!

When did you come? I didn't notice

If you're glued to your phone, why would you see me?

Where are Mom and Laddu?

They went out sometime back.

So, you don't know where they went?

You’re always on your phone lately.

I should break your phone first.

Let go.

Let go!

I said, leave the phone.

You…

Come. I'll serve lunch.

What happened?

How did you get hurt?

While putting on the seat belt.

I pulled the seatbelt too hard. It got stuck.

Why do you have a stiff neck?

Someone overtook me from the left. When I turned to see, I strained my neck.

In that case, your neck should have turned to the left, right?

Why is it turned to the right?

Whatever the side.

It's my neck, and it's my wish.

I need medicine for that. Make it fast.

Sir,

you have internal bleeding.

We can't give any medicine for that. Please visit a hospital.

I will try elsewhere.

Get lost.

Hey, Chiranjeevi!

Please be careful with your seat belt next time.

It's like a Karate belt shot.

-Son-in-law. -Yes.

I saw the picture. It's a small injury.

-Don't worry. -It's not a small injury.

I feel like my bones were crushed.

There may be internal bleeding.

Going by the rules,

it's better to use a hot water bag for treatment.

Get your mom to do it for you.

I will meet you once I am back.

Okay? Bye for now.

His bloody rules.

Hey! Get lost

[local folk song playing]

Pour me a drink.

Hey, stop those songs.

Hey, stop those songs.

Bloody songs.

You sound low. Did you fight at home?

It's common in marital life.

Have a drink.

Brother, hurt badly?

How do you know?

It's visible clearly.

What do you know?

It’s your first time, isn’t it?

You’re feeling bad for beating your wife.

This is just the beginning.

Later, you’ll get used to it with time.

Like liquor,

this is also an addiction.

You'll understand the real kick only when the wife fights back.

Stop it, guys.

Brother is leaving because of you.

Brother.

Please say sorry to sister-in-law.

Sister-in-law is very sensitive.

She will forgive you.

Ask him to fall at her feet.

You fool!

Brother, I swear on this peg,

you are not a man if you back off.

Take her to a movie or a romantic walk, that is more than enough.

They will not listen to you if you do more than what I said.

Hey guys, why don't you say something?

Mom, check out this video!

What happened to him?

Brother!

Why did you break the aquarium?

It's mine. I'll do whatever I please.

Don't speak much.

What's happening in this house?

What happened?

Lucky that your wife is not hurt.

If anything had happened to her, who would face her parents?

She is my wife, and it's my wish.

I can take care of her.

Why did you stop there, dear?

Don't be afraid. Come in, dear.

Going by the rules,

you hit her, and she hit you back. You are even now.

Don't drag this issue any further.

It’s best to stay calm to stay happy.

I can't stay calm, Uncle.

Alpha males can't keep quiet.

-Whose that "Ulfa" male here? -It's not "Ulfa," it's Alpha.

It's me.

Bullshit!

You covered the wound nicely.

If she had broken your leg, you'd have lost respect in the village.

I will make her bow her head down.

I’ll set her straight. I’ll prove it to you,

what I really am.

Hey. Uncle's words are like a sack of pearls.

Please listen to me.

Revenge doesn’t suit us Godavari people the way sarcasm does.

I swear on my twirled mustache, uncle.

If my punch doesn't resound in her house,

I'm not Ambati Omkar Naidu.

I'm a shark, and she's my bait.

Remember.

I don’t know what they’re thinking.

I wasted my cinematic advice on him.

He is behaving more like a character artist rather than a hero.

Hey, be careful.

Okay. Hang up the phone.

You haven’t even had yours yet,

and what if she lands a hit where she shouldn’t?

Why don't you let it go?

Is it a fish to let it go?

She's feeling over the cloud just by learning from online classes.

Wait and watch.

I'll scrub her like a fish.

I'll wait.

Peace. Mental peace. Prashanti!

How yummy to have idli with coconut chutney!

Idli!

Focus.

Naidu.

Focus on the breathing.

I'll kick.

-How many times do I have to repay? -You were so polite before!

Don't interfere! Move!

You should step in. Consider it a net practice session.

Practice is for amateurs.

We are legends.

Nonsense.

How dare you hit me? Come on. Bring it on.

They're getting along really well.

Are you sure?

I swear on their cot.

Why did you come? Where are Mom and Laddu?

They went to a function.

Of course, you'd be more interested in fighting, than functions!

Uncle,

today, I will prove what your nephew can do.

Shanthi!

Can you come here once?

Hey! Shorty!

I am calling you.

Come closer.

Closer.

What?

What?

-What? -What?

I would've crushed you the day you dared to lift your leg.

I spared you because you are a girl.

Hey!

What's this?

You hardly seem to care about what I am saying.

See this hand?

Just one blow and you'll land home without a ticket.

Got it?

As if I'll stay calm and let you do that.

Is it? Hit me now, then.

Hit me now!

If you have the guts, hit me!

Are you drunk? Don't bother me. Play elsewhere.

-Hey! -Oh god.

The war trumpet blares in the distance!

Kondaveeti's nemali (a local cock breed) is being provoked,

by Ambati's dega (a local cock breed).

It’s turning into a full-blown Ukraine war!

Place your bets, if you've got the guts!

Come.

With its delicate hands and sharp gaze

Every strike dega throws, nemali dodges like a pro!

Oh gosh!

That kick has him flat on his back!

Boys! Are you watching?

She’s cooking for the family with one hand

and bashing her arrogant husband with the other.

The panting dega grabs plates to defend himself!

It's an outward-facing wrist attack!

"Ayyoooo! This isn’t an ordinary nemali…

This is Karate Nemali! Karate Bruce Lee!

Oh no! Oh no! Oh no no no no no!

Why is he hiding behind the curtain like an old movie heroine?

[WHAM!]

And there it is—one powerful slap from our very own Vijaya Shanthi!

Come further forward.

Dega’s back is wrecked…

He can't seem to get up.

BAM! Dega finally lands a hit!

Come on.

What is this?

Dega has become a snake!

It’s a snake. Hissing!

BAM!

Dega finally lands a hit!

She tossed him like he's nothing! Dining table is destroyed!

Even after all that beating, his determination hasn't gone down!

Dega is back in the ring!

Ah… Dega’s signature move the kick with the butt!

That slow-motion walk of nemali… whoa!

Nemali has got dega by the ears!

Handle with care nemali!

We're requesting care but she hit him with a careless ease!

Oh my God! Just miss!

Or his jaw would've turned sideways!

Wow! What a pair!

How did the Director even plan a fight between them?

Isn't it too sarcastic?

This Panipat war turned into a leg-holding battle!

Editor sir, please… cut this nonsense out!

Hold on… First, he was catching her legs…

Now, what’s this?? He’s hugging her??

Whatever. The director knows what clicks with the audience.

They even broke the TV they bought on sale.

Dega sir!

Slowly, slowly.

What? Is your head spinning?

Is this enough to prove that I can beat you?

Is Bramaramba sister home?

I'll come back in the evening.

-I'll come back in the evening,sister. -What makes her so shy?

Who knows what came to her mind?

Mom?

♪Gibberish song ♪

What happened?

What's happening?

Hey! Nothing…

-No big injuries. -Be happy he isn't dead.

I don't even remember the last time I hit him.

Who the hell is she to hit him?

I wanted a decent girl for this house, not a fighter.

He's the one who started this.

So what?

How can she hit him?

Husbands do it everywhere.

Did your husband never hit you?

-What my daughter did is wrong… -I didn't do anything wrong, Mom.

When I got hit, why did everyone stay quiet?

When I returned the beatings, everyone is being judgmental.

Shanthi, will you keep quiet?

What my sister did is wrong.

We accept that.

But that doesn't give brother-in-law the right to hit her.

Why are you quiet like a statue?

While everyone else scolds my son, you remain calm and quiet.

You're a respected man here, right? Speak up!

If we go by the rule,

I advised him long ago. But he didn't listen to me, sister.

He was showing off like an ulpha male, that he could outsmart her.

-It's alpha male, Uncle. -Whatever! Just shut up now.

Shanthi, what's all this, dear?

If the villagers find out, what about this family's reputation?

Oh! If a man beats up a woman, will he be honored in public?

Look at the way she speaks.

No sign of repentance in her eyes.

Sister, will you let me speak or will you keep shouting like this?

Don't drag this issue out to the world.

Look, Shanthi.

If he beats you due to some stress, it's not out of anger.

Please try to understand.

Oh, is it so?

He beat me 26 times in six months. Imagine in a year!

52 times. So, for ten years?

520 times.

So, for forty years?

For 40 years…

-This calculator… -It's 20,800 times.

Damn! The calculation is right, sister.

-It's correct. -What's correct?

Your brother-in-law used to hit me a lot.

I kept quiet.

He hit her once, and she started to keep count.

-And you're supporting her. -Sister, please wait.

As someone who’s been beaten more, losing your patience isn’t good.

Shanthi.

An eye for an eye is not a solution.

Hitting a fellow human being is wrong.

My guy is ready to say sorry.

We will wind up this issue if you also say sorry.

What do you say?

What do you say?

What do you say?

Nephew, apologize to her.

Say sorry.

Say it now.

Say it.

Please say it with a smile.

Sorry, Shanthi.

I troubled you a lot.

-I will not hit you again. -You won't be able to now.

-I won't hit you either. -My guy is safe now.

Ouch! Uncle…

Dear Shanthi, if you also say sorry, we can end this here.

Sister!

I can see repentance in her eyes.

It's as good as her apologizing.

She said sorry. So, it's over now.

What is this, sister?

How can you keep our guests standing?

What's this? Tell me.

Oh no! I forgot to ask in all this commotion.

Would you like some coffee?

We don't want to trouble you.

It's a pleasure to do that for our people.

-Please come. -Come. Don't mind my sister.

Screw the apology.

Have you lost it, Uncle? How can you ask me to apologize to her?

We won't get along anymore.

It's good to apologize.

If you leave this just like that,

our folks will think you're an incapable person because you got beaten.

So, you want me to hold her legs and ask for mercy?

Not mercy,

you need planning.

Have a better plan this time.

Have a family plan.

Are you nuts, Uncle? Family plan?

Do you even know what you're saying?

I've been observing you since you arrived. You're supporting her.

-Just listen. -Okay. Tell me.

If you want to prove you're better, then you better get her pregnant.

If you have kids at home, they will become her world.

In this matter, you went for something good and

got something even better unexpectedly.

After delivery,

women become weak. Their fitness levels fall.

She won't fight back, even if you hit her.

She won't go wild like this.

Just follow my advice and don't be afraid.

I am not afraid. There is no fear in me.

This time, I'll get fully trained. I will prove myself then.

Whatever you want to prove, prove it in the bed.

Remember this. What can't be won with war can be won with love.

Uncle's words are…

Like a sack of pearls.

Yes!

Shanthi,

if we keep quarreling like this,

it gives everyone a reason to come here

and make the situation worse.

I can imagine how bad you would've felt. I'm sorry.

Once you're husband and wife, there will be a hundred thousand issues.

It's up to us to patch things up.

Look.

Let's forget what happened

and start a new chapter from tomorrow. What do you say?

All I need is your happiness.

Good night.

Hey!

I don't need boiled eggs from tomorrow, okay.

Okay. Good night.

She hit me hard!

Shanthi.

Good morning.

Get ready quickly. We're going out.

Not for a movie. We're going to college.

We'll stop by the temple, then head to college.

Get ready, quickly!

Greetings, Mr. Naidu.

Hi, Mr. Krishna! How are you?

So, what happened with the thing I brought up the other day?

I already told you, didn’t I? I can’t do it.

Please think it over once!

I've got a lot of work.

-Pick someone else. Let me be! -Mr. Naidu, just hear me out!

Mr. Naidu!

Please come in. Have a seat.

-How did you hurt your head? -Err…

Um…

I had an accident.

Mr. Pulasa Rama Rao spoke about you.

Did he?

It would've been better if you'd come two months earlier.

We'd have admitted her under the convener quota.

-Ah, okay! -It's still all right.

The admissions will start again in two months.

We can enroll her then. Does that work?

-Okay. Thank you, sir. -Okay, sir?

Okay!

-Keep coming. Just watch it! -Come straight!

-Shanthi. -Careful!

-Watch the door. -Place it here.

Shanthi.

Will you serve them some tea?

-Place it in the corner. -Careful! Hey!

-Brother, allow me… -Carefully.

Thanks sister-in-law.

Sister-in-law…

will you share the recipe for the dessert?

I’ll get my wife on the line.

-Is the salt and spice to your taste? -It's good, brother!

Shanthi.

Remember the dessert you made for me that day?

Will you make that again?

Shanthi?

Looks like she's asleep.

All this sweet talk and buttering up isn't my thing, Uncle.

I'll just pounce on her in alpha-male style.

She'll kick you in alpha-female style.

As per the rules, you'll become useless!

He'll pounce on her, it seems!

Sir, the phone is ready.

It took me a long time because the motherboard is damaged.

Give it a quick look when you’re free.

Oh gosh! A kilo of toor dal.

A kilo of broken wheat.

Kerosene. Oh, man!

There's nothing but a grocery list in here.

Did you expect to see a prescription for my injuries?

Uncle!

We can’t even work this out talking to each other directly.

How will texting work?

Letters are more powerful than speech!

You see it again and again…

You read it again and again… It’s a whole different thing!

You won't get it anyway. There's a lot to do. Let's go!

Shall we take a jolly ride?

There's no pressure!

It's up to you.

Let me get ready.

Shanthi!

Churidar suits you better than a saree okay?

Grab my hand!

Shanthi.

Had you ever dreamt of seeing a fish pond up close?

Against common perception, this business isn't all that easy.

What should I do?

I guess I could sing a song.

Mother-in-law!

Tender lamb meat.

The aroma must spread across the Godavari.

Sure, son!

-Come in, son-in-law. -How are you, dear?

I'm good, Mom!

What do you say, Brother-in-law?

Is your team going to win this time?

[Kannada] The cup is ours this time. Royal Challengers Bangalore.

What about my team then?

It isn't going to be easy for the Mumbai Indians, Brother-in-law.

But why? We have Dhoni on our team.

The final could be between us.

Isn't Dhoni in CSK, Brother-in-law?

Is that so?

When did he switch teams?

What's with him?

-Whatever. -Serve the biryani, Mom!

Mother-in-law!

Enough.

It tastes delicious.

Bone marrow. Eat it.

What's with your husband? How did he change so much?

You served him two kicks and he started serving you food.

Shut your mouth! Whatever.

With the blessings of Kota Sathamma, the person has changed. That's enough.

Shanthi.

Please give us a grandchild soon!

At least show IPL to your kid properly.

Good thing he didn't say Dhoni hails from Nepal.

Mother-in-law!

-Can I have some water? -Of course, son.

-Chekodis? Enjoy -From our Savukar store.

Here you go.

Enough.

As my uncle said,

we need to mark the 14th day from when the period started.

Which means…

three, four, five…

-15. -Hello?

-And 17. -Hold on, I'll mark it on the calendar.

Be in line for a second.

Brother, side, please.

Tell me now. Give me that pen, brother.

14? Okay, okay!

15 is okay too.

16th to Mandapeta. Okay, okay!

Nothing on the 17th?

Who the hell ticked this?!

20 and 21. All right.

Okay.

Brother, your pen.

-You don't have anywhere else to mark? -Don’t we always mark it here?

If you touch that calendar again…

I'll chop off your hand and feed it to the fish!

-Get lost! -Got it, Brother.

Shanthi.

What do you want me to do to calm your anger?

Tell me, Shanthi.

Shanthi!

I wonder if she'll ever change.

Where are Mom and Laddu?

They're sleeping.

Do you have to go today?

What would I do by staying back?

Make me stop being mad.

Which city is famous for this size of idly?

-You shouldn't hit elders. Say sorry. -Sorry!

Congratulations, nephew!

So, you're going to be a father, huh?

Our plan worked out well!

What did you plan?

What? It's nothing.

I'm asking you. What did you plan?

Nothing like that.

-A. Prashanthi! -They're calling us.

Come on, let's go. Get up.

Please sit! I'll check your BP.

When was your period last month?

Between the first and fifth of last month.

You're too weak. I'm prescribing iron and folic acid for one month.

Take one tablet daily.

We'll scan again during next month's review.

Okay!

Get down, quickly.

Why don't you spend some time with her?

Even if they don't say it out loud,

the women seek their husbands' company at such times.

Mom. Uncle's got something to do. He needs the car.

Let her sit with me all day once I’m back from the pond.

You'll never change.

Mom!

What's with the mangoes?

It isn't a rule that everyone prefers them.

Ask her what she’s craving.

You like mangoes, don't you?

Did your uncle suggest you bring me mangoes to cool me down?

What are you two up to?

No! Nothing like that. We didn't plan anything.

What did you both plan together?

-Let go. -Give me an answer.

Let go, I said!

That's right. I did make a plan.

I got my headstrong wife pregnant.

Once you have kids, stay in a corner of the house, wiping their backs.

Understood?

You hit me with all your strength.

And I hit back with my brains.

That's the difference.

Listen!

Studying for a degree in college…

Practicing karate from YouTube…

Stop having those thoughts!

There are some precautionary videos for pregnant women, right?

Watch them!

You're used to it, anyway.

You learn things just like that.

Sit still in the corner.

Shorty!

I'll be back with the medicine.

I was hoping your dad would be reborn, but why did this happen instead?

Some things are just written in fate.

How could anyone take out their anger on an unborn child?

I raised you so well.

What kind of tension gave you a BP attack?

Why did you do this?

All this isn't because of the fighting, Dad.

One more word and I'll break your teeth.

Only your name implies peace.

But you bring no peace to anyone at home.

That's why they say to raise girls to manage a home, not to tear it apart.

Look how she's staring at me!

Please don't try your fighting on me!

I'm not as strong as my son. I'll just drop dead!

Don't worry! No one's got to go anywhere.

-I'm going. -Where do you think you're going?

Into a ditch or a graveyard, why do you bother?

I'll deal with my fate. Just leave me alone.

-Dear! -Stop!

This is not a government hospital.

Pay the bill and go wherever you want.

Are you paying me back with the ring I gave you?

All right!

Say sorry three times and leave!

Sell this, and pay the bill.

That should be enough for the bill and everything you spent on me.

If it falls short, message me, and I'll send it soon.

It's better if we don't meddle in her in-law's matter.

If we let her off now,

Wait for a week.

We'll send her away somehow.

Me. To prove my worth to you.

You have proven it to all of Godavari.

Are you happy now?

I asked you to forget that issue.

You didn't listen to me. Idiot.

-I'll come, wait, brother! -See how she is beating!

There is no confusion in this.

All girls should be like Prashanthi.

I've never seen a fight like this!

She kicked her husband because, she wants to elope with her boyfriend!

She is amazing, no one can be like her!

We shouldn't give these women the freedom to do as they please.

If we give freedom, they'll kick us like this only.

How can women do this?

No girl will do this without a reason.

All these are tricks to earn money!

This is what happens if you hit women.

Fighting itself is wrong, whoever it is!

He must have tortured her a lot for her to revolt like this.

We should kill all the men!

These women's rights people will create a ruckus if someone beats their wife.

Where are they now?

-Honey! -I'm coming, baby!

-Hope she didn't listen. -Oh my!

She was my student.

I used to encourage her, knowing her talent.

Ms. Kondaveeti.

Proud of you.

I've given two extra marks.

-Are you happy? -Happy, sir.

I should be careful with them.

Mom. Check this out.

It's our korameenu that started all this.

He was asking for it.

She looks too young. But we'll manage somehow.

Stop there.

What the hell is all this?

Family issues are to be kept private.

Those are computer graphics, sister.

They are doing this to defame our family.

-Why did she hit me? -Going by the rules,

the only good thing you've done is to get that girl married to this guy.

Don't lose that respect.

Why are you still supporting the woman who hit me?

He is half the reason for your downfall.

The other half is me, who supported you in daughter-in-law's issue.

Dear, in the madness of raising you as a man,

I didn't raise you as a human.

Start thinking like a human.

He must be burning inside.

I tried hard. I'd have set you up if you’d at least had a degree.

Sorry, Shanthi!

Don't worry, Dad.

We can pay the current and upcoming rent together.

-I spoke to the owner. -All right, then.

Brother-in-law! Sister!

I settled it. I settled everything.

I almost fell at her mother-in-law's feet.

Rama Rao was the mediator and set everything up.

The son-in-law is priceless.

You may have spat in their faces,

but he still agreed to let you into the house.

Why should he agree to anything? Why did you even go to that house?

Do I need directions from someone to set your life right?

My life ended up like this because you've been fixing it since childhood.

Ask me for what I need! Ask me about what I like!

Ask me about what's troubling me. I'll tell you.

What do you mean?

Your dad and I raised you for 25 years. Do you think we don't know you at all?

You don't. If he hadn't been born before me,

you wouldn't even know what to name me.

That's enough talking from you!

-Brother-in-law! -Dear!

Come stand over here.

Shanthi, go inside.

-Go inside. I'll handle them! -Enough of everyone speaking for me.

It was my idea to send uncle to him

I was also the one who asked to talk to him.

After we drop you off at your mother-in-law's place,

whether you parade around or hang yourself is up to you. Understand?

That guy who's sheltering his sister after her husband abandoned her

is much better than you.

I'm asking you to go to that better man.

Anyway, you can't stay at my house.

After marriage, a woman's home is her in-laws' house.

That's right, Shanthi.

Only if you go and stay in that house

will this family's honor and dignity remain intact.

So, if I live my life my way and do what I like,

I'm not needed by any of you?

A daughter who drags the family's honor through the dirt isn't needed by us

or by any family in India.

Where are you going?

I don't need to stay where I'm not wanted.

That's right. I did make a plan.

I got my head strong wife pregnant.

A daughter who drags the family's honor through the dirt isn't needed by us

or by any family in India.

Try it.

Wait, Uncle. Hello! Tell me.

Bro…

Seeing your fall, our old man neighbor is ready to fight us.

He is selling 100 rupees less than us, brother.

What should we do now?

Crush him!

I'll manage whatever happens.

Brother, when are you coming to the lake?

We are missing you, brother.

Even the fish miss you. Come soon!

I'll come.

Hey!

If I have anyone, it's you guys.

Okay, Brother.

That oldie must be backed by someone, guys.

We must do something about him.

-Greetings. -Greetings.

You throw those cashew husks away, right?

Can I take them? I could use them.

They're useless. What would you do with them?

Hello, Prashanthi. I received your raw material sample.

Quite surprising it's cashew extract.

It looks promising to make quality soaps.

So, when are you sending me your consignment?

Consignment will reach you by this Monday, sir.

I'll give my best and looking forward to a fruitful collaboration.

Well, so good to know. We'll look forward. Thank you.

Thank you, sir.

-Tell me, uncle. -Is it true what I heard?

Did your wife kick you?

It seems that the blows have hit you hard. I saw the video, man.

Hey! Hang up!

Greetings, Ms. Kanakam.

Welcome, Mr. Rama Rao. How are you? Please be seated.

-Nattu. -Yes, madam.

while making an entry, add the referral bonus.

-Okay, madam. -That's an old case.

-It'll be in that divorce section. -Okay, madam.

You look familiar.

He is my nephew.

He is very famous in Dhavalesawaram. Kindly help me out with his divorce.

Oh! Just like your uncle.

What's the reason? Is he having an affair?

-Your blessing. -What do you mean?

You must get him a divorce, madam.

Anything like mental torture or property disputes?

-No, not at all. -Oh, okay.

-Are there any sexual problems? -Not at all. He is a perfect man.

It's difficult, Rama Rao.

-You should have told him, right? -Told him what?

All the sections favor women.

If the reason is not strong,

cases filed by men won't stand in court.

Yes, Madam. We do have a strong ground.

A strong one.

-Have a look at this video. -Uncle, please don't.

We shouldn't hide anything from doctors and lawyers.

-Am I correct, madam? -Yes, you're right.

See? Watch this video.

-Hey, Nattu! -Yes, madam.

-Have you seen this? -Of course, madam!

I can't stop laughing.

Yes, ma'am.

No matter how many times you watch it, you can’t stop laughing.

I thought you made this reel to get famous on Instagram.

Is this video actually real?

All the bruises are real, ma'am. Show her, nephew.

I get it.

Enough.

I'll file the first domestic violence case

on behalf of a man in Godavari district.

I'll see that you win this case.

And if needed,

I'll see that you get alimony.

I'll create history.

Case number 2794.

-Petitioner, Ambati Omkar Naidu. -Greetings, sir.

Defendant, Kondaveeti Prashanthi.

February 13, 2025.

Stop it. It's a divorce case, right?

-Yes, sir. -Proceed.

Your Honor.

My client is a good, young man.

He is kind-hearted, innocent…

-Madam, soft-hearted… -Rama Rao.

-As he said, soft-hearted. -Come on, keep going.

Say another 20 attributes.

He is a very good man, he roams near my house.

What is this?

This is only the first hearing, right?

I will send them to counseling and we can take a call later.

No, sir!

This is a clear case of physical assault and harassment.

Don't you have any shame to hit a girl?

-No, sir-- -Sir!

That girl has kicked my client.

He looks like a jar full of pickles,

and she looks like the lid of that jar.

How can she kick that guy?

Are you sure, Kanakam?

Are you in your senses?

Your Honor.

You will understand when you see this evidence. Give it.

Now he'll know who beat whom. Let's see.

-Is that in HD quality? -Yes, madam.

Look, dear.

Just because the laws favor women,

you can't behave as you like.

The court will not spare anyone.

Sir, he raised his hand to me first.

He hit me 26 times in the span of six months after our marriage.

If he hits you, will you retaliate in kind?

You both should just fight,

what good are courts for?

Please tell her that, sir.

I've married her without any dowry.

She mentioned a degree and I promised to support her.

I took her to her hometown whenever she wanted.

Who would do that, sir? Who would?

She lived the way she wanted in my house.

Is there a better husband than me in the whole country?

-Open your mouth, speak up. -So, what do you want to prove?

I shouldn't pursue studies if you don't accept?

-Should I not go to my hometown alone? -No!

Do I need your permission to live the life I want?

Yes, you do.

I married you, trusting that you'd love me.

Who told you to do that?

I served you like a maid without being paid.

If you argue anymore, I should demand dowry from you.

Why would I give you a dowry?

I did a favor by marrying you.

-You-- -Who asked you to marry me?

-Who asked?! -Did I ask you to marry me?

You hit me right after marrying me. Look at that video!

-Do you want me to beat you again? -Do you want me to beat you here?

-Go ahead, even I want to see that. -Do you want me to show you?

-Go ahead. -Order, order!

Keep fighting.

Break all the furniture in the court too.

Destroy everything!

Do you even care that a judge is here?

Sorry, sir.

You're too headstrong to apologize to me,

-but this silly guy gets a "sorry, sir"? -Hey!

-What are you laughing at? -Sorry, Your Honor.

-What, buddy? -See that, sir?

He doesn't know how to behave or respect elders.

He has the arrogance of being a man.

And people who support him.

-Omkar Naidu. -Sir.

-I wanted to ask you a question. -Yes, sir.

What are the three things a woman needs in her marital life?

-Uh, sir… Egg, clothes… Huh?

-What is that? -No, sir.

Food, shelter, clothes, sir.

Him and his eggs.

-Hey, silk sarees. -Oh, that?

Can anyone else here answer this?

-Sir, I'll answer. -What will he answer?

Going by the rule, ornaments, sarees, movies, tours…

Right, madam?

That's why your wife divorced you.

Do you remember? You cried a lot after that.

Sit down. Useless fellow.

Going by the rules, it seems…

-I will answer, Judge sir. -Okay. Go ahead.

Morality, patience, responsibility.

Wait, Uncle. What age are you living in?

My Lord, I will tell you.

Good reels on Instagram, vacations, and…

-good sex. -Damn this guy!

I will break your skull!

As a girl,

and as a wife, you tell us. What do women need?

Freedom to think,

freedom to share the thoughts,

to feel like an equal partner.

-Oh! -Is it?

Hey Pulasa, listen to that.

Freedom, independence, and equality

are basic human rights.

There is no gender bias in that.

These rights also apply to women by birth.

You need to recognize and respect them.

Mr. Pulasa Rama Rao,

you both

have to write the three words she said a 1000 times each!

Not 1000 times.

I'll give you a concession.

Write 2000 times each!

-Not fair, sir. -Rama Rao!

Not fair?

Are you teaching me about justice and injustice?

Look at that guy!

See, man…

See, dear…

If you both mutually agree, I'll grant a divorce and close the case.

This court will resume after lunch.

Freedom.

Bloody independence!

Equality.

How much are you selling a quintal of fish for?

You're neglecting the business because of the injuries.

How would you know?

1000, 1500…

Hey!

How dare you compete with Naidu brother, you old hag!

Not just competing. He's selling a quintal 100 rupees less than us.

But that pond isn't mine anymore. I've already sold it.

I am selling a hundred less than your price.

Don't worry.

No‘man’ has been born yet around Dhavaleshwaram who can beat you!

You write.

Did she sign the divorce papers?

Oh my! Nephew! Have a look at this.

"All the best."

Nephew,

you were under the wrong impression about her.

To stop another girl from falling into your trap,

she set her own by not giving you a divorce.

Shanti is like a Pulasa fish,

that swims upstream in the Godavari from the sea into the river.
