This is a famous bar madam.

It's a riot in there! Excuse me madam.

She's my tourist friend who has come to Mysuru. Don't bother her!

[EVERYBODY EXCLAIM TOGETHER]

Well madam...

- Not here madam. - But the table is empty.

- It is reserved madam. - Reserved for?

Madam, welcome to crazy star bar madam.

Whether he comes or not, it's reserved. Sit here.

What's the story behind the table?

A beer and a whiskey for table 'Shanti Kranti'.

Only one man sits there madam.

- Why? - Let it go, madam.

[SINISTER MUSIC PLAYS]

Go on.

Tell me.

The table is a tradition, madam.

Who sits there?

- It's a long story madam. - So, please tell.

[CAP POPS OPEN, FIZZING]

Thank you. Go on.

It belongs to...

A CD shop rental guy, madam.

[FOREIGNER SNIGGERS]

You mean a DVD shop guy?

Yes madam.

Once upon a time...

Boom.

[SIREN BLARES; WALKIE STATIC]

Madam, we're heading to the verified location.

[INTENSE MUSIC BUILDS; SIRENS CONTINUE TO BLARE]

In a stunning raid, the Mysore police have seized an

estimated 300 - 500 kilos of Marijuana, busting the illegal operation.

[REPORTER] Today, I'm his fan, madam. Back then, I was un upcoming journalist.

- - No thank you, sir. - Wear it!

- My face needs to be seen. - To hell with you!

My face... Ugh.

An estimated 300 to 500 kilos of Marijuana was being grown in the 15 acres land...

Yeshwanth, inform the other media outlets right away.

[FUEL SPLASHES]

Sir, I'll go stand there in my spot. You can then light the consignment.

Sir, pan from that end to me and I'll start my byte.

I welcome you all to today's special program..

In Hunsur... [GIGGLES UNCONTROLLABLY]

In 15 acres land, 300 to 5...

Please don't shake the camera, Sir!

In 15 acres land, 300 to 500 kilos...

[PEPPY BEAT BUILDS]

PACHCHA

[YOUNG CONVICT]Sir, I didn't do anything. I'm innocent.

- Quit talking and walk! - Weren't you listening all this while?

I didn't mean that.

Sir, I'd borrowed my friend's bike.

How could I've known that he's stored Marijuana in the bike?

I swear I'm innocent, sir.

Sure. The ones in the prison are innocent.

The ones outside are criminals. Keep moving.

Go and sign over there!

- What's his problem?! - In 'cos of the Mango case.

Now that he got caught, he's claiming to be innocent.

- Sir, please. - Sign it!

- Put him in cell number 5. - Oh. That man's cell?

[UPBEAT STRING RHYTHM BUILDS]

Sir, who's the guy in cell number 5?

[UPBEAT STRING RHYTHM INTENSIFIES]

[CROWD NOISES]

Pachcha!

[FERAL ROAR]

Your new cell-mate.

[ROUSING "KICHCHA KICHCHA" THEME COVER]

Sir, how about a cigarette?

Drat!

Fifty grams!

For Rs. 50,000, I ruined it all!

Dammit!

Every cop is a smart ass and us...?

Brother, things were different before.

Things were great.

Not anymore.

What can people like us even do?

Mysore seems to have gotten cursed, brother.

Mysore has changed a lot!

Pachcha, your girl had called from Mysore asking for you.

Everything's well back home.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC BUILDS]

Brother, are you from Mysore?

Are you.. Mango Pachcha?

Mang... Mango Pachcha.

ARE YOU MANGO PACHCHA?!

Brother, I've heard a lot about you in my area.

Brother, I grew up listening to your stories.

You're a legend in our field of work.

The stories we've heard...

I am Pachcha.

From here on, let me tell you my story.

[SHUTTER OPENS]

Amma named me Prashantha.

Pachcha brother? All good?

However, Pachcha became the popular name.

I ran a DVD store in my area.

Apart from the DVD business, I had another thriving one.

Record movies and leak them. Piracy.

[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYS]

My boys would ensure the DVDs reached every nook and corner of the city.

Such was my boys' network. A kick ass one.

Apart from this world, I had another world of mine.

This one right here, is my girl - Suji.

This is my mother. Padma.

My brother, Shyama.

Open your mouth.

The loan proposal will get approved, Amma.

Pachcha?

Why do you all seem so gloomy?

That too on Amma's birthday?

Biryani, was the cake the we could afford.

They are my strength.

My family.

When we had money, all we needed was twenty rupees of petrol to ride across the city.

Street shopping was our mall trip.

We were masters of Cricket.

No matter the tournament, the cup was always ours.

When cricket came on TV, we would bet on the matches.

We would call others to bet too.

This is a matter of having balls. Are you betting or not?

[CROWD ERUPTS IN CELEBRATION]

Middle-class life.

Life would throw ideas to prosper once in a while.

And I would throw in requests for loans.

I see no tenth marks card.

I can't find your birth certificate.

Well, I know your next line...

“You’ve got no guarantor for your loan. How can I approve it, Pachcha?”

Until I got another idea, the empty theater was my respite.

In the same corner seat.

Brother...

Pachcha's story sounds nice

When did you turn into Mango Pachcha?

Same shot.

Different dialogue. Let me restart.

An opportunity to grow without a loan came looking for me.

[RICKSHAW TURNS OFF]

Sad scene.

But that was the turning point of my life.

Apparently he passed away 30 minutes ago.

[PACHCHA] My father had died.

I have to go.

Do you really have to?

Even though the emotions were barely there

the karma of being born to him had tied me to him anyway.

[FUNERAL BAND PLAYS]

Nagappa's right hand, Shridhara.

[DARK, SINISTER THEME BUILDS]

Mahendra. Mysore Corporation's Mayor.

Mahendra Anna is here.

Nagappa. My step-brother.

We need to talk.

Pachcha.

Mahendra anna is asking for you. Right away.

[UPBEAT THEME MUSIC PLAYS]

- Sit down, Pachcha. - It's okay, Anna.

Sit down.

If he's being this nice for the first time

[PACHCHA] There's got to be more, right?

Kuntesh, give it to me.

There you go.

Listen up guys. The elder is no more.

The three of us now need to unite.

Your father and I ran this business together.

It was then we realised.

Running a business will not get us far.

We need power to rule.

On that day, we took a decision together.

He was to run the business and I was to enter politics.

This is our diary.

This has everything.

I’ve written what needs to happen from now.

Sign it.

Can you please come aside?

Excuse me, Pachcha.

I'm not asking you to not enter politics.

Don't you need money to get in?

Are the expenses a joke?

How will you manage it?

Without a business, it's impossible to do it.

How will you enter politics?

In a bus?

Anna, doing this business won't hurt my turn in politics, right?

See our soldier sitting there?

Hey.

It's not about building an empire.

Don't you need soldiers who are willing to be martyrs?

Take this, Pachcha

Read it. Sign it.

I have one condition, Anna.

A flashback to lead to my condition.

[MOVIE SOUNDS ON TV]

Wait right here. I'll be back.

[SCENE FROM 'BHAGYADA LAKSHMI BAARAMMA' - 1986]

Whatever you’re giving her, finish it today.

I should have smashed her face with a broom long ago.

It's my fault.

This fight isn't happening for property or money.

This is happening because Amma’s having another baby.

A relationship without marriage already comes with free disrespect.

Today, it's normal for us.

Back then, it hurt a lot.

The man lying dead out there...

My mother must be the one to light his pyre.

HEY!

What is he saying, Anna?!

After that, I'll do anything you ask from me.

- See you around. - Anna!

How dare he talk like this in front of you.

- Calm down. - This isn't right, Anna.

[TENSE BEATS PULSE]

Will the corpse know who lit the pyre?

Even if the dead man won’t know, I will right?

The business will be in your hands.

You can get into politics as well.

But without Pachcha and his men...

Everything fails.

Anna, everything was going well.

Your rental business was going well.

You had your boys

And a girl who liked you.

Yet...

Respect?

[TENSE BEATS PULSE]

Sir, they led their own lives.

By uniting them, why are you risking things Sir?

- Kuntesh - Sir?

A king dies when two people unite and war against him.

These two will never unite.

So...

The king will always be safe Kuntesh.

Nagappa. Pachcha.

This right here is the field.

Over 12-13 acres will be planted with marigold flowers.

In between them, we'll plant our plants.

Plant jasmine across the field and no cop will ever be able to tell.

You're now responsible for this place, Pachcha.

[URBAN HIP-HOP GROOVE PLAYS]

- How come you’ve put his photograph? - I felt like it. So I did.

Suji!

I need to tell you something.

The night he passed, you suddenly went inside the house. Why?

Exactly what I wanted to discuss.

I've agreed to run Nanjappa's business.

No need.

You took it up to put your brother down.

- Suji! - What?

Am I not telling the truth?!

You're hooked to chasing dirty money.

As if Nanjappa sold marigold flowers to fund this store of yours.

Nanjappa lived like he owned every village around.

Selling DVDs, betting on matches and scraping through each day.

- We've everything we need, right? - What’s in your version of "everything"?

Your tea shop? Or my DVD store?

We're leading a relaxed life.

Why destroy our peace over this?

Let money fill our pockets, Suji.

Peace will follow us like the Hutch dog.

Things got screwed up when our plant and smoke...

Reached the wrong house.

Huh?

What is this?

- Is this legal in your city? - Madam...

How is this available so easily in Mysore?

One can find this as easily as rice.

Teenagers are carrying it around in their pockets.

Yes, Madam?

Put a team together, find the targets and nab the peddlers.

[MIC ANNOUNCEMENT]

I've been asked to attend a meeting at the Commissioner's officer.

[CROWD ERUPTS IN CELEBRATION]

Though I became 'Mysore Kesari' through my efforts,

it happened only because of Pachcha's brother's generosity.

Therefore, this mace should be given to him.

Madam, you don't worry about it.

Listen, everyone wait outside.

For what joy?

I'm not running a small crew.

We're sixty in total.

This works only if they work.

We shouldn't be the only ones to grow, right?

There's a price for hard work and loyalty.

The price was fixed four years ago.

It's time the share increased, right?

Pachcha, imagine if somebody bails out your brother now.

They will be marked.

After that, trouble will hit us all.

What you're doing is a crime after all, isn't it Pachcha?

Whether something's a crime or not, is decided by men in white like you.

If you decide that it's a crime to drink water out of a glass.

You would become a criminal too, Anna.

When one's building an empire, the other person has to become a martyr.

Back then, various drugs from South America would enter America.

To put an end to it, the American President announced 'War on Drugs'.

India was America's friend, right?

So, our country also declared the same - 'War on Drugs'.

[RAJIV GANDHI] Would like to reiterate our commitment, to co-operate with you.

Marijuana was added to the list of banned drugs, and the law came into effect in 1985.

Overnight, every Marijuana farmer turned into a criminal.

The one supervising the Marijuana field, was my Amma.

She never understood any of it.

Neither did Nanjappa, nor Mahendra tell her.

Before she found out, the terrible news struck like a lightning to our house.

But why?!

- Don't you listen to radio announcements?! - Why are you taking me?

[POLICE SIREN BLARES]

AMMA!

Amma who was convicted, got out after a year.

She didn't return by herself.

She brought my younger brother who was born in the prison.

Once she got out, she worked in a store, cleaned other people's homes.

But she never stepped into the field again.

Then?

Your brother Shyama, did you get him out?

Brother, this lawyer's an expert in bailing out his clients.

But he refused to deal with a Marijuana case.

No lawyer in the city was willing to take up a Marijuana case.

This situation led to a lot of infighting in the crew.

HEY!

Quit shouting!

Shyama has to return home. Period.

[MOBILE PHONE RINGS]

In the end, you proved that you're a treacherous snake, Shridhara.

Shridhara isn't the treacherous one here.

It's you.

This happened because of the business, right?

Watch what I do.

Whoever's got the balls to stop me, can try now.

One more thing.

If anybody tries to touch Shridhara...

The hands that touch him.

The body that ordered them to do so.

Both won't make it out alive.

We'll see.

I'll put the peddler from Bengaluru in place.

Get going with his business.

No white-clad politician, nor black-clad lawyer will come to save us now.

But somebody has to do this.

A man who will keep his word.

A pan of cement, two pans of sand and three pans of jelly stones.

- A simple formula. Got it? - I got it, sir.

Prasanna Kumar, an influential man in our town.

A builder and a social worker.

The man of the hour for us.

Sir, Pachcha is here.

- What brings you here? - You must already know, Anna.

Of course I do.

Kings lived here, Pachcha.

Whatever happens in the palace, is bound to reach the people's ears.

Get to the point. What do you want from me?

Get my brother out, Anna.

Me and my crew worked hard to make it this big.

We grew it and sold them.

But somebody else enjoyed the fruit.

Me and Nagappa have nothing to do with each other.

You have no business.

You have no money either.

What will I get from supporting you from now?

Right?

Think about it.

I have something, Anna.

People.

Once they stand by us, they won't step back.

And If I wish to move ahead, they'll dig through the ocean to make way for me.

I can take that path with anybody I hold hands with.

Hold my hand, and that'll mean holding the hands of my people too.

The house has only developed cracks. The house hasn't fallen.

Hold my hand.

For fifty percent.

A house isn't a big deal.

You can build it with anything.

Long ago, didn't they build homes with coconut branches, or even mud?

Didn't they stand strong?

To build a house, one needs...

[MOBILE PHONE RINGS]

Tell me?

Brother, I've got a mind-blowing news for you.

Shyama's getting released this evening, brother.

We've been asked to go at 5 P.M. Party time!

To build a house, one needs trust, Pachcha.

More than cement or mud, one needs heaps of trust.

I'll never forget this.

I'm here to build something else.

What are you planning to build?

An empire.

[CELEBRATORY DRUM BEATS]

Anna, Cement was telling me that if we move to Bengaluru, we can make a lot of money.

Get off the bike!

We don't need people who have experienced big cities, Shyama.

They value time, clothes and other materialistic things over people.

This is our city.

Mysuru is ours.

What is this funky smell?

Sir, this is where the money is!

This alone costs Rs. 4,000.

This is called Exstasy.

A single tablet costs Rs. 2,000.

I'll take care of the supply, Sir.

Madam, this was where our first check post was.

We found nothing.

Their old farm was here. There's no activity over there now.

We now have another check post at HD Kote.

- What's his deal? - He's got a box full of tennis balls.

What's this? Are you a player now?

No. It's just a dealership I'm running.

- Slit them open and check. - Go ahead, sir.

Sir, we checked most of the boxes. Still found nothing.

- Fine. Let them go. - Sir, you asked them to unload it, right?

Kindly get it loaded back in.

Their checkpoints have increased.

Put the uncut load of boxes in my lorry.

Take the balls loaded with stuff on your bikes.

If they check the boxes after seeing that it's me...

All they will get is some stale air.

The police can keep the balls and play catch with it.

With Mr. Prasanna's support, so did our empire.

Your land is perfect for a supermarket.

I know what a supermarket is. Tell me the deal.

Sir, please don't mind.

The people who live on that land are dependent on the market.

Are you capable of moving them out?

Listen madam, the land is mine.

If I wish to sell, they will have to leave.

Sir, it isn't about that.

When we went to visit the site, people surrounded us and intimidated us.

They claimed to be Pachcha's men.

When such is the case, this can't happen easily, right?

We'll take time and clear them out.

What? You don't think I can?

Did I say a word, Nagappa?

You seem to be assuming it all.

His arrogance stems from dealing in those leaves.

Weed it out...

By the time Dasara ends, his crew and business...

Both must be wiped out.

One kilo 'Mango' by Siddhartha hotel.

Two kilo 'Mango' at Regency theatre.

Three kilos near Planet X.

Orders are coming in kilos, brother!

The huge orders made the crew think they were set for life.

...our lives are set forever.

Let's all fly abroad!

Who the hell buys kilos at once?!

Didn't Pachcha brother tell us that Mysore has changed for good?

We only saw the orders, not the hands or motive behind them.

Get started!

[INTENSE MUSIC]

[MEN SCREAM IN PAIN]

Hello? Shridhara anna? You hear me?

Nagappa had Cement and his crew.

They beat us up and stole all our stuff!

[SINISTER SCORE]

[DOOR CREAKS]

My father was very fond of you.

I'm a lot more fond of you than him.

Come. Sit.

Pachcha has vowed to defeat me, Suji.

Won't you ask him why?

Winners don't really care about defeating others.

Those who only wish to defeat the others, will never win.

If not for my father, you would have...

I would have no option but to die.

I'll never forget his help.

- You have. - I haven't.

Then why are you watching Pachcha's actions and keeping quiet?

When you sent men to finish Pachcha in the theater, I kept quiet then too, right?

You sent men to attack him by the Town Hall too.

Looks like you've forgotten that too.

That wasn't my doing.

I only nodded at Mahendra out of anger.

If you did nod your head.

You meant to tell them to finish him, right?

Anna, Cement turned out to be a two-faced bastard!

Pachcha, our people in the market are in trouble.

We have to do something.

Your brother came to me and told me that

I am watching Pachcha's actions and staying quiet.

He's expecting me to stop you.

You two won’t talk, but you’ll strangle us in the middle, huh?

- Suji... - Who am I to you?

Is there an official title to this relationship of ours?

- Pachcha, let's... - Hey!

- Suji! - We don't need this now, Pachcha!

Pachcha, they've asked us to vacate before the Jambu Savaari procession.

What do we do? You have to tell us.

Apparently, they're building a supermarket here.

You've lived here for three decades.

You'll continue to do so.

He plans to sell this land, win the elections and become a big man, doesn’t he?

It’s time to show the big people what it means to be truly big.

Show up tomorrow like you do every day.

I'm with you.

THE BRAVEST OF THE BRAVE, SHRI NAGAPPA HAS DONATED HIS ANCESTRAL LAND

[REPORTER] Sir, why this sudden decision?

Well, it was my father's wish!

He wanted me to help the poor.

I'm only fulfilling it.

Now that's a fiery idea, Pachcha!

You planted the bone so deep he can’t cough it out.

For days, there were rumours that Mr. Nanjappa’s flower market would be turned into a supermarket.

But today, his son Nagappa has silenced the rumours with his generosity.

Does that mean he'll contest the elections? Only time will tell.

- All this is Pachcha's doing... - Shush.

What’s unfolding right before us isn’t something you see with just your eyes.

You need your brains too.

Even if I join Mahendra Anna's party, the same people have to vote for me.

And if I don't, the same people will still have to vote for me.

When people are on our side, do I need a party’s support?

Knowingly or unknowingly, Pachcha has done good for us all.

[SINISTER MUSIC PLAYS]

Don't worry, Anna!

You look a lot better than Bobby Deol.

Right?

Haven't I dolled up Anna nicely?

May no evil eyes fall on you both!

Pachcha...

You've got to come with us now.

Why are you taking him?

Shantala talkies' owner has lodged a complaint.

Apparently he pirated a recording of the movie 'H20'.

Arrest warrant has been granted in the old case.

- He'll be back soon. - Please look around, sir.

Today's my wedding!

But.. law is blind to all, isn't it?

Give it to me!

You should also come along.

Nagappa!

He's getting married today.

I fold my hands and beg you! Please don't do this today.

- I'll fall at your feet and... - Amma, please...

Did you get Pachcha arrested?

As if your brother is Dawood Ibrahim.

I'll be chanting his name all the time. [DISCONNECTS]

Don't mind my questions.

You sold countless kilos of stuff.

Why are they arresting you for a piracy case?

They had no proof, did they?

They must have had a plan, if they arrested me on my wedding day, right?

The piracy case was just an excuse.

The police had a different plan altogether.

Did you know that he was getting married?

Not until I went there.

I found out only after I did.

Something is off.

Madam, a couple of days more.

As per our plan, let's get the younger brother out on bail.

It'll be fine.

Make sure he's under surveillance until we find his source.

- He will go to him. - I shall trail him, madam.

You.. the younger one.

You've been granted bail. Come out now.

What?! I'm not going out, sir.

I'm staying with my brother.

With Mr. Prasanna abroad and unreachable to bail us out, this was clearly somebody else’s ploy.

Go out. Hit someone and come back..

No way! I'll be with you, Anna.

- Anna, please tell him! - Shush!

Listen to me carefully.

If they're letting only you out, something seems fishy.

- Don't go out of our home. - Sure.

- Don't get into scoring stuff. - Sure, brother.

If possible, go meet Suji.

Tell Shridhara to get me out sooner.

Take care of Amma.

Mahendra anna.

It all began from there.

The market wasn't sold.

Nagappa contested the elections.

Your business also grew.

Mahendra anna hated the idea of Nagappa entering politics.

So, he kept diverting him from doing it.

But he contested as an independent candidate.

And you made it big up on your own.

So, Mahendra anna...

Got Shyama killed.

As per the plan, once the election ended, I was supposed

to come to you and tell that Nagappa got Shyama killed.

Pachcha, I'm merely a pawn.
