All language subtitles for Kranthiveera Sangolli Rayanna

This is the birthplace
of lion-hearted men.

In the Western Ghats
of Malnad region

on the banks of the calm
Malaprabha river

amidst nature

and vast irrigated land

lies a small village belonging
to the historic Kittur dynasty

Sangolli.

In this village, there lived
a family who worked as postmen.

The entire family is patriotic
as they belonged to 'Kuruba' caste.

Bharamanna and Kenchavva's
second son

was none other than
Sangolli Rayanna.

Hail Rayanna..

Hail Rayanna..

Hail Rayanna..

Mom, it's late,
let's have dinner now.

Siddhanna.

Let your brother Rayanna
come back.

Mother-in-law, villagers
won't leave Rayanna so soon.

Rayanna will be late.

Let's have food.

Sangavva,
he is in the same village.

How can I eat without him?

Yes, Grandma.
You're right.

Listen to me, Mom and Dad.

No one can eat
until uncle is here.

Aunt.
- Yes.

Hail Lord Shiva.

Mom, I'm starving.

Even I'm hungry.

Sangavva.
- Yes, Mother-in-law.

Please serve the food.
- Okay.

Come on.
- Come on. - Come on.

"Om.."

Hey, Goddess Bistavva

Kittur must always remain

under the rule of Rani Chennamma.

Please don't let that change.

I have faith in you, Goddess.

Please bless us.

Devotee.
- "Hail Lord Shiva."

I appreciate
how you cleanse yourself everyday

and pray to me
with complete devotion.

Goddess.

I got a chance to see you
in person today.

I'm truly fortunate.

You are a courageous
and ardent devotee.

I admire your devotion

and wish that your patriotism
grows everyday

and hence fulfil your wish
by blessing you

with this powerful sword.

Dear, please accept this.

Goddess, you bestow power
to those you have faith in you.

My life is meaningful now.

Rayanna, until this sword
is with you

you will not be in danger.

No matter how difficult
the situation may be

never handover this sword
to any other person.

I'll obey your words.

God bless you.

In the 18th century

the collector of Dharwad,
Mr. Thyakre eyed on the treasure

of the famous and historic kingdom
of Kittur.

They were supported

by betrayers
from the Kittur Dynasty

Malappa Shetty and Venkat Rao.

During this difficult period..

The fearless and resolute
Queen of Kittur

who adorns a throne decorated
with thousands of diamonds

loved by all the people
of the dynasty.

The valorous queen,
Kittur Rani Chennamma

welcome..

"Great Lord, liberate us.."

"Great Lord, liberate us."

Please sit down.

Good morning, Queen.

Sit down.
- Thank you..

Minister, please ask him
what the matter is.

Mister, please convey the message

to the Queen.

We have come here

to decide upon two issues.

What issues?

According to our agreement

why aren't you paying
any taxes or donations?

Taxes?

Why should we pay taxes to you?

Are you our siblings,
relatives or heirs

for us to pay you taxes?

Why should we pay taxes to you?

Kittur was not built
or developed

by your father or grandfather!

It belongs to the
Kannada-speaking people.

In that case,
why should we pay you taxes?

Did you build this city?

Did you support us when
we were struggling?

Why should we pay you taxes?

You came from the west
for business.

We gave you place to stay here.

Should we pay you interest
for that mistake?

From centuries together,
Kittur is surviving

independently.

We will never pay you taxes.

Your majesty

you had made an agreement

that you will pay taxes.

And now you are saying

that you will not pay taxes.

This is not right.

This is not justice to us.

We gave you land to stay.

You foreigners are people claiming
this land to be yours now.

Why should we agree
to your false agreements?

It will never happen.

Your son, Shivalinga Rudrasarja

signed an agreement.
Is there no value for that?

Absolutely not.

The kingdom of Kittur never accepts
a false agreement.

Alright.

But after his father's death,
he cannot be crowned as the king.

According to law of Lord Dalhousie

he cannot be the inheritor.

An adopted child can never
rule the kingdom.

This will not be accepted
by our company.

Hey, Collector.

Watch your words carefully.

Moron.

Who are you to order us?

This is our birthplace.

We have rights
to rule this kingdom.

The king of this throne

should be chosen by us

not you!

Queen, you are going against
the rules of the company.

So be careful about this.

Shut up!

How dare you come
to the Queen's court

and threaten the Queen herself?

Only we have rights
to choose the heir

not you!

Rayanna, you are just a doorkeeper.

I haven't come here
to discuss with you.

Stop your rubbish talks.

Collector.

We live in a secular kingdom.

Don't try to ruin the unity between
the people of our kingdom.

Do not try to implement
your strategies here.

Rayanna is not just a doorkeeper.

Kittur's pride, my adopted son.

All the people in this court
have the rights

to talk about their opinions here.

No one works as a slave here
as you do.

We have people who work
for their country.

If you understand this

it's better for you
and your company too.

Queen, according to the agreement,

we have total control
over the Kittur Dynasty.

You cannot run
this kingdom as you wish.

We are not dogs and this kingdom
is not built by you..

It belongs to Kannada people.

You are trying to go
against our laws.

Using the power of your throne,
you are playing with us.

Due to this
Kittur Kingdom

will lose its fame
and also it's men.

Hey, Collector!

Kannada people have
their own reputation and respect.

A dog like you won't know
the significance of this.

Our kingdom is of audacious people.

We have fearless people.

Kittur Dynasty is made
of self-respect and patriotism.

Will you try to threaten a kingdom
of this magnitude?

I feel you don't want to live.

And I don't have any intention
of keeping you alive.

No..
Please stop.

Please calm down, Rayanna.

Master.

These people are so vicious that
they can betray their own mother

and I'm not a coward
to run away from these people.

I'm the loyal soldier of
Queen Rani Chennamma.

Please give me the permission.

I will chop the heads of these
red cap wearing Britishers.

Rayanna.

Kannada people have always been
very calm and collected.

I don't want you to ruin that.

Queen, this is a big insult for us.

Get out of here.

I have spared your life.

All right.

You will soon face the consequences
of this insult.

Insult, big insult.

A small dynasty is insulting us.

Company cannot tolerate this.

Who has asked you to bare this?

You have a powerful army.

You fools, just thinking
of attacking them won't help.

Declare war, you will win!

Minister, did you hear the news?

We need to fight a war
without any absolute purpose.

I don't want this bloodshed.

But that Collector
is preparing for a war.

If we have to save our kingdom

we have to fight
against the opponents.

It's our duty
to protect the kingdom.

Gurusiddappa, British army
is very strong.

Please think before
you take any steps.

Master, we might have
a smaller army.

And we may not have
so much armoury.

But we have the will
and self-confidence.

We have the power
to move ahead in unison.

It's not enough to just have a zeal
but they can't win.

Your army is much bigger
when compared to their army.

But they are patriotic.

That is true.

But they don't have
the modern weapons with them.

Mister, if you keep waiting
for the right time

you'll be in trouble.

We cannot sit quiet.

We have to fight back
even if we face problems.

We have to fight for a free
and independent nation.

Otherwise, we should die
fighting for our nation.

Yes, Queen.

Rayanna,
this war is all about our pride.

We need to show
the whole country

that Kannada people will fight hard
for their independence.

You are correct, Mr. Sardar.

We are ready to face any obstacle.

People are waiting to attack
the foreigners and shed blood.

Kannada people
are waiting for this opportunity.

Captain Black, Lieutenant Digben.
- Yes, sir.

Discharge right now towards Kittur.
- Okay, sir.

I respect your patriotism.

Sardar Veerappa.
- Yes, Queen.

Please motivate the soldiers.
- I will do that, Queen.

Chennamma, just closing
the gates won't help you.

You think that you are safe inside.

That is a misconception.

You are testing our patience.

I will give you 24 minutes

to get ready for the battle.

Did you listen to him?

They came to our land

and used our resources
and are attacking us now.

We need to teach the collector
a lesson.

Queen, we are being challenged now.

If we have to overcome
this problem then

we need to fight
and kill them.

The soldiers of Kittur Kingdom
are ready

to attack the opponents
and show them our power.

Give these patriotic soldiers
an opportunity to fight.

The Britishers are attacking us
without any reason.

Soldiers of the Kingdom are ready,
they just need your order.

Queen.

In our dynasty, all caste, creed
and religion live in harmony.

This is the true fact.

The people of our Kingdom
are ready to fight.

People are ready
to sacrifice their life.

Before the Kingdom is acquired
by those foreigners

we need to attack them.

Minister.

We never wished for this war.

But these Britishers have come here
to fight us.

We are just trying
to protect our empire.

I'm just waiting for them
to start the war.

There is no other reason
for this delay.

Chennamma, already 24 minutes
are over.

We can't wait.
You bloody!

Capt. Black.
- Yes, sir.

Fire.

Mother, we can't withstand
this anymore.

Gurusiddappa, ask the soldiers
to blow the horn.

Let the sound travel
to the whole empire.

Open the gates of the kingdom.

Fight like lions.

Save Kittur from getting
into Britishers' control.

"Great Lord, liberate us."

"Great Lord, liberate us."

"Great Lord, liberate us."

"Great Lord, liberate us.."

"Great Lord, liberate us.."

Charge!

"Powerful warrior."

"Great Lord, liberate us.."

"Powerful warrior."

"Powerful warrior."

"Hail Lord Shiva..
Great Lord, liberate us.."

"Hail Lord Shiva..
Great Lord, liberate us.."

"The Destroyer.."

"The Destroyer.."

"Great Lord, liberate us.."

"Great Lord, liberate us."

"Great Lord, liberate us."

Thyakre is dead..

"Great Lord, liberate us."

Mr. Kulkarni.

Did you hear that?

People of Sangolli

respect Rayanna
and everyone loves him.

He made our village very proud.

He is a perfect guy.

Enough of this.

You are so dumb.

You don't know whom to trust.

Mr. Kulkarni.

You should not be
jealous of anyone.

If you do so
then things will get worse.

Rayanna is powerful.

What is the use of being powerful?

Does he know how to write or read?

What if he can't?

He has more land, irrigated fields
and better infrastructure too.

Fakeera.

Not only that, he has become
an arrogant man.

He has changed now.

I will bring down his arrogance.

Hey, dear.

Long ago

you had said something to me.

That we should have two sons.

One guy to look after the house.

And other one..

To protect the Motherland.

That wish of yours

has been fulfilled
by our son Rayanna.

He fulfilled it.

'Stop!'

Why are you staring at me?

Don't act so innocent,
I know what you are.

Without chili powder
the food won't taste good.

That doesn't mean we can cook
curry only with chilies.

I'm aware of that.

But I'm not so notorious
all the time.

I react differently to
different situations. - Of course

you are like a fruit

more precisely, a seasonal fruit.
- Yes!

That's not all.

I'll love my husband dearly.

I'm like a chili
for people who annoy me.

You are always upset
that I don't meet you every day.

But, you fight with me
whenever we meet.

My dear, you speak so well.

I'm very happy today.

Wishing to get you..

Don't shout.
Our words would spread everywhere.

My dear.

Even if I spend one day
with you as your wife.

The memories will remain with me
for the whole lifetime.

Malli, I love you very much.

I will not marry anyone except you.

"You have teased the strings
of my heart."

"You have teased the strings
of my heart."

"Oh, dear brave soldier,
come to me."

"You have teased the strings
of my heart."

"Oh! Beautiful lady!"

"Come closer."

"Oh! Beloved!"

"Come to me to romance."

"Your beauty is unmatched."

"Like a song from the heaven."

"Let's live happily ever after."
- "Let's live happily ever after."

"You have teased the strings
of my heart."

"You are an angel
who descended from the heaven."

"You have teased the strings
of my heart."

"The fragrance of this earth
during the month of autumn"

"Is pleasant like a romantic poem."

"The tingling of your ornaments
and your gait"

"is inviting me
to make love to you."

"I'm excited for this unison."

"You are beaming in beauty."

"Like a flood of happiness
- Like the pleasant world"

"Let's live happily ever after."

"You have teased the strings
of my heart."

"Oh, dear brave soldier,
come to me."

"You have teased the strings
of my heart."

"You are like a shining star,
like a pious water."

"Come flowing to me, oh, Goddess"

"Like a beautiful recital,
I can't bear the separation"

"and I wish to unite with you."

"You are like heaven during dusk."

"You are the shadow of the moon."

"We are like a song
- Song with pleasant words"

"Let's live happily ever after.."

"You have teased the strings
of my heart."

"You are an angel
who descended from the heaven."

"You have teased the strings
of my heart."

"Oh, dear brave soldier,
come to me."

"You have teased the strings
of my heart."

Malli..

What happened?
Are you day dreaming?

Yes.
In my dreams

my Rayanna had come.

Mr. Chaplin.

We are very happy that
you have been

elected as the collector
of Dharwad.

I liked the gifts and prizes

which you presented to me.

Good.
Very good.

But your bloody Kittur.

It's boiling the blood
of the people in the company.

Not just you guys.

Even we are very angry.

What do you say, Mr. Venkat Rao?

Yes absolutely.
You're right.

With no heir to take over

Kittur should be ours.

So what has to be done

in order to achieve this?

How will that be profitable to us?

Kittur is all yours.

Whole Kingdom?

No.. Don't be suspicious.

I, Chaplin.

I will always tell you the truth.

Finally, I feel relaxed.

Is that a promise?
- Promise.

During our previous war

you have imprisoned our officers.

You are using them as your bait
and for your self-defence.

We don't want to kill our own men.

Please release our officers
and soldiers immediately.

Otherwise..
- Minister, stop reading!

Finally, we are going.

The wounded warriors,
bad officers of British company

will not serve
as the shield for us.

Kannada people are not cowards.

They are courageous people.

Queen Chennamma,
compromise with us.

Officer.

Kittur warriors are not afraid
of your threats.

Kittur is ready for friendship
and for war too.

Go inform your collector.

Get out of here.
- Okay.

Kenchavva..

Yes.
- Greetings.

What is this?

You are Kittur's council minister.

Why are you entering
from the back door.

Come in..

What can we do?

We are afraid to confront
your son, that's why we avoided

entering from the front door.

Why are you afraid?

If you are afraid

that means you have done
something terrible.

If we have done something wrong
or not.

In the eyes of Kittur's people
we are always the culprits.

Okay.
- Let that aside.

I have something to say
that you may like.

Please tell me.

Chaplin is ready with a big army.

War is imminent.

So I request you not to send
your son to this war.

His life is in danger.

You, shameless creature!

We are not cowards.

If I surrender to your words

and ask my son to sit
like a coward at home.

I'm not a coward like you are.

Please calm down, Kenchavva.
Please calm down.

Calm down?

When deceitful people like you

are trying to attack us.

I'm not a fool
to sit quietly now.

I'm a brave wife
of Bharamanna

who fought a lion and defeated it
and drank its blood.

Remember this.

I never disagreed.

But, you have to understand
this point.

If you agree
to Mr. Chaplin's demands

he will treat your kid
as his own child.

I don't want the foreigners
to treat my kid as their own

or as their heir.

My kid is not a coward like you!

Beware!

You don't know
how powerful they are.

If you don't stop talking now

I won't reply to you

but my sword will give you
a fitting reply.

Hey!
- Hey!

Let's get out..

During this war

we need to make sure that

we take over Kittur kingdom.

Leave that task to us.

We have a soldier from
Kittur Kingdom

and his name is Shivbasapaa.
He is on our side.

And with him we have a lady
named Mantavva.

Okay.

If we pay them some money then..

our task will be bit easier.

Call them.

Shivbasappa..

Greetings.
- Greetings.

Come in..

Greetings.
- Greetings.

They have informed us everything.
Your task will be accomplished.

Okay.

We'll leave now.

Queen.

Britishers are cheaters.

They don't follow any rules
like we do.

The only way to save Kittur
is by waging a war.

If that's the case,
no one can stop that.

Humans should always follow
the path of peace.

Solicitude and kindness should be
the motto to run any Kingdom.

You should never
give way to barbarity.

Master.

There were people who have shed
their blood during this war.

Is there no significance
for their sacrifices?

We can never be scared
of those foreigners.

Should we lower our own flag

and become the slaves
of those Britishers?

Our ancestors

have worked hard
to build this empire.

We have been ruling this Kingdom
for centuries now.

It belongs to Kannada people.

When we are sure about the facts,

how can we allow those strangers
to take the throne of this empire?

Master, it's not possible.
- But..

These foreigners are very powerful.

Master.

Peace and patience were our
strong forte, but we have to let go

of them in order to protect
Kittur Dynasty.

We need to take up weapons
and start fighting now.

What if our state
is smaller in size.

We need not fear.

Kannada people are very brave.

"Great Lord, liberate us.."

"Great Lord, liberate us."

"Oh, brave warrior."

"Oh, brave warrior."

"Oh, brave warrior."

"Oh, brave warrior."

"Great Lord, liberate us."

"Fearless warrior!"

"Fearless warrior!"

It's not firing up, it's wet.

Someone has done it on purpose.

Channabassu,
why are you waiting?

Fire it up.

Queen, our artillery has failed.

Someone has intentionally
done this to our weapons.

Queen.

I need to discuss
an important matter with you.

Gurusidappa, this is not the time
to discuss.

Go fight.

Rayanna!

I admire the Queen's acts
of valour, but..

you have to ask her
to leave the war zone.

What are you trying to say?

All of our artilleries have failed.

Enemy troops are advancing.

Rayanna, hopes of winning
is diminishing.

Queen will never let the soldiers
die and fear for her own life.

Queen will never back off
from the war zone.

Be fearless and fight.

Fight with the enemy troops
and kick them out of here.

Rayanna.

Being fearless and fighting
for the empire is important

but keeping the Queen alive
is our duty too.

It's right to fight until
the end of the battle,

Rayanna, don't forget
that Queen's life is in danger.

"Hey the three-eyed one,
destructor."

"Furious Lord Shiva,
destroy everything."

"Hey, Lord, terrify everyone."

"Hey the three-eyed one,
destructor."

"Furious Lord Shiva,
destroy everything."

"Hey Lord, terrify everyone."

"Great Lord, liberate us."

"Great Lord, liberate us from this"

"vicious cycle of birth and death."

"Great Lord, liberate us from this"

"vicious cycle
of birth and death.."

Mother.

Situation has worsened
and we have been compromised.

These foreigners
are inhuman and unfair.

Mother, they want to kill you.

Safety of this Empire
is more important than my life.

Mother!

If you want to keep fighting.

Chop off my head and then fight.

Mother, please don't let Kittur
be directionless.

Don't do that.
- Queen.

Please don't delay anymore.

Please leave.

Go on.

Hey!

Oh, Soldier!

Hey!

Gurusidappa.

Queen..

Please leave.

Please go away.

Gurusidappa.

Hail Lord..

Chennamma, you are under arrest.

Damn! You coward!

You couldn't win a war
by legit means.

You have come here to arrest me!

You scumbag.

He wasn't alone.

How will he know about this road?

We brought them here.

You are deceitful and traitors.

You should be ashamed.
Damn!

Yes, we should be ashamed,
but we have a life to lead.

Only if we put the shame aside,
we can survive. - Yes.

You dogs!

Shame on you and your desires.

You have betrayed
your own Motherland.

You will face the consequences.

Chennamma, don't shout.

Soldiers, take them away.

Sir, Chennamma is arrested.

Hey! Chennamma has been arrested.

Rayanna.

'Belagavi Jail'

Hey, Rayanna.

Please eat, why do you want
to starve yourself?

You will die of hunger.

Damn! You scumbag!

You are supporting those Britishers
to just earn some food and money.

Why should I eat food?

It's because of people like you
who have sold their self-respect

that today, our Kittur
is in their hands.

Go away.
Don't show me your face again.

You had promised us.

Now you need to handover
Kittur to us.

Surely, why not?

Good people like you

will always be recognised
by the company.

Company respects people like you.

And you will be always honoured.

We don't need them.

Just handover
the Kittur Kingdom to us.

Absolutely.

Major Ross.
- Yes, Sir.

Honour them on an elephant.
- Okay, Sir.

Go on.

Please don't do this.
Leave us.

Please don't do this.

Hey, Venkat Rao.

These rascal Britishers..
These scumbags.

They fooled us
and now they're beheading us.

Shetty.

We never anticipated these people
will turn so violent.

You will never succeed.

You scoundrels.

Don't do..

Mr. Nisbeth.
- Yes, sir.

See here, this is Kittur.

Okay.

We have snatched this place.
- Oh!

They believed that
unity is their strength.

This empire believed that.

According to company policy,

we will divide and rule.

Break the unity.

Mr. Nisbeth, divide Kittur
into three parts.

Bidi, Sampagavi and Kanapura.
- Okay.

These are important
business centres.

You will divide
the three parts as Taluks.

And then rule.
- Okay, sir.

Appoint three ministers
for three Taluks.

But for Sampagavi, appoint
Mr. Krishna Rao.

He is from Mysore.

But also is very close
to our Government.

Understood?
- Yes, sir.

Good luck.

Sir, what is that?

Mr. Krishna Rao.

As ordered by the Queen of England

Viceroy has sent a letter.

What's the matter?

We only have a problem
with the royal family.

We don't hate normal people.

Gaining confidence of the people

will be the main motto
of our Government.

Major Pickering.
- Yes, sir.

Release all the soldiers
who were arrested after the war.

Except Chennamma and her family.
- Okay, sir.

Rayanna, you have been released.

Hey, Rudrappa.
Hey, Kenchappa.

You are flying high, aren't you?

You could hoist your flag
because you were deceitful.

I will hoist our flag
on Kittur Kingdom.

This is my vow.

This is my aim.

"Om.."

Goddess Bistavva.

Goddess, why are you punishing us?

Give me the reason.

People of Kittur are not cowards.

We are warriors.

We are a bunch
of fearless warriors.

I believed so.

But, people who were
imprisoned with me

broke my trust.

They betrayed me..

Everyone proved that people
are around only during happiness.

No one is around here.

But I'm not scared.

To get Chennamma out of the prison
and to free the Kittur Dynasty

I will fight alone.

I swear on you..

Rayanna, we will support you.

We ignored you so that no one
notices us with you.

Rayanna, if it has hurt you,
then please forgive us.

Yes, Rayanna.

I feel contented
by your patriotism.

Goddess, our Kittur's Queen
is not an orphan.

She is fearless.

I have hundreds of warriors
with me to save her.

'Hail Sangolli Rayanna.'

Stop this!

Always cheer for Chennavva, not me.

Let's not make noise here,
you people can leave.

If needed I'll come to you.
- Okay, Rayanna.

We'll leave..

Mr. Kulkarni..

Hey coward! Why are you gasping?
What's wrong?

Sangolli's warrior is here.

Greetings, Rayanna.
- Greetings, Rayanna.

Rayanna..

If your mom sees you
in this condition.

She will be disturbed.

Rayanna, come with me..

Rayanna.

Come.

Mr. Kulkarni, get up..

Please sit down.

Why are you doing this?

You haven't shaved my beard
and how can you start with him?

Yes.

I respect people who fight
for their country.

I will shave them first.

You fool.

I was the one who got you here.

When did I disagree to that?

There was no barber,
that's why you got me here.

I'm not your slave.

Now you look better.
- I'll leave, Timanna.

Hey, Rayanna.

Your brother is not good
at his work.

And I can't take it anymore.

You can join him next time.

It's me, Rayanna.

Gangadhar.
- Oh! Gangadhar.

Come in.

Ma'am.

Please have it.

Rayanna, I'm delighted to see you
after five years.

I'm very happy that
you are still alive.

Gangadhar, what is the matter?

Sardar Avaradee Veerappa
has called for you.

Sardar Veerappa.
Where is he now?

Rayanna, from the past five years
Kittur is under those Britishers.

We withstood that pain till now.

Sardar, we can't take it anymore.

Rayanna, I hoped that the soldiers
who were prisoned

would fight against the injustice
towards Kittur Dynasty.

But when all of them
ran away from here.

I realised that being
alive is of no use.

You have misunderstood me, Sardar.

Kittur warriors are not worried
about their life.

Those powerful warriors
have worked along with me.

They will never forget Kittur.

They'll never hesitate to sacrifice
their life for the sake of country.

Tell me how many warriors
do you need?

Rayanna, how many warriors
can join you?

Chanbasanna, Balasaheb of Amaturu.
Belavadi Yellanna, Rudranayaka.

Kareebasappa, Chenayya, Sangolli
Sanganna, Baalanayak from Bastwaad.

Kammaar, Meerasaabee,
Kaaleebhimanna from Chilkund.

Ranahalgee, Hanumanth, Basulingappa
from Hanabaratti.

Bheema from Hugarti, Jaddimani,
Kenchappa from Sangatikoppa.

Appajinaayak from Sutagatti,
Appoji from Tigdolli.

Raanajeekondaa from Majjigada,
Topinkattee Konary.

Nemanna from Kodachaavada,
Jaddimani Fakeraa from Vokkanda.

When these people start marching

they come along with hundreds
of warriors with them.

Well done, Rayanna.

Sardar.

With the help from those warriors
and your suggestions

I'll fight against the Britishers.

Fighting a war
isn't that easy, Rayanna.

What? - They have full control
from Delhi to Rameshwar.

We will have to fight against
the cunning British Company.

We should never
forget that, Rayanna.

Gangadhar, no matter how powerful
their army is, we will fight.

We have the power to chop off
the heads of the opponents.

People of Kittur have been
always good at it.

We are not bothered
to sacrifice our lives.

People who have taken a vow
to free the Kittur Empire.

This place is full of
mettlesome warriors.

Sardar, Kannada people
would never hesitate

to sacrifice their
life for the country.

Rayanna, well done..

Greetings, Rayanna..

This army is trained by us.

Chauvinist, ethnocentric.

Sangolli Rayanna,
will lead you from today.

Each one of you must
follow his orders.

We'll do as you say

Gangadhar, I'm not interested
in being a leader.

We'll all fight together.

Sardar, before our war begins

I want to get blessings
from Chennamma.

Okay.

Chennamma is imprisoned
at Bailhongal Fort.

And it has high security.

It would be difficult
to go there and meet her.

Even we could not reach there.

Gangadhar.

But I've heard that we can go in
dressed as a Swami.

Hail saint Siddheshwar.

Greetings, Swami.

Nayakanahatti Thippeswamy
blesses you.

Why are you staring at me?

Isn't he the same Swami
who came in yesterday.

You guessed it right.

I'm the disciple of the same Swami
who came in yesterday.

My guru is going to Kashi.

He asked me to visit,
that's why I'm here.

I can leave if you don't want me
to get in.

Please don't do that.

Queen Chennamma is waiting for you.
Please get in.

Hail saint Siddheshwar.

Hail saint Siddheshwar.

Hail saint Siddheshwar.

Greetings, Guru.

No, mother, please don't do that.

I'm not the disciple Jingamma Guru.

I'm your son, Rayanna.

Rayanna, my child.

You are an erudite warrior.

And a dedicated disciple too.

Mother, please don't cry.

Rayanna, how is that possible?

We have abandoned the people
of Kittur Kingdom.

Mother, your son is alive.

I will get the Kittur Empire
out of darkness.

Mother, I've taken a vow
to free the Empire.

Rayanna, will you be able
to fulfil this wish?

It will be surely fulfilled.

Numerous warriors are ready
for the battle.

Avaradee Veerappa and Gangadhar

have built an army in the jungle.
And are ready for the battle.

They are eagerly waiting
for the battle.

Is it, Rayanna?

Mom, don't worry.
I have met them.

I'm here for your permission
to head the battle.

Take this.

We don't need them.

I just need your blessings.

Rayanna, you need them to prepare
your army for the battle.

Please take them.

My kid.

Rayanna, if you feel like you need
any additional help.

You can meet
the King of Shivagutti, my father.

You will surely get some help.

Please show this ring to my father.

Warrior, may you win this battle.

Ma'am, I'll leave.

Sardar.

Chennamma has sent these valuables,
to use it for battle preparation.

Take this.

I want to gather the warriors
and fight the Britishers.

And I've taken a vow to release
Queen Chennamma from the prison.

Rayanna, please don't rush.

Britishers have kept an eye on you.

You should never forget that.

But I can't sit idle
fearing about that.

Rayanna, we are right in the middle
of a storm now.

We need to plan carefully
to reach the shore.

What do you mean?

Pretend that you have
forgotten everything.

The work which has been inherited
by your ancestors.

Please continue that.

No, that's impossible.

Even after witnessing
the condition of Kittur Empire

I will never do that work.

Rayanna, if you want to elude
the Britishers' eye on you

you have to continue that work.

You can work there for sometime

and when you are free,
work on strengthening your army.

Rayanna, if you don't go there.

All our dreams will be shattered.

Please listen to me.
Go back to Sangolli.

Okay.

I will try that too.

Sardar, I'll leave now.
- Okay.

Go on, Rayanna.

Everyone, please listen to this.

For 10 acres of land
Rs. 2 extra need to be paid as tax.

Listen, everyone.

I asked you to pay taxes.
- Mr. Kulkarni.

What is this?

Please be quiet.

Don't show off, sit quietly.

Oh, God. - Gowda..
- Hey!

Filthy guys,
you spread filth everywhere.

Why do you need agricultural land
when you can't pay taxes?

Don't forget that we need
to pay the taxes on time.

Pay the taxes..

Thimmanna, why this injustice?

Mr. Kulkarni, please don't
do this to us.

Please don't..

Pay the taxes.

Hey, Mr. Kulkarni?
Why are you doing this?

Is this how you torture
the villagers who don't pay taxes?

Rayanna, if I don't collect
the extra taxes

then the lenders will attack me.

Let them attack.

How will they know
about the villagers' condition?

You need to explain it to them.

Raya!

Raya!

If these farmers are provoked
then you'll not be spared.

Not only you but the Government too
will not survive.

Our villagers can't pay the dues
if they suddenly raise the taxes.

You are right.

Pay the yearly taxes
after harvesting your grains.

You people can leave now.

Hey Rayanna, if we don't do this
then villagers won't concede.

If you continue doing this
then villagers will beat you up.

How should I explain this to you?

Rayanna, your agricultural land
has been measured.

It's actually 3 times larger
than the real one.

So for next six years
you need to pay extra.

They have ordered us
to collect 32 Rupees.

Hey, Fakeera!
Listen to me.

My grandfather Rogappa didn't pay,
similarly my father Barahmanna too.

And now I'll not pay,
let me see what happens.

Rayanna, listen to me.

During King's reign we could do
whatever we want.

But now the company
is running the Empire.

If we don't agree to their demands
we'll lose our land.

That won't happen.

If they increase the taxes
unnecessarily then I won't pay.

I've conveyed the message,
rest is left to you.

Rayanna is interfering a lot.

Greetings, Rayanna.

Gowda, it's late and he hasn't..

Greetings, Gowda.

Take this envelope.

By evening this envelope
should reach Sampgavvi's officer.

Okay.

Raya.

Kaarkun's Govindappa
needs vegetables, deliver them.

Mr. Kulkarni, I'm not his slave
to shop vegetables for him.

You can do it yourself.

Hey fool! Why did you come
empty handed?

Empty handed?
I have the envelope with me.

Don't try to act smart.
Where are the usual stuff?

I asked Mr. Kulkarni
for vegetables, didn't you get it?

I don't know.

I'm not your slave
to get vegetables for you.

This is too much.
You are acting too much.

Go and give this to the officer.

Are you Rayanna?

Yes.

Hey Raya! Why are you interfering
in the village's matters?

Why are you getting irritated now?
What have I done?

You gathered people
against paying taxes.

You fought with Mr. Kulkarni
and also threatened him to kill.

Yes, I agree that I fought
regarding the issue of taxes.

But I never tried to kill him.

Does that mean that
Mr. Kulkarni is lying?

Yes, sir.
He tortures people.

Productivity of crops is less
due shortage of rainfall.

How can they pay taxes?

You will feel sorry
if you see their condition now.

Shut your mouth.

You are forgetting that
you work under Mr. Kulkarni.

Why are you manipulating?

Officer, please don't listen
to criticism made by others.

Raya, I need not listen
to a normal soldier.

Officer, there shouldn't be
any discrimination among people

One should have the right mind-set.

Raya, don't talk rubbish.

We have Mr. Kulkarni
to take the decisions.

And above me we have a Collector
to take decisions.

You said the right thing.

Yes we have everyone, but for what?

To follow the orders
of the British company.

Not for the sake of people.

Raya, don't forget that
you are talking to an officer.

Sir, there is no need
to be terrified.

Why should I worry if I'm right?

I would like to tell you something.

I won't be quiet if you try
to torture normal people.

You have the power
only because of people.

Otherwise there is nothing.

Hey, Raya! Are you trying
to revolt against me?

You have become egoistic.
I need to take care of that.

You cannot do that.

Hey! Come in.

Put this egoistic person
in the jail.

Hey..

Take him away.

Rayanna.

You guys refused to pay the taxes.

Hey! Beat them.

Oh my God!

Greetings.

Please come..

Where is your son, Raya?

It's been three days since
I last saw him.

I don't how or where he is.

I didn't call you here
to listen to your sad story.

If your son keeps loafing around

will his dead father pay
the taxes?

Old Kenchi..

You rascal!

Hold your tongue.
You rascal.

My husband never called me
by my first name.

Who are you to call me Kenchi?

How dare you talk
to Mr. Kulkarni in this way?

If you talk again,
I'll scrape your face.

You have been spared
because you said these to me.

You will face the consequences
if you say this in front of my son.

He would have ripped you apart
and made slippers from your skin.

Slippers?
- Yes.

Would he get slippers done
from my skin?

Egoistic people like you
should never be pardoned.

Pay your taxes right now.

I will not pay.

If you don't pay now,
then I'll have to punish you.

We aren't scared of your punishment
as we belong to a brave family.

You are a slave to the britishers.

What do you know about respect?

Hey, Fakeera.
- Mr. Kulkarni.

This old lady is very egoistic.

Why are you staring at me?
Punish her.

Hey, put those stones on her.

Come on.
Come on, you scoundrels.

Let me see how powerful
you guys are.

Hey! Put them on her.

Oh, my God!

Hey, Mr. Kulkarni..

This is too much.

You are trying to torture everyone
as you have the political power.

Hey, Gowda!
Sit quietly.

Don't pretend to be a saviour.

This job is not easy.

You should always
showcase your power.

Gowda should always be very strict,
not lenient like you.

Go away, you idiot.
- Mr.Kulkarni.

How can you disrespect people
who have fought for their country?

You will be ruined.

Why should I work in a place
where no one respects me?

It's not worthy working here,
why would someone work here?

I quit, you can continue.

Hey, Balya!

Come on, you idiot.
You were the one missing here.

You, scoundrel.

You are punishing my old Aunt?
How dare you?

You scumbag!
- If you don't pay the taxes.

I don't care.
May it be your aunt or your mother

all are equal.
- Hey, Balya!

I will be her nominee.
You remove those stones.

Chanbassu, don't do that.

Hey! You better obey my words.

Otherwise, I'll chop your head off.

Remove that.

Aunt.

Aunt.

Channabassu.
- Aunt.

Hey, Balya!

Hey! Let my son Rayanna come.

I'll ask him to behead you.

You'll never succeed in your life.
Your life will be ruined.

I'll behead you..

Rayanna, all this happened
on that day.

I'm in the jail now.

Otherwise I would have beheaded
that Kulkarni and hanged his head.

I am the guarantee for your release
and you'll be released soon.

You were very helpful, Gowda.

Hey, Raya.

I have released you
on the guarantee of Gowda.

Do you think you are free
once you are released?

Don't forget that you are still
accused of crime.

We can put you in jail
anytime we want.

Henceforth, be a good slave.

Don't interfere
in the village matters.

And if you try to disturb
Mr. Kulkarni's work

then you will have to spend
the rest of your life in jail.

Hey, officer!

Without understanding the reality,
you trusted Balya's words.

The people who have forced
me into jail

and this government which
tortures people, I'll not spare.

I will fight back.

Are you proud that
you are ruling Kittur Dynasty?

I won't spare Mr. Kulkarni,
who is collecting extra taxes

from the people of my village.

My only aim
is to free the Kittur Empire.

That is my motto.
That is my only vow.

Hey, Balya.

Rayanna..

Kulkarni is like a fatherly figure
to the people in the village.

Rayanna.

We are like slaves to them,
we can't go against them.

Aunt.

I cannot live a ill repute life
with no respect.

Don't let anger
influence your decisions.

Father, be quiet.
Why do you talk like slaves?

Let's face Mr. Kulkarni.
Uncle, I want to..

Rayanna, kill that Balya.

Rayanna, he is troubling
the farmers a lot.

Rayanna, kill that Kulkarni.

Hey, Balya.

Hey, Kulkarni!
Did I try to kill you?

N-No..

Then why did you lie
and send me to jail?

Why did you punish my mother
when I wasn't around?

Hey, Balya!

Rayanna.

You are like a brother
to the ladies in the village.

Are you not my brother?

Please forgive his mistake
and save me from becoming a widow.

Please don't kill my husband.

Hey, Kulkarni!

You are alive because of your wife.

You'll survive if you reform.

If not you'll be killed.

Okay.
I'll do as you wish.

Kulkarni, I'm with you.

Why are you so terrified?

He is just a small soldier.

You can't consider him
as normal soldier.

Don't forget, a spark neglected
can burn the house.

If we let that Rayanna free,
then we will lose our value.

Kulkarni! You don't worry.

I will talk to Dharwad's collector
about his matter.

I will make sure
that he'll not trouble us.

Mother, if a small village
like Sangolli

is being tortured
by people like Kulkarni.

then this Government might be
harassing the whole nation.

If we wait for some more time,
then people will be tortured.

Rayanna, that should not happen.

We need to gather our men and try

and bring freedom to Kittur.

Rayanna, you can do anything
for your country.

I'll help you as much as I can.

May you be victorious.

Win this battle.

I'll leave now, Mom.

Let's protect it."

"Ours is a brave nation.

"Let's be valiant
in our motherland."

Rayanna, I and my accomplices
will always join you

in your venture
against the British.

Your words have brought me joy.
I'll never forget your help.

Bye, Rayanna..

"The men of Karnataka
are lion-hearted."

"Our land and culture
will always be ours."

I don't do anything
without everyone's consent.

Look, we're not asking
for help for our sake.

We're asking
for the sake of the nation.

I agree. That's true.

Though we're dacoits,
we'll help you.

You must give us a share
of the money that you find.

We're not here to loot the nation.
We want to free Kittur.

You can join us if you wish.
Or else, let it go.

Let's go, Chennabassu.

Dad, this is a good omen.
Let's join them.

Let's loot in Rayanna's name
and keep it a secret.

Rayanna!

Look, we'll join you
as you have spoken out openly.

Bapu, once you join us

you must follow
the rules of our group.

Okay. Hey..

"It's a crime

"Let's be valiant
in our motherland."

Sardar, I have gathered
people as I promised.

They are ready to die
for the sake of Kittur. Look!

Way to go, Rayanna..

I feel as strong as
a hundred elephants.

I bow before your love

for the province of Kittur.

Hail Guru Siddesha.
- Greetings, sir. Go in.

Hail Lord Shiva.

Hail Lord Shiva..

Sir, Rayanna isn't as simple
as you think.

He's a tough guy.
- Yes, sir.

He's a very brave guy.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have braved

and intruded your security,
met Chennamma for her advice

and prepare troops
in order to dethrone you.

Mr. Krishna Rao,
the matter is very serious.

We'll start our plan
to revolt against him.

You must send out
spies everywhere.

They must observe his movements
and report it to me.

Okay. - Go on and do it.

The time is here
for the Nandi flag to be

hoisted again on
top of Kittur fort.

I wish to see it

just once in my eyes.

It's easy to dream

but difficult
to make it come to reality.

Chennamma, it's impossible
for Kittur to be free.

People like you who don't know
the meaning of self-respect

will never know
the power of patriotism.

You would never understand it.

My dear Sangolli Rayanna
will prove to the entire world

that the people of Karnataka
are always independent.

Is it? Your belief is destroyed.

My soldiers have shot Rayanna.
- That's a lie!

Destroying unity, breaking trust

and breaking a person's morale
in a tough situation

is a born character of Britishers.

I have no need to lie to you.

Rayanna can neither be captured
so easily nor be killed.

We can't modify one's fate.

I'm telling you the truth.

Here's the proof that he's dead.

Rayanna was here to meet you.
He was caught by our soldiers.

When he tried to escape,
he was shot down.

It was our duty to inform you.

You can either believe us
or let it go.

Rayanna..

You were the light of hope
for the people of Kittur.

But you have died..

My dear..

You were on a mission
to free you motherland.

You were trapped
by those scumbags.

You have been killed
by the Britishers..

Guru Siddesha..

Guru Siddesha

won't you show mercy
towards Kittur?

Wouldn't you bless
Rayanna's troops?

What must I do in such a situation?

What must I do..

"Hail Lord Shiva.."

"Hail Lord Shiva.."

"Hail Lord Shiva.."

Aunt..
- Aunt..

Aunt! - Aunt!

Aunt! - Aunt!

Hail..

Hail Lord Shiva..

Aunt..
- Aunt..

Mom! Mother, Chennamma..

You are the one who should
take care of Kittur.

Now that you've died,
why should I battle?

Don't lose hope, Rayanna.

Chennabassu,
our efforts have gone in vain.

Where are you going, Rayanna?
- I'm going to see Chennamma.

Don't, Rayanna..
There's tight security.

If you go there,
you'll be captured.

I don't even have the opportunity
to look at her face.

Hey, Rayanna..

Don't..

Look here..

You must not lose hope
in such a situation.

Mr. Veerappa, tell him..

Rayanna, don't worry..

You must fill yourself
with courage..

All my courage
and determination left me

the moment I heard
about her death..

Rayanna..

If you lose hope, the people
who follow you are left alone.

Her soul is going to give you
100 times more inspiration

than she did
by staying in the prison.

Get up! Pick up your sword.

Take a stand!

Sardar is right, Rayanna.

Don't forget that it's your duty
to fulfil Chennamma dream.

You must pick up
the sword that she gave you

and behead the enemies.
Protect the nation, Rayanna.

Hey.. Get up..

Let's battle under her adopted
son Shivalingappa's guidance.

Hold on to your sword.

Remember the promise
that you made her.

Rayanna, you must've been born
in the province of Kittur

especially in my womb.

I could've lived in peace.

Kittur could've stayed rich

and safe under your rule.

Mom,
I'm always indebted to Kittur.

I'm a son to my motherland.

I'll always fight
for you and this province

until a single drop of blood
is left in my body.

I wish to be born here no matter
how many times I am reborn.

I wish to be born
as your son in my next life.

I'll pray to Lord Beerappa
that my wish be fulfilled.

"Hail Lord Shiva."

Sardar, let's not wait anymore.

Let's start our battle against
the British from this instant.

Rayanna

we need weapons
to fight the British.

We need help from trained soldiers.
- Don't worry about it.

I'll leave for Shivaguthi now
and seek help from the king.

Chennabassu!
- Rayanna?

Leave immediately
and bring the prince.

Rayanna, my only daughter
is held captive in a prison.

Though I know about it,
I'm not able to do anything.

I feel happy to learn

about my daughter's well-being
from you.

I have no idea
about what I should do

in such a situation.

Sir, if you want the Nandi flag
to be hoisted on Kittur fort

you must help us.

Rayanna, this is a Mughal province.
The emperor works for the British.

Shivaguthi is under his rule.

A dacoit called Hokkala Bharma
from Kanakanuru

has been invading our province
along with his accomplices.

Sir, if you permit me,
I'll kill Hokkala Bharma.

Rayanna, it's not fair to put
our guest in danger.

I won't be in trouble
if I have your blessings, sir.

Don't worry. Give me your consent.

Sir, God himself has sent Rayanna

to destroy Bharma.

Our province will become safe
if you permit him.

Rayanna, you have my consent.
You can take my troops with you.

Return victorious.

No, sir. I'll go by myself.

Rayanna, you must take my troops
if you don't want me to worry.

As you wish, sir.

Sir.. - Yes, Shivappa?

Okay. We shall do as you say.

You can go, Rayanna.

Hey, Barmya!

Finish your lunch soon.

It's me.
Sangolli Rayanna.

Anyhow it's noon.
Why don't you join for lunch?

I'm done.

I shall wait for you to finish.

If you're from Kittur.
I belong to a Mughal clan.

Why did you come here?

To exterminate you.

Just like you,
many warriors

failed to defeat me.

I have come here
to witness your greatness.

Is it?

Then come.
Let's battle.

Barmya!
My troop is over there.

You troop is here.

Let us not shed their blood.

It's okay.
Let's fight, one on one.

During the fight,
if I die

my troop shall accept
you as their leader.

If you die, your troop
should accept me as their leader.

They should come with me,
as well.

I'm born to fight.
I'm okay with this truce.

Come on.

When we are engaged in this fight

none of you must interfere.

You came in search of a favour.

But you ended up
solving our problem.

You have brought
relief to our kingdom.

This is your greatness.

All hail Sangolli Rayanna!

All hail Sangolli Rayanna!

Rayanna!
I bow my head for your patriotism.

We shall provide maximum support
from our end.

Your Majesty!

I can never forget the support
provided by you

to get rid of those Britishers
from our country.

Let your patriotism
prevail victory.

Let Kittur get freedom
from clutches of these foreigners.

I will be honoured.
- May God bless you.

Take this.
You can go, Rayanna.

Look at these troops, sir.

You're great, Rayanna.

Please, step aside.
- Rayanna!

Greetings, Prince.
- Greetings.

Your dedication and patriotism
towards liberalization

has made me dumbstruck.

I will be in your mercy, forever.
- Please don't say that.

Now it's the right time
to pay my tribute.

That's it.

Rayanna!

Halt!

I think Rayanna's settlement
is over there.

This is the right time to kill
Rayanna and his gang.

Come on. Spread.
Fire!

Fire!

What?

Hail Lord Shiva!

Rayanna!
All these bodies belong to them.

Rayanna!

Few of them managed to escape
along with that officer.

But..

Rayanna!

Any casualties?

No. But, it's not safe
for us to stay here.

We shall evacuate, immediately.
- But, where shall we go?

To Handi Badaganath.

Greetings!
- May God bless you.

Your highness!
As you're a hermit.

Please guide us in a suitable way

to overpower these
foreigners and provide

immense strength to fight
against them.

Your highness! We need a favour.
- Please tell me, Rayanna.

You must take the responsibility
to safeguard our prince.

Sure.
It would be my pleasure.

May God bless you.
- We can never forget this favour.

Rayanna!
No matter what happens

don't surrender
this sword to anyone.

Take it.
Let victory be with you.

Damn!

Just like the legendary Bakasura

Rayanna is on the path
of destruction.

Mr. Krishna Rao!

Rayanna is uneducated,
he was just a postman.

But how could he plan
a guerrilla warfare.

I don't know, sir.
But, he is very intelligent.

That's why,
we have to use our tactics

to break that
intelligence and his struggle.

Greetings, sir.

There is a rumour about
Rayanna's presence in Nandgad.

Greetings, sir.

There is a news about
Rayanna's arrival at Kittur.

What is this, Rayanna?

In front of everybody

you spoke about Nandgad,
Kittur and Khanapur.

Won't you think it would be easy
for those foreigners to catch us?

The reason behind your suspicion
was because of these people.

Are you talking about these people?

Those foreigners think
that they can break our unity.

But we have tactics
to infiltrate their army.

They have performed this feat.

Currently, their troops
have scattered to different places.

Now, we're even.

What should we do now?

It's time to deviate.

To where?

Samphaghavi.

"This is the land of warriors."

"The is the abode of fighters."

"This is the land of warriors.
The is the abode of fighters."

"This fight is for the people."

"This struggle
is for our survival."

"It's time to revolt
against humiliation."

"We won't rest, until we behead
every one of these traitors."

"This is the land of warriors.
The is the abode of fighters."

"The humiliation we faced
at the mercy of British."

"It's time for retaliation."

"Service towards one's country
is equal to worshiping God."

"Let's sacrifice our life
for the country."

"Let's revolutionise the movement."

"Destroy the targets."

"Let's revolutionise the movement,
destroy the targets."

"The revolution has begun."

"It's time for the freedom fighters
to celebrate the movement."

"They launched a strike
without fear."

"Fuelled with courage,
they beheaded the evil."

"This is the land of warriors.
The is the abode of fighters."

"This is the land of warriors.
The is the abode of fighters."

Sarkar!
- Prince!

Sarkar!

Sarkar!
- Get up.

Take your hands off me.
- Come with us.

You bloody brute!
Take your hands off me.

"They are a bunch of cheaters."

"It's time to exterminate."

"Motherland is important
than their own mother."

"One can't stop the abuse
and corruption."

"He approaches like a lightning."

"He started a revolution."

"He approaches like a lightning.
He started a revolution."

"A new movement has begun."

"It's time to terminate traitors,
without mercy."

"Courage is born in a coward."

"The blaze has
destroyed the forces."

Sir!

Sangolli Rayanna's rage
is intolerable.

Sir!

Issue a shoot at sight order.

If not

it does not take much time
for him to reach here.

He will kill us and throw
our bodies into a river.

Sir!
Give a shoot at sight order.

No!

We don't have
the permission to assassinate him.

But, we can't sit like this.

Mr. Krishna Rao.

Money can separate
children from its mother.

Likewise

these fighters
will fall for the money.

So, what next?

Let's put a bounty of
Rs. 10,000 on his head.

Spread the word across villages.

For the lust of money,
they will surely catch him.

Let's start the plan.

Listen to me.

Whoever can catch Sangolli Rayanna

are rewarded handsomely
by the government.

Listen to me..
- Hey!

Why are you hitting me.
I'm just a messenger.

Help me!

Please, help me.
Hey, please leave me alone.

Hey, stop running.
- Leave me alone.

Hey!

Why are you chasing me?

Please, spare my life.
- Hey!

Are you being an informant
to the government?

Forgive me.
- I will kill you.

Please, forgive me.

Dear!

Oh, my God!
What happened?

Please, wake up.
Who did this murder?

Speak to me. Please.

All hail Sangolli Rayanna!

All hail Sangolli Rayanna!

All hail Sangolli Rayanna!

Hey, Rayanna!

Did my husband
interfere in your affairs?

Why did you allow your men
to kill my husband.

Answer me, Rayanna.

I'm not the reason
for his death.

You killed an innocent soul.

You all are traitors.
You won't survive for long.

Let your generations end here.

Hey, Rayanna!

I shall witness the moment
when you're hanged.

I will definitely see it.

I'll witness that!

Rayanna, this malfeasance
is committed by Bhandari Babu.

He did it using your name.

Bhandari Babu.

Hey!

Take it!

Go!

Go and enjoy!

Hey!

Hey! - Hey!

Hey!

Hey!
- Hey! - Hey! - Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

Hey, Rayanna! - Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

Rayanna..

I surrender.

You say something
and you think something else!

You're a vicious person!

You cannot live anymore!

You stepped over
the rules of our people.

You went after wealth
and broke your word!

The one who betrayed his land

shouldn't bleed on that land!

Where is Shivalingappa?

He's Shivalingappa,
the prince of Kittur!

Hello!

Where is that rebel?

He's in the veins of his enemies!

He's in the hearts
of the people of this land!

Arrest him!

Nisbeth..

It's your wishful thinking
that you'll kill me and be happy.

I'll kill you all before I die.

I'm determined to die for my land.

But can you die for your queen?

I have not grown
on others' mercy.

I grew up by working hard
and with a strong body.

You work for salary.

But we.. We work for our land.

We will die for our land.

Burn me down
if you have guts to do it.

Burn me!

This body won't burn
even if you try to burn it.

What can you do
once we surrender?

Let the prince go.

Or else, I'll kill you on the spot!

Drop the weapons!

You get the courage
from the bullets.

We get the courage
from fearlessness!

Nisbeth.

The one who fears
for his life doesn't revolt.

And a rebel doesn't fear guns.

Prince.

Come over here.

It was my responsibility
to take back my prince safely.

That is the reason
I've held myself back.

Or else, I would have killed
you all like you did to my leader!

I will be the God of Death to you!

"He's a brave warrior!
He's fearless!"

Shit!
- "He is a brave hero!"

Sir, they're willing
to arrest Rayanna for us.

But, they're asking
what they will gain of it.

It's not wrong to ask.

Without profit, no one would

like to do anything.

If you catch Rayanna for us

then our Government will

give you Rs. 10,000 as reward

they will honour you

and they'll give you 300 acres
of irrigated land as well.

Are you being truthful..

Mr. Venkanna Gowda. - Yes, sir?

Mr. Linganna Gowda.

We're not the people
who go back on their words.

We don't believe that..

Why? Why do you doubt us?

You guys told Mallapa Shetty
and Venkat Rao

that if you win
the second battle of Kittur

you said you'd give ruling
of Kittur to them!

But after you won, you killed them!

This is the truth
that transpired before us!

You've raised a good point.

The one to kill those two

is Pune Political Agent and
that time's Dharwad Collector

Mr. Chaplin.

But, now the one
giving you this word

is the present Dharwad
Collector Nisbeth.

And the Political Agent Bieber.

You sure are!

But we have to trust you, don't we.

Mr. Krishna Rao.. - Yes, sir!

Look at this.
This is an agreement paper.

Both of them will sign it.

But, you shouldn't go back
on your word.

We won't..

Okay then!

Sir, sign it.

Give me!

Here you go.

Hey, Lakappa!

Why do you work so hard?

Opportunity like this
won't come again.

Don't push away the fortune
that's come to you!

But, I'm afraid!

We're getting a reward.

On top of that,
you're getting irrigated land!

You can become a Landlord!

Tell me what I should do!
- This! This is the way to live!

Rayanna is your relative.

He trusts you, doesn't he?
- He does!

But still..

Don't worry!

We'll come along with you!

Bala.

What is it, Rayanna?

I saw the prince
in my dream last night.

I can't go and have a look
at him in this situation.

At least you go
and see how he's doing.

Okay.
- I'll leave now.

Don't go now and return quickly.

Be with them for a few days
and inquire about their well-being.

Okay.

Rayanna!

Come, uncle. - Rayanna!

How are you?

Did you now get the thought
of joining the group?

What else to do?

I'm a very experienced man.

I have to take actions
considering everything.

Rayanna, I didn't come alone.

Linganna Gowda
and Venkanna Gowda have also come

along with their men
to join your group.

I'll get them
if you give me permission.

What are you saying?
Get them! - Yes! I'll get them!

Rayanna.

For some reason I don't feel
it's right to let them to join us.

It's not wise to say no to those
who've voluntarily come to help.

Don't. I beg of you.

They are cunning people.

Channabasava,
they're good people too!

Or else they wouldn't have come.

Hey, Channabasava.

We follow the path
that Rayanna walks on.

We should support his decision!

Is it not the right thing to do?

No.

Even if we're not related by blood

we've grown up as brothers.

Even if he's hurt a bit,
it pains me a lot.

Channabasava.

Rayanna!

I've told him about you!

Don't worry!

Come on..

Greetings. - Greetings..
- Linganna and Venkanna.

I'm very happy that
you came to join our group!

We're also people of Kittur.

This is the time to pay that debt.

That's why we took the courage
to be here.. - Wonderful!

Hundreds of people in Ambadagatti
have decided to join us.

They said, they'll come if someone
they know comes to get them.

Channabasava,
go to Ambadagatti and get them!

No, Rayanna.

I won't move from your side.

Channabasava.

Why are you acting like a child?

Do as Rayanna says..
- Stop!

I won't go!

You are not the only one
to care about Rayanna!

Do you think we don't
care about him?

I won't listen to anyone.

I will do as I like.

Channabasava

You know the people of Ambadagatti.

They'll come only if you go.

If our group grows,
so does our strength.

Yes.

Okay.

I'll go.

That's good.

Rayanna, come eat with us.

You guys eat first. I'll eat later.

Uncle, you also sit.

I'll serve you food.

My body is all sweaty.

I'll go, have a bath and then eat.

Come on. I'll come with you.

Come then!

My body feels light after bathing.

Give me the sword, I'll hold it.

Oh, God! Rayanna! Run away!

British soldiers have come!
Don't let them catch you!

Escape!
- Hey! Why are you running!

Give me my sword!
- Run, Rayanna!

Chenna Sir!

Where are you..

What happened?

The foreign gang
have captured Rayanna!

Lakappa!

Are you speaking the truth?
- Yes.

Yes. This sword
answers your question.

Rayanna!

No! No!

Rayanna has ordered us to evade
capture from the foreigners.

That's his order!

Run! Run!
- Praise the lord!

Wait. We have been ordered
not to shoot Rayanna.

Okay..

Rayanna!

Gajavira! Don't come here or else..
Go away!

Gajavira!

Gajavira!

Linga, go tell Channabasava
to evade capture

from these foreign dogs!

Rayanna..

Sangolli Raya..
- Curse your lives!

Shut your mouth.

You were boasting
that you are the Son of Kittur.

Did you see how easily
we captured you?

Damn you, traitors!

You came in the guise
of helping us and ruined our lives!

Shut up, you loudmouth!

Do you think we are fools?

We would have got nothing,
if we had helped you.

Only scraps..

We are getting 300 acres of land
and Rs 10,000 for helping them.

You fell to the temptations
of the foreigners

and betrayed your own motherland,
you bastards!

You have shattered the dreams
of the people of our country.

You have betrayed your motherland.
May your family rot in hell!

May your tongues be cut out
from your mouths!

Are you cursing us?
- Take him away.

Rayanna!

Raya..
- Mom..

What happened, mom?

I have a bad feeling..

That..
That my Rayanna is in trouble.

No, mom.
Nothing can happen to him.

Has nothing happened to him?
- No.

You sleep peacefully.

Nothing has happened..

Oh, God!

Please don't take
the life of my son

who is fighting for his motherland.

My lord!

All the documents related
to Rayanna's crimes

of treason, dacoity and murder
are on the table next to you.

I request you
to scrutinize the documents

and provide justice
to the people here today.

Rayanna,
you must speak the truth.

Will you grant freedom
to our country if I tell the truth?

We are the ones asking
the questions here.

And it's your duty to answer them,
the accused.

I haven't committed any crime.

Rayanna..

You went against
the Company's regime.

Wasn't it a crime to make
Chenamma's adopted son

Shivalingappa,
as the king of Kittur?

No! How is it a crime if I try
to reinstate the rightful heir

of our motherland?

Killing the members of the court..

Looting the Company's wealth.
Weren't these crimes?

Company's money!
Company's money!

Did you bring it from your country?

It's our country's money.
It isn't a crime to get it back.

You invaded the Kittur palace
and looted our wealth.

You committed a crime.
Not me.

You killed Chenamma mercilessly,
who was looking after

the people of Kittur
like her own children.

That's a crime!

You invaded Kannada soil,
conquered us by force

bent the will of our leaders
and ruined our motherland!

That's a crime!

How is it a crime if we fight
for our country's freedom?

That isn't a crime.
It's patriotism!

But..

You have ruined
the lives of many people

who led a peaceful life.

No! I haven't ruined anyone's life.

But..
It has been ruined by traitors.

Our land of Kittur has been ruined
by friends and traitors!

You won't have a peaceful life,
but the life of a slave!

That's why I rioted.

Unlike you, the state government

hasn't committed the crimes
of rioting and insurgency.

A lot of good
has been done for you.

What have you done for us?
What are you boasting about?

Haven't we built schools
to improve education?

To shun our language
and to bring yours to limelight.

You built them for your relatives
and friends to study.

That isn't all.

You built them to prepare slaves
for your offices and accounts.

Not for our improvement!

People here moved
around like animals.

Haven't we built roads
in your country? - Yes.

You are scared
to walk on our roads.

You did it so that your soldiers
and officers can move freely.

You built roads to show
our country's wealth as yours.

Haven't we built hospitals
for the welfare of the people?

Hospital?

Hello, sir! The soil
of this land has healing powers!

The water which flows
from Sahayadri hills

is like a nectar.

That's our Malaprabha river!

You stole our herbs and medicines
and opened hospitals

to make money..

Not to cure us!

Rayanna,
this is your adamant nature.

Also, our government has brought

order and civilization
to your land.

Civilization?
Do you think you taught us that?

Our country had known civilization
before your country was born!

When you didn't know about clothes,
we were making muslin cloth!

When you couldn't utter a word,
we were writing scriptures!

Epics like Ramayana
and Mahabharatha were written here.

This is a sacred land!

All the great scriptures
were written here!

How did you bring
civilization to us?

This is self-treachery, sir.
Self-treachery!

Rayanna..

The government
has put you on trial

for murder, dacoity,
rebellion and treason.

That's the accusation.

Judge!

How can I be a traitor?
Did I ever come to England?

I am not a rebel.
I am revolutionary!

I formed a gang to fight against
the treacherous lords

who enslaved the people of Kittur.

I am not a plunderer.
I am a patriot!

I robbed the bastards who tried
to steal our country's wealth!

I am not a murderer.
I am a common man.

But the ones
whom I murdered were traitors!

The ones who are at fault
but blaming it on us

is the Company!
Down to the Company!

Down! Down!

Order..
- Down..

This court is adjourned.

There is nothing
left to think about.

We can't give the death penalty
to a patriot like him.

Mr. Collector. We have risked our
lives to aid in Rayanna's capture.

If you don't hang him,
he will torture and kill us!

Or else, you will be killing
the ones who helped you.

Mr. Linganagowda

we'll discuss about it.
You can go rest now.

Okay, sir.
- Thank you, sir.

The days between December 16, 1830

to December 18, 1830..

after examining the evidence

Rayanna and his gang

have been deemed as murders

traitors and dacoits.

They have been found guilty
of high treason.

Order..

Six members of Rayanna's gang

Rudranayaka, Yellanayaka, Appoji

Ranojikonda, Konery and Nemanna.

have been sentenced
to life imprisonment.

Also, the remaining members
of Rayanna's gang

Balanayaka, Basavalingappa,
Karibasappa

Bhimappa,
Kenchappa and Appajinayaka

are being sentenced to death.

The main proprietor
of these crimes, Rayanna

has been accused of the crimes
of dacoity, murder and treason.

On January 26, 1831

Rayanna will be hanged.

This is the court's decision.

Order..

Sir!

Curse your decision.

But I have a request.

The people of Nandgad
supported our cause by helping us.

I want to be hanged there,
in front of those people.

Okay. Your wish is granted.

Kannada's Kittur!
- May it live forever!

Chenamma's soul!
- May it live forever!

"The sunlight in the palace
reflects like silver!"

"It's a house
whose eyes are scourged!"

"Do you have the strength for it?"

"Your sacrifice is my story!"

"I sing about the game of fate!"

"Oh, Raya! What's this story?"

"The sunlight in the palace
reflects like silver!"

"It's a house whose
eyes are scourged!"

"The vision of patriotism
has been lost!"

"You became a victim of deceit!"

"The fate of our motherland
has been written!"

"Why don't you show yourself?"

"Our land is beautiful,
the sky is absolute!"

"Why don't you show yourself?"

"Faith is righteous!
Might is right!"

"Why did you become a prisoner?"

"For you, I devoted myself!"

"Veerappa! I have lost myself!"

"Why did you go afar?"

"Rayanna! I have lost my voice!"

"The sunlight in the palace
reflects like silver!"

"It's a house
whose eyes are scourged!"

"The bond of friendship
has been broken!"

"Your memory is haunting me!"

"The deeds of treachery
have ruined us!"

"Your memory deluges my thoughts!"

"Patriotism is righteous!
Principle in life is a must!"

"Why have you left us?"

"A brave fighter!
An amazing friend!"

"Why have you been lost to us?"

"For you, I devoted myself!"

"Veerappa! I have lost myself!"

"Why did you go afar?"

"Rayanna! I have lost my voice!"

"You incited patriotism
in our hearts!"

Why have you become silent?

"I have been stunned!"

"You are a celestial being!"

"You trusted the words of fiends
and became their victim!"

Hey, Raya!

Do you know who I am?

Do you know who I am?

You got my husband killed
and turned me into a widow.

You will be hanged in front of me.

My curse has come true!

My curse has come true.

Uncle!
- Rayanna!

Mother?
- My Raya!

Leave her.

Rayanna! Rayanna! Raya!

My Son!
- Why, Mother?

Mother.
- Raya..

The time has come for the noose
to be tied around your neck.

But you're standing
without a trace of fear..

You're such a brave man!

How can they hang
a person like you?

How can they hang
a person like you?

Mother.. These people strangled
the mother of Kittur.

It isn't hard for them to kill me.

No, Son. No!

Children mustn't die
in front of their parents!

I wanted to die
in front of your eyes.

I wanted you to bury me!

But you..

You are leaving
your mother behind

and going without her, Raya.

How is this right?

How is this right?
How is this right?

No, Mother. Don't cry.

You gave birth to me
for the sake of the country.

I didn't commit any crime
to deserve this punishment.

I tried to save my country
and I am being martyred for it.

It doesn't matter if I die.

You have another son.
You have a grandson.

But..

Raya.. My Raya!

My Raya!
How can I live without you?

Take all of them to the gallows.

No, Mother. Don't cry.

Bless your son
and send him happily.

How can I bless you..

Raya!
- Uncle..

Rayanna.

I am humbled by your patriotism.

What's your final wish?

Sir.. I have a final
message for my countrymen.

Okay.

Gentlemen..

Ladies..

My people..

Thank you for the respect
which you have shown.

Patriots and freedom fighters

fought to save the land of Kittur
from foreign rule.

But..

Like a mother poisoning
her own children..

Our own people betrayed us.

Many people lost their lives
in the struggle.

Many were captured.

They sentenced us to die
and marched us in the village.

These so called business men
betrayed us.

Why? To incite fear in you.

So that no one must revolt again.

Freedom fighters!
What's done is done.

Unite against them!

Or else,
all your family and friends

will lead the lives of slaves
for the rest of their lives.

This land belongs to us!

We don't have to bow to the wills
of others, in order to live.

Bring an end to it today!

Show them the strength of unity!

Don't fear to fight
against injustice.

Kick these white dogs
out of our country!

Free the land of Kittur!

After your death,
Kittur will not get its freedom.

Shut up! Don't think
it's all over because Raya is dead.

In the future, each mother will
give birth to freedom fighters.

They will thrash you!

There will be a time,
when you will flee from our country

like thieves,
in the middle of the night.

Mother India
will gain her freedom!

The seeds of patriotism
have been planted!

In every house,
thoughts of revolution are growing!

Praise the lord!
- Praise the lord! Praise the lord!

Praise the lord!

Raya! Raya!

Raya! Raya! My Raya!

Raya! My Son!

Sangolli Rayanna,
who was hanged on January 26

was considered as an inspiration

and was buried with honour.

Dressed as a Fakeer,
Rayanna's best friend, Chennabasava

planted a banyan sapling
on his grave.

He nurtured the plant
and lived there.

That sapling has grown
into a huge banyan tree.

Even now, devotees of Rayanna,
irrespective of caste and religion

come here to pray
for a son like Rayanna.

They pray with absolute faith
and leave trinkets as offerings.

116 years after the death of
freedom figther, Sangolli Rayanna

his words came true
as the British fled the country

in the middle of the night.

Surprisingly, the day of Sangolli
Rayanna's birth, August 15

coincides with India's
day of independence.

The day of his death, January 26,
coincides with the day

India became a sovereign state.

An epitome of patriotism,
self-sacrifice and bravery!

Rayanna!

Partiot Sangolli Rayanna!
