(Phone rings)

Maada. -What's up?

What a surprise!

You're a big shot!

How can I not call you?

Big shot? And me? You're the real estate developer dude!

Nonsense! Where are you?

In Narayanpura.

I was sticking posters.

Where exactly? -Close by, in Singe Nagar.

I don't know dude.

It's near Chandapur. -Got it.

The Ganesha temple is being inaugurated.

Veeranna, the panchayat president got it built.

Next candidate? Has he done the public any good?

Yes, he got this temple built for the village.

So, what's happening?

I heard comedian Michael Madhu is coming for the inauguration.

I don't know dude.

He's done many films with Kashinath, dude.

You didn't get it, did you?

I know him...that fair chap.

Okay bye, see you later.

(Ganapathi temple inauguration)

Damn! It's exactly as it was. Where's this guy?

Damn this guy!

Hey Naga!

What the f**k are you doing?

Because of your shoddy job, I have to get it repaired again when it rains.

He's so annoying when it comes to work!

Look here fella!

Only if you can do it well, be here.

If you can't, then send your sister's son.

My nephew does the hard work. But for payment, he calls my sister, so he can flirt with her.

I've been watching you since yesterday. Your work is so slow.

All of you are useless!

Where do you idiots come from!

A child can do a better job!

Shankara, his sister's son is far better.

The job's almost done. Don't get tensed early in the morning.

You...you just won't get it!

The function is in a week. I have books (booked) chief guests and actors!

There's so much work! Don't preach to me. Tell him!

Boss, Sakamma is coming...

You should've told me. -Sakamma, all well?

All well Mr President!

All well. Back in the day, we would walk miles to see Lord Ganesha and our legs would nearly break.

I'm glad you brought Ganesha to our village and made it easy for us.

God bless you.

Ask your family to vote for me this time too, Sakamma.

I'll do more good work in future.

Definitely. I'll threaten to chop their heads if they don't listen to me.

Yes, do that.

I'm off to my brother's house. See you.

Careful. Don't fall. You have to get me votes.

Shankara. -Boss...

Heard that?

The opening must be really grand!

In the name of God, I can get these idiots to vote!

Your schemes are brilliant, boss.

Tell me Laxman.

[-Veeranna, the chief guest of our function]

[passed away from a heart attack this morning.]

[Our function is in a week. What do we do?]

[Boss...]

Shankara, get the boys & come to my office. -What happened boss?

[Whose call was it?]

Just come to my office.

Raghu.... -Yes Kishore...

What happened to him?

Why is he so tensed?

No idea.

It could be... -What?

Joint Jalaja from our village...

Yes, I know...tell me.

That thing where they write stories about themselves. What's that?

Autobiography.

Yes, autobiography. She's started writing it.

So?

He may be tensed that she might include his name in it.

You dimwits!

He's already tensed. What nonsense are you talking!

Who the hell let you in?

Vasanna, when the elections were held, we worked tirelessly.

But our conveyance was not paid.

On asking, they said take it from Vasu.

We've come to your house so many times.

Did you meet us even once?

Shall I ask for it in front of everyone?

[Such wastrels!]

[He cheats us of money...]

Kishore, I'll handle it later. Keep quiet now.

I fell at the feet of so many people and booked him.

The elections are nearing.

And I have no clue what to do.

Now it's fixed I'll lose this time.

And it's also fixed that Loki will use this excuse to win.

Boss, we still have five days.

We will find someone, don't worry.

In such a short time?

I have an idea. Why don't we ask Krishnappa?

He keeps going to Bengaluru. I'm sure he has many contacts,

Who Krishnappa?

The village school master.

School master? Tell me who.

Just three people have that name in our village.

Look, two of them are here.

This is Moonal's son. Consider him the first Krishnappa.

This is, that boy who jumped into the well and died,

...his father. This is the second Krishnappa.

He died due to love failure...

Shut up. This isn't the time for your stories.

Then the last one.

The third Krishnappa.

Isn't he the maths teacher?

You think I don't know that?

Shut up now. My mind is on something else.

Go call him. Let's talk to him.

Somebody go to school and bring him here.

Moorane Krishnappa.

[Good morning teacher.]

[Attendance calling in progress]

Madhu.

Recite the multiplication of 2.

2x1=2

2x2=

Go on. -4.

2x3=

6. -Hey Madhu

Sir... -I taught you to count with your fingers.

But I also I told you to hide your hands in the pocket while doing so.

Okay sir. -Go on count now,

2x4=8 -Very good.

2x5=

2x5=

2x5=

11

Silence!

Shucks!

So you counted that too!

You've been called to the panchayat office.

Why Raghu? -No idea. Come soon.

I'm in class. -Just come, the president wants to see you.

I can't. Tell him I'll come after I'm done here.

Why do you disturb me during class hours, Raghu?

When I return, the kids would've gone home.

Krishna, can you shut up? Always blabbering!

I'm a teacher, have some respect.

Speak politely dude.

Respect?

In the SSLC escom,

Exam.

Exactly what I said.

In the SSLC escom, you copied.

from the paper my girl Subbi passed for me..

Say thanks first. Respect my foot!

Who Subbi?

Kuntu Lakshmappa's daughter, the one who had 1/2 litre oil on her head and a runny nose.

Then why didn't you take that paper and copy?

Why did you give it to me?

I saw the paper she passed, Krishna.

I literally fainted trying to figure what was written!

Besides, you were next to me looking clueless.

So I did a favour by giving it to you.

So why have they called me to the panchayat?

So Mr Krishnappa teacher,

the whole village turned around when he asked me to fetch you.

It's urgent apparently. Why don't you go find out?

Wait. Let me have tea. Bro, one tea.

Here it is.

We're in a hurry and you're having tea?

Bro, tea cancel.

Bro, one tea.

It's right there. I just made it.

It looks like someone's had a sip already.

Give me another one. -Nobody has touched it.

I will prove it by drinking it myself.

Sorry, give it,

Moron, it took you this long to get Krishnappa?

Despite warning that we'll be late, he insisted on having tea.

Krishnappa, I thought you at least had some sense.

So many people are waiting for you.

And you were... -Shankara.

He's here now. Let it go.

Krishnappa, here's why we called you.

The temple we've built... -Shankara...

Wait I'll explain in brief.

Krishnappa, we wanted to inaugurate the temple in five days.

You're aware of it.

For the function, I had booked actor Michael Madhu who's of our taluk.

He died today of a heart attack.

If we don't find a chief guest, those worms who lost against me, will rejoice.

It might hamper the upcoming elections too.

I heard you have many contacts in Bengaluru.

He said so.

Isn't it fella?

Now you must book someone.

The prestige of our village is at stake.

Everything is in your hands now.

Just do this. And I'll ensure I solve whatever problems you may have.

I promise.

[The explaination was brief indeed!]

Sir, I don't know anybody from films or politics.

But I have a friend called Nandish in Bengaluru.

He's a smart chap.

I'm sure he can do something.

Here's what I can do.

I'll get his number and call him up.

You go home and I'll meet you once I speak to him.

Krishnappa, I don't care what you do.

This is about the prestige of our village.

Shankara...

I've spoken to him. Have patience.

[Then why did you even call me here?]

That's it Krishnappa. We'll wait for you at the president's home. Come soon.

Shantakka, the boys are here.

Make some coffee for us.

Whenever I've to go out, these idiots land up!

Shashi.. -Yes mom.

I'm off to the temple.

Your father has got his men.

Can you please make coffee for them?

Okay. You carry on mom.

Shashi, I've kept steel glasses next to the bathroom. Serve the coffee in those. Don't forget.

Okay mom.

[Miserable lot, all of them!]

All well? -Yes Shantakka.

Shantakka is fond of me!

She's like a goddess.

I know her since so long. -yes.

I wonder where I've written the number!

I won't worship you nor offer flowers.

Is this how you treat me?

Did I build the temple for me? It was for you that I built it.

And now you spoilt my function.

Are you really divine?

Do you know how expensive these flowers and pujas are?

I'm angry with you, because you spoilt everything.

Krishnappa

What happened? -Shut up.

Please go in. The president seems tensed.

Why do you always stop me?

Please do something.

Krishnappa, did you speak to your friend?

Wow! That's amazing Nandi! I feel relieved now!

Get me anyone. Actors, politicians or even ex politicos will do.

[-I've already told you my position. Yet you keep saying ex politicos. Wait until you see my capacity.]

[Open your whatsapp.] -Whatsapp?

Nandish...

[-My photo with the chief minister of the state.]

[-I'll get him. Now I'm in Vidhan Soudha most times. I am a party worker.]

Unbelievable Krishnappa!

I too said the same dialogue in the same manner to him.

Unbelievable Nandish!

[-I'll write a letter and give it to him personally.]

[-He never says no to me. By noon, he'll give me a reply. He'll be there 100%]

[Go confirm this to your president]

Krishnappa when I listen to what you're saying...

...I feel this function will be so huge that the entire district will look in our direction!

Now I'm the president, then MLA, then MP and minister!

Oh god, my imagination runs wild!

Let me get a confirmation and I'll go wild with celebrations.

Hey Shantha! -Tell me.

Krishnappa is here. Get him coffee.

[One moment, I'll get it.]

Give it in our tumbler. Not the separate one.

Dimwit! Doesn't understand these things!

Never a peaceful moment in this house!

A rabid dog was barking and the plate slipped from my hand.

Which dog? -A black one.

Don't chase it. -Why will I?

I live with it!

I'll be back after making two calls. -I'll wait outside.

Why outside? Sit here.

Not here. Sit on the chair. I insist.

Tell me Nandish. -[-Krishna, your job is done!]

Wait!

Tell me now Nandish.

You weren't audible.

[-Krishna you're lucky! In under half an hour of giving the letter, sir called me in and gave me a earful.]

[He said, "do you have to write formally to me like others?"]

["Couldn't you just ask me?", he shouted and agreed to come.]

[Are you happy?]

Nandish, how do I repay you?

[-If you get formal, I'll cancel it Krishna!]

[-As kids, we'd go to the next town and eat pakodas every day. Have you forgotten that?]

[-I tear up every time I think of you.]

[-Ask my wife.]

[-You've been an amazing friend Krishnappa!]

[-Okay let's talk business. Message me the date and time.]

[-I'll inform sir's PA and they will come to inspect the place the previous day.]

Okay. -[I'll give them your number.]

[-Show them the place where you're holding the event.]

Okay Nandish. -Also Krishnappa...

-[I've to leave for the airport now because a minister is coming]

[-Don't forget what I've told you.]

Okay Nandish, bye. -Bye.

Krishnappa! -Krishna!

Who is this Nandish dude?

My close friend.

This Nandish is no ordinary man!

Our Krishna is not ordinary either!

He's a smart one!

He's bringing the CM to our village!

It's no joke dude!

Coffee...

There are umpteen riddles awaiting to be solved

Tender hearts are united in love

There are umpteen riddles waiting to be solved

Our hearts are united in love

I'm haunted constantly

by your beautiful face

Why do I need anything else when I have your love!

Silence turns into a gentle whisper on my lips!

My love you remain etched in my heart as a sweet kiss!

Emotions cascade like a waterfall

And happiness flows abundantly!

Both our hearts are filled with unending love

I'll love you always, be mine eternally.

Thrive within me O sweet dream!

Dedicate all your love to me O my love!

Your memories alone are enough for me.

Silence turns into a gentle whisper on my lips!

My love, you remain etched in my heart as a sweet kiss.

Krishna, I hope you will come home tomorrow and ask for my hand.

I'm scared about their reaction.

We've done no wrong to be scared, Shashi.

We love each other, that's all.

Please don't worry.

All will be well, isn't it Krishna?

You'll witness it tomorrow dear.

How dare you eye my daughter!

Get up rascal!

Hey, bring that here!

How dare you eye my little one!

My daughter!

Don't spare him!

Give that to me.

I'll thulp you!

Take him and tie him up. -Get up.

Take him. -Come with us.

Get lost a*****e!

What's it Krishna?

Nothing sir, I was just passing by. -What?

This side. -Then go!

Look at his style!

Two hearts are conversing

And expressing intense love!

And in this short story called love,

we remained forever as just two characters....

All our memories flash before my eyes

I will always celebrate these times

I just have to think about them to relive all of it.

Krishnappa!

Sir

Krishnappa!

I can't explain my joy!

Krishnappa!

Please have your coffee!

Drink Krishnappa.

Don't act smart. Just drink.

Take.

Have it.

Krishna the sly one.

Slowly.

Krishna, missing Shashi?

Nobody knows your love story in this village.

Except me.

Why did you share it only with me Krishnappa?

Are you that fond of me?

If I get caught, I need a companion to share the beatings, Raghu!

That's why.

What other news Krishnappa?

You go home drunk every day, right?

Your wife doesn't object?

Hello! I might look soft.

But I'm a tiger at home, dude.

Okay fine.

Okay fine?

What do you mean? Are you being forced to agree?

Just for my consolation?

No need for that dude.

I'll call her right now.

You can hear it all.

It's okay. I believe you.

No, no.

So you think I'm some scared cat?

Wait.

Hello.

[-Hello] -What have you made for dinner?

[-Curry and rice.] -What? Is it hot?

[-Yes.]

I won't beat you up, say it.

[-What's the time?]

11 o clock.

[-Where the hell are you at this hour then!]

[-Don't you have the brains that you have a wife at home!]

[-Absolutely shameless! Loafer!]

[-Comes home drunk everyday!] -Krishna!

[-Go drink poison instead!]

[-Useless creature! Loafer!]

[-Come home and I'll show you! Hot food, my foot!]

[-Hang up the phone, b******d!]

I swear on my mother, she's never shouted at me like this.

Most probably, it must be Whisper day.

That's why she's shouted so much.

Krishna, one favour please.

What is it?

Bring a mat. I'll sleep here tonight.

Wait.

Take. Eat now.

It's ok, Krishna. -Eat or I'll send you home.

I'll eat, give it.

The food isn't hot. Is it ok, Raghu?

Where's the boss?

Where's the boss!

What is it?

Hey, don't touch her!

My Neeravva looks so nice and fair!

If you and I get together, we'll create a riot!

Tell me correctly. Where's the boss?

Chikka, are you asking for Loki anna?

Be it you or me, Loki anna is always...

he's here, there and always in our hearts!

Do I look like a fool to you?

Come, let's eat Chikka.

I had my fill with you just now.

Get lost!

Listen to me...

Get lost!

Actually, I'm pissed with you. Don't talk to me.

If the dancer is still here, where's the boss?

Is it your wife, chikka?

No way.

Then why are you staring like that?

Why are you here?

You've hosting a party because the chief guest is dead.

But now they've fixed the CM himself as the guest.

I've spent 5000 bucks only on the snacks.

Now count in the meat and the booze.

And this is the news you bring when I've spent so much and am partying?

Such idiots. When will you learn?

Had you at least told me this in the morning?

Let's go. -Boss...

Your clothes...

I'll be back.

What happened?

Not today. I have to go home now.

It's Chikka. Bad news.

You too go home.

When you're free, we'll create fireworks again.

Baby, what are you saying?

I'm unable to understand.

Sweetheart

I know you for five years.

I shower you with money every time I come to the club.

With my tips, you even bought a car.

Had you paid 10,000 bucks and gone for tuitions,

you'd have at least learnt Kannada.

Bloody hell, you can't understand what I say and I can't understand what you say.

Why are you angry with me baby?

[Sings a popular Kannada film song]

Boss, it's you!

Sorry!

Whatever!

Tell me now, what's up with that president?

Boss, when Loki hears of this, he'll be upset.

Why should we bother about him?

Let's concentrate on our work.

[Till yesterday he was bothered that Loki will win, Loki will more popular]

[Now look at him!]

After this grand function, I'm sure his own family will not vote for him.

The game is ours this time.

Of course! We've worked hard for it!

Shut up now!

Nobody has worked harder than me.

Shankara, if I win, I don't gain anything.

People are lucky.

Tell me where will you find a fighter like me?

[A fighter? He can't even move around on his own, b******d! What fight have you led?]

[Then what do you call what Mahatma Gandhi did?]

You had asked me to suggest plans on welcoming the CM.

I thought about it all night and have a super idea.

Shut up! Don't act smart. Let's go to the high school and ask Krishnappa.

[CM will come from this side.]

[No, CM will come from that side.]

[I'll come from this side.]

[What other things can be done...]

Not today dear.

[CM on that side. Me on this side.]

Bloody hell! Turn over and sleep! All the time, falling on me!

I'm going crazy here thinking of ideas.

And this one is being a pain!

Why is this fellow acting like this?

[continues to murmur]

[Where will you go? I'll teach you soon! Ideas, my foot!]

Damn! I lost out on both opportunities!

What is this Krishnappa? Just plain rice and gravy?

Your sister made biryani today and asked me to give it to you.

Take, have it. -It's ok sir.

I'll eat my food.

Unless you eat none of us will eat and we're really hungry.

[burps heard]

The school looks amazing!

It's been long since I came here.

[Aren't you a big activist?]

[Then how will you have the time to come here?]

Krishnappa

Sir... -I have many problems now.

What's the matter, sir?

Now after much difficulty, you're bringing the CM to our village.

Yes. - But I'm going crazy thinking how to welcome him.

I've come to you because you might have ideas.

You have such seniors with you.

I am hardly the one with ideas.

Seniors?

Look at the faces of these monkeys!

You think they can be of any use at all?

You're educated.

I'm sure you have ideas!

Sir

Give me two minutes.

Go ahead.

Boss, I wanted to share my thoughts in the car. Can I?

Sir...

When Modi... -The big boss of our nation...

When Trump came to India, he went to the airport to welcome him.

He was taken in a huge procession and witnessed many cultural programmes along the way.

Our CM will come amidst a tight schedule.

He may not have the time to watch programmes on stage.

If we do it this way, the CM can witness cultural...

What? Cul...cul...cultu... -Cultural programmes sir.

Wait. Cultural...I'll say it wait.

So dollu kunitha, tiger dance, yakshagana and kolaata will be part of it.

Our Rajkumar's son, Shivarajkumar,

he danced in Mandara Hoove film. -Yes.

The same one? -Yes.

So the CM will witness it but it won't take much time too.

What do you say?

What will I say Krishnappa?

Will anyone call this an idea?

I asked you for a small idea.

And you gave me such a mega plan!

That's why I came to you!

I'm happy to help sir.

Your plan has given me goosebumps!

Hey, come here. -Yes boss.

Nothing, go.

Go on, eat.

She belongs in the forest! Why did I get her home?

Let me just watch TV for the heck of it.

[TV anchor heard in the background]

[Trump and Modi seen on TV]

Tomorrow I must turn this around and impress the president.

[P Veeranna]

Okay, if any cement bags remain, I'll send them over.

You can do patch work with them.

Okay sir.

Shankara, now did you understand why I didn't ask for your idea in the car?

Understood boss.

See that's the difference between you and that educated fellow.

It's the same idea I wanted to give you in the car.

Shankara, I'll tell you something. Please don't feel bad.

Your face and his idea have no connect at all.

Now will you walk or come in the car?

I'll come with you. -Come.

Hey Kashi, go speak to Krishnappa.

Why should I?

Is he the only angry man here?

I am too.

He's holding on to some silly matter and telling everyone about it.

I don't care what's happened between you two.

When the entire village adores him,

what silly anger are you holding on to dude?

You fool, if he's calling the CM, he's no ordinary man.

What exactly happened between you both, anyway?

Shut up. I feel ashamed to talk about it.

Just spill the beans, will you?

So....

So...

While we were in high school & it was my birthday,

Bloody hell, don't you feel ashamed to say this?

Didn't I already tell you that I am ashamed to tell you this?

Now is the break-up with me important or the patch up with him?

Krishnappa!

Krishna! -Crazy fellow!

Hey Krishna!

Hey!

Krishna wait!

How are you dude?

Not good.

Where's your bike? Why are you walking to school?

Puncture.

Have you had coffee? -Not yet.

Will you buy me one?

By the time you buy one, you'd have run out of cash.

Why get insulted there too?

I swear I didn't do on purpose on that day Krishna.

I had counted everything properly.

I have no clue how I missed one.

Shall I tell you where you missed the count?

Laxmi, see Kashi has given me two chocolates.

Not just you, he's given me too.

[These silly girls instead of eating it...!]

Krishna, forget it already!

It happened unintentionally.

Those girls must have smiled and I must have gotten taken in by it and cheated you.

This is such a silly matter.

I'm not angry dude.

After that incident, you didn't speak to me, so I didn't too.

Kashi, you think I can't afford to buy a chocolate?

Even today, I buy the kids at school chocolates for I-day and Gandhi Jayanthi.

But I distribute it equally, Kashi.

Okay, let it go now. Enough with it already.

I just mentioned it.

Like the rains in a desert, what made you talk to me in a rare occurrence?

I've been working on an idea for a while.

The CM will be tired traveling from Bengaluru.

Why can't we arrange for him to come to my shop, have a Fanta and relax?

Hold on. You want him to drink Fanta in your shop?

Sorry Kashi. The president has arranged for buttermilk in the park.

You don't worry about it.

Hey Krishna! Dude please. -Let go of me.

Give me your word dude and I'll let go of you.

Let go of my hand right now.

Please give your assurance.

I'll let go. -Okay.

I'll try

If you've said, "I'll try," that means it's done!

Wait Krishnappa, I'll give you something.

Tell me -[Our Venky is no more.]

When?

My lord who was with me till yesterday has left me behind and gone!

The man who would ride a TVS, is today being carried on a bamboo mat.

Which song is this Raghu?

The tune is her own.

Even the lyrics are hers. That's why you haven't heard it until now.

The man who would fondly call me Ganga, has shut his mouth forever!

Enough sister. You have to sing at his death anniversary too.

For her loud ways, he should have shut his mouth a long time ago.

You should have listened to her abuses.

I would feel so bad!

I have lost count of the booze I've had, being unable to see his pain.

Friendship dude.

My lord, why did you leave me and go!

Why didn't you take me along?

Keep quiet woman. Let him at least be in peace there.

Raghu, keep quiet, will you?

Obviously dude. Has he gone on a trip to Switzerland to take her along?

This is so irritating!

Greetings sir.

Come.

Seenanna, so you left us and went away.

Sir, look at him sleeping like the dead!

He looks so alive.

Somehow give me money to build his grave!

I'll worship his grave all day!

I'm old too.

I'll survive for hardly another 50 years.

Bro, how old is she?

50 years.

Humans have a life span of 100 years.

So she isn't wrong.

No way bro.

She's done no wrong at all.

Gangamma, first stop crying.

This soul is here to serve people.

I'll build a grave for Seenanna. Definitely.

Didn't work out.

Gangamma!

I'm right here sir.

This soul is here to serve people.

I'm with you in everything.

Your troubles are mine too.

I'll build a grave for him.

You get things ready for the puja.

Okay?

How can I not help my own people?

A friend of the poor, all hail president Veeranna!

Seenanna!

How much do you want? -Rs 1000.

What's it sir? -Get veg food made for the funeral.

After three days make non-veg food for Seenanna.

Hail our president Veeranna!

Shankara!

Where's today's paper?

[He'd have kept it around here.]

[But will pester me.]

Boss, I can't find it.

I bet she's taken it to sort the veggies.

Damn it. Anyway, forget it.

Shankara -Boss

Send somebody and get content written for the invitation.

Let's get them printed.

Get going.

What shall I read now?

Text book. As if I have an exam.

You found only today's paper to sort the veggies?

Get lost!

All the time thinking about other people. And no time to think about his daughter's marriage!

You think I dreamt that she will become a widow within 3 days of marriage and be back home!

[-As if she's only your daughter & not mine.]

[-The Kunti inside this woman is suddenly awake!]

[-I know what people talk, but am I not quiet?]

What the f**k do you know about the gossip that's going on behind your back?

What do you even know?

Why do you keep swearing all the time?

Despite all this, I hope you know my brother is ready to marry her.

Have you ever spoken to him properly?

Wait, I'll come to that matter.

Just the mere sight of him is enough to send you flying.

You must be lucky to give her to him.

As if you belong to Mahatma Gandhi's family!

Nice guy, my foot. Was this drama created to talk about your brother?

Hey drama queen!

I know very well what is to be done.

[Wait for some time.]

Raghu, when I walk down this road, I feel jittery.

You feel jittery. I get frightened!

Finish it soon and let's leave.

Raghu, I'll see her just once dude.

Don't Krishna, please.

It'll be fine, don't worry.

I'll be caught along with you.

Come Krishna, somebody might see us.

Ah! She's here!

Krishnappa.

[We're dead!] -Hey Krishnappa.

Sir!

So...

Without your knowledge, I've made a small mistake, sir.

No Krishnappa. You think I'm not aware of the matter?

Boss...

I too warned him not to.

You said no.

Yet, he's planning to.

Carry on Krishnappa.

Carry on.

Boss, what's the matter that you know?

What else? I realised when you were looking in that direction.

I understood.

Krishnappa was planning to put up a flex of me and the CM.

You think I won't get it?

You take me for a fool?

No way sir, how can that ever be!

The plan is good.

But not needed Krishnappa.

No. -Okay sir.

In politics, a 'no' means 'yes', fellas!

Hey Raghu! Krishna!

Come back! -If you don't want it, we don't want it too sir!

I thought this Krishnappa was smart.

He's a fool too. Teacher my foot!

Krishnappa, if the president had the same respect for you 10 years ago,

he'd have come to your house to give Shashi's hand in marriage.

Isn't it Krishnappa?

Am I right?

Shall we go & ask for Shashi's hand?

It's like the blind leading another blind. If I listen to you, I'm dead meat.

Shall we have tea, Krishnappa?

Sri Chowdeshwari Tea Stall

Mr Krishnappa, greetings! -Hello.

Krishna...greetings. -Hello.

Saw that Krishnappa?

Because you're getting the CM, people are treating you like the CM!

Bro...

What's this Krishnappa? This is your shop! Take it back.

Please don't do this and spoil our friendship!

Keep that note inside now.

Leave now.

Hey, no way.

Out!

He's someone who will steal food from the pigs, Krishna!

If he says no to money,

your range has shot up Krishna!

Shankara, let's talk about the invitations.

Yes, read it!

we...we...we...welcome to Chi...chi..chi...chief minister.

Mr...Ma...Ma... -Hey Shankara!

What the hell is this speech!

What the f**k are you reading? -Dude, didn't you ask me to write what this guy recites?

Write properly.

We...we...welcome.

What did you say to him dude?

He...he's wr...written.. exactly as I asked.

What nonsense is this!

It's the CM's function idiots!

Sha...shall...I ask him to wr...write again boss?

Get lost all of you!

Get out!

Come dude.

Hey Shankara, none of them have senses! (common sense)

Be off!

Everyone wants to disappoint me! Useless creatures!

Madam

Who are you?

Sir, I am Radha.

Actually, my friends and I were going to a temple & passed this village.

We wanted to see the village, but our car broke down.

We had to pass time and walked down the road and saw this school.

We saw the cute kids and began clicking them.

And you are? -Madam, I'm the maths teacher here.

Guys, this is the teacher.

And he teaches mathematics. -Namaste.

All of you go to class.

Quick.

Bye!

Madam, come in.

Careful kids. Slowly.

Krishnappa, our car will take four hours to return.

Can you send someone to show us around the village?

Madam, my class will be done by 1pm.

I'm happy to show you around.

Is it? Ok, let's go.

A hundred colours come together to paint a beautiful picture!

The heart leaps in joy when called by one's roots!

A hundred colors come together to paint a beautiful picture!

The heart leaps in joy when called by one's roots!

The richness of beauty is heightened by a smile

It's a symbol of rekindling nostalgia!

The mind is like an aircraft that transports us into memories

Let's savour them all and live a happy life!

Golden dream, won't you introduce me to this glorious village?

O golden dream, give us your permission and let us in!

Golden dream, soothe us with a gentle breeze!

Golden dream, join us in celebrating this moment!

If you are feeling shy, then you definitely have a love story!

What's her name?

Shashi.

It was such a lovely time with you Krishnappa.

Both your village and you have brought us much joy.

I was happy meeting you all too Radhamma..

Radhamma, please don't forget to share the pictures you clicked.

I'll definitely send it.

One moment.

Please don't mind.

Radhamma, if this was the case, I wouldn't have come.

No! Please don't mistake me.

I'm habituated to giving money at tourist spots.

I'm so sorry.

It's okay.

What do they call close friends in your village?

What else Radhamma... they say "dude."

Okay dude. See you soon. Bye.

Children, which is the least numeral in this series? -2!

Is that correct? -Yes sir.

Very good. 2 it is.

[-Krishnappa.] -Tell me Nandish.

[-I've come to your village from Bengaluru.]

And there's nobody to even offer water.

Hey Nandish, when did you come?

Where are you? -What do I say?

There are just fields around me. Looks like I'm also a sapling!

Ah, you're near the fields.

How are you Nandi?

You're unrecognisable dude!

You've changed.

I'm alive and kicking!

Where's your boss?

Department guys. Can't make them wait long Krishnappa.

Hey, what time will he come?

Call him up and ask.

Yes sir. He'll be here in 2 minutes.

Yes, they're here.

May our president live a 100 years!

Who, this guy?

Keep quiet. Let him live well. He's done good work.

Nandish, this is our president, Mr Veeranna.

He's the one I told you about during our calls.

Mr Veeranna!

Please come.

Give me the invitation.

It's printed.

Ah, nice. Now send your men along.

The department guys are here to inspect the spot.

Let them see the location.

Boys, go along.

Show it to them.

Show them around the village too.

Sir, there's no time for all that.

Listen chap, just show them the spot where the event will be held.

Go. -Sir, you see the spot and come.

By the time we come, keep it ready.

Okay sir. You carry on.

I thought Loki will see them if they go around the village.

Nandish, let's go there and talk.

Okay.

You stay back.

You can curse him all you want. He won't mind.

What else Nandish?

You tell me Veeranna.

Now the inspection guys expect a little...it's not a must.

But you must give!

I will Nandish. I understand these things.

Will Rs 50,000 do?

Just Rs 40,000 will work!

I'll handle it. About 10-15 thousand will be our commuting fee. But I'll take care, no problem.

Don't say a word more.

Why should you spend?

I'm still alive and kicking.

I'll arrange for Rs 50,000.

Take it and just go. That's all.

Do you know anyone who holds samsarika (family) programmes?

Sir, it's samskritika (cultural).

Yes, exactly! Do you know anyone?

So the Independencde Day that was held at Manekshaw parade ground.

The one where the CM hoisted the flag.

Who do you think called all those artistes?

When you have contacts, use them Veeranna!

We didn't have power that day, so I couldn't watch it.

Okay, let's do one thing.

Let's call the same artistes!

Pay a small advance.

I'll get the balance amount reduced after the event.

What do you say Krishna? And you?

I don't like it.

You asked me permission for all these things.

I didn't like it.

All you need to tell me is the money that's needed.

Are you a stranger to me?

I'll arrange it right away.

Just tell me how much you need.

Including both, it will be Rs 2.5 lakh.

Just Rs 2.5 lakh? Damn, I'm not wearing my knicker!

Wait.

Now he needs me!

[-Shankara] -Yes boss.

There's Rs 3 lakh in the car. Bring it here.

But why so much money boss?

When I asked you to help with the programmes, you didn't. Now someone's doing it.

Let him at least go ahead. I need to pay him half the advance.

Bring it.

But boss, who pays so much as advance!

Then do one thing.

What boss!

Shut up and bring it real soon!

Where are you off to? -Boss is calling me.

Why don't you have lunch?

Come home.

It's been 3 days since I slept. Look at how my eyes have popped!

And you're asking us to lunch!

My body is hurting.

Krishna, we'll go back to Bangalore on the route suggested by you.

There's a lot of work.

I'll see you soon. Don't worry about anything.

I'll handle everything.

Veeranna, so you've managed to summon the CM to your place!

Get ready for the big election!

Thanks to you!

All for my friend here!

See you. Bye Krishna.

Krishna!

I'm embarrassed!

I told them I don't like these things.

But these two didn't listen.

It's ok boss. It looks nice!

[I can't bear to look at this Krishnappa. It's sick! Look at him showing off using our names!]

Raghu?

My eyes aren't doing justice to how amazing you look, boss.

They are calling the CM and showing off.

And you're here posing and just being grand.

Let them call the CM. What's the big deal about it?

After he comes here and returns,

I'll call someone too.

Zip it up, will ya?

If they call the CM, will you call the PM?

No dude.

If they call a male.

I'll call a female.

A female?

Who?

Who is this female who can fire the imagination of the people?

Roja Gandhi.

Roja Gandhi?

Bro, you think she'll come to canvas?

I have contacts.

If she comes, will people vote for you?

Weren't you floored just istening to her name?

Obviously these silly folks will go mad!

Bro, I'm a big fan of her!

I want a picture with her!

Just a photo? Damn you.

I'll have a party here and tell her to spend a few hours with us.

[Flex welcoming the CM]

Everyone, thank you for coming here...

Me. I'll speak.

I'll do the talking.

Greetings everyone.

You all must be knowing that we have called the CM here tomorrow.

We are getting the chief minister of the state!

Aren't we just lucky!

Let it be.

Everyone must gather at 11.30 am near the temple.

Me, the president and others

will go to the outskirts and welcome him grandly into our village.

Our president has personally told me to request you all to maintain silence and decorum during his visit.

Will they listen to this fool?

I trust that you will all maintain discipline and end my speech.

This is how you speak.

You want the mic?

Krishnappa.

Give it.

Why? -Si...to sing.

You want to sing, sweetheart?

Go ahead.

[Attempts a popular kannada song]

There's no one!

At least you cared to listen.

What did you say? I'm deaf.

Being on this job, I've gone deaf. Be louder.

Krishnappa, I hear the CM is coming tomorrow.

I too want a picture with him.

You'll have it otherwise.

Okay.

Don't forget. -Okay.

Sir, I am Veeranna.

I am the president of our village.

It's just average boss.

Just okay?

Okay, watch me this time.

Do it.

Sir, I am Veeranna. I am the president of this village.

Boss, you've improved!

Oh c'mmon boss.

I said it's okay, and you've repeated the act.

You must do better boss.

Shankara, you're not happy with anything I do.

I've done so well.

Ok, you show me how to do it.

Boss, he's the CM and an elder.

If you fall at his feet, it will stay in his mind.

Shankara!

Not bad!

Your brain too works sometimes!

I'll do it again, watch.

Do it boss. -Watch me.

Sir!

Sir I am Veeranna. I am the president of this village.

Yes sir. All your blessings sir!

Yes sir?

Boss...you lived the character!

You did so well.

Boss, do it once more please.

Enough for today Shankara.

If I don't sleep, then my face will look puffy.

Then they'll mistake me for being drunk.

And it's the CM!

Come here by 9 am tomorrow.

Come soon. -Yes boss.

Was I good?

Make a move. -Let's go.

Sir, I am Veeranna. I swear I am the president!

Sir, I am Veeranna. Yes, I am the president. Sorry, I spoke in Telugu.

Sir, I only speak in Kannada. I speak fluent Kannada.

[Shankranna, I felt president's first act was good. -I just wanted him to fall at my feet; I played along.]

[Festivities begin]

You're quiet when I pray or offer flowers. Or even if I don't.

You're the big boss anyway.

I shouted at you last time because I was angry.

Please forgive me.

Please do!

The CM is coming!

CM is coming!

Bye, tata!

Black face!

Let me look fair!

How do I look?

[You look like you're off to fancy dress contest.]

Boss, you look like a hero!

I know.

Ramraj!

Whether a raja (king) dresses in Ramraj or not, he will always be a king!

[Smart!]

Damn!

Bad omen.

What happened boss?

Nothing.

One moment.

They don't even bother switching off the TV in this house!

Hello... -Tell me Krishna.

Nandi, the cultural programme artistes haven't come yet.

[-Another 20 minutes & they will be there.]

All okay Nandish?

[In ten minutes, CM will make a stop.]

[-He likes having breakfast at this small joint.]

[-About half an hour there & another hour to your village, Krishna.] -Super!

Okay.

Krishna, what's he saying?

Raghu, go to the temple and check if everything's ready.

Krishna, they'll be here any time. And you want me to go now?

Dude, they will take another 2 hours to come.

Don't chew my brains early in the morning. Go on.

Go now dude.

[I'll go. Because if I don't, you won't introduce me to the CM.]

[Prayer plays on the loudspeaker]

Greetings sir.

Krishnappa, how close are you to Nandish?

Me and him are like two bodies and one soul, sir.

When I'd go to Bengaluru for teachers training, I stayed with him & we would eat in one plate and sleep on one bed.

He's a dear friend.

You have good contacts.

I didn't think much of you.

I'm happy though.

Krishnappa -Sir.

Call him up again. -Okay sir.

[The airtel subscriber you are calling is currently busy.]

[The airtel subscriber you are calling is currently busy.]

Calling him sir.

[The number you are calling is either switched off or not reachable at the moment.]

[Please try later.]

[Now if he gets to know it's switched off, he'll kill me.]

[What do I do?]

Hello, Nandish. Okay you're on the highway?

What? Another hour?

Please come on the road I told you.

Then...(phone rings)

[-Hello Krishna. Everything is ready]

[When the CM steps into the village, we'll burst the expensive crackers.]

[Wait, I'm coming there.]

[Breaking news: The coastal region has witnessed heavy rainfall]

[thus disrupting the lives of people in Mangaluru, Udupi and Karwar]

[In view of this development, the CM has decided to pay a visit]

[to the affected areas and taken off in a helicopter from Jakkur at 5 am today.]

[So Pradeep Varma, so the CM is wiping the tears of his people, huh?]

Krishnappa, so how close are you to Nandish?

Sir, I always felt he was a big cheat.

He was always full of lies.

I understand now... he broke my trust sir.

You please don't worry sir.

Please postpone the function by a week.

I'll bring someone and ensure it's done.

I still have many contacts in Bengaluru.

What do you say sir?

So what was your commission?

Tell me Krishnappa teacher.

How much?

Sir, me?

When you asked for half the advance, I should've known

that you guys have plotted this behind my back.

I was fooled.

I have also arranged a samsarika (family) programme.

Want to watch?

Sir, it's samskritika (cultural).

M*****r F*****r!

What I say is correct.

Shut up and watch.

Watch.

Is that your wife Chikka?

No boss.

Then why are you staring like that?

The function was going on grandly. I lost it and...

Bloody! I've been calling you since half an hour!

You didn't answer. Had you responded, I'd have told you the news.

The function was a flop!

What happened darling?

Chikka,

Boss -After listening to the matter,

I did it rather well. -Huh?

Dance and steps. -Ah steps!

So,

what does your short-term president say?

Boss

Two patches still remain in the corner of the temple.

I had kept aside green paint.

Shall I take it?

Hey Naga, you should be careful while handling paint.

Now look at how you've soiled yourself.

What are you doing here?

There's some work going on at school.

They wanted two sacks of cement. That's why I'm here.

How many sacks?

Two.

Not two. Say four.

Why the extra two?

To build your grave.

Don't make me say things!

Come dude.

Go, you'll know soon.

[The number you are calling is either switched off or not reachable at the moment.]

[Please try later.]

Hey did you finish the sums given by Krishnappa teacher?

Why should I? He's not a teacher. His other name is fraud teacher.

My father has told me not to go his class. You carry on.

Krishnappa teacher is here! Run!

[He's not Krishnappa teacher. He has another name. Fraud teacher.]

[My father has told me not to go to his class. You carry on.]

[The number you have called is not reachable at the moment.]

Hand me the money first.

Sorry, I forgot.

Forgot? If many more like you forget, I'll have to forget running my stall.

Will you grandpa repay the old dues?

500 rupees?

Wait let me get the change.

Krishnappa.

What's with your friend?

By the time I got change after clearing his dues, he left in a huff.

Old dues?

Yes, the free teas he had here.

You gave us the free teas and now you're asking to be paid?

Yes man. How will I earn then?

So he walks off without taking the petty change?

Yes he doesn't talk to petty people who do that.

It's okay, I'll give this to him.

Raghu, did you just shout at me?

It's fine, I got my money.

Sir, it won't help to just worry.

We must take a step forward.

Now with elections nearing, Loki will use this as an excuse and canvas to fool people.

I feel it's better we meet our people before that.

There's nothing wrong in what he said.

Nothing wrong.

I'm a fighter too. And am not sitting quietly either.

If the function is grand, it might help elections I thought.

It turned to be this.

I don't want to avenge what he's done and be shamed in front of people again.

Let's be careful this time.

What shame? Next is only puppy shame.

What Shankara? -As you say boss.

First let's see what he does.

After that, we'll plan our move.

What's the matter Krishnappa?

Why do you want a transfer suddenly?

After I retire in four years, it's your turn to become the HM.

The kids are calling me a fraud teacher.

Then there are all kinds of people coming after me. I don't want the school to get a bad name.

They are kids!

They speak what's been fed to them at home.

Our duty as teachers is to erase the bad and fill in good.

As for the people who come searching for you,

if these eveil minds are so brave,

we are educators.

How courageous must we be!

They are not even worth the dust on your duster.

Forget all this nonsense and concentrate on work.

Come and take a class.

Sir... -Krishnappa.

I've given enough thought to this.

Even after all this, he roams around like a royal.

You might be able to keep mum. But I can't.

I'm not sitting here like some doll.

I feel twice as much as you are.

But because of the elections, I have zipped my mouth.

Once the elections are done, I'll gift him accordingly.

Prakasha.

I have spoken to the boss. Barge in tonight.

Just remember one thing.

Don't kill him.

What wrong have I done, Shashi?

Why are they thrashing me?

In school, the kids call me names.

If the kids I teach do this,

I feel like I've died a thousand times!

Krishna

You know what you are.

Why should you believe what they say about you?

Please eat.

Don't worry Krishna.

You'll understand if someone had called you names.

It's easy to console.

How will you know what it feels like?

You've got it all wrong Krishna.

I got to know what people gossip about me when my parents spoke about it at home.

It's not about the people.

My own father,

calls me a widow who's a burden living in his home.

And my mother wants to get me married to her brother.

Except for me, everyone is taking decisions about my life.

You're unable to handle it for 2 days.

So think about how I must feel when I listen to such talk all year round.

Amidst all this, the only time I smile is when I see your face Krishna.

Krishna, whatever we lose, we always find it in the place we've lost it, isn't it?

Now, you have lost your reputation.

And better than me, you know where to go and find it.

Shashi

Krishna...

Look at me.

A maths teacher must not lose count of the lessons life has taught him, right?

Mahalinganna, look at how coolly he's drinking tea after bluffing about bringing the CM.

Damn, he heard us.

It's inconvenient to others, so better not smoke at a bus stand isn't it?

Yeah right! You're the one to talk about right and wrong!

Get lost.

Take it lad.

Ticket.

Sir, ticket.

Sir, where to?

[Now my trips are only to Vidhan Soudha, Krishna.]

Sir!

Tell me. Who are you?

Sir, my friend Nandish

works in Vidhan Soudha.

I thought you might know him.

I don't know anyone by that name.

Maybe you've forgotten. I'll show you his picture.

He's very close to the CM, sir.

Oh this guy! And you are his friend?

I don't know how much the state is making use of our CM.

But he's using the CM's name very well!

Why do you say so?

At least one person comes in search of him every day.

He gives them different names.

He's given the right name only to you.

That's why I got confused.

I thought he's dead as no one came searching today.

So now he's proved he's alive.

Why sir?

How's Nandish as a person?

He was a security guard here.

For the past 3 months, he got busy with party workers and quit the job.

He roams around with tokens now.

He's fooled many people by selling the same land to different people and taking huge sums from them!

Where can I meet him now?

[-Do one thing.]

[-Let's not watch a Kannada film. There will be many people.]

Sir.

I had kept my bag here. Did you see it?

[We are not responsible for your belongings.]

My god, this is a lovely world!

[Krishna, now you have lost your reputation.]

[Whatever we lose, we find it wherever we've lost it, right?]

My god, this is such a lovely world!

They laugh by wiping you out, my god!

[Song on radio]

Brother...

Can I sleep here tonight?

Will somebody chase me away?

Looks like you've just come to Bengaluru.

Don't worry. Come here.

We work here.

Come.

Wait. I'll give you something to sleep on.

Pillow, sheets, I have it all.

This is to rest your head.

This is a blanket.

Did you eat?

No?

Did you?

Don't feel shy.

When it comes to food, never feel shy.

I ate brother.

You ate at 9 in the morning and nothing after. Am I right?

Take. There's curry and rice in it.

There's greens and dal.

Eat and go to sleep.

[This is such a lovely world, my god!]

Brother

How did you rightly guess that I ate at 9 am?

I've done a Phd in hunger, my man!

He's not answering my calls, sir.

He won't answer our calls.

Call him from an unknown number,

He'll surely answer.

Oh god!\-Sir!

Sorry sir.

Sir, I want to make an important call. Can you give your phone for a little bit?

This morning, my wife asked for my phone password.

I pretended to give it to her and dropped the phone.

Sorry, I'm unable to give my phone for a little bit.

Because even a little bit of the phone isn't with me.

It's broken into little pieces.

That's okay sir, because my family hasn't broken into little bits.

If you give a little space, I'll head to office for a little bit.

Sir, can you give your phone for a little...

Not little. I wanted to make a call.

It's urgent.

Phone... -Phone?

Sure. And you make a call to Pakistan or Afghanistan.

Then the cops will take and thrash me.

You look like a thief.

Sir, me? -Then who? Me?

Do I look like a thief to you?

So you called me a thief?

No way! -Thank god, I didn't give you the phone.

Hey chotu, give me spanner number 10.

[Couple filming reels]

Phone!

Baby, we haven't been able to film even one reel since morning. Go baby!

Don't worry darling. We will try!

You've been saying it since morning. And the phone keeps falling off.

Sir...

What man?

I want to make a call, sir.

Why should I give you my phone man?

Go man!

Baby! One moment, listen to me. -You shut up baby.

You won't get it.

He will take the phone and run.

What doing? You see his face? Same face of a thief.

Same face like yours baby!

I meant thief because you stole my heart!

You're a monkey, baby!

Okay listen. Where is your ear?

Sir!

Please come sir!

Ready 1, 2, 3!

Hey zoom man!

[Song continues]

Hello -Hello, tell me.

Is that Nandish? -yes.

What do you want?

We wanted to buy a site in Bengaluru. -Okay.

Somebody gave me your number. -Sir they've given the right number!

[Come near Gopalan mall at 10 am tomorrow.]

Krishnappa!

You? -Yes, me.

Nandish!

Wait!

Bhagya!

I know I've done wrong Krishnappa.

You're anger is justified.

Whenever I look at my baby, I feel it's okay if I commit wrong,

and vowed that I'll save my child.

They said it will cost Rs 6 lakh for the operation.

I somehow managed to arrange Rs 3 lakh.

To get the balance amount, I did all wrongs possible.

But I couldn't arrange the money.

And you called at the same time.

I didn't even think of our friendship and made a huge mistake Krishnappa!

The Rs 3 lakh your president gave me,

I paid for his operation and got him discharged this morning Krishnappa.

I don't know how to say sorry to you.

Krishnappa!

Get up.

Get up!

Sorry Krishnappa.

What are you thinking about Krishna?

For the mistake you've done, the village is treating me like a thief.

Sorry Krishnappa.

You've already said sorry, Stop it.

How many times will you say it? -No I won't.

Sorry.

If I have to regain their respect, you must help me.

Will you?

Ask for anything you want Krishna.

Do you know the CM's house?

I do.

Let's go there tomorrow and meet him.

You think it's that easy to meet him?

As if he's waiting to talk to you.

[-"Why are you writing a letter? Can't you just tell me", he shouted and confirmed he'll come.]

[Happy now?]

Brother, have tea.

Why didn't you make coffee?

Hello, I drink tea itself.

You got it at the right time.

Give it.

-Sir, excuse me! Sir!

[Be it farmers or the citizens who come to your home with their problems, it's alleged that you never meet them.]

[What's your response, sir?]

Tell me, who gave you this information?

The opposition sir.

You're already stating they're the opposition.

That's their job.

Be it good or bad, it's their job to poke fun at it.

But you are an educated lot.

Journalists. You must think over these matters.

What questions are these?

And you expect me to answer them.

Many farmers and organisations come to see me on a daily basis.

Have you ever seen me not responding to any of them?

Today, I was late for the assembly.

I have to finish it and leave for the US.

Lots of works to be done and at such a time, you ask me these baseless queries.

So now you want me to call one of them and talk speak to them?

The you will feel satisfied, right?

Come here.

Sir, me? -Yes.

Yes you, come. -Krishnappa, go!

Sir greetings! -Greetings to you too.

What's your name?

It's Krishnappa, sir.

Krishnappa, how can I help you?

Sir, my village is facing problems with road, electricity and a school.

We have built a temple in the village sir.

I've come to invite you for the inauguration sir.

Don't worry, it's a small matter Krishnappa!

If I am free, I'll definitely come.

Jagdish. take his address and details. -Yes sir.

Krishnappa, I'll speak to them and meet you later. I need to talk to you.

Ok sir! -Krishnappa, come with me.

Ok sir. -Come.

So, content now?

Henceforth, if anyone asks anything about me,

be it from opposition or elsewhere,

tell them that the public is the king.

They have given me the responsibility of this position with their votes.

If he doesn't do his work, he will be sitting in the opposition tomorrow and poke fun.

So don't waste time and give your brains some work to do.

You too work for the good of people.

Say the same thing to them.

I hope you understood.

Sir! He said he wanted to talk to me!

Sir!

Sir will leave! One moment, I'll speak to him and come!

Sir, he told me this right in front of you!

Sister, what happened to him? -Doctor is yet to come.

I hope he isn't in danger. -The doctor is yet to come. Please sit.

Sir. -Yes?

This is a patient, Krishnappa's report. -Let me see.

Krishnappa, we were concerned about the reason you fainted and conducted a few tests.

But nothing to worry.

You are perfectly all right.

You may have fainted owing to anxiety and restlessness.

By the way, what work do you do?

I am a maths teacher at a government school.

So, my job is easy.

Sir?

So it's easy to explain what I have in mind.

Why sir?

Is there a problem?

No.

When I saw your blood report, especially the blood group,

I was in shock.

Do you know your blood group?

No sir.

When they had asked for it for a document, I gave a random group.

Why sir?

A, B, AB, O, positive, negative are terms you'd have heard.

But your blood group isn't any of this.

It's called RH Null.

This blood group is rather rare.

I'll tell you how it was invented with a story.

In 1961, in some country,

the blood of a 10 year old boy called Thomas was infected.

So they admitted him to a university hospital.

The doctors there were shocked.

Because they just couldn't find out his blood group.

Thomas dies because he couldn't get blood in time.

When they sent his blood samples to Amsterdam and Paris post his death,

what they got to know was,

there were no RH antigens in it.

So they gave a new name to that blood group.

As RH Null.

We call it as golden blood in our field.

In the whole world, only about 50 people have this blood group.

And you are one of them.

My hope is if you donate blood, some patient, in some corner of the world might be benefited.

Think over it for 10 minutes and tell me Krishnappa.

Krishnappa, think about it.

You're one amongst the 50 people in the world.

It's not blood that's in your veins but gold!

Thank god, I'm not a Bengalurean to think twice to even help people, Nandish.

Krishnappa you taught me that when one is hungry, one must always eat food and not dirt.

Look after the baby well, Nandi.

I will repay the money you spent on me at the hospital, when I go back.

Krishna, please don't insult me.

I'll somehow ensure that I return the money I took from the president.

[-Don't worry. All will be well.]

See you Nandi

Hello, who's it?

[-We want a corner site in Yeshwantpur. Do you know any?]

[Sir, I'm not into real estate now.]

Boss, they've put Veeranna's flex at the entrance of the village.

[Where shall I get yours put?]

What's his symbol?

[-Bangles boss.]

Bangles my a$$!

Put my flex opposite his! -[Okay boss.]

What happened sweetheart?

Some silly matter.

Come baby, sit on my lap.

Prakasha

[Sir] -They've thrown cow dung at boss's flex.

[-What!] -Bring machetes and rods.

Why machetes for that fellow? I'm on my way.

[A scuffle in progress]

What's up big shot? Where did you flee from the village?

Where else Vasu? After the CM, now he went to fetch the PM!

We forgot!

Beat him up!

Already as expected, fights have begun.

Our boys are thrashing up Loki's men.

Boss, the idea of throwing cow dung on the flex is successful!

Come after 10 minutes.

Some of our boys must be thrashed properly.

They must come crying in pain.

People must see it and think of Loki as a horrible man.

We must have people's opinion in our favour and use every occasion neatly till the end.

Boss!

Your brains are extraordinary!

I'll handle the rest, don't worry.

Shankara. -Boss.

Send me all the updates on the phone. -Okay boss.

What's up b******d?

Escaped from the village because you'll get beaten up?

My name is Krishnappa, sir.

Not b******d.

It's been 30 years since my mother died, sir.

Why bring her in between this?

If I was scared that I'll be beaten up, I'd have left the village that day itself.

I went for a different reason.

Somebody I love told me that you must seek what you lost, in the place you lost it.

So I went. But I didn't find it.

Let's see.

I might find it in future.

Even if you hit me, I won't feel bad sir.

Had I been in your place,

I probably would have been as angry as you.

In a way, there's justice to you beating me up.

Even now, I'm not saying don't beat me up.

But don't make me bleed that's all.

The doctor has said that my blood is very special!

It might help someone in an emergency.

Hey, what are you barking?

I'm a human sir. I don't bark.

I speak. Forget me. Let's talk about you.

Our villagers are very innocent, sir.

They don't have the capability to think.

Someone who thinks, will also understand,

that you have built the temple around elections,

and that in the name of God, you are fetching votes.

Sir, why do politicians become as alert as soldiers during elections?

And once they win they are useless as corpses?

If you don't have faith in your work,

then how will people believe you?

You have 5 years in your name.

Instead of only making money, even if you do some work when you're bored,

the lives of people will change, sir.

Looking at your work, people themselves will vote for you.

When I asked you to send cement for school repairs,

you said, "if any bags remain, I shall send."

Is it a place that you send remains to sir?

It's beyond even a temple.

Instead of opening your eyes wide and looking at me,

open your heart wide and listen to my words sir.

You'll understand.

See you sir.

Krishnappa sir.

Not b******d.

Good morning children.

Hey, it's Krishnappa teacher. Let's go.

Let's not attend his class. Lets go.

Lata.

Why's everyone going away?

Sir, when you weren't here, Vasantha's dad, Shankaranna and others had come sir.

They asked for you and created a ruckus.

Our parents have told us not to attend your class fearing we'll get in trouble.

ONE MONTH LATER -Siddanna.

Where are you Shankru?

-I'm near the temple.

An Innova is going into the village.

Check whose it is.

Sir, greetings.

Greetings.

Where is Krishnappa's house? Can somebody show me?

Is it the same Krishnappa? -Who sir?

Sir!

Krishnappa the teacher, right?

Yes, him. -Wait, I'm coming.

Move Shankranna! Sir, Krishnappa is my close friend!

Come, I'll show you.

Show me.

Sir, who is in the car?

I'll tell you later.

Please show the house first.

We've come from far to see him.

Please! -Come with me sir.

Please follow my cycle. Let me warn you that my cycle is really fast!

Careful!

Come. -Okay, we'll follow you.

We couldn't see who it was.

Who could it be?

Prakasha, let's go there and see. -Come boys.

Let me give the information to the boss.

God knows who he's sleeping with!

Krishnappa, someone's here to see you.

A big car.

What's this Krishnappa?

Don't you invite guests into your home?

Sorry sir.

Come in sir.

I was pulling your leg that's all.

Sir, I'm Krishnappa's close friend.

I told this to your assistant too. -Really?

Good!

[The CM touched me!]

You continue talking sir.

[CM held me!]

Sir, please come in.

It's okay Krishnappa. I'd rather sit out in the open.

Let's sit here.

Okay sir.

Why did sir come in a single car? What happened to those multiple cars that come one after another?

He's come on personal work, fella.

Unlike others he doesn't use the official vehicle for personal work,

Sir, I am a very close friend of Krishnappa!

You've already told me this.

Last time I said I'm a close friend. This time, it's a very close friend!

Sir, it's a small house. I'm feeling awkward.

Even if the house is small, one's heart must be large, Krishnappa.

The CM and our man are...

I come from a similar background.

I have lived and experienced life in a hut.

Please sit.

No sir. -Please sit.

[Villagers murmuring]

I have a request.

Please don't make noise.

The CM is here to speak on an important matter.

Please stay silent.

Guys, zip your lips!

Hey Kishore, note down the names of all those who talk.

I will.

Are you wondering why the chief minister has come to see you?

Yes sir.

The man who I touched the other day and washed his hands with soap after,

has come to see me, which shocked me sir.

I'm shocked myself that the man I met accidentally last time, is the man I came searching for today.

This is how destiny works.

But you mentioned something to me.

Water, soap, washing my hands.

The last time, you put your hands on my shoulder and spoke to me.

Isn't that why you washed your hands near the car?

Did someone tell you that?

Saw that Krishnappa? He's washing his hands because he touched lesser folks like us.

Krishnappa!

This is how fake news spreads.

I had to attend the assembly.

I had no time for breakfast too.

So they had packed food for me from home.

I hail from a village.

I eat with my hands and not a spoon

So I washed my hands before eating, that's all.

I misunderstood you sir...

So we are set to host an auspicious occasion in my house.

Usually, before such events, it's customary to place the first invite at the lord's feet.

Now you've been like a god to us. So I want to start with you.

Krishnappa, my daughter met with an accident and lost a lot of blood.

She has a strange blood group.

Only 50 people have it around the world.

Whether it's my daughter's luck or my good fortune,

we got that blood in Bengaluru itself.

Do you know who donated it?

It's not just this time sir.

I'll donate blood every six months.

So tell me now Krishnappa,

are you not like a saviour to me?

I have come to give the first invitation to you.

It's my wish. Not just wish, it is also my daughter's order.

Jagdish. -Sir.

Sir.

You must come. -Sir.

I don't know what to say sir.

Don't say anything.

My daughter wants to speak to you.

She says it's a must.

[Yes my dear. You had ordered to speak to Krishnappa. He's next to me. Talk]

Take.

Dude! Hi!

Radhamma!

You? -Yes me!

I'm the special person who received your special blood dude!

What a moment man!

I'm feeling so blessed right now!

So finally, my close friend had to come to save my life.

How are you now Radhamma?

After all, who donated the blood! My friend!

It's rustic blood! I'm doing fine!

Now don't expect thanks because you helped me.

No! -Why should I say thanks?

It's you who gave it!

Did I even ask you Radhamma?

Why didn't you tell me you were the CM's daughter?

Would you have befriended me had I told you that?

Just as happy as I was when I was told you gave me the blood,

my head ached as much when the doctor gave me a lecture on the blood's rarity.

Same here Radhamma.

You must come a week ahead of the wedding dude.

I will not get married if you don't.

See you dude. They've given me many painkillers.

I'm sleepy. I'll call you later.

And hey, please convey my regards to Shashi!

Bye! I love you!

Krishnappa...

No sir!

At this time, if I ask you what you want, it will be selfish of me.

And I don't want that.

So tell me what your village needs. I'll do it for you.

Sir, about the problems of our village...

I'll fetch somebody who can convey them better me.

Please do.

Sir, greetings!

Sir I am Veeranna, the president of the gram panchayat.

Greetings sir.

Veeranna, so tell me how can I help your village?

Tell him sir. -Tell me.

Sir, whatever problem we face here, we solve it ourselves.

Now one issue needs immediate attention. -Tell me

[Now, we don't know if you'll pave roads in our village.]

[Or power lines fixed.]

[But please develop the school sir. The kids will study and develop their own village sir.]

If you get a school built here, it will be good for our village sir.

That's all I want sir.

Sir, convent schools demand lakhs of fees.

We can't afford it.

Sir, if our kids become educated, they will become capable enough to make this a self-sustaining village.

Then there will be no need for politicians like me sir.

I request you & the government to donate education sir.

Please do the needful sir. -My god!

What a noble thought! And a selfless act Veeranna!

We need selfless people like you in politics. And fight for the people.

Sir!

Very happy!

You get ready to for the next elections.

I'll come and canvas for you.

Sir!

You spoke about developing the school. The work will begin tomorrow.

Okay sir.

No, no. -Sir...sir.

All your blessings sir.

See you Veeranna. -Bye Krishnappa.

I feel, somehow, we'll meet once again!

Bye dude!

Boss, even at such a time...

I was so tensed I didn't know what to do.

What next?

Is it your wife chikka?

It's not boss...

Boss... -Chikka...

It is my wife boss!

Chikka!

What's all this Krishnappa?

By ensuring I was honoured in front of all,

you made me feel really small.

Sir, you're a great man.

The CM asked me what our village needs.

I'm asking you the same.

I'm ready to give up my life for you.

I swear on myself.

Ask me Krishnappa.

Actually, since many days I wanted to ask you something.

I wanted to speak to you too.

Ask me without any kind of tension.

Actually...

Shashi...

So what's special in the news today?

"A seven-year long wait by a lover for his lady love."

"The lovers finally united."

Sorry sir! Forgive us sir!

As you said, all the bad memories are erased from their minds sir.

Well done!

Thank you sir.
