Original subtitles

The night when rain killed a hundred people, was there an eyewitness?

There was one.

-Devayya? -Huh?

What is happening, Ramayya?

ECT… electro convulsive therapy.

What does that mean?

Shock treatment, officer.

They pass minor electric shocks and make him remember his past.

No problem, grandpa. Don’t worry.

-Lakshmi! -Hmm?

Is there no other way?

It’s been 25 years since he lost his memory.

This is the only way to regain it quickly.

Grandpa… grandpa, what is your name?

Grandpa?

Grandpa, tell me. What is your name?

Grandpa, can you remember something? Try to remember.

Grandpa, it will hurt a little. Please, bear it.

Enough, Lakshmi. That’s enough.

Let’s find some other way.

-Officer… -Hmm?

Hold the old man. Let’s take him to the village.

Devayya

Hmm?

Huh?

My name…

De… Devayya

When it rained on Devathala Gutta,

you were there, weren’t you, grandpa?

Grandpa…

Do you remember what happened that day?

(people screaming in pain)

Son, that night on Devathala Gutta…

you were there too.

Your naming celebration happend that day.

Devarajula Rama Krishna Patwari.

That day when you were bathing in the pond after spending a night,

I saw your half-done tattoo of Mallanna and knew you were Mahadev’s son.

Are you here, lord? Have you arrived?

The lord has come. The lord is here.

Forgive me, grandpa, for troubling you.

Please, don’t mind.

Lakshmi, I wanted to tell you about me.

Lakshmi…

I am sure you have your reasons for keeping this from me, Rama Krishna.

I can understand.

But don’t hold back anything from me ever.

However big the danger may be, let’s face it together.

I will make a move.

Send me word if there is anything.

How are you, Devayya?

-Hmm. -Good.

Take it.

I had asked you to leave.

If you really had left,

all of us would have had to drown in river Krishna with tears.

We are all indebted to you, Ramayya.

My mom and dad hail from here.

How can I not do even this?

Yes. True.

This village, the forest and the river... this soil…

And the four directions stand testimony to your parents’ love.

Is there an important place to the east of the fort?

Hmm?

To the east of the fort?

What is there?

There are houses here and there.

Then there is the river beyond them.

There is a forest on the other side.

There is a huge, old well that no one has used in thirty years, Thats all.

Old well.

To the east of the fort, There is an old well.

That was a rendezvous for your parents.

It was there that Pashupati found them.

A well to the east of the fort…

I searched the entire forest. Only the well is left.

I must search it.

Sir, sir!

Ramayya climbed down into the well on the east.

RAMA…

I cannot confidently say it was for this.

I need some more time.

These documents must be kept safe till then.

-Take it and deposit it in our locker room. -Hmm.

Hey, found it.

Let’s go.

-Let’s go! -Let’s go!

It may be better…

To take him to the District Hospital.

Yes, sir.

Recovery will be difficult otherwise.

You can go along, father-in-law.

I will take care of things here.

Hmm.

Hey…

He replaced the original documents with fake ones.

I want the original ones.

Go, search in every nook and corner. Get to work.

Okay, sir.

Hmm?

When I could discover your past,

can’t I guess you will come for the papers?

How long will you hind behind the mask?

Raghupati?

How many times will you obstruct my way?

You think I will sit watching?

Hey!

Break his bones but find where the documents are and then kill him.

Huh?

Run. Hey, run!

How dare you touch my grandson?

-Grandson? -Huh!

Wait, my King! Wait.

Devayya, who got his senses back, met me.

Your grandson is here, King! He is here.

When the whole village is in angst with broken hearts,

how can you be silent?

If you sneaked in masked in the middle of the night,

those documents must be very important to you.

I will tell you where they are.

But I should know the truth first.

Let me ask you again.

Who are you working for, uncle?

Azam Khan.

Who is Azam Khan?

A business tycoon from Hyderabad.

How are Azam Khan and Amaragiri connected?

25 years ago, your dad introduced him to me.

Mahadev, where have you brought me?

Do you know about this place?

Ah.

I heard people say.

Whenever the Nawab went hunting to Nallamala,

he would eat the soil from here.

Mahadev!

What are we doing in this place?

We must leave for Hyderabad right now.

Salam aleikum, sir. This way.

Deva!

Why don’t you tell me at least now where we are?

Azam Khan… a big businessman.

What Jamshed Tata is to India, he is to Hyderabad.

Mahadev! Amaragiri’s prince!

Thank you for your time, sir.

The pleasure is mine.

I have heard a lot about your dominion.

Please, have your tea.

Wow!

Master’s Degree from a university.

Excellent.

Thank you, sir.

I want my education to be of use to my country.

I need your support for it.

Sure, Mahadev.

But what sort of support are you looking for?

I want to rent your flight at Begumpet for a day.

What?

I could have asked the government but it is yet to be formed.

That’s why I am asking you.

But why?

A majority of people in our country live on agriculture.

Though the farmers here have lands,

since there is no water, they depend only on rains.

But when rains don’t come in time, they kill themselves.

Farmers are hailed as kings.

But they are dying of starvation.

There have been hunger deaths in my dominion too.

To stop these deaths and drive away famine and hardships,

I want to make an experiment.

Experiment?

I will make it rain.

Artificial rain.

Irrespective of the season.

I will create artificial rain.

What are you saying, Mahadev?

Rain is a part of nature.

Only God can make it happen.

How can a man create it?

Cloud seeding.

Modification of clouds.

Countries like America and England have already done cloud seeding.

But they couldn’t get the results they hoped for.

I made a study of why they couldn’t.

And I have come up with a formula.

The formula is called Varuna.

And then?

Varuna is in its last phase.

I need your aeroplane to execute the formula.

Sounds good, Mahadev.

But where will you conduct this experiment?

The first experiment will be done in the lab.

If it is successful, we begin the actual cloud seeding.

With the help of the aeroplane,

we release the Varuna formula into the cloud.

A few minutes after that condensation begins.

The cloud becomes heavy.

After some time,

the water in the cloud will precipitate in form of rain.

Sir, give me a chance.

If this cloud seeding succeeds,

we will be helping our country and our farmers a lot.

Your idea has substance, Mahadev.

Hmm. You can go ahead.

Do whatever you think you should.

You will always have my support.

When it comes to the welfare of the country, Azam Khan always steps forward.

Thank you, sir.

-Thank you so much. -Hmm.

-Let’s go. -Thank you.

God bless you.

A week after we left Hyderabad,

I received a letter.

Azam Khan asked me to meet him in private.

This country is going to see a major change soon, Raghupati.

Once you drove the Nizam away, lords and dominions have become obsolete.

The congress wants to introduce the British Electoral System here.

Then what about your political future?

What’s going to happen to that?

Your father-in-law, Raja Narasimha Rao, what if he declares his son as his heir?

I like your silence, Raghupati.

If Mahadev’s experiment gets successful, and if he can create rain,

he will become a god for Amaragiri.

A god!

Then where will you stand?

I don’t care whether your love for Yashoda is true or not.

I can say one thing for sure.

You want to be an achiever like me.

You were a communist leader in your college days.

You took part in the freedom struggle.

What for?

For power, wasn’t it?

Now if your father-in-law wants to bestow that power on his son,

you are not a joker in a circus, are you?

Only by removing those who stand in our way can we progress.

Join hands with me.

I will make you king of Amaragiri.

Hmm.

What do you want?

Varuna…

Mahadev’s cloud seeding formula.

A young scientist.

A bastard born to an English officer of the Secunderabad cantonment.

Take him and introduce him to Mahadev.

He will take care of the rest.

Joseph! Meet this gentleman, Raghupati.

He will explain everything to you.

Thus, he introduced Joseph to me.

Joseph alias Veeranna.

Sir, sir! The huts on the south are on fire.

Huh?

Rama… let’s go fast.

-Officer! Accompany grandpa. -Okay.

-I will stay here. -Sir, please, come.

Rama Krishna!

Lakshmi… Lakshmi…

What happened?

Someone came and took off with dad.

Salam aleikum, Azam Khan!

Sir!

Joseph has made a bio plan.

When it is used, the enemy will lose his memory immediately.

-Is the testing done? -Yes, sir.

Mission testing was done in Amaragiri.

The initial testing was a success, sir.

But when we were doing the final testing, there was a small disturbance, sir.

Because of one man, our entire effort has gone to waste.

25 years ago, you said the same thing, Azam Khan.

You were talking of turning rain into a weapon.

The result was failure.

That time too there was just one man behind your failure.

Exactly, sir.

The man because of whom our mission was a failure,

it is because of his son that we are in this situation today.

Probably, we have placed too much of trust in you and your calibre.

For God’s sake, please don’t say that, sir.

Just give me some more time.

Along with this new weapon,

the 25 year old weapon, I mean the documents of the formula,

that we couldn’t get hold of because of MLA Raghupati’s haste,

are now available to us.

They are in our hands, sir.

Just give me two weeks of time.

I shall send you both the bioweapons in time.

This is Azam Khan’s word.

Sir?

Hello?

You will only get a week, Azam Khan.

A week?

Allah Hafiz.

Sir…

The documents are still at the fort.

I had to tell them everything, Joseph.

About Mahadev, about Varuna formula.

It’s okay.

No one in the village will stay alive by tomorrow.

We will get what we want.

Don’t fret.

Azam Khan is coming to Amaragiri.
