Ondu Shikariya Kathe (2020) - full transcript
A series of mysterious events befall when a famous novelist, an absolute follower of non-violence, takes up a gun and goes on the hunt.
Sit down
He is Sudheendra,
son of Shambhu Shetty
Thanks...
...for agreeing to tell me about
what you know about my dad
I was in this town for 3 to 4 years
after my birth...
Later my parents went away from me
I dont even remember their faces
I have seen them only in photo
My mother didn't let me come here
till she was alive..
After her death, many a time
I felt like coming here to see dad
During that time only,
I saw this article in the newspaper
By the way, one more thing...
I have a friend Kumar from this place
in Bangalore...
...knowing that I am coming here,
he has entrusted me a task
I was told that his house in this village
has been vacant for 3 to 4 years
That house & the site has to be sold...
...he told me to enquire about it
Before coming here we went to that
house and came
Come...
The place is a bit dirty...
It's Ok
Who did all this?
As you have come here
to know about your father
...to understand everything about him...
...you have to know about this
I enquired some people about my dad,
and they said many things
What really happened to my dad?...
...is what all I heard true?
Salutations to Lord Vignesh and
Goddess Saraswathi...
Harsha...
(Yakshagana song in the background...)
Uncle....
...let there be many defensive
formations like Chakravyuha...
...I will ensure that Pandavas army
will come victorious
...Abhimanyu is going with enthusiasm
Ignite my enthusiasm with oil & lamp
and send me off to battlefield
I myself will tell about him
He is Mohana...
...had his own jeep...
...the beetle nuts, cashews grown here...
...were reaching the market in his jeep
Greetings sir...
...greetings...
...Vijay has not come?
He has gone for some wedding...
...he has weighed the beetle nut and sent
He will come tomorrow and collect money
Is it you?
Give me some money atleast
I have scheduled an important work today...
...if that work gets completed...
...I will give you more than this.
If I steal money from my brother's
pocket, what is wrong? Isn't it?
(Beetlenut godown)
I have been planning to visit Murudeshwar
for a long time...
...knowing about this...
...the workers in my shop have planned
a two day trip
...if someone comes here and say that
they will send beetle nuts...,
...please say no...
...no one will be here.
They will all leave this evening itself
You are as beautiful as a flower,
who are you, lovely lady?
who are you, lovely lady?
What is your name? ...
Who are your parents?
You are the matchless beauty on this earth
...Who are you lovely lady?
...lovely lady, lovely lady...
How long you have been doing this
without even telling me?
Who is she, where is her house,
I dont know anything...
...for the last two weeks, wherever
the Yakshagaana takes place...
...she was coming every day to watch
She was looking at me only
I am scared of talking to her...
...if she leaves before I remove my makeup,
how can I talk to her?
That's all?
When she has come to watch Yakshagaana...
...she has to look at the artist
and not the singer, right?
Hey...
I was joking...
How long will you take to speak to her?
Uma, how long it has been since I saw you!
I was coming here...
...but for couple of days...
...I was going back after seeing my parents
I could not roam around the town,
from now on I will be here only
That's Ok...
We are tired of telling your father,
at least you could tell him, right?
Mom, at least you could have told me...
...that Shambu Shetty is like that?
Uma...
- I dont know dad...
... tell Shambu Shetty tomorrow itself
that you are not coming to work now on
Do you believe what people in village
talk about him?
What else dad...?
...entire village is talking that he is
half mad
They say that you will also get mad
working with that person the whole day
Is this not enough for me to get scared?
The people in the village never tried to
understand him
Because one person talks,
others also talk...
...like you
To the outside world, he is a big novelist,
...but to the people of this village...
Knowingly or unknowingly, we should
not cause any sort of pain to others...
He was saying that if all of us have this
attitude, our place would be heaven
Within 5 to 6 years of his marriage...
...his wife separated from him with the son
For now he does not have any one, but me
If he saw ants, he would feed them
with sugar...
...and if he saw birds in his garden,
he feeds them with grains...
...else he would sit near the river and
keep watching the fish...
...whatever may happen, your dad was
not missing out these deeds
Take this...
...put it in water...
...to eat it, the fish will come
competing with each other...
...looking at them,
you can ease your boredom
Try it out once...
...you will enjoy it more than fishing
He used to cut nose threads of cows
...untie the ropes of any
animal that is tied up...
...if he comes across fishing net,
he would cut it and throw away
...people came to put up fight...
...hearing him, they thought he is half mad
For a long time, he has not written
even a single novel...
...he wanted to leave the house
and village...
To where?
Not to any specific place...
...he wanted to get relieved from life...
...and wanted to wander without direction
Sir...
- Hm...
...read it
The way you assert on non-violence
in depth in your novels...
...I like it very much
Reporters had written in paper about you
after talking to village people recently...
...that you are half mad...
...and they have said that you behave
and act strangely
We, your fans, know that is all false...
...but we dont know why the people
of your village have said so...
...we are very much interested to
know more about you
...so, you have to write your autobiography
like other novelists...
...that will give perfection
to your literary life
...and that will fulfill our desire too
In most of these letters....
...people have requested for your
autobiography, sir
Hm...
I want to get relieved of everything...
...that being the case...
...should I be writing again?
That too autobiography...
...writing about myself...
Why do you think so sir?
Thousands of people are waiting to
know more about you...
...and you want to go for spirituality
Even if you go there...
...the non-accomplishment
will not give you peace of mind
If I start writing,
it will take two or three years...
I am about to go, leaving everything...
...and I should not create anything new
Oh Satyabhame, come Satyabhama...
Show me your cute face
Come on, Satyabhama...
Show me your cute face
Oh lady, I am suffering from
the loss of your love
Hello kids...
...your sister's ring had fallen near the
theatre and you have not seen?
I wanted to talk to you...
Brother, stop the vehicle,
brother stop, stop...
Oh... beetle nut bag...
Oh!... two more bags...?
Brother, brother...
...two more beetle nut bags have
fallen somewhere
I told you earlier...
...that I will tie the rope...
...you did not listen to me
Brother, they would have fallen closeby...
...we will go and check
- no we cannot go back
Dont know where it has fallen...
...if we dont go fast,
the shop would be closed
Get on to the vehicle
Sister, come we will go there
Come quietly
- no I will not come
You were laughing at me
day before yesterday, right?
I have to talk to you
Tell me where we can meet
Tomorrow I will take all of you
to the beach to play...
...so you will come at least now?
- Hm
When you first played the Yakshagana
character, were you tensed up like now?
No
When you failed in first PUC?
- No
Ok, when you learnt about my jeep accident
during last Deepavali festival?
Hm?... No
Your name?
Uma
- I knew it
I had heard from the children
You dance very well
I like your costume very much
Oh, my costume!?
Same with me...
I like your interest in Yakshagaana
I had told the children that you will give
me the ring and that I will bring it...
...where is that ring?
It is not there now
Ok, I will leave now
Uma..
It is not just your costume...
...I like you also
Drizzles of love is pouring
on my heart incessantly
My heart is flying with wide spread wings
Whenever she smiles, it is the time
for the flowers of love to blossom
Moon and her beauty are competing
to overshadow each other
what an amazing feeling,
I am flying over the skies
My breath and heart beat
are raising and moving hapazardly
Drizzles of love are pouring on my heart
incessantly
Sir...
Sir...
...since two years we have been
yearning to feel the exitement
we are eagerly waiting for your next novel.
Your ever sincere admirer.
Shambu, your dad who had gone
for hunting has come...
That day the pride of winning the war
was seen in father's face...
...in every one's mind...
...sympathy, humanity will be there
sub consciously...
...but they had been defeated in father...
...violence, cruelty are not real victory
Lakshmi... call Shambu for lunch
He said he is not hungry, he is sleeping
You know how people are these days...
...if they see just a smile on the face...
...they will be thinking to cheat
a year's lease amount...
...that being so...
...your son should grow like a tiger
He is still a young boy
In his age I used to insist that
I would go with my dad for hunting
As he grows, he will become like you
You had asked for the ring, right
I need to talk to you at length
Here?
...oh... I had it
Then where else?
If you know how to run the float...
...there is a way
When the heart opens the doors
-two souls are yearning to move ahead...
... and moving through an endless
pathway on a wonderful journey
when love blossoms, a new world is born
a new poetry takes birth with the
touch and feel of love and happiness
Drizzles of love is pouring
on my heart incessantly
I had never lied to my mother like this
For a good cause, there can be
thousand lies
Ok, will your parents agree?
Mom will agree...
...but father may feel little bad
Why?
Dad works in Shambu Shetty's house...
...even if he doesn't show outside,
he will have the feeling within, right?
So my dad would tell often...
...after marriage his daughter should
be getting work done by people...
...and seeing that he should feel happy
His thinking is right...
...but this artiste can't do more than
earning for food and shelter
No, father will agree. I will convince him
Last week dad had come with Shambu Shetty
to watch Yakshagaana
I learnt that both of them liked your act
If the hunting craze grips once, enough...
...come with me today atleast
No dad
You are not respecting your dad's words?
I had kept quiet all these days
because I have the respect
Kept quiet, means what?
Dad, the very route of
your thinking is wrong
It's not just hunting...
...It's wrong to show our arrogance
on any body...
...be it a human being or animal
Dont talk rubbish
because you are educated...
...hunting for food is not a crime
Hunting for food is not a crime, dad...
...hunting to please the tongue
& for fun is not right
Now you are going for that only
Because he did not get any prey...
...or because of anger with me...
...he did not come home for two days
Came to know later that he had gone
to the tiger's den in the forest
On the third day he came with such a
pride, not seen earlier
Because...
...that day his hunt was...
...not for food
To get firewood or to graze cattle...
...people were scared to go to forest...
...the tiger which was the
reason for their fear...
...became a prey for my father's hunting
Female tiger... it even had cubs...
Sad...
...dont know where those cubs go...
...what they eat...
...they wont have the strength to hunt...
...and no mother to feed them
You will never chanage...
..that's why those giving lease money say..
...if father dies, they can breathe easy
with his son
That means you are torturing them
that they can't even breathe
Why all that dad?...
...let them give the lease amount
however much they can...
...why fight over it get
You are preaching me?
Those who dont have wisdom,
have to be preached
My father did not talk to me for two years
He did not even see my face
Look, I am telling you today...
...he is not my son at all,
I have no son at all...
...I will not see his face till I die
His health deteriorated and was bedridden
But even then...
...he did not call me near him
Once... at least once, take the rifle
and go to the forest...
...hunt atleast a wild hen and come...
...your father's anger will come down
Shambu...
Shambu...
For me it was a wonder...
...after two and half years,
dad had called me by my name
Shambu...
...I will not live for long my son...
...can you fulfill my last wish?
Yes dad... tell me what it is
You take the rifle and go to forest now...
...hunt a rabit, or any animal and bring
The meat brought by my son
should be cooked in our house...
...all our labourers...
...should enjoy the lunch praising my son
Son, please fulfill his wish...
...after that you can live the way you want
Be like Buddha, no one will ask you
We had got a rabit,
but Shambu did not shoot at all
Father was bedridden for long time...
But...
...why did he die the same day when I
returned empty handed from hunting?
Dad died because of me only...
...it's not just me who felt so...
My daughter had misunderstood you...
...I gave her one of your novels to read
After reading it, she has become your fan..
...today also I am taking a novel, ok?
What is the progress on your autogiography?
I have written till one stage...
...I can't write any more
Because of me dad suffered...
...and at the end, his death also...
Dad wanted me to be a strong hearted man
Gun in the hand, look for a good catch in
the forest and be a good hunter
I will be...
...if I fulfill his last wish...
...I can get relieved from this life fully
Dad had hunted tiger...
...even I have to hunt
You were performing tiger dance 10
years ago, right...
Yes...
I had liked your costume and dance
very much
Hari was to put up tiger costume and
spend couple of hours in an island
Shambu Shetty was to fill his gun
with dummy bullets...
...search Hari in those couple of hours
and shoot him
Hari was to escape from his sight
and from the aim of the gun
Instead of dodging his boss...
...Hari could have come in the sight of
Shambu Shetty sooner...
...then Shambu Shetty would have
easily hit the target
Then how could it seem to be
real hunting?
Hm... Shetty had found a solution
even for that
Though you are poor...
...you did not take any help
that I could have done to you...
...you were always telling that it would
look like begging...
But this hunting is like a
competition to you
Winning in a competition...
...will never be alms...
...it will be a prize
If Hari escapes from the gun's aim...
...Shambu Shetty had told that he would
give Hari two years' salary...
The animal that runs to
escape the aim of the gun...
...man who runs behind money...
...according to me, both their
speeds are same
The animal dies if hit by the bullet...
...and here if the bullet hits you,
you will not get the money
If there is no money...
...these days...
...though alive, is as good as dead
Then both are same right?
If everything happens as I planned...
...it's like I have fulfilled my dad's wish
This is madness
Dad was not mad, true...
...but what was the need for such
strange thoughts?
Two years' salary...
...that too, in a day
It is enough if I am careful for 2 hours
He does not know hunting...
...escaping is not that difficult
With that money, we can perform
Uma's marriage
I dont understand anything
- you dont need to understand
Hari...
-Sir?
You leave now...
...I will come after ten minutes
Hm
Listen...
...if it does not happen in two hours...
...I will fire in the air...
...you come back here
Hari...
- Hm?
Dad...always with a dissatisfied face...,
...and reserved Appanna Shetty is
what I remembered
But today...
...he looks smiling...
...look...
What do I say about Gulabi sister?...
...I have not seen her speaking loud
Where is Ganesh?
Ganesh brother...
Where is Ganesh brother?
- he is here only
Oh!
Be careful madam...
- hm
Mom, you took bath in the river and came?
Mom...
...Mom...
Dad, see mom has been sitting like this...
...she is not talking
What happened Gulabi?
...too many clothes to wash?
Are you tired?
Thinking that you would have left,
I did not come near the river
Dad, is mother talking now?
Today I met Vikas...
He and Ganesh were taking bath
in the river day before yesterday...
Seeing cloth floating,
mom has got into water...
...meanwhile, Ganesh who had dived
elsewhere, got out of water near mom
When I told him the way mom is
behaving now...
...he said she must be carrying the
same fear now
Gulabi...
...why are you doing this?
Look here...
...look here...
Oh, for such small thing, you get
scared like children?
Gulabi...
You had come to the river, I saw you
Last time you missed getting 2 years'
salary together...
...you would have felt bad then, right?
...you have that chance again
There were 2 bullet marks on the tiger's
skin, shot by dad...
...but, I fired only one bullet
at this tiger
He has done hundreds of hunting...
...atleast I have to complete one, right?
As it is second time, I feel that
I have some experience
Tiger needs more power
If you escape from my gun shot...
...I will give you 4 years' salary together
Hm... I have filled dummy bullets...
...tomorrow morning...
Are you still grieving over Gulabi?
You need to forget.
Time makes you forget everything
I will not force you...
There is still time to write autobiography
We can go at a later date
No...
...we will go for hunting
tomorrow morning itself
You had come to the river, I saw you
(Yakshagana in background)
Since the demise of Gulabi...
...Uma had not come to Yakshagana
As Harsha knew, he was waiting
for her to come on her own
Harsha brother, Uma sister asked
you to come to the usual place
Tiger outfit...?!
...why is it here?!
The bullet has hit the chest...
...oh, end of it...
I had loaded the live bullet
...to go to the same place where
my Gulabi has gone...
You sit here...
...I will just go and return,
please sit down
...to make him keep quiet
was a big challenge to me
He was talking about the sin of murder
and even covering it up
Please pardon me...
...at that time I did not have any thought
other than dying
That day, I did not let him go till he
said that he has pardoned me
You should never think of suicide again
Getting entangled with police, jail would
have affected his future spiritual life...
He underwent greater punishment
than what police or jail would give
There was a line in his novel that a
murderer has no right to live...
...the previous day he was reading
the same novel
I knew very well what was
running in his mind...
...knowing it, had I kept the rifle
in the same status,
...I would have been responsible
for his death, that's it
You should never think of suicide again
I reminded him what he told me
From that day he was dull for a week
A doubt was bothering me...
...whether he would write about Harsha
in his autogiography...
...added to it, the fear of police case
and jail also
The reason for my going for hunting...
...was to console my mind
But...
...to the outside world
it would seem as madness
If people think that I am fully mad...
...it would mean that I am spoling
the dignity of my book myself
Tell me who would listen to
the preachings of a mad man?
So... you...
...you are not writing those in your
autobiography?
Greetings, Shetty sir...
...you got any idea
for your new novel?
People like you get ideas
in such places, right?
Hm...
Wait Shetty sir, I need to talk to you
People in village talk different
things about you...
...but I dont believe any of them...
...I have lot of respect for you
You are a big novelist...
...even I have a story...
...can it be made a novel?
Will you please listen to my
story for ten minutes?
A village...
...two orphans...
...one is a youth of age 25 to 26...
...other one is your age
The person of your age was feeling
strange things now and then...
Suddenly, one day...
...he took the gun and left for hunting
with an accomplice
According to villagers, there is no animal
in the place selected by him
That another youth...
...that orphan...
...was also wandering in the same place
However much he tried, they could
not get any animal for hunting
At last...
...to satisfy his hunting craze...
...they will fire at the youth
wandering there
For the craze of big people...
...an innocent life becomes a victim
In the end...
...they bury the body there itself...
...and return to town as if
nothing has happened...
...and live peacefully
How is the story?
Why Shetty sir, what happened?
How do you know all this?
I know. That's it
The dead person is my friend
I am the only person who knows this
If this secret has to remain within me...
...I need your signature
Not as your fan wanting the
signature on your novel...
...I need your signature on stamp paper
that I am the owner of half your property
Think about it
There is nothing to think...
..I can't sell even an inch of property...
Everything is ancestral property...
...without signature of you and your mother
the nothing could not be sold
You think and decide...
...I will come to your house tomorrow
Can't live thinking of good and bad...
Doesn't the hungry tiger hunt and
eat deer in the forest?...
Good or bad, just or unjust,
nothing counts there
...same here
Hunger here means money...
...anything can be done for money
Sir, why did you come here?
I had asked you to wait there
The dead body is not there...
...tell me what you did?
I will take care of all that, come on
Hari...
...listen to me...
...bring the body and put it in float
Sir, I have already buried it
Harsha was not dead, then?
-Hm...
...he had died...
...in a way it was his death
When he returned home from there,
it was very dark...
...no one had seen him
Harsha...
Harsha...
When you have to be at the Yakshagana,
why are you here?
Harsha...
Harsha...
Mohan took Harsha to a small
hospital known to him
Hospital insisted that it is a police case
Mohan would not give up
They removed the bullet which was
just an inch above the heart
He was in the hospital for two days
To tell you the truth I have not
met Harsha since morning...
...I had to talk to him very urgently
I thought he would have come here
to meet you
Did your father come to know
about you guys?
No
Do you have rifle in your house?
No... Why?
That is...
...asked you to know if your father
has the craze for hunting
Hunting?...
...hunting? these days?...
...that too my dad!?
I dont think he has ever touched the rifle
in his life
Ok, I will leave now
If you meet Harsha, can you ask
him to come to this place tomorrow?
Hm
He understood that I have not done that
Other than me, the only person there
was Shambu Shetty
No one is staying in this house
since two years...
...every one is settled in Bangalore...
..they have no plan of returning for now
They send a fixed amount to my friend
every year to look after the house
I convinced him I will take care of the
house for half the amount and taken the key
Now, the upkeep of this house is mine
You have to stay here for few days...
...may be 15 days or a month
I want to talk to Shambu Shetty
- What is the matter?
He wanted to discuss on beetle nut
transportation & he had asked me to come
I have been doing that...
...is he going to speak himself?
Ok... come in
The income from beetle nut crop is around
1 to 2 lakhs per month...
...he was donating all the income
to orphanage till now...
...he does not have a rupee on hand
But, what did you discuss with him?
He will give us the monthly income from the
beetle nut crop for a year...
...you have to be here for a year
Totally it will be 20 to 25 lakhs...
...we will share and stop it there
I could not bear this for 15 days...
this is not possible...
...think of some thing else
You can stay in a different town
for a year
But your urge to meet Uma... your trying
to meet her...and the people seeing you...
...why all that problem?
Think about it
How did Harsha agree for all this?
Poor guy... was in two minds
But I have tell all this to Uma
No...
...no one should come to know
This sort of information spreads fast
Moreover, Uma's father works in
Shambu Shetty's house, right?
If you are not convinced, listen...
...it will be my responsibility to
unite you and Uma...
After one year you can move around
in village as you wish
There is no problem even if
Shambu Shetty sees you...
..I will take care of that
I feel it's difficult to accept
your these words
You say it is a challenge to live
without causing pain to another life...
Huh...
...it all depends on how we ourselves
groom our lives
May be...
... we will understand it at least
after reading your autobiography
Sir... please come for lunch
Hari...
Tell me sir
From this month onwards...
...you give me the cash proceeds of
the beetle nut sales
But... for the orphanage?
Not for now
No one should get any doubt...
...no one will come to this house...
...even then, we have to be very careful
Hey, hey, hey...
How is Uma now?...
...how does she feel if I am missing
all of a sudden?...
... the time spent so far
seems like ages...
...Tell me correctly
still how many days are left?
Eight months
Eight...
...hm, 240 days
Each day when you get me food...
...I am striking off
each one of these marks
Why all this?
Otherwise I dont understand anything,
I feel like I am lost
Sister...
...I understand Harsha brother
is not in the village!
Lord Krishna...
why doesn't Lord Krishna come?
Tell me dear
why doesn't Lord Krishna come?
its almost a month
since Lord Krishna last came
even the food has turned poison
do you know dear
even the food has turned poison
How long one can hide what is in mind...
...at last Uma told me about Harsha
He has not told even the Yakshagana
group
...I have my own doubt if he will come back
I will go mad if I think that my daughter
is not married after so long
If I go to near the river...
...I get some sort of peace of mind
I feel like staying there only
Greetings Shetty sir
if truth is out you will be punished
or put behind bars
The money that you are giving me now...
...you can continue it for another year...
Harsha...
- Hm?
What can be done with the money we have?
If both of us share,
it may be just 10 to 12 lakhs each
So what?
If you stay here for an year...
...both of us can get double this amount
You stay here for a week,
you will understand
I would have definitely stayed...
...think about it
It is possible Harsha
I am going out of here
day after tomorrow, that's it
Dont be scared that Uma will
go out of your hands...
...I will take care of uniting you both
Dad...
- Hm...
If you dont agree to get married
in the next two months...,
...whatever you think should not happen
will certainly happen
Why did you bring the food?
I would have come with you
Harsha... dont persist like children...
...nothing will happen
if you tolerate for a year
Not possible
Hey...
Only one year, keep quiet...
Harsha..
Hey...
Harsha...
- I can't, dont force me...
Mohana...
Mohana... Mohana...
Mohana closed the room completely ...
To give food...
...he made provision for window
from outside that he only could open
Hey... hey...
Hey Mohana...
Hey...
hey...
Though I knew all this...
Four acres...
...it is besides the road...
...good place to put up cashew factory
Will you come? Let's see and come
Mohana...
..Harsha?...
Shhhh...
Heard you are looking for alliance
for your daughter?
Yes, I want to complete that responsibility
Has Uma agreed for marriage?
I think you know about it...
...she was in love with that Harsha
Here... stop here
By the way...
...I told her in many ways...
...she did not agree at all
I dont know what she thought...
...one day she came and said that she
will marry any boy of my choice
This is the right time...
...before she could change her mind...
...I will marry her off
I am looking for an alliance
Thanks for dropping me till here...
...I will take leave of you
Is that not Uma?!
Whatever the number of years...
...it's my responsibility
to unite both of you
You can trust me in this matter
It's my promise to you
I am sure what I am doing is not wrong
Even if it is wrong...
...uniting you both will be penance to that
I am agreeable...
He wanted to talk to you...
...you can talk whatever you want
Uma...
...there is a reason for me to
take this decision...
That is...
I will not let both of them getting
injustice in this matter
They both should unite
Meaning...
...you will marry off your wife to him?
She is not my wife at all...
...and I will not look at her from
that perspective
She will be in this house
for a year on her own, that's it
Harsha will come one day...
...Mohan had in his mind to tell Uma
that he will unite you both
But, leave alone Uma talking...
...she was not even standing
in front of him
Sir...
...after completing your autobiography...
...do you have to go from here?
...spirituality or something else...
...can't you live that life here itself?
What you say is also right...
...to leave everything and go...
...is not possible for me also
It was not difficult to leave
the house, property...
...but the title of Novelist...
...the memory of father
who died years ago...
...wanting to write my autobiography...
...that has to be read by thousands
of people...
...huh
I could not leave any of these
The great life of spirituality...
...does not seem to befit
a selfish person like me
Leaving everything...
...it is for people like
Buddha and Baahubali
The moment they decided...
...they left everything and went
I am in no way comparable to them
At least for inviting for your brother's
wedding you came home!
But you did not invite us for your wedding
That happened in a hurry
Sister in law is very cute...
...when are you giving the sweet news?
Akku...
...what do you think about our pair -
Uma and me?
Not like that...
...I have promised Harsha that
I will unite both of them...
...even then...
Even then?
I dont know what she felt...
...one day she came and said...
...that she will marry any boy of my choice
May be Uma had decided to forget Harsha
Even otherwise...
Having gone missing for two years...
...if he has gone out of her mind also?
I need a help from you
Means?
Meaning...
...do you still have Harsha in your mind?
Look, you need not hide things from me...
The love affair between you and Harsha...
...and though married, how you are living
with Mohan, everything I know
What is in your mind now?
I did not marry you because I like you
If you proceed without heeding to my words,
...I will not do anything to you...
...but I will die
That day I was prepared to tell all that...
...but there was no need
Brother...
I wanted to die when dad forced me
for the marriage
But without knowing why Harsha cheated me
and went missing, I did not feel like dieing
But one thing is true...
...I cant imagine any one
in place of Harsha
But now I am getting another thought...
... knowing my father's pressure
for my marriage...
...if your brother came to marry me
May be your brother did this to unite
me and Harsha, whenever he returns
Otherwise tell me what other reason
he would have to marry me?
If Harsha returns...
...I think that we can be together again
He will trust me
He trusts your brother also
However much I dont want...
...the trust is growing beyond me
If you let me out now, I will not take
any revenge against you...
...will not even tell the truth to
Shambu Shetty...
...I will take Uma and go somewhere far
I am just asking you...
...if Uma is married by now?
If such a thing has happened...
...I will not spare you, who had
promised me and cheated
The sleeping beast, woke up today
roared wildly, without making a noise
neither could win her heart,
nor could gain her affection
the urge to win both at the same time
the thirst for Money and Beauty
... is pulling up the beast
The sleeping beast, woke up today
roared wildly, without making a noise
the creeper didn't wish to embrace the tree
it's waiting for another one
when one's greed opens up
when colourful lusts rejoice
The sleeping beast, woke up today
roared wildly, without making a noise
when the conspiracy came as
lightining and thunder...
Violence rains heavily
to kill the truth and put an end to
the story
the beast gets ready to kill the innocence
The sleeping beast, woke up today
roared wildly, without making a noise
What did you do to Harsha?
Tell me what you did
I am ready to die...
...why do you shoot from behind?
I will be looking eye to eye...
Load the gun... fire the bullet...
Hm...
But one thing...
...I have to see Uma last time...
...after that you do whatever you want
You have done so many mistakes...
...but you have not done something
that smears blood on your hands...
No Mohana..
...I definitely do not agree for this
Whatever happens, Harsha will not come out
If at all he comes out...
...it will be his dead body
To get a job done...
...people giving money to politicians or
officers, is called bribe
I am giving you money not to do a job
This is also called bribe
Every time you coming to me...
...I pay you money...
..I am feeling disgusted about myself
Means...
...you dont want me to come to you?
If that is the case...
...give me a big amount once for all
After that I will not even come near you
Hari...
- Hm?
You go to Bangalore tomorrow itself...
...give this to our publisher.
You stay there for two days...
...they will arrange money and give you,
bring it
It's a novel written about 6 to 7 years ago
...however much I write...
...I never felt it has reached my
literature level
So, I had kept it without printing
When you did not want to print it...
...but now?
Just do what I say
I have kept a letter in that and
I have written what I want to tell them
Take it along
Brother...
Uma...
Uma...
People who force without consent...
...are not humans at all...
...they are demons
As you wanted cash only,
it took one more day
After the publication
of your novels stopped...
...they said that their business
was not good
They felt very happy with the new book
and giving them all the rights
Leave me... leave me Harsha...
Harsha, leave me
When I know that you will kill me,
why should I spare you?
Either you have to die or
I have to go out. Tell me...
...tell me you are letting me out...
...will you let me out?
Tell me...will you let me out?
I will not trust you
Why should I trust you?
It is like this in such a situation...
...if you come out...
...if you come to know something
which you are not supposed to?
Take this food and eat it happily...
...this will be your last lunch
I will come after three months...
...to remove your mortal remains
Mohana...
Mohana...
Mohana...
Mohana...
There is 22 lakhs
hm...
You were telling you have no money...
...how did you arrange all this?
Ok...
...from today I will not show you my face
This little cash is enough for me
Uma...
Go out
Why? What happened?
I told you to get out
Uma, we both are husband and wife
Uma...
Get out from here
- what happened to you today?
Get out
Uma... Uma...
Uma... Uma...
Uma, open the door Uma
What happened?
Uma has set herself ablaze
Uma... Uma...
Uma...
- Oh my god
Uma... Uma...
Uma...
Brother take this
Uma...
Uma...
Uma...
Uma, look here
I will get you water, wait
Sir, your novel has been printed...
...they have sent you a copy
For so many years of my literary life...
...looks like I myself cheated
With the principles that I followed...
...I could not live this life itself...
...and I am looking for spiritual life?!
What a fool I am
No...
...why should I be feeling sad?
That this book will erase all
my earlier achievements...
...why should I feel sad?
The pride that I am a big writer...
...leaving all these... isn't it asceticism?
This is not possbile by me
Harsha brother...
Harsha brother...
Harsha brother...
...get up
Take this...
...eat a bit
Harsha brother...
Harsha brother...
...Uma is not here...
...she is in our house
But Uma had never accepted Mohana
Is Mohana at home now?
If he is there, would it be
possible for freeing you?
Meaning?
Uma...
...wait I will get water
Where are you going? Let's pour water
By then everything would be burnt
- what will burn? let it go
Hey... leave me
Mohana...
Mohana...
This happened day before yesterday night
Uma...
Uma...
I have told everything to Harsha,
please come out
Where was he all these days?
All this was done for you only
All these years he has been
thinking about you only
Ok, now come out
This life is enough for me
This is my house
No one has a place in my heart
Something unwanted has happened once
But mind is important than anything else
You have only Harsha in your mind...
...that has never changed
It had changed
That's the reason I tried suicide
I myself cheated my love
That is all the momentary madness...
...dont you think love is greater than
desire, lust...?
Just because you felt so for that moment...
...do you think you had love for him?
No body is exception to that desire...
...you never loved Mohana
Forget all that...
...come out now
Ok...
...you tell your decision to the person
who has been dreaming about you for years
...I will see how you can tell him
I have forgotten you...
...you lead your own life...
...I will lead mine
Uma...
...tell me the same looking at me
I forgot you when you went missing
Because I was able to forget you...
...I gave my consent to this marriage
Uma...
Sir, you have not been resuming your
autobiography?
That is the one which made me
postpone my decision...
...that is the one which reminded me
of the pain that I caused to my father
It made me mad over fulfilling
my father's wish and...
...made me take out a life
But how did he take the decision
which is in this article?
Wanting to tell him that Harsha is alive,
that he has not murdered any one...
...wanting to end the ordeal that he was
undergoing for 2/3 years...
...I went to his house
Sir...
Sir...
Noted novelist Shambu Shetty was
spotted in Kaashi like a naked monk
I dont think it would be difficult to look
for my father with the help of this article
Are you bringing him back?
No, no...
...telling him that I am his son, I will
not bring him back to this life again
He would be thinking that he
is responsible for a murder...
...I will tell him about Harsha
It is enough if he comes out of the guilt
Let him live the life which he wants to
How is Harsha and Uma now?
How means?...
...the same way
As is said...
...the farther you are, more the love...
...it is like that
Sister, will you come today atleast?
Harsha is acting in the role of Abhimanyu
(Yakshagana song in the background...)
He is Sudheendra,
son of Shambhu Shetty
Thanks...
...for agreeing to tell me about
what you know about my dad
I was in this town for 3 to 4 years
after my birth...
Later my parents went away from me
I dont even remember their faces
I have seen them only in photo
My mother didn't let me come here
till she was alive..
After her death, many a time
I felt like coming here to see dad
During that time only,
I saw this article in the newspaper
By the way, one more thing...
I have a friend Kumar from this place
in Bangalore...
...knowing that I am coming here,
he has entrusted me a task
I was told that his house in this village
has been vacant for 3 to 4 years
That house & the site has to be sold...
...he told me to enquire about it
Before coming here we went to that
house and came
Come...
The place is a bit dirty...
It's Ok
Who did all this?
As you have come here
to know about your father
...to understand everything about him...
...you have to know about this
I enquired some people about my dad,
and they said many things
What really happened to my dad?...
...is what all I heard true?
Salutations to Lord Vignesh and
Goddess Saraswathi...
Harsha...
(Yakshagana song in the background...)
Uncle....
...let there be many defensive
formations like Chakravyuha...
...I will ensure that Pandavas army
will come victorious
...Abhimanyu is going with enthusiasm
Ignite my enthusiasm with oil & lamp
and send me off to battlefield
I myself will tell about him
He is Mohana...
...had his own jeep...
...the beetle nuts, cashews grown here...
...were reaching the market in his jeep
Greetings sir...
...greetings...
...Vijay has not come?
He has gone for some wedding...
...he has weighed the beetle nut and sent
He will come tomorrow and collect money
Is it you?
Give me some money atleast
I have scheduled an important work today...
...if that work gets completed...
...I will give you more than this.
If I steal money from my brother's
pocket, what is wrong? Isn't it?
(Beetlenut godown)
I have been planning to visit Murudeshwar
for a long time...
...knowing about this...
...the workers in my shop have planned
a two day trip
...if someone comes here and say that
they will send beetle nuts...,
...please say no...
...no one will be here.
They will all leave this evening itself
You are as beautiful as a flower,
who are you, lovely lady?
who are you, lovely lady?
What is your name? ...
Who are your parents?
You are the matchless beauty on this earth
...Who are you lovely lady?
...lovely lady, lovely lady...
How long you have been doing this
without even telling me?
Who is she, where is her house,
I dont know anything...
...for the last two weeks, wherever
the Yakshagaana takes place...
...she was coming every day to watch
She was looking at me only
I am scared of talking to her...
...if she leaves before I remove my makeup,
how can I talk to her?
That's all?
When she has come to watch Yakshagaana...
...she has to look at the artist
and not the singer, right?
Hey...
I was joking...
How long will you take to speak to her?
Uma, how long it has been since I saw you!
I was coming here...
...but for couple of days...
...I was going back after seeing my parents
I could not roam around the town,
from now on I will be here only
That's Ok...
We are tired of telling your father,
at least you could tell him, right?
Mom, at least you could have told me...
...that Shambu Shetty is like that?
Uma...
- I dont know dad...
... tell Shambu Shetty tomorrow itself
that you are not coming to work now on
Do you believe what people in village
talk about him?
What else dad...?
...entire village is talking that he is
half mad
They say that you will also get mad
working with that person the whole day
Is this not enough for me to get scared?
The people in the village never tried to
understand him
Because one person talks,
others also talk...
...like you
To the outside world, he is a big novelist,
...but to the people of this village...
Knowingly or unknowingly, we should
not cause any sort of pain to others...
He was saying that if all of us have this
attitude, our place would be heaven
Within 5 to 6 years of his marriage...
...his wife separated from him with the son
For now he does not have any one, but me
If he saw ants, he would feed them
with sugar...
...and if he saw birds in his garden,
he feeds them with grains...
...else he would sit near the river and
keep watching the fish...
...whatever may happen, your dad was
not missing out these deeds
Take this...
...put it in water...
...to eat it, the fish will come
competing with each other...
...looking at them,
you can ease your boredom
Try it out once...
...you will enjoy it more than fishing
He used to cut nose threads of cows
...untie the ropes of any
animal that is tied up...
...if he comes across fishing net,
he would cut it and throw away
...people came to put up fight...
...hearing him, they thought he is half mad
For a long time, he has not written
even a single novel...
...he wanted to leave the house
and village...
To where?
Not to any specific place...
...he wanted to get relieved from life...
...and wanted to wander without direction
Sir...
- Hm...
...read it
The way you assert on non-violence
in depth in your novels...
...I like it very much
Reporters had written in paper about you
after talking to village people recently...
...that you are half mad...
...and they have said that you behave
and act strangely
We, your fans, know that is all false...
...but we dont know why the people
of your village have said so...
...we are very much interested to
know more about you
...so, you have to write your autobiography
like other novelists...
...that will give perfection
to your literary life
...and that will fulfill our desire too
In most of these letters....
...people have requested for your
autobiography, sir
Hm...
I want to get relieved of everything...
...that being the case...
...should I be writing again?
That too autobiography...
...writing about myself...
Why do you think so sir?
Thousands of people are waiting to
know more about you...
...and you want to go for spirituality
Even if you go there...
...the non-accomplishment
will not give you peace of mind
If I start writing,
it will take two or three years...
I am about to go, leaving everything...
...and I should not create anything new
Oh Satyabhame, come Satyabhama...
Show me your cute face
Come on, Satyabhama...
Show me your cute face
Oh lady, I am suffering from
the loss of your love
Hello kids...
...your sister's ring had fallen near the
theatre and you have not seen?
I wanted to talk to you...
Brother, stop the vehicle,
brother stop, stop...
Oh... beetle nut bag...
Oh!... two more bags...?
Brother, brother...
...two more beetle nut bags have
fallen somewhere
I told you earlier...
...that I will tie the rope...
...you did not listen to me
Brother, they would have fallen closeby...
...we will go and check
- no we cannot go back
Dont know where it has fallen...
...if we dont go fast,
the shop would be closed
Get on to the vehicle
Sister, come we will go there
Come quietly
- no I will not come
You were laughing at me
day before yesterday, right?
I have to talk to you
Tell me where we can meet
Tomorrow I will take all of you
to the beach to play...
...so you will come at least now?
- Hm
When you first played the Yakshagana
character, were you tensed up like now?
No
When you failed in first PUC?
- No
Ok, when you learnt about my jeep accident
during last Deepavali festival?
Hm?... No
Your name?
Uma
- I knew it
I had heard from the children
You dance very well
I like your costume very much
Oh, my costume!?
Same with me...
I like your interest in Yakshagaana
I had told the children that you will give
me the ring and that I will bring it...
...where is that ring?
It is not there now
Ok, I will leave now
Uma..
It is not just your costume...
...I like you also
Drizzles of love is pouring
on my heart incessantly
My heart is flying with wide spread wings
Whenever she smiles, it is the time
for the flowers of love to blossom
Moon and her beauty are competing
to overshadow each other
what an amazing feeling,
I am flying over the skies
My breath and heart beat
are raising and moving hapazardly
Drizzles of love are pouring on my heart
incessantly
Sir...
Sir...
...since two years we have been
yearning to feel the exitement
we are eagerly waiting for your next novel.
Your ever sincere admirer.
Shambu, your dad who had gone
for hunting has come...
That day the pride of winning the war
was seen in father's face...
...in every one's mind...
...sympathy, humanity will be there
sub consciously...
...but they had been defeated in father...
...violence, cruelty are not real victory
Lakshmi... call Shambu for lunch
He said he is not hungry, he is sleeping
You know how people are these days...
...if they see just a smile on the face...
...they will be thinking to cheat
a year's lease amount...
...that being so...
...your son should grow like a tiger
He is still a young boy
In his age I used to insist that
I would go with my dad for hunting
As he grows, he will become like you
You had asked for the ring, right
I need to talk to you at length
Here?
...oh... I had it
Then where else?
If you know how to run the float...
...there is a way
When the heart opens the doors
-two souls are yearning to move ahead...
... and moving through an endless
pathway on a wonderful journey
when love blossoms, a new world is born
a new poetry takes birth with the
touch and feel of love and happiness
Drizzles of love is pouring
on my heart incessantly
I had never lied to my mother like this
For a good cause, there can be
thousand lies
Ok, will your parents agree?
Mom will agree...
...but father may feel little bad
Why?
Dad works in Shambu Shetty's house...
...even if he doesn't show outside,
he will have the feeling within, right?
So my dad would tell often...
...after marriage his daughter should
be getting work done by people...
...and seeing that he should feel happy
His thinking is right...
...but this artiste can't do more than
earning for food and shelter
No, father will agree. I will convince him
Last week dad had come with Shambu Shetty
to watch Yakshagaana
I learnt that both of them liked your act
If the hunting craze grips once, enough...
...come with me today atleast
No dad
You are not respecting your dad's words?
I had kept quiet all these days
because I have the respect
Kept quiet, means what?
Dad, the very route of
your thinking is wrong
It's not just hunting...
...It's wrong to show our arrogance
on any body...
...be it a human being or animal
Dont talk rubbish
because you are educated...
...hunting for food is not a crime
Hunting for food is not a crime, dad...
...hunting to please the tongue
& for fun is not right
Now you are going for that only
Because he did not get any prey...
...or because of anger with me...
...he did not come home for two days
Came to know later that he had gone
to the tiger's den in the forest
On the third day he came with such a
pride, not seen earlier
Because...
...that day his hunt was...
...not for food
To get firewood or to graze cattle...
...people were scared to go to forest...
...the tiger which was the
reason for their fear...
...became a prey for my father's hunting
Female tiger... it even had cubs...
Sad...
...dont know where those cubs go...
...what they eat...
...they wont have the strength to hunt...
...and no mother to feed them
You will never chanage...
..that's why those giving lease money say..
...if father dies, they can breathe easy
with his son
That means you are torturing them
that they can't even breathe
Why all that dad?...
...let them give the lease amount
however much they can...
...why fight over it get
You are preaching me?
Those who dont have wisdom,
have to be preached
My father did not talk to me for two years
He did not even see my face
Look, I am telling you today...
...he is not my son at all,
I have no son at all...
...I will not see his face till I die
His health deteriorated and was bedridden
But even then...
...he did not call me near him
Once... at least once, take the rifle
and go to the forest...
...hunt atleast a wild hen and come...
...your father's anger will come down
Shambu...
Shambu...
For me it was a wonder...
...after two and half years,
dad had called me by my name
Shambu...
...I will not live for long my son...
...can you fulfill my last wish?
Yes dad... tell me what it is
You take the rifle and go to forest now...
...hunt a rabit, or any animal and bring
The meat brought by my son
should be cooked in our house...
...all our labourers...
...should enjoy the lunch praising my son
Son, please fulfill his wish...
...after that you can live the way you want
Be like Buddha, no one will ask you
We had got a rabit,
but Shambu did not shoot at all
Father was bedridden for long time...
But...
...why did he die the same day when I
returned empty handed from hunting?
Dad died because of me only...
...it's not just me who felt so...
My daughter had misunderstood you...
...I gave her one of your novels to read
After reading it, she has become your fan..
...today also I am taking a novel, ok?
What is the progress on your autogiography?
I have written till one stage...
...I can't write any more
Because of me dad suffered...
...and at the end, his death also...
Dad wanted me to be a strong hearted man
Gun in the hand, look for a good catch in
the forest and be a good hunter
I will be...
...if I fulfill his last wish...
...I can get relieved from this life fully
Dad had hunted tiger...
...even I have to hunt
You were performing tiger dance 10
years ago, right...
Yes...
I had liked your costume and dance
very much
Hari was to put up tiger costume and
spend couple of hours in an island
Shambu Shetty was to fill his gun
with dummy bullets...
...search Hari in those couple of hours
and shoot him
Hari was to escape from his sight
and from the aim of the gun
Instead of dodging his boss...
...Hari could have come in the sight of
Shambu Shetty sooner...
...then Shambu Shetty would have
easily hit the target
Then how could it seem to be
real hunting?
Hm... Shetty had found a solution
even for that
Though you are poor...
...you did not take any help
that I could have done to you...
...you were always telling that it would
look like begging...
But this hunting is like a
competition to you
Winning in a competition...
...will never be alms...
...it will be a prize
If Hari escapes from the gun's aim...
...Shambu Shetty had told that he would
give Hari two years' salary...
The animal that runs to
escape the aim of the gun...
...man who runs behind money...
...according to me, both their
speeds are same
The animal dies if hit by the bullet...
...and here if the bullet hits you,
you will not get the money
If there is no money...
...these days...
...though alive, is as good as dead
Then both are same right?
If everything happens as I planned...
...it's like I have fulfilled my dad's wish
This is madness
Dad was not mad, true...
...but what was the need for such
strange thoughts?
Two years' salary...
...that too, in a day
It is enough if I am careful for 2 hours
He does not know hunting...
...escaping is not that difficult
With that money, we can perform
Uma's marriage
I dont understand anything
- you dont need to understand
Hari...
-Sir?
You leave now...
...I will come after ten minutes
Hm
Listen...
...if it does not happen in two hours...
...I will fire in the air...
...you come back here
Hari...
- Hm?
Dad...always with a dissatisfied face...,
...and reserved Appanna Shetty is
what I remembered
But today...
...he looks smiling...
...look...
What do I say about Gulabi sister?...
...I have not seen her speaking loud
Where is Ganesh?
Ganesh brother...
Where is Ganesh brother?
- he is here only
Oh!
Be careful madam...
- hm
Mom, you took bath in the river and came?
Mom...
...Mom...
Dad, see mom has been sitting like this...
...she is not talking
What happened Gulabi?
...too many clothes to wash?
Are you tired?
Thinking that you would have left,
I did not come near the river
Dad, is mother talking now?
Today I met Vikas...
He and Ganesh were taking bath
in the river day before yesterday...
Seeing cloth floating,
mom has got into water...
...meanwhile, Ganesh who had dived
elsewhere, got out of water near mom
When I told him the way mom is
behaving now...
...he said she must be carrying the
same fear now
Gulabi...
...why are you doing this?
Look here...
...look here...
Oh, for such small thing, you get
scared like children?
Gulabi...
You had come to the river, I saw you
Last time you missed getting 2 years'
salary together...
...you would have felt bad then, right?
...you have that chance again
There were 2 bullet marks on the tiger's
skin, shot by dad...
...but, I fired only one bullet
at this tiger
He has done hundreds of hunting...
...atleast I have to complete one, right?
As it is second time, I feel that
I have some experience
Tiger needs more power
If you escape from my gun shot...
...I will give you 4 years' salary together
Hm... I have filled dummy bullets...
...tomorrow morning...
Are you still grieving over Gulabi?
You need to forget.
Time makes you forget everything
I will not force you...
There is still time to write autobiography
We can go at a later date
No...
...we will go for hunting
tomorrow morning itself
You had come to the river, I saw you
(Yakshagana in background)
Since the demise of Gulabi...
...Uma had not come to Yakshagana
As Harsha knew, he was waiting
for her to come on her own
Harsha brother, Uma sister asked
you to come to the usual place
Tiger outfit...?!
...why is it here?!
The bullet has hit the chest...
...oh, end of it...
I had loaded the live bullet
...to go to the same place where
my Gulabi has gone...
You sit here...
...I will just go and return,
please sit down
...to make him keep quiet
was a big challenge to me
He was talking about the sin of murder
and even covering it up
Please pardon me...
...at that time I did not have any thought
other than dying
That day, I did not let him go till he
said that he has pardoned me
You should never think of suicide again
Getting entangled with police, jail would
have affected his future spiritual life...
He underwent greater punishment
than what police or jail would give
There was a line in his novel that a
murderer has no right to live...
...the previous day he was reading
the same novel
I knew very well what was
running in his mind...
...knowing it, had I kept the rifle
in the same status,
...I would have been responsible
for his death, that's it
You should never think of suicide again
I reminded him what he told me
From that day he was dull for a week
A doubt was bothering me...
...whether he would write about Harsha
in his autogiography...
...added to it, the fear of police case
and jail also
The reason for my going for hunting...
...was to console my mind
But...
...to the outside world
it would seem as madness
If people think that I am fully mad...
...it would mean that I am spoling
the dignity of my book myself
Tell me who would listen to
the preachings of a mad man?
So... you...
...you are not writing those in your
autobiography?
Greetings, Shetty sir...
...you got any idea
for your new novel?
People like you get ideas
in such places, right?
Hm...
Wait Shetty sir, I need to talk to you
People in village talk different
things about you...
...but I dont believe any of them...
...I have lot of respect for you
You are a big novelist...
...even I have a story...
...can it be made a novel?
Will you please listen to my
story for ten minutes?
A village...
...two orphans...
...one is a youth of age 25 to 26...
...other one is your age
The person of your age was feeling
strange things now and then...
Suddenly, one day...
...he took the gun and left for hunting
with an accomplice
According to villagers, there is no animal
in the place selected by him
That another youth...
...that orphan...
...was also wandering in the same place
However much he tried, they could
not get any animal for hunting
At last...
...to satisfy his hunting craze...
...they will fire at the youth
wandering there
For the craze of big people...
...an innocent life becomes a victim
In the end...
...they bury the body there itself...
...and return to town as if
nothing has happened...
...and live peacefully
How is the story?
Why Shetty sir, what happened?
How do you know all this?
I know. That's it
The dead person is my friend
I am the only person who knows this
If this secret has to remain within me...
...I need your signature
Not as your fan wanting the
signature on your novel...
...I need your signature on stamp paper
that I am the owner of half your property
Think about it
There is nothing to think...
..I can't sell even an inch of property...
Everything is ancestral property...
...without signature of you and your mother
the nothing could not be sold
You think and decide...
...I will come to your house tomorrow
Can't live thinking of good and bad...
Doesn't the hungry tiger hunt and
eat deer in the forest?...
Good or bad, just or unjust,
nothing counts there
...same here
Hunger here means money...
...anything can be done for money
Sir, why did you come here?
I had asked you to wait there
The dead body is not there...
...tell me what you did?
I will take care of all that, come on
Hari...
...listen to me...
...bring the body and put it in float
Sir, I have already buried it
Harsha was not dead, then?
-Hm...
...he had died...
...in a way it was his death
When he returned home from there,
it was very dark...
...no one had seen him
Harsha...
Harsha...
When you have to be at the Yakshagana,
why are you here?
Harsha...
Harsha...
Mohan took Harsha to a small
hospital known to him
Hospital insisted that it is a police case
Mohan would not give up
They removed the bullet which was
just an inch above the heart
He was in the hospital for two days
To tell you the truth I have not
met Harsha since morning...
...I had to talk to him very urgently
I thought he would have come here
to meet you
Did your father come to know
about you guys?
No
Do you have rifle in your house?
No... Why?
That is...
...asked you to know if your father
has the craze for hunting
Hunting?...
...hunting? these days?...
...that too my dad!?
I dont think he has ever touched the rifle
in his life
Ok, I will leave now
If you meet Harsha, can you ask
him to come to this place tomorrow?
Hm
He understood that I have not done that
Other than me, the only person there
was Shambu Shetty
No one is staying in this house
since two years...
...every one is settled in Bangalore...
..they have no plan of returning for now
They send a fixed amount to my friend
every year to look after the house
I convinced him I will take care of the
house for half the amount and taken the key
Now, the upkeep of this house is mine
You have to stay here for few days...
...may be 15 days or a month
I want to talk to Shambu Shetty
- What is the matter?
He wanted to discuss on beetle nut
transportation & he had asked me to come
I have been doing that...
...is he going to speak himself?
Ok... come in
The income from beetle nut crop is around
1 to 2 lakhs per month...
...he was donating all the income
to orphanage till now...
...he does not have a rupee on hand
But, what did you discuss with him?
He will give us the monthly income from the
beetle nut crop for a year...
...you have to be here for a year
Totally it will be 20 to 25 lakhs...
...we will share and stop it there
I could not bear this for 15 days...
this is not possible...
...think of some thing else
You can stay in a different town
for a year
But your urge to meet Uma... your trying
to meet her...and the people seeing you...
...why all that problem?
Think about it
How did Harsha agree for all this?
Poor guy... was in two minds
But I have tell all this to Uma
No...
...no one should come to know
This sort of information spreads fast
Moreover, Uma's father works in
Shambu Shetty's house, right?
If you are not convinced, listen...
...it will be my responsibility to
unite you and Uma...
After one year you can move around
in village as you wish
There is no problem even if
Shambu Shetty sees you...
..I will take care of that
I feel it's difficult to accept
your these words
You say it is a challenge to live
without causing pain to another life...
Huh...
...it all depends on how we ourselves
groom our lives
May be...
... we will understand it at least
after reading your autobiography
Sir... please come for lunch
Hari...
Tell me sir
From this month onwards...
...you give me the cash proceeds of
the beetle nut sales
But... for the orphanage?
Not for now
No one should get any doubt...
...no one will come to this house...
...even then, we have to be very careful
Hey, hey, hey...
How is Uma now?...
...how does she feel if I am missing
all of a sudden?...
... the time spent so far
seems like ages...
...Tell me correctly
still how many days are left?
Eight months
Eight...
...hm, 240 days
Each day when you get me food...
...I am striking off
each one of these marks
Why all this?
Otherwise I dont understand anything,
I feel like I am lost
Sister...
...I understand Harsha brother
is not in the village!
Lord Krishna...
why doesn't Lord Krishna come?
Tell me dear
why doesn't Lord Krishna come?
its almost a month
since Lord Krishna last came
even the food has turned poison
do you know dear
even the food has turned poison
How long one can hide what is in mind...
...at last Uma told me about Harsha
He has not told even the Yakshagana
group
...I have my own doubt if he will come back
I will go mad if I think that my daughter
is not married after so long
If I go to near the river...
...I get some sort of peace of mind
I feel like staying there only
Greetings Shetty sir
if truth is out you will be punished
or put behind bars
The money that you are giving me now...
...you can continue it for another year...
Harsha...
- Hm?
What can be done with the money we have?
If both of us share,
it may be just 10 to 12 lakhs each
So what?
If you stay here for an year...
...both of us can get double this amount
You stay here for a week,
you will understand
I would have definitely stayed...
...think about it
It is possible Harsha
I am going out of here
day after tomorrow, that's it
Dont be scared that Uma will
go out of your hands...
...I will take care of uniting you both
Dad...
- Hm...
If you dont agree to get married
in the next two months...,
...whatever you think should not happen
will certainly happen
Why did you bring the food?
I would have come with you
Harsha... dont persist like children...
...nothing will happen
if you tolerate for a year
Not possible
Hey...
Only one year, keep quiet...
Harsha..
Hey...
Harsha...
- I can't, dont force me...
Mohana...
Mohana... Mohana...
Mohana closed the room completely ...
To give food...
...he made provision for window
from outside that he only could open
Hey... hey...
Hey Mohana...
Hey...
hey...
Though I knew all this...
Four acres...
...it is besides the road...
...good place to put up cashew factory
Will you come? Let's see and come
Mohana...
..Harsha?...
Shhhh...
Heard you are looking for alliance
for your daughter?
Yes, I want to complete that responsibility
Has Uma agreed for marriage?
I think you know about it...
...she was in love with that Harsha
Here... stop here
By the way...
...I told her in many ways...
...she did not agree at all
I dont know what she thought...
...one day she came and said that she
will marry any boy of my choice
This is the right time...
...before she could change her mind...
...I will marry her off
I am looking for an alliance
Thanks for dropping me till here...
...I will take leave of you
Is that not Uma?!
Whatever the number of years...
...it's my responsibility
to unite both of you
You can trust me in this matter
It's my promise to you
I am sure what I am doing is not wrong
Even if it is wrong...
...uniting you both will be penance to that
I am agreeable...
He wanted to talk to you...
...you can talk whatever you want
Uma...
...there is a reason for me to
take this decision...
That is...
I will not let both of them getting
injustice in this matter
They both should unite
Meaning...
...you will marry off your wife to him?
She is not my wife at all...
...and I will not look at her from
that perspective
She will be in this house
for a year on her own, that's it
Harsha will come one day...
...Mohan had in his mind to tell Uma
that he will unite you both
But, leave alone Uma talking...
...she was not even standing
in front of him
Sir...
...after completing your autobiography...
...do you have to go from here?
...spirituality or something else...
...can't you live that life here itself?
What you say is also right...
...to leave everything and go...
...is not possible for me also
It was not difficult to leave
the house, property...
...but the title of Novelist...
...the memory of father
who died years ago...
...wanting to write my autobiography...
...that has to be read by thousands
of people...
...huh
I could not leave any of these
The great life of spirituality...
...does not seem to befit
a selfish person like me
Leaving everything...
...it is for people like
Buddha and Baahubali
The moment they decided...
...they left everything and went
I am in no way comparable to them
At least for inviting for your brother's
wedding you came home!
But you did not invite us for your wedding
That happened in a hurry
Sister in law is very cute...
...when are you giving the sweet news?
Akku...
...what do you think about our pair -
Uma and me?
Not like that...
...I have promised Harsha that
I will unite both of them...
...even then...
Even then?
I dont know what she felt...
...one day she came and said...
...that she will marry any boy of my choice
May be Uma had decided to forget Harsha
Even otherwise...
Having gone missing for two years...
...if he has gone out of her mind also?
I need a help from you
Means?
Meaning...
...do you still have Harsha in your mind?
Look, you need not hide things from me...
The love affair between you and Harsha...
...and though married, how you are living
with Mohan, everything I know
What is in your mind now?
I did not marry you because I like you
If you proceed without heeding to my words,
...I will not do anything to you...
...but I will die
That day I was prepared to tell all that...
...but there was no need
Brother...
I wanted to die when dad forced me
for the marriage
But without knowing why Harsha cheated me
and went missing, I did not feel like dieing
But one thing is true...
...I cant imagine any one
in place of Harsha
But now I am getting another thought...
... knowing my father's pressure
for my marriage...
...if your brother came to marry me
May be your brother did this to unite
me and Harsha, whenever he returns
Otherwise tell me what other reason
he would have to marry me?
If Harsha returns...
...I think that we can be together again
He will trust me
He trusts your brother also
However much I dont want...
...the trust is growing beyond me
If you let me out now, I will not take
any revenge against you...
...will not even tell the truth to
Shambu Shetty...
...I will take Uma and go somewhere far
I am just asking you...
...if Uma is married by now?
If such a thing has happened...
...I will not spare you, who had
promised me and cheated
The sleeping beast, woke up today
roared wildly, without making a noise
neither could win her heart,
nor could gain her affection
the urge to win both at the same time
the thirst for Money and Beauty
... is pulling up the beast
The sleeping beast, woke up today
roared wildly, without making a noise
the creeper didn't wish to embrace the tree
it's waiting for another one
when one's greed opens up
when colourful lusts rejoice
The sleeping beast, woke up today
roared wildly, without making a noise
when the conspiracy came as
lightining and thunder...
Violence rains heavily
to kill the truth and put an end to
the story
the beast gets ready to kill the innocence
The sleeping beast, woke up today
roared wildly, without making a noise
What did you do to Harsha?
Tell me what you did
I am ready to die...
...why do you shoot from behind?
I will be looking eye to eye...
Load the gun... fire the bullet...
Hm...
But one thing...
...I have to see Uma last time...
...after that you do whatever you want
You have done so many mistakes...
...but you have not done something
that smears blood on your hands...
No Mohana..
...I definitely do not agree for this
Whatever happens, Harsha will not come out
If at all he comes out...
...it will be his dead body
To get a job done...
...people giving money to politicians or
officers, is called bribe
I am giving you money not to do a job
This is also called bribe
Every time you coming to me...
...I pay you money...
..I am feeling disgusted about myself
Means...
...you dont want me to come to you?
If that is the case...
...give me a big amount once for all
After that I will not even come near you
Hari...
- Hm?
You go to Bangalore tomorrow itself...
...give this to our publisher.
You stay there for two days...
...they will arrange money and give you,
bring it
It's a novel written about 6 to 7 years ago
...however much I write...
...I never felt it has reached my
literature level
So, I had kept it without printing
When you did not want to print it...
...but now?
Just do what I say
I have kept a letter in that and
I have written what I want to tell them
Take it along
Brother...
Uma...
Uma...
People who force without consent...
...are not humans at all...
...they are demons
As you wanted cash only,
it took one more day
After the publication
of your novels stopped...
...they said that their business
was not good
They felt very happy with the new book
and giving them all the rights
Leave me... leave me Harsha...
Harsha, leave me
When I know that you will kill me,
why should I spare you?
Either you have to die or
I have to go out. Tell me...
...tell me you are letting me out...
...will you let me out?
Tell me...will you let me out?
I will not trust you
Why should I trust you?
It is like this in such a situation...
...if you come out...
...if you come to know something
which you are not supposed to?
Take this food and eat it happily...
...this will be your last lunch
I will come after three months...
...to remove your mortal remains
Mohana...
Mohana...
Mohana...
Mohana...
There is 22 lakhs
hm...
You were telling you have no money...
...how did you arrange all this?
Ok...
...from today I will not show you my face
This little cash is enough for me
Uma...
Go out
Why? What happened?
I told you to get out
Uma, we both are husband and wife
Uma...
Get out from here
- what happened to you today?
Get out
Uma... Uma...
Uma... Uma...
Uma, open the door Uma
What happened?
Uma has set herself ablaze
Uma... Uma...
Uma...
- Oh my god
Uma... Uma...
Uma...
Brother take this
Uma...
Uma...
Uma...
Uma, look here
I will get you water, wait
Sir, your novel has been printed...
...they have sent you a copy
For so many years of my literary life...
...looks like I myself cheated
With the principles that I followed...
...I could not live this life itself...
...and I am looking for spiritual life?!
What a fool I am
No...
...why should I be feeling sad?
That this book will erase all
my earlier achievements...
...why should I feel sad?
The pride that I am a big writer...
...leaving all these... isn't it asceticism?
This is not possbile by me
Harsha brother...
Harsha brother...
Harsha brother...
...get up
Take this...
...eat a bit
Harsha brother...
Harsha brother...
...Uma is not here...
...she is in our house
But Uma had never accepted Mohana
Is Mohana at home now?
If he is there, would it be
possible for freeing you?
Meaning?
Uma...
...wait I will get water
Where are you going? Let's pour water
By then everything would be burnt
- what will burn? let it go
Hey... leave me
Mohana...
Mohana...
This happened day before yesterday night
Uma...
Uma...
I have told everything to Harsha,
please come out
Where was he all these days?
All this was done for you only
All these years he has been
thinking about you only
Ok, now come out
This life is enough for me
This is my house
No one has a place in my heart
Something unwanted has happened once
But mind is important than anything else
You have only Harsha in your mind...
...that has never changed
It had changed
That's the reason I tried suicide
I myself cheated my love
That is all the momentary madness...
...dont you think love is greater than
desire, lust...?
Just because you felt so for that moment...
...do you think you had love for him?
No body is exception to that desire...
...you never loved Mohana
Forget all that...
...come out now
Ok...
...you tell your decision to the person
who has been dreaming about you for years
...I will see how you can tell him
I have forgotten you...
...you lead your own life...
...I will lead mine
Uma...
...tell me the same looking at me
I forgot you when you went missing
Because I was able to forget you...
...I gave my consent to this marriage
Uma...
Sir, you have not been resuming your
autobiography?
That is the one which made me
postpone my decision...
...that is the one which reminded me
of the pain that I caused to my father
It made me mad over fulfilling
my father's wish and...
...made me take out a life
But how did he take the decision
which is in this article?
Wanting to tell him that Harsha is alive,
that he has not murdered any one...
...wanting to end the ordeal that he was
undergoing for 2/3 years...
...I went to his house
Sir...
Sir...
Noted novelist Shambu Shetty was
spotted in Kaashi like a naked monk
I dont think it would be difficult to look
for my father with the help of this article
Are you bringing him back?
No, no...
...telling him that I am his son, I will
not bring him back to this life again
He would be thinking that he
is responsible for a murder...
...I will tell him about Harsha
It is enough if he comes out of the guilt
Let him live the life which he wants to
How is Harsha and Uma now?
How means?...
...the same way
As is said...
...the farther you are, more the love...
...it is like that
Sister, will you come today atleast?
Harsha is acting in the role of Abhimanyu
(Yakshagana song in the background...)
