"Don't trust this night"



"the magic which comes over"

"Don't trust this night"

"the magic which comes over"

'His name is Abhi... Abhiram.'

'Don't know if
it's a curse or boon'

'he can remember anything
after reading once.'

Hey Xerox!

Show me, idiot.

It's almost time.

I didn't see anything idiot.

You called me Xerox.
That's all the time you get.

'Generally, everyone gets punished
for their mistakes in school.'

But he...
- Latin word.

Sir.

Algebra is a Arabic word, not Latin.

It means reunion of broken parts.

All you do is insult a teacher with
your Wikipedia knowledge.

Are you feeling like Einstein?

Arrogant idiot.

'He is trying from his childhood
to bridge the gap'

'between him and the world.'

Look, rock is drinking milk.

Not God.

It's called capillary action.

They are all insane.

Do you think you are Socrates
to question people's belief?

Can't you filter
your mind and words?

If I filter the truth
then it would be a lie.

Are you punishing me to tell lies?

'His name is Dasarath.'

'After Abhi's mother died,'

'Abhi needed a mother, so,
he married Kamala.'

'After her husband died,'

'she felt her daughter
needed a father,'

'and married Dasarath.'

'You may think his problems are
with his step mother...'

What is this?

'Dasarath is an average
Group one Gazetted officer.'

'So, his hands work in a way'

'where he won't ask for a bribe'

'but you will end up bribing.'

Hey, do you want money?

From now on, for staying
in you house and eating your food,

fee.

Where did you get this money?

Bye teacher. Bye brother.

Bye sir.

Bye Teacher, Bye brother.

From now on I am
corruption free, Mr.Dasarath.

'Like this, he focused
detachment with his father,'

'and the frustration on books'

'and went on to write IAS
to MIT in America.'

Instead of wasting time
writing all types of exams,

if he focuses on one exam,
he will pass for sure, madam.

How can you say he didn't
pass any of these exams?

So, he doesn't have clarity.

This is for him.

These all are for his ego.

He is very clear.

The world around him is confused.

Hey, Whom did you vote?

I voted for you, brother.

Brother, you said you will vote
for us.

I voted for you too, brother.

If you vote for them, I will buy
you a three wheel scooter.

"Are we true to Democracy?"

"All this nice of people"

Sister!

Sister, who are you voting for?

For Vishakha Vani's party.

How much did she give?
- 5000 per vote

Is it? Then CM didn't give
you anything?

CM has given 10,000 per vote.

Then you should vote for him, right?

I have voted 2 times for him before,

Sister started new party,

let's see what will she give
if she wins.

Wow, you are very Intelligent.

Hey, retired IAS office Ramprakesh,

he is well educated.
Don't you want to vote for him?

He didn't even give 100 bucks.
Stupid fellow.

What he will do if he wins?

That's it, if they didn't give
money they will loss,

If they give money not sure
they will won the election.

What do you mean?
- Power of Democracy.

First all those leaders should
stop giving money.

Or else they will take money from
every one and vote as they like.

That's also power of democracy, man.
- Yes.

Ravuri Deepak
- Okay.

Kanchekarla Rajashaker!

You have voted, go away.

Do I have ink mark?
- No.

Did the face match?

Yes.

It means my vote was rigged, right?

Hello, the booth is rigged,
all of you can go home.

Hey, wait!

Don't go. Are you acting smart?

According to election rule,
if your vote is missing,

you have to sign on
tender ballot and leave.

My vote is not missing.

It is clearly rigged.

How can the booth continue?

Hey, who are you to stop?

Are you a Poling office to ask me?

No, right? Leave now.

Who is he?

Call the concerned Poling officer.

Till then polling should not happen.

What is the problem here?
- Oh.

Are you the concerned
Poling officer?

Which party bribed you this time?

This is not a right place to
show your attitude.

Shut up and sign on the
tender ballot and move on.

How can I sign on tender ballot?

My vote is rigged.

Who knows how many have been
rigged? - Abhi!

You have to stop the booth.

Don't make a scene here, let's move.

Hey, I know what I am doing,
leave me. - Hey Abhi,

Hey!

Hey!

Stop it!

Stop it.

Hey!

Hey!

Oh!

Stop it!

Stop. I said stop.

Stop.

What is the problem?

Because his vote was missing,

he wants to stop the Poling.
- It wasn't missed.

It was rigged.
- Hey!

If the vote was rigged then
sign on tender ballot and move on.

You are not supposed to fight.

Oh, when I am saying my
vote is rigged,

this is how you react?

If we talk logically,
not only this booth

you have to stop the total election.

The go and complain

to Election commission. Not here.

I will talk to them as well.

There is a lot of difference between
missing vote and rigged vote.

Even if one vote is rigged,
it can't be called democracy.

If one murder is not a crime,
100 murders are not crime either.

How can we say only one
vote was rigged?

How can we say only this
booth was rigged?

100% rigging free election is the
very foundation of any democracy.

As an in charge, at least you should
disqualify this booth.

He is your son, right?

Yes, sir.

Sign the tender ballot

and leave politely.

Otherwise,
I will file a case as urban Naxals,

and put all of you in jail.

You know what that means, right?

MIT admission and America dreams,

will go down the drain.

Get the hell out of here.

Aren't you ashamed to say this?

As a collector, you are the supreme
authority of the district

You should file a case on those
goons

who beat us up in presence
of the police.

They are the real urban naxals.

How can you protect them
and threaten us?

Let's keep the emotions aside
and talk

As you said,
I am a shameless fellow.

Not just me,

your father,

and all the police around too.

Civil servants like me who are the
foot mats of politicians,

isn't much different from those
goons.

Brother,

everyone in this country,

are living on the calculations of
how much they will earn

if they do engineering,
medicine or MBA.

But, whoever prepares for civil
exams, want to serve the country.

but once they are in the system for
six months, like you asked,

learn how to live shamelessly.

Don't throw stones from outside,

come into it and live like us
then you will know.

This booth belongs to
Vishakha Vani.

It will be risk for me if I stop it,

if you want to stop then
it will be a risk for you.

So don't waste your life,
in this one side war

and take your flight and
move on.

You will be in US in a week,

leave them be.

Escapists don't have a right
to talk about this.

Go!

"My life is with you,
my body filled with thirsts"

"the song of silence
is the answer to my question"

"This damsel is like
sour grapes"

"Even a million words
aren't enough to write about her"

"She is longed by everyone"

"She is the revolutionary freedom"

"She is the colorful dream
of my eyes"

"She is the colorful dream
of my eyes"

"She is the life of my imagination"

"She is a part of my life."

"And the meaning for my breath"

"After braving the darkness
and fighting with Englishmen"

"we saved the damsel in distress
and celebrated"

"We figured that she vanished"

"And she is now captured
in a cage"

"We can't seem to find her"

"Without her there is no
value for humans"

"What fight should we start to
reach her?"

"Which weapon to use to
win her back?"

"From times immemorial
everyone claims they own her"

"and always locked her up."

"They broke her wings and
took away her rights"

"and stamped down on
everyone who questioned."

"It's crushed in
history of humanity"

"And the damsel if nothing
but freedom"

"She flows in our veins"

"And the invisible light
who shows the way"

REPUBLIC

Open the door, stubborn fellow.

It will take 7 hours to reach
Hyderabad even if we start now.

Will you spoil your life
listening to some one?

Listen to me and come down.

What will you do by leaving MIT
and joining IAS?

For you attitude you will suffer,

otherwise you will become mad.

I was happy he was going to America.

Now he is back to his tantrums.
At least you guys tell him.

In an IAS interview only one
will get selected out of three.

He may fail.

Why are you worrying now?

My dear,

Only one will pass out of 500
in mains.

He passed in that with
half knowledge.

Do you think interview will be
difficult for him?

Hey, you will suffer about
this decision.

Come down, son.

Let me try till I suffer,
Mr. Dasarath.

I am 25 now. Let me live my life.

You have been doing the same
since you were five.

You will miss the flight.
Come down.

Dad, will you stop,
if he jumps from the terrace

he won't catch the flight still.
Stay calm.

Let's go.

Look Mr. Dasarath,

You know me better than anyone
in this world.

If you cancelled the ticket in time,
you might have saved one lakh.

Don't include that in my account.

If you are not going to America
then don't step in to the house.

How can you send him out like that!

He grew up as per his wishes
and he will live as per his wish.

Why does he need us?

Hey, will you give your
penthouse for rent?

I will pay 5000 more, because there
will be no taunts from my dad.

Stop it and let's move.
- Take that bag.

Then Mufasa stood on a cliff,

and asked Simba to run away
without turning back.

Why didn't Mufasa run from there?

He has to fight with the enemies
to save Simba.

It's been 23 days
seeing dad, Aunty.

He didn't even call us.

There is no signal where dad is.

that's why he didn't call.

Your dad misses you as much
as you miss him.

See,

If you go to school,

then daddy will come.

Hi Myra, any news?

No,
- What did the police say?

As usual, they say they
are searching.

Oh God.

Any clues from hospital?

Nothing dear, I will let you know
if I find any thing.

Hey Myra!

Yeah?

I don't know if there's link between
this and your brother missing,

on that day.

Nurse told me that a goon
named Guna

consulted Varun.

Is this Democracy?

In last week's election,
with in a hour of opening the booth

a young man's vote was rigged
and he asked this question.

Is this arrogance or stupidity,

because of his one missing vote,
he can't blame the whole system.

without having practical knowledge
on the system

it's better to leave the country.

The youngster argues that

this country doesn't belong
to one person

and whoever questions the system
can't be called an anti-national

and be asked to leave the county.

The father's anguish is

that anger will ruin oneself.

Hey, Where is the news?

News was not printed.

Hey, don't lie, tell me the truth.
- Mom don't beat me

tell me the truth,
did you fight with someone ?

Sister wait,

without anything did principal
call the parents?

Sister,
- What did you do?

Tell me truth, don't lie

Why are you beating him like this?

Ask him what happened?

He didn't hurt his nose
because of cricket,

he fights with someone,

without parents they will not
allow to school

he told and went
- So will you kill him.

enemies will not come from outside

they will be resemble of parents

Because of his coaching,
he become like that

How circled this?

Oh...

I didn't hit Pete,

What a shame,

there is nothing here to feel shame,

there is a different feeling of
love for them and you

love means liking a person,

they will learn about relation
in every stage

how purely we react,
they will also treat same

Hey Arya, say sorry to Aunty

and promise her that
you will not talk to Priya

I am sorry.
- No wait.

Pete say sorry for hitting Arya.

What Mam? why are you saying sorry?

These kind of people
should be skinned alive

and must be made to stand
one one leg the whole day.

otherwise, boy will write the letter
to girl in our school

They will do like that,

if you punish and publicize them.

they don't know the meaning

Mrs. Vishakha Vani son's
Kaikaluru MLA Vishnu Vardhan,

formed government in front
of Governor Ramakanth

With full loyalty...

What are the four defined
pillars of democracy?

People have right to

Race, Religion, cast...

Madam, We already invested 30%,

Economy also affect.

You think about your companies,

We will think about economy.

What we have to do tell me mam?

Do it as same,
what you did with before party.

Do that.

We should protect fundamental rights
like speech, education, profession.

Guna sir is here.

You could have asked him to come

He is not getting down because
if he gets down

he has to have coffee and it will
upset his tummy.

How many people work in the factory?

5000 people, sir.

How much would the monthly salary
cost?

Around three crores.

If you put that three
in this account,

we will supply the workers for you
every month.

We should take people's opinion

on Government's decisions.

Like

Even if you commit a murder,

it should have grandeur,

that's when opposition
will be in defence.

Previous government
got a court order

asking to relieve
Telleru encroachment

till Edo Komaturu as per
farmer's wishes.

'State government has released
a controversial GO,'

'paying no heed to Supreme court's
judgment,'

'that encroachment can
continue till'

'Mudo Pranthur for fishing.'

'While the fishermen celebrated
the GO'

'the farmers are unhappy
and furious about it.'

We have been crying out loud that

our lives are destroyed
because of the encroachments,

how can you give way to
new encroachments?

They seem to think they can
do as they please

as they have
government support.

We are announcing a
District wide Bandh

on 16th of this month as
the farmer victims of this GO.

That's the situation, dude.

A change of government means
old goons are out new goons are in.

You are coming here
on my house warming day,

showing fake documents
and saying this plot is yours.

Do I look like an idiot?

This is mine.
- You are done with written test,

you need so many books for
interview too?

There won't be special syllabus
for interview dude.

That is why I have to go
through all these.

Now do you know why
I don't take these tests?

Hey!
- Oh!

When the house is being built
you didn't realize?

You are getting it built
anyways.

I came to do my house-warming.

Go to hell!

He stopped me too.

'He is not a moron to sell the
same plot to two people.'

Hey, you built a house in my
plot, now leave.

Hey, you anyway's took away
farming from us.

Now, you are trying to take away
the house we built with so much

hard work. You will be destroyed.
- Hey!

Show the original documents.

This is my original document.
- I have the original one too.

Hey ladies, get out.

I will kill you if you
touch the ladies.

Then go get a court order.

You should be going to court.
- Give me the document, brother.

Who are you?

Hey!

The survey number in your document
is different.

It was different
when we purchased.

You should be the one running away?

For illegally entering a property,

even if you are killed it's not
a crime.

Ask him his whereabouts.

What are you doing, old lady?
Who do you want to given oblation?

You old lady...

Hey!

You asked for a court order, right?

The court is here, see.

You look like a nerd.

People like you will be safe

if you are buried in the books.

If you try to poke your nose
in unnecessary businesses,

you will be squashed.

Go and bury yourself in books.

You are the one who
should be out from here.

Right.

I am born with a knife

and I have been hacking anyone
and everyone who came in my way.

Hey, life is sensitive.

You blow and it will be off.

Stop staring.

Stop staring!

Stop staring!

Who are you? Who the hell are you?

We will solve the problem
among ourselves.

Go and show your heroism
to your dad.

Officers like your dad
are the reason

two survey numbers are allotted
to the same plot,

and two plots with same
survey numbers.

Go and show your public welfare
performance there.

Hey, get lost.

Why do you bother?
- Brother.

Please keep the knife away.

We will talk and settle this.

There is nothing to talk about.

You said you will start a Bandh
on Telleru GO.

Take it back.

Or...

I will kill you

and live with your wife
in your home.

Hello,
- Are we going?

Don't know.

She's still on Face time.

Who is she talking to?
- Fiance.

How long will it take?
- Might take two-three hours.

Sometime it takes all day.

Oh no, just ask her.

I can't. Let her finish.

So, what are you doing?

How can you say that, you
insensitive bastard?

You must be a moron to
even suggest that.

I saw a glimpse of my future
with you and it's scary.

'You are blowing this
out of proportion, Myra.'

Stop your bullshit.

'Who is she shouting at?'
- Fiance.

Are they breaking up?

Don't know.

Aunty, are you breaking up with
Nithin uncle?

Who are you talking to?

Arya is asking if we are going to
bird sanctuary.

Priya, please hang up the phone
and do your homework.

Did they break up, dude?

How do I know?

Please take us to the
bird sanctuary, uncle.

Hey, I have an interview in a week

Go and ask your grandpa.

No, he is so boring.

Please take us, uncle.

Please.
- Nonsense.

Hey, this is Myra.

Oh! Hi!

I promised to take the kids to
bird sanctuary.

But, my mood is not great today.

If you don't mind and
if you are free,

can you take them please.

Of course, I am free.

In fact I am bored too,
I will take them.

Thank you, I'll see you.

'Hello! Myra!'

Yeah, you say your mood isn't great,

it would be great
if you can join us too.

I promise, you will not regret it.

Moreover, a fair is going on,
it will be very beautiful.

'Please join us.'

Okay.
- Okay.

Are you ready as soon as you
heard break-up?

How dare you rag me!

"Tamarind seeds on the tender
hands"

"Marks of shy on the beautiful
cheeks"

"Shall we go to see
or shall we go to play?"

"Shall we go to see
or shall we go to play?"

"Shall we join together
and hold our hands?"

"Shall we go to see
or shall we go to play?"

"Sal we join together
and hold our hands?"

"The sails are down with full force"

"Ship is in full swing"

"The sails are down with full force"

Go faster, brother.

Be careful.

We won!

'We won!'

"Hey Priya, slow down.'

'This is soap water.
It will get into your eyes.'

Arya, stop it.
- Arya, look at that.

I lied to the kids that their dad
went for research in Africa.

They believed in that and
living happily.

I am scared that the smile will be
erased from their face.

It's been 30 days that
my brother went missing.

I don't know what happened to him.

I am more scared after knowing that
on the day he went missing,

he met a goon named Guna.

Police is not paying heed.

Varun met collector before the day
he went missing.

On the same day, a goon named Guna

met Varun.

Why are you not considering this
as a kidnap case, sir?

What do you mean?

Me, collection and the goon

joined hands and kidnapped
your brother?

'I wanted to adopt the kids and
take them to America with me,'

'since the kids are Indian citizens'

'they needed the parents signatures'

'or their death certificates.'

Their death certificates.

'It's like I am stuck in a limbo.'

'Without a conclusion to
the case.'

Nothing is more important than them
to me.

I want to adopt them.

But that bastard...

My fiance...

asked me to admit the
kids in an orphanage.

That's why I broke up with him.

Myra, a person who can't see
motherhood in a girl isn't human.

You are their mother
in this situation.

Only those who understand that
should be in your life.

Take it easy.

Hello.
- ' Hanson?'

Yes.
- 'Can you come to office once?'

They found them while fishing
in Telleru.

Hmm.

Did not find
the body in the surroundings.

No bloodstains on the clothes.

Our investigation showed that
you brother was depressed

after his wife's death and became
an alcoholic.

We found out he was suicidal.

Sir, look at those kids once.

Which dad will leave them
and commit suicide?

Are you a psychiatrist?

Do you know how the mind
of depressed people work?

More than solving the crime,

seems like your mind is set
on showing it like a suicide.

If there are no blood stains,
do you consider it as suicide?

Won't you search for the body?

That lake leads to the ocean,

can you tell me where to search?

Don't talk without
practical knowledge.

See, madam.

If you need custody on the kids,

one, your brother should sign or

you need your brother's
death certificate.

Will you keep wasting your time

imagining you will find the body

or will you take the
death certificate, leave to America

and give a good future to your kids.

Show the same talent
in solving the case, sir.

Hey, kick him out.

Yes, kick me out.

What else will the goons in
uniform do?

Hey, shut up.
- Abhi, stop it.

Tell me where to sign, sir.

Myra, are you out of your mind?

They are doing this after knowing
it's a murder.

Don't you understand?

I understand and that is why

I am asking them to close the case.

For the,

Please leave this to me.

Who killed daddy?

No one killed daddy, dear.

He went to meet mom.

Aunty will take better care of you.

Free Telleru!
Let the farmer's live!

Free Telleru!
Let the farmer's live!

Free Telleru!
Let the farmer's live!

End Telleru Mafia!

End Telleru Mafia!

End Telleru Mafia!

End Telleru Mafia!

End Telleru Mafia!

Hey, stop!

Sir, today is Bandh.

Please park the bike
in the school.

We will drop you in our auto.

We are keeping the bike in the
station and going to Delhi.

Will the bike be safe
for three days here?

This Bandh is being conducted
under environmental society, sir.

Nothing will happen to your bike.

Hey, you know him, right?

Take the bike and park it in his
house which is in the street corner.

Come on, sir. Come on.

Move aside.

You bike will be safe.
- Come on, sir.

Get in, sir.

'You should follow supreme court
orders!'

Robbing us in the name of Bandh.

[Slogans]

Free ride for everyone today, sir.

'You should follow supreme court
orders!'

'You should follow supreme court
orders!'

What kind of band is this

where you don't attack police,

burn down buses

and close down schools?

A man sent away Britishers

without doing any
of those, sir.

It just began.

Wait till afternoon. Everything will
burn.

Sir, police and political goons
would do that,

not us.

We are farmers who commit suicide.

Not goons who murder people.

If you are farmer why are you
driving an rickshaw?

Because I couldn't
survive as a farmer.

And didn't have means
to get educated.

Look at the map, sir.

You will understand our story.

In the last three years,

900 farmers around Telleru
committed suicide.

It might just be
another news to you.

But they are not suicides, sir.

Murders!

This story started 40 years ago
for votes.

'Once, Telluru was the biggest
fresh water lake in Asia.'

'It used to help both farmers
and fishermen.'

'But by encroaching Telleru,'

'and with the bait of artificial
fishing ponds'

'one person turned all the fishermen
as her voters'

The she came up with

societies, loans and leases

and turned those very voters
into slaves.

'She built an empire'

Her name is Visakha Vani.

And the name of that business
is Matsyagandha Fisheries.

She bought into politics
with business

and business into politics

and she has the whole state in
her grip today.

But, how are farmers
at loss in this?

The synthetic food given to fish
contaminated the water,

The water level decreased
because of culverts.

'The sea water kicked back'

'and hectares of farms
are destroyed.'

'The lake which was once
filled with oxygen'

'because poisonous today, sir.'

The encroachments keep increasing
without a care for supreme court.

If government is acting like goons,

what will the common man do, sir?

Sir...

I told you it's free ride.

If you respond to our story,

that is payment enough for us.

Sir.

I am sorry I was rude
with you the other day.

I was rude to save you
from that goon.

He has a shoot at sight order on him
for the past six months.

Even police couldn't do anything.

What can you do, sir?

If he is killed one more will
take his place.

You are a farm who should be
weeding such people.

Finish the interview
with flying colours

and have a chilled beer with
Auto Mani, sir.

I will remember you till I die.

All the best, sir.
- Thank you.

All the best.

Why are you anxious every time
you sit in a train?

You will have panic attacks
but still want to go in the train.

Memories define a person.

You should face them,
not run away from them.

Whatever, dude.

Look at that.

Hey, it's Auto Mani.
- Yes.

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

Stop it!

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

No!

'What is the importance of
Eluru in history?'

'Vengi kings have ruled it for
10 decades.'

'Can you name a tourist attraction
of your place?'

'Telleru.'

Everyone feels IAS officers
are corrupt.

What is your opinion about that?

When the foundation itself
is corrupt,

everyone is corrupt, sir.

With all due respect,

is anyone among you not corrupt?

What is your opinion about the
rapist's encounter in Hyderabad?

Brutal.

How?

Justice serves all equally.

Our justice system has been
failing people

with delay, bias and neglect.

That encounter is a temporary
solution for that impertinence

chosen by politics.

If one of those rapists was
son of a minister,

would that encounter have
happened, sir?

Mr. Abhiram, in a village in
your purview

a interfaith couple is being
hung by villagers for marrying.

In another village, an acid attack
is taking place on a girl.

Which village would you chose to go?

Whichever village is closer,
I will go there, sir.

What's the point
of this question, sir?

Which two is important in 22,

and which came first,
chicken or egg,...

When any answer is the
right answer,

how will it be
a personality interview, sir?

Or are you teaching me
there is nothing right

and nothing wrong before entering
the system?

Mr. Abhiram, are you challenging
the integrity of this board?

No, sir. I am challenging the
integrity of the entire system, sir.

How will fit in that system
with this kind of attitude?

Where is the system for
me to fit in, sir?

Politicians, government officers,
courts,

these three horses are pulling
the constitution equally,

and move forward condemning
each other's errors,

is when the cart will be in motion.

But this arrogant political horse,

not only went off track,

but also pulling the other
two horses with it.

Where is the system now, sir?

We filter millions of people

and push all the valuable brains
into the system.

But where do they have the chance
to work with honestly, sir?

If this personality interview,

how will this personality go
missing there, sir?

'The goons who have no right
to wander about in the society.'

'are killing innocent people
in broad day light.'

The systems which are supposed to
control them are supporting them.

I came to this interview while
watching such incidents, sir.

Who gave that power to them, sir?

A voter waiting for their elected
politician to change his life,

A politician controlling bureaucrats
while robbing the economy,

A bureaucrat working for influential
and failing to work for people

A voter stuck in this trap
and gave up on his life

and selling his vote.

It's a vicious circle, sir.

How does it matter if another
IAS officer come and goes?

How does it matter if it's me or
someone else?

We are living in a hallucination
of government for 75 years, sir.

And we still don't know
how the government is.

What's the point of this
interview, sir?

If not a
pseudo intellectual masturbation.

Mr. Abhiram, you are unfit for
this field with this temperament.

Sorry.

Thank you, sir.

I realized that.

I entered this game because of an
ego clash with a civil servant.

But on the way here, I understood,

there are no rules in this game,

and this is not a game but
a hunt.

I am sorry, uncle.

These research reports are compiled
by my brother, uncle.

I found them while vacating.

I definitely feel
it's a political murder.

I wish I could help.

If the system doesn't respond,

what can I do alone, dear?

I will report to WHO
as soon as I get to US.

Will you help me to reopen
this case, uncle?

Hey, uncle is home.

Are you IAS now?

What happened to the interview?

What will happen?

It happened as you wished, uncle

He screwed the interview.

You can go book the US tickets.

I will book business class
this time.

This is Connecticut number.

Let me know when you are there.

I will come and pick you up.

Abhi!

A person like you if more useful
to the country

than being in the system.

Just take it easy, Abhi.

Hope to see you soon.

Bye, aunty.

Bye, uncle.

Bye, Priya.
- Bye, uncle.

You should stay with us when
you come to US.

Bye.

Out. come give the bat.

You said out right?

Yes, I caught it.

You didn't say that.

Hey, he is already a
corruption king.

Give the bat here.

I won't.
- Leave the bat.

Leave me.
- Hey!

Abhiram, resident of Eluru,

completed his Mechanical Engineering
in IIT,

and was a gold medallist.

He was in news during last election

questioning the election system.

Now, in his first attempt,

cracked UPSC and topped it too.

It is understood that
cabinet secretary and

few of the panellists are
impressed with his interview.

'Even though he got through MIT
in US...'

See, any new medicine or vaccine,

will enter the market
only when the sample is success.

If we apply the

same tactic in public administration

is when we will get a
matured democracy.

Since I was a cabinet secretary,

I always argued that

any policy should go through
a brick level experiment

before implementing it country wide.

Mr. Abhi, you are that experiment.

Along with producing collectors
in future, UPSC will also

take over the authority on them
from state government.

Central government has introduced
executive amendment bill for this.

Don't think you will have
unlimited powers

because I am
calling it an experiment.

No politician will have the
authority to transfer you.

This is the only comfort you have.

As a first experiment on this
proposal, IAS topper Abhiram

was designated by UPSC as the
collector of West Godavari district.

'The future of this bill is
dependent'

'on the performance of this
25 year old bachelor.'

"Compromise"

This is another proof of central
government's monarchy.

It is anti-federal and we are
strongly opposing this bill.

It's ridiculous and undemocratic.

All the local parties
in the country,

are condemning and opposing
this bill.

All the democratic countries
in the world,

work in the same model.

This is the real democracy.

With the support of the
current central government,

our target is to achieve that.

And mark my words,

this experiment will be a failure.

"He's the soldier!"

"Soldier"

"Soldier"

"He's an experiment."

"Live to lead"

"He is the soldier."

"Soldier"

Collector! Down down!

Collector! Down down!

Collector! Down down!

Collector! Down down!

"Soldier"

Collector! Down down!

Good morning Sir,

Collector! Down down!

Collector! Down down!

Collector! Down down!

they come to know you are coming
so they started today morning

Collector down down
Collector down down

I didn't ask about that rowdies

which were send by politicians,

I am asking about these "Deeksha"

Collector down down

It's been 2 weeks Sir,

Day by day we are taking person
to person to hospital

but another person taking his place

Without demands fulfil they won't
take off that tent

Give me a order Sir,
I will clean them

If we do like that, there is no
difference between us and Britisher

Collector down down

We are here to solve the people's
problem

not to do settlements.

Not here,

look at there

"He is the solider"

"Soldier"

"Soldier"

Please be seated

till now,
District Collector life was in

Politician hands

from today onwards it will be in
UPSC board hands.

It means, indirectly all your

life is based in my hands.

As you all know,

Collector is the supreme authority
of the District

and I am that supreme authority

there is the only one difference
in old way and new way

earlier the settlement was done
in Politician house secretly

from today onwards
it will happen here legally,

Publicly,

Peace full.

It's not a movie,
to change the system in fraction

I am not a hero in
"Bharathiyudu" movie,

not even hero in
"Aparichitudu" movie

By choice

no one can change the person
who are corrupted

we have to punish them
according to the law.

There are lots of old-fashioned
officers working in the system.

From them I want to give a chance

that is the real change.

whoever taking this as
take it easy, that

every new candidate will
talk like this

Please request for the transfer,

otherwise, it will spoil your
career its my guaranty

SP Sir.
- Sir

Come to my room with the
case file of Guna

14 murder, 4 rapes,

total 18 convention.

Shoot at sight order given
6 months ago,

How do you explain this?
- Sir.

We are searching for him with
special team since 6 months

How long you are working as SI?

Three Months Sir.

What is shoot at sight order means?

The criminal who has to be in jail,

he is out, and doing harm
for the people,

Court has given order that

to shoot him on the sight.

He is roaming outside freely

Do you have any disease
like selective vision

On the day of your coming,
without my permission

you called my staff and insulting
in front of them

Lets talk directly.

If we touch the Guna it means

we directly declaring the war
with Vishakha Vani.

If we kill Guna, the person will
killed Guna will also die.

Everyone knows this, in this city.

who will save us from
that transfer Sir?

Including this job, we have

responsibility of our family too.

SP Sir,

Please talk to IG and

request him for your transfer
to other district,

and fulfil your responsibility
of your family.

Disbursed.

Sir,

I know where Guna live.

If you support me,

I will dare to do it Sir.

whoever kill the Guna
will die right,

Let's go

and say hi to death.

Sudhakar,

Department people called me

and they said,
two dogs are coming to kill you

then what about rest of the dog
till now whoever come,

didn't you tell them
what happened to them?

What they said for that?
- What we have to say brother?

Let it be happen whatever you want.

2 person and 2 guns,

Hey, go.

Come on.

Please leave me, sir.
I beg you.

Please leave me, sir.

You said one thing correctly.

No, sir.

Life is delicate.

It will go away in a second.

Yours as well as mine.

[Indistinct chatter]

Sir.

Myra.

Myra.

Two children should be with her.

Go and check.
- Yes, sir.

Myra.

Myra, Myra.

Myra.

Myra.

Doctor!

Doctor!

It is found that
the girl who has been

rescued from detention is an NRI.

As per news, today at 3 a.m.,

encounter operation had
been completed in the area.

This kidnap had taken place

to the victim while
returning to America again.

This case which had
been going on for years is

the main cause for 18 other cases.

The very day collector
Abhiram had come...

Collector Abhiram has
given 48 hours of time

for all the goons of
the district to be silent.

She had multiple fractures

and needed about
14 stitches on the head,

but she is lucky.
She will survive.

But she was brutally
tortured and repeatedly raped.

How is she, sir?

She will survive.

Any information about the children?

They have killed them, sir.

Why they killed,
where they have thrown the bodies,

even they don't know, sir.

These murderers, let's
kill them here, sir, encounter...

Sudhakar.

today there is justice in our anger.

We will kill.

Tomorrow in another case,
people like the SP will

unnecessarily kill the innocent

in the name of encounter
to free the real culprits.

Can you stop it?

Can you stop it?

Every time when some
injustice happens,

if people, police, and media
take law in their hand themselves,

it will not be called as system.

The difference between killing an
accused like Guna with court order

and killing him without taking him
to the court is called the system.

Present the accused in the
court before the public forget them,

make sure they get punished.

Whatever more we do, there is
no difference between them and us.

CM has arrived. Over.

Madam, madam, madam

[Indistinct news reporter voice]

Madam please listen...

Good day, madam.
Good day, sir.

Good day.
- Will she survive?

There is no threat to life.

At present, she is unconscious.

Who is handling the case?

Collector sir is
directly handling it.

Let the concerned
person do the duty.

Okay, sir.

Gopal.
- Yes, sir.

You stay here and do the needful.

Okay, madam.

Instead of solving the problem,
he has increased it.

Idiotic fellow.

With this encounter,
collector Abhiram and you...

Madam, everyone is saying
that Guna is your person,

what's your say on this?

At first, I pray God that
the victim gets well soon.

I request the law to severely
punish all the accused

who were caught
during this incident.

Opposition party had campaigned

that our party had created
and encouraged Guna.

What they could
not do in six months,

we did it in six
weeks and showed them.

From this, you yourself
decide who encouraged Guna.

Sir, you severely opposed the
appointment of collector Abhiram,

but outside everyone
think that it was he

who took charge and
executed this operation.

What are your thoughts on this?
- Who said that?

This was a secret
operation planned the day

our government came to existence.

And collector Abhiram
is just a passing

point in our chain of command.

That's it.

Our party's goal is to put an
end to all the goons in the state.

We started it with this encounter.

For the betterment of our state, we
will do such strategic state plans.

Madam, madam,
what is the girl's condition, madam?

Nothing regarding the girl is being
said, why? - Sir, you tell, sir.

Did you see that girl?

How is the girl's condition?

That girl's condition
is very hopeless.

We cannot do anything other than
praying that she should recover.

You have seen how
the results will be

if political leaders give
freedom to our department.

We hope that we get the same
type of support in the future.

Related to the encounter...

You take care.

Sir, sir.

Just one minute, sir.

CM sir has asked me to
personally handle this case, sir.

Did he ask me not to come?
- No, nothing like that, sir.

He said the concerned
person should do his work, sir.

As a collector, I have
the authority to directly handle

any work with anyone
in the district.

Of course, sir.
You are the absolute authority.

Who are they, sir?

If crime happens to the US
citizens in any part of the world,

it becomes our duty to
help the consular assistants.

Our duty is to support them,
any concerns?

Not at all, sir.

No problem, sir.
No problem.

Is this the medicine going in there?
- Yes ma'am.

Can I check?

This is a wrong dosage.

Who gave the prescription?

Chief doctor gave, ma'am.

What's happening here?

Is the treatment going
on to kill the patient?

Mind your language, sir.
Actually, who are they all?

Consulate officials.

You have given 30% xylitol
in hypotonic saline.

Don't you know the lungs will
freeze and the patient will die?

It's you who wrote it, right?

Sir, a mistake would
have happened, sir.

Take it away, take it.

Please get it yourself.

Taking a human's
life is not a mistake.

Come outside.

Sir.

I can understand
what is happening here.

You go and take care
of the other patients.

Who are you?
What are you doing here?

I am Vishaka Vani madam's PA.

She asked me to be here and
take care of the girl's progress.

Progress?

Let's see.

She is conscious now.

We will shift here to Hyderabad
and then pick from there.

We will move to the US.
- No, no, no, no.

First we have to file the FIR.

Impossible.
- What?

What?
She doesn't want to meet any police.

How is it possible, madam?
FIR has to be filed,

it's procedure, protocol.
- Sir,

I know her, please let me talk.

Excuse me, sir.
You can't go inside.

I am her close friend,
please let me in.

No. Sorry, sir. You can't go in.

Myra, Myra, Myra.
- You can't go inside.

Myra, Myra.
- You're not allowed.

I'm sorry, sir.

She is calling.
Let me go inside.

What the hell, man?

Hello. - Madam, situation seems
to have gone out of hand.

He has gone inside.

They took me too to kill
the way they killed others.

I am a girl, right?

They decided how to kill me.

To control me,

in front of my eyes,

the children were...

Today's breaking
news is the rape victim,

Myra Hansen who is getting
treatment in Mamta Hospital is said

to be recovering as
informed by reporters.

Please watch our channel to
get health updates on Myra Hansen.

Myra,

tell me just one thing.

Whom did you meet last
with those documents?

Immediately after I reach US,
I will report to WH.

Will you help me to reopen
the case alone from here, uncle?

Sir, it is said that this is a rape.
How did that rape happen?

How many people raped, sir?
- Can it be considered gang rape?

Is this really a rape?

Do you think this is
Worser than Nirbhaya rape?

Please let us know, sir.

Tell, sir.

Yes.

This is the worst
rape in the country.

This is not just a rape
that happened to a girl

but that has been happening daily

to some girl or the
other for 75 years.

A rape that has been happening
to the nature, seasons and life.

Victim is not one in this rape.

You people who are
holding mic and camera,

every single person
who is listening and seeing.

It's not four who should
be punished for this rape,

there's a whole empire in this.

'This is my wife Radhika.'

'She had been suffering
from an incurable'

'nervous disorder
for the past six months.'

'Today her heart stopped.'

'The heart which was beating'

'for me and my children.'

'I am working as a doctor and
professor in Asram Medical College.'

'While studying in college,
Radhika and I loved and got married.'

'From the time I
started practising,'

'I had been handling some
neurological disorder cases'

'which no one could understand.'

'Every month, the patients'
count kept increasing.'

'3000 cases have already
been registered in the district.'

'Only when my wife became
sick with this disease,'

'I got a clue about it.'

'All the patients who got
this disease have a common habit,'

'eating fish daily.'

'That fish grows in Thelleru'

'which is distributed through
Matsyagandha Fisheries.'

'In Thelleru, 80% fish tanks are
at lease in Matsyagandha Fisheries.'

'The waste from the meat
shops and dead animals are mixed'

'to a chemical and used
as food for the fishes.'

'This is done for the fishes to
grow quickly and earn more profit.'

'For the past 30 years, the fishes
are grown this way in this pond.'

'Because of this,
whole of Thelleru is'

'filled with a bacteria
called sea lice.'

'This bacteria is inside every single
fish that is growing in the pond.'

'To a great extent,
this bacteria dies before we eat.'

'But in some rare cases,
it is still alive.'

'It directly attacks the brain.'

'This bacteria is in the blood of
every patient who has this disease.'

'When the quantity of birds reduced,
no one cared as it were just birds.'

'How can a pond which could not keep
a bird alive allow humans to live?'

'The reason for the surrounding
lakhs of acres of land to be spoilt'

'and farmers' suicidal deaths
are caused due to this pollution.'

'Only for namesake
it is good water Sarasu,'

'but this water is useless
for drinking and using.'

'When such things influence
the surrounding lakhs of lives,'

'to neglect and sit
is equivalent to genocide.'

He left US citizenship
at the age of 18,

studied in India and settled here.

With these reports to take action,

he met our officials to
get this sorted out who claim

to shoulder all the
responsibilities of India,

this half-Indian Varun Hansen.

After meeting our DC,
he went missing.

After meeting the same DC,

his sister Myra Hansen
who is now being treated,

in the hospital,
she also went missing.

Sir, I did my duty.

I informed the higher officials.

You are not a postman, Mr. Dasarath!

You are not a postman.

Is this the response
you give as a DC to as person?

Sir, the public health officer
has given a counter report

that it is baseless
and a wrong research, sir.

Sir, it was DC sir who
asked me to fake the report.

I was also asked to do
it by my higher officials, sir.

As of now, you both are suspended
and are under investigation.

Sir, sir. Please tell me sir.

In Niche world Darwin,
Bapu and Haldankar?

Wait inside, sir.

In Niche world Darwin,
Bapu and Haldankar?

One is a gift given
by Bapu sir to my dad.

The other one is a gift
given to me by my father.

Other than that, in my world,
it doesn't have more value.

Please.

Tell me.

How did you give birth
to so many deaths being a mother?

Have you come here
to talk philosophy

or talk about some problem?

I have come to ask
you to give back life

to Thelleru which you had taken.

Taken?

But once it is dead,
it won't come back again, right?

If you open your hand and leave it,
Thelleru will come back to life.

That's the power of nature.

250000 people live in Thelleru,

then what about their lives?

This proposal is regarding
how they will survive.

It didn't happen during
opposition government.

Do you think it will happen now?

Then, is it wrong on my part
to take action as an executive?

No other go, madam.

As per constitution, you seem
to have forgotten that the salaried

need to work as per the
order of the legislature.

As per the constitution,
if something wrong happens,

the salaried need not follow
as per the legislative assembly.

If you follow,
people like you will become Hitler.

Hitler or Gandhi,
they became leaders

only because of the public,
collector.

That public is behind me.

When they get to know
about death and life,

they would choose life,
madam, not you.

Listen,
I will tell you a bird story.

It is the story of a freedom
fighter who first started

a co-op society in the state.

He taught people that democracy
lies with the local governance.

To make their lives better,

he held a communist flag
in the shoulder and left.

After listening to everything,
just before the elections,

for the sake of money
from the opponents,

defeated him in such a way
that he didn't even get his deposit,

the same people.

Opposing the emergency, he lost
his son-in-law in a police fight.

He spent 13 months in jail and died
without anyone in a pathetic way.

That person's name is
Hanumantha Rao.

His daughter's name is Vishaka Vani.

She was pregnant when she
performed her father's last rites.

That day, she didn't perform
just her father's last rites,

but also the values
which her father taught.

Keeping that fire in her heart,

she owned the trick
which defeated her father

and she lives today keeping
that winning streak until this day.

You mean the trick is to
keep cheating the people and living?

A cartoonist who got angry on a

Tamil editor for not printing
his useless cartoons sent

the South Indians from Mumbai
and became a political leader.

Later he sent the North
Indians out for some years

and became a powerful person.

That fascist family is the
ruling party now in that state.

Every person who in the name
of caste separates the country

and creates issues is a leader.

Every party who in
the name of subsidy makes

a person lazy is a ruling party.

You tend to get cheated

where ignorance plays a vital role,
collector.

Those idiots won't understand even

if you tell them what
is death and what is life.

Your eyes are seeing
the spoilt pond.

My eyes are seeing the spoilt sea.

As Darwin said,
man evolved from monkey.

In any democracy,
at any given point of time,

80% of the voters are still monkeys.

But there is only one power
for the intelligent minority

and the foolish monkeys...

Vote.

What will come out of such
intelligence except anarchy?

Whoever achieves in
making the monkey play,

only they will be on the pyramid

and that's how any
democracy functions, my son.

For the issue that you brought here,
my equation is simple.

The number of voters who
are affected by the pond is one lakh

and benefited by the
same is two and a half lakhs.

That calculation is my decision
and it is purely democratic.

You have missed a simple
logic in the whole theory, madam.

A human has evolved from
this end to that end, correct.

But for evolution,
there is a power, conscience.

Conscience.

Today I am questioning in
front of you because of conscience.

I will give you one
week time to change from

this version to the next version.

By this time, if you get
light within, we will walk together.

If not, you will fall from above
and be badly injured, like Hitler.

And by the way, my philosophy
is also what you studied,

what Darwin niche taught.

but in it you are seeing the
magnitude and I am seeing the change.

Thanks for your time, madam.

To wipe the provincial
party one by one,

one of the plans of the central
government is the new collector.

He is sacrificing you
people in this process.

He wants to involve me in this scam

and you will be the
ultimate sufferers.

From this moment, Matsyagandha
Fisheries is not mine, it's yours.

Hey.

In this company,
every single Matsyagandha worker

is an equal shareholder.

Long live Vishaka Vani,
Long live Vishaka Vani.

Long live Vishaka Vani,
Long live Vishaka Vani.

I came here knowing that
you will react in this way

because this pond is yours

but is this pond still yours?

This pond was yours
till 40 years back,

but the time you leased
the pond which was full of life,

that very day it had
gone out of your hand.

Okay, what did you
achieve by doing this?

Four people are sharing
that one should be getting

and you yourselves are interfering
with your development.

You are sharing the same
inefficiency of your life

to your children by
making them lie down here.

If we put an end to this,
you will not be the end sufferers

but those who are earning
10 times more than you people,

these society presidents

and those who are earning 1000
times more than you people

and sitting in a throne on
your future who is that dictator.

Your fear,
lack of knowledge, innocence

and faith are the
four legs of that throne.

To protect her throne
and to cover her crimes,

she has made you people
shareholders too in that company

but the truth is that
you will never get your share.

You know what is happening in this
pond, you know that it is wrong,

but you are scared to
come out and have a look at it.

Why are you scared?

For immigration or for your safety?

100 years back,
to protect this fish empire,

your fathers and
grandfathers had come

from Orissa as immigrants
who were the heroes back then.

They were not scared of immigration
and change like you people.

Get rid of that fear at least once,
this throne will break

and this pond will
be freed from dirt.

This pond will give life to you and
give life to the farmers as well.

You have the skill to catch fishes
by yourself and even your children

can move forward in life
as per their skills in the future.

I haven't come only for this pond

but also to free you and your
children's future from this hell.

It's your choice to
either object or give way,

but I will not move one step

or break any one of these
without your permission.

Hey collector,
how much did you take from him?

He wants to grab this pond
from us and give it to them.

You selfish people,
how dare you try to do that?

Come, let's see.

Hey, you all come,
let's finish them off.

Stop, stop.

Charge, hit them.

Spot jump.

Battalion, take position.
Fire.

No! Don't fire. Hold it.

No.

What happened?

'In this accident, a total
of 17 died and 22 were hurt.'

'On the basis of safety precautions,
Thelleru village''

'and the neighbouring areas
have been imposed with 144 section.'

'UPSC board has suspended
collector Abhiram.'

'Due to this incident,
central government's antithesis '

'has completely changed
now to separate '

'executive branch from
legislative control.'

'Many leaders from the political
party criticized collector'

'Abhiram for being an irresponsible
person during this mishap'

'and creating ruckus
in their lives.'

'I had predicted earlier
that collector Abhiram would fail.'

'He is a failed experiment.'

'Central government has
arranged for a tribunal in the'

'supreme court regarding
this incident.'

'Collector Abhiram's father is'

'also involved in covering
up the Thelleru scam.'

'We should wait
and see what judgment'

'will be given by
this tribunal court.'

Hello.

Are you angry, son?

But I personally pity you.

When I see you, I feel
like my dead father has returned.

Where is the result
that you are searching for

from the people, tell me?

Nobody in the country is thinking
about health, education, agriculture,

environment, and economy, son.

Their thoughts are only about caste,
religion and day-to-day needs.

Neither do they have
the intent to change

nor do we intend to change them.

Do you know why I didn't
react when you killed Guna?

It's because there are
thousands of Guna in that region.

Since it is a first failure,

it will be very painful.

You will slowly get used to it.

Every failure brings
us closer to reality

and blends us with the system.

Hello sister.

Abhi, father hasn't come home,
I am scared.

Some farmers from Kaikalur came,
he went along with them.

Don't be worried, I am going.

Abhi, what's happening?

Myra, lock the door.
Don't allow anyone.

Abhi.

Don't spare him. Come on.

Because of you,
our lives are at stake.

You spoiled our lives.

[Indistinct crowd voice]

Stop the tractor.

Get down.

I won't do the mistake
of taking a bribe.

I won't ask for bribe
for doing the right thing.

There's a chance they might come
up with a stay order at any time.

Let's speed up.

Make sure all the explosives
are properly accounted.

None of the buildings around
should be affected, okay?

Zero tolerance.
- There won't be any problem, sir.

I will check everything.
- Okay.

Dad, will all the buildings crash

at the same time like
world trade Center?

Yes.

How will it crash at the same time?

Because we explode the
dynamites at the same time.

How many dynamites have you placed?

What is going on?

We had sent you a notice,

but you kept on constructing.

We have to bring it down, sir.

Stop it.

Do you know with
whom you are speaking,

Rahul Sengupta?

Chief minister's brother-in-law.

The biggest builder in the city.

I know, sir.

Then, what is the problem?

What do you want?

I just want the building
to come down, sir.

But it is a completed building

But constructed illegally
in a public park.

Listen.

I will give you 10
flats in that building.

I won't do the mistake
of taking a bribe.

I won't ask for bribe
for doing the right thing.

You happy?

Are you happy?

Ready sir.

On count three.

No.

All set.

One.
- Don't do so.

Two.
- Dasarath.

Three.

Careful.

What is it?

Transfer again?

What else will it be, then?

[Regional language]

[Regional language]

[Regional language]

Checkmate.

No, I will not move this.

I didn't see, dad.

Hey, if you do a mistake in a game,
you should correct and not repeat it.

It teaches character.

If you want to win,
play another game.

Come on.

Popcorn, popcorn.

Popcorn, popcorn.

[Regional language]

[Regional language]

Let us shift to a compartment
that has a curtain, dear.

[Regional language]

Excuse me.
- Yes.

Can you lower your voice
and take the drink near the door?

[Regional language]

No!

Dad, dad.

Leave my father.

Dear.

This is a gift from Rahul Sengupta.

The system expels those
who do not mingle with the system.

He did not want to kill you.

He only wanted to break you.

Now you are broke
and you will stay broke.

I am sorry, Mr. Dasarath.

On that day, you lost your
daughter and wife in the train.

In the same train,

I lost my father as well
along with my mother and sister.

I came to this game with a hope that
I will get my father, Mr. Dasarath.

I came to remind you who you are.

I lost.

My intention was never
to disrespect you, Mr. Dasarath.

I am sorry.

I am extremely sorry.

You think I lost because
a goon killed my wife and daughter?

Such goons are all
around the world, son.

But the difference is if the system
would encourage or punish them.

I did not lose in that train.

It was the moment those culprits
got out of jail in two months

innocent people though
there were 60 people as witnesses

for killing two in that courtroom.

The moment when Rahul Sengupta

looked into my eyes
when the judgment was given.

From that day,

I digested the truth
of that smile every day

and killed my true self and lived.

This is a procession for
the dead bodies of that day, son.

This garland is not put by you.

This dead body should be buried
and not live with such a life, dear.

I knew that you would
be broken into pieces

like me if you come this way,

but today I cannot see
the reality in your face, dear.

Only the one who runs away
from the battle is a loser.

The one who fights
till the end is a hero.

My son hasn't lost
and should not lose.

Tell me how this dead body
can be of help for him to win.

Dad, will you again become
the light to show me the way, dad?

13 years ago, I came out from West
Bengal Board and wrote APPSC exam.

I got posted as public
health officer in Eluru.

During the first inspection,

I got to know that a bacteria named
sea lice is present in Tillite.

I immediately consulted
with responsible officers

and in order to take action,

I reported to the then
collector late Mr. Raj Sinha.

As it was worth thousand crores of
business run by minister Vishaka Vani

and life giving opportunity
for two and a half lakh voters,

my proposal was rejected.

I was threatened to
fake the inspection reports,

if not to be transferred elsewhere.

Even if I don't do that work,

they will get it done
through somebody else,

so I myself did it.

I was immediately promoted
as district development officer.

Four years back, when the
farmers came to tell me that

the lands were getting
destroyed due to the pond,

I thought of taking
action at least then.

I met and submitted
another report directly to

the Minister of Fisheries,
Mrs. Vishaka Vani ma'am.

Because the fisheries vote
was more than that of the farmers

and Tillite issue would
create unnecessary problems,

reports were asked to be faked.

After Varun Hansen's reports,

I met previous collector
Vijay Kumar sir

and requested him to take action.

Because Vishaka Vani
would win the elections

and it was not advisable
to oppose her in any way,

reports were asked to be faked.

Even if I don't do that work,

they will get it done
through somebody else,

so I myself did it.

Witness is excused.

Public Health officer,
Mr. Ranganath.

I plead not guilty, your honour.

I faked the inspection reports under

the instructions of deputy
collector Dasarath sir.

Even if I don't do that work,

they will get it done
through somebody else,

so I myself did it.

Now forest officer,
Mr. Janardhan Rao.

Pleading not guilty, your honour.

I simply followed DC sir's
instructions, that's all.

Even if I don't do that work,

they will get it done
through somebody else,

so I myself did it.

Witness is excused.

Ex-collector, Mr. Vijaya Kumar.

Pleading not guilty, your honour.

I didn't get to see any
of Dasarath sir's reports.

I have never instructed my
subordinates to fake the reports.

Vishaka Vani madam never
interfered in this issue.

Mrs. Vishaka Vani.

I plead not guilty, your honour.

Neither have I influenced
any of these officers

nor are there witnesses
for having done so.

Father and son are playing
the blame game against me

to cover up their faults
that they have done together.

For the past 40 years,
I have been living for the people

and fighting for the people.

Instead of wasting my precious time
on this collector sir's allegations,

I request the court
to severely punish DC sir

who has been plotting
the whole scam.

The court is recessed for lunch.

I wonder if we will get justice.

She till yesterday was complaining
against the central government

but now she has joined with them.

How come the alliances keep
changing here as per their needs?

Because all the parties'
agenda is the same.

It seems like it is Delhi party's
game to bring her into their party.

Experimental collector
is just bullshit.

You are just a pawn
in that chess board.

Yes, sir.
- Did you see the news?

Yeah, I just read it, sir.

So you know which way to go?

Of course yes, sir.
- Good.

Who is it, sir?

Home minister.

What will happen now?

What will happen?

The pawns who confessed
will go to jail.

Players will go out
and play another game.

Mr. Abhiram,
you are closing the argument.

Your honour,
this case is not about a person,

a class or about the spoilt Tillite.

We are this pond and
this pond is our system.

The violence that
happened this month on 9th

is not one that happened
in the heat of the argument.

The land surveys,
inspection reports,

forgery of health records,

threatening the
officers who point out,

killing those who oppose,

creating differences between
the farmers and the fishermen,

these situations are all
created by Mrs. Vishaka Vani.

All the details with evidences
are kept in front of you,

but this investigation is not a
war between that truth and this lie,

it's a war between
truth and justice.

The person who was responsible
for so many deaths,

in order to escape from this crime

crime has joined hands
with the central government.

Celebration there
and here murder of truth.

Your honour,

democracy means right to vote and
right to talk, that's what we think,

but because of the wrong system that
is going out of hand day by day,

we are forced to live in a feudal
way rather than a democratic one.

Not just the public,

civil servants and the court
too live as a pawn to those rulers.

A President in America was brought
down for secretly listening to

the Opposition party
election strategy.

But here in Uttar Pradesh,

an MLA attended the assembly
for two years who had repeatedly

beaten a girl and murdered
his family members.

That's the difference between
democracy and feudalism.

If police become the system
and start doing the encounters,

the whole nation is appreciating,
your honour.

Isn't it an insult
to the judicial system?

Politicians like Vishaka Vani
have become the law,

justice and judgment so much
so they free their favourite accused

and punish the innocent
whom they hate.

If judicial system doesn't open its
eyes even now, will it ever open?

If the legislator
whom the public trust,

the civil servant who enforces

the legislation and the
judiciary which gives justice,

only if these three
horses work together,

it becomes democracy,
it becomes government.

This executive system is questioning

the legislative horse which
has gone astray in the wrong path.

Only if the judiciary system takes
a stand and gets hold of the horses,

this is a real Republic.

From the judgment that
you are going to give,

you should search for an answer
for just one question, your honour.

From the day Thelleru
had been infected,

133 society members have
been missing like Varun Hansen.

Hundreds of farmers
committed suicide.

Thousands of consumers
have got a disease.

Who are responsible
for their deaths?

Who are those people who
are behind Thelleru becoming poison?

How much more life is to be given
to Thelleru which still has life?

Who are those responsible
for the deaths of the people?

Last but not the least,

who has been benefited for
the last 40 years by this scam?

A judgment which cannot save nature,

life and society and
a judgment which cannot punish

the real culprit who had taken
so many lives is not a judgment.

It is equivalent to the
Thelleru which is poisoned.

I rest my case, your honour.

Sir, sir.

We completely believe the evidences

that collector Abhiram has submitted
about Varun Hansen's thelleru.

Order, order, order.

Order, order, order.

Under supreme court's order, not
just fifth contour till 9th contour,

if needed by taking RBI's help too,

Order, order.

Order, order.

Order, order.
Sit, sit.

As a public representative,
Mrs. Vishaka Vani who has benefited

maximum by this Thelleru issue
is considered the primary culprit.

Hey Narasimham.
- Order, order.

What judgment is this?

Also deputy collector Dasarath,
ex-collector Vijay Kumar,

forest officer Janardhan Rao,
health officer Ranganathan,

under section 299, 300...
- This is nonsense.

...304 A, 171 E
- Who made you sit there?

will be given life sentence.

Order, order.

I, hereby, direct the police to take
the conviction to their custody.

I will change your judgment
in a week, you see.

The court is adjourned.

How dare you?

What nonsense is this?

Narasimham!

Leave, leave me.

Narasimham, what are you doing?

Have you gone mad?

I am sorry, dad.

This is not my arrest, dear.

Leave me.

My freedom.

Leave me.

Leave me alone!

You think you won?

Do you think you won?

I will change this judgment in the
supreme court in a week and show.

One week's time,
I will change the verdict.

I will change the verdict in a week.

Leave me.
I will kill you if you hold me.

Madam, madam.

Hold her.

Move, move.

Hold her.
- Take her, come.

Constables, take her, come.
- Please move, move.

You are not my enemy
and I am not your enemy.

The system which had taken away my
father and your father is the enemy.

This victory is over that system.

This is also yours.

Wishing you well, madam.

System won't change so easily, son.

This system will never change, son.

After some days...

Stop.

Go there.

Hey!

Who are you?

What are you doing here?

Hey, who are you?

Stop.

Why are you building
those logs in the lake?

Tell me, who sent you?

Who sent you here?

Hey, stop.

Who built those logs in the lake?

Tell me,
who built those logs in the lake?

Didn't you all ask

that to be removed quoting
farmer's issues and other issues?

Now you yourself are
building logs on that lake.

Hello, MLA here.

So, so what?

Tell, why are you scared?

We built it. What's wrong in it?

Your caste people earned in crores
using the lake for the past 40 years.

Even we will do it for 40 years
and then talk about this,

what do you say?

My caste?

My caste?

What is my caste?

Tell me, what is my caste?
Tell me.

Come on tell me. What is my cast?

Tell me. Come on.
- Leave...

Leave, leave, leave.

Aren't you ashamed?

What are you talking and with whom?

Are you eating food
for your stomach or grass?

Sir, you go sir,
I will look into it.

Tomorrow morning I will
make sure it is removed, sir.

You go, sir.

You go.

"You are the one, I want."

"What mischievous
talks you do always."

"Closing the eyes, talking to me."

"Closing the eyes, talking to me."

"Dreams are important
to live in one's life."

"Don't trust anyone except me."

"I am the only one
you can hold on to."

Uncle.

Forgive me, sir.

We will search every inch
in Thelleru and in the sea

and find out collector
Abhiram's body.

"He is not in darkness."

"He will not come in the morning."

"In your dream"

in my dream."

"In our dreams, he lives like always
and I cherish every moment of it."

"He is an evidence for truth."

"He is the truth of the nation."

"This is what really happens."

"Accept the truth whatever it is."

"We are the light, we are
the darkness, it is up to us."

"He is missing, he is lost."

"The places where I go,
I feel the emptiness of him."

"How much ever I try,
I am unable to forget."

"This is what can
be expected utmost."

"He is not in darkness."

"He will not come in the morning."

"For a human, for justice."

"Talking about blood relationship."

"He has gone in thin air, leaving
all the relationships behind."

"This is the tragic
end of a good thought."

"Respecting nature,
animals, humans, society."

"Thinking each is
related to one another."

"All his life fighting
for each of these,"

"at last went missing."

"He is not in darkness."

"He will not come in the morning."
