Bhagavanth Kesari (2023) Movie Script

MUMBAI

[indistinct chatters]

- Come let's go out and play.

- Come on.

[door creaks]

[all gasps]

Hey, you are the Chief Justice of

Mumbai High Court. What's wrong?

Knowing that I was

giving judgment in a case,

related to a minister

from the ruling party,

they tried to put a lot of

pressure on me to change the judgment.

When I did not agree,

they obstructed any possible help

even from the government side.

Before applying for additional

security from Central Government...

[bullet shots]

[gasps]

[guns firing]

[groans in pain]

[guns firing]

Are you going to die holding

on to your honesty even after sixty years?

Happily... But not my family.

I have to shift them somewhere safe.

- [kid crying]

- Okay.

I know a safe place in Pune.

I will shift all of you there.

Okay.

But before that, let me tell you a

story that will fill you with courage.

- Will you listen?

- Mmm.

The name of the brave warrior is...

The son of the forest,

Nelakonda Bhagavanth Kesari!

BHAGAVANTH KESARI

A FEW YEARS AGO

[siren wailing]

[mobile rings]

Daddy, phone...

Give it to me

- Hello!

- Sir, I'm sentry Narayana speaking.

Twenty prisoners from the

court have come here on remand.

Do you want me to take the

entry or wait until you arrive?

Right now, I'm moving into the quarters.

It will take some time.

Finish the formalities.

By the way,

which block will they be put up?

As per our rules,

we send the new inmates to block A, sir.

But...

But?

Sir, I have got orders from the

government to send them to block B.

All right, send them!

[phone rings]

- Hello...

- Do we have any VVIP prisoner in Block B?

We have, sir. Businessman Ratan Shukla.

- [panting]

- Move! Move!

Sir, he had financially

supported the last government

and that's why this government has

filed some false cases against him

and got him arrested.

They are here to kill him. Stop them!

Come on, hurry up!

[siren wailing]

[indistinct voices]

- Hey!

- Stop!

[mobile rings]

[siren wailing]

- Hello!

- Sir, you can relax.

They have entered into C block.

- So?

- Bhagavanth Kesari is in C block, sir!

Son, Bucket...

- Hey!

- Come on, guys.

- [groans]

- Hey, Tinku...

There is a small settlement.

Grandpa worked hard to gather

water but you kicked the bucket...

If you please excuse us,

we'll fetch water and leave.

Hey!

You don't know what's happening here?

Japatri is here. Go away.

You are asking him to

leave but he is whistling!

- Should I kill him, boss?

- Kill him.

You should listen to your seniors.

If you don't, you'll be in trouble!

Son, it'll be like an

exercise. Let me fetch the water.

Hey Oldie! If you start pumping,

you won't be able to fill

one bucket all over the night.

Shut up, idiot.

Sir should fill the water in the bucket.

Only after that should we kill him.

Till then, shut up!

Grandpa, you carry on.

How long will it take to fill the bucket?

Let's go, Grandpa.

- So soon?

- [together]: Ah? Damn!

Your grandma loved the sunrise.

Let's sit for a while.

Hey! Hey! Lover boy!

You are remembering grandma,

early in the morning, is it?

Are you feeling

butterflies in your stomach?

Yes, son.

Shall I make Grandma happy?

Shall I sing a beautiful song for her?

Sing, son.

[singing random Telugu song]

How did I sing?

Good, sir. Not bad.

How does it matter?

Did I sing for your happiness?

If we sing with fun,

the song will also be fun.

I don't care what people say about it.

Japatri, boss. Why are you

passing the time, when asked to kill him?

Shh... Shh! Sir is here!

He'll be gone in five minutes.

Bucket, bucket.

What is this, boss? When asked

you to kill you are telling about,

sir and bucket, bucket and sir?

To hell with the bucket.

- Damn it!

- Hey, don't...

He is lucky that he is

not carrying a steel bucket.

The bucket is a better option, boss...

His hand looks like a 4-inch thick rod.

[bashing]

[knife swishes]

Is he punching or

thumping him with a crowbar?

Do you know why we have

brains in between our ears?

Because when the ear starts wringing, then

the matter goes straight into the brain.

- [chuckles]

- [chuckles nervously]

Brother, now I understand that you didn't

come to fetch water but to save him.

You made a fool of us and

thrashed the pulp out of us.

Hello sir.

Sir, sir, sir! Thank you, sir.

You risked your life

despite not knowing me.

My dad had taught me that,

you have to feed the one who is hungry...

and always offer your life

to the one who is in danger.

Thank God.

Narayana, I want to see his file.

- Hi!

- Huh? Hey!

How did you thrash so many

people? Are you a superman?

No. I am just a normal man but the

things that I do are often super.

Then you are a superman

Hey, sir...

You saved my life.

Please, just five hundred crores...

- Mr. Shukla!

- Okay, sir.

You are craving for your son.

But your health should support that,

isn't it? Take the medicines on time.

I'll take leave, madam.

- Until her son comes from jail...

- You have visited him for many times.

Did he come?

I don't think she can meet her son.

I'm holding onto my dear

life to see my son for one last time.

I will not die until I see him.

I beg you, sir.

Please send us Bhagavanth

with us for just this one time.

Let her meet her son

and pass away in peace.

- Narayana...

- Sir?

we are going to the forest

tomorrow with Bhagavanth.

"Oh trees, leaves, and breeze..."

"Look my child is

cheerful again after so long."

"The Village roads have

rolled out flower carpets."

"The branches of the trees

are sprinkling fragrant water."

"I would often think

about your well-being"

"and be worried."

"I would be worried for your safety"

"and be anxious thinking

about where you'd sleep at night."

"I was informed that..."

"you are coming to see me."

"I want to see you to my heart's content,"

"that's the only wish

I have in this life."

"Sleep, my dear!

My breath is your cradle..."

"Yes, it's true...

These hands should carry you."

"Sleep, my dear!

My breath is your cradle..."

"Yes, it's true...

These hands should carry you."

My mom passed away in peace because,

she could meet her son

in her dying moments.

I am forever indebted to you.

[music mutes voices]

Take it.

Superman, I heard that your mother died.

Don't be sad.

From now on, I am your mother.

Okay?

She looks stunning in

the army dress, sir...

Prior to marriage,

my wife got selected in the Air Force.

But she sacrificed her dreams and

her future to share her life with me.

She gave birth to Vijji and left us all.

I still feel guilty that I stopped

my wife from achieving her dreams,

of getting into the Army.

I might redeem myself if at least

I can send my daughter to the Army,

Bhagavanth.

But, any ways,

there's nothing in our hands.

Who knows if she would listen

to me or not after growing up!

Girls shouldn't be like deer.

They should fierce as tigers.

If she doesn't listen to

you, I'll convince her.

Make your daughters fierce!

Dear, I did this.

Wow!

Wherever you are,

you should be fearless, just like this.

Only then will the world bow down to you.

Will you be like that?

Yes.

It's been a week,

why hasn't sir come to the office?

I already told you,

he's gone out on some work.

A policeman who

appropriates truth from others,

cannot lie with a straight face, sir.

Since the jailer went against

the rule by taking you out of jail,

he has been suspended.

He asked me not to inform you

as this news might upset you.

While leaving, he added your

name to the list of prisoners,

who shall be released on August 15th.

[prisoners applauding]

WARANGAL CITY

Anyway I will come

today and get the order.

I'll leave in an hour, sir.

[vehicle arrives]

Vijji, look who came to see you.

Hey!

[chuckles]

Superman...

- What happened, dear? Are you ill?

- Hmm.

Come dear.

Bhagavanth, what's going on?

Sir, if I had known that

you'd have to lose your job,

I would have never visited my mother.

Bhagavanth, I understand the

pain that a mother goes through,

when she is away from her child.

So, Bhagavanth! Are you going

back to the village or staying here?

I'm not going to the village, sir.

I have a few old settlements

that I need to settle here.

Vijji, come I'll drop you off at Narayan

uncle's home and I'll leave for Hyderabad.

No, I'll stay with superman.

What, superman? Will you stay

with me until Dad comes back?

Please carry on, sir.

I'll be here with Vijji until you return.

Thank you sir.

- Hey! Hey!

- [all]: Oh no!

[tires screeching]

Warangal Jail Superintendent,

Srikanth met with a road accident.

The accident occurred while he was

returning from Hyderabad to Warangal,

with posting order.

He was taken to

hospital with serious condition...

- [wheezing in shock]

- Vijji dear... Vijji dear...

[life support machine beeping]

- Dear, please eat something.

- [crying]

I want my Dad.

Vijji dear, get up.

You need to go to school.

No, I won't. I want my Dad.

- [wheezing]

- Vijji dear...

Look there...

[squirrel squeaking]

Look there...

[squirrel squeaks]

"Hey, squirrel... You better be quiet."

"As my little darling runs

more gracefully than you."

"Hey, bird... Shut up, now..."

"As my little girl

sings sweeter than you."

"Scurry my little one,

scurry and rejoice in celebration."

"But once you are tired of

all your sprints and hops."

"Come and rest on my

chest, oh my dear moon!"

"Sleep, my dear!

My breath is your cradle..."

"Yes, it's true...

These hands should carry you."

"Sleep, my dear!

My breath is your cradle..."

"Yes, it's true...

These hands should carry you."

- What is your name?

- Vijji.

Which class are you studying in?

Fifth.

- Which school?

- Rao's International School...

[metal clanks]

[wheezing in shock]

She went into a state of shock due to

the sudden death news of her father.

This is one kind of

psychological problem...

Such people get panic attacks

whenever something unexpected happens.

But you should raise

her as a strong person.

Otherwise, as a girl, she will face

a lot of problems with this phobia.

Superman, what should I call you?

You can call me whatever you want, dear.

Call me a friend.

Call me Chicha if you want.

If you are in trouble or if you are

hurt just think about this father!

I'll come in front of you within minutes.

Look, that is a rainbow.

- That yellow colour is mom.

- Mom?

- Green colour is Daddy.

- Daddy!

"I'll be your mother,

and like her, I'll bathe you."

"I'll be your father,

and like him, I'll sing lullaby."

"I'll be granny and just

like her, I'll feed you."

"I'll even be a comb to fix your hair."

"I'll turn into cotton so that

you can weave a saree for yourself."

"I'll even turn into a

silkworm to get you silk garments."

"If something happens..."

"God forbid if something happens to you."

"I'll do anything to safeguard you."

"Sleep, my dear!

My breath is your cradle..."

"Yes, it's true...

These hands should carry you."

"Sleep, my dear!

My breath is your cradle..."

"Yes, it's true...

These hands should carry you."

Additional.

They have taken a bundle of

additional sheets just in 15 minutes.

They both will definitely top the college.

Hello, they took a bundle of additional

sheets but gave back only two sheets.

There's a new movie releasing today, sir.

We took all those additional

sheets so that we could tear them up...

and throw them in the theatre.

- [both]: Huh?

- [students gasps in shock]

- This is enough!

- Yeah.

Suresh...

Call Karthik...

- Hey!

- Huh?

Will you come to the movie?

Hey, stop... Stop.

Sir, triple riding.

Should I penalize them,

or do you want to showcase your heroism?

I don't want to display

my heroism in front of boys.

Tell me if you find a hot girl...

Ouch!

Oh God!

[both gasps]

- Sorry sir, sorry sir.

- Sorry sir.

- Rakesh, now I'll show my heroism.

- Sir...

Get them to the police station.

Sir! Sir, to the

station? We will pay fine.

- Hey...

- [wheezing]

Why are you getting anxious?

Come to the station,

I'll penalize you there.

- Rakesh, get them to the station.

- Sir?

Call your Aunt.

She'll kill me if I call her Aunty.

We must address her as Kaachi.

[mobile rings]

DR. KATHYAYANI, PSYCHIATRIST

Hello!

This is how Daggad Diwakar's station is!

Let's show some good bodies to the girls.

[grunts]

Watch now...

Hey,

where are you taking the liquor bottle?

I thought the girls

would feel uncomfortable.

Did they say that they

have a problem with that?

Keep it there. Get lost, bloody, old hag!

- Sir...

- Bloody idiot!

-What, Rakesh,

-Sir?

I heard that all of you were

secretly planning to thrash me.

No, sir. You are like God to us.

Then why don't you all

give aarti to me everyday?

Kaachi!

Being a psychologist,

I can say that you are a psycho.

You are taking off your shirt

while there are girls in your station.

Disgusting!

I know the IG.

He comes to me for therapy.

Should I call him?

Should I call the human rights?

Oh, here comes the Wonder Woman.

- [gasps]

- Get up.

Give me your hand.

- [gasps]

- Sir!

These are not nails, these are blades.

How can you attack a cop

with such deadly weapons?

Shall I file a case against you?

Do you want to see my heroism?

My psychology isn't

enough for this psycho.

He needs to be given a

shock treatment by someone.

[vehicle arrives]

Chicha is coming.

[horses neighing]

Who is he, Vaishu?

He is Vijji's Uncle, Kaachi.

Salt and pepper, looks interesting.

Can't you call me when you are in trouble?

- Chicha...

- I was informed by a third person!

Dear, it is wrong to miss

an exam to attend a movie.

But this is very common in this age.

What happened, sir?

If they made a mistake,

penalise them for what they have done.

Instead of that, is it right to

get the girls to the police station?

This is how Daggad Diwakar functions.

What can you do?

Rakesh, I've heard that the

barking dogs never bite. Is it right?

But I think he is not a dog but a lion,

sir.

- Shut up! Bloody rascal.

- Sir...

Why are you praising him?

Did he marry your sister?

Hey, go and get me a hot cup of tea.

Here's the tea, sir.

If you will please write us the

challan. I'll take the kids and leave.

You brought a cold one.

Go and get me another hot cup of tea.

I have a party at my

farmhouse tonight, care to join me?

Not like this.

You have to come wearing short dresses,

only then can we see those thunder thighs.

I asked you for a hot

tea. Go, get another one.

The skin should peel

off, it should be that hot.

Hey! Hey!

[groans in pain]

What a gutsy man!

This is hot enough! Oh God!

No, sir. The skin should peel

off, it should be that hot.

It didn't peel off yet.

No, thank you.

I don't want your

challan, neither your kids.

But first, douse this fire.

One shouldn't boast off his own heroism.

Do not act smart in front of me,

I'll peel off your skin

and hang it on the string.

Wear your uniform at least

while you are in the station,

or else you would become a boiler someday

and people will warm their tea on you.

I too like policemen, sir.

That's why it was a touch-and-go.

Come, dear.

What was that?

Heroism.

Why did nobody come to douse the fire?

You asked for an aarti, didn't you?

We thought he is giving it to you.

Famous industrialist Rahul Sanghvi's,

birthday celebrations are

being held in Hyderabad.

[in English]: Many prominent politicians

are attending the party from Delhi...

[in Hindi]: Big industrialists and

politicians are present in this party.

[crackers bursting]

Get inside.

Sir, you also.

[siren wailing]

Hello, Mr. CM. How are you?

Hi, deputy CM...

You can greet each other later.

First come with me, come on.

I am coming from Delhi to attend

Rahul Sanghvi's birthday party.

Why have you arranged

an emergency meeting at this time?

I am after all the CM.

They are just ministers...

and you are the party

president who helms national affairs.

I understood that you are taunting me.

Come to the matter.

You said that Rahul

Sanghvi is giving funds in crores,

and so approve whatever he asks for...

and allow to load his pharmaceutical

company's medicines at our shipyard,

with our government

approval for foreign export.

There were drugs in that

consignment it seems.

Yes, sir.

We have received an intermediate report.

-Intelligence

-Yes, yes, Intelligence report.

The Customs officer in the port

found out about our drug scam...

and gave the complete

details about it to a reporter.

The reporter left for

Hyderabad and handed over the file...

to Rahul Sanghvi's

business rival Sushant Pandey.

Based on the information

provided by Sushant Pandey,

the Customs officers have

arrived at Kolkata port,

to seize the ship carrying drugs.

I shall take your leave, Mr. CM.

Okay.

He is looking for an

opportunity to destroy this party.

Bloody, deputy!

Sir, please do something.

You have to do something on this, sir.

Do we need her in such

an important meeting?

Yes, she definitely needs to be present.

She is the only person in the

party who can speak English well.

Yes, sir. Actually... English pulling...

She should be present, sir.

On one hand we have to

deal with people who leaked it...

and on the other hand,

we have the customs department.

And we have less than one hour.

Mr. President, I quit.

Jogi sir, where is my gift?

We don't have much time.

We have to stop the customs department...

and also we need to stop

the one who leaked the news.

Do something, Sanghvi.

Mr. Jogi, where is my gift?

Sanghvi, you are not understanding

the gravity of the situation.

I said, where is my gift!

Sorry, you all enjoy,

enjoy. Everyone, enjoy.

Tell me what you want, Sanghvi.

Vicky.

Project-V India's prestigious project.

Project-V is a major contract

which connects all the ports,

from Gujarat to

Kolkata as a common project.

Whoever acquires this Project-V,

he can dictate the whole country.

I want that.

That's my gift.

I want to be number one in this country.

And I want to name this

country as Rahul Bharath Sanghvi.

There's a lot of

competition for Project-V.

It is impossible to grant that to you.

Okay Mr. Jogi...

[mimicking clock ticking]

Clock is ticking.

Let us all sink together.

Okay. You can have the Project-V.

But first, get us out of this problem.

[music mutes voices]

[tires screeching]

[pistol fires]

[groans in pain]

Hold on, sir,

Munna from the ship is on the line.

Munna, your father's future

and his dreams are in your hands.

If you get caught, I will become zero.

Customs officials

surrounded the ship, Dad.

Can you evade them?

Sorry dad, they have

surrounded me. I'm scared, dad?

Can you stop them?

I can't dad... I can't.

Love you, son.

Safe journey!

Do it.

Sir, he is your son!

Do what I say...

Sir, you are killing your own son!

Do what I say.

Happy birthday to...

You got your own son killed, Sanghvi. Why?

Mr. Jogi,

if you want something invaluable,

you have to sacrifice

something invaluable.

That is the business, Mr. Jogi.

At this point, Project-V is

more valuable to me than my son.

You can be the PM of

this country if you want.

Why do you want to be

the number one, Sanghvi?

Mr. Jogi, what I want is,

to be in a position

where I can't be defeated.

I want to be on the top of the world,

and the world should be under my feet.

Do you know The Law of nature,

Mr. Jogi? Survival of the fittest!

The strongest one always wins.

Even God cannot find someone who

is so strong that he can beat me.

"Moriya!"

"Ganapathi Bappa Moriya!"

"Hail, Lord Ganesha!"

Dear, the vibe is missing.

Ask them to play louder.

Hey... Keep your Teen Maar aside.

My Chicha is here, it should be rocking.

Start the Soumaar! (blast the speakers!)

"Oh, the auspicious one...

Lord Ganesha has arrived."

"Praise the Lord. Ganapati Bappa Moriya!"

"Oh, the auspicious one...

The son of Goddess Parvati and Shiva."

"Praise the Lord and dance jubilantly."

"Oh, Lord...

Your elephant-like form is so amusing."

"Oh my Lord... You are my companion."

"I prostrate to you,

we are your devotees."

"The God with Trunk,

please save us from all troubles."

"Oh, Ganesha... Accept our hospitality."

"We shall worship you and

perform pooja all nine days for you."

"Hey... Keep your Teen Maar aside."

"My Chicha is here..."

"It should be rocking! Start the Soumaar!"

"Hey... Keep your Teen Maar aside."

"My Chicha is here..."

"It should be rocking! Start the Soumaar!"

"Oh, dear Lord...

Show me the way to righteousness."

"Oh, dear Lord...

Come and clear all obstacles in my path."

"The rider of mouse..."

"Son of Goddess Gauri..."

"God with an elephant-face..."

"We prostrate to you!"

"The one is the start and the end,

the auspicious one..."

"The protector of the world"

"You hold the reputation of

travelling to all the universes."

"The leader of Gods.

The follower of the right path."

"The Lord of

elephants. The God of all Gods."

"Listen to our plea and bless us!"

"Hey... Keep your Teen Maar aside."

"My Chicha is here..."

"It should be rocking!

Start the Soumaar!"

"Hey... Keep your Teen Maar aside."

"My Chicha is here..."

"It should be rocking! Start the Soumaar!"

[birds chirping]

[pants]

[honks]

Oh no!

Walk.

- Enough, I will get into the bike.

- Hey! Hey!

Still only one kilometre.

- Come on!

- Chicha, I can't.

[grunts]

[cuckoo bird cooing]

Come on!

Vijji, dear.

Three rounds and 100 push ups.

You should be drenched in sweat.

I'll go and get milk for you.

Ballu, keep a count.

- Done.

- I'll do 150, Chicha.

You want sweat, right? I'll get it.

- Come on.

- One... two...

Sixty...

Seventy...

Hundred.

Vijji, dear!

You finished 100 push ups so quickly?

Yes, Chicha. Look at the sweat.

Isn't it wrong to lie to me?

But you would've done some push ups.

This is sweat,

it's not as if you sprinkled water.

I have been asking you since three years,

will you sign these at least this year?

I have been signing it

since three years...

I'll sign it yet again. Just for you!

What did she sign this time around?

What did she sign the last time?

Hero Honda splendor,

my Chicha is thunder.

Do you know, what she wrote this time?

Jubilee Hills, Banjara Hills, if my

Chicha hits, you'll get medical bills.

I have brought brilliant matches

of men of 40+ years, ma'am.

Please select any of them, ma'am.

You are already 35 years old now.

I am just 32 years old.

It's not that easy to get married.

Will you stop it?

I recently saw a strong man

with a salt-and-pepper look.

I'll give you good news within a few days.

- He must be here somewhere...

- You should check the stock before,

unloading, otherwise the

management will reprimand us.

Hi.

- Who are you?

- Don't you remember?

Yesterday, in the station,

with Vaishnavi friend of Vijji!

Yeah, we met yesterday.

How are you, aunty?

Hello! Who is aunty?

You look like more than 30 years old.

You have grey hair too.

Are you a teenager?

Don't you have grey hair too?

[mobile rings]

I am Kathyayani. Call me Kaachi.

Hello!

Thank you.

You wanted your son to score 40 percent.

But after my psychological

treatment, he scored 90 percent.

You can send extra fees, thanks.

That is Kathyayani!

- Kaachi, you are!

- Psychologist.

Sit, Kaachi.

Hello Brother Bhagavanth!

Early morning you are having fun

with the lady! Come on! Come on!

Hey, shut up.

I'm talking to her.

Kaachi! Vijji is not signing

on the Army application.

Can you make her sign it

by giving her some treatment?

It's my job. Of course, I'll treat her.

I'll pay whatever your fee is.

I don't want fees.

But I won't do it for free either.

I'll take what I want from you.

Send Vijji to my house

daily evening at 6 o'clock.

You will come with her, right?

Vijji, you go in. I'll come

and start the counselling.

Okay.

Yes, come in.

It's okay, Kaachi.

You carry on with the job.

I'll wait outside.

- Have some tea or coffee!

- I don't have tea or coffee at this time.

Would you like brandy or whisky then?

We have girls around.

No, thank you, granny.

- We'll sit on the terrace.

- I said no.

Do not irritate me

or else I'll pluck your teeth set out.

He is quite intimidating.

I won't sign them, Kaachi.

But I will fully cooperate with you.

Vaishu told me

everything. You focus on Chicha.

If his attention gets diverted then

I might get rid of this Army pressure.

First priority is my marriage

while public service can wait.

Mr. Bhagavanth!

Did she sign so soon?

I have played some therapy videos

for her. She is watching them.

Come, let's walk to the market

and get some vegetables.

Why should I walk for

your grocery shopping?

Mr. Bhagavanth,

if I have to convince Vijji,

along with her I have

to study you as well.

Now will you walk?

[random Telugu song playing over radio]

Kathyayani!

From childhood Vijji is like that...

Hey, Kathyayani!

You got married and you didn't inform me.

Wow! Your husband is so handsome.

Blushing? Our Kathyayani.

Hello, aunty! We are not husband and wife.

She is just studying me.

Aunty! Hello, Aunty!

She is addressing a stranger as

your husband and you are blushing?

- Did I?

- Hmm.

Then, I won't.

There! You blushed again.

No, this doesn't seem right.

You walk on that end

and I'll walk on this end.

Buy two kilos of bitter gourd as well.

She is calling him and he is

saying that he'll jump across the wall.

I think she is his neighbour's wife.

They are flirting with

each other in the market.

Husband and wife is better.

Kaachi, walk beside me.

Idiots, let them say whatever they want.

By the way, Kaachi! Will Vijji still

be watching those therapy videos?

For sure.

Why don't you dye your beard?

You will look much younger.

I don't change colour, Kaachi.

I am what I am. Unfiltered.

That's why if you connect with Bhagavanth,

you will become his die-hard fan!

Excuse us for a minute,

I need to speak to him.

[music mutes voices]

- Who is she?

- An acquaintance.

Who?

Just an acquaintance.

Okay. I'm cancelling all the further

sessions. Forget about the sign.

What? Her husband is a drunkard,

I thrashed him and sent him to work.

That's why she has come here to thank me.

She calls me brother. She's like a sister.

Oh, Brother?

Kaachi, I understood what

you are thinking about me.

- What is that?

- I won't tell.

Please, tell me.

You got upset when she

wanted to talk to me in private.

Now you are happy when

I said she's like my sister.

I understood, Kaachi.

Is it? Please tell me.

I won't, Kaachi.

How will I understand if you

won't tell? Please tell me.

- You!

- Yeah, me?

- Me...

- You...

I won't, Kaachi.

God! Please tell me. Please tell

me, what I am thinking about you.

You heard her calling me brother,

so, you too wish to call me brother.

Call, Kaachi. Call me as

brother. I don't mind.

Granny.

It's just cola. I have quit drinking.

Vijji, I have played a

different set of therapy videos.

- Go and watch them.

- Okay.

I have to study Mr. Bhagavanth.

- Are we going to market yet again?

- No. I have fixed a different place today.

Have it...

Thank you.

Bro! Having fun yet

again. Come on! Come on!

Shut up.

Kaachi, Vijji is watching videos!

No doubt.

Mr. Bhagavanth, it's a beautiful night,

having ice cream under the

moonlight along with a beautiful lady.

Don't you feel anything?

What, Kaachi?

I mean did you ever experience such

romantic moment with any other girl?

How can I not have, Kaachi?

You have?

Yeah. I have many stories from my youth.

Please tell me.

My cousin, Sampangi,

asked me to accompany her to the market.

I went.

Same as today,

it was a beautiful night,

moonlight,

we had ice cream...

and Sampangi.

She asked me the same

question. Don't you feel anything?

Do you know what I said?

What?

I won't tell, Kaachi.

Please... Please tell me.

I came forward a bit and

Sampangi came forward too.

Then?

- I won't tell, Kaachi.

- Mr.Bhagavanth, please tell.

I held her hands and looked into her eyes.

And then!

I won't tell, Kaachi.

Please tell.

You looked into her eyes and then?

I said it from my heart.

Sampangi, you pay for your ice

cream and I'll pay for mine.

Do you find it very difficult

to study me, Kaachi?

Yes. Henceforth I'll focus on the welfare

of society rather than my marriage.

People were shocked by the sudden

death of Deputy CM Guru Murthy.

His followers and many other prominent

celebrities are coming to see his body.

Change the name of your

party and the state to Rahul Sanghvi.

He friendlily offers thousands of

crores to the party fund every year.

And you are even more friendlier with him,

so you give permission for his drug-loaded

ships to dispatch from the port.

And whoever objects

it, you get them killed.

All your business contracts, the

Project-V, I have all the evidence here.

Even the CM is involved in this.

I won't spare anyone.

Mr. Sanghvi,

you wanted to become number one

by acquiring Project-V, didn't you?

I won't let you become.

I will instead make you zero.

What did you say?

Come again.

I will make you zero.

Hey, Sanghvi. Sanghvi! Leave him.

Let him go, Sanghvi. Hey, Sanghvi!

Mr. Sanghvi, please let him go.

Please listen to us.

What are you staring at? Close the doors.

What is this, Sanghvi? Have you lost it?

I called you to intimidate

him but you killed him.

Mr. Jogi, you know very well

that I am too sensitive.

It was very insensitive of him to hurt

me by saying that he will make me zero.

If he would have been alive, the situation

would be very sensitive for all of us.

He killed the Deputy CM

in the party office itself.

How shall we cover this up?

Stress. Mental stress.

He was going through immense

mental stress due to his dedication,

towards welfare of the people

which caused him heart attack.

In a way, his quality of being too good

and honest is just like bad cholesterol.

- It might hit you back anytime.

- Next?

Can you please tell us about

his services to the people.

- Answer her.

- You have framed the question well,

in English, one second.

Miss, please answer her question.

- You come with me.

- Well he's a great politician...

and a great leader.

I sacrificed my son to save you guys.

What happened to my Project-V?

Project-V is yours,

Sanghvi. We assure you.

But you have to give us Project-T.

- Project-T?

- Yes, 'T' for twist.

When you were killing the Deputy CM,

we closed the doors from within...

But his PA somehow escaped

from here along with the evidence.

If he presents the evidence to anyone,

or if the opposition finds him

it will be more sensitive for us.

Sir won't go back to Delhi

until that PA is found.

He will stay here. He will stay with us.

Now Project-V is in your hands, Sanghvi.

[thunder rumbles]

Very good.

Come on. You can do it.

Pull up!

It's okay. No worries.

Come on get up, let's try again.

Come on.

Chicha... I can't do it.

Chicha... I can't do all these.

Please don't make me do this.

You took 5 minutes to climb the

stairs instead of 2 minutes. Start again.

I served in the Army

for more than 15 years.

Army is not an

occupation, it is an inspiration.

The first woman to enter the Army

was in 1961 as a medical officer.

Coming to 2023, there might be

around 7000 women in the Army...

and some of them might even get a

chance to enter the battlefield.

Dear...

Why did you come here, Kaachi?

Are you here to help Chicha?

I'm here to help you.

As long as you won't sign the

application, he won't stop troubling you.

But if you sign the application

and fail the physical test and exam,

he'll never force you to join the army.

As a psychologist,

that's the best advice I can give you.

I've been trying since

three years, but couldn't.

Thanks, Kaachi.

I made her sign the application.

But you should take care of the

physical test and the examination.

I'll take care of the training.

Now, I truly understand

what's there in your heart.

You started again! Not this time!

Let me tell, Kaachi.

- No, Mr. Bhagavanth.

- This time I'll tell correctly, Kaachi.

I'm leaving.

Kaachi,

if you really want what you desire,

you have to wait for a

long time. Will you wait?

Do you seriously want to attend the exam?

- Let's go to a movie.

- Can I join you?

What?

I heard you are in love with Karthik.

It's unfair that Karthik gets everything,

I deserve some things too, right?

It's a library, no

problem, give me a little kiss.

Come... Come...

If I find you in college ever again,

I'll hand you over to the police.

Don't worry Vijju...

Everything will be fine. Enough now.

Vijji, come let's have dinner.

Vijju...

He's calling you.

I'm no hungry, Chicha. You have it.

Why are you so dull, dear?

Did something happen in the college?

Nothing, Chicha. Nothing happened.

Tell me, dear.

If there's anything, I'll deal with it.

I'll definitely tell you

if there's anything wrong.

But nothing's wrong. Nothing.

I know very well about you, dear.

Tell me what happened.

[gasps]

[siren wailing]

[tires screeching]

Oh!

Is she the one who complained about you?

Do you know who I am?

Do you know about my range in CM's office?

How dare you suspend my son!

What did he do?

He asked for a kiss? Then kiss him.

For instance, if he asks me,

'Daddy I want to sleep with her'.

I'll arrange for security

right now. Who will stop me?

Who will stop me?

Pray to any God that you like, tonight

is the last night of your free life.

Tomorrow onwards, your life will

function as decided by my son.

Chicha! Chicha! Chicha! Please, Chicha!

Chicha, listen to me.

I'll get over it after

two or three days, Chicha.

Chicha! Chicha! Chicha!

Don't, please listen to me, Chicha!

Chicha! Please, Chicha!

Chicha, they are big shot people.

They were talking in

the range of CM and all.

Why to mess with them,

Chicha? We'll let it go.

Dear...

I would've let it go if it

was a dog that was barking.

But that's a mad bull,

I need to break it's horns.

Let me go and talk to them.

- Who is it, Mom?

- I don't know...

Brother, one tea.

Add cardamom too.

- Who let him come inside?

- Shh!

Don't shout.

I'm here to talk.

You asked my child who will

save her and who will stop you.

That's why I have come here.

If you find out who am I and who

are the people in support of me,

you will crawl your way

up and fall on my feet.

You are very rich, sir.

You would have a lot of

people around you for support.

We are poor people.

We don't have anyone

else who stands for us.

We stand for ourselves!

We talk our talks and if

needed, we walk the talk too.

I want to tell you something about

me that a lot of people don't know.

Adilabad...

Bhimsheri massacre!

BHIMSHERI MASSACRE

If that tale is told by someone who

heard about it, it becomes a story.

If it is narrated by an eyewitness

then it is a part of history.

But if the same tale is

narrated by someone who did it,

it leads to causing a

fear which lasts for ages.

That day even sun had

palpitations to look toward the forest.

The beasts that loot the forest attacked

the police who protect the forest.

The forest officer and the rest of

the policemen were brutally killed,

for obstructing their robbery.

[groans]

Mom...

[kid crying]

That kid ran towards the forest looking

for someone who would save them, sir.

That kid's cry was like a

cacophony in the ever-peaceful forest.

I was invited to a war that was not mine.

The kid who ran away

with a fear for his life,

came back with his chest pumped

because he brought death along with him.

I don't know what got into me,

listening to that kid's cry.

That day, the violence that

I wreaked upon was so gory, sir.

The entire forest had not seen

such a violent hunt in all it's existence.

[groans]

[thunders rumble]

[infant crying]

[tongue clicking]

Calm down, dear.

Calm down.

I kept aside duty,

rules and everything for that

small kid who is not even related to me.

I am raising that

child as my own daughter.

If someone troubles

her, will I spare them?

Will I spare them?

Will I?

Son...

My son made a mistake.

I made a mistake too.

If you want I'll ask your

daughter for forgiveness.

Look at me.

Look at me, don't harm my son.

I love my son very much.

If you want I'll go away from this place.

Look at me.

[metal clanks]

Changing the place means nothing.

Your behaviour should change.

You are an educated man.

Is that a way to talk to girls?

My father used to say this.

When people talk about you,

they should not talk about you know so and

so people or so and so people know you.

They should talk about what

you have achieved in your life.

Like I narrated my story.

Sir,

I gave my word to her, that's why

I have come to discuss with you.

Otherwise, I would have sacrificed

all your heads to Goddess Maisamma.

That day, I found out that a

man could be killed with words.

Since then I stopped

smoking and drinking...

and undertook

responsibility and liability.

There certainly is a care-of-address for

the defeat of every narcissistic person.

Just like me, the care of address

for the defeat of Rahul Sanghvi,

is Bhagavanth Kesari.

We must have never heard about

a small fish making a whale run.

But such a thing happened

in Rahul Sanghvi's life.

The failure to catch the Deputy CM's PA

who was an obstacle for his Project-V,

was frustrating for Rahul Sanghvi.

He started tracing his movements...

and killed everyone and anyone

who had anything to do with him.

Just around that time,

something unexpected

happened in Rahul Sanghvi's life.

Karma never loses an address.

The PA whom he was searching for,

is going to introduce Bhagavanth

Kesari into Rahul Sanghvi's life.

Being a reporter I had fixed a deal with

you without even informing my TV channel,

because the justice has to be served.

As long as I have this

evidence, I and my family are safe.

That's why I have not said this to

anyone nor have I uploaded this anywhere.

This deal has the potential to

destroy the whole government

and Rahul Sanghvi within an hour.

The president of the

opposition party is close to me,

I will talk to him and save you.

Don't worry.

I'll throw myself on the wire to save you.

- Hey! [groans]

- [screams]

Let's go. That side...

Hurry up, jump.

Hey, look that side.

Kaachi, look for a good

training academy in Hyderabad.

As soon as the final exams are

over, we shall take Vijji to Hyderabad.

First convince Vijji,

Bhagavanth. She is not prepared.

She's a kid. If she doesn't agree,

I'll tie her up and carry her there.

Karthik, this is high time.

Please talk to your parents and

arrange for our marriage urgently.

Vijji, relax. I'm bringing my

parents to your house tomorrow.

[pants]

Let's sit there...

Urgently send those evidences

to your mail and crash that pen drive.

We need a device to connect the pen drive.

Chicha doesn't know about us.

She has a laptop...

- I am very tensed.

- Excuse me...

Can I use your laptop for some time?

We want to book a ticket

very urgently. Please...

- Use it.

- Thank you very much.

Thanks a lot. Thank you very much.

Venkat,

the PA has passed on some information.

We have to catch that girl at any cost.

Our family is number in

Warangal in terms of Chilli business.

We have hundreds of crores

of assets. For our range,

we were getting excellent

matches but what to do!

Nowadays, children are not

listening to their parents, are they?

Love and etc.

Mr. Priest, look for an

auspicious time for engagement.

Dear,

if you would ask his opinion about it!

Bloody, I'm talking.

Why are you interrupting me?

Why are you you silent?

No, brother. She has to achieve more.

I am not going to get her married.

You are talking as if she

is your biological daughter.

You are just a foster parent, aren't you?

What will women achieve in these days?

Just send your daughter,

I will give assets worth crores.

She shall just take care of my son.

My son would impregnate her and

she would then take care of the baby too.

- [gasps]

- [groans]

- Hubby...

- Chicha!

- [all]: Hey!

- Shh!

Keep quiet.

Such a low-life you are. Insulting women?

You deserve to have your

nose stuffed with chillies, rascal!

Unnecessarily boasting about money! If

you have so much money, put it in your...

Who cares about your money?

Okay, you got them married.

Tomorrow if he dies in some accident.

If you lose your business

due to some stupid decision.

Then, what about your family?

But if she achieves anything, she will go

to a job and take care of you all, right?

Get up! Get lost!

Chicha...

Karthik... Stop, Karthik

Sorry, Karthik...

I apologize on his behalf.

What kind of a person is he?

He behaves like an animal.

Doesn't he have any manners?

How dare he kick my father!

No, Karthik. I can explain.

Enough,

forget about our love and marriage.

You take care of your future first.

If you stay with him,

you can't lead your life as per your wish.

First get rid of him, Vijji.

Dear, don't worry.

He is not the right guy.

He should've stopped his dad when

he was talking nonsense, right?

He should support your

independence, right?

Let's think about your marriage

later, first you need to go to the army...

Leave me, Chicha.

[sobs]

Why are you controlling my life, Chicha?

Let me live like I want to.

I don't want to join the Army.

I want to get married

and lead a simple life.

That's enough for me, Chicha.

Even now I want to scream on top

of my lungs that leave me alone,

but I don't have guts.

I can't.

Look, I'm shivering.

If my dad was alive,

he would have pity on my

condition and console, Chicha.

I have anxiety, fear, phobia.

Having so many weaknesses...

How can I join the Army, Chicha?

I beg you, Chicha.

Dear Vijji.

Don't talk to me.

Don't be around me.

Leave me, Chicha.

Vijji...

She is saying she is not interested.

It is not right to force her.

Leave her alone, Bhagavanth.

How can I leave her, Kaachi?

How can I leave her?

Didn't you hear what she said?

Fear, anxiety, phobia,

she has all these weaknesses.

Will the world let such

a child live a calm life?

Today, I am there for her.

When I'm not there, then?

That's why I'm forcing her.

I have to make her strong.

Just like a lioness.

I will.

Had she been bold like you,

I would have let her go, Kaachi.

The girl who has shivers today,

should become an inspiration

to hundreds of people tomorrow.

She's a kid, she'll say a

hundred things when she is angry,

I should not take them to my heart.

I would not leave her, Kaachi.

I would request her, cajole her,

if required I'd fall on her feet.

But I'll make her strong.

Just like a lioness.

I will.

[music mutes voices]

[tires screeching]

[cicadas chirping]

Hey, start the vehicle. Hurry up! Fast!

Open cam one, yeah.

Cam two,

Zoom in... Zoom in. 10:12 AM.

Open cam five, with same time. Zoom in.

You're right, brother.

A gang has been

following your kid for four days.

It's like a new gang.

I've never seen them before.

The child is at risk.

It's been years since that

hunt, but still I feel goosebumps.

We can't touch the

girl while he is with her.

Divert her.

Divert the girl from him!

Brother, he is that girl's friend.

Greetings, Brother

Dear, you have some danger looming

over you. I have to be with you.

You don't have to talk to

me, just let me be beside you.

Vijji Dear... Vijji...

This topic is very

important in Quantum physics.

Hey, Vijji, Karthik wants

to meet you urgently.

- What happened?

- Some important matter it seems.

Vaishu, where is Vijji?

Karthik wanted to talk something with

her, so his friend came to pick her.

[mobile rings]

Chicha is calling me!

Switch off the phone.

He will create an unnecessary

nuisance again over there too.

Tell man... Will you say it or not.

Where is she? Tell me.

Don't harm me. I'll tell you everything.

Some guy named Suresh, who is the

friend of your girl's boyfriend.

They are taking her away to kill her by

trapping your girl with the help of him.

- Diwakar...

- Brother?

Find out where they took her.

Suresh, you said we are going to meet

Karthik. Why did you bring me here?

Who are all of them?

[tire screeches]

Ah!

Namaste, brother.

I got the girl as you had instructed.

If you could please clear my settlement!

Fantastic...

Hey, sweetie,

last Sunday in the coffee shop,

you gave a laptop to someone and are

talking about something secretly.

Where is he?

What information he gave you?

I don't know, sir.

That was the first time I met him.

Tell me where is he.

I don't know.

Did he tell you anything

about the death of Deputy CM?

I really don't know, sir.

Sir, there is nothing in the laptop.

He must have deleted it.

She is innocent.

What shall we do?

What are you talking?

She knows everything now.

- Kill her.

- [wheezing]

Reach out to this father if

you feel sad or in difficulty...

I'll be there no matter where I am.

Father!

[vehicle honking]

Someone is driving the lorry this way.

Stop him.

I'm sorry, Chicha.

I didn't do it on purpose.

You kept telling me,

but I didn't listen to you.

Chicha, he says he will kill me!

Calm down, dear.

I am here now. Nothing will happen to you.

Get up!

Hey! We clearly outnumber

you. Why are you laughing?

Once we kill her, we too shall

laugh fantastically. What say, boys?

[all laughing]

Dear, you used to call me with a sweet

name in your childhood. What was that?

Superman.

I came like a superman

in the lorry, right?

Even God cannot save her from us.

Who is God?

[voice echoes]

If a father stands his ground to protect

his child, he is equal to 100 Gods.

Then why do you need another God?

You will remember

this day for a long time.

I never wanted to witness

two things in my life.

First one is the fear of

death on my child's face...

and second one is injuries on her body.

Today I saw both.

Rascals, I won't spare anyone.

I want to know who raised his hand.

I want to know who scared my child.

I want to know who sent you all on her.

The one who gives me this information,

will get an opportunity

to take a rebirth today.

If we don't, then?

Like this I will bash whoever I can.

I won't give you an

opportunity to call for help.

I won't even give you a chance to breathe.

If someone dies by your hand,

he is lucky to have faced death.

But if he survives, his whole life

will be more horrible than death.

I want to know who

ordered you to kill my daughter.

[bikes vrooming]

Chicha!

Bro, ask Sanghvi sir to talk to him once.

Sanghvi sir, he is not a single man.

He looks like an ambush

of tigers hunting you.

He looks like he is been possessed.

Sir,

you are going to get hit by lightning.

It's for sure that he will not spare you.

You might be aware if

you see the lightning first.

Vicky...

Sir, our boss is looking at you.

He would like to talk to you.

He is watching you from that CC camera.

Rahul Sanghvi is watching you.

Rahul Sanghvi!

My dear old friend!

So Sanghvi, it's been a long

time since we spoke, right?

Do you know who on this land has

the flamboyance to make you freight?

Son of Forest,

Nelakonda Bhagavanth Kesari.

What a coincidence, Sanghvi.

Nature has again made us

stand opposite to each other.

You made a big mistake by

causing pain to my child.

The old settlement and this

new one along with interest,

I will tear you apart.

Let's have a fair fight.

It's either you or me.

But if you tell me, that you

will meet CM, or you'll call the PM,

or you will use the money you have,

or you will show the arrogance you have.

Bro, I don't care!

Birth and death is in the hands of God,

but the choice of friends

and enemy is in our hands.

The war between Bhagavanth

Kesari and Rahul Sanghvi,

started because of a man's ego.

Who gave him a chair to sit on?

- I have been an MLA here for 20 years.

- Sir, please be calm.

No one came against to me.

- Who seized my material?

- Sir, please stop.

- Sir, hear me out!

- Tell me... Who hit my guy?

- Speak out...

- Please stop it, sir.

Tell me, who was it?

Tell me... Speak out...

- Tell me!

- Nelakonda Bhagavanth Kesari.

He recently got posted here.

He must be here within an hour.

Let me finish the board

meeting in village...

and then I'll shoot both

of you with your gun itself.

SP!

Thanks to all of you who

made the Swatantra Seva Party,

10th Anniversary meeting a success.

I always need your support.

Sir,

we have an arrest warrant in your name.

Get into the vehicle.

[all shouting]

Section 274,

illegal activities in the forest.

Section 302,

brutal killings of police officers.

It is better if you get into

the vehicle as soon as possible.

How dare you file a case

against me? Will you arrest me?

Do you know who I am?

Why are you laughing?

If the boss raises his hand on his worker,

the helpless worker laughs

like this as he can't do anything.

But if the worker beats the boss publicly,

he will die with shame.

Who will beat me?

Attention! Attention!

Beware, all the thieves!

The King of the Jungle is coming.

Circle Inspector!

Nelakonda Bhagavanth Kesari.

Bro, I don't care.

What happened, Rafi?

What are you discussing with him?

Won't he get in the jeep?

Oh, so you are Bhagavanth Kesari?

I have spoken to SP and

fixed the time of your death.

Why did you lift your dhoti up?

Did ants get into your underwear?

Hey...

Today, I'll not leave this town

without witnessing your dead body.

If you display your

egotistic nature before me,

I'd have to put on a headphone.

I'll listen to my beats

and be in my own heat.

Come!

I won't come. How will you take me?

Do you know why we have our

brains in between our ears?

Huh?

Because when the ear starts wringing, then

the matter goes straight into the brain.

One phone call from me is enough,

my men will burn you all down before

you can take me to the station.

- Rafi!

- Yes, sir.

Give him a phone which has a full signal.

We are taking a criminal along

with us to the police station.

Call anyone you like.

[music playing]

"Wind, wind, oh wind,

this wind sheds fragrance"

"and tell me, where she opened her hair."

"Now, reveal her

whereabouts, please do convey"

"I will meet her once,

just show me the way."

- "Let me meet my beloved..."

- "My heart's desire..."

- "Let me meet my beloved..."

- "My heart's desire..."

Hey, Kittu, come out.

I won't come.

Hey, CI...

Do you think we will sit

silently if you arrest Sharath sir?

If you won't release him,

we will scorch down the entire village.

Yes,

we will scorch down the entire village.

Brother, please wait for five

minutes. I need to talk to Kittu.

CI is requesting me.

Face value! He is afraid!

Kittu, scoundrel!

How long will escape from us!?

Come on, get in the vehicle.

Bhagavanth, I won't get into the vehicle.

Look that way.

Bihar Gang.

They aren't petty thieves like us,

they have done many rapes.

They have slit throats of small children.

The Bihar police are scared to

even lay a finger on them.

Face them first and

then get me if you can.

[in Hindi]: Will you take

away my friend? Will you?

I'll mince you into Keema.

Will you touch my friend? Will you?

Will you?

If I see a face that I dislike,

Damn!

Hello.

Mic testing. 1... 2... 3...

I want to see our Kittu's face.

Sir, I'll get into the vehicle.

Kittu, why have you covered your face?

Sir, my face is very ugly.

But I want to see.

Even my wife is not seeing me.

She says it is uglier than a pig's face.

Maybe I like it.

Even I don't like it, sir.

I'd have nausea and

diarrhoea when I see my face in mirror.

- [together]: Sir, our we look ugly.

- We will go get into the vehicle, sir.

We have one more?

What are you doing?

[in Hindi]: My face looks ugly.

I like your face,

go and get in the vehicle.

Thank you sir.

But you're ugly when you smile.

- Rafi!

- Sir!

Parcel this batch to Bihar police.

- Tell them that it's a gift from our side.

- Okay sir.

- Hey, MLA batch!

- [all gasps]

You said you will burn the village down,

show your faces at least.

We won't?

How's the temperature in Adilabad?

It's close to 40 degrees.

All our faces have turned black.

Don't know whether
