Idolle Ramayana (2016) - full transcript

(Harikatha, a form of
Hindu religious discourse)

"Praise be to lord Vishnu"

"Praise be to His ardent devotee
Lord Anjaneya"

Lord of all lords, creator
Lord Rama, the supreme ruler

With the monkey army in action
He entered Lanka with a mission

With all his might, Lord Rama
killed the demon-army of king Ravana

Lord Rama with Sita
and brother Lakshmana

...prepared for their return
to the kingdom of Ayodhya

He hears a feeble voice suddenly

'Oh lord! Help me'

'You have destroyed every single demon'



'Why have You spared
Ravana alone?'

'I beg of You
to kill him too'

Lord Rama rushed immediately
entrusting Sita with Hanuman, his devotee

Headed to Lanka
with his brother Lakshmana

In no time in the disguise of Rama
a demon approached Sita

Sita scrutinized head to toe
this newcomer at her door

He is behaving strangely
He is not my Lord Rama surely

She called Hanuman and said
'This Rama please behead'

'Mother, how can I commit this sin?
He is the epitome of compassion'

The moment Hanuman refused
Sita took the mace rage infused

She raised her hand in fervor
to destroy the demon forever

But Hanuman realized then
Sita was right in her reason

He took the mace from her
Decimated the demon soon after

Demon in the guise of Lord Rama
was killed by the mighty Anjaneya



The demon incarnate
met his befitting fate

Sita must have known
about this impostor-demon

If Lord Rama himself is wicked,
how will Hanuman be devoted

To test the devotion of Anjaneya

This was a drama
enacted by Rama

'Consider it the summary
of this enlightening story'

'The Absolute one, consort of Sita'

'Doyen of virtues, Compassionate Rama'

'Consort of Sita, Omnipotent
Doyen of virtues, Omnipresent'

'Darling of the people
Giver of grace multiple'

'Shower your Mercy on us
O' Lord Rama, conqueror of foes'

Praise be to Lord Rama

Greetings, Bhujang'anna'

What's news?

Am I a News channel to
update you with news?

Nowadays trend has changed, right?

Girls have given up
the traditional attire

They prefer T-shirts and jeans
So I'm losing business

Your shop adjacent
to mine is also vacant

If you don't mind...

...I can run a ladies’ beauty parlor

Finished your orders
for ‘Ram Navami’?

I've finished cutting
all the materials

Then why don't you stitch them
and sew up your mouth also?

Beauty parlor it seems?!
Mind your own business!

God help me!

Is this demon blind?

Where are you gallivanting?

I'm asking you!

I believe she has to
attend a special class

Why can't you advise her?
Her wedding is in May

Why go for special class
when she's getting married?

Is there a rule to-be brides
shouldn't study? Let her go

No one needs to advise me

Teach her a few
prayers to recite

The groom will be visiting us

Teach her to make 'upma'

Let her spend the rest of
her life preparing ‘upma’

Wonder what she'll do
if her fiancé asks for noodles!

Ma, if you bring up this
'marriage' topic I'll kill myself

Go tell that to your father

I'm not telling anyone
I won't get married, that's all!

Gawd! My brother

Nagu, I'll call you later
He has just come home

Listen, Nagu

After he eats and steps out...

...I'll call you
Hang up now

Be terrified of him all your life

Bad enough he doesn't care
two hoots for relatives or friends

I have just reached here

Staying at the regular place
Mallika lodge

Where is your shooting?

I know the place

Has the hero come?

Okay, I'll freshen up
and be there

Your bag, sir

Sir, are you a film director?

Do I look like one?

- Exactly like a film director
- Then take it I am one!

See you

Take me to Mallika lodge

If you call Bhujangaiyah
only he'll answer, right?

What's bugging the inspector?

He is jealous

He wants to usurp
Ravana’s role from me

How can I give up that role
I’ve been enacting last 10 years?

Come to the temple
We'll discuss it there

‘Upma’ is real tasty
Did you prepare it?

She has not yet learnt
how to make ‘upma’

Once she does
you can get her married!

Hey! How old were you
when we got married?

You were 16
She is 19 now

She'll finish her studies
in another year

Can't you wait till then?

We can wait

But I won't!

Who taught you to say all this?

Your brother, right?

I know the hush-hush
between mother and daughter

I notice everything
But I keep quiet

What's wrong in talking
to my brother?

You can't stand the sight of him

Have you ever wondered why?

Does he respect me
as his brother-in-law?

He tom-toms around the town...

...he has given his beautiful sister
to a demon called Bhujangaiyah!

I am respected
by everyone in this town

What does ‘respect’ mean, dad?

Respect means the two horns
your father has on his head

But I don’t see any horn?

It is visible only
to your father

No one else can see it

Drink up your milk

Drink it up

Who is this?

Texted you as 'dear'

Why did you pick up my phone?

First answer me

Who is this fellow?

Messaged you as 'dear'?

We had special class in college

Does that give him a right
to address you as 'dearrrrr'?

Dad, this is how we friends
address each other

What's wrong?

I'll tell you what's wrong

No mobile for you
and no more college

Don't send her
to college from today

Both of you have
pampered and spoilt her

Heard you went for
a movie last night?

Yes, it was a boring film

Nowadays films are-

Where do you want to go, madam?

It's okay, I’ll take you

I'll drop you there

Where will you take her?

Your 'party', huh?

Girls like her will be my party!

Get in, please

Hey! Shiva

Take us near the fort

To the fort?

What is at the fort?

A new film is being shot there

Must introduce
to the director

Me?

'Not yo

But this girl
Let's go

Hello, sir

I am on my way, sir
I’ll be there soon

Dance...?

You bet she dances

Yes, sir, she dances gracefully

Dialogs…?

That you must adjust a bit

We'll talk about it
in private later

See you, sir

- Uncle...?
- Yes

I'm going to Dubai

In this same auto?

Uncle, don't make fun of me
because I haven't got the Visa

Bhujangaiyah has promised
to arrange a Visa for me

When you return, bring me
a pair of Bermuda shorts

Size 34

Please sit, sir
It's been so long

How are you, man?

Coffee or tea?

- I’ll have tea
- Okay, sir

Who is that chap?

Famous director
You don't know him?

He can be a celebrity
He has a name, right?

Garudagiri Srinivasa Rao?

He directed
our hero's 1st film

But it wasn't released

Why is he here now?

May be to narrate
his story to the hero

- Will our hero even listen to stories?
- Don't know about that

Shall I introduce him to you?

He'll bore me to tears

You go and talk to him

- Hello, sir
- Greetings

I'm Rod Nag
Stunt master

Now I've turned producer

Do you remember we have met
when I was a stunt coordinator?

Long time ago
So I didn't recognize you

What brings you here?

To narrate
a story to the hero

He is resting in his caravan
I've informed him

Sir, shall I order tea?

I already asked for a cup

Who is producing your movie?

First let him approve the story
Then I'll think of the producer

Sir, if the hero gives his dates...

...whoever directs,
it will be a soooper hit

In 3 days you can collect
150 million easily

Satellite rights will
fetch you another 50 million

I will produce it myself, sir

Just allow me to have
your name in our banner...?

Let him okay the story first
We'll think of it later

I'll be back, sir

Please carry on
That's priority

Simply superb

A mobile in his hand
would have added glamor

That is for politicians

In what way are you
a lesser person ?

I wish it was a different photo of mine

Don't I look older in this?

You are still a youngster, huh?

Enough...enough

Bhujangam sir, from tomorrow...

...don’t take your usual stuff

- What ‘usual stuff’?
- Spirits and so on

Oh! 'That' huh?

As if I won’t know, I've been
doing it all these years

From tomorrow only buttermilk
and vegetarian appetizers!

Tomorrow for Lord Rama's chariot...

...flower decorations
is your contribution

I am fully aware of that

Bhujangaiyah is a generous donor

His heart is made of gold!

Wonder how many heads
rolled in Dubai!

Let him spend

Hey! You drunkard...!

Your wife eloped with someone
Is she back?

(mocking laughter)

Call the hero

'That's okay
Call the hero first'

The hero will come now
for the shot, won't he?

Which world are you in?

Who can predict
his movements or mood swings!

If the shot is ready
won’t he come at once?

Which century are you in?

We can't go and tell him
the shot is ready

When he comes
we shoot, that's all

Hero will come in half an hour it seems

Hey! Listen

Did the hero say he will meet me?

He's busy today
Wants you to come tomorrow

You should have told him my name

That's why he said 'tomorrow'

If it was anyone else, he would
have said 'come after 1 year'!

'Hero is calling you'

Hey stop!

You go ahead
I'll follow you in a bit

Where did you pick her up, uncle?
She looks like a heroine!

This one, huh?

I know better looking chicks in our town

Our town?

You can't afford her now

Go to Dubai in your auto
and get back, then we'll see

Keep this

Call me if you need a hooker

You will even be paid
10% commission

Who wants your 10% commission?

Stuff it down your throat!

In my-

- Where to, sir?
- Mallika lodge

'We want justice'

'We want justice'

'We want fair play'

- Sir, are you a film director?
- Why do you ask?

I overheard you talking
to someone

Which film, sir?

Not yet named

Wow! Soooper doooper title, sir

That isn’t the title

I really haven't named it

Sir, give me a role in your film

In my town I always play
Hanuman's role, sir

"Long live Anjaneya"

Hey! Stop that racket and drive

Our Telugu film industry
has gone to the dogs!

Not a single film
has a good script

Do me a favor?

You write a script and
save the Telugu film industry

How can I do that?

Each to his own!

- What do you know?
- I drive my auto very well

Then just shut up and drive

Watch out...lorry!

- How much?
- How can I take money from you?

It is your wish

Take this

Finished your duty?

Sir, don't forget me

If you give me a chance,
I'll make you proud

See you, sir

"Long live Anjaneya, lord Rama's devotee"

"World's warrior strong and mighty"

(humming a song from
'Jagadekaveerudu Athiloka Sundari')

"Son of Anjana and Wind God Vayu
Brave and bold, loves Rama true"

Tell me now

Why are you so quiet?

I told you not to send her to the college
I just stepped out to the nearby temple

And she has gone
Both of you are hand in glove-

Proves my words have
no value in this house

Is it wrong to let her study?

Do you know how well educated
my nieces are?

What did they do after studying?

One married some chap
and settled abroad

The other is a spinster
sitting at home like a donkey

You want your granddaughter
to become like that?

On the whole my respect
is in tatter-

'This is constable Nooka Raju
My boss wants you at the station'

I should come
to the police station?

I am eating banana fritters at home

Ask your boss to come here

'Your daughter is here now'

'I think it's some case
That's why he wants you to come'

Why is your daughter
in the station?

- How do I know?
- Now you act all innocent!

- Bro...?
- Where are you?

I'm buying flowers for
our function tomorrow

Do all that later, come home
in your auto right now

Okay, bro
Quick

How much?

Where to, sir?

Nowhere in particular
I left my bag in an auto

Do you remember
the auto's number?

No, I didn't notice

Where did you get down?

Mallika lodge

The driver was
a bearded chap with curly hair

You can't identify him
like this, sir

Wait at the hotel
He might bring it back

If he doesn't, just lodge
a complaint at the police station

Police…er…okay

You've blocked the road
and abused the police

Isn't this good enough
to lock you up?

Is it right for a cop
to manhandle a girl student?

Why don't you arrest him first?

The girl hasn't complained
And her family won't either!

'What you did was
not a petty crime!'

'You've caused nuisance
in public you know'

Wow! Such elite people
inside our police station!

'Mr Bhujangam...come in'

'What a surprise to see you here!'

This is the problem now

How do we handle it?

Tell me

You'll ask me to let them go

I can easily do so

This is not a big case

You guys dare protest
against the police?

I can excuse them if I want to

If it's serious enough
I'll put them behind bars

Arrest them!

Are you teaching me the law?

What's wrong in
a public protest?

My daughter has done me proud

Go ahead and arrest

Do as I say

Haven't you heard of so many
freedom fighters who went to jail, huh?

Mr Bhujangam knows everything

You know I won't stoop so low
as to spoil their future

No wonder you are
challenging me boldly

If the picketers were older...

…my reaction would have been different

Your dreams are very lofty

When the time is right
anything can happen

Who knows, what, where,
when or how situations change?

Will you release them or not?

Shall I make a call
to the Home minister?

I invited him for
our 'Ram Navami' function

He has promised
to come next year

Go home

Dad, my friends also

Go along...go

Jobless!

Take...take them all with you

Take even my constables

Suit yourself

You want me
to serve you dinner?

Clear out

Using Lord Rama's birthday as excuse
don't make a din with loud speakers

You should close down by 10:00 p.m

Ramdas sir, our Bhujangaiyah
doesn't need a mike at all

His voice is loud enough

Sir, call for you

He will get caught one day and
see how I rip his limbs apart

I am Garudagiri Srinivas

The film director
Garudagiri Srinivas?

Yes, but why did you laugh?

Don't you recognize me?

Aren't you the inspector?

No, I am Inspector Ramdas

'In your previous film you gave me
the role of a constable, sir'

I remember now

You were the jeep driver in my film?

That very same Ramdas

'What's the matter?'

I lost my bag in an auto

What kind of director are you?

You are in the cine field
and don't you know?

'Look for your bag
where you lost it, sir'

I lost it in your own town

Wow! You are in our town?
Are you shooting here?

'How much cash
did you carry in your bag?'

Not cash, an important script

Let that go, sir

Telugu audience
will still survive

'Which auto did you take?'

How can I specify which auto?

I lost my bag in an auto
and I need my script back

Somehow get it back for me

'People in our town are trustworthy'

'You'll get it for sure'

Other than honor
and self-respect...

...anything else can be retrieved

'I've never in my life
stepped into a police station'

'Hearing my name that Ramdas
used to pee in his pants'

'I was forced to bow my head
in shame in front of him'

'By now this will be
the talk of the town'

'Gone...everything is lost'

'Respect and reputation I saved up
all these years gone down the drain

Ask your husband
to stop his tirade

As if all those values were assets
he inherited from his father!

- Did she commit some huge crime?
- My bloody fate!

Enough of your drama

Now turn on the water taps
after all the mischief you got into

She isn't crying

Just slicing onions!

Go full swing
on your wise cracks

This house has become
a women-centric place

You will not realize my worth now

When I go away for 2 days
then you'll realize

What should I cook for dinner?

Dumplings and sour curd gravy

You can gobble up the leftovers

I am not coming home tonight

Rest assured I will go somewhere

Cook 1 cup of rice
less for dinner

Be quiet, ma

What a story!

Did you lose only the script
or did you lose money also?

It's not any simple script, sir
It is a labor of love

That's okay
You can write it again

What is your hero saying?

I went to the shooting spot
to narrate my story

He called me too

Requested me to get him
permission to shoot...

...at certain locations
and from the police

Everybody is a time server

What?

Sir, let me take this call

Go on

'Hey! Babu
Come here'

'Ask Kamath to maintain
his lodge properly'

Garuda here

How are you?

You have duty tomorrow?

I came for a discussion session

I'll be done soon

I wanted to ask you
I need some cash

Rs 50000, kind of urgent

Doesn't matter a little
plus or minus

Will you bring it in person?

I'll be here
For 2-3 days

Hey tailor!
Sing a song for us

"Come once to please me"

"Hear my pleas, tease me tenderly"

"Let us both perspire
in each other's desire"

"Come once to please me"

"Come and please"

"Welcome to tease"

"Hear my pleas, tease me tenderly"

"Don't nibble your nails shyly"

"Don't make me drool slyly"

What's wrong, Bhujangaiyah?
You look perturbed

I am upset about something

What happened?

I am not respected here

What do you mean?

The whole town respects you

But I have no respect at home

It is the same story
in every house

Listen to the song
Everything will be fine

"Let us both perspire
in each other's desire"

"Come just once to please me"

'Don't bother about the vasthu'

Come, we can sit and chat

We can't do everything over the phone

Mother Earth is like
our Goddess Lakshmi

- Where are you off to?
- 1 minute, I'll go to the loo

It is north facing
No water problem

Lovely view, sir

"Your beauty is worth
precious gems under the earth"

"When I unearth the treasure
don't stop my pleasure"

"Don't say 'no'
my treasure trove"

"Don't turn me down
jewel in my crown"

"Your kohl-lined eyes
like a spear you slice"

"Your kohl-lined eyes
like a knife you slice"

"I beg of you loud and clear
don't pierce my heart, dear"

The rate is 4 million per acre-

Will you stop it?

He is forever
wheeling and dealing

Switch it off, man

Business, brother

Real estate is his bread and butter

Even our railway station
and police station…

…one day I'm sure
he will sell over the phone!

How many times I've warned you
not to bring your phone here?

Haven't we all come
without our mobiles?

No peace at home

It is no better here

Continue your randy number!

Whose bag is this?

Some director forgot
to take it from my auto

He is staying in
our Kamath 'anna's lodge

Kamath 'anna'

I saw agent Siddramu
with a hottie from Madras

She looked like a heroine
Staying at your lodge

She came to bag a role in a film

Did you hear that?

The world is such a vast Heaven

Don't burn your head
over petty home issues

So many kinds of pleasure in
this world can make you happy

Go ahead with your session

"Youth blooms in many a sleepless night"

"Youth blossoms in sinful delight"

"In old age nothing blooms at all"

"In old age Spring turns to Fall"

"Youth and flower anyhow
are always hand in glove"

"Youth and flower regarding love
are always hand and glove"

"When not used the right way
will fade and wither away"

"Come once please"

"Come once to please"

"Here...encore"

"Come once more"

"Right away, immediately"

"Quick...for a quickie"

"Come once to please me"

"Come and tease me"

(overlap of drunken voices)

If you ride a bike
police will catch you

That's why we should push it

Shiva, come here

I don't feel like going home

I want some booze

'Anna', you are already tipsy

Your wife will be
waiting up for you

"Come once and please me"

"Let us both perspire
in each other's desire"

I must go to the next street
to get you the booze

Be right here
I'll come back soon

(humming)

Shiva?

You said you saw
a hot chick this morning

Is this the same girl?

Of course not
This is some other lady

Shiva, stop the auto
Stop…stop!

What?

She looked at me

So what?

Ask her if she'll come with us

'Anna', looks like
she is from a good family

I am a good family man too

Ask her

Don't joke, 'anna'

Your wife will be waiting for you

I've never tried this before

Ask

Go now

Go

Com-

Will you come?

How many of you?

Only him

Only 1

Super scent

From Dubai

'Anna' is foreign returned

It is very hot here

I just got back from Ooty
It was very cold over there

Hey! Are you blind, moron?

Focus on the road, nitwit

That was you in that poster, eh?

Not bad
Big shot

Feeling shy?

Tell me which hotel
do you want to go?

Let's not go to any hotel

You prefer it in the auto?

'Anna', Mallika lodge?

That hotel belongs to Kamath

Where else can we go?

Let's go home

Home?

No one at home, huh?

Shiva, she looks like a shrew

Let's drop her somewhere
and go straight home

Hey! Want to drop me off?

Am I your wife to be picked
and dropped as you please?

I'll butcher you

Okay...okay

Shiva

Don't worry, 'anna'
I'll think of something

Oh God!

Nothing to worry

Come...come

Wait

In such a tearing hurry, darling?

Shut the door
Quick

Hey! You said only one?

Yes, madam
Only him

I'll step out

If you go, who will
drop me back?

I'll be back
after an hour

Okay, bring me some dinner

I had only lunch

Where are you going?

I'll be back in a minute

What happened, 'anna'?

No need

She's such a demoness

We'll send her away

- And?
- I'll go home

Didn't you hear her swearing?

She'll bring the whole town here

Take this

Go inside

Someone is coming

Shiva, I'm scared

No one will suspect anything

I have locked you in
from the outside

I am taking the key with me

'I am changing, darling
Turn that side'

Whatever you may say

Nowadays experienced people like us
don't get the respect we deserve

In those days the producer was the boss

He sat cross-legged royally
when he distributed the wages

People gratefully accepted
and showered their blessings

Now everything is reversed

The person on the receiving end
sits cross-legged

Smokes right in front of us

Exactly

Do we really need all this?

That's why as soon as the sun sets...

...my car turns into a bar!

I come here

I drink 3 pegs

I eat 2 double omelets

Go back home
for a sound sleep

Why did you bring me here…

…and then keep peeping
into the next house?

This is the problem
with such places

No peace of mind

Hey! Not there
Not on that photo

- Who is that?
- My father

Was he a good man?

Why are you staring
at me like that?

I just asked if he was
a better man than you

(phone ringing)

Your phone
Answer it, quick

Pick it up fast please

No, I'm at the Taj hotel

Speak softly

Is it so urgent?

Can't you see
I am on the phone?

Lower your voice please

Tell me

I am a little busy now

Who will sleep at this hour?

Your husband waits outside
while you talk to some chap, huh?

Open the door, woman

'Don't cheat on your husband'

'If I come in and stamp you
that's the end of you'

Hey!

Shut up and go home
Bloody drunkard!

Please forgive me

I thought this was my house

Where are you, my darling?
Your husband is here

He is rehearsing
what he has to tell his wife

Typical male chauvinist!

Fully drunk, he will either praise
his wife or abuse her

Do you fall into this category too?

(phone ringing)

How many times
must I call you?

What do you think of yourself?

Have I borrowed money from you?

I heard you spoke to Vanaja'ka?

Don't you dare
try to control me

If you try such tricks with me-

Now hang up

Commission, my foot!

If you can lower your voice-

What can I do?

You claim to be a big shot here

Can't you build a bungalow
to pamper such needs?

A cutout for you
is the icing on the cake!

No soda?

Have a peg
You'll be able to relax

No snacks?

What are you staring at?
Pour yourself a drink

Business is business

All this friendship is only later

Has that driver informed you?
I must be paid in advance

I had asked Rs 2500
Did he say 3000?

It's okay

You can pay him commission
from your pocket

I knew it the minute I saw you

You are damn smart

- I must go at 1:30 a.m
- Will you be quiet for a while?

Call your father
Find out where he is

Your husband confiscated my phone

'My phone is on the TV, use it'

His mobile is lying right here

He has left it behind

The same drama

Not the 1st time
he has come home late

Switch off the light
and go to sleep

Carry her

Even for a small tiff I must
suffer hell for the next 2 days

You know the proverb

'Smashing the pot in hatred
instead of the mother-in-law's head'

I told you right then
A peg will help you loosen up

'Turning a deaf ear to my advice'

"The hen has swallowed
the monkey mellowed!"

"The hen has swallowed
the monkey fellow!"

"The hen has swallowed
the monkey mellowed!"

"The hen has swallowed
the monkey fellow!"

"The whitewash overall
swallowed by the wall"

Wasim bhai, pack 2 'biriyani' parcels

"The role swallowed in part
the person playing the part"

"The hen has swallowed
the monkey mellowed!"

Hey you!

Come here

Not you
He's calling me

Hello, sir

Sir, you left your bag in my auto

I am dead tired
looking for you

I need my bag right now

It's safe at home

I'll give it to you
tomorrow morning

That's okay

It's my whole life
I want it right away

I'll come with you now

Sir, I can't get it now

Didn't I tell you, Garuda?

You will surely get
back your script?

Make a note of this

Your movie will run for 100 days

On this happy occasion
sonny, take a swig

No, thank you, sir

Policemen check and
they are so strict

Come on

Just 1 small peg
Don't make a fuss

Not bad, idiot
You chugged it in 1 go

Here, take one more

No, sir, I have to go

All of us have to go
1 day or the other

Here, have some more

Sip...gulp...swallow

Happy? Your bag is safe

What happened?

A rat

Where is it?

Under that

- Underneath
- Where?

Slowly

There...over there

- It's gone
- Where is it?

I can see it

Escaped through the ventilator

There

Through that window?

No bloody rat or mouse

You look like a tiger
Scared of rats

Aren't you ashamed?

Is all this a drama to
avoid coming near me?

If you want, sleep next to me

Don't complain later
you wasted your money

Don't bug me with your stories

Start your auto

Hurry up, I need my bag

I'll give it to you tomorrow

Hey, you there

All your words will
fall on deaf ears

Take him to your place
And return the bag

At least you save me, sir

Bless you, my boy

Start the car

Even the booze has
gone with the wind!

Let's go

I'll bring it even before you wake up

Suppose I die tonight

Don't be ridiculous, sir
Typical filmy dialog

I must get my script
before I die

Come let us go

Shiva, your 'biriyani'

But only on 1 condition

What is it?

You must sit inside the auto

I'll cross the road
and get your bag

Are you okay with it?

Underworld don
Chota Rajan, huh?

Tell this to Ram Gopal Varma
He'll make a movie out of it

Get going now...drive

(phone ringing)

Why did you cut my call?

Shouldn't I talk
to my customers?

It was ringing so loudly

It's already 2'o clock
Where is that bugger?

Wonder if he's in an accident
lying in a pool of blood

- I want to go
- Go to hell

How will I go?

Who will open the door for me?

- Please be quiet
- Will the door open then?

Call someone and
get it opened

No need

Shiva will come

When will he come?

Do you know how much
I stand to lose hour-wise?

Who will pay me?

Cutting my customers' calls too

All you want is money, right?

As if you will give?

Will you really?

In that case, shall I call
my customer and tell him…

…I won't be available
the whole of tonight?

We must be professional, right?

Talk softly, please

Tell me

Not yet

I am working overtime

I won't come tonight

I'll come tomorrow

I'll call you back

(song from 'Gabbar Singh')

Stop...stop

Police, sir

I'll talk to them

Don't haggle with them...danger, sir

Hey! Blow, man

I have a passenger, sir

Blow, I say

Sir, full bottle rum

Come along

Seize his auto
and bring him here

Sir, let me go

My wife will be waiting for me

It gives you the right to wake up
the entire neighborhood?

- Let me go, sir
- Get his permission

Bhujangaiyah's driver

Come here

Sir, my grandma will be
waiting for her dinner

Which grandma stays up
hungry so late at night?

My grandma will be starving

I am Garudagiri Srinivas

If your name means 'eagle'
I am king cobra! Tell me

What can I say?

I came in this auto

Let him go
He isn't too drunk

That's why
we have arrested him

Get another auto and go

No, sir, I have to go
only with him

He's drunk, man

He didn't want to
I made him drink

What a strange case!

We don't have rights
to arrest a passenger

- Send him away
- Hey! Wait

Sir, according to section 1029 of IPC
a man who abets murder is also arrested

Are you a lawyer?

Not me, sir

My cousin's maternal uncle's
brother is a lawyer

They are all loonies

- He's a famous film director
- All are equal in the eyes of law

- Take him to the station
- Let's go

- What to do now?
- I'll handle it

Inspector Ramdas is
a good friend of mine

Don't worry
I'll talk to him

Come on

Maaaa!

I've told you not to
watch horror films

He watches only ghost films
and spoils my sleep

'Who is it?'

'Who...?'

'I am neither a deity
nor a dead body'

'Calling me at an unearthly hour?'

'Can't you check the number?'

'If I ever meet you
I'll kill you, hang up now'

Walk...make it fast

Director sir, go in
and talk to them

Greetings, sir

I would like your inspector's
landline number

Is this the time to ask
for his landline?

Get up from there

He's a good friend of mine

By any chance is today
'friendship day'?

Look, he claims to be
the Home minister’s friend

'And the other chap claims
he's the Chief minister’s friend'

Now you were
the only one left!

You got me wrong
Wait, let me check

I tried calling his mobile
but it is switched off

Once he switches off
his phone at 9:00 p.m...

...he turns it on
only at 9 the next day

Talk to him then

What if there was
a sudden terrorist attack?

Won't he come even then?

What am I here for?

I am capable of
handling it single handed

Go and sit with them

'Handle it single-handed it seems'

'Does he think he is hero Saikumar
of 'Police Story' fame?'

'He and his blessed job!'

What is it, sir?

Looks like Inspector is suffering
from piles, he isn’t co operating

My grandma will be
waiting for her dinner

All over our country
people are dying without food

She won’t die
if she misses one meal

Go and sit there

Go and sit

Such a pain!

(ring tone)

You've got a call

'Why did you call
and hang up?'

What?

- 'Why did you call me?'
- Who are you, man?

Tell me why?

Why should I call
and hang up?

- Are you my lover?
- 'I don't mind!'

If you harass me
I'll complain to the police

Now hang up, bloody ass!

'Why did you call and
then hang up?'

Such a pain!

Is this your doing?

Can't you sit there quietly?

Useless fellow!

Look! He is calling again

Thanks to you, he'll bug me
the whole night through

Come and crash here

Till your chap comes

(loud snoring)

'Anna', it's me Shiva

I am a little drunk
and police caught me

I'll be a little delayed

I can't open the door
of the shop till morning

Please compromise
with that woman

Just pay her some cash
That will shut her up

'Anna?!'

Action!

What?

I want to talk to you, sir

Won't you allow me to direct
a movie even in my dream?

Please hear me out, sir

What is it, man?

I committed a huge blunder

That dinner wasn't meant
for my grandma, sir

What now?

That devil will come at dawn
Come, lie down quietly

What a weirdo I got
as my customer tonight!

I was wrong about you

I thought you were innocent

- I committed a mistake
- Not 1…but 2

You have locked up
that girl with your boss

Then you called and
informed his family

I feel you have
done this deliberately

Sir, I swear upon my mother
I’m not like that

'Brothel case?
In our town?'

Are they both inside?

Locked in?

Don't tamper with the lock

What are you doing here?

Hey! Get up

Take them in

Get inside

I am on my way

'Call the media
We need evidence'

Stay here

'Take mug shots of them'

'Let me see how they can
escape in my town'

'Start the vehicle!'

I am done for!

My boss is trapped now

I am doomed

Don't let your imagination run wild

Nothing of that sort will happen

No, sir

The police will track them

Inspector and 'anna'
are always at logger heads

I'm sure he would've caught them

How will I face Bhujang'anna's wife?

They have come

'Move it'

'Get down'

Put her in the ladies’ cell and
ask the lady constable to come

Come here

This is a different pair, sir

Not Bhujang'anna'

Don't you have any
friends you can trust?

We can open the door
with their help

Friends of 'anna'...?

No one I can trust, sir

(startled)

Hey tailor!

'Give my wife's blouse
I am leaving out of town'

What's your hurry?

Lord Rama's birthday
is only tomorrow

But don't I have to travel to
my father-in-law's to celebrate it?

Won't your father-in-law let you
inside his house without the blouse?

'Here...go and celebrate'

'Such a nag'

'You are to blame'

'Is he the only tailor in town?'

'Let's go'

'Even if he gives it late
it will be the latest pattern'

'Unidentified dead body
found along the roadside'

These reporters have no better work
than hunt for dead bodies the whole night

That is yesterday's news

Your News will scroll today
on TV as current headlines

Hey! Don't give him any tea

Last night he banged on
our head constable's door

Sir, what do I do now?

What happened?

I must drop a few kids
in school, regular clients

Their parents are calling me

You have that duty also, huh?

Ask a driver you can
rely on to drop them

Shiva, where are you?

I've stepped out
on some errand

It's getting late for school
When will you come?

I'll arrange a vehicle in 10 minutes

Tell me, Shiva
Where are you?

My auto broke down

Are you free now?

Yes, tell me
I am near the stand

Will you do my school trip for me?

My regular route

Tell me

When will the Inspector come?

My boss is very duty conscious

Very punctual

He'll be here
sharp 9:00 a.m

If he isn't acting
in any film!

It's getting late

Become a habit for you

Ma, where is dad?

He has gone to buy
new clothes for the festival

Fat hopes!

Till then be in your birthday suit!

Ma, be quiet

Come, dear
Hurry up

You've spent all your time
peeping through that window

Order a glass of tea

Are you mad or what?

Look, if you pamper me
I'll indulge you

Otherwise that's it!

But I won't treat you like that

You are a good man

You will give me money
whenever I ask

If I ask you now
won't you oblige?

Did you really spend
the whole night at the station?

What to do?

I asked to be arrested
trusting you'll be here

After I came, I realized
you had gone off duty

Don't get me wrong

That's a long story

When I was posted at Kadapa
I was on duty for a minister

I cracked a joke
for which I was suspended!

Joke?

It was a 3-day duty

I said 'when will this nut case
let me sleep in peace'?

It was heard in the walkie-talkie

Some damn reporter
published this as News

So as punishment
I was transferred here

That was when I decided, sir

Only attend to my duty
during working hours

What happened to
your bag and script?

I kind of got it back

Didn't I tell you, our auto drivers
are gentlemen to the core?

What are you up to?
I'll skin you alive

Aren't you Bhujangam's man?

Yes, sir

Add him to our rowdies' list

He thought I forgot

10 years ago I acted
in a film you directed

It was a super combination

He is Kamal Haasan
and I am K.Balachander?!

- What did you say?
- Nothing

After that you gave me a role
But no dialogs at all

I acted in a film
after I was suspended

I had just 1 dialog

Shall I tell you?

If 'anna' signals the sun will rise
even in the middle of the night!

That dialog lacked punch, right?

Dialogs must carry
a certain punch, sir

Make sure your film
has punch dialogs

Will do

You are awesome, sir

I'm getting late
I'll take leave now

Okay, fine

Don't be a Smart Alec

Where is the brothel case?

You don't have to
search for thieves

They are right here

Where is Raja Rao's house?

You mean the one
who owns a poultry farm?

'He has stopped his bird business
and is now busy breeding fish'

'Go straight down'

'Take a left after
the Anjaneya temple?'

'Go straight from there-'

Don't use the phone
You will be heard

Who will open the door
if I don't call?

If you make 1 more call-

What will you do?

You will kill me, huh?

Hey! Why do you use that horn
deafening our ears?

'I am screaming
my throat hoarse here'

How can anyone hear
above this din?

Where is he?

He is even more in a rush
than the lorry fellow

Goodness!

Don't move

How many times should I tell you
not to make such a racket?

Is your hand glued to the horn?

Park in front of your house
and keep honking

'You'll get a solid shelling
from your wife, blackguard'

'If I set my eyes on you again
I'll chop your hands, rascal'

'Get lost!'

Get my bag

Please hire another auto, sir

What?

Sir, I am scared

Why, man?

You have locked up 2 people
Relieve them and bring my bag

All the shops will be open now

So...so what if they are open?

I want my bag now
I have work to do

Key, please

1 minute, sir

'Anna' will cut a sorry figure, sir

Think of something, sir

Come

- Try this
- Tell me, sir

Take some other auto and
go to that place and observe it

Study the situation,
location and atmosphere

Come and tell me

Then I'll give you an idea

Sir, please come with me

You are lucky I gave you
an idea after what you did to me

Now get lost!

Are you pregnant or what
to cover your ears like this?

Move aside

What do you think of yourself?

Are you a sadist?

Do you want to
starve me and kill me?

I don't know what to do

I know what to do

Listen to me

Let me go

Shiva will come now

I am telling you...don't

Take your hands off me

Listen to me

Be quiet

Ammaaa!

Blood…!

Blood on my shoe

Hey! It's paint
This isn't even blood

Go away all of you

Attend to your work

'This is paint...not blood'

Clear off!

It is paint spilt in
Bhujangaiyah's shop

Come, dear

Hey! You three
Come here

Go to the rear, look inside
Check and tell me

Climb up and see

'What is the matter?'

Nothing to worry

A can of paint has spilt

'It is seeping out'

'They have gone to check'

Why are you back
from school so early?

They declared a holiday, grandma

Can you see anything?

- What?
- Nothing, bro

Only a can of paint has tipped over

Look properly

There's nothing else in here

- Get down
- I might fall...hold me

'Shiva has the key
We can check when he comes'

Did you see properly?

Yes, sir

- Was the door of the shop open?
- Don't know, sir

Didn't you get out and check?

There was a huge crowd
in front of the shop

How do I handle his case?

Tell me exactly
what happened

You say there was a crowd
and then the shutter was down

Your script has to be crystal clear
for me to predict the climax

Answer it, man

Bhujang'anna's wife is calling

No…no, don't talk

Don't talk to anyone till
you are clear about the situation

Just keep it there

Shiva's phone is ringing

But he isn't answering

We were together last night

'He called me this morning
saying his auto had a break down'

'He even asked me
to drop the kids at school'

Bhujangaiyah has to act as Ravana
We need to rehearse

He is a natural demon
Don't you worry

He'll act as Ravana and do
an Oscar winning performance!

Only Shiva will know where he is
Try calling him again

Where are you going?

(phone ringing)

I have fixed
my daughter's wedding

Don't make me lose
my self-respect

Shiva will come tonight

Lodge owner Kamath had called

You haven't been here
for the past 2 days

I would appreciate it
if you can pay an advance

I have been trying all this while
I'll get the cash soon

Then I'll pay you

1 minute, sir

- What should I do now?
- Dance on my head!

Torturing me for so long

If you don't bring my bag
I'll complain to the police

Get lost!

Understand my position, sir

(phone ringing)

Hey Shiva
What a surprise!

Uncle, I want the details
of a girl urgently

Your hormones working overtime
during the day, huh?

Please don't joke
This is serious

She's around 30 years
Very good looking

Do you know anyone like that?

What is her name?

Her name...?

I don't know, uncle

'At least tell me
where you saw her'

Behind Goddess Shakthi temple
Around midnight, 12:30

That is 'kerosene' Vasu's area

Why don't you call Vasu?

I beg you, uncle

Can you talk to Vasu
and let me know?

I'll ask around
and call you

Thanks, uncle

Come here, dear
Eat 1 more spoonful

Do you trouble your mom
daily by fussing to eat

Isn't that being a bad girl?

Not at all

Okay, eat

Don't use Bhujangam as an excuse
and not attend your niece's wedding

Come with your family, okay?

Is she your wife?

As beautiful as a Goddess

Why did you go in for all this?

The one sitting a little away
is your older daughter, right?

You're getting her married so early?

These men are weird

She is so young

Why do you want to
get her married so soon?

Let her study further

She must be having
dreams of her own

Look at me

I did not study
when I should have

Forget all that

What's the use
of sitting like this?

Call someone and
get the door open

Shall I call constable Vanaja'ka?

No need

No one should know

There is a person I can call

A friend I can trust

He respects me a lot

But it won't be proper
to call him here

No need to call anyone

Shiva will come

He must be waiting for
the nearby shops to close

It's all my fault

I should not have got drunk

How will I ever face 'anna's' wife?

What will I tell 'anna'?

Stop it!

Stop your overacting

How long will I listen to you?

Like a broken record!

If you are so concerned
open the door and say...

...you were the one who
spent the night with the girl

How can I change
my words now?

I have already blabbered
his family by mistake

Get up from there

You and your sob stories!

What do you think of me?

Ranting about your 'anna' and his wife

There is a hapless woman in there

Did you think of her plight?

Who is she?

I have no idea, sir

Don't know?

You have locked up
a total stranger

Do you know what
a huge offense that is?

This is enough for you and
your 'anna' to be put behind bars

Come what may I want
my script by this evening

Remember Ramdas is my friend

Don't tell him, sir

Shall I call him?

Get out

Out!

I was trying to call you

Coming tomorrow morning?

Okay...okay

Alright

Give my regards
to your wife Saroja

Same to my brother-in-law

See you, ma

My father-in-law is visiting us

Bhanu, anything urgent
call me, I'll come

'Don't worry
Where will he go?'

'I am sure he will be back soon'

Keep the lamps for
the prayer this evening

(devotional song)

You are already here?

Is there a party tonight also?

What is the use?

Today and tomorrow are dry days

Just came out of sheer habit

Where is Bhujangam?
Not to be seen

'No idea, bro
He isn't at home either'

'Must have gone out of town'

What is this?
You are assembled here

Alcohol won't be sold today, right?

Anyway Bhujangaiyah
won't drink today

If Shiva was here
we could've got something

Where is he?
Missing in action

Kamath'anna', I saw his auto
parked in front of your lodge

But Shiva was not there

A director had left behind
his bag in the auto, huh?

Maybe there was money in it

And he must be living it up

Shiva and Bhujangam
are a cunning pair!

'They never disclose
what they are up to'

'Only God knows'

Shiva is devoted to Bhujangam
like Anjaneya to lord Rama

He has promised to help Shiva
to get a Visa to Dubai

In return he's being helpful

Shiva is not to be blamed
Bhujangaiyah is controlling him

'In his dreams
Shiva will go to Dubai!'

'He says he was in Dubai
Who knows what he did there'

'Cleaning the toilets
or sweeping the roads'

'No one knows'

But whatever he did...

...he came back loaded, right?

Do you know how
he earned all that money?

He broke some Sheikh's skull
and robbed him of his money

What he says is right

Money and respect
go hand in hand

His father used to
sell fish in the market

'Such humble beginnings'

'Now look at him'

'He heads the Ram Navami Committee'

Listen, friends
We are chit chatting here

It's time for our deity to be
taken around in the chariot

Wonder if Bhujangam
is already there

He might even be insulting us right
now over the loud speaker, let's go

I'll close my shop and come

(quiet sobs)

'Are you crying?'

Do men cry?

Life is like this

Nothing ever happens
the way we expect

We must set it right with clear head

Lord Rama's procession
will pass my house very soon

And If I am not there...

...the whole town will wonder why

How long will you sit like this?

Shouldn't we do something?

Give me a hand

No one will hear this noise
in the din outside

Ouch!
My hand

Let me see

Come this side

'Don't you want me
to live any longer?'

'I'll go kill myself, just say so'

What did I do
to deserve this?

I go around with You
even in my auto

Only because of me
Bhujang'anna' is trapped

Help him get out
without exposing him

Just give me 1 chance

I'll rescue them
and I'll disappear forever

I swear I'll never blunder
like this ever again

I believe in You

I know You won't let me down

I vow to break 100 coconuts
if You grant my wish

Help me, o' Lord

Shower Your grace

Take all this back

I don't want it

I am not that kind

I'll keep the money though

I need it

Shiva has come

Take your things and go

- Quick
- Wait

Will you go home
disheveled like this?

Wait a minute

I have a shirt in my bag

I actually bought it
for my friend

I don't know if it will fit you

But take it

Please

Though you seem
a tough nut to crack...

...you are soft as marshmallow inside

Do you take good care of your wife?

Do you beat her?

Of course not!

Do you scold her?

Sometimes

Don't scold her
from now on, okay?

What is your name?

Which of my names
should I tell you?

I have a different name every day

You can call me 'bangaram'

Am I not 'precious'?

'Anna', has that woman gone?

She left long ago

Where did you go
after opening the door?

Door...?

I didn't open the door, 'anna'!

Who opened it then?

I committed a big blunder

I was so stressed out
at the police station

I called your mobile
and explained my situation

I forget you didn't have the mobile

I blabbered like an idiot

Who-

Who did you talk to?

I don't know

How could you do this?

Don't cry 'anna'

Forgive me

I know someone who will help us

Let's go to him
He will tell us what to do

He will give us an idea
Trust me on this

Let's go

Hello, sir

Here is your bag, sir

Do you accept I am
a good chap at least now?

- Did you send Ravana to Lanka?!
- I am stuck with a problem, sir

Now what?

'Anna' is here, sir

Not here, sir
He's waiting down there

Look at that floral shirt of his!

Does he watch
too many Telugu films?

What kind of jazzy shirt is that?

Now what is the problem?

Someone from his house
opened the shop before I did

So…?

He is in dilemma where to go

Could you give us
an idea of a way out?

What do you take me for?

I can't write a script every hour

One must script his life
of his own accord

He must go home
sometime or the other

He should consider himself blessed
his respect is still intact

Ask him to just shut up
and face the music

If he cannot face such hurdles...

...he can't progress in life

Go advise him

Dad?

If you don't come
back home for 2 whole days...

...won't your family be worried?

Please try and curb
your temper, son-in-law

Did you bring us
new clothes, dad?

I have given it to the tailor
You will get it tomorrow

Who plaited your hair?

Mom did

What have you done to yourself?

Go, play inside

Hot water is ready

Shower and I'll serve dinner

(phone ringing)

Dad, that call is for me

'Tell me'

'That was a huge favor
I owe you one, big time'

The guy who opened the shutter

He's my friend

He was the one
who called now

Don't worry, dad

I haven't told anyone at home

I sent the key
through my friend

I can trust him

Friendship is all about trust, isn't it?

Your friends are not dependable

Go and freshen up

Bhanu

Let us not get our daughter
married right now

Let her study

'Praise be to
my Lord Anjaneya!'

Jai Anjaneya!

Jai-

- What, uncle?
- Hey! Shiva

I didn't get the hooker
you were looking for

I have a chic chick
Shall I send her?

Hang up!

'But you were the one who asked'

- Hang up
- What's wrong with you?

'You asked for a hooker'

If you call me again
I'll butcher you

Hang up now

Lord! You create
this kind of species also

Jai Anjaneya!

Where are you?

I am here waiting
at the railway station

You are here already?

How are you?

I told you I'd be here yesterday

But was held up
somewhere else

Doesn't matter
Good you came today

Were you busy
with discussions?

I was also stuck elsewhere

Don't I know you!

Hold this

This is...

...what you asked

There is 20,000 here
I have only this for now

I will give you more next week

That's okay

Take your time

What did your hero say?

Did you narrate
the story to him?

I was supposed to
but I lost my script

Oh! 1 minute

I read a script yesterday

It was very interesting

It can be made
into a hit film

I had bought you a shirt also

But I had to give it
to someone else

I'll bring you one
next time definitely

Was it a jazzy floral shirt?

Your script is good

Make a film

Not necessary

I've got a new story now

'Mana Oori Ramayanam'

I have to go now

In threatening and terrorizing”

“We will be in full measure
Surpanaka, Ravana’s sister”

“Hypocrisy or pretense
double-dealing disguises”

“Blunders and burdens
for our sustenance”

“Till our last breath of existence”

“This pain will be part of us”

“Ramayana is our epic well known”

“This is ‘Ramayana’ of our town”

“Till someone comes along
to tell us we are strong”

“We will be sitting in a corner quietly
Like Hanuman, Rama’s best devotee”

“We will nod our heads like Queen Kaikeyi
to hunchback Manthara’s words of chicanery”

“We will sleep like Kumbhakarna
The younger brother of Ravana”

“Oblivious to our surrounding
to whatever is happening”

“We will loot and plunder
in a possessed manner”

“Forget our kith and kin
Family bonds within”

“Will time that has ticked away
return even if we pray”

“In enmity’s hold engaged
won’t this world avenge outraged?”

“Let us encounter amongst ourselves
any flaws, faux pas or lapses”

“Ramayana is our epic proud”

“This is for everyone in the crowd”

“We gossip about people and issues”

“Except story related views and news”

“Lend me your ears delightedly
Let me tell you wholeheartedly”

“Ramayana is our epic well known”

“This is ‘Ramayana’ of our town”

“This is our Ramayana 1st copy”

“To make people truly happy”
