(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 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
