A story that began ages ago.
This dark tale is told through three warnings.
This is the last warning.
A sacrifice must be made.
When a message from hell arrives,
the sacrifice must reach the fort beyond the village.
2,000 YEARS AGO
The sacrifice here is a human life.
Beyond that fort lies death.
1,000 YEARS AGO
A thousand years later, the tale repeats itself.
Every time the signs appear,
the King and the villagers
always offer a sacrifice.
500 YEARS AGO
This time, the chosen sacrifice was...
An infant!
But King Prataparudra Varma,
wanted to rebel.
This helplessness grips me like cuffs on my hands.
I fear this incapacity shall haunt me all my life, my dear minister.
We must end this.
My lord, I have found a second entrance to the fort.
This is the right time to attack.
The King and his army were never seen again.
Because...
The one inside that fort,
the one they appease with sacrifices,
is no ordinary man.
He's a dark, malevolent spirit.
No one should repeat the mistake your father made.
- Here you go. - The ritual must carry on.
Time will choose the next sacrifice.
It's me. Stop staring out the window.
You look like that place scares the life out of you.
Stop staring. You'll sweat less.
I'm really scared, sir.
I heard no one from your village ever goes that way.
You want all the news, huh?
Stop poking your nose into everything.
You're new to the village, and here for the ceremony, right?
- Ananda? - Yes, Father.
- Here. - Take it.
I've blessed this talisman. Just 150 rupees.
Tie it on your wrist. You can go wherever you want.
- Except that place. - Okay, sir.
And if he goes there?
If he goes there, he won't come back.
The seat will be empty. Next time, you can take it.
- No need. - Father.
It's 150 rupees.
Chari's running a scam, selling threads as talismans.
I feel the same.
Hey, who is that?
- He's figured it out. - Shut your mouth, Ananda.
Hey! We're descendants of royal priests.
Our primary work is astrology. Black magic is only secondary.
With just a talisman, I can snap your wife's mangal sutra.
Like how you used to snap Mother's mangal sutra to drink, Father?
You're good for nothing. Go sell those threa-- the talismans.
Father, if we keep fooling people, we'll be caught someday.
Who dares to stand in my way!
EERA BABU U.S.A
SUKANYA WEDS MAHESH
What's up, my homies?
My beloved villagers. Long time, no see.
I'm back, baby.
You won't get more than 150 rupees for that.
It's a good deal. Take it.
Nothing's changed around here. Catch it!
- Let's go. - Why didn't you offer more, oldie?
- PT sir?! - Huh?
Dude, it's PT sir.
Sir, how have you been?
Sir, I've been meaning to tell you something.
That "one arm's distance" rule you drilled into us is completely useless.
Either change it or drop it altogether.
PT sir, keep it, sir!
- Let's go. Hey, it's Subbarao. - You could've said you're not him.
- Pig farm Subbarao. - Yes.
He opened a YouTube channel on pig rearing and protection.
He started with a single pig and birthed thirty more.
I mean, bred them.
Who is this guy?
He's sticking his nose into everything.
He's Borewell Mangamma's grandson.
- I think he just got back from America. - Oh!
So he's from America.
Venkateshwara Rao!
Is that you? He doesn't even recognize me.
It's Eera Babu. He's back from the States.
It's not "Eera Babu." It's Veeru.
Enough messing around. Sit down.
Chari uncle!
You're still alive?!
Could you scooch over a little?
I heard you were the village's first COVID casualty?
- Who told you that? Hey! - It was a close call.
Ever since, he's been running this business on buses.
- Business is great. - Oh, nice!
Hold on, you idiot.
You just landed out of nowhere.
What's the reason?
Well... I'm here because...
I'm in love... with a girl.
- Love? - Love?
You never said anything about love!
Who's that unlucky girl?
Do you know who caught my eye?
And stole my heart?
Do you know who this heart beats for?
Do you know my dad's going to get a stiff neck if you keep this up?
- Oh, sorry. - Just tell us who she is.
Well, her name is...
Just tell us.
I mean, she's a good girl. She's from our village.
Her name is...
- Sukanya. - Huh?
- Our S-Suk-- - Yeah!
A HEAVENLY MATCH, AN EARTHLY WEDDING SUKANYA WEDS MAHESH
Hey,
- you still can't read Telugu, can you? - No. Obviously, I can't.
"You still can't read Telugu." That's your takeaway here?
How could you be in love with her?
- It's that girl's wedd-- - Shut up!
Don't disrespect her by calling her "that girl."
- That's not what I meant-- - She's my future wife.
I always knew you didn't like her.
- Hey. - I heard you harassed her at the temple.
She called me, sobbing her heart out.
Me? Harass her?
- Do you even know it's her we-- - Shut up!
She warned me you'd call her mad.
That's why no girl ever looks at you. Ugh!
If you ever want to speak to me again, you must first apologize.
Ugh... Me?
Apologize to you? Because of her?
- She's got you under her thumb. - Don't take it to heart, Balu.
We need to understand him.
It's mad love.
This mad love isn't mine, sir. It's Sukanya's.
She's a mad woman, sir.
She insists I call her "baby!"
If I accidentally call her Sukanya,
she calls me right away, thinking I'm mad at her, and...
She showers me with nonstop kisses.
- Nonstop kisses. - Get lost!
She does that.
So you're the lucky lover getting all the kisses?
Always.
Moreover, she even got my name tattooed.
- Veeru. - Where?
It's here, dude. Right here.
Our wedding procession has to be here.
Why don't you just tell him the truth?
That's friends for you.
You try to tell them something, but they just don't listen.
Once he realizes the truth, he'll come back with booze.
I'll have that conversation then.
Okay, okay.
Let's plan a photo shoot, dude.
Sukanya and I in the Titanic pose.
PILLI FAMILY'S WEDDING CELEBRATIONS
Your Titanic went down a long time ago.
- I'm sorry? - It's nothing.
He's saying you should lift your head and look up.
But why?
Oh, it's for the size?
It's perfect. Exactly what I had in mind.
It's going to be amazing.
Mrs. Mangamma, when did your grandson get back?
Why would he be here? He's somewhere in the US--
- Hey! - Grandma?
What's this, Eera Babu? You didn't even call before coming?
And look at you all dressed up! Where are you off to?
I'll tell you. Just take a look over there.
But why?
PILLI FAMILY'S WEDDING CELEBRATIONS SUKANYA WEDS MAHESH
Baby! Baby! Baby!
The idiot wants to marry her!
Babe. What is this, babe?
Babe? Call me Sukanya.
If someone sees us, they'll get the wrong idea.
God!
Sukanya?
- Why are you here? - What do you mean, "why"?
I thought it was our wedding. Why is it only yours?
I had no choice, Veeru.
- Just look at Grandma. - Oh God.
She could die at any moment.
My marriage... Is her last wish.
Is that so?
I won't, I won't come
- I won't come to Mumbai - I won't come to Mumbai
I won't come to Mumbai
Hey, she's more energetic than a teenager. And she's dying?
You're vibing to the song too, baby?
It's for my parents, Veeru.
I don't like this wedding. I have zero interest.
I've never even spoken to the groom.
She's a mad woman, dude.
My Sukanya's a mad woman.
She always insists I call her "baby."
She hates it when I call her Sukanya.
She showers me with kisses, assuming I'm upset.
Hey, hey, hey!
- Baby. - Yes.
So you run the same act with everyone?
Isn't that wrong?
Veeru, just leave for now.
I'll explain everything after my wedding. Okay?
Hey, hey!
What's left to explain after the wedding?
Hey, Veeru brother is here.
Veeru brother?
He buys her everything, phones, clothes, you name it.
- He's like her own brother. - Hey!
He takes such good care of Sukanya.
- Treats her just like his own sister. - Hey!
Sukanya has no one else looking out for her.
- Sukanya, it's time. - What's going on, Sukku?
- Okay. - Listen to me, Sukku.
Veeru.
- Sukku. - Are you sad?
Well, I--
We made your favorite fish stew. Have some before you leave, okay?
Fish stew.
Brother.
You told me to apologize to your future wife.
If you call her, I'll apologize, brother.
Sorry, brother.
S-Sorry, brother.
Sorry, brother.
If she still remembers that I love fish stew,
then I'm the one in her heart.
- So? - Only me.
- Let's stop the wedding. - Huh?
Not "huh," man.
Let's stop the wedding. Please, dude.
I'll remind her of my love.
Please, dude. Do something.
Please, dude. What do we do now?
Wait a minute.
What's this?
Look over there.
SRI GANCHAA CHARI ASTROLOGY CENTER
Gaa...
Gum...
Gan...
- Is that what it says? - Idiot!
It's "Ganchaa Chari Astrology Center."
Oh!
- Wait, it's Chari's house? - Yeah.
- Why, dude? - Hey.
- He also casts love spells. - What?
Why?
I mean... who?
Mr. Chari and his daughter, Subbalakshmi.
What? Her?
What are you saying? She's not that talented.
She's too short for a chair.
And she'll fix my life? Give me a break.
Fine, let's do one thing.
- Let's go attend Sukanya's wedding. - Don't be hasty. Alright.
Ask him.
- Mr. Music Director. - Yes?
Stop that composition and call Subbalakshmi.
She's busy hammering another pot inside.
Buddy! Put down the hammer and pot and call your sister.
- It's a matter of life and death. - Okay.
Sister! Sister!
- Have a seat. She'll be here. - Okay.
- Let's go inside. - Okay.
- Someone's already inside. Let's wait. - Okay.
You've given me a big responsibility.
I don't know what may happen.
I've studied the planetary movements.
They all indicate danger for this village.
But...
They don't tell us when.
Those are the village elders.
My ancestors foretold
that our people may witness a meteor strike this village.
I'm still haunted by the fear that it might come true.
Any name from the village might come up.
Including... our own.
So let's be prepared.
This secret stays between us.
- What are you guys doing here? - Nothing.
Tell me, why are you here?
Subbu, this is Veeru.
- Hi. - Didn't you recognize him?
Oh, Veeru! When we were kids...
I don't have time for nostalgia or throwback Thursdays right now.
Tell her why we are here.
He's in love with Sukanya.
- Yeah! - We must stop her wedding.
Why all this now?
- If not her... - "There will be another girl!"
"Monday comes after Sunday!" Don't say such pointless things!
Can you stop it or not?
Ananda!
Bring that Black Cobra!
What is this? Is it poison?
Should we add it to the groom's wedding-night milk?
- Must we kill him? - Wedding night?!
- Aren't we stopping the wedding? - Shut up.
Wait, it's only kohl.
- Oh! - Easy, dude.
If you put this kohl on Sukanya,
she'll come dancing to you like "Chandramukhi".
Really, dude?
You must swab it on her waist.
- Where? - On her waist.
Just a dot on her waist
and she'll come after you. That's the power of my spell.
Touching her waist before marriage...
Oh, no!
Don't be so shy.
- This is your last chance. - Huh?
If you miss this, Sukanya will be someone else's.
That's it!
I wore this kurta just for you
You call him your husband, how cruel
Is he truly more worthy in your view?
My life means nothing to you
You're the cause of all I go through
Was this coldness born with you too?
A sudden twist And a farewell handshake
How could you abandon me Like I was a mistake?
Your father schemed Replaced me like I'd never been
And you stayed silent When he cast me aside, why?
Brothers, I'll strike my heart while you beat the drums!
I brought you many gifts
Gave you countless rides
I was your best guy Always by your side
And in just a minute You turned me to a guest
When you began to call me "baby"
In that sweet, enchanting tone
I quit the drink, the cigarettes too
Yet you fooled me, left me alone
I can't forget, I can't let go
I'm not a player like you, I know
Your picture in my wallet Your name etched on my heart
I treasured it all... like a fool...
Hey, dude, listen to me.
We have this, right? Let's do something.
Let's go!
Dude!
Dab it carefully.
Dude!
- Okay! - Dude!
- Don't get caught. - You go ahead then.
- You do it. - I have no idea what a waist looks like.
You do it.
Here comes the warrior. Oh, it's him? Get lost!
Here comes our warrior Put kohl on her waist, soft and slow
I did it, dude!
Dude, my gosh!
Sukanya looks amazing in that red saree.
So, should we get a new mangal sutra?
- They already have one. - Anything works.
- We've to send him away first. - Yes.
Tell the bridegroom to get up.
- I don't understand. - Dude!
Why are you still sitting?
- Yes? - Dude, Sukanya!
- She is stunning in that red saree. - She's in a green saree.
Green saree!
Green...
Green?!
- Gre-- Green! - Sukku!
Green... Green!
Then who was in the red saree, dude?
Why did you put it on the bride's mother?
Hey!
Why on earth did you make it so big?
She is coming... this way.
She is coming, dude!
Hey!
No, madam! He will be your son-in-law.
It's wrong, it's a sin!
Hey!
Mango pickle!
Our Sukanya is very naive. Take care of her, son.
Is this also adulterated?
Adulterated? It's amazing!
Oh!
Ouch!
Sukanya has gone off To somewhere unknown
It's time to leave this world
- Veera Babu! - Yeah, that's me.
Hey Ashtalakshmi, come join in!
Let's sing something melodic!
I'm Subbalakshmi.
Where are you going? Where's Balu?
How could he leave you like this?
He drank like a madman, got wasted, and dozed off.
So I left him there.
Well, what does it matter after Sukanya left me?
Ugh, will you stop it?
You're acting like she's the only girl that exists.
If not her, you'll find another.
My god, Kanakalakshmi!
When a man truly loves and loses, he can't love anyone else, you know?
The wedding went well.
Who is that gorgeous girl?
Hey, Sujatha!
She looks cute in a half saree.
He might die, but he won't forget her!
Veera Babu! Hear me out.
There'll be someone for you, Veeru.
Someone who won't let you suffer alone,
but stand with you in your pain.
- Can I ask you something? - Yeah.
Am I drunk, or are you?
I'm supposed to be the one getting deep here, not you.
- Sujatha! - Hey!
It's not Sujatha. It's Sukanya.
- Sukanya! - Oh God!
Will your pain bring back a married woman, Veeru?
- She won't come, right? - She won't come!
- Then? - But...
What? Tell me, Veeru.
It's...
Do you want to say something?
It's okay, tell me.
Sukanya's mom won't show up tonight, will she?
I dabbed the kohl on her so romantically.
Oh God! I can't handle this.
I want to go back to America.
I'll take a flight first thing tomorrow!
- Veeru, did the wedding go well? - Why ask, Father?
You've already enjoyed three servings of biryani!
All done, uncle.
Everything's finished.
The biryani? No!
- My father packed some! - Shut up, you idiot!
- Alright. Bye, brother-in-law. - How is he your brother-in-law?
- You sit! - Okay, uncle!
Nagalakshmi, get home safe.
Why are you hopping on, you jerk? Get down!
- That's rude. - Hop on, girl!
- Rude, shmude! Sit! - Okay.
Father, what about me?
You're on a sarcastic roll. Now dash down the road, idiot!
- Veeru, get home safe! - Father, my dhoti is slipping!
- Wait! - Don't go left!
- Go right! - You think I'm clueless?
Lady...
Come tomorrow!
Why isn't this lady moving?
Let's move!
Lady, come tomorrow.
Which way did Mahalakshmi tell me to go?
Ah, right side. Let's go right.
Sukanya is Love Love is right
Right is left Left is love--
Hey!
Hey! Who's that?
FIRST WARNING
Midnight flight with lights on? America?
America!
Hey! Take me to America!
I don't want to stay here.
Hey! How can you go without me? Hey, wait!
Steady.
Don't fall in love... or on the floor.
If a meteor falls, it means there's no time left.
We must decide whom to send as a sacrifice.
Someday you'll need this.
As a descendant of the royal family, this is your responsibility.
Remember...
If the sacrifice isn't made,
the village will turn into a graveyard.
No one must go near the fort.
If they do...
Hey!
Who are you?
You dare stand against me?
You know what I'll do if you stand against me?
I'll just turn around and walk away.
- There's a corpse near the fort! - Hey! Somu's body has been found!
- Near the fort? - Somu is missing, right?
Good morning, homies. What can I do for you?
Oh! It's too bright.
Excuse me, sir.
Why are you half in the sun and half in the shade?
Pick a side. Who's stopping you?
- Hey! You... - Hey, dude.
- Remove these and see. Get up! - Oh!
Oh! Easy boy.
It's mine!
Hi, guys!
Officer, why have you brought the whole village here this early?
I don't see any water pots in their hands. What's going on?
I smell liquor on his breath. He's still hungover from last night.
Come on, get in the jeep.
- Thank you, officer. Drop me home. - I live nearby, drop me too.
- Alright, let's go, dude. - Hey! Are you crazy?
- What happened last night? - My sleep was delayed.
- Why didn't you go home to sleep? - I felt sleepy right here.
- Hey! This is a serious matter. - It's serious. Shh!
Sir, that's Somu's checked shirt.
- That is Somu's checked shirt. - Is that so?
- His wife has been looking for him. - Fine, go return it to him.
- Why are you getting so excited? - Hey! That's evidence!
Don't touch it! It's evidence!
- I didn't touch it. - Don't touch it.
Who touches evidence like that?
Sir! Sir! This was found back there.
Hey! Another evidence.
- We found the murder weapon. Hide it. - Dude!
Thank you, dude. Love you so much.
- You've done a great job. You're amazing! - Thank you.
What exactly did I do?
You took an innocent life.
Come on, get in the jeep.
- I'm sorry? - Why are you apologizing?
Is it wrong to kill a bad guy?
Tell me! Is it right or wrong?
- Right, isn't it? - That's right...
He admitted it. Come on, get in the jeep.
- Get in the jeep! - Hey! I didn't do it!
Wait! I'm not involved in this.
How are you not involved?
You considered my grudges and friendships your own,
came from the US and killed Somu. Thank you, dude!
Hence proved!
There's motive, evidence, and the murder weapon.
- Get in the jeep. - Hey! Wait!
Sir, what's this obsession with the jeep?
I know! He was given a second-hand jeep the other day.
- No one's ridden it yet. - Is all this necessary now?
You get in first. Go on.
Mr. Narasimha Rao.
Do you have an arrest warrant?
- It's K. Narasimha Rao, not Mister. - Yes.
- Not S, it's K. - Hold on, dude!
Do you have an arrest warrant?
We don't use arrest warrants in our village.
That's not my problem.
According to the Indian Penal Code...
Hey! What's this commotion?
Hey, stop.
Hey, Narsi, you've become quite the officer now, huh?
Don't you know the customs here?
Where do we go if something happens here?
We go to Parashuram.
And you say you will take him to the police station?
Let's go the village council.
His punishment is... ten lashes,
and five days of exile from the village.
Sir!
I can't stay outside that long.
My wife can't stay alone without me.
If you want, I'll go away for a couple of days.
I've got some work in a nearby village. I'll go finish it.
Don't worry, man.
Once you spend time with your wife, I'll personally get you onto the bus.
- Okay? - Sir...
I'll thrash you, you idiot!
I'll pull your tongue out!
Hey! Send him out.
- Sir... - Come on!
- Wait! - Get lost! Idiot.
Sir! Veeru has killed Somu.
As proof, we found a piece of Somu's checked shirt on him.
What more evidence do you need, sir?
Forget Somu. That's not important, sir.
He broke our customs and went near the fort.
He didn't, sir.
- Dude... - I'll take care of it.
He caused my grandson to leave and then the tamarind tree burned down!
He's not even married. How can he have a grandson?
- You old geezer! - It's all his fault, sir!
- Yes, it's because of him. - Hey!
What's happening here?
Excuse me, sir, I have no connection to this.
You're blaming me for everything on day one?
Sir, this is absolutely atrocious. I'm not agreeing to this.
Then, how did that piece of shirt get on your shoulder?
I swear to God. I am in no way involved in this.
I don't even know who Somu is!
I didn't do anything, sir.
Why doesn't he know? What doesn't he know?
Please move.
What's happening here?
Where's my Somu? Where is he?
That's my Somu's shirt.
Hey, don't touch that. It's evidence.
That was a gift from my family.
Did you tear it first and then kill him? Or vice versa?
What?!
We've been married for so long,
yet I've never woken up with my husband's shirt.
Who are you to do that?
Sister! I did wake up with your husband's shirt,
- but I didn't kill your husband. - That's a lie.
He came from America with a plan to kill Somu.
This is a serious case. We need to investigate.
- What nonsense! - What investigation?
Is this like Obama and Osama?
Why would he come all the way here and plan this murder?
Who cares if he is dead?
- He's a big-time smuggler. - Hey!
What are you talking about? Who is a smuggler?
Sir! My Somu isn't like that.
I can't live without my Somu.
I request you to give me justice.
He must be punished for breaking our village customs, sir!
- Somu... - Stop that! What is this?
You think I came from the US to listen to this random guy's judgments?
100 lashes.
- Excuse me? - He's telling you to stop this nonsense.
Am I right?
- 200 lashes. - Yeah!
- This is barbarous! - He says we should settle this at a bar.
What do you say? Shall we go?
300 lashes.
This is bullshit!
Bu-- He says it's bullshit!
400 lashes.
Excuse me, sir.
Do you think this is an auction?
We'll sit and discuss, sir.
- I'll come up and-- - Hey!
Yeah, he wants to talk it out.
This is not right, sir.
How could Veeru, who came yesterday,
kill Somu who's been missing for two days?
It's a valid point, Yogalakshmi.
- Answer me. - You can take time to answer.
I don't know any of this, sir!
I want justice.
I can't imagine my life without Somu, sir.
Make him pay me twenty-five thousand.
Twenty five thousand rupees?
- Fine. Whatever! - Not rupees, I want dollars!
What? Are you crazy?
Yeah. He'll pay. He's rich.
"He'll pay." Who told you I will?
What's happening here?
- Greetings, sir. - Sir.
Sir, he went near the fort. That's the reason for this council.
Went to the fort? What's happening?
No one must go near the fort.
If they do...
Something big is about to go down.
Sir... You seem like an elderly man.
There's been a huge misunderstanding.
It's better if the village doesn't talk about matters that don't concern them.
Deliver judgment.
Take his passport.
- Why would I give you my passport? - 500 lashes!
Dude, hand over the passport. It's in the first zipper of the bag.
No one in the village shall offer any help to him or his family.
Non-cooperation?!
Mr. Parashuram told me not to wash your clothes.
You wash it, idiot.
Fetch water.
Hey! Can I get some vegetables, please?
Need some tomatoes.
- What's that? - Can you give some tomatoes, sister?
You murdered Somu. Remember the judgment. Now go.
What about me, sir?
Until Somu is found,
Veeru must pay Savithri 250 rupees per day.
- Sir. - In addition,
30 lashes.
Finish the kolam quickly. There is a lot of work.
You came all the way from America for this?
Even to talk to you, we have to draw kolam on the street.
When will you get your passport?
Veera Babu, give me the 250 you owe me so I can leave.
- Ms. Savithri, are you drunk? - Give it!
- So early in the morning? - I'm drunk?
Wasn't killing my husband enough? You're calling me a drunkard?
How dare you draw kolam without giving me my 250?
I'll report this to Parashuram.
- Savithri-- - Get lost!
Oh, no!
Your passport will remain with us until the case is resolved. Leave!
Nobody is willing to lend us groceries.
I will have ragi malt.
Look what you've brought upon this house. Why couldn't you just mind your business?
Hey!
- Give me my 250. - It's the middle of the night!
- This is wrong, Ms. Savithri. - Is it worse than what you did?
Just give me 250.
- The shops will close. - I have 300. Change...
I'll come daily at this hour.
Keep 250 ready.
The price of liquor is going up.
Trouble started from the moment he returned.
But make sure no one goes near the fort.
Subbu, what is the urgency?
I heard Grandpa Gangayya was the last one to see Somu.
- Is it? - Yes.
Grandpa.
Somu was with someone before he died. Who was that?
- I'll tell you. - Yes.
Why is he asking about a sword fight? I don't know that.
- Is he deaf? - No, he's a drunkard.
Here you go.
Who was with Somu that day, Grandpa?
I know who it was. I remember!
- The night you came... - Yes, Grandpa.
- ...in that third house from here... - Okay.
...Pankajam and I had a great time.
Where's Somu in this?
- The one with the checked shirt, right? - Yes, Grandpa.
I saw him around the third pillar.
Where did he go, Grandpa?
Why isn't the lamp on the third post working?
Will that Parashuram ever work?
Why aren't you talking, dude?
What can I say?
What's Parashuram doing?
Aren't we casting our votes?
You old man! I'll hit you so hard, the liquor will spill out of your liver!
- Cool, cool. - You fool!
- Place it. - You must do it.
Everything will be okay after this.
- What's that, dude? - Whatever. Ignore that and continue.
By God's grace, if Somu's case is solved, you can leave the village.
- Hey, you can't even do this properly! - Dude, it's flipped.
SECOND WARNING
Overnight, the animals were reduced to bare bones.
Hi, Veeru!
Come Gajalakshmi, please sit.
It's Subbalakshmi.
Whatever Lakshmi. Is that the issue now?
I can't figure out where my life is heading.
Since I came to this village,
I lost the girl I loved, then I lost my passport.
- Added to that... - Hey, Veeru!
You've killed my Somu.
How can you even digest your food?
How are you even able to sleep, idiot?
This is an added bonus!
Don't laugh, I'm hurting here.
Anyway. I'm having a rough time.
Alright, give me your hand. Let me read your palm.
I lost faith in these things since Sukanya's mom didn't show up.
Veeru, just give me your hand.
Your love line is very long.
Longer the line, the bigger the heartbreak?
Sorry! Please continue.
- Veeru. - Yeah?
All your problems will soon be gone.
Even Somu's case will be solved.
I'm not worried about the case.
First, I must forget Sukanya.
I'll forget her.
Actually, Veeru...
- Do you know something? - What's that?
Up until 9th grade, I sat in the bench behind you.
Really?
I quit school after I failed.
Sukanya took my seat after that.
So, in 9th grade...
you couldn't even score 35 marks?
Oh! Don't worry. It's alright.
What did I gain after studying well?
I went to America, yet I ended up back in this village.
Why do you feel dejected, Veeru?
I mean, we're all here for you.
Grandma, Balu...
I'm here too.
Again and again My heart longs only for you
Wouldn't a dream become real...
You are right, Subbalakshmi.
You are my one and only wish
There is no other world for me Every moment, you are my story
Slowly, the path Turns itself toward you
Will it lead me straight to you?
Again and again Wishing to stay beside you
Shall I give you my heart And spell out my desire?
Even with my eyes closed I see only you
Shall I look for myself in your eyes?
An overflowing love Too much to conceal
May I wish that you shower it upon me?
Like a line drawn on my palm I have made you my own
Before even the wind can touch you Shall I keep you safe within me?
Little, gentle smiles begin to rain My lips whisper only your name!
With every step, I follow you This little heart refuses to stay calm!
Little, gentle smiles begin to rain My lips whisper only your name!
I walk every step behind you Even if you say no, my heart won't rest...
- He went this way! - Where is he?
They even made the kolam, dude.
- Hey! Hi, Subbu. - Hi.
What's that color on your hand, Subbu?
- Why aren't you getting this? - I mean... Oh, you do kolam too?
Can such feelings Ever be expressed in words?
Or do they speak Softly through silence?
All the sweetness Of that old friendship
Has it now turned into today's love?
Again and again My heart longs only for you
Wouldn't a dream become real If it leads me to you?
You are my one and only wish
There is no other world for me Every moment, you are my story
- Take off the mask. You'll suffocate. - Dude, tell me.
All of Parashuram's punishments will end today.
I'll make delicious vadas for you tomorrow.
Dude. Thank you!
Also see if you can find my passport, man.
By the way, did you observe Subbu lately?
She's acting differently.
Dude, you noticed it? I did too.
- Then I'm sure. - What?
- She's trying witchcraft on me. - Witchcraft?!
- Is that what you observed? - Then what else?
Every day she stays with me until I go home at night.
Early morning, she collects my laundry.
She brings milk every day. She helps with curd as well.
Also, she is decorating your home every day.
Is this witchcraft?
You...
Have you lost your mind after coming here?
Dude...
Subbu is in love with you.
I mean, can I fall in love again?
In theory, I'm still depressed, right?
And I just went through a breakup.
Do you think society will accept me if I fall in love again?
Is this for real, or are you thinking she's short?
Hey, nothing like that.
- She's short but cute. - So deep down, you like her too.
Hey, Veeru...
From now onwards, your problems are gone.
Subbu is yours too.
Cool.
Things will be better from tomorrow.
Good night.
THIRD WARNING
This is the final warning. The clock is ticking.
What's happening, sir?
This is the curse of our village.
A deadly disease ravaged the village ages ago.
With no way out, the king awakened a dark power.
A demonic power.
The King pleaded to save his people.
In return, every time a warning was issued,
every household must offer an animal sacrifice.
But one house must offer a human sacrifice.
He offered a pact to that effect.
And the King accepted it.
The village recovered.
For generations,
whenever the warning is issued, the whole village will be sealed in.
No one can step out.
If the sacrifice is offered after a feast, he'll stay inside.
If not,
he will break free and destroy the village.
A sacrifice is the only solution.
It's the curse of our village.
If we want to survive, we must send a sacrifice.
- Ask them why we should offer one. - A human sacrifice?
You expect a human sacrifice now?
- Who will they choose? - Why should we go?
We don't want to go. We won't go!
- Why do we have to go? - We won't go!
Hey!
Why do I hear dissent?
A name will be drawn, whether you like it or not.
The sacrifice must happen.
Everyone, get over here!
Let's go see what's happening. Come on.
- What's with the human sacrifice? - Exactly, my thoughts.
These...
He's gone. Parashuram is our hero!
Hey, come here.
What's your problem? Can't I lie here and dream about my girl?
What's going on?
- You know what happened by the fort? - Hey, wait.
Our hero Parashuram went into the fort.
- Where did he go? - He went toward the fort.
- Headed toward the fort? - Yes.
Why did he go to the fort?
Why are you people afraid? Come on, move.
- Come on, sir. - Why are you rushing?
Hold on!
- Parashuram! - This numbskull...
- What is it? - Why are you here?
- Why did you even come here? - Why did you come here?
- What do you want? - Justice, dude, justice!
Hey! When I stumbled in here drunk, you gave me thirty lashes.
But when Parashuram said let's go play, you all followed him?
I won't accept this. Everyone must be punished.
Ten for you, ten for you, and ten for the one behind.
- Sorry, dude, ten for you. - Why me?
Protocol Parashuram should get thirty!
It's one rule for Veeru and another for the village? I won't accept it.
What are you going on about?
Justice delayed is justice denied, dude.
Sir, he was just passing the other way, wandered here by mistake.
- That's not what I meant. - He's apologizing.
I didn't sa...
- We'll deal with him later. Not now. - Why would I apologize?
They put me through hell.
Who asked you to come here? Listen to me.
- Come with me. - No. I want justice!
Hey, what's happening? What's in there?
That'll reveal who goes in as the next sacrifice.
- Sacrifice? - Yes.
We've set up the sacred Fair pillar.
The one in the fort is a ruthless demon.
Five hundred years ago, he heinously devoured an infant.
The village will stay sealed inside a magic zone until the sacrifice is made.
No one can get out even if we want to.
- I'll deal with Parashuram myself. - Hold on, all of you.
Have you lost your minds?
The whole village is locked down.
We can't leave until a name is drawn.
Whose name will it be? I'm scared.
- Dude, what's their problem? - A human sacrifice? I won't go.
Put both their names at the top of the list.
- Okay. - Where are you going?
I've been watching this fellow since the day I got here.
- Even superstition has its limits. - They'll skin us alive. Stop.
What's happening there?
- Nothing, sir. We're just chatting. - Go!
Can't we do anything? Do we have to send someone?
This must be done. There's no other way.
Get back to work.
Someone unmarried with no family responsibilities would be ideal.
- Begin. - Hey, shut the windows.
- Please let us see it. - Hey, step aside.
Open it.
It includes all the surnames. Please review them in order.
It says we must divide the village into four parts.
We must not choose the sacrifice from the same part of the village as last time.
We must pick someone from the other three.
Anyone can volunteer and snuff out the lamp.
But who would do that?
Rather than letting them fight over who should go,
let's choose someone ourselves.
After careful consideration,
a name has been chosen.
That name is...
- Hey, I heard they've drawn a name. - What's your name?
- Gundu Ramudu! - Hey, they picked your name. Go, go!
- He'll be killed. They'll take him away. - Dude, dude.
- Hey, you're here. - Where are you going?
- Did they pick a name? Who is it? - The name...
- I mean... - Did they draw my name?
- I know, dude. - No...
Ever since I got here, this village wants to kill and bury me.
- It isn't you. Ganga... - Gangaram?
- Ga... - Aunt Gangamma?
- No! Grandpa Gangayya. - Then?
- Our Grandpa Gangayya? - Yes.
- The one in love with Pankajam? - Yes.
Hey, the poor man is 80 years old.
He'll die on the way to the fort, man. Oh, God!
The whole village is shutting him up and sending him to his death?
- I will-- - Hey, hey.
Even if you speak to them, the Fair won't stop.
What if we hide him? The Fair will stop, right?
Hey, this is the village's decision. Don't do it, man.
- Hey... Hey! Hey! - My foot!
- Grandpa. - Hey!
Grandpa, get up.
- Grandpa! Get up, get up! - Did you get the booze?
- Look at him. He'll never change. - Wait.
- Come on, Grandpa. - Why are you carrying me now?
If we don't carry you now, they'll kill you.
The whole village is gathering to take you out on a procession.
Why do I need a wedding now?
Not a wedding, it's a sacrifice procession!
- Why can't we just leave him to his fate? - It's Grandpa's life.
- I mean... my passport... - Then why all the drama?
Lift him up! Please!
I'll buy you a whole bottle. Will you come with us?
- Come on. Get up, get up. - Let's go!
Where is he?
They're getting me booze.
Maybe they're marrying me off to Pankajam.
What will you do if Pankajam comes in front of you?
- What will I do? I'll open my arms-- - Lift him up, dude.
- Hail Pankajam! - Hey, hey!
Enough lifting. Let him down.
Hey, bring him along.
The lamp must remain lit until the Fair is over.
The one chosen as the sacrifice must snuff out the lamp before he leaves.
- What is this? - Veeru!
They're taking Grandpa Gangayya for the sacrifice?
You figured it out pretty fast.
This is unfair, man.
But we have no choice.
This was bound to happen, right? What can we do?
Yeah, right. Did you even try? You gave up without a fight.
Your father is old-fashioned.
He won't consider another way. What's your excuse?
- Veeru, it's-- - Subbu, leave me alone for five minutes?
- Come, dude. - Hey.
No one should know there's another way out.
The sacrifice
A demon born of spirits and curses
Is burning with hunger For this offering
Why is he smiling?
A demon of ghostly torment Now rages, demanding this sacrifice
If it's hollow belly claws with hunger
Won't an entire village Become its prey?
A custom from our forefathers' time We cannot escape it... this fate is ours
Through ages and ages of history How many such tales survive?
How many horrors that made people Tremble in fear?
The demon whose head Sprouts anew each time it is struck
Know you not the ash-touch fiend Whose touch reduces all to dust?
Didn't the sleeping giant Who crushed mountains rise once?
And the ogre who devoured oxen whole?
Open the door!
Hi!
How are you? It's my wedding.
Leave it, dude. He's leaving with a smile.
Where are we going?
Grandpa is my best friend. I just want to say goodbye.
Give me that. He's our Grandpa.
Grandpa, get up. Come on, let's dance!
Dance, Grandpa! Dance.
Grandpa, grab your dhoti. Let's get out of here.
You want me to lean down?
- Why is he bending down? - Hey, Parashuram is here!
- Dude, lift him up. My passport! - You sit down, old man.
- Lift him up. - They're coming!
Hey, move aside.
Why are you scared? Lift him up! They're coming.
Get up, Grandpa. Come on, let's dance!
Can't you understand? I'll hit you. Lift him up!
I'm drunk, guys.
Grandpa... Grandpa? Grandpa!
- Hey, Eera Babu killed Grandpa. - Grandpa! Grandpa is dead.
- Grandpa's dead. Grandpa! - He's dead.
Did you kill him while he sat, or kill him and then sit him down?
- He killed Grandpa. - Grandpa.
He killed my husband.
He died before he could put out the lamp.
It's quite unfortunate.
Anyways, we enjoyed a lot, sir.
Big event! We will try next year, yeah?
- Good night, everybody. Let's go home. - Okay.
How can you say "good night" after killing the old man?
- Who's that? Who killed him? - It's you.
Eera Babu made a mistake by killing the old man!
"Made a mistake," he says.
What are you all here for? To make dal?
You all came here to kill him too, right?
You want to discuss logic now?
I knew beforehand that something like this would happen.
That's why we kept another name ready.
- Hey. - Sir.
- Come on. Let's go. - Hey, wait.
Kanne Pongula Balaraju.
Fantastic name!
I think I've heard that name before.
We picked up the right name.
Come on, put out the lamp.
- I'm going to die! Do something! - Wait.
- Dude, please do something! - Hey!
Come on, snuff out the lamp!
You are making it sound ridiculously easy, sir.
- Will they do as you say? I mean, really? - Hey. What are you rambling about?
- Go snuff it out. - Dude.
He won't snuff it out! He won't! He won't!
He can't snuff it out. It'll burn his hand.
- It's too hot to touch. - Hey.
You think this is funny?
- You don't know my history. - Why? Do you delete it?
- You... - Hit him more!
- Hey, put out the lamp. - Why put out the lamp?
Why should he put it out? Why should he go inside?
I've been watching since I got here.
You keep saying, "Someone's inside. He called us in.
So we put out the lamp and march right in."
If someone's listening, they shove their superstitions on us.
- Dude. - My dude is not going anywhere.
I won't let him go. I won't let this happen.
Mr. Chari.
This is the hour of the demon's arrival.
We shouldn't delay. You should do something.
Veera Babu, move aside.
The one inside is awaiting his sacrifice.
If it's delayed, he'll destroy the village.
Wow! Super, man!
He boosts you, you boost him.
Then all of you together boost that guy.
Nice.
Brother.
We'll beat this guy up and throw the other one inside.
When your story doesn't sound true, you fall back on beating, sir.
This isn't some made-up tale. It's our village custom.
This is the truth.
This is the truth written by our ancestors.
You read what some stranger wrote, and we should believe you?
He should snuff the lamp and go inside?
Hey.
Why should we convince you and this whole village?
- Think you're a big shot, huh? - Hey...
Fine, sir. No need to convince the village.
Just convince me.
If you've got the guts, prove to me that someone's inside.
Not him or anyone else, I'll go in.
Where's the lamp?
Hey, Veeru!
Dude...
Why'd you put out the lamp?
It's alright. There's nothing there.
What the--
Help.
These words are true. This story is true.
Veera Babu must be the sacrifice, since he put out the lamp.
Anybody there?
Open the door.
Hey, what are you doing here? What happened?
Did they send in Grandpa Gangayya?
No, since Grandpa died, they picked someone else for the sacrifice.
What? Who?
The guy who came from America.
- Veeru? - Yes, Eera babu.
This blood will summon the demon.
Here.
Now you're ready for the sacrifice.
- Come! Let's go! - Sir, sir!
Son, I asked you not to interfere.
But you ruined everything while I went to make the offering.
Grandma, keep quiet for a moment.
Sir! I just blurted it out in the heat of the moment.
For that, you're forcing me inside? We're on the same side, sir.
Tell this nonsense to whoever's inside. It'll be good entertainment.
- Come! - Sir, what's this?
Is it written in the Constitution that if you say “go,” I must just go?
- I won't go. - Will they spare you if you say no?
They'll break your limbs and force you in.
Ugh, Grandma! Are you crying or cooking up ideas?
Shut up!
- Did I say that? - Yes, you did!
Sir, I won't go at any cost.
Okay. Send in your grandma instead!
- Come! - Hey! Move it!
- You think this is China's great wall? - Come!
Wait! Hey! Dude!
Dad!
- Veeru was sent as the sacrifice? - Yeah!
- Where to?! Come with me! Let's go! - Dad! Please, listen to me.
- Give me a minute! - Come!
- Please! - Enough talking, come on!
Veeru! Veeru!
Sir, please let him go.
Where are you going?
Hey, dude. No!
Dude!
It's just starting. The real stuff is in there! Go!
Dude! Dude! Veera Babu!
Nothing... There's nothing in here!
Which way should I go?
Oh, God!
It's just my shoe lace.
Veeru, you meddled in everything and dragged yourself into this mess.
Did you learn your lesson?
Did something just pass by?
If he got hit there, he'd have died of shame.
Sorry, bro.
Gosh! I don't want to die like this!
I don't want to die--
It's nothing.
Spiderman!
Damn it!
Hey...
Hey, damn it! Put some ball bearings in it!
Hey, hey, hey!
You damn psychos!
You're planting spears like Ashoka planted trees!
Will it never stop?
Is this how you treat your guest?!
If you act like this, I'm going home.
But how do I get out of here?
Nothing's coming at me, right?
Nothing.
Back to the ball.
Slowly. Smooth.
He's arrived.
Sir! Mr. Demon!
Don't attack me suddenly.
I'm Veeru, America-returned, sir.
Actually, I'm the wrong person at the right address.
I have no ties to this village, sir.
Ever since childhood, it's just been Balu and I.
He's my best friend, sir.
Even now, that poor guy must be outside, crying for me.
If you allow me ten minutes,
I'll fetch him for you in a flash, sir!
Do whatever you want with him, sir.
Sir, is this clear?
Let's go with this, okay?
I'm heading out then.
Hail Lord Hanuman...
Why can't I recall the prayer?
It's nothing, you're okay.
Bro, don't you have jangiri with you?
Hey!
What's with the scream?
Don't move.
I simply asked for jangiri. Why are you screaming?
Jangiri?
So...
Are you not the one who eats me?
- Are you jangiri? No? - No!
- Aren't you a demon? - No! It's not me!
- So, who are you? - I am an officer.
- In which office? - Our office.
Sarcasm!
Who are you? What are you doing here, bro?
I'm a businessman. I came to India to do imports and exports.
I studied in London, bro.
- Oh! London, is it? - London, it is!
I moved from place to place in London.
I have no connections to this village.
I exported Indian sandalwood abroad under tight security, bro.
- It's sandalwood! Great fragrance! - Somu's checked shirt...
That's Somu's checked shirt!
It's my Somu's shirt.
My company is a recognized brand. Why is it not moving! It's a brand!
Then Bhagavath, the cop, showed up.
- His-- - You handled everything perfectly.
But this checkered shirt got you caught, Somu!
How do you know? Are you from the bank?
Hey, Somu! You keep roaming around here,
and your wife thinks she can take my 250, get drunk at night, and mess with me?
- Did you mess with her? She's my wife. - Ugh! What are you on about?
Come on, tell me! What's your plan? What's your wife's plan?
What kind of Game of Thrones is this?
- Tell me, man! - Wait, I'll tell you!
I'm a smuggler, bro!
So you're the local "Pushpa Raj", huh?
I'm from Raakavaram.
When I was born,
- right in the middle of green crops... - Hey!
I don't have the patience to wander the whole village.
- Tell me why you came here! - I... I'll explain. Don't come any closer.
It was all Savithri's idea.
That night...
That dark night...
- Hurry up! Walk faster! - Where are you taking me?
- Tell me where you're taking me! - Come, I'll tell you!
- Oh, God! - What happened? Come on!
- Come on, don't worry. - What do you mean?
- Hurry up! - This shirt cost me 150 rupees!
Go in.
- Why did you bring me here? - Step in.
Are you insane? What if the villagers find out?
Filthy village! What can they possibly do?
There's treasure inside.
So they're trying to scare us away with stories of a demon.
Whatever you find inside,
pack everything in this bag!
Pack what? I won't go.
- Go! - I'll die if I enter through here.
Don't I know that? Look!
I found this while working at Ramanatha's house.
You can't pass through this gate.
There's another way in.
If you know all the gates, why can't you come with me?
You think this is a ceremony for us to go in together?
- Go! - I won't go!
- Will you go or not? - I won't!
The day before yesterday, at 10 p.m.,
while my mom and I were watching a TV show,
you asked if I'd finished cooking. What did I do then?
- You hit me with a slipper. - Look down!
- You're wearing the same slippers? - Yes!
- Why? - I'll wear them out!
- Step inside. Come! - I won't!
You coward! You're scared of everything!
I came in through the other way.
I heard some strange noises.
When I tried to head back out, I realized that,
once you're in, there's no way out.
Days passed, and I didn't find a way out.
So, we can't go back home?
Escaping this place isn't that simple. I've been trying for the past ten days.
It's dark and dusty everywhere I go.
Why are you lifting your hand, bro?
Why are you pointing over there?
Did he come?
Oh, God!
Mr. Demon, don't attack suddenly!
Since my childhood, I've only had one friend.
My best friend Balu is crying for me outside!
If you allow me ten minutes,
- I'll fetch him for you-- - Who are you talking to?
Why did you freeze?
I've spent ten days alone, right?
So I freeze, fixed like the pillars.
You're so tall, and you got scared?
Wait, is there nothing else we can do?
It is very tough, brother.
Such a huge fort, yet no way out.
But there's a small ray of hope.
I saw a hole under this rock, brother.
I think there's a way through it.
You showed up just as I was about to move the rock.
So we move this rock, right?
- Let's do it. - Hey.
Heck!
Ready, brother? Push!
I was born ready!
Did it move, brother?
Oh, God!
It feels like I'll end up with hernia.
This isn't a rock, it's a mountain!
Brother, are you even pushing?
- No, I'm just grazing cattle here! - Do that later. Push this now!
I'm doing everything alone!
Three...
Master...
According to physics,
us pushing from opposite sides won't move this object.
Wow! The moment I saw how tall you are,
I knew you were intelligent!
I only studied social studies.
- Switch sides with me. - Okay.
If I had studied science, I'd have been a better smuggler.
You’re gonna kiss me?
Let's push it from the same side. Please. I want to go home.
Are you ready?
One... Two... Three...
How will it move if we both push from this side?
- Is it moving? - My guts are moving...
- No, the rock. - Oh, the rock?
Push the rock, brother.
A crowbar would've helped.
Oh, God...
Corona... Corona... We'll catch Corona.
We'll catch Corona!
Come on, push.
If it comes again, I'll blow it up into the air!
I won't back down.
I didn't know I was so powerful.
I told you, right?
- Why did you leave me there? - I didn't know you'd follow me.
It's all your fault!
I've been here for ten days. No one showed up.
You came, and your smell brought him here.
Don't touch me... disgusting!
- Why did you come into my life? - Don't say that, brother.
I was safe before.
I'll get caught if I'm near him.
I better run.
Oh, no!
Oh, God!
I got caught! I got caught! Oh, God!
I got caught! He'll eat me!
- Oh, God! - Brother!
Sai Ram, Sai Ram, Sai Ram!
Run!
Sai Ram! Sai Ram...
This way!
Sai Ram!
Oh, no!
What happened?
Hey, come on! There's a path over there!
I feel something soft here. Oh God!
Why is it so dark, brother?
Hey. Hey... Hey...
Dad, please listen to me.
Please open the door.
- You already know I love Veeru. - What do you mean?
Please, Dad, at least look at this. Just take a look! Please!
Are you crazy? Are you planning to die for his sake?
I don't need to see anything. Sit quietly.
If you pull any stupid stunts, I'll break your limbs and dump you in the well.
- Please open the door, Dad. - That's it.
That idiot must be dead in the fort by now.
Please, Dad!
Skulls! Skulls! Skulls, brother.
Why are you scared, brother? I just don't understand.
He's already dead and dried up!
Why aren't you scared, brother?
I can't scream every time like we're riding a Ferris wheel.
I'm still not used to this. Let's leave this place, brother.
You're talking like it's just a casual smoke break.
- I wonder where it is. - Ouch!
Brother! Look here.
Something's written here.
- Looks important, I'll read it out. - Go on.
V.... V... Ve...
L... L... Lu...
Ve... lu...?
- The mighty Godavari - Has surged forth
And sprawled out, vast and wide!
- Is that what is written here? - Yeah!
He wrote it but died before he could sing it.
- Oh! - Are you from Chari school?
That's why your Telugu is messed up. Ugh!
"The only way out... is the demon's death."
Looks like it is useful. Let's go through it.
The only way out is the demon's death.
I'm writing this to save my kingdom.
Breaching the fort and killing the demon
is beyond anyone's capacity.
But one day...
This can't be done with force.
It needs strategy.
Every demon has a weakness.
He has one too, my Lord.
To kill the demon...
Before the sun rises,
you must pierce his back with these consecrated daggers.
For this purpose,
the sorcerer gave us an enchanted powder to weaken him.
The enchanted powder leaves him weak for a few hours.
While the King waited for the right moment,
I noticed something unimaginable.
My Lord!
I found a second entrance to the fort.
This is the right time to strike.
The demon is in an illusory form.
Learning that, the King infiltrated the fortress with his army.
A fierce battle took place.
The demon killed everyone.
But the enchanted powder
weakened the demon.
Seizing the moment, the King...
That's when I saw the demon in his fiercest form.
I managed to escape for the time being,
but the second dagger was left in the chamber.
The only way out is to stab his back with it.
But the chamber entrance closed itself.
To open it,
you must pull the levers on both sides of the chamber.
But I couldn't open it since I was alone.
I wrote the chamber's location
in the fort's map and hid it safely in my pendant.
So effortlessly written just before he died!
Kill the demon by stabbing him with an enchanted dagger!
Would any sensible person believe what he said--
Master... What are you up to?
I'll open this and use the map inside the pendant to slay the demon.
Have you lost your mind? How can you kill him?
He looks like a cross between King Kong and Godzilla!
Just five minutes ago, we came here to hide and escape certain death.
- Slay him, huh? - Alright, tell me what we should do.
I'll wear this. You tell me what to do.
- Go on. - I mean...
Let's stay here a couple of days and search for another exit.
I've been stuck here for ten days!
Did you hear that?
Are you happy now?
I've been telling you.
If we stay here, we'll end up like him with our skulls broken!
Listen to me, we don't have any other option. I swear!
- This is the only way. - You mean...
- We should open it? - How?
Should we try using his fingerprint?
- Drop it! - Let's go out.
Where exactly, brother?
- If we go further, we'll reach Golconda. - Careful!
- Dad! - Ananda!
- Yes, Father! - Look, she may try to escape.
- Don't open door. Stay here. - Okay.
Dad, you know there's another way in.
Dad! Please open the door! Please!
- Why did you lock the door, idiot? - Ananda.
Hey, Ananda! You idiot! Ananda!
- You idiot! Open the door! - Go, Sister.
- Ananda... open the door! - Take care of him.
- I will. - Ananda!
Subbu!
What are you doing here?
I don't have the guts to move ahead.
My heart isn't allowing me to go back.
- What should we do now? - Alright, look here.
There's another path from here.
We can save Veeru.
- Is it? Let's go. - Come on.
Why does a second path even exist?
My back's completely given out, brother.
There's no more energy left.
It's scary, isn't it?
To find that dagger,
we must open this pendant and slay that demon.
For that, we must first-- Hey!
- Don't bite it. - My teeth are strong, brother!
You shouldn't open it carelessly.
- This must be opened cleverly. - Go on.
Open it.
Oh, the Seven Stones game? Hit it.
- Hey, what are you doing? - Don't stop me!
No! My gosh!
Grab a bigger rock and smash him with that.
- Did it work? - No.
This won't work. We're better off getting eaten.
- We'll tell him to swallow us. - Calm down!
Can we find the dagger only after opening this pendant?
Let's find it! Come along.
Here you go again! Come on!
Hurry up, brother. No idea where he'll come from.
You're dragging me through every alley. Do you even have any clarity?
Do you think this is a home tour?
"This is my mother-in-law's kitchen."
"And this is my father-in-law's underwear!"
Why are you speaking senselessly?
See how irritable he is, Ketika?
At the end of the day, we only have each other!
Hey! Why are you kicking Ketika? Did it hurt?
Have you gone mad?
- Brother, who's Ketika? - She's my girlfriend.
- Girlfriend? - Yeah.
I was alone for ten days. It was driving me insane!
Suddenly, like a goddess, she appeared out of nowhere.
A precious beauty!
- A bundle of blessings! - Why isn't she visible to me?
Give it two days, you'll see her as well.
Two days?!
Feeling lonely already?
Should I ask Ketika to be with you for a while?
Hey! No! I'm not interested!
- Did she come? - No, she's right here.
- Ketika, say hello! - Don't.
- I have my Subbu. - Oh, Subbu?
- Yeah. - Love story, huh?
See that, Ketika? Just like our love story--
Brother, promise me you won't turn back! Come!
Ketika, grab my hand!
Subbu! Subbu!
- So it's love, huh? You little sneak. - Well... Yeah.
Subbu? The one who ran off with Raju during last year's big ceremony?
Hey, not that Subbu.
- Subbalakshmi, the occult specialist. - The occult?
You mean the short girl. Chari's daughter!
- Yeah! - Oh, look at you. Pretty sharp.
So, it's an epic love story.
- It's not a love story. - Then, I'm not interested.
She loves me, so I love her.
At least I think so.
She hasn't said she loves me yet, so I haven't either.
But she acts like she loves me.
So I figured I might as well love her.
So I think her love plus my love equals love.
But... No!
My heart says she loves me.
- Yeah! - You know you're talking nonsense?
- But my heart is telling me so. - Oh, God!
- Shall I tell you something shocking? - Yes, please!
Does love ever work out for those who follow their heart?
Are you saying she doesn't love me?
One dialogue discouraged you?
The Subbu who ran off with Raju is better.
Hey, no. You're confusing me.
So, I love her.
- Because she loves me. - Oh, God! I can't take this.
But she hasn't said--
- You heard that, right? - It's nothing. Relax.
Nothing will happen.
Why is that spider so big?
Hey! Hey!
Veeru!
Subbu! Subbu's here!
- Subbu! - Veeru!
- Subbu! - You...
Why did you come here? Don't tell me... For me?
Why, Subbu?
Veeru, how could I not come if you were in trouble?
Did you hear what she just said?
You blurted out some shocking words.
Oh God, I need to say something memorable right now.
What should I say?!
Subbu!
Do you know what a great poet once said about love?
"Take the first step. Meet the mountain with courage.
Break it asunder. Go on, Narasimha!"
- You didn't get it? - He's talking nonsense again.
I love you, Subbu!
Brother, you can sing duets and talk all you want if we get out alive.
Hey, don't interrupt. Bloody unromantic fellow!
Go bother someone else.
Sukanya left me recently.
I know society won't accept me marrying so soon, but I don't care.
I just want you to accept me.
I love you, Subbu!
I love you too, Veeru!
Oh, my God! Subbu says she loves me.
Veeru, there's a way out.
I know the way to your heart.
- The same old thing again. - But...
Let's escape this and get married, Veeru.
Did you hear what my darling said? She said she'd marry me!
Subbu, please say it again. Let it echo through this fort.
- Dude! - Hey!
Why did the voice change?
- How are you even alive? - Dude, you're here too?
Perfect timing, dude. Subbu just said she'd marry me!
Subbu, you're here--
Hey!
Somu brother!
Where are you going?
Why should I be a third wheel between you two?
You two carry on and start a family.
Ma'am, I told you to begin with one step.
If you let go of my hand,
I'll step down the fort stairs and leave this building.
Dude! Help me! Come, brother, come help me!
- She has grabbed my hand! - You go on.
- I haven't eaten for ten days. I'm weak. - Come on, man!
Pull me, dude. Save me!
Hey! Ugh! Let go!
- Leave him. - She's twisting my arm.
Pull me back, brother! What are you all doing?
Come, let's go!
I dropped... my bag.
Oh, God!
Dude!
Why is it so horrific?
- Stay quiet! - It's a ghost!
You know spirits of the dead? That's exactly what it is.
A ghost?
It takes the form of our loved ones and lure us to our doom.
Oh, is it?
That rope is enchanted. It can't cross it and come after us.
You saved us.
Why did it come in my form?
So you didn't hear anything I said?
- What did you say? - He was talking nonsense.
- Oh, no, brother! - Subbu!
Subbu, do you know what a great poet once said about love?
"Take the first step.
Meet the mountain with courage."
- Hey! - What?
Wait, dude.
Worthless fellow!
All this is your fault!
Every day, I worried about Parashuram's verdict.
I walked until my slippers wore out.
Not knowing what to do,
I'd get drunk on cheap liquor.
The whole village treated me badly!
How could you possibly know that suffering and pain?
Relax, dude. Forget about it.
Anyway, I'm used to these struggles.
- I'm used to it. - Dude, it's not about you.
- Then? - It's about my Savithri.
"My Savithri?"
- Yes, it's my Savithri. - That shows his character!
How is she yours? I loved her and married her.
You're just a flashback character who dies.
I loved her, but you tricked her into marrying you.
- Excuse me, guys! - You, stop. Tell me.
Are you both talking about the same Savithri?
- Yes! - Yes!
- Vanitharathnam Savithri? - Yes!
Before marriage, she was as slim as a mermaid.
How can she be your Savithri?
- Call her sister. - Hey, don't yell.
The ghost will find us if you do.
First, let's figure out how to get out of here. Come!
Slowly.
Everything is written in this ancient scripture.
Look here. There's another exit.
- Oh! - I'll tell you what I read in this.
But please don't be scared.
We must... kill the demon!
Kill?!
- There are two enchanted daggers. - We know!
They've already used one dagger. We must stab him with the other one.
- She's repeating what we know. - Wait.
We must stab him before sunrise.
Hey! You stop!
I came because I care about my friend! Why would I ever come to stab the demon?
- You should've told me this before! - What else can we do?
- You wait, woman! - Dude! Please, calm down.
Go ahead, Subbu.
- You are referring to two desserts! - Desserts?!
Veeru, not desserts, daggers!
My bad, I thought they were desserts, because she's so sweet!
Alright, but where do we find those daggers in this huge fort?
Show her the locket!
- I couldn't open it-- - Just show it!
Even a genius like me couldn't figure it out.
- What can you do? - Stop it!
The map with the location of the daggers is in here.
We couldn't open it.
I even tried biting it!
It opens only with certain symbols.
- Will you bite it? - Shut up, please!
We must align the symbols in the right order
or it won't open.
- Let me see. - Yeah, I see sun and moon symbols.
Since it's an eclipse today, try that sequence.
Eclipse, right? Let me try.
Subbu, did you hear that sound?
Wow!
Hey!
This is the map the soldier mentioned.
Let's compare it with my map to see where we are.
We're here, and the room with the dagger is here.
So, we need to go here.
Why hasn't he attacked again?
- Should I go call him? - No, let's just go.
Why is this door shut?
The dagger was left behind in that room.
Stabbing his back with it is the only way out.
He wrote that we should go towards the lever symbol.
- The lever symbol points this way. - Is it?
Hey! No!
If it's that easy, he would've pulled it himself.
Hold on, we've missed something.
You have no idea. Give it to me.
Hey!
Are you out of your mind?
You want to kill us before we escape?
- Have some patience. - How much patience?
Subbu!
Look here.
- Another lever symbol. - That's why I pulled it!
- Hey! - I did it on purpose--
Why are there two symbols? If he knew where they were,
he could've easily gone from one to the other.
No! What else had he written there, bro?
- I forgot. Shall I go take a look? - No.
Keep calm and think.
- Where was I? - Dude...
You began at this point and stopped here.
- Here? - Yes.
When I was alone here, I was confident that I'd survive.
That hope died the moment you showed up.
The soldier wrote that
he couldn't open the dagger room door since he was by himself.
What does it mean?
Should we pull both levers at once?
And if we fail to pull them at the same time?
- Well, we'll all die together. - What?
Let's split up, two on each side,
- and pull at the same time. - Correct.
It's 4:30 now. So in 30 minutes, at exactly 5 o'clock...
At five sharp, we pull the levers on both sides, okay?
Okay. Subbu, let's go this way.
Dude, five o'clock sharp.
1 HOUR UNTIL SUNRISE
Is this the correct way? Do you know, or are you just acting like it?
I've been staying here for ten days.
Balu, what happened?
Did the ghost possess you? Balu...
Balu, I'm scared! I'm scared!
You! You're so scared, but you're bluffing big time.
My gosh! You pulled off a Kamal Haasan perfectly.
- Enough. - I spotted shades of Vikram too!
- Overacting again! Friends?! - We're friends, don't yell at me.
Friends how? Who elopes with their friend's lover?
I didn't deceive you by marrying Savithri. It was a sacrifice!
Is that a sacrifice? How?
Wow! Are you pretending for revenge?
Enough! I've seen enough of these stunts.
Copying me won't turn you into a Kamal Haasan.
Subbu, can I ask you a question?
Don't mind, but have you ever fallen for someone?
- Veeru, let's go. Why these questions now? - Fine, last question.
What qualities do you look for in a partner?
I don't have any such requirements,
- but my father does. - Oh!
- What are they? - Well, he should have good character,
he must be rich and well-known,
- and our horoscopes-- - Shh!
What happened?
- What happened? - Subbu.
- Did you notice something? - What?
I've been in the US for 10 years. So, why did I return here this year?
Why did someone's shirt fall on me?
Though I'm unrelated, why did the village choose me as sacrifice?
Don't you get it yet, Subbu?
I was destined for this, Subbu.
- Huh? - I'm the one your father spoke of, Subbu.
- Veeru! Fine, let's go! - I'm better than your father, Subbu!
- We're running late! - It's true.
Somu, you should've warned me.
I pointed at it, you idiot!
How would I know what you're pointing to?
Let's run away.
- Hey, I am scared. - Move.
Let's go.
It's scaring us, but not attacking. Why?
- There's a rope down there. - Huh?
There's a rope down there.
The rope on that side's broken. Come on, you coward!
Yeah! I may be a coward, but I'm not a cheater like you!
Cheating?
Shall I tell you what real cheating is?
Oh God!
Go ahead, kiss it.
Oh God!
- Look, there it is! - Yeah!
- Come on, let's go and pull it! - Let's go!
- It's back again! - Oh, God! Oh, God!
- We only have five minutes! Go! - I won't go! You go!
Come, Subbu.
Don't rush!
We have no idea what our touch might set off.
Subbu!
I'm not that dumb, Subbu.
Not to brag,
but who figured out the dagger location by reading the skeleton's flashback? Me!
Who had the idea to split into two groups and pull both levers at once? Me!
In all this danger, who promised to get you out safely? Me!
Trust me, Subbu! Step forward with confidence!
Hey!
- Now who's the fool? - That's me!
- There's a way! - What's that?
Cross over the rope, climb up, and pull it.
Keep talking nonsense and I'll climb over you and pull it!
Veeru, do something!
Subbu, swing!
Swing it!
Not in a romantic sense, I meant it as an adventure. Be wild!
Swing! I'll try to grab that lever!
What's your weight?
Forget it. You're incredibly heavy.
Hey, Somu. Hold tight. It'll kill me if I fall now.
Hey! Only ten seconds left!
Eight seconds. Seven.
- Six! A bit more. - Found it.
Five. Four. Three.
- What if he doesn't pull it? - You pull first, Veeru.
THIRTY MINUTES TO SUNRISE
Wrong side! How many times must I save you?
Wow!
Step in with your right foot, Ketika.
Step with your right foot.
Oh, my God!
Clean this place up and sell tickets, it'll outshine the Taj Mahal!
Hey! Balu, look there.
Look how well they have built the columns. All of them are falling!
- You're here for some sightseeing? - Yes.
- Does the fort look good? - Yes.
Look for the dagger, guys!
We only have 20 minutes left!
- Dude, I found it! - Dude!
Your eyes have the sparkle of accomplishment!
- Yes! I found it! - Did you?
Look!
It's like green rangoli powder!
It's not rangoli or snuff powder.
- It's the King's enchanted powder. - Is it?
Maybe they used it to weaken the demon.
Look for the dagger first.
- Great warrior... - Hey, Somu.
- What's this? - How do I look? Is it good?
If you find any underpants, put them on too.
- It's showing. - Cover up, man!
Find the dagger! It's useless after dawn.
Dude!
- All of us will die because of you! - What, dude?
Because of you, we're going to be sacrificed!
- What happened? - I will...
Relax, dude! It was just for fun!
I was just kidding! Hey!
Hey...
They called it a dagger.
- This looks like a vegetable knife! - Yes!
A knife must be tall, like Katrina Kaif!
It's the size of a syringe. My arrow's longer than this.
- Keep quiet! - Will you stay quiet for a moment?
This is the dagger. It's very powerful!
We only have ten minutes.
It won't work once the sun rises.
One more challenge.
The King couldn't kill the demon even with all his soldiers.
We can only kill him with our wits.
Wits!
- That means none of us can do this! - Hey, I'm here!
- Right? - Please!
- You're born to discourage us. - Exactly!
- Let's think. - We don't have time for that.
Only nine minutes left!
We came up with toilets by thinking! Can't we figure out a solution?
You're spouting government slogans, you idiot! Take them off.
- Be serious, guys. - I was Arjuna in my last life!
- I can shoot this... - I'll be right back!
Please stop it, man!
Guys, Subbu said this powder is enchanted.
If we throw this at him, he'll slow down for five seconds.
He'll be weak! Let's stab him then!
- How's the plan? - It won't work out.
- Ugh! - Willpower makes everything possible!
Don't just blurt stuff for the sake of it. Okay?
Learn to respect women. She has a point.
He's huge. This little bit won't cut it.
It won't last until we get there. It doesn't even have any cover.
- Should we cover it then? - Cover it? How?
- Right, like this. - Look there! Don't look here!
- What's there to see? - I'll bash you!
Oh, dear!
Okay.
So, I came up with the idea.
You throw the powder and you stab him! Okay?
They say donating clothes is the greatest virtue.
But you stole half my clothes! Now I have to do this too? You do it!
Willpower makes everything possible, right? You handle it!
- Handle it! - You called yourself Arjuna!
- Now go and kill him! - Arjuna uses bows, not knives!
- You do it! - Are you three ganging up on me?!
- Somu, you do it! - This is unfair.
Veeru came from the US! How can he do this?
I haven't even had jalebi yet!
- You're brave enough! - You've been here for ten days?
You ruined my clothes! And my life!
- Veeru, we don't have time! - Show me!
- Why can't you help him? - Don't raise your hand!
- Why is he pointing his finger? - Is this necessary now?
- Don't joke! - We're running out of time!
He only points with a shaky finger! Nothing else!
- Oh, God! - Oh, God!
Veeru!
Dude!
- Hey! - Run!
- Do something, dude! - Yeah, I'll finish him.
I got it!
- Hey! - Throw it.
Hit him.
- Come on, hit him! Quick! - Dude.
- Hey! - Did you hit him?
- Dude, do something! I'm up in the air! - Oh, God!
Oh, God!
- If you blow air, will it drop down? - I'm trying!
Wait, I'm going!
Come on! You can be scared later!
Run!
- All hail Magadheera! - Did I get it?
It fell down!
Somu!
Hey!
Hey, Somu!
Veeru! Veeru!
- Subbu. - Vee--
Somu? Somu!
Wake up, Somu!
Hey, Somu!
Savithri is yours. I'm your friend!
- Water! Where is the water? - Where is the weapon?
- Where is he? - Go! He will finish you off!
Move aside!
- I finished him off! - Hey, man!
- I finished him off! - Who? Where?
- I finished him off! - Then who is he?
It's all an illusion.
It means there are two of them. Wait!
- Where to? - I'm coming.
Come back!
Veeru, take the dagger!
The only way out is the demon's death.
We must stab him before sunrise.
Dude!
What did you do?
Lullaby
Who are you?
Who are you, tell me who?
Lullabies hum and gently glow
Telling tales I've never known
If you just keep smiling like this
The whole world fades Into a story untold
Lullaby
Who are you?
Who are you, tell me who?
A story washed in silent tears
A story crushed in midnight's hush
A story time won't let fade away
Isn't this truly that very tale?
A story no penance could earn
A story that stirred my soul
A story that changed me forever
This, this... This is for always
Lullaby
Where are you?
Where are you, my child?
What's happening here?
The one in the fort is a ruthless demon.
Five hundred years ago, he heinously devoured an infant.
The whole village believed he murdered the baby.
But ever since I came here,
I've found only signs of a child raised with love.
What if...
the demon didn't murder the baby?
After learning that the demon has a heart big enough to raise a child,
what more proof do I need to remove the dagger?
I just did what felt right.
Veera Babu isn't the hero of this tale, yet he did a noble deed.
To do such noble deeds, we must seek the truth, as he did.
To be human is to be kind, isn't it?
- Please sit, thank you. Sit down! - Hey, what's going on?
- Sit down! - Huh?!
Hey! Did you sneak out?
Aren't you ashamed?
What about the future of this village?
Bloody bugger! You're speaking without knowing anything!
My shirt got torn!
We waged a needless war against an invisible enemy!
- You have absolutely no idea. - How dare you yell at me?
I'll step up and give the verdict.
- Everyone must obey me. - Wait, Mr. President!
Dear, Subbu!
- Father. - You are back!
Why did you step into that fort armed with half-baked knowledge?
She came looking for me.
- I took good care of her. - Shut up!
- It's all because of you. - Dad!
Forget it, Dad!
- How are you? - You're still alive?
- Are you sad I am? - Somu!
- I fought for this torn shirt? - Somu!
Damn! I even filed a complaint.
- Somu! Where? Where is he? - He went that way!
- Here he is, your misfortune! - Somu!
I thought it was a happy ending but you showed up!
- What? - You showed up and it's all happy ending!
- Did you bring the treasure? - Show me your phone!
Here!
There's also a third way in!
- I piled everything there. Go. Take it. - Really?
- Hurry up. Don't tell anyone. - Okay.
What happened there isn't ordinary, sir.
We saw it with our own eyes!
Balu doesn't know how to break-dance
Veeru cannot summon the Veena step
Srinu stumbles in Kuchipudi art
Raju can't catch Teenmaar from the start
We don't know those classical moves
Grace and style, we never could prove
No salsa steps, no samba groove
Is there no beat that fits our crew?
Is there no dance That brings us all in view?
What do you mean, dude? Don't we have a dance that suits us all?
Hey! Of course we do!
It's a snake, snake, snake dance!
Dubai sheikh's shake-shake dance!
It's a snake, snake, snake dance!
Full body shake shake shake dance
Bro, I came here with no clue Now I'm stuck, don't know what to do
I came here with no clue Now I'm stuck, don't know what to do
Amidst all the beauties My breath slips away
Oh, I came here with no clue Now I'm stuck, don't know what to do
I came here with...
Come for jalebi, drop your frustration
Make all the noise Feel the celebration
Leave the fights aside And grab a glass
Even if you're wasted Go ahead and do it
No matter what they think Or even what they say
I've got a move That'll blow your mind, watch me!
Dance with me and shake your body
Sai Ram! Sai Ram! Sai Ram!
It's a snake, snake, snake dance!
Dubai sheik's shake shake dance
It's a snake, snake, snake dance!
Full body shake shake shake dance
Sweetie, tell me a number.
9848022338!
No, pick one out of ten.
Six!
Then... it's teen mar!
They've suffered all these days without easy dance steps.
Poor guys! Poo... Poor guys!
Tell me those three words, and I'll stay by your side.
- What? - Something like "love you"...
It's okay, Subbu. Tell me. Don't be shy!
- Come, let's ask him! - He'll tell you.
- Dude! - Ask him, let's find out.
Tell him what I did!
Haven't I done anything? Do you know what I did?
- I'm the reason the demon changed. - Brother! Dude!
I got some time alone with her.
What is this?
Shut up! You have no idea!
I heard strange sounds before you showed up.
I used to wake up terrified. I almost went mad with fear, you know?
What strange sounds?
- That was after I arrived, right? - I heard them before you got there.
THE END
