Maryada Ramanna (మర్యాద రామన్న)

1982 - Gandikota, RaYalaseema

What a proud tradition!

Sacrificing lives for love... Taking lives for pride...

HistorY written with the blood...

Okay.

Who was in the phone line?

Your paternal uncle has come out ofjail.

WhY this rivalry with relatives? Are they strangers to You?

The man who insulted mY clan and sent mY brother to Jail,

my brother must kill him.

TodaY he must uphold the pride of this region.

Sir, Raghava Rao has left.

HeY, pick up the axe.

Stop hubby...he's Your paternal aunt's son, right?

He's not a stranger, is he?

Instead of calming down Your brother, whY are You sending him to fight?

You've given birth to two sons, still haven't imbibed the pride of this region?

For pride, there's no difference between relatives and enemies.

Must take lives... must take revenge.

If you give place to thoughts that legs and eyes are ours...

Won't it mar the opportunity of feasting a bloodY revenge?

If we think our blood and our relatives...

Won't the epic battle of Kurukshetra become a big Joke?

Before thinking who are Kauravas and who Pandavas are...

Heads would roll down and rivers of blood would flow wiping out the lives...

Come, let's go to hospital. - Later!

Let my son look at me proudlY.

Raise my son with the pride of this region.

Tell him to see our enemies as dead people.

Sir, onlY his body is in the house. I think his wife has ran awaY.

Let anY number of Years go bY, don't forget to take revenge,

don't show mercy on old or children,

make a vow to wipe out his entire clan.

28 years later...

Customers are leaving in anger without stock.

Are You making fun of me?

Where's he? - He'll come, wait for 5 minutes, brother.

It's me, cYcle. My ill fate I'm under him.

He must look after a beautiful cYcle like me verY well but what is he doing?

He's pedalling without a proper service for years.

Watch out! Apply brake!

Do you think am I a horse? WhY are You galloping, bloodY?

WhY are You riding on top? - I'll get down.

I maY get broken, get me down.

WhY are You climbing wall again?

Coming late everY daY!

Watch out a car...careful... - Be careful!

WhY did You come again? I told your boss to send in auto.

I'll come faster next time. - Don't come again.

WhY did You stop now?

You don't have the capacity to service me properly,

but You've the tendencY of social service too.

Bloody idiot is in dilemma now. Shut up and get going.

Come.

CarrYing you is too much, do I've to carry the little girl too?

Can't You ask Your add to engage auto instead of asking life dailY?

Go!

WhY don't You but a bike instead of using this junk cYcle?

Got a good stick, Idiot! Go!

Give me a plate of idlies, brother. - Two idlies for him.

Order cancel, brother.

Are You playing drama? - I'll come earlY from tomorrow.

Will you come? You've verY late today.

I've to come on cycle. - Keep it there.

From where do You guYs come to spoil our business?

I came late just twice onlY brother.

If you come late again, I'll break you and your cycle.

SorrY, I'll never come late again. - Go awaY.

You're fired, brother.

Ramu, retailers are fed up, I can't lose business for You, right?

Please don't fire me, I'll deliver on time from tomorrow.

How many deliveries can You make on this Junk?- Junk?

Since You've given me the much need rest, I'm forgiving You.

You've a Job if You've an auto.

I don't have that much of moneY.

That's your headache... Mastan, load the bags.

Brother...

Got fired!

Nowjobless!

Not even a stick to hold on to swim across river Godavari...

Not a pennY to offer and seek divine intervention...

Lips have gone dry... stomach is empty...

Life is sapping up...

WhY am I so unluckY?

Upside down...

It's upside down...

Upside down...

Who said hard work will drive away poverty?

I do work hard, but poverty still remains...

They say the more You sweat, the better your life turns...

What did I get? Just sweat onlY...

Lines on palm let me down...

Fate on forehead has become ill fate...

TotallY my life has plunged into darkness...

Bad luck is following me like shadow...

Not a pennY in mY pocket...

Misfortune is attracting me like a magnet...

What am I to do? I'm the most unfortunate man...

Beggars...will get ashamed..

Pick pockets can never pick mY pocket...

Then, whY don't You die?

I can't kill mYself even if I've to die...

Luck turned against me, it left me shattered...

I'm losing out...

Have back so early? Half day leave?

It's long leave hereafter.

I'll not come for night dinner, cook for yourself only.

Did Your boss fire you?

Has the news reached You so quickly, uncle?

Nobody needn't have to tell me,

when you look at your mother's photo silently, I can understand it.

Come home to have lunch.

Rs.2 lakhs! Tata Ace auto trolleY, uncle.

Just Rs.2 lakhs with registration and insurance, uncle.

How much you've fell short? - Rs.1 532 minus Rs.2 lakhs.

No mother or father, no relatives,

all You've is just a Junk cycle. - Take your hands off me.

Who will lend You moneY?

Courier? For whom?

She died long back. He's her son.- Yes sir.

Please sign this.

From Tadipathri MRO's office. Do you've anYone there?

I don't know.

Bye sir. - Okay.

According to the District sessions court's judgement,

in Gandikota village, Tadipathri Mandal, Ananthapur district,

Govt. which confiscated 5.10 acres of land, is being returned to the holder.

You can applY for holder's passbook with Mandal revenue office.

Uncle, I think I've got my auto.

5 acres?

Even if at Rs.30000 a acre, I'll get Rs.1 .5 lakhs.

What do You saY, uncle? WhY don't You answer me?

Your mother never told about Your familY background.

But at times she told You belong to RaYalaseema,

and she hated that place. - You mean?

I mean may be Your familY has some feud there.- Feud?

I mean the fights, clashes that's common in villages.

I don't know why your mother feared that place so much,

I feel you shouldn't go there for the property.

What are you saying uncle? How can I leave the property?

What if You get into trouble there?

Trouble? Would anyone dare trouble me looking at my face?

But Your mother feared... - Uncle, mother feared unnecessarily.

Men who had a feud with my familY 30 years ago,

would he still be waiting to take revenge on me?

If we think of all that, we can't sell this property...

Father, they've arrived.

Baireddy, they're coming here first time,

they must remember our hospitality all their life.

Is entire RaYalaseema region like this only, Natarajan?

No water resources, sir.

My Rajasthan is desert, this looks worse than it.

Don't reject outright, sir.

If not for the Bauxite mines, would You dare come here?

If you can charm Ramineedu, You can mint money.

I don't know about others but these people are different.

WhY? Have they come from heaven?

Local Sp too warned us before coming here.

It seems over 100 murder cases have been filed on Ramineedu and his sons.

Not one has been proved.

Was YourJourney happy? - Fine sir.

My elder son Mallasuri.

Greetings. - Greetings.

Younger son Baireddy. Greetings.- Greetings.

Give him water to wash legs. Please come.

You said something and scared us. They don't seem as what You said.

Hold the umbrella properly.

We were eagerlY waiting for You. They too...stop!

HeY, clear the dung. - Okay sir.

Village, right? - So appearances are deceptive.

What? - Nothing sir.

People scared us with stories about Your murders,

but after coming here, You're not stone but sponge.

Please come in.

WhY are the cattle inside home? - Please take Your seat.

That's our culture. - It's surprizing.

This region's tradition is to accept cattle too as family members.

We take care of them as one of our own.

Yes, indeed I don't see anY difference.

But You were clothes and they don't.

Let's discuss about this house and his wife later, first business.

If you show us the documents, we can discuss other things...

About those things...

He can't understand it and doesn't need it too.

Look, I've been a broker to many big contractors.

We generally offer 10% cut to mafia in our region,

this region has a special name to it as Factionism,

take another 5% extra for it.

What do You saY GhanshYamji?

Let's discuss business later, shall we have lunch first?

WhY don't You also Join us? - No problem sir.

Won't You sit before your father?

Excellent! Though 6 feet tall hunks, You've them in control.

Madam, get me chicken.

Deal is over. I've seen many like them.

Would You like to chew betel leaf and nuts?

Won't You marrY Baireddy?

Are they searching any bride for you? You've any girl in your clan.

I should've killed the moment he took our goodness for weakness.

But, home is like mother to us.
