Cinema Bandi (సినిమా బండి)

You are dwelling on the same thing.

We will have more options in town.

There's nothing in this village!

What do you mean?

You have your father's fertile land, right?

Who doesn't have one in our village?

If there was an adequate water supply in the village,

then I'd stay here happily and look after the fields.

It hasn't even rained properly in the last three years.

And our lands are turning barren.

It will rain.

There will be heavy rains this year.

I saw the forecast on TV.

If everyone just moves to the city,

then who will look after our village?

You are already taking care of it

by roaming around in your auto-rickshaw, right?

You know, towns do not have power outages at all!

Hey! They have to eat whatever grows here, right?

We harvest the crops. Shouldn't we also be given proper electricity power?

Exactly! They are making a lot of developments in town

but our condition remains the same.

It will get better.

Just wait and watch.

What the hell is this?

Whose bag is this?

This is strange!

Someone must have forgotten it.

Hey, Potti!

Who said you could open the bag?

Listen, these are not toys!

Oh, you're up!

Why did you waste money on these toys?

What? Toys?

Do these things look like toys to you?

Somebody left this bag in the auto-rickshaw yesterday.

What is this? It's so huge!

Can't you see it's a camera?

Wow! It's as big as the exhaust pipe in our kitchen!

You might even use it as one of your cooking utensils!

Give me that!

Turn a little to your left.

Come ahead.

Goddammit! This is not a circus.

Just give a subtle pose.

Look ahead and smile.

That way…

Hello?

Where are you, Gana?

I'm here at Janga's wedding.

Stay right there. I'm coming.

Why? What happened?

I'll be right there.

Listen, you two.

Do you want me to fall at your feet and beg you?

Please give me a decent smile!

It looks terrific!

Where did you find it?

Is it worth 10,000 rupees?

What?

Well, it'll be worth 5,000 rupees at least.

You know, I never imagined I would see a camera like this,

let alone hold one!

Very well. Now that you have seen it and held it, let's sell it off.

I'll give you a good cut!

-Are you crazy? -Why?

Look at the number of focusing rings on it.

By adjusting each ring, we can click different kinds of photos.

And what is this strange-looking thing?

This thing?

This is to wipe the sweat off our hands after we click photos.

Oh!

Well, forget that! Just tell me, how much we can make out of it?

Shut the hell up!

This is kind of camera that is used to make movies

which have super stars like Mahesh Babu and Prabhas!

What about Pawan Kalyan?

What's going on? How long will you make us wait in this scorching heat?

We are in a hurry!

Practice your bloody pose first!

Listen.

Let's rent out this camera.

At the least, we can get 10,000 rupees a month.

What's the matter?

What are you thinking about?

Hey! Just say the word, and I'll take care of the rest.

Hey, idiot! Hurry up! We need to leave for our honeymoon.

Why does he need me for every damn thing?

Faction fights continue in Kurnool.

By renting out the camera, we can pay off the auto-rickshaw loan.

Yeah. Let's hope so.

Yes.

Indie films are making waves on the silver screen.

Until recently, it was all about big stars, huge sets and fights scenes.

What an era it was!

With youth and family audience flocking into the theaters…

these indie films are recovering their investment in a week's time.

It's a blockbuster! It will collect one billion rupees!

Listen.

Why don't we make a movie ourselves?

Sure! You be the hero and I'll be the heroine.

That sounds fun!

We can spend the rest of our lives dancing.

You keep your head in the clouds all the time.

My master is a shithead, but I somehow managed to escape him.

We're already late. I won't spare you if we don't get the tickets!

It's already been a week since the release. Don't worry.

But how come you didn't watch it yet?

Are you insane? I'll be watching it for the fourth time!

You're unbelievable! Don't you have any work to do?

Cinema lovers like you make the producers rich!

Hey, pay up!

Get lost, kid! Don't lean on me!

Yes, Veera?

Do you know how to use the camera that I found?

All these cameras are the same.

My camera is like a younger sister of the one you found. That's it.

Indie films are making waves on the silver screen.

Even though these films don't have huge sets or fight scenes,

the youth as well as families have been flocking into the theaters.

These indie films are recovering their investment in a week's time.

It's a blockbuster!

It will collect one billion rupees!

You brat!

Yes, Veera?

Listen to me carefully.

You said you could shoot videos and make a good movie, right?

Well, then, why don't we make a movie ourselves?

A movie?

How on earth can we make a movie?

Listen closely. By renting out the camera,

we'll earn only a few thousands.

But if we make a movie,

we'll be minting money! We can share the earnings equally. What do you say?

All that is fine, but making a movie is a huge deal!

Is it possible for us?

It's not that big a deal.

We don't need to build a set or anything.

Everything will be shot in our village.

Hey! Watch it!

You're splashing water on my camera with your dumb games!

-Hey, it's getting late! -Be right there.

Okay, I got to go.

I don't think shooting is a big deal.

I can handle that.

But how do we find actors for the movie?

Damn! Where's my plate?

Well, you are underestimating our village.

If we look around, we will find someone here itself.

By the way, do we need money to make a movie?

Money?

I don't think we need any money.

Please hurry up!

Come on, move faster!

We will shoot it in our village.

The actors will also be from the village.

We can do it. Don't think much about money.

It's time for the wedding vows.

Get ready to click pictures.

-Come on. -Yes, Veera?

Hey, wait a minute!

We have got the camera for free.

-Can you stop talking on the phone? -You see, there's nothing to lose.

Just hold on for a minute! This is an important call.

That's right. You took the words right out of my mouth!

Let's not waste any more time.

There is nothing more to think about.

Alright then! Let's do this. We are making a movie!

That's right! We are making a movie!

Ignore him. The auspicious time is about to end.

About to end? It ended long back! Ring the wedding bells!

Hey, Gana!

Hey, wake up.

Wake up, you sleepy head!

What is it?

What brings you here so early?

-Look over there. -Where?

Who is this old man?

His name is Narasimha Murthy.

He has written about 50 poems and 30 stories.

Some of them were even published in Swathi,

a popular Telugu magazine.

All of them are love stories.

Why the hell are you telling me all this?

Stop annoying me early in the morning.

Why don't you get it?

He has got some amazing love stories.

-Listen to me. -Let me go and take a dump first!

-Listen to me first. -Okay, fine! Tell me. What is it?

What's wrong with you? Did you forget everything?

Listen, idiot! He could be the writer of our movie.

Where did you find him?

Right here in our village.

He is very famous, but nobody really knows him.

I gave him a ride in my auto-rickshaw once.

So, that's our story?

Your plan seems to be in full swing!

Well, yeah.

But how are we going to find the actors?

What about the hero and heroine?
