Kodalu Diddina Kapuram

1947, Sri LV Prasad who introduced me in films,

supporting all my endeavours in social welfare programs,

all those supporting and encouraging me,

to millions of fans in Andhra Pradesh,

my well wishers, my producers,

to all technicians, to my fellow artistes,

and distributors, journalists,

and to every one in every department of film industry,

l sincerely thank all of them.

'Mana Desam' is my first film.

This film 'Kodalu Diddina Kapuram' is my 200th film.

This is my humble presentation to you.

Though having titles...

Though having seats of power...

Though having riches and wealth...

Home without happiness is nothing but hell...

When l didn't have anything l wished for many things,

l wanted it and l earned it,

Now when l feel l've everything,

l realised l've nothing that's mine.

Hail Supreme Omnipotent eternal happiness...

Everything is your myth...

Everything is in the power... The trick is in wile...

Preaching about power and wile, change this world...

The magic is in the holy water... Life without it is waste...

One who understands this will reach heaven alive...

Believers will get benefits... What would non-believers get anyway?

For those who are in dilemma the liberation is very far...

Soul is in life... Supreme soul is in soul...

Eternal confusion...

That is bliss!

Great devotees! l'm seeing heaven before me.

Hail Satchidananda!

Get my share of offering. Quick!

Move...move...

Stay back l say!

Hey bring the stool!

Hold this.

What are you counting, old man?

l'm checking the balance account after calculating expenses sir.

ls this home?

Who said that? This is battlefield.

What's the results of today's battle? What's the profit and loss statement?

God knows about the profit, but the loss is

6 pairs of slippers, a time piece,

sir's walking stick, elder brother's 2 hats.

Looks like devotees will not spare anything.- No sir.

Okay...okay. Get me a coffee. - Okay sir.

Take it. - For you?

Enough...enough...

Has everyone got their coffee? - Yes.

Had it? - Yes.

Then add water to the milk.

Sir wants coffee. - So early?

Coffee?

Look at the board! Why are you asking newly?

Did you see the time? Still 9 minutes are there.

We'll ring the bell when it's time for coffee.

How can you enter our department without permission?

Ask anything you need from outside.

Sir!

What's the time?

8.01 am, sir. - Come.

One slap for one minute late. Get out.

Okay sir.

Stop...stop...

take this God's offering first.

Wonderful!

Wheat flour, almonds, pistachio, idli is nothing compared to this.

A happy news hubby,

Swamiji has consented to stay here for 3 months.

Slowly son.

Mother, Kurukshetra war ended in 18 days,

if this battle of devotees continues here for 3 months,

how can we live here? - Stop it.

Even on begging falling at Swami's feet he never consents to stay,

but he accepted my request unable to say no to me.

This is our lucky.

Mother! - Who is it?

Who else? Your lovely daughter!

Sister! Life is dull and dim without you.

What brings you here unannounced?

Had you written a card, l would've sent car to the station.

Card? Does she have time to write a card?

Can't you see from here style?

She has come running away from husband unable to life with him.

What bothers you if l come? l've come to my mother's house.

lf l come to your house after you get married...

No way! After seeing so many role model couples around here,

do you want me to marry, sister?

What happened dear?

l've come here permanently with my bags.- Well done.

Where is your luggage? - He's bringing it.

Who? Brother-in-law Shankaram?

You can't enter!

Do you know who am l? l'm son-in-law of this family.

No way! How can l believe you're sir's son-in-law? You're the coolie.

Coolie? Am l a coolie?

l'll complain with my father-in-law and get you dismissed.

Go away you tuft. Go!

Tuft! Am l so cheap to you also for this tuft?

Go...go...

Brother-in-law!

What's this problem?

Look brother-in-law, not letting me in. Moreover calling me a coolie.

He's a coolie sir. - Shut up!

He's son-in-law, get his bgas inside.

Hey, get this flask also. - Yes sir.

Get this umbrella also. - Yes sir.

Go. - Yes sir.

Here's your village hero, your son-in-law.

Welcome son-in-law. ls everyone fine at home?

lnquiries later, first put some into your daughter,- lf she has?

send her to my home.

Look mother, he can't even call my name properly.

How can l live with him?

l called you fondly as Sofa!

Oh no! lt's Shobha not Sofa. - That's what l said Sofa.

Not only my name, he can't pronounce his own name.

Can't l tell my name also properly?

Come on tell me, let me see. - May l? My name is Sankaram.

lt's Shankaram, not Sankaram.

That's what l said. Sankaram, am l right?

Did you see mother?

l'll call my name anyway l like. What bothers you?

Did l deny you anything? Come Sofa.

Atleast you advice and send her with me.

Useless fool! Will anyone broker and send her?

Just kick and take her with you. - Me?

Mother! - Stop your advice.

You stay here only dear.

l don't have any other lady to support me. Stay here only.

Elder son is there, he's married but...

Mother, l told you may times not to talk about marriage and wife.

Did you see her aunt? How stylish she is?

Yes, this modern time belongs to such women only.

Never saw husband's face after marriage,

yet like a good chaste married woman, sports a big dot on forehead,

flowers in hair,

a coat of face powder, shameless woman!

So that's why they said cloud less sky and deserted woman!

What's it? What happened dear?

lt's routine, mother.

lf l go out, people are mauling me.

That's your fate of being our daughter.

Though your father died early, l got you through college,

and married you into a rich family,

l was happy and content for fulfilling his dream.

l thought of forgetting the hardship seeing you happily married and settled.

What was my mistake, mother?

Oh dear! lt's not your fault, that's what hurting me much.

Okay, let it happen as fate decides,

l'll fall at son-in-law's feet one last time,

and ask him what was my daughter's mistake,

and make a fervent plea of honouring the marriage vows taken with my daughter.

Mother! Why are you getting excited? Your not healthy too.

How can you travel now? He would be worried up there.

Dear, the day l see you happy in ln-laws place, my health will improve.

Bye dear, l'll go.

Look...look at him, oh dear!

Look at him O beauty!...

Tender pink cheeks... Young beauty...

Tender enough to turn pink at gentle breeze hitting me...

Seeing me alone...

Entered the bedroom with mischievous idea...

The young man is seeking the honey of my lips with his lips...

The flowers in hair withered... cheeks turned rose...

Body sweated with pleasure and sari slipped away...

Charming the heart of maiden...

Swinging in the thrills of pleasure...

The young adventurous man has done so many things in so short period...

Sister-in-law! Welcome. Coming now?

Had you written a card, l would've sent the car to the station, right?

l came suddenly.

l'm fine. How is your husband?

He's coming, ask him.

l'm getting late to drama rehearsal.

Aunty? Bless me. l'll meet you later.

Why are you standing? Please sit down.

No problem, is son-in-law in home? - l think he is.

Oh aunty! Greetings.

Why did you come alone? ls sister-in-law fine?

Fine, l want to invite son-in-law to my home for festival.

Why do you need my permission to invite your son-in-law?

Oh no! l forgot to serve breakfast to Swami.

Ranga, till then talk to aunty.

This is her way.

Mother fears she may lose devotion on Swami if she shows interest in relatives.

Aunty, brother is coming.

Dear son...

What brings you here?

How long will it continue like this?

l'm here to take you to home atleast for this festival.- No way.

lf not today, a couple of days later. - No way.

Atleast after four days.

Not possible even after 4 days or 4 months or 4 years.

lf you're so busy here, come back the next day with Lakshmi.

l'm also not keeping good health.

My heart disease is deteriorating every day

l regret for your ill health.
