Venky Mama (వెంకీ మామా)

What's with you, brother in law?

Being so wealthy...

...you're getting your daughter married in a temple?

Stop it...

Do you think these people are getting married here because they can't afford it?

Then?

This is the auspicious time fixed by Mr Ram Narayana.

There is a belief here that the marriages under his blessings would last forever.

Are you talking about the astrologer Mr Ram Narayana?

Of course!

Marriage is not only a union of two hearts and two lives

but two horoscopes should match as well.

The Muhurta of the marriage should be appropriate too.

With the profound blessing of Lord Bhimeshwara Swamy,

I wish that you are all blessed with joy and progeny.

He is a great man who can read the lines on the palm and predict future aptly.

He has never gone wrong, brother-in-law

But unfortunately,

-in case of his his daughter's marriage... -Brother in law...

Let's go.

DRAKSHARAMAM

Say, 'maa... ma'(maternal uncle)

Boo...

Not boo, dear... Say, 'mama'... say 'Maama...'

Why're you forcing him to say it of your affection for your younger brother?

He can't even say 'amma'(mom) properly. How do you expect him to say mama?

Yeah... Yeah...

If my younger brother wouldn't have helped us get married against my father wish,

you wouldn't have had this wife or a son.

By the way, when is your brother getting posted in the army?

Next week...

His posting is in Rajasthan!

So madam's family was against your marriage?

Is it a caste problem?

No!

Then, it must be property issues, madam.

No, not even that.

Then, what else madam?

Our horoscopes did not match.

There was a prediction that even if we get married by going against them,

we'd die within the time our baby turns a year old. So my father was against it.

Understood, ma'am.

Your son has turned one and nothing terrible had happened to you.

You are here to tell this to your father and he would be happy to see his grandson.

Am I right?

100% true!

But he didn't turn one yet.

Oh, he didn't turn yet?

-Tomorrow is his first birthday. -Hmm...

- Oh! Is it tomorrow? -Hey... watchout!

The baby won't stopping crying. What shall we do?

Wait!

Even the baby born out of such a marriage wouldn't have a proper horoscope.

I won't even allow his shadow to fall on my home.

How can we leave a baby like an orphan?

It is not about leaving him. It is better to get rid of him forever.

Hand him over to his paternal grandparents.

Hey, make all arrangements for the cremation ceremony.

Let's leave.

Hey!

Do not touch him.

-His horoscope has... -Father...

You believe that God has the power to write our fate.

But I believe that human love has the power to rewrite that fate.

He is my nephew and he will stay with me.

But it is up to you if I should stay with you or not.

Maama... (uncle)

VENKY MAMA

AMMA + NAANNA = VENKY MAMA

We have come here to take our grandchild along with us to London.

He won't leave anywhere.

But if you want to stay with him, come to my home. You can live with us together.

May the Lord bless these rings which you will give to each other.

Hmm...

Is this what you got out of him after two hours of interrogation?

We are getting enquired about him in his hometown, sir.

We will get the report in another half an hour, sir.

Why did you trespass an army restricted area?

Why is this map with you?

Why did you mark all the army locations?

What's your next attack?

Sir!

He is my nephew, sir. I have come here for my nephew.

What is the connection between this map and your nephew?

He is here in the military, sir.

Name?

Karthik.

Karthik Shivaram.

-Which unit? -Don't know, sir!

-Which regiment? -Don't know, sir.

Which rank?

Did he intimate and come here, for me to know those details, sir?

He has come here without any intimation.

It has been three years since I have seen him.

Got it.

So you've marked all the locations of army areas and came here...

...searching each location?

Yes, sir.

Do you think I'm a fool to believe your story?

Sir... Sir... Sir... Please don't scare him like that.

Can you see fear in his eyes?

Who is his nephew?

Why did he come to the army without informing anyone?

And, why did this guy come searching for him after three years?

I need to know all those details. Record the statement!

3 YEARS AGOMr.Karthik...

We are impressed with your academics.

You are selected for this job.

Yes!

Thank you so much. But I'm sorry.

For what?

I don't need this job. I'm rejecting this offer.

Why did you attend the interview when you aren't interested in the job?

My uncle worked very hard for my education, sir.

I wanted to know if it had gotten into my mind.

Very well indeed! Thank you. I'll take leave.

The posting in London with handsome pay!

Do you even realise what kind of future you are giving up for your uncle?

I don't want the future that comes by letting go of my uncle, sir.

Bye.

How's the fish stew?

It is very delicious, Lakshmi!

Lakshmi!

You know Mr Raghavayya of Vijayanagaram, don't you?

He is setting up a factory in Chennai.

He told me that a manager post is vacant there.

There is Raju in our village. I think it would better if we offer this job to him.

His mother is depressed that he is roaming around idle despite having a degree.

First, think about the one beside him, who is sitting idle without a job.

Huh!

He has neither a job nor a hope of getting it.

What should I do if my planets do not cooperate, Lakshmi?

If it is in my fate that I won't get the job, I won't get it no matter what I do.

But if it is otherwise, then I need not do anything.

Yeah!
