Maa Inti Bangaram

Are you done?

How do I look?

Like a proper, traditional daughter of the house.

Traditional what?

A traditional woman.

Are you nervous?

Are you?

Well, it's been almost 3 years.

I wonder how they will receive us.

Trust me. All their anger will disappear the moment they see you.

I'm sure they will fall in love with you too.

They have no choice.

I'll keep trying till they do.

Just wait and watch.

I got a whole plan laid out.

Well, don't get your hopes up.

Oh, they're already up.

I want everyone to like me.

Oh...

Is that so?

Actually, I'm scared they might say something to you.

I mean, you did snatch me away from my family, after all.

Not my words.

It's what my family would say.

Swarna...

You know I was kidding, right?

Come on.

Grandpa, my husband is a good doctor.

Feel free to get checked. It's free of cost.

Doctor, my leg hurts all the time.

Please take a look at this.

Everyone will get their turn.

Okay, okay. Calm down.

Stop the bus!

- Veerendar Raju! - Long Live!

- Veerendar Raju! - Long Live!

Get down, everyone. The bus won't go beyond this point.

- Veerendar Raju! - Long Live!

Sit here.

Swarna, I'll go find something to eat.

Hey, get me a cup of tea.

Block the other side too.

I'm sure you worked very hard to gather all these people,

and move these stones here.

Of course! We had to wake up at 4 AM.

Please don't mind me asking.

Will his soul rest in peace if you shut everything down?

What's the logic here?

Not just the roads. Schools, shops, everything is shut down.

It's a way of paying respect to his soul.

Respect or peace for his soul? They are two different things.

Check the other side, guys.

His soul will rest in peace if we respect him.

Take a tea break, guys.

But until yesterday, people were using the roads as usual.

All the shops were operating.

Does that mean they were disrespecting him then?

When he was with us, we were respecting him directly in person.

Now that he's gone, what's wrong in showing it like this?

Where did you get these flags?

Rangaiah's tailoring shop.

Oh! So you opened the shops even after he passed away.

Just for half an hour. And then we shut it again.

What about the tea and coffee?

Savithramma's tea shop. So what?

What are you implying?

Half an hour for the flags and 15 minutes for the tea.

Another 30 minutes for the garlands.

Looks like you've disrespected him more than any of us.

Are you saying we disrespected our leader?

Hold on a minute!

What did you just say? We're disrespecting our leader?

Where are you from, again?

Swarna, what's going on?

Calm down, guys. Let's talk.

Please calm down.

Stop pushing me!

Suri!

Did he just fall in?

Is he alive?

My husband is a good doctor.

My brother said he'd pick us up.

It's okay. The bus was late, right?

Taxi, taxi!

Taxi!

Swarna, let's go.

I'll get that.

Brother, how are you?

Hey, take this inside.

Sister-in-law, how are you?

Let me take these.

Here you go.

I waited at the bus stop for so long.

But then I had to rush back here.

Our bus was interrupted by a group of protestors.

Umm... Geetha has been asking for you.

And for sister-in-law, of course.

Please come.

- Listen, I need to tell you something. - What is it?

Dad doesn't know you're coming.

Are you serious? You said you told him.

I didn't say that.

I said I was going to tell him.

Why didn't you tell him then?

I'll find the right time and tell him.

You come inside. Sister-in-law, let's go.

Swarna...

Priest, the auspicious time will pass. Let's go.

Sure, sir.

I'll read out the wedding invitation now.

Wishing the couple a blessed and harmonious life,

On the first day of the bright fortnight

of the month of Jyeshta, in the lunar year named Krodhanama,

this auspicious time has been set for the wedding of...

Ramaiah Raju's second daughter Venkata Geetha with,

and Uppalapati Madhava Raju's only son Prakash

in holy matrimony, with the blessings of Almighty.

Sir, please exchange the ceremonial offerings.

Hello, sister-in-law.

Now watch your dad go off at him!

Who called him?

Actually...

I did. I was going to tell you...

You thought I wouldn't be able to say anything once he's here.

He left this family for that woman.

How could he even show up now?

But our sister deserves to have her elder brother at her wedding.

- I'll see you. - Yeah.

Let's go.

We're at a wedding where we aren't welcome.

They refuse to even talk to me.

It's okay.

Nobody greeted me either.

Anyway, the function is over.

Let's go.

Brother, hello!

Where do you think you're going?

You didn't wish me well or shake my hand. What is this behavior?

All the best!

The guy looks really good.

I know, right.

Alright then. We'll leave.

Hello, sir! Won't you stay for the wedding?

I can't manage everything alone. You have to stay.

You know how dad can be.

Please stay.

Sister-in-law, please.

Let's stay, Ani.

Oh! You call him Ani.

We came all the way. We might as well stay.

They seem like such good people.

Mom...

Are you taking out your resentment toward your father on us?

Won't you stay back for your mother's sake?

Just wait and see.

We'll become their favorites within a week.

Don't be so sure.

The enquiry commission is yet to begin.

What are you?

What?

I'm Swarna.

That's what you wanted to know, right?

She's asking about your caste.

Oh, sorry.

Unfortunately, my parents passed away

before I could know my caste.

I'd have definitely asked them if they lived a little longer.

That's sad. What about properties, assets, gold, etc?

Unfortunately, I missed out on that too.

- Did you go to college? - I did BA Economics.

What's that all about?

Well, Economics is...

It's nothing, grandma.

Few degrees are purely decorative, and this is one of them.

Let me answer.

Economics is...

Which side are you from anyway?

Side.

It's not caste. So...

She means to ask where you're from.

Your slang is a bit eccentric.

So she wants to know your native place.

We stayed in Tirupati for a while, and then Nellore.

They're adjacent regions.

What about coo... coo... coo...

Let me say it.

She's asking if you can cook.

When do you wake up in the morning?

Can you make Methi Muttton Masala?

What was your percentage in BA?

Can you do Surya Namaskars?

What about tamarind chicken?

Can you sew?

Can you make rangolis?

Do you have any siblings?

They grilled me like I'm some criminal.

I wonder where he found her.

What's wrong with my accent?

I speak just like you, right?

What was up with that accent?
