Paradesi (பரதேசி)

Tobacco use leads to cancer..

..heart attacks, lungs disorders and other deadly diseases.

The characters shown in this film or program..

..do not support the use of any type of tobaccos products..

..such as beedi, cigarette, khaini, zarda, etc..

..or their promotion in any manner.

We treat around 50 patients daily.

More than 1,000 people in a month.

80 to 90 percent patients suffering from cancer consume tobacco.

This is Mukesh's story.

My name is Mukesh. I ate gutkha just for one year.

I am undergoing operation for mouth cancer.

Maybe I will not be able to speak in future.

Unfortunately we could not save Mukesh.

His age is only 24.

Khaini, pan, gutkha and pan masala are dangerous to health.

Before Independence..

..in our India..

..British wanted to introduce tea plantation..

..they destroyed the forests in mountains..

..and planned to start tea plantation.

By risking their lives and to do this difficult work..

..they took away many villagers living in..

..Southern parts of India.

Without any..

By leaving their native villages..

..lakhs of innocent people..

..for the hot tea we drink today..

..the true story of those innocent villagers..

..from those days..

By the way, what you did?

O Kind-hearted people!

Our Bullaiah's son Gangaraju and..

..Subbaiah's son Karri Lachi's marriage..

..is fixed on 7th of Shravan month, friday..

O Kind-hearted people!

So without forgetting the good things..

..they did for us in all these years..

..now we request you to..

..return the favour.

Peraiah!

Just play the drum!

We will look into their matter. Go!

O Kind-hearted people!

Sister-in-law!

Sister-in-law? I am becoming deaf because of your drum sound.

Why do you come here and cry?

Old woman! After your death..

..your son will not come to conduct your funeral rites, I will have to do that.

That is true, Pera.

Sister-in-law, will you not do the cooking till afternoon.

Old woman might die any moment.

Aunt!

I know! - Our Bullaiah..

Well, son-in-law..

When are you getting married?

There are many girls waiting for me.

You just serve hot rice..

..I will tie the nuptial chain to you in no time.

Yes, uncle? - Be careful, son-in-law.

Nuptial chain is not enough for her.

Tie a thick rope and take her away.

Your son-in-law is asking me to marry him. Should I marry?

You think you deserve me?

Rascal! You are talking too much!

Sister!

Children are sleeping. Do not shout.

Hey, quite.

Cutie! Raju has come.

Sister, what is my nephew's name?

His father's name.

Are you here?

Uncle told me that you are eating all day and not going for work, just..

Get out! Taking food directly..

You will suffer stomach pain if you eat without giving.

I do not mind.

Are you a human being?

Why did you kick him like that?

Remember my words properly.

Mangamma!

Come one day before the wedding. Do not forget. Go.

Okay, sir. - Greetings, sir.

Aunt! Raju has come!

Come, Mr. Raju. Where is your Minister?

Forget my Minister, your Minister is peeping out of dhoti. Check.

Aunt! Have you gone deaf?

I am here.

Raju is hungry. Bring whatever you have.

Today I am destined to eat in your house.

Not everyone is lucky as you are. Go.

You have given him liberty. See how he is dominating.

Did not you find any house today?

Does any woman in this village cooks food before you do?

Leave it if you want. I will go.

No need to go.

Eat last night's food.

Since I too did not cook food..

..so do not call me names.

Are you a woman? You are giving only rice.

Do not you know to give pickle and chilli to eat with it?

My God! He is torturing me.

Uncle..

What if you are an elderly person here?

Should you drink liquor all day?

Look Peraiah..

This alone is not enough.

There is one more.

You only tell.

You have only one girl.

Tell me how many aunts you have.

How will I know it, uncle?

I too do not know.

Fingers are not sufficient to count.

You know? - I do not know. Whatever it is, ask your Minister.

O kind-hearted people!

Greatest of all the kings!

Bravest of all!

Courageous man! Foolish fellow!

Our village's Peraiah.

His other name is Pittala Peraiah.

He is coming by playing drum..

..for begging food. O kind-hearted people!

Stop that nonsense!

Being a girl, how can you talk like that? Who will marry you?

Why do not you marry, Raju.

Now you took my name.

What did you say just now?

What did I say? Pittala Peraiah.

That is your name, right? - It is okay. Before that?

I forgot. You only tell.

Aunt! What did Rangamma say?

I do not know, do not drag me into that.

Uncle, you tell. - Okay..

Pidakala Peraiah.

You make cow dung cakes after the old woman dies, maybe that one.

Deaf uncle!

I will hit you! If you call my father deaf..

..I will announce that name to the entire village.

No, Rangamma. Name is not nice, it looks disgusting.

Okay, let us both decide something.

Aunt and uncle, you are witness.

I will not call your father as deaf.

I swear on Raju, you too should not call me with that name.

What should not I say? Pittala Peraiah?

Pittala Peraiah!

Grandmother!

Grandmother!

Hell with you!

Why are you beating the drum? - No reply from you.

I thought you are dead. - You will think so.

You will have nobody in this village if I die.

You have become a jinx to this family. Foolish fellow!

Why do you abuse like that? I shout in the entire village and get some food..

..so that you do not starve.

If you call me a fool again then Raju will leave.

Forget your threatening!

Instead of working hard, you are begging food in every house and..

..filling out stomachs.

Without having any shame, I am too eating that begged food and..

..awaiting my death.

Hell with my life and your livelihood!

Useless rascal!

Raju will leave! Be careful.

I will pierce your eyes with these embers.

Showing attitude? You did not show attitude when this village mocked you..

..but you are showing attitude when I say something.

O God! When will the gain wisdom..

..when will he become good..

Hey!

You have left such a boy to me.

Old woman! - Hey!

Leaving!

Eat something and go.

Raju ate at uncle's house.

So you already ate. Tomorrow after I die, they will put food in my mouth too..

..eat that too.

Peraiah!

They have setup a shop here. Let us go to that side.

Give soon! - Me too!

Hold it high, uncle. - Give!

Drink.

I am giving.

"They made decorations all around."

"They invited entire village for the procession."

Why did you call now?

I did not call. - Bride wants to talk to the groom. Take her.

Bride wants to talk to the groom?

Look Mr. Peraiah, this girl..

Hey old woman!

You saw your husband before marriage?

Play it loud! More loud!

That is it! Yes!

Peraiah! Come, come.

Why do you run errands at the marriage..

..in Subbanna's family? You are an honorable person.

See that you do not get dirty.

Sister-in-law! Come here!

Come and dance with this brother-in-law.

I will do after we both get married!

Okay, fine.
