Annavaram

Pothuraju is the lone brother of Rain God,

a God who bars the entry of evil into the village,

So anyone who passes this test of strength and restores the sword,

he's designated as the village's Pothuraju.

Let's see who will become this year's Pothuraju.

Hey Iri!

Me?

Not you, bloody drunkard.

He abused me, l must drink again. -Wait.

Price of a quarter? - Rs. 40.

Take Rs. 40.

Why are you claiming Rs. 20 as forty?

How much is this? - Rs. 20.

This? - Rs. 20.

2 x 20 =? - 40.

Price of a bottle? - Rs. 40.

Settled!

Come here. - What?

Whose idol is that?

Have you gone blind, old woman?

It's Pothuraju, any doubt?

Will there be Lord Shiva sans trident?

Will there be Lord Vishnu sans discuss?

Will there be a Pothuraju sans sword? You fool!

l think you've gone mad too. - Why?

We are running a competition to restore the sword to him.

Go and watch.

Varam!

Dear Varalakshmi!

Varam! Varam!

Where is your brother Annavaram? The competition has started,

your brother who represents our village is not here.

My brother knows very well about when and how to make a grand entry.

You needn't have muscle power to restore the sword,

you need courage.

My brother is a brave heart!

He's indeed, but did he really made the sword?

Made the sword?

My brother is an expert in making knives.

lt's Pothuraju's sword! He'll make it powerful!

You can't find another sword like it in lndia.

l'm tensed, dear.

Narasimha! Where is your friend Annavaram?

Don't you want them to be happy? Dance.

How will it be if a lightning strikes him?

Hey...

What will happen if a mountain falls on them?

They will be crushed. But the time is fast running out.

When will he come?

For thundering thunder,

for a lightning to strike,

for Annavaram to come here,

you need just a moment!

What if he forgets to sharpen the sword?

Annavaram is sharp on all sides.

See how he sharpens the sword.

Annavaram has arrived!

Annavaram! Annavaram! Annavaram!

Annavaram! Annavaram!

Finish them!

Annavaram! Annavaram! Annavaram!

He's a mighty thunder and powerful lightning...

He's carrying a sword with iron fist...

His eyes are like raging fire...

He's personification of bravery...

He's a terror to the opponents...

Yay! Come on!

ls it the house we are going to rob?

Yes.

Keep an eye. l'll finish it. - Okay

Annavaram! - What?

Be careful.

Be careful... be watchful.

l think the house is haunted.

lt isn't me, it's Annavaram's job.

Fool! l told you to watch but you're raising an alarm.

Come, let's go, sister will be waiting.

l thought someone else.

ls the job over? - Yes.

Brother! Have you brought it?

Can l dare refuse my sister's request?

How much trouble we... he took to bring it?

Come on show me, brother. - Look, up, down, side...

What a great dance!

How you were proud of your long hair?

Your ear rings are good, where did you buy them?

My father bought it in city.

l'm going to market, will you join me?

Why is your plait on the front side?

Plait must reach a girl's navel if it's in front,

and when back it must reach beyond waist.

May everyone's evil eye cast on you including those with short hair,

be warded off, please spit dear.

As if he took all the trouble.

Like a wrestler, l've to give him a massage.

l can sleep peacefully tonight. - But l can't sleep at all.

Why?

l can't imagine my Seetha without a long plait.

Your Seetha?

One sided love, like in film 'Aarya'.

l'm Allu Arjun.

What lousy times have come! People steal jewels or cash,

lts unusual to see a thief stealing hair.

lt's really strange. May be he's a wig maker to steal hair.

Please don't cry my dear.

Can your tears bring back the lost hair?

A thief will take cash or jewels, why did he take her hair?

Maybe he's a wig maker.

Come... no problem... come.

Don't cry my dear... calm down... what a great tragedy!

He cut her hair completely. May his hands get paralyzed!

May he get ruined! - Mother, please don't curse him!

Shut up, you idiot.

You don't know how a woman will feel for losing her hair.

Let the man who did this get a bald head.

May he lose his hair and become a skinhead.

Just for fun.

You don't mind her.

lt was long like a King Cobra.

lt has become small like an earthworm.

Foolish woman! Why did you keep quiet till he was doing this to you?

Would l keep quiet if l knew it?

Where is the shampoo, mother?

You cut her mother's hair.

lt's of no use to me now. l've lost my hair.

Find it yourself.

l mean that is...

Are you a brother?

Escape...escape... - You..

Stop!

lt's time to drink... bottle is empty.

Come here.

Why do you wear your brother's shirts?

Why don't you dress like girls? lt will be fine.

Will you wear a sari for your marriage or wear your brother's shirt then too?

lt seems you didn't wear even half sari for your marriage.

My foot! Why are you comparing yourself with me?

l was married at 6 years.

Okay, l'll grind...you get up.

Annavaram! Annavaram!

Me?

ls your name Varam?

Varalu. - Answer when l call Varalu.

Cough? - Yes.

No medicine has given any relief. - Use this, it will give relief.

Will this give relief? Have you gone mad?

Why? l lost my job, my wife, my home for this.

Why can't it get rid of your cough?

No...no... - Please have it.

Cough all your life.

Annavaram! Annavaram!

Where is he?

Hey! Are you here?

l've good news for you. - What's that good news?

l've got a good proposal for his sister.

Boy is very sharp, very intelligent.

First tell me his native place.

Place doesn't matter much when the boy is good.

Won't you tell me any news without getting beaten up?

Will you beat me today also?

Without any doubt.

No need, l'll tell his native place.

Dichpalli near Karimnagar.

Dichpalli? - Yes.

Palli? - Yes

Sure? - Yes

Come, what did l tell you?

What's this injustice? - You'll get the stick of life.

Come, l'll tell you. - What?

What's this injustice? - Why are you ill treating him?

Now talk.

ls your sister any Queen to get a proposal from King?

Find a match suitable to her position and get her married.

Grandma, please stop.

Look, if a man's hands are rough it means he's toiling hard to live.

lf a girl's hands are rough it means she's struggling to live. Come here.

Look at her hands.

Look how her hands are after toiling hard!

She was born and brought up here,

shouldn't she atleast live happily after marriage?

Didn't l tell you to find a home with fridge, TV and grinder?

A bazaar to shop, a park to stroll. - A cinema theatre too.

Theatre?
