Save the Tigers

-(cane smashing) -(comedic music)

-(screaming echoes) -(cane smashes)

Hit them.

Sir.

-Sir! -Please, sir...

What is this, sir?

You guys are so cunning!

You hide the actress and pretend to know nothing.

Do I look like an idiot to you?

-Oh, sir. -We don't know, sir.

-Seriously, sir. -We don't know anything, sir.

We don't know anything.

Oh, is that so?

Hey, Ramesh. Get the laptop.

I'm Babu Rao, sir.

There.

Hey.

Tell me now.

Where is Hamsa Lekha?

Hey, that's not us, sir.

I swear, sir. They only look like us. But that's not us, sir.

Go ahead, beat them.

Come on.

-(cane smashes) -(screams persist)

Hey!

Sir, sir, sir.

Sir.

-What now? -(wife growls) Huh?

What is it, baby?

Bring cumin seeds, mustard and dry ginger on your way home.

Why are you giving me such chores?

Do you know what I'm doing now?

Do you know the star heroine Hamsa Lekha?

I'm interrogating the kidnappers who abducted her.

Wait for an hour. I'll come home with the promotion letter.

You are not worth that much.

Shut up and come home with all the items I asked you.

Tell me.

-Cumin seeds. -Cumin seeds.

-Dry ginger. -Dry ginger.

-Mustard seeds. -Mustard seeds.

-Fenugreek seeds. -Fenugreek seeds.

That's it.

Okay.

Hey, Ramesh.

Go with him and buy 1 kg of chilli powder from the nearby shop.

I need it urgently.

Why do you need chilli powder, sir?

Akka didn't mention that.

Find out why.

Sir...

-Sir! -Sir, what is this police atrocity?

Sir, the law is meant to bring transformation to criminals.

It's not meant to punish criminals.

Hey, where the hell are the friendly police?

Friendly police? Hmm!

The pain you inflict on us

by hitting us with a chilli powder-laced stick

will go away if I apply ice cubes to it!

But how will you remove the stain

of your actions on the law, sir?

-(Bhikshapathi) Hey, hit him, man. -(groaning)

Come on.

Harder.

I'm coming. Two minutes.

-Are you done? Listen. -Yes, sir.

You must perfectly edit the videos we got from the police station.

Last time, Rahul called my programme

and cursed at me during a live broadcast.

I will show him the power of Vijay Kanth.

I will rip them all a new one!

Come on, take the pictures.

Come on, what's wrong with these photos?

Each one should look like a criminal's photo.

They should look like psychos.

I mean, if it looks too psychotic--

Oh, are they your friends?

-No, sir. -Your brother-in-law?

-No, si-- -Then, why do you care?

Do what I say. Get the photos!

Don't use your head. Just do as I say.

KIDNAP? MURDER?

HAMSA LEKHA'S FANS STAND OUTSIDE THE POLICE STATION, WORRIED

Welcome to 420 News.

In the cine industry,

Hamsa Lekha, the celebrity who mesmerised us with her beauty,

has gone missing.

Where did she go?

What happened?

According to the information we've received,

these three criminals raped Hamsa Lekha brutally...

They brutally raped Hamsa Lekha,

chopped her into pieces

and threw those pieces in several parts of the city.

This is the information we have received.

Sir, Ramesh called us.

Hamsa Lekha's dress that we found in their car has a stain--

I know. There was blood.

That's not blood, sir. It's wine.

-Huh? -Wine? (grunts)

Sir, sir! I remember everything now!

I'll tell you, sir. I'll tell you.

Ganta anna, hurry up.

-Rahul bro, come on. -(Rahul) Ganta, come.

Hurry up.

Fast.

Ganta anna, have a look.

Hey, are they coming, Ganta?

Hey.

No one is here, anna, Everyone left.

Anna.

She is not Rajani Devi.

She is Shyamala Devi.

-Did you see how she slapped him? -Yes.

It felt like I was watching a Jackie Chan movie.

Rajani akka is really amazing.

Do you have a matchbox?

I lost the matchbox, bro. It fell somewhere.

Anna, don't worry.

If you want, I'll burn this entire city and light your cigarette.

Give it here.

Hmm?

Hello, madam.

Hey, Titanic.

Do you have a matchbox?

Matchbox?

What happened, madam? Why do you have tears in your eyes?

Did something fall into your eyes?

Huh?

Here, take your dress,

warm it up like this and place it on your eyes.

Even your eye gunk will disappear.

But today is the best day

-of your career, man. -(Vikram) I worked like a donkey.

-(Ganta) Hey, you see? -(Rahul) Hey, how did you get it?

-(Vikram) How did you get it? -(Rahul) Hey, amazing!

Hey.

Are you menfolk all the same?

Huh?

I'm standing here to commit suicide.

But you're cracking jokes?

Huh?

Bloody losers! Get lost!

Hello. Our wives asked us to get out, so we are here now.

If you want us to get lost, where are we supposed to go?

Huh?

I mean, we'll mind our business and you mind yours.

Right.

Look at her, with her curly hair.

What the... You bloody!

-Light it up, anna. -Come on, bro. Light it up.

Hamsa Lekha.

Sorry, it was dark. I couldn't recognise you from the back.

Umm...

Why are you here?

I mean, why do you want to commit suicide, madam?

That bloody idiot.

Vrushen.

Vrushen. Vrushen Babu is your fiancé, isn't he?

Hmm.

Yep.

-Who the fuck is Vrushen Babu, bro? -(tsks)

Don't you know Vrushen Babu?

Who?

Goli Bhai. Goli Bhai Vrushen Babu.

Uhh...

Sorry, madam. Please continue.

Before our engagement,

he said that I could continue to act even after the wedding

and promised to give his full support.

After our engagement,

he said that his family is super elite

and that his fans won't accept it if I play the heroine.

He went back on his word.

And he told me...

he told me not to act anymore.

Oh.
