Pushpa

This story begins in Japan

where the sun rises first on the earth

This is a rich Japanese wedding...

It’s a custom here for groom to gift something to bride

This is not about Japanese wedding or their customs

Do you see that violin? It is about this.

It's costs is eight lakhs...

The reason is, it is made of seldom available wood

You will not find this wood anywhere around here.

But, it must be smuggled from China by sea.

Shanghai port, China.

That wood was transported by this ship.

It came from Chennai travelling thousands of miles.

They were loaded onto ships by these lorries

The place in the world where we can find red sandalwood...

Seshachalam forest, Rayalaseema.

Surprisingly this plant doesn't grow anywhere else than here on the earth.

That is the reason why it costs so much.

This is the gold growing on earth, it's name is red sandalwood

This red sandalwood is being smuggled abroad from here.

Truthfully this story is not about Redsandal wood

It's about a labourer who became a part of smuggling syndicate

Are you wondering what is a labourer? Don't take him lite

A guy like you and me would be everywhere, but a guy like him is rare like the red sandalwood.

You are escaping right in front of police... Who are you?

Get down.. get down... get down.

We have met after long time. How you doing?

Hope you are doing good.

That’s ok.

Why trouble between us.

I will give you Ten thousand. Will you leave me?

Ten Thousand.

Bribe? Are you trying to bribe Tamilnadu Police Is It?

Sir, he's trying to bribe us ten thousand, sir.

Twenty Thousand!

Thirty thousand!

Forty thousand!

Fifty thousand!

Fifty thousand!

One Lakh!

I meant is one lakh per head

What I’m saying is one lakh per head.

Brother... Are you Tamil?

What is your name?

Pushpa!

Hardcore Telugu

Everyone’s story starts with his birth.

But my story has begin after I met him.

Don’t stay there gossiping while you go and have tea.

Come fast. We have lots of work. OK?

Who is he? Is he your Son in law... sitting as if he owns the place.

My Name is Kesava... this is the first time I've met Pushpa

Who is that guy? Sitting cross legged?

Hey... what is this?

How can you sit cross legged, when owner is asking..?

Don’t you have manners?

What?

This leg is mine and this leg is mine... and i kept my leg on my leg.

Did I put my leg on the owner or what?

Does he want me to work or give him respect?

You must change your behaviour if you want to work here.

You cant behave as you want

Is it so?

It’s not possible to change my behavior so how about changing the owner

Give me my wages

I will leave.

This is enough for what I have done.

Give this to your owner and ask him to go and buy manners in the market if available.

Hold this!

This fellow will either rule the world or go to dogs.

Hey... Where are you going?

I’m also changing the owner.

- I want to see what he becomes. - Where are you going?

Hey Parvatamma. How many days will you escape like this?

I gave you money during last Ganga fair.

Forget the principle, till now you haven’t even paid the interest.

Didn’t I tell you Reddappa that I will pay back next month?

You are postponing every month saying next month. How many times should I come to your house?

Shameless people... Shameless people.

Reddappa. Don’t shout. The whole Village is listening.

I am shouting so that everyone can listen. At least then they will feel ashamed and repay.

She is a widow. Is that the way to talk to her.

widow? So what?

She has a son as grown as a buffalo at home.. right.

Isn’t he a man? Doesn’t he have hands and legs?

No Reddappa, My boy has joined for work in the mill.

He will pay whatever he earns month after month to you.

What will he repay?

Everyone in the village know that your son has left the work long time back.

What is this son? Is Reddappa telling the truth?

Have you really left work at the mill? How will we survive without work.

I am asking you.

Listen Parvatamma. Forget this. I will come tomorrow morning.

I want you to repay every penny,

If not, this time I will not shout standing in front of your house...

will do it from your roof top I will shout in front of everyone.

Drink... Neither son is listening nor the buffalo.

Principle Three thousand and Interest Three thousand six hundred.

Total Six thousand six hundred.

The account is settled. bye.

Glad that your account is settled. How about mine?

Your Account? What account?

Entire village got to know that we have took a loan from you.

Now, Shouldn’t all of them know that we have repaid?

Isn’t it simple?

Hello Gurappa, Venkatadri Pushpa has repaid his loan.

Hundred rupees work... Hundred rupees work.

Hey... why are you going that side? If we go that side, there is no surety that we will come back home by evening.

Where are you all going?

We put in so much effort to flick this, and you want to hand over it to the police just like that?

I have an idea. Come here, I will tell you.

Taskforce DSP Govindappa!

He's nightmare for Red sandal smugglers

After he took charge, coolies realised that life more important than money

If anyone has to cut the trees or smuggle the goods out of the forest it can be only after he takes a nap.

Ey.. What are you people doing here?

We came to graze the sheep... sheep

Where are the sheep then?

Sheep have gone into the forest to graze...

How many sheep are you grazing?

How many sheep do we have?

around two hundred I guess.

We will have two hundred sir.

What work does Shepherds have with the axe?

They came to graze the sheep and I came to kill the tiger if it comes...

Hey... Is this the way to speak to DSP sir?

Don’t you have manners??

of course, we have respect, that’s why we hid the logs.

Otherwise, we would have moved them out of the forest in front of you.

Then you would have really lost respect?

Hey what are you staring at?

Tiger is caught. Wrap it!

Don’t act smart? Where are goods?

Where are goods?

I thought you are man who came to catch the goods

Didn't know you came to catch whatever come in your way.

Hello Sir.

You have just 6 bullets.

I have sixty axes around me.

We will OUTNUMBER you.

Sir, Look at their faces. They are all looking like rouges.

Not now. We will come back again.

He is giving good advice.

If you listen to him, it will do good for all of us.

I plead you sir... please come back sir.

They are strong only when they are in the forest... Where can they go, sir.

Let's go sir... we will nab them when they come out.

Look like they will take out the hidden stock in front of us.

We will lose our respect it that happens, Lets go sir.

Leaf lives on Sunlight to grow

The Goat eats away leaves to be alive

And a tiger hunts goat to survive

Isn’t it the power of Hunger?

Isn’t it the power of Hunger?

The tiger perishes in death the death dissolves in time

And the time surrenders before Kali This is a great hunger

The hunted knows it should run faster And the hunter knows he should outrun his prey

If the hunted wins, it will live another day And the hunter knows, it should win to survive

Life for one May mean death for another
