Narasimha Naidu (నరసింహ నాయుడు)

Surrender your weapons before the inquiry begins.

Do it.

Ask them to surrender too.

That is what we have whatever you may call them.

''Raghupati Naidu, how could'' we have fought without weapons?

How could men be killed if you didn't possess weapons.

''Kuppuswami Naidu, you don't'' know what happened here.

Don't defend your brother-in-law unnecessarily.

Last year during the Goddess holy procession...

... one of their village men almost knocked it in drunken state.

They have killed our men for questioning his behaviour.

Because of that you boycott our village from celebrations?

''I'll allow you if you promise,'' in writing that...

... there will be no bloodshed.

Why should we obey him?

Let's see why God's procession cannot reach our village. Let's go.

I realized why court cases never reach settlement in this country.

May God save them.

Wait.

Proceed now.

Hold it.

''O God, they are demons.''

What are you doing?

Look at my guts. Look at my feet on your chest.

Put it on my head if it cools of your anger.

Don't trouble our villagers. Don't rape our women folk.

For that you have to carry the idol yourself around our village.

Will you do it or face our wrath?

I'll carry it.

Wait. ''Nagamani, give 'aarti'.''

You have been collecting the funds that came to God's hundi.

''From now on, we will control it.''

They killed my son. But I can sire another.

My wife is raped but I will still live with her.

Our fields are destroyed. We will survive on one meal.

But how long do we continue to tolerate their atrocities?

You have been distributing holy food till now.

We cannot see another person in your place.

- That's true. - What can I do?

There are both good and bad men.

We are being nice while they are being nasty.

We believe in God and they believe in violence.

''To confront them, we must'' have enough trained men.

Let all of us train one child from each family.

''Let's assume, each family'' sacrificed one child.

They will protect us when the need arises.

Each family has sponsored one child for this purpose.

Now it's my turn.

''- Don't just stand. Go,'' dress up the girl. - Okay.

We are to offer worship at temple at 9.40 in Anjali's name.

We went to station. Her clothes didn't arrive by train.

Kuppuswami Naidu wants her daughter wear best clothes on...

... her birthday. How could he not send new clothes?

''- Brother, call him up.'' ''- Okay, brother.''

''Brother, brother-in-law'' is on line. - I see.

- Greetings brother-in-law. - Why have you called?

Give it to my daughter. I want to wish her happy birthday.

Why didn't you send new clothes by train?

Your daughter will be furious if she comes to know of it.

They were delivered late to me ''so, I sent them by helicopter.''

You send clothes by helicopter spending thousands!!

Money is nothing compared to my daughter.

Go out and see. You can see the helicopter landing.

Come on. Unload the luggage.

''Unload, faster.''

- We are relieved of tension. - Where are Anjali's clothes?

Her father sent them by helicopter.

Dress her up like a princess.

Your father sent these clothes for you.

Your uncles are waiting to take you to temple. Come soon.

- Are you the dance teacher? - I play harmonium. He is inside.

''Hey, you, come out.''

Our Simhachalam told us to bring you.

Tell him to come to me if he wants to meet me.

Wait. Don't be hasty.

Simhachalam is a big landlord.

I agree. He seems to be rich.

''You better go. Else, our identity will be exposed."

I expected to see an old man. You are an young man!

- Where did you learn dance? - In Rayalaseema.

We will pay Rs.50,000. Close down your school and shift here.

So that, our niece will take lessons as per her convenience.

I cannot do it.

Is a lakh okay?

- I didn't mean not because of money. - Then what?

I objection is to teach whenever she feels like learning.

Do you think it's a joke?

- How do you feel - I'm hale and healthy. I'm fed on mother's milk.

What do you think we were fed donkey's milk?

You should know better.

You are after all a dance teacher. Why are you being so proud?

I'm not just a dance teacher but can...

... do 'tandav' like Shiva if I get enraged.

Cannot my niece learn dance?

Ofcourse she can. But dance isn't easy to learn.

Art is like expressions by eyes, not just sit and dream.

It brings awakening in people.

That is why many actors could become chief ministers.

It is not for arrogant and ignorant people.

You are provoking us.

You have provoked me.

I've replied politely.

One needs our permission to enter or go out of this house.

I'm one up on Abimanyu who learnt to break...

... the 'padmavyuh' while he was still in his mother's womb.

You may impress on fools.

Leave the dogs on him.

You first learn from your dogs how to respect me.

Your niece can learn dance from me later.

''- Greetings, sir.'' - Greetings.

- You have already paid your fees. It's not mine but Anjali's.

Do you know whom should you pray to before you begin?

- The Earth godess. - Show me.

This is to pray to all Gods.

This to pay respect to teachers and other elders.

This is to pay respects to parents.

''Doing like this means, greeting...''

... your seniors and teachers.

The last one is to pray to the Goddess earth.

This is how you pay respects to mother earth.

You first pray to her to seek forgiveness for any inconvenience...

... you might cause her by your dance.

Do you understand?

''Yes, sir.''

Show me what you understood.

Not like that. Do like this.

You should hold your head like this.

Stand straight.

Get into proper position Where is your mind?

I'm telling you. Do like this.

You tell her.

Don't stare at me. Stand like this.

Stand straight and breath in hard.

You have no interest or concentration to learn dance.

''If you do, follow my steps.''

Not here. Go do it on that rock.

Hold the rope.

Let's go.

- What's this? - New clothes. - Who told you to bring?

I brought. I want you look different from others.

You must look stunning.

Take them back. Get out of my sight.

Wait there.

Why did he get angry with me?

It must have reminded him of his wife.

He is married!

He has a son too.

He is not your son!

I'm not even married.

Where is his wife?

Let's go to town to buy new instruments.

- We will go to buy them. - Dikshit is taking care of my son.

I'm coming with you.

- Play with toys. - I'll play with him.

Be careful. Milk bottle in the window if he cries.

Get ready.

Who are all of you?

-Have you come to join the school? -You know whose school is it?

- Our teacher's. - Know who he is?

- Our teacher. - No. He is my husband.

Why are you stunned? Did he say I'm dead?

All men are alike. I expected to see 12 years old.

You look grownups.

You are all young, to be married.

Cannot you go to a lady teacher instead of him?

Don't come here looking glamorous.

My son is crying. ''I'm coming, my dear.''

Why are you crying dear?

Don't cry.

Cannot you see me struggling alone. Come here.

- What do I do? - Give me the soap.

You look like a good girl. Give me a truthful answer.

-Ask. - Is any of the girls trying to woo my husband?

Tell me if there is. I'll teach her a lesson.

''No, madam.''

''O my sweet baby,'' want to sleep?

Take care of him. I'll go take bath.

- There is no soap in the bath. - Use 'Sunnipindi'

He wants me use Lux soap only.

We are meeting after a long time. I cannot spoil his mood.

Do you know me came together because of Lux soap?

Both of us put our hands on one piece of soap in the shop.

On what?... On Lux...

That ignited my love.

I got the soap but lost my heart to him.

Since then I use only Lux.

Madam! - Don't hide it. We know who is your wife.

My wife!

- What do you think? - She is good.

- What? - Your wife.

She is waiting inside with Lux soap. Go...

''- Hello, brother-in-law.'' - When did you come?

Long time back. I gave him a bath too.

You told others that you are my wife!

I'm your sister-in-law.

I'll be the first choice if at all you remarry.

I came here to tell you my father is fixing my marriage.

I told him that I'll marry only you.

I never thought of it. She loves her sister deeply.

She wishes to be mother to her sister's son.
