Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy (సై రా నరసింహ రెడ్డి)

MY LORD EMMANUEL!

I've travelled the length & breadth of this country.

and I have seen neither a beggar nor a thief.

We observed that this country has great wealth.

We have always believed that

we are the most civlized people on earth.

But civilization truly began in India.

It lies in the roots of Indian culture.

The Mughals who ruled them for hundreds of years,

looted their treasure but not their culture.

Their strength lies in their education and culture.

Break that strength and looting India will become easier.

Using the policy of 'Divide and Rule',

the British destroyed all exisiting forms of government in India.

Chaos ruled the country.

A few rulers and feudal chiefs have started revolting...

...against the British, demanding freedom.

The most famous among them is the first revolt the Sepoy Mutiny of 1857.

And the principal leader in that revolt is Jhansi Lakshmi Bai.

Fire

under the leadership of Jhansi Lakshmi Bai,

It’s been 3 months since we began this freedom struggle

We started with 20000 men.

Now only 100 of us remain.

Our fate will be the same if we enter into the battle field tomorrow

We’ve initiated this Freedom Struggle. And we will be the ones to end it.

Hara Hara Mahadev!!!

Hara Hara Mahadev!!!

Even if a warrior’s head gets cut off, he shouldn’t drop his weapon.

Commander, a person ending his life in war is equal to ‘Lord Shiva’.

Who gave you the right to stop this struggle?

This great rebellion was not started by you or me.

You are afraid to fight because we are only a 100 men.

This war was started 10 years ago by one brave man.

The British Empire was shaken to it's core by a single person.

It's a boy child!

But he's born dead.

His birth itself was a battle of life and death.

He won that battle by conquering death, to emerge the victor.

He conquered death to be born, Sir. He is Immortal.

He is a monk.

He is a warrior.

He’s the one who has ignited the spirit of freedom, the sun of Renadu.

Nossam chief Jayarami Reddy married both his...

daughters to Uyyalawada chief Malla Reddy.

One daughter had 2 boys. The other had a boy...

...Who was clearly a ‘chosen’ one since 6 years of age.

Seema was suffering from a drought back then.

A Yagnam needed to be performed for rainfall.

Only a person of Majjari lineage who could light the...

...diya on Jagannatha Hill, could perform the Yagnam.

As per astrology, Narasimha Reddy was chosen to be the eligible person.

On every Karthika Pournami, Narasimha Reddy would light the diya.

People from the surrounding villages believe that the...

...Diya shows the path to a bright future.

Narasimha Reddy was adopted by his grandfather

who had no successor to the Nossam Fort.

Grandpa, why were they killed? -Yes

It is how the British rule, my son.

If we confront or oppose them, they'll kill us.

You're a feudal chief, right? Can't you do anything?

We are feudal chiefs in name only.

These British entered our country,

took away our power and started looting the public

They threatened us with their guns and took our powers away...

by throwing money at us in the form of pensions.

Money that we became dependent on...

and since then we have been living miserably like slaves.

Instead of living like a slave, it is better to die opposing them.

I've heard that you've travelled all over the country?

Yes.

Are the British killing our people in the same way throughout our land?

Yes, they are.

Then we should kill the British, right?

Oh, Narasimha!

They need to be killed.

Then bless me.

I'll go and kill them all.

How many can you kill alone?

I can kill ten of them.

They are an army of thousands.

They'll kill you.

Then I'll die.

Killing or dying is not important.

Winning is important.

To win, a war must be fought

You alone cannot acheive that.

People around you should also come along with you.

For that to happen,

the rage inside you should be ignited in others too.

You yourself have to embody the spirit of war.

That is not your weapon.

This is your weapon.

Om...

You will first have to conquer yourself.

Let’s begin implementing British rules in East India.

In small areas at first...

then gradually as time passes throughout the whole of India itself.

Increase the present taxes by 300%.

And in this way, the British conquered all of India.

High ranking officials were put in positions of power...

so they could exploit the wealth of the whole country.

Cochrane, the representative of this evil herd of raiders...

headed towards Southern India,

which was known as the nucleus of the Indian Subcontinent.

But he had no idea of the existence of the valorous land of Renadu

And that Renadu's Sun had

already risen penetrating the darkness.

Many years ago, that land was divided into 61 small dominions.

The chiefs of those dominions are called 'Palegars'.

The Palegars had lost their power and unity because of the British.

But Avuku's chief Avuku Raju.

Mydukuru's chief Veera Reddy.

Kurnool's Papa khan...

were the only chiefs out of the 61,

Who were still ruling their dominions independently.

Narasimhareddy organised a ceremony to unite them all.

Swamy,

my son is organising this ceremony against the wishes of the British.

Will he succeed?

Narasimha Reddy is no ordinary person.

He is the 'chosen' one.

He was raised with a sword in one hand,

and the Vedas in the other hand.

No force can stop him.

-Take this. -People are waiting for your performance.

Come quickly.

What happened, dear?

Swami... underneath that water?

Oh!

Before the ceremony begins,

it is our tradition to pray to Lord Sangameswara, who resides in the pond.

But, how? How can he be in there for so long?

He's great man who mastered the art of holding breath under water.

Majjari Narasimha Reddy.

Papa Khan, it's been so long since we celebrated this God..

with the sacred clothes that you've brought.

These celebrations which were stopped by the British,

have been restarted because of the bravery of my brother Narasimha Reddy.

Oh, God!

May these celebrations proceed without any obstacles

Pray to God.

I won't let that happen

Why, Avuku Raju?

Arrangements for this event have been carried out on a war footing.

Everyone has turned out to watch this competition.

How can you say this?

Who is organising these celebrations?

Narasimha Reddy.

We too have a part in the arrangements of these celebrations, right?

But still, All the credit wil got to Narasimha Reddy.

Okay, who will win the competition?

They're saying it will be Narasimha Reddy.

What if we win?

They will praise Narasimha Reddy again for organising such a great competition.

Basi Reddy, should this competition take place

if only he's going to be praised, irrespective of the winner?

No.

They won't... Look at our man there.

That's a drug which triggers madness of the bulls.

Now, neither Narasimha Reddy...

nor Lord Narasimha...

can make this competition happen.

Bulli Reddy, drug the bulls a bit more.

It's not just this competition. These celebrations shouldn't take place either.

Lakshmi, you...

who are you searching for?

-Greetings, Sir, -Greetings, Sir,

The bulls are heading into the valley. Someone save them.

We found out because one of our men saw him drugging the bulls.

Okay, it's all in the past. Nothing happened, right?

Come on, nothing went wrong.

After all, Avuku Raju is a chief like us.

So let it go. Come on, leave.

These two families have been locking horns for ages

-This is over. -Wait.

He is not the only chief here.

There are 61 chiefs here today. The people are here too.

These celebrations belong to all, Basi Reddy

Both, King and the common man are equal before justice.

Avuku Raju should apologise.

He shouldn't apologise,

He should ask for...

Why would he ask for forgiveness?

Why don't you speak up? My father is speaking the truth?

-He should apologise -Yes, he should apologise.

Yes, he should apologise.

A feudal chief asking for an apology?

I will cut my head off...

But I won't ask for an apology.

-Avuku Raju -Papa Khan.

Avuku Raju may have committed a mistake now...

But, he is the chief of 70 villages.

It’s true that he hates me

that hatred has driven him to do this damage.

But he loves his people

Let's remember his people, his good deeds and forgive him.

Narasimha Reddy

I don't like you seeing the goodness in me.

This isn't jealousy but self-respect, Narasimha Reddy
