Devil (డెవిల్)

In the backdrop of this story that happens in 1945...

All the characters other than Netaji are fictitious.

Any resemblance to historical events or persons living or dead is purely coincidental.

British empire... the empire on which the sun never sets.

The British army, undefeated for a thousand years.

The soldier who defied this great empire and hoisted the flag of freedom...

He was Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose.

Having lakhs of fans and thousands of followers, Netaji trusted only one person.

Trivarna.

Netaji's right hand.

The intelligence chief of Azad Hind Fauj, a rebel outfit founded by Netaji.

Netaji who was running the movement from overseas since the past four years...

Was about to return to India.

The details about when are where in India was he about to land...

were sent to India by him through a telegraphic message.

One more time.

One more time.

General Kenneth Bracken.

As the head of British Secret Service in India...

His job was to nab freedom fighters and revolters and neutralize them.

Arresting Netaji was the goal of his life.

Sweet smell of burning flesh...

No... No...

Do not let him faint.

Where is Chandra Bose?

One more time.

Where is Trivarna?

One more time.

A message...

From Agent Trojan.

Four years ago, Bracken sent a British undercover agent to work under Netaji's organization.

And named him, Trojan.

The goal for which he sent Trojan there was fruitful today.

Trojan delivered the message sent to India by Netaji, to Bracken.

Finally, we got the information on Bose.

Bhuma, what brings you here?

Why are you approaching me?

Do you know what will happen if the landlord discovers this?

I know Vijaya ma'am...

If I come closer to you...

The landlord would end my life...

I cannot live if I stay away from you.

Hey Satya, did you see Bhuma?

No uncle, I didn't see him.

Where might he have gone?

Ma'am...

Ma'am...

Ma'am...

Ma'am...

Ma'am!

Who saw the dead body first?

It was me, sir.

Okay...

Ma'am went to attend a marriage...

The land lord went to attend a party...

You tried to rob the money and jewellery...

She might have seen you stealing...

You were scared that she might scream and tell everyone about you...

So you've killed her by slitting her throat.

No, sir...

I swear on God Venkateshwara...

- I did not kill Ma'am. - Sir...

I found this in the room where she was killed.

- Sir... That is Bhu-- - Tell me...

- That is Bhuma's... - Who is Bhuma?

Sir, he is Ramana's son.

My son is innocent, sir.

He brought up Vijaya ma'am lovingly since her childhood.

One must not show love towards the master...

One must have respect towards them.

Her beauty tempted him...

So he made his move.

She retaliated...

He was afraid she might complain to the landlord in the morning.

So, he slit her throat and killed her.

Call Bhuma here immediately.

- Sir. - Yes.

Bhuma and Rani are missing since last night.

Who is Rani?

She is the cook here.

Sir!

Please come here and take a look.

Sir, please come here.

Sir, look at the blood stains here.

Sir!

This blood-stained shirt was found in the land lord's room.

What is this Mr. Landlord?

Last night, I attended a dance show at the YMCA.

I returned late...

I went straight to my room and slept off.

I don't know anything beyond that.

Stop fabricating stories, sir.

If Bhuma's towel is found in that room...

It implies Bhuma entered that room.

You returned home at the same time...

witnessing them in a romantic encounter...

In a fit of rage...

You grabbed the knife and slit her throat.

A terrified Bhuma fled the scene.

This is what transpired.

Come on, let's go.

What did you think of the British police?

Secure the evidence at the station.

Did you record everyone's statement?

Move. What happened?

Uncle!

- Aunty! What happened? - Oh no.

Ma'am, they are arresting the land lord...

- In Vijaya ma'am's murder. - Murder?

Vijaya was murdered?

- Who is she? - She is Meenakshi Devi's niece.

She lives here.

Looks like she is coming back from the temple.

Record her statement as well.

Okay, sir.

Ma'am, let's go.

HIMS Talwar... come in.

HIMS Talwar... come in... come in.

Sir, this is Venkata Chari, the butler, speaking.

There's a massacre happening here.

What's going on over there?

Sir, that is a pirate attack.

What?

Four attacks in just six months?

Sir, please don't say that...

Please save me, sir.

This naval base is 300 nautical miles away from there.

I am so sorry...

But, we can't help you.

Please, help me, sir.

Sir!

Devil is on that ship.

Fortunate for us.

And unfortunate for them.

Everyone here has individually taken down sharks.

Sir, he claims that the ocean is his kingdom.

Is it!

Chalam, with such talent, why can't he earn a living by catching sharks?

Why resort to robberies?

Ask him to surrender...

Otherwise...

The ocean he considers his kingdom...

Will become his grave.

- Sir! - Devil!

Well done, Devil... Well done!

- Thank you, sir. - Come.

You cancelled my posting in Burma...

and instructed me to report to the head quarters at once...

Any thing important, sir?

Well, we have a new assignment for you.

Here.

Devil!

Sir!

- Take a seat. - Thank you, sir.

You need to go to Rasapadu and investigate this murder case.

What does secret service have to do with a murder case, sir?

Sub-Inspector Matthayya speaking.

- Bell, here. - Yes, sir.

A special officer from Madras is arriving to investigate Vijaya's murder case.

Sir.

Cooperate with him during the investigation.

Yes, sir.

Gudisela Matthayya reporting, sir.

Sir, I've arranged accommodation for you at the Travellers' Bungalow. Please follow me.

Matthayya, I've gone through the file you prepared.

Sir!

Impressive! You've apprehended the killer in just half an hour.

Sir!

- Job well done! - Sir... Ramana...

Our superior has arrived; fetch a ginger coffee.

- Matthayya... Can I meet Meenakshi Devi? - Sir...

Sure, sir. I will bring her in two minutes.

Sir, coffee.

Is this the only entrance to this house?

This is the main entrance, sir.

The northern entrance is on that side.

The rear entrance always remains closed.

Why?

Swamiji has mentioned that it is ominous if that entrance is left open.

That's why it was sealed during the elder queen's reign.

Sir, she is performing puja, she said she will be here in moment.

She wants you to be seated in the meeting hall...

- Please come... - After you.

Please, sir...

Please, come, sir. This way, sir.

The knife used in the murder?

It was found right here, sir.

I have registered it as evidence and secured it in the police station.

- By the way Matthayya... - Sir!

Did you find any fingerprints on the knife?

Yes, sir.

- Whose were they? - The land lord's.

Right hand or left hand?

Of course, right hand.

Was the blood found on the outside or the inside of the knife?

The inside part, sir.

- Shastri... - Sir?

Give me that red pen.

Ouch!

If the knife was swayed like this with the right hand...
