Bomma Blockbuster (బొమ్మ బ్లాక్‌బస్టర్)

Raju!

Dude...

Dude...

Dude, look at me... Dude.

Tell me...

The van our direction department was coming in, met with an accident, sir.

Bha... Bloody teenagers!

Situation seems little dangerous, sir!

We would need some money too...

I'll send our assistant director to your house. Please hand him some money, sir!

Ok, send him.

-Here, take it. -Sir...

Ok, sir.

-Hey... -Sir?

-Did you call me, sir? -Can't say if that will be enough.

Take this too.

-Call me if you need anything. -Ok, sir. Thank you.

Durga...-Sir?

Is everything ready for the ritual?-Ongoing, sir.

-Sir... -What? Haven't you left already?

Sir, the story... It's...

At that place...

Do you want me to read this now?

Get lost.

Idiots! No sense of time at all!

Brother-in-law... How are you?

I came to know about the accident our idiots did...

-Is it true? -Yeah,

our direction department guys...-Idiots!

Also, you are never that lucky with movies, right?

You keep making movies without listening to us.

You have already made 15 movies.

Now your son wants to try his luck...

And you even sold a house to produce his debut movie.

Shame on you! Not even a single story of yours had strength in it.

Why would public even watch them!

I have no answer for Hari Babu's words.

Yes, I did a mistake.

I made a movie just because I had huge budget.

I made a movie just because a star gave me his dates.

I made a movie just because I got a star heroine casted.

I made a movie just because I got a famous director onboard.

The mistake I did all through is that...

I never heard or read a story completely.

We need a great story to turn a normal hero into a star.

We need a great story to turn a normal director into a star director.

We need a great story for a producer to make profits.

Yes! For a movie to be a hit or a blockbuster...

All we need is a story. A great story.

THIS IS MY STORY - DIRECTED BY PURI JAGANNADH

Sir... Puri sir...

Are you wondering why someone whould paste his pictures in a script?

The story you are reading is my real story...

My life story, sir.

Cast whomever you want as the hero in your movie...

I don't mind!

But while you are reading this book, my image have to be on your mind.

I'm from Atchutapuram, near Visakhapatnam.

It has nice paddy fields, mountains, beach...

...great humans, blah blah! I'm not going to bore you with all this.

Our village is ok.

Go fish and you'll know the pain.

This is not a vegetable market to bargain!

-Keep moving! -No no...

I can earn 3 grand on this lot.

-Are you selling it or not? -You and your bloody bargains!

As if you are the only fisherman around!

The hell with them... Let's go get another customer.

As if he's giving birth to all the fish in the ocean!

You bought them out of the ocean, that's it.

Of course, I work hard to fish. I don't get fish by just sleeping with you.

This is a common spectacle around here.

To know more about me... Ok, you'll know in the next scene.

Is he brushing or eating the brush?

Hey, I need to talk to you. Put that down and come with me.

Why are you selling at 150 instead of 100?

So what? That's my wish.

Stick to the price my friend had decided.

Of course, as he can't do s**t... He stayed home!

Stop blabbering. You know very well about him!

He told you to sell at 100. Just do that.

-No one is buying at even 50. -I'll kick you in the balls!

-Yeah, I'll just keep watching, right? -Shut up!

The movie is an utter flop!

Yet another flop!

-As if you can decide that. -We have to decide that, not you.

Also, how can you decide if it's a hit or a flop within just two days?

Are you instigating a flight?

-Of course, let's fight! -Look at the superheroes talk!

-Why are you coming on to me? -Enough talking!

I'll kill you!

Hey, you idiots!

Pothuraju, they took my coconut!

They are thrashing your friends.

They are talking bad about Puri Jagannadh.

The one who said that the movie is a flop...

I want to hear that from him, again.

I said so. So what?

I said so. So what? It's me, right?

- That's me. So what? - Yeah, that's him.

He's on fire! Hand me that...

PURI

What's with this movie, the black tickets, and this fight...

To know all this from the start...

I have to start from the age where I was...

...wondering about unwanted hair at unwanted places.

I mean to say beard and mustache!

POKIRI

Move move... Fast!

It's a super hit!

'Once I commit to something, I'll listen to none'

Saying this is so easy for anyone.

'I won't listen to myself...'

Only Puri Jagannadh can say that.

I just liked Puri Jagannadh until this point.

After Pokiri, it turned into madness!

I went so mad that...

I'm 18 years old right here.

That's 10 years ago.

I wanted to pen down these ten years of my life into a cinema story.

And I have to make my favorite director Puri Jagannadh direct it.

No matter if I'm living or dead...

My life story should live on in his direction.

This is the decision I took.

BOMMA BLOCK BUSTER

For some clarity, I'll give you a glimpse of these 18 years.

My dad... He knew nothing but to fish.

He never forced me to follow him.

He suggested me to follow my heart.

Being a movie buff came down from my father himself.

He used to take me to the movies whenever he found free time.

I told him that I saw Pokiri and I wanted to write my life story as a movie.

My dad looked at me with emotion in his eyes and aksed me to follow my heart.

I don't know why he looked at me like that. Let's see if he tells why.

Those visuals are not that great, so I'm avoiding them.

And my little sister... We always keep fighting.

I have no idea if she likes me or not!

But let me show you her character through a scene.

Shruthi, where is the dirty cloth?

-God! Oh my God! -What's with the hurry? Give me your hand.

-Dad, it's hurting. -Can't you see the water boiling.

How many times should I tell you? Look what happened!

-Dad? -Ha?

-Dad... -What? Go on.

See... I'm writing a story, right?

How will it reach Puri sir?

It will. I'll take it to him.

-How can that be? -Dad, tell him something.

Or else, he won't let you go.

You too support him now!

Let's go to Anakapalle first.

Let's catch a passenger train and get off in Hyderbad by the next morning.

Let's take an auto there.

Let's give him 500 bucks and ask him to show us all the movie stars' houses.

Come here.

Why will he show us all that?

Fool! Do you know Appi, Veera's son?

He gave the auto driver 500 bucks and saw all their houses.

What? We'll do the same.

He'll say, 'This is Chiranjeevi's house. Bala Krishna's house. Nagarjuna's house'.

'This is Rajamouli's house'.

'This is Puri Jagannadh's house', there we jump off and hand him the script.

That's it!

What? Great people have watchmen at the gates.

Will they let us go? They will thrash us both.

Hey... Don't think about all that.

Listen... I'm ready to get thrashed for you.

While they thrash me, you get in and hand him the script. Ok?

I liked him! I liked my dad even more after that.

I opened the scene for my sister, but my dad became highlighted, right?

My most favorite person telling me that he'll take me to my favorite person.

I liked it a lot! And I got fixed!

My dad will take me to Puri Jagannadh.

This is fixed!

I told you everything that happened in these 18 years.

Everything that happens from now on should be cinematic!

Cinematic...! Cinematic...! Cinematic...!

Of course, nothing happens cinematically...

We have to create everything.

If something has to happen, it should happen in these ten years.

I thrashed many in the name of 'being cinematic'.

I got into fights. I started fights. I poked into others' fights too.

And sometimes me too...

Dad?

-Hey! -What?

I'll show you a great scene inside the station. Let's go.

What will you show me in the police station, you fool!

Dad!

-Come on... -Hey, stop!

-I beg you. -Nothing will happen.

-This is a police station. -Don't panic!

-What's with that commotion? -Shh!

-Send her away. -Please, no.

-What do you want? -Namasthe, madam.

Tell me. What's the matter?

You... You'll have this list, right?

Speak properly. I don't get you.

The list of the... Someone from the list...

-What! Remove those shades first! -Ok, madam. Ok!

Hey, no!
