Moorane Krishnappa

- Maada. - What's up?

What a surprise!

You're a big shot!

How can I not call you?

Big shot? And me? You're the real estate developer dude!

Nonsense! Where are you?

In Narayanpura.

I was sticking posters.

- Where exactly? - Close by, in Singe Nagar.

I don't know dude.

- It's near Chandapur. - Got it.

The Ganesha temple is being inaugurated.

Veeranna, the panchayat president got it built.

Next candidate? Has he done the public any good?

Yes, he got this temple built for the village.

So, what's happening?

I heard comedian Michael Madhu is coming for the inauguration.

I don't know dude.

He's done many films with Kashinath, dude.

You didn't get it, did you?

I know him... that fair chap.

Okay bye, see you later.

Damn! It's exactly as it was. Where's this guy?

Damn this guy!

Hey Naga!

What the fuck are you doing?

Because of your shoddy job, I have to get it repaired again when it rains.

He's so annoying when it comes to work!

Look here fella!

Only if you can do it well, be here.

If you can't, then send your sister's son.

My nephew does the hard work. But for payment, he calls my sister, so he can flirt with her.

I've been watching you since yesterday. Your work is so slow.

All of you are useless!

Where do you idiots come from!

A child can do a better job!

Shankara, his sister's son is far better.

The job's almost done. Don't get tensed early in the morning.

You... you just won't get it!

The function is in a week. I have books chief guests and actors!

There's so much work! Don't preach to me. Tell him!

Boss, Sakamma is coming...

- You should've told me. - Sakamma, all well?

All well Mr President!

All well. Back in the day, we would walk miles to see Lord Ganesha and our legs would nearly break.

I'm glad you brought Ganesha to our village and made it easy for us.

God bless you.

Ask your family to vote for me this time too, Sakamma.

I'll do more good work in future.

Definitely. I'll threaten to chop their heads if they don't listen to me.

Yes, do that.

I'm off to my brother's house. See you.

Careful. Don't fall. You have to get me votes.

- Shankara. - Boss...

Heard that?

The opening must be really grand!

In the name of God, I can get these idiots to vote!

Your schemes are brilliant, boss.

Tell me Laxman.

[-Veeranna, the chief guest of our function]

[passed away from a heart attack this morning.]

[Our function is in a week. What do we do?]

- Shankara, get the boys & come to my office. - What happened boss?

Just come to my office.

- Raghu... - Yes Kishore...

What happened to him?

Why is he so tensed?

No idea.

- It could be... - What?

Joint Jalaja from our village...

Yes, I know... tell me.

That thing where they write stories about themselves. What's that?

Autobiography.

Yes, autobiography. She's started writing it.

So?

He may be tensed that she might include his name in it.

You dimwits!

He's already tensed. What nonsense are you talking!

Who the hell let you in?

Vasanna, when the elections were held, we worked tirelessly.

But our conveyance was not paid.

On asking, they said take it from Vasu.

We've come to your house so many times.

Did you meet us even once?

Shall I ask for it in front of everyone?

Kishore, I'll handle it later. Keep quiet now.

I fell at the feet of so many people and booked him.

The elections are nearing.

And I have no clue what to do.

Now it's fixed I'll lose this time.

And it's also fixed that Loki will use this excuse to win.

Boss, we still have five days.

We will find someone, don't worry.

In such a short time?

I have an idea. Why don't we ask Krishnappa?

He keeps going to Bengaluru. I'm sure he has many contacts,

Who Krishnappa?

The village school master.

School master? Tell me who.

Just three people have that name in our village.

Look, two of them are here.

This is Moonal's son. Consider him the first Krishnappa.

This is, that boy who jumped into the well and died,

...his father. This is the second Krishnappa.

He died due to love failure...

Shut up. This isn't the time for your stories.

Then the last one.

The third Krishnappa.

Isn't he the maths teacher?

You think I don't know that?

Shut up now. My mind is on something else.

Go call him. Let's talk to him.

Somebody go to school and bring him here.

Moorane Krishnappa.

Madhu.

Recite the multiplication of 2.

2x1=2

2x2=

- Go on. - 4.

2x3=

- 6. - Hey Madhu

- Sir... - I taught you to count with your fingers.

But I also I told you to hide your hands in the pocket while doing so.

- Okay sir. - Go on count now,

- 2x4=8 - Very good.

2x5=

2x5=

2x5=

Silence!

Shucks!

So you counted that too!

You've been called to the panchayat office.

- Why Raghu? - No idea. Come soon.

- I'm in class. - Just come, the president wants to see you.

I can't. Tell him I'll come after I'm done here.

Why do you disturb me during class hours, Raghu?

When I return, the kids would've gone home.

Krishna, can you shut up? Always blabbering!

I'm a teacher, have some respect.

Speak politely dude.

Respect?

In the SSLC escom,

Exam.

Exactly what I said.

In the SSLC escom, you copied.

From the paper my girl Subbi passed for me...

Say thanks first. Respect my foot!

Who Subbi?

Kuntu Lakshmappa's daughter, the one who had 1/2 litre oil on her head and a runny nose.

Then why didn't you take that paper and copy?

Why did you give it to me?

I saw the paper she passed, Krishna.

I literally fainted trying to figure what was written!

Besides, you were next to me looking clueless.

So I did a favour by giving it to you.

So why have they called me to the panchayat?

So Mr Krishnappa teacher,

the whole village turned around when he asked me to fetch you.

It's urgent apparently. Why don't you go find out?

Wait. Let me have tea. Bro, one tea.

Here it is.

We're in a hurry and you're having tea?

Bro, tea cancel.

Bro, one tea.

It's right there. I just made it.

It looks like someone's had a sip already.

- Give me another one. - Nobody has touched it.

I will prove it by drinking it myself.

Sorry, give it,

Moron, it took you this long to get Krishnappa?

Despite warning that we'll be late, he insisted on having tea.

Krishnappa, I thought you at least had some sense.

So many people are waiting for you.

- And you were... - Shankara.

He's here now. Let it go.

Krishnappa, here's why we called you.

- The temple we've built... - Shankara...

Wait I'll explain in brief.

Krishnappa, we wanted to inaugurate the temple in five days.

You're aware of it.

For the function, I had booked actor Michael Madhu who's of our taluk.

He died today of a heart attack.

If we don't find a chief guest, those worms who lost against me, will rejoice.

It might hamper the upcoming elections too.

I heard you have many contacts in Bengaluru.

He said so.

Isn't it fella?

Now you must book someone.

The prestige of our village is at stake.

Everything is in your hands now.

Just do this. And I'll ensure I solve whatever problems you may have.

I promise.

Sir, I don't know anybody from films or politics.

But I have a friend called Nandish in Bengaluru.

He's a smart chap.

I'm sure he can do something.

Here's what I can do.

I'll get his number and call him up.

You go home and I'll meet you once I speak to him.

Krishnappa, I don't care what you do.
