Save the Tigers

Hey!

Show me your muscles, man!

-Hmm. -(Rahul gasps)

-(throws flying kiss) -(Rekha giggles)

Enough showing off. Just split the firewood now.

How was that?

Press harder.

You don't know how to hunt. Can't you even do this one job?

Huh?

-Hey! -Hmm!

Hmm!

Hey, if I ask him to go hunting,

he talks about fire and pots.

He keeps saying he will invent something new.

I should leave him

and find myself a good alpha male.

I mean, your man is better.

At least he does something useful.

Look at my man.

He writes nonsense on trees and stones.

And he wanders around like a jobless idiot. Hmph!

If I ask my man to hunt something for me,

he brings squirrels, rats and frogs. Hmph!

To whom should I tell my concerns?

Look.

Absolutely useless.

No, babe. I created a dance sequence. Do you want to see?

You join him.

Hey, change the dancing style!

Hey, why aren't you dancing properly? Can't you just watch them?

Hey, turn.

Let's go, let's go!

-(Hyma) Hey! -(women laughing)

-(Spandana) Hmm. -He's been spending time

with this woman since last month.

He's ignoring other women when they call him.

You're breaking our rules. You have to go with a woman when she calls you.

How's that possible? Don't I have feelings and emotions?

I love her.

I'll stay with her. I'll live in her hut.

Nobody can separate us.

Do whatever you want.

-(screw loosens, sword slashes) -(gasps)

-(Vijay grunts) -(rebel) No, no. Please don't.

Leave me alone. Please!

My dear women, nobody can ever do anything to us

until we stay united.

For women to continue ruling this place,

our praying should never stop.

Hail women power!

Hail women power!

-Hail women power! -Hail women power!

-Hail women power! -Hail women power!

-(people shuffling) -(dog barking)

Listen, it's almost festival time. This girl wants a bear skin skirt.

Hunt it down and get it.

Yes, Mummy. I want a skirt made from bear skin.

It's not an owl; it's a bear.

If I don't come back, all three of you will be left crying.

Aww, you don't worry about us.

There are a lot of alpha males around.

What difference does it make whether a coward like you returns or not?

Lucky beta.

-Say something, my darling. -(speaking gibberish)

See? This boy is almost six, yet he still can't talk.

That swami said he'll talk if he drinks the blood of a crocodile.

Go, get that.

Do you think it's donkey's milk? It's the blood of a crocodile!

I don't care. I don't know if you come back or not.

Get that blood by any means or else you're not allowed to enter my hut.

You coward.

Get inside, girl.

-Say something beta. -(blubbers gibberish)

Hey, I don't want you to drink crocodile's blood. Please say a word.

Wre...

That's it, boy.

Wretch, wretch, wretch, wretch...

What is that boy shouting?

What will he say? He barely knows how to talk.

Yeah, yeah. He doesn't talk. Keeping that aside.

If you forget to get a crocodile's blood and a bear's skin--

-Okay, I'll get it. All of it. -Okay, okay. Now, get lost.

-It's always the same with you. -(Ganta) You had to do that here!

Get away from here!

RAHUL LOVES TRISHA

We're all hunting here. What are you scratching on that rock, anna?

What is this, anna?

Did you see that? When a stone is rubbed against another stone,

it creates heat.

This is called knowledge.

-Who says that, anna? -I have a lot of knowledge,

but it's wrong for it to stay in my head.

I must pass it down to the next generation.

That's why I scratch all the rocks in this forest.

Oh!

After 1,000 years, it will be useful to the people of the future.

Who will use it and for what will they use it, anna?

Don't say that, Ganta anna. We're not hunters like the others.

We are creators. You know our Vikram bro?

-Yes. -Since his childhood,

he used to rub two stones together for hours and hours

until he created fire.

Because of that, we're eating meat by cooking it instead of eating it raw.

And me? I invented the idea of using stones for writing.

And you... you've invented how to squeeze milk from animals.

Don't you think this knowledge will light up our lives?

-(clicks teeth) Shit! -(stone rolls off)

What happened, Ganta anna?

Why are you so annoyed?

My girl said if I don't get her some bear's skin, she'll eat my liver.

I'm so sad, anna.

-I've done so much for her. -(melancholic music)

I gave all the boneless meat to her, and I ate only bones with no meat.

But you know what she says?

"Don't ask or say anything to me.

"You wash your skin. I'll wash mine!" And tells me to sleep outside, anna.

Yes, yes.

How will it work if she keeps doing that?

Whether in anger or annoyance, at least your girl is talking to you.

But my Madhuri tells me to blow out the light and sleep.

I mean, when I ask her to talk to me for just five minutes,

she says, "No, I have work."

After that, she goes into those hunters' huts, anna!

Since I can't do anything about it,

I come into the forest and perform scientific experiments.

-(music intensifies) -(warthog closes in)

-(shrieks) -Hey!

Why did you scare us, anna?

-My balls went numb. -Are you really a hunter?

Anna, what is this? It's so good.

Aha! I told you.

My head is spinning.

A few days ago, I felt these droplets falling on my head from a palm tree.

So, I stored it in a pot.

After drinking the whole pot, it blew me away.

-(Ganta snickering) -Watch it, watch it.

But, Vikramanna, it's no use if you invent fire or booze.

To stomp on and snatch control from these dominating women,

you need to invent something for that, anna.

Our lives should change in one shot.

Yes, Vikram bhaiya. Not only us, but no man should ever get sad

thinking that he's useless.

But... not a single woman should ever know

-that everything is under our control. -This! I want this, anna!

-It should be like that. -(snaps fingers)

-The system should change in one shot. -It should change.

Hey!

What is this, anna? Why did you even invent this?

Good things are invented by men, but they're all enjoyed by women.

-(music persists) -(women cheering)

Hey!

Remove this skin and wear four leaves. Go.

-Four leaves? -Go and wear it.

-(cackling) -(singing folk song)

Bro... can you give me four leaves?

-Disgusting! Don't you have any shame? -Don't say that, bro.

-At least give me two-- -Hey, I didn't mean banana leaves.

I meant four neem leaves.

Bro, give me four neem leaves.

-Hey, get lost! -Bro?

-Where can I find neem leaves now? -Did you even think about

what we discussed in the morning?

Yes, I did.

Anna, arrange for a secret meeting after the party.

My dear Homo Sapiens! Do you know why we invited you guys here?

It is to discuss the abolishment of matriarchy in this place!

We're the ones who hunt for food, we're the ones who build huts,

we're the ones who make the bed.

If those women ask us to go to them,

we go to them without complaining.

After all this, what do we have left?

Insult and embarrassment!
