Kathanam (కథనం)

Chaudhvin Ka Chand Ho song is played from the film Chaudhvin Ka Chand.

Das!

I only come once in a month.

And exactly he won't be around when I am here.

Hey!

Hey...

KATHANAM

-What do you want? -Hello.

I need to meet Dr. Anitha Kumari, the cardiologist.

Do you have any appointment?

I spoke to you over the phone about this.

Oh! Is that you?

-Yes. -I have already told you over the phone,

that it's not possible to meet the doctor without a prior appointment.

The matter is very serious.

Please understand that we cannot allow anyone to meet without any appointment.

Hmm! If diseases come with an prior appointment,

you would have to close all these hospitals.

Dhana, please go and wait in the lobby.

If you think you can take care of everything,

then why do you bring me here?

You may also leave madam, I need the prepare this bill, please.

-Please understand what I'm trying to say. -Hey, what is the problem here?

She wants to meet Dr. Anitha and she doesn't even have any appointment.

Doctor... it's an emergency.

Okay, I am going to the doctors chambers,

I'll find out and let you know if you can meet her. You may please sit.

-Thank you. -Okay.

Madam...

Huh?

Shift the patient to the ICU...

Okay.

and once the sedation wears out,

-inform me once. -Okay madam.

And I need to go out now,

so kindly cancel all the appointments for today.

You don't have any appointments,

but a lady wants to meet to you and is waiting outside the chamber, madam.

When I have already asked you to cancel all the appointments,

why do you still ask me? Please leave.

-Doctor. -Yes?

-Where is my injection? -Madam, it's there on your table.

-Okay you can go. -Okay madam.

Doctor?

Sorry, you cannot meet her today. Please come tomorrow.

Huh!

Madam, madam please wait.

Madam... what happened?

Madam get up!

Do you know any details about that lady?

I have no clue about her, but I did see a guy whose has accompanied her.

He's got to be around here.

-Shruti go and check. -Hmm...

Tell me...

Sir, no.

I'll not spare you.

Please send me home as soon as possible, am really getting scared here.

-Hey... show him our style. -Okay madam.

-Sir. -Sir.

ACP sir, they are beating me up.

Hey don't you know who I am? I am an MLA's son.

-You are not fit for... -Hey!

so who cares if you are an MLA's son?

What so great about your father? Lock him behind the bars.

Okay sir.

-Did you get the CCTV footage, Srikanth? -Yes, sir.

Laptop: No audio file is played.

A lady has come to meet you. She wants to meet you urgently it seems.

-Ask her to wait for 5 minutes. -Okay sir.

-Get the interrogation room ready... -Sir..

and also get the post mortem report.

-Okay? -Okay sir.

I hope you don't mind.

-It's okay. -Thank you.

You who have disappeared from the hospital?

May I know why did you show up here all of a sudden?

I had to come.

Why did you have to rush to meet the most popular doctor...

in the city without any prior appointment?

Though the hospital staff denied why did you have to push through them...

and what reason did you have to enter her cabin?

Exactly when you went to meet her,

she died at the time you entered her cabin!

-Miss? -Anu.

So can I assume that you have any relation with the murder?

Hmm... yes.

Can you elaborate it?

If you want to understand, you first need to know who I am and what I do.

Silence... silence... silence!

Why do you want to fight your own case?

Money sir, money.

If I had money why would I want to die?

Don't you know it's illegal to commit suicide?

Yes, I know sir.

For people who are filthy rich might have many stories.

But middleclass people like me all have the same story.

Life is full of obstacles.

Though we walk on the land we have our gaze high up on the sky.

We don't prefer to buy the 1 rupee per kilo rice at the ration shop,

and we can't afford to buy for rupees 50 kilo rice at the supermarket.

Most of the salary goes in paying the bills and EMI's.

Every month we keep borrowing and keep getting into trouble because of that.

What else do you think I can do than trying to commit suicide, sir?

After reviewing the entire case...

irrespective of how difficult it is to survive,

a person does not have the right to take his own life.

The accused is punished with a year of ordinary jail term under IPC section 309.

Also, orders are passed to the police that...

...she is given counselling by physiologists during her jail term.

-Ah! -Sorry... sorry sir.

Cut it!

-Anu! -Sir?

Sir...

-Who is that fellow? -Umm...

He looks like a stick and doesn't even seem to know how to hold the baton.

Make the hero say all the dialogues you have just said.

Sure sir.

Replay once...

Hey... What did Maruti sir say?

Hmm... He asked me to take you off your role.

Oh, so my plan has worked out!

-What plan? -Then what!

You told me that... I will have to play one scene with three dialogues.

But here its only one dialogue which I have to say three times.

Rama Rao... Rama Rao... Rama rao!

Hey, you need to take up these small roles to grow in your film career.

It isn't that way, once you play a certain kind of role,

you will be chosen for the same kind of roles forever.

You don't believe me? Wait, let me prove that to you. Come with me.

What man?

Uncle can you please come here once.

What's you name Uncle? -Koteshwara Rao.

Nice name.

For how long have you been doing the same 'police constable' role?

For the past 30 years

Even a real police constable in his job would have retired by now,

you may leave.

Sharat sir, if you don't mind, please come here once.

What's it man?

In how many languages have you acted till day?

Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, Hindi, Bhojpuri and recently in English too.

So in all languages, you have played the role of a judge, right?

Yes, of course.

What is your famous dialogue sir?

Order... order... order.

-Court is adjourned sir. You may leave. -Oh you silly!

Okay now tell me,

if I keep playing these small roles, can I ever dream of becoming a hero?

Go to hell,

-I have to explain this scene to the hero. -Okay, go.

Excuse me, she doesn't know how to value a friend

and all she wants is be an popular director it seems.

-Sir, please remove this costume. -What?

Why?

Director has asked me to play your character now.

-He asked you to play this role? -Yes.

Go, go and...

Take this and keep saying Ramarao... Ramarao... Ramarao.

Nobody will come up in your life... Damn it!

Why did you put the alarm? When we have no shooting today.

Why don't you let me sleep peacefully?

Please make some coffee for me, I need to go and meet Babu.

What! You need to meet Babu?

Hmm... make some coffee man!

You are so lucky!

You are making the future hero make coffee for you. Great!

-For me too... -What?

Coffee... with Anu.

Anu, aunty is asking for the house rent.

Uncle I am going to meet Babu to narrate my story.

Once back, I shall pay you the rent.

Once back home doesn't means... she will pay once she returns home.

It means that if they pay advance and then we will pay the rent.

Oh my god! What is my situation now?

The one who owns a house has to give it for rent

and the one who rents it never pays the rent.

That's the way it is... one should not feel sad for what cannot be averted.

Don't know man,

I just don't understand anything.

If you need to understand the Geeta, you need have some liquor at night.

Don't know how much money he have?

My bad fate, my fate.

It's hard to maintain you than my wife.

-Darling... -Yes, coming,

And she doesn't want to understand that I am tired...

Hey go, go, I know your wife is calling to wash the clothes...

-Yeah come along and wash the clothes. -Oh no!

I need to go to meet Babu, which means I need to get ready.

Hey Dhana, be careful with you behaviour in front of Babu.

But just one selfie, please!

Okay. But don't put your arm around him or anything like that.

Once I take a picture with Babu and post it on Instagram, Facebook and twitter,

then I can have so many followers.

Mr. Babu has asked me to come.

Oh is that you, who has come to narrate a story?

-Yes. -Please wait.

When you were saying Babu, Babu, I thought it would be Mahesh Babu...

but it is Sampoornesh Babu?

-Hi... -Hi sir.

Who is that guy, wearing a shirt over a T-shirt?
