Kalki (కల్కి)

After the independence of India...

Those were the days when the independent kingdoms were incorporated into Indian union.

The Nizam of Hyderabad opposed this proposal...

He sent forth the Razakars to destroy the Hindu provinces, temples and wealth to protect his kingdom.

It was under the Nizam’s rule.

Kollapur was a province nestling in the deepest of the Nallamala forest by the banks of River Krishna.

Raja Balakishan Rao was the king of the province.

Rajaratnam was his minister and confidante...

while Narsappa was a jackal eyeing the throne.

That day the king was in the temple of Lord Narasimha.

Offered a diety to the Lord with sandal paste available only in Nagulakona.

The Razakars attacked the temple at the opportune time with the help of Narsapppa.

While they were demolishing the temple…

He went to stop them…

The king lost his life fighting them.

With the entry of the police, the Nizam surrendered.

The country was facing the elections for the first time.

Cunning Narsappa contested as MLA of Kollapur.

Rajaratnam was aware of Narsappa’s evil ways,

He convinced Ramachandramma and made her contest against Narsappa.

In spite of all the political games played by Narsappa,

we had elected Ramachndramma as our MLA.

She treated the people equal to her son.

‘She built schools and hospitals…

She was an exemplary leader.

Revengeful Narsappa...

Found a pawn in Rajaratnam’s wayward son, Perumandlu.

Taking him under his influence,

Narsappa emptied the treasury with the help of Perumandlu and set fire to the royal palace, Rajamahal.

Our hopes and desires turned to ashes along with Rajaratnam and Ramachandramma.

Using Perumandlu and violence as weapons,

Narsappa has become an autocratic leader of Kollapur.

We don’t own our lands.

We don’t have rights on our food.

We have no rights over our women.

Perumandlu was hand in glove with Narsappa for 30 years.

But because of political differences he filed his nomination against Narsappa.

Together they had sent quite many to the grave.

Now that they are separated, they are turning this town into a grave yard.

This is our village story.

Is there no one to question this injustice?

There is one guy, Narsappa’s brother Sekharbabu.

He finished his studies in city recently and returned.

He's our only hope for peace in future.

The 'Draupadi Vastrabaranam' drama by Shri Sarada Vijaya Natyamandali will begin shortly..

The third part of drama is about to begin.

It’s about to start…

Let’s go or we won’t find place in the front row.

It’s the same old Draupadi and the same old disrobement. Sit down.

This topic is good, tell me more about it.

- I'm leaving. - Hey. Hello...

Grandpa! Please complete the story.

Grandpa!

I will end your dignity.

You should be stripped.

The legendary defeaters of the epic.

I'm a woman and an orphan.

When the righteousness ends...

People simply watch and say nothing...

Grandpa…

Krishna saved Draupadi.

It would've been good if he had finished Kauravas.

There won't be 'Kurukskhetra' if he did so.

Krishna's policy is to stand by righteous but not slaying.

Krishna...

He was right here. Where did he disappear?

Greetings.

Ramulu! The toddy shop is burnt, right?

Why are you getting worried?

It wasn't just the toddy shop.

Sekhar babu.

Sekhar babu…

Narsappa’s younger brother Sekhar babu?

Reports confirm that Sekhar babu is dead.

'Akashvani, Hyderabad'

Welcome to the evening news...

Kollapur MLA Narsappa's brother Sekhar Babu was brutally murdered...

Violence between the two communities has been growing.

Priest! Who are these people? What's happening here?

Narsappa's men are killing Permandlu's men.

Police force is trying to control the situation

Who must have done that?

MLA must have did it.

Who else? That guy from the east.

Guy from the east?

Perumandlu

Narsappa ignored Perumandlu ever since Sekharbabu came here.

Perumandlu got enraged from that moment.

This is a good chance, finished him.

Do you know who killed Sekharbabu?

Ghost? The curse won't be gone unless the person who killed her is dead.

Until then these murders won't stop.

Who?

She is the queen Ramachandramma.

Ramachandramma

They're killing all our men...

No one survived.

You too should escape.

Why should I escape?

This is my place.

I'm ready to face anyone.

These are the consequences if you rebel against Narsappa

I've killed your men and now I'll sacrifice you to my brother.

Catch him before he escapes from the forest.

Damn!

What kind of a place is this?

Are they human or evil?

Oh my god!

Instead of covering the fair Why are you bothered about investigation?

I've got used to messing up with dangerous things...

I would rather live on stone soup than die here now.

If I stay longer, someone is gonna kill me for sure.

I will just leave. I will go home.

Where are you going at this hour, Sir?

Where are you hurrying late at night?

I am going back to my town. I'm leaving for good.

The last bus of the day left an hour ago.

My life sucks!

If I ever take up such assignments again, I'm gonna slap myself.

Damn!

: Who is it?

Sir.

You got a trunk call from Hyderabad.

Hey!

Tell me the truth.

Is it a trunk call or has someone came to meet me?

Prime Minster Indira Gandhi came seeking your advice on national development.

You!

Sir, are you coming? Or shall I tell them you already passed out drinking?

Hello!

Hello!

Hello!

Hello!

It’s me, your editor.

Sir! Please tell me.

What took you so long?

I was designing my obituary page, Sir.

How is it coming along?

Stop kidding, Sir. You have sent me to a dangerous place.

Healthy man in the morning here will be a dead body by the end of the day.

That's how journalism is.

You should be ready to risk your life.

Risking life?

Nasty guy!

I should live in the first place to risk my life, Sir.

My grandma always used to caution me.

'How can you become a crime reporter being afraid of the dark?'

I never listened.

You took up this murder case against my advice.

Your actual job begins tomorrow.

Sir! Sir! Sir! Please, Sir! I can't do it, Sir!

I would rather return to Hyderabad and criticize a bad film

or review a lost match, please sir!

Fine, then!

Forget about your promotion.

I don't care about the promotion anymore.

I can't stay here even if you offer me the company.

Oh no! It's Sekhar babu.

Bloody snake bit the little kid.

Please hurry up!

It's Narsappa's meeting, we can't do anything...

God is your only hope.

Poor kiddo!

Oh ho! How come we are stuck like this?

I'm getting late for my bus Isn’t there any other way?

Sit down, Sir!

There is no space even to budge.

They killed a very good person...

Wonder who killed him.

They killed and tied him to the tree.

I'll kill the person who murdered Sekhar.

Narsappa is here.

Narsappa.

- Sekhar Babu! - Long live!

- Sekhar Babu! - Long live!

- Sekhar Babu! - Long live!

God took away the good guy and left the demon.

I was suggested to install my brother’s statue in the temple.

God confined to four walls doesn’t come out to look after his people.

But Sekhar lived for the people.

That’s why I put up his statue here in public.

I shall not spare the man who killed him whether for power or for spite.

Right here.

I shall bury him right here at the feet of my brother.

A police officer was abducted and killed by twenty Naxalites six months ago?

I also know those twenty were shot down by another police officer.

The government is sending the same officer to Kollapur for investigating the murder.

Greetings, Sir!

I am Yadagiri, S.I, Sir!

I have heard a lot about your greatness, Sir.

You got a long list of encounter killings, Sir!

I'm very happy to meet you, Sir!

I have done the whole preliminary investigation, Sir.

It was confirmed that the bodies belonged to Sekhar Babu and his men.

I have ordered for the forensic and postmortem reports, Sir.

Did you order tea?

No, Sir.

Hey, where are you going?

- I have to go inside. - You cannot.

- Why not? - You can't! That's it.
