A PARUCHURI VIJAYA PRAVEENA ARTS production

How can you be a god?

I'm the one who created you.

Instead of helping me, you are helping the whole village.

You are trying to take Savitri from me, aren't you?

You are trying to destroy me, aren't you?

You are not my god as I believed...

You are my demon.

'NAGAMANI TIFFIN CENTER'

Where's my money?

I will repay.

For only 20,000 loan I paid over 40,000 with interest on interest.

Haven't I settled my debt yet?

How can it be settled?

That half acre land near the river is still in your name.

What! That's dowry for my grand-daughter's marriage!

Why does she have to get married?

Instead of doing chores here, she will do it at someone else's house.

The work will make her sweat even when naked.

Just let her do those chores here...

I will make her sweat.

Have you ever been satisfied?

No?

Do you know what 'getting satisfied' means?

It means--

Do you eat food or sh...? Butt face!

You're taking a pound of flesh for their loans! You're extorting them!

Why don't you beg at Sai Baba's temple to get their money?

At least with their alms, you will get their blessings.

Watch your mouth, I'll slap you silly, you idiot.

Brother, people are cursing us like this when I go to collect.

Everyone acts meek in front of you.

But, they curse ME when you turn your back.

They act innocent when they borrow but act helpless when its time to repay.

I can't deal with this, brother.

Wait till I play four shows in my recording dance studio.

Where's the money?

Then I will be the one to loan you.

Parvateswar Rao's 20,000. Kobara Sandhu Kanaka Durga's 5,000.

Kollapalla Subbarao's 20,000. Bangaraju's 8,000. Killiranna's 5,000.

- Altogether 58,000. - He said he didn't pay?

What? He forgot?

No wonder you didn't grow beyond this dinky shop.

Remember, you gave me the money last night when you closed the shop?

Yes, yes!

Do something for that memory of yours.

Brother, will you join us for 'Gang Leader' cinema today?

Ouch! Such a useless bike.

How many times do I have to tell you?

Chuck this crappy bike or fix the stand.

Don't you dare speak about my bike. I'll cut out your tongue.

I would rather let go of the loan money, not this bike.

If you don't want to let it go, tie it to your ass and run around. I don't care.

What am I asking, what are you telling?

If I sell the rice bags at that rate, what will I have left?

What, you dare question me?

'REDDY'S RICE MILL'

Sorry sir. If there were good harvests, why would I dare ask?

There's no harvest this year, so I had to.

Brother, how is it possible? How?

Just now, I was thinking how to meet Savitri.

And you brought me here.

Brother, you are my god.

You are my god...

Ey, cut it!

Stop over-acting like a fool.

I'll greet the old man and come. This better not move.

Brother!

What is it?

You are becoming forgetful these days.

If this continues, someone just might steal your money.

Take pity on this poor farmer, sir.

We don't measure grams and kilos here.

Just trucks and bags.

I might consider if there's a shortage of trucks....

- Not when there's shortage of bags. - Sir, greetings!

- Hey, Gandubabu! - Sir?

What is this, first thing in the morning?

What's the point of hiring you, if every dumbass can walk in?

Idiots!

See what Srinu wants. Go, see him!

Srinu, come here.

Sir, greetings!

Didn't you say that already? Do you think I'm deaf?

What's going on there?

Just great, one idiot has another idiot in tow.

- What do you want? - Nothing, sir.

I wanted to talk to you about this.

Can you read? Why don't you put on your glasses?

- This is the court notice. - Yes, sir.

Looks good.

A court notice is what you get when you dig up land like a bandicoot.

Hoping for hidden treasure chests under the ruse of searching for water.

True, sir.

I am a bandicoot!

Let me be like that. Don't make me a human by sending such court notices.

No one is performing rituals and prayers here to make you a human.

What do you want?

Sir, if that Landowner sent this court notice, I would have spoken with him.

But YOU made him send this. So I came to speak to you.

Go ahead. Talk to me!

I don't know about water, but our land definitely has precious stones.

If you allow me to continue the digging, I will cut you in.

What do you say?

So, now a bandicoot is propositioning a human?

Once my ancestors owned all the land here...

But they left me with just fifty acres, this rice mill and the house.

This is my life.

Now let's talk about yours...

When your father moved here from Chennai, you used to clean the crap off my slippers.

Now, you've turned into a big savior.

A hotshot! By lending money to poor jackasses at high interest rates.

Now, you've come to cut ME a deal?

Once upon a time I did clean the crap of your feet...

Probably, a day will come when you'll have to wash mine.

Watch it, I will rip out your tongue.

Rags and riches are like day and night.

They don't always stay at one place.

You have seen my bad times, maybe it's time I see yours.

What the hell are you talking? Do you know where you are?

You scoundrel, get lost.

Leave!

I'll come back when your blood pressure cools down.

Don't you dare come back.

Lakshmi!

Is she the one I've been ogling all this time?

The jingle of those bangles, anklets...

I thought it was Savitri. Stupid me!

Savitri madam!

Namaskaram!

Hey, Ramakrishna!

Why do you let him say namaste all the time...

Why don't you tell your grandfather and get him beaten up?

Yeah, right! As if I don't know that already.

I did this ten years ago and complained to my grandfather.

It was my grandfather who started this nonsense.

Namaskaram, miss.

Hey, Ramakrishna!

'There's a little maiden, full of grace, she seems so unique, in her own way.'

'Her beauty surpasses all bounds, and my eyes find joy in her every glance.'

'The stars align, and destiny plays, bringing her closer to me each day.'

'Now it's time to seal our fate, with celebrations grand and ornate.'

'Oh, Ranganayaki, our playful queen, the lively charm of our village scene!'

'Oh, Ranganayaki, with all your flair, you light up the world with your joyful air!'

How dare you buy my grand daughter cotton candy everyday?

Kneel!

Tell her 'namaskaram'.

'The maiden has five slender curves. This maiden has six charming swerves.'

'Oh, how far do they go? Oh, how high do they flow?'

'The maiden has four glowing eyes. This maiden has seven that mesmerize.'

'Oh, how far do they go? Oh, how high do they flow?'

'The maiden's mid holds twelve treasures, add three, it's a feast of pleasures.'

'When the box is opened, eleven remain, nine it craves, again and again.'

'Even the stars shift their fate, joining hands with her destined mate.'

'Now, what more do I need or desire? This bond is all that I require.'

'Oh, Ranganayaki, our quirky queen, the talk of the town, vibrant and keen!'

'Oh, Ranganayaki, full of mystique, we'll count the quirks, they're so unique!'

'Hey, fool, what's all this fuss?'

'No one knows what he's up to... no one, not us.'

'Stop cursing, woman; he's not mocking you. He's praising you.'

'Hey, someone, explain this riddle, my friend.'

'What's the fifth sign of the maiden's zodiac trend?'

'Capricorn. Capricorn, stubborn and sly, a quirky crocodile in disguise!'

'And what's the sixth sign of the maiden's grace?'

'Aquarius, Aquarius, beauty in a vase.'

'What's the fourth sign for Virgo? Sagittarius, a bow and arrow.'

'What's the seventh sign for Virgo? Compassion, Meenakshi full of compassion.'

'When you compare her sleek waist, the twelfth one is Leo.'

'With just a glance, you strike me, the third sign is Scorpio.'

'The eleventh one is Cancer, the ninth one, Taurus.'

'The tenth sign says, "Come to her wealth," and let our wedding happen.'

'Ranganayaki, Ranganayaki! A sign of beauty, Ranganayaki.'

'Ranganayaki, Ranganayaki! Oh, she's arrived, Ranganayaki.

'Ranganayaki, Ranganayaki! A sign of beauty, Ranganayaki.'

'Ranganayaki, Ranganayaki! Oh, she's arrived, Ranganayaki.

Make sure you get that water tank tender for me.

I'll take care of the Landowner like I said.

Does 'he' know that you put the tender?

Who?

Him!

Sir!

What are you doing with him?
