Pochamma (పోచమ్మ)

'AN ESTATE NEAR ARAKU'

There are so many people here.

Someone should have taken care of her, right?

Shanthi, how did Jessi end up there?

We locked it, right?

Sir!

Please don't sir.

Sir…

all of this is happening…

because of your Goddess Pochamma’s curse, right?

Yes!

Just be quiet, Raghupathi!

What does Pochamma have to do with my daughter Jessi falling like that?

And you..don’t spin tales about your goddess and her curse.

I’m not stupid enough to believe this nonsense.

Brain hemorrhage,

skull fracture...

We couldn't save her.

FEW DAYS EARLIER

Hey...

Stop it.

Stop it.

Stop...

Sir!

I beg of you.

Sir, please don’t take down Pochamma’s idol…

Her curse is not a good thing.

That idol looks out of place in front of this bungalow…

Hey, you guys..remove it.

Okay sir.

Hey...

Stop it!

Stop it!

Listen to what I'm saying!

Sir...

I beg of you.

Sir… don’t remove Pochamma’s idol.

'PRESENT'

Hey, stop. - Hey, stop.

Hey, stop.

Hey, stop.

You can't catch me.

Hey, stop.

Hey, Get up.

Get up.

Where the hell did you all come from?

We took such good care of you… didn’t we?

You’re the one responsible for my sister’s death…

I'll kill you!

Madam, please stop it. Madam please...

I didn't do anything. - Madam...

You killed her.

I didn't do anything. - Madam...

Why did you do it like this?

Madam!

Will you stop this nonsense?

Go.

Sir...

my sister, Jessi.

Explain in detail what happened on the day of your anniversary party.

Good morning, Dad.

Good morning.

Happy Anniversary.

How is it?

Wow, it's very nice, Dad.

Thank you, Dad.

Good morning, Uncle.

Good morning.

David, see the gift Dad gave me.

God bless you, my dear.

How is it?

I want an unforgettable gift for this anniversary.

Mom...

are you busy?

Tell me, Jessi.

Mom, I need to tell you something.

Who have you come to file a complaint against today?

Hey, did you clean the bathroom?

Yes, madam, I did.

If you don't complain about someone every day,

you won't be able to sleep, right?

That's not it, Mom.

You go.

Okay.

What actually happened is…

Whatever it is… I’m not in the mood to listen today.

I bought you a skirt…

just wear it, smile like a Barbie doll, and have a good time at the party,

Okay?

Let’s plan for a baby this year, David…

Eva...

Come here.

Come here for a moment.

What's wrong?

Why is Jessi crying?

I don't know.

What does Jessi have to do with the estate manager’s son?

I don’t know about that…

but she doesn’t just look like she’s crying.

There’s anger in her eyes.

Maybe something’s going on between them…

I think he’s troubling her.

No suresh.

I need to tell my sister, no matter what.

Hey!

What happened?

Why are you upset?

Nothing, sister.

If it's nothing, why are you crying?

Hey! - Sister!

What did you do?

What are you talking about?

Nothing.

What if it’s nothing…?

Did you two just come here for no reason?

Something is happening between you two.

Why are you standing so close to her?

You're doing something.

Are you following her?

What do you want? - Sister!

Sister!

Stop!

No, it’s nothing like that.

If it’s not like that… then what is it?

You’re nothing but a dog working here…

You survive on the food we throw at you…

And if you dare step into our house and eat like you own it…

Get out!

They’re just middle class…

it’s better we keep our distance.

It's not like that, sister. - Jessi!

Do you even know what happened?

Don't give me any explanation.

I just want you to be happy… that’s all.

Stay away from these shitty people.

Take care.

Sister...

I would like to make a toast.

Honestly, finding a wife like Eva is my good fortune.

I'm so lucky to have Eva in my life.

I love you Eva.

Hi, everyone!

Jessi, why did you go there?

It's not safe. Jessi, come down.

Suresh,

bring her down. Go. - Yes, sir.

Not Suresh...

David...

You go.

No one should come…

I’m happy here alone.

Why did you go there?

Come down.

Because... I have to be above all of you.

Jessi!

Eva...

Happy Anniversary!

I love you, Mom!

Dad...

I love you.

I love you, everybody!

Jessi!

Until the investigation is complete, no one should leave the village.

Hey Suresh,

you need to come to the station every day, sign in, and then you can leave.

Madam!

So...

you’re saying he’s responsible for Jessi’s death?

At the time she fell,

he was with you at the party… wasn’t he?

I'm not saying he went and pushed her to kill her, sir.

But he is the reason she made that decision...

He mentally harassed her...

and drove her to her death.

Madam… we’ll find out everything in the inquiry.

But you must not hit Suresh or torture him.

Okay sir.

Suresh.... - Sir!

Regarding that girl's death...? - I am not the reason, sir.

Because...

because I loved her very much, sir.

The Lord is my shepherd;

I shall not want.

He makes me lie down in green pastures.

He leads me beside still waters.

He restores my soul.

He leads me in paths of righteousness

for her name’s sake

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil.

For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

The girl who was with us yesterday is no more today.

To lose a life at just 23...

this is surely the curse of Mother Pochamma.

They are paying the price today for the mistake made back then.

Mother Pochamma will not rest until her vengeance is complete.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life,

and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

May her peace be upon us.

May her guidance lead us always. And may we rest in her grace forever.

Amen.
