You must love...
Downloaded from Primes.ng
I won't be going to work from tomorrow, Grandma.
Why? What's wrong, dear?
Yashodamma, can you get me a cup of coffee?
Sure, Madam. - Add enough sugar.
Make sure it isn't bland.
Okay, Madam. Please don't get angry.
Let me get it for you.
What's the point in reading such good-for-nothing books?
What book is useful any way?
You mean those old books?
Let me know if you're not interested in reading it out.
I'll read it out for you.
Care to listen?
Okay.
Father told me that you wrote these books when you were still in service.
Is that true?
Is this the one, Grandma?
Or is it this one?
Is this the one?
Which one is it, Grandma?
This one?
Grandma?
Is this the one?
THE...
HUNT...
BEGINS.
Incinerating every breath of relief from within.
Enduring the grains of exploitation by taking a bite of it.
Caressing wounds with pain.
Don't you burn and blister in the darkness of impurity.
Don't you evade the sword, only to succumb to the flowers.
When you are capable of swimming against the tides of the ocean
...don't you drown in your tear of misery and suffer.
The moment you've been waiting for, is finally here.
Get going!
Bring it over. I'll read it for you.
Compassion isn't for the imbeciles.
Forgiveness isn't for the unworthy.
You are a weapon that was created for mass-destruction.
You are the animal growling in the eye of the hunter.
Become the cleaver in the hand of a butcher.
Become a roar that will slit through hearts.
Become the instrument of death.
Death is the ultimate judgement for the evil.
There you go, Grandma.
Grandma, what is this story called?
Wait! Look over there! Stop everyone!
Do you want another one, Sir? - No need, dear.
How long do you plan to make a living out of performing acrobatics on the streets?
Come along with me.
I'll make you my keep.
Sir! Please let us go.
Ay!
Before Seena stacks up everyone in the truck, accept my offer.
Get them inside.
How many are there? - Four of them, Sir.
Make sure you get more people the next time.
Sure, Sir. I shall leave. - Keep moving.
How many are there?
One.. Two.. Three.. Four.
Get more women the next time.
Expecting vile things to happen to vicious people is foolishness.
In today's world, it's the sinners who're ruling the roost.
Sir! - What?
Take this charity cow along.
Feel free to keep the calf with you.
Instead of taking me to my mother's place, why did you bring me here?
My dear cupcake!
They're here to take good care of you during your pregnancy.
Sir! Keep this wretched woman as a slave...
Get lost!
Instead, give me some money.
Get her in the vehicle.
No way! I'm not coming.
How could you send me as a bonded labourer?!
I'm not going.
You drunkard!
It is against Giriayya's principle to force someone into becoming a labourer.
If you need money, get your wife to agree.
Accept it!
Look at them buy and sell humans out in the open,
...as if they're dealing with livestock.
Looks like there's no man alive to put an end to Giriayya's atrocities.
Oh no! Please don't mind my words.
I was cursing the dimwit men of our village.
You're an outsider.
How could I blame you?
I wonder who'll finish Giriayya.
Ten years ago, he was a mere supervisor who hired labourers for construction work.
He hired ruffians and bought people for change money.
He would send them to coffee estates and quarries as bonded labourers.
He minted loads of money.
Today, he's a different man altogether.
That savage has bought the law.
Yet, I've never seen the man bravely wander the streets.
Lingi, go on and sing a sonnet praising my bravery.
Brother, I beg you.
We are the Children of God. - Really?
We can't sing sonnets about humans.
The Lord would get upset with us.
Please! Let us go!
I'll kick you right in your guts.
Brother! Please let us go.
Agree to it!
Brother, please let him go. - Lingi?
Just accept it!
No! Don't do this! - Get up now!
Come along now!

Brother, please don't harm him.
Let him go! I fold my hands and beg you.
Spare him!
Remember...
The power of risking her own life to give birth to another, lies only with a woman.
Without her...
The world will neither procreate nor radiate.
The pride with which you claim to be a man, comes only because of a woman's existence.
Yet, you're out displaying your machismo to such a woman.
If a woman's silent, it doesn't mean that she's weak.
Because if she retaliates just like Goddess Ganga did,
...her force is unstoppable, even for Lord Shivappa.
Please don't.
Come on now!
Ramaa Madam!
Please! Let him go!
He'll die right here. Listen to me, Madam!
What do you want me to do instead of slaughtering
...these scoundrels who force people into slavery?!
If you want to end this, kill Giriayya first.
Listen to me, Ramaa Madam!
Madam, before we arrived.
It was he who thrashed them all.
Who are you?
What's your name, girl?
Kanaka.
Who is he?
Who is this man?
He refuses to mingle with others.
He's a lone tusker who walked out of the herd!
His madness and wrath are uncontrollable.
He's my father, Vedha.
What's in that sack?
What have you kept this for?
Is this to beat up someone who troubles you?
No matter who troubles you...
Without giving it a second thought, feel free to use it against them.
Where to, brother? - Please drop me by the old tree.
Get in.
Somebody save me!
Don't do this!
I will not spare you!
Get up!
I shall not spare you!
I will kill you!
Sir, there's a power cut.
It might take a while for the power to return.
Oh God! Sir!
The shop's on fire.
Go and take a look at it!
Okay, sir. Come on guys!
Ay!
Who are you?
What did you want?
Looks like you've lost your way.
Speak up.
What do you want?
You want me, huh?
Are you here all alone?
Vedha?!
Kanaka?!
He's dead.
He's finally dead!
The news that you both killed Rudra...
Has caught the attention of the entire village.
What a monstrosity they've committed!
Who did this? - A girl!
A girl.
He was with her. - Who was it?
He was..
He was nothing short of a blistering cannon!
I was scared to blink worrying that he would kill me.
Those eyes!
The anger burning bright.
The hunt those two carried out...
Vedha!
Kanaka!
How can you be so sure that it was them?
Before that stone turned into a weapon, I'd already gotten familiar with it.
Without giving it a second thought, feel free to use it against them.
They should not get past this village.
Your work in this village is done.
Shirli's next.
Leave.
Is that Girija Madam?!
Greetings Madam!
Madam, Criminal lawyer Girija is coming. - Who?
Lawyer Girija is an undefeated mistress.
Thank you for the introduction.
The undefeated mistress.
Years ago, I was drowning in failure.
Today, victory stands guard at my doors.
Madam, the thing is... - Govindayya.
Okay, Madam.
What did the man lying inside say, Ramaa?
A lot of questions remain unanswered.
I will not spare the guilty.
I'll show them what the Police are capable of.
If they managed to barge into the Police station and slaughter him...
It's time you learn about them.
I already do.
I also know that you're here because you already know them.
Vedha... He's my client.
Sorry. He was my client.
But now.. The hunt has begun.
None of you can stop him.
Peace is an illusion.
Violence is the reality.
Not even God can alter their fate.
Because time has yearned for this war.
Therefore, time stands by this war.
Vedha...
He knows no fear.
He knows not how to forgive.

Stop the cart! - Yeah?
Isn't that Beera?
What's he doing with the keys to the temple at this hour?
Shouldn't it be with the priest?
What is he doing with it?
Let's go!
Vedha, I highly commend your act.
Every village needs a commander like you.
You tell us now.
What should we do with this crook?
Sinners like him shouldn't be spared.
His head should be shaved and he should be paraded across the village on a donkey.
What rubbish!
What sin did the donkey commit to carry the weight of this sinner?
His stealing hands should be chopped off. - You're right.
Son of a gun!
So, it was you who was looting from all the villages around, eh?
What is it?! - Ay!
What's with the attitude?
You couldn't capture a blockhead like him.
Instead, you chose to accuse my villagers of stealing and caused a rampage here.
What kind of a mix-breed wimp must you be?!
Sire here didn't give a damn about the women or the aged or the kids.
He bossed over us just because he has power in his hands.
I should've been in the village on that day.
This village would've been your place of death in your biography.
Apologise to the entire village.
Why should I?!
All those who have wronged must apologise.
Apologise! - Sir, don't confront him.
You don't know him.
You need to live today, to see another day.
Apologise. Quickly.
Fine then.
I apologize.
Don't dish out your garbage in front of me.
Fold your damn hands and bow down!
Sir, just do it.
I wasn't in my senses.
I apologise.
Get lost!
Keep walking! Clearly you woke up facing the wrong direction.
Go tell your wife to pray for you!
Get in the jeep! - Oh no!
Please let him go! - Oh god!
Please don't take our boy. - Let him go, Sir.
What wrong did he do? - What did you get into?
Please don't take him.
You guys have ruined my granddaughter's life!
How could you get the groom arrested on the day of his marriage?
His wedding?! - May you all be destroyed!
You will suffer!
Lady! Why are you screaming your lungs out?!
He's facing the consequences of his action!
Did we just ruin a woman's life?
Apparently a woman's curse will linger on until we're buried.
Considering how we messed up...
It doesn't look like you'll get married in this lifetime.
Really? - Nope.
None of you will prosper! - Quit shrieking like a donkey!
[INDISTINCT COMMOTION]
Sankari! Look over there!
Everyone! Look!
What?! - Dear God!
Sankari! Stop!
[COMMOTION ENSUES]
Stop right there!
Everyone! Behave!
Quit quarrelling!
Let's sit down and sort it out!
No task is big when discussed patiently.
If someone from my village tied the knots with your daughter. Would you spare him?
The wives of the crooks are destined to be widows!
If that girl had married Beera, the thief.
Her life would be in ruins.
The chief has reigned the wild donkeys!
What can't Vedha do?
He toils hard in the fields.
Every year, he grows Jasmine in ten acres of land.
No matter how hard you pry, you won't find a vice in him.
He is a gem of a person who believes and lives by the principle of loyalty!
Your girl must be lucky to have married him. Remember!
The entire village is praising you while you're standing like a scare crow.
What do you have to say?
Will you take good care of our daughter?
I.. I.. I will. - There you go.
WHAT THE HELL!
A stutterer!
Pushpa, you're doomed! You've got a stutterer for a husband!
Vedha! I feel like ripping this oldie's throat apart!
Ay! What's wrong with my boy?!
Fine! When he's angry or nervous, his speech takes a while to buffer!
That is all. Rest of the times. He's perfect to go.
What's done is done.
Whether he bickers or stutters, it can't be undone now.
Do you accept this alliance?
My fate has ruined me! I accept!
Listen everyone, as per our traditions...
Come to our village.
Complete the rituals and take your daughter-in-law home.
What's up, Vedha Sir? Heading in this direction?
Heard you tied the knots.
I'd thought really high of you!
You're a dimwit too!
Hey toothpick! Why would you say that?
Tell me this, Daya.
Just because a dessert tastes good, would anyone take up a job at the bakery?
Eventually the smell of the dessert will make you nauseous!
If it's good, you take another bite of it.
Why would you start working at the store?
I hope a mongrel feeds on your face!
Do you think our brother here is a stray cow to graze into others' pastures?!
Shut your trap and cut four tickets to Neerghatta!
Give me the money.
Like I care! Deal with it yourself.
Well well well...
Welcome home, Instant Son-in-law!
What a huge mob you're here with!
Welcome! - Vedha...
They're putting us in our place the moment we stepped in.
Whatever happened to him being the dear son of your village?!
Yet in all glory, I only see four of you.
The presence of us four is as good as the entire village being here.
Well! What if you four conk off?!
Does that mean the entire village has conked off?!
I have a long life ahead. - Where are you running to?
Quiet now.
All the worms in our stomach died after we kept them hungry, waiting for you.
Freshen up and hurry! Have your lunch.
Vedha, let's not do this. - Shush! Come on.
Sankari. Eat!
Nope. - Why?
How do we trust them?
What if they've poisoned the food?
To hell with your words!
Instead of chanting the God's name at this age, you're thinking of the Satan.
We're not a vicious clan that poisons its guests.
I can't trust you. - Yeah, right!
A stray dog will only sniff through garbage!
Our family is eating the same food as yours.
Aren't they humans? Pipe down and eat!
You eat! - Sankari.
Why are you ruining our reputation? Eat your food.
No need. I'll stay hungry.
I still have a long way to live! - God knows how much longer that is!
Shut up and eat!
Sankari, let's not do this.
Son-in-law, it's your first night. Rock it!
We'll talk in the morning.
Son-in-law, the snacks are kept only because it's a custom.
Instead of getting to work, don't end up snacking on them.
Finally! It's your first night, Vedha!
Go ahead and win it like a brave warrior!
Are you sending him to war? - Bonehead!
This is also like a war too.
You think sleeping next to your wife is a cakewalk?
It's like climbing up and down two coconut trees.
Sankari, I'm scared.
This chapter can't be taught.
How's that possible? - That is how it is.
Only if you dive into the water, can you swim in it.
Our Vedha has never taken a dip, has he?
That's why he's nervous.
Also, don't you go in front of your wife and stutter.
Don't let go of a man's pride.
Go on!
Walk in sticking your chest out!
Look at him! Walking in like a warrior waiting to show his valour!
Where is my darling?
Oh! There she is!
Are you shy?
After all, you are indeed a woman.
P.. P.. Pushpa.
Why is she giving me the death stare?
What sort of a mendicant do you think you are?
Huh?!
You harebrained nutter!
Do I look like a pawn you can play around with?
What the heck! Murderer!
You stood like a porcelain doll yesterday.
Have the ghosts taken over you?
Just 'cause you found an easy bait, you thought of doing some funny business, huh?
You nutter case! - Stop right there!
Cross your limits and... - And what?
And.. That was it.
And you're supposed be my man.
Should I wash your feet, get you some water, massage your legs and warm you up?
When did I ask for that?
I've given you a new lease of life.
Woah! Look at you!
I was begging you at your door, asking you for a new life, wasn't I?
A husband is like God.
Let me prepare some delicious offerings then!
Don't come any closer!
I'll break a coconut. Come on now!
Scared out of your wits, eh?
Not really.
I'm Vedha.
Looks like you're sweating all over.
The windows and doors are closed, right?
Thought of romancing with me, eh?
Not at all. - Then?
Thought of seeing you. - Saw what you came for?
Yep. - Get out of here then.
Vedha? Are you done already?
Did you climb and get down the coconut trees already?
She's a poor girl, Mitku.
One glance of me and she began to tear up out of fear.
If sister-in-law was crying, why are you sweating your pants off?
I lost my cool, right? So...
You lost your coconuts!
I saw what a mighty warrior you turned out to be, through the windows.
Saw it all?
Yes, my boy. We all saw it.
Your warrior-like skills.
You guys did too?!
Sankari!
She's no woman.
She's an mud-eating demon!
The sister of Mahishasura!
If I'd stayed any longer, I would've lost my head.
Men shouldn't sob like this.
Calm down my son. - How do I?
If the village finds out about this, my reputation will go to the dogs.
That is only if we tell someone, right?
You want me to trust you both? - Yep.
May Lord have mercy!
Heyya Son-in-law!
What is it?!
Heard you were dripping sweat last night.
What?! - How did it go?!
Did you morons tell...?
Son-in-law! - Yes?
Heard you were almost on the verge of tearing up, last night?
Keep walking old man! - I didn't tell him anything!
Sankari! How could you?!
Come on dear.
Vedha, sister-in-law's here.
That two-faced witch! Look at her acting all naive now!
At a very young age, she lost her parents.
Just like a man would, Pushpa took up the responsibility of the family.
Hope you take good care of her in the future.
I.. I.. I will.
Good lord! I finally got my girl married to this stutterer!
I can't handle this Cleopatra any more.
I'm dying to bite her neck off!
You stutterer! Listen...
Grandma? - Yeah?
Can you come in for a moment? - Why dear?
I'll tell you. Come on.
[GRANDMA SCREAMS IN PAIN]
I've been watching you since yesterday.
Quit making a public announcement that he stutters.
Say another word about my husband and I'll punch in the old guts of yours.
Your husband?! - Of course!
Once he's tied the knot, whether he's a duffer or a good man, he's my God.
We'll fight all we want within four walls.
If a third person tries to meddle with my life, I'll stab you with a dagger.
Get off and move it!
Move it!
Vedha? - Huh?
Your wife is capable of thrashing the wits out of everyone!
Dear Son-in-law? - 'Dear'?!
Take good care of my granddaughter.
Of course, we will.
Go on now. You'll be late for the bus.
Woah! Vedha Sir!
Looks like you've grabbed a sack of ghee-laden Mysuru Pak with both of your hands!
You naughty man! - Ay! Shut it!
Huh?
Why are there so many people on the street?
Slow down and stop.
Stop the bus now!
Get in everyone! - What is this, Vedha?
How could you marry without informing any of us?
Are we not your own? - You're right.
It happened in a rush.
Lord, kindly get in the bus and continue with your debate.
Shush! What are the rest of you staring at?
Everyone else, get down! - Why should they?
Vedha and sister-in-law should have a special entry.
The rest of you. Off the bus now.
What are you all waiting for? Load the bus.
With what?
Gifts for Vedha's wedding. Make a note.
What?! You want me to?!
Yes. Write it down and give the list to Daya later.
They've turned public carrier into a personal gift carrier!
Sister-in-law, are you watching my brother's reputation?
He's an important man in all the villages around.
Really.
Bushy liquorice, flowery jasmin'...
Compared to you, your wifey's more charmin'!
Yeah right! Like our boy's any less.
Won't sway from his course.
Show affection and he'll shower you with love.
He's Lord Sri Ramachandra!
Does that make me the demoness Shurpanaki?!
Woah! Your old birdie's here!
Vedha!
How could you ignore this maiden for a maid like her?
What does that tell about you? - Ay!
Quit fanning the fire.
Get lost!
Sister-in-law, a lot of anonymous letters without stamps would drop in.
My brother's a gentleman!
Neither did he open them, nor did he read them.
Fine! Take good care of my boy!
Leave!
Vedha! Take care. We shall leave now.
Dame, wait by the canal. I'll come back for you.
Oy! People will be waiting for Vedha.
Make sure you stop the bus in every village.
They've turned my bus into a damn gift carrier!
Make a note! I mean, make a move!
Driver, don't stop anywhere. Keep driving!
Take care brother!
I'll shove your good byes up my.. Bag!
Vedha, I've hidden all the knives and machete from that devil of yours.
My left eye keeps fluttering.
Let's not to do it today. - Ay!
Are you a man?!
Go show her!
Show her what?! - Your valour!
What if she goes bonkers?!
Instead, you drive her crazy!
How about you come inside with me?
Do you wish to see me under the lamp light?
How about we do this?
Wait by the door maybe?
Am I a dog to you?!
Go in you fiery young man!
Every man should have a classy gait!
That is what distinguishes him!
Make sure you tie a huge noose in that crooked nose of hers!
You know how you should walk in?
Walk in sticking your chest out!
Stick it out like this and walk in!
Shall I? - Go ahead!
Our Vedha is now a man!
Come what may today, I'll deal with it! Here I come!
Sankari!
I still have a long way to live!
I still have a long way to go.
Sankari! Let me also come!
Sankari!
Listen to me!
Want me to sleep outside, eh?
A proud enchantress!
A flirtatious woman with a sway!
This tender moment is an exquisite festival of lights
Your heart is indeed beautiful
Pushpa, were you up all night?
It was your first night together, right?
Wait! Yuck! That's not what I meant.
Well.. Erm. I mean, it's a new place, right?
You might not have been able to sleep.
Vedha! Wake up!
Wake up Vedha!
Look at him hibernating like a bear!
Wake the heck up! - God!
Did you come to check if I was alive?
Not at all.
It's not that at all.
Your wife is pretty street smart!
She got her own machete from home!
What's up, Scaredy pants?
Did you get a good night's sleep?
Sister-in-law, are you sweeping? Didn't see you.
You're unfit to be married.
Why are you sleeping outside again?
No tricks will work on that woman.
Come morning and she shines like a sunflower.
Come night and she turns into a touch-me-not plant.
I have no idea how to tame her.
Will fruits drop from a tree because you scolded it?
Didn't I tell you to stand your ground?!
I got it, Vedha!
I know it now. - What do you know?!
How do they tie down an elephant?
With shackles.
What?! You want him to use shackles and tie down our sister-in-law?
You bonehead!
Did I tell him to use actual shackles?
I'm telling you use shackles made of flowers.
When the hearts unite, a golden shower will fall.
When a man loses to his wife, there's immense pleasure in it, my son.
Really? - Yep.
She's going in.
There's a story this village believes in.
After Goddess Chamundi killed Mahishasura, the demon.
She shed her violent avatar, turned peaceful and was meditating.
During that period...
Shirli, a tribal woman was serving the Goddess.
Impressed by Shirli's devotion, the Goddess fulfilled her wish of staying back in her village.
Ever since, the village was named Shirli.
The village had a priest named Nanjappa.
Shirli's people loved and prayed both to the Goddess and their Chief.
The Chief has an eight-year-old daughter who was developmentally disabled.
Nobody steps into that village fearing the Goddess' presence.
None of these villagers, have ever approached the law.
They tie the accused to a sacrificial pole, light a camphor
...and request the Goddess to resolve their dispute.
With your permission, I now place the plea at your feet.
If he has indeed committed the murder, may this camphor stop burning.
If it is a lie...
Let this camphor burn completely and may his innocence be proven.
If the camphor burns completely, the accused is considered innocent and is let go.
However, if the camphor dies in between, they subject the suspect to a sentence.
Death sentence.
A wrongdoer will never be able to escape from the Goddess.
Our hunt will now move to Shirli.
The priest of the Goddess... Nanjappa!
Bhagya dear...
Enough feeding the cat.
It's late already. Go inside.
Nah! I won't.
Bhagya?!
What's wrong, Madam?
Where's Bhagya? - She just went inside.
I can't find her.
Is Bhagya inside? - No.
Did you look properly? - She was playing with the cat right here.
I wonder where the child went.
Look over there. - I'll look in this direction.
Bhagya dear?! - Bhagya!
Did you see Bhagya? - Sister, is Bhagya here?
Bhagya?
Bhagya dear! [IN UNISON]
Bhagya?
Let's go over there.
Bhagya? Why did you come here? Who got you here?!
Don't cry dear. I'm here.
Come closer. Don't be scared. I'm here for you.
You scoundrel!
How dare you touch Bhagya?!
No, wait! - Come outside!
Come on dear. - Slow down Malla!
Chief! Madam! Rush here! Now!
Our darling is right here. - What's wrong, Bhagya?
What happened, dear?
What happened?
This priest was caressing Bhagya's body.
I saw it with my own eyes. Don't spare this wretched man!
How dare you!
Stop blabbering nonsense, you dimwit!
You keep quiet, Chief!
Look at that child suffering in silence!
This man was inappropriately touching her!
What are you even saying?!
I'm a devotee of the Goddess.
Would I commit a heinous act of touching this child?!
Enough! I've witnessed your atrocity through my own eyes.
Don't worry priest. Don't let this imbecile bother you.
Don't we know you?
He would never commit a mistake.
He's a godly man.
Quit blabbering nonsense, Maadevi.
Why the heck would Malla lie?
Pay attention to whatever he has to say.
Ever since Bhagya was born, he's taken better care of her than her own parents have.
Are you trying to accuse me of committing this act?!
We don't doubt you, Sir.
Please don't mistake us.
Who left this child with you?
Exactly! Ask him about it!
How did the child get here?
Doubting me is the same as doubting the Goddess' greatness.
If I have erred, let it be decided right away.
Come on now! Ask the Goddess yourself.
Let's resolve this in the morning.
Take the child and go home.
No way! This has to resolved now!
How do I face the Goddess with such a horrendous accusation on my back?!
If I've really erred, let the Goddess punish me.
Let's go then! The Goddess will punish the guilty.
Place our plea with the Goddess.
With your permission, I now place the plea at your feet.
May injustice be destroyed and let the truth prevail!
If the girl has indeed been wronged by Nanjappa...
O' mother, deliver the justice instantly!
Light the camphor.
All these years I religiously lit the incense sticks and the camphor,
...yet in the end, you deceived me.
You are nothing but a lie.
Your prowess is a big fat lie!
Ay!
How dare you call the Goddess' prowess a lie!
Scoundrel!
All these years, we considered you to be the God's reflection.
You wretched man!
Everybody stone this traitor to death!
Stop everyone!
Stop right there!
Everybody burn him right in front of the Goddess.
Vedha!
Kanaka!
Forgive me, Vedha!
If we'd finished you in your home, it would've been a murder.
Your facade has been stripped, right in front of
...the very people of Shirli who made you a God here.
We will now sacrifice you right in front of the very Goddess you worshipped.
Now, this won't be considered as a murder.
This is.. Annihilation!
Madam, this is not a murder.
This is a local tradition.
This is the punishment for wrongdoers.
We don't know where those two people came form.
Two of them?
Yes. Two of them.
They slashed Nanjappa, right in front of the Goddess.
Didn't any of you stop them? - We didn't feel like it.
The anger in his eyes and the rage in her made it seem like the Goddess
...gave them the opportunity to avenge the sin committed by this sinner!
Madam, if we let them roam around, I wonder how many more will be slaughtered.
Let there be no doubt.
Their hunt is still not over.
Fine! Come with me.
Sukanya, who's this attention seeking woman?
We've never seen her all these days.
She's a promiscuous lady who roams all over.
Settling down and making a life for herself, isn't her style at all.
Shall we go?
What's up, Grandpa?
Looks like you'll satiate your desire with your eyes?
Would sniffing the sugar help you decide the taste?
Ready to go? - Are we going to hell, Grandpa?
Grandpa? Who do you think you're talking to?
Fine! Tell me young lad!
What's your rate? - Fifty bucks!
Fifty bucks will get me two dairy cows.
But you won't get me, will you?
No need then.
Keep walking.
Feel free to milk the cows.
What?!
She is gorgeous.
Fine! I'll let the cows go this time.
Come on then. I'll pay you fifty bucks.
Hundred bucks it is. - What?!
We can't find clients for a meagre twenty and she wants a hundred?
Hundred bucks will get me four cents of land.
Feel free to go and sleep in your land.
Didn't you quote fifty bucks at first?
My body. My rules.
You're an uncouth woman.
Exactly why I'm on the streets.
If I was pious like you wanted, I would've been
...a married woman taking care of her family at home.
Bugger off moron! - Get lost!
Am I a fool to lose four cents of land?
Just like you asked, we'll give you a hundred bucks.
Will you come with us?
I won't. - I knew it!
We'll give you fifty more bucks. Will you come?
I won't. - Why is that?
No matter what you pay me, I'm not the type who sleeps with two men.
Ay! Who the heck am I?!
I'm the son of this village's chief.
I'm the King who doesn't wear a crown.
Ay! Kings like you have come to me and pledged their crowns.
Please consider! - Get the heck out of here!
Let's go, man.
Convey my regards to your father! - What?!
Dammit! Did I my father pledge his crown?
Ay!
Despite the public prosecutor Girija trying very hard
...to prove Beera's theft, it was a futile effort.
Because Lawyer Gunashekara was a genius who could
...argue in the court and turn a lie into truth.
Gunashekara turned the case around falsely accusing Vedha of desiring for Pushpa.
He claimed that Vedha had a personal vendetta against Beera and
...and got him arrested on his wedding day for the same.
Thus Beera was freed from the theft charges and released.
Our inspector is also involved in this, Vedha.
He didn't follow the procedure while filing the FIR making it easy for him.
Beera, don't forget the remaining amount.
Ay! Vedha, don't.
We're in a court.
Pushpa, do you fancy the jasmine flower?
Tell your husband.
He'll shower you with the flowers.
Hey Pushpa!
Let's go home. - I'm not coming.
I'm your mother's brother.
Just a namesake relationship won't do.
One needs to honour it.
If you did have it, you wouldn't have gone stealing on the eve of the wedding.
The law itself has declared me innocent.
I'm no thief. Now get on my bike.
Didn't you promise my mother, your sister, on her death bed?
"Your daughter's my responsibility. I shall marry her."
Why didn't you keep the promise?
Come with me and I shall marry you at the Chowdamma temple.
This is no illicit relationship to let go at my will!
Once a woman's neck has a thread with three knots around it. It's over.
Whether she's happy or suffering, her death is destined in her husband's home.
Even if I have to live only on porridge, I will not leave my husband's side.
Nor will I give up on him. - Listen, you'll repent marrying him.
Curse all you want. - Pushpa!
Don't ever step back in to his village.
My husband is eccentric.
Sankari, give me a beedi.
Nobody here cares for me.
Vedha! Look over there!
Call her out loudly!
Call her name!
P.. Pushpa! - Damn you!
Stop clucking a damn rooster.
Sing a song for her.
Who can beat you when it comes to dancing one's heart out?!
Sing a song and make her yours.
You think she'll become mine? - Of course she will!

Where did she go at this hour?
Did she get tired of me, pack her bags and go back home?
Where do I look for her at this ungodly hour?
Oy! Who's that savage?!
How dare you light fire in my field?!
Wait! Let me take you task!
Chicken and booze?!
P.. Pushpa!
Come to me! My darling!
My dear husband! My supreme love!
Pushpa, how could you leave without telling me?
Ay! Just come here!
Come sit here!
Will you drink some? - Nope.
Did you get worried that I ran away from home?
How could I not?
Who are you? - What in the heck!
I'm your husband, P.. P.. Pushpa.. - I know! Shut up!
Why did you come into my life?
Not once did I dream about my husband.
Right when I was put into a cradle, it was decided that I was to marry Beera.
Why are you thinking all this now?
Shush!
Want some drink? - No dear.
P.. P.. Pushpa.
I troubled you all the time. Yet you kept mum.
I threw your bed out, yet you didn't complain.
As if I was possessed by a spirit, I threw the damn machete at you.
I uttered so many unspeakable things to you.
Let it be... - Ay!
Aren't you my lawfully wedded husband?!
Shouldn't you have taken me to task?
You should've said, "Quit being a dominating witch!" and whacked me!
That is wrong, Pushpa.
One shouldn't raise their hands against women.
There is nothing manly about it.
God! Calm down!
What a gentleman you are!
Place your hand on your chest and tell me.
Have you never gotten angry with me? - Never.
You are a gem of a person.
I don't deserve you!
Come on, Pushpa. Let it be now.
Ay! Just come here!
You think I'm drunk on toddy and blabbering nonsense?!
Nope.
Let me tell you the truth.
I've spilled all the embers burning in my heart until now in front of you.
You're an extremely good man.
As pure as milk.
Why do you have so much affection for me?
Do you like me...?
P.. Pushpa.
Pushpa?
Holds a machete in her hand when sober.
Stomps my chest when she's drunk.
God knows what he's doing with me.
Pushpa! What happened?
Huh?
You talking to me?
Good lord! Heavens!
The woman's finally in her senses.
Sankari! Anyone?!
Time to unleash my valour in there!
If you leave town, you don't think we'll find you again?
You think you could go into hiding and escape from me?
Sir, please don't!
Cowards! You guys left the labourers behind fearing for your lives!
How dare you go into hiding, fearing someone?!
He came in blazing like forest fire and burnt it all!
His roar sent our men running in all directions.
Do you know what Giriayya's men should be like?!
Unlike others, you need to walk the talk!
If someone stands in the way, you need to bury them right there!
Oh God! - Silence!
Once I summon someone, everyone quivers and pipes their heads down.
Ay!
What are you guys staring at?!
What is it? - The blazing forest fire.
Who are they?
He'd borrowed money and had gone absconding.
Our boys looked everywhere and finally managed to nab the father-daughter duo.
Take them in as labourers and pay me.
Take it. Keep bringing us more.
Get in, girl!
This vehicle will directly go to Giriayya's den.
This is your only opportunity.
Don't spare him at any cost.
Who are they?!
The Almighty, Shiva!
Oy! Who are these people?
Sit down.
Mr. Braveheart! Look at the massive chunk of meat!
One glance of him, a poisonous viper would drink its own poison and kill itself.
You both are nothing. Sit down quietly.
Sit down, you morons!
Sister, he told you to sit.
Not to slit a coconut.
Silence!
Who the hell are you?!
Vedha!
Kanaka!
Forgive me, Vedha!
Grandma!
What's wrong? Why did you stop?
What happened after that?
Grandma, won't you complete the story?
Come on now! Tell me what happened after that!
Grandma!
Veda, listen to me.
Get out of here and I'll find them for you.
Let my daughter Kanaka get out first.
After that, their hunt shall begin.
What are you reading, Neela?
It's nothing, Grandma. - Can't wait any more is it?
Give me the book. I'll read it.
Okay.
What's wrong?
I've seen a father-daughter share love and affection.
I've seen them fight in anger.
But I've never seen a father-daughter duo go to war together.
Every man who stood twirling his moustache, were slaughtered one by one.
I shall never forget their anger and fury until I'm alive.
Who were they?
Before Giriayya died, his last words were -
"Forgive me, Vedha."
You're God-sent, brother.
You've done me a great favour. Take this.
No need.
May you always keep your cool.
Rathna! Paari!
Paari!
Pushpa! Let's get going. - Okay.
If we don't get back home before the sun sets down, Vedha will throw a tantrum.
Good Lord! Quit panicking. She's right behind you.
Hey Pushpa!
Any way you're here, why don't you stay back?
We can start a new family together.
Oy! You barbaric chimp!
Is this how you talk to others' wives?! Scoundrel!
Beera! Is this how you talk to a married woman?
Pushpa!
I very well know that you're holding your nose and bearing this marriage.
Ay! I'm not in a marriage that I don't want.
I love him too.
I've built a temple for him in here and worship him.
Put him in his place!
Our love is now blossoming in the form of a child in my womb.
Oh my god! - Really?!
Is this true?
My darling!
How could you hide this from me, Pushpa?
[SINGS IN JOY]
[INDISTINCT REMARKS]
Sankari, my wife's wailing in pain.
How can you be out here panicking? Get inside.
I can't do this.
I still have a long life to live.
Being a woman, how can you be scared?
I can't witness someone in labour pain.
I can't hear them screaming either.
I feel like I'll end up dying.
I still need to live a long life.
A long one ahead.
Fearing labour pain, I never married someone.
Really? - Shush!
Don't tell anyone.
They'll make a mockery out of me.
I still have a long way to go.
You're not the one to die any soon.
Sankari, will it be a boy or a girl?
It'll be a girl.
Just like how I was with you since you were a kid, she'll always be there for you too.
She'll be a shoulder for you to cry on.
Just like how I was there sharing your emotions, she'll be there too.
May all your words come true.
Sankari!
Sankari's no more!
What?! Sankari's gone?!
[PEOPLE WAIL TOGETHER]
Sankari!
Wake up, Sankari!
You kept chanting that you have a long way to go.
Yet you abandoned me midway and left, didn't you?
How could you leave me behind and fool me?
Get up, Sankari!
Wake up!
Sankari!
It's a girl, Vedha!

He cheated his own brothers.
Didn't give them their share in the property.
He gobbled up five acres and is now living with his wife and child in the farm house.
His wife's Basavi.
She's always desperate and dying for money.
He has an eight-year-old daughter. Her name's Poovi.
Since four years, he's lost sense below his waist and is now a sitting duck.
Since then, he's never gotten out of his house.
Vedha, don't spare Kalleshi!
Come along now! He'll be happy to see you!
Look over here.
I thought your relatives were cunning foxes waiting to gobble our share of wealth.
Only today, did I find out that your family has such great human beings too.
In Yochihalli, your ancestors apparently have five acres of land.
They're looking to sell it.
Next Friday, if we head there and consent to it. They'll give us money.
Who told you this? - That great human being.
Your relative, Vedha.
Kanaka!
Vedha!
Don't feel shy. Please eat your tummy's fill.
You probably last ate in the morning.
Today, the society waits to grab others' belongings.
Yet, you've come home looking for us.
Look! A stone!
Why do you have a stone with you, Sister?
When one's out to do something good, an even number won't serve well.
Odd number is lucky.
So, they've decided to even out the odds with a stone by their side.
Put it back in their bag, dear.
Both of you stay back tonight.
You can leave first thing in the morning.
Okay.
Basavi, where did they go?
They must have left in the morning.
Why would they leave without doing what they came for?
Poovi!
Basavi, where's my daughter?!
She must be playing outside. - What?! Poovi!
Poovi! - Quit screaming!
I'll find her! Squat your bum and wait!
Poovi!
Devari!
Did you see my daughter?
No, Madam. I don't think I saw her around here.
Listen! I don't see her around.
Oh God! No!
I knew this was going to happen!
I knew it!
What are you talking?! - They won't spare us!
They will kill you and my daughter!
Why will they kill my daughter?!
Do we owe them anything?!
What have we even done to them?!
What has my daughter done to them?
You both haven't done anything.
It's me! I've committed the sin!
Mother!
Father!
Look here! I've got Guava!
Why are you sitting here, mother?!
Father, why are you crying?
Is your hip hurting?
Mother, I like sister a lot!
Also, Uncle is such a good man!
When I told sister that my father has never carried me on his back,
...she picked me up herself and carried from the farms till the way home.
Do you hear her?! Your daughter's addressing him as uncle!
Father!
What's wrong, Father?
Why are you crying?!
Mother! What's wrong with Father?
Why is he behaving like that?
Father! Why are you closing the door?
Father!
Mother! Ask father to open the door!
Father!
Father?!
Father!
What did you do?!
Tell us!
Forgive us!
A stone?
Madam, this is them. The father-daughter duo.
The father-daughter came in as guests.
They made tall claims about a share in a property and
...ended up pushing Kalleshi to burn himself to death.
And that girl?!
Before she left, she kept that stone on Kalleshi's chest and walked away, Madam!
You're finally here, eh?
She's inside. Careful.
She's not a good woman. Let's go.
Who is it? A customer?
Has that wretched woman sent someone even after telling her not to?
I'm not in the mood. Find someone else.
I'm talking to you, moron! Get lost!
Who the hell are you?!
Dammit!
What a hapless guy you must be!
The light went off the moment you stepped in.
I wonder where this useless woman left the match box.
Even if a bandicoot goes out of town, he'll never stop digging.
After freeing himself from the theft case in which Vedha caught
...him red-handed, Beera is back to showing his true colours.
He went to Puradamma's fair and has robbed four houses.
Those villagers have approached the court.
They're asking us to join them.
If we go ahead as witnesses, that crook will be punished.
What say?
It's all in our imagination.
Until rotten souls who shield and eat shit for money exist,
...crooks and thieves like Beera will never be punished.
The Lord sitting up there will not watch in silence.
Righteousness and Karma still exists in this world.
It might. But this is their headache.
Why are we meddling with it?
When our neighbour's office is on fire and if we sit watching it...
It only means that we took the side of the culprits.
Well said, Vedha!
We have to punish that son of a gun!
What say everyone?! - Yes!
It's decided then.
Wake up early morning and catch the first bus going towards the court.
What say, Chief? - Just like you said it.
Instead of minding your business, you're trying to straighten a dog's crooked tail.
Beera is someone who boils his rice from a burning house. Why meddle with him?
Heard her, buttercup?
Your mother was mad for her uncle.
Look at her address him in singular.
Uncle?! To hell with him!
Me and him parted ways, eons ago.
You're the one following him like a chimp.
Fine then! Don't lose your cool.
After appearing as witness in the court, I'll pack our bag of past and throw it in the Ganges, okay??
I'm a fool for trying to put some sense into you.
It's your fate. - Fine. Get Kanaka inside.
Let's go. - Mother...
Is it true that during the initial days of marriage, you bought a machete
...from your home to ensure that father never entered the house. Is that true?
Oy! Why are you telling such false stories to that young child?
False stories?!
I kept mum because I'm a good man.
Any other man would've knocked on others' doors to play hide and seek.
Want to play hide and seek, eh?
Don't come near me! - Try playing! Let me see!
If I pick up the machete... - Don't you dare.
I've hidden it, there's no way you'll find it!
Look at you teaming up with your father.
Let me get my hands on you both.
Stop right there! - Father, run!
Despite orders from the court to arrest the culprit,
...the police haven't performed their duty, your honour.
Why didn't you arrest, Beera?
Your honour, Beera is absconding.
Despite going to his house multiple times to hand over the summons, he's returned empty-handed.
It's a lie, Madam. - Listen.
Whatever it is that you want to tell, come to the witness stand.
Sure.
Your name? - Vedha.
Tell me. - That crook, Beera...
He's roaming around freely.
This man is uttering lies after failing to nab him.
This is the effect of the bribe Beera has put in their pockets.
Objection your honour.
He's blabbering nonsense without any proof to back it.
Mister, we drive away people who eat shit for money, in a jiffy.
Order!
Stick to the matter. - Apologies.
If I grab Beera and get him, will you punish me?
Definitely.
Protecting the law isn't just the Police force's duty.
It requires the public's co-operation too.
Only when two hands join, does it sound a clap.
Sure, Madam.
Where are you off to?
To sound a clap.
Wait a minute. Let me get Beera.
Oy!
This is not a village council. This is a court.
Judgement has to be pronounced within the stipulated time.
Fine! I get that! Patience my dear lawyer.
Don't get excited. You'll struggle to breathe.
Let me get him.
Get up now!
Ay! - Dear Lawyer!
What the hell is this?! - That's our Veda.
One whack and the man broke!
Silence.
What do you think of the court?
Doesn't your client know that it is violation to carry a weapon?
How could you manhandle him? - Madam!
My soul and body are already in tatters, Madam!
Save me, Madam!
The court directs that the accused Beera be treated
...in a Government Hospital for his injuries.
Also, Vedha who inhumanely attacked Beera, will need to pay a fine of fifty bucks
...and will be imprisoned for three days.
Let's go.
Fine. Let us go.
Officer, where's my husband?
Quit roasting me by the door. Get inside.
When God himself has stayed away, what help can law do?
No matter what I tell you, you won't stop being a dolt, will you?
Are you the only goddamn hero in this village?!
Are you here to see me or scold me?
The hyacinth beans curry you've got smells damn good!
Don't forget to hand it in.
Don't piss me off now!
Do you even remember that there are two women waiting for you at home?
Tell me buttercup.
Is your mother losing it because her uncle's free or is it because she's pissed with me?
Don't start with your nonsense!
Your father's right where he's supposed to be.
Let's go! - My curry?!
Vedhanna, your wife's burning bright without any fire?
She loves me a lot.
Quit fibbing! - You fool.
When I got her a saree for the Maaralaami fair,
...she threw it in a corner claiming that it was washed-out.
Today, she's worn the same saree to meet me.
What say now?
Really?!
Yes! - Father!
What's up, buttercup? - I've now learnt to trap fireflies.
Really? I'm glad I thought you how to.
Why did you come back? Quit wailing for your father.
Just 'cause there's no elder at home to put you in place,
...you're playing it by your rules.
Come home and I'll get hold of your reigns!
Why are you giggling, you mashed-radish face!
The saree from the Maaralaami fair looks great on you, sister.
Did this bugger tell you?
If he chooses an idiot's company, who'll bear with the stupidity that'll follow?
So, I decided to give him a visit.
There's no love here!
Buttercup, your mum's glowing just like a fire fly in this saree.
No need for this sweet talk.
Let's go. - Father, come home soon.
He will. Come along. - Sure dear.
P.. P.. Pushpa!
What is it?
Just felt like getting another glance.
Why don't I come in there? - Wouldn't that be great?
My evil eyes will harm you.
Go home and get rid of it, okay?
I don't get it, brother.
Your wife got you food, yet she turned her back on you without handing it in?
Puttaswamy, don't I know the quirks of my lover?
Here, these are father's clothes. - Okay.
Officer, even if you eat a grain of this, you'll end up shitting your pants.
I won't eat it.
Also, he loves the hyacinth bean curry.
Make sure he eats on time, okay?
I'll feed him the morsels myself. Will that do?
You go now.
Also...
Don't forget to give him water.
If need be, I'll feed him the water myself.
You leave now!
God! This woman!
Don't you dare eat a grain of it. - Like you would let me.
You'll curse me into getting a stomach ache!
The amount of love she has for her husband.
Take care of him, please! - Fine!
The entire town's heading to Yadatti fair. Won't you be coming?
My man's still in prison.
I'll go to the temple and offer prayers again.
At least send Kanaka along.
This one's a prancing pony. It won't stay in one place.
How will you pay attention to her during the prayers?
You guys carry on. - Okay, Pushpa.
Take care.
Kanaka, I'll get you something from the fair.
Where are you off to now?
Let me catch some fireflies.
Your father taught you this and I've to bear the brunt.
Get back soon. - Fine, mother.
This wound couldn't have happened from a fall.
Looks like somebody hit you. - No one did.
I really did fall.
What happened?
She's no good woman, Madam.
If only she was minding her business... - Tch!
Doctor, what happened?
She's been stabbed in the stomach, twice.
Her life's not in danger.
She would've messed with her client or asked for more money.
Would've ended in a fight and he must have escaped after stabbing.
Madam, you think the curse of all the wives who would've lost their homes spare her?
Children who... - Govindayya!
What happened?
Don't be afraid.
Who did this?
This isn't only about yesterday's attack.
It all began over eight years ago.
Dammit!
Come on in, Vedha.
I was waiting for you.
Hey Darling!
There he is.
Is our guest here?
Pour some more water.
Useless moron!
If you dispose the body in a lousy manner like last time
...and make it a meal for the vultures and dogs,
I'll break you bones and give them to you.
Pick it up and move!
Kempa! Bring more firewood.
Looks like we have two more guests.
Wondering about him?
He kept countering me.
I hit him once with the machete.
He conked off.
You don't worry.
I won't be slashing you both like this.
Something else awaits you.
You've come all the way here to kill him.
What grave crime did my husband commit?
Fine! I agree.
He was into small-time robbery and looting long ago.
It was only after he came to my house to loot, did he develop a bond with me.
All these are age-old tales.
He's no more into such petty crimes.
We've put our past behind and are now leading the life of a King and Queen.
Listen, Vedha!
Share your woe with me.
It'll take a while for the bodies to be burnt.
While the smog from the burning wood takes over,
...let me listen to your sob stories and sob along with you.
What did my husband do to you?
I thought you were bringing a damsel to roll the dices with.
Instead of sending the labourers to the coffee estate, I came running in this state.
And here I see that you're getting the job done with local toddy and meat, Beera.
I sent my arch-enemy Vedha to the prison, instead of me.
Shouldn't we celebrating this festival?!
I've sent Kalleshi to get us a sexy siren.
Be a little patient, Mr. Hurry!
Beera, couldn't you find anyone other than that imbecile?!
You might think that he's an imbecile.
Someone's coming.
I didn't get any ordinary siren.
I've got the most colourful siren from around.
Come on, darling.
How's she?
Despicable nitwit!
You spoke of one person and here there are four of them.
What do you think of me?
Why are you screaming your lungs out for that?
I'll throw you as much money as you want.
Even if you shower me with gems and jewels,
I'm not a rotten woman to sleep with four men.
Ay doll face!
Sex workers who's acting all pious, eh?
Who's asking you to sleep with us?
We will have you by force.
You cheeky scoundrels!
Do I look like a lamb to force yourself upon?
If you've got the balls...
If your mother indeed gave birth to real men, try touching my body.
How dare you curse me?
Come on now!
How dare you hit me!
If a woman's a Goddess, you worship her, request her to take care of you.
But when a woman's a human being, is she equivalent to the dust at your feet?!
Speak up!
How dare you touch her without her permission?!
Shame on your manliness!
I will...
I won't spare you!
You will not get away this.
I will come looking for you!
I will not let you be! No matter who you are!
You scoundrel Kalleshi!
How could a street rat trounce us this hard?!
I don't know what you're going to do.
I need someone! Right away!
So do I, Beera!
I want a woman! At any cost!
I will not spare you!
No matter where you are! I will find you!
I will not spare you!
I will find her at any cost!
Beera!
Guys, it's just a kid.
She knows that.
But we don't know that, do we?
Father! - Buttercup!
What's wrong, Vedhanna?
I felt like my daughter called out for me.
You really love your daughter.
You keep reminiscing her every other minute.
I'm feeling uneasy inside.
You'll be out in the morning.
Get some peaceful sleep now.
Let me go!
Father! Help!
Father!
Ay!
Sister-in-law!
See for it yourself!
Sister-in-law! - What happened?!
What's wrong, Daya?
Look what happened! - Kanaka!
What happened?!
Speak up!
What are you even saying?!
Where the hell were you?!
Wake up!
Wake up now!
My dear, wake up!
Wake up now!
I will not spare any of those mongrels!
If I don't separate their necks of their bodies and feed the dogs...
Wake up, my daughter!
Get up now!
Tell me who those mongrels were?!
I'm with you. Tell me the truth.
Tell me now!
Sister-in-law! - Come with me now!
I will not spare any of them.
Sister-in-law! Wait! Don't go!
Ay Nanjappa! - Disgusting!
You impotents!
How dare you ruin my innocent daughter's life?!
Pushpa!
Is she your daughter?!
This is what one calls as sheer luck!
Didn't you humiliate me in front of others?
Just like how we tore your daughter apart, we'll pick and eat you up!
I curse you!
I'll make you all spit out every drop of your mother's milk
...and offer you as game to Goddess Maariamma!
Give me two minutes, dear.
I will snap their heads right in front of you!
Come fight me!
You touched my daughter with these very hands, didn't you?! There you go!
Pushpa! Let him go!
Son of a b***h!
Pushpa! Don't do this!
If you men like you, who are born out of wedlocks are forgiven.
A lot of women's lives will be ruined.
The hearts of mothers like me will melt.
You shouldn't live.
Your breath shouldn't brush anywhere near the bodies of women.
I will pump out your blood and cleanse my daughter.
Mother!
Oh God! No!
Hell no!
We killed her!
Beera, Nanjappa, Giriayya!
A tragedy has occurred!
Not only did we assault the child.
We also killed the mother.
What do we do now?
Giriayya! If somebody finds out!
What do we do?
Beera! The child is still alive!
Pushpa!
Stop shouting! Shut up!
I know whom to call now!
Get him here quickly.
Beera, can't believed you killed your own niece!
Sir! Please!
Do something and save us, Sir!
Don't tell me that you can't do this.
We've committed another mistake.
The four of them.. Together have...
You guys have messed up big time!
The reward will be big too.
Well then...
This will be a trivial matter to cover up.
P.. P.. Pushpa!
Ay!
Ay Daya!
Where's my daughter?
K.. K.. Kanaka.
Your honour...
This was not an act done with intention.
This was an accident that happened due to foolishness.
To tell us about the truth behind the incident, we have the witness Chowdappa with us.
Chowdappa.
Explain the complete truth to the judge.
Don't be afraid.
Pushpa and I are from the same village.
We both had an affair together, since a long time.
After she got married, I learnt that Vedha was a hooligan,
...and cut off my contact with her in fear.
Objection, your honour. - Have some patience, please.
Give him a chance to speak the truth.
Objection overruled.
Let the examination continue.
Yesterday, Pushpa invited me home saying that her husband was behind the bars.
When we were spending time together at home, this child ended up seeing us.
Even though we requested her not to tell anyone,
...she began to throw a fit that she'll tell her father.
Pushpa began to heat a ladle on the stove,
...trying to scare her that she would cauterise her.
In a moment of panic, the child picked up the coconut scraper and bashed Pushpa's nape.
The impact of the hit was so much that
...Pushpa fell on the stove and her body caught on fire.
Before I could douse the fire and save her,
...Pushpa had died from the impact of her daughter's hit.
Neither the child, nor I were at fault here.
Madam, you have to save me from Vedha.
Objection your honour.
The defence lawyer is using arguments to twist the incident entirely.
Pushpa was brutally murdered and this child was gang-raped.
How could anyone rape a child as young as her?
Beera and his friends did.
The investigating officer of this case, Inspector Rudra is here.
Let's hear the truth from him.
Chowdappa's statement is true, your honour.
I'd personally inspected the crime scene.
The hit on the nape caused severe bleeding and the victim had lost her life at home.
In order to ascertain the truth, we need to conduct a medical examination on the child.
Please go ahead. Let the investigation continue.
The guilty should be punished.
To have killed her own mother, the child must be beyond devastated.
The child must have gone through extreme mental agony.
This child's mistake was to have been born to
...a characterless mother like Pushpa and an irresponsible father like Vedha.
Your honour, I have a request to make.
Until the investigation is over, I request you to allot judicial custody to the child and protect the law.
After analysing the arguments...
In order to ascertain whether there has been sexual assault on Kanaka or not,
...a medical examination needs to be conducted under the police supervision.
Before the next hearing, the court orders that further evidence be furnished.
The court is adjourned.

After carefully considering the arguments,
It has been ascertained that no solid evidence has been found
...to confirm that the child was sexually assaulted.
However, evidence strongly suggests that the child murdered her own mother, Pushpa.
Therefore, until Kanaka reaches adulthood, she will serve a sentence in the juvenile prison.
Her father apparently killed two people in front of the court and is absconding after stabbing a police officer.
Really?!
Is that all?
You're raking up a decade old matter and are here with your mature daughter to avenge your past.
What kind of an irresponsible father are you?
Couldn't you have found a fool for her and married her off?
Don't we wash a day-old plate and eat food in it again the next day?
This is exactly the same.
Lust has no eyes.
Listen to me.
A couple of decades from today, the world will get worse.
Every day, every hour and every minute,
...someone or the other will keep sexually assaulting a woman.
Does that mean every girl should stand up with a machete and seek blood?
A woman should be careful.
What say?!
Kanaka...
This woman here...
Is a disgrace to the race of women.
Don't spare her.
Finish her.
Slash her down!
Okay, father.
You think you'll slash me?!
If a woman is touched without her permission,
...every woman out there will wield a machete and slaughter you.
Isn't that true?
If he isn't afraid to touch you, why are you scared to slash him?
Pick up a machete and hack them.
Ay!
Ramaa Madam! He'll kill them.
Let's stop him.
Madam?
Forgive me, Vedha.
I made a mistake.
Forgive me, Vedha.
You want forgivance?
When a daughter is born...
A father believes that Goddess Lakshmi herself has come home.
He cradles the daughter on his chest and showers her with love.
Yet, men like you lie down on her forcefully...
Should I forgive you for that?!
When you sexually assault a woman, the law
...let's you go after punishing you for ten to fifteen years.
What about the girl? What about her family?
Without having done anything wrong, they'll go through living hell.
Is there forgivance for that?!
To satiate your desires, you destroy a woman's dreams of a good life.
Can that be forgiven?!
Regretting for having been born as a woman, they spend their life in agony and cursing men.
Can that be forgiven?
Do you think a woman's a goddamn sandalwood billet to
...smear yourself with or burn it according to your fancy?!
This isn't only about ruining a woman's honour...
Even if you stare at a woman with ill-intentions,
...your head and your lineage will roll from my blows!
Vedha!
Are you wondering why I never arrested you all this while?!
The day I met Lawyer Girija, I learnt your truth.
As a police officer, arresting you and imprisoning you wasn't a big deal.
But when I think of this as a woman...
My conscience didn't let me.
So...
I waited for your daughter to finish them.
Now that you're done, shouldn't your hardened heart be free and dance in joy?
Shouldn't your stone-like heart melt into a flower?
Shouldn't a tear should roll down your eyes, Kanaka?
Why isn't that happening?
Because you're not aware of the truth that I know.
Bring her down.
Tell them what happened, Paari.
I won't spare you!
I will come looking for you.
I won't spare you! No matter where you are!
I got worried that those beasts would come back to get me.
I decided to hide in the sugarcane field.
Even after a while, nobody came for me.
When I came out to check why they went silent.
Let me go!
You wicked brutes!
How could you do this to a child?!
Vedha, it didn't end here.
What followed next was even more gory.
Bring him here.
Standing by your side, this rascal deceived you.
Whenever Paari tried to reach you, he kept stopping her.
He even tried to kill her, but wasn't able to.
If you both make it alive, Paari would've revealed his true colours.
He informed Beera about your coming to ensure that he kills you.
Tell them what happened!
Ay!
Aye! Stop right there!
Run guys!
How could you do this to a child, you scoundrels!
Kanaka?!
Those rascals raped our Kanaka!
Kanaka, wake up!
Ay!
You impotent mongrel!
She's just a child!
You wouldn't even spare a dog if it was covered in a saree, would you?!
The one who doesn't treat a woman as his sister or
...a daughter, and tries to violate her is no man!
He's called a pervert!
I will not...
Forgive me, Vedha.
When I saw them both on that day...
For the first time, I felt upholding humanity was more important than performing my duty.
Ten-year-old Kanaka lost her mother right in front of her eyes.
She was separated from her father.
She suffered the punishment for no mistake of hers.
She spent her entire childhood in prison.
But she was never afraid.
When she was released, she didn't forgive them either.
They raped my daughter!
You guys will suffer!
You will be ruined!
Don't fear.
Don't forgive.
Where can we find them?
