Spare my life, Peddamma.
Please don't hurt me. I'll never try to escape again.
I'll be here till the day I die.
Know the truth, Shankara.
Once you set foot in Bhairavakona, there's no leaving!
Take him away!
I'll not go anywhere.
Let me go!
Let me go! I'll stay here!
Don't hurt me.
I'll not go anywhere. I'll stay here!
Let me go!
Sir, why don't you give us a glimpse of those pictures?
You idiot! This isn't some dirty magazine that you secretly buy at the paan shop.
It's a holy language. English!
Holy language?
Hello.
-Police station? -Yes.
Sir, I'm speaking from Sri Krishnapuram. They're about to kill someone here.
What?!
When?
Why?
A thief was caught stealing jewelry at the wedding venue.
When people cornered him, he locked himself inside a room.
I'm afraid our men are going to kill him, sir.
Please come fast, sir.
Why are you so worried about the thief's life?
Are you guys partners by any chance?
I'm not his partner, sir. I'm the bride.
Being the bride, why are you trying to save the thief?
Every life is precious, sir. Please hurry up.
Come, guys! He can't get away with this!
Beat that rascal to death.
I'll handle the legal issues.
Hello. 1..2..3.. Mic testing.
Attention, everyone!
I wanted to serve cottage cheese to you all at my sister's wedding.
But that bloody thief left her with tears in her eyes.
Whoever brings me his arm...
wins the ownership of my sugarcane field in Sarvepally.
Wow! Sugarcane field! Let's go, guys!
Come on out, you rascal!
Dad, ask them to stop. We'll surrender him to the police.
Please.
That's the jewelry a father got made for his daughter with lots of love.
How can I just let him go?
-You guys go that way! -Okay, brother!
-You go this way! --Okay, brother!
Hey! Pull the stand up.
Thank you, sir.
You see that? A police needs to be observant.
I skanned him.
S-K-A-N. Skan.
He's cunningly smart, sir. He soaked himself in kerosene to get away.
Sir, there are tyre marks here.
Which means he changed his clothes and fled the scene on his bike.
Sir, the guy you yelled at to pull the stand up is the thief.
-What stand? -You shut up!
Sorry, sir.
-Sir... Sir... Sir... -Hello. Hello. Hello.
-Hello. -Sir, the SI is on the line.
Hello.
-Hello. -Hello, sir.
There's a thief coming your way in a grey color shirt, wearing an ID card.
-Don't let him get away. -Number plate, sir?
TS...
Black and red pulsar bike.
-Number plate is TS 09 EJ 3642. -Okay, sir.
You noticed the stand.
I scanned the number plate.
S-C-A-N. Scan.
-Mr. John... -Yes?
What are you looking at?
I'm planning a road trip since this morning, sir.
If you allow me, I'll tell you.
We go straight from here and turn left.
There's a chicken nuggets center there.
We should munch on a few chicken nuggets and keep the trip going.
Then we turn right and go straight.
After approximately 230 kilometers,
you'll find a Punjabi Dhaba on the right.
Their chicken lollipops are...
out of the world!
-Can I have the map, Mr. John? -It's the original one, sir. Be careful.
Mr. John, an escaping map is meant for checking police check posts.
Be my guest, Mr. John.
-Hello, Basava. -Yeah, tell me.
Where the hell are you? Why aren't you picking my calls?
-What's the matter? -There's a Mahesh Babu film.
They're hiring for a fire stunt. Payment is 50,000 rupees.
-The stunt master just called. -I'm busy. I'll call you back.
Are you still chasing after that girl?
When are you going to learn?
How can I make you understand?
Forget about it. You'll do fine in life.
Let me tell you something.
If you want your life to be better, you should stop thinking about Bhumi...
and focus on your future.
Say whatever you want about me. But leave Bhumi out of this.
Cut! Cut! Cut!
-Master... -Basava, how many times should I tell you?
Don't let your face show during the stunts. You're the dupe.
People come to the theatres for the hero. Not you.
Call the hero.
-There's no sugar in the juice. -That's coconut water, sir.
Whatever. The umbrella isn't for you. It's for me.
Shot is ready. Let's go!
The stunt master is really acting up!
Do we really have to do this right now?
Listen to me. Let's go back to your uncle in the village.
Living with uncle means money, beer, biryani and what not.
There's everything!
Remember who took our photos when we used to work with uncle?
The police.
-Who recognizes us and takes our pictures now? -Fans.
Photos are common, Mr. John. But this profession gave us respect.
Don't be a cry baby, Mr. John.
Getting whacked once in a while also counts as heroism.
Basava, Master told you to drop these beds at the storage unit.
Coming.
Go! Go! Go!
-Hey! Where are your eyes at? -Get lost!
Hey!
He stole my bag. Follow him.
Move! I said move!
What are you looking at? Look over there.
Go!
Drive fast!
Drive fast. Can't you go any faster?
-How much cash is in the bag? -There's no cash.
-Jewelry then? -No. Something more important.
Don't stop at the red light. Keep going.
Jump the signal! Go!
I said don't stop! He'll get away!
Hey, stop!
-Have you gone blind? -Sorry, bro.
Why are you apologizing?
Is your car damaged? No, right?
I'll break your bones, damn it!
Hey, stop!
Go straight.
He's turning left. Follow him adjacently.
Hey! Hey!
-Give me my bag back! -Keep going!
Give me my bag back!
Hey, let go!
Stop or I'll kill you!
Yeah, right!
-Give it back! -Keep going, man!
This is mine.
-Keep going! -Hey!
Girl, you're so tense. Do you have cocaine in your bag?
-Cut around the corner, come on! -Stop!
Hey!
"I can’t handle the beauty of your eyes"
What are you looking at? Go!
"Your magical world is driving me insane"
"My heart has fallen for you"
"Your magical world is driving me insane"
"My heart has fallen for you"
"I’ve gone crazy for you, my lady. Tell me what to do"
"Your man has decided not to let you go"
"I can’t handle the beauty of your eyes"
"You make me go high on life"
"I can’t handle the beauty of your eyes"
"You make me go high on life"
"You’re the breath of my existence"
"You give me sleepless nights"
"Isn’t this your enchantment?"
"It’s like I’m losing my senses"
"I feel like a fish flopping on the shore inside my heart"
Hello.
What are you looking at? Go!
"You embrace me like a branch of flowers reaching down"
Enter the lane. Come on, quick!
Go! Go!
-Hey! Don't go alone. It's not safe. -Slowly. Watch out. Go! Go!
Move your vehicle! Come on!
It's getting late. Move the vehicle right now!
Hello!
Come!
"You make me go high on life"
Hey!
Hurry up!
Hey, you scoundrel!
Stop! You go. I'll see you later. Go! Go!
Why is he chasing me, damn it?
Hey!
I'll give you 500 rupees for the bag. She's going to cry, man.
-Come get your money. -Sir...
2008 batch. 2000+ thefts.
But I've never seen anything like this.
If you know her from before, let me go.
Otherwise, get rid of her. She'll eat you alive!
Hey!
Thanks a lot.
Oh, I forgot I have to pay.
Let me get it.
Basava, you started working with big names and totally forgot me.
If you had stayed with me, you would've reached the top by now.
Now you're getting whacked by the heroes.
I have a small task for you. Brother's men are in jail.
-I'll not do it, sir. -Hey... Hey... Listen!
I got you boost when you asked for tea, biryani when you asked for a bun.
-A scooter when you asked for a cycle. -Did you ever get me what I need?
-I took you off the streets and raised you. -Hey, stop it!
Just shut up!
-How much trouble are you in? -Extreme trouble.
Please do this one favor for me.
There's a girl in the trunk.
Keep her safe for tonight.
Our men will come and take her tomorrow.
Please get the job done.
Let me speak, bro. I got this.
Let me speak.
She's sedated.
She won't wake up for another 2 hours.
She should be alive till my job is done. Be careful.
Basava... Basava, look over there.
Is that a girl?
A girl?
She's alive, John. We should rush to the hospital.
We're not exactly in the position to help others right now.
We can't afford to do this. Let's go.
Shut up and give me a hand.
This is the fourth theft in this pattern, sir.
I have a feeling the same person stole the 3.5 crores.
I don't think so.
Looks like there's been an accident. Stop the vehicle.
The vehicle is here but the body is missing. Check!
I guess she lost a lot of blood.
-O positive blood. -Sir? How, sir?
I can count your ribs if you yawn.
Can't I sniff and tell which blood group it is?
Sir, look at this bottle. It is hen's blood.
Why are you laughing? Don't hens have blood groups?
Sorry, sir. Sorry.
Sir, this bike doesn't even have an engine.
-This is her doing. -Who, sir?
Geetha.
Agraharam Geetha.
Highly talented.
Highway thief.
Sir, we're here to catch the thief. You need to speed up.
I don't need to speed up.
I need to be smart.
What's that smell?
Sir, I got an idea.
-Sir. -You shouldn't check the license and RC.
-Then? -Check the samal. S-A-M-A-L.
You mean smell?
He soaked himself in kerosene to get away.
The stench of kerosene doesn't go away easily.
Smell everyone's arm and let go only if it doesn't smell of kerosene.
If it smells of kerosene, that's him!
Okay, sir.
-Hey! Check for the smell of kerosene. -Sir.
Me and my bro just saved a girl's life. Feeling excited!
-Mr. John, tilt the angle a bit. -This way?
What's with all the selfies? Delete them!
It's the excitement of stealing 60 lakhs.
Show the other hand.
Okay. Okay. Next!
Sir, there's a patient inside. We need to rush to the hospital.
Okay. But show me your hand first.
-Sir! There's a patient... -Put your hand forward!
Sir!
Ramaswamy, come and smell this.
I have cold. I can't smell anything.
You don't need Ramaswamy, sir. Let me smell it.
-It smells of kerosene. What's the big deal? -Sir!
Sir! Smell! Kerosene smell! Catch him! Catch him!
Go. Go. They're leaving.
Looks like we're going to get caught.
We better spend the night here.
Did you forget that there's a girl in the car?
We're in enough trouble already. Do we really need this right now?
Police have sniffed our hands already.
I got this.
If they see her with us by mistake,
Kidnapping case.
what if our luck runs real bad and she dies?
Murder case, Mr. John.
I highly suspect that she's already dead.
What are you looking at?
Your driving made me all nauseous but she didn't even flinch.
Let's bury her in the bushes somewhere and play safe.
Mr. John.
Get into the vehicle, Mr. John.
I wish you were a bit smarter.
-Basava... -Mr. John...
I see a path over there.
We're very lucky today!
When you set out to help a fellow human being, the universe presents a way.
Who the hell are you? Get off the bonnet!
Outsiders are prohibited from entering the village.
Why? This isn't Pakistan or Afghanistan.
It's way more dangerous.
-To hell with him! -Manjunadha...
There's a girl in the back. Allow them in.
I want him!
There's no light bulb in sight. It's all fire lanterns.
'Revere your Mother as God'
'Revere your Father as God'
'Revere your Teacher as God'
'Praise be to Lord Vishnu'
This is the Garuda Purana.
It's the 18th text that Lord Vishnu narrated to Garutmanthudu.
We have eighteen holy texts.
Garuda Puranam is one of them.
While the other texts describe the percepts of mankind,
Garuda Puranam talks about the significance of soul.
Lord Vishnu explained in detail how a soul wanders on Earth.
That is what I'll be narrating today. Pay attention.
Lord Vishnu is the Lord of the Universe.
He is beginning-less and endless.
It is from him the universes are born and in him they dissolve back.
Praise be to him!
They're whacking too hard. He might die.
-They made a mistake. -So what? They kill them?
Are you new to this village?
Step back. Don't mess with them.
Excuse me. Is there a doctor in the village?
Go straight and you'll find a river. He lives adjacent to that.
Basava, let's go.
-Let's find out what his problem is. -Basava, let's go.
Sir, we're here for Dr. Narappa.
Do I look like a fool to you? I am Dr. Narappa.
Sir, there's been an accident. Please check quickly.
You need to pay quickly.
-Where did they get injured? -On the road.
I could tell you're the intelligent one out of the two.
Thank you.
I meant the location of the injuries.
-Mamidipally Junction. -John!
You please don't even think of having kids.
Your intelligence must end with you.
Sir, the injuries are on the head and there's heavy bleeding.
Where's the patient?
It's a girl?! Holy shit!
Sir, we don't know what's wrong. We tried really hard to wake her up.
You tried?
Just a minute.
There's no use even if you take this and bang her head twice.
She'll never wake up.
Bury her body in the cemetery nearby.
What are you saying, sir? She's just injured.
Don't you understand? I treat male patients only, sir.
I'd rather treat souls and animals but women, no chance!
Women are like wolves, sir.
God created them to ruin men's lives completely.
You can look at her and tell she must've ruined so many lives.
You'd be doing the male race a favor by killing her. Just do it, sir!
Why so much hatred for women, sir?
My life has been ruined because of one such woman.
-Are there any other doctors in the village? -Not even a nurse.
If I stab this in your back right now,
will you do the surgery and nurse the wound by yourself?
John and I will go for a smoke and come back.
If she isn't awake by then...
Get to work.
-Hey! -Don't you dare say it. Go away!
Okay.
What's happening, bro?
What's that?
This village seems quite sketchy to me, Mr. John.
Are we spending the night in this wormhole?
We could go to the police station instead.
-No. No. Let's stay here. -Bad choice, right?
Hello.
Singaiah...
Singaiah, can you hear me?
Hello. I'm here.
Hello.
Do you hear me?
Okay, sir.
Why are you crying, miss?
Why do you care?
You'll feel better if you share it.
In that case, I feel like hugging you tightly and crying.
Can I hug you?
Why not? Please come.
Please.
You didn't tell me what your name was.
Baby.
You comforted me without even knowing who I am.
Your kind heart makes me want to give you a kiss.
Can I kiss you?
Actually, so many people offered it till now.
But I never said yes to any of them.
You say you're in pain.
I don't feel like saying no. So, go ahead.
Baby!
[singing randomly]
Are you wiping off the makeup?
-Isn't that blood? -It is.
But it's not my blood.
-It is hen's blood. -Hen's blood?
I wonder which egg gave birth to it.
You cheater! All women are the same!
I won't let you get out of here alive.
I'll change my name if I don't shove this stuff in your mouth.
[singing randomly]
Daddy!
Why are you yelling 'Daddy' instead of 'Mummy' when you're hurt?
Because mummy is also female.
I didn't grow up drinking mom's milk.
I grew up drinking tea.
Daddy!
Baby!
Basava, I can't find Baby.
Super cooperative figure. She went missing suddenly.
Is only Baby missing, Mr. John?
Turn around and say that again.
You had one job, Mr. John.
What's that job?
-You told me to keep an eye on the vehicle. -Where's the vehicle?
Where's the vehicle, John?
Sorry. Sorry. Sorry.
I hope you're not hurt.
Careful!
Where did she go?
She isn't a normal woman.
Hey! What are you doing here?
-What did I tell you? -Listen to me. Go get that rod.
-What did you do to the girl? -She's not a girl. She's Lady Billa.
She wasn't in an accident.
What about the blood?
-You thought that was her blood? -Yeah.
-It is hen's blood. -Hen's blood?
Yes. She's a kodi(hen)-blooded criminal.
You'll be betrayed if you trust girls. It's a fact.
But if you trust girls who wear makeup, it's even more disastrous.
John!
We spoke about the jewelry in front of her because we didn't know her nature.
If you support me, I'll kill her and bury her right here.
She is a cruse. She is a witch.
What an actor!
Bro, I give you half an hour.
Extract the information you need and leave her to me.
I can't let another man get ruined in her hands.
-I'll find out. -Hey! Where's the car?
Car? What car?
No more drama! Where's the jewelry?
You're fit. Aren't you ashamed to steal?
What do you guys do?
Are you into farming? You're also thieves, right?
Hey!
-Where's the car? -Kill her. I'll extract the truth later.
When I was escaping with the jewelry bag,
a gang followed me on bicycles.
They surrounded me, sprayed chloroform and the car...
The car...
Bro, she's cooking up another story.
Chloroform, my foot!
It's okay to trust Afghanistan Taliban.
But you can't trust a woman.
Hey!
Your mother is a woman. Sister is a woman.
I know. Both my grandmothers are woman.
In fact, my maid Manga is also a woman. And she was a hot woman.
A woman is someone who plays with a man.
What the hell! -Yeah, what the hell!
Uncle, have you seen the vehicle we came here in?
This is Bhairavakona.
Once you enter the place, there's no leaving.
To hell with them and their elevations.
I'm sure they stole our vehicle. Our jewelry and vehicle are in there.
Someone here stole it. The doctor will help us find the culprit.
-It's tough. -Why?
Are there no thieves in your village? Or, don't you know them?
I guess you don't know the history of this place.
This is unlike the other villages.
Let's go.
Sir, how far?
Jump from there. You'll be close by.
Bloody fool!
That lane right there is the murderers' lane.
All the murderers live there.
That line is the thieves' lane.
You know the Undies Gang, right? Som of them recently moved there.
That house with undies drying outside...
that's their hang-out.
Is this a village or Charlapally jail?
You won't understand like this. You definitely need a song.
"The embers of rage will fly high"
"Heart thumps with the sound of thunder"
"The village marches forward to the bells of revolt"
"Fences break; Boundaries are erased"
"They’re criminals; They’re animals"
"They have no bone of mercy"
"This is Bhairavakona"
"There will be fire soaring with revenge"
"Throats will be slit when enmity dominates"
"This atrocity knows no end Sparing a life is a sin"
"Death will be the reward for bringing justice"
"When God becomes the Devil and death satiates the soul"
"It calls for war"
"This is Bhairavakona"
When you lose your car in such a dangerous village, you don't search for it.
You'll lose your lives.
Right now, that Gypsy is more valuable than my life.
If I don't have the jewelry by tomorrow morning,
it's useless even if make it out alive.
There's another way if you want to risk it all.
What's that?
There's a lady who guards this village like the jailer in a jail.
-Her name is Peddamma. -Is she your aunt?
Why do you care, dumbo?
Let's go meet her.
Peddamma...
-I guess Peddamma went to Chinnamma. -I'll screw you if you be sarcastic.
If she has gone out all at this time of the night, it must be a big deal.
The gang is getting bigger and bigger day by day.
Of course.
There's no bigger attraction than hatred in the modern world.
Here.
The answer to all your questions.
Touch it.
Come.
Hold this hand.
Come on.
Come forward.
What are you doing with my disciples?
I came here seeking you, Rajappa.
Don't, Rajappa.
Don't get angry.
Anger is like fire.
It pretends to keep you warm and eventually burns you alive.
Let it go.
Until I behead the person who betrayed me,
the fire in me will not subside.
If you want your heart to soothe down,
I can show you another way.
What's that?
Hold this hand.
Only his death will give me fulfillment.
A snake searing with revenge will only bite.
It shows no mercy.
There you are, Basavalingam.
How do you know my name?
I know your name.
I also know about your love.
You're struggling so much for Bhumi, isn't it?
Isn't thievery a sin, Basava?
If you commit a sin and swear to use it for a good deed,
does that act turn into a holy deed?
Or does it remain a sin?
Washing away your sins isn't as easy...
as washing the blood off your hand, Basava.
-Hey, Master! -Basava!
There's a murder scene of Rao Ramesh in a Pavan Kalyan film.
Who do you think does it best?
Are you calling me and asking who does it best, Master?
Why should I stick to nabbing and kidnaps only?
Isn't Basava good enough for murders?
-Okay. You can kill him. See you at 2 tomorrow.
Sure, Master.
Hey! Hey!
-Oh, it's you. -You're an auto driver, right?
You think I don't recognize you? What's that? Chloroform?
As if it works on you.
Here, try the rod.
Hold this.
Give me that.
Come on.
Everything here is a dummy.
Except for this.
Drink it. Go ahead.
Okay, tell me this, girl.
Whose bones are those in the bag? And what are you doing with them?
Don't you know who? Didn't your boss tell you?
First answer my question.
So you're the type who does such things for money.
I have a proposal. I'll give you more money than him.
Let me go, okay?
Hey! Hey!
Who are you, sir?
Why did you come on to me?
And who gave you all this?
-What's your name? -Siddha...
Hey! Step back. Right now.
Is he the hero who came to save you?
Siddha is your name, eh? Why didn't you tell me earlier?
-Answer me. -He can't speak.
Let him go.
Alright. He can't speak.
But you do speak, right?
Whose bones are those in the bag? And what are you doing with them?
They belong to our Peddaiah.
He's the Head of our village.
His name is Jangaiah Dora.
It's been a 100 years since his passing.
What are you doing with 100 year old bones?
I hail from Pachagudem.
Greenery isn't just in the name.
Our whole village is lush green.
This Earth doesn't belong to just us.
It belongs to every living being to ever breathe on our soil.
That is why we don't claim our land.
We believe we're the children of the land.
We don't believe in getting our lands registered legally.
A guy found out about this and got all our lands registered in his name.
He made us all vacate the village.
You're not an orphan only if you don't have parents.
You're an orphan even if you're living away from our native land.
To earn a livelihood,
we had to send our kids to work as child labor.
Our lawyer is asking for money to plead our case in court.
This is my contribution.
What is this, dear?
This is our contribution. We'll eat only one meal a day from today.
It's been 2 years since we set foot on our motherland.
Please do something and get us our village back, sir.
-I beg of you, sir. -You're talking like the rest of them now.
Have some patience.
For how long, sir?
Why should our lives be destroyed because of someone else's mistake?
I've told you a 100 times already.
The 4 government officers who were supposed to testify in court also sold their souls.
How can you prove that the village belongs to you?
Do you have the documentation for your houses and fields?
Can you at least show a temple or a school that you've built?
-Grandpa... Grandpa... -Brother, what happened?
Go get some water.
What happened, grandpa?
Make me a promise, dear.
If I die, I want you to bury me in our village.
That's when I thought of a solution.
According to our village tradition,
when someone dies, we bury them to the North of the village.
I came to submit Jengaiah Dora's 100 year old ashes at the forensic lab.
That's when you saw me.
If I submit the forensic report in the court tomorrow,
they'll give permission for further investigation.
Damodar's men kidnapped me to stop that from happening.
Now that you know the truth, can you do anything about it?
Why would you help anyway?
You're also one of his men.
Let Siddha go.
What happened?
I sense something really wrong, John.
Ever since we set foot in this village, everyone has been acting weird.
That old lady inside talks as if she's done a Ph. D on my life.
-What did she say? -She mentioned Bhumi.
Boss, do that whistle.
I guess they're somewhere around.
I want the guy who stole my car to come forward...
and respectfully return the keys.
Guys, let's tell Rajappa about him.
Hey!
What's with all the hair? Is it an offering to God?
Where's my car?
Sir, that jewelry belongs to me.
Your men stole it from me.
I'm really tired. I'm in no mood to fight. Return my jewelry.
I named you Katyayini because you were born in the Pushyami star.
I went to Kanchipuram and got a peace ritual done.
I donated 10 units of cattle to Brahmins.
But then...
I didn't imagine in my wildest dreams that you'd leave me.
Mr. John, which brand do you think he's high on?
What are we talking about and what are you saying?
What do we do with his pilgrimage information?
Because this is the jewelry I got made for my loving daughter Katyayini.
We stole it from someone. Why is he claiming it now?
A pearl necklace, bangles adorned with rubies,
a waist chain embedded with 9 precious stones,
diamond rings for my daughter's engagement,
an emerald necklace, expensive anklets,
a hair accessory, earrings,
bracelets, a nose ring,
To ward off any evil eyes on her for being born in the Pushyami star,
I got a precious emerald embedded in the nose ring, you scoundrel!
Where did you steal all these from?
Answer me!
Guys, kill him!
Why are you putting on a show?
That old man is talking rubbish because he's drunk. What's wrong with you guys?
Do you really plan on killing me?
Listen. That jewelry is mine.
If you mess with me, I'll slit your throats.
He who is alive is afraid of death.
But he who is dead has no fear.
He's been dead for 10 years now.
Hey, Guna...
You want gold, you little boy?
If you wish to enter my fort and fight me,
you need not one but two times the courage.
Blood shouldn't flow in your veins.
Lava... Lava should.
Run!
Let me see what you got.
'Count 1 to 10 without a peek'
'Rat hides and the cats seek'
'All the thieves, don't you creak'
'Hush! Hush! Hide behind the lush!'
Let's go, man.
Don't go after the jewelry now. Let's run!
Listen to me, damn it!
Let's go!
Come on! Hurry!
This way.
I'm innocent. I don't know anything.
I have nothing to do with him.
John... John...
I got scared! I got scared!
I got scared!
I respect ladies a lot, ma'am.
I have great admiration, especially for female ghosts like you.
Basava, watch out!
Basava, let's go!
Come on, man!
Are you okay, John? Let's go!
John, this way!
John!
Look over there.
Where's the car?
Hurry up!
Basava, that route is blocked.
-Are there no humans in this village? -No.
-All of them are ghosts. -How do you survive here?
Because...
I'm a ghost too.
Wasn't one ghost terrifying enough?
Who asked for a whole village of ghosts?
Hey, Basava! Watch out!
Did we spend the entire night with ghosts?
Even the doctor was a ghost.
We got lucky and escaped.
-Let's get out of here. -John!
Wait.
What are you still thinking about?
How does a village vanish in the morning?
A village full of ghosts?
Why did we come here?
Why do the ghosts want the jewelry?
We need that jewelry, dude.
I need to know the truth about this village.
Hey, look over there.
John, let's go.
[chanting]
Welcome.
I've been waiting for you.
He could be a ghost too, Basava.
I feel something is fishy.
If you're praying at the temple here, I'm sure you know its history.
How did Bhairavakona vanish by morning?
The answer to all your questions lies in the Garuda Puranam.
During the reign of Sri Krishnadevarayalu,
the Garuda Puranam was a common reference text.
The Bhairavakona is discussed in it.
The gates of Bhairavakona open every 'shukla paksham' in the months of November/December...
They vanish by the time 'krishna paksham' starts.
Few enthusiasts followed the Garuda Puranam...
found Bhairavakona,
entered the village and never came back.
The King got to know about this and anticipated danger in the future.
He pulled out the last 4 pages...
He then brought the Garuda Puranam into use.
So, all the dead people come to Bhairavakona?
People who have experienced a peaceful death and a fulfilled life...
don't come to Bhairavakona.
Only those souls reeking with anger, hatred and vengeance...
come to Bhairavakona.
Are those souls stuck here forever?
When you erase the anger in your heart,
and forgo of the vengeance,
you get a chance at reincarnation.
Please explain in Telugu, sir. I don't follow.
Like there are prisons on Earth for human redemption,
this is the prison for those souls fuelled by anger.
Those souls in capture have no power.
But their hatred and vengeance is enough...
to create bloodshed here.
The eight directions and demons of the dark guard this place.
Those who try to escape...
are put in confinement with an devilish bird and tortured.
Who's the old lady?
Is she also a soul reeking with revenge?
Peddamma. The Head of Bhairavakona.
In order to erase the emotion of revenge in the souls of Bhairavakona,
she offers the fear of Lord Shiva and the love of Goddess Parvati to the souls...
and tries to change their heart.
The wand in her hand is a weapon to control the souls here.
There are many innocent people like you who became prey to their anger.
Today, the gates of Bhairavakona close until next time.
They don't open again until next year.
You'd be lucky to get out of here alive.
Don't go back in and fall into their trap.
Go away!
Don't stay in the area.
You wanted answers and there goes the much needed clarity.
It's highly dangerous to stay here. Let's leave.
Where will you go, huh?
How will we get the money?
That jewelry is our only survival option.
How do we get the jewelry back now?
Tonight, the gates of Bhairavakona will reappear.
The souls will rise again. Including Rajappa.
We should seek our jewelry where we lost them, John.
We're getting our jewelry back from Rajappa at any cost.
We didn't mortgage the jewelry in Manappuram to get it back so easily.
We can't hit him because he doesn't feel pain.
We can't kill him either because he's been dead for yeas now.
How else can we get out jewelry back?
Let's cheat, Mr. John.
-What? -Let's cheat, Mr. John.
-Are you going to cheat a ghost? -Yeah. They were also humans at one point.
Can't ghosts be cheated?
Wow!
How are you going to cheat them though?
Mr. John,
Who did Rajappa get the jewelry made for?
His daughter.
What if she shows up and asks for it?
He'll definitely give her the jewelry, right?
-But where can we find his daughter now? -Mr. John!
Rajappa has been dead for 20 years.
How would he know how his daughter looks now?
We're going to present someone as his daughter. That's how cheating works.
Which fool would agree to play a ghost's daughter?
Yeah.
Me?
Bloody hell! Why should I become the scapegoat for your personal gain?
Find someone else.
-There's no way I'm doing it. -Please do us this one favor.
Once we're out of here, you can come to us for any help.
You'll be ready to help. But I won't be alive to ask for it.
Geetha, we got out of this village alive last night.
Please trust me.
I'll make sure that you don't get hurt.
Please.
Okay. I'll do it.
But, tell me something.
What are you risking it all for?
Answer me.
Her name is Bhumi.
The girl I loved.
She came into my hopeless life...
like a beautiful kite.
It was because of my mistake...
that I lost her, Geetha.
If I do this for her,
she'll be happy wherever she is.
Please, Geetha.
One has to get through me to get to you.
A girl walked out on you...
and you're doing so much for her?
I fell in love with a guy too.
He used to chase me like a dog.
I got into a little bit of trouble and boom, he disappeared.
Bloody idiot!
I get irritated when I think of him.
The man who stands up for his girl when she's in trouble is a true lover.
You're a true lover.
Come.
Let's go get the jewelry back from my dad.
We're cheating a ghost in a village full of ghosts.
Mr. John,
we should do a complete profile on Rajappa and his daughter.
How do we find out?
Rajappa said he personally got the jewelry made.
So we need to go back to where we stole the jewelry from.
What's the update on the case?
Those 4 people are on our side, right?
Yes, sir. They're ready to testify for us in court the day after tomorrow.
Hi...
-Hi... -Hi...
Hello, baby.
I'll crush your throat if you scream.
Tell me the truth. You stole this jewelry from Rajappa, didn't you?
It's my uncle hard-earned jewelry, sir.
Will you let me finish?
It is a hard job to steal from Rajappa, sir.
Speak out.
Rajappa is from Chilukuru.
He is a dacoit.
He loves his daughter Katyayini.
My uncle used to work under him.
Rajappa got jewelry made from some of the gold that he robbed.
My uncle got greedy for that jewelry.
He wanted to tell on Rajappa to the cops and flee with the jewelry.
Hey, what is this?
It's nothing.
This is the jewelry I got made for my daughter.
-Where are you taking it? -Let go! Let go!
Rajappa fell into the searing hot gold pot and died.
My uncle started huge businesses with the jewelry he stole.
He became a top businessman and pulled the jewelry out from mortgage.
This is our family secret.
-How did you figure it out? -Rajappa told us.
Rajappa?
Do you think I'm a fool to believe that a man who died 25 years back told you this?
Join us tonight.
You'll find out.
"Victory is ours! Have no fear!"
"Move forward without hesitation"
We're writing a book on Rajappa's encounter, sir.
Are you the CI who did it? CI Rajagopal?
Geetha, note down.
Here are the photographs.
"Fill courage in your heart and keep going"
"Let’s go! Let’s go! It’s high-time"
"Pounce on with your breath as the shield"
"Boom! Let’s kill the devil"
"Your shadow is your guiding light"
"Boom! Let’s kill the devil"
"Make your fear your weapon"
"Victory is ours! Have no fear!"
Look.
She is slightly deaf. She wouldn't talk to anyone much.
She was a bright student though.
"Victory is ours! Have no fear!"
"Move forward without hesitation"
Thank you.
"Let the fire in your heart burn the cloak of darkness"
"Behead the demons that suck your blood"
"Loot whatever you find in this inevitable chase"
"Spot the cunning foxes and make them shiver"
"Boom! Let’s kill the devil"
"Your shadow is your guiding light"
"Boom! Let’s kill the devil"
"Make your fear your weapon"
Peddamma...
They escaped death by a narrow margin.
I thought they got lucky.
But they're coming back looking for death.
Nobody can change their fate this time.
Can't we stop this, Peddamma?
In this universe, the law of Karma is beyond the command of God.
Destiny will take its course.
Let's do whatever we can.
Start the ritual.
[chanting]
The souls will automatically close the gates when we try to run away, right?
I closed them beforehand and saved them the trouble.
We know that you're all ghosts.
Why are you wasting your time and energy?
We dared to show up again, right?
-Mr. John, place your hand on my heart. -Sir.
-Which side is the heart on? -Sorry, sir.
-Do you feel how fast it is beating? -Yes, sir.
It is pretty common for humans to be scared of ghosts.
But they can't know that we're scared.
Do you see it on my face?
You should try too.
So you want me to follow in your footsteps?
-Mr. John... -Sir.
-Hi. -Hello.
How long have you been dead?
-Two and a half years. -Oh, no.
-Rest in peace. -Nice to meet you.
-Can we see Mr. Rajappa? -He's talking to his father. Please wait.
Thank you.
I guess she was a receptionist when she was alive. She is very well-spoken.
Did you notice how the female ghosts have a liking for the male race?
Mr. John....
It's a ghost after all. It will eat you alive.
Not over there.
If Rajappa's arrangements are so fancy,
I wonder how fancy his father is.
Ever since I saw this jewelry,
I'm missing my daughter, dad.
She doesn't have a father or a mother.
I wonder how she's doing.
I want to see Kathyayini so badly, dad.
I can't believe he is Rajappa's dad.
Dr. Narappa passed away early on.
His son Rajappa lived longer than him.
Bhairavakona.
You can't meet her unless she also dies young like we did.
She should live a long and a happy life for 100 years, dad.
You can't have everything in life, okay?
-How dare you set foot in my fort again? -Please hear me out.
John!
What is this, sir? We brought you a gift.
Gift?
Katyayini, come.
Bloody hell!
-Dad... -You shut up!
Stop messing with us.
To hell with him!
Raju, she looks nothing like you.
Don't get all emotional just because she's claiming to be your daughter.
-Have some common sense. -Why?
Do you both have any features in common?
We convinced ourselves that you're his dad, right?
Don't look at everything from your devilish view, doctor.
-Who is this? -Your grandpa.
Bless me, grandpa!
Enough of your 'damsel in distress' act, you pathetic actress!
Rajappa, three of them are trying to fool you.
Katyayini, show him the proof.
Is it a blood report? My son doesn't have any blood.
The picture you and I got clicked at the carnival, dad.
Do you still have this?
Such a fool!
-That's not a photograph. -Is it Photoshop?
That's my life.
Hey... Hey... Please control your emotions.
Don't get emotional. I have a few questions.
If you're really his daughter, answer them correctly and I'll believe you.
How would you know about your granddaughter?
You were already dead by then.
You call us dead way too many times.
Show some bloody respect to the dead people.
First question.
-What's your name? -Katyayini.
-Full name? -Veera Venkata Naga Satya Katyayini Devi.
Your dad's favorite curry?
Tell him it is chicken broth, dear.
Also tell her how you like to lick it with onion and lemon on the side.
Let her answer. Why are you leaking the answers?
-Next question. -Dad, stop it.
Katyayini, remember the toy I bought you at the carnival?
Yes, I remember.
When the toy broke, you cried and starved yourself for 2 days.
Correct?
Yeah, dad. I remember.
Tell him what toy it was and prove to your grandpa that you are Katyayini.
Answer me.
Sir, how can she remember some toy she had as a kid?
But she said she remembers.
Tell us which toy it is, dear.
Speak out, Katyayini.
You hold your horses.
Answer me, dear.
Answer your dad, Katyayini.
Showing up in a half saree doesn't prove that you're his daughter.
It was a toy elephant.
Elephant, my foot!
Dad...
Katyayini...
Was that a hi-five?
-It was a mosquito. -Too many of them.
Mosquitoes.
He deserves it.
Katyayini...
I thought I'll never get to see you again.
I'm glad that I got to see you now.
Shall I show you some magic?
-Magic? -Yeah.
That is me.
And that little girl is you.
Dad!
Look. Look. Look.
Wow!
My sweetheart!
Okay, you tell me.
Looks like he believes us. Do you think he'll return the jewelry?
She was so over the top that he might give us the jewelry on his body as well.
You're right.
I got to see my daughter after so long.
[chanting]
I left the world when you were just 10 years old.
I was worried that I'd leave again without seeing you.
Dad...
I got to see you, talk to you.
My life is fulfilled.
May God bless you.
Bye, dear.
Take care of her.
Your daughter is also gold, sir. Just like your words.
50 kilos of gold in a woman's form.
But she's not decked in gold.
She grew up without a father, as an orphan.
It's okay, Katyayini. Let's go.
Take care, dad.
It's okay, dear. Dad's love will keep you strong. Let's go.
-Bye, dad. -Take care, my dear.
Just a minute.
I forgot something.
-Sarabha, get me the jewelry bag. -Okay, brother.
This is for you, dear.
You don't have to do that, dad
What's your problem, girl?
Your dad's giving you jewelry. You're going to get married soon.
You should accept it and get back home.
Sorry, sir.
It's okay. Take it, dear.
It's for you, my love.
-Bye, dad. -Take care, dear.
There's something in your pocket. I guess it's your daughter's.
Care to give it to her?
Mr. John, when will you learn your lesson?
You need to show some maturity at least once in your life.
I didn't want us to miss out on the anklets.
This is the most special thing I've done.
There's an almond-sized birthmark on your left foot.
Birthmark?!
I got these specially made to cover that up.
Let me tie it on your ankle.
Dad...
Come, dear.
Katyayini, he's elder to you.
It's so nice to make him touch your feet. Let's get going.
Come here, my dear..
Let it be, dad.
Sir, I'll do it. Don't take the trouble. Give it to me.
-Come here, my dear. -No, dad.
Show me your ankle.
-Where's the birthmark, dear? -Are you seriously asking that, you fool?
I told you she's not your daughter.
She put on an act to steal the jewelry.
There are so many questions in the world and you chose to ask about the toy.
The elephant toy is quite evident in this photograph.
So, aren't you my daughter, Katyayini.
She's an Oscar-worthy actress.
-Geetha, get into the car. -Let's go!
You're going to end up back here once you're dead.
Look over there.
Move out of the way, Peddamma.
People don't come to Bhairavakona for no reason, Basava.
Fate.
It's your fate that places you in these lanes.
A girl is waiting here for you.
She's the girl he loved.
What?!
The girl he loved is dead?!
Hmm.
Why did you kill me?
Speak out! Why did you kill me?
Everything you see isn't true, Bhumi.
Hear me out once.
Are you going to say that you didn't kill me?
Yes! I only killed you!
I killed you with my bare hands.
But I died that very second.
He's narrating the Cow-Tiger tale, dear.
But he's not the cow.
He's a wolf who cheats the people who trust him.
I don't hate you for killing me.
But because of you, my people don't have a home today.
No punishment can justify the mistake you've done.
Whatever I'm doing now is for your village and people, Bhumi.
How many times are you going to lie?
He shouldn't exit Bhairavakona.
You took a woman's life.
You cheated a father.
I'll squeeze your heart out when you're alive.
I swear on your village deity Sangameshwar.
I'm telling the truth, Bhumi.
You should go, dear.
I'll punish him for his sin.
Do you think we're fools to come here knowing the village is full of ghosts?
He's finishing what you started.
Basava!
He's lying, right?
He's trying to cheat me again.
Am I right?
It was him who ended your life.
Why do you care about him?
You wanted to witness his death so badly, right?
That is why we summoned Basava to Bhairavakona.
Why are you disturbed now? Go take a look.
I want to know the truth.
Look for yourself.
What's in this hand that's making everyone afraid?
Is it the truth?
Rage believes in the lie.
Hatred believes in the truth.
Try and forgive him for once.
You'll realize the truth.
Basava...
Those who can't forgive,
don't have the right to love.
Those who can't love,
don't have the right to demand the truth.
You've only seen Ravana in Basava who kidnapped you.
The 4 pages missing from the Garuda Puranam...
will reveal the truth to you.
Follow the path they show you.
You'll find the Ram that you initially fell in love with.
"I speak the ultimate truth, my beloved"
"I’m deeply in love with you"
"I speak the ultimate truth, no matter what"
"My life is an ode to you"

"You have written divine prose of love"
"I speak the ultimate truth, my beloved"
"I’m deeply in love with you"
"I speak the ultimate truth, no matter what"
"My life is an ode to you"
-Hello. -Yes?
Pack your bags and catch a bus to somewhere urgently.
-Why? -Because Shankar will kill you otherwise.
Why will he kill me?
The girl Shankar asked us to look after, I've decided to save her.
If he finds out, he'll kill you. Get out of there immediately.
Hello, Basava...
Where's Shankar brother?
Our men are back from jail. So he went directly to kill her.
Hey... Hey, Siddha...
Listen to me, dude.
Hey, Siddha!
Listen to me! I said come here!
Come here.
Bhumi!
Hear me out.
Bhumi, hear me out once!
I'm trying to help you.
Bhumi!
Hear me out, Bhumi! Please!
Please!
Don't go out alone.
Siddha, don't come with me. Go the other way.
Bhumi!
Run away!
You're after all a woman.
Where's all the arrogance coming from?
I've seen people who gathered witnesses and threatened me.
But you stressed me out with just the bones of a dead man.
Is this the DNA certificate you're going to present in court?
I spared your life till now for these.
These aren't just Jangaiah Dora's ashes.
These are the ashes of all your ancestors.
We didn't spare any bone in your graveyard.
I don't get why you're so desperate to save a village that doesn't even have 30 houses.
If we let you go, you'll only make the situation worse.
What's with the needle? Are you going to sew my shirt buttons?
Red scorpion's poison.
It rushes in your blood like a black cobra.
It won't even give you the time to admit where your assets and debts are.
Don't underestimate a woman.
It was women who killed deadly demons like Narakasura and Mahishasura.
Don't let her go.
Kill her!
Hey!
If you come closer, you'll be dead!
Hey! Hey!
Stop! Stop!
Sir, the truth you're about to tell me decides the fate of all the villagers.
He gave me 50 lakhs. What do you have to offer?
Petty money?
Sir, please don't say that.
He doesn't get it, guys. Drag him in.
Let's go.
I'll give you one crore, sir.
One crore each.
One crore!
-For saying the truth? -Yeah, say it for the money at least.
Okay. Get the money ready by the next hearing.
3 crores is not a joke.
How do you plan on arranging the money? By robbing someone?
I'll rob from the same people who dragged them on to the streets.
You'll lose your life if things so south. Are you in your right mind?
I don't care, man.
The girl I love died in my hands.
She's dead, dude. Stop saying you love her.
So what if she's dead?
Is my love going to fade?
How can my love just fade?
If it can, it's not true love.
Please save him.
[chanting]
"Praise be to you, Oh God Almighty, Lord Shiva"
"Praise be to you, The Fearless One"
"Praise be to you, Oh God Almighty, Lord Shiva"
"Praise be to you, The Fiery One"

"He dances like fire and makes the Earth plates quiver"
"He showcases his ultimate form as the Divine Light"

"Praise be to you, Visweswara, The Fiery One"
"Praise be to you, Siva Sankara, The Fearless One"
"Praise be to you, Visweswara, The Fiery One"
No! No! Don't send me to hell.
I'm not leaving without killing the man who killed me and orphaned my daughter.
If he dies, your daughter will become an orphan again.
He realized his mistake and raised your daughter as his own.
Dad, tell them to stop. We'll surrender them to the police.
How can I simply let go of the jewelry I got made for my daughter's wedding?
We found the truth when we went looking for your daughter.
Katyayini is living under Murali's shelter.
Should I just tell her he's not her dad and kill him saying he's your dad's killer?
You have only two options now.
Kill him for revenge. Or think of your daughter and bury your revenge.
I don't believe you. You're lying through your teeth.
No, it's the truth.
Peddamma showed me...
what really happened.
You lost your love before it could bloom.
Would you really die for it?
Basava, she'll be gone in some time.
It's not just her. My son Rajappa will be gone too.
And he'll never come back.
Only those with rage and hatred have a place here.
What is this, sir?
My granddaughter has a lovely family to take care of her now.
Please keep this to save the village.
Goodbye.
So you're not coming back with us?
Emotion doesn't suit your face.
I'm not going anywhere.
As long as I detest women,
Bhairavakona is my postal and physical address
Why do you hate women so much, sir? What really happened?
Once upon a time,
-when I was not a ghost, -Okay...
We don't have the time right now.
Come see me for the next 'Sukla Paksham'.
I'll tell you the story over a cup of green tea.
I wished to see you dead all these days.
But after realizing who you truly are,
I wish I could come back to life..
I had died that along with you, Bhumi.
It's your love that brought me till here.
And it's your love that will keep me going.
But my love binds you.
-You should find someone else. -Bhumi!
I've always wanted to tell you something.
Can I say it now?
I'm sorry.
I love you.
Oh, shit! It's late.
