Nine times seven is sixty-three.
Nine times eight is seventy-two.
Nine times nine is eighty-one.
Nine times ten is ninety.
Now, all of you know the table of nine, right?
Yes, teacher, we do.
Now, I'll share an interesting observation about the table of nine.
-What happens when we add two and seven? -Nine.
How about adding three and six?
Nine.
And four plus five?
Nine.
Sister, the phone is ringing.
Hey, pay attention!
What is five plus four?
Sister, Badiri might be calling.
BADIRI
-Alright, you continue teaching. -Okay, teacher.
Hello, Badiri.
It's been very cloudy here since morning.
Is it raining there?
No, Ganga.
All the boats have gone out to sea, Ganga.
What happened?
We couldn't make it on time.
It's too late now.
Will you come back then?
How can we return, Ganga?
All of us are in debt.
There's no alternative to migration.
The others are in even worse condition.
Their faces are worn out.
What about my father?
Your father is here too.
What are you guys planning to do now?
Ganga, wait a minute. I'll call you later.
Hello, Badiri!
Badiri!
Sir!
I'll call you later.
Sir! Sir…
Who are you?
Badiri. Fisherman, sir.
Why didn't you people go fishing?
We got late, sir.
-All the boats had left, sir. -Yes, sir.
-Yes. -Why were you late in the first place?
Sir…
Oh!
You were the ones who quarreled on the train and got thrown off, right?
Agent Manoj told me.
Aren't you ashamed?
You don't have food to eat,
but you have the audacity to get into fights!
It's not like that, sir.
Now return the ticket money and the advance you took,
and get out of here!
-Sir, please! -Please, sir!
Forgive us, sir.
You're right, but, sir, please don't be angry at poor people like us.
-Show us a little mercy, sir. -Please, sir.
We've been working for your company for years, sir.
This has never happened before.
Please, sir.
-Forgive us, sir. -Yes, sir. We won't repeat this mistake.
-Please give us one more chance, sir. -Spare us this one time, sir.
If we don't go fishing, we can't survive even a month, sir.
We'll die of starvation.
Otherwise, we'll have no choice but to take our own lives, sir.
-Yes, sir. -Please give us two boats, sir,
or we'll be jobless the whole year.
We who trap fish by casting nets will be stuck in a debt trap forever.
You know how hard we work, sir.
-Please, sir. -Please, give us two boats.
-Yes, sir… -Give us two boats, sir.
-Please, sir. -Give us two boats, sir.
I beg you, sir.
-Mukund… -Yes?
We still have two spare boats left, right?
-Those old Andhra boats? -Yes, those.
Give them to these fishermen who made it late.
Okay.
-Thank you, sir! -Thank you, sir!
Come on, let's move!
-Go and meet Mukund sir. -Okay, sir.
However, you shall be paid lower wages.
-Sir? -Sir…
You made a mistake, right? You should be punished.
If you agree, take the boats. If not, I'll leave.
-Sir… -It's not fair, sir.
Sir…
-Hey, wait a minute, everyone. -Sir, please.
Alright, sir. We accept.
Sir. Let's go.
Yes. Okay!
I'll call you later.
Two teas, please.
Yes, sir!
Greetings, Seth!
-How are you, Jogarao? -I'm good.
-Make two more teas. -Yes, sir!
Why are you late today?
It's a long story, Seth. Let it be.
-But this time, you need to pay us more. -Why?
This isn't regular work. It's risky business.
We're catching fish for you without you spending a single penny.
So we need to be compensated accordingly.
If this leaks out, I'll be thrown in prison.
Don't worry.
You do this every time, don't you?
Seth,
this time, we have men on our boat from the neighboring village.
We need to deceive them and carry out our business.
Moreover, we don't get along with them.
They won't cooperate with us on anything.
If they come in the way, pay them off.
No need.
If they cause trouble, their bodies will be among the fish you get.
You can throw them into the sea.
Alright.
Keep this ten thousand.
It's not enough, Seth.
-We want twenty-five thousand. -Yes.
Sure, but whatever you catch
besides fish will be ours.
What do you mean?
From oysters to sea turtles, whatever you catch is ours.
Of course, it's yours. What will we do with them?
Here, take this.
Okay, Seth. We'll see you later.
Goodbye, Seth.
Yes, Naren ji told me. Otherwise, I'd never have given you the boats.
Don't let this happen again. Got it?
-Yes, sir. -Yes.
-Sir… these are my men. -Sir!
Just give us a boat, sir. Please.
Fine. You drive the boat.
-Thank you, sir! -Thank you.
The rest of you, get into another boat.
Sir, five of us are from one village.
I'm the driver, sir.
Please give us a boat, sir.
Then what about us?
You can't get into the boat I steer.
You caused a similar ruckus and made us miss the train.
-Chencha, stop. -Chencha…
-Hey… -Chencha, calm down.
Why are you all arguing like this?
Does it work like that?
Boats don't go out for just five people.
If you want a boat, then everyone must get in.
Otherwise, leave!
At least we got a boat.
-Why are you causing a scene now? -Forget it!
-Why do you care if they're with us? -We have to go fishing,
-We'll make them do all the work. -no matter what.
-Alright, sir, we'll leave. -Okay, sir.
Good.
Eight of you share one boat.
-Yes, sir. -Gather your equipment,
update your accounts, and leave quickly.
-Understand? Now move, move, move! -Okay, sir.
-Thank you. -Thank you.
-Thank you, sir. -Thank God.
-Sir! -Yes?
Sir, those two boats are quite old.
They've just been painted over.
They're not fit for deep-sea fishing.
And those boats can only carry six people.
There are eight here.
The people going into the sea didn't complain.
Why are you overthinking, Subash?
Just focus on sending them into the sea soon.
Understand?
-Ganga! -Badiri!
We got the boats.
-Is it? -Yes.
We requested Seth, and he gave us two boats.
Even your father is going in the second boat.
Okay, Badiri. All the best.
-Hail Goddess Gangamma! -Hail Goddess Gangamma!
We go on expeditions in boats from Sangrol Port.
We fish for twenty days in the sea and rest on shore for ten days.
We have to hand over all the fish we catch to the seths.
Once we do, we go fishing again.
This seems like an old boat!
Every boat consists of a captain and seven workers.
The captain drives the boat.
The workers catch the fish by casting the nets and storing them.
No one is greater than the other.
Only when the captain steers the boat to where there are plenty of fish
can the workers cast the nets and catch them.
Hey, everyone, come here.
Come here.
I'm the captain of this boat.
You all are workers. Keep that in mind.
-Srina! -Brother!
Once you, Subba, Joseph, and Paidayya catch the fish,
store them properly in the ice.
Srina, you're responsible for keeping the count.
Okay, brother!
Damn, my boat is full of useless people.
We skilled workers are here, alright?
Ask us. We will teach you.
I'm talking about you. We know how talented you people are.
Watch our work and you will see for yourself.
Then go and handle the boat maintenance.
That's fine, but…
-Joga… -Yes.
This is an old boat.
They just repainted it and handed it to us.
The wiring is in bad shape. Do not handle the machinery recklessly.
We know how to handle all that. You do not need to give advice.
I am the senior captain here.
You go manage the fishing nets and crates.
Paidayya, stay close and watch him.
Somaiah will do the cleaning.
-Okay. -Chencha,
you take care of the cooking. You are fit for that.
Okay, you just sit and eat.
Hey, learn to speak with respect!
Enough said. Now leave.
We just began fishing, and the lapwings are already rattling, Badiri.
That is a bad omen.
Whatever it is, we have to continue fishing.
Carry on!
Hey, everyone, get ready with the nets.
We are heading to the fishing zone.
Do not stare at me. Your eyeballs might fall out.
I am alerting you after checking the fish finder.
Be ready!
-Hey, are you blind? -Hey!
-It was a mistake. Forget it. -Hey!
Do not interfere every time, Badiri.
There are only three of you.
I can toss you into the sea.
Hey, the cooking section is under my control.
If I mix something in the food,
your entire group will be gone in one go.
You brat! How dare you?
-What are you blabbering? -What the hell?
How dare you lay your hands on our guy?
We fought on land. Now we are fighting at sea.
How can we fish like this?
Behave yourself at least while you are on this boat.
Hey, Badiri!
Do not act like a hero on my boat. Save that for your village.
Don't try to act too smart. Shut up and get to work.
The signal is coming in. Get the nets ready.
-Take it out! -Hey, take out all the nets!
-Untie the knot! -Where are the balloons?
Where did you keep them?
-Just pull it! -The nets are here!
-Hey, Subba, pull those nets! -Yeah?
-Get them! -Pull!
-That's it! -Cast the nets!
Badiri, cast it!
-Hail Goddess Gangamma! -Hail Goddess Gangamma!
-Cast the nets!
Hail Goddess Gangamma!
Joseph, let the border planks loose.
The Arabian Sea is like a treasure chest of fish,
unlike our Bay of Bengal.
Industrial waste is poured into the Bay of Bengal,
so fish do not populate there much.
But the Arabian Sea is different.
Despite many jetties and thousands of boats,
the sea still has more fish to offer.
Is this all, Kokila?
The fish seem too small. Where are the big ones?
We are not going to Gujarat to fish like your man.
These are the small fish that come near our shore.
Don't act like you do not know that.
That's true.
If our waters had big fish, why would our men need to migrate?
It is our fate. Put two more, will you?
Take these.
Fish for sale!
If Chinna slaps you You'll get knocked out
Why is my beard not growing? Should I run my blade in reverse?
If Chinna slaps you…
-Mom, can you make me a cup of tea? -Okay.
Seems like a costly phone. Where did you get it?
A friend gifted it to me.
Who is that friend who can gift you an expensive phone?
You would not know. Forget it.
Hey…
Did you see how arrogantly he is talking?
Looks like he is becoming a brat hanging around with those useless friends.
Who knows what kind of trouble he will bring on us?
Where is Chinna? He hasn't come yet.
-Quick, get the boat in the water. -Okay!
Bring the rope!
-Why are you so late, you lazy fellow? -Hey, Naveen!
-Bring the gas. -I almost got caught.
My sister stopped me, but I made an excuse and came.
She is a strange one.
Like a hummingbird among crows.
She's educated, right?
She will sniff us out for sure. Be careful around her.
I'm not scared of her. You know how daring we are.
Oh, what great courage!
You're still a coward.
You always go after tiny deals instead of the big ones.
Uncle Lingam,
if we get caught doing the big ones, we won't even make it out of jail, right?
Stop fussing.
Don't overthink!
Is it enough for you to have just clothes and a watch?
Don't you want a bike to impress the girls?
You have to earn it.
Uncle, we do not need all that. Just tell us what to do.
That's right. No one can guide blind horses.
It's your fate.
This time, it is liquor bottles. Expensive stuff.
Get them without breaking any.
Now that you have told us, you can relax.
Come on, let's go, guys.
He is such a show-off.
Take this!
Hey, take off the anchor. -Okay!
Damn, it's so hard.
Hey, pick up the card!
Why are you always staring into the sea?
Nothing.
I'm hoping a mermaid will show up.
What? A mermaid?
Yes, old man!
If anyone sees a mermaid, their luck turns around.
Oh, shut up! Those are just rumors.
I've been fishing since childhood. I've never seen a mermaid.
That's why you're still stuck here, old man.
You have no respect for elders, idiot!
A piranha should bite your butt.
I once heard about a fool like you
who threw a net toward the sky to catch stars.
Keep talking about mermaids, and you'll end up like a jellyfish.
Keep quiet.
-Do you even know -Make your move.
how many stories there are about mermaids?
That is exactly my point.
They are all fairy tales.
If you meet one, marry her and start populating the ocean.
The captain told you to cook, not mess with the stove.
Have you gone blind, Mr. Mermaid? I'm fixing the stove.
Damn it, I am only getting tens.
What are you doing?
I'm fixing the potential holes in the boat.
What a genius!
You should fix the holes after they form, not now.
The sea will not give you time to fix the holes.
It will swallow you whole.
That is called precaution, Mr. Srinu!
Let him know if you have any unnecessary holes. He'll fix those too.
-Hey, Srina! -I haven't won a single game.
-Hey! -Srina!
Looks like the tiger's calling you. Go answer him, goat.
What did you say?
I'm saying, why don't you go play that game, "Tiger and Goat" with him?
-I'll sort you out later. -Go.
Srina! Srina!
-Yes! -Why are you late? It's your turn now.
That Chenchaiah and Badiri are crossing their limits, brother.
Hey, Srina, don't get cocky.
I'll handle this myself.
We must do something.
They should not say a word until we reach the shore.
I'll take care of them. You just focus on the game.
-Hey, Chencha! -Yes!
The birds and seagulls are hovering over the nets.
Looks like it's time to hunt.
Yeah, even the nets are looking tight.
-Alright, pull the net. -Let's go.
Hey, don't just stand there staring. Pull the nets quickly.
We need to remove the border planks first to pull the nets.
Go neutralize the gear.
We know that! Don't make a fuss!
-Hey, come on! -Let's go!
-Pull it! -Pull it!
-Come on! -Pull it!
-Pull it in! -Pull it.
-Quick! -Pull it.
-Come on! -Pull it!
-Pull it hard!
-Come on! -Put your back into it.
-Pull it! -Reel it in!
-Come on! -Quick!
-Reel it in! -Pull it up!
-Yes, come on! -Pull it!
-Be careful! -Bring it in.
Look at what we scored!
It's a black pomfret.
-This is a good haul! -That's great.
Look, a garfish.
That day, our fates changed.
Our first hunt was a massive success.
Our joy was as boundless as the sea.
-Let's separate all this and store it. -Our dear Goddess Gangamma
showered a basket of love upon us!
The fish fell into our nets on their own!
Not just black pomfret,
we caught triangle fish, Spanish mackerel, and tuna too!
Tuna spots always mean a big haul.
This is what happens when you trust experienced hands.
I made you cast the net in just the right spot,
and right away, we got a big catch!
Seth makes so much money only because he trusts people like me.
Oh, so now you think you deserve all the credit?
Of course!
Figuring out where there's mud
-or rocks underwater, where there's depth, -There he goes again.
reading the depth finder and the fish finder,
these things aren't easy!
Man, we're taught all that during diving lessons.
This is all basic stuff, buddy.
Yeah, stop acting like you're the only one who knows everything.
It was my mistake to argue with you.
What would a fox know about the taste of butter?
Stop bragging about you and your family!
Shut up!
Catching fish isn't the hard part.
The real skill lies in keeping them safe.
If someone says tomorrow that a fish from Jogarao's boat was spoiled,
it would be a stain on my pride.
So, stay sharp and sort the fish carefully.
Srina!
Otherwise, I'll whip you all into shape!
What a bunch I've got here!
Throw him into the sea. The world might just be better off!
Shall we?
Just get on with the work!
The happiness after the hunt made us forget all the friction
between the two villages, at least for a while.
We danced without even realizing it!
We caught seer fish! That'll pay off all my debts!
We caught red snapper! I'm giving them to the boat owner!
When sea fish end up in our hands…
Guys, the food is ready!
The first catch was solid.
Should be at least two tons, right?
Who's the captain?
Alright, but tell us about the next hunt now.
We shouldn't break the momentum.
Shall we cast the nets tomorrow morning?
Tonight would be better.
Tonight?
Are you serious, old man?
My body's already hurting.
After we cross the barrier reef, we'll cast the nets.
We can't go hunting if we're worried about our bodies.
We need to cast in the same spot where we found the tuna. Right here.
Why are you acting like you know it all? We know it too.
We'll cast the nets tonight, and right here.
-Joga! -Yes?
Looks like the net rope is worn out. Should we tie it or replace it?
It's in good condition. There's no risk.
Don't give unnecessary suggestions.
What's wrong with what he said?
Everyone should stay within their limits!
Even serving you food feels like a waste.
Joga, don't you even know how to behave during meals?
Ignore him, Badiri.
Ganga must be thinking about you.
What happened?
Why are you late?
Oh…
I got a tattoo for you!
For me?
Then where's my name?
My sweet, naive Ganga,
if I tattoo your name, the whole village will know.
So I got it like this.
This wave is you, and this boat is me.
Just like this boat can't move an inch without the wave,
I can't move without you.
A tattoo hurts, right?
How did you bear it?
I can bear any pain if I think of you.
-Pull! -Hold that.
-Hey, Srinu! -Pull…
Badiri!
-Come on! -Hold it.
Pull it! Come on!
-Pull it! -Come on!
-Come on, pull! -Pull it.
-Badiri, pull tight! -Pull it.
-Come on! -Pull it!
-Reel it in! -Pull it!
-Pull hard. -Come on, turn it!
Bring it in.
Pull it!
-Pull it! -Hold on to it!
-Hey, Srina! -Srina!
-Someone, grab the tube! -Srinu! Srinu!
-Point that way!
Hey, Srina!
Badiri, grab the torch!
-Srina! Srina! -Srinu!
Srina!
-Srina! -There! There he is!
-Quick! Let's get him! -Srinu!
-Over there! -There he is.
-Srinu! -Badiri, this way!
Srinu!
-Throw the tube! -Srinu!
-Guys, throw the tube and pull them up! -Hey, Srinu!
Grab that!
Hold it.
-Pull the rope! -Catch it!
-Hold it. -Pull the rope.
-Pull it. -Come on.
-Pull! -Pull the rope!
-Come on! -Pull the rope, man!
-Harder! -Srinu!
-Hold this. -Pull the rope!
-Bring them up. -Srinu, hold it tight.
-Pull! -Pull him in!
-Srinu… -Srinu!
-Check on him. -Hey, Srinu!
-Srinu! -Srinu…
-Srinu! Srinu! -Srinu! Srinu!
-Bro… -Srinu…
-Srinu! -Srinu, get up!
-Srinu… -Hey, Chencha…
Srinu…
He's freezing from the cold seawater.
Get some hot water to warm him up.
He won't breathe properly until we warm him up.
I'll get it right now.
Move aside, guys!
What's happening now? You guys are making a big fuss.
-His life's not in danger yet. -Srinu, get up.
-Srinu! -Is that so?
Then let's throw you into the sea and see what happens!
Badiri's been saying to change the rope for ages!
If you'd just listened…
You…
We should toss this idiot into the sea and be done with it.
-I'll throw him… -Hey!
-I'll kill you. -Move aside.
-Maybe dumping you in the sea would help. -Stop it.
Stop it! Enough!
He made a mistake out of ignorance. You want to make one on purpose?
Focus on saving him first, or he'll die!
Come on!
Get back to your cabin.
It's better to return to the village than work with these fools.
What a mess!
Hello…
Hello, hello, hello!
This isn't working.
Even this one's dead!
God, how are we supposed to fish now? than work with these fools.
