Bachhala Malli (2024) Movie Script

Malli...
The walls are on the
verge of collapsing from the rain.
Can you fix them?
They haven't collapsed yet, have they?
I'll do that later.
[kids asking for donations]
Hey, don't ask him..
He won't give you anything.
Donations...!
Don't leave him until
he donates 100 rupees.
Why are you staring at me?
Donate something for the orphans.
Hey, he took away our collection box.
Didn't I tell you already that
he won't give you a penny?
WELCOME TO TUNI MUNCIPAL CORPORATION
Hey, hey! get to work.
Get to work. Get to work.
Hey, stitch properly,
Hey, Malli...
Why is he sleeping without working?
He finished his work, sir. He has
stitched all the bags before sleeping.
Where? These ones?
-Yes, sir.
Okay, get back to work quickly.
The load needs to be dispatched.
Hey, Move aside.
Move aside.
Give me MC half.
MC half, please.
I am giving that.
Hey, I ordered two pieces of fish...
I'm sending them now.
-How much longer will it take?
Just five more minutes.
Make it quick.
No one is in this seat.
This table is free; let's sit here.
Bro! one omelet.
-Hey Kiddo!
Brother!
-Clean the table.
Brother,
someone has already reserved this table.
He will leave in five minutes. Wait a bit.
If he comes we'll handle him.
First, take our order.
Come on, take the order.
Who allowed you to sit here?
Brother, didn't you just finish
having your drinks?
Who said, I'm done?
I'll drink for another two hours.
I'll drink until sunrise.
Who are you to comment on how much
I should drink and to what extent?
Listen, brother.
I don't care if you drink
until sunrise or tomorrow's sunset.
We have sat here,
now go and sit at some other place.
You...?
I don't think they really feel pain,
uncle..
Hey, move away...
Hey, get lost.
Close the shutter.
If the police show up,
they'll take us all.
Who served him the drink?
He's broken everything here.
Get them out.
Get all of them out.
Bachala Malli.
10th grade.
District topper.
Hey, my son's photo has been
published in the newspaper.
Look here!
Bachala Malli.
10th grade.
District topper.
Hey, my son!
No one else can achieve that.
Hey, Malli..
Father! Father!
-Malli! Malli!
Dad, be careful...
you might fall.
Hey, hey, wait, wait...
The photo that was published in
yesterday's newspaper wasn't good.
Please click a good one this time.
Okay, sir.
Son, lift your head.
Son, chain, chain...
Let it be seen.
Not like that...
Wait, let me do...
Yes, like that. This looks fantastic.
Dad, please join me in the picture.
No, son. It's you who has secured
District 1st rank, it's your photo.
I'll feel good if we both
are together in a picture.
Satyanarayana sir, loosen yourself.
Don't be so stiff, Dad.
Look how messy your hair is...
And you were teaching me...
Where is Raghava?
I don't see him around...
Raghav is envious of you because
you secured District 1st rank.
Please understand, brother.
You promised to pay me back on time.
Sundaram, excuse me for this one time.
I'll pay you back within one week.
I heard that you have had
a loss in your businesss.
I have lost all hope on you,
let me ask your father.
Why would you drag my father
into this silly matter?
I'll arrange it in two-three days.
God knows how you'll arrange it.
You made me a fool for helping you out.
Sundaram Uncle...
What are you doing here?
Your father just left.
Take this.
Please do not belittle my father ever,
okay?
The whole village knows that your
son had a second marriage with me,
and you know it too.
Despite knowing everything, you gave
all your property to your elder grandson.
This isn't right.
He has legal rights over that.
I entrusted you with money for your bag
business, but you squandered it all.
I told myself, "It's just money, I can let
it go..."
"but at least I still have my pride."
Yet today,
you're stripping me of that too.
I don't want them to
enter my house at all.
Forget about the property, he doesn't
even want to give his name to my son.
When he grows up, how can I answer him?
I would give up my life right now,
along with my son.
Padma, please stop.
I'll talk to him.
Stop, Padma.
I'm not going to be
intimidated by her antics.
Ask her to die through
if she really intends to.
This is my last warning to you,
Satyanarayana.
If you want to be her husband,
get out of my house and never come back.
If you want to be my son, her husband,
and his father,
come in and forget about her.
What is this, uncle?
It has become habitual of you to display
your anger on either mom or on food.
Eat it. I said, eat your food.
Your Dad loves you so much.
He'll soon come back.
He left me, now I don't want him.
Let's not throw words in the
heat of the moment, uncle.
January 18th, 1985.
I'll never forget this date, Rajyam.
Hey, smoke take this.
you continue...
Move aside..
You are the right person in our
batch to do it. Take it and smoke.
I don't want it.
-Have it.
Oh, it's here.
Inhale deep.
Blow Smoke O's..
Hey, are you smoking there?
He got us.
No, he didn't.
He got you all.
Don't reveal my name.
Do you come to college to study,
or just to pick up these useless habits?
If I let you go unpunished,
others will be encouraged by your example.
Hey, Malli!
Your father wants
to see you as a successful man
Why did you turned as stupid.
Go and come with your father tomorrow.
I'll talk to him.
I can't call my father.
If you want to talk, talk to me.
What's with this attitude?
Your father must come
here and answer to me.
Only then can you study in this
college or you will be rusticated.
Do it. Are you threatening me?
I'm not scared.
Ananth! Get me that TC file.
Are you bringing your father,
or should I go ahead and issue the TC?
If you maintain this attitude,
you won't succeed in life.
When I was leading my goats on the road,
a tractor ran over them and hit the herd.
I said I'll pay you.
Two goats were killed.
Whenever I ask about it,
they respond arrogantly.
How dare he smoke in front of his father?
Pets should be kept in the backyard.
If they are not and they
come in front of my tractor,
I won't hesitate to ram into them.
"Such anger is unnecessary, isn't it?"
"When lies infiltrate life,
it turns hollow."
"Time spares no one..."
"Like a mother, she bears witness."
"A man filled with ego can never thrive.
Darkness prevails!"
"What philosophy could explain this?"
Uncle.. uncle...
Come, let's go!
"Why not look within yourself?"
"History is a lesson,
The past a moral teacher."
"Beginnings and endings.
What will they reveal?"
"A reflection, nothing more."
"Oh Sumathi, Oh Vemana,
let wisdom prevail!"
"And take the right step forward."
"If the world stops moving,
If the sun stands still,"
"This spinning globe
becomes a blazing inferno."
"When the ocean breaches
its shores in fury"
"Isn't that the end of an era?"
"If answers elude us,
Destruction itself raises questions."
Where will you go after winning the money?
Keep playing...
Hey, play...
Keep it...
Uncle...you go inside.
"Every person consumed by ego,"
"Though victorious,
ends up lonely in life's finale."
"Those intoxicated by indulgence,"
"Turn into beasts or
slaves to their vices."
"Can wounds heal while the body remains?"
"What remains,
the scars silently unveil the truth."
"How can we nurture
love if distances grow?"
"Anger must be washed away with tears."
"If the world stops moving,
If the sun stands still,"
"This spinning globe
becomes a blazing inferno."
"When the ocean breaches
its shores in fury"
"Isn't that the end of an era?"
"If answers elude us,
destruction itself raises questions."
Greetings!
-Greetings!
Raju sir, should I read the list?
As usual,
Mr. Ganapathi Raju has prepared a list...
stating who will be operating
their businesses in which area.
Bheemavaraam - Vishwanath Gangaraju.
You may do your business there.
Akividu - Kothuru Jaggarao, you take that.
Sir, you gave me Akividu, but the
scope of business is too small there, sir.
Okay, sir.
Tanuku - Subbarao.
Pithapuram - Mr. Bhaskar,
you may take this area.
Miryalaguda...
Mr. Balaji Raju, it's for you.
Hey, Balaji.
-Yes, Uncle.
I heard last time you sold
below-par quality goods.
If you do that again,
you'll be dismissed from the union.
I'll take care of that this time, Uncle.
Is it over?
-Over sir.
Mr. Raju! Move aside.
Mr. Raju!
-Yes, Shekhar?
You didn't add my name to the list.
I'll see what I can do the next year.
Sir, I am in dire need of money.
If I could get the
business in Miryalaguda,
with the profits I make, I thought
I could do to operation my daughter.
Please do me this favour, sir.
Everyone has their own needs.
I need to look after all.
What are you talking about?
Where's the fairness?
You have given large business
areas to your people...
and have distributed smaller areas to us.
This isn't fair, sir.
If this is how it functions, then for
what do we have Unions and meetings?
Why do we come here?
To be make us fools?
This isn't right.
How dare you?
What is this so-called discrimination
of your people and my people?
We all are one and doing business as one.
Everyone will get the opportunity.
One must have patience.
Be patient.
What was that? Have you lost your mind?
He is our president, listen to him.
Malli...
He repents not doing anything
for you since your childhood,
as an absolution for that he has
brought an acre of land for you.
If you agree,
he wants to talk to you and...
Who wants his bloody land!
I'm letting him come home just for you.
Keep your tone down.
Let the bygones be bygones.
If he hears it, it wouldn't be nice.
I'm not saying it out of my dignity.
But do you know what
people think about you two?
That you are his mistress
and she is his wife.
Why do you have to bear those words?
Since you are a good person,
you may choose to forgive
what has happened,
but I cannot bring myself to forgive him.
No, no.
Do not speak like that.
Oh, no!
You know about him.
Do not pay heed to his words.
He is not wrong in his place.
In those circumstances,
because of the fear that she
might die if I don't go with her,
I had to leave you all and
go along with her.
I should have clearly explained
everything to him at that age itself.
I didn't speak to him then,
and he isn't listening to me now.
You don't worry,
everything will be alright soon.
I'm sure, he would forgive me.
Everything will be alright.
I welcome all the devotees...
who have come to see the
carnival of Satyavaram village.
[street vendors]
Let's stop it now, brother.
-Wait, one more round.
The next song, is from the movie
"Yamaho Nee Yama Yama Andham
"jagadeka veerudu athiloka sundari".
[movie song]
Boss!
Hey! Brother, look at him,
he is pushing my heroine.
Hello, be careful while moving.
Can't you see there are other people too?
Hey, have you lost it?
Why are getting so close?
Get down. Go down and dance.
-Go! Move!
[movie song]
I'll smash it, wait.
Mr. Balayya, let me smash it.
Committee member, he is here again.
Bloody, Idiot.
Hey, how many times must I tell you?
-Is she your cousin or what?
2..Fives, remaing all are singles.
Wait,
I will make you get down from this stage.
Malli, bro... Malli, bro...
that rascal slapped me in public, bro.
Who is he?
He must have done something crazy.
You don't go there, bro.
-I didn't do anything.
Who hit you? Come, let's go.
He says this is their village's Carnival,
their recording dance stage and
only they will climb the stage.
And if an outsider climbs the stage
they will smash their faces it seems.
Someone is taking me with them.
Hey, some guy is taking away the girl
along with the stage. Stop him.
Where are you taking them?
Stop!
Hey! As committee members,
calculate the number of coconut
shells and banana bunches.
But if you come in front of my tractor...
I will knock you down.
If you knock us down,
will we stay calm?
Oh no!
This is cascading into a bigger mess.
It's not safe for me to stay here.
I must leave.
I'll see your end bloody.
[indistinct chatter]
[siren wailing]
Hey, Movie aside.
Hey... Hey... Stop... Stop...
We gave permission to
hold the Carnival hereSS,
and not to fight and create a ruckus.
What are you talking about?
Should we just watch silently when they
take our village's recording dancers away?
Then don't be silent and get
beaten up just like before.
Hey, stop bullying around.
Who is bullying whom?
Why did they set up the carnival?
To see, right?
Otherwise, put up a board saying
people from other villages aren't allowed.
Who are you threatening?
And why are you threatening?
Why are you shouting?
Can't you stay silent?
Will you stay silent or not?
Sir, sir... it was a mistake, sir...
-Take him away.
You wait.
Malli bro!
I'm letting you go just because
the police have arrived.
Otherwise...
Will you leave, or shall I take
you to the police station?
Hey, leave me.
You may ask the girl
anything you want to know.
I will.
But nobody should mind my question.
Okay.
How much did you buy this saree for?
He asked Rs. 300 for it...
but I bargained and bought it for just Rs.
So, you gave him just Rs.10 margin.
Mom, she's smart!
-Yes.
Please don't mind.
We have a textile business.
The girl who comes into this
family should be aware of...
all the price details of all our
clothes and the margin we keep.
What happened to your hand?
What happened?
I told you multiple times
to avoid that Raghav.
Why don't you listen to me, uncle?
Mother, I heard that's her uncle.
Rajyam, this is your matchmaking event.
Please take a seat.
Since she has good knowledge on clothes,
I agree to this marriage.
I need to talk!
Sure, let's talk.
Not with you.
With my uncle.
Let's go..
-Where to?
Didn't she like me?
-Who wouldn't like you?
Where did you buy the shirt?
-I didn't buy it, I got it stitched.
It will tear after just one wash.
Didn't you like him?
Do you feel awkward in telling that?
Tell it to me, I'll say it to them.
What are you talking about, brother?
He looks like a Hero Shobhan Babu.
Please have it, son.
-No, thanks.
Where's the iconic ring in his hair?
I don't need that.
A ring on the finger will do.
I know it, uncle.
I will have a good life with him.
It won't go wrong, will it?
The color won't fade after three washes.
I wasn't asking about the shirt;
I'm concerned about Rajyam.
For that, I can give 70 years guarantee.
[chants]
Hey, don't touch it. You'll spoil it.
Look at this saree! parrot green
It will look good on you.
Sir, how much will this cost?
-Rs. 400
She is asking for Rs. 300.
That is the cost we bought for.
Madam, it will cost not a
rupee less than Rs. 400.
Are you selling your
sarees at your marriage?
Customers will not always
flock towards business,
sometimes business must
go to the customers.
That is our concept.
Hello Mr.Raju..
-Hello. Welcome..
Greetings.
-Greetings...
What is it, Shekar?
I heard you escaped a tragedy.
Is everyone at home doing well?
Fine sir.
That's why you must watch
your words before speaking.
You can't escape accidents every time,
can you?
Take care.
Come..
Rice, rice, rice!
Have some rice!
Enough.
Rice, rice, rice!
Hey, get some sambar.
Make a gap.
What?
Arrange the rice around it so that
the sambar won't spill out.
Hey!
Hey! he is right.
Have the brides family left?
They are waiting for another
car to arrive, uncle.
I can't stand the tantrums of the
groom's family, brother.
They are having cold drinks, coffee...
and beverages and then again
ask for chilled buttermilk.
Getting headache with them.
Remind me after the dinner,
we'll take care of them.
What is it?
-Nothing.
Why didn't you serve me?
I have kept two pieces on the adjacent
leaf, can't you take one from there?
Does your hand hurt to reach out?
Should I put it directly into your mouth?
I'm being patient as it
is Rajyam's marriage,
Otherwise...
Who is that idiot, who wanted chilled
buttermilk after having hot coffee?
Thanks.
-Thanks..
Uncle, come let's take a pic.
Come!
I'll leave now.
Listen,
stop getting into fights after I leave.
Stop being dramatic.
You are going just 3km away.
Everyone came to college to study,
but we came to haul coconuts.
What are you doing?
Will stand out the whole time?
Hurry up, it's time for the exam.
I'm coming, wait.
Sir is scolding us.
-Come quickly...
Thanks, man... I would have been
caught without you.
Where did you keep the load?
It's in our farm near the playground.
Close the book already.
Time's running out... Come quickly...
-I'm coming... I'm coming...
Then I must come tomorrow as well.
Time's running out...
What's the matter?
Has the anxiety from the
wedding still not subsided?
It's not that anxiety. This is a new one.
What new anxiety?
She read everything, but now she's
scared because today is the exam.
Why is she scared?
I forgot that there's an exam today
and I washed my hair.
So what?
-So what?
If you wash your hair,
everything you've studied will be
washed away with the water, right?
[man singing a Telugu song]
Hey Shankar... come here.
Malli bro!
While everyone else is stressed
about exams, why are you so relaxed?
After studying hard, you naturally
feel confident, brother.
Whoa, big dialogue... Come here...
What is this?
Like goods train carriages,
it's coming one after the other.
Looks like you worked hard
all night to slip those notes in...
Fine... This girl says she forgot
everything she studied in the exam.
Give her a few slips too.
-Okay, bro.
No need for that.
I'll write whatever I remember.
Come, lets go.
Don't get caught.
Dude, you know that
Dusky Satyavati, right?
Her husband who isn't now...
Did he pass away?
No. Not here,
I mean... He went to Dubai.
Since he went to Dubai,
I went to their house.
Why?
Poor Satyavati was all alone.
The power went out.
I didn't want her to be scared,
so I went to give her company.
While I was searching for a lamp,
accidentally my hand hit her waist...
Then everyone came and thrashed me badly.
You're only wise when talking
about alcohol and girls.
Oh, then you must be an innocent.
I'm an open book.
I tell everything openly to you guys.
But all these people keep
things hidden. Dark secrets.
Someone is coming... hide the drinks.
Hey... Shankaram...
Why are you crying?
I'm in pain, brother.
My father slapped me.
Why?
Because I got caught cheating in the exam.
Oh, dear... you can't even manage to
use chits without getting caught.
What are you saying, brother?
I've been using them for so many days...
Have I ever been caught before?
But now I got caught
because of Malli brother.
What did I do, man?
You told that girl that I had chits,
didn't you?
The girl told the invigilator,
and I got caught.
Bloody...
I was trying to help her by giving her
the chits and she got you caught. Did she?
I'll talk to her tomorrow at college.
Brother, brother, wait..
That girl looks like a good person,
brother.
Raghava has provoked you,
don't say anything to the girl, brother.
Hey, what are you talking about..?
I'm already starving...
Maybe he forgot what he said
last night while being sloshed.
Oh, no.
Wait! I'll come.
Would you like to eat from my box..?
What curry?
Chicken curry...
Why wouldn't I eat if it's chicken curry?
Give it here.
When you're so hungry, you could have
at least handled the food carefully...
Look, now. You have spilled it all over.
It didn't fall accidentally,
I threw it away...
otherwise, what would my mom think of me?
Am I a cow or a goat..?
To eat leaves and grass.
I'll tell her off when I get home.
What mother would want
to keep her child hungry?
She did it for your health.
Does my mom think about me that much..?
Of course, she does, she's your mother.
Mom, I'm hungry...
Serve me some food.
By the way, what curry did you make..?
I thought! you would eat out.
So, I didn't cook anything now...
There's the same curry from the afternoon.
Wait, I'll make egg curry in five minutes.
There's no need for that,
but bring that afternoon's curry...
You're always thinking about me...
for some reason,
I feel like I should think about you too.
What's there to think about me, son?
No, no, I need to do something
Listen, Mr. Printing Press Baburao.
We are opening a new
cloth store at Apparao Centre.
You must get me a bunch of
pamphlets ready for that.
Listen,
show all your on the top of the pamphlets.
But at the bottom,
write in bold "with the
blessings from Mr. Dandiyam Trimurthy."
Whose blessings it?
My Father's blessings.
Why?
Has your father funded your shops?
It is my dowry money.
Remove the blessings part.
Also your father's name.
I mean!
She said it!
Once she says it, it is final!
Remove it.
Rajyam!
Rajyam!
Rajyam!
Come here.
What happened, uncle?
What is it?
How are you?
What's the matter?
You will get to know.
I liked a girl.
She really understood my mom well.
Who is that girl?
She came to your marriage.
There were several girls at my marriage.
Who amongst them?
The beautiful one.
Then she must not be relative..
What?
Because I'm the one
beautiful girl in our family.
Let's ask if she is his relative.
Listen, there was a girl at our marriage.
My uncle likes her. She is beautiful.
Who is she?
How would I know who she is?
Move aside! Move!
I'll explain! She is thin,
has long hair and crooked teeth.
She must have one nose, two eyes
and two ears as well, right?
How will I get it if you
give generic details?
What did she wear?
A dress or a saree? Which colour?
It was orange-yellow
and was a ghagra choli.
She is Kaveri.
Kaveri?
Is it love?
No, straightway marriage.
Marriage?
He'll buy clothes for marriage
from our shop itself. Tell him!
She won't be compatible with you.
Why?
Because!
Don't you have Calcutta fashions?
Why do you want the Calcutta model?
My mom is from Calcutta.
I really like Calcutta.
My dream is, that after marriage,
I must settle in Calcutta.
That's why I want Calcutta fashions.
You are engrossed in your tractor, rack
sacks, godowns and all things hyperlocal.
And she is obsessed with Calcutta,
city life and fashion.
It's tough.
Are you done?
-There's one more page.
Hey, Kaveri...
I need to talk to you!
You want to move to Calcutta
and settle there, right..?
The city is nice to visit
but not so nice to live in...
But why do you care about that..?
I'm telling you something...
please don't interrupt me...
I might forget.
I smoke and drink sometimes.
And I also have a habit of...
well, sometimes I get on with girls too.
Why are you telling me all this..?
I mean... tomorrow, after we get married,
if someone tells you that your husband is
like this, you might be shocked, right..?
You'll ask, "Why didn't you tell
me all this before marriage?"
That might cause fights between us, right?
That's why, before someone else tells you,
I thought I'd tell you myself so
that there's absolute clarity.
Oh, yeah!
One more thing...
My mom has told me many
times to give up these habits.
But I never felt like I should...
if you tell me to, I'll quit.
What?
What's he saying?
He says he wants to marry me.
Marriage?
Oh no... But don't say you don't
like him and won't marry him..
If he gets angry, do you know what
he did in my village carnival.
Anyway, our exams will be over in a week.
Let's manage until then.
Don't even tell your father.
Okay.
What happened?
It won't finish anytime soon.
Bro, why did you tell about
your habits to Kaveri?
People are getting divorced
by not telling such things.
Good for me.
I have urgent work, I need to go to
the godown, drop me until there.
Come, get in.
Sir,
the jerks of this vehicle are such that...
you may find yourself
beneath the tyre at any bump.
Hold that rod and sit.
Hey!
-Brother!
Remember, I said I would quit all my
addictions if she asked me to?
She din't tell me yet?
Shall we go and confront her?
And ask her when she will tell!
You expressed your feelings just yesterday
Give her some time.
She will think and let you know.
You think so?
Of course.
-What is it?
Are you trying for some girl?
Yes, sir.
Be careful.
You look at the girl but forget
to notice her father and his reputation.
If he finds out,
he might get you buried alive.
If that's the case, I have full clarity
on how to tackle them.
Is he around?
-Don't worry.
Don't let your expressions give
away any negative thoughts,
Just bow down your head and walk silently.
I've been waiting for her answer
but why is she just walking away?
Malli bro, ask me the most
complicated question about this universe,
and I'll answer it for you.
But I can't help you figure out
what's running in any girl's mind.
Uncle,
I'll tell you what's running in her mind.
How will a girl love a man with
such long hair and a shabby beard?
Even any girl can scare to love.
Hey, how is this? I like this one.
I don't like anything.
Do you like it?
Take whatever you like.
I'll pay.
No.
-What happened?
"I'm the boy from the Bachchala family"
"A stubborn soul who
won't listen to anyone!"
"Even if the odds are against me,
I stand alone, fighting my battles."
"Like a merciless moon,
don't slip away from my sight!"
"I stand here like a
streetlight without light,"
"A broken kite, wandering aimlessly,"
What is this nuisance?
-What is happening here?
"Alas... I've become a boat
adrift without a shore."
Hey, sit up straight.
Cheers.
"Why do I deserve this?
I curse myself endlessly!"
"Yet, I pat my own shoulder,
Saying, I'm doing fine!"
"You turned a country drunk,
Into a saint who sips pure milk."
"You twist your words,
leaving me guessing..."
"And vanish without saying a thing."
How come it started
raining all of a sudden?
Hey, give me that umbrella.
Kaveri, take this umbrella.
No, thank you.
If you get drenched in rain,
you'll forget all that you have studied.
I don't need it.
Moreover, you'll catch a cold.
Take it.
-Ok, Thank you.
"How long will this tug-of-war last?"
"Let's settle it,
my sanity is slipping away."
"Your ways aren't right,
Yet you make them charmingly wrong."
"I can't even write you
a love letter on paper"
"If you wish,
I'll sing you Veturi's songs instead."
"My heart is like a salty ocean"
"But add a bit of sugar, And you might
just make it sweet and change me forever."
Here, drink this. Have it.
Have it.
I can't take it anymore.
I'll tell him that I don't like him.
Have patience for just one more day.
Anyways you'll leave for Calcutta
after tonight's farewell.
[Hindi song playing in background]
Okay. Okay.
-One pic.
Ask her about love.
-Why are you pushing everyone, sir?
Shall I smack you across your faces?
Bloody, scumbags.
What happened?
Where are you going?
Kaveri, I want to talk to you.
Kaveri... Listen... Where are you going?
Kaveri... Look here...
Wait up!
No problem.
Turn around.
I won't touch you. Turn around.
Such mistakes do happen.
Don't get angry.
We must rectify the mistakes and move on.
Let me have a look...
Everything was set, and that's it.
You didn't have to worry about it at all.
Hey, change the song.
Why should we go through
so much trouble in the rain, brother?
Yesterday you went to the college
as well to ask for her reply.
This rain won't go away soon.
Thank God, we brought umbrellas.
The weather forecast was
pretty accurate, wasn't it?
What do you say?
Brother, she is coming.
Cigarettes, alcohol...
and the third thing, which
is the most disgusting one,
why don't you stop them?
From today onwards, no more alcohol
and cigarettes. Everything stops.
Would you do anything if I asked?
What do you mean? You just ask,
and I'll do anything for you...
There's a guy I know, his name is Aravind.
He's been my classmate since childhood,
and I've been in love
with him since 10th grade.
You could've told us this earlier, Kaveri.
All this time you've been
leading our brother on.
So, what do you want me to do now?
Just tell me.
Aravind is scared of his father.
But we had planned to leave for
Calcutta today via East Coast Express.
That's not leaving, that's eloping.
Tell clearly.
He's not able to leave his house.
Can you bring him to the station
before the train departs?
Why would my brother bring him?
Have you lost it?
Alright!
Forget about whatever happened so far.
Tell me one thing, will you be happy
if you marry him?
The joy of marrying the person
whom you love is second to none.
Greetings, sir.
-Greetings, sir.
Did you wind up the registration?
Not yet, sir. There's a problem...
What happened?
The MRO is being very strict, sir.
Is he new here? Doesn't he know about us?
Get him done whatever he wants..
Aravind Bava, here's your milk.
-Just leave it there.
Uncle is asking you to come downstairs.
Is it? Okay, I'll come.
You go ahead.
Alright, but come quickly.
Hey, Aravind...
come here.
Who are you, brother?
Kaveri told me to bring you.
Let's head to the railway station.
Okay, brother.
Shall we ask him to meet you, sir?
Ask him to come here, I'll talk to him.
just before, a girl called you downstairs,
who is that girl?
My cousin.
Why don't you marry her?
Because I don't love her.
Thank you, brother.
You are doing me a great favour.
I'm not doing it for you.
I'm doing this for Kaveri.
If something goes wrong,
I'll come to Calcutta and thrash you.
He brought me safely.
Thanks a lot, Malli.
Brother...
if you don't mind, will stay with us
until the train departs?
What is this headache for me!
I mean, I'm afraid my folks
will come here looking for us.
Okay.
-Thanks brother.
Come, sit.
Aravind!
Brother!
If you are in need of money,
write me a letter.
I'll money order you.
Okay, brother.
-Take care of Kaveri.
See you, brother.
Go.
Thanks, brother.
Hey, what are you doing here?
Eloping means going
away together not alone.
He's crazy about you.
He talked about you all the way.
If you tell him to put his head
under a train, he'll do it instantly.
Who would help the girl he loves
to elope with someone else?
I asked her to test your love.
Why all this...?
When someone's in love,
of course, they'll build a Taj Mahal.
But what if they don't,
who knows what they'll do?
We have to be cautious, shouldn't we?
"Never knew intoxication could keep
you awake yet feel like a dream."
"A feeling beyond all addictions!
Love is that obsession!"
"The moment she cast
her shadow upon me..."
"my heart changed its way
and the dirt left my mind."
"I find myself lost,
this is the new life I found."
"How could I ever let you go?
In the light's shadow, I'll follow."
"For a wildflower like me,
Opening temple doors is still a mystery."
"Twisting fate and rewriting ways"
"You showed me the path,
now don't erase it.."
"Could this be my first love's embrace?"
"This restless storm,
is this a natural phase?"
"Endless, boundless, as I sway,
A new journey begins today."
Why can't you keep things in their place?
How many times do I have to tell you?
Hey, stop... stop right there.
Let all evil eyes ward off.
It's glass.
I know!
Come in.
Kaveri...
What?
-We're getting late.
"Oh beloved, Oh my divine lotus,
You are a gift to this murky water!"
"Raising my head for friendship's sake,
To look again, for love's wake."
Kaveri... did he say he liked it?
Did he say anything? Shall I pack this?
Well, the thing is!
What happened, tell me...?
He said let's go to another shop.
"Patience grows, the time will align..."
"The hand that leads is surely thine."
"Only now have I begun to read you..."
"Your depth surpasses every deed."
"Recklessness fades, as I hold you tight,
With you, all feels right."
"Could this be my first love's embrace?"
"This restless storm,
is this a natural phase?"
"Endless, boundless, as I sway,
a new journey begins today."
Hey, uncle is here...
Why did you guys move the set up
from the farm house to Durga lodge?
Dude, I got a bottle for you from Dubai.
I was sceptical whether these guys
would finish it before you came.
Just have one peg.
No, thanks.
I have quit smoking and drinking.
What? You have quit them?
It was nothing ordinary,
it was a spectacle to watch.
Malli! When did you come?
You have arrived at the right time.
Come, I'll show you something. Come!
She is been chanting your
name since the time she arrived.
Who?
-Come!
Raghava, where are taking him?
Why do you care, where I take him?
Bloody, kiddo!
Do you want to come and
watch the performance?
Dude, come on, bro...
Come, bro.
You will really enjoy the night.
Don't say anything.
Even the money has been paid,
you don't have to pay anything.
Jyothi!
Your jyoti!
Are you deaf or are you not
understanding what I'm saying?
I do hear you.
That's why I have set this all for you.
Even I have not tasted it yet,
you'll have the first bite.
Hey, Raghava..
I understand your anxiety.
You want protection, right?
I have kept it in the cupboard. Enjoy!
Don't worry, nobody will open the door.
What's happened to you?
You have stopped visiting me altogether!
There won't be anymore either...
Why?
I promised someone that
I would quit these things...
To whom...?
Kaveri... the girl I'm going to marry.
You're getting married?
Yes.
it's because of her that
my life has changed so much...
My mother, Rajyam, oh my...
she's so thrilled seeing
how I've transformed.
To be honest, I feel the same way...
I'm glad to hear that.
I'm so happy for you.
So, will you invite me to your wedding?
Or will you leave me out,
thinking 'why bother with her'?
Oh, come on! Of course,
you'll be the key person in my marriage.
I'll take care of all the
wedding arrangements personally...
Two people here, sir.
Hey, come out.
Sir, wait a moment...
Please, just give her five minutes
to change her clothes...
Let's wait outside.
What is this?
How dare you lay your
hands on a police officer...?
Isn't she a prostitute?
Hasn't she shown herself to anyone?
Has nobody seen her naked before?
Let us have a look too!
Didn't I tell you to stop?
Yet you are pulling the bedsheet...
Do you want to see her nude?
Without clothes, is it?
Without clothes... Come, I'll show you.
Hey, what are you doing?
Brother,
-Leave him.
Hey, leave me.
This is going to turn into a havoc!
Will you anything if you
are a police officer?
[indistict chatter]
Bro, if you don't stop.
They will have us all arrested.
Bro, let's not fight. Please.
-Bro, please stop.
Bro, you'll get us caught too. Stop it...
Didn't you see what he did?
Come and see her now.
What happened?
-Please, brother.
Hey, move aside.
How dare you hit a police officer!
How dare you!
Sir,
please ask them what really happened...
What is there to ask?
I saw your mischief during
the festival fight...
Hey, load them all into the jeep...
Sir, we'll all come...
Just let the girl go.
She did it out of necessity.
You're telling me who to
let go and who to arrest?
Hey, load them all up.
Sir!
Hey, Krishna!
How dare you to push me.
Sir, if you want to hit me,
just hit me right away.
But if you want to thrash me,
take me to the police station.
Our guy knows the Dubai
Sheikh's bride quite well.
Why do you care if I watch her?
Why do you care?
What's wrong, Constable?
The beatings don't seem to hurt...
hit me a bit harder!
What happened, Chalapathi brother?
Why are you here?
Sit down.
Nothing, Vaikuntam...
I heard that a guy who came from Dubai
threw a party at the Durga Lodge.
Our guys caused a scene after drinking,
and your team brought them in.
We didn't bring them in for
drinking or gambling, sir.
We have arrested them because...
a guy named Bacchala Malli
laid hands on a police officer.
We even prepared the FIR.
-That's not it, sir...
If we lock him up once,
he'll learn how to behave with
officials and how to conduct himself.
Sir!
He must have hit him in haste...
Please forgive this one mistake, sir...
Sir, if you show the way to a blind man
he will follow the path,
but how do you show the way
to someone who's blindfolded?
Once we lock him up in jail, and he
will eat saltless and spice less food,
a bit of discipline will seep into him
and that will straighten him out.
I beg you, sir.
Satyam!
-Don't say that...
He's just starting to change now.
If you file a case now,
his entire life will be ruined.
I take the responsibility, sir.
-What's this, Satyam?
Please, forgive him, sir.
-Get up... Get up, I'll talk!
He's also telling you that.
Please listen to him.
Get up... Get up, I'll talk!
Sit down.
Sit down...
Listen to me...
I'll skin each of you...
If I file a case and send you to court,
you'll all get two years of sentence...
especially you...
First, tone down your attitude...
If it weren't for your
father begging and pleading,
I am leaving you now.
Whose father...?
And for father whom?
My father died on January 18, 1985,
at 6:33 PM.
You picked someone up off the street,
I can't call him my father and say he
begged for me, so you're leaving me.
Please, stop saying such things...
If you want, file a case against me.
I'll stay inside for ten years,
not just two.
But don't bring random people
and call them my father...
Satyam...
don't worry...
He just burst out whatever
comes to his mind without thinking.
You have asked him for forgiveness
multiple times now.
Don't be upset about it, okay?
But...
how can he say that?
He killed me while I am still alive.
You don't fear...
I'll take care of everything.
Where did you go in this rain?
What's with the bloodstains on your shirt?
Why aren't you answering me?
I stabbed Bacchala Malli.
[thunders rumbling]
What do you mean you
stabbed Bacchala Malli?
Did you forget how much
he troubled us, Mom?
Remember when Dad died?
He didn't even allow us to
perform the final rites.
Malli, Malli!
Get up, man.
We have to take care of remaining rituals.
Do not enter into my house. Stay out.
Stay there... Stay right there!
This isn't right. Why are you
preventing them from entering?
You do not teach me what's right or wrong.
Moreover, who are you to teach me things?
Get lost.
Malli! What are doing?
Let her watch him for one last time!
Why do you have a problem with that?
I don't have any problem.
Place the body on the road.
Malli!
And then people can watch him
for hours together. I don't care.
Please, don't.
He left this house for me,
but he came back to this house
before he took his last breath.
Maybe he wanted to live his
last moments in this house.
I will go.
Come, let's go to the crematorium.
Why?
You need to perform the
final rites to your father.
[music mutes voices]
He didn't perform the final rites,
nor did he allow me to,
and in the end, someone outside
the family performed them for Father.
And the other day, when I went
to that village to play cricket,
he humiliated me... A lot...
Beyond what I could berate!
And now we're watching...
Manikanta cricket Memorial Tournament...
This is the final match of the tournament.
The team needs 5 runs
off the last ball to win.
Ramana is at the crease...
Raju is at the bowling end
and is about to bowl the final delivery.
Yes, he has bowled the final delivery.
Yeah!
Ramana has delivered an outstanding
victory for our Suravaram team.
Ramana is not an outsider;
he is Bacchala Malli's younger brother
and the grandson of Bacchala Nagendra.
The losing team made great
efforts until the end for victory.
Whose brother? Brother to whom?
No, Malli...
Ramana is your younger brother, isn't he?
Who are you connecting
relationships with, huh?
Well...
What's with all this?
You can't just label every jerk born
to a mistress as my brother!
I'll thrash you.
We were living our lives without
bothering him, without disturbing him.
But every time,
he would insult us terribly...
I couldn't take it anymore, Mom.
-That's not it, son.
-I got so angry that I killed him.
Don't worry...
If there is any trouble with the case,
Ganapati Raju Sir said he take care of it.
How dare he insult me!
He is dead.
Bloody scoundrel.
[music mutes voices]
Someone has been stabbed
very brutally, sir.
Hey... This guy is from our
village, Bacchala Malli...
He deserves this death
for the wrongs he has done.
He didn't even perform the
last rites for his father...
Worthless life... Worthless life...
Go watch him.
Move a side.
He is alive, sir.
Is it? Lift him up.
[music mutes voices]
[panting]
Shiva!
-Ask him!
-Excuse me!
A person has arrived here with
a knife injury. Where is he?
The operation is happening inside for him.
Everyone keeps saying he
didn't perform the last rites,
didn't perform the last
rites, as if it's all his fault...
Only I know how much he cried silently,
without shedding a tear since childhood...
After what his father did, his poor mother
stopped stepping out of their house.
When the pain intensifies within,
causing the dam of anger to shatter,
anyone would respond the same way, Kaveri.
Hey, take this money...
Oh no, sir, why are you giving me money?
Hey, stop it...
Take it now,
or are you planning to put me in your
debt and use it for something else?
Here take it.
Come...
Give her a tender ice apple.
I brought these ice apples just
for you... Come on, take them.
You know Chodishetty Baburao, right?
Oh no, why bring him up, sir?
He's already sinking in debt
from every corner of the village...
It's not about him, man... Her brother
went to Kolkata and settled down, right?
I am talking about them.
So, they were thinking about
getting their son married...
They specifically mentioned Kaveri,
wondering what she would be like...
I found out about the boy...
He has a job in
Kolkata with a good salary.
Also, you always wanted
to go to Kolkata, right?
Oh... oh... oh... What's this?
Why are you so scared as if I
will get you married tomorrow
and send you off to your in-laws?
You have got a proposal.
I am just asking you to think it over.
But only if you like it.
If you... forget it.
Have it.
Who the hell is he to
bring a proposal for you?
What are you talking about?
Is n't it normal for a father to
bring proposals and arrange marriages?
-Hey, Surya...
-Why all the fuss over this?
Even so, he must have not known about
both of you when he brought the proposal.
We all go and talk to him later,
and everything will settle down.
Yeah... we talked...
and we fought as well.
With whom?
-Her dad...
-When?
-The other day at the lodge...
He hit me, and I pushed him back,
both happened...
You probably fought without
knowing he was Kaveri's dad, right?
No, I knew it,
I pushed him.
Why are you all staring at me?
That is different... This is different...
Why are you connecting the two?
How can we not, uncle?
This isn't as small an issue as you think.
You should have thought it through
before raising your hand.
Shekhar...
I wanted to start a gunny bag business.
Anyway, your warehouse is empty, right?
Why don't you lease it to me?
-Malli? How are you?
-I am good, sister-in-law!
Take this.
But why are you getting involved
in this business, Malli?
As long as Ganapathi Raju is president,
he won't let you do any business here.
He is always trying to bring people down.
I couldn't handle it anymore,
so I started this business...
Then let's do one thing...
Let's start the business without
involving the association.
What do you say?
Hey, give that...
Take this money, Shekhar;
it will help with your
daughter's operation.
Keep it.
By the way,
what do you think of my father?
I want to say something.
Don't try to stop me.
Okay.
I sold the tractor...
No more driving and all that for me!
Why did you sell the tractor?
You put aside all your dreams of going
to Kolkata for me, right?
I want to start jute bags business...
Earn money...
I want to marry you in this very temple,
calling everyone from the village.
Buy you loads of jewellery...
And when you go to a function wearing all
that, I want the women there to whisper,
"Who is that girl? Who is she?"
Then, they should proudly say,
"She is Bacchala Malli's wife!"
I want to buy an Ambassador car...
And when we drive through the street,
all the old folks in
the village should ask,
"Who owns that car? Whose car is that?"
And someone should say,
"That's Bacchala Malli's car...
He bought it for his wife!"
I want to take good care of you.
That's why I need to start a business...
Earn a lot of money.
Bacchala Kaveri gunny Traders...
That's it.
Then I will ask your father to
give your daughter in marriage to me.
I have to tell you something...
Our Malli has started a bags business...
It's been so long...
It's nice to see a smile on your face.
Have another one...
What's up Dude?
Why did you call me urgently?
Nothing much, man...
I started a jute bag business...
Ah, so what now?
Do you want my congratulations
and blessings? That's not happening...
But if you come with me, there is a small
booze gathering at Govind's garden...
After the session, you know what
we all do and know how it goes...
Oh! really.
[indistinct chatter]
What is this Dude?
What have you turned me into?
Call me"Swami,"not Bro...
Ask forgiveness!
What is this, Swami?
If you stay out of trouble for
a few days, I can work in peace.
Hey, Swami, it's time for the prayer...
Go, Swami...
I am starting a business without
the involvement of the union.
I will pay all the money at once.
I want the load
Let's settle the money later.
First, take the load, whatever you need.
[indistinct chatter]
Hey, what are you looking at?
Will you hit me?
Lower it.
I said lower your gaze!
Don't act smart with me.
I just looked at you normally.
Why are you making fuss?
That was not a casual look. That wasn't...
You wanted to get into a fight,
didn't you?
You want to fight, right?
That is nothing new to me.
Come on...
[groans in pain]
Forgive me, brother.
Please let me go.
Uncle, we made a mistake by not informing
you about Bacchala Malli's business.
We underestimated him, Mr. President.
If you ever hide such things
from me again, I'll smack you to pulp.
He's a stubborn fellow.
Physical harm wouldn't hurt him,
I know how to make him feel the pain.
Leave it to me!
I'll take care of him.
Uncle, Who do you think should
break the first coconut?
Do you want me to do the honours?
Will you wait for a while?
Kaveri... Here, break it...
-Me? Why would I?
-Come!
It's okay, come.
-Go...
-Aunty, you do it...
I shouldn't do it, dear...
Why?
I shouldn't break coconuts for
auspicious occasions... You do it...
What? Just because you're a widow now,
does that mean the goodness
in your heart has disappeared too?
I insist... you break it.
Malli, you have set this business up by
going against Ganapathi Raju anymore...
Take care, Malli... Refrain from
getting into trouble with him.
-Be cautious while running your business.
-Uncle, have some sweets...
Hey, want to eat some Sweet?
Serve it to everyone first...
-Ok dude!
-I will leave now...
Ok uncle.
Malli... I want to say some thing
Come here!
The business has started...
and life is unfolding beautifully...
What's the delay now?
You can tie the knot, can't you?
If you're in such a rush,
why should I wait?
I'll do it right now...
Wait, wait, wait...
I am just kidding.
We'll do it later.

BACHHALA KAVERI GUNNY TRADERS
You should have been more careful.
Look, a short circuit caused the
entire godown to burn down.
Luckily, your godown was far away!
Otherwise, the entire market
would have burnt down today.
This is what happens when someone from
outside the union tries to do business...
What are you talking about, Balaji?
Who are you calling an outsider?
And who is this guy?
Isn't he Bacchala Nagendra's grandson?
When the jute bag business
was started in this village,
his grandfather was at
the forefront, right?
If you don't know, ask your uncle...
But don't say such careless words..
First, I should beat you up
for leasing out the godown...
You will kick him?
Go ahead, lift your leg! Go ahead!
Who you are up against and
why you are coming at me?
Stay away...
How dare you..?
Stop it... Step back...
I am talking here, right?
Malli, don't worry about what happened.
What is done is done.
We'll all contribute some funds and
help you out if you join the committee.
Why would I need your contributions?
I don't need anyone's pity or charity...
In just three weeks,
I'll rebuild the same godown.
I'm staying silent because I believe that
it was a short circuit.
But if anything goes wrong again,
I'll make sure the entire committee
knows, right in front of everyone...
I'll burn down every godown in the market.
Forget the jute bags.. you won't
even have a scrap of fabric left.
Look, you don't have to show him all
the models. Just him one or two...
Mr. Venkatramana...
Do you have any new colours?
Hello... You are not supposed to ask for
colours, you must ask for new models.
Same thing.
My wife is quite stubborn about,
buying new clothes for the
festival only from your shop.
Excuse me,
I know that you are here to take cool air.
By the way, how's your business going?
Not so good.
Don't you worry.
Bacchala Malli is restarting the business,
if he saves some money
and in turn you make money,
ultimately it's all amongst the family.
Okay. Put on the switch.
Okay.
Sure. I'll keep it at high speed.
3 should be okay, right?
Hey!
What are you looking at?
We must help our Malli too, right?
Who else will come to support him?
I'm going to make chicken curry...
Just for you!
What happened to you?
You challenged everyone that you are
going to reopen your godown in three weeks
but that Sethu isn't ready to
send the load without his payment.
What should we do now?
Should we ask Rajyam for help?
Hello brother, what are you doing?
Have you done with all the preparations?
It's almost done.
Okay. I'll leave for the shop.
Hey Malli...
You are here?
I have been looking everywhere for you.
-Give me your hand...
-Why?
I said give me your hand.
I heard you are
running around for money...
Will this be enough?
No, listen to me...
This is my mother's...
I will take care of it.
If you need anything
else, just let me know.
Take this money and
hand it over to Sethu.
[sings randomly]
Hey, Raghava!
Come here.
Swamy!
Sorry. What happened dude?
When did you take off the mala?
Yesterday..
You look quite excited. What's up?
Where are you going?
That day, after you made me take the
"Deeksha", I quit everything.
That's why I'm quietly heading home.
-Can I believe you?
-Yeah.
Kaveri...
Just taste this once...
Wait...
It's hot.
Is there less salt?
It's amazing, Dad...
Back then,
even your mom would sometimes have
the food prepared by me with such love.
Kaveri, Chodisetti Baburao is asking
about match, what should I answer them?
-Dad...
-Yes?
-Dad...
-What do you want, Kaveri?
I want to tell you something...
Tell me, Kaveri.
I don't want to marry a city boy, Dad...
Oh my God! Really?
Is that really you?
I want to marry a boy from this village...
That's even better... You will stay
close by where I can see you everyday.
Dad, I'm in love with a boy.
Who is that boy?
His name is Bacchala Malli...
Bacchala Malli!
Let's call him and talk...
Mom... Mom...
Yes!
Kaveri's father asked us to come talk...
If you get ready quickly, we can go.
It will be in appropriate for me to come,
but you be careful when you talk!
Okay, okay.
-Come in, come in...
-Give those sweets.
come in...
Come!
Kaveri!
-Ask them for tea or coffee!
-Yes, Dad...
What relation does he have with you, dear?
He is my Uncle.
Aha!
A girl like Kaveri is very
rare in today's times.
I am Rajyam's husband.
We have the Venkatramana Cut Pieces store
in, Gollapparam Center... That's ours...
We always offer a 20% discount.
-Stop it.
-Okay.
Malli and Kaveri met at our wedding.
Do you know where did I
first met your uncle, dear?
It was at the Satyavaram carnival..
That day, the dedication he showed
while hitting his opponent
and his recklessness, ignoring the
blood streaming from his body.
It was something special.
Do you know where I met him the next time?
Do you know Durga
Lodge on the bypass road?
I met him there.
He was fighting the
police for a prostitute...
When I tried to stop him, saying it
was wrong, he pushed me away too.
What you're saying is true,
but that was in the past...
He is changed completely now...
Yes,
he is now running a jute bags business.
He rented a godown and is
conducting his business quite decently.
I know.
I am sitting here and talking to him
with respect, knowing all this...
I know everything...
He has truly changed...
He started this business for Kaveri...
He quit all his bad habits.
I have no problem with this.
-Thank God.
-Then what is the delay?
Let's finalize the
dates and move forward...
Yes, let's proceed...
But first, I have one condition...
That day, in the police station,
when his father was still alive,
he declared that his father had died,
giving the date and time.
Okay,
I thought he was angry and let it go...
But after he actually died, he didn't
even perform the final rites properly.
No matter the circumstances,
respect for one's father is
essential, don't you think?
But he didn't do that.
Now, there is no problem
with finalizing everything,
but the wedding card must be
print including his fathers name,
'Bacchala Malli, the eldest son
of Bacchala Satyana Narayana.'
That's my condition.
Bloody hell!
Why does he care about my father?
His crooked words and his behavior.
From the moment you
started talking about my father,
I knew you would twist
things around and come here...
-Calm down a bit...
-Hey!
Why should I calm down?
For whom should I calm down?
What is the shame in
mentioning my father's name?
-Why is it so shameful to mention it?
-I won't say it...
I will take my grandfather's
name, not my father's...
Bacchala Malli,
the grandson of Bacchala Nagendra...
Why do you care?
Who cares about your grandfather's name?
My daughter is going to someone's home,
I need to know which family she is
going to... As a father, I have to know.
Why do you need to know?
You raised her, that's enough.
-Your responsibility ends there.
-Uncle!
It's my responsibility to ensure she
lives happily for the rest of her life.
What? You come to my
house and shout at me?
-Get out... Get out.
-Hey...
Don't raise your voice.
Be quiet.
-Uncle, listen to me.
-Calm down.
-Unc...
-Kaveri... Let's go home.
How can I do that?
Will you come or not?
How can I leave my
father and come with you?
"If the Sun were to cease its
work and stand still,"
"wouldn't this Earth
become a fiery sphere?"
"If the ocean surged with untamed
speed, crossing the shore,"
"wouldn't that be the moment
when an entire age fades away?"
"Could we answer, if the
apocalypse itself becomes a question?"
What are you doing here, Kaveri?
I need to talk to Malli...
When will he come?
Brother hasn't been to the
godown in a long time, Kaveri.
You should go home.
I will let him know you came.
Where do you live in the city?
Near Gandhi Road.
-Take good care of my niece, son.
-Okay.
Why are you silent, Kaveri?
I will speak, Aunty.
All of this was for Kaveri,
but what did she do?
She rejected me and left...
Those who don't want me,
I don't need them either...
I will live my life the way I want.
Why don't you change
yourself for everyone!
I won't change for anyone...
I will live my life the way I want...
-You are hurting everyone...
-Let them be hurt...
I don't think about or feel hurt by
those who don't want me.
That's it.
Shanti, dear...
-Yes, brother!
I have placed the first wedding invitation
card at Satyana Narayana Swamy's temple.
Wait... Give me the
offering, Kaveri loves it, right?
Dear, your favourite
offering from Annavaram.
You might think, Why did Dad make
such a big decision without asking me?
You might curse me,
or stop talking to me for a month...
Fine.
But if you follow what I say, you will
live a happy and joyful life forever,
That's enough for me.
I am not a stupid who would
marry off my daughter to some idiot,
thinking everything will
fall into place and that,
If something goes wrong,
I can handle it myself or
call the elders to intervene,
or just leave it to
God... I am not that fool.
I am correct... I am correct.
[birds chirping]
What happened to the car?
Why have you walked home?
I sold it.
You sold it? Why now?
What was the need?
I just felt it was unnecessary...
so I sold it.
Kaveri came here to talk to you.
Talk? To whom? And about what?
Don't be hasty, Malli... It's easy to say
'no' to someone in a minute. But...
If you want them...
Then we should...
Who did I say no to?
Do you know what her father asked for?
He wanted your husband's name to be
mentioned in the wedding invitation card.
Right here, at this very
spot, he left with her.
You might have forgotten,
but everything is still fresh in
my mind... I won't write his name.
Whatever happened has happened...
But can't you at least
soften up for Kaveri's sake?
Did I trouble her in any way?
I'm just going my own way.
Let's go.
If you can leave your mother behind,
I'll leave my father behind too. Ah...
Come on, let's go. Come...
I was wrong to ask you to leave your
mother behind, right? How could you?
Give your hand.
Here... It has the date, time, and place.
Do what you feel is right.
Today is Kaveri's wedding party...
Feel free to drink and
enjoy whatever you like.
Let's go.
You only asked me to drink,
now you are asking me to leave.
Where are we going?
To the wedding.
It is not right to go in this state.
Don't give useless
advice and stupid ideas.
Will you come or not?
Hey, inform Krishna that
Malli is coming to the marriage.
-He will be fine.
-Have the patient reports,
from that ward arrived?
Doctor, is Malli alright?
Nothing to worry.
He has been moved to the general ward.
Keep him in the hospital for a 5-day
observation, and we will discuss later.
My uncle will be fine.
Hey, you! I heard you got into a
fight at the wine shop, did you?
If you suspect anyone, let us know.
I don't have.
Alright, fine. I will be here tomorrow.
If you remember anything, let me know.
Hey... What's this?
Where do you think you're going?
What happened, Malli? Malli!
Do you know who stabbed me?
It was that guy...
your husband's mistress's son.
I will come back after killing him.
What is wrong with that?
You became the way you are
out of the anger towards your father.
and he...
because of his anger towards you.
Your stubbornness has ruined
your life since childhood...
It's all because of you!
Because of your stupidity.
What's wrong with me?
I'm fine, right?
Right or wrong, good or bad,
I'm living my life as I want to.
You are not even good at lying.
You know better than anyone that
this isn't the life you wanted.
How many years has it been
since you smiled wholeheartedly?
Life requires letting go, Malli...
Just as the heart lets go of blood,
we must also let go of things.
If this refuses to let go, you will die.
And if you refuse to let go, despite
being alive your life will slip away..
You couldn't let go with your father,
and now again with Kaveri...
Who doesn't get angry?
But distancing yourself out
of anger keeps you from seeing love.
Why do we get tears?
So that you can wash your anger away.
I have seen my parents die,
my in-laws die,
and finally, I witnessed the
death of the one I married too.
The only thing I ever asked of God was...
not to show me the death of my son.
I've wanted to tell you this many times,
but I afraid you will
leave me too if I did.
If I don't even tell
you now, it's my fault.
You couldn't let go with your
father and now again with Kaveri...

KURELLA'S WEDDING CEREMONY
KAVERI WEDS ANAND
Take this.
-Greetings, Raju
-Greetings, Lakshmi Narayana.
-Greetings!
-Greetings!
Hey, Balaji. Take him along.
Bring the bride's ceremonial clothes.
Okay.
Kaveri...
Where should I hand my gift for the bride?
What?
Where should I hand my gift?
The gift for the bride!
On whose name should I write?
They are watching
their faces when I asked.
-[indistinct chatter]
-Brother... the priest is calling.
Come, Mr. Raju.
Malli, what are you doing here?
I came to offer something to Kaveri.
Did you come to gift her the ring?
Poor thing...
How happy she was while she was with you!
She proudly called herself
'Bacchala Kaveri'.
In two minutes,
she'll be married to someone else.
Her surname will change.
Think about it again.
You are right..
it's not good to keep someone else
daughter's ring with me...
That's why I will go give it to Kaveri.
-Hey Malli...
-What?
There exist machines that can measure
blood pressure, sugar, and cholesterol...
but none to measure foolishness.
If there was, it would cross the limit.
It's my bad that I followed you since
childhood, calling you 'brother'...
I should curse myself! I should stay
away from you as far as possible...
Just go!
If you are not interested, stay away.
-Stay away
-Even your shadow shouldn't touch me.
Get lost!
[indistinct chatter]
Brother...
it's our Kaveri!
Kaveri is up there... on the stage...
She's here... I saw her...
She was right there.
Come, brother...
Kaveri... Brother...
What happened here?
Hey, leave me. Leave me...
Hey...
She's not Kaveri. She's not my Kaveri...
Why are you entertaining him?
He is the reason for this girl's death.
Drag him away...
Why would she die because of me?
Malli is still alive.
I'm scared he might harm me.
I'm terrified, Mr. Raju.
You should have been more
mindful while trying to kill him.
I thrashed you unintentionally and you are
paralyzed
If this time,
I smack you with all my might...
I wouldn't die!
I saw your downfall and I wouldn't
die until I witness your death.
This is unnecessary, Mr. Raju.
Listen to me...
And spend your remaining life
peacefully with your grandchildrens.
If you still interfere in my business,
I'll hack you to death!
Come!
I'm talking to you, come.
You shouldn't have admitted me to the
hospital, you should have left me.
My mother, who never talked to me much,
spoke to me very clearly today.
She said my stupidity is the reason
that my life turned out like this...
She is right,
isn't she?
Because of my stupidity,
I lost a good life.
I saw a life with Kaveri,
but I couldn't live it.
I thought I don't need
those who didn't want me...
Convincing myself while saying,
Who wants them and why do I need them?
What do I have left now?
In the end, I don't have even myself.
Out of anger, he wanted to kill me.
He is not just anyone...
he is Bacchala Ramana,
my brother.
I didn't let my stepmom view my father's
body for the last time,
maybe that's why I couldn't see Kaveri for
one last time after her death.
He has no right to kill me,
neither does God.
Only you have that right.
Even I don't have the right to kill you...
I am as much to blame for my
daughter's death as you are...
Kaveri said life with you would be good.
even my heart told me a few times.
But I didn't listen.
We have made mistakes
that can't be undone.
We should never have done this...
stupidity...
stupidity...
We all have to live with this
pain for the rest of our lives.
until the day we die,
we will be waiting for death.
Malli...
I waited for you to arrive
until the very last minute.
My intention was not to hurt you, Dad...
I cannot share my life with someone else.
[Malli sobbing]
Forgive me, Malli brother.
[kids singing Telugu classical song]
I must make my business
successful and earn a lot.
We must get married in this exact temple.
We both made those mistakes in
life which cannot be undone ever.
[music mutes voice]
Uncle...
Uncle, why are you sleeping here...?
Come, let's go home. I know,
you don't like being in the hospital.
Uncle...
What happened to you?
Nothing's wrong with you, right?
You always do this to scare me...
Mom, are you just going to stand there
watching? Uncle... Come on, let's go home!
You don't have to go to the hospital.
What are you doing there? Come! Help me...
Do something.
Come! Uncle, come on, get up...
Let's go home... Uncle! Uncle!
Please open your eyes. Please look at me.
Look at me,
-[Bhagavad Gita chants]
-Uncle, wake up...
Please, wake up.
[Bhagavad Gita chants]
One who doesn't despair in sorrow
and remains unattached in joy...
One who is free from desire,
fear, and anger...
He is called a person with steady wisdom.
This is Bacchchala Malli's story.
This is not just his story,
You may come across people like
"Bacchala Malli"
somewhere in your family,
locality, or village.
I plead with you all,
please never ever make such undone
foolishness decisions in your life.
And if you do,
what will remain with you is,
unbearable pain and memories
too painful to recall.
"Such anger is unnecessary, isn't it?"
"When lies infiltrate life,
it turns hollow."
"Time spares no one..."
"Like a mother, she bears witness."
"A man filled with ego can never thrive.
Darkness prevails!"
"What philosophy could explain this?"
"Why not look within yourself?"
"History is a lesson,
the past a moral teacher."
"Beginnings and endings.
What will they reveal?"
