Hari Hara Veera Mallu (2025) Movie Script
Look, Dad, food!
Hand it to me.
Come. Give it to me.
-Give me!
-Hey!
Catch him.
Dad!
Dad!
-Son!
-Dad!
Son!
Dad!
-Son! Son!
-Move aside! Hey!
-Oh my!
-What happened?
What the hell happened?
Son!
Son!
Anyone... Please bring
some water for my son.
Sir! Some water...
My lord.
Maasha'Allah!
The large diamond will
weigh more than ten raatis.
Those who dug the
mud get in the ganji line!
Those who brought
diamonds get in the mudda line.
Son...
Have this.
It'll heal.
Don't our lives have
any value, Dad?
They're putting us through so much pain
and robbing us of the fruits of our labor.
Everyone is exploited
by those above them.
Our Dora loots us.
Then the Nawab of
Golconda loots him.
And finally, the Mughal
Emperor in Delhi loots the Nawab.
Then the Emperor
is the biggest thief!
Doesnt he ever get looted?
To loot all these looters,
God, who is above us all,
will certainly send someone.
He will come and loot them all.
Please, someone save us!
Oh no! A small child
is caught in the current!
No one knows
whose child he is...
but somehow, hes
ended up at our temple.
What a strange sight!
A scavenging eagle has
spread its wings to shelter him.
Guruji, should we give him a
horizontal mark since we found him,
or a vertical one because
Lord Garuda brought him here?
Neither. He's a divine manifestation
of the Mother Goddess herself.
In time, he will devote
his life to the people.
Establishing justice
will be his lifes mission.
Are you saying hes
destined to be a king?
He will be something
greater... a soldier.
He will become a servant of the
people, praised by the masses.
If this child is destined
to be a great hero,
please grant him a
name worthy of his future.
He's a hero, just like you said.
He has the blessings of Lord Vishnu,
Lord Shiva and Goddess Adi Shakti.
He's Hari Hara Veeramallu!
Long live Alamgir!
Either the throne...
or the grave.
God gives two choices to
the royal family members.
The one who worships
devoutly becomes king.
The one who questions
goes to the burial ground.
Aurangzeb...
God treats everyone equally.
So...
will you disrespect Khuda by honoringKafirs, who are not of our religion?
Have you already decided
Islam means nothing to you?
Khudas blessings are
not bound by religion.
One reaches God
only through love.
Go then,
Padshahzada-i-Buzurg Martaba!
Dara Sikoh.
This Aurangzeb is releasing
your Sufi soul from your body.
It is His Royal Decree
that, on this occasion,
the gift must be placed
on His Majesty's tablecloth.
My son Aurangzeb has
immense love for his father.
Oh God!
I will place this peacock throne
in that old red fort of Shah Jahan.
I will prove myself worthy
of the name Aurangzeb.
From this day forward,
Aurangzeb shall shine
as the crown jewel
of the Timurid dynasty.
Such is the history I create.
You want the throne?
Or a death warrant?
-Asif, Allah's messenger--
-Silence, Father!
Am I coveting this country
for my personal benefit?
Why did Jalaluddin Muhammad Babur
cross the Khyber Pass and come here?
What are you doing with
his legacy? It's disgraceful!
InshaAllah!
Our sacred flag must fly
proudly over this Hindu nation.
Nature has another
decree, Aurangzeb.
The future shows no mercy to those
who ignore the lessons of the past.
Your madness will
provoke the Kafirs.
One of them will cast you
down from your peacock throne.
He might not even wear a
crown. He could be a commoner.
Some day, he'll
appear before you.
We'll see about that.
If the kafirs have such a
hero in their blood, let him rise.
Let him come.
Sahib...
[in French] Welcome,
Seor Tavernier!
Machilipatnam Bandar, the commercial
capital of South India, is awaiting you.
How are you doing, Kasi Lingam?
Sahib... You're speaking Telugu?
How are your wife and deadlings?
Hope all are doing
great, Kashilingam.
Deadlings?
Sir... You have mixed children
and ritual food for the dead
like a tamarind rice.
This time, two ships worth
of stock is ready for you.
This is Ratnagarbha, Sahib. It'll
yield as much as you can haul.
Look at how theyre looting our nations
wealth and taking it to foreign lands!
It's not that easy.
From now on, forget
jewels and gems,
they wont be able to
take even a handful of dirt!
Do you think he will come?
He will definitely come!
[in French] Diamond!
[speaking Persian]
Sahib...
You have arrived with
your forces. Is it for him?
These are very valuable diamonds.
I won't let him get his hands on them.
Please come.
All yours.
A ruby is fifty-three paisa.
There are a thousand rubies.
You won't find better
ones anywhere in the world.
The measure is a
tola for ten paisa.
Sahib...
That's the same whistle!
-He's here. Get him!
-Let's go!
I kept saying to the Sahib,
"Hope he doesnt come."
But here you are.
Many pray to God for me to come.
But you? Youre hoping I dont.
Your plans won't work this time.
The Sahib has arrived with
his army. And you're all alone.
They may come in herds,
devouring everything in their path...
But one well-placed explosive
is enough to cull that herd!
He came here to finish us. He
won't leave until he's done so!
Oh my god! Big elephant!
Soldiers!
[in Hindi] Catch him.
You wont escape from here!
Let's go! Shut your trap!
Hey!
The diamonds...!
Hey, hey, hey!
Shoot your arrows!
Shoot them now.
That's a Palnadu
sword, Kashilingam.
Lift it with courage.
Out with it.
Here you go.
What about mine?
Should I call you a
thief for stealing it?
Or a master for returning it?
-Seems pretty light.
-Huh?
Did you earn this through
hard work? Or did you buy it?
You just stole it. Thats
more than you deserve.
-These will suffice for that coal.
-Coal?
When did you switch this?
I knew you'd go back on your
word. Thats why I swapped the sack.
-Out with it. Come on!
-My man...
Deceiving you was a mistake.
Here are the gold coins I
promised you. Take them.
Just give me my
stuff, and I'll leave.
What a relief!
You have come to your senses.
-Watch your steps.
-As you say.
Hey! Who are you?
Who the hell are you?
Saira Begum...
Your voice sounds sweet. But
the veil looks dirty. Remove it.
You look like a blanket
draped over a buffalo!
What's the matter?
My name is Venkata Muni
Manikyam. I am a diamond expert.
Seeing your daring
feat at Bandar,
our young Dora asked
me to bring you along.
-Does Young Dora mean a kid?
-Huh? He's an adult!
-An adult? Then ask him to come.
-Yeah. Huh? Here, listen!
Veera, Veera,
Veera! Wait up, man.
Veera, they'll give me
rewards if you come with me.
Dear Sadhus. One moment, please.
He will give you a bag of coins
for this monastery. Please take it.
What do I even have?
Nothing but the turban on my
head and sandals on my feet.
What will you do with such a big
bundle wrapped around your waist?
Please have them.
May you have a good life.
How did this come about?
So, you stole it there to
donate it here, is that it?
-You're a great man!
-Hey!
You can also become great if you
give me what's around your neck.
I beg from beggars.
Leave me alone!
Tell me what the matter is.
The young Dora is calling
you. If you can come...
-When?
-On Sankranti day.
Sankranti?
Alright. Let's go.
Aurangzeb invited us here for
a truce. Why isn't he here yet?
Instead of His
Majesty Aurangzeb,
his envoy, Abu Suleman
will attend the discussions.
I waited so long
just to see him...
but I can't even
see his shadow now.
Alamgir's greetings to the
Maratha, Jat, and Rajput Kings.
Don't you know that kings
discuss only with kings
and not with envoys like you?
Is your Aurangzeb afraid
to face three kings at once?
Let him stay happily
in the Red Fort.
So, what is the reason
for this gathering?
The orders being issued
by His Majesty Aurangzeb...
We are extending an
invitation to the kingdoms
under Mughal rule to
embrace our religion.
Any kingdom that chooses not to convert
shall be required to pay the Jizya tax.
This is a tax that non-Muslim
kings and their people must pay
in order to practice
their own religion.
Agree to the terms and
place your royal seal on these.
Silence!
Must we pay a tax to follow
our own religion, in our own land?
Tell your Aurangzeb.
He and his forefathers
should be paying us
for coming from elsewhere, living
on our land and breathing our air.
Alamgir doesnt accept no, its not
possible, or it cannot be as answers.
Its his custom to kill anyone
who gives such an answer and
send them straight to paradise.
You dare threaten us?
People tell many
tales about the valor
of Rajputs, Jaats, and Marathas,
from China to Parswan, Yavana.
If he truly carries
Mughal valor in his veins,
then let him face
us, sword in hand.
If he does,
I will behead him with his own
sword and place it in his hand!
I'll place it in his hand...
Who are you?
The name is Aurangzeb.
Servant of God.
Emperor of this universe.
An army without its king is
like a serpent without a head.
Change your religion
without groveling!
Accept servitude to
the Mughal throne.
At least your lives
will be spared.
Wazir, ready the troops.
We are marching to Deccan now.
This is my response to any king
who refuses to change his religion
and to any kingdom
that wont pay Jizya!
Blessed be the conqueror!
Blessed be the conqueror!
Blessed be the conqueror!
-Sir! Greetings!
-How many families are there, man?
There are twelve
families in total.
They're from Thurpu Mitta!
Each house gets two bags of
paddy, and two bags of husk.
You may collect them.
How will this last
until next year, sir?
There's not enough grain.
We cant offer even a mouthful
to the dead for their final rites.
Please give us an extra bag.
Hey! You're making undue demands
instead of taking your ration of grains.
Have you forgotten the drought when
you survived on mud and buttermilk?
The family has grown, sir... This
is all we have to feed them all.
What?
Why did the family grow?
Should I feed you just because
you slept with your wife?
Sir?
The worlds better off
when you stay hungry.
How can you say that, Dora?
Please reconsider, Dora.
This isnt sufficient
for all of us for a year.
Okay, lets do one thing.
Lets play the Tiger
and Goat game for fun.
Three tigers will enter the
battlefield on our behalf.
If fifteen of your goats
can bring them down,
Ill give an extra bag
to every household.
What? Isn't that enough?
Ill give you ten extra bags!
Ten bags! Come on, lets play.
-How can we play?
-Ten bags!
Dora, we dont need any extra bags.
Just give us our bags, that's enough.
Youre the ones who decide
everything now? Go and play!
Is one missing from the count?
-Hey! Will you play?
-Hes just a kid.
You stay quiet. You
tell me. Will you play?
-Yes, I will.
-You shut up.
-[both] Well play, Dora.
-Go on.
Panchami!
Panchami! Panchami!
Dora is holding a
tiger and goat match
between the farmers and
the wrestling champions.
Dorasani is calling you.
Their poverty is these
peoples entertainment.
Their hunger has
become a spectacle.
-Tell her, I wont come.
-I won't come, I won't come.
I won't come, I won't come.
Cover that side!
Dad!
-Hey!
-Finish him off.
Bravo!
Theyre the ones
who work the fields.
Our Dora feeds everyone
here. Our mighty Dora.
Dad, the grains are spilling!
-Wait a minute, dear.
-Dad!
Give that over here.
Oh no! What's this?
It's my beloved
muthyala chandravanka.
It's okay!
Why don't you use yours to tie?
-Isn't this your estate?
-Oh!
-Logic!
-Let's go.
-Whats your name?
-Sri Mahalakshmi.
Lakshmi, assume you've given
your muthyala chandravanka
-to Mahalakshmi.
-As you say.
Oh no!
Thats the tigers grab.
Tiger and Goat!
Our Dora's fun time
Oh no!
-Well done!
-Oh no!
This doesnt feel like a game.
Everything is just a
game for our Dora.
-You, come here.
-Mr. Muni Manikyam?
Fine, keep watching. Ill
go inform Kotappa Dora.
You guys join the game.
We cant play, Dora.
-Please give us our bags.
-Hey!
Stop the supplies.
Hey! Stop. Put the bags down.
Everyone, listen carefully!
Only the winner gets the grain.
Not just one or two bags.
Whoever defeats my tigers...
Gets all the bags here!
-[together] We cant play, Dora!
-Go on, play!
Can I play?
-Who are you, man?
-It's me!
Is he on your side?
Yeah, Im on their side.
You said youd give all the
bags to the winner, right?
Im on the peoples
side. Ill play.
How dare you look our Dora
in the eye? Lower your eyes!
-Dora, I brought Veeramallu...
-Is that him?
He says hell play.
-Go challenge them!
-Sir!
-Sir, please, just let us go.
-That wont work.
You must play with him.
Why are you backing off
when I'm with you? Come on!
Lets crush the tigers paw!
They wont come.
Looks like these
goats are scared.
They dont want to come.
Its okay. Ill play alone.
Ill play alone.
Will you face
three tigers alone?
Three tigers mean nothing to me.
Send all of your tigers.
Ill take them all down at once!
Can you defeat all 15 tigers?
Theyll finish you off.
Until now, youve seen
tigers devouring goats.
Now youll see a savage
tiger hunt other tigers!
Panchami! Come fast!
The warrior is here!
The warrior is here!
The warrior is here!
I want to sacrifice his flesh at
the Mukkala festival tomorrow!
He rose like a
storm on ocean tides
Like a desert sun He
scorched their pride
When they ran
wild, a lion roared
Behold! It is death
That stands before you
In oceans depths,
in deserts blaze
Run as you may
Hes the wall youll face
-Who could it be?
-I have no idea.
Thats a tiger punch!
He escaped.
Dora! Dora!
-Yeah?
-That's Veeramallu!
Veeramallu.
He broke their
pride, rewrote the tale
Like a pounding
hammer, fierce and hot
Thats the Telugu man Who
slapped his thigh and made us proud
Bravo!
Panchami!
Panchami!
Wait!
He broke their
pride, rewrote the tale
Like a pounding
hammer, fierce and hot
Thats the Telugu man Who
slapped his thigh and made us proud
Its 60,000 bags of
grain. Go! Take them!
The harvest doesnt belong
to the winner of the game.
It belongs to the
farmers who cultivate it.
-Distribute it among my people.
-And what about you?
Me?
Tell me, what do you want?
I want to look Dora in the eye.
-You may look.
-Not just me.
Then?
I want all my people to look.
They must learn that the ruler
has a head, not just feet to bow over.
Hey, everyone, get up!
Savage tiger!
Veera the savage tiger!
O butter thief Let
your eyes find in me
The longing
that stirs within
O butter thief Let
your eyes find in me
The longing
that stirs within
O butter thief Let
your eyes find in me
The longing
that stirs within
O butter thief Let
your eyes find in me
The longing
that stirs within
Gentle as mercy His
smile lights up the dark
Savior of the world Entranced
by his flutes sweet call
Hey! You've seen enough. Come.
The one who wears forest as
garlands The son of Vasudeva
The enchanting one
Who's Radhas beloved
Stop! Ive been watching from
the start, you're behaving indecently.
I'm synonymous with proper behavior.
Why target me, Mr. Muni Manikyam?
Wow, what a performance! You
think I didnt see you staring at her?
-Me? Stare at her?
-Yes! You! You were staring at her!
You were blatantly staring!
-Blatantly staring?
-Yeah.
-Did you watch the whole thing? Okay...
-Yes!
Who stared first, me or her?
Me or her? Me or her? Me
or her? Was it me? Me? Me?
It was her.
The enchanting one
Who's Radhas beloved
So what?
She is like a Gold-dusted doll,
all dressed up, staring straight at
me... What do you expect me to do?
You dont have to do anything.
Just relax in the guest room.
I want to know what those
eyes are trying to tell me.
No need to know!
Ive to meet her to find out.
No need to meet her!
Looks like you're trying to get my
head hung at the bungalow gate.
This can't go on. You
should be locked in the room.
Panchami! The warrior is here.
[humming "Vanamali Vasudeva"]
-You like me.
-What do you mean?
If you didnt like me, what
was that long stare about?
How long?
As long as one looks
at the one they like.
Did you like me?
Panchami!
Panchami!
Panchami!
Go! Just go!
I'll leave if you
say you like me.
I dont like you.
Fine I'll stay right here.
And we'll be caught.
I beg you! Please leave!
-Please leave.
-Panchami!
Oh no! Just go, man!
Panchami!
I've been calling your
name. What were you doing?
-I was talking to the parrot.
-Hey!
Don't try these tricks with me!
I havent touched you
because I want to marry you.
No matter where I am,
you must stay beside me.
Be prepared.
Ill explain it to her. You go.
-Explain!
-I will!
Panchami...
Escape if you
can. If not, adapt.
Theres no other way.
I thought you were
his sister or daughter...
Never imagined this.
Let me ask you
since you like me.
Why are you staying
in a place you dislike?
I'm an orphan!
I was raised by concubines.
When he saw me
dance in the temple,
he paid those who
raised me and bought me.
I can't adapt here.
Can you help me?
Will you help me escape?
Will you take me away from Dora?
Ill take you away.
Son, in the mines on
the banks of Krishna...
the hard work is ours.
The control is ours.
Yet Qutb Shah reaps the fruit.
Only the small
diamonds belong to Dora.
If it weighs more
than ten raatis,
Dora has to personally take it
and hand it over at Golconda.
It's like a postman's
job. Isn't it unfair?
A processions marching to Golconda
to hand over the diamonds to the Sultan.
You must steal them on the way
and hand it to our
man at Surat port.
Ill grab it before
you can hand it off.
No one will know
your hand stole it.
Exactly! You've grasped it!
Twelve diamonds in total!
Twelve diamonds?
How did you find out?
Sir, I didnt tell him.
Does someone have to tell
Veeramallu about the diamonds?
Your payment for robbing is...
One diamond!
Whats so funny?
I might be taking the
diamonds from you...
but I'll be stealing
the Sultans treasure!
I thought you were fearless?
But not brainless!
Two? Do you know the
value of those diamonds?
Im asking because
I know their worth.
Just one diamond could
sustain all of you for five years.
No one would go hungry
or be without clothes.
What I heard is true, then.
There are thieves who
steal for themselves.
But you? You steal
to give to others.
-Fine! Take two...
-Two?
Do you know what else they
call monsters in human form?
Qutb Shahi's army!
Its not...
as simple as you think.
Would I accept if
it were so simple?
Its dangerous!
I only take
challenging jobs, Dora.
Come one, come all!
Play the game and
win double the money.
Come one, come all!
Dont miss out on your chance!
Two becomes four.
Four becomes eight.
Eight becomes sixteen.
Come one, come all!
-Mine is on the moon.
-Lord!
You are the only hope for
them all, Lord. Harom Hara!
Hey! I won! I won!
-He is the lucky one.
-Give it to me! It's mine!
All your money is gone!
Give me. Give me.
You've won double
the money. Celebrate!
-Come one, come all!
-Beat these two guys first!
These two are partners!
They are one and the same.
-They are stealing all our money.
-Hey, what are you talking about?
He looks like a fort guard.
How can he be my man?
Hey! He looks like a
porter inside the fort.
-How can he be my man?
-Hey! You filthy-faced wretch.
-How dare you call me that?
-Hey! You dent-faced fool.
-I'll kill you if you say another word!
-How dare you grab my shirt?
You unnecessarily started
a fight between these two.
It looks like they'll
fight to the death.
Hey, go your own separate ways!
Did you think I'd
keep playing with him?
Go! Go away!
Why are you looking at my face?
Go. You have lost your coins. Right?
Come back here tomorrow
with plenty of coins!
A talisman!
-Abbanna...
-Yes?
Someone gave us a
talisman wishing us well.
This doesn't look
like a talisman.
Life isnt a game of deceit and flight.
Ill teach you how to truly move forward.
Meet me at the border of
Palnaadu. From Veeramallu.
[both] Let's meet then.
Visanna's favorite place
Eating jail food--
Oh no!
Oh, cunning Vissanna, who
defeats enemies with strategies.
I need your brilliant brain. Let's
meet at the border of Palnaadu.
Veeramallu?
[in unison] Babuk!
You all saw, didn't you?
Babuk, the Persian warrior!
The defeater of many!
If there's anyone brave enough
here, please step forward.
There he is!
The Pathan from Balochistan.
He is as strong as Hanuman.
He's the Bhima of every arena!
Why the delay? Place
your bets and win money!
You'll only get
money if you get hit.
Its not about defeat in the
arena. Set your sights on victory.
Meet me at the borders of
Palnaadu. From Veeramallu.
You are our Verri
Vissanna Uncle, aren't you?
That's the same nose. Uncle!
If you're calling
me Verri Vissanna...
then you must be Verri
Vengalappa's nephews, right?
-Abbanna and Subbanna!
-No. Subbanna and Abbanna.
If youre causing this much chaos,
you are undoubtedly my nephews!
Abbanna, Subbanna, Subbanna...
Who is this flagpole here?
Veeramallu must have
invited him just like he called us.
Oh! Where is Veeramallu?
-All these are for you.
-Really?
Have a seat.
Vissanna, your taste buds must be
dead after eating bland prison food, right?
That's why I have
some fish curry for you.
Look here, there's
tasty prawn fry.
Eat.
Baluchi!
You look tired from
taking punches for money.
That's why I brought
you some country chicken.
Savor every bite.
Abbanna and Subbanna...
Here's some mutton,
specially made for you.
Tell us, brother.
What's the work?
It's very dangerous!
Got it!
Like Lord Rama had a
monkey army, you need us.
-Isn't it?
-Exactly.
It's a two-night journey.
The battalion will
reach Saroornagar.
That's the right time.
Along with the diamonds,
we must take that girl too.
What's the girl's name?
Panchami.
So, Panchami must be
freed on Dashami day.
But, will Dora stay quiet if we take
the girl after giving him the diamonds?
Who said we'll
return the diamonds?
Our deal was only to steal.
[in Urdu] May peace be
upon you. Please come.
Go with them, dear.
Has he come?
Why doubt? He
must be here already.
For the wheel to spin swiftly
You need to apply lubricant
For the task to happen
correctly The wheel must spin
Hey!
-[in Hindi] What is this?
-This is a large metal pot.
There's lubricant in it.
If you apply it to the
axle, the wheel will turn.
Can't you say it
properly in Telugu?
[in Telugu] Yes. Yes.
We can say it in Telugu.
Apply it.
For the wheel to spin swiftly
You need to apply lubricant
For the task to happen
correctly The wheel must spin
Right here, you have
a private bathing room.
We even have a special
bathing paste ready for you.
The one who wears forest as
garlands The son of Vasudeva
The enchanting one
Who's Radhas beloved
Let's go. Take me away!
Panchami...
Do you know who I am?
I am Veeramallu.
Now tell me.
Should I help you escape?
Or take you with me?
Dora and everyone saw
me only as a concubine.
You're the only one
who saw me as a girl.
It's my fortune
that the one I like
is also brave enough
to free me from Dora.
Please take me away.
Watch me bring Veeramallu
to you. Right here!
Good evening, Dora. Good
evening, Munimanikyam.
I've brought dice with me.
-These?
-They are yours.
-I brought them as a memento.
-The dice are fine.
When did you say youd
strike? When did you show up?
They're not claps
to strike whenever!
How many soldiers did you
say? How many are there?
We expected a hundred men.
-Another hundred have joined.
-Yeah.
To take two things
without 200 people noticing
shouldn't I wait for
the right moment?
-Two things? What are they?
-One is the diamonds.
-The second? What's the second one?
-The second one is Dora's...
-Blessings.
-You'll always have it.
That's enough, Dora.
That's all I wanted to hear.
-You may leave. Go. Go.
-I will. I'll fix the curtain and go.
-What?
-The waist is as sharp as a knife.
What?
Looks like theres
a knife at the waist.
Yes. It's my favorite knife.
It's very difficult not
to lay hands on it.
You stop talking about waists and
knives and tell me about the looting!
At the second
watch of the night.
I'll take them away.
We don't know
how you will do it,
but they should vanish by
the second watch of the night!
They will.
Then our Dora will
innocently step out...
and pretend to be
suffering in front of everyone.
-He will live in the moment.
-I didn't get it.
Munimanikyam, you
understood, didn't you?
-Won't you explain it to him?
-If you say so.
Dora... your knife! Wow!
The enchanting one
Who's Radhas beloved
Five-colored parrot, prediction parrot!
Our favorite parrot, the zodiac expert!
Hey, parrot! Tell me
this pretty lady's name.
Jalaja. Jalaja.
Jalaja? Your parrot is wrong.
My name is Vanaja.
My truthful, fragrant parrot! How
did you even lie, oh caged parrot?
Jalaja is my name.
-How close it was, the crazy parrot!
-Indeed!
Oh my!
He is so handsome, isn't he?
Among all these men, hes the
only one who looks like a real man.
-Come, let's get a hold of him.
-Let's go.
-Hey! Come here.
-Come on.
Boy, Im old enough
to get married.
Will you marry me?
-Will you marry me?
-Hands off.
I've already found my bride.
Is she prettier than us?
Is she?
With sharp, pointed whiskers
With cub-like, bold steps
With mischievous glances With
manliness blazing like a furnace
He came swiftly He
is like a thunderbolt
He thought of something
He searched for someone
Who is it, who is it?
Who is it, who is it?
Who is it, who is it?
Who is it, who is it?
She's a silver
doll of Kondapalli
She glanced at me
with her sharp eyes
A doll made of sweet honey
She drew the
sweet curtains aside
She has the
glitter of diamonds
She has the radiance of gems
Her curves are like rubies
She sparkles like gold coins
She created a fire
Within my golden heart
She increased the heat
And melted my heart
She looted it
She plundered it
Looting my heart
She tied it into a bundle
She looted it
She plundered it
She tied it into a bundle
She tied it into a bundle
Oh dear, Oh dear
Oh! What else did
that young girl do?
Oh dear, Oh dear
Oh! What spell Did
that young girl cast?
The kohl-like
cloud in her eyes
Sprinkled darkness upon me
With just her words
She twisted my heart
She hid her secret
A woman's heart
is like a forest
Are you a child who doesn't
know this? Are you that innocent?
A young girl's nature is hard to
grasp Don't you already know that?
Are you dry like a ginger
root? Are you soft like butter?
Getting hold of this Proud
man with a moustache
And making him a child
By applying some concoction
She looted it
She plundered it
Looting my heart
She tied it into a bundle
She looted it
She plundered it
She tied it into a bundle
She tied it into a bundle
The misty winds
in her breath
Scattered
letters of her love
The valor that
swells like a tide
It shackled her beauty
You stole the heart of the one
Who had no worries or cares
You drove the cautious
Young man crazy
Whatever the path
Whatever the distance
I will remain as your shadow
Whatever the name
Whatever the manner
I will call you my husband
She looted it
She plundered it
Looting my heart
She tied it into a bundle
She looted it
She plundered it
She tied it into a bundle
She tied it into a bundle
Wow!
Go ahead, enjoy your meal.
Bravo!
-Stay outside for a while.
-[both] Okay.
[in Hindi] Attention!
What happened?
-The diamonds are in danger.
-Danger?
You know about the theft at
the Machilipatnam port, right?
That jewel thief
is roaming around.
That's why, additional
forces have been deployed.
Who is that foreigner?
He is Benjamin Morris,
the Sultan's Dutch warrior.
He sent a message
with his commander.
Morris is waiting near
Charminar with his army.
Everyone, prepare
for the journey!
Dora...
The guards doubled again!
Where is Veeramallu?
Get in!
-Uncle, guns.
-We stole them.
Bravo! Only these are left!
A battalion that goes
into Bhagyanagara,
is like a crocodile
that enters a pond, son.
-We cannot endure it!
-You cannot endure it.
Whether it's a pond crocodile, or
a forest beast, it must be defeated.
[both] Uncle!
Weve reached Charminar.
Why isnt Veeramallu here yet?
There he is!
Faster!
Go!
Hey!
Where could he be?
Could he have run away?
Dora, I am here.
Here are the diamonds.
Diamonds!
Hey! Why are you here?
I'm tired, Dora. I'm tired!
Hey, hey, hey! We
shouldnt be seen together.
-We shouldn't?
-We shouldn't! Do something about it!
-Anything?
-Yes! Anything!
Dora! Oh god!
Dora! He ran off with both
the girl and the diamonds!
We're doomed.
He stole the Sultans
diamonds. Kill him!
Veera!
Hey!
Hey!
Veera!
Youre the first to lay hands
on the Qutub Shahi treasure...
and live to tell the tale!
Veeramallu?
How many times have you
looted Golcondas treasure so far?
I havent kept count.
I heard you looted
our treasure...
and gave it to the people?
It actually belongs to
the people, doesn't it?
You should be hanged
for what you did.
But do you know why
we brought you here alive?
This...
is the rare diamond
that saved your life.
It's like the legendary
Shamanthakamani.
A light as bright as a mountain.
Weighing at 180 rattis...
It's the Koh-i-Noor!
Isnt it a glass stone, Sultan?
Its clear that
its a duplicate.
Where is the real diamond?
Back in Prataparudras time,
when Golconda was "Golla Konda,"
this Kolluru diamond ended
up in Alauddin Khilji's hands.
From there, it passed
to Ibrahim Lodi,
and from there to the Mughal
Sultan, Zahir ud-Din Muhammad Babur.
After that, there was
no trace of it for decades.
And now, its surfaced
in Shahjahanbad, Delhi.
If you fulfill Tana Shah's desire,
you'll never have to rob again!
Hell gift you a diamond mine.
Hell make you the
Dora of that parganah.
Whatever treasure you
find in that mine will be yours.
Whether you distribute
it or keep it... is up to you.
So, you want this
returned to Golconda.
Am I right?
Where is this diamond now?
At Qila-e-Mubarak! Lal Qila!
At the Mughal
Darbar in Red Fort...
In the middle of Diwan-i-Khas!
While building the Taj Mahal for
Mumtaz Begum, the Emperor Shah Jahan
spent four times that amount to
craft a Peacock Throne for himself.
Crowned upon the
head of the king of kings,
glowing like sunlight born
of earths deepest core,
held close by the legendary
Timur Ruby, is the Koh-i-Noor.
Its our Kolluru diamond,
right? Well bring it back.
It's not so simple!
Do you know who is sitting
on that throne right now?
It's Badshah Ghazi!
Shahenshah-e-Sultanat!
Muzaffar Muhi-ud-Din
Muhammad Aurangzeb Alamgir!
You must retrieve that
diamond from Alamgirs throne.
Youre offering me a diamond
mine for just one diamond...
I understand its value.
This isnt about the value,
its about our self-respect!
Trying to restore Golcondas
honor and reclaim the Koh-i-Noor,
seven trained warriors
have laid down their lives.
Seven trained warriors?
Instead of sacrificing
me at Red Fort...
Why cant you hang
me in Golla Konda?
Ill die in the
place I was born.
Theres only one
Koh-i-Noor on this earth.
To bring it home, we need a weapon
of destiny, like Lord Ramas arrow.
We believe that it's you.
Youre the one who
mastered all 64 traditional arts.
You walked away from Charminar
only because it wouldn't fit in your sack.
Or else youd have
claimed it by now...
Gulfam Khan! My
quickest soldier!
He has been monitoring Shah
Jahanabad closely for the past three years.
He knows every
inch of the Red Fort.
Veera!
Alamgir will kill you if youre
caught stealing the Koh-i-Noor.
Well kill you if you come
back without the Koh-i-Noor.
If you try to run away
with the Koh-i-Noor...
Portuguese war
hero, our Alphonsa...
He cant even touch
the verge of my garment!
Pardon me, Tana Shah!
Every year, you send
turmeric-soaked rice
to our Lord
Bhadrachalam Sita Rama.
Thats why I respect
you. I will bring it back.
You said its Golla
Kondas pride, right?
I will bring it
back to restore it.
Its the Kolluru diamond
found in the Krishna River basin.
It belongs to our soil.
I'll bring it home.
[heroic hymn]
-Peace be upon you!
-And peace be upon you, too.
Who are all these people?
He's Abdullah! The
Nawabs most trusted man.
Hes coming with us.
I dont need muscle,
I need wisdom.
-What do you mean?
-I want my team!
This one's for you, Abbanna.
We grew so close to
Veera in just a few days.
I never thought hed
leave just as quickly.
Veera, I pray to God that at least in
the next life, we get to share a drink.
May this bring
peace to your soul.
I'm not afraid of the
demon on the tree!
I'm not afraid of the
demon on the tree!
Idiot! I'm alive.
Veera.
-Youre not hurt, are you?
-No.
Who are they?
Those idiots work for Qutb Shah.
Qutb Shahs men?
So, you sacrificed us
for your own survival?
Look, see how he's staring! He
will kill me with numerous stabs.
-Youre going to sacrifice us?
-Hear me out.
-Im talking. Why are you hitting me?
-Listen, you fool!
Hey, fix me a drink first!
We must go to Delhi.
-Ill explain why later.
-I will not come!
Leave me. Hey, Veera!
I ended up in jail
because of you.
Going to Delhi with you would
mean Ill lose my head for sure!
-I'm not coming.
-Hey, stop it!
Veera, we're alive,
and our families are
safe, all because of you.
-We trust you, and its your call.
-Hey...
You said you wanted wisdom...
They seem like they lack wisdom.
Oh, I didnt know wisdom
required being tall and built!
Such a moron. Listen
here, you numbskull...
What good is a mans size or power
if he cant stand by his own family?
We'll handle the
task youve given me.
If not, tell Quli Qutub
Shah to handle it himself.
These are the approval
papers we need to stay in Delhi.
What's this? It's written in
Arabic, I can't understand it.
Very well! Where do we begin?
Through Burhanpur,
Bundelkhand, Gwalior, and Delhi.
[in Urdu] Your Honor!
The eighth man has
started from Golconda.
He must not reach Delhi alive.
Theyre two
mountains ahead of us.
We have to catch up to them.
March!
Hey, Gulfam!
Its not safe to go any further.
We should take a
roundabout path.
Why?
The birds are fleeing.
The lake is still and calm.
A threat is imminent.
Come, we shall
take a different path.
Taking the path you're suggesting
will add an extra 20 miles to our journey.
We won't reach Delhi
at the expected time.
We'll never reach Delhi if
we continue on this road!
We shall see!
We're in your hands
now, Devudu. Forward!
Oh, no!
Damn those diamonds of yours!
Oh no!
If I fall now, therell
be nothing left to find.
Right?
Where did they go?
Hey guys! Why
did you stop there?
You rushed in like a young man.
Learn from my Uncle.
How to keep your mouth
shut when you're old.
[in Hindi] Gulfam,
are you alright?
Gulfam!
History remembers
more who perished
by ignoring the caution
than those who heeded it.
Dimwit!
We must listen.
We must listen to Veeramallu.
Must listen.
Hey!
[in Hindi] Stop that noise.
Enough of your
performance. Eat this.
Abdul! Roast it properly.
Properly!
Why are you staring, Gulfam?
Do you mean to threaten me?
Are you angry?
I have seen many like you.
Munimanikyam, please tell him
not to underestimate me.
That idiot wont
stop staring at me.
Abbanna, Subbanna.
Start the beat!
You must listen, oh
lad You must listen
Listen to all wise words
Not every word is right
Dont be hasty with speech
In your mind,
hold a little restraint
You must listen, oh
lad You must listen
Listen to all wise words
This thatch-roof isnt a home
That palm tree isnt a shelter
This thatch-roof isnt a home
That palm tree isnt a shelter
A man you meet is not your husband
No quarrel is worth its weight in gold
Thats why
You must listen, oh
lad You must listen
Listen to all wise words
In a forest without leaves
Oh dear, goats
may graze even there
On a cliff with no edge
A mountain may tumble down
If words cross the line
If you dont
grasp the meaning
If words cross the line If
you dont grasp the meaning
If arrogance bumps wisdom
Its like crashing into a mountain
Thats why
You must listen, oh
lad You must listen
Listen to all wise words
You must listen, oh
lad You must listen
Listen to all wise words
Stop this!
Whats your deal, man?
Wild animals roam here.
-I shall keep watch until the first hour.
-Oh?
Alphonsa will watch
over the rest of the night.
Theyve got these morons
standing guard tonight.
We leave early in the
morning. Everyone sleep now!
Hey! Why are you
aiming the gun at me?
Maybe because I am ahead of
you all in heroism and bravery...
Damn you all!
So, you were going
to kill me in my sleep?
Munimanikyam isn't
afraid of these weapons!
Ill place my life on
a platter and fling it!
Mind your actions!
-Oh dear! Veera!
-It's here.
Good Lord! What are
those vile creatures?
Shall I fetch you a platter?
Be quiet!
Have you looked at
the size of those teeth?
Be careful, Veera!
Why did you stop me from shooting?
It was right in front of my gun!
It's not fair to invade its
territory and take its life.
-Get lost!
-Veera.
Veera.
What magic did you do
with your eyes? They just left.
I spoke to it.
-You spoke? What did you say?
-Yes.
It asked me why I
was in its territory.
I said that because you are much
better than those animals out there.
Then it laughed.
-It laughed?
-Yes. It laughed loudly.
Then it asked me who
these dirty people are.
-You mean us?
-Yes.
I said that they are my friends.
It came a little closer and said,
"Look, Veera, you seem innocent."
Really? "Be careful
with these nasty people."
Then I laughed loudly.
So, you laughed too?
-You didnt catch that?
-I felt it clearly.
-It asked me again.
-Again?
It asked me politely,
"These nasty and dirty people
seem to be full of fat. May I eat them?"
Then I said, "You just called them nasty
and dirty. They'll upset your stomach."
It said, "You're right, Veera."
Then, we both laughed loudly.
Well said!
-You and the beast?
-Yes. Why?
-Didn't it feel like it?
-It definitely did.
I advised it to return home
safely, as it was already quite late.
It gave me a long stare,
and two kisses before leaving.
-Kisses?
-Yes.
You spoke so much
in so little time, huh?
-Why not? Isnt it possible?
-It is.
Hey! Gulfam. Stay.
Except for humans, no other animals
in nature seek violence by choice.
They only kill out
of hunger or fear.
They won't kill
needlessly like you or him.
Get lost.
I looked into its eyes and
said, "We won't harm you."
It believed me and left.
Long ago, there was a man who
could speak to animals with a look.
That was Prophet Suleman.
Saint Francis of Assisi once saved a
village in Italy from a pack of wolves
simply by speaking to
them through their eyes.
How does he know these tricks?
Where did he learn them?
Veera!
-Who does this belong to?
-A girl was here two days ago.
She was very beautiful,
just like the moon.
-This might belong to her.
-W... Where did she go?
I think she went
towards Reva Bazaar.
-Reva Bazaar?
-Yes.
People sell stolen goods
there. It's a thieves' den!
-Everyone there is a thief.
-Oh, no. Thieves?
Yes.
These poor people seem
to be scared of thieves.
Give it.
That poor girl might
get caught over there.
Why don't you help her?
We don't have to help her,
we'll have to help her victims!
-Yes!
-Come on!
-Diamond.
-Where?
Over there.
Thats one rare diamond!
-What price should we quote for it?
-Price?
We can even offer our lives.
For her diamond-like
beauty, or her elegance?
-Hey!
-Majestic!
[both] So majestic!
As you walk by The whole
market turns into a commotion
Please don't give those angry
glances Like a cannon about to fire
What is it you seek, girl? You
shimmer like heat on desert sand
Quote us a price, dear girl
Silver coins or gold coins?
Starry, starry my eyes shine
Moonlight blossoms on my skin
Is there anyone who
can afford The sky I carry?
Starry, starry my eyes shine
Moonlight blossoms on my skin
Is there anyone who
can afford The sky I carry?
When my sweat falls They
hail it as a diamonds glint
If I stand close to them
They get rattled in fear
Sharper than arrows and
blades Is the curve of my waist
Even with armor on their hearts
They wont escape the wounds
To kiss my lips, they offer
kingdoms For my navel, four cities!
These Nawabs claim
Theyd sacrifice everything!
Starry, starry my eyes shine
Moonlight blossoms on my skin
Is there anyone who
can afford The sky I carry?
Theres a trap in her gaze
Theres fire beneath her lips
Her graceful treasures
tempt Without needing words
Wild desires rise, one by
one Youth burns like dry wood
The spark is intense
And it bursts into flames
Its not just eyes and skin,
honey Its the emotion called love
Who can buy it
with a price tag?
This isnt a passing wish,
honey This glow of a maiden
Only those who know
worth Can see its value!
Its not just eyes and skin,
honey Its the emotion called love
Who can buy it
with a price tag?
This isnt a passing wish,
honey This glow of a maiden
Only those who know
worth Can see its value!
Bravo. What's all this
drama, you sly devil?
Hey!
What?
You handed me over to the Nawab
and youre out here
dancing like its no big deal?
That's right, Veera.
-Ask her, Veera.
-Hey, you shut it!
Hey, the least you can
do now is tell me the truth.
-Visanna.
-Veera.
-What is the punishment in this case?
-We stitch their mouth.
We tie them up in a dark room.
No! No! I will
tell you the truth.
I needed money to save
other courtesans like me.
I wanted to steal these diamonds
and use the sale proceeds
to buy their freedom.
That's why I pretended
to fall in love with you.
Oh my...
So, thats the way it is.
Pretended to...
fall in love. Huh?
Pretended.
Alright.
Let's go.
Where?
What?
Where to?
Shut your mouth
and come with me.
-Come.
-Why are we taking this...
deceiver with us?
I've fallen in
love with his girl.
Keep walking.
Hold on, Devudu.
What is it, my boy?
You need water?
Come.
Take it.
-Hey!
-Oh, no!
[in unison] It's water!
I'll give you, children.
I will give you all.
No pushing, please. I
will give it one by one.
Wait. Don't fight.
Why don't you listen
to me? We may spill it.
Oh no!
Didn't I tell you?
We'll spill the water?
I did tell you. Didn't I?
-Why did you--
-Please wait.
It's alright. Come.
Don't cry.
Come, son.
I'm sorry.
Please forgive me.
Are you new to this area?
Northern India has never seen
a famine like this in a century.
Vissanna.
-Everyone, open those bags.
-Open. Open!
Have these too.
Have it.
Take it.
-Kiddo! Eat this.
-This one's for you.
-Please eat.
-I'll take leave.
Eat.
[in Hindi] Brother.
-Yes, dear.
-Due to a lack of rains,
we had no harvest this year.
Nobody is bothered about us.
I don't know where
you came from.
You gave us water.
You fed us and
freed us from hunger.
I will pray to Lord Allah that
you reap success in
whatever you are seeking.
Your prayers will
not go to waste.
Have faith.
-What's going on there?
-A big ritual.
A ritual for the rain god.
[reciting a Sanskrit sloka]
Praying for this barren land, scorched
by drought to be filled with greenery.
Theyre performing a sacred
ritual, to appease Lord Shiva
he who bears Goddess
Ganga upon his head.
Your Honor! We
couldn't find them.
No matter where they hide,
I won't spare them
You kafirs!
This is the Mughal Empire!
You can't have these rituals here.
Usman Khan!
If hes come all the way from the
Deccan, he must be here for us.
We shouldn't stay here
for a minute longer. Come!
Hey! Wait for a minute.
Abbanna.
A wild elephant full of pride
Shaking the ground as it runs
The goad is sharp, the leaders
smart Only the brave can win the part
This wildfire won't stop.
They will burn into ashes
along with the forest.
Come! We're leaving!
Come, while the demons
gather Like storm clouds
Come hurl your rage Like
thunder through the sky!
You started a blaze to stop the
Mughal soldiers from disrupting the ritual.
And now, that same
fire may claim our lives--
Who is he? Who could he
be? Hes a riddle in plain sight
This should bring the famine-stricken
villagers some joy now, right?
A warrior who slips through the world
Untouched by even the suns glance
A warrior who dares steal
the moon And carry it with pride
To rain, theres no such
thing as caste or creed.
It treats all living
beings equally.
A thief who shared every
single penny For others' sake
Hari Hara Veeramallu
Hari Hara Veeramallu
One man like him Is
all it takes to turn the tide
You protected not
only the sacred ritual...
but our faith in God.
This isnt mere rain.
It's the Ganga Abhishekam, poured
upon you by Lord Shiva himself.
Whatever your mission
is, may it succeed.
May you be victorious.
Wait, Veera!
Who are you?
-He is--
-Hey!
Why are you asking
again? Don't you know?
Hes just a common thief.
Common thief?
How would a common
thief know that it would rain?
Would a sage salute him?
Would he speak about
such philosophical ideas?
You have saved
us on the mountain.
You saved those
animals in the forest.
Who are you?
Why did you take Veera to Dora?
Because he stole the diamonds
from Tavernier in Machilipatnam.
You think you tricked Veera
by pretending to love him, right?
Yes.
He came to Dora's notice when he
stole the diamonds in Machilipatnam.
He struck a deal with Dora and
deliberately surrendered to the Nawab.
All this time, we believed we
were the ones taking you to Delhi.
But you are making
us follow your lead.
Even though your words
and actions are different,
we won't believe
that you are a thief.
Tell us who you are!
Tell us!
That is a sacred offering,
you will lose your eyesight!
-Please stop, sir.
-Don't do this.
I beg you, sir!
Did you see this?
Leaving you in such chaos,
why didn't your gods
come to save you?
Youll be damned to hell!
Do you still have
faith in this clay idol?
Change your God.
Or change your religion.
Alamgir's blessings will shower
upon you. Shower of blessings.
You took what you wanted.
-Please leave this place.
-Please leave.
These people won't
heed our orders.
-Break this stone into pieces!
-That is not a mere rock.
It's our deity.
The symbol of our faith.
Ill shatter your faith
right before your eyes!
Break it into pieces!
Face as the enemies
rush in with fury
Spare me!
Didn't you want to find out if
Ammavaru would come to our rescue?
Spare me!
This is how she arrives.
Please forgive us.
March in! As the
enemies rush in with fury
March in! Let
their heads roll!
Unbelievable!
Five dead with a single strike?
And only one man.
You are lying!
When I close my eyes,
I still see his radiant rage!
Even now,
my heart trembles
in fear of what I saw.
A person like him...
I have...
never...
-seen before.
-Maulana saab
is telling the truth, King.
That revolutionary
is known as Veera.
Behind his courage
lies an unknown strength.
Do you know who
that strength is?
Geography, architecture,
and sculpture,
archaeology, and
astronomy sciences...
These disciplines stem from the
wisdom of the Gurukuls five sages.
We are trying to destroy
their Vedas and Shastras.
But those five sages
have absorbed them into
every cell of their being.
Those five living and breathingVedas and Sastras experts
have become a shield
against our efforts
to wipe out their
religion and way of life.
And one of the warriors is...
Veera.
Veera will come to the
defense of any temple we attack.
So, the Hindu society
has finally awakened.
Veera is a small sword...
challenging our stone fortress.
If we don't hack the
hand that held the sword,
many other daggers, swords
and shields will rise against us.
If the people stop
fearing us, were finished.
And that is simply unacceptable!
[chanting in unison] The
teacher of the entire world,
the doctor of all the diseases,
the storehouse of all knowledge,
we salute you, Lord Dakshinamurthy.
Get up, get up.
Come with me quietly.
-Be quick. Come.
-Get up.
Get up, everyone.
Quick. We need to
leave immediately.
Get up fast!
-Come.
-Open the underground chamber.
Keep going.
Fast!
Take this.
-Give it over here.
-Careful.
-Dear! Dear!
-Wait. Listen to me.
They'll join us. Come.
Your Honor! There
is no one here.
Find them, wherever they are.
Shatter this
sculpture into pieces.
You may break it now
but we'll make them again.
Dear!
Ill drag you all from here and
lay your lives at Alamgirs feet.
[in unison] Death
sentence! Death sentence!
Praise be to God!
Death draws near.
You're bleeding out.
But not a drop of
sweat on his face.
The faithful bow their
heads, praying for deliverance.
We don't fear death.
Kill us!
As long as this faith endures,
the destiny of Bharata's
kingdom shall remain unaltered.
Today, that faith
will end with you.
As long as Veera lives, our
arts and sciences will live on.
THE CULTURE WE INHERITED MUSBE PASSED TO THE NEXT GENERATION.
Veera! So, he is the
keeper of your faith.
Then, it is unfair to kill you.
Announce that the spiritual
leaders are in our custody.
We shall see if Veera
dares to come and save him.
Rivers flowing towards the
ocean... that is natures way.
But when the ocean
rises to meet a river...
Thats a sign of calamity.
Right before the
Mahalaya new moon day,
such a calamity is
rushing towards you.
Remember its name.
Veera!
God willing...
Aurangzeb will
be waiting for it.
Once I crush him...
my sword will
return to your throat.
I've promised everyone back home
that I'll protect my teacher's
life as my gurudakshina.
I must go to Delhi for that.
I worked with Dora
for the Nawab's benefit.
I stole in Machilipatnam to
facilitate a meeting with Dora.
You want Koh-i-Noor...
And I want my people.
Alamgir has
Koh-i-Noor on his crown.
The sages are in captivity
in the Red Fort dungeons.
Freeing both at the
same time is impossible.
Well die if we try to get both.
Those sages they captured
are no ordinary men.
They will pass their wisdom not just to
this generation, but the next one as well.
Each one of them is a
Koh-i-Noor in their own right.
Ill gladly give my
life to protect them.
But I refuse to
gamble with your lives.
-We will meet again.
-Veera.
Wait, Veera.
We accepted this task knowing
full well it could cost us our lives.
Dying by your side...
is an honor!
Veera.
We are with you.
If you think we can contribute,
well gladly walk beside
you until your goal is fulfilled.
We'll reach the checkpost next.
You shall be allowed passage only
after checking your permission documents.
Along with you,
take Abdullah,
and a couple of others.
Be careful of one thing...
Whatever may happen, don't
let them know that you are Veera.
The rest of us will reach
Delhi through Benaras.
Veera!
Weve been so close all this
time. Now that youre leaving,
I am scared that I
may not see you again.
I want to seek forgiveness with
folded hands for deceiving you.
You wished to hold my hand
and walk through life together.
I want to meet you again.
I want to journey
with you till the end.
This is the Moghul checkpost.
Attention. Attention!
You are entering the kingdom
of Alamgir, King Aurangzeb.
You have to pay the toll
and jizya taxes on your entry.
Give the coins or go away.
-Greetings, sir.
-Welcome.
You have to be careful here.
Maqbool Khan...
is the checkpost's head.
He's Alamgir Aurangzeb's
distant relative.
They cast him out of Delhi
claiming his anarchy
belonged at the border.
We must cross this station
before he sees us.
Why? What will he do?
He will hang us in the entrance.
-Do you want to get hung?
-No need.
Why should we trouble
him? Let's proceed calmly.
Come on. They will hang
us with those ropes, it seems.
Lets not get too
full of ourselves.
[in Hindi] Hey, Kafir!
Go from the other side!
Listen up, Kafirs. Do not enter
from here. Take the other entrance.
All Kafirs enter from
here and stand over there.
All this talk about Kafirs...
But who are they, really?
Those who offer milk to
snakes and worship stones.
-Do you mean us?
-Yes, its you.
Alamgir has ordered that you must
pay jizya tax for looking after you.
This path forbids Hindus
from passing on horseback.
Pathan and I will use
the Muslim doorway.
Enter without
arousing any suspicion.
Move on!
Make it fast!
Idols beyond this point are not allowed.
You'll be punished if caught in the act.
Hey!
What's in this sack?
Bloody Kafir!
Kafir!
Mom!
Mom!
Hey, move it.
Keep moving.
Move!
Move!
Keep moving.
Take it, please. Our hard work.
Stand upright!
Get going.
Are you trying to dupe us?
You can't take this inside.
[together] All hail the
Bolenath! All hail the Bolenath!
Be quiet!
Stop the ruckus right now.
Theres no escaping
punishment today.
How dare you walk in
here singing praises?
Dont you know music is
forbidden in Alamgirs kingdom?
Damn them! They are
taking a lot of money.
What's the use of cursing them?
If a donkey is
seated on the throne,
we must remit or pay
whatever it demands!
Alright. Move on.
Get going.
Three members.
Give it to me.
Theres nothing inside--
-Father!
-Dear!
Alright. So, this is nothing?
So this is what
you've been hiding?
You! I told you
idols are forbidden.
That... It's for the Puja.
It is not an idol.
It's a crystal lingam.
-We use it in our daily prayers.
-Shut up!
-What were you thinking?
-Sir, sir!
Father!
Father!
Father!
Father!
Hey!
-Give it to me!
-It's nothing! It's nothing!
Mother!
Please let us go!
Mother!
Come on. Keep going.
Is this a show for you?
Go on, ask your God
to come. Why wont you?
He storms in like
Rudra at doomsday
Be it sky or earth below, Roars
with a ruthless, rending flow
A weapon not of the weak
Born to cleave the night
Be it to save or to punish Let
the war cry pierce through them!
Hey!
March in! As devils
charge in endless waves
March in! Let thunder
strike with every blow!
March in! As the
enemies rush in with fury
March in! Let
their heads roll!
Catch him!
Hey!
Go from behind.
He should not
escape alive today.
Let's hack him!
The mouse is trapped!
Don't let it escape!
We'll hunt it down today!
Attack!
Like a maddened elephant
With pride unbroken
He storms the world,
leaving it shaken
With a sharpened goad in hand The
untamed one overthrows its destiny
Lets reshape Mother
India With fearless pride
Kill that mongrel!
Finish him off!
Brother.
Brother!
Brother!
Not the horse or the elephant...
Surely not the tiger, either.
Sacrifice the lamb, the meek...
Even God kills the weak!
Even God wants us to
live like lions and tigers.
One man...
Hes fighting alone, and
youre all just silently watching!
When your race and
religion are under threat,
living passively is...
equal to being dead.
Dharma doesn't only
mean singing hymns...
Dharma means...
standing together!
Hey!
Hey!
Go tell Aurangzeb...
To treat everyone equally.
The fierce roar you hear
It's your own blood boiling
With dharma as
vow, walk firm and free
Following the
selfless, righteous way
Let them say what they will
Ill stand tall, unshaken still
Though injustice struck
With ruthless hands
With no fear, no second glance
March ahead in fearless stance
Let fallen heads beneath your tread
Stand as proof of words once said
You stand
unshaken by your vow
Mother... this
fury burns for you
As fiery breath
escapes in gusts
Shaking off sleep and shedding fatigue
Through searing heat, they march unfazed
The fierce roar you hear
It's your own blood boiling
What is your name?
Why?
I would like to add your
name to my daily prayer.
You took a stand for justice.
Veeramallu.
Hari Hara Veeramallu.
Raise your voice
for Mahakal Maharaj!
Hail to thee!
Sub by Filmaholic
Hand it to me.
Come. Give it to me.
-Give me!
-Hey!
Catch him.
Dad!
Dad!
-Son!
-Dad!
Son!
Dad!
-Son! Son!
-Move aside! Hey!
-Oh my!
-What happened?
What the hell happened?
Son!
Son!
Anyone... Please bring
some water for my son.
Sir! Some water...
My lord.
Maasha'Allah!
The large diamond will
weigh more than ten raatis.
Those who dug the
mud get in the ganji line!
Those who brought
diamonds get in the mudda line.
Son...
Have this.
It'll heal.
Don't our lives have
any value, Dad?
They're putting us through so much pain
and robbing us of the fruits of our labor.
Everyone is exploited
by those above them.
Our Dora loots us.
Then the Nawab of
Golconda loots him.
And finally, the Mughal
Emperor in Delhi loots the Nawab.
Then the Emperor
is the biggest thief!
Doesnt he ever get looted?
To loot all these looters,
God, who is above us all,
will certainly send someone.
He will come and loot them all.
Please, someone save us!
Oh no! A small child
is caught in the current!
No one knows
whose child he is...
but somehow, hes
ended up at our temple.
What a strange sight!
A scavenging eagle has
spread its wings to shelter him.
Guruji, should we give him a
horizontal mark since we found him,
or a vertical one because
Lord Garuda brought him here?
Neither. He's a divine manifestation
of the Mother Goddess herself.
In time, he will devote
his life to the people.
Establishing justice
will be his lifes mission.
Are you saying hes
destined to be a king?
He will be something
greater... a soldier.
He will become a servant of the
people, praised by the masses.
If this child is destined
to be a great hero,
please grant him a
name worthy of his future.
He's a hero, just like you said.
He has the blessings of Lord Vishnu,
Lord Shiva and Goddess Adi Shakti.
He's Hari Hara Veeramallu!
Long live Alamgir!
Either the throne...
or the grave.
God gives two choices to
the royal family members.
The one who worships
devoutly becomes king.
The one who questions
goes to the burial ground.
Aurangzeb...
God treats everyone equally.
So...
will you disrespect Khuda by honoringKafirs, who are not of our religion?
Have you already decided
Islam means nothing to you?
Khudas blessings are
not bound by religion.
One reaches God
only through love.
Go then,
Padshahzada-i-Buzurg Martaba!
Dara Sikoh.
This Aurangzeb is releasing
your Sufi soul from your body.
It is His Royal Decree
that, on this occasion,
the gift must be placed
on His Majesty's tablecloth.
My son Aurangzeb has
immense love for his father.
Oh God!
I will place this peacock throne
in that old red fort of Shah Jahan.
I will prove myself worthy
of the name Aurangzeb.
From this day forward,
Aurangzeb shall shine
as the crown jewel
of the Timurid dynasty.
Such is the history I create.
You want the throne?
Or a death warrant?
-Asif, Allah's messenger--
-Silence, Father!
Am I coveting this country
for my personal benefit?
Why did Jalaluddin Muhammad Babur
cross the Khyber Pass and come here?
What are you doing with
his legacy? It's disgraceful!
InshaAllah!
Our sacred flag must fly
proudly over this Hindu nation.
Nature has another
decree, Aurangzeb.
The future shows no mercy to those
who ignore the lessons of the past.
Your madness will
provoke the Kafirs.
One of them will cast you
down from your peacock throne.
He might not even wear a
crown. He could be a commoner.
Some day, he'll
appear before you.
We'll see about that.
If the kafirs have such a
hero in their blood, let him rise.
Let him come.
Sahib...
[in French] Welcome,
Seor Tavernier!
Machilipatnam Bandar, the commercial
capital of South India, is awaiting you.
How are you doing, Kasi Lingam?
Sahib... You're speaking Telugu?
How are your wife and deadlings?
Hope all are doing
great, Kashilingam.
Deadlings?
Sir... You have mixed children
and ritual food for the dead
like a tamarind rice.
This time, two ships worth
of stock is ready for you.
This is Ratnagarbha, Sahib. It'll
yield as much as you can haul.
Look at how theyre looting our nations
wealth and taking it to foreign lands!
It's not that easy.
From now on, forget
jewels and gems,
they wont be able to
take even a handful of dirt!
Do you think he will come?
He will definitely come!
[in French] Diamond!
[speaking Persian]
Sahib...
You have arrived with
your forces. Is it for him?
These are very valuable diamonds.
I won't let him get his hands on them.
Please come.
All yours.
A ruby is fifty-three paisa.
There are a thousand rubies.
You won't find better
ones anywhere in the world.
The measure is a
tola for ten paisa.
Sahib...
That's the same whistle!
-He's here. Get him!
-Let's go!
I kept saying to the Sahib,
"Hope he doesnt come."
But here you are.
Many pray to God for me to come.
But you? Youre hoping I dont.
Your plans won't work this time.
The Sahib has arrived with
his army. And you're all alone.
They may come in herds,
devouring everything in their path...
But one well-placed explosive
is enough to cull that herd!
He came here to finish us. He
won't leave until he's done so!
Oh my god! Big elephant!
Soldiers!
[in Hindi] Catch him.
You wont escape from here!
Let's go! Shut your trap!
Hey!
The diamonds...!
Hey, hey, hey!
Shoot your arrows!
Shoot them now.
That's a Palnadu
sword, Kashilingam.
Lift it with courage.
Out with it.
Here you go.
What about mine?
Should I call you a
thief for stealing it?
Or a master for returning it?
-Seems pretty light.
-Huh?
Did you earn this through
hard work? Or did you buy it?
You just stole it. Thats
more than you deserve.
-These will suffice for that coal.
-Coal?
When did you switch this?
I knew you'd go back on your
word. Thats why I swapped the sack.
-Out with it. Come on!
-My man...
Deceiving you was a mistake.
Here are the gold coins I
promised you. Take them.
Just give me my
stuff, and I'll leave.
What a relief!
You have come to your senses.
-Watch your steps.
-As you say.
Hey! Who are you?
Who the hell are you?
Saira Begum...
Your voice sounds sweet. But
the veil looks dirty. Remove it.
You look like a blanket
draped over a buffalo!
What's the matter?
My name is Venkata Muni
Manikyam. I am a diamond expert.
Seeing your daring
feat at Bandar,
our young Dora asked
me to bring you along.
-Does Young Dora mean a kid?
-Huh? He's an adult!
-An adult? Then ask him to come.
-Yeah. Huh? Here, listen!
Veera, Veera,
Veera! Wait up, man.
Veera, they'll give me
rewards if you come with me.
Dear Sadhus. One moment, please.
He will give you a bag of coins
for this monastery. Please take it.
What do I even have?
Nothing but the turban on my
head and sandals on my feet.
What will you do with such a big
bundle wrapped around your waist?
Please have them.
May you have a good life.
How did this come about?
So, you stole it there to
donate it here, is that it?
-You're a great man!
-Hey!
You can also become great if you
give me what's around your neck.
I beg from beggars.
Leave me alone!
Tell me what the matter is.
The young Dora is calling
you. If you can come...
-When?
-On Sankranti day.
Sankranti?
Alright. Let's go.
Aurangzeb invited us here for
a truce. Why isn't he here yet?
Instead of His
Majesty Aurangzeb,
his envoy, Abu Suleman
will attend the discussions.
I waited so long
just to see him...
but I can't even
see his shadow now.
Alamgir's greetings to the
Maratha, Jat, and Rajput Kings.
Don't you know that kings
discuss only with kings
and not with envoys like you?
Is your Aurangzeb afraid
to face three kings at once?
Let him stay happily
in the Red Fort.
So, what is the reason
for this gathering?
The orders being issued
by His Majesty Aurangzeb...
We are extending an
invitation to the kingdoms
under Mughal rule to
embrace our religion.
Any kingdom that chooses not to convert
shall be required to pay the Jizya tax.
This is a tax that non-Muslim
kings and their people must pay
in order to practice
their own religion.
Agree to the terms and
place your royal seal on these.
Silence!
Must we pay a tax to follow
our own religion, in our own land?
Tell your Aurangzeb.
He and his forefathers
should be paying us
for coming from elsewhere, living
on our land and breathing our air.
Alamgir doesnt accept no, its not
possible, or it cannot be as answers.
Its his custom to kill anyone
who gives such an answer and
send them straight to paradise.
You dare threaten us?
People tell many
tales about the valor
of Rajputs, Jaats, and Marathas,
from China to Parswan, Yavana.
If he truly carries
Mughal valor in his veins,
then let him face
us, sword in hand.
If he does,
I will behead him with his own
sword and place it in his hand!
I'll place it in his hand...
Who are you?
The name is Aurangzeb.
Servant of God.
Emperor of this universe.
An army without its king is
like a serpent without a head.
Change your religion
without groveling!
Accept servitude to
the Mughal throne.
At least your lives
will be spared.
Wazir, ready the troops.
We are marching to Deccan now.
This is my response to any king
who refuses to change his religion
and to any kingdom
that wont pay Jizya!
Blessed be the conqueror!
Blessed be the conqueror!
Blessed be the conqueror!
-Sir! Greetings!
-How many families are there, man?
There are twelve
families in total.
They're from Thurpu Mitta!
Each house gets two bags of
paddy, and two bags of husk.
You may collect them.
How will this last
until next year, sir?
There's not enough grain.
We cant offer even a mouthful
to the dead for their final rites.
Please give us an extra bag.
Hey! You're making undue demands
instead of taking your ration of grains.
Have you forgotten the drought when
you survived on mud and buttermilk?
The family has grown, sir... This
is all we have to feed them all.
What?
Why did the family grow?
Should I feed you just because
you slept with your wife?
Sir?
The worlds better off
when you stay hungry.
How can you say that, Dora?
Please reconsider, Dora.
This isnt sufficient
for all of us for a year.
Okay, lets do one thing.
Lets play the Tiger
and Goat game for fun.
Three tigers will enter the
battlefield on our behalf.
If fifteen of your goats
can bring them down,
Ill give an extra bag
to every household.
What? Isn't that enough?
Ill give you ten extra bags!
Ten bags! Come on, lets play.
-How can we play?
-Ten bags!
Dora, we dont need any extra bags.
Just give us our bags, that's enough.
Youre the ones who decide
everything now? Go and play!
Is one missing from the count?
-Hey! Will you play?
-Hes just a kid.
You stay quiet. You
tell me. Will you play?
-Yes, I will.
-You shut up.
-[both] Well play, Dora.
-Go on.
Panchami!
Panchami! Panchami!
Dora is holding a
tiger and goat match
between the farmers and
the wrestling champions.
Dorasani is calling you.
Their poverty is these
peoples entertainment.
Their hunger has
become a spectacle.
-Tell her, I wont come.
-I won't come, I won't come.
I won't come, I won't come.
Cover that side!
Dad!
-Hey!
-Finish him off.
Bravo!
Theyre the ones
who work the fields.
Our Dora feeds everyone
here. Our mighty Dora.
Dad, the grains are spilling!
-Wait a minute, dear.
-Dad!
Give that over here.
Oh no! What's this?
It's my beloved
muthyala chandravanka.
It's okay!
Why don't you use yours to tie?
-Isn't this your estate?
-Oh!
-Logic!
-Let's go.
-Whats your name?
-Sri Mahalakshmi.
Lakshmi, assume you've given
your muthyala chandravanka
-to Mahalakshmi.
-As you say.
Oh no!
Thats the tigers grab.
Tiger and Goat!
Our Dora's fun time
Oh no!
-Well done!
-Oh no!
This doesnt feel like a game.
Everything is just a
game for our Dora.
-You, come here.
-Mr. Muni Manikyam?
Fine, keep watching. Ill
go inform Kotappa Dora.
You guys join the game.
We cant play, Dora.
-Please give us our bags.
-Hey!
Stop the supplies.
Hey! Stop. Put the bags down.
Everyone, listen carefully!
Only the winner gets the grain.
Not just one or two bags.
Whoever defeats my tigers...
Gets all the bags here!
-[together] We cant play, Dora!
-Go on, play!
Can I play?
-Who are you, man?
-It's me!
Is he on your side?
Yeah, Im on their side.
You said youd give all the
bags to the winner, right?
Im on the peoples
side. Ill play.
How dare you look our Dora
in the eye? Lower your eyes!
-Dora, I brought Veeramallu...
-Is that him?
He says hell play.
-Go challenge them!
-Sir!
-Sir, please, just let us go.
-That wont work.
You must play with him.
Why are you backing off
when I'm with you? Come on!
Lets crush the tigers paw!
They wont come.
Looks like these
goats are scared.
They dont want to come.
Its okay. Ill play alone.
Ill play alone.
Will you face
three tigers alone?
Three tigers mean nothing to me.
Send all of your tigers.
Ill take them all down at once!
Can you defeat all 15 tigers?
Theyll finish you off.
Until now, youve seen
tigers devouring goats.
Now youll see a savage
tiger hunt other tigers!
Panchami! Come fast!
The warrior is here!
The warrior is here!
The warrior is here!
I want to sacrifice his flesh at
the Mukkala festival tomorrow!
He rose like a
storm on ocean tides
Like a desert sun He
scorched their pride
When they ran
wild, a lion roared
Behold! It is death
That stands before you
In oceans depths,
in deserts blaze
Run as you may
Hes the wall youll face
-Who could it be?
-I have no idea.
Thats a tiger punch!
He escaped.
Dora! Dora!
-Yeah?
-That's Veeramallu!
Veeramallu.
He broke their
pride, rewrote the tale
Like a pounding
hammer, fierce and hot
Thats the Telugu man Who
slapped his thigh and made us proud
Bravo!
Panchami!
Panchami!
Wait!
He broke their
pride, rewrote the tale
Like a pounding
hammer, fierce and hot
Thats the Telugu man Who
slapped his thigh and made us proud
Its 60,000 bags of
grain. Go! Take them!
The harvest doesnt belong
to the winner of the game.
It belongs to the
farmers who cultivate it.
-Distribute it among my people.
-And what about you?
Me?
Tell me, what do you want?
I want to look Dora in the eye.
-You may look.
-Not just me.
Then?
I want all my people to look.
They must learn that the ruler
has a head, not just feet to bow over.
Hey, everyone, get up!
Savage tiger!
Veera the savage tiger!
O butter thief Let
your eyes find in me
The longing
that stirs within
O butter thief Let
your eyes find in me
The longing
that stirs within
O butter thief Let
your eyes find in me
The longing
that stirs within
O butter thief Let
your eyes find in me
The longing
that stirs within
Gentle as mercy His
smile lights up the dark
Savior of the world Entranced
by his flutes sweet call
Hey! You've seen enough. Come.
The one who wears forest as
garlands The son of Vasudeva
The enchanting one
Who's Radhas beloved
Stop! Ive been watching from
the start, you're behaving indecently.
I'm synonymous with proper behavior.
Why target me, Mr. Muni Manikyam?
Wow, what a performance! You
think I didnt see you staring at her?
-Me? Stare at her?
-Yes! You! You were staring at her!
You were blatantly staring!
-Blatantly staring?
-Yeah.
-Did you watch the whole thing? Okay...
-Yes!
Who stared first, me or her?
Me or her? Me or her? Me
or her? Was it me? Me? Me?
It was her.
The enchanting one
Who's Radhas beloved
So what?
She is like a Gold-dusted doll,
all dressed up, staring straight at
me... What do you expect me to do?
You dont have to do anything.
Just relax in the guest room.
I want to know what those
eyes are trying to tell me.
No need to know!
Ive to meet her to find out.
No need to meet her!
Looks like you're trying to get my
head hung at the bungalow gate.
This can't go on. You
should be locked in the room.
Panchami! The warrior is here.
[humming "Vanamali Vasudeva"]
-You like me.
-What do you mean?
If you didnt like me, what
was that long stare about?
How long?
As long as one looks
at the one they like.
Did you like me?
Panchami!
Panchami!
Panchami!
Go! Just go!
I'll leave if you
say you like me.
I dont like you.
Fine I'll stay right here.
And we'll be caught.
I beg you! Please leave!
-Please leave.
-Panchami!
Oh no! Just go, man!
Panchami!
I've been calling your
name. What were you doing?
-I was talking to the parrot.
-Hey!
Don't try these tricks with me!
I havent touched you
because I want to marry you.
No matter where I am,
you must stay beside me.
Be prepared.
Ill explain it to her. You go.
-Explain!
-I will!
Panchami...
Escape if you
can. If not, adapt.
Theres no other way.
I thought you were
his sister or daughter...
Never imagined this.
Let me ask you
since you like me.
Why are you staying
in a place you dislike?
I'm an orphan!
I was raised by concubines.
When he saw me
dance in the temple,
he paid those who
raised me and bought me.
I can't adapt here.
Can you help me?
Will you help me escape?
Will you take me away from Dora?
Ill take you away.
Son, in the mines on
the banks of Krishna...
the hard work is ours.
The control is ours.
Yet Qutb Shah reaps the fruit.
Only the small
diamonds belong to Dora.
If it weighs more
than ten raatis,
Dora has to personally take it
and hand it over at Golconda.
It's like a postman's
job. Isn't it unfair?
A processions marching to Golconda
to hand over the diamonds to the Sultan.
You must steal them on the way
and hand it to our
man at Surat port.
Ill grab it before
you can hand it off.
No one will know
your hand stole it.
Exactly! You've grasped it!
Twelve diamonds in total!
Twelve diamonds?
How did you find out?
Sir, I didnt tell him.
Does someone have to tell
Veeramallu about the diamonds?
Your payment for robbing is...
One diamond!
Whats so funny?
I might be taking the
diamonds from you...
but I'll be stealing
the Sultans treasure!
I thought you were fearless?
But not brainless!
Two? Do you know the
value of those diamonds?
Im asking because
I know their worth.
Just one diamond could
sustain all of you for five years.
No one would go hungry
or be without clothes.
What I heard is true, then.
There are thieves who
steal for themselves.
But you? You steal
to give to others.
-Fine! Take two...
-Two?
Do you know what else they
call monsters in human form?
Qutb Shahi's army!
Its not...
as simple as you think.
Would I accept if
it were so simple?
Its dangerous!
I only take
challenging jobs, Dora.
Come one, come all!
Play the game and
win double the money.
Come one, come all!
Dont miss out on your chance!
Two becomes four.
Four becomes eight.
Eight becomes sixteen.
Come one, come all!
-Mine is on the moon.
-Lord!
You are the only hope for
them all, Lord. Harom Hara!
Hey! I won! I won!
-He is the lucky one.
-Give it to me! It's mine!
All your money is gone!
Give me. Give me.
You've won double
the money. Celebrate!
-Come one, come all!
-Beat these two guys first!
These two are partners!
They are one and the same.
-They are stealing all our money.
-Hey, what are you talking about?
He looks like a fort guard.
How can he be my man?
Hey! He looks like a
porter inside the fort.
-How can he be my man?
-Hey! You filthy-faced wretch.
-How dare you call me that?
-Hey! You dent-faced fool.
-I'll kill you if you say another word!
-How dare you grab my shirt?
You unnecessarily started
a fight between these two.
It looks like they'll
fight to the death.
Hey, go your own separate ways!
Did you think I'd
keep playing with him?
Go! Go away!
Why are you looking at my face?
Go. You have lost your coins. Right?
Come back here tomorrow
with plenty of coins!
A talisman!
-Abbanna...
-Yes?
Someone gave us a
talisman wishing us well.
This doesn't look
like a talisman.
Life isnt a game of deceit and flight.
Ill teach you how to truly move forward.
Meet me at the border of
Palnaadu. From Veeramallu.
[both] Let's meet then.
Visanna's favorite place
Eating jail food--
Oh no!
Oh, cunning Vissanna, who
defeats enemies with strategies.
I need your brilliant brain. Let's
meet at the border of Palnaadu.
Veeramallu?
[in unison] Babuk!
You all saw, didn't you?
Babuk, the Persian warrior!
The defeater of many!
If there's anyone brave enough
here, please step forward.
There he is!
The Pathan from Balochistan.
He is as strong as Hanuman.
He's the Bhima of every arena!
Why the delay? Place
your bets and win money!
You'll only get
money if you get hit.
Its not about defeat in the
arena. Set your sights on victory.
Meet me at the borders of
Palnaadu. From Veeramallu.
You are our Verri
Vissanna Uncle, aren't you?
That's the same nose. Uncle!
If you're calling
me Verri Vissanna...
then you must be Verri
Vengalappa's nephews, right?
-Abbanna and Subbanna!
-No. Subbanna and Abbanna.
If youre causing this much chaos,
you are undoubtedly my nephews!
Abbanna, Subbanna, Subbanna...
Who is this flagpole here?
Veeramallu must have
invited him just like he called us.
Oh! Where is Veeramallu?
-All these are for you.
-Really?
Have a seat.
Vissanna, your taste buds must be
dead after eating bland prison food, right?
That's why I have
some fish curry for you.
Look here, there's
tasty prawn fry.
Eat.
Baluchi!
You look tired from
taking punches for money.
That's why I brought
you some country chicken.
Savor every bite.
Abbanna and Subbanna...
Here's some mutton,
specially made for you.
Tell us, brother.
What's the work?
It's very dangerous!
Got it!
Like Lord Rama had a
monkey army, you need us.
-Isn't it?
-Exactly.
It's a two-night journey.
The battalion will
reach Saroornagar.
That's the right time.
Along with the diamonds,
we must take that girl too.
What's the girl's name?
Panchami.
So, Panchami must be
freed on Dashami day.
But, will Dora stay quiet if we take
the girl after giving him the diamonds?
Who said we'll
return the diamonds?
Our deal was only to steal.
[in Urdu] May peace be
upon you. Please come.
Go with them, dear.
Has he come?
Why doubt? He
must be here already.
For the wheel to spin swiftly
You need to apply lubricant
For the task to happen
correctly The wheel must spin
Hey!
-[in Hindi] What is this?
-This is a large metal pot.
There's lubricant in it.
If you apply it to the
axle, the wheel will turn.
Can't you say it
properly in Telugu?
[in Telugu] Yes. Yes.
We can say it in Telugu.
Apply it.
For the wheel to spin swiftly
You need to apply lubricant
For the task to happen
correctly The wheel must spin
Right here, you have
a private bathing room.
We even have a special
bathing paste ready for you.
The one who wears forest as
garlands The son of Vasudeva
The enchanting one
Who's Radhas beloved
Let's go. Take me away!
Panchami...
Do you know who I am?
I am Veeramallu.
Now tell me.
Should I help you escape?
Or take you with me?
Dora and everyone saw
me only as a concubine.
You're the only one
who saw me as a girl.
It's my fortune
that the one I like
is also brave enough
to free me from Dora.
Please take me away.
Watch me bring Veeramallu
to you. Right here!
Good evening, Dora. Good
evening, Munimanikyam.
I've brought dice with me.
-These?
-They are yours.
-I brought them as a memento.
-The dice are fine.
When did you say youd
strike? When did you show up?
They're not claps
to strike whenever!
How many soldiers did you
say? How many are there?
We expected a hundred men.
-Another hundred have joined.
-Yeah.
To take two things
without 200 people noticing
shouldn't I wait for
the right moment?
-Two things? What are they?
-One is the diamonds.
-The second? What's the second one?
-The second one is Dora's...
-Blessings.
-You'll always have it.
That's enough, Dora.
That's all I wanted to hear.
-You may leave. Go. Go.
-I will. I'll fix the curtain and go.
-What?
-The waist is as sharp as a knife.
What?
Looks like theres
a knife at the waist.
Yes. It's my favorite knife.
It's very difficult not
to lay hands on it.
You stop talking about waists and
knives and tell me about the looting!
At the second
watch of the night.
I'll take them away.
We don't know
how you will do it,
but they should vanish by
the second watch of the night!
They will.
Then our Dora will
innocently step out...
and pretend to be
suffering in front of everyone.
-He will live in the moment.
-I didn't get it.
Munimanikyam, you
understood, didn't you?
-Won't you explain it to him?
-If you say so.
Dora... your knife! Wow!
The enchanting one
Who's Radhas beloved
Five-colored parrot, prediction parrot!
Our favorite parrot, the zodiac expert!
Hey, parrot! Tell me
this pretty lady's name.
Jalaja. Jalaja.
Jalaja? Your parrot is wrong.
My name is Vanaja.
My truthful, fragrant parrot! How
did you even lie, oh caged parrot?
Jalaja is my name.
-How close it was, the crazy parrot!
-Indeed!
Oh my!
He is so handsome, isn't he?
Among all these men, hes the
only one who looks like a real man.
-Come, let's get a hold of him.
-Let's go.
-Hey! Come here.
-Come on.
Boy, Im old enough
to get married.
Will you marry me?
-Will you marry me?
-Hands off.
I've already found my bride.
Is she prettier than us?
Is she?
With sharp, pointed whiskers
With cub-like, bold steps
With mischievous glances With
manliness blazing like a furnace
He came swiftly He
is like a thunderbolt
He thought of something
He searched for someone
Who is it, who is it?
Who is it, who is it?
Who is it, who is it?
Who is it, who is it?
She's a silver
doll of Kondapalli
She glanced at me
with her sharp eyes
A doll made of sweet honey
She drew the
sweet curtains aside
She has the
glitter of diamonds
She has the radiance of gems
Her curves are like rubies
She sparkles like gold coins
She created a fire
Within my golden heart
She increased the heat
And melted my heart
She looted it
She plundered it
Looting my heart
She tied it into a bundle
She looted it
She plundered it
She tied it into a bundle
She tied it into a bundle
Oh dear, Oh dear
Oh! What else did
that young girl do?
Oh dear, Oh dear
Oh! What spell Did
that young girl cast?
The kohl-like
cloud in her eyes
Sprinkled darkness upon me
With just her words
She twisted my heart
She hid her secret
A woman's heart
is like a forest
Are you a child who doesn't
know this? Are you that innocent?
A young girl's nature is hard to
grasp Don't you already know that?
Are you dry like a ginger
root? Are you soft like butter?
Getting hold of this Proud
man with a moustache
And making him a child
By applying some concoction
She looted it
She plundered it
Looting my heart
She tied it into a bundle
She looted it
She plundered it
She tied it into a bundle
She tied it into a bundle
The misty winds
in her breath
Scattered
letters of her love
The valor that
swells like a tide
It shackled her beauty
You stole the heart of the one
Who had no worries or cares
You drove the cautious
Young man crazy
Whatever the path
Whatever the distance
I will remain as your shadow
Whatever the name
Whatever the manner
I will call you my husband
She looted it
She plundered it
Looting my heart
She tied it into a bundle
She looted it
She plundered it
She tied it into a bundle
She tied it into a bundle
Wow!
Go ahead, enjoy your meal.
Bravo!
-Stay outside for a while.
-[both] Okay.
[in Hindi] Attention!
What happened?
-The diamonds are in danger.
-Danger?
You know about the theft at
the Machilipatnam port, right?
That jewel thief
is roaming around.
That's why, additional
forces have been deployed.
Who is that foreigner?
He is Benjamin Morris,
the Sultan's Dutch warrior.
He sent a message
with his commander.
Morris is waiting near
Charminar with his army.
Everyone, prepare
for the journey!
Dora...
The guards doubled again!
Where is Veeramallu?
Get in!
-Uncle, guns.
-We stole them.
Bravo! Only these are left!
A battalion that goes
into Bhagyanagara,
is like a crocodile
that enters a pond, son.
-We cannot endure it!
-You cannot endure it.
Whether it's a pond crocodile, or
a forest beast, it must be defeated.
[both] Uncle!
Weve reached Charminar.
Why isnt Veeramallu here yet?
There he is!
Faster!
Go!
Hey!
Where could he be?
Could he have run away?
Dora, I am here.
Here are the diamonds.
Diamonds!
Hey! Why are you here?
I'm tired, Dora. I'm tired!
Hey, hey, hey! We
shouldnt be seen together.
-We shouldn't?
-We shouldn't! Do something about it!
-Anything?
-Yes! Anything!
Dora! Oh god!
Dora! He ran off with both
the girl and the diamonds!
We're doomed.
He stole the Sultans
diamonds. Kill him!
Veera!
Hey!
Hey!
Veera!
Youre the first to lay hands
on the Qutub Shahi treasure...
and live to tell the tale!
Veeramallu?
How many times have you
looted Golcondas treasure so far?
I havent kept count.
I heard you looted
our treasure...
and gave it to the people?
It actually belongs to
the people, doesn't it?
You should be hanged
for what you did.
But do you know why
we brought you here alive?
This...
is the rare diamond
that saved your life.
It's like the legendary
Shamanthakamani.
A light as bright as a mountain.
Weighing at 180 rattis...
It's the Koh-i-Noor!
Isnt it a glass stone, Sultan?
Its clear that
its a duplicate.
Where is the real diamond?
Back in Prataparudras time,
when Golconda was "Golla Konda,"
this Kolluru diamond ended
up in Alauddin Khilji's hands.
From there, it passed
to Ibrahim Lodi,
and from there to the Mughal
Sultan, Zahir ud-Din Muhammad Babur.
After that, there was
no trace of it for decades.
And now, its surfaced
in Shahjahanbad, Delhi.
If you fulfill Tana Shah's desire,
you'll never have to rob again!
Hell gift you a diamond mine.
Hell make you the
Dora of that parganah.
Whatever treasure you
find in that mine will be yours.
Whether you distribute
it or keep it... is up to you.
So, you want this
returned to Golconda.
Am I right?
Where is this diamond now?
At Qila-e-Mubarak! Lal Qila!
At the Mughal
Darbar in Red Fort...
In the middle of Diwan-i-Khas!
While building the Taj Mahal for
Mumtaz Begum, the Emperor Shah Jahan
spent four times that amount to
craft a Peacock Throne for himself.
Crowned upon the
head of the king of kings,
glowing like sunlight born
of earths deepest core,
held close by the legendary
Timur Ruby, is the Koh-i-Noor.
Its our Kolluru diamond,
right? Well bring it back.
It's not so simple!
Do you know who is sitting
on that throne right now?
It's Badshah Ghazi!
Shahenshah-e-Sultanat!
Muzaffar Muhi-ud-Din
Muhammad Aurangzeb Alamgir!
You must retrieve that
diamond from Alamgirs throne.
Youre offering me a diamond
mine for just one diamond...
I understand its value.
This isnt about the value,
its about our self-respect!
Trying to restore Golcondas
honor and reclaim the Koh-i-Noor,
seven trained warriors
have laid down their lives.
Seven trained warriors?
Instead of sacrificing
me at Red Fort...
Why cant you hang
me in Golla Konda?
Ill die in the
place I was born.
Theres only one
Koh-i-Noor on this earth.
To bring it home, we need a weapon
of destiny, like Lord Ramas arrow.
We believe that it's you.
Youre the one who
mastered all 64 traditional arts.
You walked away from Charminar
only because it wouldn't fit in your sack.
Or else youd have
claimed it by now...
Gulfam Khan! My
quickest soldier!
He has been monitoring Shah
Jahanabad closely for the past three years.
He knows every
inch of the Red Fort.
Veera!
Alamgir will kill you if youre
caught stealing the Koh-i-Noor.
Well kill you if you come
back without the Koh-i-Noor.
If you try to run away
with the Koh-i-Noor...
Portuguese war
hero, our Alphonsa...
He cant even touch
the verge of my garment!
Pardon me, Tana Shah!
Every year, you send
turmeric-soaked rice
to our Lord
Bhadrachalam Sita Rama.
Thats why I respect
you. I will bring it back.
You said its Golla
Kondas pride, right?
I will bring it
back to restore it.
Its the Kolluru diamond
found in the Krishna River basin.
It belongs to our soil.
I'll bring it home.
[heroic hymn]
-Peace be upon you!
-And peace be upon you, too.
Who are all these people?
He's Abdullah! The
Nawabs most trusted man.
Hes coming with us.
I dont need muscle,
I need wisdom.
-What do you mean?
-I want my team!
This one's for you, Abbanna.
We grew so close to
Veera in just a few days.
I never thought hed
leave just as quickly.
Veera, I pray to God that at least in
the next life, we get to share a drink.
May this bring
peace to your soul.
I'm not afraid of the
demon on the tree!
I'm not afraid of the
demon on the tree!
Idiot! I'm alive.
Veera.
-Youre not hurt, are you?
-No.
Who are they?
Those idiots work for Qutb Shah.
Qutb Shahs men?
So, you sacrificed us
for your own survival?
Look, see how he's staring! He
will kill me with numerous stabs.
-Youre going to sacrifice us?
-Hear me out.
-Im talking. Why are you hitting me?
-Listen, you fool!
Hey, fix me a drink first!
We must go to Delhi.
-Ill explain why later.
-I will not come!
Leave me. Hey, Veera!
I ended up in jail
because of you.
Going to Delhi with you would
mean Ill lose my head for sure!
-I'm not coming.
-Hey, stop it!
Veera, we're alive,
and our families are
safe, all because of you.
-We trust you, and its your call.
-Hey...
You said you wanted wisdom...
They seem like they lack wisdom.
Oh, I didnt know wisdom
required being tall and built!
Such a moron. Listen
here, you numbskull...
What good is a mans size or power
if he cant stand by his own family?
We'll handle the
task youve given me.
If not, tell Quli Qutub
Shah to handle it himself.
These are the approval
papers we need to stay in Delhi.
What's this? It's written in
Arabic, I can't understand it.
Very well! Where do we begin?
Through Burhanpur,
Bundelkhand, Gwalior, and Delhi.
[in Urdu] Your Honor!
The eighth man has
started from Golconda.
He must not reach Delhi alive.
Theyre two
mountains ahead of us.
We have to catch up to them.
March!
Hey, Gulfam!
Its not safe to go any further.
We should take a
roundabout path.
Why?
The birds are fleeing.
The lake is still and calm.
A threat is imminent.
Come, we shall
take a different path.
Taking the path you're suggesting
will add an extra 20 miles to our journey.
We won't reach Delhi
at the expected time.
We'll never reach Delhi if
we continue on this road!
We shall see!
We're in your hands
now, Devudu. Forward!
Oh, no!
Damn those diamonds of yours!
Oh no!
If I fall now, therell
be nothing left to find.
Right?
Where did they go?
Hey guys! Why
did you stop there?
You rushed in like a young man.
Learn from my Uncle.
How to keep your mouth
shut when you're old.
[in Hindi] Gulfam,
are you alright?
Gulfam!
History remembers
more who perished
by ignoring the caution
than those who heeded it.
Dimwit!
We must listen.
We must listen to Veeramallu.
Must listen.
Hey!
[in Hindi] Stop that noise.
Enough of your
performance. Eat this.
Abdul! Roast it properly.
Properly!
Why are you staring, Gulfam?
Do you mean to threaten me?
Are you angry?
I have seen many like you.
Munimanikyam, please tell him
not to underestimate me.
That idiot wont
stop staring at me.
Abbanna, Subbanna.
Start the beat!
You must listen, oh
lad You must listen
Listen to all wise words
Not every word is right
Dont be hasty with speech
In your mind,
hold a little restraint
You must listen, oh
lad You must listen
Listen to all wise words
This thatch-roof isnt a home
That palm tree isnt a shelter
This thatch-roof isnt a home
That palm tree isnt a shelter
A man you meet is not your husband
No quarrel is worth its weight in gold
Thats why
You must listen, oh
lad You must listen
Listen to all wise words
In a forest without leaves
Oh dear, goats
may graze even there
On a cliff with no edge
A mountain may tumble down
If words cross the line
If you dont
grasp the meaning
If words cross the line If
you dont grasp the meaning
If arrogance bumps wisdom
Its like crashing into a mountain
Thats why
You must listen, oh
lad You must listen
Listen to all wise words
You must listen, oh
lad You must listen
Listen to all wise words
Stop this!
Whats your deal, man?
Wild animals roam here.
-I shall keep watch until the first hour.
-Oh?
Alphonsa will watch
over the rest of the night.
Theyve got these morons
standing guard tonight.
We leave early in the
morning. Everyone sleep now!
Hey! Why are you
aiming the gun at me?
Maybe because I am ahead of
you all in heroism and bravery...
Damn you all!
So, you were going
to kill me in my sleep?
Munimanikyam isn't
afraid of these weapons!
Ill place my life on
a platter and fling it!
Mind your actions!
-Oh dear! Veera!
-It's here.
Good Lord! What are
those vile creatures?
Shall I fetch you a platter?
Be quiet!
Have you looked at
the size of those teeth?
Be careful, Veera!
Why did you stop me from shooting?
It was right in front of my gun!
It's not fair to invade its
territory and take its life.
-Get lost!
-Veera.
Veera.
What magic did you do
with your eyes? They just left.
I spoke to it.
-You spoke? What did you say?
-Yes.
It asked me why I
was in its territory.
I said that because you are much
better than those animals out there.
Then it laughed.
-It laughed?
-Yes. It laughed loudly.
Then it asked me who
these dirty people are.
-You mean us?
-Yes.
I said that they are my friends.
It came a little closer and said,
"Look, Veera, you seem innocent."
Really? "Be careful
with these nasty people."
Then I laughed loudly.
So, you laughed too?
-You didnt catch that?
-I felt it clearly.
-It asked me again.
-Again?
It asked me politely,
"These nasty and dirty people
seem to be full of fat. May I eat them?"
Then I said, "You just called them nasty
and dirty. They'll upset your stomach."
It said, "You're right, Veera."
Then, we both laughed loudly.
Well said!
-You and the beast?
-Yes. Why?
-Didn't it feel like it?
-It definitely did.
I advised it to return home
safely, as it was already quite late.
It gave me a long stare,
and two kisses before leaving.
-Kisses?
-Yes.
You spoke so much
in so little time, huh?
-Why not? Isnt it possible?
-It is.
Hey! Gulfam. Stay.
Except for humans, no other animals
in nature seek violence by choice.
They only kill out
of hunger or fear.
They won't kill
needlessly like you or him.
Get lost.
I looked into its eyes and
said, "We won't harm you."
It believed me and left.
Long ago, there was a man who
could speak to animals with a look.
That was Prophet Suleman.
Saint Francis of Assisi once saved a
village in Italy from a pack of wolves
simply by speaking to
them through their eyes.
How does he know these tricks?
Where did he learn them?
Veera!
-Who does this belong to?
-A girl was here two days ago.
She was very beautiful,
just like the moon.
-This might belong to her.
-W... Where did she go?
I think she went
towards Reva Bazaar.
-Reva Bazaar?
-Yes.
People sell stolen goods
there. It's a thieves' den!
-Everyone there is a thief.
-Oh, no. Thieves?
Yes.
These poor people seem
to be scared of thieves.
Give it.
That poor girl might
get caught over there.
Why don't you help her?
We don't have to help her,
we'll have to help her victims!
-Yes!
-Come on!
-Diamond.
-Where?
Over there.
Thats one rare diamond!
-What price should we quote for it?
-Price?
We can even offer our lives.
For her diamond-like
beauty, or her elegance?
-Hey!
-Majestic!
[both] So majestic!
As you walk by The whole
market turns into a commotion
Please don't give those angry
glances Like a cannon about to fire
What is it you seek, girl? You
shimmer like heat on desert sand
Quote us a price, dear girl
Silver coins or gold coins?
Starry, starry my eyes shine
Moonlight blossoms on my skin
Is there anyone who
can afford The sky I carry?
Starry, starry my eyes shine
Moonlight blossoms on my skin
Is there anyone who
can afford The sky I carry?
When my sweat falls They
hail it as a diamonds glint
If I stand close to them
They get rattled in fear
Sharper than arrows and
blades Is the curve of my waist
Even with armor on their hearts
They wont escape the wounds
To kiss my lips, they offer
kingdoms For my navel, four cities!
These Nawabs claim
Theyd sacrifice everything!
Starry, starry my eyes shine
Moonlight blossoms on my skin
Is there anyone who
can afford The sky I carry?
Theres a trap in her gaze
Theres fire beneath her lips
Her graceful treasures
tempt Without needing words
Wild desires rise, one by
one Youth burns like dry wood
The spark is intense
And it bursts into flames
Its not just eyes and skin,
honey Its the emotion called love
Who can buy it
with a price tag?
This isnt a passing wish,
honey This glow of a maiden
Only those who know
worth Can see its value!
Its not just eyes and skin,
honey Its the emotion called love
Who can buy it
with a price tag?
This isnt a passing wish,
honey This glow of a maiden
Only those who know
worth Can see its value!
Bravo. What's all this
drama, you sly devil?
Hey!
What?
You handed me over to the Nawab
and youre out here
dancing like its no big deal?
That's right, Veera.
-Ask her, Veera.
-Hey, you shut it!
Hey, the least you can
do now is tell me the truth.
-Visanna.
-Veera.
-What is the punishment in this case?
-We stitch their mouth.
We tie them up in a dark room.
No! No! I will
tell you the truth.
I needed money to save
other courtesans like me.
I wanted to steal these diamonds
and use the sale proceeds
to buy their freedom.
That's why I pretended
to fall in love with you.
Oh my...
So, thats the way it is.
Pretended to...
fall in love. Huh?
Pretended.
Alright.
Let's go.
Where?
What?
Where to?
Shut your mouth
and come with me.
-Come.
-Why are we taking this...
deceiver with us?
I've fallen in
love with his girl.
Keep walking.
Hold on, Devudu.
What is it, my boy?
You need water?
Come.
Take it.
-Hey!
-Oh, no!
[in unison] It's water!
I'll give you, children.
I will give you all.
No pushing, please. I
will give it one by one.
Wait. Don't fight.
Why don't you listen
to me? We may spill it.
Oh no!
Didn't I tell you?
We'll spill the water?
I did tell you. Didn't I?
-Why did you--
-Please wait.
It's alright. Come.
Don't cry.
Come, son.
I'm sorry.
Please forgive me.
Are you new to this area?
Northern India has never seen
a famine like this in a century.
Vissanna.
-Everyone, open those bags.
-Open. Open!
Have these too.
Have it.
Take it.
-Kiddo! Eat this.
-This one's for you.
-Please eat.
-I'll take leave.
Eat.
[in Hindi] Brother.
-Yes, dear.
-Due to a lack of rains,
we had no harvest this year.
Nobody is bothered about us.
I don't know where
you came from.
You gave us water.
You fed us and
freed us from hunger.
I will pray to Lord Allah that
you reap success in
whatever you are seeking.
Your prayers will
not go to waste.
Have faith.
-What's going on there?
-A big ritual.
A ritual for the rain god.
[reciting a Sanskrit sloka]
Praying for this barren land, scorched
by drought to be filled with greenery.
Theyre performing a sacred
ritual, to appease Lord Shiva
he who bears Goddess
Ganga upon his head.
Your Honor! We
couldn't find them.
No matter where they hide,
I won't spare them
You kafirs!
This is the Mughal Empire!
You can't have these rituals here.
Usman Khan!
If hes come all the way from the
Deccan, he must be here for us.
We shouldn't stay here
for a minute longer. Come!
Hey! Wait for a minute.
Abbanna.
A wild elephant full of pride
Shaking the ground as it runs
The goad is sharp, the leaders
smart Only the brave can win the part
This wildfire won't stop.
They will burn into ashes
along with the forest.
Come! We're leaving!
Come, while the demons
gather Like storm clouds
Come hurl your rage Like
thunder through the sky!
You started a blaze to stop the
Mughal soldiers from disrupting the ritual.
And now, that same
fire may claim our lives--
Who is he? Who could he
be? Hes a riddle in plain sight
This should bring the famine-stricken
villagers some joy now, right?
A warrior who slips through the world
Untouched by even the suns glance
A warrior who dares steal
the moon And carry it with pride
To rain, theres no such
thing as caste or creed.
It treats all living
beings equally.
A thief who shared every
single penny For others' sake
Hari Hara Veeramallu
Hari Hara Veeramallu
One man like him Is
all it takes to turn the tide
You protected not
only the sacred ritual...
but our faith in God.
This isnt mere rain.
It's the Ganga Abhishekam, poured
upon you by Lord Shiva himself.
Whatever your mission
is, may it succeed.
May you be victorious.
Wait, Veera!
Who are you?
-He is--
-Hey!
Why are you asking
again? Don't you know?
Hes just a common thief.
Common thief?
How would a common
thief know that it would rain?
Would a sage salute him?
Would he speak about
such philosophical ideas?
You have saved
us on the mountain.
You saved those
animals in the forest.
Who are you?
Why did you take Veera to Dora?
Because he stole the diamonds
from Tavernier in Machilipatnam.
You think you tricked Veera
by pretending to love him, right?
Yes.
He came to Dora's notice when he
stole the diamonds in Machilipatnam.
He struck a deal with Dora and
deliberately surrendered to the Nawab.
All this time, we believed we
were the ones taking you to Delhi.
But you are making
us follow your lead.
Even though your words
and actions are different,
we won't believe
that you are a thief.
Tell us who you are!
Tell us!
That is a sacred offering,
you will lose your eyesight!
-Please stop, sir.
-Don't do this.
I beg you, sir!
Did you see this?
Leaving you in such chaos,
why didn't your gods
come to save you?
Youll be damned to hell!
Do you still have
faith in this clay idol?
Change your God.
Or change your religion.
Alamgir's blessings will shower
upon you. Shower of blessings.
You took what you wanted.
-Please leave this place.
-Please leave.
These people won't
heed our orders.
-Break this stone into pieces!
-That is not a mere rock.
It's our deity.
The symbol of our faith.
Ill shatter your faith
right before your eyes!
Break it into pieces!
Face as the enemies
rush in with fury
Spare me!
Didn't you want to find out if
Ammavaru would come to our rescue?
Spare me!
This is how she arrives.
Please forgive us.
March in! As the
enemies rush in with fury
March in! Let
their heads roll!
Unbelievable!
Five dead with a single strike?
And only one man.
You are lying!
When I close my eyes,
I still see his radiant rage!
Even now,
my heart trembles
in fear of what I saw.
A person like him...
I have...
never...
-seen before.
-Maulana saab
is telling the truth, King.
That revolutionary
is known as Veera.
Behind his courage
lies an unknown strength.
Do you know who
that strength is?
Geography, architecture,
and sculpture,
archaeology, and
astronomy sciences...
These disciplines stem from the
wisdom of the Gurukuls five sages.
We are trying to destroy
their Vedas and Shastras.
But those five sages
have absorbed them into
every cell of their being.
Those five living and breathingVedas and Sastras experts
have become a shield
against our efforts
to wipe out their
religion and way of life.
And one of the warriors is...
Veera.
Veera will come to the
defense of any temple we attack.
So, the Hindu society
has finally awakened.
Veera is a small sword...
challenging our stone fortress.
If we don't hack the
hand that held the sword,
many other daggers, swords
and shields will rise against us.
If the people stop
fearing us, were finished.
And that is simply unacceptable!
[chanting in unison] The
teacher of the entire world,
the doctor of all the diseases,
the storehouse of all knowledge,
we salute you, Lord Dakshinamurthy.
Get up, get up.
Come with me quietly.
-Be quick. Come.
-Get up.
Get up, everyone.
Quick. We need to
leave immediately.
Get up fast!
-Come.
-Open the underground chamber.
Keep going.
Fast!
Take this.
-Give it over here.
-Careful.
-Dear! Dear!
-Wait. Listen to me.
They'll join us. Come.
Your Honor! There
is no one here.
Find them, wherever they are.
Shatter this
sculpture into pieces.
You may break it now
but we'll make them again.
Dear!
Ill drag you all from here and
lay your lives at Alamgirs feet.
[in unison] Death
sentence! Death sentence!
Praise be to God!
Death draws near.
You're bleeding out.
But not a drop of
sweat on his face.
The faithful bow their
heads, praying for deliverance.
We don't fear death.
Kill us!
As long as this faith endures,
the destiny of Bharata's
kingdom shall remain unaltered.
Today, that faith
will end with you.
As long as Veera lives, our
arts and sciences will live on.
THE CULTURE WE INHERITED MUSBE PASSED TO THE NEXT GENERATION.
Veera! So, he is the
keeper of your faith.
Then, it is unfair to kill you.
Announce that the spiritual
leaders are in our custody.
We shall see if Veera
dares to come and save him.
Rivers flowing towards the
ocean... that is natures way.
But when the ocean
rises to meet a river...
Thats a sign of calamity.
Right before the
Mahalaya new moon day,
such a calamity is
rushing towards you.
Remember its name.
Veera!
God willing...
Aurangzeb will
be waiting for it.
Once I crush him...
my sword will
return to your throat.
I've promised everyone back home
that I'll protect my teacher's
life as my gurudakshina.
I must go to Delhi for that.
I worked with Dora
for the Nawab's benefit.
I stole in Machilipatnam to
facilitate a meeting with Dora.
You want Koh-i-Noor...
And I want my people.
Alamgir has
Koh-i-Noor on his crown.
The sages are in captivity
in the Red Fort dungeons.
Freeing both at the
same time is impossible.
Well die if we try to get both.
Those sages they captured
are no ordinary men.
They will pass their wisdom not just to
this generation, but the next one as well.
Each one of them is a
Koh-i-Noor in their own right.
Ill gladly give my
life to protect them.
But I refuse to
gamble with your lives.
-We will meet again.
-Veera.
Wait, Veera.
We accepted this task knowing
full well it could cost us our lives.
Dying by your side...
is an honor!
Veera.
We are with you.
If you think we can contribute,
well gladly walk beside
you until your goal is fulfilled.
We'll reach the checkpost next.
You shall be allowed passage only
after checking your permission documents.
Along with you,
take Abdullah,
and a couple of others.
Be careful of one thing...
Whatever may happen, don't
let them know that you are Veera.
The rest of us will reach
Delhi through Benaras.
Veera!
Weve been so close all this
time. Now that youre leaving,
I am scared that I
may not see you again.
I want to seek forgiveness with
folded hands for deceiving you.
You wished to hold my hand
and walk through life together.
I want to meet you again.
I want to journey
with you till the end.
This is the Moghul checkpost.
Attention. Attention!
You are entering the kingdom
of Alamgir, King Aurangzeb.
You have to pay the toll
and jizya taxes on your entry.
Give the coins or go away.
-Greetings, sir.
-Welcome.
You have to be careful here.
Maqbool Khan...
is the checkpost's head.
He's Alamgir Aurangzeb's
distant relative.
They cast him out of Delhi
claiming his anarchy
belonged at the border.
We must cross this station
before he sees us.
Why? What will he do?
He will hang us in the entrance.
-Do you want to get hung?
-No need.
Why should we trouble
him? Let's proceed calmly.
Come on. They will hang
us with those ropes, it seems.
Lets not get too
full of ourselves.
[in Hindi] Hey, Kafir!
Go from the other side!
Listen up, Kafirs. Do not enter
from here. Take the other entrance.
All Kafirs enter from
here and stand over there.
All this talk about Kafirs...
But who are they, really?
Those who offer milk to
snakes and worship stones.
-Do you mean us?
-Yes, its you.
Alamgir has ordered that you must
pay jizya tax for looking after you.
This path forbids Hindus
from passing on horseback.
Pathan and I will use
the Muslim doorway.
Enter without
arousing any suspicion.
Move on!
Make it fast!
Idols beyond this point are not allowed.
You'll be punished if caught in the act.
Hey!
What's in this sack?
Bloody Kafir!
Kafir!
Mom!
Mom!
Hey, move it.
Keep moving.
Move!
Move!
Keep moving.
Take it, please. Our hard work.
Stand upright!
Get going.
Are you trying to dupe us?
You can't take this inside.
[together] All hail the
Bolenath! All hail the Bolenath!
Be quiet!
Stop the ruckus right now.
Theres no escaping
punishment today.
How dare you walk in
here singing praises?
Dont you know music is
forbidden in Alamgirs kingdom?
Damn them! They are
taking a lot of money.
What's the use of cursing them?
If a donkey is
seated on the throne,
we must remit or pay
whatever it demands!
Alright. Move on.
Get going.
Three members.
Give it to me.
Theres nothing inside--
-Father!
-Dear!
Alright. So, this is nothing?
So this is what
you've been hiding?
You! I told you
idols are forbidden.
That... It's for the Puja.
It is not an idol.
It's a crystal lingam.
-We use it in our daily prayers.
-Shut up!
-What were you thinking?
-Sir, sir!
Father!
Father!
Father!
Father!
Hey!
-Give it to me!
-It's nothing! It's nothing!
Mother!
Please let us go!
Mother!
Come on. Keep going.
Is this a show for you?
Go on, ask your God
to come. Why wont you?
He storms in like
Rudra at doomsday
Be it sky or earth below, Roars
with a ruthless, rending flow
A weapon not of the weak
Born to cleave the night
Be it to save or to punish Let
the war cry pierce through them!
Hey!
March in! As devils
charge in endless waves
March in! Let thunder
strike with every blow!
March in! As the
enemies rush in with fury
March in! Let
their heads roll!
Catch him!
Hey!
Go from behind.
He should not
escape alive today.
Let's hack him!
The mouse is trapped!
Don't let it escape!
We'll hunt it down today!
Attack!
Like a maddened elephant
With pride unbroken
He storms the world,
leaving it shaken
With a sharpened goad in hand The
untamed one overthrows its destiny
Lets reshape Mother
India With fearless pride
Kill that mongrel!
Finish him off!
Brother.
Brother!
Brother!
Not the horse or the elephant...
Surely not the tiger, either.
Sacrifice the lamb, the meek...
Even God kills the weak!
Even God wants us to
live like lions and tigers.
One man...
Hes fighting alone, and
youre all just silently watching!
When your race and
religion are under threat,
living passively is...
equal to being dead.
Dharma doesn't only
mean singing hymns...
Dharma means...
standing together!
Hey!
Hey!
Go tell Aurangzeb...
To treat everyone equally.
The fierce roar you hear
It's your own blood boiling
With dharma as
vow, walk firm and free
Following the
selfless, righteous way
Let them say what they will
Ill stand tall, unshaken still
Though injustice struck
With ruthless hands
With no fear, no second glance
March ahead in fearless stance
Let fallen heads beneath your tread
Stand as proof of words once said
You stand
unshaken by your vow
Mother... this
fury burns for you
As fiery breath
escapes in gusts
Shaking off sleep and shedding fatigue
Through searing heat, they march unfazed
The fierce roar you hear
It's your own blood boiling
What is your name?
Why?
I would like to add your
name to my daily prayer.
You took a stand for justice.
Veeramallu.
Hari Hara Veeramallu.
Raise your voice
for Mahakal Maharaj!
Hail to thee!
