Matka (2024) Movie Script

[Hindi song plays on Radio]
Saaho!
I don't think
the call's coming anytime soon.
Let's have two more, then call it a night.
No, Raju. My instincts are clear.
Mithra may call anytime.
Don't refill until I tell you.
Yes!
Ambattur Industrial estate.
-Boys, get ready! Move! Move!
-No siren.
[in Tamil] We are not even
close to 15 guys.
We don't know
what the situation over there is.
Are you not afraid, Saaho?
I left all my fears behind
when I joined the duty.
When theres no fear,
the grip on life isnt as strong.
We have guns.
Do you have fear?
No. A true hunter
must know what kind
of fish hes going after.
Those are definitely not fish.
Those are whales, Pandian.
It'll take an hour to reach the factory.
To pass the time, why not tell
us the story about those whales?
This isnt a story to kill time.
But a one that changed the fate of
many lives in this country.
A tale that slipped India into debts.
Ten years after independence,
a man made his way
along with Burma refugees
to Visakhapatnam
by sailing across this very Bay of Bengal.
Thats when the story began to unfold.
He's a born criminal.
Hey! Listen to us.
Yes, tell me your name.
Sharada, Vasu.
Get in line.
Who is he to you?
My son, sir.
Do I have to say
it once more? Line up.
Come.
Food is here.
Come and take your parcels.
Hey, move! Leave way!
Everyone is going to get it.
Don't rush.
Can't you hear?
-Give me one more, sir!
-Only one per person.
I have a son.
Please give me one more.
-Move away!
-Hold it, dear.
-I'll go, Mom.
-No. Stay here. I'll get it.
Take it. Keep moving.
SirSir
-Give me one more.
-Are you hurt?
-Sir!
-Move! It's over.
Share what you got.
Packets are over.
-Show me your hand.
-We ran out of packets, man.
They have nobody, Mom.
Come with us.
-Eat up.
-Mom.
You both can eat.
Brother and I will try
to find something to eat...
-Hey! Hey!
-Just give it.
Hey! Hey! Let go!
Leave me.
It's mine.
Leave it.
-Vasu!
-Hey! Give it.
Leave him alone.
-Hey! Hey!
-Vasu!
-Thrash him.
-Hey!
Vasu! Let him go!
Let him go!
-Let him go!
-Leave him.
-Hey! Leave him.
-Let him go!
Vasu! Vasu!
Mom!
Somebody stop them!
Oh my god!
Vasu!
Vasu!
Vasu!
Hey!
Leave him.
Vasu! Someone save him!
Vasu!
Wafting by the banks of Yamuna
We can hear the divine melodious flute
Of Shyama Sundara
The divine melodious flute
The divine melodious flute
Of Shyama Sundara
-In the cool--
-Sir, a murder case, sir.
What's your name?
Vasu.
-Get the formalities done.
-Remove your shirt.
Your shorts as well!
Hands off!
Hands off, I say!
Oh!
A coin?
Do you really love money that much?
That's my father's.
If you act smart here
because you've committed a murder
Ill break your legs
and hang them over the door!
You must wake up on time.
Eat what you're served.
And do as you're told.
Say, "Yes, sir."
"Yes sir!"
Say it, damn you!
Come on.
Say it!
Say it.
Say, "Yes, sir."
Hey, you leave.
Hey
What's with that glare?
Oh!
Do you feel like hitting me back?
If I hit you, you'll die.
Promise.
You can do this.
I can see that in your eyes.
Forget killing,
but can you take a beating
in the tournaments here?
If you do, I'll reward you with money.
-You game?
-Feed me until Im full.
I'll do as you say.
I'll bash anyone you point to.
Of course, I'll win.
Promise.
Amazing!
As soon as he came to Vizag, he went
to the juvenile home in a murder case.
We believe they offer
education and discipline there.
But in reality, they're factories
that produce hardcore criminals.
Playgrounds that gamble
with the lives of children.
Gambling dens
played in the dark,
hidden from the world.
They are the investors,
as well as the audience.
Making the kids play,
and the dealer who profits
from their blood is
Narayana Murthy.
Go!
Hey! Hey!
That's it!
He's like a Hilsa, battling
against the current.
He's as swift as the Cheetah.
Narayana Murthy cashed in on that speed.
From Juvenile home
he got him shifted to Jail.
There, he grew up surrounded by demons,
becoming one himself.
I've sealed a huge deal.
You're getting released tomorrow.
Here, this is your last supper.
Win this game,
and youll be paid ten rupees.
Lose, and you'll bag 100.
Who is that?
Allipuram Shankar.
Anyone who takes his punch
will not stand up again.
But the audience are betting on you.
If you take a few beatings and lose,
youll walk away with wads of cash!
You could have bagged cash
if youd lost last night.
Id rather have respect and pride
from winning
than cash from losing.
Sign in this register.
Here you go.
Your share.
What's this?
Theres a lot of money!
In my 20 years of service,
I have played with so many.
But l loved only you.
The speed of your mind and body
is one of a kind.
Never lose it.
There'll be expenses outside.
I earned a lot from you.
Just keep it.
People who leave from here
will be back in no time.
But make sure you don't, okay?
What are you planning
to do when youre outside?
When people think of Vizag,
one should either remember the sea
or this Vasu.
I need to do something like that.
You need to stock up
big time to get that done!
In our country, only one man makes ninety
paisa for every rupee in circulation.
The rest of us fight over
the last ten, like me.
Youre that one making the ninety.
Dont end up as the one in ninety-nine.
You have what it takes.
Leave.
Vasu!
Call me whenever a need arises.
-Why don't you have something, Mom?
-I'll eat after you guys.
Brother?
You took care of Mom all these years.
Now, Im here to take care of all of you!
I need a job.
How can we find a job right away,
brother? Let's see.
Won't I find work
at the ship yard or the port?
Do you think
you're just out of college?
You came back from jail.
If you want to work at the port,
you need a degree.
You'll have to find a laborer work
in our Poorna market.
Have your food first.
-Do you have a job for me?
-Ask them.
Brother! Here.
-Do you have any job for me?
-No jobs here.
The cart is blocking
the path.
Unload quickly! Come on.
Get them down. We'll talk later.
Give me an answer.
I'll unload later.
Brother, is there a job for me?
No, son.
Unload first.
We'll discuss things later, I say!
Tell me you're hiking my pay
and I'll start.
Hey, how much do you work
and how much is my profit?
I won't hike even a rupee.
If you want to quit, do it after a month.
Brother, is there a job for me?
-Tell me quickly.
-20 rupees per month.
Should I pay you 20,
and sell sea shells at the sea shore?
-Is that it?
-You have a job or not?
-Leave.
-Am I begging or what?
I'm asking for a job.
He's quitting, right?
Ten rupees will do for me.
Who the hell are you?
You don't need the job and I do.
Raise your hand and I'll break it
and put it in the other.
Got it?
Do I get the job or what?
-Huh?
-Hey!
Off with the badge and leave.
Give me my balance payment.
I'll leave.
I'll pay you.
Stop by later.
Ten rupees per month.
Payment on the first of every month.
I'm not responsible
for your life what so ever.
Dump four loads a day
and keep them inside.
I'll pay you 10 paisa
per every extra load.
Two glasses of tea daily.
I'm not responsible for your smokes.
-Got it?
-Yes.
Take this load and keep it inside.
He doesn't look like a laborer.
-Fresh coconuts here.
-Look at the rates!
How much do you want?
Buy before it's sold out!
Hey, Reddy.
Did you fire my guy?
You haven't paid out to us
in a while.
Settle both of them right away!
I can't pay the salary
he's demanding, Solomon.
I'll gather some money in four days
and pay you back.
Look at that smile of yours.
Ammoru brother asked me to come back
only with your payout.
-I said I'll pay up within four days.
-If that's the case,
send us your daughter.
She'll stay with Ammoru
until you clear the debt.
How dare you!
What the hell are you talking about?
You moron!
Without a sense of words.
You rowdy!
Hey, Reddy!
You piece of crap!
-I'll chop you into pieces.
-Reddy! Calm down.
-Do what you want! Get lost.
-Wait, Reddy.
I won't give you the payout.
-You're dead meat, Reddy!
-Bring it on!
You good-for-nothing.
Wastrel! Bonehead!
-Let me go!
-Reddy!
Listen to me, Reddy.
Don't fight with them.
Sit here.
[counts cash]
I'm leaving.
-I'm done for the day.
-Be here early tomorrow.
-Tickets are sold out. Please leave.
-Hey! Brother! Brother!
Brother! Brother!
A ticket, please.
I told you it's a packed house. Didn't I?
We are the unlucky ones, aren't we?
Let's go.
Tickets are sold out.
I wanted to see NTR.
Why didn't you get here early?
-It got late at the harbor.
-Right! Ships move only with your push.
Am I the owner?
I can leave only when they ask me to.
Alright, come.
-We'll go tomorrow. It's my day off.
-Get lost! I couldn't watch the movie.
It wasn't intentional!
Why don't you get it?
You're always upset
with me like a girlfriend.
A girlfriend is much better.
What's wrong with this?
This one doesn't work properly.
-Come.
-Brother!
Huh?
You're here early!
How was the job?
Work's alright.
It's the owner. Seems like a dork.
Aren't the owners always like that?
What are we going to do now?
Hey.
I haven't been "that" way in a while.
Should we
Hop on! Hop on!
You come with us.
-Where to, brother?
-Just follow me.
-Where to, brother?
-Just come!
Boy, oh boy!
Looks like Sophia is dancing today.
I want to see Sophia up,
close and personal.
Hey!
If you want to afford the clothes
needed to enter that club,
you'll have to save all your salary
for three whole years. Let's go!
-Let's go!
-He keeps saying such things!
Who's Sophia?
She's Nani Babu's mistress.
Who's Nani Babu?
He's Sophia's lover!
You will get it as time goes by.
I can't find where the stand is!
Oh God! Chavula Madham
is in full swing.
Hey, Vasu
If the rest of the girls
here are like first-class tickets,
Sophia is a balcony ticket!
It's the same film!
Got it?
-Where are we?
-Chavula Madham.
Hey, girl! How much?
Will you come?
She won't come.
I will!
It's one rupee for a person.
Three rupees for three people.
Hmm?
Let's go.
You said she won't come?
She doesn't come alone.
She only accompanies me.
Is there a companion for this as well?
Don't ask me for details.
Finish what you came here for.
Hey, rickshaw! Come here!
Why did you accompany your sister?
Why do you want to know?
-Mind your own business.
-I didn't come here for that.
I accompanied them.
Just like you.
Hmm.
-Won't you stay there?
-No! No!
-It's not something you buy.
-Oh, really!
Hey! Vasu
Vasu! Chitti!
Where are you guys?
I'm in big trouble.
Come fast!
-Look what happened here!
-What's wrong, brother?
Something's wrong with her!
Let's go.
-What did you do to her?
-I didn't do anything.
Waste of money!
Her sister is coming. Wait.
Why didn't you inform me she
has fits, instead of carrying those locks?
We should earn a livelihood. Right?
Let's leave. What a deal!
It's my bad luck today!
Where do you stay?
Poorna market.
Hey, Vasu! What's with you?
I'll meet you if I'm in the area.
Once they began coal import
from Visakhapatnam port,
people around the port faced a problem.
The dust from the coal entered
their lungs and affected their health.
People began to protest.
To control coal dust, port management
issued a tender for
spraying water on the coal.
K.B. Reddy aka Krishna Balaji Reddy
got the contract.
He was from Nellore.
For the authorities, KB's word is final
on the number of tractors
of water sprayed.
Bribe and fear were his investments.
He had a devil to scare
Visakhapatnam named
Ammoru.
After all the deductions,
you should check how much
you are earning in a month.
Why are you focusing on my earnings?
It's wrong, isn't it?
This is regarding the public health issue.
I have written a report.
It's my duty.
What if you write?
If the report gets in the
hands of any opposing organization,
there will be an inquiry on you.
This is the report. Right?
What's going on in the Poorna market?
One person is not giving his share.
Others are not paying
on time because of him.
We are forcing them.
If people are not scared anymore,
we'll have to start cooking and
selling street food using this coal!
Shall we set up a stall at Akkaiahpalem?
I'll take care of it.
-You wanted two banana leaves, right?
-Yes.
You should be aware of everything
before signing the agreement.
You denied paying your share to us.
Hitting me is like hurting Ammoru.
It was a mistake, Solomon.
It happened in a fit.
-Please let me go.
-Hey!
Tie Reddy in front of the shop.
Let's take both his hands.
Hey, Vasu!
Vasu!
Please save me.
-They will kill me. Please save me.
-Who are they?
Ammoru's goons.
They are here to kill me!
Please save me.
I have no problem with them.
What if they hurt me if I rescue
you now? Think about my situation.
I'm taking both hands of Appal Reddy.
They are here!
People who are not paying up
their shares, come and watch!
Break open the lock.
Hey!
Hey, Vasu!
Hey, Vasu!
Help me get out of this.
I have a daughter!
My family will be ruined!
Vasu! Please save me somehow.
I'll give you whatever you want!
They're smashing the gate!
Hey! Hey!
Vasu!
-You'll give me whatever I want?
-I will!
Save me
Hey!
Can't you see I'm speaking?
Wait for a while.
Tell me what you want.
I want half of your business.
Will you give it? Tell me!
I will!
Promise?
Hey!
I'll be dead for no good reason!
If I live,
half my life is yours!
And half of this business, too!
I promise! Save me!
Save me!
Brother!
Brother!
To face these
goons of Ammoru,
a man has arrived to
Vishakhapatnam, finally!
If a man single-handedly
hits all our men in the market,
we should take
that man seriously!
I spoke to SI Konda.
Throw his remains into the sea tonight.
Ammoru!
Hang his coolie badge
on the market gateway.
Everyone, even the crows
in the market, should know
that we were the ones
who made him disappear.
Hey, Prasad!
It looks like they're
thrashing him badly.
Do something, buddy.
Hey!
Ammoru is here, man!
Ask the rikshaw to wait over there.
Not sure if he's still alive.
Take him away quickly!
Hey!
They'll kill him!
They'll kill him!
-Let's go.
-Where?
Huh?!
WELCOME NANI BABU TO
KANAKA MAHALAKSHMI TEMPLE FESTIVITIES.
If they kill him,
they'll kill us too.
We must save him!
We must save him! Come!
We must save him.
Have you checked the diesel?
We're about to go deep inside.
Tie him up tightly!
What's going on, Ammoru?
Are you going into the sea
without an announcement?
Mr. Nani Babu.
Don't get involved in this.
What's so great about getting him
bound and thrashed by the police?
Untie him!
Fight and win!
-That's real manliness.
-If I untie him?
Will he hit me?
Untie me and find out.
Let's see who gets
out of here alive!
Ugh!
Promise!
He said it right.
He became my man the moment
he thumped your men at the market.
If you dare, lay a hand
on Nani Babu's men
Hey Ammoru! Tell KB
that his days of profiting from
coal mining and the hafta
you collect are over!
Hey!
The market area is mine now!
Ours!
Your men shouldn't cross Allipuram limits.
None of you need to
pay off Ammoru anymore!
Market area belongs to Vasu now!
Vasu!
Mr.Nani Babu,
Vasu is my brother.
See you, sir!
Brother! Yay!
Vasu!
You won.
Come on.
Vasu!
Wait for a minute.
Come here.
I went to our Amman temple
and I prayed that you'll be alright.
I trust myself!
I don't like these things.
-You don't like God?
-No.
You don't like the person
who went to the temple for you, either?
There are people who like you.
There's nothing wrong
in respecting their beliefs.
What's up, brother?
Did she put vermillion on you?
Oh, shut up!
Before Coca-Cola came to India,
in Kavali, in the Nellore district,
Pendam Soda Center's Sugandhi
soda was very famous.
The guys who slightly changed
the Sugandhi soda formula,
and came to Vizag from Vellore
to open a cool drink factory,
were Nani Babu and KB.
Even though they started
the factory as partners,
they separated later due to KB's greed.
Nani Babu ran a cool drink
factory and a club
called Cool Spot.
Nani Babu had political aspirations.
That's when Nani Babu met Vasu.
Hey, Vasu!
Come!
Konda
Vasu.
He's like a brother to me.
The new boss who has arrived in Vizag.
A little joy
A little high
Enjoy it all
Come over here
Take me, take me, my king
Your delicate rose, to you I cling
Come and open wide
The door to heaven on this ride
Take me, take me, my king
Im the melody of your heart
Make me yours, dont hold back
Ill keep you spellbound, right on track
One subtle glance
And hearts race around
My soft smile
Drives all the men in town wild
Take me, take me, my king
Your delicate rose, to you I cling
Come and open wide
The door to heaven on this ride
Take me, take me, my king
Im the melody of your heart
Make me yours, dont hold back
Ill keep you spellbound, right on track
All you good men have it so tough
Always burdened, never enough
When you want a break to unwind
Ill be dressed up, home's right behind
A little joy
A little high
Enjoy it all
Come over here
Take me, take me, my king
Your delicate rose, to you I cling
Come and open wide
The door to heaven on this ride
Take me, take me, my king
Im the melody of your heart
Make me yours, dont hold back
Ill keep you spellbound, right on track
He's Vasu.
-He's like my brother
-Hello.
There's no need to
introduce Sophia to you.
Everyone in Vizag knows her.
See you tomorrow.
Be careful.
-Good night.
-Good night.
What's the fun in ending
any story that way?
It's got to start somewhere else.
In addition to the coconut business
Vasu started receiving market payouts.
Nani Babu is unbeatable.
KB became quiet for some days.
Vasu partnered up with Appal Reddy.
launched a new business.
He imported latest models
of dresses from Bombay and
introduced them
to Visakhapatnam.
Are you waiting for someone, Vasu?
No sir. I'm good.
-Sit, brother.
-Hey, Vasu!
-You sit!
-Sit, brother.
-Keep this money.
-What is this, Vasu?
We started from nothing.
Now, we need to establish our brand!
And everyone has to be part of it!
Let me go.
My sister isn't like that.
Hands off, please.
Hey, if she isn't going to come,
then why is she here?
I don't care if I have to pay more.
-I want this.
-I won't.
-Let go!
-I won't come. Leave me.
Hey, get your hands off her!
What?
Are you the broker around here?
Are you going to beat us up?
If I hit you, you'll die.
Huh?
Leave.
Sujatha!
Come here!
Pick one of these.
Pick one!
Mom
Come inside.
Mom, she is Sujatha.
Her sister Padma.
They'll stay with us from now on.
Come, dear.
You can stay with us.
If you like me,
you can stay here,
with me forever.
Promise.
-Hey, Vasu! Come!
-Are you doing good?
Sit.
You're getting the first invite, sir.
You're finally ready
to become a family man!
Are you marrying that girl?
They've been together for four years now.
If we get them married,
it would put an end to all the rumors.
I'd like a chat with you in private.
I'm planning to set up
a ready-made clothes unit.
Ill bring in raw material from Bombay,
manufacture, and supply them myself.
I need help with investment.
I won't help.
But I'm open for a partnership.
How much do you need?
What's my share?
Alright.
I'll give you 50 percent.
But
I need to have the full control.
I'll take leave for now.
See you, sir.
Do you like him so much?
Youre going out of your way to help?
At the circus, people laugh
and applaud the clowns.
But
there's one person who controls
the lions and tigers with a small stick.
That's who he is...
The ring master!
The crowd will respect him.
Including me.
When an enemy is quiet,
it doesnt mean hes lost his nerve.
It means hes taking time to get stronger.
On the occasion of Vasu's wedding,
KB sent a gift through Ammoru.
Oh my god!
Someone get him to the hospital.
Vasu
Tell me.
They restricted me to the bed.
Its time for you
to lead the club and our factory.
Take care of Sophia.
KB?
Ammoru?
Ammoru surrendered to the police.
I'll take care of KB.
Take some rest.
I'll take leave.
We might think he would do
something to KB and Ammoru.
But strangely, he didn't do anything
about them at all.
He never took revenge.
He started studying.
He developed a strong command
over the club, factory
and all their functions.
It took three years for Nani Babu
to recover and sit up.
Long live Nani Babu!
-Long live Nani Babu!
-May God bless you with abundance.
Long live Nani Babu!
Long live Nani Babu!
Thank you.
Cheers, everybody!
Cheers!
Thanks for all your support.
Our plan to set up
a ready-made unit is yet to materialize.
Nani Babu is back.
That's right.
When will you speak to him
about the investment, brother?
He just got here.
We'll ask him later.
Our plan can't stop no matter what.
-We must begin it.
-What do you mean?
Tell me.
The money we got
doesn't serve any purpose.
We'd need
two and a half lakh rupees.
To get that kind of money,
you either loot a bank or
use counterfeit currency.
Let's do it.
Tell me if you know anybody.
This is like standing
in line with a wayward arrow.
I'm high and blabbering something!
Why didn't you at least think?
I've thought this over. Forget banks.
Let's think about counterfeit currency.
Why'd a widow need a white saree
if her husband is alive?
I've had that experience too.
Before you joined work with me,
with a dry run
and unable to afford the payouts,
you remember
I had a fight with that Solomon.
Two days before that, a guy named Kapoor,
he's sitting right there.
He told me people from Dwarapudi
have come to exchange fake notes,
I headed to Anakapalli with 2000 rupees.
-Who's there?
-Appal Reddy.
See you then.
However, Vasu,
to say the truth,
one cant believe they're fake!
They're that good!
I was walking down the road,
happy about ending my bad days.
I saw lights from a distance and
I held up my hand thinking it's a truck.
But, that was a police jeep.
I almost peed my pants!
And they took away all the money.
I begged him, saying I was a family man
and to show mercy,
and he took the cash and drove off.
They took away my clothes.
I'm left with nothing but a drawer.
Dogs chased me from one side.
No truck driver stopped
seeing me like that.
I walked all the way till Gajuwaka.
Finally a good soul stopped his truck.
No, Vasu.
It's dangerous, drop it.
Hey, stop this!
Stop laughing, please.
Do one thing.
Borrow some money from the shopkeepers.
And close the deal with Kapoor.
Tell him that it's a large sum.
I'll go and get the notes.
Once upon a time, they thought
they'd never set foot in a bar like this.
Now we're enjoying drinks
in that very club!
Believe when Vasu says.
Promise.
First, focus on getting the money.
We'll name the clothing unit
after your daughter.
Where to?
I have something to tell you.
I'm going till Erramattidibbalu
to run an errand.
We'll talk once I get back.
Why take all this with you
when youre going out at night?
I may need them.
For you, this money is a necessity
that's turned into an addiction.
And addiction leads to downfall.
Not happiness.
Why can't we be happy with what we have?
If I was happy with what I have,
I'd have stopped at the rice parcel.
Seeking out the path is the mark
of someone who aims to grow.
-Let me grow.
-What if things go south?
When we have the intention to help others,
nothing bad will happen to us.
I'll be back.
How much?
A lakh.
Didn't you say three lakhs?
We couldn't arrange that on time.
Show me the notes.
We'll have a deal
only if I'm okay with them.
Its risky to have this kind of money
on hand around here!
We brought six for you,
as you asked for three.
Anyways, they are fake notes.
Right, brother?
We can reprint them!
Are you seeing that?
Not even the Reserve Bank
can figure out thats a fake!
We print them in Nasik.
What?
Convinced?
If you wait two more days,
I'll take the remaining too.
Let's see.
Careful with the money.
Put your hands up!
Move and I'll shoot!
Officers! Go and cease the money.
So, whats your plan after that?
You going to get me half naked?
Your uniform suits you well.
But will your higher ups approve
your unshaven appearance on duty?
-Brother!
-Arrange it quickly.
Move, uncle.
They don't look
like counterfeit money.
I never imagined I'd see
such a huge amount.
Uncle, if they are real police,
they'll take the money and arrest us
or take a bribe and release us.
If they stripped you
in the middle of a road,
I realized all of them
belong to the same group.
You mean
All the notes are real.
Not a single note is fake!
What, Aunty?
You made payasam at this time!
Your wife's pregnant.
She wanted to tell you this.
But you left in a hurry.
She was waiting for you so long.
And eventually dozed off.
Son-in-law!
Have you thought of a name yet?
You tell me.
I'm going to Mumbai.
Regarding the clothing factory.
If we set up that factory,
instead of selling their bodies,
near Chavula Madham
we can create jobs
for many people.
Hey, what's this?
Just consider, brother.
I'll pay you the money.
-Brother, Bijlani.
-Go inside.
Please write your name here.
Uncle, why is he quoting so much?
-Wait. I'll talk to him.
-Go and talk.
Pick up your slip. Fast!
Put your money now.
Put your money. Fast!
I'm betting three
on number five.
I'm betting twelve
on number seven.
-I'm betting four on number nine.
-I'm betting fifteen on number six.
Oh my god!
It's number six, this time.
I'm betting twenty
on number five.
What if you lost all your money?
I'm betting thirty there.
I'm betting five
on number three.
I'm betting one
on number two.
I'm betting thirty
on number five.
Look at there.
One cup of tea, please.
I'm betting thirty
on number nine.
Oh god!
It's number five now.
Number five, this time!
Put your money now.
We'll bet on number two.
I'm betting ten
on number two.
Is it number two now?
Oh god!
I need to bet my money again!
Let's go! I got the rates.
He's not budging a bit.
Let's go to another mill.
There's no need.
Let's go to Vizag.
What?
We wont enter the clothing business.
Then?
Tea, tea!
Tea, tea!
Tea, tea!
Brother, bring two cups of tea.
Uncle
Tea, tea, tea!
Tea, tea, tea!
Tell me about the business.
Brother, give me an empty cup.
Tea, tea, tea!
Tea, tea,
Brother! Tea!
Girl!
Please come here.
Tea, tea, tea!
Tea!
Hold it.
-What are you doing?
-I'm writing.
Let's play a game for fun.
For passing the time.
There are 10 slips in this cup.
The slip contains numbers from 0 to 9.
I'll take out two slips.
If someone guesses the
right number I have chosen,
I'll give you eight rupees for one rupee.
If someone gets two numbers right,
I'll give you 80 rupees for one rupee.
What?
-You'll give eight rupees for one rupee?
-Yes.
If I guess the two numbers correctly,
will I get 80 rupees?
Kamesh - 4, Bhaskar - 7.
Jagapathi -3.
Dear, please write it.
7!
-Yes!
-He won it!
Sir, give me the money.
SirSirmoney
Sir
Let's play!
If we guess two, it's 80 rupees, right?
Yes.
First guess is 4.
The second guess is 7.
Kamesh-2.
Mahalakshmi-7.
4!
The second number is
Hail the lord!
8!
Oh god!
No!
Ready?
I lost it by a number.
Otherwise, I would've
won the entire thing.
Hold it, uncle.
Mine is 9!
Mahalakshmi two rupees.
4!
-Mine!
-Oh god!
This is great business!
Earning without investment!
Listen carefully, mate.
Business is all about buying and selling.
We sell hope and buy their trust.
This is our new business.
Do you think the
government will remain silent?
Once the money starts speaking,
no language in the world can answer it.
The entire nation will play this game.
This game is for everyone,
from laborers to officers.
Promise!
I have a name for this game.
What's that?
Matka!
Eureka!
Just sitting gets you nowhere
Watching doesnt win the game
But jump in
And the whole worlds yours
If you fall, get back up
Dont lean on anyone
Life teaches you all there is to know
Lets bring it on!
If fear takes over
Dreams will never come true
Lifes a gamble
Winnings what counts!
Look around, look around
Moneys everywhere in this world
Scoop out, Scoop out , Scoop out
Youll find more as you scoop out
Step over the rest, rise to the top
Its your right to live and aim high
Only you can be your guide
Lucks no knock at the door
So go make your own way
A human is like a fish
He gets caught
The moment you bait him
Its no crime, no crime
To hunt if youre hungry
Its hard if you say no
God wont always save you
Greeds a friend to everyone
How can you just ignore it?
We all listen to its call
Were here for a short stay
One day well all go
So lets live it up today!
Sharpen your mind
Outsmart the crowd
Just sitting gets you nowhere
Watching doesnt win the game
But jump in
And the whole worlds yours
If you fall, get back up
Dont lean on anyone
Life teaches you all there is to know
Lets bring it on!
If fear takes over
Dreams will never come true
Lifes a gamble
Winnings what counts!
Lets bring it on!
Hopes live longer.
Bad travels faster.
If you begin Matka game in the morning,
you'll get results by 5 pm.
People got used to it.
People want things urgently.
With the same urgency,
Vasu spread the Matka game
throughout the country.
So?
Any traces about the money?
[In Hindi] Ma'am Prime Minister,
we are working on the same.
Working on it?
Seriously?
For the first time in the
Indian Economic system,
such a large amount of unaccounted
money is missing from the banks.
The Intelligence agencies
are showing blank papers.
There's a lot of difference between
printing and circulation in our country.
Where is all the money?
Ma'am Prime Minister,
we have done an extended investigation.
And the money is in Visakhapatnam.
Mr. Rao
What are you doing?
It's your state.
Ma'am, we are trying to solve
this problem as early as possible.
Quicker than that, Mr. Rao!
If this business continues, the Indian
economy will be reduced to ashes.
How can the country's development
happen without money?
The opposition parties are questioning us.
I should find an answer.
Do something!
I need results.
Sir, it's not like that sir.
We don't know who is operating it.
An individual? Or an organization?
Or a cult?
Alright. Tell me your
next course of action.
Sir, I'm sending my
best man to Visakhapatnam.
Go ahead!
Who holds that kind of money
in Visakhapatnam?
Where is it?
Do you know the story of Dronacharya
asking Eklavya's finger as his fee?
If he removes the thumb, he can
never use the bow and arrow.
And he cannot beat Arjuna as well.
What's the use?
He practiced with his
left hand and came to war.
Darwin hypothesized that 16 other species
have the same number of fingers
on their hands and toes on their feet.
What we have in our hands
are called opposable thumbs.
It means
Hands with thumbs that can be
positioned opposite to the other fingers.
Among the 16 different species,
the monkey group constitutes the most.
Human beings evolved from monkeys. Right?
No.
Before the monkeys,
about 380 million years ago,
various species of fishes on this earth
were said to have hands.
Did you understand, Bhaskar Rao?
We were fishes once upon a time.
Then, monkeys.
But now, we are humans.
Why are you talking about
the monkey history, Vasu?
-Tell us why you called us here.
-I will.
Listen to this first.
You'll be shocked.
Apart from humans and monkeys,
other creatures have
pseudo opposable thumbs.
They can't touch their thumb to
their other fingers like we can.
With this advantage, humans
can eat rice using their hands.
They can touch girls.
He can drag a bedsheet while sleeping.
He can squash a mosquito after it bites.
He can confidently stride
onto a battlefield.
All he needs is a weapon
in his hand to kill!
Without hands like these,
we cannot perform
sins or virtues.
With such powerful hands,
a number is written and sent to
the entire country at the same time.
In Kurnool, Nandyala and Tadipatri,
they are hearing other numbers.
Those numbers were written
by Bhaskar Rao's hand?
-Tell me, Jagapathi.
-Huh?
My brother-in-law asked me to do it.
I thought it wouldn't come up to you.
This won't happen again, Vasu.
When the same number gets
sent across the entire nation,
I monitor everything.
Don't you know it?
I won't repeat it, Vasu.
A brother-in-law can shape a life.
What happened to your life?
When you lost two rupees,
I gave you three districts.
You got a bungalow.
You got land. Your wife got gold jewelry.
A cat that has eaten a hundred mice
goes on a pilgrimage.
Do you want me to believe it?
It was a mistake.
I'll never repeat it, Vasu.
Please believe me.
Promise?
Promise.
The fake one is more
colorful than the original!
But life is shorter.
Its great if everyone
understands this and works.
I'm not Dronacharya to let you
go after taking a finger.
Vasu.
Matka King!
I'm the best man that Home Secretary
Mr. Rao and the CBI staff mentioned.
The day I landed in Vizag
to track down the racket kingpins,
Ammoru walked free from jail.
Clueless about
where to begin the investigation,
I joined as a clerk in a shipping company
and started my undercover operation.
The local beaters
who operate Matka were my first target.
We've got to give out
the numbers today, brother.
Mom!
Bring my daughter.
My dear! Come here.
Had your bath?
My dear
Pick two cards.
[counting] 30, 36, 38, 39
Uncle. Note this down.
Monday.
-One minute.
-Four, five.
Four, five.
Tuesday. Eight, six.
Eight, six.
Uncle, Wednesday. Three, Eight.
-Pick two more, my precious one.
-See this.
My dear!
Don't involve my daughter
in a game that kills people.
-I never forced anyone to play.
-But you got them addicted to the game.
-What are you trying to say?
-Stop all this.
We dont want anyones curse.
This sin isnt for us.
Sins and virtues depend on
where you stand and how you see things.
More than curses from the losers,
we'll have blessings from the winners.
That's the game.
The winner isn't coming to thank me.
I don't have to think about the loser.
I don't need a person
who doesn't care for sins and virtues.
Don't make my daughter do such things.
What do you mean?
Me and my daughter
aren't going to stay here.
Stop!
You and my daughter
are staying right here.
Don't drag this issue further.
I'll remain as I am
and it's better if you did the same.
Don't bring our daughter into this.
A home isnt made of walls
and a roof alone.
It needs hearts full of love.
This isn't my home from today.
My daughter isn't getting involved
in these deeds.
I'm telling you straight up.
There's crime and death
behind every successful business.
Matka destroyed many a families.
I built my team from those families.
Every evening,
our team started tracking down
those who send opening and closing
Matka numbers nationwide.
We aim to bring them
before the Supreme Court
and protect the country's economy.
Unable to hold off pressure
from the opposition,
the Prime Minister declared an emergency.
The land resembled a war zone.
Following the emergency, the Janata Party
emerged victorious in the elections.
Nani Babu became Vizag MP.
KB went underground.
Nice carpet!
It looks beautiful.
-I got it from Kashmir.
-Oh!
It's a designer piece.
I can get another one for you.
That's alright.
Coca cola is shut down.
Nani Babu plans to set up
Cool Spot factories across the country.
I'm here to discuss investment with you.
I'll speak to Nani Babu directly
regarding this.
Talking to me
is just like talking to Nani Babu.
That doesn't apply to me.
I won't talk.
Would you like some coffee?
I like the guys who dont care about me
more than the ones who chase me.
I liked you the very first time I saw you.
Your eyes, and the hunger in them.
Now I like you even more.
Leave, Sofia.
In Visakhapatnam,
there are people whod hand over
their whole property
just for a brush of my little finger.
How am I any less compared
to your wife from Chavula Madham?
Say one more word about her,
and Ill slice your tongue.
Alright I won't speak.
Is it true you both had a fight?
I heard you're staying away from her?
Don't you have needs?
My wife and I may have
a thousand issues between us.
At the same time
we both trust and respect each other.
You, a b
like you
A vamp like you wouldn't understand.
KB remained silent until
Ammoru was released from prison
after serving a seven-year sentence.
After securing sandblasting and painting
contracts at the shipping harbor,
he gathered money and men.
KB knew if he wanted power in his grip,
hed need a gun in his hand too.
-Cheers!
-Cheers!
It feels weird to call you by name.
You've grown bigger.
Youre an MP now.
Around here, whoevers got
the muscle runs the show.
But I still consider myself your follower.
Did you feel bad for sending Sofia to you?
Had you called, I'd have come personally.
I was in Delhi then.
Actually
-It is
-Excuse me.
You were saying.
Ya I meant
The Coca Cola matter.
This is the right time.
I'm planning to set up
Cool Spot factories across the country.
We need to cover at least
seven or eight centers.
I need help with the investment.
I won't help.
But I'm open for a partnership.
Deal!
Nothing better than
a partnership with Vasu.
But just the investment won't do.
I need your time too.
I could barely manage politics
in Delhi and Vizag.
But
I've got a few conditions.
Come. Let me explain.
From the market to this position,
I've got my people
who were with me during this journey.
Those people must be appointed as watchmen
in the factories we are going to setup.
They should be provided housing outside
the factories. And one more thing.
The land we set up the factories
must not be taken either on lease or rent.
If not lease or rent,
we'll have to purchase the lands.
It'll cost us a bomb, Vasu.
Not a bad idea to invest in land.
I'll arrange the money.
Eat fast, dear.
Looks like your Dad's home early today.
Careful, dear!
Who is there?
Dear girl!
Take her inside.
Don't step out until I ask you to.
What happened?
Both of you stay right here.
Don't come outside. Sit down.
Keep him safe and secure.
Be careful, son-in-law.
Open the door.
Open the door.
Hello?
Mom!
Sujatha!
My dear Sujatha
Mom!
-Mom!
-Dear Sujatha
-Mom!
-Sujatha
My dear Sujatha!
What a cruel fate!
My girl. My girl.
Where's my girl?
My girl.
What were we thinking,
Coming to this turn?
Who am I, who are you,
That this friendship grew fond of us
A chance encounter
On a winding path of destiny
Time, a silent shroud,
Envelops all in oblivion
How far? How far?
How far is this journey?
Until then, until then,
I will follow you
Who am I? Why am I?
Your arrival answered me
This ceremony calls for
Our souls to intertwine
What were we thinking,
Coming to this turn?
Who am I, who are you,
That this friendship grew fond of us
Two souls entwined
Becoming a trinity
In the soft glow of
Our courtyard
Our joys turned into
Beautiful patterns
This growing innocence is
Becoming our greatest treasure
Our enduring passion is what
Makes our story so strong
As a vermilion on your forehead
The hardest stone in me melted
As our story goes on and on
What were we thinking,
Coming to this turn?
Who am I, who are you,
That this friendship grew fond of us
A chance encounter
On a winding path of destiny
Time, a silent shroud,
Envelops all in oblivion
How far? How far?
How far is this journey?
Until then, until then,
I will follow you
Who am I? Why am I?
Your arrival answered me
This ceremony calls for
Our souls to intertwine
After losing his mother and wife,
Vasu stepped back.
Matka stopped.
But people, used to the taste of money,
turned against the beaters
when it ended.
A low-pressure area is likely
to form over the Bay of Bengal.
As confirmed by
the Meteorological Department.
It has been warned that
this low-pressure area has a chance of
intensifying into a cyclone
within the next seventy-two hours.
People living in coastal cities like
Visakhapatnam, Rajahmundry
have been warned not to go fishing
There's no joy in
me becoming the MP.
Thinking about the tragedy
you went through...
You cant fall apart like this, Vasu.
People only fear a snake
as long as it hisses.
You need not bite.
Just hiss.
Ill admit,
theres a bit of selfishness here too.
I've become busy with politics.
I was counting on you
to run the factories.
If youre out there unshaken,
guys like KB wont dare mention us again.
Think about it.
Did you find out where KB is?
We don't know yet.
We'll soon find him.
We cant bring back those we lost.
Dont lose the ones still here.
Careful.
You coming to my home
Seeing you again in your usual self
Makes me so happy, Vasu.
I felt like seeing you.
I wanted to meet you.
Please forget whatever
happened between us.
I shouldn't have spoken ill
of Sujatha that day.
If I had all that in mind,
I wouldn't have brought you this gift.
Nothing like that.
Do you like it?
Are you happy?
I told you I liked it some time back.
And you remembered.
It's really precious to me.
What does it take to see you
as the Vasu of olden days?
No one could fill Sujatha's place
But I'm ready to take care of you
and your daughter from this moment.
You seem so tired.
What happened?
Did you remember Sujatha?
Yes.
What if we're happy together...
and then they take you away from me?
-Nothing of that sort would happen.
-No, no. We can't trust anyone.
I can't lose anyone else in my life.
Those who attacked me in the club,
and those who killed my mom and Sujatha,
are KB's goons.
-I'll have to finish them, right?
-You and Nani Babu have a lot of enemies.
Correct.
But, the meeting between
me and Nani Babu at the club
was known just to
us and my men
and no one else.
Who could've tipped KB regarding this?
You are thinking unnecessarily.
Forget all that.
Enjoy this evening.
Hey! Stay right there.
Looking at you and the carpet together,
the combination looks amazing.
Tell me something, Sofia.
Am I a good person?
Or a bad person?
You are a fighter, Vasu.
Correct.
A fighter
can't spare the lives of those
who took away his dear ones.
What if something happens to you?
That day from the club,
there was a phone call dialed to KB.
I've got control over here, here,
and here. That's how I've come this far.
I've already tipped off KB,
that I've come here.
Hello Sophia
Vasu's onto everything.
Just get out of Vizag.
Sophia?
Hello?
Hello?
Vasu, Vasu. Listen to me.
Please. Listen--
After letting go of his funeral gloom,
Vasu went back to his old ways.
Matka was on the rise again!
My investigation is closing in.
I found an important lead
regarding this case in Bombay.
Won't you have you lunch, sir?
-Please go ahead. I'll join later.
-Okay, sir.
The first opening bet
begins at nine o'clock
and the closing bet is
five in the evening.
You can bet on any number
from one to nine.
Pan shop, tea shop owners,
anybody can be the beating agents.
Theyll note down your number,
sign it, and hand it to you.
If your number hits in the evening,
youll get exactly eight times your money.
And if you guess both opening and closing
numbers right, you get 80 times.
This addiction is more dangerous
than drugs, ma'am.
Once you're hooked, there's no way out.
Some make it,
but many are ruined.
Send this.
Almost 60 percent of the countrys economy
is unaccounted for.
It's sitting in the hands of
the guys running this Matka game.
Across the country, in every state,
there are now
a total of 412 districts, maam.
Every district has a beater.
And he receives the number.
These are the family details
of all 450 beaters.
They don't know each other.
They never meet.
But the common point between them is
children.
They are all studying
in Sujatha English Convent, Bombay.
With all the state-of-the-art facilities.
Do you know why they take care of their
education, food, and facilities, maam?
To keep their name and the entire setup
from leaking out in any way,
this system was set up
by those running this.
If someone lets a word loose,
their kids will be killed.
So, this business runs purely on
human greed and fear.
I'm all ears
to hear the names behind this.
This is Prasad.
Hes a friend of Vasu, an ex-convict
who re-started life as a market laborer.
Vasu is the business partner
of Vizag MP, Nani Babu.
I'm almost there, ma'am.
Either MP Nani Babu, Vasu,
or both of them together
are running this Matka gambling racket.
They've got eight soft drink manufacturing
units all over the country.
Some of them arent operational.
Thats where
they must be hiding all that money.
How can you be so sure?
In this school they run,
there are a total of 766 students.
755 out of them
are the children of 412 beaters.
The remaining 11 are the children
of the security guards of these factories.
So there's a link.
I need a search squad, ma'am.
Go ahead.
Where's your first location?
Madras.
This is where the story I know ends.
This factory will tell us
where this story is headed from here.
Let's see.
-Who is it?
-Open the gate.
Who are you and why should I open?
Police! Open now.
Search there also.
What's that?
That's where I stay.
Your daughter Haritha Rani
is studying in Bombay, right?
Your salary doesnt quite fit
with that school.
Sir!
If you tell me what you know,
that'll save me time.
And the life for you.
-They'll kill me if I tell you, sir.
-I'll kill you if you don't.
Tell me and I'll arrange for your daughter
to come back safely to you.
That's huge
money!
I hail from Kristipadu village
near Anantapur, ma'am.
There are ten more just like me.
All expenses for our childrens schooling
and our families
are covered by Prasad Sir in Bombay.
We came here six years ago, ma'am.
They inform me when the money arrives.
I'm not to speak to anyone.
This factory was shut down an year ago.
That's alright.
How does the same number reach the whole
country at once? Explain that.
Ma'am
If you tell us everything,
your daughter will be with you by morning.
They write numbers on trains from
Visakhapatnam that go across the country,
enough for the whole week, Madam.
The opening number
is on the first carriage.
And the closing number
is on the guards carriage.
But the trains don't run to every village.
Yes, ma'am.
For those places,
they send numbers tied to pigeons.
Pigeons?!
They dont send them daily.
They write out all the numbers
for the week and send them in advance.
They keep the beaters and agents
in line by controlling their children,
just like ours.
Those who work in the factory
have no clue about all these.
I know.
Who decides and dispatched the numbers?
Sir!
Even if you threaten
to kill me and my daughter,
I don't know that information, sir.
No more beating around the bush.
Take over all the factories.
The press should not get a whiff of this.
I repeat. No press.
Sir, CBI.
They want to talk about the factory.
Hello, sir. I'm Mitra.
Central Bureau of Investigation.
-Yes.
-I need speak about what he just told you.
In our office.
All your factories are under our control.
Including your staff and the money.
May I know the reason?
Cool drink business isn't illegal.
And I'm a Member of the Parliament.
You seem to have forgotten, Mrs.
What did you say your name was?
Mitra.
And this is the case.
This is not for running those factories.
But for running the Matka gambling racket.
And hiding crore of rupees
in your factories.
Crores of rupees?
I don't get what you're saying.
It's a petty issue.
It's Vasu who's running all this.
That there's a lot of money
in the Matka he runs,
and that he's hiding all that
in my factory,
is something I'm truly unaware of.
Yeah. But you're a partner.
We'll have to arrest you first.
And then the court of law will decide
what to do further.
Just a minute, Mrs. Mitra.
How many know about this?
Well. Me and my team members.
May I smoke?
I reached this stage
after a 25-year long struggle.
I don't know about you.
But if you cooperate with me
clean my hands,
I'll handover one factory to you.
That means, you get to take
all the money in that factory.
You can do whatever
with the remaining factories.
What about you?
Don't you need that money?
I'm a politician.
Politics is an evergreen business.
I know how to squeeze
money out of the people.
If my estimate is correct,
Vasu must have hidden
the money in many places.
I'll bring all that out.
What about you?
Deal?
We'll start the operation.
We'll have to locate Vasu and arrest him.
You won't find him.
Today is Friday.
Vasu will vanish by Sunday morning.
Give out a press release
regarding Vasu and this gambling racket.
For the war to end, the enemy must die.
First I'll have to meet an old friend.
Dad.
Didn't Mom tell you
not to do things like this?
Dad, it was all because of these things
that Mom and grandmother have died.
Will they kill us both now, Dad?
Don't say such things, dear.
You didn't listen to Mom
when she told you to stop,
did you, Dad?
I'm asking you to stop
all this now. Will you?
If I stop it now,
I'm answerable to a lot of people now.
To explain why I can't stop,
I'll have to explain why I started.
Let me tell you a story
about a little goat.
Rest on my lap, dear.
Once upon a time, when
the sky met the Earth,
there was an island.
And on that island, lived a little goat.
It was with its mother and father.
There were many other families
like theirs on the island.
The surrounding sea did not provide
drinking water for the goats.
The sand on the island was
not suitable for grazing.
Driven by hunger,
the goats learned the
art of fishing in the sea.
A fox lived on the island.
The fox was the leader of all the goats.
The fox's word was the law for the goats.
The fox sent all the father goats
for fishing in the ocean.
The goats brought fish for the fox.
The fox took the fish and gave
the goats as much as they wanted.
After eating the fish
the goats brought,
the fox grew fat.
But the fox would only give
the hardworking goats a day meal.
Accusing him of exploiting the goats,
the little goat's father rallied with
the other goats and confronted the fox.
The fat fox
beat the goat
that asked for justice,
burned their boats,
and drove the family away from the hunt.
It ordered the other goats not
to associate with that family.
That family starved for two days.
The hungry little goat kid was
weeping to its father.
Afraid of the family's
starving leading to death,
the father goat knocked on
the other goats' door for help.
But, no doors opened.
Desperate,
the goat turned to the fox,
begging for a morsel to eat.
But the cruel and heartless fox
replied, 'I have plenty,
but not for you.
Send your wife instead.'
The father goat returned home
and wept, recounting the cruel demand.
Nothing is more vile than hunger.
With no other choice,
the mother goat went to the fox
and returned with food.
She satisfied everyone's cravings.
Dawn broke.
As the first rays of dawn
touched the land,
the father goat lay lifeless,
as the little goat witnessed.
From the words of the other goats,
the little goat understood why the fox
that denied food upon its father's request
provided food when
the mother goat went.
The young goat was filled with rage.
It was angry at the island,
at the deceitful fox,
at the ungrateful goats,
and at the god who did nothing.
Then, it killed the fox,
burned all the boats,
and took its mother
to a faraway island.
There, it joined other
baby goats like itself
and entered a large forest.
In the forest, it reached
a wolf in a cave.
For several years,
the wolf had been conducting
a gambling game using
the blood of this young goat.
When the goat grew up and
was about to leave the wolf,
the wolf said,
'Oh Goat, goat,
you are not a goat.
You are a tiger.
If you want to live in this world,
you must live like a tiger.'
Since that day, the goat
began thinking like a tiger.
Over time, it transformed into a tiger.
The goat inside it died.
Having realized that one's stomach
determines what is good and bad,
it decided to live like a tiger.
The day you understand this,
you will come to your dad
and you will kiss him.
Hmm.
Get some rest.
Come.
Brother, he's here.
Your cheeks look cute.
How are you, KB?
You must be having
great fun here at the sea.
Let's get straight to the point.
Your life shouldn't end on this sea.
You must come back to shore.
It's my position and my reputation
that needs to be
rescued by you.
That Vasu guy got settled here at Vizag.
He betrayed me despite being so close.
He accumulated more than half
of the country's money.
Matka!
Piles and piles of money in it. Oh my God!
He misused my factories.
He doesn't deserve to have that money.
He should be punished
for what he has done.
I've been waiting for this
moment for so long.
The time has come.
We need to set fire.
And bring him out of his den.
Ammoru?
Alert the coconut grove boys.
The Visakhapatnam beach sand
has been out of touch with
my feet for quite some time now.
Let's go.

He sells colored stones

What's inside the stone
The skill is in your hands

A home in Allipuram
The sky wears a sari of blue
A home in Allipuram
The sky wears a sari of blue
Id drape it myself
And wait for you
Id drape it myself
And wait for you
But don't you want to see me
Or keep selling stones?
Won't you look at me
And cool me down?

Where's my daughter?
Don't panic, darling!
It's you we want.
We'll kill you first,
and release your daughter later.
You are all coconut grove boys, right?
I began the same way you did.
I'm not sure about the
money you're getting now,
but if you let my daughter go,
I'll give you more money than
you've ever seen in your life.
Oh!
We've settled on sixty thousand.
What do you offer?
Will you give us a lakh?
I'll give you sixty lakhs.
Right now. Right here.
The money is in the jeep behind.
Take as much as you want.
Even a couple of extra
bundles won't matter.
Check it.
Where's my daughter?
She's there, sir.
Vasu!
Dear?
Dear!
Nothing happened to you, right?
-Were you scared?
-No, Dad.
I know you'll come.
Hey!
Tell the person who
assigned you this task
that you have ended my life.
As you wish, mate.
Yeah, tell me.
We've finished the job as you instructed.
Okay.
-Come and take the rest of the money.
-Yes, sir.
The body should vanish.
It shouldn't be found anywhere.
Okay.
Alright. I'm leaving.
Tell me when the
payment will be disbursed.
As soon as I return from Delhi,
let's have a big party with the payment.
Lets run away
To a heavenly hideaway
Or stay here
And rule this world our way!
Maddilapalem, time to dance
Akkayapalem, lets take our chance
Rushikonda hill, to shout out loud
Hey, darling... are you ready now?
This bodys electric
Flip the switch, lets go
With just one look, did my beauty
give you a jolt? Feeling that fever?
Afraid to let go?
Come... join me tonight
This girl is
Ready for the spotlight
Im all my mamas got
So treat me right!
Your teasing ways can spark my fire
But no spark can
Tear this dress apart
Just call me close
Whisper what you desire
Watch me drop all my shy attire
By tonight the money should be
-delivered to Seethamma Dhara godown.
-Okay, sir.
Inform the print media guys
tomorrow morning.
Yes, sir.
Saying he has nothing to
do with this business,
tell them that
Vasu ran away.
I'm taking a flight to Delhi
tomorrow afternoon.
Yes, sir.
You didn't say anything about me?
Vasu's corpse will be
thrown in Yarada.
If his dead body washes ashore
after two or three days,
close the case saying
he committed suicide.
Once I return from Delhi,
I'll settle your account.
Keep this until then.
-My DSP posting?
-I'll take care of it.
Vasu,
I have nothing to do with this.
Do whatever you want.
I'm going now.
Sit down, Konda.
Let's talk about old times.
Sit down.
Where is KB?
He went to get the
money you hid, Vasu.
Vasu, listen to me.
You can kill KB if you want.
Let's talk.
What else is there to talk about?
I saved you at the station.
I made you a big man.
I was like
a father figure to you.
In anger, one doesn't think straight.
What do you mean you
can't think straight, in anger?
If you can't think straight in anger,
will you mess with my daughter?
Would you plan to kill me?
Me?
It's a mistake.
It's my mistake.
I'm accepting it.
But
just think for a moment, Vasu.
Without telling me,
didn't you run a
gambling operation?
Did you say there
was this much money?
Hey,
that was my idea.
My business.
I'm not accountable to anyone.
Have I ever cheated you?
On my land with my investment,
the factory that you built,
I've only taken what's mine
from the profits you shared.
Did I ever demand a
detailed breakdown?
Did I?
Yes.
You're right.
It's your idea, indeed.
Why should you tell me?
Forgive me.
Please.
You skanky old idiot!
Let's talk about forgiveness later.
-First, tell me where KB is.
-He's at the port.
Go and kill him.
I will protect you from the government.
Our man, Konda is here.
Whatever you say, the same
content goes into the FIR.
Please Vasu.
Let's be together
like old times.
Please!
People and hearts,
once shattered,
are difficult to mend.
Even if you stick them
together by force,
it won't be
as strong as before.
I can't kill you.
You once saved me.
I can't kill you.
I won't.
I have a moral compass.
Hey Chittibabu.
Do you want me to
tell you specifically?
KB, I'm meeting everyone
who has touched my family.
I would like to schedule
an appointment with you.
I'm coming.
Let's settle all the accounts.
Saaho sir.
Vasu is going to the port to meet KB.
The situation looks dangerous to me, sir.
KB?
KB?
Where is KB?
Where is KB?
Come on!
Go!
KB?
CBI here. Don't move.
Vasu, please surrender.
Your game is over.
If you take him with you,
he will come and take my life.
Ammoru!
His body should become a sieve!
Huh?
One
Call me whenever a need arises.
Surrender, Vasu.
The government has banned Matka.
Your notes are also banned.
Demonetization.
All the notes are banned.
If possible, please convey
my message to your government.
If they legalize Matka
and provide a license,
I'll clear all of
India's loans in one night.
Will you clear the government's loans?
Will it happen?
I don't know if it's your
arrogance or innocence.
Courage.
My courage is unadulterated.
I will clear all the loans.
Promise.
Vasu!
Government will not
bow down to criminals like you.
They won't agree to your terms.
Listen to me.
I'll make sure your jail term is reduced.
I'll talk to them.
Officer.
It's because of nice guys like you
we have rain on time and a good harvest.
Due to bad guys like me,
at least ten people
are able to eat heartily.
Nature balance.
Vasu.
Where are you going?
What will you do?
Can you live a virtuous life?
Virtue.
What's necessary for us is virtue.
As long as human desires do not die,
there will be no end to my business.
Come.
Matka has been banned
in the entire nation.
I'll reveal my new
business plan once I reach Dubai.
Prasad will be out in two months.
You look after Kolkata.
You take care of Madras.
You take care of Bengaluru.
What will you do this time?
Same!
We sell them hope.
We buy their trust.
Same old wine.
Packaged in a new bottle.
That bottle is called
cricket!
Cricket betting!
Dawood!
He will handle our
businesses in Mumbai.
He will give you directions
on what to do next.
Follow him.
I'll take your leave.
