'Thanks to all Magazines, Television,
FM Radio and media friends'
'Thandakaaranyam'
'The Dandaka Forest'
Stand straight.
You should be here on time.
Else I will complain to Ustad.
Because of you guys,
We can't be punished.
Do you understand?
Did you understand anything I said?
You filthy.
Squad! Attention!
Turn right.
Squad!
Take right turn,
Keep running faster.
Our ISGS is...
the biggest paramilitary force!
In 1965,
During the war on
the Pakistan border,
Three hundred ISGS
soldiers fought bravely
And successfully evacuated
three thousand Pakistani soldiers.
ISGS has its own distinct pride.
Although the ISGS has rendered
many services to our nation,
In our country, natural resources
such as gold and bauxite are abundant,
leading to significant
competition for business
between our domestic
and foreign investors.
However, the constant
threat and danger posed
by the Naxalites remain
a concern for them.
ISGS plays a significant
role in eliminating them.
Jharkhand, Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, Madhya
Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Chhattisgarh
are states included in the
Thandakaaranyam region witness..
Your presence in eliminating them..
..is not only a pride for
yourself but also for the nation.
Jai hind.
Squad - attention.
Squad - Stand at ease.
This isn't your typical camp.
it's something very, very special.
Despite sustaining a leg injury and
having to discontinue from the last batch
Amitabh will continue
to lead in this batch.
You must obey only your leader.
Leaving without my knowledge!
Chewing pan or smoking cigarettes,
If I find any of you doing these things!
There will be severe consequences.
In my drill
If you survive..
You can work anywhere in India,
But most of them have failed.
Some have even passed away from exhaustion.
Starting tomorrow, it will be foot
drills for the next three months.
If you pass, you can
move on to weapon training
If not
You'll join the next batch
and continue with foot drills
Be careful, our camp is also
on the Naxalites' target list.
if you are seen around with this uniform,
they might attck you, so be careful.
- Amitabh!
- Sir.
Is everyone disciplined?
Only batch no. 116 and 117 are
not following the rules, sir.
They always speak
in their native language.
Because of this, others
are getting irritated, sir.
Squad attention!
Except for the two guys from
Madras, D squad is dismissed.
Squad, left turn!
Squad, disperse.
As it is the first week of recruit
training, I am leaving you with a warning.
But, there is a punishment.
50 times around the ground.
Everyone run in the same line.
Quick.
Everyone repeat this.
Why are your legs dancing?
Do you even exercise?
You're built like a buffalo.
Fast... Fast!
Hey! Come quickly!
Quickly!
Make it fast!
Quick!
Get down on the floor and crawl!
Is this training even essential?
The enemies will shoot us easily.
Jump again!
Hey!
Are you married?
How many kids?
You have exhausted
all your energy there,
How will you be able to balance here?
Balance properly!
Do it properly.
Speed up!
Even faster!
Leave it brother!
We'll deal with him later.
Why are you always re taping
the same old cassette?
Leave it aside and do
something productive.
Hey!
Don't speak without knowing what's in it.
What song do you have
that I have not heard of?
If you're bored, I'll sing for you.
[Hums a Telugu song]
Who is that?
Move aside.
Hey!
You stay!
Why are you telling him to leave?
Aye!
Winning for just one day..
does that make you a leader?
I'm the leader here.
Whatever I tell you,
You have to follow it.
If not, I'll report you to Ustad.
Shall I?
You two are sitting together, speaking
in your language. Should I report this?
From now on, this is my place.
I will control your arrogance.
You filthies!
How dare you talk in
your Madrasi language!!
Hey!
Why are you behaving like this?
Muruga!You and Rupesh have been
assigned duty in the watchtower.
It is getting late, come soon.
[Hums a tune]
Hey!
Nowadays, I'm not even
listening to music, buddy.
Why?
It reminds me of my native place.
Mainly her.
Chuck it!
You want to say something.
Why are you hiding it, tell me.
Tell me!
What is the matter?
- Nothing!
- Hey
Tell me!
Priya enjoys listening to music a lot.
She's always listening to music
when she's alone
She knows songs that we have
never even heard of.
So whenever I listen to
music, it reminds me of her.
After that, I keep thinking about
going to my native place.
It's very painful, you know.
I won't go to my native
place without acquiring this job.
Come what may,
Even if I die!
I'll go to my native with this job.
After going home,
I will stand in this uniform in
front of the people who ill-treated me,
With pride, along with my brother.
You must stay like this till the end.
Don't get distracted. Okay?
At least you have some reason here.
"Oh Priya Priya" song plays
Hey Rupesh, let me listen to this song once
and then I'll give it back to you, please.
battery is very low, I will
change and give you tomorrow.
Hey Rupesh!
This is Priya's favourite song.
Please buddy! Let
me listen to it just once!
Hey I'm listening to a Telugu song!
Hey you won't understand,
this is a Telugu song!
Hey, it was composed by our Ilaiyaraja,
I'll understand, buddy. Give it.
"Shall the love of this
impoverished soul thrive,"
"Will night and day merge,
keeping the flame alive?"
"You and I at the distant end, with
mirage, our thirst shan't be quenched."
"Oh Priya, Priya, mine,
eternally Priya, Priya."
- Hey, be careful!
- Hey, it is not working.
Hey, it is..
Hereafter, you can't roam in the
forest all alone.
You must listen to this song, okay?
Whenever and wherever you listen.
It should remind you of me.
"You and I stand worlds apart,"
"A thirst no mirage can
soothe or start, Oh priya!"
I should be the one crying now!!
"Time is short, love runs deep;
Forever yours, my heart will keep."
"My eyes seek you,
my soul feels near,"
"In my heart, you're always here"
"All around is just a lie,
illusions dancing in disguise"
Whenever I call you to go anywhere,
you are always preoccupied with your work.
You have been obsessed
with it for the last 7 years.
What the hell is so
special about this forest?
Hey, everyday I see
you in this forest.
When you wear a saree
or half saree...
When you wash your hair,
have a flower in it, whether
you're happy or sad, you seem
beautiful to me in every way.
Same way!
For this forest as well!
When there are gusts of fresh air
Or the mist of a downpour covers the trees,
When blossoms spring,
and the autumn leaves fall
When I witness the
foot print of an Elephant
When the cuckoo coos
And the peacock sings
Or even when the water
level rises in the river stream.
Or when the deer runs away in fear,
Each day and each time, the beauty
of this forest astonishes me.
Same like you,
My grandma told me that very day.
Don't stay with
Thonthali's younger son,
He might get you pregnant
with his sweet talks.
You can only talk, never have
you taken any action
'One year back'
'2008 Thozhuvapetta village,
Krishnagiri district'
"Hey, lovely maiden, radiant and proud,
Pride and the beautiful,"
"A lamp adorned with hues
from a rain flower's shroud"
"Glowing, like turmeric
on the mountain's heart,"
"As the forest ranger,
you're my life's refrain."
"Love's reign, like a
furious elephant, unchained."
"The sheep revel, dancing
in the hills' embrace,"
"Bumps in the landscape
play melodies, leaving a trace"
Why are you coming into forest?
You eat rat meat, and
you dare to crave deer?
After everything, you're refusing now?!
I'll beat you up badly.
Are you messing with me?
Hey, hold this!
Hey, load them in the vehicle!
How dare these lowlifes crave deer meat!
Sir,please let go of my son.
You are going to stay in jail forever.
Sadaya, they have beaten
my son and wasted his life.
Sadaya, don't volunteer
for these scoundrels.
We have evidence of their crimes.
As per the law, not only the one who
committed the crime will be punished,
But also the ones who support it, will
have to face consequences.
Night after night you sit in your
'castle' making rules on your whims.
And by the morning,
we are your scapegoats?
Animals such as
elephants, deer, peacocks...
You create new laws to
hunt those animals.
And you create laws to evacuate and
harm the people who live in the forest.
Your rules can only
protect the forest,
They cannot uplift it.
Our people are indispensable
for this forest to flourish.
Listen!
If you create a scene...
I'll file a case against all the people.
The jeep won't move from here.
Open the door!
Sir, Open it!
Hey, Get down!
Leave!
Come, don't worry!
I can see that you are
getting problems every day.
yet you manage to take me to
Bangalore once a week after our marriage.
but you've never taken me
anywhere other than the market
Can you take me
somewhere else today?
Ok
"Hey, lovely maiden, radiant and proud,
Pride and the beautiful,"
Wat's up teacher?
How can you be so late?
Did I tell you that I'm a teacher?
You think I can't be a teacher?
Likewise,you too believe
that I will secure this job. Ok?
What are you talking instead of
checking the vehicle and sending it off?
Sir, I was checking the vehicles.
Ya, right!
"A cloth small, yet
mountains it may cross,"
"Gaps in ties, bring
forth a painful loss"
"You are my dear flower,
blossoming in the infertile land"
"You're the verdant
forest, my refuge and retreat"
"I'll intertwine my
breath with yours,"
"And with love, I'll scatter
it before all"
"I shall give my love
in its fullest flow."
"I'll fuse my lifespan
with yours"
"Facing time's armed stance,
undaunted we remain"
"I'll wait for that day eagerly.
I'll be like the moon, enduringly waiting."
People have arrived for the job and
you are still sleeping here. Let's go.
How dare you ignore me and go?
Hey, Muruga.
Come here.
Brother,I just came around.
I'll be back.
He doesn't take care of himself.
He keeps running around for work.
Your brother doesn't roam around
alone; he's mostly seen with Priya
"Hey, lovely maiden, radiant and proud,
Pride and the beautiful,"
Sir, can you regularise my brother's job?
Only if he gets a government
job will our life be better.
Sister, he is also like us.
How many times should I repeat this?
Like you guys?
"You're my Ekalavya,
my life belongs to you."
"You're a girl akin to a
crimson bindi, with eyes so keen,"
"I'll arrive in a chariot
and whisk you away with me"
"With roots entwined, I'll
embrace you to my chest"
"Born anew, tracing the
echoes of your footprints."
"I shall give my love
in its fullest flow."
"I'll fuse my lifespan with yours."
"When all stand opposed, let's brave
the flames and savor the honey together,"
"Beneath the mother tree's
shade, our sanctuary we'll discover."
Hey, Scoundrel.
How dare you be
with my daughter?
You uneducated brat! How dare you
think you can be with my daughter?!
Get lost.
Dear, wait.
I will also come along.
Leave me.
[Indistinct chatters]
Hey, who is that in the forest?
An elephant is wandering around here
Sister, what is this?
Don't you know what her mother did?
why did you even come with her?
Hey, teacher madam!
What does your mother think of herself?
How can she push my brother
from the truck and disrespect him?
How dare she talk about
his qualification?
Her mother is so obsessed with
marrying her to someone like a collector.
Her mother is quite different
from the people in our place.
Leave her, sister!
Wait until my brother
secures a permanent position,
I'll deal with her then.
Listen, Sister-in-law.
I know that my mother is wrong.
But your brother is so
obsessed with this forest job.
When will he get a permanent
position, and when will we get married?
With each passing day,
I'm losing my faith.
Marriage and babies, those
hopes have gone in vain.
No matter how much I
shout, he is not going to listen
An elephant is coming; let's go
to that side and collect algae.
Boss, don't worry the
lease is in our hands.
- Sir, good morning.
- Good morning.
- Good morning, sir.
- Hey, Muruga!
Go to the room and replace the
bed sheets and clean the bathroom.
Greetings, Siva.
- Greetings, Sir,
- Greetings, everyone. Please be seated.
What is he saying?
I have asked him to speak, let's see.
Hey, Sadaiya..
Shall we assign the auction to the sir?
Hello uncle, why are you
asking as if something is new?
Every year, he has been the
one taking the auction, hasn't he?
1000 tons of tamarind,
he is earning in lakhs.
I was not aware of this, but I
won't be letting it go easily anymore.
You used to threaten us,
citing the laws,
but the wildlife law itself
states that we have the rights.
Laws may state various things,
but is that what's truly important?
Our Sir is important for us.
Where will we go to acquire
so much money for the auction?
All these years..
because of him, we were able
to eat food. Did you forget that?
Hello, uncle? Did our people sit there in
his house doing nothing?
That's for the hard work
they did day and night
Despite snake and scorpion
bites, our people worked hard.
Every year, at least 10 people get
injured climbing the tree,
Has he even bothered at least once?
No one has the money
to acquire the auction.
we all should pitch in for the auction.
Are you talking in favour of them?
Don't we know who you are favouring?
If you still give the auction to them...
We will file a complaint against
you for disobeying the law.
Hey, I dare you to file the complaint
Do you think you will
survive in this forest?
Hey, the auction is done.
Go away.
All you want is..
someone from the tribe
to take the auction, right?
- Hey,
- Sir,
Write it as if the auction is being
taken in your name and sign it
Ok, sir.
What will you do now?
You can't mess with us.
I can't be honest with people like you
Get lost.
Earning money by filing cases against
people who are urinating in the forest
They are working so hard,
Have you ever given them a
single rupee wholeheartedly?
You forge the accounts and pay their
salary for someone working in your house
You think we don't know
what you guys are up to?
How dare you raise your voice?
I will kill you.
[Indistinct chatters]
Leave him.
How dare you show
your arrogance to me?
Are you here to support your brother?
Come, Siva.
My guest have arrived.
Let us deal them later.
Let me see how you
all make a living here
Welcome, brother.
Greetings, brother.
- What's the problem?
- Village panchayat.
Is everything ready, Somalingam?
Everything is ready and we've
been waiting for you since morning.
I will be back, brother.
What's up sir?
Looks like you won't be able to do it.
How much I have done to you.
What's the use?
A random guy raised his
voice, and you didn't do anything!
Hey, you.
Listen.
Let this be the last time.
It should not happen again.
Take care of it.
He couldn't even take care of this.
What makes you believe he
can get us 1, 000 or 2, 000 acres?
I'll be back.
Hey, hold on.
Hey.
From your salaries, I paid my house
servants" Who said something like that?
To get your pending payments, you
are seeking your brother's help, right?
You won't clean the house properly,
You won't look for the rocks properly,
Yet you expect your salary!
Why is it stinking?
Is this how you maintain it ?
If it is maintained like
this, how will any guests come?
Who will give the salary?
Should I be giving from my pocket?
If you want to make this job permanent,
not just this,
you should be ready to do
anything, even the dirty work
I will not spare anyone.
How dare you.... filthy!
Sir,
What is it?
It seems like elephants
have entered Kullati town
People are scared that
damages may occur, like last year.
Hey, he has been disrespecting
me. Isn't that important to you?
It is natural for the
elephants to be in the forest
Ask those people to vacate from the forest
They keep irritating me by talking
about lions and tigers entering the village
- Thank you, Sir,
- Get lost.
- Hey guys, Pack the essential materials.
- Get lost.
Hey guys, keep moving.
Hey why are you still here?
Come here.
What is it?
To chase the elephants,
Murugan is the right person
Why is it so?
Is he the only one who
can chase the elephants?
Then why are you here?
Aren't you getting paid?
- Get lost.
- Sir,
- I said, get lost.
- Ok, Sir.
Go...
Good for nothing.
Guys, move on.
Hey!
Be within your limits.
Starting tomorrow, do
your duty in the Anjetty region.
Only then will
you understand, you filthy!
How dare you bring your brother.
Roam like a dog and
get killed by the tiger,
or you yourself should quit this job
Tomorrow, your brother should come
and apologize by falling at my feet.
Muruga, this is not like
any other region.
Deep forest.
In case of an emergency,
it's not easy to get out
It's best to be cautious since
tigers roam around this area
"In solitude I stand, "
"and forsaken"
"in this wild expanse,"
"Here I linger, in silent plea, "
"A child of the woods,
summoned into its dance.
"The earth besmirches me,
"trials relentless, they swarm
You did a great job as
transferring him in that forest!
He's the one who used to
give all the info to his brother.
Now, he must be struggling
for food in the forest.
Hello Priya,
The ranger transferred Murugan to the
Anjetty region because of their grudge.
It will take one month to
complete the punishment and return.
The NGO we maintain,
If we don't have cooperation from
higher officials and local authorities...
We have to shut
down our office.
If you wish to work here,
You better not involve
in any such things.
Just concentrate on the work alone.
"In my first experience, I hearing
more sounds in this forest"
I followed them and checked;
they have a godown full of ganja.
Very good, dear.
You keep following them,
Let this issue of elephants get resolved
within one week,
we shall capture them.
Ok, Sir.
These ganja sellers are
bad to the core.
we need to be alive.
Be careful while you go to those areas?
- Do you understand?
- Yes, Sir.
- Keep it discrete.
- Yes, Sir.
I reported to the ranger
about the ganja cultivation.
I don't know whom he informed.
Suddenly, people came to shoot me
I somehow managed to escape.
Don't you know who's
smuggling ganja from the forest?
You may leave now,
I'll take care.
In Krishnagiri district,
The forest area within
Payur's wildlife preserve,
Four acres of ganja
plants have been detected,
Apart from Ganja,
Deer, elephants,
and many other wildlife have been
illegally hunted and smuggled by,
..Tholupetta Somalingam
has been arrested.
Also, Payur forest ranger Velayudam,
who was associated with this case,
has been arrested.
Accompanying Sadayan, the
welfare worker of the region,
our reporter Sudesi Mithran.
I've searched the entire office for you.
The ranger has deleted all the records
of you working here for seven years.
Sir..
I can't do anything more
than this, Muruga.
what can be done?
Today he complained about the ranger,
tomorrow he will do
the same to us.
he told them to take
you out of the job, Muruga
Sir...Sir..
What is this?
Bharani, it's crucial that
you maintain discipline
and refrain from associating with Murugan.
For seven years, you were hanging on
If you had been silent for some more days,
you would have gotten your job permanently.
It was your brother who spoiled
your career without much thinking.
There is no point in talking about
him. Where did your sense go?
Don't you know you shouldn't be
talking about the department affairs
even to your siblings?
Tell me, you know or you don't know?
Go away, it's all done now.
You have destroyed my son's career
I didn't do anything, why
are you questioning me?
Who said that my brother
is not going to have the job?
After making him work for 7
years, now you are chasing him out!
And you thought no one
would question you?
Sadaya, please don't shout.
I sincerely request you.
I can't do anything.
If someone has leaked
the name of an officer,
then it's a shame to
the whole department.
I'm telling you from my experience,
find another job for your brother.
That's the best option.
Oh, No!
Don't do that.
Let us not mess with him.
Let us leave from here.
Please, take it.
Can you feed the baby?
Bring it here, Sathya
- Can I get you something to eat?
- It's fine.
I saw what has happened
in the Ranger's office.
I felt very bad.
There is a good scope for your
brother to secure a government job
Twenty years back, my friend and I
worked together in the ISGS in Jharkhand.
Now, he started his own
ISGS coaching centre.
The guys who were sent by me...
studied well and trained well,
and now they are
settled with good money.
same thing can happen
for your brother as well.
But the only thing is that
we need to spend for it.
If your brother is over
27, he can't go for any job.
For a guy who has just
completed his 10th standard,
receiving a salary of 20, 000 rupees from
the ISGS is truly a significant thing.
Discuss with your family and come up
with a good decision.
- Shall I leave now
- Ok, sir.
I will discuss and let you know soon.
How are we going to survive
after selling the only land we have?
Our own people are
taking revenge against us,
Why are you complicating things further?
Why are you talking
like this to her?
You go and complete the procedure.
Aunty, you can question me
if what I'm saying is wrong.
What I'm telling is the
truth, and if it bothers him,
What shall I do then?
- Do as per your wish.
- Hey Sathya, where are you going? Hold on.
If he sells everything, then
what will we do for survival?
Hey listen,
He has inquired about
wherever the younger one goes,
Sadaya, please bring
your dad here.
I only want you two guys
to prosper well.
Younger brother will do well, Dad.
This is all for it only.
Take it.
"In this land where I was born,"
"I stand here all alone."
"Shattered, losing everything,"
"Sorrow fills my heart."
"This is a land of grudge,"
"Where is God now?"
"Where is God now?"
"Where is God now?"
Dear, what is it?
Do you not like the job
you are going to join?
I do like the job.
I'm going to serve my country.
I feel proud about it.
Going away from our forest,
is what really hurts.
So, leaving me and going doesn't hurt you?
Hey!
Not just the trees and
plants make this forest.
You and our love
are in it as well.
It is only for few days, right?
Then I will come along with you.
We will make our
children study in a convent.
Then we will come here
and build a home.
I have so many thoughts like this.
I will continue to live with
those thoughts all my life.
Despite that,
If I find myself thinking about you,
there's a song that both
of us enjoy, right?
I will fall asleep listening to it.
- Dear,
- Hmm...
not just now.
whenever you listen to that song,
imagine that I am also listening to it.
Ok?
It's disheartening to see our brother
..leave us and go so far away.
I'm really worried how he
is going to manage there.
I've tried a lot to
help him succeed,
but nothing has worked.
It should work out this time, at least.
He has just landed a good job at last.
Sacrifices are necessary for people
like us to pursue opportunities like this.
Let me be the one to make the sacrifices.
I just want my brother to prosper well.
Sathya..
If he secures a job,
He will be an inspiration
for others from our tribe.
And that is what I want.
Sit down.
Greetings!
Please, sit down.
You guys have the best opportunity
that nobody else will ever get.
Few years back in the government,
they introduced a scheme
for Naxal rehabilitation.
Have any of you heard about it?
No, Sir. (chorus)
No, Sir.
You guys don't even know
what Naxals mean.
It's a dangerous terrorist organisation.
They are against the people.
Our minister came up with
various plans to eradicate them.
One of them is the "Naxals
Rehabilitation Program."
In that program,
in order to discipline the
Naxals living in the forest,
the government itself
encourages them to surrender,
confiscates their weapons, and
provides compensation for them.
Apart from providing
training in ISGS,
they even help them
secure employment.
who will get such an opportunity?
In those days, there
was no such opportunities.
I felt bad about it.
Since the newly appointed D.I.G
is very close to me,
our centre has got
that opportunity.
There is a heavy competition
for getting into that scheme.
Our minister and DIG
have given a strict order
that only the underprivileged and those
from tribal communities should receive it.
He has emphasised it strictly.
- Are you all happy?
- Yes, sir. We are..
From tomorrow onwards, you
will be given guerrilla training.
Then a group photo
will be taken of all of you.
Then, for the next 15 days, you
will be kept at different places.
Whoever asks you in any way,
until you get the job,
You should say that you are naxalites.
But if you tell the truth...
You will not get any job.
You will end up in jail permanently.
- Do you understand?
- Yes, Sir. (chorus)
Whoever is interested can
come and register their names.
Training will start from tomorrow.
Are you all happy?
Yes, Sir.
Thank you.
Muruga,
what happened to you?
Aren't you interested?
I don't understand anything.
I'm confused.
Even I don't understand anything.
But we are getting the job, right?
Let's go and see.
In last two years,
Naxals have surrendered many
times in larger numbers than this time.
The trust people have in our
government keeps increasing.
Very soon, this district
will be free from Naxals.
I will accomplish this with the
help of our minister and officials.
With Naxals surrendering,
it is expected that
there will be an impact
on the upcoming state
and parliament elections.
Furthermore, the Naxals
who have surrendered..
are taken to the
rehabilitation camps.
Minister Ajith Joshy
has assured that the..
surrendered Naxals
will be given a new life.
In eradicating Naxals,
and working efficiently in
the crime prevention unit,
DIG Ankit Kumar Mishra
has been promoted to IG.
The minister assures that
among the surrendered Naxalites,
qualified ones will be selected for the
ISGS, observed, trained and employed.
Go in line.
Keep going.
(shouting in pain)
After killing so many
policemen and then surrendering,
Did you really think
you'd get a government job?
Let's see how you guys
handle training with a broken leg,
filthy naxals.
Priya, don't come to see me like this.
I'll visit you once I've secured the job.
I surrendered, admitting I'm a Naxalite.
After surrendering,
they didn't just torture me in jail
I'm facing the same treatment
at the ISGS training centre
I'll make it, somehow,
and secure the job.
I'll make it, somehow,
and secure the job, Priya.
You wait for me .
You wait for me .
Hey, Get up.
Hey, Muruga, please come.
You just mentioned your ambition,
You said you'd only return
home after getting the job.
I'm telling you now: we'll go
home only after we secure our jobs.
Not just us, but the whole
town will feel surprised.
Hey, move aside.
Move aside.
Keep moving.
How dare you?
I could bare their torture
instead of eating this.
Everyone go out.
I'm going to conduct foot drill here.
If you are don't come,
I will complain to Ustad.
You will be punished if you arrive late.
Get out.
I said, get out.
Hey, madrasi, do you understand?
These two guys are talking bad
about you in their native language.
This is their territory; that's
why they're torturing us
We must not fall for it.
Even the broker told
us that these
North Indians will see us
South Indians as inferiors.
Fighting doesn't matter.
What matters is securing
the job and getting back home.

This lowlife from nowhere!
How dare he show his tactics to me.
I will make him undergo the pain.
Brother,
- Shall we spread the blanket for him?
- Hey..
Why are you talking? keep moving fast.
You have to run three more rounds.
Keep moving.
Kick him.
How dare you..
Let's not spare him.
Hey, Amitabh, punch him in the stomach.
Who is that running there?
Muruga, what happened?
Guys, lift him up.
Muruga, get up.
what happened?
It is bleeding, oh my god.
who did this?
Muruga, tell me who did this to you?
What happened?
let's go and inform this to Ustad?
No need to go to Ustad.
why?
If we report to him,
He won't ask any questions
instead he'll just punish me as well.
They will not keep calm.
You are not allowing me
to report this to the Ustad.
Stop the vehicle.
Password?
Fire.
Water
Go.
Hey Muruga,
What is the issue between
you and Amitabh?
You two are always seen fighting each other
Even I was like you guys
during my training days;
I used to fight with everyone.
One day, while on duty, I fainted,
The people I had fought with
were the ones who came to save me
I can tell you one thing,
If a Naxalite comes and shoots at us,
only then we fight together,
we can save ourselves
and those who are inside.
I've learned from experience:
it's okay to adjust things.
Amitabh
Hey, that's his left over.
Hey!
Hey Amitabh, he is insulting
you by giving his left over food.
Should I eat your left overs?
No, Amitabh..
- Muruga,
- What happened?
They covered me with a blanket
and hit me, just like they did to you
They left, and I couldn't
see who they were
Who could it be?
These lowlife Madras guys went
and complained to Ustad, right?
I showed what we are capable of.
From now on, these lowlifes
will stay far away from us.
Now, go and complain to Ustad.
When there is a fight, both
of them should be punished.
Are you ready for the punishment?
You filthiest!
Hey Ustad has arrived.
Who was involved in the fight here?
I'm asking right? Tell me.
Will you guys tell me or not?
Let me show you how I
can make you guys talk.
Do it faster.
You won't tell when I ask, right?
Keep doing this until sunrise.
Come on. Keep going.
Hey, what are you doing? Do it properly.
Come, come back.
Hey, you get up. Listen to me.
Could you please get up?
Do it properly.
Keep moving.
Hurry up. Keep moving.
How is it possible for
one person to fight alone?
I guessed it could be you two only.
I will call after meeting DC.
Better be ready to go from here.
You came out in disagreement, so
you expect us to leave this forest?
You can survive only with this job.
Those days we were just
scared of seeing the uniform.
Do you know how proud I am
to see my son in that uniform?
Please don't crush my ambitions.
We have lost every asset of us.
Our brother is left with nothing.
You have to secure
the job and return back.
He roams in the forest, and
how dare he want my daughter?
What makes you to
talk about "qualification"
As the son of Thondali, I assure you that I
will secure a reputable job for my brother
even if it means spilling my blood
You already lost your job.
How will you get a new job
at your age and succeed?
Ustad
If they stay any longer, they'll ruin
everyone. Send them out immediately!
Why has your attitude changed?
Don't you want the government job?
Only to lead a peaceful life,
You have come here by
surrendering as a naxal, right?
Sir, you can punish me
however you want?
but,
Please don't send me back home, Sir.
My brother and my father..
sent me here by selling
everything they had.
In this situation, if they
see me, they will die, sir.
Sorry, Sir.
With respect to what Ustad has told,
It doesn't look like you
are a responsible person.
I will..
..apologize to Amitabh.
If I'm leaving from here, I
have to leave with the job, sir.
Else my family's future will be at stake.
Please, Sir.
Please accept my apology
for this one time, sir.
Please, Sir.
Sorry, Sir.
Ustad, Come here.
Yes, Sir.
For three days, do not give
them anything except water.
Put these two,
..in quarter jail.
Seeing them suffer, other
people will learn their lesson.
This is the last warning.
You may go.
- Yes, Sir.
- Thank you, Sir.
Hey..
Are you really a naxalite?
No matter how many times you
ask me, I am a Naxal only.
I've been living in the
forest for many years.
Why do you ask me questions like this?
Because I'm also a naxalite.
The training center you came from,
I also trained at that same center.
Go in line.
Keep moving.
In order to secure the job, I too
surrendered as a Naxalite and came here
In that case, I'm the senior to you.
Even I'm like you..
after selling my land,
I have left my wife and
kid and come here.
Give a kiss to daddy.
Brother,
It's time. Let's go.
The thoughts of my kid kept
occurring every single second.
I requested the officials to grant
me permission to visit my daughter,
but nobody allowed me to go.
Instead, they asked me to
leave after securing the job.
I couldn't be like that.
So I decided to escape one
day to go to my native place.
Only after I got there,
I came to know that since I
surrendered, claiming to be a Naxalite,
The police have filed many
unfinished cases against me.
In the name of inquiry,
they have tortured my family.
Because of that, my wife
and my kid have left the town.
I searched everywhere,
and I couldn't find them.
I couldn't live anywhere else either.
Because the news of my surrender as a
Naxalite got published along with my photo,
people easily identify me.
Some of them even inform the police.
To be free from any legal issues,
and to live with my family,
I have to become a ISGS police,
so I came back.
On my first day back, they broke my
legs as punishment for running away.
I was bedridden for few days.
only then I understood one thing,
People who surrendered,
claiming to be Naxalites like us,
There seem to be over 500 of us
in this camp, all waiting to get jobs
500 People?
more than that.
only the newcomers like us are kept here.
those who have completed
the training are kept somewhere else.
only then I understood one thing,
here,
People who obey the higher
officials got selected earlier.
That's why I did all
sorts of jobs for ustad.
but,
..the DC selected you as the leader.
Now both of us are blacklisted.
So they won't select us at all?
If we perform well,
they will select us.
Along with that, if we get a good name
with Ustad, we can get selected soon.
hey..
By performing well,
We can forget all this.
Because you surrendered as a Naxalite,
The police must be
torturing your family now.
Ma'am, Is Murugan's house nearby?
- Yes, It's my brother's house only.
- Kindly call them.
quick..
- Sathya..
- Yes,
Someone is here asking for Murugan,
Who is this?
who are you?
Are you related to Murugan?
- Yes, he is our brother-in-law only.
- call someone else from the family.
My husband is in the farm, I'll call him.
Aunty, come here.
come.
Someone is here asking
for Murugan's brother.
This is my uncle and aunt.
Yes.
A photo has been published here.
See and tell me who is your son in this.
Sir, this is my son.
Look, our son's photo has been
published in the newspaper.
My son has become a police. Look here.
Instead of sending your son to the
army, you have made him a Naxalite.
Look at the way you
have brought up your son.
Get up.
Get everyone into the vehicle.
How dare you hit a police officer?
Catch him
Who are you?
Why are you hitting him?
What mistake has he done?
You didn't raise a good son.
You old man! Get up
Leave him!
Oh no!
Drag him away.
Take him into the jeep
Dear!
Listen, here.
Sadayan has made his
brother join a terrorist group.
No idea about how many
he would have done this to.
No one should be in touch with him, and
he should not be allowed to enter the town.
Sir, leave me
Just go
I hereby inform our villagers that..
..since Sadayan escaped from the police,
The Police are searching for
him everywhere in the forest.
So if you see Sadayan,
or if he gets in touch with you
you should inform the police.
Lift him up.
How dare... Die you filthy being...
Die.. Die..
Filthy creature, how
dare you go against me?
How dare you file a case against me.
How dare you form an
association, bloody lowlife.
hey,
His death should create
fear in the region.
Scoundrel,
Are you messing with me?
How dare you spit on me?
Die, you low life.
(Yelling in pain)
Sir, you can leave.
I will deal with him.
Squad - Stand at ease.
Squad - Attention.

Amitabh, you could have
been a bit more careful.
Hey, Let's go.
Hey Gaurav,
hey,
You come.
From now on, you stay with him.
Don't bother about them. You come.
Here, have this.
Why are you looking so dull?
I'm also going to run in
the drill test tomorrow.
How are you going to
run with this injured leg?
I asked for permission
from Ustad, but he rejected it.
It seems like the
officials are very strict.
out of 100, they will
be selecting only 25.
He also said that they might look
for some reasons for not selecting.
If I think about my daughter, I will
even climb up the Himalayas.
You will do it, buddy.
Have your meal.
Hey, Rupesh,
You are a naxalite, right?
From my face, can't you see
that I'm a hardcore Naxalite?
Oh,
So, you were torturing me all these
days without knowing about me, huh?
- Hey..
- hold on.
Let him talk,
It is time for us to tell
the world who we are.
Keep quiet, buddy.
You carry on.
Do you know which category
I belong to?
how many gunfights, and how many
operations I have been a part of?
Do you know how many lives of
officials I have taken using grenades?
- hey, keep quiet.
- please, wait.
He himself doesn't know about me fully.
Not in one state or two states,
Officials from every state are looking
for me with a separate search team.
When you go out and
tell that you know Rupesh,
you will be kept in prison and
you can't come out for 21 years.
Please Keep quiet.
Fine,
which forest you were in?
Thandakaaranyam forest.
heard about it?
The most dense forest in
the world. Have you seen it ?
Nobody knows how
I will be in the forest.
I am in every part of the forest.
I am the forest.
- Hey, Please keep quiet, buddy.
- Wait
Was there a fox named Mongia in the
Thandakaaranyam forest where you were?
Yeah.
Did that fox approach you
after entering the forest?
and say that you have gotten an
opportunity which no one has got before?
yeah. It did.
Didn't you pay 5 lakhs to
that fox to enter the forest?
yeah.
Everyone has come from there.
Why you didn't tell me this before?
Stupid!
But I didn't pay 5 lakhs fully;
a balance of 5000 is there.
No one can fool me completely.
8 kilometres from here, Ustad is standing.
You should get the token from him
and return back here at the earliest.
If you return back in 30 minutes,
Excellent.
33 minutes - good.
35 minutes - ok.
anything beyond that,
No one will get to the weapon training.
For the next 3 months, you
will have to do drill practise only.
got it?
So, it's going to be drill practise only.
If anyone crosses paths or
clashes with someone intentionally,
If you do anything like this,
there will be heavy punishment.
Hey, get up
No, I couldn't...
Ustad, go and check quick.
Yes, Sir.
- I lost it.
- hold this.
- You go,
- No, I don't want.
- Go
- Then what about you?
Keep going, buddy.
No one is here, Looks
like I have arrived first.
Hey, did everyone get the token?
how come he is here?
Hello, Sir.
Daddy..
Daddy.
Chest number 52
Excellent.
Hey Muruga,
Hello!
If you keep spending like this,
how can we manage the expenses?
Is the government funding
for running the camp?
We are able to run the camp
because of the funding by the minister.
Do you understand?
Have some control over the expenses.
Am I taking along everything?
I'm giving you everything, right?
ISGS soldiers are continuously
dying because of Naxalite attacks.
From the Home Minister
to the media,
everyone is torturing me
with their questions.
If I don't take immediate action,
he is shouting that it will affect
his party's results in all the elections.
He is threatening me, saying,
"Is it for this that I made you IG?"
Now, they are going to
announce the election date.
I have spoke to the minister,
There is a good news.
In our operation,
Postings and medal has to be given.
Sure, Sir.
we are doing this for
the minister, particularly.
Let some days go by, then
we shall take the camp list.
- Ok, Sir.
- Ok.
Let this be confidential.
The date for the
parliamentary election,
will be announced by the
Election Commission of India today.
On behalf of the announcement
of the election date,
Strict laws have been imposed
throughout for the state's security.
The paramilitary force has been deployed.
election procedure directives
will be effective from tomorrow
Hey,

Everyone in your family
passed away hanging here.
Accept that you committed the crimes
for which cases were filed against me.
Hey, bring his father here.
Hey, ask your son to accept.
Tell him to accept.
Hey, ask your son to accept.
hey, filthy!
I will beat your father to death.
Hey, accept it.
Hey!
I will beat your father
to death. Better accept it.
Accept it, you lowlifes.
Accept it, you lowlifes.
You...
Hey, accept it.
Hey, accept it.
Don't kill him anytime soon.
He should die slowly,
suffering in our tortures.
you will see your father's death.
Don't accept, son.
Hey, the list has come.
Without selecting me, how are they
going to ensure the safety of the nation?
Hey, Amitabh, your
name is there on the list.
- Super, buddy.
- Is my name there?
What about you?
If my name didn't come up, no problem, I'm
happy that your name is on the list.
Hey, come here.
Go away, my name is
not there on the list.
Don't worry about it. I'm just
glad you'll go and see your kid.
Ask them about their daughter.
- Greetings everyone.
- greetings.
How are you all doing?
Are you the one sent by Muniappan?
Yes, we were sent by Muniappan.
Alright then.
Priya,hold this.
They have seen you, right? Then
ask them to leave after having tea.
Hey, stay quiet.
Get away from here.
or get lost.
Why are you torturing me?
Go and die somewhere.
Go to jail and eat porridge with him.
Not at all listening to me.
(indistinct voices)
Priya, please stay calm.
Let us leave from here.
I'll hit both of you
with the broomstick.
This was your mother's
plan, I'm not involved.
This is my grandfather's house.
It's my wish to stay here.
If he comes out of
prison, I will go with him.
Or, I will run the family,
bringing him here.
Are you telling me to die?
I won't give up so soon.
In such a case, I will kill
you all before.
Hey Priya, hold on.
Don't go, Wait.
What are you thinking about?
Are you worried that your
name is not been on the list?
Your name will be on the next list.
Hey,
It's not about that.
I'm happy that you got selected
rather than me getting selected.
At least you will go
home and see your child.
Then why are you like this?
I don't feel anything
when you guys are around.
But When I'm alone, I keep
thinking about my home.
I've been longing to go back home
and talk to my people.
I just need to sit and
talk from my heart.
What is this buddy?
So, you didn't speak to
me from your heart?
Hey, it's not like that,
The questions you ask me,
I'm answering with yes or no
without understanding the language.
Do you know how many
months it has been since..
I have spoken from my
heart in my language?
Here,
To the bathroom, trees,
and the wall,
I'm talking to them
like a mad person.
I will tell you something,
Across that wall, there are
many trucks for taking out beedi leaves,
and one phone booth will be open throughout
the night for them to make calls.
you have the number
of the forest officer, right?
Call him and ask someone from
your family to talk to you, okay?
You can tell them about your situation
and assure them that you will come soon.
They should know how
you are doing here.
Don't keep thinking.
I won't be here tomorrow.
You won't get a better
opportunity than this.
You better do this.
Brother,
Can I make a phone call?
Hello,
- Is Barani there,
- Hey, Muruga,
It's me Barani,
Where are you?
How have you been?
They have been saying
that you are in prison.
Whatever happened, I
will come and tell in person.
I'm perfectly fine now,
I will come home soon securing a job
Just inform my people
not to be worried about me.
Hey Bharani,
Can you go and bring someone
from my house, I will wait here.
Sure, please hold on. I
will go and bring them.
In the weapon go down, who
has been assigned duty today?
Amitabh and Murugan, Sir.
How dare you try to escape?
Are you a police?
On your knees.
I said, on your knees.
Who are you?
Where are you from?
How many of you are here?
What is your plan?
Search him.
See, if he has any weapons.
Check properly.
Are you going to tell me or not?
If you don't answer me, I will shoot you.
Are you a policeman?
I came here to make a phone call.
Hey!
Who are you?
I'm a lorry driver.
He is my assistant.
Don't you have any responsibility?
Stop it.
I'm talking to you
why are you hitting him?
We brought the goods.
It got delayed.
He came here to make a
phone call and I slept off.
Goods are in the truck.
If it is delayed, my owner
will shout at me.
Is he telling the truth?
Yes, Sir.
Sorry, sorry, brother.
If it is delayed, my owner

Hey..
Where is Amitabh?
Go and see outside
instead of asking me.
It ain't my job to look for him.
Section Commando, did
you check everything?
Everybody should be in as per the order.
Everybody, keep your
belongings under your feet.
Keep going.
You were in deep sleep, buddy.
Also, I didn't know how to tell you.
That's why I left without
informing you. Sorry, buddy.
- Not fair.
- Muruga.
I will join the job and
go to my native only.
I will tell my daughter that
you brought this change in me.
- Amitabh..
- Sir.
Muruga, I have written my
address in your suitcase.
Come to my place with Priya.
Come and visit me.
I have kept something which you like.
- Get in the truck.
- Go and see you will like it.
Keep moving.
Muruga, Bye.
"Oh Priya Priya.
"Will this poor soul's love prevail?
Will day and night become one?"
"We stand on opposite ends,
For a long time, I have had one wish.
I don't know the reason behind it.
But it is a recurring desire.
I don't know if this is
happening only to me,
Or it has happened to
other girls as well.
No one is here, right?
You, me and the forest..
also the moon, right?
Yes.
Like you,
I want to get rid of my clothes,
Dip our legs in this river stream,
And keep walking
until the end of the forest?
Why until the end of the forest?
Because after the forest, there
will be the town, so... that's why.
So?
If the town comes, everything will follow.
everything means?
caste, religion,
prestige, position,
brother, sister, uncle, aunty,
men, women and so much..
Then how can I enter the town?
Here, by wearing these
clothes which you removed!
If you want to enter the town, you have
to wear the clothes which you removed.
All these days you were
wearing it and walking.
Here, it's all yours.
Here, take it.
But I don't want.
Oh, No. I also don't want.
I will stay like this with you.
Hey, Muruga, Wake up, the
training centre has come.
Give it.
Stack it up in the storeroom.
Be careful.
To attend the parliamentary election
Internal Affairs Minister
Ajith Joshi who has arrived,
Naxal gang dressed up
as ISGS
Staged a bomb attack where
the minister narrowly escaped.
During the search and
hunt operation,
In the fight between ISGS IG led by
Ankit Kumar Mishra
and the Naxalites...
Including the leader Amitabh,
13 other Naxals were shot dead.
The IG and other officials are receiving
nationwide appreciation for this operation.
Buddy,I have written my
address in your suitcase.
I have also kept something you like.
You go and check it out.
You will like it.
My dear friend,
Right from my childhood days,
I have been living in pain,
losing my parents and my home.
Each and every day,
In this camp, I have been
roaming with my old memories.
The days I lean on your shoulders ..
are the days when I forget my sufferings
I can never forget these good days.
In this address,
I'll be waiting to see
you along with Priya
Yours Amitabh.
We are living a unpleasant life.
Can't you see our sufferings?
My son who went to
serve the nation,
..Should return back with a job.
Lord Veerabadra.
Take me instead of my sons.
Make my sons lead a happy life.
Hey, Sadaya, No...
Hey Sadaya!
Sadaya, I don't know
what happened there.
I didn't do any mistakes.
I'm gonna kill you.
Dear, how are you?
I'm just being alive.
Didn't our daughter come?
She didn't come.
Did she ask about her father?
Yes, she is asking about you.
What should I tell?
As if I'm happy roaming the
forest, leaving you and our people!
I don't have a choice.
I entered the forest.
If she asks where her father is,
point to this forest from our town's rock.
I will be here in this forest.
Dear, please don't go.
Dear, please don't go.
I'll come with you too.
Don't be afraid if
the police stop you.
I will be watching you.
Keep going bravely.
Dear, please come back, at
least for our daughter's sake.
You were just a DSP,
but I promoted you to
IG in just two years.
Because you promised
me a Naxal-free district.
I announced that scheme
in the Parliament.
What happened now?
As I promised, every month,
I'm releasing the funds
to you and the camp.
What have you done to me?
- Do you understand?
- Yes, sir.
Hey Muruga, our name
has come on the list.
Our name has
come on the list.
I thought about it the last time itself,
How can they leave out our names
even after perfect training and fitness?
But now they have included our names!
Your name is first on the list
and my name is second.
Hey..
I'm telling you such a big news,
then why are you upset?
Didn't we wait for this day, enduring
all the pain inflicted by Ustad?
Our whole family and
our entire village are
waiting for this moment,
and why are you like this?
It's my mistake informing you about this.
My name is reflected on the list.
My name is reflected on the list.
Both of our names
are on the list
I will become a
high-ranking officer,
Return to this camp, and
be the boss to Ustad.
You wait and see.
There were times when just a sight
of a uniform terrified us.
Do you know how happy it makes me
to see my boy in this uniform?
It feels like I am seeing my God
Veera Bhadran' up close
No matter how much
ever one is rich,
Can anyone afford this uniform?
It is not possible,right?
Doesn't wearing this
uniform give us courage?
Listen,brother.
There are a thousand occupations,
but the respect the uniformed officers of
the navy, police and forest get,
is unmatched.
IG wants you to do this operation.
We believe that you
will do it successfully.
This should be the
sensational news of tomorrow.
Ok, sir.
- Be careful.
- Yes, sir.
Hey,
- What dude?
- Look here
What?
Here...
What is it?
- Why are you dragging me?
- Wait, listen
- No one can hear us,
- Please try to understand.
What is so important
to share it here?
Look here
Look at this
They have shot Amitabh, and our
10 guys are being framed as terrorists.
Oh no...
Stay calm, please.
Are they going to kill us as well?
Even if we give any
reasons, they won't spare us.
Anyway, they're going
to beat us to death.
Buddy,I can't be here anymore.
Muruga, please save me.
Please listen to me.
What will my family do without me?
(sobbing)
Listen to me.
Please...
Stay calm..
I don't think we'll have
a chance for survival.
Head to the room as if
you're going to take something.
Somehow escape by
jumping the compound wall.
The only way is...
We need to inform our fellow
mates whose names are on the list,
We have to save them.
Even if we all die,
Buddy,
You have to go out and tell the truth,
and save the other 500 people stuck here.
Hey!
They are going to
kill us for sure
How dare you try to escape...
Look at what I'm going to
do to you; you're gonna die.
This is the leg that ran,
right? Let me break this.
Muruga, run away from here
Lock him up. Seeing
him, others should know
what will happen trying
to escape from here.
Anyone who thinks of escaping
from here should see this and feel fear.
Why are you shouting?
This is going to be the same for
everyone who thinks of escaping from here.
How dare you try to escape from here.
Lock him up in quarter jail.
Squad forward
Quick.
Keep moving quick.
Hey, Keep moving. Quick.
Keep moving.
"Mighty forest, oh mighty forest!"
"You, the womb and
the seed, mighty forest!"
"Time is our adversary."
"The mighty forest must not crumble."
"Let's strike hard, together!"
"With anger in our eyes
and sharp claws,"
"Let's march forward roaring!"
"When the forest is
but a hair to the mountain,"
"I hold onto your thoughts"
"When leaves gather to play music,"
"I'm entranced by your scent"
"I'll hold onto you through
any storm, come what may."
"I would have stitched ten-headed
Ravana onto me and lived my life."
"With faces veiled in falsehood,"
"our swords shall sever roots"
"Tomorrow, our sun rises,
casting shadows to refute"
"With stones, arrows, and our past"
"we will keep marching forward."
Hey, Muruga.
What happened?
Tell me what is bothering you?
Stay calm, please.
Everyone is happy and
why are you sad?
Guys, look at this.
Hey, keep quiet.
Hey, come here.
Where has the truck reached?
Sir, I'm on the way.
Truck is following us.
Media is ready and please
convey it to the minister.
Let us try to escape from here.
Got it?
What is that?
- I asked, what's that in your hand?
- Nothing, Sir.
Kill him.
How dare you form a gang?
Get ready, everybody.
Alert.
Hey stop.
No one should escape from here.
Even if one escapes, we
will end up in prison.
Quick,follow the truck.
Everybody run!
Round up now.
Getting fast.
Run.
Comrade, what happened?
Guys, run.
Muruga, come along.
You keep going.
You said serving
the nation is sacred.
Now, what happened
to that sacredness?
Just for the sake of
money and power
You are killing us.
How can you stand before
your god without shame?
The food you eat
it has our blood in it, doesn't it?
By tomorrow, the stench of our dead
bodies will spread across the country.
"As I cook millet rice and curry.
"We wait for your arrival.
"have you lost your way.
have you lost your way."
"Keeping you in my heart,"
"Blood drips like milk."
"Now the ground absorbs it."
As a kid, I dreamed of joining
the army and serving the nation
They have destroyed
the dreams of many of us
They made false promises and
forced us to surrender as Naxalites.
They killed whoever was there with us.
The new DGP
and other higher officials
have conducted the fake camp in
the name of ARPF training centre.
Five hundred more people
like us are still trapped.
I sincerely request to save them.
More than 500 youngsters are
held up in fake camps.
They have conducted fake
encounters by framing them as Naxalites.
Those responsible for
this will face legal action.
This is a plot by the opposition party.
I will prove my innocence
in the court of law.
'After few months'
'Thanks to all Magazines, Television,
FM Radio and media friends'
'Thandakaaranyam'
'The Dandaka Forest'
Stand straight.
You should be here on time.
Else I will complain to Ustad.
Because of you guys,
We can't be punished.
Do you understand?
Did you understand anything I said?
You filthy.
Squad! Attention!
Turn right.
Squad!
Take right turn,
Keep running faster.
Our ISGS is...
the biggest paramilitary force!
In 1965,
During the war on
the Pakistan border,
Three hundred ISGS
soldiers fought bravely
And successfully evacuated
three thousand Pakistani soldiers.
ISGS has its own distinct pride.
Although the ISGS has rendered
many services to our nation,
In our country, natural resources
such as gold and bauxite are abundant,
leading to significant
competition for business
between our domestic
and foreign investors.
However, the constant
threat and danger posed
by the Naxalites remain
a concern for them.
ISGS plays a significant
role in eliminating them.
Jharkhand, Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, Madhya
Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Chhattisgarh
are states included in the
Thandakaaranyam region witness..
Your presence in eliminating them..
..is not only a pride for
yourself but also for the nation.
Jai hind.
Squad - attention.
Squad - Stand at ease.
This isn't your typical camp.
it's something very, very special.
Despite sustaining a leg injury and
having to discontinue from the last batch
Amitabh will continue
to lead in this batch.
You must obey only your leader.
Leaving without my knowledge!
Chewing pan or smoking cigarettes,
If I find any of you doing these things!
There will be severe consequences.
In my drill
If you survive..
You can work anywhere in India,
But most of them have failed.
Some have even passed away from exhaustion.
Starting tomorrow, it will be foot
drills for the next three months.
If you pass, you can
move on to weapon training
If not
You'll join the next batch
and continue with foot drills
Be careful, our camp is also
on the Naxalites' target list.
if you are seen around with this uniform,
they might attck you, so be careful.
- Amitabh!
- Sir.
Is everyone disciplined?
Only batch no. 116 and 117 are
not following the rules, sir.
They always speak
in their native language.
Because of this, others
are getting irritated, sir.
Squad attention!
Except for the two guys from
Madras, D squad is dismissed.
Squad, left turn!
Squad, disperse.
As it is the first week of recruit
training, I am leaving you with a warning.
But, there is a punishment.
50 times around the ground.
Everyone run in the same line.
Quick.
Everyone repeat this.
Why are your legs dancing?
Do you even exercise?
You're built like a buffalo.
Fast... Fast!
Hey! Come quickly!
Quickly!
Make it fast!
Quick!
Get down on the floor and crawl!
Is this training even essential?
The enemies will shoot us easily.
Jump again!
Hey!
Are you married?
How many kids?
You have exhausted
all your energy there,
How will you be able to balance here?
Balance properly!
Do it properly.
Speed up!
Even faster!
Leave it brother!
We'll deal with him later.
Why are you always re taping
the same old cassette?
Leave it aside and do
something productive.
Hey!
Don't speak without knowing what's in it.
What song do you have
that I have not heard of?
If you're bored, I'll sing for you.
[Hums a Telugu song]
Who is that?
Move aside.
Hey!
You stay!
Why are you telling him to leave?
Aye!
Winning for just one day..
does that make you a leader?
I'm the leader here.
Whatever I tell you,
You have to follow it.
If not, I'll report you to Ustad.
Shall I?
You two are sitting together, speaking
in your language. Should I report this?
From now on, this is my place.
I will control your arrogance.
You filthies!
How dare you talk in
your Madrasi language!!
Hey!
Why are you behaving like this?
Muruga!You and Rupesh have been
assigned duty in the watchtower.
It is getting late, come soon.
[Hums a tune]
Hey!
Nowadays, I'm not even
listening to music, buddy.
Why?
It reminds me of my native place.
Mainly her.
Chuck it!
You want to say something.
Why are you hiding it, tell me.
Tell me!
What is the matter?
- Nothing!
- Hey
Tell me!
Priya enjoys listening to music a lot.
She's always listening to music
when she's alone
She knows songs that we have
never even heard of.
So whenever I listen to
music, it reminds me of her.
After that, I keep thinking about
going to my native place.
It's very painful, you know.
I won't go to my native
place without acquiring this job.
Come what may,
Even if I die!
I'll go to my native with this job.
After going home,
I will stand in this uniform in
front of the people who ill-treated me,
With pride, along with my brother.
You must stay like this till the end.
Don't get distracted. Okay?
At least you have some reason here.
"Oh Priya Priya" song plays
Hey Rupesh, let me listen to this song once
and then I'll give it back to you, please.
battery is very low, I will
change and give you tomorrow.
Hey Rupesh!
This is Priya's favourite song.
Please buddy! Let
me listen to it just once!
Hey I'm listening to a Telugu song!
Hey you won't understand,
this is a Telugu song!
Hey, it was composed by our Ilaiyaraja,
I'll understand, buddy. Give it.
"Shall the love of this
impoverished soul thrive,"
"Will night and day merge,
keeping the flame alive?"
"You and I at the distant end, with
mirage, our thirst shan't be quenched."
"Oh Priya, Priya, mine,
eternally Priya, Priya."
- Hey, be careful!
- Hey, it is not working.
Hey, it is..
Hereafter, you can't roam in the
forest all alone.
You must listen to this song, okay?
Whenever and wherever you listen.
It should remind you of me.
"You and I stand worlds apart,"
"A thirst no mirage can
soothe or start, Oh priya!"
I should be the one crying now!!
"Time is short, love runs deep;
Forever yours, my heart will keep."
"My eyes seek you,
my soul feels near,"
"In my heart, you're always here"
"All around is just a lie,
illusions dancing in disguise"
Whenever I call you to go anywhere,
you are always preoccupied with your work.
You have been obsessed
with it for the last 7 years.
What the hell is so
special about this forest?
Hey, everyday I see
you in this forest.
When you wear a saree
or half saree...
When you wash your hair,
have a flower in it, whether
you're happy or sad, you seem
beautiful to me in every way.
Same way!
For this forest as well!
When there are gusts of fresh air
Or the mist of a downpour covers the trees,
When blossoms spring,
and the autumn leaves fall
When I witness the
foot print of an Elephant
When the cuckoo coos
And the peacock sings
Or even when the water
level rises in the river stream.
Or when the deer runs away in fear,
Each day and each time, the beauty
of this forest astonishes me.
Same like you,
My grandma told me that very day.
Don't stay with
Thonthali's younger son,
He might get you pregnant
with his sweet talks.
You can only talk, never have
you taken any action
'One year back'
'2008 Thozhuvapetta village,
Krishnagiri district'
"Hey, lovely maiden, radiant and proud,
Pride and the beautiful,"
"A lamp adorned with hues
from a rain flower's shroud"
"Glowing, like turmeric
on the mountain's heart,"
"As the forest ranger,
you're my life's refrain."
"Love's reign, like a
furious elephant, unchained."
"The sheep revel, dancing
in the hills' embrace,"
"Bumps in the landscape
play melodies, leaving a trace"
Why are you coming into forest?
You eat rat meat, and
you dare to crave deer?
After everything, you're refusing now?!
I'll beat you up badly.
Are you messing with me?
Hey, hold this!
Hey, load them in the vehicle!
How dare these lowlifes crave deer meat!
Sir,please let go of my son.
You are going to stay in jail forever.
Sadaya, they have beaten
my son and wasted his life.
Sadaya, don't volunteer
for these scoundrels.
We have evidence of their crimes.
As per the law, not only the one who
committed the crime will be punished,
But also the ones who support it, will
have to face consequences.
Night after night you sit in your
'castle' making rules on your whims.
And by the morning,
we are your scapegoats?
Animals such as
elephants, deer, peacocks...
You create new laws to
hunt those animals.
And you create laws to evacuate and
harm the people who live in the forest.
Your rules can only
protect the forest,
They cannot uplift it.
Our people are indispensable
for this forest to flourish.
Listen!
If you create a scene...
I'll file a case against all the people.
The jeep won't move from here.
Open the door!
Sir, Open it!
Hey, Get down!
Leave!
Come, don't worry!
I can see that you are
getting problems every day.
yet you manage to take me to
Bangalore once a week after our marriage.
but you've never taken me
anywhere other than the market
Can you take me
somewhere else today?
Ok
"Hey, lovely maiden, radiant and proud,
Pride and the beautiful,"
Wat's up teacher?
How can you be so late?
Did I tell you that I'm a teacher?
You think I can't be a teacher?
Likewise,you too believe
that I will secure this job. Ok?
What are you talking instead of
checking the vehicle and sending it off?
Sir, I was checking the vehicles.
Ya, right!
"A cloth small, yet
mountains it may cross,"
"Gaps in ties, bring

undaunted we remain"
"I'll wait for that day eagerly.
I'll be like the moon, enduringly waiting."
People have arrived for the job and
you are still sleeping here. Let's go.
How dare you ignore me and go?
Hey, Muruga.
Come here.
Brother,I just came around.
I'll be back.
He doesn't take care of himself.
He keeps running around for work.
Your brother doesn't roam around
alone; he's mostly seen with Priya
"Hey, lovely maiden, radiant and proud,
Pride and the beautiful,"
Sir, can you regularise my brother's job?
Only if he gets a government
job will our life be better.
Sister, he is also like us.
How many times should I repeat this?
Like you guys?
"You're my Ekalavya,
my life belongs to you."
"You're a girl akin to a

Hey, Scoundrel.
How dare you be
with my daughter?
You uneducated brat! How dare you
think you can be with my daughter?!
Get lost.
Dear, wait.
I will also come along.
Leave me.
[Indistinct chatters]
Hey, who is that in the forest?
An elephant is wandering around here
Sister, what is this?
Don't you know what her mother did?
why did you even come with her?
Hey, teacher madam!
What does your mother think of herself?
How can she push my brother
from the truck and disrespect him?
How dare she talk about
his qualification?
Her mother is so obsessed with
marrying her to someone like a collector.
Her mother is quite different
from the people in our place.
Leave her, sister!
Wait until my brother
secures a permanent position,
I'll deal with her then.
Listen, Sister-in-law.
I know that my mother is wrong.
But your brother is so
obsessed with this forest job.
When will he get a permanent
position, and when will we get married?
With each passing day,
I'm losing my faith.
Marriage and babies, those
hopes have gone in vain.
No matter how much I
shout, he is not going to listen
An elephant is coming; let's go
to that side and collect algae.
Boss, don't worry the
lease is in our hands.
- Sir, good morning.
- Good morning.
- Good morning, sir.
- Hey, Muruga!
Go to the room and replace the
bed sheets and clean the bathroom.
Greetings, Siva.
- Greetings, Sir,
- Greetings, everyone. Please be seated.
What is he saying?
I have asked him to speak, let's see.
Hey, Sadaiya..
Shall we assign the auction to the sir?
Hello uncle, why are you
asking as if something is new?
Every year, he has been the
one taking the auction, hasn't he?
1000 tons of tamarind,
he is earning in lakhs.
I was not aware of this, but I
won't be letting it go easily anymore.
You used to threaten us,
citing the laws,
but the wildlife law itself
states that we have the rights.
Laws may state various things,
but is that what's truly important?
Our Sir is important for us.
Where will we go to acquire
so much money for the auction?
All these years..
because of him, we were able
to eat food. Did you forget that?
Hello, uncle? Did our people sit there in
his house doing nothing?
That's for the hard work
they did day and night
Despite snake and scorpion
bites, our people worked hard.
Every year, at least 10 people get
injured climbing the tree,
Has he even bothered at least once?
No one has the money
to acquire the auction.
we all should pitch in for the auction.
Are you talking in favour of them?
Don't we know who you are favouring?
If you still give the auction to them...
We will file a complaint against
you for disobeying the law.
Hey, I dare you to file the complaint
Do you think you will
survive in this forest?
Hey, the auction is done.
Go away.
All you want is..
someone from the tribe
to take the auction, right?
- Hey,
- Sir,
Write it as if the auction is being
taken in your name and sign it
Ok, sir.
What will you do now?
You can't mess with us.
I can't be honest with people like you
Get lost.
Earning money by filing cases against
people who are urinating in the forest
They are working so hard,
Have you ever given them a
single rupee wholeheartedly?
You forge the accounts and pay their
salary for someone working in your house
You think we don't know
what you guys are up to?
How dare you raise your voice?
I will kill you.
[Indistinct chatters]
Leave him.
How dare you show
your arrogance to me?
Are you here to support your brother?
Come, Siva.
My guest have arrived.
Let us deal them later.
Let me see how you
all make a living here
Welcome, brother.
Greetings, brother.
- What's the problem?
- Village panchayat.
Is everything ready, Somalingam?
Everything is ready and we've
been waiting for you since morning.
I will be back, brother.
What's up sir?
Looks like you won't be able to do it.
How much I have done to you.
What's the use?
A random guy raised his
voice, and you didn't do anything!
Hey, you.
Listen.
Let this be the last time.
It should not happen again.
Take care of it.
He couldn't even take care of this.
What makes you believe he
can get us 1, 000 or 2, 000 acres?
I'll be back.
Hey, hold on.
Hey.
From your salaries, I paid my house
servants" Who said something like that?
To get your pending payments, you
are seeking your brother's help, right?
You won't clean the house properly,
You won't look for the rocks properly,
Yet you expect your salary!
Why is it stinking?
Is this how you maintain it ?
If it is maintained like
this, how will any guests come?
Who will give the salary?
Should I be giving from my pocket?
If you want to make this job permanent,
not just this,
you should be ready to do
anything, even the dirty work
I will not spare anyone.
How dare you.... filthy!
Sir,
What is it?
It seems like elephants
have entered Kullati town
People are scared that
damages may occur, like last year.
Hey, he has been disrespecting
me. Isn't that important to you?
It is natural for the
elephants to be in the forest
Ask those people to vacate from the forest
They keep irritating me by talking
about lions and tigers entering the village
- Thank you, Sir,
- Get lost.
- Hey guys, Pack the essential materials.
- Get lost.
Hey guys, keep moving.
Hey why are you still here?
Come here.
What is it?
To chase the elephants,
Murugan is the right person
Why is it so?
Is he the only one who
can chase the elephants?
Then why are you here?
Aren't you getting paid?
- Get lost.
- Sir,
- I said, get lost.
- Ok, Sir.
Go...
Good for nothing.
Guys, move on.
Hey!
Be within your limits.
Starting tomorrow, do
your duty in the Anjetty region.
Only then will
you understand, you filthy!
How dare you bring your brother.
Roam like a dog and
get killed by the tiger,
or you yourself should quit this job
Tomorrow, your brother should come
and apologize by falling at my feet.
Muruga, this is not like
any other region.
Deep forest.
In case of an emergency,
it's not easy to get out
It's best to be cautious since
tigers roam around this area
"In solitude I stand, "
"and forsaken"
"in this wild expanse,"
"Here I linger, in silent plea, "
"A child of the woods,
summoned into its dance.
"The earth besmirches me,
"trials relentless, they swarm
You did a great job as
transferring him in that forest!
He's the one who used to
give all the info to his brother.
Now, he must be struggling
for food in the forest.
Hello Priya,
The ranger transferred Murugan to the
Anjetty region because of their grudge.
It will take one month to
complete the punishment and return.
The NGO we maintain,
If we don't have cooperation from
higher officials and local authorities...
We have to shut
down our office.
If you wish to work here,
You better not involve
in any such things.
Just concentrate on the work alone.
"In my first experience, I hearing
more sounds in this forest"
I followed them and checked;
they have a godown full of ganja.
Very good, dear.
You keep following them,
Let this issue of elephants get resolved
within one week,
we shall capture them.
Ok, Sir.
These ganja sellers are
bad to the core.
we need to be alive.
Be careful while you go to those areas?
- Do you understand?
- Yes, Sir.
- Keep it discrete.
- Yes, Sir.
I reported to the ranger
about the ganja cultivation.
I don't know whom he informed.
Suddenly, people came to shoot me
I somehow managed to escape.
Don't you know who's
smuggling ganja from the forest?
You may leave now,
I'll take care.
In Krishnagiri district,
The forest area within
Payur's wildlife preserve,
Four acres of ganja
plants have been detected,
Apart from Ganja,
Deer, elephants,
and many other wildlife have been
illegally hunted and smuggled by,
..Tholupetta Somalingam
has been arrested.
Also, Payur forest ranger Velayudam,
who was associated with this case,
has been arrested.
Accompanying Sadayan, the
welfare worker of the region,
our reporter Sudesi Mithran.
I've searched the entire office for you.
The ranger has deleted all the records
of you working here for seven years.
Sir..
I can't do anything more
than this, Muruga.
what can be done?
Today he complained about the ranger,
tomorrow he will do
the same to us.
he told them to take
you out of the job, Muruga
Sir...Sir..
What is this?
Bharani, it's crucial that
you maintain discipline
and refrain from associating with Murugan.
For seven years, you were hanging on
If you had been silent for some more days,
you would have gotten your job permanently.
It was your brother who spoiled
your career without much thinking.
There is no point in talking about
him. Where did your sense go?
Don't you know you shouldn't be
talking about the department affairs
even to your siblings?
Tell me, you know or you don't know?
Go away, it's all done now.
You have destroyed my son's career
I didn't do anything, why
are you questioning me?
Who said that my brother
is not going to have the job?
After making him work for 7
years, now you are chasing him out!
And you thought no one
would question you?
Sadaya, please don't shout.
I sincerely request you.
I can't do anything.
If someone has leaked
the name of an officer,
then it's a shame to
the whole department.
I'm telling you from my experience,
find another job for your brother.
That's the best option.
Oh, No!
Don't do that.
Let us not mess with him.
Let us leave from here.
Please, take it.
Can you feed the baby?
Bring it here, Sathya
- Can I get you something to eat?
- It's fine.
I saw what has happened
in the Ranger's office.
I felt very bad.
There is a good scope for your
brother to secure a government job
Twenty years back, my friend and I
worked together in the ISGS in Jharkhand.
Now, he started his own
ISGS coaching centre.
The guys who were sent by me...
studied well and trained well,
and now they are
settled with good money.
same thing can happen
for your brother as well.
But the only thing is that
we need to spend for it.
If your brother is over
27, he can't go for any job.
For a guy who has just
completed his 10th standard,
receiving a salary of 20, 000 rupees from
the ISGS is truly a significant thing.
Discuss with your family and come up
with a good decision.
- Shall I leave now
- Ok, sir.
I will discuss and let you know soon.
How are we going to survive
after selling the only land we have?
Our own people are
taking revenge against us,
Why are you complicating things further?
Why are you talking
like this to her?
You go and complete the procedure.
Aunty, you can question me
if what I'm saying is wrong.
What I'm telling is the
truth, and if it bothers him,
What shall I do then?
- Do as per your wish.
- Hey Sathya, where are you going? Hold on.
If he sells everything, then
what will we do for survival?
Hey listen,
He has inquired about
wherever the younger one goes,
Sadaya, please bring
your dad here.
I only want you two guys
to prosper well.
Younger brother will do well, Dad.
This is all for it only.
Take it.
"In this land where I was born,"
"I stand here all alone."
"Shattered, losing everything,"
"Sorrow fills my heart."
"This is a land of grudge,"
"Where is God now?"
"Where is God now?"
"Where is God now?"
Dear, what is it?
Do you not like the job
you are going to join?
I do like the job.
I'm going to serve my country.
I feel proud about it.
Going away from our forest,
is what really hurts.
So, leaving me and going doesn't hurt you?
Hey!
Not just the trees and
plants make this forest.
You and our love
are in it as well.
It is only for few days, right?
Then I will come along with you.
We will make our
children study in a convent.
Then we will come here
and build a home.
I have so many thoughts like this.
I will continue to live with
those thoughts all my life.
Despite that,
If I find myself thinking about you,
there's a song that both
of us enjoy, right?
I will fall asleep listening to it.
- Dear,
- Hmm...
not just now.
whenever you listen to that song,
imagine that I am also listening to it.
Ok?
It's disheartening to see our brother
..leave us and go so far away.
I'm really worried how he
is going to manage there.
I've tried a lot to
help him succeed,
but nothing has worked.
It should work out this time, at least.
He has just landed a good job at last.
Sacrifices are necessary for people
like us to pursue opportunities like this.
Let me be the one to make the sacrifices.
I just want my brother to prosper well.
Sathya..
If he secures a job,
He will be an inspiration
for others from our tribe.
And that is what I want.
Sit down.
Greetings!
Please, sit down.
You guys have the best opportunity
that nobody else will ever get.
Few years back in the government,
they introduced a scheme
for Naxal rehabilitation.
Have any of you heard about it?
No, Sir. (chorus)
No, Sir.
You guys don't even know
what Naxals mean.
It's a dangerous terrorist organisation.
They are against the people.
Our minister came up with
various plans to eradicate them.
One of them is the "Naxals
Rehabilitation Program."
In that program,
in order to discipline the
Naxals living in the forest,
the government itself
encourages them to surrender,
confiscates their weapons, and
provides compensation for them.
Apart from providing
training in ISGS,
they even help them
secure employment.
who will get such an opportunity?
In those days, there
was no such opportunities.
I felt bad about it.
Since the newly appointed D.I.G
is very close to me,
our centre has got
that opportunity.
There is a heavy competition
for getting into that scheme.
Our minister and DIG
have given a strict order
that only the underprivileged and those
from tribal communities should receive it.
He has emphasised it strictly.
- Are you all happy?
- Yes, sir. We are..
From tomorrow onwards, you
will be given guerrilla training.
Then a group photo
will be taken of all of you.
Then, for the next 15 days, you
will be kept at different places.
Whoever asks you in any way,
until you get the job,
You should say that you are naxalites.
But if you tell the truth...
You will not get any job.
You will end up in jail permanently.
- Do you understand?
- Yes, Sir. (chorus)
Whoever is interested can
come and register their names.
Training will start from tomorrow.
Are you all happy?
Yes, Sir.
Thank you.
Muruga,
what happened to you?
Aren't you interested?
I don't understand anything.
I'm confused.
Even I don't understand anything.
But we are getting the job, right?
Let's go and see.
In last two years,
Naxals have surrendered many
times in larger numbers than this time.
The trust people have in our
government keeps increasing.
Very soon, this district
will be free from Naxals.
I will accomplish this with the
help of our minister and officials.
With Naxals surrendering,
it is expected that
there will be an impact
on the upcoming state
and parliament elections.
Furthermore, the Naxals
who have surrendered..
are taken to the
rehabilitation camps.
Minister Ajith Joshy
has assured that the..
surrendered Naxals
will be given a new life.
In eradicating Naxals,
and working efficiently in
the crime prevention unit,
DIG Ankit Kumar Mishra
has been promoted to IG.
The minister assures that
among the surrendered Naxalites,
qualified ones will be selected for the
ISGS, observed, trained and employed.
Go in line.
Keep going.
(shouting in pain)
After killing so many
policemen and then surrendering,
Did you really think
you'd get a government job?
Let's see how you guys
handle training with a broken leg,
filthy naxals.
Priya, don't come to see me like this.
I'll visit you once I've secured the job.
I surrendered, admitting I'm a Naxalite.
After surrendering,
they didn't just torture me in jail
I'm facing the same treatment
at the ISGS training centre
I'll make it, somehow,
and secure the job.
I'll make it, somehow,
and secure the job, Priya.
You wait for me .
You wait for me .
Hey, Get up.
Hey, Muruga, please come.
You just mentioned your ambition,
You said you'd only return
home after getting the job.
I'm telling you now: we'll go
home only after we secure our jobs.
Not just us, but the whole
town will feel surprised.
Hey, move aside.
Move aside.
Keep moving.
How dare you?
I could bare their torture
instead of eating this.
Everyone go out.
I'm going to conduct foot drill here.
If you are don't come,
I will complain to Ustad.
You will be punished if you arrive late.
Get out.
I said, get out.
Hey, madrasi, do you understand?
These two guys are talking bad
about you in their native language.
This is their territory; that's
why they're torturing us
We must not fall for it.
Even the broker told
us that these
North Indians will see us
South Indians as inferiors.
Fighting doesn't matter.
What matters is securing
the job and getting back home.

I will make him undergo the pain.
Brother,
- Shall we spread the blanket for him?
- Hey..
Why are you talking? keep moving fast.
You have to run three more rounds.
Keep moving.
Kick him.
How dare you..
Let's not spare him.
Hey, Amitabh, punch him in the stomach.
Who is that running there?
Muruga, what happened?
Guys, lift him up.
Muruga, get up.
what happened?
It is bleeding, oh my god.
who did this?
Muruga, tell me who did this to you?
What happened?
let's go and inform this to Ustad?
No need to go to Ustad.
why?
If we report to him,
He won't ask any questions
instead he'll just punish me as well.
They will not keep calm.
You are not allowing me
to report this to the Ustad.
Stop the vehicle.
Password?
Fire.
Water
Go.
Hey Muruga,
What is the issue between
you and Amitabh?
You two are always seen fighting each other
Even I was like you guys
during my training days;
I used to fight with everyone.
One day, while on duty, I fainted,
The people I had fought with
were the ones who came to save me
I can tell you one thing,
If a Naxalite comes and shoots at us,
only then we fight together,
we can save ourselves
and those who are inside.
I've learned from experience:
it's okay to adjust things.
Amitabh
Hey, that's his left over.
Hey!
Hey Amitabh, he is insulting
you by giving his left over food.
Should I eat your left overs?
No, Amitabh..
- Muruga,
- What happened?
They covered me with a blanket
and hit me, just like they did to you
They left, and I couldn't
see who they were
Who could it be?
These lowlife Madras guys went
and complained to Ustad, right?
I showed what we are capable of.
From now on, these lowlifes
will stay far away from us.
Now, go and complain to Ustad.
When there is a fight, both
of them should be punished.
Are you ready for the punishment?
You filthiest!
Hey Ustad has arrived.
Who was involved in the fight here?
I'm asking right? Tell me.
Will you guys tell me or not?
Let me show you how I
can make you guys talk.
Do it faster.
You won't tell when I ask, right?
Keep doing this until sunrise.
Come on. Keep going.
Hey, what are you doing? Do it properly.
Come, come back.
Hey, you get up. Listen to me.
Could you please get up?
Do it properly.
Keep moving.
Hurry up. Keep moving.
How is it possible for
one person to fight alone?
I guessed it could be you two only.
I will call after meeting DC.
Better be ready to go from here.
You came out in disagreement, so
you expect us to leave this forest?
You can survive only with this job.
Those days we were just
scared of seeing the uniform.
Do you know how proud I am
to see my son in that uniform?
Please don't crush my ambitions.
We have lost every asset of us.
Our brother is left with nothing.
You have to secure
the job and return back.
He roams in the forest, and
how dare he want my daughter?
What makes you to
talk about "qualification"
As the son of Thondali, I assure you that I
will secure a reputable job for my brother
even if it means spilling my blood
You already lost your job.
How will you get a new job
at your age and succeed?
Ustad
If they stay any longer, they'll ruin
everyone. Send them out immediately!
Why has your attitude changed?
Don't you want the government job?
Only to lead a peaceful life,
You have come here by
surrendering as a naxal, right?
Sir, you can punish me
however you want?
but,
Please don't send me back home, Sir.
My brother and my father..
sent me here by selling
everything they had.
In this situation, if they
see me, they will die, sir.
Sorry, Sir.
With respect to what Ustad has told,
It doesn't look like you
are a responsible person.
I will..
..apologize to Amitabh.
If I'm leaving from here, I
have to leave with the job, sir.
Else my family's future will be at stake.
Please, Sir.
Please accept my apology
for this one time, sir.
Please, Sir.
Sorry, Sir.
Ustad, Come here.
Yes, Sir.
For three days, do not give
them anything except water.
Put these two,
..in quarter jail.
Seeing them suffer, other
people will learn their lesson.
This is the last warning.
You may go.
- Yes, Sir.
- Thank you, Sir.
Hey..
Are you really a naxalite?
No matter how many times you
ask me, I am a Naxal only.
I've been living in the
forest for many years.
Why do you ask me questions like this?
Because I'm also a naxalite.
The training center you came from,
I also trained at that same center.
Go in line.
Keep moving.
In order to secure the job, I too
surrendered as a Naxalite and came here
In that case, I'm the senior to you.
Even I'm like you..
after selling my land,
I have left my wife and
kid and come here.
Give a kiss to daddy.
Brother,
It's time. Let's go.
The thoughts of my kid kept
occurring every single second.
I requested the officials to grant
me permission to visit my daughter,
but nobody allowed me to go.
Instead, they asked me to
leave after securing the job.
I couldn't be like that.
So I decided to escape one
day to go to my native place.
Only after I got there,
I came to know that since I
surrendered, claiming to be a Naxalite,
The police have filed many
unfinished cases against me.
In the name of inquiry,
they have tortured my family.
Because of that, my wife
and my kid have left the town.
I searched everywhere,
and I couldn't find them.
I couldn't live anywhere else either.
Because the news of my surrender as a
Naxalite got published along with my photo,
people easily identify me.
Some of them even inform the police.
To be free from any legal issues,
and to live with my family,
I have to become a ISGS police,
so I came back.
On my first day back, they broke my
legs as punishment for running away.
I was bedridden for few days.
only then I understood one thing,
People who surrendered,
claiming to be Naxalites like us,
There seem to be over 500 of us
in this camp, all waiting to get jobs
500 People?
more than that.
only the newcomers like us are kept here.
those who have completed
the training are kept somewhere else.
only then I understood one thing,
here,
People who obey the higher
officials got selected earlier.
That's why I did all
sorts of jobs for ustad.
but,
..the DC selected you as the leader.
Now both of us are blacklisted.
So they won't select us at all?
If we perform well,
they will select us.
Along with that, if we get a good name
with Ustad, we can get selected soon.
hey..
By performing well,
We can forget all this.
Because you surrendered as a Naxalite,
The police must be
torturing your family now.
Ma'am, Is Murugan's house nearby?
- Yes, It's my brother's house only.
- Kindly call them.
quick..
- Sathya..
- Yes,
Someone is here asking for Murugan,
Who is this?
who are you?
Are you related to Murugan?
- Yes, he is our brother-in-law only.
- call someone else from the family.
My husband is in the farm, I'll call him.
Aunty, come here.
come.
Someone is here asking
for Murugan's brother.
This is my uncle and aunt.
Yes.
A photo has been published here.
See and tell me who is your son in this.
Sir, this is my son.
Look, our son's photo has been
published in the newspaper.
My son has become a police. Look here.
Instead of sending your son to the
army, you have made him a Naxalite.
Look at the way you
have brought up your son.
Get up.
Get everyone into the vehicle.
How dare you hit a police officer?
Catch him
Who are you?
Why are you hitting him?
What mistake has he done?
You didn't raise a good son.
You old man! Get up
Leave him!
Oh no!
Drag him away.
Take him into the jeep
Dear!
Listen, here.
Sadayan has made his
brother join a terrorist group.
No idea about how many
he would have done this to.
No one should be in touch with him, and
he should not be allowed to enter the town.
Sir, leave me
Just go
I hereby inform our villagers that..
..since Sadayan escaped from the police,
The Police are searching for
him everywhere in the forest.
So if you see Sadayan,
or if he gets in touch with you
you should inform the police.
Lift him up.
How dare... Die you filthy being...
Die.. Die..
Filthy creature, how
dare you go against me?
How dare you file a case against me.
How dare you form an
association, bloody lowlife.
hey,
His death should create
fear in the region.
Scoundrel,
Are you messing with me?
How dare you spit on me?
Die, you low life.
(Yelling in pain)
Sir, you can leave.
I will deal with him.
Squad - Stand at ease.
Squad - Attention.
23 Recruit - Present, Sir.
Amitabh has been injured and
has been taken to the hospital, sir.

You will have to join the next batch
and practice the same drill again.

Is it paining?
Amitabh, you could have
been a bit more careful.
Hey, Let's go.
Hey Gaurav,
hey,
You come.
From now on, you stay with him.
Don't bother about them. You come.
Here, have this.
Why are you looking so dull?
I'm also going to run in
the drill test tomorrow.
How are you going to
run with this injured leg?
I asked for permission
from Ustad, but he rejected it.
It seems like the
officials are very strict.
out of 100, they will
be selecting only 25.
He also said that they might look
for some reasons for not selecting.
If I think about my daughter, I will
even climb up the Himalayas.
You will do it, buddy.
Have your meal.
Hey, Rupesh,
You are a naxalite, right?
From my face, can't you see
that I'm a hardcore Naxalite?
Oh,
So, you were torturing me all these
days without knowing about me, huh?
- Hey..
- hold on.
Let him talk,
It is time for us to tell
the world who we are.
Keep quiet, buddy.
You carry on.
Do you know which category
I belong to?
how many gunfights, and how many
operations I have been a part of?
Do you know how many lives of
officials I have taken using grenades?
- hey, keep quiet.
- please, wait.
He himself doesn't know about me fully.
Not in one state or two states,
Officials from every state are looking
for me with a separate search team.
When you go out and
tell that you know Rupesh,
you will be kept in prison and
you can't come out for 21 years.
Please Keep quiet.
Fine,
which forest you were in?
Thandakaaranyam forest.
heard about it?
The most dense forest in
the world. Have you seen it ?
Nobody knows how
I will be in the forest.
I am in every part of the forest.
I am the forest.
- Hey, Please keep quiet, buddy.
- Wait
Was there a fox named Mongia in the
Thandakaaranyam forest where you were?
Yeah.
Did that fox approach you
after entering the forest?
and say that you have gotten an
opportunity which no one has got before?
yeah. It did.
Didn't you pay 5 lakhs to
that fox to enter the forest?
yeah.
Everyone has come from there.
Why you didn't tell me this before?
Stupid!
But I didn't pay 5 lakhs fully;
a balance of 5000 is there.
No one can fool me completely.
8 kilometres from here, Ustad is standing.
You should get the token from him
and return back here at the earliest.
If you return back in 30 minutes,
Excellent.
33 minutes - good.
35 minutes - ok.
anything beyond that,
No one will get to the weapon training.
For the next 3 months, you
will have to do drill practise only.
got it?
So, it's going to be drill practise only.
If anyone crosses paths or
clashes with someone intentionally,
If you do anything like this,
there will be heavy punishment.
Hey, get up
No, I couldn't...
Ustad, go and check quick.
Yes, Sir.
- I lost it.
- hold this.
- You go,
- No, I don't want.
- Go
- Then what about you?
Keep going, buddy.
No one is here, Looks
like I have arrived first.
Hey, did everyone get the token?
how come he is here?
Hello, Sir.
Daddy..
Daddy.
Chest number 52
Excellent.
Hey Muruga,
Hello!
If you keep spending like this,
how can we manage the expenses?
Is the government funding
for running the camp?
We are able to run the camp
because of the funding by the minister.
Do you understand?
Have some control over the expenses.
Am I taking along everything?
I'm giving you everything, right?
ISGS soldiers are continuously
dying because of Naxalite attacks.
From the Home Minister
to the media,
everyone is torturing me
with their questions.
If I don't take immediate action,
he is shouting that it will affect
his party's results in all the elections.
He is threatening me, saying,
"Is it for this that I made you IG?"
Now, they are going to
announce the election date.
I have spoke to the minister,
There is a good news.
In our operation,
Postings and medal has to be given.
Sure, Sir.
we are doing this for
the minister, particularly.
Let some days go by, then
we shall take the camp list.
- Ok, Sir.
- Ok.
Let this be confidential.
The date for the
parliamentary election,
will be announced by the
Election Commission of India today.
On behalf of the announcement
of the election date,
Strict laws have been imposed
throughout for the state's security.
The paramilitary force has been deployed.
election procedure directives
will be effective from tomorrow
Hey,
will you accept or not?
Everyone in your family
passed away hanging here.
Accept that you committed the crimes
for which cases were filed against me.
Hey, bring his father here.
Hey, ask your son to accept.
Tell him to accept.
Hey, ask your son to accept.
hey, filthy!
I will beat your father to death.
Hey, accept it.
Hey!
I will beat your father
to death. Better accept it.
Accept it, you lowlifes.
Accept it, you lowlifes.
You...
Hey, accept it.
Hey, accept it.
Don't kill him anytime soon.
He should die slowly,
suffering in our tortures.
you will see your father's death.
Don't accept, son.
Hey, the list has come.
Without selecting me, how are they
going to ensure the safety of the nation?
Hey, Amitabh, your
name is there on the list.
- Super, buddy.
- Is my name there?
What about you?
If my name didn't come up, no problem, I'm
happy that your name is on the list.
Hey, come here.
Go away, my name is
not there on the list.
Don't worry about it. I'm just
glad you'll go and see your kid.
Ask them about their daughter.
- Greetings everyone.
- greetings.
How are you all doing?
Are you the one sent by Muniappan?
Yes, we were sent by Muniappan.
Alright then.
Priya,hold this.
They have seen you, right? Then
ask them to leave after having tea.
Hey, stay quiet.
Get away from here.
or get lost.
Why are you torturing me?
Go and die somewhere.
Go to jail and eat porridge with him.
Not at all listening to me.
(indistinct voices)
Priya, please stay calm.
Let us leave from here.
I'll hit both of you
with the broomstick.
This was your mother's
plan, I'm not involved.
This is my grandfather's house.
It's my wish to stay here.
If he comes out of
prison, I will go with him.
Or, I will run the family,
bringing him here.
Are you telling me to die?
I won't give up so soon.
In such a case, I will kill
you all before.
Hey Priya, hold on.
Don't go, Wait.
What are you thinking about?
Are you worried that your
name is not been on the list?
Your name will be on the next list.
Hey,
It's not about that.
I'm happy that you got selected
rather than me getting selected.
At least you will go
home and see your child.
Then why are you like this?
I don't feel anything
when you guys are around.
But When I'm alone, I keep
thinking about my home.
I've been longing to go back home
and talk to my people.
I just need to sit and
talk from my heart.
What is this buddy?
So, you didn't speak to
me from your heart?
Hey, it's not like that,
The questions you ask me,
I'm answering with yes or no
without understanding the language.
Do you know how many
months it has been since..
I have spoken from my
heart in my language?
Here,
To the bathroom, trees,
and the wall,
I'm talking to them
like a mad person.
I will tell you something,
Across that wall, there are
many trucks for taking out beedi leaves,
and one phone booth will be open throughout
the night for them to make calls.
you have the number
of the forest officer, right?
Call him and ask someone from
your family to talk to you, okay?
You can tell them about your situation
and assure them that you will come soon.
They should know how
you are doing here.
Don't keep thinking.
I won't be here tomorrow.

Hey..
Where is Amitabh?
Go and see outside
instead of asking me.
It ain't my job to look for him.
Section Commando, did
you check everything?
Everybody should be in as per the order.
Everybody, keep your
belongings under your feet.
Keep going.
You were in deep sleep, buddy.
Also, I didn't know how to tell you.
That's why I left without
informing you. Sorry, buddy.
- Not fair.
- Muruga.
I will join the job and
go to my native only.
I will tell my daughter that
you brought this change in me.
- Amitabh..
- Sir.
Muruga, I have written my
address in your suitcase.
Come to my place with Priya.
Come and visit me.
I have kept something which you like.
- Get in the truck.
- Go and see you will like it.
Keep moving.
Muruga, Bye.
"Oh Priya Priya.
"Will this poor soul's love prevail?
Will day and night become one?"
"We stand on opposite ends,
For a long time, I have had one wish.
I don't know the reason behind it.
But it is a recurring desire.
I don't know if this is
happening only to me,
Or it has happened to
other girls as well.
No one is here, right?
You, me and the forest..
also the moon, right?
Yes.
Like you,
I want to get rid of my clothes,
Dip our legs in this river stream,
And keep walking
until the end of the forest?
Why until the end of the forest?
Because after the forest, there
will be the town, so... that's why.
So?
If the town comes, everything will follow.
everything means?
caste, religion,
prestige, position,
brother, sister, uncle, aunty,
men, women and so much..
Then how can I enter the town?
Here, by wearing these
clothes which you removed!
If you want to enter the town, you have
to wear the clothes which you removed.
All these days you were
wearing it and walking.
Here, it's all yours.
Here, take it.
But I don't want.
Oh, No. I also don't want.
I will stay like this with you.
Hey, Muruga, Wake up, the
training centre has come.
Give it.
Stack it up in the storeroom.
Be careful.
To attend the parliamentary election
Internal Affairs Minister
Ajith Joshi who has arrived,
Naxal gang dressed up
as ISGS
Staged a bomb attack where
the minister narrowly escaped.
During the search and
hunt operation,
In the fight between ISGS IG led by
Ankit Kumar Mishra
and the Naxalites...
Including the leader Amitabh,
13 other Naxals were shot dead.
The IG and other officials are receiving
nationwide appreciation for this operation.
Buddy,I have written my
address in your suitcase.
I have also kept something you like.
You go and check it out.
You will like it.
My dear friend,
Right from my childhood days,
I have been living in pain,
losing my parents and my home.
Each and every day,
In this camp, I have been
roaming with my old memories.
The days I lean on your shoulders ..
are the days when I forget my sufferings
I can never forget these good days.
In this address,
I'll be waiting to see
you along with Priya
Yours Amitabh.
We are living a unpleasant life.
Can't you see our sufferings?
My son who went to
serve the nation,
..Should return back with a job.
Lord Veerabadra.
Take me instead of my sons.
Make my sons lead a happy life.
Hey, Sadaya, No...
Hey Sadaya!
Sadaya, I don't know
what happened there.
I didn't do any mistakes.
I'm gonna kill you.
Dear, how are you?
I'm just being alive.
Didn't our daughter come?
She didn't come.
Did she ask about her father?
Yes, she is asking about you.
What should I tell?
As if I'm happy roaming the
forest, leaving you and our people!
I don't have a choice.
I entered the forest.
If she asks where her father is,
point to this forest from our town's rock.
I will be here in this forest.
Dear, please don't go.
Dear, please don't go.
I'll come with you too.
Don't be afraid if
the police stop you.
I will be watching you.
Keep going bravely.
Dear, please come back, at
least for our daughter's sake.
You were just a DSP,
but I promoted you to
IG in just two years.
Because you promised
me a Naxal-free district.
I announced that scheme
in the Parliament.
What happened now?
As I promised, every month,
I'm releasing the funds
to you and the camp.
What have you done to me?
- Do you understand?
- Yes, sir.
Hey Muruga, our name
has come on the list.
Our name has
come on the list.
I thought about it the last time itself,
How can they leave out our names
even after perfect training and fitness?
But now they have included our names!
Your name is first on the list
and my name is second.
Hey..
I'm telling you such a big news,
then why are you upset?
Didn't we wait for this day, enduring
all the pain inflicted by Ustad?
Our whole family and
our entire village are
waiting for this moment,
and why are you like this?
It's my mistake informing you about this.
My name is reflected on the list.
My name is reflected on the list.
Both of our names
are on the list
I will become a
high-ranking officer,
Return to this camp, and
be the boss to Ustad.
You wait and see.
There were times when just a sight
of a uniform terrified us.
Do you know how happy it makes me
to see my boy in this uniform?
It feels like I am seeing my God
Veera Bhadran' up close
No matter how much
ever one is rich,
Can anyone afford this uniform?
It is not possible,right?
Doesn't wearing this
uniform give us courage?
Listen,brother.
There are a thousand occupations,
but the respect the uniformed officers of
the navy, police and forest get,
is unmatched.
IG wants you to do this operation.
We believe that you
will do it successfully.
This should be the
sensational news of tomorrow.
Ok, sir.
- Be careful.
- Yes, sir.
Hey,
- What dude?
- Look here
What?
Here...
What is it?
- Why are you dragging me?
- Wait, listen
- No one can hear us,
- Please try to understand.
What is so important
to share it here?
Look here
Look at this
They have shot Amitabh, and our
10 guys are being framed as terrorists.
Oh no...
Stay calm, please.
Are they going to kill us as well?
Even if we give any
reasons, they won't spare us.
Anyway, they're going
to beat us to death.
Buddy,I can't be here anymore.
Muruga, please save me.
Please listen to me.
What will my family do without me?
(sobbing)
Listen to me.
Please...
Stay calm..
I don't think we'll have
a chance for survival.
Head to the room as if
you're going to take something.
Somehow escape by
jumping the compound wall.
The only way is...
We need to inform our fellow
mates whose names are on the list,
We have to save them.
Even if we all die,
Buddy,
You have to go out and tell the truth,
and save the other 500 people stuck here.
Hey!
They are going to
kill us for sure
How dare you try to escape...
Look at what I'm going to
do to you; you're gonna die.
This is the leg that ran,
right? Let me break this.
Muruga, run away from here
Lock him up. Seeing
him, others should know
what will happen trying
to escape from here.
Anyone who thinks of escaping
from here should see this and feel fear.
Why are you shouting?
This is going to be the same for
everyone who thinks of escaping from here.
How dare you try to escape from here.
Lock him up in quarter jail.
Squad forward
Quick.
Keep moving quick.
Hey, Keep moving. Quick.
Keep moving.
"Mighty forest, oh mighty forest!"
"You, the womb and
the seed, mighty forest!"
"Time is our adversary."
"The mighty forest must not crumble."
"Let's strike hard, together!"
"With anger in our eyes
and sharp claws,"
"Let's march forward roaring!"
"When the forest is
but a hair to the mountain,"
"I hold onto your thoughts"
"When leaves gather to play music,"
"I'm entranced by your scent"
"I'll hold onto you through
any storm, come what may."
"I would have stitched ten-headed
Ravana onto me and lived my life."
"With faces veiled in falsehood,"
"our swords shall sever roots"
"Tomorrow, our sun rises,
casting shadows to refute"
"With stones, arrows, and our past"
"we will keep marching forward."
Hey, Muruga.
What happened?
Tell me what is bothering you?
Stay calm, please.
Everyone is happy and
why are you sad?
Guys, look at this.
Hey, keep quiet.
Hey, come here.
Where has the truck reached?
Sir, I'm on the way.
Truck is following us.
Media is ready and please
convey it to the minister.
Let us try to escape from here.
Got it?
What is that?
- I asked, what's that in your hand?
- Nothing, Sir.
Kill him.
How dare you form a gang?
Get ready, everybody.
Alert.
Hey stop.
No one should escape from here.
Even if one escapes, we
will end up in prison.
Quick,follow the truck.
Everybody run!
Round up now.
Getting fast.
Run.
Comrade, what happened?
Guys, run.
Muruga, come along.
You keep going.
You said serving
the nation is sacred.
Now, what happened
to that sacredness?
Just for the sake of
money and power
You are killing us.
How can you stand before
your god without shame?
The food you eat
it has our blood in it, doesn't it?
By tomorrow, the stench of our dead
bodies will spread across the country.
"As I cook millet rice and curry.
"We wait for your arrival.
"have you lost your way.
have you lost your way."
"Keeping you in my heart,"
"Blood drips like milk."
"Now the ground absorbs it."
As a kid, I dreamed of joining
the army and serving the nation
They have destroyed
the dreams of many of us
They made false promises and
forced us to surrender as Naxalites.
They killed whoever was there with us.
The new DGP
and other higher officials
have conducted the fake camp in
the name of ARPF training centre.
Five hundred more people
like us are still trapped.
I sincerely request to save them.
More than 500 youngsters are
held up in fake camps.
They have conducted fake
encounters by framing them as Naxalites.
Those responsible for
this will face legal action.
This is a plot by the opposition party.
I will prove my innocence
in the court of law.
'After few months'
