Kalinga (2024) Movie Script
In this eternal universe, there are many sacred scriptures,
Vedas, Upanishads and historic literature.
Lord Sri Maha Vishnus rage to destroy
the immortal demons is tremendously dangerous.
When child Prahalad said that his Lord Hari can be found anywhere we search for
his father, Hiranyakashipu challenged him
to show him in the pillar and kicked it.
Out came the Lord Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy
a ferocious being who was half man and half lion
and destroyed Hiranyakashipu with a wild rage.
The rage became uncontrollable even by the gods
Thus, Gods seek Lord Shivas aid.
He assigns Kalabhairawa to handle it
Even Kalabhairawa fails to control the Lord's rage.
At that point, Lord Shiva himself disguised as an Eagle attacks Narasimha Swamy
A two-headed wild bird emerges from the anger of Narasimha Swamy
This battle goes on for days
The Heaven, Earth and Hell are gripped in the fear of death
God's seek aid from the Goddess of Power.
The Goddess with her power, force and mightiness emerges
as Goddess Prathyangira Matha
and dissolves the immense outrage of Narasimha Swamy
and calms him.
Lion faced,
ferocious and powerful,
as the Goddess who destroys evil forces
Prathyangira Matha is worshipped
Even this village
is displaying signs of evil powers at every step.
Lets see how Prathyangira Matha destroys those evil forces
What must be my deaf wife doing at this time?
Malli
Malli
Hey Malli
When did you come?
I came a while ago
First, serve me food
Why were you late today?
I went to the well to store water.
Thats why I got late today.
Oh Careful
Someones calling
Malli
Hey Malli
Hmm
I myself didnt hear anything.
How did my deaf wife hear?
Malli
Malli
Where did she go in this dark night?
Malli
Malli
Malli
Malli
Where did she vanish?
Malli
Ah!!!
Malli
What happened Sir, you came at this late hour?
Been to the neighbouring village.
Is any alliance fixed for your daughter?
Hmm, still checking.
Even I have a sister
I dont know how I will get her married.
One minute, Sir.
My knife ?
Ive kept it here only;
Don't know where it has gone.
Whatever maybe the problem;
I will find the solution.
Before the curse from the eternities
spreads over my kingdom;
I have to fulfill the promises made to my people.
My prime duty is to sacrifice all my relationships.
The time has arrived for me to sacrifice my life for the greater good of my people.
I have to discover a weapon to destroy the curse that has seized over my kingdom.
I am leaving with a great hope that I will find an end to this mysterious puzzle.
I remain.
Kalinga
Present
What is this ritual all about, old man?
According to our villages tradition,
when someone from our village dies,
it is our custom to offer them to the nature.
and we have to follow this tradition.
See.
We have to leave this place in just two minutes.
Else, we wont be alive.
No one should turn back.
Hey
Hey
Bring the liquor
What's up, man?
Heard you went to Lakshmis house last night
I made her husband sit outside.
went in and finished my work.
Bring it. Bring it.
Hey, pour here.
Hey.
Lets go.
Hey.
Where are you going without paying the money?
What?
Money?
Send your wife with me;
I will pay in full.
Looks like you all need a hard hit down below.
How dare you talk like that?
Hey
What?
Money?
Send your wife with me;
I will pay in full.
I know how to brew liquor and also how to blast.
Hey Hey.
Enough now.
Will you kill him or what. Come.
Lets go.
Hey.
Start the car.
Wheres my brother?
Kids, youngsters, old people, everyone - Listen up.
In order to avoid any evil powers entering the village,
there will be a ritual performed at the borders of the village
hence nobody should come out of their homes at night.
Namaste Sir.
What Ranga?
Why have you come?
Sir, I came to collect my land documents.
What?
Your land documents?
Bali.
You have come crossing 10 villages.
We will talk after you eat something.
No, no sir.
Hey
Serve him food.
Go
Sir, I have repaid all the loan amount.
I will leave if you give me my land papers.
Huh!
You have paid the money, but
I dont feel like giving back your land to you.
Sir, please dont say like that sir.
You are like a God.
If so, then consider you gave your land to the God himself.
Sir, sir please dont say like that.
I will fall on your feet.
Its my kids future sir.
We are not Gods to give future to everyone.
We are evil.
You have tainted yourself by killing him.
Clean yourself and come.
We should attend the village fair.
Hey.
Sir.
Dump this body outside the village border.
Ok sir.
Hurray! Hurray!
Lets dance that even the rocks can tune in.
Let everything be deranged with the heaviness of our sounds.
Its going to be a frantic dance.
Let sky be the limit for this feast.
All are equal for us.
But, if you mess up I will put you to sleep.
Bless us our Village deity.
Today, its all about you.
We all are innocent.
You trusted our capacity.
Hurray! Hurray!
Lets dance that even the rocks can tune in.
Let everything be deranged with the heaviness of our sounds.
Every move, every tune stops at the glance of your glare.
Partner with me and I will be all yours.
Walk with me like my companion.
The wedding bells will follow along;
blushing that we are made for each other.
Is the village fair going on well than the last year?
Make sure nothing is disorganised for people.
Okay Sir.
Along with this, the complete offering box should be sent home by evening?
Understood?
Okay Sir.
Lets go.
Father-in-law
Hmm
I will leave now.
See Dad, he is not listening to me.
You tell him.
I have works back in my village, father-in-law.
I should go.
How can u leave like that Son-in-law?
Per our villages tradition, we have the ritual happening tonight.
we are not supposed to step out of the village till the ritual is completed
Okay father-in-law.
Hmm. You never listen to me know.
What Shivayya?
Oh, he started.
Are you utilising the profits from your crops well?
What profits, Uncle?
The profits are not sufficient even to repay the debts.
Not understanding how to provide for my wife and children.
Dont worry; even we will have good days.
Few days will be dark; but then light follows.
Why is he still not coming.
What good days, Uncle.
When will the good time come and when will we see it.
Here, It will come man.
Hmm. Why are you rising the bike onto me?
How long should I wait for you?
Instead of waiting, you should have come for me.
Yea, its so easy for you to say.
Can't you come for me till there?
Such long distance on my cycle?
How can I?
And that too, you went to the forest, right?
You go any far for Ramalakshmi.
Hey, stop
How scared are you?
What happened, boys?
See Uncle.
Yea yea, am observing.
I should get him married.
Dad, you dont start off about my marriage now.
Was it necessary now?
Did you have food, Son?
No Uncle.
I made fish curry at home.
Have it.
Sure.
Dad, give me 100 rupees.
You.
Enough. Should you remove your slipper to tell me to eat Fish?
Ok, will leave now.
Hey, lets go.
Go, you stupid boy.
I will leave; you continue.
What is this, Uncle?
You were yelling at your own son; but were very good to Linga.
Hey.
My son has me.
But, its not the same for Linga.
I am everything to him.
He is a very good man.
Okay, I will leave now.
Okay.
What's up, man?
All day, you roam around Padhu.
Did you tell her at the Fair yesterday?
I didn't tell.
Didnt you tell?
When will you tell then?
We should not rush for everything.
We should wait for the right time.
Is it?
Will you propose to her at least today, or not?
See today.
You keep saying that;
till someone comes and marries her.
Padhu is mine.
From dawn, the day has gone to dusk.
Where is your Padhu?
Shell come, wait.
I dont know man.
Hey
Youll never get an opportunity like this in your life
Tell it quickly.
Hey hey wait.
Padhu
Padhu
Hmmm
What?
You are calling me as if am your wife.
Whats the matter?
I am standing here and you are not even looking at me.
Hmmm.
Are you waiting for me or what?
Yesterday, I saw you in the village fair;
you were looking gorgeous.
Hmmm
Tell me now.
Whats the story?
It is.
I have been wanting to tell you something from a very long time
But
I am scared.
Ah?
Yesterday, you beat the men at your liquor shop without any fear
Why are you fearing now?
What?
No, nothing.
Tell me.
Yea, do you like me or not?
Hmmm
Padhu
Hey
Padhu
Say something and go.
Youve been seeing me since childhood.
Dont you know still?
Padhu
Hey.
Did you tell her?
Should we fix the marriage date?
Did she say Yes or No?
Huh
Hmm.
If you yourself are doubtful, then forget it.
Enough
Is this all necessary?
Come, come. Start the bike.
Stop staring. Start the bike.
Chinnu
Wait. That's not that way
Chinnu
Chinnu, wait
Chinnu, dont run
Chinnu
Hey Chinnu
Where have you gone?
Where have you gone?
Chinnu
Chinnu
What are doing here?
I am going to my mother home
Way to your mother's house is that side.
Why hav you come this side?
My daughter ran in this direction
That's why I came in this route.
Don't you know that you should not come this side?
Don't you know that you should not cross the border?
I know.
I will take my daughter and leave
Take your daughter and leave this place quickly.
Chinnu
Where did you go?
If you are here
then, your mother?
What happened?
Sir.
Hey
Go back.
Hey, old man.
Come here.
Sir
Who is this girl?
My grand daughter sir.
Is she the one who attained puberty, last year?
Yes Sir.
Your son died, right?
How will you get this girl married?
Shes just a child, sir.
So...
You wont get her married at all?
Okay.
Do one thing.
Send your grand daughter to my home for work.
I will make her do all the works.
Hey.
Drag her into the car.
Sir, sir, I beg you. I will fall at your feet.
Grandfather, help me.
Sir, sir.
Sir, please leave my granddaughter.
Leave me, leave me.
Sir, sir.
Leave me
I will fall on your feet.
Leave me
Hey
Drag her quickly.
Let her go.
How dare you?
Leave her.
Leave her.
Hey
let her go.
Insult is a very dangerous thing.
If wealthy people like us insult a poor man
he will hang himself or poison himself and die.
But, if the same poor man insults us
we conspire how to murder him.
If its a man, you should kill him.
If its a woman, you should assault her.
And, it should be done before your rage fades.
Hey.
Your father-in-law is coming.
Greetings father-in-law.
Hey, I lost all my respect today because of you.
Hey, why are you so scared of him, man?
Is he the only one who has a daughter?
You just say yes.
We have hundreds of girls in our village.
They are not even thirty yet; but strongly addicted to booze.
Bloody drunkards.
Get married happily.
Ah?
Have kids.
What do you lack?
There are many girls if not his daughter.
Padhu is mine.
Why are you kissing me? I am not your Padhu.
My father-in-law is here.
My father-in-law is here.
He will give his daughter to me in marriage.
Complete waste fellows.
What's wrong?
Why are the cows bellowing?
Your father is not at home.
Go, check once.
Okay, will go.
Hey
I am telling you again.
Dont mess with me.
Let me go.
Why did you interfere with my business in the morning?
What you did in the morning was wrong.
And, what you are doing now is also wrong.
What the hell is wrong?
I won't spare you today.
Huh..
Got both of them at the same time.
Her honour
his life
both should be destroyed today.
Ahh
Leave it, boss.
Hey
Let go, boss.
Is this me?
Or, have I forgotten myself
hovering in your thoughts.
Have the worlds come together
to seize these moments?
Unknown of this new faintness
thats impending afresh on me.
My life has now become hers
with our desires aligned.
The sweetness of our dreams is making our hearts blush.
Is this me?
Or, have I forgotten myself
hovering in your thoughts.
Have the worlds come together
to seize these moments?
Thoughts became the words
drenched me like raindrops.
Some sweetness fumbled me this moment.
My hearts chant about you
spoke like a melody.
The tune that fiddled with my heart is Love.
This journey.
Love is the destination
My life
is now a part of yours.
We are one, and that is the truth.
Is this me?
Or, have I forgotten myself
hovering in your thoughts.
Have the worlds come together
to seize these moments?
..
During the weakining time of the planets.
The dark rule of the demons
the vast possession of the evil powers
A caged triangle spell
I was thinking where have you gone, leaving me.
Is this the matter?
Padhu is mine.
Good, carry on.
What is this, Muthi?
Your friend is roaming the whole village with that girl.
Yes
They both are in love and hence they are together.
Whats wrong in that?
She escaped from me several times.
I have to do something.
What will you do?
Was the thrashing not enough?
This time, he will chop your legs, not just your hands,
What will he chop?
Wont he get caught again?
I wont spare him without killing this time.
I will see his end.
I have to talk to my father-in-law about my marriage with Padhu.
Tomorrow, I should somehow talk to Padhu's father about our marriage.
When are you planning the wedding then?
That will be fixed too.
Hey Linga.
Come here.
Hey, go go
Namaste Sir!
You are not to be seen these days, why?
Nothing Sir.
I am in the village only.
Debt amount?
I will come to the palace and pay it off sir.
Okay, go.
Hey
Leave.
Yea
Leaving sir, leaving.
Ignore them; I am here for you.
I underestimated him.
He might be old, but definitely a good player.
Is it so?
If you marry my daughter,
how are you planning to provide for her?
Ahh!!
Brother, give it to me.
Take it.
Whats the matter, brother; youve come here?
Our Linga wants to say something.
Say.
Yea Uncle.
Padhu and I like each other since a long time.
If you permit, I would like to marry her.
Is it?
If you marry my daughter, how are you planning to provide for her?
I am working right, Uncle?
What, brewing liquor?
Like all other Fathers, I also want to get my daughter married to a guy who owns a farm.
Not to someone like you who brews cheap liquor.
Hey, give your daughter to my friend.
He will treat her like gold.
Why will I give?
You bloody booze and tumble everywhere.
You are telling me.
Just shut up.
He's finished.
Hey, wait.
Hey.
Father.
Stop.
Keep quiet.
What are you saying Uncle?
Even I have 2 acres of farming land, right?
You have a farming land?
Where is it?
The one youve mortgaged to the Village head?
Your father couldnt release it; you too couldnt.
Its not an issue, uncle.
I will get my farm back.
Will you give me Padhus hand in marriage?
Go, get your farm released and come.
Ill see then.
I will get my farm back.
Will you approve of our marriage?
Ive never seen anyone getting their land back from the Village head
Leave all that, uncle.
I will get my land papers from the Village head and give it to you.
Will you then agree to our marriage?
Okay, will accept then.
Hey, Linga.
Do you think he will get his land papers?
Yea. Like the Village head will ever give and this guy will ever get.
Dont know where he was born.
And, he grew up here.
Will I give my daughter to such a person?
See.
Tell her to forget about him.
I will handle here.
Hmm
You, carry on.
What happened?
Why are you staring at him?
Hey
He is upto something.
What is Padhu doing?
Shes inside.
Did she eat?
She didnt eat though I asked many times.
Why so?
Ah!
Why else.
Just like you she is also stubborn.
I am the one suffering in between.
Why are you talking like that?
Whatever I do is for her good only, right?.
He is a drunkard.
Are you telling me to get my daughter married to such a person?
Ah!
Why are you yelling at me?
Padhu
Come for dinner
Padhu
Hey!
Why are you here?
My father talks like that only.
Lets go and get married.
Hey!
Why are you stressing your mind with so many thoughts?
I gave my word to your father.
I will handle everything.
Crazy girl.
Do whatever you want, but marry me.
Hmm
I will leave.
Hmm
Whats up man!
Your face is glowing.
What a story!
Hey Srinu
Why did you get all these when I told you to get toddy?
You could have got from our Mallis shop.
Whats up
Where have you both been?
Oh! Here are the gentlemen.
Have you already started, father?
Here
This is for Linga.
You take this.
Linga
What have you decided?
Damn you!
What else is left to decide.
We have to question and bash the Village head.
Ah!
Hes not your father to give the papers as soon as you ask.
Hes a rogue of the village.
Ahh
Father, you are drunk.
Enough of your blabbering. Go home and sleep.
When did you guys ever listen to me?
Is that necessary now?
Giving birth to you itself was so unnecessary.
Whats the point in regretting now.
Go.
You tell, Linga. What shall we do?
How long will we live like this?
Thats the point.
Did you hear?
I will not forsake my land, no matter what.
Hmm. No letting go.
Will see.
Yes, will see.
Will see, that's all.
Will see.
Otherwise.
Come.
Come on.
Will he go now itself?
Thats it.
What? Thats it.
You idiot.
Hey; think again. Is this all necessary?
You yourself have told right, will question him, bash him.
Greetings Sir!
Greetings Sir!
Whats up?
How come all the field workers are here today?
Maybe they have come to plead for money for liquor tonight.
It's regarding the 2 acers land that my grandfather has pledged here
I came to collect the papers.
Exactly 53 years ago,
longing to re-claim the land your grandfather has mortgaged with me.
your grandfather passed away
and your father too passed away.
And, now you have come for the same land.
Look.
I am telling you the same thing that I told your father.
Pay the balance interest amount of 10 years
and then take your papers.
In any calculation, your account has been settled long ago.
My grandfather paid, my father paid and am still paying.
Today, you have to give me my papers.
And, I need to leave with my papers.
What?
Talking too much?
Bali
First, serve food for everyone.
If you serve food, I am not one to eat, salute and leave like Rangaiah.
Linga
Linga
What will you do?
What will you do?
I will leave only after collecting my land papers.
Hey, dont.
Bali.
You wait.
Linga
I will give you a bumper offer.
Instead of 2 acres in the village,
I will give you 4 acres in the State estate
Ok, give me.
Hey
get those papers.
Sir
Hey Linga.
You left your good village land and took that forest land?
Hmmm.
You are doing all this for marriage, right?
obviously.
Brother.
Why did you give him the papers; instead of killing him?
Hey!
He might be an unwealthy guy but not a coward.
And, moreover, whoever came to buy the land in our State estate died.
Its a cursed land.
Not all matters should be handled physically
sometimes, we have to play mind games.
He will die without us killing him.
..
Grandfather, why are we going this route?
If we go in the regular route, it will be 10 miles.
It is only 2 miles in this shortcut.
I am scared Grandfather.
We will cross this forest in a moment.
Life gets heavy if you are fearful.
When you overcome your fears, life becomes easy.
I will tell you a story in this dark forest.
Listen son.
There was an empire ruled by a king.
Because of his brutality, many kingdoms were destroyed.
Many royal heirs lost their lives.
Kalinga empire is one among them.
The treasure brought from that kingdom
is hidden somewhere in this forest.
Grandfather.
Grandfather.
Where are you, Grandfather?
Grandfather, I am scared.
Grandfather.
The same dream over and over again.
Where will this puzzle lead me to?
Is my wedding tomorrow going to safeguard my life
Or,
destruct it?
The sweetness of the lips
The sweetness of the face
The sweetness of the eyes
The sweetness of the lover.
The sweetness of the heart
The sweetness of the movement
Everything captured with sweetness is sweet.
Her twisting lips
sprinkle a jasmine fragrance.
Dancing just like in my dreams,
See, he didn't even shave on his wedding day.
it's ok, stop.
Bless them
shes in my arms.
Is there no way to halt the time?
Our Linga has a family now
I cannot handle this temptation at this moment.
In this cozy moonlight
having her next to me.
In her warm breath,
I am diving deep.
The entire night is ours.
The naughtiness is common.
Her naughty eyes wont let me blink a moment.
Captured in intoxication
everything seems strange.
We are stringed together as a pair.
The entire night is ours.
The naughtiness is common.
Her naughty eyes wont let me blink a moment.
Captured in intoxication
everything seems strange.
We are stringed together as a pair.
Hey!
Ah!
What are you doing there?
Forget what am doing. First tell me, why did you come here.
Stop that and come down.
I need to talk to you.
Its sounding very suspicious if you are wanting to have a talk.
Theres nothing suspicious; you first come down, man.
You first tell man.
Yea, that village head gave 4 acres instead of 2 acres, right?
Yea, he gave. Why? Do you want to return it back to him or what?
First listen fully to what am saying.
Ok, say.
I am planning to go to that land.
Is it?
Good.
Go ahead.
You are also coming along with me is what am saying.
What?
Am saying you are also coming with me.
Hey, why the heck are you laughing like a mad man?
Who told that am coming along with you?
Do you understand where you are wanting us to go?
To the state estate.
Not to the liquor shop.
You.
Hey!
Come man; lets go together.
Why?
Should we go so far to die?
I wont come with you, man.
Alright then.
What can I do if you are not willing to come.
Ah?
I will go alone, then.
Ok.
Hey Linga!
Stop.
I was just joking.
When shall we go?
Get on.
Is there liquor in the house?
Come, man.
Sign of death.
Sign of death.
The north, south lunar nodes will engulf your husband.
Boo.
Hey, why are you like that?
You are going there tomorrow, right?
So?
I will be back in 4-5 days, right, after finishing all works?
Its not about that.
It seems that the forest estate is not a good place.
No one who goes there returns, right?
You please dont go.
Silly girl.
You believe everything.
Even Muthi is coming with me, right.
Hey!
You please dont go.
Padhu
Padhu
I am getting scared.
Stop.
What will happen to me?
You please dont go.
Dont be scared for everything.
Stop.
Dont know man.
I am trusting you and following you blindly.
Looking at this forest, I doubt if I will see my Rama Lakshmi again.
You trusted me, right? Keep the trust as is.
You have been roaming in these forests since childhood.
Were you never scared?
Hey Linga!
Think at least once now.
We dont know what might happen once we cross the boundary.
Ah!
See, the thorns are so pricking.
Watch
Just because the village head gave us the land, does it mean we should go?
I dont know what might happen.
Whats that?
Sounding like that?
Keep quiet, man
Hey!
Linga!
Whats all this man?
Just like us, someone might have come into the forest and died.
Then, what about us?
Same
Ah!
That's it.
Is it?
You got me here only to kill me.
Shall I serve you food ?
Not that.
It's just been 3 days of marriage and he went to the forest leaving my daughter alone.
What kind of a person is he?
He didnt even bother to think how the newly wedded girl would stay alone.
I am worried how my daughter is.
It was you only right who put the condition and made him get the papers.
He is managing his own works.
They are happy, right.
Leave it.
Eight
Nine.
Ten.
There
From the east side of that hill, 10 feet under to here.
And, from this hill to that black rock.
These are the 4 acres.
Do whatever you want to do.
Will do.
Will do.
Will do. Will do.
We found the land right?
Where are you taking me again?
It has become dark on the way itself.
Do you think we will be alive?
There will be snakes on the ground.
Ah!
Watch it.
Oh! even this?
Yes.
We used to brew liquor happily in our village.
Why do we need to struggle like this?
Is struggling anything new to us?
An unknown fear gripped me from the moment we stepped into the forest
Hey Linga!
There are no tractors or oxen here.
What are you planning to do?
What are you thinking actually?
Hey Linga!
Lets go back man.
Lets go.
Did we come this far to go back?
Walk.
Walk.
If not, for what? To die?
Hey, whats that?
Hey! No man; dont. I am scared.
Nothing will happen; come.
What?
Nothing.
In this dark night, you made me sit in this forest.
And, you put fire in front of me.
And, you are thinking like you do not know what to do next
Theres no food.
What are you planning to do?
Tell me.
Am thinking too.
Thinking?
Now?
Not about that.
Its Padhu in my thoughts.
Oh! You are thinking about Padhu?
Here, am shit scared.
Nothing will happen.
Padhu, it seems Padhu.
Like we dont have our own Padhus.
Will deal with you in the morning.
Linga!
Where has he gone?
Linga!
Linga!
Linga!
Padhu
Linga!
Hey Linga!
Hey!
Ah!
Where have you gone this early in the morning?
Wait, am coming.
Hey!
Come, will tell.
Where did you go without telling me?
Where is Brother?
Sir is in middle of some work.
Wait for 2 minutes, sir.
Hey!
Brother?
Brother?
Come out once, Brother.
Please wait sir.
Come out once.
Sir, please listen to me once sir.
This fellow wont stop no matter what.
Here
Will see you later.
Hey
What?
Your frustration is more than the breathlessness I had inside.
What happened?
Its been 2 days that he had gone to the forest estate.
You said whoever goes to the estate will not return alive.
The news of his death has not reached my ears yet.
I will only go and kill him.
Hey!
Stop.
Our state estate is a massive labyrinth.
One can only enter it
there's no coming back
Leave it.
Whats that?
Wild cat.
Hey, see that.
Hey, see that first.
Wow. Wow. Wow.
What a beauty you are!
You are a newly married woman.
How can he leave you and go to the forest?
What are you thinking?
Dont be worried that hes not there to sleep with you.
I will come tonight.
Exactly like this, your husband, out of his rage
took the papers and went to the forest.
Neither will I let him come back alive from the forest
nor will I let you live in peace here.
Linga
Linga, wake up
Linga, get up.
Linga
Hey!
It is coming.
How come you are here?
Come.
It will kill all of us.
Come, lets go.
Who?
Get up
Come
Where is Muthi?
Muthi.
Come, let's go.
To where?
Come Linga
What happened?
How did you come?
Wait
To where?
It will kill us too.
First tell me, where are you taking me to?
Come Linga
Hey!
Tell
Hey!
Hey
Voices in head.
Where did he go again?
Linga!
Linga!
Linga!
Its been 2 days that he had gone to the forest estate.
You said whoever goes to the estate will not return alive.
The news of his death has not reached my ears yet.
I will only go and kill him.
Our state estate is a massive labyrinth.
One can only enter it
but there's no coming back
Ah!
Hey Linga!
Whats all this?
You come. Theres a lot to tell you.
During the final stages of her life,
the property your mother left behind for you
This Box.
During your lifetime, the items in this box will be of your use, Son.
You will find all your answers in this.
You are the royal heir to this familys heritage, son.
Grandfather
After my Grandfather passed away,
I have come many times for that box.
Finally, one day
During the 18th century
Rudragiri kingdom was ruled by Machiraju.
He never cared for the safety of the people
Because of his greed for wealth and the throne, he invaded many kingdoms.
Eventually, with his increasing greed for power,
He laid his eyes on the Kalinga kingdom located hundreds of miles away.
During that time, the Kalinga kingdom was ruled by RanaSimha.
Machirajus several invasions on Kalinga
failed miserably because of the mighty power of RanaSimha.
In despair of constant defeats,
Machiraju had a sudden death.
His successor, Bailudu took over the throne
In order to fulfil his fathers wish of defeating Kalinga
he conspired with his ministers to win over Kalinga
he too was defeated in his battle with RanaSimha
Bailudu decided that he needs demonic powers along with man power, in order to win over Kalinga.
He met with an evil conjurer, Dharka
After many black magics, he created an evil named Asura Dakshi.
With the help of Asura Dakshi, Bailudu defeated Kalinga
He seized all its treasures and took Kalingas deity to his Kingdom.
A secret unknown to the Kingdom.
RanaSimha, lets his successors Maha Kalinga and Chola Kalinga
escape with the help of his chief minister,
After a few days
Bailudus kingdom got trapped in evil disorder
spreading deadly diseases
On top of that
Asura Dakshi started feeding on the humans.
Dharka and Bailudu could also not bring Asura Dakshi into control.
Then Bailudus wife, Queen Shakuntala Devi
approached the saint, Giri Maharshi for a solution.
Shakuntala Devi.
Had your husband fought a moral war,
the people of your kingdom wouldnt have suffered
But your husband fought an unethical battle.
Because of his wrong doings
the suffering in your kingdom will never end.
There is no rectification to the sins my husband has committed.
For that, please punish us and advise us a solution to stop this genocide.
For every sin, there will be a penance.
Since you are asking for the well being of the people,
there is a solution to this problem.
What is it, master?
Establishment of village deity.
Establishment of deity?
Yes.
You have to establish the deity at the village border.
Called and worshipped by several names
You need establish the Goddess, Prathyangira matha
Once the Goddess is established,
Worship the Goddess with a divine bath, clothe, an auspicious thread, sandal wood, fruits and fragrance.
Seek forgiveness
This goddess will not let any evil enter the village.
This is not a new tradition.
Since the time of Ramayana,
Before Sri Rama left his kingdom to live in exile,
he worshipped the village deity and left after seeking her blessings.
We are following the same tradition till date.
Once the village deity is established,
between 12 and 120 years of time.
unforeseen events will occur in your kingdom
On one full moon day
Hundreds of miles away from here
in the premises of Bhuthala marri
in Pathala Ganga cave
the treasures you have unfairly seized from Kalinga
and Kalingas Presiding diety, Prathyangira matha's idol should be returned
and once a member of your family self-sacrifices,
this problem will be solved
Is there no other way other than Self-sacrifice, master?
If you are worried about losing one life from your family,
you will have to lose hundreds of lives of people in your kingdom.
Shakuntala Devi
even if a single thing is missed in all this,
the blessing of the goddess will fade away
and the anger of Asura Dakshi will reign on your kingdom again.
Shakuntala Devi
even if one thing is missed in all this
the blessing of the goddess will fade away
the anger of Asura Dakshi will reign on your kingdom.
I am leaving with a great hope that I will find an end to this mystery.
I remain.
As said in that book,
I followed the path that the King travelled.
Finally, I reached this cave.
The idol of our deity that was brought like that
is hidden somewhere in this cave.
That means that the treasures that the king brought here belong to your family heritage?
Are you the Royal heir of that lineage?
Are you doing all of this for your familys deity idol?
Hey Linga!
Do you think whatever the saint said is true?
Do you think the treasure is really hidden here?
I don't know
I am confused seeing all this.
Do you think all this is true?
True, or not.
All the answers should be found here only.
My goodness.
Whats this Linga?
Such an big story behind our village deity and the treasure?
You came for this treasure, right?
Hey, Linga! You are not an ordinary guy.
If you have come to the forest without the land papers,
our village people might have doubted you.
You fooled the entire village, right?
You were sure the village head would never give the papers
so, you provoked his brother and made the village head give away this land in haste.
How smart are you.
Hey, lets go.
Hey!
Just how liquor keeps coming as we keep brewing it;
Its as long as we keep walking
Of course, do you think hidden treasure is a joke?
Hey wait
Huh
Huh
What is this stink smell?
Are you sure there is treasure here?
Give me the smoke.
Here.
Lets go.
Linga!
What you said is true.
Hmm
Hey
I will use this sword.
Hmm
Ah!
How did he come?
My brother said that whoever comes here, dies.
Thats why I waited.
Since you are not dead; I came here to kill you.
I came here knowing that this is a cursed estate and it is fatal.
You could not do anything in the village itself.
What the heck will you do here?
You are just like the ash in my smoke.
I will kill you.
Hey
Ramana
Where are you all?
Hey! Where are you all?
The rage of the Kalinga heir born under the auspicious star
emerges as a powerful weapon
with the blessings of the Goddess, will destroy the evil.
Muthi.
I always knew that you will be a very fortunate guy.
Generational wealth, uncle.
How will I let it slip.
For your generational wealth, you almost ended my generation.
Linga!
Tell us at least now, how did you both come out alive from the forest?
Thats a big story, uncle.
I will tell you.
After few years
On one full moon day when evil powers arise..
Vedas, Upanishads and historic literature.
Lord Sri Maha Vishnus rage to destroy
the immortal demons is tremendously dangerous.
When child Prahalad said that his Lord Hari can be found anywhere we search for
his father, Hiranyakashipu challenged him
to show him in the pillar and kicked it.
Out came the Lord Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy
a ferocious being who was half man and half lion
and destroyed Hiranyakashipu with a wild rage.
The rage became uncontrollable even by the gods
Thus, Gods seek Lord Shivas aid.
He assigns Kalabhairawa to handle it
Even Kalabhairawa fails to control the Lord's rage.
At that point, Lord Shiva himself disguised as an Eagle attacks Narasimha Swamy
A two-headed wild bird emerges from the anger of Narasimha Swamy
This battle goes on for days
The Heaven, Earth and Hell are gripped in the fear of death
God's seek aid from the Goddess of Power.
The Goddess with her power, force and mightiness emerges
as Goddess Prathyangira Matha
and dissolves the immense outrage of Narasimha Swamy
and calms him.
Lion faced,
ferocious and powerful,
as the Goddess who destroys evil forces
Prathyangira Matha is worshipped
Even this village
is displaying signs of evil powers at every step.
Lets see how Prathyangira Matha destroys those evil forces
What must be my deaf wife doing at this time?
Malli
Malli
Hey Malli
When did you come?
I came a while ago
First, serve me food
Why were you late today?
I went to the well to store water.
Thats why I got late today.
Oh Careful
Someones calling
Malli
Hey Malli
Hmm
I myself didnt hear anything.
How did my deaf wife hear?
Malli
Malli
Where did she go in this dark night?
Malli
Malli
Malli
Malli
Where did she vanish?
Malli
Ah!!!
Malli
What happened Sir, you came at this late hour?
Been to the neighbouring village.
Is any alliance fixed for your daughter?
Hmm, still checking.
Even I have a sister
I dont know how I will get her married.
One minute, Sir.
My knife ?
Ive kept it here only;
Don't know where it has gone.
Whatever maybe the problem;
I will find the solution.
Before the curse from the eternities
spreads over my kingdom;
I have to fulfill the promises made to my people.
My prime duty is to sacrifice all my relationships.
The time has arrived for me to sacrifice my life for the greater good of my people.
I have to discover a weapon to destroy the curse that has seized over my kingdom.
I am leaving with a great hope that I will find an end to this mysterious puzzle.
I remain.
Kalinga
Present
What is this ritual all about, old man?
According to our villages tradition,
when someone from our village dies,
it is our custom to offer them to the nature.
and we have to follow this tradition.
See.
We have to leave this place in just two minutes.
Else, we wont be alive.
No one should turn back.
Hey
Hey
Bring the liquor
What's up, man?
Heard you went to Lakshmis house last night
I made her husband sit outside.
went in and finished my work.
Bring it. Bring it.
Hey, pour here.
Hey.
Lets go.
Hey.
Where are you going without paying the money?
What?
Money?
Send your wife with me;
I will pay in full.
Looks like you all need a hard hit down below.
How dare you talk like that?
Hey
What?
Money?
Send your wife with me;
I will pay in full.
I know how to brew liquor and also how to blast.
Hey Hey.
Enough now.
Will you kill him or what. Come.
Lets go.
Hey.
Start the car.
Wheres my brother?
Kids, youngsters, old people, everyone - Listen up.
In order to avoid any evil powers entering the village,
there will be a ritual performed at the borders of the village
hence nobody should come out of their homes at night.
Namaste Sir.
What Ranga?
Why have you come?
Sir, I came to collect my land documents.
What?
Your land documents?
Bali.
You have come crossing 10 villages.
We will talk after you eat something.
No, no sir.
Hey
Serve him food.
Go
Sir, I have repaid all the loan amount.
I will leave if you give me my land papers.
Huh!
You have paid the money, but
I dont feel like giving back your land to you.
Sir, please dont say like that sir.
You are like a God.
If so, then consider you gave your land to the God himself.
Sir, sir please dont say like that.
I will fall on your feet.
Its my kids future sir.
We are not Gods to give future to everyone.
We are evil.
You have tainted yourself by killing him.
Clean yourself and come.
We should attend the village fair.
Hey.
Sir.
Dump this body outside the village border.
Ok sir.
Hurray! Hurray!
Lets dance that even the rocks can tune in.
Let everything be deranged with the heaviness of our sounds.
Its going to be a frantic dance.
Let sky be the limit for this feast.
All are equal for us.
But, if you mess up I will put you to sleep.
Bless us our Village deity.
Today, its all about you.
We all are innocent.
You trusted our capacity.
Hurray! Hurray!
Lets dance that even the rocks can tune in.
Let everything be deranged with the heaviness of our sounds.
Every move, every tune stops at the glance of your glare.
Partner with me and I will be all yours.
Walk with me like my companion.
The wedding bells will follow along;
blushing that we are made for each other.
Is the village fair going on well than the last year?
Make sure nothing is disorganised for people.
Okay Sir.
Along with this, the complete offering box should be sent home by evening?
Understood?
Okay Sir.
Lets go.
Father-in-law
Hmm
I will leave now.
See Dad, he is not listening to me.
You tell him.
I have works back in my village, father-in-law.
I should go.
How can u leave like that Son-in-law?
Per our villages tradition, we have the ritual happening tonight.
we are not supposed to step out of the village till the ritual is completed
Okay father-in-law.
Hmm. You never listen to me know.
What Shivayya?
Oh, he started.
Are you utilising the profits from your crops well?
What profits, Uncle?
The profits are not sufficient even to repay the debts.
Not understanding how to provide for my wife and children.
Dont worry; even we will have good days.
Few days will be dark; but then light follows.
Why is he still not coming.
What good days, Uncle.
When will the good time come and when will we see it.
Here, It will come man.
Hmm. Why are you rising the bike onto me?
How long should I wait for you?
Instead of waiting, you should have come for me.
Yea, its so easy for you to say.
Can't you come for me till there?
Such long distance on my cycle?
How can I?
And that too, you went to the forest, right?
You go any far for Ramalakshmi.
Hey, stop
How scared are you?
What happened, boys?
See Uncle.
Yea yea, am observing.
I should get him married.
Dad, you dont start off about my marriage now.
Was it necessary now?
Did you have food, Son?
No Uncle.
I made fish curry at home.
Have it.
Sure.
Dad, give me 100 rupees.
You.
Enough. Should you remove your slipper to tell me to eat Fish?
Ok, will leave now.
Hey, lets go.
Go, you stupid boy.
I will leave; you continue.
What is this, Uncle?
You were yelling at your own son; but were very good to Linga.
Hey.
My son has me.
But, its not the same for Linga.
I am everything to him.
He is a very good man.
Okay, I will leave now.
Okay.
What's up, man?
All day, you roam around Padhu.
Did you tell her at the Fair yesterday?
I didn't tell.
Didnt you tell?
When will you tell then?
We should not rush for everything.
We should wait for the right time.
Is it?
Will you propose to her at least today, or not?
See today.
You keep saying that;
till someone comes and marries her.
Padhu is mine.
From dawn, the day has gone to dusk.
Where is your Padhu?
Shell come, wait.
I dont know man.
Hey
Youll never get an opportunity like this in your life
Tell it quickly.
Hey hey wait.
Padhu
Padhu
Hmmm
What?
You are calling me as if am your wife.
Whats the matter?
I am standing here and you are not even looking at me.
Hmmm.
Are you waiting for me or what?
Yesterday, I saw you in the village fair;
you were looking gorgeous.
Hmmm
Tell me now.
Whats the story?
It is.
I have been wanting to tell you something from a very long time
But
I am scared.
Ah?
Yesterday, you beat the men at your liquor shop without any fear
Why are you fearing now?
What?
No, nothing.
Tell me.
Yea, do you like me or not?
Hmmm
Padhu
Hey
Padhu
Say something and go.
Youve been seeing me since childhood.
Dont you know still?
Padhu
Hey.
Did you tell her?
Should we fix the marriage date?
Did she say Yes or No?
Huh
Hmm.
If you yourself are doubtful, then forget it.
Enough
Is this all necessary?
Come, come. Start the bike.
Stop staring. Start the bike.
Chinnu
Wait. That's not that way
Chinnu
Chinnu, wait
Chinnu, dont run
Chinnu
Hey Chinnu
Where have you gone?
Where have you gone?
Chinnu
Chinnu
What are doing here?
I am going to my mother home
Way to your mother's house is that side.
Why hav you come this side?
My daughter ran in this direction
That's why I came in this route.
Don't you know that you should not come this side?
Don't you know that you should not cross the border?
I know.
I will take my daughter and leave
Take your daughter and leave this place quickly.
Chinnu
Where did you go?
If you are here
then, your mother?
What happened?
Sir.
Hey
Go back.
Hey, old man.
Come here.
Sir
Who is this girl?
My grand daughter sir.
Is she the one who attained puberty, last year?
Yes Sir.
Your son died, right?
How will you get this girl married?
Shes just a child, sir.
So...
You wont get her married at all?
Okay.
Do one thing.
Send your grand daughter to my home for work.
I will make her do all the works.
Hey.
Drag her into the car.
Sir, sir, I beg you. I will fall at your feet.
Grandfather, help me.
Sir, sir.
Sir, please leave my granddaughter.
Leave me, leave me.
Sir, sir.
Leave me
I will fall on your feet.
Leave me
Hey
Drag her quickly.
Let her go.
How dare you?
Leave her.
Leave her.
Hey
let her go.
Insult is a very dangerous thing.
If wealthy people like us insult a poor man
he will hang himself or poison himself and die.
But, if the same poor man insults us
we conspire how to murder him.
If its a man, you should kill him.
If its a woman, you should assault her.
And, it should be done before your rage fades.
Hey.
Your father-in-law is coming.
Greetings father-in-law.
Hey, I lost all my respect today because of you.
Hey, why are you so scared of him, man?
Is he the only one who has a daughter?
You just say yes.
We have hundreds of girls in our village.
They are not even thirty yet; but strongly addicted to booze.
Bloody drunkards.
Get married happily.
Ah?
Have kids.
What do you lack?
There are many girls if not his daughter.
Padhu is mine.
Why are you kissing me? I am not your Padhu.
My father-in-law is here.
My father-in-law is here.
He will give his daughter to me in marriage.
Complete waste fellows.
What's wrong?
Why are the cows bellowing?
Your father is not at home.
Go, check once.
Okay, will go.
Hey
I am telling you again.
Dont mess with me.
Let me go.
Why did you interfere with my business in the morning?
What you did in the morning was wrong.
And, what you are doing now is also wrong.
What the hell is wrong?
I won't spare you today.
Huh..
Got both of them at the same time.
Her honour
his life
both should be destroyed today.
Ahh
Leave it, boss.
Hey
Let go, boss.
Is this me?
Or, have I forgotten myself
hovering in your thoughts.
Have the worlds come together
to seize these moments?
Unknown of this new faintness
thats impending afresh on me.
My life has now become hers
with our desires aligned.
The sweetness of our dreams is making our hearts blush.
Is this me?
Or, have I forgotten myself
hovering in your thoughts.
Have the worlds come together
to seize these moments?
Thoughts became the words
drenched me like raindrops.
Some sweetness fumbled me this moment.
My hearts chant about you
spoke like a melody.
The tune that fiddled with my heart is Love.
This journey.
Love is the destination
My life
is now a part of yours.
We are one, and that is the truth.
Is this me?
Or, have I forgotten myself
hovering in your thoughts.
Have the worlds come together
to seize these moments?
..
During the weakining time of the planets.
The dark rule of the demons
the vast possession of the evil powers
A caged triangle spell
I was thinking where have you gone, leaving me.
Is this the matter?
Padhu is mine.
Good, carry on.
What is this, Muthi?
Your friend is roaming the whole village with that girl.
Yes
They both are in love and hence they are together.
Whats wrong in that?
She escaped from me several times.
I have to do something.
What will you do?
Was the thrashing not enough?
This time, he will chop your legs, not just your hands,
What will he chop?
Wont he get caught again?
I wont spare him without killing this time.
I will see his end.
I have to talk to my father-in-law about my marriage with Padhu.
Tomorrow, I should somehow talk to Padhu's father about our marriage.
When are you planning the wedding then?
That will be fixed too.
Hey Linga.
Come here.
Hey, go go
Namaste Sir!
You are not to be seen these days, why?
Nothing Sir.
I am in the village only.
Debt amount?
I will come to the palace and pay it off sir.
Okay, go.
Hey
Leave.
Yea
Leaving sir, leaving.
Ignore them; I am here for you.
I underestimated him.
He might be old, but definitely a good player.
Is it so?
If you marry my daughter,
how are you planning to provide for her?
Ahh!!
Brother, give it to me.
Take it.
Whats the matter, brother; youve come here?
Our Linga wants to say something.
Say.
Yea Uncle.
Padhu and I like each other since a long time.
If you permit, I would like to marry her.
Is it?
If you marry my daughter, how are you planning to provide for her?
I am working right, Uncle?
What, brewing liquor?
Like all other Fathers, I also want to get my daughter married to a guy who owns a farm.
Not to someone like you who brews cheap liquor.
Hey, give your daughter to my friend.
He will treat her like gold.
Why will I give?
You bloody booze and tumble everywhere.
You are telling me.
Just shut up.
He's finished.
Hey, wait.
Hey.
Father.
Stop.
Keep quiet.
What are you saying Uncle?
Even I have 2 acres of farming land, right?
You have a farming land?
Where is it?
The one youve mortgaged to the Village head?
Your father couldnt release it; you too couldnt.
Its not an issue, uncle.
I will get my farm back.
Will you give me Padhus hand in marriage?
Go, get your farm released and come.
Ill see then.
I will get my farm back.
Will you approve of our marriage?
Ive never seen anyone getting their land back from the Village head
Leave all that, uncle.
I will get my land papers from the Village head and give it to you.
Will you then agree to our marriage?
Okay, will accept then.
Hey, Linga.
Do you think he will get his land papers?
Yea. Like the Village head will ever give and this guy will ever get.
Dont know where he was born.
And, he grew up here.
Will I give my daughter to such a person?
See.
Tell her to forget about him.
I will handle here.
Hmm
You, carry on.
What happened?
Why are you staring at him?
Hey
He is upto something.
What is Padhu doing?
Shes inside.
Did she eat?
She didnt eat though I asked many times.
Why so?
Ah!
Why else.
Just like you she is also stubborn.
I am the one suffering in between.
Why are you talking like that?
Whatever I do is for her good only, right?.
He is a drunkard.
Are you telling me to get my daughter married to such a person?
Ah!
Why are you yelling at me?
Padhu
Come for dinner
Padhu
Hey!
Why are you here?
My father talks like that only.
Lets go and get married.
Hey!
Why are you stressing your mind with so many thoughts?
I gave my word to your father.
I will handle everything.
Crazy girl.
Do whatever you want, but marry me.
Hmm
I will leave.
Hmm
Whats up man!
Your face is glowing.
What a story!
Hey Srinu
Why did you get all these when I told you to get toddy?
You could have got from our Mallis shop.
Whats up
Where have you both been?
Oh! Here are the gentlemen.
Have you already started, father?
Here
This is for Linga.
You take this.
Linga
What have you decided?
Damn you!
What else is left to decide.
We have to question and bash the Village head.
Ah!
Hes not your father to give the papers as soon as you ask.
Hes a rogue of the village.
Ahh
Father, you are drunk.
Enough of your blabbering. Go home and sleep.
When did you guys ever listen to me?
Is that necessary now?
Giving birth to you itself was so unnecessary.
Whats the point in regretting now.
Go.
You tell, Linga. What shall we do?
How long will we live like this?
Thats the point.
Did you hear?
I will not forsake my land, no matter what.
Hmm. No letting go.
Will see.
Yes, will see.
Will see, that's all.
Will see.
Otherwise.
Come.
Come on.
Will he go now itself?
Thats it.
What? Thats it.
You idiot.
Hey; think again. Is this all necessary?
You yourself have told right, will question him, bash him.
Greetings Sir!
Greetings Sir!
Whats up?
How come all the field workers are here today?
Maybe they have come to plead for money for liquor tonight.
It's regarding the 2 acers land that my grandfather has pledged here
I came to collect the papers.
Exactly 53 years ago,
longing to re-claim the land your grandfather has mortgaged with me.
your grandfather passed away
and your father too passed away.
And, now you have come for the same land.
Look.
I am telling you the same thing that I told your father.
Pay the balance interest amount of 10 years
and then take your papers.
In any calculation, your account has been settled long ago.
My grandfather paid, my father paid and am still paying.
Today, you have to give me my papers.
And, I need to leave with my papers.
What?
Talking too much?
Bali
First, serve food for everyone.
If you serve food, I am not one to eat, salute and leave like Rangaiah.
Linga
Linga
What will you do?
What will you do?
I will leave only after collecting my land papers.
Hey, dont.
Bali.
You wait.
Linga
I will give you a bumper offer.
Instead of 2 acres in the village,
I will give you 4 acres in the State estate
Ok, give me.
Hey
get those papers.
Sir
Hey Linga.
You left your good village land and took that forest land?
Hmmm.
You are doing all this for marriage, right?
obviously.
Brother.
Why did you give him the papers; instead of killing him?
Hey!
He might be an unwealthy guy but not a coward.
And, moreover, whoever came to buy the land in our State estate died.
Its a cursed land.
Not all matters should be handled physically
sometimes, we have to play mind games.
He will die without us killing him.
..
Grandfather, why are we going this route?
If we go in the regular route, it will be 10 miles.
It is only 2 miles in this shortcut.
I am scared Grandfather.
We will cross this forest in a moment.
Life gets heavy if you are fearful.
When you overcome your fears, life becomes easy.
I will tell you a story in this dark forest.
Listen son.
There was an empire ruled by a king.
Because of his brutality, many kingdoms were destroyed.
Many royal heirs lost their lives.
Kalinga empire is one among them.
The treasure brought from that kingdom
is hidden somewhere in this forest.
Grandfather.
Grandfather.
Where are you, Grandfather?
Grandfather, I am scared.
Grandfather.
The same dream over and over again.
Where will this puzzle lead me to?
Is my wedding tomorrow going to safeguard my life
Or,
destruct it?
The sweetness of the lips
The sweetness of the face
The sweetness of the eyes
The sweetness of the lover.
The sweetness of the heart
The sweetness of the movement
Everything captured with sweetness is sweet.
Her twisting lips
sprinkle a jasmine fragrance.
Dancing just like in my dreams,
See, he didn't even shave on his wedding day.
it's ok, stop.
Bless them
shes in my arms.
Is there no way to halt the time?
Our Linga has a family now
I cannot handle this temptation at this moment.
In this cozy moonlight
having her next to me.
In her warm breath,
I am diving deep.
The entire night is ours.
The naughtiness is common.
Her naughty eyes wont let me blink a moment.
Captured in intoxication
everything seems strange.
We are stringed together as a pair.

Hey!
Ah!
What are you doing there?
Forget what am doing. First tell me, why did you come here.
Stop that and come down.
I need to talk to you.
Its sounding very suspicious if you are wanting to have a talk.
Theres nothing suspicious; you first come down, man.
You first tell man.
Yea, that village head gave 4 acres instead of 2 acres, right?
Yea, he gave. Why? Do you want to return it back to him or what?
First listen fully to what am saying.
Ok, say.
I am planning to go to that land.
Is it?
Good.
Go ahead.
You are also coming along with me is what am saying.
What?
Am saying you are also coming with me.
Hey, why the heck are you laughing like a mad man?
Who told that am coming along with you?
Do you understand where you are wanting us to go?
To the state estate.
Not to the liquor shop.
You.
Hey!
Come man; lets go together.
Why?
Should we go so far to die?
I wont come with you, man.
Alright then.
What can I do if you are not willing to come.
Ah?
I will go alone, then.
Ok.
Hey Linga!
Stop.
I was just joking.
When shall we go?
Get on.
Is there liquor in the house?
Come, man.
Sign of death.
Sign of death.
The north, south lunar nodes will engulf your husband.
Boo.
Hey, why are you like that?
You are going there tomorrow, right?
So?
I will be back in 4-5 days, right, after finishing all works?
Its not about that.
It seems that the forest estate is not a good place.
No one who goes there returns, right?
You please dont go.
Silly girl.
You believe everything.
Even Muthi is coming with me, right.
Hey!
You please dont go.
Padhu
Padhu
I am getting scared.
Stop.
What will happen to me?
You please dont go.
Dont be scared for everything.
Stop.
Dont know man.
I am trusting you and following you blindly.
Looking at this forest, I doubt if I will see my Rama Lakshmi again.
You trusted me, right? Keep the trust as is.
You have been roaming in these forests since childhood.
Were you never scared?
Hey Linga!
Think at least once now.
We dont know what might happen once we cross the boundary.
Ah!
See, the thorns are so pricking.
Watch
Just because the village head gave us the land, does it mean we should go?
I dont know what might happen.
Whats that?
Sounding like that?
Keep quiet, man
Hey!
Linga!
Whats all this man?
Just like us, someone might have come into the forest and died.
Then, what about us?
Same
Ah!
That's it.
Is it?
You got me here only to kill me.
Shall I serve you food ?
Not that.
It's just been 3 days of marriage and he went to the forest leaving my daughter alone.
What kind of a person is he?
He didnt even bother to think how the newly wedded girl would stay alone.
I am worried how my daughter is.
It was you only right who put the condition and made him get the papers.
He is managing his own works.
They are happy, right.
Leave it.
Eight
Nine.
Ten.
There
From the east side of that hill, 10 feet under to here.
And, from this hill to that black rock.
These are the 4 acres.
Do whatever you want to do.
Will do.
Will do.
Will do. Will do.
We found the land right?
Where are you taking me again?
It has become dark on the way itself.
Do you think we will be alive?
There will be snakes on the ground.
Ah!
Watch it.
Oh! even this?
Yes.
We used to brew liquor happily in our village.
Why do we need to struggle like this?
Is struggling anything new to us?
An unknown fear gripped me from the moment we stepped into the forest
Hey Linga!
There are no tractors or oxen here.
What are you planning to do?
What are you thinking actually?
Hey Linga!
Lets go back man.
Lets go.
Did we come this far to go back?
Walk.
Walk.
If not, for what? To die?
Hey, whats that?
Hey! No man; dont. I am scared.
Nothing will happen; come.
What?
Nothing.
In this dark night, you made me sit in this forest.
And, you put fire in front of me.
And, you are thinking like you do not know what to do next
Theres no food.
What are you planning to do?
Tell me.
Am thinking too.
Thinking?
Now?
Not about that.
Its Padhu in my thoughts.
Oh! You are thinking about Padhu?
Here, am shit scared.
Nothing will happen.
Padhu, it seems Padhu.
Like we dont have our own Padhus.
Will deal with you in the morning.
Linga!
Where has he gone?
Linga!
Linga!
Linga!
Padhu
Linga!
Hey Linga!
Hey!
Ah!
Where have you gone this early in the morning?
Wait, am coming.
Hey!
Come, will tell.
Where did you go without telling me?
Where is Brother?
Sir is in middle of some work.
Wait for 2 minutes, sir.
Hey!
Brother?
Brother?
Come out once, Brother.
Please wait sir.
Come out once.
Sir, please listen to me once sir.
This fellow wont stop no matter what.
Here
Will see you later.
Hey
What?
Your frustration is more than the breathlessness I had inside.
What happened?
Its been 2 days that he had gone to the forest estate.
You said whoever goes to the estate will not return alive.
The news of his death has not reached my ears yet.
I will only go and kill him.
Hey!
Stop.
Our state estate is a massive labyrinth.
One can only enter it
there's no coming back
Leave it.
Whats that?
Wild cat.
Hey, see that.
Hey, see that first.
Wow. Wow. Wow.
What a beauty you are!
You are a newly married woman.
How can he leave you and go to the forest?
What are you thinking?
Dont be worried that hes not there to sleep with you.
I will come tonight.
Exactly like this, your husband, out of his rage
took the papers and went to the forest.
Neither will I let him come back alive from the forest
nor will I let you live in peace here.
Linga
Linga, wake up
Linga, get up.
Linga
Hey!
It is coming.
How come you are here?
Come.
It will kill all of us.
Come, lets go.
Who?
Get up
Come
Where is Muthi?
Muthi.
Come, let's go.
To where?
Come Linga
What happened?
How did you come?
Wait
To where?
It will kill us too.
First tell me, where are you taking me to?
Come Linga
Hey!
Tell
Hey!
Hey
Voices in head.
Where did he go again?
Linga!
Linga!
Linga!
Its been 2 days that he had gone to the forest estate.
You said whoever goes to the estate will not return alive.
The news of his death has not reached my ears yet.
I will only go and kill him.
Our state estate is a massive labyrinth.
One can only enter it
but there's no coming back
Ah!
Hey Linga!
Whats all this?
You come. Theres a lot to tell you.
During the final stages of her life,
the property your mother left behind for you
This Box.
During your lifetime, the items in this box will be of your use, Son.
You will find all your answers in this.
You are the royal heir to this familys heritage, son.
Grandfather
After my Grandfather passed away,
I have come many times for that box.
Finally, one day
During the 18th century
Rudragiri kingdom was ruled by Machiraju.
He never cared for the safety of the people
Because of his greed for wealth and the throne, he invaded many kingdoms.
Eventually, with his increasing greed for power,
He laid his eyes on the Kalinga kingdom located hundreds of miles away.
During that time, the Kalinga kingdom was ruled by RanaSimha.
Machirajus several invasions on Kalinga
failed miserably because of the mighty power of RanaSimha.
In despair of constant defeats,
Machiraju had a sudden death.
His successor, Bailudu took over the throne
In order to fulfil his fathers wish of defeating Kalinga
he conspired with his ministers to win over Kalinga
he too was defeated in his battle with RanaSimha
Bailudu decided that he needs demonic powers along with man power, in order to win over Kalinga.
He met with an evil conjurer, Dharka
After many black magics, he created an evil named Asura Dakshi.
With the help of Asura Dakshi, Bailudu defeated Kalinga
He seized all its treasures and took Kalingas deity to his Kingdom.
A secret unknown to the Kingdom.
RanaSimha, lets his successors Maha Kalinga and Chola Kalinga
escape with the help of his chief minister,
After a few days
Bailudus kingdom got trapped in evil disorder
spreading deadly diseases
On top of that
Asura Dakshi started feeding on the humans.
Dharka and Bailudu could also not bring Asura Dakshi into control.
Then Bailudus wife, Queen Shakuntala Devi
approached the saint, Giri Maharshi for a solution.
Shakuntala Devi.
Had your husband fought a moral war,
the people of your kingdom wouldnt have suffered
But your husband fought an unethical battle.
Because of his wrong doings
the suffering in your kingdom will never end.
There is no rectification to the sins my husband has committed.
For that, please punish us and advise us a solution to stop this genocide.
For every sin, there will be a penance.
Since you are asking for the well being of the people,
there is a solution to this problem.
What is it, master?
Establishment of village deity.
Establishment of deity?
Yes.
You have to establish the deity at the village border.
Called and worshipped by several names
You need establish the Goddess, Prathyangira matha
Once the Goddess is established,
Worship the Goddess with a divine bath, clothe, an auspicious thread, sandal wood, fruits and fragrance.
Seek forgiveness
This goddess will not let any evil enter the village.
This is not a new tradition.
Since the time of Ramayana,
Before Sri Rama left his kingdom to live in exile,
he worshipped the village deity and left after seeking her blessings.
We are following the same tradition till date.
Once the village deity is established,
between 12 and 120 years of time.
unforeseen events will occur in your kingdom
On one full moon day
Hundreds of miles away from here
in the premises of Bhuthala marri
in Pathala Ganga cave
the treasures you have unfairly seized from Kalinga
and Kalingas Presiding diety, Prathyangira matha's idol should be returned
and once a member of your family self-sacrifices,
this problem will be solved
Is there no other way other than Self-sacrifice, master?
If you are worried about losing one life from your family,
you will have to lose hundreds of lives of people in your kingdom.
Shakuntala Devi
even if a single thing is missed in all this,
the blessing of the goddess will fade away
and the anger of Asura Dakshi will reign on your kingdom again.
Shakuntala Devi
even if one thing is missed in all this
the blessing of the goddess will fade away
the anger of Asura Dakshi will reign on your kingdom.
I am leaving with a great hope that I will find an end to this mystery.
I remain.
As said in that book,
I followed the path that the King travelled.
Finally, I reached this cave.
The idol of our deity that was brought like that
is hidden somewhere in this cave.
That means that the treasures that the king brought here belong to your family heritage?
Are you the Royal heir of that lineage?
Are you doing all of this for your familys deity idol?
Hey Linga!
Do you think whatever the saint said is true?
Do you think the treasure is really hidden here?
I don't know
I am confused seeing all this.
Do you think all this is true?
True, or not.
All the answers should be found here only.
My goodness.
Whats this Linga?
Such an big story behind our village deity and the treasure?
You came for this treasure, right?
Hey, Linga! You are not an ordinary guy.
If you have come to the forest without the land papers,
our village people might have doubted you.
You fooled the entire village, right?
You were sure the village head would never give the papers
so, you provoked his brother and made the village head give away this land in haste.
How smart are you.
Hey, lets go.
Hey!
Just how liquor keeps coming as we keep brewing it;
Its as long as we keep walking
Of course, do you think hidden treasure is a joke?
Hey wait
Huh
Huh
What is this stink smell?
Are you sure there is treasure here?
Give me the smoke.
Here.
Lets go.
Linga!
What you said is true.
Hmm
Hey
I will use this sword.
Hmm
Ah!
How did he come?
My brother said that whoever comes here, dies.
Thats why I waited.
Since you are not dead; I came here to kill you.
I came here knowing that this is a cursed estate and it is fatal.
You could not do anything in the village itself.
What the heck will you do here?
You are just like the ash in my smoke.
I will kill you.
Hey
Ramana
Where are you all?
Hey! Where are you all?
The rage of the Kalinga heir born under the auspicious star
emerges as a powerful weapon
with the blessings of the Goddess, will destroy the evil.
Muthi.
I always knew that you will be a very fortunate guy.
Generational wealth, uncle.
How will I let it slip.
For your generational wealth, you almost ended my generation.
Linga!
Tell us at least now, how did you both come out alive from the forest?
Thats a big story, uncle.
I will tell you.
After few years
On one full moon day when evil powers arise..
