Mother!
What is it, my child?
Mother, is rice ready?
Firewood isn't burning properly.
What am I to do?
Since I'm starving from morning,
I'm not lactating.
My son's dissatisfied.
Mother, I'm starving.
I've had enough!
Rice is getting done. Hold on darling.
Mother! Why is it taking you so long?
You've been at it since morning!
I'm getting it right away.
Rice,
Rice!
You and your craving for rice!
Here, eat.
Breastfeed him later.
He'll feel better.
Baby, the rice's here!
It's your good fortune.
Maadi lent us a handful of rice.
How else can folks like us…
Be able to prepare rice?
Take. Eat it.
Give me.
Hold him awhile.
Also, take this.
Give him to me.
Eat peacefully.
Take.
Come, baby.
Come, come.
Maadeva!
-My Darling! -Maadeva
When you grow up,
Get rice for all of us, baby.
Will you, baby?
My prince charming!
Oh my!
Look at him jump.
He seems to spring out like a deer.
Oh no!
Oh Mother!
What's wrong with this child?
What is this baby?
Oh… dear!
Mother, give me some…
Your mother yearned for rice terribly.
He peed on it!
Why did you pee on her plate, kid?
Oh my darling!
Give him to me. I'll pacify him.
-Pass him over. -Take him.
Why did you do that?
It's Okay baby, come here.
Okay, come.
-Give me some water. -Getting it.
It's Okay baby.
Hold on.
Calm down
-Mother, What did you do after that?
I rinsed the rice in water…
Added some onion and chilli to it,
And ate it!
I'm sorry I did that, Mother!
Oh my sweet child…
It wasn't your fault at all.
You were still a breast-feeding infant then.
Infant.
Also… you know what?
Pregnant women…
Usually crave for sour, salty, spicy & sweet food.
But I was a little odd.
I had an unusual craving for rice!
My, oh my…
Eating rice was beyond our status.
If only my craving was satisfied then;
Would you have a strong desire for rice today?
Certainly not!
Mother…
Don't stress over it.
Father has promised to get us rice today.
I see!
Let's eat until we're full when he brings the rice.
When your dad gets it, that would be really lovely!
-Okay. -Alright?
For now…
Put your slate and chalk in the bag now.
Go on…
Mother…
Yes?
When will Father return?
He'll arrive whenever…
Eat the ragi-ball I made before heading to school.
-Ragi-ball? -Yeah!
I'm not eating any ragi-ball!
Yesterday I told you, to make rice at home today.
I'll surely not eat any ragi-ball!
Will you starve then?
Hey!
My child.
At least take your bag to school!
Maadeva…
Hey Maadeva!
Hey!
Eat the ragi-ball and take your bag to school.
No way. I'd rather not!
Hey you!
You're a spoiled-brat. Utterly spoiled!
He's extremely disobedient!
Behaves exactly like his rogue father!
Bless him with some sense Lord Maadappa!

RICE
Do you own them all?
Yes Brother.
How many are there?
About 60.
40?
60!
60!?
You're a rich guy!
You're taking your money for a stroll.
Brother Chikkaninga!
Where are you headed with that sack?
Come… Come, buddy!
Come brother.
Where had you been?
What happened?
What do I tell you about our Maadeva's antics?
Last month at the Rama Temple,
He has developed a liking for jaggery-rice.
Now he's reluctant to eat nothing but rice.
Is it in our capacity to prepare rice everyday?
To savour rice daily…
Does he think we are Landlord Hanur Madappa's descendants?
That's what I told him!
But since last night, he refuses to eat anything but rice.
Since I had laboured in Madappa's fields…
I sought my payment in Rice, instead of Ragi.
So Madappa paid you with Rice?
To my bad-luck; his daughter is pregnant!
They've a lot of visitors at home.
Therefore…
"Chikkaninga";
"Take ragi instead of rice," he said, and handed me ragi.
Brother Chikkaninga!
Babies born to ragi eaters are rumored to have dark skin.
And rice-eaters give birth to fair-skinned babies.
So, after marriage; I'd rather borrow money
And eat nothing but rice, every day with my wife.
Buddy…
First get married.
Then talk about eating rice!
Marriage at this age?
Am I not old enough for marriage?
What do I say about my cursed fate?
I'm making no progress at all in life!
What's your big problem, exactly?
You're living a happy and carefree life like a king!
King's life my foot!
I long for a happily-married life.
But my idiotic elder-brother,
Keeps finding faults in all his matrimonial matches!
The moron's not bothered about his younger brother's plight!
It'll happen eventually.
Why are you so desperate?
How much longer do I wait?
I'm literally fed up of it!
Who'll marry me when I'm past my prime?
Why don't you ask my mother to find me a suitable bride?
Buddy…
Can I ask her to get you married before your elder brother?
Will your mother spare me?
Get going!
Am I asking you to find me a bride?
I'm just pleading you to convince her to get me married.
Buddy…
Let's get going first!
Talking of marriage already!
Let's both get drunk on hooch tonight.
I've got some money on me.
Will you pay for the drinks?
I'll pay don't worry.
Bribing me to talk to your mom?
Come on brother!
Bribe it is!
I'm sure that wretch has stolen it!
I'll find out where she's hidden it.
Will I let her get away with it?
I'll show her!
Nanji…
Come out for a minute.
Chikkasiddi…
Why are y'all doing in my front-yard?
Rani come here.
What's the matter darling?
Look at my cursed plight Nanji…
Of all the places,
My daughter's gold earring
Has gone missing now in your front-yard!
Do I punish Rani for losing it?
Or, do I thrash the wretched thief with a worn-out broom?
Sweet Mother!
You say, it went missing now…
How can anybody steal it so quickly?
Speak only if you've seen it.
Or if you've heard something about it!
Instead…
Squabbling like this in front of my house;
I'm not going to take it lightly!
Yeah sure…
Why would you take it lightly?
You're acting all unperturbed…
But whichever wretch has stolen my baby's gold-earring!
Shall get the beating of a lifetime from me!
Just wait & watch!
I'll show you what I'm really capable of!
If I have to find the thief who has stolen the earring…
I'll have to organise the 'haraNa' ritual!
-Do it! -Mallakka…
Get the 'haraNa'!
-The lesson for today is…
-Punyakoti's…
-STORY!
-Story
Say it properly kids.
-Punyakoti's -STORY!
What is it Maadeva?
Stop troubling!
Keep quiet!
Maadeva…
Have you done your homework?
Yes I have done it Sir!
Show it to me.
He says; he's done it!
He has written the table!
-HE HAS WRITTEN IT!
I'm surprised buddy!
You've written it.
Gavi Sidda
Sir…
Show me your homework!
Sir that…
Sir…
The slate you're holding is mine , Sir.
He snatched it from me.
I didn't know how to react.
Is it?
Come!
Come on here.
It's not my fault , Sir.
Maadeva; you too come here.
Sir…
Arriving late… was your first mistake.
Not doing your homework, is the second mistake.
Claiming his slate to be yours; is the third mistake.
Sir!
He hasn't brought his bag.
That's the fourth mistake!
Fourth Mistake!
Quite a rascal you are! Aren't you?
Go! Get you bag.
Go on!
If you don't hurry-back, y'all have it from me!
Go!
Leave!
Gavi Sidda!
Sir?
You gave him your slate right?
Yes , Sir.
Fifth mistake!
-Show me your hand. -Sir…
Hit me gently , Sir.
Sir… Sir!
Oh Mother!
Sit down!
Sir…
Sir… I want to go to the toilet.
And this is…
-The sixth mistake! -THE SIXTH MISTAKE!
Going to the toilet just after entering the school!
Huh? Huh?
The cow is…
-A GENTLE ANIMAL.
Holy Mother of all.
Come Kid.
Come here. Come.
Come on boy.
Pay your due respects.
Acknowledge it.
Oh Mother!
'Kannur-Maaravva'
Whoever has stolen Rani's earring;
Lead us to their the house.
The truth will be out.
Protect us Mother!
Here you go my boy.
Place your hands on it.
You should guide us Mother.
Holy-Mother is leading us!
Make way for the 'Harana' Clear the space.
Bear witness to the power of our 'Kannur-Maaravva'.
It's leading us straight to the thief's house.
[Indistinct Murmurs]
Spare not that thief; Mother!
Let everyone know the truth!
You've looked all over.
Did you search here?
Your daughter's earring is lying right here!
Hey Maadeva!
Come here son.
Did you get the rice Dad?
Didn't you go to the school?
You've got the rice right?
Go to school son!
I went to school without my bag…
So my teacher sent me to fetch it.
Come along.
Who goes to school without the bag?
What have you been learning?
Mother…
You've returned?
Wifey…
Why didn't you hand him the bag when he went to school?
I told him to eat before he left for school.
He scooted without his bag or breakfast!
His teacher must've remanded him.
Hence, he's returned with you.
Right?
Son, why are you sitting?
Head to school with your bag.
I'll prepare the rice, let him eat and leave.
He's been craving for it.
Sivi…
Yes?
Couldn't get rice!
What?
He's given me ragi.
What are you even saying?
He's been starving from morning.
Why would you do this?
Father…
You promised to get rice.
All you've gotten is ragi!
It's unfair!
Keep quiet!
My child.
Eat something before you leave.
I'm not eating ragi-ball.
I'll starve, if I have to!
Look; a wise-kid always eats whatever is being provided at home.
You're wise right?
No!
I'm not eating ragi-ball!
-Aren't you a wise-one? -No!
-I'm not eating! -Isn't he wise?
Yes he is.
-He's wise! -See how he'll eat!
Show her, you're wise.
-Show how wise you are. -No!
I've already told you.
Y'all have to make rice.
I'm not eating any ragi-ball!
The other starving kids have to drink water to resist their hunger.
Whereas, I'm providing timely food to you.
Don't you acknowledge it?
Look at the lavishness of his thought!
I won't eat even a morsel of that food!
I'm going to remain hungry.
-Just a little bit son… -I'm not eating!
Careful…
Hey! You wretched-kid!
Where do we get the rice from!
Don't you have any sense?
Did you see that dear?
You were claiming your son to be wise.
See what you've raised.
Madappa blessed and you've raised him!
Do we hail from any landlord's lineage to prepare rice?
He's innocent. Forget it.
Oh come on!
Feed this to him when he returns.
Hey…
Paddy is spilling from the punctured sack.
Are you guys blinded?
Shouldn't you check before filling them?
You've spilled it all along the path then?
Nandu…
What is it Mom?
Get me an old rag from there.
Where is it?
Look around for it there.
Alright.
Send the buttermilk?
Yeah sending it over.
I wonder, how you guys work?
-Hello, Sir -Stack them carefully!
-Nandu, you got the cloth? -Dibbajja.
Where are you off to?
Time for cattle-grazing , Sir.
Have some butter-milk before leaving.
I'll have it in the evening , Sir.
Who drinks buttermilk in the evening?
You drink it when the sun is up right?
How many times haven't I told you?
Your vision is weak…
Just do the household chores.
Don't wander out;
The others shall take care of it.
Do you listen to me?
I'm accustomed to the toil , Sir.
How can I laze around doing nothing Sir?
You do whatever suits you.
Alright, go on.
Okay , Sir.
Nandu…
-Yes?
Get the buttermilk.
Mother; the cloth.
-Dad was asking for the buttermilk. -Oh Shiva!
Mother…
Take it.
This is the one right?
Yes child. Can't you even figure it out?
Oh my!what a girl she is!
I don't know how many labourers are there.
Give me a few more tumblers. I'll take them too.
Nandu…
Hmm?
Isn't this our Chandu's shirt?
That…
I didn't realise it mother.
Yes, it is our Chandu's shirt indeed.
I'm sorry, I didn't do it on purpose mom.
Nandu…
Nandu!
Instead of giving buttermilk to them.
What are y'all doing inside there?
Actually Dad…
I mistook Chandu's shirt for an old cloth.
That's why, Mom's a bit…
You're always like this!
Saroja…
We've done everything possible to to find him.
It is all God's will!
It's been eight years now.
Whatever is written in our fate is transpiring!
We should learn to live with it.
Lord Madeshwara…
At the temple-fair, I'll make an offering of a sackful of rice.
Fulfill my heartfelt wish, 'Father'.
Please fulfill it.
You call this living?
This life?
Thoo!
Brother…
What's wrong with you?
It's nothing, forget it!
Subbanna…
Subbanna.
What do you want?
Give me one more.
What's your problem?
You haven't cleared your past dues yet.
How am I to offer you any drink?
- So, you wont give me? - No, I wont!
I won't… Go away!
You won't?
I said no… So just leave.
So, you don't trust me?
Nope, I don't. Just leave.
It's become his routine!
I don't care if y'all pay back!
Buddy!
- Give him the money! - Brother…
What money Brother?
You have Five Rupees. Pay him!
I need it for my expenses. don't bother me.
Buddy!
Just give him!
Why are you getting angry?
- I'll pay you.
Give him brother. He won't stop!
This is his routine Rayappa!
Give it to him. What am I to do?
I'm not running away with your money.
Alright take it.
Slowly brother.
Mother…
Mother!
Why are you sitting silently?
What else?
You haven't eaten,
Therefore, he hasn't eaten either.
When you both haven't eaten; What am I to do?
Mother… if you sit down like this. I'll burst into tears.
Mother…
Then…
If you're starving, What am I to feel?
You've left in the morning, only to return now.
I haven't even gone to work today.
Forget it mother… I'll eat the ragi-ball.
My poor darling!
My kiddo!
Come…
My precious!
Precious little kids…
Shouldn't be born to people like us.
To my son…
I couldn't provide even a fistful of rice.
Did he ask for gold?
Or did he ask for Silver;
Or for pearls?
A stomachful of food,
And clothes to wear.
If I cannot provide even for these?
Why should I even be addressed as "Father"?
Whatever it is… come let's go home.
Or else… sister Sivi will scold me.
Whatever it may cost; my son.
I shall get rice for you.
You eat the ragi-ball for now.
Buddy! I have two eyes.
One is you…
The other is…
My Sivi!
Buddy eat…
First you feed him properly.
Good Lord. Here!
That's his mouth.
Lord!
Maadeshwara
Please bless us with your grace.
At this temple-fair…
I'll get my husband to, seek alms and make you an offering.
Please fulfill my son's wishes, my Lord!
Maadeshwara!

It's not 'Ekkada Hoovu' you idiot;
It's 'Bettada Hoovu'!
'Bettada Hoovu'?
-Yes! -Which talkies?
Krishna Tent brother.
Oh Krishna is it?
Yes!
Four shows.

Four shows per day!
-Okay buddy! -The ticket price?

It's a great movie. Come see for yourself!
Listen everybody.

Do not forget.
If you forget; do not regret.
[Distant indistinct murmurs]
Watch it once
Y'all watch again.
Then y'all want to watch it over again…
Hey Basavaraju!
Basavaraju.
Keep going buddy.
Why did you stop buddy?
What is it Nandini?
You are evading always me!
You don't mingle with any one.
You go alone to your lunch too.
Anyways…
What's in your lunchbox?
It's nothing…
-Show me. -Nothing… forget it.
Why do you always go away from me?
By the way…
Why did you call me?
I want your Kannada notes.
I'll return it tomorrow.
My Kannada notes?
Yes!
You want?
Why? Won't you give me?
I have a class at second period.
-I'll give after that. -Okay!
If you asked me I would've given.
Oh, come on.
Is it only you? or…
Have the other villages applied for it too?
All of them have applied. Hence, I too have.
Since they'll visit us today, I want y'all to be around.
-God knows how they'll handle it. -They've arrived.
Come… come.
Doddaiah come…
Coming brother…
Come here Rangappa…
Is it them?
You are Siddappa is it?
-Namaskara , Sir. -Namaskara.
Get the file.
Bring the file buddy.
Savakayya… Who are they?
How would I know? I've been here with you.
Those guys must be the Police.
Seems like they are here to looking for somebody.
If they're cops; they should be in Khakee uniform right?
I've watched 'Sahasa Simha' movie in the tent.
These guys must be the bigger cops.
That's why they're in plainclothes.
About 500 to 1000 people , Sir. Kencha, you keep quiet.
Sir, he is our chief.
You speak up chief.
These youngsters just speak whimsically , Sir.
There are almost 1,500 people!
Put-up this file.
You should speak correctly.
Don't confuse us!
We are accountable to the government.
He is the village-head , Sir.
He's truthful.
-Check the reports. -There are 1500 people.
Maadeva…
Who are they going to arrest?
I am confused!
-Give them tender coconuts -I'll do it.
That's not necessary.
We're full.
They're all leaving!
Come on let's play.
If not tender coconuts, I'll arrange for sugared tea , Sir.
Let's go to my home.
Mother…
What is it?
Mother!
What's it child?
What are you doing?
What do you mean?
Do you have marbles for eyes?
Don't you see I'm washing clothes?
Oh…
You wash this many clothes daily?
Who else is going to wash them for me?
Washing all these clothes, alone, everyday…
Isn't it hard for you?
Oh my…
What's up son?
This unexpected showering of love today?
Come, help me wash the clothes.
Come, wash a few clothes.
I was just inquiring mother!
My son!
You are never so pleasing…
Blurt out the truth son.
The thing is mother…
You wash so many clothes alone,
Don't you long for a partner?
I'll thrash you with my slipper. You scoundrel!
Don't you want a daughter-in-law?
What do you mean?
With a daughter-in-law, your work'll reduce right?
Son, speak clearly will you? What is your point?
What I mean is…
If my elder brother doesn't marry,
Do I remain a bachelor too?
Go look for a bride for me.
If I have a wife; your work'll be reduced right?
Such an obedient son you are!
Tell me child…
If I get you married ahead of your elder brother,
What will the villagers say?
Won't they belittle me?
Why bother about the villagers?
Are they going to make your life easy?
People always speak nonsense.
So?
Should we heed to their crap?
Look son;
You may say whatever you want…
But, I don't buy it. So, cut the crap!
Go do something worthwhile.
I'm not getting you married before him anyway.
How long am I supposed to wait then?
My friends are roaming around with their kids!
If my brother's a bachelor;
Should I remain one too?
What a pity!
I'll join some Mutt;
And will become a monk!
Son…
Go do that at-least!
It's all futile!
No matter what;
If I find him in the fields…
I'll trample upon him like cow-dung!
What happened?
I don't know buddy!
Mind your own business buddy!
What happened mate?
I warned you not to get this cycle!
Shut it buddy!
Still you get the same one.
Basavaraju is still here.
See how, I'll get the notes from him.
That's why I told you not to get your Dad's cycle!
Basavaraju!
-Nandini? -I had asked for your notes.
Nandini…
I still have two chapters to complete.
I'll give after I've finished it.
It's alright… give it to me.
I've completed.
Shall I give Nandini?
Are you Basavaraju?
She only wants… Basavaraju's notes!
She wants only your notes. Give her!
I just need the first two chapters.
His handwriting is beautiful.
I won't have any trouble reading it.
Basavaraju… you give me.
Nandini, that…
The wrapper is all torn and…
-It's Okay, give me! -Nandini
Alright; I'll take your leave now.
Basavaraju…
The talisman in your neck…
Is not for biting!
Bye…
You're quite crafty buddy!
A sly-one!
Hop-on now.
It's not like that, idiot!
If such was the case…
I would've gotten a talisman for myself!
Alright, move it!
Shiva, Madappa… bless us my Lord!
Take the cymbals also.
Mother, when we go to the Fair…
Both you and Dad should buy me something.
Surely we'll buy you.
But you shouldn't behave unruly in the fair.
Don't wander off.
Son…
Do not be mischievous, you can't be callous there.
It's a Temple.
Sivi, have you packed the offering properly?
Yeah…
I'd borrowed two fistfuls of rice from Bassakka.
For the Lord's offering.
I've prepared that rice.
Mother… You prepared rice?
Yes my son.
You didn't inform me?
Then give me rice now?
No way!
What are you even saying?. No way!
What are you even saying?.
Come here, look.
This is our Lord's sacred offering.
A sacred offering!
After the Pooja at the Temple; you can have it.
I want it right now! Right away!
Don't throw your tantrums now.
Son, behave yourself.
Don't misbehave.
Maadeva.
Mom…
I've gotten the flowers.
I've finished the Pooja.
The sun is almost overhead;
The mother & daughter are still dressing-up?
Why are you acting up?
It's not like tucking your 'panche' upon your waist.
Wearing a saree is laborious.
The pleats have to be adjusted…
The folds, the drapery…
Are all to be set right.
When you already knew we're leaving,
You should've prepared in advance right?
Isn't it?
Why are you acting like this today?
It's unacceptable. Why are you acting like this today?
It's unacceptable.
However…
The gold waist-band that we've bought recently…
Let her wear it.
Wear it dear.
Dad I don't want to wear any gold-waistband!
You mustn't speak like that…
Wear that ornament.
You're an eligible spinster. y'all look pretty.
Okay? Let her wear it.
Alright.
See? Your father is behaving like he's already mounted the horse.
Come; let's hurry up.
I'd told him.
You know what happened?
-Guys… -Sire…
What are y'all doing?
Y'all have no urgency to go to the Temple-fair?
Open the car-boot.
Take the rice sack first.
Put them all in.
Careful…
Watch your step.
Do it slowly.
Close the dickey without breaking the banana leaves
Are these guys ready?
Nandu…
Why haven't you worn your waist-band?
Didn't you give it to her?
Dad…
Okay… Let's go, we're late.
Shankra…
Bring the vehicle.
Start the car.
Nandu, You know how I'd dress up when I was your age?
-You should be… -I'll sit there.
Come on dear.
Get in.
Maadeshwara!
Pull your 'Langa' inside.
Dibbajja…
I've kept the food in the shed. Eat it.
Be careful.
Go on buddy.

You're rushing with the kid. Can't you slow down a bit?
What is it?
Can't you keep up the pace?
We'll have trouble if it gets crowded.
Sir… Come Sir!
No; thank you brother.
Come , Sir..
Come come Sir…
Mother…
They're addressing Dad as Sir here.
Because your dad is a 'Tehsildar' [Revenue Officer].
You scoundrel…
Calling me 'Tehsildar'?
My son…
Is your grandpa a 'Amaldar'[Tax Collector]?
Why're you bringing my father into it?
For addressing you as Sir; shouldn't you buy something at least?
What'll I buy?
They're buttering us so that we buy something.
After buying, they'll care a hoot!
We won't find a place. Let's go.
Let's go now! Come.
What do you want Sir?
Nothing buddy!
[Vendors aselling in the fair.]
Father… What's that?
Isn't that the sacred-ash we apply on our foreheads?
Then, buy me that!
I'll buy you later.
When will you buy me that?
Sometime later.
Dad what's that?
Which one?
That thing!
Buddy!
Those are sweets?
Then, buy them for me.
Buy them?
Yeah!
Those are bitter!
Those are medicines given to patients.
You don't need that. Let's go!
Such a twisted man he is!
You won't lose much if you buy him that!
Wifey!
Get going; we're getting late!
Move it buddy!

-Sivi… -Hmm?
-Where's Maadeva? What?
He came along with you.
He went behind you holding the cymbals!
[♪] Honey from the Mountains of Jenumale is ready for your bath [♪]
-My child… -Where are you?
Did you see there?
Where did you go away?
Look around for him!
He can't be too far away!
He was with us all along.
Where are you my son?
Mother… my child!
Child… My child!
Where did you leave him?
My son is this tall sister…
He was here all along.
Mother… Oh Mother…
My child!
Hey!
Where has he gone!?
-Where did he go? -Maadeva!
-Dear Maadeva… Maadeva!
Okay, get down.
-Dibbajja… -, Sir.
Have you eaten?
Yes , Sir.
Nandu…
Light a lamp inside.
Mother, i am too sleepy.
At the Fair…
I've roamed around so much!
My feet are aching badly.
Who is this little kid!?
Sir!
There's a kid sleeping in the car's dickey!
-What kid? -A kid?
See who it is.
Hey…
Hey boy!
Child!
Wake up.
-Bring him here. -Who are you kid?
Shankara, didn't you notice the boy before shutting it the dickey?
Who is this boy?
-How'd he get into the dickey? -No idea.
Somehow he was sleeping in the dickey.
Who are you kid?
How did you get here?
Speak up boy.
How did you get inside the dickey?
What are your parents' names?
What's you name dear?
What's your name?
Don't be nervous child?
Hmm, he is rattled.
Dad; he is just scared.
Of course he'll be scared!
He was trapped in the dickey all along.
Where are you from kid?
How did you get into the car?
What's your name?
What do we do now?
-Who's he mom? Where's he from? -I'm just as clueless.
Poor kid.
What are we to do?
Dibbajja…
Sir…
Do one thing.
Tell me , Sir.
The kid is still panicking.
Let's not interrogate him.
Okay , Sir.
Listen kid.
Don't panic.
Sleep beside grandpa tonight.
Dibbajja
Keep him beside you for tonight.
-We'll figure the rest tomorrow. -Okay, Sir
Go along kid.
Don't be scared kid.
Come kid. Let's go sleep.
Shankara…
Sir?
-Keep those things inside. -Okay , Sir.
Check the dickey before closing it!
Alright , Sir.
Is this how you work?
Hail…
Madappa… Hail.
Nandu…
Get some coffee for your father.
I'm getting it.
Madam…
I've got moringa leaves.
-Dad, coffee. -Nandu.
Take the moringa leaves.
Okay Mom.
Give me Dibbajja.
Dibbajja…
Has that kid woken up yet?
Madam… He's still asleep.
All night he was muttering "mother", "mother" in his sleep.
He's still asleep.
Should I wake him?
No… No need Dibbajja.
Also, he's slept late yesterday.
Let him sleep some more.
Mom…
I've got to study. I'm going in.
Along with your studies,
Learn a few household chores also!
DIbbajja.
Tell me , Sir.
What do you think of the boy?
He's still little kid, , Sir.
He's lost his way home.
He seems to be well behaved though.
You do one thing.
Keep him under your watch and teach him some work.
Alright , Sir.
We've no clue whatsoever.
How can we keep an unknown with us?
When someone comes asking, what are we to say?
We'll see when they come.
We'll take care of him until then.
He can do a few chores.
Take care of him.
I'll take your leave then , Madam.
Okay dibbajja.
That poor kid, has gone missing from Mahadeshwara's land.
How do we know where all they've searched for him?
God only knows what sins the parents have committed?
Maybe that's why that kid went missing from the temple-fair.
Hey; get up from there kids!
Go to your houses.
Madappa…
Dear Sivi.
Please control yourself.
You shouldn't breakdown like this.
Calm down.
After losing her only child, how can she calm down sister?
Mom…
I think Maadeva has been abducted by child-abductors?
Maadeva… Maadeva, you'd call…
While you came looking for him several times a day.
Now, who'd you call Maadeva child?
Who would you?
Go away from here.
Do you know if he was abducted?
Don't blabber rumours!
Go away from here.
Maadeva is somewhere around.
Did you have a vision about the abduction?
Go away from here!
Speaking nonsense!
-My child… -Hey…
Y'all scoot from here. What are you rascals waiting for?
That's why we keep telling y'all not to loaf around mindlessly!
Kids have no business here. Go on guys!
Chikkaninga.
You should be consoling sister Sivi.
How do I console her Rayappa?
Rayappa…
I could not buy a single toy for my son!
He kept saying that he was hungry!
I should've given him some rice!
What else did we have sister?
What did we have?
Maadeva!
Why would such a thing happen to you sister?
It's a curse sister!
A bloody curse!
I don't know which bastards are trying black-magic upon us Sister!
Let them prosper.
Let them prosper all they want in this world Sister!
Let them prosper.
Don't know who cast the evil-eye upon us Sister.
They've gobbled up my son!
Tell me…
Is this even fair?
Those bastards have gobbled-up my son!
Friends…
Whereever my kid is at…
Whatever it may cost you.
Please bring our son back to us!
Chikkaninga.
I am going to 'Nagara';
I'll search for him all around. don't worry.
Come, come. Let's all search for him.
It's better to hurry up.
Come, come quickly.
Chikkaninga, if you can provide for food and travel expenses,
We'll all leave.
We don't want to bother you with money,
Unfortunately… we are all broke!
Please do something.
Go look for my son.
My poor child…
Please go look for him brothers.
My pockets are empty!
I'll part with my gold earrings.
Take. I'll sell my gold earrings.
-Take them and go. -Sivi.
Will you sell your gold?
-Brothers, do something. -Chikkaninga.
Why sell your woman's ornaments?
I'll lend you the money.
Pay timely interest every month.
How much money do you want?
Tell me.
-Siddappa, I'll repay you. -That's very kind of you brother.
-It's alright sister. -Pay them whatever it takes!
-Take it. -Sir's offering. take it.
Distribute it among yourselves!
-Go look for him all over.
Go on buddy.
You also go.
Come on guys. We need more men.
-Let's go search for our Maadeva. -Go on.
What's the matter Dibbajja?
What happened?
He's been crying continuously since he has woken up , Sir.
What happened kid?
Calm down.
What do you want?
I want my mother and father!
Okay…
What are their names?
Chikkaninga & Sivi.
Hmm, Okay.
Your village?
There is a pond…
If you go ahead a little. There's a school.
If you cross these both, y'all find a mountain.
It is there.
How do we trace his village?
Your dialect, seems like you are from Kollegala region.
Right Dibbajja?
Yes , Sir.
We'll see.
I'll try to find your parents and send you back to them.
Until then… you stay here with us.
Meanwhile stay with Dibbajja & do some small-chores.
Yeah. He could frequent the grocery stores.
Let him do some household-work too.
Yeah, she's right. You do that Okay?
Are you hungry?
Alright.
Give him some food.
Dibbajja…
Help him wash himself up.
-Okay , Madam. -Go.
Come…
Poor kid.
-He's completely rattled up. -Hmm.
God only knows how he got into the dickey!
[♪] He's eating rice! [♪]
Here comes Gangadhara!
They're here!
I think Maadeva's been abducted by child-abductors.
Buddy Savakayya; what if they abduct us too?
I know how to fight…
If the they dare touch me, I'll floor them with a punch.
Buddy Gavisidda, teach me also please.
Sure! First, they'll grab you like this…
Hey… Hey!
Damn… It hurts!
-Let go of me! -Hey! Why you!?
What's happening? Why are you?
Oh God!
That's our teacher!
Who taught you this? Huh?
I learned it by watching Rajkumar's film Sir!
Rajkumar's films?
Why were you beating him?
Sir, we asked him how to escape from the child-abductors.
He was teaching us.
Child-abductors?
Sir, Maadeva has be been abducted by child-abductors.
He was abducted? When? Where?
At the Maadeshwara Temple Fair.
Hey! Get inside!
Simply panicking about child-abductors!
Get-in I say!
Who told you huh?
Everybody is talking about it Sir!
Apart from his cymbals they found nothing at the temple, Sir
Sir, they say, there's a leopard in those hills.
Sir, there were tracks of a leopard dragging-away a person out there.
No.
Maadeva has surely been snatched by child-abductors!
As if y'all exactly know what's transpired.
Get inside! Go!
Behaving like they know it all! Idiots!
Madam…
Come Dibbajja.
Listen…
Dibbajja is here.
I'm coming…
Maadeva…
Dibbajja
Get your plate and come outside.
Let him sit here Dibbajja.
Okay Madam…
You've prepared rice all three-times today.
Is it a festival here?
Why kiddo?
Preparing rice thrice a day amounts to being a festival is it?
Whenever they prepare rice at my house; it is a festival!
Oh my sweet child!
Eat as much rice as you want!
Should I give you more?
Eat…
Nandu…
Get some more rice for him.
Okay mom.
Mix properly and eat.
Do you like it?
Give.
You haven't given him water.
What if he chokes?
Nandu… get him some water dear.
Rice is being cooked! Rice is being cooked!
Today rice is cooking at home!
Hey Savakayya!
What's up buddy?
Are they preparing rice at your home today?
Is it some festival?
No buddy!
My dad's gotten meat of the goat wounded by a jackal today.
Hence, my mom's preparing rice for that curry.
I'm going to hog properly!
Rice is being cooked…
Buddy Savakayya…
Can I ask you something?
Yeah. Go on.
When the rice is ready; will you invite me too?
That's not possible. My mother will scold me!
Why would she buddy?
When they make rice at my home; I won't invite you!
Calm down buddy.
If I take someone home to eat; Will my mother spare me?
If I come to your home when y'all are eating; will she not Invite?
Yeah, she would!
Buddy Maadeva, do as I tell you.
When I'm eating, you come home. My mother will feed you too.
Alright buddy, let's do that.
When they make rice at your house; you should call me!
Sure buddy! I will.
Mother…
What is it?
Give me a piece.
-You want to taste? -Yes
-It's piping hot Son. -Okay
-Eat carefully. -Okay.
Washed your hands?
Yes I have.
After eating…
Sit down to study.
Okay…
Shiva my Lord!
Oh my Shiva.
Savakayya…
What's up Maadeva? Come inside.
I've come to learn Maths from Savakayya.

Maadeva…
5 + 3 is 8
Write it down properly.
Hey child…
My darling.
When you were little; Kollegal's Saint had predicted that
You'll be a great man when you grow up.
Teach him Maths properly my dear!
Oh my!
Have you written it?
Yeah.
I've written it.
6 x 3 is 81
Write it down.
6 x 3 is not 81 buddy!
6 x 3 is 18
Maadeva, why are you making mistakes?
6 x 3 is not 81 buddy.
6 x 3 is 18!
Write it correctly!
Yeah, yeah. I've noted it.
And then…
6…
What is 6 x 2?
6 x 2 is…
6 x 2 is not 16
6 X 2 is 12
6 x 2 is 12. Write down correctly!
Why are you making mistakes from that time?

-Learn properly Maadeva. -Okay Aunty.
Buddy; I am hungry!
-Wait. I'll tell her. -Tell her that.
Mother… I am hungry!

Is it easy teaching Maths?
Is it?
Teaching Maths is difficult. Wait, I am coming son.
Shiva…

Hurry up Mother!
Coming my son!

Maadeva…
Did you learn your Maths?
Yeah I did aunty.

Your mother had sent some moringa-lentil soup.
This glass is from your home.
Take it home. -You eat some too.

Take it home carefully.
It's hot even for me to hold…
Come, I'll help you.
The curry is delicious!
Buddy…

Hey…
What are you doing?
With food on the plate…
One shouldn't delay eating.
Eat…
Finish it quickly.
Let the kid eat peacefully.
Maadeva.
Hey Maadeva.
Do you want more rice?
All that rice is for you.
Eat slowly. don't feel hesitant kiddo.
Maybe, it's the miracle of Lord Maadappa.
You arrived like our son.
Son…
Should I add some clarified-butter?

Sivi, you haven't eaten anything for the past three days…
I'll get you something; please eat.
You cannot ignore your health like this.
If you become weak what's going to happen?
Chikkaninga; our Maadeva is nowhere to be found!
We searched for him all over.
There seems no point anymore.
What are you even saying?
Good Lord.
What are we to do? Calm down.
-Lord… -He'll come. don't worry Sivi.
Where has he disappeared?
Calm down…
Without you, I am completely diminished!
Maadeva
-Hold on to your nerves. Maadeva!
Oh my!
Where are you my son?
Where do I look for you?
How can I look at the streets you used to roam around in.?
How can I see them?
Maadeva won't leave me stranded like this.
My son Maadeva!
Please come back to me.
Come back!
Don't test me like this. Please come back!
Lord Maadeshwara!
He'll come back Sivi. Calm down, he'll return.
Madappa, send my son back to me.
-Lord'll send him. -My son!
Sivi…
Calm down.
There's no point crying…
Either, we go looking for him…
Or, he has to return to us!
Have faith in the Lord.
None of y'all have searched for him properly!
I will go on my own…
I'll find him and bring him back home!
Shut up and lie down, I say!
You can't even stand. Will you search for him?
Don't be ridiculous!
Our son's gone missing; stop adding to my woes!
We'll look for him all across until our last breaths!
The Lord's Almighty. Our son will return.
It was because of you.
It's all your fault!
Yeah…
Oh yes!
If you had bought him toys;
Would my son leave?
When my son pleaded for toys;
He smacked my son hard on his bum!
-How dare you beat my son? -Let go of me!
Stop!
What are you doing?
Let go of me Rayappa!
-Rayappa -Behave yourself!
If you look at it…
You were the one to send him with the brass-cymbals.
Behave yourself Chikkaninga.
My silence doesn't mean…
Could you not keep an eye on him?
Leave me Rayappa?
Calm down brother!
What are you even complaining?
Is he my son alone?
Isn't he your son too?
Okay calm down!
Why are you acting like this?
Let go!
It's Okay, calm down.
-Leave my hand. -Stop it Chikkaninga!
What's wrong?
Her son's loss is bound to make her angry.
Why do you behave so?
Smother her off too!
-Come here? -Let go!
You're being rude with women.
Moreover she's been ill.
Shouldn't she talk about her son?
Don't you know that much?
She's dependent upon you.
She hasn't eaten in 3 days!
You control yourself Sivi.
All will be fine soon Sivi.
Sivi…
Hold on, we'll figure it out.
Now he calmed down. Why'd he fight earlier?
Relax. I share the same pain as you.
Dibbajja…
You fold it like this.
You put it like this.
Okay?
Alright kiddo.
You keep at it.
Dibbajja.
Why haven't gone to graze the cows today?
Why are you still here?
Since the kid is sleeping here every night,
He woke up a bit late.
After chucking it in the dumpster;
I'll take the cattle.
Dibbajja, you leave.
Let Maadeva stay here.
-Okay? -Alright , Madam.
Maadeva…
Come here.
What is it sister?
You're wearing the same clothes since you've arrived.
Go take a bath.
I'll give you some other clothes.
Okay?
Buddy Savakayya.
No matter what people say about Maadeva.
It surely is the child-abductors.
Shivalankari, come join us.
What are you both up to?
Just look at my cool sling-shot.
Savakayya, why didn't you wait for me at my house?
Buddy, I came to your house.
You mom was standing at the door with her eyes wide open.
I thought she'll shout at me. So I ran away.
Supposedly, the abductors are now in our village.
My mom was informed by Meglatti Madakka.
We've got to be careful henceforth.
The day I got spooked after seeing the ghost,
My mom got me a talisman.
Now she's gotten me another talisman from that guy.
If the abductors touch me, they'll just burn to ashes.
I have 'Chinni-Dand' with me.
If they try to approach me, I'll crack their skull with it.
I have a sling-shot.
When they come, I'll just sling a stone from afar.
And the abductors will simply run for their lives!
Mother…
See who is here!
In blue light…
He's wandering like a flying bird.
On the wet-floor there's a red mud line.
He's standing right there!
Sporting a shirt and shorts…
He's playing with the kids.
Dear Sir…
Look into it properly and tell us where he is.
He has…
Gone towards the west.
The bird in the nest is looking at the village.
Please tell us quickly Sir…
Tell me, if my son will return to me.
Where do we look for him?
He will…
Just clarify if he'll be back?
Don't worry. He'll surely come back.
Only, God should be willing.
That was a big kingdom.
It was ruled by a King.
That King, had a Queen.
They both had a young prince.
That prince was a bit mischievous like y'all.
One day, while he was playing in the garden of his palace,
A 'sunny-horse' landed there.
Grandpa, what is a 'sunny-horse'?
Majeed, don't you know that much?
'sunny-horse' is one that appears when the sun is shining.
No, no!
A 'sunny-horse' is a magical being.
It is completely white.
My father has a white horse for his Tonga.
Maybe that's also a 'sunny-horse'
It's not just white…
It has two wings.
And it always keeps flying in the open skies.
One day…
Such a 'sunny-horse';
Landed beside our little prince.
Overwhelmed by desire, the prince mounts on it.
It starts flying high
And then lands in a forest.
It shrugs its body once,
And the little prince falls on to the ground.
And the 'sunny-horse' disappears!
At that moment of pain the prince is reminded of his mother!
[♪] Mother… [♪]
[♪] how could I ever forget… [♪]

-but, I'm not eating ragi-ball. -don't say such things!
Hey! You wretched-kid!
Where are we to get the rice from?
Father…
Mother …
What happened Maadeva? Why are you crying?
Who has to be wherever at whichever instance of time…
It's the Lord Almighty who decides for all of us!
Do not cry Maadeva…
Don't cry.
Nanjunda…
Sister?
Everybody fine in the village?
Yeah, they're fine!
Your neighbour, Madesha passed-away?
How come?
I'm not really sure about it.
-Nobody ever speaks about it.
It's so strange…
Man's life is so uncertain.
-Uncle when did you arrive? -There he comes!
It's been a while nephew.
He's always grumpy.
I wonder what awaits me!
What are you blabbering?
My brother's here to talk to you.
It's an important concern that's why I am here.
I heard you were talking about reducing your mother's burdens.
Yes I did, Uncle.
Buddy…
What's your hurry to get married?
If we fix your marriage prior to your elder brother's;
-What will people say? -Scold him!
What will they say?
Uncle…
Why bother about people?
They comment about everything.
They ridicule me too.
What'd they ridicule you about?
That, I'm still a bachelor, even at this age!
Do you even know the pain of such taunts?.
Don't they realise?
Seeking a bride for you prior to your elder brother…
Will people accept the younger brother's matrimony?
Okay; forget it then!
Let it be so. Y'all don't be bothered.
Son; shut up and listen to your Uncle's reasoning.
Mother, will you zip it?
Sister…
He says don't bother looking for a bride.
Seems like he has already found someone.
Seems like it!
What else am I to say?
I'd be doomed if I depended on her.
I'll knock out your teeth out. You loafer!
You dare not speak prior to your brother's marriage.
-Wait for however long it takes
Uncle…
Since you speak so much…
Which bus did you arrive in?
Why do you need it now?
Tell me uncle.
Why talk about the bus?
Mother, don't interfere!
Uncle, which bus did you board?
Why talk about the bus now?
Tell me Uncle, which bus did you take?
That… that…
I came in 'Anjaneya' bus!
When did it arrive?
It arrives at 11 AM.
Which bus comes after that?
It is followed by the 'SRT' bus.
When did it arrive?
It arrives at 12 Noon.
Uncle…
When Anjaneya bus is en-route….
And breaks down mid-way.
What would the tailing 'SRT' bus do then?
What else can the 'SRT' bus do?
It overtakes and goes ahead!
So shall I!
See how difficult he is!
Both the brothers are twisted in many ways!
What am I to do in-between these two?
Don't you worry sister.
I'm here now anyway.
I'll take him to task!
I'm not sure what y'all do.
Here; my wife has made some sweets for you.
Since you like them.
Kiddo.
Your wife sent me sweets?
She's always been fond of me.
I've treated her like a daughter.
That's only how it appears. Come.
Brother…
Come, I'll slaughter a chicken for your lunch.
Hey Rayappa…
- What is it Mother? - Son!
Go to the grocery store.
No, I won't!
[♪] The little bird that left the nest has flown to the sky. [♪]
[♪] While foraging for food It lost itself completely. [♪]
[♪] It teaches naughtiness and mischief to its buddies. [♪]
[♪] The passing of their time [♪]
[♪] their dances to his tunes [♪]
[♪] his affection… his friendship…. [♪]
[♪] you're doomed, if not careful! [♪]
What are y'all doing?
Maadeva is cooking 'Hit-meen' for us.
Oh that's great! Carry on.
[♪] Forays ahead Maadeva. [♪]
[♪] Mounted on a horse named 'Desire"[♪]
[♪] forays ahead Maadeva. [♪]
[♪] With large wings, strapped-on to his tiny back. [♪]
[♪] Focused upon a single objective… [♪]
[♪] Ragi-ball he does not favour… [♪]
[♪] nor has he, any rice to savour! [♪]
[♪] He's waiting for the festival to eat rice. [♪]
Chikkaninga…
Chikkaninga!
Namaskara Sir…
I'm really sorry to hear that Maadeva's gone missing.
He was an amazing kid.
He'd adhere to my instructions.
Lord Madappa is all knowing!
He went missing from Madappa's Temple Fair!
We searched everywhere for no avail.
We've searched all over Sir?
No trace of him.
I've spoken to Hanur's head-constable.
They're also on the lookout.
We performed the 'kavaDe' ritual.
We did the 'anjuna' ritual.
We did the 'piLLari' ritual too , Sir.
Even the Police have no clue yet Sir!
Please stay composed.
Have faith.
Your boy will return.
What's the matter Cheluvanna?
What has caused this gathering in front of my house?
What is it?
Dear Sir…
Your Maadeva;
Let your cattle into my fields. They've grazed up a big patch.
Can you not teach him some sense?
I've worked hard to grow it.
Will you remain calm if it was yours?
Maadeva. Come here I say!
Come here.
Is it true what brother Cheluva claims?
Is it true?
Why will he confess to his mistake Sir?
Your cattle have grazed one 'gunta' area of paddy!
Lord Shiva!
Since it is his cattle, he will compensate for your loss.
Dibbajja.
Yes Sir?
Give him 50 measures of paddy.
Okay , Sir.
Content now Cheluvanna?
That's the only way out. What else can be done?
-We're from the same village. -Okay.
-Give it to them in our sacks. -Okay , Sir.
-Namaskara , Sir. -Come, come.
You are…
You are our Wajid's wife right? -Yes , Sir.
Where's Wajid?
He's gone to work , Sir.
Your boy Maadeva…
Has fed some 'Hit-Meen' to my son.
A tiny bone is stuck in his throat Sir!
He has severe discomfort in his throat.
'Hit-Meen'?
Yes Sir…
What's 'Hit-Meen'?
What in the world is'Hit-Meen'?
'Hit-Meen' is…
Ragi flour,
Fish,
Water,
Coriander leaves,
Salt…
Add some water and cook.
It becomes 'Hit-Meen'!
What sort of a dish is that?
What are we to do now Sir?
Nothing to worry…
Okay , Sir.
I'll ask Dibbajja to give you a bunch of bananas from our garden.
-Okay , Sir. -Feed him some.
The fish-bone will get ingested.
Okay?
-See you then. -Alright , Sir.
Come my son.
You arrived like a timid kid.
But now,
All the villagers,
Are assembling at our house shaming us!
From today on-wards,
You dare not feed him rice!
All the food is fattening him up!
Let it go. Why scold him like that?
What "Let it go"?
Your adulation is simply spoiling him.
Do as I say!
[♪] Responding to every emotion of mine… [♪]
[♪] completely submerged in the role of motherhood. [♪]
[♪] Despite having your own desires [♪]
[♪] You selflessly dedicated all your energies towards me. [♪]
You are fond of rice right?
Steaming hot rice and Curry.
[♪] Spilling the colours of happiness and adulation… [♪]
[♪] Filling up dreams with a bounty of hope. [♪]
[♪] Swallowing all the hardships and obstacles, [♪]
[♪] While packing off pains and miseries. [♪]
[♪] Mother… How could I ever forget [♪]
[♪] you! [♪]
[♪] Mother… [♪]
[♪] how could I ever forget… [♪]
[♪] you! [♪]
Brother Sidda!
Yes Chikkaninga?
Nothing much, I needed some money.
How am I to lend you money repeatedly Chikkaninga?
Brother Sidda; why do you hesitate to lend money?
Won't you help in their bad times?
They're in need. Please lend them.
The old interest is still due. How can I lend again?
Brother, why are you squabbling over interest?
If he's unable to pay; I'll clear your dues.
Lend him brother!
Brother Sidda, they've lost their only son. They're in pain.
It's not fair to deny them.
Lend them brother.
Don't talk business in such times. Lend them the money.
What are you thinking? Just lend them the money!
Since the women are insisting, I'll lend this one time.
I'll get the money.
Brother Chikkaninga!
Siddiq saw your son grazing cows your son in Bannur.
-Siddiq said, it felt like him. -What? What are saying?
He thinks he saw Maadeva grazing cows.
Are you being serious?
Yes Sister; it is true!
Siddiq asked the Bus-driver to stop;
But the driver didn't stop the bus!
Lord Maadeshwara.
-Siddiq says, it's definitely him! -Good Lord!
I mean it!
And then…
If we go there, maybe we'll find him.
What are you waiting for? Let's go immediately!
How will we go there now? The last-bus has already left!
We'll leave tomorrow morning! I'll accompany you both.
Let's go prepare then!
Take the money first! Have you lost it?
Kempakka…
Didn't I tell you?
With 'anjuna' ritual they'll definitely track the boy?
See how truly perfect my words have been!
"The missing-kid shall definitely return!"
My 'piLLari' ritual had already predicted it.
Other rituals may falter; 'piLLari' ritual never fails!
Sister; please zip it!
I'd taken her to perform 'kavaDe' ritual.
They predicted a great outcome too!
Wait a minute!
How do we know for sure if Siddiq actually saw Maadeva?
So calm down!
Let's hope that, it is him.
Listen Chikkaninga…
-This is the last time!\-Okay Brother
-Pay the interest on time. -I will.
-Got it? -Surely Brother.
Okay, let's go.
Let's go discuss it.
Go on.
Maadeva was seen in Bannur!
That's great news. Lord be his saviour!
Brother, our Maadeva was seen in Bannur!
Indeed Brother!
Rayappa!
Chikkanina, go to that place. You will surely find Maadeva.
Aren't you coming? -No, I cannot.
Yesterday at my brother's matchmaking ceremony,
The condiments I feasted on have given me the loosies.
I won't be able to accompany you.
We were really expecting you would accompany us.
I would definitely go if I were any better.
I'll go get some potion from the local medic.
-Buddy! -You both have a safe journey.
Sivi!
Have a safe journey.
I'm going to the fields for work.
If not, I'd join you. Be careful.
Okay.
Brother Rayappa…
Yes Sister?
You promised you'd go search for Maadeva today.
I already mentioned that I have the loosies?
You are always reckless.
Stuffing yourself gave you loosies.
Was it to avoid going with them?
Who'd get the loosies intentionally?
What are you saying?
If I get it in the bus; will you wash me up?
I'll whack you with a slipper!
-Why will I wash you up? -Zip it then!
Come here, I'll wash you up!
-Come try me. -I'll do it myself!
Come, I'll do it!
Rayappa, heading to the fields again to defacate?
Rayappa has the loosies! Go spread it to the entire the village.
Kempakka…
Where did you find so much firewood?
Got to heat water to bathe the kids today.
Weddings are occasions for meeting with friends & relatives.
Spinsters should actively attend such ceremonies.
Only by being a part of such activities,
Does a girl find a good match!
Why Mom?
Have I ever asked you to get me married?
I have an exam next month?
The other day;
Gargeshwari's, Parmeshwarappa and his wife
Had come to see Nandu right?
Their son's attending the marriage today.
Maybe you could have had a conversation with him.
You too come with us.
Dad, I have an exam.
I got to study. I can't go with you!
Shankra…
Sir?
Get the car.
Okay , Sir.
We'll leave then.
Be careful at home Nandu.
Okay Mom.
Who knows at what time it'll arrive.
Where are you guys heading to?
We're going to Bannur.
Is it?
Get up, the 'Tempo' is here!
-Let's go it is here. -Okay brother.

Shiva… My Lord!
Get in soon.
Get in sister.
Right…
Kollegal, Narasipura, Bannur, Bannur… Bannur!
Maadeva.
Sister, why didn't you go to the marriage?
You could've had a delicious meal!
If run behind tasty food, who's going to write my exam?
Besides, I am not too fond of food like you.
Okay, I'll go graze the cows.
Wait. You're not going anywhere today.
You have to stay here and do whatever I say.
Okay, what do I have to do?
You know what?
Near the temple, there is a college-going Basavaraju.
Do you know him?
Where to brother?
Two…
To Bannur.
-Two Bannur? -Two
Okay.
Here's the change.
Brother, you've taken 5 Rupees?
It's hiked. 2 Rupees 50 Paise each!
Keep it. I can't spare change. -Yours?
Give another Rupee at least!
It's not possible.
What do we do?
Yours?
Done?
Hey… brother!
You've been sleeping all along.
Have you paid?
Paid brother.
Yours , Sir.
I've paid too.
Step on it Nagaraju!
He's way ahead.
Don't fall asleep.
Keep an eye out!
Maybe you will see him somewhere.
Since I haven't slept much…
My eyelids are heavy.
Brother! Are you that college-going Basavaraju?
Yes. Who are you?
I’m Maadeva…
Sister has asked You to come home.
Which sister?
Sister Nandini
Is Nandini calling me?
- Alright! Wait I'll come. - Hmm
Brother, Do you know our house?
I know buddy. Get going.
Sister…
Basavaraju brother is here.
Basavaraju!
Nandini…
You had some doubts with the English Grammar?
Should I clear those?
Yes. Come in.
Even if you are inviting in… How can I enter?
It's alright, come in!
It's just the two of us.
Parents are at a wedding.
Come in.
Come inside!
If they find that I entered your house…
I'll simply be done for!
Nothing will happen. Don’t worry.
It is not like that…
Maadeva…
Go give the cattle some water.
I've already given them water.
Okay, o feed them grass.
I've already done that.
Dibbajja was looking for you!
He has already gone to de-weed the fields.
Majeed had come searching for you!
He's gone for his Namaz.
Take this.
Wow! 20 Paisas.
Go to the stores and buy anything you want.
Sit down.
You sit down first.
Sit now.
Will you have some coffee?No; I don't drink coffee.
Right. Would you have lunch?
Are you Okay?
How many pillars does this house have? - Huh?
Pillars.
What are you even asking?
I'm thirsty. Could you give me some water?
I'll get it.
One, two, three, four…
Sixteen.
Huh?
Pillars…
There are more both in front and the back yards.
Pillars…
Take.
Are those Ragi-sacks?
No, those are rice-sacks.
Oh, rice-sacks?
Okay, come along.
Hey, hey its spilling…
Basavaraju, take this sack home.
What?
To my house?
You had told me earlier that…
At times, you don't have even food to eat.
So, take it home.
Fine.
Leave from the backdoor.
The backdoor?
If I had invited you through the front-door,
I'd have, sent you away from there.
Alright.
Be careful!
-Hey, be careful. -Alright.
Alright, Nandini. I'll leave now.
Shankara, park the car in the shade.
Nandu… Where are you, dear?
I am right here, Mother.
Take, keep this basket inside.
Why the Rice is spilled here?
What’s this, dear, there's rice spilled all over here?
That… that…
Some beggars had come by earlier, Father.
The rice got spilled when I gave them some.
Rice is sacred.
It shouldn't be spilled like this.
Please sweep it up later.
Sure Father.
When the officers arrive, speak in my favour.
They are here brother. Come, come.
My God! It's so sunny in this village.
Namaskara.
Namaskara Sir…
So; is this the place?
Yes Sir, I'll keep the rice there.
Here, I'll do the accounting.
Get lost y'all. What business do kids have here?
Leave… Run.
-Dodanna; open the doors. -Come have a look , Sir.
-Come here. -Whose place is this?
The shop is mine , Sir.
See what's happening there.
Wait here.
I'll go see what the officers are doing.
Okay go.
Does it seem Okay?
Get all the signatures.
Give me , Sir. I'll sign.
Buddy!
-Hey? Wait buddy, I'll come.
Siddanna… Take.
-Sir? -Take this.
-Wishing you the best. -Okay , Sir.
Namaskara , Sir.
Buddy, what were they doing?
I have no idea. They were handing out a paper.
What was in it?
What would I know? I was with you right here.
Siddanna must've passed in some exam.
When people pass; they're handed-over a document.
You think Siddanna is studying his age?
Who knows, maybe he has failed.
I'm going to study well.
Or else I'll have to study even after I grow up.
People say that I'm the right person.
Hence I'm asking you.
That's why we are supporting him.
Come, let's bid them off.
-Please come. -Let's go.
Sir, please help-out our Siddanna.
He'll surely take care of your needs.
Sir, the other day, you didn't accept anything.
You'll have to accept today , Sir.
Dear mother!
Maadeva!
My child!! That's my child!
Sir, please Stop the tempo.
-What? -My child. I swear, that is him.
That's my son. I swear that's my son.
-Please stop. Why are you blocking my way?
No stopping mid-way.
-Brother, get aside! -Hold on. Stop. Stop.
-There's my child! -Sivi, slowly.
-Sivi - Get down quickly, make space.
Where had you been lost son?
Lord Madeshwara!
Thanks for having mercy on us Lord!
Madehswara!
They won't be back. Right!
-Son. -Maadeva!
It is me; your mother.
Come.
My kiddo!
Couldn't you figure-out the name of our village?
Hey… why are you standing still?
Why so?
Come!
No; I am not coming.
Mother dearest! Why won't you come?
Why so?
Because, your teacher will scold you?
Why Son?
Why are you still there? Come here.
He won't scold son. Come.
Why kiddo?
No; I am not coming home!
Because your dad will beat you?
Come here son!
Won't you? Come! I'll let no one touch you.
I am there!
Why are you still standing there?
Won't you come?
Saying no! Look at his attitude.
What is wrong son?
Let's go grab him.
Wait until I grab a hold of you!
My Son… Kiddo!
-Hey Maadeva. -Kiddo… kiddo…
Hey Maadeva!
Why are you running buddy?
Stop there!
Hey Kiddo!
Maadeva… my child!
What's wrong with you kiddo?
Have you lost it after coming to Bannur?
Come out I say!
Who's that? What's happening there?
Who are you?
Why are you calling for my son?
The boy who ran inside your house to hide,
He's our son madam.
Maadeva is your son?
Yes , Madam.
He is , Madam.
My son… please call him here.
My husband will come…
Please walk up to the front side.
Okay , Madam.
Let's go.
Come, come!
Maadeva…
Thank God we found my child!
Why did you hide son?
My child!
Who is it Mother?
They are claiming to be Maadeva's parents.
Ask what they want?
Is it? Let's go talk to them.
Don't be scared. I'm there.
Who is it?
Greetings , Sir.
I'm Chikkaninga.
This is my wife Sivi.
We're from Kannur; which is near Hanur , Sir.
Sir…
Greetings , Sir.
Our Maadeva got lost in Maadeshwara's fair.
He's found shelter in your house , Sir.
Tell me…
If you can't handle your children properly,
Why get them to the temple or the fair?
It's your fortune he landed at our house.
Yes , Sir.
If he'd reached the wrong hands?
What then?
You are sir…
We can't thank you enough.
Can't thank enough.
Sir…
Return our child to us please.
Without him…
She's completely lost her sleep & appetite.
Okay…
Nandu…
Go get Maadeva.
Kiddo…
My child Maadeva!
Why are you still inside there? Come here.
Wait he'll come.
Where's he?
Hey Maadeva.
No, I won't come…
Let me go sister; I won't come.
-Come here son. -Come kiddo.
Why So? Why are you acting like that?
Sister, I won't come.
Come here Son.
Child, look at your mother's condition.
-I won't come… -Look there.
Why you?
-Hey, Mahadeva… -Child!
-What happened? -I am here, don't worry
Isn't he your father?
Speak with them.
Hey…
Child!
Don't torment your mother. Come
How can that be possible?
Mahadeva has taken to our family like a son.
Suddenly, you want him back. Is that even plausible?
He will not go anywhere.
-He will stay here. - Huh?
Why don't you tell them something.
I won't send him anywhere. He'll stay with me.
Madam…
Maadeva is our son , Madam.
I'm the biological mother!
I beg of you!
If he wanted, he would have already gone to you.
If not why would he hide in our house?
Does living at your house, make him your son?
He is just a child. What would he understand?
Sir, you are knowledgeable.
Send our child with us.
Please send him , Sir.
I've cared for Maadeva and have lovingly fed him rice.
Madam, feeding him rice will not make him your child.
Please send him with us. Send him Please , Sir.
Please send him.
Kiddo…
Madam!
-Don't be scared Maadeva. -What on earth is this?
They're taking away my child?
Madam!
-What's this Sir? -Sir…
Someone say something. -Tell her Sir…
-Dear Sir… -Convince her , Sir.
Sir, Sir, kindly say something…
Send him along with us Sir!
Have some.
-Please have it. -Sir…
Sir…
Please Drink. Sir, our child!
Sir… our child!
Look…
What's done is done!
Yes , Sir.
He says; he does not want to go with you.
We'll care for him like our own son!
Stop it Sir!
See, I'll even pay you two thousand rupees a year!
Leave him here.
It'll be good. Everyone will be benefited.
Sivi?
What are you looking at?
What the hell are you looking at?
Is my child some kind of a sheep?
That we'll sell for money?
If you assume so, I will kill you!
Beware!
Sister…
That's not what I meant.
What else then?
What else did you mean?
That's not what you meant?
You want to buy my kid with your money is it?
My oh my!
Only after fulfilling countless vows to the gods
My son was born as a blessing!
You're asking him in exchange for money?
Will The Almighty God spare you?
It's not like…
I'll give-up my life; but, I won't abandon my child!
I'm just saying…
Sir…
We're poor people Sir!
He's our only child.
What are we to do without him?
I'm pleading you.
Please return our child to us!
What are you guys doing?
This is literally wrong!
Get up, get up!
Get up…
Get up please!
Don't do such things.
It's not right!
Sir….
I surely empathise with our Madam's plight,
But also consider the pain of a biological mother.
You know better.
Dibbajja!
He's my son too!
My heart shall not agree to part with him.
Please say something You cant stay silent!
Will you stop it?
Try to understand!
Would you give him up if he was to be your own son!
Dad… Dad!
Please let Maadeva stay with us Dad.
Look…
He was with you for a few days; and you behave so.
She's given birth to him.
Imagine their plight!
Please hand him over.
Maadeva…
Come to me, my love!
Without you my life has no meaning.
Please come.
Go on Maadeva.
Please convince him.
-Please tell my son. -Why kiddo?
Won't you come to us?
If I come to you; Will you prepare rice daily?
My Child…
Is rice more important to you than us?
Come here buddy!
Look… Go to your village along with your parents.
You should study well.
All will be well. Okay?
Go on.
Maadeva…
-Shankara… -Yes Sir?
Drop them to their village in our car.
Okay , Sir.
Take a sackful of rice for them.
Okay , Sir.
Alright , Sir.
Yes Sir?
Maadeva…
Kannur is on the way to the hills right?
Come, I'll drop you guys.
-Dibbajja… -Madam?
Maadeva…
Maadeva, come here.
-Don't forget this sister. -Hmm Okay.
Maadeva…
Farewell son!
May Lord Maadeshwara bless you.
Goodbye Dibbajja.
Sister…
We'll take your leave.
May the Lord bless you too!
You've showered so much love upon my son.
If he's made any blunders, please forgive him.
We'll leave.
Sir… We'll take your leave.
Sister… We'll take your leave sister.
Goodbye , Sir.
Goodbye… We'll leave.

Brother Chikkaninga!
Have some sweets.
What's the matter? You are distributing sweets!
Here, have it I'll tell you.
What's cooking?
My brother's marriage has been fixed in Yellandur.
The engagement's in two days.
The marriage's in two months.
Please make sure you attend it!
That means your marriage path is cleared now?
-You're embarrassing me now! -Kiddo Maadeva!!!
Come Maadeva, have some 'Boondi' [sweets]…
Who eats 'Boondi'? Don't you have sweet-rice?
Hey get going…
Young kids are like that.
My Sister-in-law's younger sister is extremely pretty.
When we went to see the girl,
I've told my mother that I like the sister.
As soon as my brother gets married,
My mom will speak to their parents.
Buy one and get one? That's a great deal.
Stop embarrassing me again!
They'll agree. Don't worry.
Okay, I'll take your leave now.
Don't forget to attend the wedding.
Okay.
How was it in Bannur Maadeva?
What do I even tell you?
We'd have rice, three times a day!
Rice three times a day?
There was no mention of ragi-ball at all!
Eating that little-grained rice…
It would feel so ecstatic!
Buddy…
Would anybody scold you, or beat you there?
For how long did you have to work daily?
Nobody ever lifted their hand on me.
There were two cows in the house.
I would leave them out to graze and then…
I'd play along with Ramesha, Mahesh and Majeed.
In the evening, Dibbajja would narrate stories.
We'd listen to them and have great fun.
At night, we would watch TV.
Buddy…
What is a TB?
Don't you know what a TV is?
TV is like a wooden box we have at home.
That is called a TV.
Inside a TV…
Many people appear.
They indulge in fist-fighting
They dance around,
They make announcements…
It's amazing to watch TV.
Does it have all languages?
Yes it does buddy!
Really? You'd have so much fun?
What's up guys?
Are y'all not attending school?
We'll come; you go ahead.
Wait guys!
Let's play for a while before we go.
Yeah, let's go after playing.
Anyways, our teacher arrives late right?
Okay play!
Please get our Maadeva here somehow.
How is it possible?
What if we get both his parents here?
Yes Sir…
-Hey, hey… careful buddy!
-Nobody saw us right? -Hurry-up Savakayya?
What's wrong with you??
Why are you taking us from this crossroad?
It's not y'all; it's Savakayya.
Hey Maadeva.
You got a sackful of rice,
But you invited us all only once for lunch.
That sack of rice got exhausted
Not to worry, I'll get you guys rice everyday now!
Let's see what you will get us.
-Let's go guys. -Move it, move it!
Hey Maadeva…
After promising us rice…
Don't trick us into eating ragi-balls.
No buddy…
In Bannur region, every house prepares only rice!
Shivalankari, keep-up with us buddy.
Savakayya… I'm exhausted buddy!
Come… let's rest somewhere ahead there.
Gavi Sidda… I can't go further. Please carry me.
Shivalankari, can he handle your weight?
Maadeva how long are we going to walk?
Are we on the right track?
I'm also getting exhausted buddy!
This is the way.
If we keep walking we'll find a hill there.
Buddy, if we go to that house again…
Won't your parents track us back?
Let's go there first. Then we'll see.
It's Okay, let's go.
If we're getting rice; I'll walk any distance!
-Come on guys! -Let's keep walking.
-Stop the vehicle. -It's Siddanna.
Damn! He saw us!
Hey…
Where are you kids going?
We are going to Bannur region.
Bannur? Why are y'all going there?
The place where Maadeva stayed at;
He'll get us rice three-times a day.
Feed y'all rice thrice daily?
Are they your relatives?
Maadeva, this is all your mischief.
Don't you know Maadeva?
Your parents…
When you went missing at the fair,
You know, what they've been through?
Is it fair to abandon them now?
Also; you are leading these kids along with you!
Here… the ragi-ball gets stuck in our throats.
There; the rice we eat just melts in your mouth!
You idiots…
We can all eat rice in our village from tomorrow!
How's that possible?
I'll tell you how!
The Government has…
Appointed me to distribute rice to the entire village.
Look at these rice sacks!
Is it true!?
It's true!
So can we all take Rice to our homes?
I'll give rice to your house,
And also to their houses.
I'll distribute Rice to the entire village!
So, can we eat rice, three-times a day?
Yes y'all can eat rice three-times a day!
Come back then! Let's go!
Come on guys, let's go back to our village.
