Rakhta Charitra

'Someone great once

said India's... '

'... soul resides in

its villages.'

'When he said this he was either

ignorant of the truth... '

'... or just plain naive.'

'Because even today many places

of this country... '

'... are embroiled in

gory battles.'

'One such place is Anandpur... '

'... where people in the fight

for ego, women and power... '

'... put their lands,

their properties... '

'... their families and even

their lives at stake.'

'And this cycle of violence

continues... '

'... generation after generation

without ever taking a pause.'

'In Anandpur's violent

battles... '

'... so much blood

has been shed... '

'... that the so-called

soul of India... '

'... instead of residing here is

mourning somewhere else.'

'This violent history

of Anandpur... '

'... is Rakhta Charitra (history

drenched in blood).'

'Narsimha Deva Reddy is the

most powerful MLA... '

'... of Anandpur province.'

'Veerbhadra is Narsimha's

close aide... '

'... who in spite of belonging

to a lower caste... '

'... due his hardworking nature

and dedication... '

'... became indispensable

for Narsimha... '

'... and Narsimha used

to hand him... '

'... over all his important

tasks... '

'... and take his advice in

all crucial matters.'

'Veerabhadra's growing

popularity... '

'... and influence in this

province made... '

'... people of Narsimha's caste... '

'... especially Nagamani Reddy

extremely jealous.'

'He was just waiting... '

'... for an opportunity to remove

Veerabhadra out of the way.'

'And on the other hand the

intelligent, ideal Veerabhadra... '

'... as the leader of

the backward... '

'... and the underprivileged

classes went about working... '

'... to win the upcoming district

council elections... '

'... for the development of his

province and his people.'

With Narsimha Reddy's

blessings...

...in this year's district

council election...

...only candidates from amongst

us are going to contest...

...for every seat on

our party's behalf.

From now onwards our people

would get at least...

...eight hours' work every day and

get clean drinking water...

...and along with our children's

education...

...they will also have bright

future prospects.

Mr. Reddy, keeping his faith

in us, in our hard work...

...and in our loyalty has put

this responsibility...

...on our shoulders.

We took in return should

work doubly hard...

...and sustain his faith in

us. And we will do it.

I promise you that with your

help together we will...

...realize Narsimha Reddy's

every dream.

Mr. Reddy.

Our people are angry.

Veerabhadra...

...is allotting most

of the seats for...

...the district council elections

to the people of his caste.

What do you mean by 'People

of his caste'?

In our constituency there

are many people...

...of Veerabhadra's caste. We

have to look after everyone.

Veerabhadra is doing

the right thing.

He is not doing. He

is just saying.

What do you mean?

He is using you.

He is slowly taking your

power into his hands.

You are sitting here at home and

he is going around town...

...telling everyone that

he is the real leader.

You will face dual blows

because of that.

How come? - You are becoming

weak among our people.

And among other castes where

you should've won...

...some brownie points he is

walking away with the credit.

Your grandfather once

told you something...

Sister.

Wow! What a pleasant surprise!

That's not the thing, sister.

You know how is it...

We don't have time to breathe...

...ever since his election

work has begun.

We have to make tea and snacks

for hundreds of people.

There's always a rush

at home. - It happens.

Greetings, sister.

So Veerabhadra...

I hear some complaints

against you.

Sister-in-law, after marriage

even praises...

...sound like complaints. - Ok.

Ok. Don't justify yourself now.

I got hold of you after a long

time. Please sit down.

I will make some coffee for you.

Sir, Mr. Narsimha is calling

you. - I'll be back in a while.

Sister...

...I will prepare the rasam (sort

of tamarind soup) today.

But what happened?

Why did you cancel their

seats all of a sudden?

Do I have to answer that?

I don't want to get

into an argument.

I have taken the decision.

But Mr. Reddy, you gave

me the right...

...to take decision regarding

this matter earlier.

Don't argue with me.

You may not want to answer...

...but I have to answer my

people. - Your people?

When did they become

your people?

You think you are their lord?

I gave them my word.

With whose permission did

you give them your word?

Mr. Reddy, after working for

you for all these years...

...and after doing whatever

I did for you...

...you are asking me this

question today? - Hey!

Have you done us a favor

by working here?

In return Mr. Narsimha has

done so much for you.

I understand everything,

Nagamani. Everything.

Mr. Reddy, I have been

patient till now.

Before this matter

gets worse... - Hey!

You are threatening

Mr. Narsimha?

What's that look?

Look down. Look down!

No, no, no. - It will

taste great.

What are you doing! So much

spice? He won't eat it.

No! If you won't add

this much spice...

...they won't even touch

it here. Add some more.

That's why there's so much

aggression in you people.

They like it very spicy. - Nari.

Let's go from here. - What

happened? - I said let's go.
