Why is she here?
-What is she doing here? -'Even I'm wondering'
Buchi Reddy, why has this girl come here?
Isn't she Rami Reddy's daughter?
-Namasthe brother. -Namasthe.
Hope you are fine? Please have some coffee.
-Brother will come now. -Okay, madam.
Come, dear
What is the matter?
-I want to meet brother, madam. -Is that so?
-Veerappa -Madam
Take her to meet my husband
-Please come -Go, dear
I'll enquire and let you know tomorrow
-You go now -Brother, Rami Reddy's daughter
Greetings
-She wants to meet brother. -Please come
Rami Reddy's daughter Sucharitha is here to speak with you
Good morning, brother.
Please sit.
They have murdered my father
My husband has been imprisoned
They are threatening to kill me if I enter the village
I'm very scared, brother.
High Command is giving my father's seat to his murderer in the By-election.
You should be scared only if I'm dead
Why be worried when I'm alive?
Get your nomination papers ready.
That seat is yours
Let me see who will oppose you
Hey Obulesu!
Sir
-Go and drop her home. -Alright, sir.
-I'll take leave, brother. -Take care
Election is round the corner in a year's time
Why should we get involved now?
When her father was alive, he wanted to destroy your career
Why should you help his daughter, brother?
She has stepped into our house for help. We must not rake up any political agenda
[vehicle engine revving]
[metal clunks]
Driver, stop the vehicle
Sister, you don't worry. I'll take care
You keep driving.
No need, Obulesu I'm scared
Sister, be brave. Don't get tensed.
Hey! Speed up
Hey! Accelerate... fast
Hey, remove the stones!
-Why, bro? -Don't ask, do it fast
Move your vehicles away!
What are you looking at?
Stop the vehicle.
What are you doing here at this hour?
Guzzle a bottle of alcohol and sleep tight! Go!
-Bro, what audacity! -Hey wait!
-Leave now! -I'll finish you off
Start the jeep
Why should we be scared of these pipsqueak?
They will learn their lesson when our weapons speak
Hey! Stop it
-That jeep belongs to Rajasekhara Reddy -Huh!
It is as good as blocking him if we stop his jeep
Even a small scratch on it is a scar on his body
If this jeep had stopped in our area...
...or met with an accident
...or struck by a thunder bolt
...we will be blamed
Nothing should happen to that jeep
Let her reach home safe
This should be your prayer
What gall to oppose him!
Raja..
High Command has come to know we are supporting Sucharitha
Their representative from Delhi is here to meet you
Greetings
Namaste, sir
-How are you? -I'm fine, I'm fine
Mr Reddy
This is a confidential matter
I want to speak only with you
I think you didn't understand me
I want to speak with him in private
It's understood well.
You are now speaking only with one person
Hmm... okay.
Let's come to the point then.
In the upcoming By-elections...
...High Command has confirmed a seat only to Mr Subba Reddy.
From the beginning in that constituency...
he has always opposed Sucharitha's family.
If you deny her the seat
And offer it to their enemy
...how is that right?
Only after giving it a lot of thought High Command has taken this decision
Ask Sucharitha to withdraw from the contest.
Not possible.
I've given my word.
Mr Reddy
Before giving your word you should've thought about it
I already gave it enough thought.
Why mull over it even more?
I have already decided.
This is High Command's order
Not only should you lend your support to the nominated candidate
But also campaign and ensure the candidate wins!
Let us know your decision by tomorrow.
Respected sir,
I don't know if you'll see the dawn tomorrow or not
Getting old, right?
Better to be ahead in this age!
Why wait until tomorrow?
I'll tell you my decision this very minute
No chance will I support Subba Reddy
Sucharitha will not withdraw.
Okay
Good luck!
Crowd: Long live YSR
Why are you supporting your enemy's daughter Sucharitha?
Crowd: Long live YSR
'Where are you?'
I'm close by. I'm coming.
Thank you, sir. Everything is alright.
-Thank you. -Welcome.
You please go home
I'll handle one more nomination and come
Only 30 minutes is left for filing the nomination
Please ask your candidate to hurry up
Time is up for nomination
For this by-election...
...since Sucharitha is the only candidate who has filed her nomination
...she will be declared as elected
Crowd: Long live YSR
Why are you so late, Subba Reddy?
Hope I came here at the right time, sir...
Crowd: Long live YSR
Come brother. Please sit.
-Bring 1 more coffee. -Yes, madam.
High Command is very upset with this by-election incident, Raja.
They've issued a show cause notice.
You must explain to the disciplinary committee.
You have to go to Hyderabad.
Group: Greetings, sir
-Suri, where are those papers? -Right here, sir
-Give me -Brother [panting]
They've filed some cases against our Venkat Reddy and imprisoned him.
-I'll meet Venkat Reddy and then leave. -No.
Our party's seniors are waiting for you. You may get delayed.
Party volunteers get priority, only then the seniors follow.
Let them wait. Haven't we waited ever so often?
Sir, time is up.
-How much longer should we wait? -Hmm...
Did you inform the meeting time clearly?
Have already informed, sir maybe his watch shows a different time!
He's already 1 hour late!
-Find out if he's coming or not. -Call him.
[crowd murmuring] [camera clicks]
-Sir... sir... -One minute sir.
Sir, when you've been a responsible political leader...
...how is it right to meet a criminal in jail?
He's only facing allegations.
[camera clicks] It hasn't been proved as yet he's a criminal.
He is the main accused in this case.
Doesn't this mean you are breaking political legislations?
[camera clicks] [laughs]
I went to meet my party worker.
How's that a crime? [camera clicks]
I've never endorsed murder to solve a political issue nor will I encourage it.
Sir, even if you refute, there is a whole load of charges against you.
In 1993 it's alleged you instigated communal riots to acquire the CM's post.
You were responsible for almost 100 innocent girls dying.
There's a strong allegation against you sir.
For a single post of power...
...you are slandering me for the murder of so many innocent lives.
Does your question make any sense, madam?
If I had wanted that seat of power so badly,
then isn't it easier for me to kill that one person who put a spoke in the wheel?
Why would I burden my conscience with countless deaths?
They were allegations with no evidence.
Our Court quashed those cases long ago.
[camera clicks] Sir, one last question... Please sir...
-Sir... sir... -One last question, sir.
-Sir, please. -Sir...
-Greetings, sir. -Greetings, sir.
Greetings, sir.
-Srinivas, how are you? -I'm good, sir.
Greetings, brother.
-Venkat Rao, how are you? -I am good, sir.
-When did you come, Reddy? -Today, sir.
Greetings, sir.
-How are you, grandpa? -Fine, sir.
-Is your hearing better after surgery? -What is this?
Very good, sir.
-Mr. Reddy. -Yes.
This is very shameful.
High Command is very disappointed with you.
Because of your mediation, our party's integrity is gone.
-How do you intend defending your move? -Hey! You keep quiet.
Reddy.
I was right there.
We know you are responsible for it.
I can't lie.
I was responsible for Subba Reddy withdrawing his nomination
Oh!
So shall I repeat this to the High Command?
Yes, in addition kindly inform them I have 40 MLAs
12 Members of the Parliament,
along with 10 ZPTCs supporting me.
They will be fully aware what action to take against me.
Mr. Tiwari,
take your time and let me know tomorrow...
...the action the High Command intends on taking
I'll take leave.
Only with your support,
he has come this far!
He gives scant respect to our High Command too.
What's my support?
You don't know YSR's strength.
He himself is unaware!
MANA DESAM PARTY [crowd murmuring]
Our leader is thinking about advancing the election.
He wishes to know your viewpoint regarding that
Along with Hitech city and flyovers which we built,
our popularity has increased thanks to our 'Janmabhoomi'.
Compared to the last election, this will be a bumper majority for us.
We still have plenty of time.
Why rush now?
Survey of public sentiment is also in our favor.
On top of it opposition is very weak.
Those surveys are always like that.
They will favor whichever party is in power.
Farmers and teachers are in extreme angry mode.
Then I leave it to you.
What is there to be angry about?
If we promise 2 or 3 freebies, all this will vanish.
It's like blowing a conch into deaf ears!
If we promise an increase in quash loans for farmers, free electricity and
allowances for teachers then we shall get their votes with ease.
No, kindly listen to me. History says so.
Mr. Ranga Rao, Forget history and paranoia.
If all of you are fine,
I'll inform our decision to our leader.
If Big Boss has already decided, how will our words hold sway?
He is known for his one track mind.
We have no choice but to follow him
Mr. Naidu, what do you think?
What can I say? Nod my head, that's all.
E TV NEWS
The ruling party has created a sudden stir in State politics...
...entangling the opposition in a fine knot [phone ringing continuosly]
The party has announced assembly elections to be conducted earlier
CM will give a letter to the Governor asking him to cancel the assembly.
The reason for such a sudden decision,
is based on the trust and reverence assured by the people.
So the ruling party is sure of being elected to power again.
Favorable to the ruling party.
And a challenge to the Opposition.
Many prominent political leaders have informed this to the Press.
Crowd: Long live Congress
-Welcome, sir. -Thank you.
-Greetings. -Crowd: Long live Congress
Sir, we are very happy that you have taken the party in-charge position.
Sir, he's Mr Venkat Rao.
He is a big industrialist.
He's trying for Kadiri's seat.
Yes... yes... yes.
I know his father.
Sir, along with the party funds...
...he'll take care of the expenses in that constituency.
Please recommend him strongly to the High Command, sir.
I'll speak to the High Command
-and then confirm -Thank you, sir.
Please think about it before confirming, sir.
That's Narayana Reddy's seat.
So what?
He's YSR's candidate.
So what if he's YSR candidate?
No one is bigger than the party
In our party...
...High Command's decision is final!
I know very well when and how to deal with whom.
-I will tell him. -Okay, sir.
Mr. Venkat Rao.
Take it from me.
-Your seat is confirmed. -Thank you, sir.
When you've come in person, why this envelope?
Tell me what is in this envelope.
He's Venkat Rao.
High Command has selected him as party in-charge for Anantapur district.
Party has decided to make him contest as MLA candidate in Kadiri constituency.
Isn't it brother Narayana Reddy's seat?
Then what about him?
He has lost twice, Reddy.
He's also very weak financially.
He will find it tough to even spend for his seat.
I don't think he's useful to the party anymore.
Connect the call to brother Narayana Reddy.
He's right here, brother.
-Ask him to come in. -Okay, brother.
Please come in, brother.
Brother, please come. How are you?
Why did you have to come all the way at this age?
-How are you, Raja? -Good, brother. Please sit.
Not here, brother. Please sit there.
-It's okay. -Please come and sit there.
Greetings.
In the next election, if he also loses what will you do?
Will you hunt for another candidate?
If you keep searching, how many candidates will you find?
If brother Narayana Reddy's name is not in the list...
...remove my name too!
This decision was taken by High Command, Reddy.
So you have to obey party orders.
Don't mistake my integrity and loyalty as weakness.
Didn't you always claim you are ever loyal to the party?
Is this how you respect the High Command?
There's a huge difference between loyalty and servitude.
I'm loyal to my party, not a slave!
Why would you still stay here, if you understood that.
What is this, Raja?
He does not understand how our party works.
He has been part of it for so many years,
he doesn't know anything about our party discipline or ideologies.
You are right, otherwise he would've become CM long back.
Even without a portfolio he brings the roof down.
If he's given a post, he will humiliate the High Command, sir.
We know our party's prestige and discipline Aren't we there for you?
Recommend us.
It doesn't matter if a CM is elected from our group.
But please don't select him, sir.
[cicadas critter] [clock rings]
Raja, we are not really prepared.
Since our party is not in power,
we can't expect much support from the High Command.
What is their current situation?
If you weigh the pros & cons the ruling party looks stronger than us
and well prepared, Raja.
And also their Press & Media favor them.
Became a major plus for them.
They might win in this present situation.
If we are defeated this time too, it will be our last election.
If our own men don't understand us, we might as well sit at home.
At least to put up a tough fight we don't have time, support or strength.
What do we do then?
Quit politics, huh?
Capstan, I'm scared for the first time.
Scared whatever I dreamt so far may disperse without being fulfilled.
Even if there's a way and we don't achieve our goal,
our names won't feature in the annals of history.
What to do?
We must reconcile to whatever we are destined for, Raja.
Think well and take a decision.
[thunders]
[crowd murmuring]
- Greetings, sir. - Greetings.
Venkatappa sir.
-He is my 2nd son Rajasekhara Reddy. -Oh!
From today, he is your responsibility.
You are his teacher, father and his whole world.
In addition to studies teach him political science too.
-Make him a politician with integrity. -Oh!
I've seen parents wanting their sons to become doctors and engineers.
But for the first time in my life,
I'm meeting a father who wants his son to become a political leader.
Engineer or a doctor will be of help to a limited number of people.
But a good political leader can help our entire nation.
Make him a good leader who will never go back on his word.
Whether he is in power or not...
...make him a leader who will stay in the hearts of the people forever.
A political leader can help millions of people
Politics and portfolios are not greater than our ambition.
But my ambition will remain as a ray of hope.
[birds chirping] [thundering]
Forgive me, Raja.

My teacher who inculcated values and skills along with academics.

The election to be held after a year has been advanced.
Forget about winning, even to give a tough fight,
we don't have proper strategy time or adequate strength.
What shall we do?
Shall we quit politics?
No brother, you should not.
-No, brother. -No, brother.
Some villages have water to survive.
Some have resources.
Some have trading facilities.
What do the people of Rayalaseema have, brother?
Only a daredevil attitude and stubborn nature.
How will that help us, brother?
Only instigate protests and picketing.
We sow seeds even on barren lands and wait for plants to grow.
We belong to such an optimistic clan.
Will a farmer give up farming because rains fail us?
How can you give up politics anticipating defeat?
All these years, we trusted you and believed you'll somehow help us.
Now if you want to quit what can we do, brother?
Crowd: Long live YSR
-Greetings, brother. -Greetings, brother.
Greetings, sir.
In all these 30 years of my political career,
I have seen many elections and held group politics.
Inspite of these experiences we did not get the position we wanted.
Do you know why?
We thought votes can be lured by the clap of hands.
Being part of cliques can win a position of power. ♪ MAZE HDRelease ♪
And protests can win titles.
We figured out whatever we need to become a leader.
But we failed to understand what people needed.
I feel like knowing their wants.
I feel like hearing their wishes.
I feel like visiting every household beyond this Kadapa town.
I feel like walking with them
I feel like listening to their wants and woes
If I win they will attribute it to my shrewdness
If I lose they will expel me for my foolishness
Whether this journey by foot is considered stubborn or stupid, let history decide.
Crowd: Long live YSR
You are walking in the peak of summer.
Can't you do this yatra when it is less hot?
-Where is brother? -Is this summer new to us?
This heat won't harm me.
-How are you, dear? -I'm fine, brother.
Come, sit down.
-Have breakfast. -I already did, brother.
-Everyone is waiting. -Oh!
-Greetings, brother. -Greetings, brother.
-Greetings, sir. -Greetings, sir.
Capstan, what's the plan?
Route map is ready, Raja.
I have a couple of options.
We feel it will be better to start from Tandur.
Start from Tandur, brother. That sounds like a plan.
I'll arrange a public meeting on the way at Chevella
Come, brother.
Why start from Tandur?
We can start from Chevella.
We'll start from Sabitha's house.
-No, brother. -Why?
Women like me are considered inauspicious in our society.
You are leaving for a good cause.
No need to start from my house, brother.
Auspicious time is required only for ransacking.
Why worry about it when the cause is noble?
A good heart will do.
-We shall start from Chevella. -Alright.
Hello, Khader.
I have got all the vehicles ready for your yatra, brother.
-Let me know how much. -Money isn't an issue, brother.
You must win this election.
I'm there for you whatever you need.
We will also come with you, brother.
[cicadas critter]
How much longer is this political stint?
You want to go on a yatra with him.
We don't even know if he will win.
Even if he wins how will we benefit?
Instead of following him blindly if we believe in the land we own,
we are at least assured of our daily food.
Think about it once, dear.
Gain or loss, I don't even know if he will win or not.
But I have immense faith in our brother.
I have worked under so many leaders.
At noon those leaders will ask me to have lunch and come.
But only Reddy brother will treat me as his equal, ask me to wash up,
join him for lunch and we will set out together.
Reddy brother means faith.
Get that right.
-Greetings, sir. -Tell me, KVP.
Mr. YSR wants to set out on a journey by foot.
We need the High Command's permission, sir.
Yatra by foot? From when?
From tomorrow, we are making all the arrangements.
Why do you approach in the last minute?
Ours is a national party You have to follow the rules.
Initially send your plan proposal to your State Working Committee.
They will discuss with the President of PCC and forward it to CWC.
And then the High Command will look into it.
-This is the procedure. -Oh!
Is that clear?
Right, sir.
What did he say, Capstan?
It is a national party it seems. He has rules to follow it seems.
First state CWC should propose and then president of PCC will examine.
I got it.
Let them do what they can.
We'll do what we intend to.
"One day won't your dreams,"
"come true?"
"Foggy situation will clear anew"
"Dawn will bring fresh hope soon"
"Your words will be gospel to adhere"

Grandma and grandpa, how are you?
We are fine, sir.
Are you receiving your pensions on time?
Where do we get, sir?
All those getting pensions, lift your hands.
-What is this? -Er...budget problem, sir.
According to Govt order only 10 people in every village will be paid Rs. 75.
How can the Govt allot to only 10 persons?
Can't you see they are all aged people?
Won't they have a tough time making ends meet?
Besides pension what are your other problems?
Forget about it, sir.
Look how you have tanned walking in this scorching sun?
Wonder when you last ate a good meal.
Come home and eat a handful of tasty food, sir.
I will definitely come.

Sir... come inside.
I can see only elders here.
-Where are your children? -In the city, sir.
How can they leave you at this age?
Not their fault, sir.
They did not leave us heartlessly.
Poverty has driven them to find a way to survive.
-Please have some more, sir. -Enough.
Thank you for a wonderful dinner, dear.
-Please accept this. -Why do I need it, sir?
Share it with everyone as this month's pension.
I don't need it, sir.
You have a long journey ahead.
Please use it for your expenditure.
If our party comes to power what will you need?
I don't want anything, sir.
Govt allocates pension to only ten people per village.
Unless one of them dies the next man isn't eligible.
For the sake of a pension of Rs 75,
we need to wait for an old pensioner to die!
Incapable of working at this age
Unable to do our own household chores,
we lead an uncertain life neither dead nor alive.
Please do something good for old people like me.
Thank you, sir.

Look at these people.
Not even a few 1000s are following him.
He calls this 'Paadha Yatra'?
If we went on a yatra we will have lakhs of followers.
Bribe them with beer and 'biriyani', they will surely follow.
Provide transport, why stop with a few lakhs, millions will come forward.
Look there just once.
Doesn't look like they are following him lured by freebies
without any expectations if they are supporting him,
we need to be careful.
Huh! Dear Mr. Rangarao,
Why are you scared to death?

What is great about a MLA seat?
If you can join that party and contest in the election,
win and bring few members from that party along with you to our party. [phone rings]
-Minister's post is guaranteed for you. -Okay, sir.
-Boss is calling. -Sir, good evening.
Brother, how are you?
Thank you, sir. I'm fine.

Sir, I've brought tomatoes.
Tomatoes are looking good.
But I can buy it at the price of one rupee per kg.
How can the price be mere one rupee per kg?
That's the market rate.
Yesterday, it went up till twenty five rupees.
Bring it after a week.
-I'll pay you the same rate. -This isn't yam to store and...
...get after a week. This is perishable.
Sir, I'll go if you pay me.
Please give me two minutes,
I'll pay your amount upon getting a good deal.
You... Carry on.
-Sir, please give me a good rate -Why should I see you suffer?
I'll pay you 1.5 rupees per kg.
Go inside and weigh them.
Hey, come here.
If the price is 1.50 rupees per kg,
it won't be enough even to pay for transport, father.
Sir, we toiled in the hot sun and rain for the past four months,
we sprayed fertilizers for the crops ignoring our health and
we nursed our crops better than our own children.
If you quote such a low rate how will we make our ends meet, sir?
What can I do if it isn't enough for you?
Should I pay out of my pocket?
Weigh it if you want. Else, leave.
You won't get the rate you want. Go.
Please don't say that.
Leave, I say
Hey, how many times should I ask you?
Pay me and I'll leave.
Wait for 2 minutes
-Let me check in another shop -Hey, stop.
What will I do with these tomatoes if you both of you go away?
Should I sell them myself?
Go and get the money.
Your son will be with me until then.
Go now... [boy whimpers]
People's leader,
our beloved leader,
Dr Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy
will address farmers' concerns now.
The main reason for this farmers' meeting is to learn
-about the problems of the farmers. -What will you do finding out, sir?
You'll give us assurances and promises.
In 5 years, someone else will take your place.
We farmers don't trust any political leaders.
What you said is true.
The reasons why farmers are facing severe problems
and losing faith are,
it might be due to the incumbent party
or the people like us
Everyone is to be blamed.
I take moral responsibility for this mistake
and stand as an offender with my head bowed in front of you.
I am here to listen. Please go ahead.
There's power cut when we have water.
There's no water when there is power.
In case we reap the crop as we have both, we don't get a proper price.
People say a farmer is a king.
We don't need this royalty that doesn't have minimum food, clothing and shelter.
Atleast let us live like farmers if not like kings.
You've been building airports and Hi-tech cities.
They are necessary. Build them,
But for farmers...
...please understand that insecticides, water, manure are equally essential, sir.
Even if gold and land rates escalate people buy them without batting an eyelid.
But when tomatoes shoot up from two rupees per kg to ten rupees per kg,
people say that rate has sky rocketed!
Not even one tenth of that ten rupees price won't reach us, sir.
A farmer who struggles to reap crops gets no returns at all.
There is no big difference between farmers and beggars these days, sir.
[commotion]
What happened over there?
-Hey! Let's go and check. -Sir,
That farmer, Ramana has committed suicide.
[overlap of excited voices]
Stop him... Stop him...
Move... Move aside, madam.
[overlap of voices]
[sobbing]
Slowly... Slowly.
Careful...
Take him to the vehicle quickly.
Take him quickly.
Careful
[gasping]
[overlap of voices]
GOVERNMENT HOSPITAL
Unable to sell his produce for a reasonable price,
a farmer named Ramana tried to commit suicide in the market this morning.
What is your reaction on this incident, sir? [camera clicks]
-Please comment, sir -Sir...
Greetings, sir
-How are you feeling? -He's out of danger, sir
But his vocal chords are severly damaged.
[breathing heavily]
Tell me, Ramana.
I have... struggled, bor... rowed money...
Sir, he can't speak anything.
His throat is severely injured.
I can hear him.
Your word is mine.
I'm there for you.
[sobbing] Oh no!

Even though I can't solve your problems, immediately,
it is my responsibility to inform the government
as a representative of the people.
Protests and blocking roads had no effect, brother.
Last time, when we protested near Basheerbagh to reduce electricity rates,
we were beaten up by the police like dogs.
They shot four farmers dead.
How many people can they shoot?
If they shoot every farmer who protests,
the bullets which the police force have won't be sufficient.
Whatever you say or do for this government
it is like water off a duck's back, brother.
Even when cost price of seeds and wages weren't affordable,
farmers didn't stop farming, right?
If every hungry farmer comes forward,
let us see if the government can stay unmoved.
Let us inform about our trials, tribulations
and concerns to the government.
This time,
I'll be there for you.
Long live YSR
Strongly condemning the government's negligence towards farmers
and in a protest against the government's ways [phone ringing]
-the people's leader, YSR... -Yes, sir.
...called for farmers strike outside the collector's office.
I'm watching that.
-I will do it, sir. Thank you, sir. -Farmers' Union and Left parties...
...have also extended their support showing solidarity.
Don't worry, sir.
We have everything under control.
We will take care.
We witnessed your control and power in Basheerbagh's Farmers' agitation.
We are still suffering from the back lash of that incident.
Look here, DGP.
This time, not even a single baton should break
or a single bullet should be fired.
But that protest shouldn't take place.
We support farmers' protest.
[upheaval]
We support farmers' protest.
[upheaval]
As a precautionary measure,
the government refused permission for the farmers' protest.
-And the police is arresting... -Greetings, sir.
...farmers and activists.
-Who are coming from the other areas... -How are you, Venkat Rao?
I'm good, sir.
Sir, your 'yatra' has received a huge overwhelming response from the public.
Our party will certainly win.
Sir, keep this money for necessary expenses.
Why do you spend when your ticket isn't confirmed as yet?
-I don't mind if I don't contest -One minute
Brother, the central forces are all over the place.
They are saying that we will be arrested if we step outside.
-Nothing of that sort will happen-Long live YSR
-Don't go out, sir. Please cooperate.-Long live YSR
'Long live YSR'
-You stay here -We'll come with you, brother.
Sir... Sir, don't go out. [camera clicks]
[marching]
Sir, please don't go. Please, sir. Sir...
Mr YSR didn't pay heed to my words and is stepping out.
Okay... Okay.
I'll inform our higher officials.
Sir
We have to take you into custody for violating prohibitory orders.
Please cooperate with us.
It is a fundamental right in a democratic country to protest.
How can you even politicize this in the name of security and order?
It's a law and order issue, sir.
We've taken everybody into preventive custody. Please.
Do farmers seem to you like thugs and anti-social elements?
I made the same mistake as they did.
Take to where you took them.
Okay
[people shouting]
Long live YSR
Sir, look how ruthlessly the policemen have beaten us.
They have beaten us black and blue, sir.
Long live YSR
Farmers are criminals in the eyes of this government.
Farming has become a crime now.
Unable to repay their loans,
when farmers request for instalments, their lands are being confiscated.
If they request reduction of electricity charges, they are being shot.
They are punished for the crimes that are not committed by them.
But when a foreign company offers jobs for 5 years,
land will be provided, roads will be laid,
Royalty is given and non-stop power on a platter for 24 hours.
What is the reason for this hatred to our farmers?
Instead of being indebted to them,
they are being tortured in name of non payment of loans.
We spend in millions for the nation's development,
There is nothing wrong in it.
But food safety is also essential along with that.
It is necessary to take responsibility in providing security to farmers
as well as in supporting them.
Today if I should describe the plight of farmers,
they toil for six months and harvest good variety of rice.
But they consume government rationed rice even on festival days
and as they can't afford this rice.
In this 'yatra' I met farmers whose eyes welled with tears.
I saw dry lands which didn't even get drenched from their tears.
I met many farmers who saw these lifeless parched lands and sacrificed their lives!
Your words are mine.
I'm here for you.
After our party comes to power,
I'll give immense importance to agriculture
We'll give free electricity
[applause]
You will get all that you deserve.
[people cheering]
Future chief minister, Long live YSR!
-Stop it! -Long live YSR!
This is not our party. We shouldn't support him.
I'm a farmer first, only then I'm a party worker.
Long live YSR!
[people cheering] Long live YSR!
Sir, If your party comes to power, are you going to be the CM?
I don't know about that. My party will decide that.
Then, how can you make these promises if you are not a CM candidate?
If my party comes to power,
whether I am the CM or someone else is
the first signature will be on the file ensuring free electricity to the farmers.
I'll make sure it is signed.
I've given my word.
I'll think twice before giving my word.
There is a lot pending to be done.
THERE IS A LOT PENDING.
If my party comes to power,
whether I am the CM or someone else is
the first signature will be on the file ensuring free electricity to the farmers.
I'll make sure it is signed.
I've given my word.
I'll think twice before giving my word.
Once I do, there is no looking back.
[phone rings]
Yes, madam
Yes, ma'am
Yes
Huh!
He's no great shakes in any which way and they are treating him like royalty
There was neither any election held nor our party won it.
But he thinks himself to be the next CM
and busy promising reforms in people's favour, brother.
He knows the difference between the nerve and the bone very clearly.
People have responded very well to his 'yatra'.
He knows the pulse of the people.
-What's big deal in his yatra? -Yes
-We can also follow suit. -Okay
-We can't travel by foot. -Okay, madam. Okay.
We can do a bus 'yatra', brother.
We will get a better response. What do you say?
He's doling out promises like freebies, sir.
Won't the high command punish him, sir?
They've granted him a promotion not punishment.
He has been given additional responsibility...
...of being in charge of the election campaign.
What are you saying, sir?
Are you asking us to forget the enemity with him?
Or do you want us to quit politics altogether?
There are no permanent friends and enemies in politics, Keshav Reddy.
People don't trust us the way they have implicit faith in him.
Let him face all the pain and problems.
We will share all the positions when we gain power.
You're assuming he will grant all your wishes on a golden platter
Is he new to politics? Or doesn't he have his bag of tricks?
[phone ringing]
Hello?
Okay, sir.
I'll inform Mr YSR, right now.
Thank you, sir.
What are they saying, Capstan?
They've granted permission for the yatra.
Is that so?
Who wants their permission now, Capstan?
Just because they have granted, can we walk all those miles all over again?
[chuckles]
They received some important piece of news from the high command.
They wants to talk to you, so they are calling you.
Well, we'll meet them in the morning.
Call Venkat Rao, ask him to make arrangements for the meeting tomorrow.
Okay.
Sir.
Okay. I'll take care, sir.
Thank you, sir. Thank you.
If needed, bring henchmen from the neighboring town too.
Forget about expenses, I'll bear it.
Okay.
We will pass on information to press and media tomorrow.
He's preaching like Mahatma Gandhi.
Let's see.
His true colors will be revealed tomorrow.
We are there, right sir? We'll show him tomorrow.
Let me see how he enters our town with his 'yatra'.
Stay right here.
-Greetings, sir. -Greetings, sir.
Please sit down, I'll inform them.
[crockery clinking]
I asked for bone marrow, You've got some inferior stuff?
Sir, Mr YSR is waiting to meet you.
-Send him in. -Sir.
He asked you to come in, sir.
Er...sir, this is confidential matter.
Sir wishes to see only you...
KVP will also come in with me.
Tell him, if we come it will be both of us.
One minute, sir. I'll go, find out.
Sir, he insists on bringing Mr KVP along with him.
Huh!
Didn't I tell you, the 'atma' is inseparable from the God 'paramatma'?
If he wants a position tell him he has to meet me alone.
-Please don't waste our time. -Okay, sir.
Sir, if you don't mind, only you can...
Just tell what he said.
He said if you want a position, you have to meet him alone.
What is there in position?
Compared to the people who believe in me
tell him these fancy positions are meaningless.
With elections round the corner why rub him the wrong way?
I have see many such titles and designations.
We have a plenty of work to catch up.
-We are hard-pressed for time, let's go. -Sir...
Sir... Sir, please.
Didn't I tell you, sir? He won't reform.
Greetings, sir
They are protesting in the route you've planned.
Please change your route, sir
We took all the permissions, didn't we?
How can we change in the last minute?
It's a security problem, sir. Sir...
-YSR -Down Down!
Sir, give me 10 minutes. I'll clear the entire crowd.
Why are you listening to them?
-We have thousands of supporters behind us -Please sir
If we move forward, the protestors will give way.
-Please listen to us, sir. -What's there to listen?
Don't underestimate YSR and his prestige.
He is the lion of Rayalaseema
Generally, people would be scared to stop our vehicle.
When that's the case, Who will have the gall to stop you?
If we retreat now, others will follow suit and block our way.
Let's go forward, brother.
Long live YSR.
YSR Down Down!
Long live YSR
I will talk to them.
Sir, please sir.
If you go now, we will face security problems.
Please listen, sir. Sir, please.
Don't worry.
YSR Down Down!
[shouting anti-slogans]
We won't accept your rallies or yatra into our village.
YSR Down Down!
Our town has 16053 votes.
Your party hasn't got even 1 vote till now.
That won't change either.
There is no use how many ever yatras and rallies you undertake.
Please go back.
I didn't come here for votes or any political gain.
Whatever you may say we won't trust your party or you, nor let you enter.
Wait man. I'm talking to this elderly gentleman, right?
Raghavaiya sir, I may not see eye to eye with your party or its ideologies.
But when I see you fight relentlessly without any selfish interests
or desire for power for the welfare of your people
I have an immense respect for you.
Whether you believe me or not
my main intention of this yatra
is only to learn about our people's day to day trials and
no hidden political agenda.
Only if you along with your people welcome my yatra wholeheartedly,
I will enter into your town.
We oppose your yatra.
Please do not enter.
I respect your opinion and your opposition.
I take leave.
[people cheering]
He got terrified by our strength, brother.
He stepped back. We won.
The Rajasekhara Reddy I know will not give a damn to the opposition.
Whether we have manpower or not, he won't take even one step back.
But he has changed.
This isn't his defeat. It is his victory.
Rajasekhara
[thunders]
I believe you have reformed.
You no longer possess your stamp of impulse and anger.
Proof of that change is your humility and integrity.
I will vote for you this time.
Not for your party!

Hello, brother
One moment, brother.
Brother, Mr KVP wants to talk to you.
Raja, media is reporting in our favour now.
Why take risks at this time?
Should you definitely go there?
I have to go.
[vehicle arrives]
Greetings, sir.
He has forged your signature to obtain a gun license, sir.
He has even confessed to accepting a bribe of Rs. 35000, sir.
-I wish to speak to Baasha. -Please come in, sir.
[breathing heavily]
Sit down, Baasha
Bring us two cups of tea.
No sugar in Baasha's cup.
Greetings, sir
Did you really do this, Baasha?
Yes, brother.
I just can't believe that you did it.
What was the necessity to sell your integrity for a mere sum of Rs 35,000?
For my son's education, sir.
If he wasn't good at studies like me,
I would've got him some menial job thinking it as my fate.
He studies well, brother.
He even got a seat to pursue engineering.
If I have to pay a steep fee of Rs 35000 with my meagre salary,
this would not be possible, brother.
I didn't want my son punished for my inability to provide. ♪ MAZE HDRelease ♪
What I did was wrong.
I don't mind being punished, brother.
[gasps]
Mr Reddy, you are in no way connected with this case.
If you want you can say you have no idea who Syed Baasha is.
If a person known to you commits a crime,
he won't become a stranger to us overnight.
I know Baasha very well.
Wages fixed by the government are so low
and greed makes people like him stoop to this level.
Why tarnish your name by supporting such criminals, sir?
It is not greed, it is need of the hour.
There might be ninety five percent corrupt officers.
But a government employee like Baasha who values integrity more than his life
can falter or cross the line
for his son's education or his daughter's marriage,
or for hospital expenses.
Sometimes they break the law unnecessarily.
Even then isn't it wrong to accept a bribe, sir?
We should not tolerate this.
If Baasha who is so honest was tempted to accept a bribe,
It is the mistake of our government for paying him a mere 100 rupees per day.
Knowing very well it will not cover his basic necessities,
it is the fault of the higher officials who turn a deaf ear.
Helpless state of leaders like me who are by his side right here.
He is not to be blamed,
we should bow our heads in disgrace.
Whatever might be the reason, it is a crime, sir.
If a trusted worker steals from our own house,
the reason is our inability to understand her situation and circumstance.
Whatever it is, what he did is wrong
Instead of reviewing this as a crime and regarding him as a criminal,
please forgive him this time considering it as a mistake of ignorance.
-Greetings, sir. -Yes?
What is it Baasha?
-My son, sir. -Greetings, sir.
-Study well. -Okay, sir.
-If you need anything ask me. -Okay, sir.
-I will take care.
Okay, sir.
[chuckles]
-How are you, sir? -I am fine, Raja.
Come, sit down.
-Greetings, sir. -Greetings.
[phone rings] Brother, excuse me.
-Hello! Greetings Mr. Venkat Rao.-Tell me, Mr. Rao.
They have offered Kadiri seat to three other persons.
You are in the fourth place.
It is said 'information is wealth',
I have informed you. Don't forget about the 'wealth' part.
Jai Mana Desam party.
People have responded very well to your yaatra, Raja.
We can give tough competition in the elections this time.
How are the preparation for election, brother?
That is... I came here to talk to you about that.
I don't feel like contesting this time in election, Raja.
Why, brother? What happened?
Even though I wish to contest,
both my age and health don't seem to cooperate.
-Just contest for this last time brother. -No, Raja.
I have done for the enough,
and it's enough.
Alright, brother, as you wish.
Then, what shall we do about your seat?
[chuckles]
You decide, Raja.
Whomever you choose you can be assured of our support.
If you have no objection, I would like Venkat Rao to contest.
What do you say, brother?
Good decision, Raja. As you wish.
Mr. Venkat Rao,
this time instead of Narayana Reddy brother you contest in Kadiri.
No, brother.
I'll talk to the High Command.
A definite no, brother.
I don't want any seat.
Brother, don't ever trust someone like me in your life.
I'll be the 1st person to jump parties if lured by a seat of power!
Brother, before I entered politics...
...my father called me and advised me.
My son, shake hand with your right hand and have a stone handy on your left hand.
Be prepared always' he said.
All these days I thought that was politics is a nutshell.
Between stabbing one's back as a political move and earning one's trust,
I realized the difference here, brother.
I've learnt by seeing you.
Looking at you and your political approach,
I realize that I don't need anything, brother.
Brother, I am telling you as a sworn witness,
I don't want any post, brother.
If I face any trouble in future...
...treat me with the same affection you shower on Mr. Narayana Reddy.
That's more than enough, brother.
[chaos]
We lead an uncertain life neither dead nor alive...
Please do something good for old people like us.
[screaming]
[applause]
He is stronger than me, father.
That is why I lost.
[sighs]
Do you know the distance between defeat and victory?
As tiny as a rice grain.
One who tolerates pain and discomfort 2 seconds more than his opponent...
...will emerge as the winner.
He is suffering from sunstroke. [vehicle honks]
He is dehydrated.
His legs are also injured.
His blood pressure is fluctuating.
He is being treated, he is under monitoring.
We'll keep you updated with all the details from time to time
Sir... sir... please, sir. One minute.
Brother, I already told you not to go.
[phone rings] You should have listened to me.
-Hello. -What if something had happens to you?
-Yes, I am passing the phone to him. -Don't worry, nothing has happened to me.
Dear, Jagan is on the line.
Am alright, Sunny.
-Look what has happened. -There is nothing to worry.
Complete your work and come, okay?
[caughs] [indistinctive voices]
I've checked all the reports madam.
Your daughter has a hole in her heart, we should do a major surgery immediately.
There are too many patients waiting here.
It will take days for your turn.
It's already been late.
I will talk to a doctor friend in a private hospital.
Have her operated over there.
What will be the cost, sir?
Around Rs. 3,00,000.
Her life will be in risk if you delay.
Please take her soon.
Madam, this is the private hospital address doctor told you about.
What will we do with this sir?
Sir, if I could afford that money, why would I will come to this Govt. hospital?
Madam, you should take loan etc.
What is more precious than your child's life?
[sighs]
Even if I go to borrow 1 kg of rice,
people will think twice before giving.
Who will trust me and lend me that huge amount, sir?
Will you do what I say?
I will arrange the money for your daughter, come with me.
-Greetings, sir. -How are you?
I am fine, sir.
[indistinctive voices]
-Greetings, sir. -Greetings.
Lie down, don't get up.
-How is she? -She is alright, sir.
He is Dr. Reddy from our village.
He use to be a well known doctor before he entered politics.
-Oh! -He used to treat for just one rupee.
That's why we used to call him, 'One rupee doctor'.
Sir, you use to treat people for just one rupee it seems.
My sister is ill.
Take this one rupee and cure her, sir. Please, sir.
I won't even take that one rupee if it is for you, dear.
-Let's go. -Come, sir.
-I'll talk to the doctor. -Okay, sir.
What is the problem madam?
Sir, she is suffering from a hole in her heart and she's in a critical condition.
This is the person I told you about. [metal clinks]
They live in America.
Your daughter has to take care of their grandmother and stay here.
They will only give those 3,00,000 rupees for your daughter's surgery.
How old is your daughter?
Nine years, sir.
Can she do all the works?
Hmm...
[sobbing]
-Stone, paper, scissor. -Stone, paper, scissor.
-Hey you are cheating... -No! No... You are only cheating sister.
-Let's play again. -Okay!
-Stone. -Stone.
-Paper. -Paper.
Mom!
Kavitha, get up.
Kavitha!
Get the stretcher... quick!
[door opens]
[door closes]
[sobbing]
Mom... Mom...
Mother, sister is there inside.
Chief doctor is on the way it seems.
Your sister will be fine, dear.
You don't cry, come.
Sit down.
-Don't cry. -Okay!
We even have money now,
I'll take her to a big hospital and get her treated,
-You don't worry. Okay? -Hmm...
-That's the girl, sir. -Okay.
[sobbing]
If you want your sister to get operated you have to go with them, my dear.
You have to stay with them and must do whatever they ask you to do.
I don't want to go mom, I want to be with you.
[sobbing]
If you don't go we cannot save your sister, dear.
How will we get money for her operation?
I wish I had got the heart ailment instead of my sister, mom.
Then you wouldn't have sent me away and would have kept me with you, right mom?
I don't want to go, I'll be with you mom.
[sobbing]
-Come, dear. -I don't want to go, mom.
[door knocks]
[door creaks]
Come in, dear. What can I do for you?
[sobbing]
You are one rupee doctor right?
You be a doctor all your life.
[sobbing] [coins clinks]
My father used to say that...
...I can help crores of people if you become a politician.
Capstan, then why this girl is saying that if I be a doctor it would be better?
[coins clinks]
If a politician decides to do good,
I should show them what he can do.
If we get into power, it might be a very big hospital...
...we should provide free medical aid for every poor person.
Free medical schemes are not prevalent
even in less populated countries like America.
Considering our population, our funds wouldn't be enough, Raja.
In home if our mother or father fall ill,
will we leave them lying in their cot saying we can't afford to treat them?
If we don't have enough money we will borrow or take loan.
If we could not get that, we even try to save their lives by begging right?
Why can't the Govt. do the same for it's own people?
Every year the Govt. spends hundreds of crores in campaigning and publicity.
If that same money is spent on free medical aid for the poor,
will stay forever in every poor persons heart.
In my 30 years of political career.
I have listened about poverty when intellectuals and leaders were speaking.
I have also spoken thinking I know what I'm saying.
But for the 1st time I have witnessed real poverty in this yatra.
The most dreadful disease is not cancer or heart disease.
Poverty!
There isn't any other punishment worse than poverty.
Poverty is not just about absence of food, clothing and shelter.
Unable to provide proper education for one's own son or daughter.
Unable to afford for treatment when one falls sick is also poverty.
Why can't the poor fall ill?
If so, should he or she die due to shortage of cash?
Shouldn't the children of the poor have access to higher studies?
When our Govt. comes into power,
if the poor people gets any trouble and ask help to the Govt.
should not ask about your caste, religion and party.
I will give a card beyond caste and religion.
When you fall ill,
it might be a very big hospital you should go with courage, showing that card.
without even the need of rupee you should get treated.
With that same card, a student should be able to study any course with ease.
[applause]
Yes.
Sure, ma'am.
I will discuss with him.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Sir, chances are real good for us to come into power this time.
If we win, we should not dangle like a puppet on his string, sir.
Add only those who are favorable to us in the final list, sir.
High Command has already approved of the list we prepared.
I have been asked to talk to YSR.
If the High Command has approved where is the need to talk to him, sir?
[birds creeping] [phone rings]
Greetings, sir.
Sir.
1 minute, sir.
Raja, High Command has dispatched the final list of candidates it seems.
They want to meet you to discuss it.
Should only I go?
Or find out if both of us can go.
Sir.
He wants to know if he should come alone or can he bring an associate?
Both of you can come.
They say, both of us can go.
Ask him to come over this time, Capstan.
Invite him here?
Sir, Mr. YSR feels it will be better if you come here yourself this time.
[indistinctive voices]
-Greetings, sir. -Greetings, sir.
-Greetings. -Greetings, sir.
-Greetings, sir.
-Greetings.
Brother is in a meeting Please take a seat, sir.
Please sit down, sir.
I'll let him know you are here.
Come, sir. Please sit down.
[sighs]
Grandpa, how are you?
What brings you here?
I came to invite you brother.
Is that so? Sit down.
I'll let him know.
Greetings, sir.
Sir, please wait I'll inform brother.
Grandpa, go in. Brother will see you now.
What is this?
-Did you tell him I'm here? -I did, sir.
But brother wanted to see grandpa first.
Grandpa, come with me.
[sighs]
Tell me.
Hmm...
Party is very happy with your work, Reddy.
High Command has finalized the list of candidates for the constituencies.
Sir.
What is this?
Candidates list for all the 294 constituencies, selected by me.
I guarantee they will win.
Hand it over to the High Command.
It's time for lunch, come and join me.
Please.
Veerappa, did you eat?
No, brother, I'll eat later.
-Come and eat with me. -No need, brother.
Sit down. Come sir, sit.
Sit down, man.
Serve.
[dishes clinks]
[coughs]
[clears throat]
Listen to me, dear. Your fever hasn't reduced.
Both your feet are badly blistered.
Won't it be better if you rest up a bit?
Sun is scorching hot.
In case something happens to you again.
Does the farmer sweat it out under the shade of a tree?
Does the laborer toil sitting in the shade?
Whether starving or sweating it out in the sun...
...they wait eagerly to pour their heart out to me.
What is my pain compared to theirs?
I know people wait for hours to share their sorrow.
I also know how much your assurance matters to them.
But all of them are aware of your present state of ill health.
If you do not set out on your yatra they will understand for sure.
I have to go, Vijaya.
I have given my word.
My promise holds good whether in loss or pain.
I have to step forward.
-YSR! -Long live YSR.

'No trace whatsoever of the helicopter in which Dr Y. S. R. Reddy was travelling.'
Chief Ministers helicopter falls and absolutely no contact...
'Pilot must have landed in a remote forest.'
'Due to bad weather.'
'That is what we assume as of now.'
'Velugodu, Athmakuru, Pamulapaadu.'
'Helicopter must have force landed in one of these areas in everyone's belief.'
SEPTEMBER 3rd, 2009.
And on reaching the spot we came to know...
...that unfortunately there were no survivors.
"TV: The journey of the people's leader ends."
I haven't got this month's pension, sir.
The benevolent man who gave it is dead.
-How did he die, sir? -Oh God!
"TV: He left our world"
"Rajanna, have you left our Mother Earth?"
"Have you moved forth from your place of birth?"
"Lord of our homes day and night Pupil of our eyes; a light so bright"
"Rajanna, to rest in peace forever"
"Have you departed, our dear savior?"
"In the depths of a forest impregnable"
"In ill-omened hours unfavorable"
"Circling the skies, o' birds of prey"
"Where has our Rajanna passed away?"
My dear son.
YSR is with us.
He isn't dead, he is in our hearts.
"Sprinkling coral jasmine with eagerness"
"Waiting for your arrival in earnest on the roads you travel with a zeal ardent"
"You left us in grief and numbed sadness"
"Your refreshing smile so charismatic,"
"Your confident stride that spells magic"
"Before you could sit in the village panchayat"
"You fell to the ground; unexpected exit"
If God who as a godsend came to help us poor people is no more,
I feel God doesn't exist anymore.
[sobbing]
He has passed away leaving us orphaned on earth.
"Rajanna, you are a man of your word You set a fine example to this world"
"In our hearts you are unforgettable Beyond compare, you're unsurpassable"
"In our hearts and humble dwelling,"
"You will reign as our leader sterling"
"We will think of you with fondness when we light our lamps as the sun sets"
"Fond memories of you will envelop us"
Dr. Rajasekhara Reddy lives in every single smile
I am also a part of that smile.
Let all of us unite...
