1
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:38,920
From time immemorial, people have
tried to steal the Kadambas’ treasure.
2
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:46,040
On one such night, the thieves
disguised themselves as Bedas and
3
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:49,880
struggled to cross the Kadambas’
fortress with the stolen treasure.
4
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:54,360
No matter how far they ran, they
kept returning to the same spot.
5
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:57,280
It was Maaramma's powers at play.
6
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,360
The land was protected by Goddess Maari.
7
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,480
If the Maarigallu (Statue) is here,
the fort's door is on the other side.
8
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:09,960
I'm scared.
9
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,440
No need to be scared. Let's go!
10
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,200
After a lot of failed attempts,
they started running again.
11
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,600
But they ended up in the same spot.
12
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:26,640
They were stuck
in the loop of time.
13
00:01:28,960 --> 00:01:30,360
Maari's illusion...
14
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,720
The belief that Maari was
protecting the treasure.
15
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,880
The fear that Maari won't spare
those who steal the treasure.
16
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,160
What happened to them in the end?
17
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:25,360
MAARIGALLU - MAARI'S GUARDIAN STONE
18
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:32,000
Mayura Sharma’s capital of the
Kadamba clan was Banavasi, near Sirsi.
19
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:37,720
Our Kadambas raised Karnataka’s
banner of pride across South India.
20
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:41,200
The Kadambas were the
first kingdom of Karnataka.
21
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,120
In ancient times, it was
called Vyjayanthipura.
22
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,840
From the 4th–5th century,
the Talagunda Shantivarma's
23
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,800
Sanskrit pillar inscription
tells us about their rule.
24
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,960
The Halmidi village inscription
also holds a lot of such information.
25
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,520
During the Kadambas’
reign, Kannada was made the
26
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,080
administrative language
for the first time, Sir.
27
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:05,000
About twenty kilometers from Sirsi,
there’s a village called Banavasi.
28
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,720
That village was the
capital of the Kadambas.
29
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,680
We found all these
artefacts there.
30
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:18,920
Also, about twenty kilometers from
Banavasi, there’s a place called Maarigallu.
31
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,200
It lies deep inside
a dense forest.
32
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:26,760
I was the one who
'invented' that village, Sir.
33
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:36,560
We’ve found many markers, such as pots
and other items used by the Kadamba kings.
34
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:37,600
We'll find more, Sir.
35
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:39,040
Sir, excuse me?
36
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,640
There used to be a fortress there.
37
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,360
It was known as the Maarigallu Fortress.
38
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:46,880
The proof of the fort’s existence...
39
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,760
Is this map you’re looking at, Sir.
40
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:52,800
Sir, I didn’t give up on this.
41
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,800
I dug, unearthed, and turned the
ground upside down to find this proof.
42
00:03:58,360 --> 00:03:59,760
- Very good.
- Thank you, Sir.
43
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:05,240
Sir, when will the new team
join the Maarigallu project?
44
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:09,360
You’ve gone deep into the
details of the Maarigallu project.
45
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:10,680
Go deeper.
46
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:12,280
Continue.
47
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:13,800
Erm.. But Sir.
48
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,680
Man, why did he say that?
49
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:20,600
Sir?
50
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,440
- Sir, I have a daughter.
- Okay?
51
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:25,520
I need to get her married.
52
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,200
In my thirty years of exp...
53
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:29,400
Not as long as yours, Sir.
54
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:36,720
Wherever I’ve worked, city or
village, I’ve worked hard and sincerely.
55
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,000
If you can get me posted
anywhere near Mysuru,
56
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,880
I’ll find a groom for my
daughter and get her married.
57
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:44,000
Please?
58
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:45,880
Please do this for me, Sir.

Here's an idea, Marigowda.

Since you’ve done
everything so far, finish this too.

Varada, come what may, we have to
win the Bedara Vesha competition this year.
68
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:27,640
Not just winning.
69
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,480
We'll make sure the
Master's flag flies high.
70
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,560
How long will you keep
serving the Master?
71

Let's get out from his
shadow and do something.

Will our self-esteem fill our tummies?

Master is like God to us.
74
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:43,760
Think about winning
the competition first.
75
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,520
- Acts like an idiot.
- God knows about winning.

I don't trust these
peacock feathers at all.

They're extremely flimsy.

Let's hope the feathers don't
fly away when you dance.
79

Why are we discussing this?
80

The sellers will get them for us.
Not really an issue.
81
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,720
The sellers stopped ever since the
forest department started troubling them.
82
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,000
Why are you getting worked up now?
83
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,320
- Like I don't know the forest enough?
- Exactly.

You know, Vascodagama?
91
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,680
He cheated us and
got us from Africa.
92

After he was done with his
work, he had to return home.
93

- He abandoned us in the forest.
- We know man.

I don't need favours.
177
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,280
Give it here.
178
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,560
What belongs to you, is in here.
179
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:17,920
Keep it.
180
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,680
- Hey! Let's go.
- We don't want the tea.
181
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,080
- We'll visit another day.
- Moron, shut up now!
182
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:21,520
- Goddess!
- Oho!
183
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,320
This is the annual
garlanding ritual.
184
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:25,440
Aye! Aye!
185
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:27,960
A service offered for the
protection of this village.
186
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:32,840
We request you to protect the
village from all troubles and hardships.
187
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:33,880
Oho!
188
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:37,240
I shall consent! I shall! I shall!
189
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,800
I wholeheartedly accept your service.
190
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:45,280
I shall protect this village, as it
has been entrusted to me, Ballaali!
191
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,040
[PRIMORDIAL SCREAM]
192
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:50,680
The offerings are delicious.
193
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:52,440
Maybe we should have
gotten more cooked.
194
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,120
How many will you
feed? This is enough.
195
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:55,160
Master, listen.
196
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,640
Somebody was digging for
something on my way here from home.
197
00:12:57,680 --> 00:13:00,400
When I questioned them, they
mentioned something about inscriptions.
198
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,600
Thefts are on the
rise in the village.
199
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,240
Master, could you please
go that way and check?
200
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:07,400
Those scoundrels! Let's go!
201
00:13:12,680 --> 00:13:14,760
This village's filled with inscriptions!
202
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:17,840
Not one of them are maintained. Ugh!
203
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:21,720
God knows how
many more are there!
204
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:24,800
Who the hell are you,
moving those stones, bastard?!
205
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:26,640
Are you moving them to
make your own graves?
206
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:27,960
- Leave them alone!
- Hey!
207
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:29,840
- Calm down.
- What?!
208
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:31,520
Who are you guys?
209
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,280
- He's the Master of this village.
- Wait man.
210
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,280
This village and even the road's mine.
211
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,520
The air you're
breathing is also mine.
212
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:41,640
- Who are you guys?
- Oh!
213
00:13:41,680 --> 00:13:43,040
Is that inscription yours?
214
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:44,920
We're unable to
unearth it. Care to help?
215
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,240
What?! An inscription?
216
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:50,120
Who gave you the permission?
217
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:52,920
Who gave you the permission to dig?!
218
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,600
The Archaeology department.
219
00:13:58,480 --> 00:13:59,760
We have the permission.
220
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,880
This land was ruled
by the Kadambas.
221
00:14:03,680 --> 00:14:06,720
Rama, his spectacles
look so cool man.
222
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:09,800
Not just this inscription.
223
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,080
We have permission
to survey all of them.
224
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,640
You shouldn't disturb us during work.
225
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:18,960
Master, he's talking nonsense!
226
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:22,000
- How about I give him four whacks?
- Hey. Stop it now.
227
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:26,000
Do you plan to take these
stones and keep it up your ass?
228
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:28,720
First, we'll keep it in our ass.
229
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,640
If it doesn't fit, we'll
plant it up yours!
230
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:33,040
Hey! You bastard!
231
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:37,080
How dare you raise hands
on a government officer?!
232
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:38,520
How dare you hit our officer?
233
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,040
If I wasn't for the ritual,
I would have thrashed you.
234
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:42,880
- Oh really?
- Oh definitely!
235
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:44,320
I'm going to knock
your teeth down!
236
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,080
- Come at me!
- Stop it Varada!
237
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,080
How dare you beat our
men in our own village?
238
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,560
What are you doing here?
Have you lost it?!
239
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:53,000
What's happening here?!
240
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:56,480
Mister! We are
from the government.
241
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:58,080
Why do we need permission?
242
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,840
Hey! Show them the work order
- Read it up!
243
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:06,560
The permit's appropriate, Master!
244
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:07,960
I can see that.
245
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:13,200
But.. Erm... Why did you
cut the plants and trees?!
246
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,080
Let's file a case for chopping trees.
247
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,040
Wow! Now they're from
the forest department.
248
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,800
We're working and a couple of
thorns and shrubs have been removed.
249
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,840
You're acting like we've uprooted
trees and need your permission.
250
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:26,880
Master, is he going to unearth those stones
to build a fort and rule the kingdom?
251
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:29,560
- Let them do their job.
- Hey! Enough!
252
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:33,000
They're artefacts of my
lineage and proof of their rule.
253
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:34,520
It should belong to us!
254
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:38,320
Oy! Enough fighting!
Stop this for now and head home.
255
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:40,320
- Keep quiet.
- He got it right.
256
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:43,720
Assaulting a government officer
will attract a strong police case.
257
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:45,000
Hope you know that!
258
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,200
Prison. You'll end up in prison.
259
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:50,680
Erm.. Listen.
260
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,640
- I'm letting you go because I'm kind.
- Oh wow.
261
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:59,600
Forget the inscriptions, even if you
find some bones, you have to inform me.
262
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:07,440
Phani, be it a dog's bone or a chicken's,
make sure you dump them all at his home.
263
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,120
How dare he hit me?!
264
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:10,600
[PHANI] Get to work now!
265
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,200
There's a case on you already.
We'll deal with them later.
266
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:14,640
Get the boys and come to the farm.
267
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:16,960
The villagers are a strange lot.
268
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:18,560
So, watch your backs, okay?
269
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,600
Mister, we're from the
central government!
270
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,160
Don't roam around in the night.
271
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:25,480
Maari tends to go out on rounds.
272
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,400
She doesn't give a damn if
you're a government man or not.
273
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:36,840
Master!
274
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:40,720
- Why do you have such old junk?
- Chowda, stop blabbering!
275
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,640
I recently found a mud
pot on the river bank.
276
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:47,120
They gave me Rs. 50 for it.
I bought two quarters of booze.
277
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,160
- Really?
- Of course.
278
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:52,000
Next time you find
something, bring it to me.
279
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:53,080
I'll give you Rs. 100.
280
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:13,960
...Rahasyam!
281
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:19,360
Lakshmi Rahasya Shaasanadol Ullekhanam...
282
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:42,720
- What's wrong in it?
- College is far from here.
283
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,480
- What has the girl studied?
- She's passed her SSLC.
284
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:47,440
The girl is very sweet.
285
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,200
I've seen her
since she was a kid.
286
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:52,880
Prayed to the Goddess and came.
287
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:59,320
The groom likes the bride.
Do ask her opinion once?
288
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,760
- Son, go on and ask.
- I'll ask.
289
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:07,080
What will it be?
290
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,080
Are you okay with the guy?
Think it through.
291
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:17,400
Okay then.
292
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:19,640
Look at how shy she got.
293
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:21,480
The girl also likes the guy.
294
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:25,640
The groom's in a government job.
295
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,280
So, he’s demanding
10 tolas worth of gold.
296
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,240
I've negotiated and
brought it down to 6 tolas.
297
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:35,760
Oh. Six will do.
298
00:18:36,120 --> 00:18:37,240
Right, Son?
299
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:39,600
It's lesser by 4, right?
300
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:42,880
- Sure.
- Also...
301
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,120
This isn't my demand.
302
00:18:45,360 --> 00:18:46,520
It's my father's!
303
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:50,040
All I want is a wedding
at a convention hall!
304
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:53,000
A convention hall shouldn't
be a problem. Right, my son?
305
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:56,400
- Brother?
- Yeah?
306
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:58,320
- What is it?
- Come here!
307
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:00,120
I'll be back in a minute.
308
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:02,560
Sure. Ask her.
309
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:04,240
What's wrong?
310
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:05,640
Did you not like the guy?
311
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:07,800
I like him.
312
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:10,360
But their demands are a lot.
313
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:11,840
You'll be in trouble.
314
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:13,840
No. Tell them I'm
not okay with that.
315
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:16,480
If you like him,
I'll take care of it.
316
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,640
- You don't worry about it.
- Brother, listen to me.
317
00:19:19,360 --> 00:19:20,560
- Relax.
- Brother!
318
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:29,680
What's wrong, Varada?
319
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:32,080
What are you so worried about?
320
00:19:33,120 --> 00:19:34,680
I've got no money in hand.
321
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:37,520
I'm worried how to make
Geetha's marriage happen.
322
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:38,680
Oh.
323
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,400
Don't worry man.
I am with you.
324
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:45,040
We'll figure it out.
325
00:19:45,360 --> 00:19:48,640
I’ll scrape together
₹50,000 somehow.
326
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:51,360
No, Daya.
327
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,680
Why not? Isn't Geetha my sister too?
328
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:56,080
Quit acting up.
329
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:58,520
That would be a lot of help man.
330
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:00,760
I'll figure out the
rest somehow.
331
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,520
The rest? How much
more do you need?
332
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,400
I think I'll need Rs.
2.5 - 3 lakh in total.
333
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:09,960
Oh. Is it?
334
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:12,280
- Varada?
- Yeah?
335
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:14,160
If nothing works out...
336
00:20:15,360 --> 00:20:17,240
You can pledge my
house documents and...
337
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,000
Hey! Have you lost it?
338
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:21,080
Think it's okay to pledge his house.
339
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,200
Master's still around. I'll ask.
340
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:25,240
He'll lend me money for sure.
341
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:29,880
Hey! Careful!
342
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,120
Okay. Let's finish
this and get to work.
343
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:38,040
The farm? Why do you need me?
344
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:41,480
I'll go and meet Punya, okay?
345
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:43,560
Don't get held up
romancing. Come soon.
346
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:49,800
Master?
347
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:51,240
Master?
348
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:54,440
Madam, isn't Master home?
349
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:01,560
[SHARMA SCREAMS]
350
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:03,720
Madam, what's wrong?
351
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:05,160
He's up there?
352
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:07,400
- Master?
- Oh God!
353
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:08,440
Master?
354
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:09,920
Master?
355
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:11,360
Oh no!
356
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:12,680
Master, what's wrong?
357
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:14,480
I heard the scream
and came looking!
358
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:16,720
Careful. Madam asked
me to come upstairs.
359
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,120
Did you apply oil all over
the body and climb the loft?
360
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:20,960
- Come on sit.
- This is for pain relief.
361
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:22,920
I'd applied it a little more
and my leg cramped!
362
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:24,160
Show me! Where exactly?
363
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,240
Right here? Let me take a look.
364
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,280
Oh. It's swollen already.
365
00:21:36,120 --> 00:21:37,320
My my!
366
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,400
I've never seen such a
spacious loft in my lifetime.
367
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:45,080
Master, what are these old
stones and statues doing here?
368
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,440
Nah! Doesn't suit this loft.
369
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:49,120
Those aren't just stones.
370
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:52,200
Inscriptions of my lineage.
371
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:57,200
I wished to collect them all
and make a museum in Sirsi.
372
00:21:58,120 --> 00:22:00,040
No wonder you got
so annoyed on that day.
373
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:02,320
It isn't that simple.
374
00:22:03,360 --> 00:22:05,040
My family built this village.
375
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:08,600
We have something of our own.
376
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:11,360
So, everybody trusts me.
377
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:14,120
Yes, Master.
378
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:16,280
I also have all my trust in you.
379
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:18,480
I'm here to talk about that.
380
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:21,440
A good marriage alliance
has come my sister's way.
381
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:23,400
I don't feel like letting it go.
382
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,440
There's no money for
the wedding, Master.
383
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,000
Then why are you
rushing the marriage?
384
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:33,160
Not like the girl's very old.
385
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,400
No, Master. I don't feel
like letting this one go.
386
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:38,440
My sister also likes the girl.
387
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:40,080
He's in a government job.
388
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:42,680
So, it doesn't make
sense to let this go.
389
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,080
My family asked if I was
okay with the alliance.
390
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:48,400
I trusted you and
said okay to it.
391
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:52,400
What do you want me to do now?
392
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:55,240
I need a loan of Rs. 2 lakh.
I'll work and pay you back.
393
00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:58,160
Go over there.
394
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:00,960
- Go by the maze.
- I'll get it.
395
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:14,120
There's nothing but an oil bottle.
396
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:16,440
Yes. Herbal oil.
397
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:18,800
The pain's a lot. Bring it.
398
00:23:20,120 --> 00:23:21,400
Bring it! Hurry up!
399
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:23,200
Okay.
400
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:34,880
Gentle!
401
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:36,760
Master?
402
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:39,440
They want to fix the
wedding for next month.
403
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:42,320
If you say no, I'll be in trouble.
404
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,880
The money tree seems
to have bloody dried up!
405
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:55,520
I actually want to lend you.
406
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:57,000
But what I do?
407
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,840
My ancestors have only
left behind inscriptions.
408
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:04,280
Also, do you know what is the one
common mistake we all make, Varada?
409
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:07,280
We desire beyond our means.
410
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:08,800
Need to stop doing that.
411
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:11,240
Things will be okay then.
412
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:15,000
I'll see you.
413
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:20,400
How about a cup of tea?
414
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:26,080
Somebody told me that tea
produces excess heat in the body.
415
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:29,840
I'm planning to quit.
416
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:41,640
But their demands are a lot.
417
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:43,120
You'll be in trouble.
418
00:24:43,120 --> 00:24:44,360
I don't want this.
419
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:46,360
If you like him,
I'll take care of it.
420
00:24:46,360 --> 00:24:48,200
You don't worry about it. Relax.
421
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:54,520
This story dates
back 300-years-ago!
422
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:58,280
Back then, there was no
one to break the arrogance
423
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:01,600
of the rich and no one to
hear the woes of the poor.
424
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,920
Thus, in the hills of
Malnad was born a man,
425
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:06,680
the poor man’s friend, Bedara Bomma.
426
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:13,240
He would steal from the
rich and give it to the poor.
427
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:17,440
To end their filthy wealth
and crush their oppression,
428
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:21,720
he fought and became
the friend of the poor.
429
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:28,240
It is believed that Sirsi Maarikambamma
descended because of him, children.
430
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:34,120
That is why the Bedara Vesha
dance is performed in his memory.
431
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:38,040
But why wouldn't the rich help
the poor during difficult times?
432
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:43,400
If all of the rich helped the poor,
the world wouldn't be in this state.
433
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:45,600
That is why revolutions took place!
434
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,640
IS THAT WHY BEDA STARTED ROBBING?
[IN UNISON]
435
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,840
Also, do you know what is the one
common mistake we all make, Varada?
436
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:27,680
We desire beyond our means.
437
00:27:01,120 --> 00:27:03,040
HEY! WHAT THE HELL!
438
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:04,760
HEY!
439
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:15,160
Did you dream of Parashurama?
440
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:32,840
'We'll get our daughter
married. Don't worry.'
441
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:34,920
'Take medicines before sleep'
442
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:41,960
Who's here at this hour?
443
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:44,480
Dammit!
444
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:50,920
Who is it?
445
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:53,960
OH NO! IT'S YOU!
446
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:56,440
- Just because I slapped you...
- Sir, please listen to me!
447
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:58,400
- Are you here to finish me?!
- Phani! Get here!
448
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:00,560
- I'm not here to hurt you!
- Phani! Get the gun!
449
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:02,240
Open the door! I need to talk to you!
450
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:04,200
- Dammit! I'm not here to hurt.
- Get the damn gun!
451
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:06,240
I needed to talk! Open the door!
452
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:08,600
I won't hurt you. I'm here to apologise.
453
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:10,280
- What?!
- Yes! To apologise!
454
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:11,640
Goat mutton!
455
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:16,400
My admiration for Master
made me lose control.
456
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:18,080
Please don't mind me.
457
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:24,680
Malnad people's heart
is beautiful as its nature.
458
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:26,640
Damn! I'm very happy now!
459
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:31,560
- Sir, I don't want it.
- Oye! Oye!
460
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:37,640
- I don't want.
- Take it! It's okay!
461
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:39,040
Just drink it!
462
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,040
With all the stones
you were excavating...
463
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:50,360
What do you plan
to do with them?
464
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:56,240
I will.. sincere... sincerely
hand it to the department.
465
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:00,600
Now...
466
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:03,040
If you find another
stone just like that...
467
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:05,720
- Will you be able to read it?
- What?!
468
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:08,480
As easy as drinking water.
469
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:10,240
Not just on paper.
470
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:15,240
I can fold and read stones too.
471
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:16,880
I have my doubts, Sir.
472
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:18,280
You don't think I can do it?!
473
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:22,600
Are you doubting the
people of Mandya?!
474
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:27,400
Halegannada, Nadugannada, Navya Kannada, Kadamba Kannada, Badami Kannada.
475
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:30,680
I've read every Kannada there is.
476
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:32,880
What do you think of me, huh?!
477
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:35,560
- A challenge?
- You think you can challenge me?
478
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:39,320
What do you have
for me?! Give it to me!
479
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:40,880
I've got my wife's letter too!
480
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:42,280
I'll read it along with it!
481
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:43,680
Make some space?
482
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,880
'Majaala Krityam..'
483
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:52,240
'Horata Madhya Gatanaada Raajan'
484
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:57,240
'Sampath Sakalaadi Maarikoteyol Adagisi Podaan'
485
00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:59,400
'Aa Rahasyam...'
486
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:03,920
'Lakshmi Rahasya Shaasanadol Ullekhan Gaidaan'
487
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:07,720
Sir, could you please explain what's
written here, so I can understand it?
488
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:10,520
- Please don't mind me, Sir.
- Well...
489
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:13,680
The last king of Kadamba...
490
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:15,080
In this...
491
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:19,160
Died. Coins
Valuables.
492
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:25,000
Buried under the Maarigudi (temple).
493
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:32,400
There's a Lakshmi Rahasya inscription (secret
of fortune) where it has the rest of the...
494
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:34,040
- Sir? Go on.
- Written...
495
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:38,800
Sir, if we find the
'Lakshmi Rahasya'...
496
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:42,240
- Does it mean we've found the treasure?
- Maybe.
497
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:44,360
Maybe not.
498
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:47,200
- But, Sir...
- Lakshmi Rahasya...
499
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:50,920
Can a king's treasure
be as big as a handbag?
500
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:55,080
Who is this dumbo?
501
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:57,280
Idiot!
502
00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:59,080
Hey! Not a handbag!
503
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:01,880
Elephant, Camels and Horses...
504
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:04,960
Pearls, gems,
diamonds and opaque.
505
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:08,200
Piles and piles of it.
506
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:12,480
Filled in bags! They come...
507
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:25,520
Lakshmi Rahasya!
