The moment you guys mentioned a government job, I knew.
You'd made plans to steal something.
This...
Belongs to me.
I'm not willing to share it with anybody.
Well, well, well!
We were the ones who discovered it.
We were the ones who dug and found it.
Hey, Kinsman!
Don't try teaching me history. Won't end well for you.
So, it was you who dug and found it.
Well, I'll pay you all a coin each as your wage.
Take it and don’t look back.
We're not your slaves to take wages.
- We also have our rights on this treasure. - You have what?!
Rights?!
Did you guys fight wars like my family to earn all of this?!
This happened only because of the 'Maarjaala Kritya' inscription.
Don't forget that!
- The what?! - 'Maarjaala Kritya' inscription!
Mister Kinsman! Give it a thought!
'Lakshmi Rahasya'
I was the one who found it.
This treasure damn well belongs to me!
Argh! Hey Varada!
Why are these two fighting over it?
They believe all of the treasure belongs to them?!
- Hey! The inscription... - Hey! Shut it!
Let me go!
The inscription was found only because my bicycle fell in the lake.
By that logic, I get the biggest share!
Not just the biggest!
I am supposed to get all of it!
[VARADA] All of it?! Watch your mouth man!
Hey Varada!
Why are your men mouthing rubbish?!
Everyone, don't forget this!
I'll send you all to prison!
[SHIVARAM] Let's not do that, please.
- I'll talk to him. Hey! - Got it. I don't want it.
Definitely no prison.
Blabbers nonsense!
Think this through!
Or, I'll hand it all over to the department.
What?!
- Department? - Yes!
Before your department could get to this village...
My family had established its legacy.
Everybody has to listen to me.
That's it! Don't forget that!
Don't try to threaten us now.
- We've worked hard to find this. - Yes. We have.
Just because you say it, this doesn't become your father's property.
Give them an inch, and they’ll take a mile.
You bastard!
Hey! Stop it - Master, let it go!
I will.. I will kill you all!
God! Please don't, Master!
Shut up and stay away!
- I'll shoot you! - You'll shoot?! Go on then!
Fire the damn bullet! Kill us!
I know your gun well enough!
Throw it!
Don't forget that we're strong enough too!
- We need to stay united now! - Yes!
Fight like dogs and none of us will get anything!
Varada, you take a call about this.
I don't trust anybody here.
Whatever you tell, we'll do.
- Right? - Yes.
Master! Sir!
For this treasure to be found, each and
everyone present here, have been responsible.
Technically, this treasure doesn't belong to any of us.
If we stay calm and split this evenly, everyone gets a share.
Good, Varada.
Kinsman, come closer.
You belong to the family.
I'm a government officer.
Neither of us can carry it.
Agree for an equal share now.
We'll figure it out later.
Just go with it!
- Okay. - Tell them.
Come closer everyone.
- Tell them. - Equal share.
[EVERYBODY EXCLAIMS HAPPILY]
This works! Shall we lift this?
Pick this up everyone!
[OVERLAPPING CHATTER]
Goddess! Maari!
Walk carefully guys.
Keep walking.
Walk faster.
- Hey! - What's wrong?
- Felt like someone passed by. - You and your delusions!
- Our lives will change from tomorrow. - True.
- Careful guys! - Something feels off!
Is somebody around?
- Anklets? - Yes, Varada.
I hear anklets too.
- Gosh! - Oh no!
HEY!
What's wrong? Why did you stop?
Sounds like someone's running wearing anklets.
Again.
Protect me, Maaramma.
Goddess! Oh!
What's running over there?! Good Lord!
Pick it up! Let's go!
Hurry up! Let's go!
Let's get back home!
- Hey! Why are you stopping?! - Varada! What's wrong?!
What happened?
- What happened? - Lift it now!
- We're not able to lift it! - Help them!
Like somebody's standing on my chest!
I had told you all before. Maari's powers are strong in here.
This is Maari's doing.
We.. We're done for.
This is definitely the Maari's doing.
- Maari's come with the treasure. - Oh God!
What do we do, Master?
This treasure won’t come to us that easily.
We have to follow a few customs.
Customs? My foot!
Kinsman, get to the point!
Rituals to the treasure.
We must pay reverence to Maari. Only then can we take it.
What do we sacrifice?
A goat.
A buffalo.
Anything will do.
Goat? Buffalo?
Where do we find one at this hour?
The sun’s about to rise.
If it’s morning, I’ll arrange for it.
HEY! LISTEN!
Talk about how we're taking it from here.
We can sacrifice a goat or a chicken tomorrow.
- Pick it up! - Hey!
Officer, we can't take the treasure to the village.
If we take the treasure to the village, not just, our families will also be in danger.
What sort of a kinsman are you?!
Why are you constantly scaring me?!
How about we do this?
Let’s hide the treasure outside the village.
We’ll perform the rituals in the morning and take it.
Where do we hide the treasure?
If we leave the treasure right where it is and walk
away without looking back, we’ll make it out alive.
Listen up...
We're in the backyard of the priest.
Right here.
We'll hide it here. Right guys?
Sure. Okay.
- Siddhi, make preparations. - Get it guys.
- Get the shovel! - Pass me the pickaxe.
Keep a stone for identification.
Let us all sleep together.
- Where? - In my farm house.
Thank God! Master, it's almost morning.
[MEN SNORING]
Can't figure out if I'm dreaming or if this is real.
Neither can I.
Varada, the treasure's made me so happy, I can't sleep.
Shush! Sleep quietly now.
Gosh!
Hey! What is it?
Shush. Sleep.
What are you discussing secretly?
Please include me in your plans.
Don't leave me behind, please.
Because I need to fix my roof with tiles.
Okay. Go to sleep now.
[MASTER SHARMA CHANTING MANTRAS]
Hurry up!
Hold it tight or it'll run!
Move a little.
- Hey! - Master!
Hurry! Two more strikes and I'll reach the treasure.
Last of the chants. I'm almost done.
Siddhi, let him know as soon as you find the treasure.
Please break the pumpkin as soon as he tells you.
Varada, you have to sever the head as soon as I say, "Hail Maaramma".
- No looking back! - Hold it tight!
Get ready everyone!
[MASTER CONTINUES CHANTING]
What's taking him so long?
Sir! The treasure!
It's not here!
What are you saying?
Dammit! Look properly!
- I can't find it! Where else do I look? - Look thoroughly! Damn!
- I looked! It's not here! - All of us marked this point, right?!
Where did it go? This is definitely Maari's doing.
Definitely Goddess Maari's doing. Everybody run!
- Shut up now! - How can I, Master?
It's gone.
The treasure's now in the abyss.
Quiet! Stop shouting!
I believe this is your doing.
Which one of you bastards did it?!
Speak up for your own good!
- Or else, I will... - Whoa!
You're all from the same village.
Just because I'm an outsider...
Are you all putting up an act?
Beware!
I'll get you all jailed! Don't think of me as a fool!
I'm already losing it. Don't make it worse!
This won't end well.
Weren't we all sleeping together in the same room?
- How can it be one of us?! - Oh God!
Someone's coming! Everyone hide!
Hey! Douse the fire! Hurry!
Douse it now!
Stay low, Master!
My my!
Phew!
So who did...
We'll discuss it later! Keep quiet now.
If we stay here, we'll definitely get caught.
What do we do?
- Let's go! - Hurry everyone!
[OVERLAPPING CHATTER]
You guys are a menace!
Lord Muneshwara, you continue giving money to the rich!
- I'm a middle-class... - You were next to me!
We were six in total. None of us left the room!
Think this through!
We were sleeping together.
Then who stole it?
Has to be one of us, right?
I told you again and again, we’ll take it home.
Close enough to taste, but never got a bite.
This is like kneading the Mudde, but in a flowing river.
Enough, officer!
All you speak is of Mudde and Saaru.
I can stop breathing.
- Can't let go of Mudde. - Varada!
What's the point of smoking in silence?
- Speak up! - What do I say now?!
My head's going crazy with thoughts.
Thoughts I've never head in over two decades.
[NANJAYYA] When did they steal this?
Who do I trust and who do I not? No clue.
Money’s powerful.
It can make people do anything.
Varada?
Quit making random statements.
Hey, nothing random about what I'm saying!
Let me get to the point.
While all of us were sleeping...
You woke up and left at 8 A.M.
You left without telling anyone and didn't return for an hour.
Tell me. Where were you?
Are you doubting me, Varada?
Oh God!
I've always told you even if I breathed funny.
You're right man.
Money...
It can make people talk anything.
Enough with the drama.
- Did you or did you not go out? - Yeah!
- Daya, tell us the truth. - Yes! I went out!
Well, you got us all to relax and have a soothing sleep.
While we were doing that, you managed to steal the treasure, didn't you?
Man, you really are shrewd. You are.
Hey! If you tell me everything, why did you hide this?
Go on. Tell me.
Man, you really cheated us.
And you were with us. Disgusting!
If I lose it now...
Tell us!
- Hey! Stop it! - Enough!
Tell us where the treasure is and fight!
We could have lost our lives, but we found the treasure.
And this guy has the audacity to steal it all for himself?!
Hey!
How can I carry that massive treasure by myself?!
Got no brains?!
Think about it, Varada.
I went to meet my girl.
Hey!
I'm telling the truth.
And I swear on my mother!
I trusted you and got into this.
But you never trusted me, did you?
Great respect for our friendship.
- Okay. Listen to me. - It can't get worse than this!
I don't want anything. I'm going.
- Hey Daya! Stop! - Enough now!
If you find the treasure, you can keep my damn share too!
[OVERLAPPING CHATTER]
What's happening, Master?
Daya! Come here!
Hey!
Just come here!
I need to talk to you man!
I've got the good fate lines on both hands.
We should have found the treasure by now.
Drat!
We missed it by the whiskers!
Oh no.
Sir, we got so close yet got nowhere.
My sister's wedding. House expenses.
I have no job either.
I feel numb when I think of what lies ahead.
Ay! We've got no other option!
The treasure... We have to find it.
We have to find it.
- We can't let it go. - But where do we look?
Looks like the Lakshmi Rahasya.
Will remain a secret.
We managed to unearth the treasure from the Earth's womb.
You think we can't find that idiotic thief?
Where will that son of a tramp go?
He will be caught!
We shall find him.
- We will find him. - Sir...
I have doubts on the Master.
- Come closer. - Okay?
While we carried the treasure, who was it that said no one
should stay back and that we should all go to his farmhouse?
It was the Master.
When we were searching for the treasure with the detector,
who hid and waited for us to get there?
The Master.
When I was fighting Daya...
Try and recall. The master was silent.
Hey! No!
That Siddhi-Diddy?
- Why? - It was him.
He was the one who went to get the goat.
He is like the coiled black pepper.
Get it out of him!
I can't believe the officer.
Why would Siddhi do that? No way!
We'll find out.
Well well. Looks like the work's going great!
I had to come all the way to your home to find you.
We would've joined you if you'd asked.
Give me the shovel. Start digging.
Hey! Don't do that!
- You can't do that all alone. - I'm almost done covering it.
What are you doing?
Let go! I'll cover it.
- You go. I'll do it. - Man you seem a little anxious.
Got some gold in there?
Did you steal the treasure, huh?
Oh!
So this is what you wanted to ask me about.
If I knew it before, I wouldn't have closed this pit.
Care to share the treasure?
Yeah? What say?
Oh no.
Here's your treasure. Your gold!
Take it and go home now!
- Take your shares. - You can close it.
But first take it.
Varada, stop suspecting me for no reason.
- I'm not Daya to take it lying down. - Listen!
I didn't doubt you. It was Nanjayya.
- Ask him. - Yes.
You went to get the goat. Daya went to meet the girl.
So, I asked. Was that so wrong?
Varada, it's true I went to the village to get the goat.
But if you guys don't trust me, I can swear on the Goddess.
I did not steal the treasure.
If you still don't trust me, I'm willing to tell the police too.
- No need for the police. - It was my mistake. Stop it.
- Let it go! - What mistake?
It's my mistake for trusting you despite all this.
- I need to punish myself! - Fine! Go!
One guy already left. You also leave.
Morons! Get lost!
Dammit!
Varada, are you all here? Master asked for you.
To the priest's house. Hurry up!
Maybe the treasure was found.
Seems like it. Why else is he in a hurry?
Hurry up.
Did you steal the goat? You can tell me.
I won't tell anyone.
Did you sell it at Sirsipete?
No. I didn't steal it.
What happened here?
What's wrong, Priest?
Oh no, Master!
It’s a bad omen if the goat meant for the Goddess’s sacrifice gets stolen.
You know what happened the last time the sacrificial goat went missing.
Well, let's find another goat. Why worry now?
That won't work.
We have to sacrifice the goat that was picked first.
Or else, Goddess will become furious.
If Maari gets furious, the village is in danger.
Okay. You don't lose your cool.
We'll find the same goat, okay?
Am I right, Vishwanath Raayare?
Tell your people to keep an eye out.
Let's go now, guys.
Daya? Oy Daya.
What are you doing here?
You've got a government job, but got no responsibility.
Come. Have your dinner and sleep.
Huh?
- Appa? - That's the Maari's cry.
Come in.
[RAMANNA SINGS]
Daya?
Hey Daya!
Man's got a government job, but got no responsibility.
Chowdaiah!
- Oh Chowdaiah! - Tell me, Ramanna.
- Let's go. - I'm in the backyard.
[RAMANNA CONTINUES SINGING]
I want these jobs done today.
Cut these leaves and put them in the farm.
We'll do it.
If my boy was in senses, I wouldn't have to struggle like this.
What can I do?
I can't even focus on the arecanut business.
If you can arrange the booze, the work will be done, Ramanna.
Really?
Ramanna?
Huh?
[RAMANNA GASPS]
