Under the presence of the public, hang him. [Music] Om [Music] [Cheering] [Cheering] Ooh [Groaning] [Music] [Music] [Cheering] [Music] No [Music] [Music] It would have been good if I could have accompanied my friend even in death. Narasimha Reddy, who stands on the verge of victory, is beyond death. Death cannot defeat him. [Music] The Court of Fadari, the court, convicts the prisoner Majari Narasimha Reddy on the counts of rebellion, murder, and robbery, and hence orders him to hang by the neck until death. Lift your head. [Music] Wipe your tears and hold your chest high, look with pride, freedom is before me and you. [Music] In this country, mothers sing heroic tales to their children. [Music] The wars fought in this country have become epics. The blood shed in this country has become history. We are those who taught the world salvation. Now we will teach everyone liberation. [Music] We taught to live fearlessly. Now we will teach to die freely. [Music] We will rest only after expelling these Englishmen from the sacred land of India, who steal milk from our mothers' breasts and behead them. Whoever is born on this earth should have only one ultimate goal. Freedom, freedom, freedom. [Music] Whoever is martyred in war becomes the war itself. From today, I too am war. [Music] Whoever sacrifices for the nation becomes the nation itself. From today, I am the nation. [Music] Today, when I am crucified. Celebrate it. Make this day a great festival. This is not my death, friends, it is a birth. Mahakal, today is the birth of India's freedom. [Screaming] Victory to Mother India! Victory to Mother India! Victory to Mother India! [Cheering] Victory to Mother India! Victory to Mother India! [Music] Victory to India! [Music] Victory to India! [Music] Victory! [Music] [Music] Victory! [Music] Jay Vishal Praksam [Music] Dayalam Sharma Param [Music] [Music] [Music] The elder daughter gave birth to two sons, and the younger one to one, who at the mere age of 6 showed that he was no ordinary child. In those days, there was a severe famine in the border region. A yagna had to be performed for rain. A descendant of Majari had to light a lamp on Jagannath mountain for the yagna. Narasimha Reddy was chosen for this ritual. Every Kartik Purnima, the lamp lighting was done by Narasimha Reddy's hands. People from hundreds of surrounding villages believed that this lamp was a sign of a bright future. Narasimha [Music] Reddy was adopted by his maternal grandfather because he had no heir to the Notam fort. Sa [Music] Grandfather, tell me, do you know why those people were killed? It is the British rule, son, that questions those who go against it. They are killed. You are a Palegar, aren't you? You can't do anything. We are Palegars in name only. These Englishmen have invaded our country. They have snatched our rights and started looting our people by frightening them with their guns. To seize our power, they started throwing money at us, a handful of which we became accustomed to, and since then we have become living corpses. It is better to die as rebels than to live like corpses. Om Shri Guru Namah Hari Om. Have you heard that you have traveled all over the country? Yes. Are the white people killing our people like this all over the country? Yes, they are killing. So, shouldn't we kill them too? Narasimha. So, bless me. Son, I will kill them. How many Englishmen will you kill alone? I can finish off 10. Their army is in thousands. [Music] They will kill you. So, I will die. Killing and dying is not important. [Clears throat] Victory is important. To win, you have to fight. To fight, the support of your people is essential. You will get their support only when you can ignite the same fire within them that is within your heart. [Music] Your weapon is not this. Your weapon is this. [Music] You have to conquer yourself first. [Music] First of all, the British law should be implemented in East India. Starting from small areas, it should be spread across India over time. The existing tax should be increased by 300%. And thus, the British Empire captured India. Those big officers whose sole purpose was to loot India were seated in high positions and sent to our country. Cochrane, the representative of the army of devils, started moving towards South India, which is called the backbone of the Indian subcontinent. But what did he know about the heroic land of Renadu? Where did he know that the sun of Renadu had risen, tearing through the chest of darkness? The land of Renadu is divided into 61 small states. The feudatories of these states are called Palegars. The British have snatched both their power and unity from these Palegars. But the Palegar of Avuko state, Avuko Raju, the Palegar of Myudupur, Veera Reddy, and the Papakhan of Kurnool are among those 61 Palegars who are still ruling independently. Narasimha Reddy organized a festival to unite them all. [Music] Swami, my son Narasimha is holding this festival against the wishes of the Englishmen. Will he succeed? Narasimha Reddy is no ordinary man. He is living on Earth with a purpose. With a sword in one hand [Music] and the Vedas in the other, he has been nurtured. [Music] No one can stop him now. Manupalyat [Music] Pratishthita hi mein bhava [Music] Sho mein bhava [Music] [Music] It's time for your dance. Hurry up. [Music] Guru, we [Music] [Singing] Oh God! [Crying] What happened, daughter? Swami Ji, is there someone inside? Well, it is the custom to worship Sangameshwara Swami, who lives in the lake, before the festival. Yes, but there is a great soul who knows the art of holding his breath in water for so long. Majari Narasimha Reddy. Yes. [Music] [Music] [Music] Today, after many years, God is being adorned again with the clothes you brought. Baba Khan, this is the glory of our brother Narasimha Reddy. This festival, which was stopped by the Englishmen, has started again. Oh Allah, may no evil eye fall on this celebration. Let everyone pray together. I will not let this happen. What is the order? Preparations for this fair have been made on a war footing. Where are people coming from to see the fair? What do you mean by "I will not let this happen"? Who is organizing this fair? Narasimha Reddy. Isn't our contribution to this fair also there? But the name will be Narasimha Reddy's. Well, who will win the competition? Narasimha Reddy. And who else? And if we win, even then everyone will chant Narasimha Reddy's name, saying that he conducted such a fair competition. That is, whoever wins, the cheers will be for him. Is this right, Basi Reddy? Then he won't win. Look at our man there. He will make the bulls go mad with that intoxicating [Music] drug. [Music] Narasimha Reddy. Or even if he is Lord Narasimha himself, no one can conduct this competition. Tell me, Reddy, add more medicine. This competition, shouldn't it be a festival itself? Lakshmi, listen, who are you looking for? [Music] [Music] Sai Ram [Music] Sai Ram Zindabad! [Music] Hey brother, why are you running? No one is saved. I saw our man mixing this medicine, so the truth came out. Hey, what happened has happened. Nothing untoward happened, right? Forget it, everything is fine. Bapu Raju is also a Palegar. Come on, leave it. Now everyone go. This is their family enmity. Everyone knows. The show is over. Wait. [Music] The lone Palegar is not here. In total, we are 61 Palegars. The entire public is also present here. This festival belongs to everyone. Basi Reddy, whether king or subject, justice is equal for all. [Music] Avu Ko Raju will have to apologize. Why is everyone silent? Father is talking about justice. They should apologize. Yes, yes, they should apologize. They should apologize. How will one Palegar apologize? [Music] I will cut off my head, but I will not apologize. Avu Ko Raju, Papa Khan. It is true that Avu Ko Raju has committed a crime. But these are the Palegars of 70 villages. Everyone knows that they hate me, and this hatred is the cause of this crime. But they love their subjects and have many favors upon them, so for their sake [Music] we forgive them. [Music] Narasimha Reddy, you see goodness in me, I don't like this. This is not my envy, it is my self-respect, Narasimha Reddy. My day will also come, Narasimha Reddy. On that day, you will apologize to me with your head bowed, and I will forgive you with my head held high. [Music] [Music] There is valor in this soil. This valor is in you and in me. [Music] Spend this valor not on enmity, but on your country. After that, I [Music] can bow my head before you and, when the time comes, even lay down my head for you. [Music] Why? Narasimha Reddy will rebel against the Englishmen. Despite our prohibition, he is holding this festival. We will not tolerate this anymore. I have written a letter to Badra. Now they will see him. That's why I sent the news there. The real festival will start now. Da [Praise] [Praise] [Music] Amazing! [Music] We know, Lakshmi Ji, for the welfare of the people, can't you present your art in a new style? This Lakshmi dances only for the gods. She sings only for them. Not for ordinary humans. Aren't gods also for humans? To awaken people, change your art a little. Then see how much [Music] radiance it will bring. [Music] [Music] What happened? Still thinking about him? I don't know, I'm afraid I might get lost in his words. [Music] Hey! [Music] [Music] [Music] Ah! [Screaming] Let's quickly remove it. Understand. Someone deliberately set this fire. Who is it? Who did this? I set the fire. I set it. You burned down the house in which you used to light lamps. So what else could I do? We used to live like kings. Englishmen came and impoverished this land. We have been suffering from drought for 2 years. Somehow, we managed to grow a half-baked crop. Even that the Englishmen took away as rent. Until now, I somehow managed to feed the children. But now my son has resorted to stealing. [Music] What could be a greater shame than this? I couldn't bear to see the hands that were raised to give, now stealing. I thought a death with honor is better than a life of disgrace. What happened, son? Were you hungry? Mother used to feed us and remain hungry herself. I saw food in the neighbor's house, so I brought it for mother. Is this a sin? [Music] [Music] Big brother, bring the grain from the warehouses of Bilavada and Notam fort in bullock carts. From today, no one will sleep hungry on the land of Renadu. Distribute it among everyone. As you say. Stealing is a sin, son. Stealing means touching something that is not ours is stealing. And if it is ours, then it is our right. We should not let it go. [Music] Reddy Ji, you summoned me. I have sent the pension for this month. [Music] Raghava Chari, as long as the crops were good, were these people paying you rent on time? Absolutely, they were. They were, government. So, go and tell your masters that rent will not be collected in case of drought. What did you say? I said that rent will not be collected next year either. I don't understand. If they don't agree, we will plow our fields with their bones and pay double the rent. [Music] Let the calamity come, I am waiting for that day. [Music] Understood. As long as there is drought, there is no need to pay rent to the Englishmen. Send these carts back to Narasimha Reddy. Take the grain from our warehouse and distribute it among the public. I cannot persuade my people to pay rent to the Englishmen like Narasimha Reddy. I cannot either. I cannot either. I cannot either. Veera Reddy, one Palegar should not interfere in the territory of another Palegar. Come on, father, we will decide our own jagir. We will stay with Narasimha Reddy. Come on. [Music] [Music] The tax that my Madras Presidency pays in one year can sustain the entire London for 25 years. Why is the tax from Datt Mandalam so low? It has always been difficult to collect tax from there, sir. It is the glory of Renadu, sir. They say even a rabbit born there fights a cheetah. [Groaning] [Screaming] Now the thing is that the Nizam, harassed by the Palegars and the public there, has handed over that land [Music] to you. That's why it's called Datt Mandalam. Drought often occurs there. But those people don't beg anyone. They will pay tax, but if needed, kill them all and collect the tax. They will kill us too. [Music] Thomas Munro's Ryotwari Act has taken away all their powers, but people are devoted to their Palegars. The truth is [Music] sir, our people also tremble with fear of them. Tell me in one sentence. Uyyada Narasimha. He is the strength of all of them, sir. Have you ever seen him? I haven't seen him, but I've heard stories about him. At the age of 10, he killed a man-eating cheetah and carried it on his shoulder. You Indians are all bloody barbarians, Malayar. You believe in hearsay. That area needs not a collector, but a hunter. [Screaming] The white man is the king, and his affection is black. The Victoria ship has been waiting for six months for this Banaras sale. We don't have the color, sir. We will give you the color. This is not a wedding [Music] but a festival. A festival of love between Hindus and Muslims. [Music] [Music] [Music] If I had known you were coming, I would never have come here, and I came here only because you were coming, so that I could tell you what's on my mind. [Music] My parents passed away in childhood. Everyone dear to me has gone away from me. Whomever I love, I lose. That's why I took refuge in God and started worshipping them with my art. I have seen you. You are a very great person. Don't come near me. Otherwise, I will lose you too. [Music] Even if you go far away from me, my love will remain with you. [Music] Tell me, just as this Bhagyanagar was built in the name of Bhagmati, shall I build a new city in your name, Veer Venkata Mahalakshmi? Tell me, Lakshmi, tell me. Just add Narasimha to the name Lakshmi. [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] Swami sends news to Notam fort. Narasimha Reddy is not there either. And today is Kartik Purnima. He has to light the lamp on the mound. Will he remember? He has been lighting the lamp every Kartik Purnima. He will light it today too. [Music] [Music] [Music] It is time to tell Narasimha Reddy the truth. Prepare for the yagna tomorrow. Oh Banna, what is all this happening? A yagna is going to take place. Guruji has also come. Greetings, Gurudev. There is a great famine in the border region. A yagna has to be performed for rain. Come, as you command. Get ready, Narasimha Ji. Mother, wear these clothes. Okay, mother. Say it, you say it. No, no, you say it. I'll say it. Unmarried men should not perform yagna, right? Then how can I? Your marriage took place in childhood. It happened with Siddha Maa. Narasimha [Music] Just as it was dark [Music] in your childhood, it was dark. According to astrology, only you could perform this yagna. The circumstances were such that we had to get you married to Siddha Maa for the yagna. [Music] We did all this for the sake of the yagna. Then we found out that there is a defect in your horoscope. You and your wife cannot see each other for 24 years. Otherwise, your life would be in danger. So, we had to separate you both. As soon as the time for the yagna came again, your defect ended. Your marriage with Siddha Maa is a divine decree. Go forward. Go and perform the yagna with Siddha Maa to wipe away the tears of the people. Go. [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] Ah! [Music] [Music] [Music] Ah! [Music] [Music] [Music] Hey! [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] Ah! [Music] Om, Lakshmi, why are you sentencing yourself to death? The crime was committed by me, so punish me. I don't have the strength to bear all this. Why does this happen to me? Our parents are chosen by God. [Music] I could choose my own husband. But even that right has been snatched from me. At least let my death be my own. Wait. [Music] God does not give talent to everyone, and your art can create new awakening in people. [Music] This art is neither for you nor for that God. It is to inspire new inspiration in people. You have no right to give your life. When we go to God after dying, we should be worthy of meeting his eyes. We should be able to say with pride that we lived to the fullest before dying. We lived till our last breath. Every life should have a purpose, rather every death should be a auspicious beginning of a new life. The day you achieve the goal of your life, the purpose of your death too. [Music] [Music] [Music] I have something to tell you. You can say it. This love did not happen by your will, did it? It's childhood love. Where does the question of will or unwillingness arise? [Music] You are right, but I have only desired you since childhood. [Music] You knew that we were married, didn't you? I knew it since childhood. From childhood till today, you are my world. For you, I have fought with so many people, even with my mother. Everyone used to say that if I saw you, it would be a curse. That's why I could never meet you. You won't believe it. As soon as I woke up, I used to ask about you first. I used to be very happy listening to your heroic stories. Every day, I used to go to the same temple you went to. Just as you used to worship, I used to worship too. That day, at the festival, as soon as I saw you coming, I went towards the lake. I was afraid that if I saw you in the water, it would be a curse. [Music] Only I know how I spent these 24 years. I was just waiting for the moment when I could see you to my heart's content. I couldn't even see you during the yagna. For fear that I might cry seeing you now. There, if you had seen, what would you have said? [Music] You have come, so now see. [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] Will you give me a promise? I have desired only you my whole life. I will never stop you. Live however you want. But give me a promise that you will never leave me. [Music] [Music] Welcome to Koyalkundla, sir. Welcome. [Music] [Music] This area seems very peaceful. [Music] Listen, Sumaiya, there is good news for you. Now you don't need to pay rent on crops. You just have to pay on land. The point didn't sink in. From now on, whether crops are produced or not, you have to pay rent for as much land as you have. Dear sir, we are already unable to pay rent on crops. In such a situation, if there is no yield, where will we pay rent? Then, according to the law, these lands are ours. Give these laborers what is due to them for their hard work, Ragvachari. Sir, we laborers, sir. This land is our mother. How can we live without a mother, sir? Your land extends up to here. It extends up to that hill, sir. A total of five villages. You can do anything to save your land. We can give our lives, sir. [Music] Let's play again. Run as far as you can from here. Whatever land you run on will be yours. [Music] But our horse will also run with you. If it takes even one step ahead of you, then the land from there will be ours. But if you get ahead of our horse, then the land from there will be yours. Do you accept the condition? [Music] [Music] One! [Music] Look, he has fallen. It's all over. The buffalo has gone into the water. Sir, it seems our horse will not stop before Mysore. Don't you.
[Music] [Singing sound] [Music] [Music] [Music] Wake up, morning, take it easy, Reddy ji, you said not to put it on, but Jackson sir says you are not a Palegar at all, meaning [Music] Nosam's adoption of you is illegal according to the new Dalhousie law, so you are not the legal heir to this land. Who are you to question my inheritance? When your grandfather went to England, were you born from him or your father? You are my brother, son, son-in-law. Hey laborer, you are a laborer like them. If you don't pay rent, you will definitely be punished. And why should we pay you rent? Yes, clouds don't ask for rent, soil doesn't ask for rent, crops don't ask for rent, so who are you to ask for rent? [Groaning sound] [Music] From land to crops, everything is ours, our sweat, our fields, our seeds, our water, this earth is ours, its grain is ours. Then why did we bring you to fight? [Music] We are children of this earth. We have a right to this soil. Then why should we pay you rent? [Music] Brother, who plowed this land, government? We did. [Music] So whose right is it on its produce? Government, please wait, look at the crowd, look all around, this is not the right time, let's go, please come. [Laughter] Bow your head, now go and remember, never make the mistake of raising your head. Raise your head only in London, otherwise you will regret it. If you set foot here again, I will cut off your head. Go, government, what did the horse do? Narasimha Reddy has filled his heart with fear. Whenever we sit on it, it reminds us of that fear. [Screaming sound] Government, call a battalion from Madras to kill this Narasimha Reddy. Madras's strength is from us. We don't have to kill Narasimha Reddy. We have to kill the rebellion rising in the heads of those slaves. We will show them what fear is. Then we will see who has the strength. Leave his area. Collect tax from the rest of the entire Datta Mandalam. [Music] The screams of all the dying people should reach his village. Spread so much terror that his courage breaks. Papa, hey! [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] I heard you refused to pay rent. [Music] [Music] Not even a fistful of your looted wealth should go from our hands. What about the Datta Mandalam tax? Everything is ready, sir. Except for one area. Greetings, master. Speak, master. Tomorrow, Jangam Malai ji is going to perform a large-scale land consecration. Why not also complete the weddings of those whose weddings were stopped due to drought? Certainly, give this auspicious invitation to my elder brother. As you wish. Jangam Malai. Yes, sir, I will go to Jagannath temple for my worship tomorrow. Yes, you can start your land consecration at the same time. As you command, sir. Oh Bananna, sir, give all the pension we received this time from Nosam fort as wedding gifts to these couples. Yes, sir, pension. Oh, just look, you came to take pension. Did you get your pension? Did you see? [Laughter] We told Narasimha Reddy that we don't consider him a Palegar because he was adopted. This dog didn't understand that he won't get pension. Shave his entire head and don't let him be seen here again. [Music] Hey, hey, hey, first we will offer to God, only then can we eat. I am hungry, mother. Offer the first harvest of your crop to Mother Goddess. Mahamamm Mam Mrityam Jay [Screaming sound] [Screaming sound] It seems the harvest is good this time. Go to sleep, put all the grain in the cart. Hurry up. Sir, sir, after 2 years, such a good yield. We will pay the rent little by little. What? What, what do you remember? You said this crop is ours. This earth is also ours. Where did you get so much courage, you fools? Even if we take the produce of 66 villages, it will be one year's rent. Sir, if you take all the grain, what will we eat? Okay. Explain our British rule to them, Raghav, poor thing. Yes, sir, listen carefully everyone. The British government has passed a new law. From today onwards, whoever gets married in the village, his bride will first sleep with the white men. This is for your own benefit. This will make your black race white. [Music] First of all, we will sleep with these 10 brides. Why are you scared? We don't want all of them at once. One every night is enough. You all villagers decide when to send whom. [Music] And take your crops back. Will you give crops or girls? [Music] Why are you crying? The government has said that the price of girls will be paid with crops. Give girls, take crops. Sir, we will still endure hunger. We cannot endure insult, sir. Take the grain, sir. Take all our grain. Take it. After all, for the sake of a woman's honor, you sacrificed the crops of 66 villages. You bloody barbarous soldiers move. [Music] [Music] What are you doing, son? Just brother, just brother, put it back, forgive me, sir, he is small, again stealing. I didn't steal, mother, this is ours, these people are stealing it. Don't say that, son, put it back. I won't. [Music] Let me go, let me go, back, son. [Music] It back, let go, give it back, son. [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Singing sound] [Music] [Music] No. [Music] [Music] I gave you time until 6:00 PM tomorrow. Let him come, we will stay in Koyalkala. Tell Mosq to fall at our feet and apologize, and we will leave him alive as our slave, otherwise we will burn him here in front of you. [Music] Oh Bananna, sir, have it announced in every village, every street, every house of this Datta Mandalam that before tomorrow evening, I will enter his house, cut off his head, and every child of Renadu will see it with their own eyes. The burnt fists of this innocent are witness. And these farmers hanging on the gallows are witness. The tears in the eyes of these brides are witness. This Machari Narasimha Reddy will give him the death penalty. People have come to watch our death spectacle. [Music] Jackson is immortal, two from [Music] [Music] Ram [Music] [Groaning sound] [Screaming sound] [Music] No, three from [Music] [Music] [Music] What's up? [Music] [Music] Ho [Music] Ah, ah [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] Construction form, pervasive [Music] [Music] World [Music] Sir, the money looted from Datta Mandalam is not in the treasury. Only ₹805, 10 annas, and four paise have been received. Everything is going to Madras. Let it go, sir. We are free from that Jackson. That's enough. It's not enough. [Music] His death alone is not enough. We want our wealth back too. That is our money. Our pride. Not even a blade of grass should leave our land. Soldiers on the alert. [Music] [Music] [Music] What happened? God Narasimha has incarnated, sir. [Music] The story that seemed fabricated to you has now become true. Once there was a demon named Hiranyakashipu who considered himself immortal. Immortal. [Music] To kill him, Lord Narasimha appeared by tearing open a pillar. [Music] His death did not occur in the house or outside, not during the day or night. [Music] Not on the earth or in the sky. He was destroyed. That incarnation ended with destruction. This incarnation has begun with destruction, sir. Oh, shit. The consequence of this incarnation, which has challenged a great empire, will be written in history. Soldiers for the Queen, Crown, and Country. Pervasive Brahman, form of truth, inherent, without attributes, sky, sky, sky, Lord Narasimha's incarnation. No level him. He looted the entire treasury of the British Empire. He is not a god, he is a dacoit. I want to see this Narasimha Reddy. Get his portrait made by a painter who has seen him. [Music] Before this letter reaches London, I want to see him dead. Sir, 57th Regiment, 300 soldiers ready. Get ready everyone. Tear Narasimha Reddy into four pieces. Throw three pieces in the villages of Datta Mandalam and bring the fourth, his head, to me. Soldiers advance. [Music] I see war in the future, and I see a free India in the future. All wars on this earth have been for power. This war for freedom, you must win this war. Victory will be ours in this war. You have ignited the same flame in people that is in you. You gave fearlessness to a child and the power to clench his fist. [Music] Your struggle has ended. By cutting off the necks of the British, you have started the real war. Do you [Music] believe that the Palegars will gather and everyone will go with you? You want us all to walk the path you have shown. We have not rebelled. That doesn't mean we don't have courage. Big maharajas have turned to dust by rebelling against the British. On whose strength will you fight, tell me? The people. The people will fight this war. The people will fight the war. I don't understand. A king fights a king. A soldier fights a soldier. Have you ever seen the people fighting the government? Have you ever heard of it? What has not been heard will now happen. If we want, we can do it. Even if we don't have the right, so what? People still consider us their leader. If we start fighting, people will automatically stand with us. People will turn this fight into a revolution. Revolution will become a movement, and movement will become a war. If the people fight together, [Music] only then will this country get freedom. [Laughter] First, we should think about saving ourselves from the coming crisis. Malla Reddy, tell your brother the decision we have all made together. Brother, you distributed the treasure you looted among the villagers, but because of you, we have all become enemies of the British. Therefore, we have all made a decision together. We will talk to the British so that no trouble comes to you. You just have to tell them that you had no hand in whatever happened. And in my opinion, you should apologize. Apologize to the British. If you talk about apologizing again, I will cut off your head. Forget it, you are my elder brother. [Music] [Laughter] You will cut off your brother's head for apologizing? This is not a bull race. Narasimha Reddy. This is not a bull race. This is a war with 300 cannons and firangis. But you have no one with you. No one present here will support you. Narasimha Reddy, what will you do alone? I will fight. [Laughter] Sir, I will support you. Whether anyone fights or not, I will fight with you. [Laughter] [Laughter] I knew this day would surely come. I am ready for it. [Music] Sara, I ran my own plow, ate my own grain, built a body of steel. I can run like a horse and kill at least a few before dying in battle. Narasimha, you go ahead, sir, I am with you. [Music] Narasimha, the throne. [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] From the front [Music] from [Music] [Music] Narasimha Reddy, this is a denial of the 57th of the British Company, Madras [Music] Presidency. Come forward and show your surrender. Prepare the cannon fire. I repeat. Narasimha Reddy, surrender. Fire. [Screaming sound] [Groaning sound] [Screaming sound] [Groaning sound] Just bear it a little. [Music] [Music] [Music] He is here to lick boots. [Laughter] [Screaming sound] [Music] In three, four. [Music] Brave warriors of Renadu, do not fight this war for yourselves, fight for your brothers, for your mothers, for your children. Whether history remembers us or not, history will be written by us today. We may be just 40 common men to them. But these 40 have brought down their empire. History will be witness to this. You haven't seen the battlefield, so what? You haven't fought with weapons, so what? Hunting is not new to you. Killing such beasts is not new to you. Let's go hunting. Whose is this land? Whose is this war? Who will be victorious? [Screaming sound] [Screaming sound] [Groaning sound] All right. [Music] Protect Jagannath. Wow. [Screaming sound] Thank you guys, go. [Music] Fire, attack. [Screaming sound] [Screaming sound] Siddha Maa, just a little more courage, son. [Music] Ah. [Screaming sound] Long live. [Music] What? [Music] [Screaming sound] [Groaning sound] [Music] Sir, brother, Subhaya, this is the kind of death I wanted, Subaiya. [Music] Morning, this [Screaming sound] [Music] Come on. [Music] [Music] What? [Encouraging sound] [Screaming sound] [Music] 300 firangis, out of fear, no Palegar supported you, but you stood alone. [Music] At that moment, you won me over. Those 300 firangis were afraid of you, and the moment [Music] they came asking for my help, at that moment you won them too. And I have come to see this victory of yours with my own eyes. Sara, Narasimha Reddy, I like you, Abu Raju, but I don't like you. You have done what I wanted to do before me. Where I stopped, you moved forward. That's why I don't like you at all. [Laughter] One day, I will surpass you in this movement, and I will happily let you go. [Music] Sara, right, Sara. [Music] [Singing sound] Your son. [Music] One who fights for freedom never dies. Sumaiya. [Music] My son's name will be Sumaiya. [Music] [Music] His head is just arriving. Sir, why are so many vultures hovering around for just one head? [Music] [Music] [Music] A message has also been sent, sir. [Music] [Music] For those who cut off the hands of those who give them unearned bread, this is not a letter, but a warning. [Music] If one man was killed, you called me a dacoit. This time, 300 have been killed, so understand. This is a movement. A people's movement for freedom. From today onwards, our white cotton will not go to England in ships. Your white skins will go. [Music] Standing on my Indian land, I warn you. Leave my country, or there will be war. Your well-wisher, Machari Narasimha Reddy. Who the help is this Narasimha Reddy? Sir, Narasimha Reddy's portrait has been made. [Music] [Music] Nothing is written. [Music] in it. [Music] He came to us himself, warned us, and left. It has started, sir. [Music] [Music] From [Music] [Music] I am happy that you have joined us. Now our rebellion [Music] will become a people's movement. What should we do next? If we keep fighting from our forts, it will be called a war of Palegars. [Music] Only by staying with the people and fighting will this become a people's movement. We will stay with the people. [Music] [Music] Siddha Maa, have I ever asked you for anything? Never. What are you saying? Will you give me a promise today? Tell me. [Music] Can you fight like me? You are my life partner, of course. But can you become my struggle partner? [Music] Ah, meaning you will fight the British, and I am ready to fight this battle of life without you. Is that it? [Music] I will fight. I will take care of both your mother and son. Our union was for eradicating famine, and today we have to separate for the country. For my [Music] self-respect and struggle, you have been sacrificing since childhood. Can you forgive me for this birth? What are you saying? Don't say such things. Everyone says your love is someone else, and I also know that it is true. But I will not stop you. This land and these people [Music] need you. Didn't you promise not to leave? I will never let your promise be broken. Today, I am setting you free. Fight with peace of mind. [Music] Ah. [Music] [Singing sound] [Music] [Music] To set an example for those fighting alongside in the war, he has renounced all relationships. Come with me. You are ordered to leave Kothakota before tomorrow morning. [Music] On behalf of the government, I am asking for the last time, where is that Narasimha Reddy? Tell us. He lives in our hearts. Shoot. [Screaming sound] Hunt him. How many people are there, sir? About 100, I guess. [Music] Sai Ram, Sai Ram. [Music] [Music] We will never betray the movement. Nor will we ever leave it. Until Mother India is liberated. We will take as many lives as needed in this struggle for freedom. [Music] Ram Ram. [Laughter] Brother, brother. [Music] [Music] How do they know that we have hidden him in Kadwa fort? [Music] Narasimha, listen, brother made a mistake. He fell into greed. Get out of the way. [Music] Just forgive me once. Mistakes are forgiven, betrayal is not. [Music] Hey, you have betrayed not only your brother but also the movement. [Music] [Music] Great mother, even after being born from a mother like you, he has committed an unforgivable crime. [Music] [Singing sound] The punishment for him is in your hands. [Music] [Music] Sister, forgive him for my sake. [Music] We have been searching for him in the forests for four months, but he has not been found anywhere. A reward of 5000 will be given to whoever catches him alive. [Music] [Music] I know where he is. How much will you give? [Music] How much further do I have to walk? We have arrived. Will I get the full money? You will get more than what was promised. Let's go. [Music] [Music] Narasimha Reddy, Narasimha Reddy, I came here for you, and for the reward on your head, this traitor gave it. Who are you? Raja Pandey. Where are you from? From the Tamil land that gives birth to heroes. But why are you here? You have been fighting alone with the whites for six months. That's why I have come to support you. Keep me. I will always be with you like Lakshmana. Whether in valor or in heroic death. You are Tamil, and we Telugu people, how will we fight together? Mother India is our mother. So these are my brothers. Anything can happen. We will fight, trust me. How do you know about Narasimha Reddy? Everyone in Tamil Nadu knows Narasimha Reddy. Songs of his bravery are sung in every village, brother. [Music] [Music] May I know your name? Lakshmi. You have breathed new life into the movement. You sing about him as if you know him. I am also a part of this, and besides, who doesn't know about him? Forgive me. I started singing with you without your permission. Just singing together is not enough. Send one of your brave men to the war. I have sent the hero of the war. [Music] I am his wife. [Music] Is he also here? I didn't want to be a hindrance to him. That's why I set him free. Isn't it difficult for you to live without him? He has already given me a lifetime of love. [Music] That's right. I also [Laughter] your son. Yes, what? [Crying sound] [Screaming sound] No, son, don't cry. Come, son, don't cry. My good child. God knows what to give whom. He gave you the burden of the family, and me [Music] to take the movement to the people. That's right. [Screaming sound] [Groaning sound] What happened? From today, this land of Renadu is free. I will drive out every Englishman from my motherland. Tell your masters in London. I am the new Maharaj of Renadu. Tell them that if they want to set foot on my land, they will have to pay me rent. Now your fight is not with slaves, but with free Indians. Before this reaches London, it must be stopped. How will we do this? [Music] [Singing sound] Mother, you all suddenly here. We felt something untoward was about to happen. Narasimha, the whole family was worried about you, that's why [Music] we came to see you. There is nothing to fear, mother. Just as eyelids protect the eyes, [Music] this army is my friends like Veera Reddy, who are ready to die for me. Nothing untoward will happen, don't worry. I did not support him to make him king. Only one person can be the king of Renadu, and that is me. Avukku Raju, I thought Avukku Raju was dead. Today I found out he is alive. Shake hands with me. We will rule together. How? By destroying Narasimha Reddy and his family. And after that, this is Cochrane's signed resignation. If we suppress this rebellion, Renadu will be divided into two parts. I will be the king of the north, and you will be the king of the south. But we are both enough. There are many more like us in the army. You just need a partner like you. So tell me, when should we do it? Tonight. Whatever has to be done, must be done tonight. Tonight, when everyone is asleep.
I will open the fort's gates. My men will enter. Narasimha Reddy sleeps in the last room. Everyone will be sleeping in their rooms. Then I will open the door from the inside. In the eastern room, his bodyguard Raja Raja Pandi will be sleeping. I will kill him.
[Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music]
A traitor will betray his king. I will never betray my king.
[Music] [Music] [Music]
Before fighting enemies, it is important to recognize the snake in the grass. Because of your deceit, many of our companions were killed. You should have been killed at that very moment. But who else is involved in your poisonous intentions? I played this game to find out. Now the game is over.
[Music]
Isn't it? Not in the chest. That is the death of a hero. This sinner has broken his oath. Pierce this sword into his neck. Now Raju, I forgive you. It is better for the one who begs for forgiveness to die.
Basset!
[Music]
Well done, Narasimha.
[Music]
If there is a hero, it is you. I found and killed every traitor. One traitor is still left.
[Music]
Veera Reddy.
[Music] [Music] [Music]
As long as there is fear and greed, such people will continue to be obstacles. I was going to kill him right there. But then I thought of you. Decide what punishment to give him.
[Music]
The death penalty is the punishment for a traitor. Even if he is my son. You won't be able to do it. Leave it to me. Finish him.
[Music] [Music] [Music]
Get lost!
[Music] [Music] [Music]
Bhavati Lakshmi.
[Music]
This is the government. She goes from village to village inciting people. She sings songs of freedom.
[Music]
She is a dancer. A sword can win a war. But art can start a war. She is more dangerous than Narasimha Reddy. Government, she is Narasimha Reddy's lover.
[Music]
Soldiers, she is inciting people with her art. Today, she will ignite our fire without clothes. Raghavachari, at least let me warm my eyes. This body is only for Narasimha Reddy. No one else can dare to touch it. Do you think Narasimha Reddy will come to save you? Just look around you. These thousands of boxes filled with gunpowder.
[Music]
There will be no morning sun in the nine elements of the universe for the war. Not even your Narasimha Reddy. You have no way out. Come on, dance.
[Music]
Dance, dance. Jai Jai.
[Music] [Music]
Every life should have importance. Every death should be the auspicious beginning of a new life.

The day you achieve the goal of your life, you will also achieve the purpose of your death.

Judge, state the name of the deceased. Lakshmi. Lakshmi Day. Lakshmi Narasimha Reddy. Lakshmi Narasimha.
[Music] [Music]
A woman committed suicide by bombing and blew up 300 of our soldiers. Why are 9000 people standing with this one man? What is happening? Freedom fight. He thinks that by gathering a few rats, he will start a mass movement against us. What kind of mass movement? My Lord, there is no need to fear an army of lions if its leader is a rat. But if the leader of an army of rats is a lion, then it is a matter of concern. He will turn every rat into a lion.
[Music]
With this heroic tilak, you have to apply the vermilion of freedom on the forehead of Mother India. Declare war. Call him for a compromise. If he refuses, kill him. Go, my son.
[Music]
Victory in the battlefield. Sai Ram, Sai Ram.
[Music]
Sai Ram, Sai Ram. Mother India's brave sons, the time has come to repay the debt to the motherland. With your blood, today, let us make this sacred country free forever.
[Screaming voice] The cannon fires. Prepare the ordinary fire.

The world of Mahakal. 3000 of them are dead, sir. 10,000 of our men have died. You tried to hide this from me. What about Narasimha Reddy? Badly wounded, sir. Spread the rumor that he is dying, sir. He is not Narasimha Reddy. He is not just a name, he is a symbol of freedom. He killed one of our men, 40 people joined him. He killed 300 of our men, 4000 joined him. If the people of this country come to know that he has killed our 10,000 men, those 4000 will turn into lakhs, and lakhs into crores. The people of this country will revolt. There is a lot of anger among the people here right now. If they hear the news of their leader's death, their anger will subside, and their spirit will also die. So, convey the news of his death to his people. Not his victory. And I will tell you what to do next later. So, Mr. Veera Reddy.
[Music]
You are my enemy, and I am yours. I heard that a lot of bad things happened to you, and I felt sorry. I heard you had a son whom you loved very much. And Narasimha Reddy killed that son. He betrayed him, that's why Narasimha Reddy killed him. Then why did he spare his brother for the same betrayal?
[Music]
Shouldn't justice be the same for everyone? Injustice. Bloody blood relations always become the cause of injustice. My blood is boiling. I don't know how you are so calm, Veera Reddy? I have not come here to take advantage of you. But open your eyes and see who is taking advantage of you. Think about it, Veera Reddy.
[Music] [Music]
Swami, no one is able to explain properly what happened in the war. I heard my son became a martyr. I am very scared. Today is Kartik Purnima. A lamp will be lit on Jagannath Hill.
[Music]
Where are you going?
[Music]
Today is the night of Kartik Purnima. I must go to light the lamp on the hill. Is your going so important? The British are already spreading rumors that you are dead. Today, thousands of people will be looking towards the hill with great hope, and they should see that we have won the war and our movement is alive. You are important now, not that lamp.
[Music]
No, that trust is important, which people have shown us. Today, it is important for that lamp to be lit. I feel something bad is going to happen, Narasimha Reddy. Narsay is absolutely right. Trust should not die. Nothing bad will happen. Trust me.
[Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music]
[Bell sound] Siddha, Siddhamaba. How are you? Siddha, Siddha, how are you? Are you okay? Yes, but what are you doing here at this time? I knew nothing would happen to you. I just came to see you. Nothing happened to you, right? No, no. I knew nothing would happen to you.
[Crying voice] Rana, give it to me. Kidnapped? What happened? What happened to you? Your health suddenly... what happened? My Reddy. What is happening to you? Why are you feeling dizzy?
[Music]
It is not right for you to be here at this time. Get out of here quickly. Not leaving him. What will happen? The lamp should not be lit. Say he is alive. Be careful, Siddham. No one knows this path. You get out of this cave quickly. Let me stay here. No, Siddham, you must light that lamp. You also keep this lamp safe. Go, don't worry about me. Life should be for duties more than relationships.
[Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music]
Ho.
[Music]
Ho.
[Music] [Music] [Music] [Music]
Narsi, son, you are alive? No, they did not kill me, father.
[Music]
You know, don't you? Your father loves you very much. He has placed many hopes on you. If you die, his soul will die. But I cannot see Veera Reddy like this. Go and completely kill your father. Go, I am a criminal. Let me go. Don't cheat us, cheat the British. You will be called a patriot. Do something for the country and meet your father. He will come back to life. Father, someone wants to get Narasimha Reddy drugged and caught by some lowlife. I have to tell him where he will be found, father? That lowlife is me. What have you done?
[Music] [Music] [Music]
Veera Reddy.
[Music]
We, Mr. Narasimha Reddy, your companions Gosai Venkana, Avuk Raju, Papa Khan, and your 112 associates are being sent to an island as punishment. Confess all your crimes and ask for forgiveness. The British government might reduce your sentence out of mercy. Never forgiveness. If you have any last wish, tell me right now. Get out from my motherland.
[Music]
Under Section Two, Regulation One, Act of 1834, hang him by the neck until death in the presence of the public.
[Music] [Music] [Music]
Ram.
[Cheering voice] [Music] [Music]
Shri, no.
[Music] [Music]
It would have been good if I could have accompanied my friend even in death. Narasimha Reddy, who is on the verge of victory, is beyond death. Death cannot defeat him. The Court of Adalat convicts the prisoner, Majari Narasimha Reddy, on the counts of rebellion, murder, and robbery, and hence ordered to hang by the neck until death. Sir, stand up. Wipe your tears and look at me with pride, chest held high. Before you is freedom.
[Music]
In this country, mothers tell tales of heroes to their children. The wars fought in this country have become epics. The blood shed in this country has become history. We are those who taught the world salvation. Now we will teach everyone liberation. We taught how to live fearlessly. Now we will teach how to die free. We will not rest until we drive these British out of the sacred land of India, who steal from our mothers' breasts and cut off their heads. Everyone born on this earth should have only one ultimate goal: freedom, freedom, freedom.
[Music]
Whoever is martyred in war becomes war itself. From today, I too am war.
[Music]
Whoever sacrifices for the nation becomes the nation itself. From today, I am the nation. Today, when I am crucified. Celebrate it. Make this day a great festival. What is happening is not my death. Companions, it is a birth.
[Music] [Singing voice] Today is the birth of India's freedom. Bharat Mata Ki Jai. Bharat Mata Ki Jai. Bharat Mata Ki Jai. Bharat Mata Ki Jai. Bharat Mata Ki Jai.
[Music]
Jai Bharat Mata Ki Jai. Bharat Mata Ki Jai.

Son. Hi Narasimha.
[Screaming voice] Son, Narasimha Reddy, you have returned to me today the same blood with which I gave birth to you. From every drop of blood, a new Narasimha Reddy will be born. Your dream of being free will surely be fulfilled. Narasimha.
[Cheering voice] [Music] [Music]
The death of a hero ends a war. But with your death, this war has begun. It will not stop. You have won, Narasim.
[Music]
In this war, Narasimha Reddy breathed life into it. We will carry it forward.
[Music]
The souls of Narasimha Reddy reside in the weapons of every warrior here. Shall we forget this? No one, no one, no one. No one, no one, no one. Our goal.
