Vangaveeti (2016)

A Ram Gopal Varma Film
Based on a few people
who lived in Vijayawada
three decades ago and
on incidents which happened then
Kill! Just Kill!
Kill! Just Kill!
Kill! Just Kill!
Kill! Just Kill!
One who is afraid can never become
a Gangster Vangaveeti Radha
Kill...Just Kill!
She is the Goddess who can take anybodys
life effortlessly sitting atop a hill
and looking at the Rowdies
of Vijayawada
You may be the most powerful rowdies but at
the end, your lives will become a pile of ash
despite she explained giving
the historical examples
Yet...none of them cared
Because...courage was born first
and then rowdies
One who is scared of death can
never become a rowdy
Because they dont know fear,
they are called Rowdies
The origin to this Rowdyism was a man
who held a blood drenched red flag
He dared and took an oath to change the
system that could never be changed
With a hope that their weak lives
will become strong, some joined him
The revolution lit fire even in
the toiling rickshaw pullers
Looking at them,
even the taxi drivers joined him
Eventually...hundreds joined him
To fortify this movement...
and remove few mindless opposers...
sometimes, he used his sword
He was no ordinary Rowdy...
he was the boss...
An unofficial cop...an unofficial judge
His name was...Venkata Rathnam
During that time, rowdies in many areas
called themselves as Venkata Rathnams men
Except one small time Rowdy
His name was Radha
He was fondly called as
Bus Stand Radha in his area
His surname...Vangaveeti!
Vangaveeti! Vangaveeti! Vangaveeti!
Vangaveeti! Vangaveeti! Vangaveeti!
Vangaveeti! Vangaveeti! Vangaveeti!
Vangaveeti! Vangaveeti! Vangaveeti!
This is the sword of Vangaveeti
The power of protection
This is the sword of Vangaveeti
The power of protection
My name is Radha
Without even considering he is your friend,
How dare you collect money as per your whims
What did you think...
Suri has no one?
Sir...he will die!
Spare him sir
Because of people like you...
these mishaps happen
If this repeats
I will come to your house
and kill you
If we have to change
greedy people like him...
... A revolution should come
Unless the red flag waves
on Delhi fort...
that change wont happen
What should we do with
the Gandhinagar pickpocket case?
You take care of it
Get that anti-itch lotion!
Who is he?
Bus Stand Radha!
Heard you are bashing up
everyone without thinking
Doing extortion
And not caring about
my men either!
You think that Bus Stand
is your private property?
No property is anyones
private property
What!
Who do you think of yourself?
I dont think...
I do what needs to be done
You dont event have
a matured moustache
Dont you want to live?
I am not scared of death
Stop!
Sit
Get out!
Take care of Bus Stand...
but as my person
Muscle power is important...
but an iron heart is more important
You have both!
but there is something
more important than that
This...
this is important
this is important
Think about it
Unity...brings happiness
Working for him means
you are his slave!
Nobody opposes us in
our area till today
Once we start listening
we are finished
You are right...
what do you say Yesu
Forget you and me...
what do you say Radha
Living like a small rowdy
in Bus Stand
And living like the king of Vijayawada...
there is a huge difference
We must stop thinking small...
and start thinking big
We will continue
what we are doing
But if we have someone like
Venkata Rathnam we can grow quickly
This is a history written by time..
This is a story beyond time.
This is the poison witnessed by time
Even the poison of poisons shivers with fear
Vangaveeti. Vangaveeti. Vangaveeti.
Survival depends on
the power of knives
A flame burns in every heart
Fear in every step
Spines shiver with fear
Till that time, Radhas gang was
controlling small deals in Bus Stand area
But under Venkat Rathnams shadow, they got
into the mission of controlling entire Vijayawada
Radhas intelligence, guts,
leadership made him the talk of the
town more than Venkata Rathnam
Till that time, the Vijayawada rowdies who were
disciplined under Venkata Rathnams monitoring
Were flummoxed looking at Radhas speed...
They just blacked out and backed out
The only name heard everywhere
was Radha and this
triggered a huge bout of envy
in Venkata Rathnam
This got aggravated with
those around him filling his ears
Venkata Rathnam decided
to take action before
the situation got out of hand
and called Radha
Where is sir
Got slightly delayed
You have become a big guy
isnt it?
Prepare a drink
You wait
Radha will do it...
sorry...Bus Stand Radha
For everyone!
You wanted me to come urgently
And you came an hour late
Its okay, like an old wife waiting for
her husband who is with his mistress...
Like a young wife waiting
for her old husband...
we have to wait for you
Tell me
I heard you are setting
a separate camp
When power fills your head,
you forget your origin
Thankless people
I respect you more than my father
If you truly respect me
If father does anything
Then you should be proud of your
father for what ever he does.
Otherwise you should just keep quiet
But you should not talk
against your father
Iam not like a father listening to
his son who is going against him
Come! Lets go!
Go away!
Ohh! What a scene!
That fellow overreacting,
this fellow stopping...
Anyway...own gang is own gang
Who gave you this life?
Like the saying goes
''when you give something
out of compassion, they expect
everything finally"
Bad times...
soothsayers said about it long ago
I just want to say
Little bird is chirping
Birds chirp when they
become ready for slaughter
They keep chirping again and again
Listen to me carefully!
If you wish to leave me...
you leave Vijayawada
Or...do as I say...
With your head bowed to me..
And wagging your tail
I give only one warning
And I dont give a second warning...
get out!
He who has two wives,
three children to each wife,
left the party's idealogy to dogs...
With Radha...with Radha...
I want to die
Are you mad? Crazy bugger!
You will die
Are we alive now?
Tell me!
He made Radha stand...treated him like
a worker and humiliated him
I was standing there helplessly
doing nothing...damn!
I am done! I am finished!
We must do something
We have to do something
Or else we cannot survive here
The old man called Radha
and abused him
He treated him like a labourer
With his left leg...his left leg
Left leg? Left leg!
Tell me!
It seems he took his left slipper
and hit Radha
when everyone outside is gossipping...
I felt like pouring kerosene
and kill myself
I cannot say more
Vangaveeti.. vangaveeti.
Radha, we cannot live like this
in Vijayawada
Do something Radha
Lets kill him
That word "Let's kill him" from Radha
smeared the forehead of Vijayawada
with blood for three decades
Maybe Radhas gang were inexperienced
But one desire triggers
an experience of many years
When Radha received news from his team that
Venkata Rathnam was returning in a bus
from Hyderabad he devised
a perfect sketch to eliminate him
Start the car
Shall we get down?
Wait till Radha tells us
Ambati! I think he understood...
shall we get down
Nobody should get down
till Radha gets down
Check that torch light
Hey! He is going to jump!
Ambati catch the torch.
Come! Come!
What are you staring? Kill him!
Hey kill him.
Its either you or me!
Lets decide!
How dare he insult Radha..
Don't leave him.
Ambati! Switch on the light!
I swear...
I respect you a lot
Vangaveeti..Vangaveeti.
Vangaveeti..Vangaveeti.
Vijayawada woke up to the rude shock
of Venkata Rathnams death
His close aides vanished without
informing even their families
Not just that, Radhas gang
began wiping out all those
gangsters who operated taking
Venkata Rathnams name
Vangaveeti..Vangaveeti.
Vangaveeti..Vangaveeti.
The only discussion in
Houses, vehicles,
theatres, tea stalls,
rickshaw stands, taxi stands,
Companies, roads is Radha
One had to be careful
not to upset Radha
Whatever Radha says, that is the order
from the Goddess of Vijayawada
The whole city understood that
Radha is the police, the law
Once power comes,
it keeps growing automatically
Similarly, Radhas power got into
a new range with the entry of two men
They are Gandhi, Nehru
Let us explain all problems of college in detail to him
Okay
Who are these people?
Who are you?
We are students of SRR college sir
We would like to meet Radha sir once
So? Wont you take permission?
We have few problems in college
so we came to discuss about them
Why do you go to college?
To smoke cigarettes and tease girls, isnt it?
Please speak with respect
We are students...not animals
Hey Ambati! They are saying they are students...
take them
Okay...you two can come,
the rest stay here
You all are stay here..
take this.
Tell him...
I give only one warning
Give the phone to him
Are you done?
She is a widow and mother of three kids
Even you have a mother
That land is not your fathers...
it belongs to the poor family
If possible support them in setting up
a vegetable stall in the market
If you cannot, let them live their life
But if you go towards that land once again
Prepare your property will on your wifes name
Understood?
This is final
Where is Ranga?
He has gone out
Hello sir
We are students of SRR college
My name is Nehru, this is my elder brother Gandhi
Hello.
Tell me
We need your help
How can a rowdy help students
How can a person who helps others be a rowdy, Radha sir
Few external parties are interfering
in our College union issues
We came to discuss about that
The external parties include the men of
deceased Venkata Rathnam
After listening to Gandhi and Nehrus problems,
Radha devised his plans on how they
can be resolved, who all have to be warned,
whose bones need to be broken and ordered his
men to do the needful.
This action from Radha built immense trust
and respect in Gandhi and Nehru
From now on, we must inform Radha sir before we do anything
Okay
If any issue happens in college dont
take any decisions without telling me
By the way, where is Murali
What are you saying?
We are very lucky to get Radha sirs support
This is the only way we can stop those parties
I sent you to college for studies
What is the need for you to go to that Rowdys house
Why dont you mind your business
Mom! Radha sir is not a rowdy!
Mom! Radha sir is a balanced man
He is good for good people, bad for bad people
He warned somebody over the phone Mom,
that too for a poor family
I really like him! Thats it!
Me and Nehru have decided that our
students will support him only
Why are you involving with such type of people
Dont know what fights it will bring
Mom! Even if we dont want, fights may not stop..
At that moment, we need support right?
Hey! heard you are spending more time in
college ground than in classroom..
Mom! He is always seen in college ground
Ohhh!it's a problem if seen in college ground...
but not if seen with a girl
Well said Murali! What do you have to say?
What is this college ground and girl?
What's actually happening?
Mom! Let me tell you
Hey! Lets go from here
One minute! Wait!
What is that secret
One minute! Wait!
Looks like something is cooking behind my back
These two will not reveal, you tell me Murali
Err...Mom...brother is in love
The girls side is pressurizing for marriage
Looks like nobody knows
Without the eldest one getting married,
how can you marry
Mom! He was hesitating for the same reason
Dont link his marriage with mine
Whoever gets a girl should proceed
Who is the girl
Tell her
Tell her
Her name is Lakshmi
By the time Nehru got married,
the combination of Radha-Gandhi-Nehru
took the rowdyism of Vijayawada to its peak
At a time when all were trembling with just one Radha,
Gandhi-Nehru turned out to be two additional Radhas
Since they were educated,
they started giving new ideas to Radha
The students wing in college are bad with us Radha sir
If we have to stop them, we must start an organization
We are always referred as Radhas Gang
which is implying we are Rowdies, there is no Respect
What's needed to be done?
You are doing many things to many people
If you can do the same under one organization,
you will get recognition
Your proposal is good...what do we name it
College front has got organizations of only political parties
The rest are independent units
Since we are bringing them together,
if we name it as United Independence
as UI, it will be good
United Independence
It is good
With Gandhi-Nehrus idea, Radhas United Independence
became a strong force in Vijayawada within a very short span
Not just college unions, Gandhi and Nehru
went to many other unions,
explained the greatness of UI and
convinced them to join the party
While UI was prospering,
oblivious of all this was Vangaveeti Ranga,
younger brother of Radha and his life took a turn
with the entry of a girl
Her name is Ratna Kumari
I am... that running wave in the river
I am... that moving cloud
My name is Kumari
I am the jewel of this place
My name is Kumari
I am like a diamond
My name is Kumari
I am a flowing river
My name is Kumari
I become a storm if you tease me
My guts are unshakable
My intelligence is perennial
Every home
Knows me
I am a boon to those who ask
A fight to those who oppose
I am fearless
I am todays Goddess
My name is Kumari
I am a flying kite
My name is Kumari
I swallow the sky
One look from me
You will flee with fear
You come against me
You will run with panic
All men
In full shivers
So many tales about me across all streets
Everywhere...only my story is spoken
Anyday, Rani is the story
My name is Kumari
I am the jewel of this place
My name is Kumari
I am like a diamond
I am the heat to fire..
I am the shadow for ground
I am the thunder to rain. I am the lightning to the sky
I am the thunderbolt you never saw or heard
I am the strength you wish
I am the asylum you seek
I am mischievous in games
My words are like flames
I am a smile that never fades
I am a rocket
All this land belongs to me
This town belongs to me
My name is Kumari
I am the jewel of this place
My name is Kumari
I am like a diamond
My name is Kumari
I am a flowing river
My name is Kumari
I become a storm if you tease me
My guts are unshakable
My intelligence is perennial
Every home
Knows me
I am a boon to those who ask
A fight to those who oppose
I am fearless
I am todays Goddess
My name is Kumari
I am a flying kite
My name is Kumari
I swallow the sky
Are you blind
Cant you drive properly...see how you hurt me
What are you staring
Are you listening?
Get up
Get up
Are you a man?
When you are not capable, why are you driving a scooter?
Who are you? What is your name?
Hey! Mind your tongue
Are you a girl?
Hey! Whats your problem?
Are you trying to scare me when I am trying to help
Why fight with them...lets leave
Keep quiet! Getting scared for everything
Who do you think this Ratna Kumari is?
Everyone shakes with fear
on hearing this name
One blow from me and you will
be out of order for a week
Please dont mind
He blurted out of anxiety
Please spare him looking at my face
Eh? Do you have the face of a film hero?
Do you think I am your wife that
you are holding my hand
Ehh..leave.
Hey! Stop overacting!
Because you are a girl I am not reacting
You wait.
ohh...showing pity because
I am a girl is it?
I am not a girl
Since there are no girls in my home,
my mother made me wear these clothes
So what now
Hey! Dont irritate me or else...
Oh my god! All this is anger?
I am scared...look at me trembling
Hey! Do you have guts
You have grown up like a bull
If I get irritated I will tell Radha sir
and take your case.. Buzz off!
What... Radha?
Hey! Dont say Radha...
say Vangaveeti Radha
Do you know who is he?
Vangaveeti Radhas own brother...
Vangaveeti Ranga
Radhas brother Ranga?
Look at this joke
He is right
Move.
What... you like her?
That initial encounter between Ranga
and Ratna Kumari
blossomed into a deep Romantic
relationship in a very short time
Since he was hesitant to reveal this
news to his elder brother Radha,
he shared this with Gandhi-Nehru
and also introduced Ratna Kumari to them
The four of them started hanging out
regularly and became thick friends
But Ratna Kumaris parents were
completely against this relationship
First reason is caste
and second reason,
it was a Rowdy family
A big fight took place in college
They beat up two of our guys knowing
we were not around
They are badly injured and in ICU
Doctors say they cannot comment
till 24 hours pass
Who hit them
His name is Simhadri, he lives in Gunadala
Oh Goddess! The mother of mothers!
Oh Goddess! The personification of anger!
Oh Goddess! The rider of tiger!
Please open your eyes
Oh Goddess!
Oh Goddess!
Oh Goddess in stone!
See this act of bloodshed!
Oh Goddess who lives on the hill!
Please stop this violence!
Along with Gunadala simhadri in college
Radha's men murdered two others conected to him
For losing the key leader Venkataratnam much before
the party members fumed with anger.
They called for an urgent meeting
After all, one rowdy
He killed our leader and party workers
Rickshaw union, auto union, lorry union
He snatched them one by one from us
He removed our party flags at every centre
and every junction
We are a national party
And we are unable to hold
even one meeting in Vijayawada
The only reason for this is Radha
There is nothing more
shameful than this
So what if he is a big Rowdy
He will ooze only blood if
stabbed with a knife
He must die!
This is partys decision!
Once the decision was taken to kill Radha
A series of long discussions took place in the
party on how to do it, where to do it, when to do it
Karl Marx said All human relations
are financial relations
All are aware that money matters often
lead to internal rifts between groups
Just like how the local kings
owe allegiance to the emperor
The local businessmen owe their allegiance to
a Rowdy, this is a common practice
Similarly, a local trader named
Ram Prasad supported Radha
But he goofed up with few payments
With the fear that he will be killed
He wanted Radha to collect
the total payment at his shop
Ram Prasad delivered a message to Radha
through his person Nageswara Rao
Nageswara Rao who has past links with
the party leaked this news
Thats it! The perfect plan for
Radhas murder was ready
When a murder plan is prepared and
many are involved in it
Not all of them will know
the full details
All that they know is only
the role they need to play
Even Ram Prasad and Nageswara Rao who
played a key role in Radhas murder know very little
The reason to bring you from
outside state to kill Radha is
No Rowdy in Vijayawada has
the guts to attack him
Our spot is Prasads shop in Museum road
Radha will come with his men to the
shop for collecting money
All of you disguise yourselves as Rickshaw pullers,
Coolies, tea drinkers and wait there
How do we recognize Radha
One among you greet him
The one who greets you back...
he is Radha
Salutations to the Daughter of the Mountain
For Whom the whole World is a Divine Play
And Who is Praised by Nandi
Who Dwell on the Summit of the Vindhyas
The Best of the Mountains
Who gives Joy to Lord Vishnu
And Who is Praised by Lord Indra
Goddess, Who is the Consort of the
One with Blue Throat of Lord Shiva
Goddess, Who is the Consort of the
One with Blue Throat of Lord Shiva
Who has Many Many Relations in this World being the
Cosmic Mother And Who Created Abundance in Creation
Who has Many Many Relations in this World being the
Cosmic Mother And Who Created Abundance in Creation
Radhas murder became
a huge sensation in Vijayawada
People never heard or witnessed such
a perfectly planned murder
With the killing of Nageswara Rao,
the only link to Radhas death was gone
And nobody knew who planned this murder
Despite knowing the way my brother was killed
Werent you afraid of coming here
My brother was everything to me...
my whole family
I didnt know why everyone
was scared of him
Because I know only his love...
nothing else
Thats how he brought me up
Such a man was killed brutally
Tell me honestly...
werent you scared
No...my love for you...has grown more
Listen to me carefully Ratna
Death is hunting me every minute
It is not safe for you to meet me
Everyone will die...
stop thinking about it
Are you mad?
If something happens to you,
I wont be able to take it
I dont want to put you in
difficulty by marrying you
Forget me
Let us not discuss this further
Just listen to what I say
Ranga.
Me? Leader?
All these years we depended on
you and your family
If you dont become our leader now, what will
happen to our lives...where will we go
Yes Ranga! You are our leader!
We are with you
Ranga sir...good or bad...
our journey is with you only
Hail Ranga! Hail Ranga!
Ranga is our leader!
Ranga is our leader!
Ranga is our leader!
Ranga is our leader!
I dont know anything about
the issues here
My only aim is to kill those
who killed my brother
I am not as experienced as you
How can I become your leader
You lead us from the front
We are behind you
Look Ranga...a leader is not born
People shape up the leader
Everyone here likes your spite
Thats why they are seeing
their leader in you
Tomorrow they will transform you into
a more powerful leader than Radha
Say yes Ranga
Ranga Hail!
Ranga Hail!
Ranga Hail!
Ranga Hail!
Ranga Hail!
Why are you here
I left my home...permanently
What happened
After I met you that day,
there was a fight at home
My family did not listen despite
my repeated attempts
They began looking for
marriage alliances
I will not marry anyone except you
I have already told you
Marriage cannot happen
in my present situation
I dont know when I will be killed
Your life will be spoiled
Speak to your parents and
marry a good boy
I dont want to discuss this further
What happened?
I left my home
What did Ranga say?
He says he will not marry
So? You left, is it?
You should have asked him to marry
He is in his own tensions
I cannot go against him
I cant go home either
Dont know what to do
Please come
Mom!
What happened
My Mother
Hello.
My wife Lakshmi.
Hello.
My younger brother Murali
Hello.
Mom! Her name is Ratna Kumari
She left her home for Ranga
Ranga says he cannot marry her
given his situation
No problem! Be strong!
Given the situation, everyone will have their own fears
Have patience...everything will become alright
What are you saying?
I cannot marry in this situation
You loved her despite knowing
their family will not accept
You made her love you
Now saying no to her, is it correct?
Both of you know how much I like her
That is why I am saying
no to the marriage
Things have changed from then to now
When brother was alive,
I didnt have any responsibilities
But now I have a goal
And both of you know the dangers
surrounding it
I dont want to drag Ratna into it
and ruin her life
Somehow, you convince her to marry
the boy of her parents choice
Thats not going to happen Ranga
She is madly in love with you
If she knows you said no
She will jump into the river
She is a girl with self-respect...
what else will she do
Fearing something will happen sometime,
will you abandon the girl you love
Think about it Ranga
Alright...whatever happens,
let it happen
The Tiger got the deer
They are now getting hitched
Tiger in a saree and Deer in a Dhoti
This is a wonder
Like a shadow
The tiger will hunt the deer
It will strike with its look
And devour with lust
This is the wedding of Lord Rama
and Goddess Seeta
A wedding between a flower
and its branch
This is the wedding of Lord Shiva
and Goddess Parvathi
A wedding between diamond and gold
Its the wedding of a couple who flow
with the strength of togetherness
This wedding tells a tale...
of making dreams come true
Wedding! Wedding! Wow! What a wedding!
Wedding! Wedding! Converging into sweet union
Wedding! Wedding! What a wedding!
Wedding! Wedding! What a great wedding!
She becomes the life and soul
In the presence of four directions
When three knots are tied
Two hearts become one
Enough of games and fun
It is time to give blessings
Give the wedding gift
And go for a delicious meal
Wedding! Wedding! Wow! What a wedding!
Wedding! Wedding! Converging into sweet union
Wedding! Wedding! What a wedding!
Wedding! Wedding! What a great wedding!
The holy thread that touches the neck...touches mind
This is a wedding that will last forever
With unending wealth
This is a wedding of delightful future
One word one path
We will tread the same way
With many victories
They will conquer many kingdoms
This is a wedding between sword and power
A wedding of intense love
This is one in a million wedding
That will shine till the last
With laughter and fun
This wedding brought heaven to earth
It got decided from the world above
And created a paradise here
Wedding! Wedding! Wow! What a wedding!
Wedding! Wedding!
Converging into sweet union
Wedding! Wedding! What a wedding!
Wedding! Wedding! What a great wedding!
Wedding! Wedding! What a wedding!
Wedding! Wedding! What a great wedding!
A wise man said when everything is
going good, something bad will happen
Though it looked good from outside,
some problems began in UI party
Few followers of Radha began to complain
against Gandhi-Nehru out of jealousy
Who is Nehru? Who is Gandhi?
No election! Nothing!
Anybody dares open their mouth,
their heads will break!
This is my word...
means it is Rangas word
Ranga! The approach of
Gandhi-Nehru is not correct
Why?
Why! Because of the liberty you gave them
Students should be like students
Why should they know about other issues
They are interfering in everything
Not interfering...
they are racing ahead
He is speaking the truth
Many among us are not liking
their approach
They are also part of us
They are working for us
Why are you feeling for that
Ranga! Radha used to say system
should have only one leader
The philosophy of any system having
only one leader is nothing new
Though the horns that come later
are stronger than the ears that come before
..ears never like it
When the cracks within UI were going strong,
Gandhi and Nehru started a movement
There was intense competition among
the private bus operators in Vijayawada
In a haste to board more passengers
and make more trips
The buses moved more on
people than on the roads
With the accidents increasing,
Gandhi and Nehru started an agitation
They demanded the bus services to be nationalized
and the government accepted it
Students took out a massive rally holding
UI flags
They shouted Gandhi Hail! Nehru Hail
slogans loudly near Rangas home
Gandhi Hail! Nehru Hail
Are you watching it
They won with your support and
celebrating the credit
That too...in front of your home
If they take our name instead of Rangas,
how is it our fault
It was Radha who rescued you
when you came for his help
He cleared all your obstacles
You were nobody and he gave you the
address of United Independence
We suggested Radha to start
the student organization
He got student support because of us
Gandhi! Dont speak as if
my brother depended on you both
Thats wrong!
One more word against
Radha and beware!
What will you do?
What did I speak wrong?
I spoke the facts, thats it!
Calm down!
Ranga! Some communication gap...
If we have done something wrong,
it was unintentional
Whatever we do,
it is for all of us
Hey Nehru! Stop lying!
Who supported you in bus agitation?
Was it not Ranga?
And what did you do?
You stood right in front of his home
and got slogans on your name
Has Ranga become so negligible for you
Hey Subba Rao!
Dont you understand?
Just because I am tolerating,
dont cross the limit
Like I said, students were excited
and they gave those slogans
Because we were in the agitation,
they said something without thinking
So you are implying all this happened
because of you and not Ranga
Standing next to me as my people,
this is what you do!
Dont misunderstand us Ranga!
Thats not the only issue
You are students...what is your
business in other union related matters
I heard you are interfering in auto union,
rickshaw union and doing whatever you feel like
Just because I gave you some liberty,
if you act smart, it wont be tolerated
Be careful!
Ranga! Its not us but you
who needs to be careful
listening to wrong people proves
you how wrong it is
Nehru! Lets go!
Ranga! My brother is speaking emotionally
without thinking I apologize on his behalf
Hey! What sorry! Anyone dare come near me...
I will slaughter them
Lets go!
Buzz off!
I agree they are wrong..
but we wouldnt have reacted wild
Keep quiet!
That Subba Rao is blabbering nonsense
Instead of slapping him,
Ranga warns us!?
How much we did for him...
how much are we doing
Anyhow, we went there to meet Radha
After him, when our guys wanted
us to become the leader
Since he is Radhas brother,
we gave it to him
After doing so much,
this is what we get
Nehru! I am saying this out of
thinking but not anger
One who listens to wrong advices,
one who forgets others help
Can never be called a leader
It wont work with Ranga...
we have to take a separate way
Let him keep United Independence
We are starting a new party USO
United Students Organization
But brother?
United Students Organization
But brother?
No discussions.
Hail USO
Hail USO
Gandhi-Nehru are visiting colleges
and holding many meetings
They are forcing our UI members
to join their USO party
They also bashed up few of our guys
They also bashed up few of our guys
They are also commenting indirectly
on you and calling UI incapable
Yes Ranga! They are doing lot of things
Not just the student unions, they are
creating friction in Auto Unions also
They are trying to split the Rickshaw
and other worker unions as well
They are also collecting money
from businessmen
Ranga! They have become ready to
damage us in all ways
If we leave them like this,
both Gandhi-Nehru will wipe out our UI
I have information they are
planning an attack on you
All this while, you were together
Now you have come out and started
your own union,
will they keep quiet?
What will they do?
We stood behind them at all times
What can they do without us
They dont have any gratitude Mom!
Even he has a lot of support
Murali! Be quiet!
Mom! Once suspicion starts,
it only keeps growing
That is why we had to come out
If we dont start our party now,
what else should we do Mom?
They wont listen to me...
at least you tell them
Where will they listen to me
Mom! Dont worry...
nothing will happen to us
Give me some water
Here...
You want some more?
No
What are you thinking?
About Gandhi-Nehru?
Do you really believe
they are doing all this?
Yes
Why would they do that
Because they want my place
Which means you are in danger
Then what is there to think
Before they do something to you...
you do something
There is no other way
Kill them!
Salutations to the Daughter
of the Mountain
For Whom the whole World
is a Divine Play
And Who is Praised by Nandi
Who Dwell on the Summit of the Vindhyas
The Best of the Mountains
Who gives Joy to Lord Vishnu
being His sister
And Who is Praised by Lord Indra
Though they did mistakes,
they are our guys
They were with us for long and
we did many things together
That is why I dont want to hurt them
Gandhi is short tempered
but Nehru is sensible
Speak to him once
You are doing a mistake Nehru
Who will not get angry if
someone questions authority
Ranga has thought a lot about you
But if you start a separate party,
it will become evident we have split
Both our names will
come down in Vijayawada
Explain this to Gandhi
and convince him
Nehru! Why are you wasting
your time with them? Come!
Come!
UI down, down
Kill! Just kill!
Kill! Just Kill!
Kill! Just Kill!
Kill! Just Kill!
Kill...Just Kill!
Kill...Just Kill!
Kill! Just Kill!
Kill! Just Kill!
This rage doesnt stop
Lives end up in ash
These are swords without mercy
Filled with rage
That they can kill death
Run...
Slicing one muscle per sword
Chase..
And slicing the bodies into pieces
Call of death!
A painful scream!
Hail USO.
No care for anything
Mercy...
Kill! Just kill!Kill! Just kill!
Everyone becoming the Lord of death
And creating dreadful consequences
Like the grim reaper... Like a demon
Like a punisher.. If he comes
Heart struggles to beat
Life struggles to survive
Violence for violence damaged
the nest like life
The bird like life flew for ever
Those are the lives of these beings
Brother!
Brother!
Brother!
Brother!
Brother!
Get up brother!
Gandhis murder resulted in an
unimaginable sensation in Vijayawada
Rangas gang killing one of their own
shivered everyone
Despite internal differences, nobody
expected a decision to kill would be taken
Many groups who were with Ranga-Nehru
were in utter confusion on whom they should support
At this crucial juncture came lawyer Mohan Rao,
the well wisher of both sides, to strike a compromise
Gandhi is dead...he will not return
We cannot change what happened
Nehru...all said and done
Your growth was with Radhas party.
And you opposing them led to this situation
Ranga believed wrong people
and fell for wrong advices
Trying to dig the truth is useless
As your well wisher I am advising...
stop this feud here
If you seek vengeance,
nobody will be benefitted
Compromise is better
Compromise? With my brothers killer?
Brother! What is this useless meeting?
We should spare those who killed
our brother and go for compromise?
Damn!
He may be shameless to advise us...
are we shameless to listen
There is no sparing Ranga or his men
I will kill them all!
I will hunt every single one
and kill them
Murali! Keep quiet! I will talk
Go inside!
Havent you heard me? Go!
I can understand his anger
But you need to understand one thing. You have
lost half your strength after Gandhis death
Without knowing what
you can or cannot do
No union will come forward to support you
Moreover, your prime duty is
to protect your family now
Think about it,
Take my advice...go for compromise
I am saying this for the good
of you and your family
Above all, it is for the safety
of your younger brother
I told you what I had to...bye
Lakshmi
Get me some coffee.
Also get some bangles
Me and brother will wear them
What are you saying
Its okay Lakshmi...he is upset
Upset? Its burning inside!
Are we shameless?
Are we spineless?
If we compromise with them, it means we are
falling at their feet and begging them not to kill us
Damn!
Compromise doesnt mean defeat
Many diplomacies happen before a big war
Do you know that
Murali...anger alone doesnt
work...reasoning is also important
Yes! I am angry...
and I will continue growing it
Because they killed our brother
Ten against one unarmed man...
they chased and slaughtered him
And we are sitting here like spineless
people doing peace talks
Is this a life? Damn it!
I hate this life!
If you respect me...listen to me
Given our situation,
we must compromise
Or else we cannot stop the killings
Death!
It is inevitable!
A truth everyone should accept
Birth is forever!
Only the Life has meaning!
He who is not afraid of death
He is the creator of history
Death!
It is inevitable!
A truth everyone should accept
Birth is forever!
Only the Life has meaning!
Either you will be killed on the battlefield
and attain the heavenly planets
Or you will conquer and enjoy the earthly kingdom
Therefore, get up and fight with determination
Instead of dying each day living in fear
One should die once and live forever
Instead of dying and getting forgotten
One should live in beating hearts
This body, this bond is not real
The dare, the goal should be the fuel
Death! It is inevitable!
A truth everyone should accept
Birth is forever!
Only the Life has meaning!
You have the right to perform your actions
But do not let the fruit be the purpose of your actions
And therefore you won't be attached
To not doing your duty
Living Life with a meaning
Is what makes life meaningful
If you live without passion, What is
the difference between a man and a bug
This life is not permanent for anyone
One should make his presence felt before dying
Death!
It is inevitable!
A truth everyone should accept
Death! It is inevitable!
A truth everyone should accept
Birth is forever!
Only the Life has meaning!
After the compromise which followed
Gandhis death, things got settled.
At the same time, Rangas popularity reached
greater heights among the weaker sections of the society
Then came this man named
Padmanabham to meet Ranga
Hello.
Hello.
Tell me
Since things have become cool now this
is the right time for you to take the next step
Meaning?
You must grow to state level
from this local range
Meaning...you should enter politics
Is it necessary?
Yes...
if you use muscle power for
a good cause
still you will be perceived
as gangster
But if you do the same from a party,
it is called politics
The time has come for you
to change your image
Ranga has done a lot to
the poor and the weak
If he joins our party, our position in
Vijayawada will become very strong
If Ranga contests in this election,
victory is ours
So, I suggest recommending
the name of Ranga to party high command
We support Ranga! We support Ranga!
Calm down...
We support Ranga!
Silence please
Silence please
Silence please
I request you all to approve
this proposal
Hail Ranga!
Silence please
Our senior leader Raju will
say a few words
Tell us Raju sir
This party was run by great men like Mahatma Gandhi,
Pandit Nehru, Vallabhai Patel
Given that, is it right to
include gangsters in this party?
If people like these are given party tickets and
sent to Assembly,the partys reputation goes to dogs
I am rejecting your proposal
We dont agree!
wait...please wait
wait...please wait
You sit
Please sit.
Raju sir...
you are still in the old school of thought
Things dont happen with peace
and non-violence
Only those who can stand up and fight in
any form can become a leader today
Ranga is the correct candidate for us
He doesnt need us...we need him
It doesnt matter
If gangsters start walking into party offices
and Assemblies,
I will not accept
We dont agree!
wait...please wait
wait...please wait
These threats dont work on me
I am not scared of anyone
I know everyones history here
I will speak to High Command and
see how he gets a ticket
Go and complain to whomever you wish
Vangaveeti..Vangaveeti..Vangaveeti.
Vangaveeti..Vangaveeti..Vangaveeti.
Vangaveeti..Vangaveeti..Vangaveeti.
Vangaveeti..Vangaveeti..Vangaveeti.
This is the power of Vangaveeti
The protective intelligence
Vangaveeti..Vangaveeti..Vangaveeti.
Vangaveeti..Vangaveeti..Vangaveeti.
This is the power of Vangaveeti
The protective intelligence
The aggressive call
Creates fear and respect
It ignited aggression by awakening a revolt
Vangaveeti..Vangaveeti..Vangaveeti.
This is a story beyond time
This is witnessed by time
Even the darkest nights fear this
Vangaveeti..Vangaveeti..Vangaveeti.
The leader walked showing the path
He is the king of every heart
Every step raised his glory
There's none to oppose him
He doesnt differ between you and me
He is the God who answers your prayer
He stands by you with empathy
Vangaveeti..Vangaveeti..Vangaveeti.
Only he lives in everyones heart
And victory stands with him...always
Vangaveeti..Vangaveeti..Vangaveeti.
Inspite of Raju's opposition,
party gave him the ticket
Ranga won the election
A battle between two strengths
ignited a communal strife
The leader walked showing the path
He is the king of every heart
Every step raised his glory
There's none to oppose him
Vangaveeti..Vangaveeti..Vangaveeti.
Vangaveeti..Vangaveeti..Vangaveeti.
This is the power of Vangaveeti
The protective intelligence
The aggressive call
Creates fear and respect
Vangaveeti..Vangaveeti..Vangaveeti.
Vangaveeti..Vangaveeti..Vangaveeti.
Vangaveeti..Vangaveeti..Vangaveeti.
Vangaveeti..Vangaveeti..Vangaveeti.
Raju sir knows very well that
enemys enemy is friend
He implemented this principle and invited Murali
who was with vengeance on Ranga
Come Murali...sit
Its okay sir
Are you thinking I am relaxing
listening to epic verses?
It is not an epic related to death...
it is an epic related to battle
Only after listening to this,
Arjuna won the big battle.
You know right?
I am not aware of such things sir
For some reason...I felt like seeing you
That is why I called for you
How are you
You know very well sir
Yes...of course
Even I used to think peace brings peace
But after listening to epic verses
these days, I understood
Sword is the answer to sword
Dont worry Murali
Your good days will come...
you will get what you want
As told in epic, you do your duty,
I will be behind you
Understood?
When Murali was burning with vengeance
and getting equally frustrated with helplessness,
the words from Raju gave him
immense strength.
He became a hungry Lion
and started hunting
and killing every single person responsible
for the death of his brother Gandhi
You..
Rage...
This rage doesnt stop
Ash...
Lives end up in ash
These are swords without mercy
Filled with rage
These are powers possessed so blindly
That they can kill death
Run...
Slicing one muscle per sword
Kill...Just Kill!
Chase...
And slicing the bodies into pieces
Kill...Just Kill!
Call of death!
A painful scream!
No care for anything
Kill! Just kill!
Rage...
This rage doesnt stop
Ash...
Lives end up in ash
Everyone becoming the Lord of death
And creating dreadful consequences
Like a demon.. Like a punisher
If he comes
Drenching the soil with blood
Heart struggles to beat
Kill! Just Kill!
Life struggles to survive
Kill! Just Kill!
Violence for violence damaged
the nest like life
The bird like life flew for ever
Those are the lives of these beings
Rage...
This rage doesnt stop
Ash...
Lives end up in ash
These are swords without mercy
Filled with rage
These are powers possessed so blindly
That they can kill death
Run...
Slicing one muscle per sword
Kill...Just Kill!
Chase...
And slicing the bodies into pieces
Kill...Just Kill!
Call of death! A painful scream!
No care for anything
No room for... Mercy
Kill! Just kill!
Where did he escape?
Go! Search for him!
He looked so innocent...
he even danced in our wedding
I cannot believe that young boy
killed our people so brutally
It is true that Nehru compromised with you
But...Nehru cannot control Murali
I feel Murali is doing all this
without Nehrus knowledge
Mr Mohan Rao...you are speaking naively
How can a person be ignorant of
what his younger brother is doing?
If we keep quiet,
one day they will attack us
Madam...Ranga is a leader
He has to watch every step he takes
Nehru may know this or not
But my people getting killed is true
Just because I am in politics, I will not sit
silent when my people are being killed
Murali got his revenge,
the scores are settled
But if this continues,
I will wipe out his entire family
Convey this as my word to Nehru
Okay Ranga
I will tell that.
I dont blame Ranga for thinking
I know everything
Since he doesnt know Muralis nature,
if I were in his place, I would think the same
You have seen how he shouted on
me that day
I will talk to Murali and
ensure this doesnt repeat
Convey this as my word to Ranga
Around this time,
a new regional party emerged giving rise
to interesting political dynamics
Hail ATR!
Hail ATR!
Hail ATR!
Nehru joined the party and won as an MLA
With his brother's victory,
Murali began to expand his power
He went to every corner to remove
Rangas party presence
He did not hesitate to beat and kill Ranga's
supporters and sought his revenge in many ways
Vengeance! Vengeance! Vengeance! Vengeance!
A burning vengeance!
A burning vengeance!
Rage! Rage! Rage! Rage! Rage!
Every nerve filled with fire of rage
Every nerve filled with fire of rage
It doesnt die till you kill
It doesnt cool till you die
It doesnt die till you kill
It doesnt cool till you die
Vengeance! Vengeance! Vengeance! Vengeance!
A burning vengeance!
Rage! Rage! Rage! Rage! Rage!
Every nerve filled with fire of rage
Chasing and beating to death
Breaking bones and joints
Jabbing a knife in the stomach
Pulling out the intestines
Striking with the sickle
Tearing open the heart
Aiming on the spine
Striking down and burying
Despite killing till the rage dies
Will this vengeance ever die?
Despite killing upto the satisfaction
Will it soothe the soul...
will it soothe the soul of my brother
Vengeance! Vengeance! Vengeance! Vengeance!
A burning vengeance!
Rage! Rage! Rage! Rage! Rage!
Every nerve filled with fire of rage
Slitting the throat
Drenching the soil with blood
Separating the body
Hanging the head
Preparing the pyre
Lighting it up with fury
Burning it completely
Turning a generation into ashes
Despite killing till the rage dies
Will this vengeance ever die?
Despite killing upto the satisfaction
Will it clear my mother's grief...
my mother's grief
Will it clear my mother's grief...
my mother's grief
Hello.
Hello.
Hello...my name is Murali
I am younger brother of Gandhi,
the person who got your marriage done
Even I sang and danced at your wedding
We come from a respectable family
Whatever we do, we inform and do
Your husband...Mr Ranga
I am going to butcher him
I will slice him to pieces
in the middle of the road
Please prepare yourself for
becoming a widow
Bye.
Your guess is right Ratna
Nehru-Murali are doing this together
We must do something
Ratna! What happened?
I feel situation is not
in our favour Ranga
What happened?
Tell me! What happened!
Murali called
And?
Try to understand Ranga
If they are calling our home
and threatening us
It means those who are behind them
are more powerful than us
I am scared Ranga
It is better to be watchful
I am really very scared
Dont worry...
our leader will take care
None of you should sleep
till Murali is dead
No sleep!
There is no link between this person
and our story
But his casual statement that Murali is
going to Nellore for a work
was overheard by Rangas person
The moment the news reached Ranga,
he fixed the time for Muralis death
The most important information needed
for killing is where the target can be found and when
The movements of Muralis gang in Nellore were
constantly monitored by Rangas gang
A detailed update was being
given to Ranga
Rangas action team got the key information that
Murali and gang started their return to vijayawada
Long Live Murali!
Long Live Murali!
Long Live Murali!
Long Live Murali!
Long Live Murali!
Long Live Murali!
One who is born has to die
But how he dies matters
Be strong! We will meet soon
I need to speak to you
Long Live Murali!
Long Live Murali!
Long Live Murali!
Stay outside
Party lost a vital strength
This is not just your loss...
it is everyones
Be strong Nehru!
Mr Venkat...
Sir.
investigate this case with personal priority
Okay sir.
Investigation has already started sir...
we will catch the killers in 3 days
Nehru..control yourself.
Control yourself.
Our party chief is
thinking about you only
We are with you,
you have to move on bravely
Dont be sad
Ramu...
Sir.
tell Mr Vinay to come to my chamber, ok?
Okay sir.
Be strong
You dont worry...
I will take care of everything
Okay?
Come sir...
Make way
Lakshmi
The way mom looked at me
while serving food
It looked as if she was saying
The assassins of your brothers
are celebrating
and you are sitting here
having food shamelessly
Do you feel the same?
So...you also think the same?
Because her sons got killed,
she wishes revenge as a mother
That is her selfishness
But I wish for your safety and life
This is my selfishness
Why would both of us think alike?
the excessive and increasing gang wars in
Vijayawada after the death of Murali has to end
The high command in the government
gave a stern order
It has crossed the limits...
no...this should not continue
Meanwhile, there was news that Ranga is preparing for
a fast unto death agitation in support of weaker sections
This laid the foundation for
plotting Rangas assassination
Ranga! Situation is not looking good
Not all days are ours
Setting up a tent in open road for
your agitation is very dangerous
We need be very careful
What will they do? Will they kill me?
We are not in power Ranga
Government has removed
our security as well
We cannot go everywhere
with our security
Not only that...
your enemies have increased
Your popularity is your enemy
What do you mean?
Thats the way it is
Your popularity has crossed Vijayawada
and spread to many parts of the state
It has increased your following...
and your enemies as well
We must be careful
I am peoples representative
Fighting for their rights
is my responsibility
Forgetting my responsibility out
of fear that something will happen to me
is not just cowardice but incapability
Silence is a weapon
It has a rule
Each word is a hymn
It can do magic
Each word is a hymn
It can do magic
Valour...fortitude...
Become a burden when they break
Enmity...rivalry
Can create havoc
The bitterness in humans
The poison in their hearts
Leads to an aimless destination
No...there is no mercy
Cruelty has crossed the limit
The human forest is deadliest
Where is peace?
Where is unity?
There is only grief
in endless violence
Only the peace of a graveyard
will prevail in society
The peace of a graveyard
Inner peace
Inner peace
Inner peace
Oh Goddess! The mother of mothers!
Oh Goddess! The symbol of wrath!
Oh Goddess! The rider of tiger!
Oh Goddess!
Oh Goddess in stone!
See this act of bloodshed!
Oh Goddess who lives on the hill!
Please stop this violence!
Goddess!

The river which flows pleasantly
Is now overflowing with blood
Will your blessing fill
the world with peace?
Will your mercy protect us forever?
Oh Goddess! The mother of mothers!
Oh Goddess! The symbol of wrath!
Oh Goddess! The rider of tiger!
Please open your eyes

Ranga..
Ranga..
Ranga..

Rangas death turned Vijayawada
into a blazing furnace
His ardent followers started burning the streets
and turned the city into a graveyard
They attacked the houses of opponents
It took a very long time for
the fires of arson to cool down
Truth be told, even today
many hearts are burning with rage
Many speculations came up regarding the
conspirators of Rangas killing
But till today,
nobody knows the actual truth
Except the Goddess of Vijayawada
But she will not open her mouth
Though she is the witness to many gangsters
taking birth, growing and dying
Without revealing anything on her face...
she is sitting still...
The Goddess of Goddess!
Oh Goddess! The mother of mothers!
Oh Goddess! The symbol of wrath!
Oh Goddess! The rider of tiger!
Oh Goddess! Please open your eyes
Oh Goddess in stone!
See this act of bloodshed!
Oh Goddess who lives on the hill!
Please stop this violence!
Goddess!
Goddess!
The river which flows pleasantly
Is now overflowing with blood
Will your blessing fill
the world with peace?
Will your mercy protect us forever?
Oh Goddess! The mother of mothers!
Oh Goddess! The symbol of wrath!
