Where is Ravi?- lnside.

They both say it is him.

The one who parked petrol tanker

and the one who hired car are the same.

I'll close the door.

I'll close the door.

I'll close the door.

screw lose.- For whom?

The door.

Go.

Can't you open the door?

Why make me open it?

Went to bed so soon?

He has no feelings.

I heard some noise.

It's mine.

It was pricking my head,

so I kept it there.

It was suffocating.

Do you think, to open this door,

I opened the windows & tried to

open the doors with the hair pin.

I never said that.

you don't have to say that.

your looks are enough.

you look at me like

a police looking at a criminal.

That's how my looks are.

When you look at my friends,

you give some heroic looks.

I'm not giving any heroic looks.

But you are exposing

like the heroines from evening.

stop showing off.

I can't bear that.

you....sh*t!

you don't have to break your head.

If I keep this behind the door,

don't have to look at this Miss lndia.

What is it?- A chair.

What for?

Everything here are lose.

I meant the screws.

The door will not open

if I keep it behind it.

Why the chair?

Instead nail the door with

some piece of wood.

If that is not enough,

inform grandfather to remove

the door & build a wall.

Then, you don't have to

look at my face.

I'm crying but you never

tried to console me.

Actually poori...

No. Don't console me

after I told you.

Look.

If you really like me,

you wouldn't have stopped

even if I told you to do so.

you never liked me.

But I was after you

all these days.

I called you "fiance"

so many times,

but you never showed

any love for me.

poori...

Not now.

you are tall & handsome.

you can speak English.

Any girl will fall for you.

But no one looks at me.

Why not?

Forget about others,

did you care to see me?

Did you ever consider

me as a woman?

What are you talking, poori?

Have you ever told me that

I look good in these clothes?

I wish to. But it won't look good.

Did you notice the clothes

I'm wearing?

Do you think I'm blind?

Tell me the color of my long skirt?

Don't look down. Just tell me.

What is the relation between the two?

Who said you are not beautiful?

you...you said that.

I was just...

Don't lie that you were joking.

That wasn't a joke. It is true.

Then, I didn't know that

you were so beautiful.

I'm the same even now.

But I'm not.

We see moonbeam everyday.

Only sometimes we feel

it is beautiful.

But it's the same everyday.

The change is not there.

It is here.

Didn't get me, right?

I broke the wall because

someone ogled at you.

I hit him, just because he...- Bujji.

I hit Bujji.

How do you want me to

express my love?

I'm not like others.

I don't know to live.

Only now, I'm learning to live.

still didn't get me?

you were worried

why the door hasn't opened.

On the other side of the door,

I was waiting for the door to open.

That's the difference between us.

ADITYA:

yes true...

I like you...

This minute...

I realized the truth...

The screen of chillness

will vanish now...

you know, don't you?

Do you've to ask

what you know already?

Why don't you come out

before I ask you?

Is it enough if I whisper

into your ears?

Heart may refuse to

accept your rejection...

Though you drive it away,

it refuses to accept no from you...

you may come every time

you see me...

you may arrest me

in your charm...

I think it's wrong to be so

stubborn in spurning me...

you may lose something

if you don't allow me to be alone...

My heart will not hear me...

you know, don't you?

Do you've to take the risk

knowing it very well?

I'm running through a storm

to an unknown destination...

I've no time to admire

the beauty of flowers...

Did I ask you details?

I just asked you to hear

my heart beat...

Move away...

don't follow me blindly...

Accept me...

I'll be your life partner...

a wild stream...

you know, don't you?

Do you've to drown

me knowing well?

serve them tea.

For whom?

someone has come

to buy the farmland.

Are we selling the farmland?

How can we conduct marriages

without selling the farmlands?

We need 10 lakhs for

your sister's marriage.

so, they are selling 5 acres.

3 lakhs for an acre.

It is close to the water canal.

40 bags of rice per acre.

you are in great need of money.

I can't give you more

than 2 lakhs per acre.

He can't give.

Just because we need money,

you are asking for low price.

That's how it goes.

They buy for pennies

and sell it for dollars.

Never mind if you don't

understand the joke.

But we need the money

within a week. Understood?

I'll give you full cash as soon as

you sign the documents.

sure, he will.

We are an educated family.

We put only signatures.

If your grandson also...- yes...

He will also sign.

It is not only about signing,

but there shouldn't be

any problem in future.

If he is angry on me for buying

the land at low price...

I can't believe you

selling the land...

Got the stamp papers?

yes. But I would like to stop

the deal right now.

Leave me. I can't buy your land.

- He can't.

What happened?

I don't know whether

he didn't like me or my rate.

But his grandson is not

interested to sell the land.

please leave me.

Bye.

you could've told us before

if you were not interested.

you didn't have to dishonor us.

Why are you still standing here?

As long as he is in this house,

no marriages & no birthdays.

you were celebrating

pardhu's arrival, right?

That will be the last function

in this house.

We don't care who he is.

Who is it?- pardhu.

What is it?

I want to talk to you.

Whatever you did in the morning,

isn't that enough?

you threatened him showing

your finger, didn't you?

If he buys the land,

will you hit him?

Considers himself a big shot!

How much do you want?

How much do you want to

conduct Lalitha's marriage?

10 lakhs.

Will you give it?

Till now, you've lost

too many things.

I don't want you to lose

your land too.

Chanchalguda Jail...where sadhu

is imprisoned for past 8 years.

I was going through your file.

you killed a local leader

in a meeting.

A murder took place recently

very similar to that of yours.

The murder of opposition

leader siva Reddy.

Can you help us?

A professional has done it.

How can you say that?

Telescopic gun.

shot on forehead.

What would be the price?

1 or 2 crores.

so much?

Instead of this job, one such job

will make us settle in life.

Where will they hide

so much money?

In bank.

In bank...?

Even you didn't suspect we'll

deposit in bank, right?

It's true.

All the leads in this

case are dead ends.

An accident occurred near the place

where siva Reddy was murdered.

A car & a petrol tank collided.

The strange thing about this is,

both the vehicles were

hired by the same person.

It is him.

He also died in the accident.

Our case now stands at this point.

He will not kill.

He worked for me.

He plans only the escape.
