Priest! as soon as my daughter's wedding

is fixed with the MP's son.

I promised to garland the Lord

with these notes

Drop it in that box there.

- You are amusing.

I don't want to put it in the box...

I promised to garland the deity myself.

Ok, give it to me.

I will put it.

Are you playing up?

I promised I would garland Him.

How can you do that?

Sir, don't misunderstand me.

It is improper for devotees to enter

the sanctum and touch the main deity.

Hey! You can touch the deity...

But I cannot?

- Forgive me, sir.

Between the food and the mouth

there should be a hand.

In the same way...

Between the devotee and the Divine

there has to be an expert priest.

Are you mad?

I am a central Minister.

I am a people's ruler.

The one inside is the world ruler.

He rules even over you.

ASP! Who is this fellow?

What is this?

I must garland the deity.

Keep your stupid traditions aside.

Give way.

As long as I am alive.

I will not demean the temple practices.

Will you move aside

or shall I drag you away?

We come into God's presence

to shed our ego and temptation...

Not to exhibit them.

- You stupid!

ASP!

- Down! Down!

Show respect to priests!

- He should apologize!

Priests need justice!

- Give them justice!

Priests need justice!

- Give them justice!

ASP!

- Down! Down!

ASP!

- Down! Down!

ASP!

- Down! Down!

Police injustice!

- Should end right now!

Police injustice!

- Should end right now!

ASP!

- Should apologize to the priest!

Wait... Wait... wait!

All of you be calm.

I will talk to the ASP

and solve your problem.

Don't lose your control.

Narasimha!

Hey! Stop him there.

Sir! He is the trustee of the temple.

Sir! As long as I remember,

I never saw Brahmins being humiliated

this way or going on a demonstration.

So what?

- You have done something wrong.

You better apologize to them.

Never.

I won't

I don't know if you are aware...

In the hundreds of years

of daily worship here,

for the first time no temple

is open in this holy land.

That spells woe.

If you don't stop this,

it is a disaster for people;

for you too.

What? Are you threatening me?

- No!

I am warning you!

- What can you warn me about?

Sir!

Charge!

Tear gas!

Water cannons!

Mr. ASP! What atrocity is this?

You think they are humans or animals?

Stop it.

They won't mend this way.

Let one or two die.

They will run away like dogs.

Will you shoot? Whom?

'Let all be happy.'

The Brahmins who bless

the country and it's people.

If you find the minister great, salute

him, give him drinks, provide him bed.

But if you try to demean the traditions,

your sins will crush you

into the abyss.

Inner sanctum is like

a mother's womb.

It is not the seat of your ego

or his official residence.

It is a temple worshipped by all.

Only the priest has the right

to touch the principal deity.

I'm not educated like you.

I only know this much.

- What?

What is their greatness?

Anyone can perform the ritual they can.

- They cannot.

There is a qualification for that.

How to perform the rites?

What is idol worship?

How to summon the Gods

with the power of incantations?

How to present it to the devotee?

That kind of vedic and divine knowledge

only the priest would have.

When one is blinded by ignorance

and blinded spiritually the one

who removes the darkness and opens

the eye of knowledge is the priest.

To humiliate such a respectable

Brahmin is wrong.

I am not educated like you.

I only know this much.

Washing the idol, lighting the lamp.

Breaking the coconut and

giving the 'aarti'...

This is indeed a great task!

Stop it!

English education should not

destroy Indian culture.

It's wrong.

Understand the worship of God

before you talk.

Adoration, chanting, repetition, eulogy,

meditation, consecration, anointing,

incantation,

seat, offering,

Sandal powder, sacred rice,

flower, incense, lamp,

oblation, offertory, libation,

summoning, welcome,

feet cleansing, clothes, bath,

salutation, send-off...

These are the parts of worship.

What do you and your minister

know of these?

All that you know is to swallow

people's money

and salute the higher ranks.

Except the ritualistic God worship,

these people know nothing.

Devotion is their profession.

That is their God given power.

I am not educated like you.

I know only this much.

Nonsense! All that is mere trash.

It is not trash. It is the truth.

Incantation is Brahmin controlled.

God is incantation controlled.

Only a doctor is entitled to surgery.

Only a priest is entitled

to temple rituals.

The heart keeps the body alive.

The temple keeps the country alive.

You have wronged. Apologize to him.

If I don't?

am a stubborn man.

I am also harsh.

I suffer silently.

I also take lives blindly.

I am not educated like you.

I know only this much.

Apologize...do it.

Never.

What are you doing?

Don't shoot.

Don't shoot. Hey!

Apologize!

I have wronged.

Please forgive me.

Let's go, sir.

- Son.

May you live long!

See you, sir.

Get into the vehicle, sir.

Sir!

Who is he?

Someone scared for the first time!

What power in those eyes!

Where did he come from?

Few years ago in a wedding hall

in Visakhapatnam.

For cruelly murdering seven people...

Thota Ramireddy is sentenced

to death by hanging.

As his petition is rejected

in the Supreme Court.

He had appealed to the President.

Despite his appeal,

President had denied it.

The date of the execution

will be intimated shortly.

Visitors came for you. Make it fast.

You made me spend a lot of money saying

we will be successful in the High Court.

For success in the Supreme Court,

you made me spend much more.

What is the result?

I am not worried about money.

I am worried about my husband.

Make my husband live.

Except the God above,

no one can stop this.

You are a virtuous woman.

Only the sacred thread in your

neck would save him.

God!

Please save my husband.

In the town of Kumbhakonam in Tamilnadu.

An unprecedented demonstration

took place today.

To suppress the disturbance

arising from that, the ASP tried to fire

A commoner named Narasimha.

Stopped him to save people

and pointed the gun to the ASP

Making him apologize to the old priest

with a large crowd watching.

People are now considering

that commoner a superstar.

This incident in Kumbhakonam

which is called a temple city.

Has spread to the world like fire.

Everyone seems to be discussing it.

Madam! Sir is calling you.

Forgive me.

However hard I try

I am not able to save you.

Even now, I went to the Kali

temple..

And begged her...

take my life and let my husband live.

Don't cry, Vasantha.

I got a great wife like you.

That is my best luck.

Take my life and let my husband

live- which woman will ask that way?

You should be my wife

even in the next life.

Leave her, leave.

Leave. Leave.

Leave her, man. Let her go.

Leave her, man. Let her go.

Sorry, Vasantha. I must kill

that Narasimham.

If our son's soul has to rest in peace,
