Are you a creature of illusion?

Or is illusion your creation?

Are you a part of the body?

Or is the body a part of you?

Is space within the house?

Or the house within space?

Or are both space and the

house within the seeing eye?

Is the eye within the mind?

Or the mind within the eye?

Or are both the eye

and mind within you?

Does sweetness lie in sugar?

Or is sugar in the sweetness?

Or do both sweetness

and sugar lie in the tongue?

Is the tongue within the mind?

Or the mind within the tongue?

Or are both the tongue

and the mind within you?

Does the fragrance lie in the flower?

Or the flower in the fragrance?

Or do both the flower and the

fragrance lie within the nostrils?

I cannot say,

O Lord Adikeshava of Kaginele,

O peerless one,

are all things within you alone?

The patient has been here

for 3 months... Vegetative state

Sometimes we observe brain activity.

He is under continual medication...

...but nothing helps.

This is a ventilator...

to pump oxygen.

He cannot breathe on his own'?

No sir, his life is

controlled by these machines.

Hmmm... If I remove this,

there should be no problem right?

No patient, no case...

Yes sir...

...He will die peacefully.

Poor fellow...

why don't you remove it'?

Are you scared of God?

Camera...

First it needs to be determined

whether it is a murder or suicide attempt.

This is definitely

a murder attempt sir!

Why would he want to commit suicide?

Even if the investigation leads

to a result, what can the court do?

Euthanasia is banned

in our country anyway right?

If a body cannot survive

without life support...

...the court may allow it.

- Sir...

- Oh, Kempraju, how are you'?

- I am fine sir!

- You are looking very smart!

And yet no one wants to marry me...

Hmm... what is this

new headache?

What is the boss saying?

Sir, I have told him

the investigation is on...

But he is behind some detective.

Have you shown him

the investigation reports?

You know him

he won't bother reading.

Hmm... how is the new detective?

I'm meeting him for

the first time too.

Please come, sir...

Your boss has called me

to a bar early in the morning?

Ask him yourself, Sir!

Please come, Mr. Deepak...

- How are you, sir'?

- Sit down.

Meet Mr. Sanjay from Mumbai Branch.

This is Mr.

Deepak from Crime Branch.

We are working on this case.

Give us some time...

we will come

out with the results.

Don't take this personally...

the minister is under pressure.

In such cases,

a lot of people will lay claims...

this is a very sensitive case.

- OK sir.

- Sanjay, he will brief you about the case.

Please discuss with him.

Sir!

Does he know Kannada?

I know a little sir...

I have assigned your

old partner to your team.

- Thank you, sir!

- I hope you give me quick results.

Hey! wake up!

Pucchi! I gave you a box that day,

Where is it?

Which box, brother?

The box I gave you

for safekeeping...

That brown box...

Brother, what are you doing?

You dirty fellow!

I asked you to clean up this place!

...Brother, there is nothing

in the box, it's all very dirty...

It's all very dirty...

Don't reveal my name to anyone!

Don't tell anyone what we did!

Take this money and go to hell!

Brother, I too will come with you.

I'll kill you if I spot you again!

Leave this place quickly!

What are you still doing here?

Do you want to die?

Move aside!

Brother, what are you doing?

Kerosene is expensive!

Oh God!

Brother...

Don't kill yourself brother!

'MW , what happened?

Get up! Make way!

Hey you! Stop!

Do you see this part?

Please read this...

After I finished work

at the talkies at night...

I was heading home. I was

having food from a food cart...

a girl was going

on a scooter with her father

I was watching them.

And when she went a little ahead,

her bag fell off.

These are cinema folks,

this must be a story.

What is this?

Hello...?

OK I am coming.

Tell me who else is there?

Spit it out!

Sir, I don't know what

you are talking about!

I don't know anything about this,

please let me go!

Tell me how many

people are involved!

Tell me the truth!

Get up I say!

You're going to get it today.

You don't know anything right?

See what I'll do...

Sir, please come here. He's there.

Please come, Mr.

Sanjay, welcome to my real office.

Did he reveal anything?

We are preparing him...

come let's see.

Hey, what happened?

These rascals are hale and hearty.

My hand is a little sore...

Did he say anything?

I'll make them squeal!

Ask anything you want.

Sanjay, all yours.

Look darling,

answer all his questions correctly.

What is this?

I don't know... I don't know!

Sir, he's out...

What now?

The other piece is there.

It is very soft, it will speak.

Hey item...

will you speak up or what?

What is this?

What?

Lucia...

Ninety lakh damned

fools in Bangalore...

like sheep in a pen!

Me, I am another innocent lamb.

My name is Nikki...

...hey! Not lkki! Nikki!

I am from a small

village near Mandya.

I got trapped in this

bloody circus three years ago.

Thank god, my parents stayed back.

No worries about accommodation...

Thanks to my chuddy buddies.

Our Shankranna,

he owns this talkies...

I am a torch shiner in the theater.

The rogue, Shankranna,

has great affection for me.

Like a son!

Hey! Go do your work I say! Go man!

Life is great, but...

I can't sleep at night!

"LOVE POEM"

Look at that guy pissing on the wall

Let's take his trip... time pass!

Yes sir.

Bring him here.

Right, sir.

Hands up!

What... who?

- Up! Raise your hand.

- Didn't do anything...

- Up! Raise your other hand up.

- Can't sir! I'll wet my pants!

- Up with the other hand...

- Cannot sir!

I'll shoot you I say!

Haha... come, sir is calling.

Tie up your pants

before they fall off!

Go that way!

Get over here!

What are you doing out this late?

Sir... couldn't sleep...

that's why I stepped out sir.

Where are you from?

From a village near Mandya, sir!

Get into the jeep,

let's go to the station.

What have I done sir?

Standing in front of a girl's poster at

night... indecent behavior in public!

Which girl sir?

Sir, I haven't done anything sir,

let me go. I'll go home quietly.

- Why are you laughing sir?

- Are you drunk?

Sir, upon my mother,

I don't drink anything but water.

Open your mouth!

Thoo! How long since

you brushed your teeth?

Sir, my honor...

Drive!

- Sir... sir... Sir!

- Drive!

Sir! My loincloth!

Sir... sir... Sir!

Inspector sir,

please sir, give it back!

Oh damned fool, please give it back!

Sir... sir... Sir!

Have you no wife or children?

Take my shorts as well!

Had it been my village,

I would have taken your trip!

Hey!...call him here!

Got a cup of coffee or tea?

What is this midnight

comedy of yours brother?

Damn me as well!

No sleep, and so much heat!

I come out,

and run into these rascals!

You can't sleep?

Every morning, I feel like an owl,

my head feels all wrong.

We have sleeping pills... want some?

Pills for sleep? Really?
