She'll give millions

for sacrificing a hen...

She'll give bungalows

for sacrificing a goat...

You got down in haste and

her silly drawing book?

You're too much.

He's trying to convert

rail friendship into love.

What are you saying?

Do you want me to believe he came

Coincidentally meeting your father,

coincidentally coming...

Stop that sweet nothings.

Atleast till you're married.

My fate!

Constable took bribe from me for

not having RC book for bicycle.

lf you're so innocent,

how can you survive in this world?

Why are you standing there?

- You are...?

My elder brother-in-law Mallasuri.

How can l not know him?

He's the first man l met here.

Father, please come aside.

- Emergency, father.

First, let's have lunch.

Baireddy, you too come.

You carry on.

all of them strangely.

What's this urgency, son?

We've a guest...

- He's not a guest, father.

He's Raghava Rao's son

who killed my uncle.

What are you waiting for, father?

Let's hack him to death.

No Baireddy.

- What are you saying, father?

l'm also ten times more

furious than you to kill him.

My hand is itching to hack him

into two right away.

But...

l'll not spill blood in my home.

l'll not kill the guest in my home

whom l served food with my hands.

Can we spare him because

he's our guest?

l'll not spare him.

The moment he steps out of our threshold,

his body and head must get separated.

We've been waiting 25 long years

for this moment,

can't we wait for few more hours?

Father!

lnform all our boys!

- Okay, father.

He lives till he's inside the threshold,

the moment he crosses it,

cut his throat!

You asked elderly man to

leave the dining table,

what's so urgent work?

Please have some curd.

- No way.

l think my stomach will burst.

Where is Baireddy?

He's on job.

Would you like to chew betel leaf and nut?

No way, no place even

to swallow air.

Uncle, let's play hide and seek game.

- Okay.

Children, don't disturb the guest.

Tell me now,

why did you want to meet me?

l've some land here,

l want you to sell it for me.

Not a big deal.

Shall we go right away?

- Okay sir.

Grandpa, you're always like this.

Never allow us to play.

- Bad grandpa.

Hey, shut up.

Why are you going out in

this hot sun?

Can't you go out evening?

- He may get late.

Nothing like that sir,

work is there always.

Kid, get a towel.

ls this for you or the kids?

- You're doing too much.

l'm sure he'll not leave

the home till tomorrow.

Aunty, you must blindfold first.

No need, anyway your aunt

is blindfolded now.

You!

Aunt...this side...

Appu, this side...

- Appu, this side...- Aunt...here....

Little further...

Uncle! You're out if you step out.

Brother! Now you must seek.

Come...come l say.

You caught him well. He was hiding

outside withoutjoining the game.

Don't move.

Stand properly.

Here...here...

Mother!

l mean may be your family

has some feud there.

Father, please come aside.

What?

- Emergency, father.

Let's have lunch first.

- Baireddy, you too come.

What's this brother?

We've the enemy in hand,

without killing,

what are we waiting for?

What's wrong to kill him inside

or outside for revenge?

Don't rush, Baireddy.

Never go against father's word.

We must respect our tradition.

Let him step out of the threshold,

let's hack him, bloody!

Now, it's your turn.

- Children, enough of the game.

Why grandpa?

- He must leave now.

No problem, let's play
