to restrain them?

Are you angry about them

falling all over him?

Or sad you are unable to?!

Did you notice this, chief minister?

Look at the attention he is

receiving from all the girls here?

We must fix the perfect

alliance for him at once

Otherwise like the 'gopikas'

drawn to Lord Krisna...

...how many girls will

flock towards our prince?

Wonder how many zenanas

we may have to build

Prince of Kakatiya kingdom Rudradeva

Long live!

The curiosity of

Rudradeva's whereabouts

And his enigmatic appearance

to be considered on one hand

After my grandfather

King Singhana died...

...my brother Krishna Bhupathi ascended

the throne on the other hand

We were forced to

play a waiting game

We cannot wait any longer

First we should ride rough shod

over our enemy using our intelligence

Rising from the highlands of Devagiri...

...the rivers Krishna, Godavari,

Manjira flowing into Orugallu land

...are our new weapons

Stop the rivers that serve as life source

flowing into the Kakatiya kingdom

Build dams

Sacrifice those who restrain

your efforts to the Goddess of that dam

Without water, instead

of falling at our feet...

...will the Kakatiyas die hiccupping?

Wait and watch

With just the wave of my hand...

...how I, Mahadeva, will reduce

the Kakatiyas to tears

Without even a drop of water

we are facing severe drought

We are suffering without water

to drink or even 1 square meal a day

It's better to die in war

than in this gnawing hunger

We are ready to die

Why are you retreating, prince?

We will fight!

But not to die

To make our next generation live

Afflicting our lands with

drought, hunger and thirst...

...Mahadev of Devagiri has

stopped the flow of the rivers

He can stop the rivers

But can he stop

the rain by fencing it?

Will raindrops not fall?

Won't leaves sprout?

Will our land not be lush green?

Rain water is enough for us

We will store rain water in reservoirs

To save rain water

as per Kakatiya lineage...

...in the name of King Ganapati Deva

'Ganapa Samudram'

In the name of the king's sisters

'Paiyamba Sagaram'

and 'Raja Samudram'

'Rudra Samudram'

in the name of our prince

The task of building

reservoirs has begun

We are dying of thirst here

And you claim digging a well

will provide us water

That is the reason

we are organizing...

...canals to be dug

and channelized

Water will be provided

for agriculture

Until this water scarcity is solved

we abolish all taxes

Until we are able to

stand on our own feet...

...we have no time

to think of war

After that, the battlefield

is never too far

Only if you live that long!

Don't dig lakes

Dig your own grave first

Not just water

Our king Mahadeva will

destroy every blade of grass

Long live

King Mahadeva!

Mahadeva's men have

sneaked into our land

You dare stop our water?

We will gather the blood of

your Devagiri conspirators...

...we will wash our hands

in our Kakatiya waters

Even if a hundred Mahadevas arise...

...one prince Rudradeva will do

to destroy injustice

Long live Rudradeva

Prince of Kakatiya!

(cheering continues)

Well done, Rudradeva

For a valiant man like you...

...laying siege once is not enough

Let many obstacles

befall you because of me

Only then will the taste buds of

our enmity enjoy the flavor

Soldiers of Devagiri entered

our city yesterday

How do we know Mahadeva

won't attack our fort tomorrow?

Orugallu that stands

without protection...

...even God cannot save!

True, even God cannot save

our land that lacks protection

King Ganapati Deva,

my father's wonderful dream...

...was to fortify and strengthen

the Kakatiya defenses

He wanted to build

7 walls around our fort

Let us start to complete

the 7 walls to our fort now

'The son who excels his father'

You are a fine example

of this, Rudradeva

Armor for the warrior

Fortified walls for the kingdom

Your deed will be etched in history

This will not find

a place in history

The king himself was unable to

finish building the walls of our fort

Wonder why our prince is in haste

or what spurns his anger?

Is all this even possible, prince?

When ambition is strength and

hard work is in each breath...

...'impossible' does not even exist

Walls made of stone, gravel,

sand, iron, thorn...

Shell lime and sand plaster

And finally bamboo

Finish building these 7 walls

with immediate effect

Your wish is our command

Hit hard

Heave-ho!

Strike it strong

Heave-ho

Pull with force

Heave-ho!

Speed up

Heave ho!

Dig deep

Heave ho!

To raise funds to

build the 7 walls...

...there are 2 special features

in this festive event

Whoever scales up

this bronze pillar...

...that represents the magnificence

of our Kakatiya dynasty

...will be awarded the title,

'Brave heart, bravest of the brave'

The second feature

Gona Varada Reddy,

son of Lakkumaiah Reddy...

...and Anamika Devi, daughter of

Yelikikona Reddy of Adavoni

...will be united in matrimony

graced by his Majesty

Not just 2 hearts

2 kingdoms will merge

to become one

We offer our wedding gifts

as a royal fund

Bravo! Lakkumaiah Reddy!

Instead of contributing

from your treasury...

...you burden the people

God's will that will end well

Let the contest for

the Brave heart begin

I wish the same too

First is the contest

Only then the wedding

After the wedding,

we get the real gold

Fake gold for the treasury

Son Varada, even if you eat mud

this title is only for you

Let the contest begin

Come

I am your husband

No matter what!

Come, dear

Is there no brave man in the entire

Kakatiya kingdom to scale this pillar?

Bravest of the brave

in Kakatiya land

Long live Brave heart!

Praise be to the bravest of

the brave in Kakatiya land

Amazing

Warrior, your feat is unparalleled

Who may you be?

State your name

and your origin

And claim your award

Not answering is equal to

disrespecting the king

We give you another chance

because you are the winner

Answer!

Who are you?

kOtai Sandiveera

(cheering)

(cheering continues)

'The way you swirl your sword...'

'...looks like you will be my only rival

in this kingdom, Ganna Reddy'

'Gona Ganna Reddy!'

Like his father and my brother

Gona Buddha Reddy...

...I thought Gona Ganna Reddy

would be an ally of the Kakatiyas

But he is getting ready

to oppose us

He changes into a robber and grabs

the riches and lives of minor chieftains

Yes, indeed

kOtai Sandiveera

A lot of people

seem to know about me

Many who have seen me

face to face are no longer alive

Long live Brave heart!

Be quiet

Scaling this pillar,

scratching your back

Stamping mud

Do you call these a challenge?

Amulet on my hip thread!

Can't one who is equipped to

milk a tiger do the same to a cow?

Tell us straight to our face

Why did you come here?

I will tell you

My father's brother betrayed

my father and killed him

I let him live

The king who was

supposed to protect...

...failed in his duties

I ignored that as well
