Vangaveeti

---

A Ram Gopal Varma Film

Based on a few people

who lived in Vijayawada

three decades ago and

on incidents which happened then

Kill! Just Kill!

Kill! Just Kill!

Kill! Just Kill!

Kill! Just Kill!

One who is afraid can never become

a Gangster Vangaveeti Radha

Kill...Just Kill!

She is the Goddess who can take anybodys

life effortlessly sitting atop a hill

and looking at the Rowdies

of Vijayawada

You may be the most powerful rowdies but at

the end, your lives will become a pile of ash

despite she explained giving

the historical examples

Yet...none of them cared

Because...courage was born first

and then rowdies

One who is scared of death can

never become a rowdy

Because they dont know fear,

they are called Rowdies

The origin to this Rowdyism was a man

who held a blood drenched red flag

He dared and took an oath to change the

system that could never be changed

With a hope that their weak lives

will become strong, some joined him

The revolution lit fire even in

the toiling rickshaw pullers

Looking at them,

even the taxi drivers joined him

Eventually...hundreds joined him

To fortify this movement...

and remove few mindless opposers...

sometimes, he used his sword

He was no ordinary Rowdy...

he was the boss...

An unofficial cop...an unofficial judge

His name was...Venkata Rathnam

During that time, rowdies in many areas

called themselves as Venkata Rathnams men

Except one small time Rowdy

His name was Radha

He was fondly called as

Bus Stand Radha in his area

His surname...Vangaveeti!

Vangaveeti! Vangaveeti! Vangaveeti!

Vangaveeti! Vangaveeti! Vangaveeti!

Vangaveeti! Vangaveeti! Vangaveeti!

Vangaveeti! Vangaveeti! Vangaveeti!

This is the sword of Vangaveeti

The power of protection

This is the sword of Vangaveeti

The power of protection

My name is Radha

Without even considering he is your friend,

How dare you collect money as per your whims

What did you think...

Suri has no one?

Sir...he will die!

Spare him sir

Because of people like you...

these mishaps happen

If this repeats

I will come to your house

and kill you

If we have to change

greedy people like him...

... A revolution should come

Unless the red flag waves

on Delhi fort...

that change wont happen

What should we do with

the Gandhinagar pickpocket case?

You take care of it

Get that anti-itch lotion!

Who is he?

Bus Stand Radha!

Heard you are bashing up

everyone without thinking

Doing extortion

And not caring about

my men either!

You think that Bus Stand

is your private property?

No property is anyones

private property

What!

Who do you think of yourself?

I dont think...

I do what needs to be done

You dont event have

a matured moustache

Dont you want to live?

I am not scared of death

Stop!

Sit

Get out!

Take care of Bus Stand...

but as my person

Muscle power is important...

but an iron heart is more important

You have both!

but there is something

more important than that

This...

this is important

this is important

Think about it

Unity...brings happiness

Working for him means

you are his slave!

Nobody opposes us in

our area till today

Once we start listening

we are finished

You are right...

what do you say Yesu

Forget you and me...

what do you say Radha

Living like a small rowdy

in Bus Stand

And living like the king of Vijayawada...

there is a huge difference

We must stop thinking small...

and start thinking big

We will continue

what we are doing

But if we have someone like

Venkata Rathnam we can grow quickly

This is a history written by time..

This is a story beyond time.

This is the poison witnessed by time

Even the poison of poisons shivers with fear

Vangaveeti. Vangaveeti. Vangaveeti.

Survival depends on

the power of knives

A flame burns in every heart

Fear in every step

Spines shiver with fear

Till that time, Radhas gang was

controlling small deals in Bus Stand area

But under Venkat Rathnams shadow, they got

into the mission of controlling entire Vijayawada

Radhas intelligence, guts,

leadership made him the talk of the

town more than Venkata Rathnam

Till that time, the Vijayawada rowdies who were

disciplined under Venkata Rathnams monitoring

Were flummoxed looking at Radhas speed...

They just blacked out and backed out

The only name heard everywhere

was Radha and this

triggered a huge bout of envy

in Venkata Rathnam

This got aggravated with

those around him filling his ears

Venkata Rathnam decided

to take action before

the situation got out of hand

and called Radha

Where is sir

Got slightly delayed

You have become a big guy

isnt it?

Prepare a drink

You wait

Radha will do it...

sorry...Bus Stand Radha

For everyone!

You wanted me to come urgently

And you came an hour late

Its okay, like an old wife waiting for

her husband who is with his mistress...

Like a young wife waiting

for her old husband...

we have to wait for you

Tell me

I heard you are setting

a separate camp

When power fills your head,

you forget your origin

Thankless people

I respect you more than my father

If you truly respect me

If father does anything

Then you should be proud of your

father for what ever he does.

Otherwise you should just keep quiet

But you should not talk

against your father

Iam not like a father listening to

his son who is going against him

Come! Lets go!

Go away!

Ohh! What a scene!

That fellow overreacting,

this fellow stopping...

Anyway...own gang is own gang

Who gave you this life?

Like the saying goes

''when you give something

out of compassion, they expect

everything finally"

Bad times...

soothsayers said about it long ago

I just want to say

Little bird is chirping

Birds chirp when they

become ready for slaughter

They keep chirping again and again

Listen to me carefully!

If you wish to leave me...

you leave Vijayawada

Or...do as I say...

With your head bowed to me..

And wagging your tail

I give only one warning

And I dont give a second warning...

get out!

He who has two wives,

three children to each wife,

left the party's idealogy to dogs...

With Radha...with Radha...

I want to die

Are you mad? Crazy bugger!

You will die

Are we alive now?

Tell me!

He made Radha stand...treated him like

a worker and humiliated him

I was standing there helplessly

doing nothing...damn!

I am done! I am finished!

We must do something

We have to do something

Or else we cannot survive here

The old man called Radha

and abused him

He treated him like a labourer

With his left leg...his left leg

Left leg? Left leg!

Tell me!

It seems he took his left slipper

and hit Radha

when everyone outside is gossipping...

I felt like pouring kerosene

and kill myself

I cannot say more

Vangaveeti.. vangaveeti.

Radha, we cannot live like this

in Vijayawada

Do something Radha

Lets kill him

That word "Let's kill him" from Radha

smeared the forehead of Vijayawada

with blood for three decades

Maybe Radhas gang were inexperienced
