Akhanda 2

Camera and sound. Babu Reddy Babu. Start camera. Action! This one is nature. The other one is destruction. Hold onto that bond. Break this one. If you harm an innocent child, will the Almighty stay silent? Oh, Lord! Akhanda Rudra Shikandar Ghora. Lord Shiva. I am He. In this life, Lord Shiva is my father, and the Mother of the world, my mother. For the sake of one prayer, for all beings to be happy, they go anywhere, perform rituals, and if needed, wage wars. -Aren't you human, like us? -Never. For you, family is the world. For us, the world means family. Both are not the same. Be it hardship, tears, or even death itself, no matter where I am, in whatever state, I'll stand before you in a moment. This is my promise! We've read in the scriptures, ma'am, that whenever sin crosses its limits, the Almighty descends. Now, I've seen it's true. We thought, "Dharma protects those who protect it," was impossible in this age of Kali. So we wrote our own laws for safety. But before the Dharma he spoke of, these laws felt too small, ma'am. Mr. Perumal! Our nation is governed by law, not by personal beliefs. If someone claims to walk the path of God and slaughters hundreds on the way, the law cannot simply look away. He's… a criminal. No, ma'am. You're judging his deeds. I'm referring to his deeper purpose. When righteousness demands it, he'll destroy a hundred men. But he won't harm even an ant needlessly, ma'am. Whatever you say, Perumal, a criminal is still a criminal. -You need to take action. -Sorry, ma'am. I cannot. I'll submit my resignation. Krishnamacharya… Chaturvedi… Sorry! I know what I'm saying and why I'm saying it. -Thank you. -You may stop if you wish. We won't. Impossible! You can't stop him, ma'am. He is nature's own wrath. A weapon forged by God himself for his divine purpose. Don't try to cage lightning in your palm, ma'am. When the divine reveals himself, we bow in reverence… not pass judgment. You speak as if he's a god. Where is he now? Akhanda… Victory be upon you. As a child, you came into our arms under the grace of the Supreme. You conquered the six vices of man and attained the power of Aghora. You breathed life into decaying temples and now, into this fading society. -It is the will of the Lord. -But time won't stop there, son. Fate will test you harder than ever before. You must transcend yourself as the answer to that test. The only path ahead is the mastery of the Eight Divine Powers. This is the sacred seat, where Arjuna once prayed to Lord Shiva for the Pashupathastram, to restore dharma and change the fate of the Dwaparayuga… the Ashtalinga Rudra Peetham. By Lord Shiva's grace, the day you attain this power… Every mantra and scripture, every weapon, and formation shall bend to your command. With every step you take, they will move beside you. But the path ahead is perilous. Each seal must be performed in perfection. One misstep… and even your life is forfeited. -Salutations to Lord Shiva! -Salutations to Lord Shiva! Salutations to Lord Shiva! -General, we're ready. -Bloodbath. Swami, did you see this carnage? They wiped everyone out, Swami! You made a mistake, and your village stood by you. You wrote to my country that living under my tyranny is difficult and asked to have me removed. No mistake there. You even mocked my family, the ones guarding this border for a century. It's a bit painful. But I endured it. Then you wrote again that if I'm not dismissed… you'd side with the enemy nation. That hurt my feelings. Unbearable! Now go join India. Your Buddha's teachings can't match the power of my bullet. People bow before you, hanging on your every word. Tell them, "Death has come for your village." Tell them it looks just like me. Wherever the name "India" is spoken, tell them this death will follow. Tell that to your god as well. General, we have a serious situation. Excuse me, sir. My son, you've been posted to Galwan. -Live like a ruler, die with honor. -Yes, sir. General, your son was a brave soldier. -How many did my son kill before falling? -Sorry, sir. Just one punch from an Indian soldier brought him down. -You can't come here. -We'll come anywhere. For a hundred years, my family has guarded these borders. And yet… that nation left me without an heir. My son's death won't be wasted. I will answer it. Sir, shall we ship the bodies to Headquarters? Everybody should hear of my victories… -not my defeat. -Hail Mother India! -Hail Mother India! -Hail Mother India! -Hail Mother India! -Hail Mother India! -Hail Mother India! -Hail Mother India! Their flag is smiling. We should make it cry. -Sir? -Hail Mother India… Their flag laughs in our faces. We should make it weep! To make that possible, we must meet ex-General Chang, who faced defeat before that nation and has been waiting for its destruction. But our government won't agree. Let the government rule. I will wage war. Where is Chang? -Sir! -Where is Chang? I need to see him. I'm here to teach a lesson to the nation that killed my son… and you're reciting the Bhagavad Gita? General. To strike India, you don't just hit a corner. You go deep, into its roots. Twenty-five years… that's what I've been searching for. Where are those roots? Once… the nation that was Akhanda Bharat… even Alexander, the world conqueror, could not break it. He left with nothing but a handful of soil. Not even a force like Genghis Khan, who shook our nation to its core, could set foot on its soil. What's their courage? The Turkish and the British… who stepped in through deceit, and the help of traitors… ruled for over a thousand years. As long as they were here, when people read the Vedas, they cut out their tongues. If they listened, they poured molten lead in their ears. If they worshipped God, they cut off their heads. They destroyed temples, smashed idols, and plundered everything they found. Despite countless blows, without losing its essence, this nation still stands before the world with its eyes wide open. What's that courage? That courage is… the god they believed in. -God? -Yes. Indians believe in God so much that as soon as a child is born, they cut the cord with the mother and tie it to God. They name the child after God. They say, "God is with you." When they grow up, it's God's mercy. When they die, it's God taking them. The joy they feel is from God, and even their pain comes from God. That's why… Indians have immense courage. The courage that comes from knowing God is always behind them. What must be done now? That courage must be broken. The God in their hearts must be struck down. The people who believe that God will come to their rescue in times of trouble, we must make them believe He won't. The day they believe that, India… will break into pieces. Now tell me, how do we strike that God? Go, bring it. The weapon I created to destroy that nation was hidden by our own country out of fear. If you bring that weapon, I will show you how to strike their courage and their God. TRUTH ALWAYS TRIUMPHS Sir, this is a clear report of the conflict between the armies of the two nations near the valley. Our forces gave them a strong response. But the problem is… among those killed, there's General Zhang Li's son as well. Sir, he is the most ruthless and dangerous person I've ever seen. Now that his son is dead, imagine how vengeful he will become. In the world, our army is the most systematic and ethical. Whatever they do, it's for the nation's welfare. We are giving them complete freedom. Just make the right decision at the right time. -Yes, sir. -Yes, sir. -Sir, please have a look at this report. -Sir… You will have a press meet for the rural development program. Do not comment on this incident. Please. Hello. I am Vishal Trivedhi, the Collector of Kadapa. Yes, sir. Please come, sir. -Mr. Trivedhi. -Yes. In an hour, after the PM sir's press meet, Padmavati ma'am will meet you. -Please come. -I have a correction for the press meet. -What? -Please. It's very urgent. Ma'am, Trivedhi is here. He urgently wants to meet you before the press meet. Yes, Mr. Trivedhi. You said it's urgent. Tell me what it is. Ma'am, from the list you're about to announce, I've come to request the removal of Shantipuram. What? If that village is included in the PM Rural Development Program, it'll attract two international schools, two medical campuses, and significant developmental investment. The fate of that area will change overnight. Why should it be removed? If that name is announced, many lives will be lost, ma'am. What's the problem? As soon as you mention that name, the best of the district's officers will be sent for an area survey. As soon as the officers get there, they will find out… that it's not a village but a deadly drug dump yard. Weed cultivation across hundreds of acres. Hundreds of poor men risk their lives working there. -Students enslaved by it. -No. A cruel private Tamil Nadu gang protects it. This whole operation is run by ex-MLA Maddireddy. Cut him into pieces and feed him to the dogs. All this is being funded by Choudappa Goud from Karnataka. It's money. The Mumbai mafia runs this entire network and distributes drugs across the country. They beat our officers who saw all this and left them to die. If this came out, or if the government interfered, they'd kill our officers and send their bodies back. You should've sought the district SP's support. The SP was also part of the team, sir. Ma'am, the government can handle such things. But it's a time-consuming process. It's better if we remove the name. Besides, he says, many officers could lose their lives. It's risky, ma'am. -How much longer until the press meet? -One hour, ma'am. That's enough. Who are you calling, ma'am? Someone who can clear this problem in an hour. One person? Where is he? Oh, Demon King You don't have to doubt his existence Lord Vishnu is omnipresent You name any place, he is seen Even the demons get frightened When they hear about Chakri's presence Hey! Is your Lord Vishnu that capable? Yes, three times unbeatable, unstoppable. The one and only. Oh! Is that so? Is he present in this? Or in this? Maybe in this? -He's present everywhere, Father. -Then, ask him to come out of this pillar. Who is it? Hey! Watch your tone! Even I don't know which sound will make me laugh or make me snap! It's beyond your imagination! You've crossed the line. You're miscalculating! You think I'm some layout guy to calculate numbers? Blow out! -I'll crush you, moron! -What business is it of yours? If this territory suffers, I'll nurture it. If this territory faces danger, I'll take necessary action. If someone makes a mistake here, I'll deal with it. Frontline soldier! Kadapa, Kurnool, Chittoor, Anantapur… Every house here is mine. Every family in Rayalaseema is my family. If they face any injustice, I will not stand and watch. Hey! He is Bala Murali Krishna, MLA, right? He's here for the officers. Tear them apart. Hey! Hey, Bala Murali. I am also an ex-MLA. You're acting arrogantly because your government is in power! I'll show you! When asked what he was up to, some idiot like you once said that he'd written the number 13 and gone to sleep. For someone who works, power and positions don't matter. My power is on 24/7. Hey! I am a Kannadiga, man. I'll see your end. Karnataka is my brother's home. Wherever you are, whatever you do, always stay a Kannadiga. Kannada is true, Kannada is eternal! Haven't you heard Poet Kuvempu say this before? Krishnadevaraya, the warrior! Kanteerava Rajkumar, the brave! You don't deserve to call yourself a Kannadiga after your actions! -Go! -Hey! Who are you trying to hit? Do you know who I am? -I'll kill you. -Yeah! Kill me! Kill me! I am standing right here. Kill me! Come on! To think so highly of yourself, who are you, the savior, MGR? Or the great soul, NTR?! You're nothing special. So, shut up! I'll kill you! Right on the spot! -Get lost! -Hey! Don't you know about the Mumbai mafia? Shut up! I know more about Mumbai and Maharashtra than your father does. Maharashtra means the empire of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. It's not a place for thieves like you. Mumbai is where the saffron soars. It's not a hangout spot for scoundrels like you. Mumbai means mother. It is India's heartbeat. It is the greatest. It's the pride of this nation. Students who study should have a pen in their pocket and a book in their hands. Their minds should be filled with knowledge. Why do they have weed with them? Setting up counters in college canteens and luring the youth into intoxication, what does it bring… development or destruction? At this age, when one should be supporting their family, if fresh young blood falls prey to drugs, do you know how shattered the hearts of those parents would be? Addiction drives them to crime, blind to whose mother or sister they're hurting! With no escape and no livelihood, how many girls are left to sell their dignity? How many lives are lost in the name of honor? Even chocolates and ice creams eaten by small kids near schools are laced with weed. Does eating them bring knowledge or destruction? Governments are risking lives, trying to stop this intoxicating drug and protect the youth, and you dare oppose it? This land has suffered through tears, hardship, blood, and war. That's enough! Now, all that remains is development. Anyone who stands in its way, I will tear them apart and crush them under my feet. Brother-in-law, the Collector has arrived. Thank you, sir. You are a police officer. You've dealt with many of society's problems. If you strike together, any problem can be solved. Even if it's weed-fueled intoxication, or arrogant morons. Don't spare! -Come, let's eat. -Oh! Never mind, sir. Come, Collector sir. Come. I know what you've done. If this were possible today, it's because of you. This is not the recognition meant for you. It's the respect you truly deserve. Please, break it! Sorry, Mr. Murali. I was planning to have lunch with you after this program. But there's an unexpected disturbance in Manipur. I need to leave urgently. -We'll meet in Delhi then. -Sure, sir. What about your kids? A 17-year-old daughter. Scientist at DRDO. -What? -Yes, sir. She's a child prodigy. Her IQ is 226. She's the top student in India. Selected as the topper for DRDO's Vision Kalam project. And that too, by your hands. Oh! That girl? Where is her posting? -Hello, sir. -Good morning. Sir, you're here suddenly? Where is Archana Goswami? Sir, how are you? A sudden surprise. -I'm fine. -Nice. After seeing the details of the bio-shield project you submitted, the PM was very impressed. -Wow. -He personally asked me to address it. -Okay. -I came here to understand the details. Sure, sir. Sir, our military in the northern Himachal region has to operate in Siachen at -50 to -60 degrees. Rajasthan is the complete opposite. They must work in 50 to 60-degree heat under the sun. Eastern Ghats… It's all marshy land there. Even there, they must always be ready for war. Coastal areas… surrounded by the sea on three sides! So, our army loses more men to nature than bullets from enemies, sir, and we need to break it. For that, we need a one-shot solution. That's why I developed this bio-shield, sir. Except for human trials, the entire process is complete. And sir, by the way, I personally monitored and submitted this. But the entire design, thought, and implementation were done with Janani and her team's support, who got selected under the Vision Kalam program, sir. They made it possible. Janani? Where is she? Hi, Janani. This is Mr. Rao, our Defense Minister. He wanted to meet you once. -Hello, sir. -Hi, dear. I want to know something. At such a young age, how did you come up with a solution to such a difficult problem? From the Ramayana, sir. -From the Ramayana? -Yes, sir. To protect his yajna, Sage Vishwamitra taught Rama and Lakshmana two powerful practices, "Bala" and "Atibala." That's what inspired my project. That strength, sir, that was what empowered Lord Rama. From Ayodhya all the way to Lanka, through forests, mountains, and rivers, and even across the mighty ocean, he fought his war without nature ever standing in his way. So, you mean to make every soldier… a Rama himself. Very good. -Archana. -Yes, sir. You'd requested permission for human trials, right? -Yes, sir. -That will be arranged. Thank you so much, sir. If you guys succeed, the very strength of the Indian Army will be redefined. You'll be remembered forever in the hearts of our soldiers. The whole world will turn and look toward us. -Best of luck, Janani. -Thank you, sir. All the best, guys! -Thank you, sir. -Good work. -We're proud of you. -Thank you, ma'am. -Yes! -Yes! -General? -Yes? The weapon you mentioned is now in my hands. How did you retrieve it so quickly from such a high-security zone? By killing three hundred of our soldiers. Our soldiers? And the government? Leave that aside, sir. Just tell me where to use it. There's someone else who can tell you where to use it. -Who? -Thakur! Thakur? -Indian? -Yeah! I've said it before. If you want to hurt India, attack its roots. This Thakur… can make a man quake behind closed doors and stir an entire crowd in the open. India's most powerful political leader. Thakur. Ajith Thakur! TRUTH ALWAYS TRIUMPHS Sir, Mr. Ajith Thakur has arrived. Please, this way. Greetings. According to intelligence reports, you had a hand in the Manipur riots. You set a beautiful state on fire. Why trouble the officials? If you'd asked me, I would've told you. I planned it. My people carried it out. -The reason? -Because of you! -Me? -The seat you hold now… That seat once belonged to my father. You hold it now only by circumstance. Doesn't that sting? The chair I'm meant to occupy… you're still sitting in it. Doesn't that hurt? That's what sparked the flames over there. I'm placing you under arrest. Mr. PM. For politicians like us, arrests used to be a real punishment. Now, they're just a trend. I always go by trend. As long as people like me are in the opposition, these fires will keep burning. People will keep dying. And I'll keep blaming you for it. They get the flames, you get the soot. People are watching, Thakur. People? If someone dies and you give them 25 lakh rupees, I'll top that with two crores. If you award two medals, I'll top that with 12! Now, tell me, who will the people follow? You or me? Thakur, this seat is full of patience. It thinks before it reacts. The One above has little patience. Be careful! Even when you show up, you can't intimidate me. So how could someone who's not even here? Goodbye. Make the laddoos quickly. It's your birthday, dear! When are you coming? Our project is moving to the next stage, auntie. I can't make it this time, auntie. -Not possible? -She really can't come? If it's impossible, tell her Dad won't allow it. -Right, right, right! -He won't allow it. Isn't this the only festival your dad celebrates since Mom left? How can you refuse? Convince Dad I can't make it this once. Please, auntie. Who's on the line? -It's from home, ma'am. -What's up? Because it's my birthday, they're pressuring me to come home. -You told them you can't? -Yes, ma'am, I told them I couldn't. Tell them you're coming. Not just you, tell them your friends are also coming. What about the project, ma'am? Permission for human trials is still pending. So, just go and enjoy. Have fun! Ma'am… Why don't you come along as well, ma'am! Is your hometown beautiful? You need to add more. The more coriander you add, the tastier the uggani will be. Oh no, that's a lot of spice. It's too much. Rayalaseema is meant for spicy food, man. My daughter loves it. -Add a little cashew, man. -I've already added it, sir. Come on, add some more. She really enjoys it. Ravi, add a little ghee and taste it once it boils. Sir, you made me finish the whole pot just by asking me to taste it! For your skills, you should be handling guns and hits, but instead, you're fussing over salt and pulses. My daughter is…
