(gasping)
Ohh! Raghu Sir! Ahh! Raghu Sir!
Don't worry. You're alright, okay?
Raghu * What happened to the gentleman who was with me?
He died on the same day. His relatives collected his body.
(sobs)
-Raghu Sir* I must see Raghu Sir. -Please lay down.
(gasping)
(newsreader) Devotees are flocking to the Gangavaram forest to catch a glimpse
of the divine light that will appear on the day of the eclipse.
It's noteworthy that despite the light failing to appear
last year, the devotees continue to throng in large numbers.
Let's speak to the person who first saw the light.
11 years ago, I saw the divine light after having my daily bath in this lake*
a divine experience.
Srinath*
Satya? Where were you all these days? What happened to you?
Srinath, I chose a pathway which I now believe is wrong.
I see another path now.
to eliminate those who torture others in the name of superstition.
It happened to me once.
And to you.
This won't stop if we forgive.
It ends only when we end it.
They call him god.
(sobs) He has a secret chapter * sleeping with women and children, every night.
Misfortune strikes those who don't believe in God.
So, God is feared by everybody!
The one who protects you at all times*
I'll make sure that the ones who killed Raghu sir face horrible death.
(coughs)
You were the ones who were scared in the name of conversion in Thummaluru.
We're with you. This is your home from now on.
Jaleel!
Are we doing the right thing, Satya?
Well, they said you were outcaste and
when your wife was drawing water from the well,
they labelled her as impure and gang-raped her.
Was that right?
-Sir, Can you please help? -Okay.
(whack)
You've lost your daughter.
Isn't it your duty to ensure it's not repeated? Hmm?
You shouldn't die.
Those who spread the word about God as well as those who believe in them
both kinds should be eliminated from this world.
Can we pull it off?
(metal gate creaks & open)
Satya, I knew you'd come for me.
Who is this?
Don't worry, he's one among us.
Really?
Ok, let's go.
Where to?
To the people who called you a devil.
(coughs)
What did you mix in it?
(coughing)
Who the hell are you? Eh, who are you?
(suspenseful music)
(gasping)
Please spare me, please.
Thakur, kill him.
How does he look like, the one who tried to kill you?
Like this baldie*
(crickets chirping)
(screams)
(groans)
(breathing heavily)
Brother! * Please spare me, brother!
(bird chirping)
(newsreader) 42 devotees die as a flyover collapsed on Muharram.
Authorities are alerted and are...
At Yenkamma's Jathara, food poisoning caused
breathlessness for 24 people and 36 have expired.
(dramatic music)
(crickets chirping)
No one should grow up as an orphan, Sarathi.
My brother saw his mother die in front of him,
he thought I died too*
It's not about the truth, Sarathi.
This is how he lost his way*
Brinda!
What are you going to do now?
Sarathi, he may have his reasons*
but so many murders...
(sighs)
he may have forgotten what good is, I didn't*
Sir!
(vehicle approaching)
These are the records of the students who studied
at the Aligarh University along with Satya.
All their details, phone numbers are here.
Get your teams cracking.
Find out if Satya is in touch with anyone.
Do you know anything about a 2007 batch Psychology student called Satya?
Phew! He studied there for 4 years and nobody knows a clue about what he was doing?
How's it possible?
Call the age enhancement technician!
Give him Satya's photo as a juvenile and let him sketch him as per his current age.
(gasping)
(cell phone ringing)
-Hello, Sarathi? -Yes, Brinda Madam, tell me.
We sent an unidentified body for ID, he was a kidney donor, remember?
Yes* Vijay had his DNA sample cross- checked with the organ donation agency.
The victim has been identified. His name's Kabir Anand.
What?
I don't understand, Sarathi.
It says he has donated the kidney to his father Kamal Anand.
I don't understand* why's the dead person called Kabir Anand?
There seems to be some mistake* wait, I'll conference Vijay now.
(cell phone rings)
Hello, Sarathi!
You had the DNA of the kidney donor cross-checked, did you get the report?
Yes, a month ago! Why now?
Victim's name is Kabir Anand. Will you verify and call back?
Okay.
Hello!
(crickets chirping)
(cell phone rings) One minute.
-Hello? Sarathi? -Yes, Vijay?
They say the report is correct.
It's Kabir Anand.
How can it be correct, Vijay?
Brinda! Brinda!
"My father is a famous advocate called Kamal Anand.
Eight years back, he got paralysed with a stroke."
-"Do you believe in God?" -"My father believes, I don't."
Many years ago, my dad told me...
"There may be any amount of evil in the world before you,
but before we leave it, we have)to do some good. It's our duty."
You're doing it.
Brindha, you didn't kill my father. You are not to be blamed.
(tyres screeching)
(sighs)
Brinda! Brinda!
Brinda!
What's wrong, Brinda?
Brinda!
What's wrong?
Anand is none other than Satya.
He killed Anand and assumed his identity.
What?
What about the people at the foundation?
Don't you get it?
They are all Satya's people.
That's why they all lied when Thakur killed Anand's father.
It's all over, Sarathi, all over.
Brinda, don't lose heart.
Brinda, don't lose hope.
You persisted, ignoring the naysayers and came this far.
Do something, Brinda!
We're all with you.
These folks must be plotting something somewhere else*
Sarathi, I had fixed a GPS device to trace Anand.
Look at this.
Gangavaram?
Are there any religious events in Gangavaram?
(cell phone buzzes)
Sarathi, I'll call you back.
Sir, it's urgent Sir! Please listen to what I've to say.
-Sir? -Take it.
Sir!
Sir, Anand is the 'Satya' we're looking for.
What?
He is in Gangavaram right now.
Are there any religious gatherings near Gangavaram?
Sir, please tell us.
Every year during the eclipse, it's believed the Goddess appears as a flame.
Thousands go to the lake nearby to witness that event.
A flame?
Yes, it appeared only once about 25 years ago, not afterwards.
But news channels are predicting a show this year.
He's there, Sir.
Ask our teams to head out for Gangavaram.
(drumming)
(car engine starts)
A request to all the devotees who gathered here from afar.
All your troubles will vanish from today.
As soon as the light appears*
finish your rituals, and pray in your heart for
fulfilling your wishes, get ready to enter the holy lake.
(stressful music)
(police siren wailing)
Don't enter the holy lake until the divine flame appears in the forest.
(machine beep)
Enter it only after the eclipse begins.
There are more devotees than we have foreseen.
-Everything ready from our side? -Yes.
Once you see the light, think of the Goddess, and then take a dip in the holy lake.
(Announcements going on)
The eclipse is going to start. Get ready to witness the flame.
Take a holy dip! One dip in the lake will wash away a hundred births' karmas.
Disperse these people!
Guys, check all the sensitive areas! Get moving.
(Announcements about the ritual going on)
Brindha!
(Announcements about the ritual going on) (drumming)
(splashing)
(drumming)
You shouldn't be here, please leave.
Don't stay here, leave. Something is going to happen.
Please vacate this area.
Stop this. Tell everyone to leave. Something bad is going to happen.
Sir, you seem to have some wrong information*
Don't you understand?
-Sir, what's this, Sir? Hold on. -Reddy, take care.
Devotees from far and wide are here to witness
the flame, how can you ask them to leave?
All of you listen carefully*
Get up, go that way, that way, go!
Go that way.
In another 40 minutes, the flame will appear.
Be ready to view it, take a dip in the tank.
Bathing in the tank will free you from the karma of 100 past lives!
Why aren't you listening to us?
There's danger here. Please go, please.
Go, go up!
Please, go!
The police have come.
(ringing bells in the temple)
Please leave this place.
Where is Satya?
(whistling)
Sarathi Sir, there's some gas leaking there.
Please leave.
Brinda!
(crowd shouting)
(indistinct shouting)
That's harmless gas, sir. There is no danger.
(drumming)
Please, move aside.
(gasps)
Move aside.
Go this way.
The eclipse is about to begin shortly.
The light is about to appear.
Be ready to immerse yourselves as soon as it appears.
(temple bell dings)
(gasping)
(screams)
Hey, what are you planning to do here?
(Announcements about the ritual going on)
Brinda!
Have you found him?
There's something in the water.
People are going to die if they get in.
What are you saying?
They've mixed something in the water * those pipes *
when the eclipse begins, the devotees will enter the water,
the plan is to kill them here.
We don't have time to disperse them all.
The only way to avert a catasrophe is to stop them from entering the pond.
(sighs) Or* over there*
Sarathi, you take care of this end*
(vehicle approaching)
(Announcements about the ritual going on)
Somehow, we must prevent people from crossing that gate.
If they do, they'll die.
I'll take care of it, you all go that way.
(vehicle halts)
Move aside.
Go back. Moin, check the other gate.
(dramatic music)
(Announcements about the ritual going on)
If you immerse yourselves, you will die.
Listen to me.
(gun fire)
(breathing heavily)
(somber music playing)
I didn't think you'd make it in time!
Saachi!
Saachi... how do you know?
How do you know?
I used to call you that!
It's me, your Chinni.
Don't try to cheat me like you cheated Thakur.
You know nothing about Chinni.
Chinni's dead.
No. Chinni is here, in front of your eyes.
One man saved her, took her home and raised her.
The same man took care of you.
Raghu...
It's a lie!
No, it's the truth.
He tried to reunite us and that's why he met you.
To reform you, to unite us...
"Why are you doing all this for me? What am I to you?"
"I'll be here, till you come to us."
Chinni...
My Chinni...
(sobbing)
My Chinni...
(people shouting)
Just because he has a gun, no one can separate us from our God.
Push him down!
Hey! Hey!
-Push him down! -Hey, listen to me!
It's me you lost in this war, it's me you're looking for in their deaths.
I'm alive.
Stop this immediately!
Satya, please, stop!
This place... I burnt everyone here.
Do you have any idea how much I suffered to become like this
Who is responsible for this?
This is not about you and me anymore.
True, it's not about you or me.
It's about the people you've killed, the people you're going to massacre.
It's about their lives.
You've not seen the world that I have seen, Brinda.
There are monsters among the people you mistake for human beings.
Maybe there was no one to question them earlier on,
but they must contend with us now.
We have chosen a path.
Satya, there's another path, the one Raghu showed you.
Then why did he die?
The eclipse is here! Push him down!
Don't do it. You'll die if you get into water.
No.
Satya, I lost my family, just like you. But I didn't lose faith.
You don't believe in God, that's why you have so many unanswered questions.
They believe in Him, that's that's why they have unswerving faith.
You're all the same.
You're doing the same thing they did to you.
Please, Satya! Stop this!
This will never end.
It will end only when they realise God doesn't exist.
Or, when I die!
The day we left this forest, our paths diverged.
May be whouldn't have left.
Satya!
(fire crackling) (breathing heavily)
(temple bell clanking)
The eclipse is about to begin shortly. The light is about to appear. [shortly. The flame is about to appear.]
Be ready to immerse yourselves as soon as it appears.
We've just met, should we part so soon?
You can kill me. How will you kill the God inside them?
And the sins they commit in the name of God?
Satya, I don't know the answer to your questions.
but remember Raghu who tried to teach us to do good? He's God. I know that.
You forgot his help midway, I know that.
The world cannot discern between good and bad. I know that too.
You shouldn't hurt others in the name of God...
neither should you punish them for believing in him.
(gun fire & man groans)
(groans)
(clank)
(cracking wood)
(thud)
(splash)
Eclipse is over but the holy flame is no where to be seen.
Godess Gangamma, We didn't get to see the holy flame...'
Goddess, don't feel bad. Let's pray for her to bless us next year.
(sentimental music playing)
(sobbing)
Saachi ... Saachi ... Saachi!
(chuckles)
Saachi!
(intense music)
