Hey, get up.
Run faster.
What have you done?! Hey!
Come one, come all!
Catch it today!
Rangachary Theatrical Troupe presents
Vamana Avatar, the play.
Today at Ranajilleda!
All are welcome...
If God kills someone every day,
our village will turn into a graveyard.
Everyone's terrified of who God will choose next.
What are you scared of?
Even you, who prays every day, must still die.
One who commits sins like me must also die.
But everyone hopes that death doesn't come to them today.
Even if you wish, today's not your day.
Do you know who's going to die this time?
If my guess is right,
it will be Shivapoga Dora this time.
If we inform the police, they'll do something about it.
What will the police do?
Apart from hounding innocent people.
Hello. Mic testing. Mic testing.
To all the people gathered here,
a heartfelt thank you on behalf of Rangachary Theatrical Troupe.
Hey, Srinu! Set up that mic.
All right. Check now.
Hello. Mic testing.
I knew you had run out of the sap.
And that you'd come here. That's why I brought it.
...Vamana Avatar!
Thank you.
Greetings.
Mahatma,
the ceremony is blessed by your arrival.
Who are you?
Where do you stay?
Bali Raja,
the one who knows all is Paramathma.
As for my home,
the entire world is my residence.
I travel in everyone's heart.
Boy,
your words are filled with worldly knowledge at such a young age.
They have filled my heart with great joy.
What can I do for you?
Maharaja,
for celibates and ascetics,
the welfare of the world is the primary goal.
I've come to seek help in achieving that goal.
Give me an order, Lord.
I swear on this ceremony,
we'll fulfil your wish.
- Bali Chakravarthy. - Hmm?
Don't be rash!
Sir... I think we're unnecessarily suspecting these stage actors.
They might not be the killers.
But the ones being killed are coming to these plays, right?
Yes, sir.
Vaman Rao,
does anyone here match the status
or character of the dead?
Can you check?
Sir, he's Prabhakar.
He and Keshava lock horns over a coffee estate.
That's Veera Raju.
A womaniser.
Hmm.
Sir, he's Dora.
He's the biggest idiot in this agency.
His will be the first name on the list of nasty criminals.
All those who died were bad people.
Except for Bharat sir.
- Vaman Rao. - Sir.
Ask our team to follow these three until they reach their homes.
- Okay, sir. - Each of you follow them separately.
If you get the slightest suspicion...
inform me on my wireless.
Acharya,
like you said, if Lord Vishnu himself is here asking for help,
isn't that the greatest blessing I could have?
He's the Lord of all the worlds.
He came here for my help.
If he believes I'm fortunate enough to fulfil the wish of Lord Vishnu
and grants me his approbation and blessings,
is there a greater fortune than that, Acharya?
Is there anything else that can make my life complete, Gurudeva?
Bali Raja, it looks like
your Guru sees me as a threat.
Our Guru places our well-being above all.
He wants our success to resonate worldwide.
He'll never see your wish as a sign of danger.
I don't want to cause any conflicts between you.
With your consent, I will take my leave.
What did you say?
How would offering help cause any conflicts?
- Tell me. - Prabhakar reached home, sir.
Okay, Narayana. Over.
- Tell me, Laxman. - Veera Raju reached home.
- All right. You guys can come back. - Okay, sir.
Over.
Tell me, Vaman Rao. Over.
Sir, I lost track of Dora.
What? Where?
I'm on the route between Ranajilleda and Nakkala Vagu.
Stay right there. I'm coming.
Where is he? Where did he go, Vaman Rao?
He went this way, sir.
- He went this way. - I knew this would happen.
Don't go, sir!
The forest is dangerous.
Please come back, sir!
Sir! There are slippery pits!
Sir! Please come back!
Listen to me, sir. Sir!
Sir! Sir!
Dora?
Stop, Mahatma.
You came to my place.
It'd be a disgrace to this ceremony if you left empty-handed.
Show me some mercy
and kindly tell me your wish.
I'll fulfil it.
What do you want? Tell me. I'll give it.
Please let me live.
I won't tell anyone about you.
Maharaja, I'm a devout celibate.
I do not want anything for myself.
If you so desire to fulfil my wish,
give me three paces of land.
Three steps. Come on.
Three... steps?
Three... I'll give you three steps.
- Bali? - Hmm?
Something seems off here.
Listen to me and stop right here.
Gurudeva!

Boy,
as per your wish, I'm giving you three paces of land.
Please accept it.
Come one step forward.
One...
Two...
Third step. Come forward.
I took the three steps.
Let me...
May this be offered to the Brahman.
Hey!
Oh, God!
- Chitti. - Hmm?
Your bondas are very hot!
Hey, they're soft as well.
Moron!
Greetings, sir.
Have some tea, sir.
Is what we heard true?
Did you see God with your eyes?
I saw him with these eyes.
God descended slowly in the fog.
He touched these hands,
blessed me...
and left.
- Is it? - You're very fortunate.
I told you, right?
Appanna Swamy is in the forest.
I told you he's killing everyone.
Didn't I tell you?
- I didn't see Appanna. I saw Vaman. - They're the same.
My family deity is Appanna Swamy. That's why I saw him.
Your name is Vaman Rao.
That's why he appeared to you as Vaman.
I should inform all the villagers.
I must tell everyone!
Lord Appanna Swamy.
Shut up and eat.
God's roaming in the village.
He'll kill you if you do misdeeds.
Lord Appanna Swamy!
Did you hear, sister-in-law?
Vaman Rao saw God.
Yes. He's very fortunate.
Veera Babu was right.
Absolutely.
God won't stay silent as the atrocities rise.
When will these deaths end?
It's happening exactly as Devaramma said.
The entire village believes it.
Priest,
is it true that God is killing the villagers?
God knows everything.
He's the Creator, Preserver and Destroyer.
Life and death are not in our control.
Just mind your business. God will take care of the rest.
This camera belongs to that BNC channel girl...
It's Lisa's.
Where is she now?
After Bharat's death,
she disappeared, sir.
Actually...
Why did this Lisa come here?
Some play...
documentary...
- BNC channel... - BNC!
Yeah, BNC.
- Hello. I'm calling from Araku. - Yes?
Your channel's journalist, Lisa, came here to make a documentary.
- Yes, sir. - Where is she now?
Yes. She came to Araku to make a documentary on theatre plays.
We haven't been able to reach her for a week.
Is something wrong?
Anything serious?
Hello? Hello? Hello?
Tell me. Why are you committing these murders?
Tell me.
Hey!
- Why did you kill Bharat? Tell me. - No, sir!
Sir, please don't hit him.
Sir!
Peddayya!
We were orphans.
We grew up like siblings.
He would've been married in a week.
Now, my daughter...
Almost... it had me in tears.
I got it.
But...
how do you feel when someone berates your wife instead of you?
Almost...
that's how I feel.
Sir, they're connected to the previous SI's murder.
- Vaman Rao, get me the file. - Okay, sir.
Hey!
When someone calls your pet dog
and it goes to him, wagging its tail...
how would you feel?
Almost...
I feel the same!
If you move an inch from there...
Sir, when we're not on duty,
even if it is our best friend's death,
we should not interrogate.
It demeans the job of the station SI.
If a neighbour interferes in our family affairs,
almost... this feels the same.
Out!
Hey! Who are these guys here? Send them away!
So irritating.
Whoever killed you...
will not be spared.
Even if it's God himself!
Hello.
- How are you, sir? - I'm good.
You still seem to suspect us.
I guess he's five feet tall.
Has a fair complexion.
I didn't see his face properly.
He isn't here now.
But he's one of you.
I was just a foot away, Chary.
Even God can't save you from me.
Peddayya.
Without considering happiness or sadness,
in loss and profit, in defeat and victory,
fight for the sake of fighting.
In so doing, you shall not incur any sin.
