(birds chirping)
(panting)
(man speaking indistinctly)
(Lisa) Stop! Stop!
Please take me to the play.
Join us. We are heading there as well.
- Fast. Make it quick. - Hold on tight! Careful!
(opening theme music)
(suspenseful music)
I can't believe it.
A stage-play artist
has meticulously planned all these murders.
You put on an avatar on stage...
and kill people using the same avatar off-stage.
People believe God was behind all the murders.
You've planned it really well.
You're a capable man.
You found out.
Stop the play.
Or his life will be in danger.
I'll speak to the department and make sure Keshava is punished.
(intriguing music)
(scoffs)
Our God is already delivering punishment, right?
God? Is he a God?
Before I met him, I wanted to kill him.
But once I met him,
I felt pity for him.
Stop this right now!
What did Bhima do to Keechaka, who misbehaved with Draupadi?
He broke his arms and legs and turned him into a meatball.
For pulling her hair,
he separated Dushasana's arms from his shoulders.
For gesturing to her to sit on his thigh,
he tore Duryodhana's thighs apart!
The Bhagavad Gita isn't just meant to be worshipped.
It must be read and followed.
God has already told us
how to punish anyone who misbehaves with a woman.
So, are you going to keep killing people?
Do you think Rangachary is someone who dabs colour on his face
and performs plays in villages?
If needed, I can don an avatar.
If necessary, I can assume the avatar.
This final demon-slaying won't happen in the forest,
but amidst the people in broad daylight.
Even the thought of sinning...
should terrify people!
(intense music)
I'm here to stop you.
There's the law.
(chuckles derisively)
Do you know what your law is doing right now?
(matchstick ignites)
(dramatic music)
You mean to say I'm not strong, just lucky.
And that I can't live without your help?
(scoffs)
Yes.
All right. Name your price for your help.
- (metal clanks) - (footsteps thud)
(shoes thud)
(thrilling music)
If you want to pay for my arrogance,
almost... all your assets wouldn't be enough.
Come. Let's bring the curtain down on his play.
Lord Vishnu will take on an avatar and protect the good in the world.
Punishment for evil
and protection of the good are at the heart of every avatar.
(music playing onstage)
Injustice brings evil as its shadow.
The righteous will fight alone
even when they are facing the strongest.
(dramatic music)
What's your question?
Guru Suta Mahamuni.
All these days, you've told us about the ten avatars of Lord Vishnu
and enlightened us.
Please describe the last avatar of Kalki
and enlighten us.
Lord Vishnu took on different avatars over the years.
Punishing evil and protecting the good were the only motives.
When Kali Yuga comes to an end,
there'll be no uniformity on Earth.
To protect the good,
Lord Vishnu will take on the avatar of Kalki.
With wide eyes,
(dramatic music)
broad shoulders
and a golden hue,
he is a tall radiant warrior.
(dramatic music builds)
Dressed in a white dhoti
and wielding a sharp sword,
he rides on a white horse.
- (horse neighs) - (hooves clatter)
He roams the Earth,
beheading the wicked,
consecrating the land with their blood,
and re-establishes the age of truth.
(reverent upbeat vocalisation)
(heave)
Catch him!
Hey!
(Rangachary) Please protect our God.
Hey!
Where do you think you're going?
His time on this Earth is up. Stop right here.
(panting)
Damn!
(thrilling music)
Hey, stop!
Hey!
- Hey! - Stop!
- Don't do it. He's innocent. - Hey!
- (gunshot) - He's a child.
- (women gasp) - (music fades)
(metal head gear clangs)
(grunting and straining)
(melancholic music)
(grunting)
Hey!
Don't do it!
- (gunshot) - (sobbing)
(rope whooshing)
- (grunts) - (pistol clatters)
(upbeat music)
(yelling)
(thumps)
(thuds)
Leave me!
(groans)
(grunting)
- Hey! No! - (groaning)
Chamanthi! Listen to me.
- Listen to me. - Almost...
- she killed me. - Don't take the law into your hands.
I'll make sure they're brought to justice.
(Hari yelling)
Chamanthi!
(flesh squelching)
(thudding)
(groaning)
(flesh squelching)
(groaning)
(gasping)
Hey.
Hey!
- Hari! - (groans)
(gasping)
Hari.
(straining) Everyone...
who assaulted Vaidehi has been killed.
Only... one survived.
The torture that Vaidehi endured...
(sobbing)
For no woman to endure the same thing...
God must truly descend on Earth.
You have a daughter, right?
Be cautious.
All such monsters in this world
should be... slain.
(heavy exhale)
(melancholic music)
Vira...
(doctor) Nervous system damage is not the real problem.
It's the blood clot in your brain.
Find other parents for your daughter.
Maximum two years.
(Bharat) Swathi, Sweety, you and I.
It's only a family if all of us are together.
(chuckles)
(wailing)
(Sweety) This wouldn't have happened if we hadn't gone to the play.
Uncle Bharat died because of me.
You have a daughter, right?
Be cautious.
- All such monsters in this world... - (gasping)
should be slain.
(gasping)
(electricity crackles)
(emotional music)
(electricity crackling)
(sombre music)
(metallic clang)
(metal thuds)
(emotional vocalisation)
(gasps)
My dear!
(wailing)
My dear!
(music continues)
(bullock cart rattling)
Where are you off to?
A new teacher has arrived in the village.
Take our men with you.
Why should I be scared, Uncle?
The killer God himself is no more.
(bike engine starts)
(crowd chatters)
(suspenseful music)
(bells ringing)
(bullock cart rattling)
(bike engine rumbling)
(suspenseful music builds)
(upbeat music)
(slashes)
(blood whooshing)
God exists!
God is committing these murders!
(coconut thuds)
God exists!
(upbeat music continues)
Vaidehi...
(women sobbing)
She's your Vaidehi from now on.
I'll ensure justice for the injustice you endured.
(emotional vocalisation)
Vaidehi.
(kisses softly)
(kisses)
By hiding the truth about Hari's death
and keeping the fear alive that God punishes the guilty,
you did a great job, sir.
Everything happened for the best.
Righteousness triumphed.
But your eyes are still searching for something.
(dramatic music)
I tried... to kill your friend.
But I didn't kill him.
Hari.
Who was it? Who killed Bharat?
Hari!
Hey, Hari!
Hey!
Bhara... Bharat...
Hari.
(tray clattering)
Hari didn't kill Bharat? Then who did?
(panting)
(loud thud)
(screaming on TV)
(thud)
(groaning)
(dramatic music)
(dramatic vocalisation)
(birds chirping)
(peacock screeches)
This is proof that Bharat was killed by a supernatural force.
And I'm the witness.
Does it mean Rangachary used God?
Or did God use Rangachary?
If God did all of this,
why did God kill Bharat?
Bharat didn't commit any sin!
He did.
The first person Rangachary approached to save Vaidehi that day...
was Bharat.
I'm not that sincere.
SI sir!
Sir!
Anjali, I'll be right back. Someone's here.
SI sir.
SI sir!
- Mr. Chary, what's wrong? - They took my granddaughter, sir!
- Who did? Let's get him. - It's that Keshava.
(dramatic music)
What happened, sir?
What happened to your granddaughter is tragic.
But it's my engagement today.
- I can't help you with this. - My granddaughter is in trouble.
Please understand, Chary sir.
I've got a lot... to tell her.
- Sir! - Stay on the line, sister.
- Listen to me. - Sir! Sir!
Try to understand, Chary sir.
I can't help you.
SI sir!
I'm begging you, sir.
(melancholic music)
- Why was Mr. Rangachary here? - It's about a case. It's nothing.
Was this the help Mr. Rangachary requested that day?
(melancholic music)
Swathi...
Why did God kill Bharat instead of Keshava?
(in Sanskrit) To protect the righteous, to annihilate the wicked
and to re-establish the principles of dharma,
I shall appear on this earth, age after age.
When there is unrighteousness,
the ones who are silent despite being capable
will never be forgiven by God.
God will descend to punish such people.
Bharat had a duty to protect Vaidehi.
But he didn't attempt to save her.
Just like Bhishma
who remained silent when Draupadi was being disrobed.
That's why...
God himself killed Bharat.
(reverent vocalisation)
So, were Devaramma's words true?
A chapter has ended.
An era has changed hands.
The task remains for the master of time.
The Aranya Kandam has ended,
and the Mahaprasthanam is about to begin.
