Om Shanti Shanti Shantihi (ఓం శాంతి శాంతి శాంతి)

-Hey! Where the hell are you? -Coming, dear.

Hey, uncle!

Heard you had a baby girl. What did you name her?

Shanthi!

Hey!

I will raise my daughter like Queen Jhansi Lakshmi Bai.

Of course, then we have to get the king of Mysore as her bridegroom.

Dear, get Uncle some cool water.

-Brother, take it. -Okay!

Shanthi!

Don't eat this. You'll catch a cold.

You guys get off!

Dad, what about me?

Play with it.

-Shanthi. -Yes, Mom.

Come closer.

This looks so beautiful on you.

How many times have I told you not to tear books, idiot? Will you do it again?

Why do you always beat me? Why don't you beat sister?

-Why should I beat her? -Mom, ask Dad not to beat me.

-Dad. No, Dad, no. -Idiot, stupid.

Your situation is better.

They send their five-year-old son as an escort to the shop down the street.

That’s how it seems when you look from the opposite house.

Come to my house and see it from my perspective.

You’ll understand then.

Everything seems clear from afar.

Dear, dear, dear.

Get Uncle some cool water.

Brother-in-law.

Our focus should be on respecting the son-in-law,

entrusting our daughter to his care, and celebrating the wedding in a grand manner.

That's when she'll be under our control

and listen to us.

Come, dear.

-Isn't the water chilled? -No.

-Okay. Go out and play. -Okay, Uncle.

-Shanthi! Don't eat.You will catch a cold. -Push me more. Faster!

Why are you playing the games like boys?

Go and help Mom, go!

Brother-in-law need to be informed once, he is raising his daughter as a boy.

You guys get down.

Dad, I need a teddy bear.

Shanthi!

Brother's shirt looks so good on you.

Why do I get beaten all the time? Why don't you say anything to my sister?

Dad, Dad, don't beat me, Dad.

Why should I say anything to her?

-Mom, at least you tell him. -You know she needs your books next year.

-How can she study like this? -Dad, it's hurting Dad.

In the picture at home, my brother is the hero, and I am the sidekick.

Lastly, they didn’t even put any thought while naming me,

instead, they took my brother’s name and made a slight modified it,

and named me after that.

Is it?

Anyway, what's your brother's name?

Stop with those dirty, double-meaning songs.

Will you stop that?

How many times should I tell you?

Cashew stains on the shirt won't come off easily.

The stains are good, Mom.

Shut up and start chopping onions for the curry.

Is this song okay, Mom?

Mom, pass me that pickle.

Only two days, Dad. All of my friends are going.

When our batch went on a trip, there were no girls.

Mom. At least you convince Dad.

I will get coffee powder from Araku.

Make an omelet for your brother that's enough.

With fewer onions.

Such trips are not that safe, Dad.

Hoodwinking the lecturers to booze.

Roaming around freely at night.

They'll do all kinds of naughty things.

Haven’t we been seeing it on the news?

The police recovered marijuana from a gang who went on one such trip.

Is that so?

If he's saying this, then it certainly must have been his gang.

Araku.

The green necklace that adorns the neck of nature.

Situated 910 meters above sea level,

it is popularly known as the “Ooty of Andhra."

The stunning Borra Caves,

the mesmerizing Chaprai Waterfalls,

and the rich aroma of coffee estates,

along with the vibrant tribal culture,

make this destination truly enchanting.

Wow, you have described it so well despite not coming to the trip.

All of you guys, clap for her.

January and February have passed,

this month is going well.

This month, I'll take the money from the chit.

Will enroll our daughter in Rajahmundry college.

That money we saved is for our daughter's marriage, isn't it?

Without informing me, you started a discussion about marriage?

You are treating me as a stranger.

Are you a calf for us to do that?

You are a part of our family.

-Get your brother a few hot dosas. -Okay.

No need, brother-in-law.

While I was at Seenu's Coffee Hotel,

I saw Somaraju with a Jackfruit.

Immediately,

I put a President Medal bottle in his pocket,

I got the Jackfruit for Shanthi.

You brought this at the right time.

Shanthi

got a free seat in Rajahmundry GIET College in Computer Engineering.

Our Shanthi!

-Free seat?! -Yes.

Government seat?!

Super, really awesome!

Why are you thinking so much? Just do it.

Brother-in-law.

If a girl does her higher studies and gets a job,

how proud we feel.

Moreover,

we are planning to get her married.

She will be handy to us.

Don't think much, just go for it.

What do you want me to do? Put dosa on the pan?

Only her seat is free.

Her one year’s bus fees would cover a three-year degree education here.

If she has to board the bus at 5 a. m. , Mom has to prepare her lunch by 4 a. m.

Dad will have to drop her off at the bus stop,

and I will have to pick her up later.

We both will have to become her drivers.

It’d be education for her and labor for us.

That's right.

If she becomes an engineer after her studies,

we have to find a groom who has studied more than her.

Not only that,

if her knowledge increases after her studies,

she might reject the groom we suggest and may not find one she likes either.

Brother-in-law.

Moreover, she scored good marks by studying from his books.

That's why,

enroll her in the same college where he's studying.

Nice bargain.

Also, you save money.

What do you say, son-in-law?

You are right, Uncle.

Dad,

I will do a part-time job in Rajahmundry and study by staying in a hostel.

My dad didn’t let me study, saying he couldn’t afford it.

You can roam around the streets with that on a signboard around your neck.

-I didn’t mean it that way. -Then how did you mean it?

As an elder of the family, I know what you want.

I want to do Computer Engineering from GIET college, Dad.

I have to make that decision.

I have to decide for myself.

-What did you say? -Shanthi.

In accounts, there are

three different accounts.

One Nominal,

two

and you, what's the matter?

Drawing rangoli.

Don’t you want to study?

Wouldn’t you like to be independent?

Girls.

You're the assets of the society.

Not a liability.

Hey!

Girls don't express their interests openly,

we have to figure out and respect them.

It's our responsibility.

You all should take a bold step forward.

Fight for your rights.

And achieve your goal with determination.

A girl's heart is like the river Godavari.

If you build a dam, it will help you in need.

But if you try to mess with it,

it will drown you.

Am I clear?

Yes, sir!

Am I clear?!

Yes, sir!

Did you say, you like me?

Ms. Kondaveeti Prashanthi,

I am asking you.

Are you in love with me?

Sireesha! Sireesha!

Sireesha!

Stop!

What happened?
