Odela 2

Sir! Sir!

A girl is bringing in a severed head, sir.

It hasn't even been six months since Radha killed Tirupati.

What's this again, sir?

- Sir, Greetings! - Hey, Ramesh.

- Is everything ready? - Yes, everything is ready.

What's his name?

Hey, Tirupati!

How did he die?

Seriously?! His wife chopped his head off?

What on earth did he do to end up this way?

Didn't you read the newspaper?

Odela Tirupati would abduct brides on wedding nights to rape and murder them.

Why did he do it? How did he get caught?

She did the right thing. She took his life and protected the town.

Name is Tirupati, and he is from Odela. Anyone related to him?

Mayanna!

Brother... Brother!

Brother... They brought home Tirupati's body.

Tirupati!

My son!

Tirupati, my son!

Hey, Ravi! We brought home Tirupati's body. Please come home.

No relative is turning up.

Hello!

None of your friends have come to see you.

What kind of death is this?

Look closely.

This idiot ruined our village's name.

He ended the lives of our children.

His soul shouldn't rest in peace.

His life shouldn't transcend to the next.

The punishment we impose on his dead body,

must be remembered by all for as long as the nearby villages exist.

There is only one way to do it.

Burial punishment.

Which means?

What do we do when a family member dies, Raja Reddy?

We either bury them or burn them.

But we shouldn't do that with his body.

On the upcoming new moon day,

at 6 am,

we must place his body vertically,

then drench his body with black hen's blood.

Take the villagers' fingernail clippings, sand from beneath their feet,

a piece of their clothing, and a black thread.

All these must be tied in a black cloth and buried alongside his body.

That is called burial punishment.

Then...

his soul will suffer just like we did.

Tirupati's soul will struggle without transcending.

It will experience hell.

But Mayanna,

why punish a dead body?

You would understand if you had lost a sister or mother to him.

True, he should get the burial punishment.

Raju, you heard the priest's plan, right?

- I did. - The whole village should hear this.

Hear one, hear all!

At the banyan tree near the Goddess temple,

right where we bury pigs and cows,

Tirupati's body will receive burial punishment!

Tailor Sreenu...

It's me, your friend.

We studied together during childhood.

Give me a helping hand.

Brother is lifting on his own.

Hey!

Narsi! Narsi!

At least you lend them a hand...

Brother.

Brother is dead.

Sister-in-law is in jail.

The family has fallen apart.

Why such injustice?

Brother.

Ask them to let him go!

Isn't it because of your brother the village suffered?

What are you guys looking at? Throw him out!

- Give it a second thought! - Please don't!

Brother, ask them to stop.

Please stop it.

Please don't, I beg you.

I committed a mistake unknowingly.

My wife killed me and has punished me enough already.

Let these sins be accounted for and end in this lifetime

Let it go.

Why are you guys punishing a dead body?

Why give burial punishment to someone who's already been killed?

Guys, get it over with.

Guys, please don't!

Don't. Don't.

- Don't! - Don't!

Please burn my body. I don't want this burial punishment.

Please burn me.

Don't. Don't. Don't.

Hey!

You all made a mistake.

You guys are committing a grave sin!

You’ve made a huge mistake!

Sreenu! Narsi!

You... You...

I won't spare any one of you!

I'll bring panic to every doorstep!

I will fill every house with cries!

I will make sure Rahu and Kethu to dance to my tunes!

Wedding songs will turn into funeral hymns.

From now on, you'll be destroyed and this village will be annihilated!

Not even the Lord Odela Mallanna will be able to save you!

I won't spare you!

I won't spare you!

I won't spare you!

In the Indian subcontinent,

to the southeast of Mokshapuri,

around 1000 km away, along the southern banks of Ganga...

an evil spirit is surfacing in the God's birthplace, Odela.

It's collecting every drop of blood that can be found

and waiting for an opportunity.

If it was visible to your inner eye,

I think complete destruction is inevitable, Gurudeva.

Destruction is the terrifying form of time.

If an evil spirit is born there,

then God must have also taken an earthly form elsewhere.

God is the only eternal truth!

6 MONTHS LATER

It's not that. Will you listen to me?

- Share with your husband. - Thanks, sister.

Veralingaiah uncle!

What is it, Raji Reddy?

Why are you dancing in the dust with kids? Come here. You might fall sick.

What do you mean?

Does it look like dust?

To me, it looks like the ash on the Goddess Odela.

I don't understand. Speak clearly.

How many days has it been

since we saw a wedding gathering in our village?

Only Lord Mallana knows how much I suffered these past six months.

Our village is finally at peace after Tirupati's death.

Yes.

Hey, Priest! I'm talking to you.

- Who is it? - Come, let's have a drink.

Oh! You guys!

I'm coming!

What's this? Why do you always settle under the tree?

Local brew by day, branded liquor by night?

Have this.

I must fix an auspicious time for his sister-in-law's wedding night.

This was a little too strong.

You knew I liked her since childhood,

yet you saw to it that she got married happily!

Look at you!

Ask your uncle Maika Raji Reddy, who sold six acres to get a U.S. return groom.

I just chant mantras for 30 minutes. There's no use yelling at me.

That's just my fate!

In childhood, when Yamini cried,

I used to wipe her nose with my shirt.

When she wanted tamarind, I’d smash it open for her.

When she asked for Jujube fruits, I'd got them for her.

When she wanted guava, I'd cut it for her.

Now got all ready, looking as fresh as an apple!

How can I give her up?

We grow plants at home.

But offer the flowers to God.

Your uncle set up a buffalo farm for you because you weren't studious.

The buffaloes are ours.

But we sell the milk to the hotel.

- That's it. - Yes, uncle.

Dubai Shankar is in Dubai.

I'm going to his home every day.

That doesn't make her my wife!

You discard your shirt at home and your lungi outside!

But I'm ready to sacrifice my life for her.

I planted that mango tree.

Am I not eating those mangoes?

I planted chitti mutyala rice at the farm, am I not reaping the benefits?

But I won't leave her.

What do we do now?

Haven't you seen those web series on OTTs?

A dead person comes back to life.

I'll rape her.

I'll make them believe that dead Tirupati is the culprit.

Hey!

What nonsense are you talking about?

Don’t blurt out outrageous things just because you're drunk.

I don't want your alcohol or your friendship!

Priest uncle!

Priest!

Every time I drink something, and I instantly need to pee!

Come!

Come!

I’ll make you live through burial punishment!

I'll show you!

What's this, Priest?
