It is advisable to discontinue radiation, Lokeswari madam

Final stages

It can only reduce her pain

Not save her!

Do not cry, sister

Where is mother, Sai anna?

She went out for a breath of fresh air

She is in the garden

Mother...?

'Amma'

Hari...?

Is it you?

What are you doing here?

I asked you to be with your father

Father asked me to be with you

That is why I came here

Alright

Come, sit

My dearest!

My vision is getting blurred

For my eyes to close gradually

I am preparing for it once and for all

Nothing will happen to you

You will be fine

'Radiation and chemotherapy'

...affected your vision

Mother, you will be fine

You asked for father's photos Here is the album, amma

Where is he?

Here...

My husband resembles God!

Until I see him once more

...I will be happy if my eyesight is intact

'1947 Bezawada'

"My dear white dove"

You can record your voice for HMV

Rama Rao sir, I came earlier than you today

Great! I have come on time

If women are employed in jobs they are unfamiliar with

...then this is how it will be!

Mr Edukondalu

Why does it bother you if ladies earn?

Remember for 9 months with pain and discomfort

...a woman delivers a boy

Women may also rule our country in the future

True, Rama Rao

Until recently we were ruled by Queen Elizabeth, right?

- Namaste, registrar sir - Namaste

Here is your file, lord

Clerk, sir

No one is lord here

Not just me

Do not address anyone here like that

I have no objection if you call me by my name

Hello, sir

Are you not Chenna Kesavalu?

'Yes, sir'

I have already signed your papers

Why have you come back again?

They asked for 2 papers

I could not find them, sir

The papers were all intact

What did they want?

We bribed those working for you for 2 annas and came to meet you

We must bribe your superiors Rs 2 each to obtain a signature

We are poor farmers in need of a fair share

How can we afford, sir?

Give me the papers

Here, sir

Take a look

These papers are in order, right? What is missing?

- Rama Rao sir - Sign the papers

- Rama Rao sir - SIGN THESE PAPERS NOW!

- Clerk...? - Sir

- Take this and get it stamped - Yes, sir

- Where did this money come from? - This is not yours

Your sub-registrar chair has earned it

'You will get your share'

'Sesame sized sin; shared within'

Share it fair and square

- I will speak to him, you go - He is furious

If we fulfill a task that is not our duty

...we call it 'bribe'

If we take money to do our duty then what is that called?

Rama Rao, you have joined work recently

You must learn to turn a blind eye

3 months ago our nation obtained freedom

Even corruption got liberated!

I can see from the way this office functions

Take this

- What is it? - My resignation letter

Accept it

Rama Rao, out of 7000 applicants for Madras Public Service Commission exam...

...you are 1 among 6 who got the job

1000s of people want this kind of fortune

Do not kick it away

Rama Rao...!

I do not want that luck which supports my family with others' misfortune

I can try changing human beings

But how can I change the system?

That is why I resigned

Let me take leave

You worked for 3 weeks

If you work for 1 more week you can get your 1st month's salary

The breadwinner will be the self proclaimed head of the house

If he ends up accepting bribes

...think about the countless heads for the same house!

Lakshmi, keep an eye on the sweet pudding on the stove?

Yes, sister

Today is your wedding anniversary, right?

My brother-in-law could have taken the day off?

Very true

Both husband and wife could have bathed in river Krishna and gone to the temple

I am sure you know your son will never take off even for 1 day, right?

Talk of my angel! He is back home

As if he will come of his own accord?

His boss must have packed him off early knowing it is a special day!

Your father-in-law has sent you a message from Komaravolu

Look who has come

He is now a registrar So wondered if he can take off

- Nursed the baby? - Can you go?

I have made your favorite sweet pudding, dear

Let me bring it for you

I quit my job!

Why?

I did not like it

What do you intend doing then?

- What happened? - I believe brother-in-law has quit his job

Director L. V.Prasad recently wrote this letter

I am joining the cine field

Whaaat...?

Acting in a cinema?

Cine field, huh?

Quitting a well-paid job and entering into cinema?

'Has this ever happened in our house?'

You objected to him becoming a pilot Now you are against cinema

- Will you not let him follow his wish? - Whom do we know in that field?

Whom did we know when he took up this job?

Likewise

If he had accepted Mr Pullaiah's offer he would have been 'Keelu Gurram' hero

- How will his wife cope? - You objected because he was a student

Tarakam dear, he will pay heed to your words

Dissuade him, dear

She will endorse only her husband's wishes

Are you packing?

Not a very trustworthy field, right?

I know you will not approve of my interest

Will you and I ever have different interests, my dear?

God has blessed you with an alluring personality

And given you a good education and a golden heart

He has blessed you with the ability to emote

People of Madras love you

Godspeed, my dear

Tarakam

What is this?

It is an unfamiliar city

If necessity demands, sell this

Tarakam

If you refuse swear on me

- Do you really want to get into films? - Yes, sir

Do you want to become like hero Nageswara Rao?

No, sir

I want to become 'Rama Rao'!
