Elra Kaaleliyatte Kaala

Around twelve centuries ago...

For the rise and expansion of the Mysore Empire...

..during a fierce war against the foreigners...

Bhallare Bhujabala stood tall one among many valiant chieftains.

Bhujabala was obsessed with proving his might.

And beneath that strength lay a dangerous greed.

His dream was to build a kingdom of his own.

For the future of his people... and his pride...

...he stepped into battle, ready to face the consequences.

In his rage...

...the cries of foreigner's slaughter echoed across the land.

And he emerged victorious.

As a reward...

..the emperor of Mysore granted Bhujabala some vast lands.

He was free to choose his own dominion.

The vision of his dream village was becoming real.

But...

..fate had other plans far from what he imagined.

Hey, I said no, didn’t I?

Alright, but tell me...

...why did the sage warn against building the village here?

He was so determined to build a village here?

But the sage said...

“This place will disrupt time itself...”

“If you go against it, disaster will follow.”

But Bhujabala ignored his warning.

Hmph.

Still... why didn’t he listen to the sage?

You mongrel fool!

Hey, Binda...

He wanted to build his dream village, right?

You think he’d listen to a sage?

Had he dropped his stubbornness...

...and heeded that warning...

...the village’s fate might’ve been different.

-It would’ve been different... -That’s fine,

We’re passing through that very village now, aren’t we?

Those villagers...

..I heard they mislead travelers.

Word is they’re wicked people.

So what do we do?

Do we go or not?

Hmm!

I’ll smack you till your eyeballs pop and hang!

You always want both sides, pick one!

How do I make you decide, huh?

Hey...

To reach Mathanahalli...

..we must cross that village, right?

Yes.

Then quit wasting time, let’s move.

Let's go.

This fool's nothing but burden on earth(!)

Hey! Stop Rameshappa!

Stop, stop!

Stop the bus!

Hey, hey!

Rameshappa, stop it! -Hey, stop that!

Ay! Didn’t Rameshappa come today?

His wife’s pregnant, man.

How could he make it?

Who made her?!

Go ask him yourself.

Don’t act dumb!

I asked where’s the delivery, not philosophy!

How would I know?

Tell me where you’re headed.

Will you go through Muttahatti?

This morning trip has dragged on forever.

That damn Bangalore guy...

...went to watch a tent movie came back five hours late!

No wonder the conductor’s fuming.

The engine’s overheated too.

You should’ve cooled it down with some cold water.

I’ll pour my pee instead

Hey! Won’t that rust the metal, you idiot?

Just spit out your destination, man.

I’m heading to Matanahalli.

My friend needs to reach Muthatti.

Can you drop him off on the way?

Hey! Stop it!

Listen to the elder’s advice!

[muffled voices, shouting] Just drop him off!

Sudha...

Those two guys...

They asked for a ride, but never got in?

We crossed Pompanasahalli an hour and a half ago.

-This must be the next village. -Which one?

It’s “IDNODU”, isn't it?

Hey...

Brake softly, you maniac!

Why’d you even say that name, idiot?

I always carry lemons just to cross this cursed place.

Who dared to utter the village’s name?

You grizzly bear, was it you?

Not me!

Its surely might be her!

Was it you?

Me?! Why?

If someone admits they said it...

...I’ll give them fifty paisa!

Is any man here brave enough to claim it?

I do, sir! I do.

Who?!

I swear upon the honor of our Goddess Kannada.

Swear on the sacred feet of Lord Tirupati Thimappa.

In the land of Vijayanagara, which rose again as the heart of Santana.

Let the saga of His Majesty Sri Krishnadevaraya begin!

Let dawn shine upon the glory of united Kannadigas!

Let the Kannada warriors march as one!

Let the war drums thunder toward Raichur Fort!

Hey, Sri Krishnadevaraya

Hmm?

Pass me that jerry can by your feet.

Hmph.

Hey! Pass it here.

You said you’d fulfill it, right?

Then go fill this jerry can.

Me, sire?!

My foot!

Shankaranna!

Go fill it up from the stream.

Hmm.

So... how were the dialogues?

And the hand gestures?

This one?

tsks.. Huh?

How was that?

Huh?

The expressions-- -Forget it!

Let him be, why are you pestering the guy?

Why, man?

Er..!

Hmm?

Damn you!

Hey! Stop!

Get in!

No tent here move it!

Hang on, sir, I just need to pee!

Enough nonsense, get in the bus!

At least let me have some tea, sir!

No tea here! Just get in, I say!

Hey sir! -Huh?!

There’s a tea stall right there!

No tea there! Now get in!

Alright, wait sir...

Before he returns with the water,

I’ll finish my tea and come!

Hey! Get in, you idiot! -Wait, sir!

If you’re not back before he arrives...

I’ll drive off without you!

Oh really?

Alright, go ahead. If you’ve got the guts!

Alright, hurry up!

Man, he looks like Rambo himself!

SIGN BOARD - URBAGLU TEA STALL!

Nice name...

..for a tea stall.

Urbaglu Tea Stall.

Hmm.

Huh.

Why “Urbaglu”?

It’s right at the village’s entrance,

hence the name.

Ah! Makes sense.

And the village’s name Idnodu?

Yes.

So what exactly are we looking at?

Stay three days, sir... you’ll find out.

Half a cup of tea, please.

Rather than mind his business...

Where’re you from? -I am from the capital city.

Oh? What happened?

I mean... from Bangalore.

Ah, Bangalore...

Hey! What the hell is this?

Tea.

You call this tea?

That’s what we call it here.

Then what should we call the tea back in Bangalore?!

Go ask your city folks -Who’s this clown...

People of Idnodu! Listen up!

Today’s play “Maavina Moju” in the mango grove!

The one who’s stolen hearts across villages the beautiful Nimmi!

As graceful as any movie star!

Nimmi from Nagarala is here to enchant you tonight!

Hey, Gublaala! (Tiny owl)

Nimmi’s here!

I’ll go watch her play and be back in five minutes!

Take care of the shop!

Alright, Brother.

Huh!

Sir...

You’ve seen many acts in Bangalore?

Watch Nimmi’s act too.

Nimmi?!

But Pammi was announced?

We call her Pammi, Nimmi...

If love surges, even “Mummy.”

When my father‑in‑law went to Keralalusandra...
