UNKNOWN - Two Faces ~ One Truth
News Bulletin
Breaking news just in "Govindarajulu, who was contesting for the post of State Chief Minister, has been murdered".
Ten Days Earlier:
At the Jana Jeevana Party office, the party head speaks to Govindarajulu
“This time, you should contest for the CM post. I am with you. I don’t care what methods you use or how much money you spend. But remember, you must win this election.”
Govindarajulu replies, “Yes sir. With your support, I will do anything to win. I won’t fail you. I’ll leave now sir, I have many things to take care of.”
Govindarajulu tells his follower:
“Siddha, I have to become CM this time. I don’t want any rivals. Adikesavulu is the only problem. Make sure he doesn’t contest. Get me all the details about him.”
Sri Krishna Colony, Vishakapatnam:
Mother: “Rudhra, hey Rudhra! I told you we have to go to the temple today. Still your on bed.
Rudhra: “Ahh mom, this time you go alone to the temple, let me sleep please.”
Mother: “Then at least drop me near the temple, I’m getting late.”
Rudhra: “You don’t listen even when I tell you, okay fine, get ready, I’ll come.”
Near the Temple:
Rudhra: “Mom, don’t trouble God too much, come quickly. I have to go to party.”
Mother: “I just came, and you’re already ordering me uh. I’ll come fast only.”
Meanwhile, the priest announces
“Today is Mukkoti Ekadashi, a very divine day.
Tell Lord Narayana the desires in your heart, he will surely fulfill them.”
Rudhra thinks in his mind:
“Doesn’t God already know our needs and desires?
If He fulfills every wish, humans will only become more selfish.
I don’t have a girlfriend now – if I pray for one, will He simply send her to me?”
At that moment, a girl arrives.
Rudhra sees her and immediately follows her.
“The girl gives her name and lineage to the priest for the prayer.
As the ritual continues, Rudhra receives a call from his friend and quietly walks away.”
By the time he returns after the call, the girl is gone.
Rudhra thinks:
“God, I thought you fulfill wishes only when we ask,
but now I understand you fulfill even what we think in our heart. You exist… God is great” And he leaves.
Two Days Later
Somewhere in Vishakapatnam, Govindarajulu is campaigning for elections with party workers and supporters.
Due to traffic jam, everyone gets stuck.
Rudhra is also among the crowd.
“At that moment, Rudhra sees the same girl from the temple.
He tries to reach her, but the traffic moves and she disappears again.
Thinking, ‘Missed again,’ Rudhra leaves.”
At the same place, same time, someone shoots Govindarajulu with a gun. He is rushed to hospital and survives.
Police ask Govindarajulu: “Do you suspect anyone?”
Govindarajulu replies: “I don’t suspect anyone. This is an attack on me, I will handle it. You can go.”
Later Govindarajulu tells Siddha(his follower):
“Hey Siddha, this must be Adikesavulu’s work.
We must do something so that he and his men stay away from us.
It’s election time – if he dies, it’ll be a problem for us.
While I’m campaigning, he won’t kill me,
but he must not campaign at all.”
Siddha: “Okay brother, tell me what to do.”
Govindarajulu: “Tomorrow he has a meeting – spread false news that there is a bomb under the stage. Trouble his family then he won't focus on campaign,
When he steps out of his house, throw a bomb at his house.
Hack all his social media accounts.
He should not campaign at all.”
That Night
Rudhra is talking with his friend Rohan near his house:
“Man, what a girl she is!
She appears, and before I can meet her, she disappears.
Hey Rohan, when will I see her again?”
While he’s talking, a packers and movers truck and a car arrive. A girl steps out of the car.
Seeing her, Rudhra says,
“Hey Rohan, the girl from my dreams is right in front of my eyes.
Is this real or a dream? Come, let’s check.”
They both go closer and realise,
“This is not a dream. It’s real!”
“The girl I like has come to my area, and that too, to the house right opposite mine!
Rohan, I’m fixed, ra. She’s my wife.
Present Day:
Rudhra keeps watching from his gate, waiting for the girl to come out.
After some time, the girl comes out and tries to start her scooty.
It doesn’t start, so she asks Rudhra for help.
Rudhra tries to start it, but it still doesn’t start.
The girl says:
“I’m getting late to office.
If you don’t mind, can you drop me near my office please?
We came here only last night.
I don’t know anyone here.”
Rudhra: “No problem at all. I’m free anyway.
Wait here, I’ll bring my bike.”
On the Way to the office
Rudhra: “You didn’t tell me your name.”
Girl: “My name is Vrushali.”
Rudhra: “Vrushali? Are you Bengali?”
Vrushali: “No, we used to live in Delhi.
My father works as a customs officer and he was transferred to Vishakapatnam. That’s why we moved here.”
Rudhra: “Oh Delhi? But you speak Telugu very well.”
Vrushali: “My mom is from Vishakapatnam, dad from Delhi,
so mom taught me Telugu.
Enough about me, you didn’t tell your name and what you do.”
Rudhra: “My name is Rudhra, I’m a freelancer working on mobile apps, and currently I’m developing a gaming app.”
Vrushali: “So you are an app designer?”
Rudhra: “Something like that.”
Vrushali: “This is my office. Please stop here. Thanks for helping at the right time.”
Rudhra: “How will you go back home?”
Vrushali: “By auto or cab.”
Rudhra: “Take my number. I stay at home. Call me in the evening, I’ll come.”
Vrushali: “No no, it's trouble for you, I’ll manage.”
Rudhra: “No problem, call me. I’m leaving.”
Evening:
Vrushali: “Hello Rudhra, I’m near my office. Are you free? Can you come?”
Rudhra: “There’s a Touchwood coffee shop near your office. Wait there, I’ll come.”
Vrushali: “Okay, I’ll be there.”
At the Coffee Shop:
Rudhra: “You’re very friendly. We met only today morning, but it feels like we’ve known each other for many days.
It feels like a dream.”
Vrushali: “Yeah, I get close to people easily.”
Rudhra: “I want to tell you something…”
Waiter comes and asks for order.
Rudhra orders two coffees.
Rudhra: “Oh! I didn’t know if you drink coffee. You do drink right?”
Vrushali: “Yes I do. Tell me what you wanted to say.”
Rudhra: “I saw you first at the temple.
The moment I saw you, I liked you.
Second time in traffic.
Third time last night.
Now I’m completely fixed.
I love you.
You live in Delhi, you have a job, and you might have liked someone before.
But you should know that I love you.
If I delay, I might lose my chance. So I’m telling you now.”
Vrushali: “Rudhra, I grew up in Delhi, I work now.
I may like people, but liking doesn’t mean we have to love and marry.
I like Mahesh Babu, Jabardasth Sudheer, even some people in my office. I can’t go and tell everyone I love them. Liking someone is common.
Are you thinking I’m talking nonsense just because you said you love me?”
Rudhra: “No, you’re very clear. I feel something happened in your life.”
Vrushali: Nothing like that. Normally, which girl will sit on a stranger’s bike? Without minimum security, girls won’t do that.
I had seen you before. I knew you already. My scooty didn’t start at the right time, so I came on your bike.
Actually, I like you too Rudhra. That’s why I came with you.
Otherwise I would have taken a cab. Even now I called you because I like you. I love you Rudhra.”
Rudhra: “I never thought you love me.”
Vrushali: “Adhira! Enough of your drama.
Just because you love me, will you follow me from Delhi to Vishakapatnam?
Our families know about our love. My parents agreed for our marriage. Dad got transferred, so I came here.
In ten days I would’ve returned to Delhi.”
Rudhra: “Adhira? Who is Adhira?
What are you talking about?
Your parents agreed for our marriage?
I saw you only ten days ago.”
Vrushali: “Stop joking, Adhira.
You said you want to become a hero, and that you’re showing me your acting for practice.
I agreed because your success is my success too.”
“This morning at home, since my family was there, I acted.
I thought you were acting too, so I came with you.”
Rudhra: “I becoming a hero?” “When did I say that?”
Vrushali (in anger): “Arey, will you stop acting or not?
Otherwise I’ll leave right now.”
Rudhra:
I don't know what your are saying; “My name is Rudhra.
I saw you only ten days ago.
I don’t know who this Adhira is.”
At that moment, police arrive and arrest Rudhra.
At Police Station:
Rudhra: “Sir, why did you arrest me?”
Inspector Chakra: “For trying to kill CM candidate Govindarajulu.”
Rudhra: “Sir, I never tried to kill anyone.”
Chakra: “Witnesses saw you shooting him. We have strong evidence.”
Constable comes: “Sir, watch the news. Govindarajulu is murdered.”
News from TV: Unknown persons attacked Govindarajulu’s house and killed him.
Chakra: “Constable, come let’s go. Rudhra, you come with us.”
Near Govindarajulu’s house:
Seeing Rudhra, Govindarajulu’s wife cries:
“He is the one who killed my husband, sir! Arrest him! You came to our house and shot my husband!”
Rudhra: “What are you saying, madam? I didn’t kill your husband.”
Chakra: “Rudhra! Come to the station. Whatever it is, we’ll talk at the station.”
At the Police Station:
Chakra: “Rudhra, I can put you behind bars.
I’m letting you go for now because you’re only a suspect in this case, and you helped me in a case earlier, so I trust you.
I’m sending you home for now.
You can go, but without informing me, you must not go anywhere.”
Rudhra: “Okay sir, I will go.”
After going home, Rudhra calls Vrushali:
Vrushali: “Adhira, why did the police arrest you? What happened?”
Rudhra: “Oh God! How do I make you understand? My name is Rudhra. I have been living in this house since childhood.” Please tell me “Who is Adhira? Why did you think I am Adhira?”
Vrushali: “ Adhira Stop your acting and don't play games. Why are you still acting? Are you thinking of leaving me?”
Rudhra: “How should I explain… Okay, you are calling me Adhira, right?
Then please make a phone call to Adhira number once.”
Vrushali: “I called in the evening, it was switched off.
That’s why I called the number you gave in the morning.”
Rudhra: “Okay leave about that, please try once now.”
Vrushali: “Okay, I’ll try! It’s ringing… Hello Adhira!”
Rudhra: “Adhira! Where are you!”
Adhira: “Who is speaking?”
Rudhra: “My name is Rudhra. You killed Govindarajulu, right? The police are suspecting me because of you. Tell me where you are.”
Adhira: “Tell me where you are, I will come and meet you”
Rudhra: “Okay, come to the place I tell you.”
Adhira comes to the place Rudhra told.
Both Rudhra and Adhira looking exactly the same, Vrushali was shocked.
Rudhra: “Why did you kill Govindarajulu?”
Adhira: “Because he killed our father.”
Rudhra: “Our father? Then you are my…?”
Adhira: “Yes, I am your elder brother, Adhira! Our father was a police officer.
At that time, Govindarajulu was a big rowdy.
Our father proved his crimes in court, and the court sentenced him to jail.”
After coming out of jail, he tried to kill our father. We were going to Delhi.
On the way, Govindarajulu attacked our car. The car fell into a valley.
While it was falling, I jumped out of the car and lost my consciousness.
“A man passing by admitted me to the hospital.
When I regained consciousness, I cried for our mother.
The man who saved me said the car had fallen into the valley and burned, and no one survived.
I believed that our mother, father, and you were all dead.
The man who saved me raised me and took care of me.
During my college days, I saw Vrushali. We liked each other, so I went to her house to meet her father.”
In her house, I saw our father’s photo. I asked her who he was.
Then her father came and said, ‘He is my friend, a sincere police officer. He never spared people who did wrong.
He once sent a rowdy named Govindarajulu to jail.
Out of anger for that, Govindarajulu killed my friend.
With the support of political leaders, Govindarajulu escaped without any case.
Because of his power, I couldn’t do anything to him."
Adhira:
“When I came to know that he was the one who killed our father, I came to Vishakapatnam to kill him. I didn’t even tell Vrushali about this. I thought I would tell her only after finishing what I planned.”
After talking to you on the phone, I came to know that you are still alive. Where are mother and father, Rudhra?
Rudhra: “Father died in that accident.
Since you were missing, mother and I thought you also died.
Now when she sees you like this, she will be very happy. Come brother, let’s go to home.”
At Rudhra’s house:
Rudhra: “Mom, mom, where are you? See who has come for you.”
Mother: “Who has come, son?”
Rudhra: “You come and see, you will know.”
Mother sees Adhira and becomes very happy.
Rudhra:
“Adhira, only we know that both of us are alive. To come out of this case, we have to do one thing.
The police suspect me, so I will surrender saying I committed the murder. After arrest, they will take me to court.
At the time of Judgement, you should come, and say that you committed the murder.
Since law works on evidence and identity. If two people stand in the same place, look exactly the same,
and both confess to the same crime,
the court cannot decide who is telling the truth.”
“The case will turn into a doubt case.
And in law, when there is doubt, the benefit always goes to the accused.”
Adhira “But what if they test fingerprints or DNA?”
Rudhra: “Our fingerprints are the same.
Our DNA is the same. We are twins, born from the same blood.” “They have no CCTV, no clear witness who can say which one.
Only one thing is there – two identical faces and two confessions.”
Rudhra (with emotion):
“In court, it won’t be about who killed him,
it will become about who can be proved as the killer.”
“And when proof fails, the law itself will be forced to let both of us go.”
Adhira (realizing):
“So we won’t be escaping…we will be winning through the law.”
Rudhra: "Yes!"
After two months: Court final judgment:
“Your Honour, when two identical individuals confess to the same crime, and there is no scientific or eyewitness evidence to separate them, this case cannot be decided beyond reasonable doubt.”
“And as per law, any case with reasonable doubt must result in acquittal.”
With these reasons the can be closed.
After court verdict at Rudhra's home
Vrushali:
“Don’t worry, Rudhra.
Just like your mother has both of you,
my mother has me and my sister Isha.
Don’t be scared. The responsibility of convincing my sister to marry you is mine.”
Ending:
Vrushali convinces her sister for marriage.
Vrushali weds Adhira and Rudhra weds Isha.
Both weddings are conducted happily by the elders.
…HAPPY ENDING…
