00:10Who is the wittiest jester in the land?
00:14Denali!
00:16Hits you with his wit, things get out of hand.
00:18Denali!
00:19He can build you up or cut you down.
00:22Denali!
00:24He's a poet, he's a clown.
00:26Denali!
00:27Denali!
00:29Denali!
00:30Denali!
00:31Denali!
00:32Denali!
00:33Denali!
00:34Denali!
00:34Denali!
00:35Denali!
00:35Yeah!
00:38The Adventures of Tenali Ramen.
00:46One beautiful morning in the kingdom of Vidyanagara, the esteemed Rajguru was advising his king.
00:54Beauty, Maharaj.
00:57The new palace will be an embodiment of unspeakable beauty.
01:02I have acted as consultant on this project to present a noble vision of you, Krishnadevaraya.
01:10Good work, Rajguru.
01:13I love it!
01:14Maharaj!
01:15Maharaj!
01:16Maharaj!
01:16Yes!
01:17What is it?
01:19I have a message from, from the Northern Emperor.
01:32He says, the military tensions between our kingdoms are an irritating strain. I am willing to visit Vijayanagara to forge
01:45a peace agreement. I will arrive in four weeks time, if you will permit it.
01:52Ah!
01:53He is willing to visit, is he? Why that little?
01:59It might be useful for you to talk to him, sire.
02:05Yes, especially with me advising and arranging everything. We can house the Northern Emperor in the new palace.
02:14Yes, very well. But can the new palace be readied in four weeks?
02:21No problem, your majesty. All that remains to be done is the painting, the art.
02:28I would like to help, sire.
02:31Raman, you know nothing of the visual arts.
02:35Well, I…
02:37I want to see what we have so far, of the painting of the new palace.
02:43Certainly, Maharaj.
02:52I like it!
02:54Please, come in, sire.
03:06Now, this picture is a…
03:13Get that bird out of here, you fool!
03:22Please, Maharaj, look at this magnificent work.
03:27Ah!
03:28I especially like this picture.
03:32You show excellent taste, sire.
03:35In this picture, the artist has employed Neo-Mannerist Chiaroscuro Perspectivity.
03:42Ah!
03:44And Tanali, what do you think?
03:46Nice hair, but I can't see her face.
03:51Ha!
03:52And you call yourself a poet.
03:55Why don't you use your imagination?
04:00This is my own perspective!
04:02Ah!
04:02Ah!
04:03That's right, Tanali.
04:05Have you no sense of beauty?
04:08Perhaps not, my lord.
04:10But there's only one way to find out.
04:15Allow me to paint the east wing of the new palace.
04:20All right, Tanali.
04:22You will paint it.
04:24But Maharaj…
04:25Bear with me, Rajkuru.
04:27Tanali, can you paint the east wing in four weeks?
04:31I can paint it in one week.
04:35Then it shall be done.
04:38I will need absolute secrecy while I work.
04:45And Tanali set to work, painting the east wing of the new palace.
04:50La, la, la, la, la, la.
04:52Hee hee!
04:54Aha!
04:55Hee hee!
05:01Just finish it!
05:03I want it good!
05:05Cheap!
05:05Fast!
05:06I want it yesterday!
05:08Quickly!
05:09Quickly!
05:12Ah!
05:15Oh!
05:18Maharaj!
05:20The Northern Emperor will be arriving sooner than expected.
05:26How soon?
05:27In one hour!
05:30Where is the Rajguru?
05:31Get him over here!
05:34Your Majesty!
05:36Rajguru!
05:38Is the new palace ready?
05:40Uh…
05:41Yes, Sire!
05:43Absolutely!
05:44It's…
05:45It's…
05:46Not ready!
05:51The…
05:52Northern Emperor!
05:58Show him in!
06:04Welcome!
06:05Welcome!
06:06Welcome, King of Kings!
06:07I mean…
06:08Exceptionally fine Emperor from the North!
06:12Yes!
06:13Welcome!
06:14Krishna Devaraya!
06:16Brave Warrior!
06:18I am honored!
06:21While you are here, you will be housed at the main palace!
06:27Hmm…
06:28But I've heard so much about the new palace!
06:31I thought I would stay there!
06:34Well…
06:35It's not…
06:36I will be unhappy if I don't get to see the new palace!
06:43Very well!
06:46Hmm…
06:47Nice!
06:51You see, in this painting, the artist has employed…
06:55What is behind that curtain over there?
06:58Yeah!
06:58Oh…
06:59That…
07:00Oh…
07:00That…
07:01That…
07:01Just…
07:01Just…
07:02Hello everybody!
07:05Oh…
07:06It's you…
07:08Oh…
07:09It's you…
07:11Tenali, show us what you have done.
07:15Certainly, sire.
07:17Ladies and gentlemen,
07:19Raj and Rajas,
07:22the East Wing.
07:24Hey.
07:26Huh?
07:29Huh?
07:31What?
07:33What?
07:37But I see no figures.
07:39I see no faces.
07:43Why don't you use your imagination?
07:47Have you no sense of beauty?
07:51I see a white hall
07:55with pictures of silly body parts.
07:59No doubt intended to ridicule me.
08:02But in fact,
08:04these body parts represent
08:06what the people of Fijianagara will look like
08:09after the war
08:11which I now declare upon you.
08:15No.
08:16Yes.
08:17This is war.
08:20I will crush you.
08:23I will crush you.
08:42Maharaj,
08:43my presentation is not over.
08:46Of all the impudence,
08:49what on earth do you have to present?
08:52A song
08:59Where is it to be found?
09:04Is it flying in the sky?
09:07Is it on the ground
09:09growing high?
09:11I can't see the picture
09:16It was there so clear before
09:19Maybe if I close my eyes
09:22I'll find a sense of beauty
09:29Shining on the backs of my eyelids
09:32Inscribed on the inside of my mind
09:36The rainbow that appears after a brainstorm
09:40The imaginary sun upon my face
09:47There it is
09:48Flying in the sky
09:50Growing in the ground
09:52I've found my sense of beauty
10:00That was beautiful
10:04It reminds me
10:06of the little dog
10:08I had as a child
10:10It reminds me
10:12of a jasmine tree
10:14in my home village
10:16I regret my hasty outburst
10:19I hope
10:21you'll accept my plea
10:23for a truce
10:25between our great empires
10:27I accept your offer
10:37And so
10:38Tenali
10:39with his wit and poetry
10:41charmed the hearts of all
10:43and saved Vidya Nagara
10:46from utter destruction
10:47At least for a while
10:51The end
10:55Tenali
11:02Tenali
11:06Tenali
11:07Tenali
