In the courtroom:

Bhallaladeva and Bijjaladeva are brought before the King and Queen. Bijjala is shocked to see Sivagami alive.

Bi: Aei Sivagami !!!!!! You aren't dead ??? You finally achieved it !!! You made that lowlife who killed his mother upon birth the King !!!! That throne he is sitting on belongs to my son !!!

Sivagami remains unaffected at his taunts instead looks pitifully at her son Bhalla.
Bijjaladeva shifts his gaze to Ammu-Devu,

Bi:You... you wretch !!! Along with that shrew you schemed and snatched what rightfully belongs to my son !!! Aaarrghhh thoooo !!!!

An infuriated Mahe draws his sword out of its sheath and rushes to strike Bijjala but is stopped by Ammu.

A: Mahendra !

M: Nanna, how dare he...

A: Mahendra I know. Go back to your place.

He obeys his father.Giving a death stare to Bijjala, Mahendra returns to his place.

Sivagami gets up from her seat, walks down the step and stands beside the culprits. Kattappa too follows suit.

A: Amma... Maama... why are you both standing there ?? Come over here...

Si: It all began with me Baahu. I was full of myself and the rash decisions I took ruined everyone's lives. I deserve to be punished. Even if it is death, I accept.

Ka: Baahu, you have taken the oath to rule justly. Don't forgive me just because I am your mama. Whatever punishment you give I will accept wholeheartedly.

After a moment of silence, Ammu speaks.

A: I won't punish anyone.

Except Bhalla and Bijjala, all look at Ammu with an expression of shock on their faces. Ministers and other noble men begin to discuss amongst themselves.

"Maharaja is not going to punish them ?? After all that they have done ??"

"What is going to happen ?? We have to endure these people for the rest of our lives ??"

Devasena looks at Ammu in question.

A: Silence ! I won't punish anyone. It was my Devasena who suffered the most hence it's only fair she deals this case.Whether she chooses to punish or forgive is left to her. Whatever judgement she gives shall be implemented without any partiality. This is my word.

Devu with tears filled in her eyes turns to Ammu who nods his head and slides his arm across her shoulder assuring that he'd always stay by her side.

M: Amma say amma !! Order me to chop their heads, I will do it and place it beneath your feet !!!

D: No Mahendra... calm down.

Devuu thinks for a moment. Getting up from her seat, she steps forward.

D: Before I pass the judgement,
I request the King to free Kattappa and his clan from slavery. There shouldn't be any slave in this kingdom hereafter.Every individual who toils hard for their bread and butter, should walk with their heads held high without any fear of being discriminated or disrespected.

Ammu smiles as Devu spoke what he felt.

A: So be it. Slavery will be abolished from Mahishmati this minute.

Kattappa and his clan rejoice. Devasena continues to speak.

D: Bijjaladeva not only brought darkness to my life but to Mahishmati so he will be thrown into a dark dungeon. He shall not see the light. Three meals will be served to him daily. He shall not be allowed to meet or talk with anyone. He shall live this way till his death. Whoever decides to help him will suffer the same fate as him.

Rajamatha Sivagami Devi gave way to emotions and misused her position to pass wrong orders hence though she is Rajamatha, her powers shall be limited. She no longer holds the ultimatum. The King will have the final say hereafter.

A mv: Oops so amma cannot say her punchline anymore. Devu hates amma saying that so she has put a ban on that. Devasena nuvvu soopereh !!

D: Kattappa, I understand you were a slave and bound to obey orders however that is not an excuse. You could have told the truth to my husband who as a Kshatriya would have happily laid down his life rather you chose to backstab him which is the most treacherous of all. We wouldn't do this to our enemies in war let alone a loved one. As a Kshatriya and the wife of an innocent man whom you attempted to kill through deceit, I can never forgive you. I once told you that the day I learn you are the cause of my husband's destruction, that would be the last of our father-daughter bond. I choose to keep up my word.

Kattappa drops on his knees and weeps as he lost the status of a father, something which he cherished and was proud of.

As for Bhallaladeva, he shall be dragged in shackles to the very pillar he bound me, tied to the post and tortured everyday till his death in the same manner he tortured the citizens. I will do it with my own hands!!!

She goes and sits beside her King. Everyone in the courtroom rise from their seats and applaud cheering their Queen's judgement except a few,

"Maharani, they have tortured the people of Mahishmati they ought to be killed instantly !!"

D: Instant death is a boon. It should not be given to them who dominated and tormented the innocent for years. They should suffer only then they will know the pain of others.

"You are right Maharani."

D: Ammu, do you have anything to say ??

Ammu looks at Devu with pride. He gets up and walks down the steps to meet Bhalla who still has his eyes downcast.

A: Bhalla, if you want to rule Mahishmati I will step down from this position but give me your word that you will not harm my family or the citizens and rule fairly.

He extends his palm to Bhalla.
All are appalled by Ammu's actions except Devu.

M: Amma, what's wrong with nanna ??

D: I saw this coming kanna. Your nanna is not human he is one exception a different specimen altogether.

Si: Baahu!! Are you mad ?? What are you ...

A: No amma he did all this because he desired the throne if he is given that he might be at peace.

Si: But he got to rule once and he caused havoc now again you want to ??

Ammu eyes his mother to remain calm.

Bhijjala then moves closer to Bhalla and whispers in his ears,

Bij: Now is the right time ra.. it's ok even if you don't get to rule Mahishmati but he should not !! Take your dagger and stab him !! Kill that lowlife!!

A: Bhalla, you still haven't said anything??

Bhalla limps to Baahu and pulls his dagger out everyone thinks he is going to stab Baahu but he drops it and falls at his feet. Ammu crouches and holds Bhalla by his shoulder.

A: Bhalla !! What is this Bhalla ?? Get up !!

Bh: (With folded hands) Maharaja, I am not worthy to even look at your face. How can you be so nice to me after all I caused you ?? I accept Maharani's verdict even if you kill me this instant I have no issues but in my next birth I wish to be reborn as your brother with a heart of love and compassion.

Tears fill Ammu and Sivagami's eyes.

A: Oh my Bav..uh..hu..Bhallaa !!

Bi: Eh ??? Bhalla !! You traitor !! Are you my son ?? Chi !!!

But Bhalla doesn't mind his father. Ammu picks Bhalla up and both brothers share a hug. Their mother too joins them. She is happy that her evil son reformed at last. Ammu takes his 'pee pee' out again to play a happy tune.

D: (Slapping her forehead) Karma karma...

Av: Sivu, is he for real ??

M: Amma said no, he is one specimen. Nothing can be done.

Finally, Devasena with a victory smirk on her face and 'Maithili' bgm playing, drags Bhalla in shackles and ties him to the post just the way he did to her.Bijjala is sent to the dark dungeon. The priest guy is whacked and chased out of the country by the commoners. Peace and justice is restored in Mahishmati. Aal ees well !👍🏼

*****

In Ammu-Devu's chamber:

A: Bhalla... sob sob... Bhalla... sob sob... my brother Bhalla...sniff sniff...

Ammu, lying on the bed with his knees tucked up underneath him and bums up in the air, weeps thinking about his brother. Devasena enters the suit and seeing him in that state she feels bad for him. She sits on the bed and gently slaps his bums.

A: Huh...uh...sob sob... Devu... Bhalla.... my brother... sob sob.

D: Ammu don't cry... it pains me to see you weep like a new bride who left her parents home ...was I wrong in anyway ??

A: No Devu, you did the right thing. Criminals ought to be punished just that my heart bleeds to see my brother pushed to this state.

D: Ammu, why are you so good ? After all that your brother did to us, you still love him so much??

A: If only he wasn't brainwashed by peddananna, he would have been the best brother anyone could get Devu...I feel sorry for him. God was kind to me but cruel to him. Paapam Bhalla. Bhalla... my Bhalla... sob sob...

D: Hmm you are worrying about him but do you think if he was in your place he would have felt the same way for you ??

A: Uhm...mmm... no he wouldn't. He would be jumping in joy and bursting crackers in celebration seeing my ruin.

D: Then ? Why do you have to be so nice to him ??

A: That... because...sniff..sniff...because...
I am Amarendra Bahubali aka Ammuuuuu!! That white beard fella designed my character to be like this, ever so forgiving so I am living my role. Blame him !! Sob...sob... if it was Billa, I would have beaten the pulp out of him but I can't because I am Ammuuu !!! I have to be soft-hearted.. sniff..sob...oh my brother Bhalla....

D: (Rubbing her temples) Ok ok now what do you suggest we do ??

A: Nothing. Just let me weep for sometime I will be alright. Can I sleep on your lap ??

D: Come...

He places his head on her lap curling his body like a prawn and clings on to her pallu. She strokes his hair. After sometime,

A: Say something Devuu...

D: Tomorrow we are all leaving to Kunthala for Mahe-Avanthi engagement. I am going back to my motherland after 25 years. Can't wait!

A: But I was thinking of something else.

D: What Ammu ??

A: Remember this bed ?? The same bed, same you and I, same positions 25 years ago.

D: Hmm how can I forget our wedding night ... you spoke about giving a grandson to your mother by the time I removed my jewels and came you were sleeping stretched out like a frog.

A: (Giggles) Devu...give me another chance no.. this time I won't sleep, I won't let you sleep also.

He winks his eyes at her and tugs her pallu.

D: Chi ammu...we both have grey hairs and now you want to..

A: So what Devu ?? If that's the issue I'll colour it black using your kohl then we will become young again.

D: No need. You sleep now we have to get up early tomorrow.

A: Hmm...

Cuddling with each other they drift off into a blissful slumber after a very long time.
