Blade Babji (2008) Timeline Explained – Every Event in Order

Babji impersonates the newly joined police officer Krishna Manohar because a police control room has been set up at the exact spot where the money is buried. By taking over Krishna Manohar's identity, Babji gains official access to the site and can orchestrate the retrieval of the buried loot without raising suspicion. This disguise also helps him win the police commissioner's trust and even leads to a marriage proposal with his daughter Archana.

Dharma Rao, the mason who helped bury the loot, later discovers the money and hides it inside a mattress. His wife, unaware of what's inside, sells the mattress as scrap to a street vendor. This accidental sale triggers the entire suitcase-and-mattress chain that drives much of the film's chaotic second half.

Foreshadowing: The timeline notes that Dharma Rao watched the burial, setting up his later discovery of the money.

While Babji and his gang were accidentally stranded in the Andaman Islands for a month, the money remained buried at the construction site. However, during their absence, Dharma Rao the mason discovered and moved the cash into a mattress, which his wife later sold. The police control room also arrived at the site, completely changing the retrieval situation by the time Babji returned.

Simham, a police officer, seizes the mattress containing the loot and transfers all the money into a suitcase, discarding the mattress. Meanwhile, Constable Edukondalu owns an identical-looking suitcase. Through a series of exchanges during the chaos, Edukondalu takes the suitcase containing the actual loot thinking it belongs to him. The suitcases continue changing hands through Babji's crew until they finally open the correct one.

Dharma Rao reports the mattress missing because he had hidden the stolen money inside it and was unaware his wife had sold it as scrap. He offers a hefty reward for its recovery, which inadvertently draws Babji into tracing the mattress and eventually uncovering the entire chain of possession.

In the final act, a terrorist faction plants an RDX-filled suitcase that looks identical to the one containing the stolen money. During the chaotic fight on the highway, Buchi Babu mistakenly grabs this explosive suitcase thinking it's the real loot. The RDX detonates during the skirmish, creating a massive explosion that Babji's crew narrowly escapes while still managing to keep the actual cash.

In the climax, when Badri claims ownership of the loot and the police arrive to arrest everyone, Babji uses his wit to persuade all parties that surrendering the money for the greater good is the better option. He convinces Badri and the authorities to relinquish the loot, and more importantly, pressures the builder into agreeing to donate the land to the slum residents for free, ensuring their homes are saved without needing the stolen money.

After being kidnapped and held captive by Babji, Krishna Manohar eventually escapes and reveals Babji's entire impersonation scheme to the police. This triggers the highway chase and final confrontation in the film's climax, as the authorities pursue Babji once his true identity is exposed.

Buchi Babu, the police commissioner's first son-in-law, recognizes that Babji is a fraud because he has been cheated before. However, he remains silent initially because Babji uses pressure and leverage to keep him compliant. Only when Krishna Manohar escapes and reveals the truth does the situation become unavoidable.

While the police commissioner proposes that Babji marry his daughter Archana and become part of the police force, the film's ending focuses on the resolution of the land dispute and the recovery of the loot. The marriage appears to be part of Babji's cover and legitimate integration into the police, though the final outcome of the marriage itself is not explicitly resolved in the climax.
