Kolaigaran (2019) - full transcript

"He is a murderer."

"He is a murderer."

'KOLAIGARAN'

"A murderer.."

"A murderer."

Hello.
- Sir

Prabhakaran has turned himself in
at R1 police station.

We haven't taken his
confession statement yet.

ADGP wants you here immediately.

I shall inform the area VAO too.

No, wait until I reach there.



Okay, sir.

Sir, he doesn't look like a killer.

We haven't informed the VAO yet.

I heard you ordered not to.
But why, sir?

First, let's hear his confession.

Go ahead.

'Smoking and drinking alcohol
are injurious to health.'

"Don't take my life away.."

"The marks of your love in my heart
won't heal."

"Don't you run away
after breathing fire into me."

"The taste of your kisses
will remain with me forever."

"Here I am, standing thirsty for
your love in the middle of a sea."

"I'm shivering. Don't you see me?"

"You are the only one
in all my dreams and I am.."



"Waiting for you, my dear!
I am all alone!"

"Waiting for you, my dear!
I am all alone!"

"Don't take my life away.."

"The marks of your love in my heart
won't heal."

"Don't you run away
after breathing fire into me."

"The taste of your kisses
will remain with me forever."

"Here I am, standing thirsty for
your love in the middle of a sea."

"I'm shivering. Don't you see me?"

"You are the only one
in all my dreams and I am.."

"I am all alone!"

"I am all alone!"

"When you are not around, I can
feel the darkness surround me."

"It's because you are my light
and you are all I see."

"Why can't we unite?"

"Where did my love fall short
and went in vain?"

"So far away from me..
Is that you?"

"Can't we eliminate
this space between us"

"and make our dreams come true?"

"Even the sea can't match
the love we have for each other."

"Don't look for me.
I'm just a sacrifice in your love."

"I will neither let go of you
nor forget you."

"But where do I look for you?"

"Waiting for you, my dear!
I am all alone!"

"Waiting for you, my dear!
I am all alone!"

"Don't take my life away.."

"The marks of your love in my heart
won't heal."

"Don't you run away
after breathing fire into me."

"The taste of your kisses
will remain with me forever."

"Here I am, standing thirsty for
your love in the middle of a sea."

"I'm shivering. Don't you see me?"

"You are the only one
in all my dreams and I am.."

"I am all alone!"

"Waiting for you, my dear!
I am all alone!"

'Last night, in two separate
incidents on the East coast road'

'two youngsters from Chennai'

'were brutally attacked
under mysterious conditions.'

'They were in a life-threatening
state when found by the police.'

'Further, a complaint was lodged..'

'The nomadic males will have
to fend for themselves completely.'

'The unconscious youngsters
are admitted in the hospital.'

'While the identity of the attacker
is still a mystery'

'it has been reported that the duo
could be a part of some gang.'

'Because the police have found out
that there are already cases'

'registered against them
in the police station.'

Bye, Mom.

Hello.

Hi.

Hi, Roopa
- Hi.

So, did he again step out
at the same time as you did?

Look, we can call it a coincidence
if this happened once or twice.

But how does he step out
at the same time as you do?

That too, every single day?

Don't you think it's too much?

Why should we think
about it unnecessarily?

He doesn't seem to be a bad person.

Do you know what I feel about it?

He wakes up, gets ready

waits for you to step out
and only then he steps out.

I'm sure he is interested in you.

It's okay if he
is in love with you.

But if he turns out to be a stalker
or an obsessive lover

then it's dangerous.

Please be careful.

I guess you're watching
too many movies.

Stop scaring me early
in the morning. Shut up!

Didn't Prabhakaran come
to office today?

He informed you yesterday
that he would be on leave today.

Did you forget?

I would have remembered if he had
asked for my permission.

But all he does is just give
information, right?

Isn't he a bit strange?

He comes in, minds his own
business and leaves.

At times, it's scary
to even talk to him.

Hello.
- I found the address, sir.

I will share the location now.

But please do not reveal
that I helped you.

Sir.

What happened?

Kotai is no more.

Babu?
- He is still comatose.

If he wakes up,
we can find out who did this.

But it doesn't look
like he will wake up.

'In 0.1 mile, take right.'

'You have reached
your destination.'

Bye, Mom.

Hi.
- Hi.

No, mom agreed.
My dad is..

Mr. Senthil.
- Yes, ma'am?

Drop me here.
- Ok, ma'am.

Roaming around town..

Shall I marry someone else?
I will thrash you.

Bye, Roopa.
- Bye.

Open the door, Dharini!

Dharini?
- Mom.

Dharini..
- Mom..

Dharini.

What happened?

Vamsi..

Vamsi is here, Mom.

What do you mean?

I had been to the supermarket.

I saw him there.

I am sure he is here for us.

Could it be him?

I don't know.

But I escaped
without him noticing me.

Who is it?
- The EB guy, ma'am.

Hello, control room.

Sir, I'm calling from the warehouse
road at Vyasarpadi.

There is a corpse lying in the
ground next to the warehouse.

Control room to Vyasarpadi patrol.

Control room to Vyasarpadi patrol.

Vyasarpadi patrol reporting.

Our location
is Erukkancheri high road.

There is a gathering
at the warehouse road.

Please check and report back.

Vyasarpadi patrol to control room.

We are at the spot.

It looks like CrPC suspect.
Please send in more force.

Sir!

Did the crowd contaminate
the crime scene?

A few people were here before us.

Once the force got here,
everything is under control

Everything is in order, sir.

Who gave the information?
- Someone staying here.

They called 100.

Did you call for the ambulance?
- On its way, sir.

What about Rani?
- Informed. On the way.

Sir, Rani is here.

Give me a pen
- Sir.

Here you go, sir.

Sir, ADGP is here.
- Oh.

Sir!

CrPC suspect, sir.

The body is burnt.

The face is damaged to the extent
that it is unrecognisable.

But it doesn't appear
to be done by a gang.

We can move further
in this case

only after identifying the corpse.

Not committed by a gang
sounds dangerous.

I want you to form a team at once

and start the investigation.
- Okay, sir.

See how quickly you can
identify the corpse. - Yes, sir.

Get me the report
as soon as possible. - Sure, sir.

Bring in that person
who saw it first.

I was the one who called 100.

Last night, I was on my way back
home after work at around 8:30.

I noticed something was
burning at a distance.

I thought the kids must've
set the garbage on fire.

But when I saw in the morning,
it was a corpse.

You may leave.
- Okay, sir.

Sir, Rani couldn't sniff
out any clue.

What do we do now, sir?
- Murali. - Sir.

The trouser worn by the deceased
was tailor-made. It's half burnt.

'ABAD' can be seen
on the tailor's label.

Maybe it's 'Hyderabad',
'Allahabad'.. Something like that.

So, the deceased might
not be from here.

You do one thing..
- Sir.

Check if any hotel
or lodges in the city

have filed a missing
person complaint.

Okay? - Okay, sir. - That'll be
good for now. - Sure, sir.

Hello.

Hello.

Hello.

It's me, Prabhakaran.

Tell me.

I hope everything is fine there.

I hope everything is normal.
- Yes.

There is no problem here.

Tell me.
What is the matter?

Dharini..
- Dharini?

Dharini is quite scared.

Pass the phone to Dharini.

Tell me.

Are you very scared?

No..

Yes
- Keep this in mind.

The calmer you are

the easier it will be
to handle this issue.

I am sorry.

One more thing.

The police have found the corpse.

You must have read
about it in the newspaper.

But there is no need to fear.

Everything is going
on as per the plan.

Apart from us, does anyone else
know that we are communicating?

No. No one knows.

Please maintain it
as it is.

Do not reveal anything to anyone.

If you have anything
to tell me

do so when I call you.

Sounds good?
- Okay.

Fine, I'll hang up now.

Just a minute.

Please tell me.

Thanks.

Thanks for everything.

It's okay.

The victim was strangled to death.

Then a rock was used
to disfigure the face.

The body was set ablaze.

If he was set ablaze
when he was alive

he would have inhaled the smoke.

But there is no smell
of smoke in the lungs.

What was used to strangle
the victim?

Must be a cable or a wire.

Look at the skull.

It's completely smashed!

It has been smashed in a way
that it can't be reconstructed.

He must be very strong. Otherwise,
it's impossible to do this.

Doctor.

Can you tell us the date
and time of death?

February 6th.

Between 8 to 9 in the night.

Is it approximate?

Accurate!

Get me some coffee.
- Okay, sir.

Any leads, Karthikeyan?
- Sir..

We cross-checked the fingerprints
with the criminal records

and we found no match.

There is too much sugar..
- As per the forensic reports

the corpse was set ablaze
using petrol. - Sir.

Everything has taken place
in a hurried manner.

The entire body wasn't
doused in petrol

which is why it is half burnt.

Sir, it seems like
an amateur killer.

Yes, sir!

We'll keep you posted.

Sir!

Sir.
- Thank you

Sir.

A guest is missing from
the Picnic Lodge near Central.

But his luggage
is still in the room.

The lodge didn't file
any missing complaint.

We found out while inquiring.

The missing guest's address
shows that he is from Hyderabad.

Where are you taking me?

I asked you
where you are taking me.

Listen, if I don't like the place
you are taking me

then I will be pissed off!

And if I get pissed off,
our whole day will be spoiled.

I hope you don't want
that to happen.

So, please tell me.
Where are we going?

Hey, I'm more concerned than you
that this day shouldn't get ruined.

So, don't worry about the place.
I'm sure you'll like it.

I will like it for sure.

But I hate surprises.

So, please tell me.
Where are we going?

This is the name and address
of the guest.

The entrance to reception
and room are different.

So, only if the guest drops
off the room key with us

we will know
that he has stepped out.

Okay. So, until what time
was he in the room?

Sir, we thought he was in the room
till yesterday morning.

But only in the evening
we found out that he wasn't.

Immediately, I asked his luggage
to be removed from the room.

I would like to see
the CCTV footage.

Sir, this hotel is exclusively
for elite customers.

So, we haven't installed CCTV
cameras for their privacy.

What's your name?
- Vignesh, sir.

Jagan.
- Sir.

Give me.. - Here
- No, thank you, sir.

Take it, man!

What do they mean they haven't
installed CCTV? - Unbelievable!

You guys are too innocent.

It seems, even the best hospital
doesn't have CCTV.

Didn't the people believe that?

Yes, sir.
We totally forgot about it.

That's our fate!
- Sir.. Just a minute.

What?
- The manager lied to you.

Good boy.

When I checked on February 6th,
there was no one in the room.

The business was dull,
so he let the room be

in the guest's name
for as long as possible.

The advance he paid
got over yesterday.

That's why he asked me
to clear out the room.

Please don't tell them
that I revealed this to you.

Shall I open the door, sir?
- It's okay. No need.

Jagan.
- Sir..

Ask the forensic people to come.
- Sure, sir.

You may come in, sir.

Okay.

Let's get started, Muruganandam.

Anything interesting?

The corpse's fingerprint
and the fingerprint

from the hotel
are a perfect match.

We also got a hair sample
from the hotel.

It's a perfect DNA match
with the corpse.

The victim's name

is Vamsi Kabirdas.

The younger brother of a minister
in Andhra Pradesh

Mr. Sathyanarayanan Kabirdas.

We inquired about the victim.

He has a very bad name.

For a long time,
he had his eye set

on the daughter
of his brother's secretary.

Her father handled things
until the time he was alive.

But after his death,
he tortured her mom and her a lot.

Unable to bear his torture,
they moved to Chennai.

He was searching for them
for the past two years.

Recently, he found out
that they are here

and he came to Chennai.

And he has been murdered.

Case of stalking, sir.

We can nab the killer soon.

Sathyanarayanan has already
received the information.

I have been requested to hand
this case to my best officer.

Vijaykumar.

Distribute all the cases handled
by Karthikeyan to others.

I want his full attention
on this case.

Okay, sir.
- And, sir.

We have found out the whereabouts
of that woman and her daughter.

So

I'll start my investigation
from them.

Who is Lakshmi?
- That'd be me.

We are coming
from the police station.

The inspector is here
for an inquiry.

Please come in.

What happened, Mom?
- They are from the police station.

They want to do an inquiry.

How long have you
been staying here?

Two years.

Who all live here?

Just my daughter and me.

Your husband?

Her father is no more.

And your husband?

What was his occupation?

He was Minister Sathyanarayanan's
personal secretary.

At Hyderabad?

Yes - So were you staying
in Hyderabad earlier?

Yes
- What's your occupation?

I don't work.
My daughter's working.

At Wonsoon.

As a customer care executive.

What was the reason for shifting
from Hyderabad?

Due to the minister's
younger brother.

I don't understand.

We had to shift here because of
Sathyanarayanan's brother, Vamsi.

Why?

He..

His character is not good.

He came to our house often
and misbehaved with us.

We had to go through a lot
of torture because of him.

We couldn't seek anyone's help.

So, we secretly moved to Chennai.

Sir, what's the problem?

May I know why we
are being questioned?

I'll tell you.

But before that..

When and where did
you see Vamsi last?

It must be around two years ago.

We haven't seen him
ever since we came here.

Really?

Yes.

Where were you both on February 6th
and what were you doing?

Feb 6th..

Last Thursday

I had been to the office.

When did you return?

Evening around 6:30.

Usually, the workload
is more on Thursdays.

My friend, Latha,
had dropped me off.

Can you recollect what you did
after you arrived home?

I didn't step out.
We were at home.

Okay.

It's nothing..

Vamsi had come to Chennai
looking for you.

And he got murdered.

Upon inquiring we got to know
that his character was not good.

Don't you worry.
These are just basic formalities.

I'll come and meet you
if need be.

Please cooperate.

Are we done here?
- Yes, sir.

Thank you so much.

Jagan.
- Sir.

Wait downstairs. I'll be back
in five minutes. - Okay, sir.

DCP Karthikeyan.
Can I talk to you?

Sorry to bother you.

How well do you know the woman

and her daughter
living across?

Not much.

Whenever I see them,
I smile. That's all.

Apart from that, nothing much.

Why do you ask?

Well, it's related
to an investigation.

And on February,
I think on the 6th..

Did you notice anything unusual?

Define unusual.

Any visitors they had,
any noise, something like that.

I usually return home
at 6 p.m. after work.

After that, I don't step out.

So if they had any visitors when
I wasn't home, I wouldn't know.

And I didn't hear
any unusual noise.

Okay.

Okay!

Thank you so much.
- Thank you.

I believe they are telling
the truth, sir.

Sir, I don't think they both
could have done this.

First, cross-check and find out
if that girl is speaking the truth.

What is her friend's name?
- Latha, sir.

Latha.

Inquire her.
- Okay, sir.

Hello.

It's me, Prabhakaran.
- Tell me.

Did an inspector come
to your house yesterday?

Yes, he did.

What did he ask you?

He asked us exactly
what you said he would.

What was your reply?

I told them exactly
what you had asked me to tell.

Do you think he believed it?

That's how it appeared.

Because after that,
he didn't ask anything more.

Is there anything else?

What do you mean?

Nothing.

Don't worry.

All these problems

will come to an end soon.

I will hang up now.

Do you think he believed it?

That's how it appeared.

Because after that,
he didn't ask anything more.

Don't worry.

All these problems

will come to an end soon.

'Will all the problems
truly come to an end?'

'Or am I giving them
false hopes?'

Why are you thinking too much?

What did you ask?

I asked why you are
thinking too much.

I trust you more than
you trust yourself.

Until you are here,
nothing will happen to me.

Got it?

You are too good
at reading my mind.

I don't know about others.

But I can read
your mind very well.

Do you really know me that well?

"Come closer and let me feel
that soft hug of yours."

"Come closer and let me feel
that soft love of yours."

"Come closer and let me feel
all of that softness in you."

"Come closer and let me feel
that soft hug of yours."

"Come closer and let me feel
that soft love of yours."

"Come closer and with all your
softness, make me feel alive."

"Let me feel
that soft kiss of yours."

"Let's put an end
to the shyness between us."

"Do you hear my heart"

"calling out your name?"

"Come closer and let me
feel that soft hug of yours."

"Come closer and let me feel
that soft love of yours."

"Come closer and with all your
softness, make me feel alive."

"Every moment without you,
burns me down slowly."

"Come back to me and save me."

"These sleepless,
lonely nights are new to me."

"Come back to me and make
my nights worthy."

"You're the glow in me"

"that makes me shine like a star."

"All my silence means is"

"for us to unite once again."

"I'm lost and struggling
in an ocean of dreams."

"Come back to me and save me."

"There are millions of ways
I would like to express my love."

"Only if you could
understand my loneliness."

"We are one soul with two bodies."

"I realise that now."

"I know you are waiting for me."

"I promise that I will shower
all my love upon you."

"Come closer and let me feel
that soft hug of yours."

"Come closer and let me feel
that soft love of yours."

"Come closer and with all your
softness, make me feel alive."

"Let me feel
that soft kiss of yours."

"Let's put an end
to the shyness between us."

"Do you hear my heart"

"calling out your name?"

Okay.

Okay, hold it.

Hold it tight. Okay?

Call grandpa when the fish
takes the bait. - Okay.

So, is it only your doubt
or everyone else in the team

has the same doubt?

Only I doubt it.

Why didn't others
have the same doubt?

They think two ladies
cannot commit such a murder.

And again, the way they answered us
didn't give rise to any suspicion.

When did the murder take place?

On February 6th,
between 8 to 9 p.m.

Where were those two ladies
at that time? - They were at home.

And that makes me
suspect them even more.

So, benefit of doubt? Isn't it?

I understand
it's a gruesome murder.

Even I don't think they both
would have committed it.

They say that they moved places
to keep away

from him and did it
without his knowledge.

If they had committed that murder,
they wouldn't have said so.

Because

then there would be a strong
motive to commit the murder.

Didn't it cross your mind?
- Grandpa..

You got the catch!
Good..

Sir, I've discussed many cases with
you even after you got retired.

But this is the first time you want
to visit the crime scene. Why, sir?

You strongly doubt the woman
and her daughter.

But I don't feel
they would have done this.

So, I shall investigate
this case from my end.

Most welcome, sir.

And, sir.
The corpse was found here.

A local guy was crossing
this route around 8:30 p.m.

That's when he saw something was
on fire as per his statement.

The time quoted by him and that
of the autopsy are in sync.

So, the accused should have
committed the murder before 9 p.m.

and fled the place.

Since it rained
the previous night

we couldn't find any clues
in the ground.

I don't see any link between
the suspects and place of crime.

Do you think two women
could have committed this?

Indeed that is impossible

but someone could've helped them.

A man?
- Perhaps.

Didn't you tell me
that apart from them

there is no one in their family?

To lend such help,
one must be a brother

or a father.

Why can't it be a lover?

Not just that, the victim
was strangled to death.

Now, that can be
done by two women.

They could've executed it somewhere
else and later shifted it here.

Then they could've burnt it, right?

Still, they would need
someone's help to do that.

I look at this as a well planned
and executed murder.

No, sir.

I feel that the murderer
is an amateur.

How can you say that?

They have tried hard to hide
the identity of this corpse.

But the evidence
from the clothes

and the fingerprints are enough
to confirm the identity.

These are the few things the
criminal was totally unaware of.

Sir, it's a call
from that girl's office.

He has a point.

Sir..

That girl's friend, Latha,
is back from her home town.

We can go to meet her tomorrow.

Sir, Vamsi's mobile signal
was last found

at Vyasarpadi on February 6th
and then it went dead.

Also, that girl's call records
have been checked.

She doesn't seem to talk to anyone
regularly over the phone.

She met a guy
at the mall yesterday.

He was her friend's boyfriend.

How long has Ms. Dharini
been working here?

For the past two years, sir.

Excuse me.

Here she is.
Please take your seat

This is Latha, Dharini's team
lead and her close friend.

Hi, Latha. How are you?
- I'm good.

A few questions
and then you may leave.

No issues.
- Good.

Okay.

On February 6th, you had dropped
off Dharini after work.

Is it true?

Yes. Usually the workload
is more on Thursdays

and so we leave a little late.

I drop her regularly.

Does Dharini have any boyfriend?

Boyfriend..
No, she doesn't have any boyfriend.

She interacts and socialises
with office colleagues.

But again, she keeps a distance
from everyone.

Does she really
not have a boyfriend?

No.

How can you be so confident?

Any idea about this investigation?

She told me
that someone was murdered.

Someone Dharini knew.

His name is Vamsi.

Didn't Dharini tell you
anything about Vamsi?

She did, but recently.

Aren't you a very close
friend of Dharini's? - Yes.

And you say that she didn't tell
about Vamsi until recently.

Similarly, what if she is hiding
about her boyfriend?

I can empathise with her on why
she didn't tell me about Vamsi.

But if she has a boyfriend,
I'm sure I'd have known about him.

If she had a boyfriend,
Roopa and I would know it for sure.

Who is Roopa?

So, even you don't think
Dharini has a boyfriend?

No, sir. In fact, I keep
pulling her leg all the time.

She won't even react to it.

How do you pull her leg?

There is a guy living
across her house.

He steps out exactly at the
same time she leaves for office.

Every single day!

So, I keep pulling her
leg saying

that he is interested in her.

But she never paid
much heed to it.

Prabhakaran.

He works as a supervisor
at Casa Grande.

His work starts at 10 a.m.

Then why does he come out
when she leaves for work?

That too, every single day.

Definitely, there is some
link between them.

We didn't doubt it
because they are neighbours.

Just because both of them
step out at the same time

we cannot conclude that there
is something between them.

Even if they don't talk to each
other while stepping out

we can still find out if there
is something between them.

Sir, her office pick up is here.

There she is,
but what about him?

Hi.

The cab left but he isn't here yet.

Sir, there!

Sir, looks like he steps out
every day to jog.

Sir

regarding Prabhakaran's details
that you had asked for..

I was checking online.

You just won't believe this!

'Contract killer, Aali, caught!'

'Aali was the primary accused
in an MP's murder.'

'He was arrested
by Prabhakaran IPS.'

'All the higher officials'

'appreciated him
on achieving this feat.'

"With God by his side,
he is a one-man army!"

"He wields a weapon like a warrior
and fights courageously!"

"With God by his side,
he is a one-man army!"

"He wields a weapon like a warrior
and fights courageously!"

Hello.

Hello, sir
- Tell me, Karthikeyan.

You call only when
you need something.

Sir, how have you been?

I'm fine.

Come to the point.
No formalities.

Well, an IPS officer
named Prabhakaran..

I guess he was in service
two years ago.

I just need some
information about him.

Give me two minutes
and I will call you.

Thank you, sir.
Thank you so much.

Sir!
- Karthikeyan..

Officer Kola Venkat knows
Prabhakaran very well.

I'll send you his number.
Talk to him.

Okay, sir.
- Kola Venkat here.

Venkat, this is Karthikeyan
from Chennai.

How are you?
- Yes, I'm fine, sir.

Venkat, I would like to know
about Mr. Prabhakaran.

Mr. Prabhakaran isn't serving
the department anymore.

Fine, can you share
some details about him?

He is a mentor to everyone
in our department here.

Even today, we follow his footsteps
on how to handle murder cases.

All of a sudden, he resigned
from the force.

Truth be told

the department still misses him.

He is a mentor to everyone
in our department here.

Truth be told

the department still misses him.

"With God by his side,
he is a one-man army!"

"He wields a weapon like a warrior
and fights courageously!"

"With God by his side,
he is a one-man army!"

"He wields a weapon like a warrior
and fights courageously!"

"Eyes like an eagle
and paws like the tiger."

"Mess with him
and he will knock you down."

"Gangsters fear him
and even the outlaws"

"follow the rules when he is here."

"He has a 'Never give up'
attitude."

"His hunting adventures never stop
in the land of predators."

"He always fights
against injustice."

"He never rests
until justice is served."

"With God by his side,
he is a one-man army!"

"He wields a weapon like a warrior
and fights courageously!"

"With God by his side,
he is a one-man army!"

"He wields a weapon like a warrior"

"and fights courageously!"
- Prabhakaran!

Drop your weapon
and proceed upstairs!

Or else, I'll finish off your men!

Prabhakaran!

Now that you've
finished off my men

I will come back for revenge!
I'll make you regret!

There he is. - Thank you.
- Thank you, sir.

Hi. How are you?

I'm fine.

Well..

I had visited you two
weeks ago, at your home.

I hope you remember.

Tell me.
What is the matter?

Nothing, just..

I came to know
that you were serving

the police force in Hyderabad
until two years ago.

So, I thought
you would help me out.

May I know how you came
to know about me?

I spoke to Kola Venkat.

How can I help you?

Dharini, open the door!

We suspect the woman
and her daughter.

But we are unable to move
the investigation any further.

Since you live
right across their house

and I have heard
that you have a strong

investigative mind

I thought you would share
some information.

What kind of information?
- Anything.

Anything at all.

Anything that you'd have
noticed by chance.

Nothing of that sort.

See, my point is

if the woman and her daughter
had committed the murder

they couldn't have done it
all by themselves.

Someone must have helped them.

If you had noticed someone
visiting them

or any description about them

please tell me.

If you doubt them so much

you could try third-degree
investigation, right?

Or why don't you try
the Truth Serum?

Third-degree..

Well..

I suggested that since
you asked for my help.

I don't know what else to say.

Excuse me.

"He is an all-rounder,
he is ferocious."

"He pounces like a preying beast."

"Obstacles don't bother him."

"Even if it is the whole
world against him"

"he keeps advancing
based on his instincts."

"You can't hide from him. He'll nab
you like an eagle nabs its prey."

"He is daring enough to call out
the lord of death for a face off."

"With God by his side,
he is a one-man army!"

"He wields a weapon like a warrior
and fights courageously!"

"With God by his side,
he is a one-man army!"

"He wields a weapon like a warrior
and fights courageously!"

"With God by his side,
he is a one-man army!"

"He wields a weapon like a warrior
and fights courageously!"

I was discussing this with Jagan.

I hope he must have told you.

Regarding Prabhakaran, right?

We don't know if there
is any kind of contact

between that girl and Prabhakaran.

But he has followed her everywhere.

Sir, he is an ex-cop.

Quite intelligent.

He very well knows
how we'll perceive things

and what problems can come up.

Except for the fact that he
followed that girl everywhere

he hasn't established
any other kind of contact

between himself and that girl.

Sir, if Prabhakaran had
really helped them

then how could he make
such silly mistakes?

We got evidence from the clothes
and the corpse's fingerprints.

He couldn't have been so careless.

So

do you strongly believe
that it's Prabhakaran

who helped the woman
and her daughter?

Don't you feel so?

Well, if Dharini had any kind
of contact with Prabhakaran

then why would he follow her?

That piece doesn't seem
to fit in the puzzle.

Mr. Prabhakaran.

If you're looking for my help

then I'm sorry.

I'm not interested in helping
you in this matter.

Moreover, I don't know
anything else.

I'm not here for your help.

I know you don't
like helping others.

I came to tell you something.

The first murder case I handled
after joining the department..

I solved it in a jiffy.

It was the situation that made
the murderer commit the murder.

He had a beautiful wife

and a two-year-old child.
He had a happy family.

But

the guy who died
was not a good person.

He was a seasoned criminal.

After solving the case,
I was in a small dilemma.

That is, the murderer was
not a professional killer.

So, there is no chance
that he would repeat the same.

What would happen to his family
if I put him behind the bars?

Should I arrest him or forgive
and let him go free?

Fine, for a second I thought
I'd forgive him and let him go.

But within a week,
I realised something.

Everyone who commits such crimes
will have a justification for it.

And if officers like me think
of forgiving such criminals

then most of the murderers
will be roaming free.

So, I came to a conclusion.

I didn't want to re-write
the law and order.

It's already written.

According to the law,
murder is a serious crime.

I put him behind bars.

He is still in prison.

I hope you understand
why I am telling you this.

Do you have anything else to say?

I am done.

We are here to meet the inspector.
- Please wait.

Inform them once the inspector
is here. - Okay.

Sir, how may I help you?

Why do you get into such a mess
at this young age?

I have committed a murder.
I am turning myself in.

Sir, Prabhakaran has turned
himself in at R1 police station.

We haven't taken down his
confession statement yet.

The ADGP wants
you here immediately.

Sir, he doesn't look
like a killer.

Dharini is my girlfriend.

Dharini and I are lovers.

But except Dharini and myself,
no one else knows about it.

Because that's how Dharini
wanted to keep it.

We won't meet often.

We talk a lot over the phone.

I don't understand one thing.

I wonder why Dharini wanted
this relationship to be a secret.

The thing is..

Dharini doesn't trust
anyone so easily.

Even though, she said
that she loves me

only after she trusted
me completely

she told me about Vamsi.

Vamsi had made her
life a living hell.

The fear that she had for Vamsi..

Later, I got to know

how badly she was affected.

I am ready to do anything
for my beloved Dharini.

But..

I couldn't find a way
to get rid of her fear.

On February 6th,
Vamsi came looking for Dharini.

Do you know in which apartment
does Dharini stay?

I hadn't seen Vamsi before.

But it was quite easy for me
to recognise that he was Vamsi.

Dharini? It's been a while since
they moved to another place.

There is no need
for him to doubt me.

At the same time, he didn't
have to trust me either.

If he inquires someone else there

he'll find out that Dharini
still resides there.

In order to prevent
that from happening

I must make him trust me.

And make him leave
from there at once.

My mind started working faster.

How come you don't know
that she has moved?

So, if I start asking
him questions

then instead of doubting me

he will get into a defensive mode
to prevent me from doubting him.

He reacted exactly I expected him
to. - I know her from Hyderabad.

After she moved to Chennai

this is the only addressed I had.

It's been long
since I spoke to her.

That interval was all I needed to
plan what I should tell him next.

They moved to Vyasarpadi.

I'll tell you the address.
Note it down.

It's quite far from here.

She'll be home by 7 p.m.
- Okay.

It'll take that long for her
to come back from work.

Take down my number. If you
can't find her house, call me.

Nice. - It was I who helped
them a lot while shifting.

Mention my name and she'll know.

For sure!
- Number?

My primary aim was to chase
Vamsi away from there.

But in order to get rid
of Dharini's fear of Vamsi

he must not exist at all.
This idea struck me a little late.

So, I chose a perfect place
to execute Vamsi

and gave him this address.

I was well prepared.

I reached before him
and was waiting for him.

Vamsi did exactly
what I expected him to do.

That is, instead of going straight
to the address that I gave him

he would observe
from a distance to confirm

if Dharini was really living there.

Disposing of the body
was difficult.

Instead, I thought disfiguring
his face would be the best way out.

I smashed his face
repeatedly with a rock.

I smashed it to the extent
that I lost the count.

But every time I smashed

I was relieved that Dharini
would live happily hereafter.

Everything was executed perfectly.

I returned home, thinking no one
will ever crack the case.

I didn't want Dharini
to find out about this.

But your suspicion..

It fell on Dharini and her mother.

I did this to save someone

but when she got trapped
in another problem

I felt that turning myself in
was the best option.

One coffee.

Sir, he has confessed
to the murder.

I had a doubt on him.

But I never expected them
to be in a relationship.

I am not sure, sir.

Karthikeyan

are you on your way to question
that woman and her daughter?

Yes, sir.
- Don't handle them roughly.

Go a little easy on them.

Jagan and Murali.
- Sir.

Go to Prabhakaran's house.
- Okay, sir.

Rest of you, come with me.
- Okay, sir.

What is the relationship
between you and Prabhakaran?

I don't understand.

Prabhakaran has turned himself in.

He said that he is in a
relationship with you.

He has confessed
that he murdered Vamsi for you.

Me!

Are we in a relationship?

I have hardly spoken
to him, sir.

I see him every day
when I leave for work.

We exchange a casual
smile and greetings.

Apart from that,
we haven't spoken at all.

Moreover

he claims to have called you often
from his landline phone.

We traced all his call logs.

And you have been receiving
regular calls from his number.

Those anonymous calls..

We had no idea who was
making those calls.

We keep receiving
calls regularly.

If we attend it, there'll be no
response from the other end.

Once we hang up

we keep getting repeated calls.

At times, we just leave
the receiver away from the phone.

We have enough problems already.

I didn't want to make an issue
out of those anonymous calls.

We never told or discussed with
anyone about those calls.

Wait..

You claim to have no relationship
with Prabhakaran.

You never knew
who made those calls.

Then in that case

how did Prabhakaran come to know

about the issue
between you and Vamsi?

Well..

Even we have no idea about it.

Sir.

Just a minute.

Did she claim to have no
relationship with him?

Yes.

Did they say that they keep
getting anonymous calls?

Yes. How do you know this?

Sir, have a look at this.

What's that?

What's this?
- Sir.

I was listening to everything
that was going on over there.

Is it?
- Yes, sir.

Sir.

Sir, now I am in the hall
of that lady's house.

Now, from the hall

I am moving to their TV room.

Moving on from the TV room

to their bedroom.

Now

I'm in their bedroom, sir.

Now again, I'm moving
from the bedroom to the hall.

Moving into the kitchen.

Now I'm in the

kitchen, sir.

Okay.

He must be a psychopath, sir.

When you told me that he claimed
they were lovers

I felt that there was no
possibility for it.

Will that girl confirm the same?

That you both
are in a relationship.

What's there to confirm it?

Of course, we are lovers.

How long have you both
been in this relationship?

I'll like the place for sure,
but I hate surprises.

So, please tell me.
Where are we going?

I like you a lot.

I know you like me too.

But we never uttered a word
about it so far.

I cannot keep it from you anymore.

I would like to marry you.

She didn't give me a reply.

But it was after that

we both became very
close and attached.

It was only after she started
trusting me completely

she slowly told me everything
about Vamsi.

I kept worrying about her

all the time.

Even without telling her

she found out that I was
worried about her.

I guess she actually liked it.

Do you really know me that well?

I love you.

She isn't like any
other ordinary girl.

But she confessed her love for me.

So, imagine the love she
would've had for me.

Imagine the trust
she would've had on me.

In order to save her

not just one murder

I'm ready to commit
any number of murders.

Dharini's happiness
means a lot to me.

He is highly delusional.

All that he is saying is a part
of his imagination.

I couldn't make him understand
that it's not the reality.

Such patients behave quite normal.

But his actions
are extremely dangerous.

Like you just saw.

I recommend immediate treatment.

Still, he is very dangerous.

Get the papers ready
and I will sign it.

Excuse me.
- Yes, sir.

His actions

and on contrast,
his deep silence..

Very weird.

Karthikeyan.

Sir.
- I think the case is closed.

Who is it?
- The EB guy, ma'am!

The case isn't closed yet, sir.

Could it be him?

I don't know.

But I escaped without his notice.

Who is it?

The EB guy, ma'am!

Mom!

You wretch!
How dare you!

You thought you could
escape from me!

If I cannot have you

then no one must have you!

Oh, no!

Let go of her!

Leave her!

Oh, no!

Let go of her!
I said, let go of her!

How dare you escape!

Die!

Die!

Oh, no!

You want to run away
from me, is it?

How dare you!

Dharini!

Let go of me!

Leave me, Dharini!

Leave me!

Who is it?
- It's me, Prabhakaran.

Your neighbour.

Please open the door.

What do you want?

I heard some noise.

Any problem?

N.. No..

A rat.

My mom screamed out of fear
on seeing it.

That's it.

Have you killed?

Did you kill the rat?

No, it escaped.

It's not a big deal.
Thank you.

Fine, okay.

Hello.

It's me, Prabhakaran.

I live across.

Do you think both of you

can dispose of the corpse
all by yourselves?

Don't worry.

No problem.

I'll hang up and talk
to you in person.

Do you hear everything
that goes on here?

I heard a heavy noise.

So, I came and knocked
on your door.

When you opened the door

the chain on the door was cut

and you looked very scared.

When I peeped in

I saw two feet.

If someone was hiding in here

there was no need
for him to lie down here.

Based on what I saw and heard

I predicted that this
would've happened.

My prediction was correct.

What are you going to do next?

I'll turn myself in.

I killed him. I'll turn myself in.
- Mom, what are you saying?

You're innocent.
- Dharini, shut up!

I committed this murder
to save my daughter.

I shall turn in.

One person couldn't
have done it all alone.

The police won't believe if you say
that you did it all by yourself.

They will arrest her too.
- Oh, no!

My daughter's life
must not get affected. I..

What should I do?

It's your wish to turn yourself in.

But if you want to escape

then this corpse
must be disposed of.

You cannot do it yourselves.

You need help.

I shall help you.

But

I need to know

who he is,
what the problem

between you two is
and why he came here.

Do as I ask you to.

You believe this is
what happened, right?

No, sir.

This is what exactly happened.
- No, Karthikeyan.

That's your assumption.

You don't have evidence
to back up your theory.

But I have the evidence
to prove it otherwise.

What evidence do you have?

According to the autopsy report

the murder took place
between 8 and 9 p.m.

Nothing is wrong there.

Do you agree that the
doctor's certificate is correct?

Sir.

Then whatever you said

must have taken place in her house
between 8 and 9 p.m. Isn't it?

Yes, sir.

It must take an hour to reach
Vyasarpadi road from her house.

That time can increase
during peak hours.

I found out where they were
when the murder took place.

The girl has called for drinking
water can at 7:30 p.m.

Upon tracing the call
using the mobile tower

it was near Anj Vilaku,
at Mambalam.

The guy who answered
was in the same area too.

When that guy came to their house
to deliver the water can

the time was 8:20 p.m.

That guy's statement
is another proof

that the woman and her
daughter were at home.

If the incident had happened
after the guy left

then they must have gone
to Vyasarpadi after killing him.

A guy who crossed
that spot around 9 p.m.

saw something was
burning on the road

and you are the one
who told me this.

In that case

do you think it is possible
to kill Vamsi

and burn him at that spot
within 30 minutes?

Impossible.

The woman and her daughter
are not murderers.

It's indeed Prabhakaran.

You are not agreeing to this.

How could they have done it

with so many evidence
pointing towards him?

Answer me.

According to the
autopsy report

the murder took place
in between 8 and 9 p.m.

When that guy came to their house
to deliver the water can

the time was 8:20 p.m.

That guy's statement
is another proof that

the woman and her
daughter were at home.

Do you think it is possible
to kill Vamsi

and burn him at that spot
within 30 minutes?

The woman and her daughter
are not murderers.

It's indeed Prabhakaran.

"He is a murderer."

"He is a murderer."

Mr. Prabhakaran didn't come
to work on February 5th and 6th.

Thank you.
- It's okay.

"A murderer!"

I'm ready to commit
any number of murders.

Dharini's happiness
means a lot to me.

Did he want us to identify
Vamsi's corpse?

How does he benefit from it?

I don't know, sir.

But one thing, sir. If he really
didn't want us to crack the case

he wouldn't have been
so careless to leave

the fingerprints
and the clothes as clues.

Only flowers?
Don't you want sweets?

I will buy everything, dear.

Don't you sleep off
after having food. Wait for me.

I thought it was my phone,
but it's yours.

So, whom were you talking
to all this while?

Of course,
I was talking to your wife.

Jagan!
- Sir.

I need all the newspapers from
February 6th to 20th. - Yes, sir.

Kola Venkat, I want
Prabhakaran's family details.

Sir, the case is closed.

Do you believe at least now

that Prabhakaran is the murderer?

Everyone said
that you are the murderer.

Only I believed that you didn't
murder or were delusional.

I said that you were making
a fool out of everyone.

But in the end

you made me look
like a bigger fool.

Because you did the murder.

That's what we had been saying
since the beginning.

That he is the murderer.

Just because Prabhakaran
committed a murder

doesn't mean that the woman and
daughter didn't commit any murder.

Even they have
committed a murder.

I don't get it.

I checked all the case records
when you were in the department.

Out of 45 cases,
34 were unsolved.

You earned a name
as an able officer.

Yet, how come you have such a poor
track record? I inquired Kola.

So many unsolved cases. How?

It's unsolved
only as per the records.

You don't know
about Mr. Prabhakaran.

He doesn't follow
the law and order.

He has his own laws.

He won't arrest a criminal
immediately after he finds him.

He'll first find out why
that person committed the crime.

If he feels there is justice in it,
he'll warn and let him go.

But he'll always have
an eye on that criminal.

He doesn't care
about the track record.

If a chance is all
one needs to reform

he will give him that chance.

The Prabhakaran
that Kola Venkat defined

and the Prabhakaran who
asked me to investigate

the woman and her daughter
using the third-degree

had a vast difference.

That's when I made up my mind

that you are involved
in this murder.

But I didn't know
how and to what extent.

The moment you turned yourself in

and confessed
to committing this murder

that's when I confirmed it.

That it was that woman
and her daughter

who committed this murder
and not you.

But his confession statement

and the modus operandi
of the murder are in sync.

No, sir.

If Dharini had told
Prabhakaran about Vamsi

and asked for his help

he wouldn't have suggested
murder as an option.

Then how did the murder
take place?

This is how..

The murder took place before
Prabhakaran got involved in it.

So, they didn't have any
other option but to hide it.

Karthikeyan, first you said
Prabhakaran committed the murder.

Now, you say it's the woman
and daughter.

What are you blabbering?

They both have done it, sir.

But Vamsi was murdered
by that woman and her daughter.

You are confusing me!

You've lost!

Why don't you accept it?

Moreover, on February 6th,
the day of the murder

that woman and daughter were
at home between 8 and 9 p.m.

Nothing happened there
and there is strong evidence.

Explain that!

I'll tell you.

The murder wasn't committed
on Feb 6th.

It was on Feb 4th.
- What?

You had planned it brilliantly.

The evidence from the murder site

that is the fingerprints
and the tailor label..

All these days, I believed it was
a mistake from the murderer's end.

But recently, I found out

that they were left there
as a part of the plan.

On February 4th, the woman
and her daughter murdered Vamsi.

On Feb 6th, you had committed
another murder.

And that's the corpse.

We all believed
that it was Vamsi's corpse

based on the evidence
you left behind.

What about Vamsi's corpse?

What did you do
with Vamsi's body?

You disposed it
in the outskirts of the city.

That comes under
a different jurisdiction.

Hence, it was not
linked up to this case.

Apart from that,
no one noticed it as it came

as a very small article
in the newspapers.

If Vamsi's corpse could have
been easily disposed

why commit another murder?

To trick the police!

Vamsi is a minister's brother.

The minister won't rest when he
finds out his brother is missing.

He'll search until he finds him.

So, the case will never close.

And at some breaking point
during the investigation

that woman and her daughter
would have confessed

Vamsi's visit and the incident.

So, Prabhakaran wanted to save
the woman and her daughter

and close this case.

Hence, the second murder.

And that is the intelligence
of Prabhakaran.

So, did he do all this

just for the love
he had for that girl?

That too, for a one-sided love?

You have no relationship
with that girl.

Then why did you take
such a big risk for her?

You have committed
another murder for her.

Whom did you murder?

Only you have the answers
to these two questions.

But you aren't going to agree
to anything I just said.

As far as I'm concerned

I don't see any light in this case.

It's a dead end.

Didn't he react at all
for whatever you said?

Sir, he didn't expect that I'd
come this far in the case.

If I had cracked it,
I think he knows what to do.

There is no use proceeding further.

Case closed.

Sir!
- Yes!

You have no relationship
with that girl.

Then why did you take
such a big risk for her?

Why must you turn yourself in
for my sake?

You have committed
another murder for her.

Whom did you murder?

You have no relationship
with that girl.

You have committed
another murder for her.

Why must you turn yourself in
for my sake?

I won't agree with it.

I need to have a word with you.

I am going to turn myself in.

But..

Didn't you say
that no problems would arise

and it would be easy
to get out of this?

No.

Everything is happening
as per the plan.

If you have to turn yourself
in to save us

then I won't allow it to happen.

We will turn ourselves in.

Dharini.

Listen to me.

I'm not turning myself in
for the murder you guys committed.

I have also committed a murder.

Do you remember the time
I saw you first?

Sorry. We just moved
into the opposite flat.

We have two huge luggage.

My daughterand I
aren't able to lift it.

Can you please help us?

Sure. Come on.

That was the first time I saw you.

But I have seen someone
who looks exactly like you.

I knew her.

We lived a life together.

Will you marry me?

I promise I'll take care of you.

Yes.
- Really?

I love you, Aaradhana.

I love you too.

'Aali, head of a famous gang'

'had murdered the ruling party MLA,
B L Reddy and got arrested.'

'Reports say that he escaped
from the prison last night.'

'Four officers, who were on duty
have been suspended.'

'Prabhakaran IPS'

'was the main officer who led
the mission while nabbing Aali.'

'Police sources say
that Aali had escaped'

'from prison with the intention
to take revenge.'

'Hence, the security has been
tightened at Prabhakaran's house.'

'Aali is a prime accused
in many murder cases.'

Why are you thinking too much?

Do you think that he'll end up
harming me to take revenge on you?

Nothing will happen to me
until you are with me.

"You are the soul that is filled
in me in the form of love."

Really?

I trust you more than
you trust yourself.

Got it?

Hey!

What's your problem?

All the doors are locked.

Don't you get scared
and scare me in turn.

If you are so concerned, you
could've reached home soon, right?

I am Prabhakaran's wife.
Who'd have the guts to attack me?

Aaradhana?

Aaradhana?

Aaradhana!

"You are the soul that is filled
in me in the form of love."

"You now live in my memories
and in the form of pain."

Every day, when you
leave for work

I also step out for this reason.

You look exactly like her
and every time I look at you

I feel like I'm looking at her.

I was on the hunt to avenge
her death by killing her murderer.

Tell me, where is he?
- If I say that, he'll kill me.

If you don't say, I'll kill you!
Now, speak up!

Tell me! Where is Aali?
Speak up! Where is Aali?

Aali.. Aali is in Chennai!

I took my revenge on him.

I used that murder to save you.

The murder you committed

was an act of self-defence.

What I did

was the vengeance
to take revenge.

There is nothing wrong
with me turning myself in.

I would've turned myself in
without telling you all this.

But

I don't want you to live
a life filled with guilt.

That is why I'm telling you this.

You must do me a huge favour.

When the police come
and question you

tell them what I tell you.

I have accordingly
set up a few evidence.

I couldn't save
my beloved Aaradhana.

Turning myself in for you

is something I choose to do.

I need this.

Please.

You have no relationship
with that girl.

Then why did you take
such a big risk for her?

You committed
another murder for her.

Whom did you murder?

Prabhakaran, if I can
find out so much

do you think I wouldn't have found
the answers to these questions too?

The sacrifice that you
have made for that woman

and her daughter is a great deed.

It shows that you are not
just a good police officer

but also a good human being.

I respect that.

As far as the department
is concerned, let my findings

remain a mystery.

I won this battle
as a police officer.

But in the name of humanity

you have won!

Salute!

"He is a murderer."

"He is a murderer."

"A murderer!"

"A murderer."
