Kaala (2018) - full transcript

Land

In the evolution of

human civilization...

...land has played

an important part

As civilizations developed...

...humans wanted to

produce their own food

They converted forests

to agricultural lands...

...making it an essential

part of human consciousness

Lands they toiled in

became their God...

...their religious rite

and a caste ritual

Land became power!

From our myths and epics

to the present...

in order to expand borders...

...and to assert power

many wars are being fought

The defeated side

is being enslaved!

Even in Independent India...

land ownership

land deprivation...

and the social status

associated with it...

...are all unwritten laws.

Even after many centuries...

...this situation hasn't changed

much in our villages and our cities

A considerable amount of

land in the cities...

...is retained by the slum dwellers

through their labour and numbers.

We call them the ‘Urban Poor'.

They face severe

oppression in this country.

Corporate companies and

land mafia feel that...

the land of these under

represented people...

...is ruining the beauty of the city

That they are unclean...

...and are criminal hubs

Together they conspire to evict the poor.

People are removed brutally

from their own land

They are either thrown

outside the city...

...or into match box

sized housing projects

They live and die with no

land to call their own

This happens in all our cities

with all of us as the eyewitness

India’s financial capital...

...Mumbai is no

exception to this.

'Ready!

Are we on air?'

I am reporting from the open laundry

in Dharavi’s 90 feet road

The State assembly elections

are round the corner

Ruling Party Chief

Haridev Abhyankar...

...announced 'Pure Mumbai’

scheme in the last term

A plan to demolish tenements

and construct buildings

Keys to newly built houses are

handed over in many places

'Puja' for the first building

in Dharavi is going on now

‘Arise’, a people’s movement

here is opposing this project

Come along, you will see...

The ‘Bhumi Puja’ is

happening on one side...

...and protests by 'Arise'

movement right behind

This first opposition to the scheme has

created an uproar among the residents

Hey, what are you doing?

Move

Turn it off!

Stop filming!

Sir, CAMERA!

(slogans)

We wash clothes every day.

We wash clothes every day!

We work hard every day.

We work hard every day!

Our houses are ours to keep.

Our houses are ours to keep!

'Our houses are ours to keep!'

'Say it loud'

Start!

'Our houses are ours to keep!'

'Our rights are ours to keep.'

Damn!

Hey, Move!

- Our rights are ours to keep!

- Hey, stop

- We will never give it away.

- Stop I said

We are the owners and

we don’t have a problem

What is your problem?

Hey, you are the Secretary

You would have a plan to

mint money out of this

Will you leave these

people hanging?

Are you the authority here?

Dharavi is going to be

filled with buildings

Saving the dhobi ghat!

Hey!

This ‘Akka’ has been

here for 20 years

What would she do if there

is no place to work?

'Our rights are ours to keep!'

- Brother is here. Come

- Let’s go

'We will never give it away!'

I thought there won't be

any problems

- Yes - Look what is happening

- Don’t worry about it

- Resolve it somehow

He will come here straight

Don't pick a fight with him.

I warn you!

Why are you all scared?

Huh?

We are just protesting right?

Start!

(slogans)

Our jobs are ours to keep.

Our jobs are ours to keep!

- Move them

- Yes, Sir

Go back! Move!

'We will never give it away.'

'We will never give it away!'

We wash clothes every day.

We wash clothes every day!

Our rights are ours to keep.

'We will never give it away.'

- Shut up!

You will demand any damn

thing, if it comes for free?

What did you give for free?

Is Dharavi your

father’s property?

Your father owns this? Tell me!

Huh?

'Anna', listen

It's unfair to give houses for

some and not for the others

In the name of 'Pure Mumbai'...

...you remove only the slums

Is that enough to make India clean?

Take everyone's

consent to decide

Hey!

Aren’t you my relative's son?

'What work do you have

on 90 feet road?'

Hey, this is my Party’s project

Look!

Don’t create a ruckus

Take your people and leave

Ok?

I won’t spare you because

you are my relative

Go back to your work

- 'Go on, do your work'

- Ey!

'Finish this by evening and…'

- Shsshk Shsshk

I won’t be intimidated

by your rowdyism.

I am a Marathi girl.

I live right here.

Hey, shut up!

You know who you are talking to?

- I know. I can see!

- How dare you?

Get down!

Step down!

Don't you dare

raise your voice!

Shut up!

Stop it!

- Stop it!

- 'Arrest them!'

Arrest them! Arrest them!

I give you 5 minutes.

Get out of here

Understand?

Who are you to boss around?

Wagging your tail for the

money they throw is it?

How dare you...

Devi Akka!

Hey!

Thrash them

Throw them out

Let go! Let go!

Lock your arms!

Lock! Lock!

Hold hands

Arrest them! Arrest them!

Arrest them! Arrest them!

Arrest them! Arrest them!

Chase them!

'Patil, get this done fast'

Vishnubhai! How dare you

demolish the Dhobi Ghat.

Let's see what happens to

your arrogance in a bit!

Stay right here.

I will go get him!

Beemji!

Listen to me

Don’t go

Where are you going?

DON'T...!

EYYY!

EY!

DON'T...!

BEEMJI!

Listen Kaala, 2 runs

out of the last ball

Hit it slow, I will take over

'Go on, big man!'

Ya right!

He will do it

- Let’s see

- He will!

Just 2 runs!

‘JUJUBI’

Anna, hit a six!

Watch my game now.

Hey! Bowl...Bowl I said.

Target the stumps. It is our game.

Easy! Easy!

- All Alert!

- 'Faizal, swing it in'

Hey, hold on

- Darn!

- Now what!

Are you ready?

- Put it now

- Come on, Kaala!

BOWLED!

OU...!

'Hey! Not out'

'No...Not Out'

Vaaliyappa!

This is a No Ball

What is it Brother-in-law?

No ball, see!

Pa, out

No ball!

Wide

Wide ball!

Hand over the bats

'Machaan', what say?

- WIDE

- You and your stupid cricket!

Wide!

KAALA!

They are demolishing the dhobi ghat.

They beat up my mother

Lenin and 'Stormy' are protesting!

'Vishnubhai is doing this, Kaala'

Vishnubhai, it is

Selvam!

'Justice! Justice.'

'We want Justice!'

Selvam Anna

We have taken up this protest

Don't deviate it

Take them all and leave

Justice! Justice!

We want Justice!

Justice! Justice!

We want Justice!

NO!

Selvam Anna!

Selvam!

NO!

Selvam, what is this?

This is a law and order problem

I would have to

‘lathi’ charge you

Go on, let's see

Let’s see you lay a finger

Shut up!

Do it

Let's see

Sir, just one second

'Saet'… Sir

Let’s compromise

I have sunk all my

investments in this.

If this project

doesn’t take off...

...my family will be

stranded on the streets

Please

I will do as you say

Not bad huh?

A tiger does change

stripes in desperation!

You want us to favour you?!

Are we mediating for money here?

Huh?

Bloody...

One tight slap!

They have hidden this

from Kaala’s knowledge

Then something must be wrong.

300 families will lose their jobs

Out of them 200 families

will not get houses

Such culprits!

Here comes Vishnubhai

What?

At the sight of you...

...we will tremble in fear, is it?

ANNA!

If you were getting involved

why would I be here?

I thought he was being

over-enthusiastic

I am gradually rising in

the ranks of the party

If I close this deal…

…they have promised a seat

in the upcoming MLA election

You...have to help me

Am I not your brother, anyway?

Hey!

When you need something

you call him your brother...

...shower him with love

These people should suffer

for you to gain reputation?

- That’s your plan, right

- Exactly!

When you become a politician you

lose all your dignity, huh?

Shameless people!

Vaali! Having a field day

because you have support?

Don’t forget your rank.

Ey!

Shut the hell up!

'Hey Builder!'

Only you can talk.

Anna, don’t create

problems. Please stop.

Kaala Saet!

They are trying to cheat you

We are people who wash clothes

Who will speak for us?

Where would we go, if not here?

'Aren't they doing this

because we have no support?'

Anna, she is lying

We consulted everyone.

Right?

'Did you talk about demolishing?'

Everything is happening with

permissions and procedures, lawfully

HEY!!

Are you talking about

the law to us?

We know how to respect the law

And if it oppresses us,

we know to....it too

You are going a

bit easy on us...

...only because of some

laws that favor us

If not, wouldn't you have

thrown us 7 seas away?

Look!

If you want your work done...

...repair all the damage

and change your design

They wash clothes for a living

They will do it right here

What she says, is the law.

Got it?

Yes

Get it!

Will we act against Anna’s words!

No sir!

Anna, we have to do

what you say. Right!

Builder! Listen to him

I will leave now.

Patil, let’s go!

Hey, Beemji!

- Kaala

'Who was it?'

He is the one.

- Him, is it!

- Anna...

Devi...!

Hit him back!

Ma, why are you hesitating?

Go beat him up, go

Anna...!

'Ma, why are you quiet?'

Because…she said…all that

Don’t listen to them and

do something stupid

'Disrupting the protest!'

They know only to rally

with their flags

'They know nothing else'

You bloody...

Take it

'Superb!'

We know to hold a flag...

...and to hit back

Yes! Fantastic

You raise a finger again

I will thrash you

Who are you messing with?!

'Ey! Why are you screaming?'

TAKE the hits I said

You are the reason for this

You think I am a dud

to be beaten up by a woman?

One stab...

EYYY!

Stop...Stop

Who are you to

raise your hand against him?

Huh?

If Dharavi is a tiny India with

all castes, religions, languages...

He is its King!

He is its Counsel!

If he gives you an order

shut the hell up and do it.

Do it!

We are nobodies here.

Nothing absolutely!

He doesn't realise that your

flag is flying here for too long.

He doesn't!

An out-dated flag must

be lowered, right!

Hey...wait till the elections.

We will take care of this

Let's hoist a new flag!

'Searching for your sunglasses?

It has fallen off'

Hari Daada is watching you!

- Move!

- 'Hey, off!'

-'Run!'

- Leave all of you

Machaan!

Let me share your

magnificence on Facebook.

'A sprout from the 'Tamirabarani'

river can't be tamed!'

When he was young he went

around picking fights, alright!

At this age, why can’t he just

spend time with the grandkids?

Instead…

“The Groom from Bombay”

How proud they all were

Am I not the one suffering now!

Aunty, it is “Mumbai"

Ya right!

Look, you have put too

much salt in this

Add tamarind water

Your Uncle won't like it

As if she is the only

good cook around

Taking on other people's fights!

If they have agreed

to build houses

Why should he go and interfere?

Ma, is it the first

time this is happening?

Come here, I need

to speak to you

Listen, whatever it is, talk

to your father directly

As if I don’t know

Hey! Tell me this...

You grew up right here, correct?

This salary and job became

possible from here right?

Now why do you find

Dharavi unacceptable?

Is your wife provoking you?

- Hey, What did I do?

- Why do you involve her?

Let Dharavi end with me

I don’t want it for my kids

Fine. Tell your wife to

stop watching Hindi soaps

Hey, which bone did

you break today?

Nothing Ma

Like father, like son

Uncle was fighting too

He will fight, of course!

Let me see how long

Even those who married into

this family don’t respect me

See...

I can buy him some beef...

...and make some soup

What will I give this one?

"VIGITARIAN" he will say

Aunty! It is not "VIGITARIAN"

It’s VEGETARIAN

So?!

I can only say VIGITARIAN

So what?

Hey, why are you hurting my son?

- Ya right!

- Finding faults with me

He has no brains

Don’t you have aplenty?

Give him some

Kids!

Don’t fight when you play

'Give me the toy'

- Kathirava

- What is it, Ma?

Why are you letting

the money fly?

Where?

Speak money and

he will be all ears

Where is it?

- Vaaliyappa!

- Hold on Machaan

Yes Akka

A friend must give good counsel

Why are you provoking him?

- As if he will listen

- 'Maama', sit facing the east

Why now?

Just do what I say

You are the talk of the town

Everyone was like...

"Kaala said this- Kaala did this”

You were the center of attention

Listen, evil eyes

should be warded off

Akka!

'Ok?'

You yell at him non-stop

But still, ward off the

evil eye. What an art!

- Go on!

- 'Hey! Shut up'

Akka, wait!

- ‘What is it?’

- Look, the revolutionary is here

‘Hello, Nephew’

'Did you wash the

clothes clean?'

You are trending on Facebook

I know you find this funny

Don’t make me angry

Who will cast an evil eye

on the defeated one?

I am not incapable

I fight for my rights

and will get them

‘We saw what you got’

If your husband hadn’t

come we would have won

Well said, revolutionary!

He would have won, my foot!

You fed off my breasts

Wouldn't I know you?

My husband is a Black Panther!

Without him, they would have

washed clothes on your head

What say?

Please!

Leave me out of this

Tomorrow he will

come with Stormy...

...and protest outside my house.

Hey! Ridiculing is it?

- 'Saw that slap?'

- Hey! Stop it

We will show them in action.

Let's talk, when it comes to it.

- Let me go

- Come

Hey, Mom is just joking

Why get worked up? Sit

Come. Sit

Come sit next to your pair

Sit!

No need to respect

your in-laws so much

- Just come

- OH!

How should I show

my respect, tell me

Should I lower my eyes

and be demure and all?

Huh?

Kaala!

Your wife talks too much!

Not at all!

My wife doesn't

talk more than you

Ey! Chatterbox. Come

Come sit here

Come. Sit

Uh oh! What happened dear?

- He hit me

- What happened?

Who? Sweetie!

- Athiyan!

- Why did you do that?

Grandpa, she took my toy

He hit me first

It is mine. Give it

No, it's mine

Don’t fight ok?

Who beat whom?

Nobody did

Nobody he says

No one should fight. Ok?

Akka, include everyone

Alright

God Kaala - Our Savior!

No harm should

befall my children

Protect everyone around us

'They ran via Sion bridge'

What’s up Kaala?

Warding off the

evil eyes!?

Out in the open, that too

Romance, full swing!

Absolutely

I am romancing my wife

Who will question me?

At this age huh?

Carry on. Have fun!

How old do you think we are?

As you age your love increases

- Am I right Maama?

- Exactly

We will do a duet and dance even

Hey! You start singing

The young couple will dance

I was just kidding

Navbharath Nationalist Party...

To rejoice in victory

This defeat is equal to death.

You have made an easy task...

...difficult

Still...

Rising after a fall is fun.

There are many ways to win.

'I know them all!'

'Tender for Dharavi rehabilitation...'

Give it here

Vaaliyappa. Look here

They have announced it!

What is it Uncle?

Dharavi is going to be

filled with buildings

The news is out

Perumalsamy!

Lot more will happen

Wait and watch

Dharavi is ours, Brother

Go tell everyone, Dharavi is ours.

(NEWS) 'That was live from headquarters...'

'Increase the volume, please'

(NEWS) 'You were watching

the press conference live'

'The Govt. has agreed to implement

‘Pure Mumbai’ scheme in Dharavi'

'This scheme was stalled many

times due to opposition'

There is going to be tough

competition for the tender

What are you looking at?

This will be the

only news from now

Isn't it time?

Let's go

Come on!

Is someone going

to pick us up, Ma?

It’s actually big!

'Zareena Madam’

Ma!

'Vanakkam' Madam

How are you?

All good?

Fine! Fine!

Welcome!

- Lenin works with us

- So nice to meet you!

My darling!

You have to live a 100 years

Live well, my dear!

Bhavani Akka!

- 'Vanakkam'

Meet Zareena Ma'am

- She has come from abroad

- Are you good?

Here...

The person who has

come here today...

...is Zareena Madam.

She has won many

international awards.

For the urban poor in

African countries...

to lead a dignified life...

...she has built

1000's of buildings

Her coming to Dharavi...

...was made possible

by Perumalsamy Anna

- 'Perumalsamy, Anna!'

- 'Super'

Good times await us, truly

As our first task...

...we have to get a quotation

ready for the tender

We need to mention

our fundamental needs

Attach it with the quotation

If the Govt. likes it

They will allot us the tender

- Am I right?

- 'Yes, Yes'

Now...

Let's list everything

we need, one by one

When you hurry to the

toilet in the morning...

...is it possible to

squat peacefully?

Non- stop

Knocking

We should first put an end

to this public toilet nuisance

Right! A toilet in

each house sounds good

But, how will you

meet your lovers then?

That is where I met

my husband first

My parents never let me

step out of home

I would meet my husband

when I went to use the toilet

- ‘Go now, too’

- Buzz off

What other things

do you need?

Akka, we need a playground

We need schools

and colleges here

I want a Gym

Hospitals, good roads,

fresh drinking water!

No privacy in the house

for a couple to sit and talk

You stay up like an

owl to hold hands.

By the time you kiss…

That’s it!

Ya right!

You say your side of the story

Such a tiny space

with adolescent kids

You know how embarrassing it is?

A house to lie down comfortably

at least before I die

That’s all I need

- Bro!

Fellow-students say...

...Dharavi is a dump yard,

an ugly place.

We must change the

name “Dharavi” first

You are right! Say

the name Dharavi...

...and the police pull

you in some case

We have to make the

'Ganesh' Temple bigger

Isn't that our identity?

What about the Mosque?

So many Tamil Muslims

helped build it

We should preserve it too!

Cross road, 90 feet, Kalyanwadi…

...Tamil people should stop living in

neighbourhoods divided by caste, Bro

‘Absolutely’

Ma'am!

Please...a few words Ma'am!

Vanakkam

I...

I was born and

brought up in Dharavi

My family lived right here

in Beema Chawl

Whose family there?!

We are Muslims

from 'Pathamadai'

In the 1970's....

...there was

There was a riot

Remember?

That's when...

That's when we left

I have gone around

the whole world

Rio…in Brazil…

- The Olympics venue?!

- Yes!

That city has many big slums

There...

Even when I worked there

The place...

The place I was born...

...must also be like this

was my constant thought

But...

I never came back to Dharavi

I kept thinking...

...that I must come back

So…

But...

...I can’t do anything alone

It's our Dharavi!

We must join hands

to develop it!

(people cheer)

When Dharavi was a garbage dump

nobody cared for us.

We are now the center

of the city, right?

Everyone’s eyeing us

- Rightly said

Govt. is backing them too

We have to be careful.

If we stand together

nobody can do anything.

-Salaam. Vanakkam

- Sure Machaan. One tight slap!

- Yes Anna

- You are right!

Electricity Board, I tell you!

- Sister, good tea. See you

- Okay!

Machaan!

A new group has joined hands

with “Arise” Movement, you heard?

Pa, for every new

building in Dharavi...

...Perumalsamy gets

two flats free

Like a bribe!

These people are unaware of it

Why can’t they consult us?

- Haven’t you slept Bhavani?

- Not yet

Machaan, why isn't anyone here?

Ya!

Machaan...Machaan

- SSSHHH

'What's your name?'

- 'Tell her your name'

- 'Say it, dear'

- 'Come on, say your name'

- 'No, I won't'

Zareena!

You are the

Only Zareena has the guts

to call you by your name

Even my sister doesn't!

'Am I right Akka?'

W-W-When did you come?

Did you e-e-eat anything?

- Are...you good?

- Why? What happened?

Is your mouth

typing a telegram?

'Calm down! Relax!'

'My Akka is making amends!'

Coffee or tea?

‘COFFEE, COFFEE!’

'Coffee, it seems

You haven’t forgotten?!'

You too

- Ok Akka

Hey, Akka is creating

Get in all of you

- ‘Are you all here?’

Go clean the jeep, go

Akka, give me a coffee too

'Machaan, you carry on'

Hey, kiddos!

Stop peeping

Get in

Machaan is trying to talk

Stop staring at him!

(clears throat)

So Karikaalan...

It is so nice to see you

It's been so many years and...

You look...you look well

Wow!

You can talk so much, is it?

It has taken me so many

years to know this!

So...

How are you, then?

Are you going to

be here from now?

Why?

You want to send me back?

I am going to be here

I am going to work here

I need to meet builders

I meant

No, No, No, No

"I know Englees!"

Thanks

- 'Nice'

'No mention'

- 'Of course, my Akka knows english!'

- Akka. Come here

- Ya!

Joking unaware of

the situation, Come!

What is it?

What?

Ex- lovers have met

They will have lots to talk

Why are you a hindrance?

One slap and your head will turn.

Charumathi!

Ey, Stormy!

Look, she is calling

She responds only if

you call her ‘Stormy’

- Wait. Eat something

- No. No

My daughter is waiting

- Some other day

- Alright

See you all

'Come often

Machaan will like it’

Bye, Karikaalan

See you

'Lenin!'

Listen!

How do they drink this nonsense?

Why do you drink it then?

Those days…

'…this land was filled with

sludge and wild grass'

'When our people came from Tirunelveli

seeking jobs with their kith and kin'

'Vengaiyan would

help them build huts'

'He was the center of everything'

'Huts with 4 logs and a tarpaulin'

'Then half built walls and tin roofs'

'We owe our life here, today...'

'...to your grandpa Vengaiyan'

'Every time...'

'...we tried to setup a place

there were so many problems'

'This Hari...'

'...big leader...my foot!'

'He was a nobody

compared to Vengaiyan'

'Hari was supported by the ruling party'

They waited till we took a

space, readied it, built houses

Then they would come to...

...chase our people away

Brave Vengaiyan!

Would not allow it

'Youngsters from the make-shift

dorms backed Vengaiyan'

'Hands that toiled in farms

Won't they know to take up arms?'

'Hari Daada couldn’t

do anything here'

'Vengaiyan ruled over

Dharavi like that'

He couldn’t take it

Suddenly...

...Indira Gandhi

declared Emergency

'Hari used the situation and

entered Dharavi with the police'

'To protect themselves

Kaala and Vengaiyan...'

'...jumped into

Pathamadai Ayub’s house'

'There was no

electricity back then'

'It was pitch-black'

'Zareena came with a chimney lamp

and stood in front of Kaala'

'Wow! Just wow!'

'Machaan was swept away'

There must have

been sparks, right?

Absolutely. Absolutely!

Akka! Look

They had just started

SIWS Junior College

'My College...'

'at the water pump...'

'at the toilet

near the temple...'

'...at Aurora theatre'

I didn't miss out

on a single place!

I followed her like a madman

The news about our love

spread like wildfire

'We never expected...'

'my father and my relatives...'

'...to accept our

relationship so soon'

A life with my

favorite Karikaalan...

...was starting

I was excited about it

'Our marriage was finalized'

'But…'

In his desperation

to take over Dharavi...

this Hari Daada...

...was trying to finish

off Vengaiyan somehow

'He used Kaala’s wedding

as an opportunity'

'They killed anyone

who came their way'

'Our people didn’t

know what to do'

'Hari Daada slaughtered Vengaiyan

in front of Kaala’s eyes'

'The wedding stage was blazing'

'That day, that fire separated

Kaala and Zareena forever'

'Our dream was shattered'

'To get to know that

Karikaalan was fine...'

'...took me so many years'

'Fearing the riots,

my grandparents...'

...took me to Nasik

At that age, I couldn’t

decide what to do

A Pastor sent me

to the US to study

Showing riots as a reason

they banished Kaala

Almost like an exile

We didn’t know where

Kaala was so lost with no

information on Zareena

We couldn’t find out

about her at all

He started growing the beard

Hasn’t taken it since

'I got married

unaware of all this'

Hindi sad songs, all the time

♪ Between you and me ♪

It would go on and on

Will I be quiet?

I would even the score

with an 'Ilayaraja' song

"Zareena!"

He would call in a hurry

Then he will salvage it somehow

I used to curse my fate

Doesn't dad love you?

Go ask your father

He is a nobody

without this Selvi

'Aunty!'

I think Uncle is

smitten by Zareena

Why wouldn’t he!

Doesn’t she look like

'Madhuri Dixit'?

'Hey! My Akka is the best'

Come in, Zareena.

No. I got some work.

Lenin?!

Lenin? Let me get him.

Hey Lenin!

Where is he?

Hey, LENIN!

- Pa?

- Uncle?

- Wh..wh...where is he?

- What happened Uncle?

- WHERE?

- Up there

There!

Where the hell did he disappear?

- Hey! Come soon

- What happened?

- Zareena is waiting

- Who?!

Zareena is waiting!

Quick. Go

'Hello, Madam'

What is happening?

- 'Were you busy?'

'I was getting ready'

Why is he so jumpy?

'Looks like it will rain'

'Ya.Ya.'

- Lets leave?

- Yes

- Bye - See you

Let's go Ma'am

- Ya

The first time

I saw your face...

…is still clear

in my memory

I was so scared

How you were

looking at me!

I know

You covered your knees

as soon as you saw me

Threw a dupatta over yourself

You were wearing a rose

colour shirt and...

...a brown colour skirt

It hasn't left my eyes still

Wow!

How well you remember!

Do you like me so much?

A lot

Till now!

I couldn’t accept...

...that you wouldn’t be mine

But, this life…

…is so terrible

Brings me to you

one more time

Watches the spectacle!

Sorry

Listen, how are you

still so young?

Ya right!

I am being serious

Look at me

Old and grayed

But you?

Thanks

My daughter’s friends

say this too

Hey, I was just joking

You took that seriously and...

Don’t you feel that

you missed me?

I feel that a lot

I wish you hadn't

seen me again

I think that a lot

Selvi trusts me a lot

I should make sure that she

isn't disheartened, even mildly

Because...

...I am her universe

Just me

Even now...

...she would know

that I am meeting you

But she didn't say a word

Your life...

...will not be affected

even a bit by me

I am not thinking

on those lines

I know

What is this, Karikaalan!

I am not your Zareena

I have changed

Completely!

To be that person

in your memories...

...is all I want

I...I...feel

a bit weird

Like, Selvi...

...is right

next to you

Let’s go Karikaalan

Please...

...don’t call me that

Ok!

I will leave now

♪ My Darling

♪ My Dearest

♪ O my darling!

♪ O my Dearest

Haven’t you slept yet?

Sleeping with my eyes open

Can’t you see?

Hey

I just went to have a

chat with her

Did you?

My eyes were filled with you

I couldn’t even look at her

Oh! What flattery!

Look! I am going to Tirunelveli

Why?

You think only

you had lovers?

I studied Grade 8

at 'Ambai'

Walked all the way

'Parai' drum player Perumal

Was behind me like a madman

I liked him as well

But you brought

me here

Listen, book me a ticket

I will go

have a chat with him

Just like you

'Rules should be the same, right?'

Hey!! Selvi!

S...S...Selvi!

She is not the Zareena

I had known

She seems like another person

She feels that

I have changed too

Really?

Why would I lie?

Then say you love me

Hey!

You won’t say, is it?

Hey... No...No…

I love you my dear

I love you my darling

I feel like crying

But I won’t!

Why should I?

No…No…You shouldn’t

cry my darling.

I love you

So...

...were you really

in love with Perumal?

It’s raining. Wow!

Good rains, right?

Machaan

The same message is being

forwarded for the 9th year now

Idiots. I am receiving

for the 6th time

‘Are you serious?’

We are going to do what

no one else could in Dharavi?

How you made fun always!

Watch what we do now

- Is it?

- 'On my way, Madam'

My dear Nephew!

Is Dharavi getting a golden roof?

'Come to the Temple tomorrow'

‘Arise’ movement will lead from now on!'

'We have won the tender'

Ya, ya!

'Bring the leader of

your Asura clan too'

- 'OK?'

Ya!

‘Dharavi: Now

Let’s see how this will change'

'First. Houses'

'225 to 350 square feet houses'

'Not for everyone

For those the Govt. qualifies...'

'...in batches'

'Then, Golf Course...'

'...Hospitals, Pubs, Schools'

'Your children will get

free education in these schools'

'Rich kids will have a separate school'

'Hospital will be the same'

'You can avail free treatment

ONLY during weekends'

- Noticed the golf ground? - Superb

'Where do we get money for this?'

'Let’s sell the buildings

along the main road'

'What do you think?'

- That's not our sector

- 'We don't want freebies'

- This side

- 'You think!'

'Isn't it a silent revolution

for equality!'

- Thank you so much

- Thank you!

So kind of you!

- Thank you so much, Sir

- Thank you so much

Superb!

It’s so overwhelming!

Saw how our new

Dharavi will look?

Huh?

Our Architect sir...

...and our Builder

deserve a round of applause

Dharavi WILL have a new name!

Dharavi will be

truly liberated now

Yay! My friends will

visit me now. Superb!

Sir, why do we need

a golf course?

Cricket, football and kabadi

are our games, right

Hey! Quit blabbering

Lenin!

What’s wrong in what he says?

'Why do we need a golf course?'

Hey! It’s ok. It’s ok

Everything has to become

high-class

'Otherwise, how will your friends

respect you?'

'Exactly!'

Your happiness...

...is our priority

Zareena Ma’am is here

to do exactly this

This is a victory

for all of us!

Ey!

Applaud for Hari Daada’s victory!

What are you looking at?

Idiots! Go on!

Carry on! Louder!

You will never…

What are you all looking at?

Vishnu can’t do anything directly

So you have come

in the name of change

You praise him

and he appreciates you!

What is all this drama?

Uncle, you have started

your nonsense, is it?

Hey! Why are you threatening him?

Isn’t that the truth?

Don’t you know

who is Manu Builder?

Selvam, don’t start off

on this tangent

Isn’t it enough

if our job gets done?

You want these people

to live in this muck?

Who came to us

when we were in muck?

'Now...'

'...we have made

this place liveable'

'They come drooling'

We have Bandra-Kurla

complex on one side

5 railway stations around

'Commuting from Dharavi

to anywhere in Mumbai is easy'

That's the reason

MLA sir, wait!

Don’t misinterpret this

This is not our motive

'Who is this halfwit?'

Stadiums and golf course,

it seems

It takes 74 acres

to build a golf course

Let's say you build it in 50 acres

Why should we give all that land

and end up in 225 sq.ft houses?

Are we idiots to exchange

a goldmine for chaff?

'Ey! Stormy'

Attached toilets in a house

is enough, is it?

Ya! You will raise buildings here

Won’t Kaala’s reputation be dented?

- Hey!

- Ey!

How will he survive then?

He needs a share, Madam

Give him that

He will be quiet

Come let’s go

Non sense

Stop it

Stop it, I said

So many Govts.

So many builders

But nothing has changed

'Here comes the NGO Madam!'

Nothing has changed

since the time I left

You have concerns, you have problems?

Then give it to me in writing

KARIKAALAN

You create a ruckus and

leave without a word?!

Listen, let me come

straight to the issue

This is our land

A land that our ancestors created

Ask the Government to help us

We will build our houses

the way we want to

And keep it clean

I guarantee you that

We all do

What do you all say?

- (people agree)

Govt. will do everything, is it?

What will the Govt. do then?

Don’t say that the Govt.

is in debt

... Govt. officials and politicians

live comfortably with scammed money

Where did that money come from?

Huh?

'On the point!'

You sell this land now, right now

Just the land will

fetch you 400 billion!

You want us to give it all

up and live like losers?

Hey, Rebel leader!

Shut this market and come home

Infuriating…!

Stupid people!

Give me the spanner

'Why are you breaking it?

Ma, don't interfere'

'What?'

Grandpa..Lenin Uncle

is breaking something

Let's just do our job, alright?

Ey! Where are you going?

Listen to me

- Let me go

I will slap you now

Where are you going?

Dei...

All that you broke now

are what I earned

What your brothers earned

I will break it all

So biased all the time

Say to my face that

I have no rights

Beating around the bush

Chi...why are you crying?

Why did I give you that

Revolutionary's name!

I am unable to even yell at you

Did I ask you? I will

change that name

You keep quiet!

Don’t cry my darling

Let’s change that name

We will call you Vengaiyan...

Not that name

Take my Dad's name 'Muniyan'

Ma!

You think it's funny?

Ganging up!

Hey, are we running a show here?

Get lost, I warn you

It’s ok dear

What?

We gathered a group

to do some good things

He ruined it all

Some nonsense or the other

Ya...

We are the pawns

for your revolution?

Why not? Are you the

decision maker here?

Lenin, watch your tongue!

Things will go out of hand!

What will you do?

You will get no respect

'Don't be rude to your brother!'

-What?

How dare you talk back?

I will slap you tight

- 'Going on and on'

- Wait! Relax!

This is between us

Hey

Your lover, Stormy...

Have you ever

gone to her building?

15 people live in those houses.

Suffocated.

If we have to live the chawl life

Why do we need buildings?

So?

Show me a place

without problems!

He has come to

construct buildings...

...not bungalows.

They come with money in

mind not people's welfare

How will they build good houses?

Hari Daada that too…

When were the rich

concerned about the poor?

Show me one unselfish

person. Let me see?

This is why....

...you shouldn't do anything

We shouldn’t do anything, is it?

And you? Rowdyism

is all you know

YES! I am a rowdy

People you support are good?

With money and power

rowdies become patrons!

No understanding of the

land and its people

You read 2 books and go around

muttering change and revolution

Understand the basics first!

Yes, sir our heads

are filled with clay

Selvam Anna

You started it all!

Poor Zareena Madam

So much blood!

Let them rot here!

All for them and...

Oh! Wow!

We will all cry because he

isn't leading the revolution!

Go on! Leave

I am going to leave

I have an education and a job

I will take care of myself

Slipper me if I ever

talk on their behalf

Imbeciles...

They are cheap-mined

that's why they live in...

Who do you call 'cheri'?

- Don't

- Maama

'Cheri' is it?

Dei...Dei

Kaala is angry

Cry

Don’t talk to him Pa

'He has gone mad'

'Cry I said'

'Cry, you idiot'

Yes!

We are cheap people

You grew up comfortably

That’s why 'cheri' people

appear low to you

According to you...whether

we like it or want it

We must live on the road you lay

Drink the water you pour

Eat the rice you give away

If we refuse, you will

say "Starving dogs..."

"...look at their arrogance"

Someone like you has

no place in my house

Get out!

Only if you suffer you

will understand life

Ey! Send him out

- Send him I said

- Maama, wait

Wait. Where will he go?

Doesn't he have to think?

He thought we will

stop him from going

If you push him to leave

Where will he go?

Poor thing

My sweet heart!

Dei

Go to some place good

Eat at the right time

Take care of your health

My dear one. Ok?

WHA...?

What is this crowd. Huh?

What's up my Nephew?

Going on a tour?

Huh?

What a swanky bag!

Long trip, is it?

Buy me a souvenir when you come

Hey, fire-setter!

I will kill you first

Why are you getting irked?

(religious chants)

Oh lord Ganpathi!

'Moriya!'

Hey, isn't the elevator working?

No way!

'Where are you going?'

'Dadar Beach'

Hey!

Are we here yet

or further up?

Come!

Where are you going, Akka?

Ganesh Temple, Stormy!

Hmmm

Come

Let's go out!

Lenin!

Let's rethink, Lenin

I feel that Kaala is...

...doing the right thing.

- Selvam

- Ma, shall we move?

- Where is Dad?

- Back there!

Ey! Come fast

You know Zareena's house

for sure, right?

I know, Kaala

Let’s go

Don’t drop me off

somewhere else!

Kaala, I know every

nook and corner here

Why are you scared

like a schoolboy?

Scared is it?!

Move

Why are you getting

tensed Kaala?

Hurry up!

Don’t stop anywhere

Kaala is going alone somewhere

(religious chants)

Brother, Kaala is going via 'Sion'

We got a call

What?

Kaala is going alone

We can finish him off now

- Sure, it’s him?

- Yes

- Confirmed?

- Yes!

He is right here

Quick! Quick

Turn left!

This is the house!

Why are you scared Kaala?

I am here with you right?

Cool

Hey! Buzz off

See, Didn’t I tell you?

Just leave!

Carry on! Have fun!

Hi...!

Hi...!

Kaeira, go to the other room

Kaeira, beautiful name

Kaeira means black in Greek right?

Yes. It means “Kaala”

Kaeira finish your homework. Go

You both talk

I will go. Ok?

Errr...

Actually, I don’t know what to say

If you were alright...

...none of this will matter

KARIKAA…

Sorry

I am totally fine

I heard that you were hurt

That’s why I came to see you

Thanks!

Thanks a lot Karikaalan

Sorry, Sorry!

I should call you KAALA

So much concern!

I am ok!

I will leave now

You are doing wonderful things

for the people who trust you

What were you doing

all these years?

Could you bring a

single builder?

That Architect was …

So...

What you say must

happen here, is it?

You know nothing beyond rowdyism

I am not the one to get

scared of all this

Don’t spill your words in anger

You don’t realise who

is behind all this

That’s the truth

That Hari…

…can’t be involved directly

Comes disguised as a

builder behind your NGO

You are just crazy

refusing to see this

Stop it!

Don’t judge me!

Crazy, is it?

Am I crazy?

I know what I am!

Ok?

I was born here too

You treat me like

I support Hari Daada

You want to settle

your enmity with him

And you use these people

as lambs to this slaughter

I won’t let it happen

I know how to

implement this scheme

I will do it, Mr. KAALA

Hello…

"Africa- return" Madam

I will always be selfish

about our rights

My people are not lambs to

be slaughtered by anybody

You can't lay a single brick

in the name of Manu Builders

Listen Kaeira’s mother!

You haven’t seen my

downright rowdyism yet!

You will!

Got it?

Please do!

Karikaalan!

Hey! Don’t roam the streets

aimlessly, alright?

I am not doing that Kaala

Do something to take

care of your mother

Ok?

All that’s fine…

Hey! Why are you going this way?

Let’s just go this way, Kaala

Why are you turning around?

We have to go this way

Kaala, wait…

What’s up with this boy?

Why are you doing this?

- What happened?

- Kaala!

They have rounded us up

Stop the bike

I said stop

Hey! Go

Kaala!

Step back, I said

What’s up guys?

Setup is it?

I, Vengaiyan’s Son,

Am standing all alone

Come on, if you have the guts

Let’s fight it out!

Pa…

I will finish you off first

Then your father

I will kill you

- Bro! Come let’s go

- Let's move

Move! Move!

Get in

Beemji, come

Couldn't you have

said a word to me!

You sent our son anyway, right

Even if you don’t utter a word

your every breath tells me...

...what runs in your head

Oh!

Is it?

What's running in my head now?

Tell me!

I know, Mr.Karikaalan

'KAALA!'

'KAALA!'

What happened?

KAALA!

They killed my son!

My son is hanging dead there

They killed him

They killed my son

BEEMJI!

Why did they kill you!

Beema!

Who does your mother have?

'BEEMA!'

Beema!

Beema!

When will I hear you sing

after this?

Tell us Kaala!

♪ What shall we do?

Where will he go?

Sir?

'Where is Vishnu?'

Right here, Sir

'Tell him, too'

I will, Sir

Sunil Brother had called

Hari Daada has told

you not to surrender

It’s an issue of his prestige

His men will come now

Go with them

Nobody can touch you!

Being with them is

safer than the prison

Ok?

All ok?

Let’s leave

Patil, see you!

Kill him, now!

Hey! Kill me!

Come on!

'They killed him, Daada'

[announcement on PA]

Move! Give way please

Anna, move and give way!

Move all of you

He looks like a good man

You are right

In his white and white…

Shut up! Is it enough

to wear white?

He didn’t even drink

water from our house

I wanted to meet the one

messing with my dreams

Just came to take a look

Take a good look then.

It was nice meeting

you and your family.

Now, let Dharavi be a

memory of your past.

Because from now

Dharavi will be mine

Just mine

Sister, take care of him

Hari Daada!

I didn’t say you could leave

You could have entered

Dharavi at will

But to leave

you need my permission

Let's move!

Take left

Ok! Right!

'Let me check'

'Don't let him go'

Hello, Sir

They have blocked the entrance

We are trying

'We are locked up here'

What are you doing?

Do something

Patil, what happened?

Sunil just called…They are…

- Don’t tell me what’s happening there

- We are trying

Daada, we are trapped

It is difficult to get out

We must shoot all of them

Only then we can leave

Do you have these many bullets?

Hello

'Has the Minister arrived?'

'Put him on the phone'

Oh! Damn!

'Hey!

Look here!'

What happened?

Lost your sense of

East and West in Dharavi?

Kaala’s house is right here

Apologise and go home soon

Go!

Give him way

Go! Take permission

Can I leave?

Kaala Saet, can I go?

This is the Black Fort

Ahaana, look here!

Show me too

Grandpa...

Your video is on Facebook

Who is Kaala, Grandpa?

Ravana!

The Demon King!

Thinks with his ten heads

So...

Ram will kill Ravana?

Grandpa, why are you laughing?

Vaalmiki has written it that way!

He must be killed right!

Sir, this is Zareena

ZAREENA!

She is working towards

getting people's consent

Sir...

Sir, I am very sorry about

what happened in Dharavi

But...

If your company refuses...

...our people will really suffer

Actually sir, there are

only very few people...

...who are misguided in Dharavi

'Because some people oppose

everyone shouldn't suffer, right?'

I have always thought

about people's welfare!

'Absolutely'

- What is his name?

- Who?

Kaala

- 'Yes'

- KAALA

Ya, Kaala

To err is human, right?

For one person's mistake...

...why punish another?

Get the consent

for the scheme

I will stand by you

I want to make this

country, clean...

...and pure

'Ya. Absolutely'

'Thank you Sir'

We were hoping the same too

And don't worry. We will get the

consent as soon as possible

You come all the way from

Africa and do all this

This is my land,

my people, my blood

Shouldn't I do something too?

What does your husband do?

No...actually...

I am a single mother

I AM A SINGLE MOTHER

I have a daughter, Kaeira

Take Care!

A woman...

You might be short of funds...

All alone in Mumbai...

Help her if she needs something

'Sure Daada!'

His name is Lenin

Kaala's Son

He is one of us

Supports us fully!

''Full support''

Lenin!

Shall we leave?

Please...

COME HERE!

Just a minute

Give me a shank!

It's me!

It's just me

Wow!

Just Wow!

Isn't this

the ultimate wedding!

Who will believe

that you are 60?

You look just like

the Actor MGR

Your youth is returning!

Me?!

Very funny!

Children insisted

I put this on

AKKA!

You don't match my

brother-in-law's good looks

Accept it!

Hey! Why?

Why are you pulling

her into this!

What's happening Maama?

What is he saying?

I am unable to hear

I was telling him that you

look like a gold statue

Like that?

Hey Vaaliyappa!

Heard that?

Of course, Gold Statue

Why get myself into trouble?

Even the Great Haridaada

is scared of your husband

But look at how he is

around you!

Long live!

Come and eat

Anna, please eat some food

Where is the meat?

- Here. Here.

- 'Feed him the meat'

Feed him lots!

Machaan here!

Drink it!

- No!

My gift for your wedding

Toddy from a single palm

An offering to

our God Kaala

Bottoms up!

He will take care of it

Won't you drink for me?

Drink up!

Hey Vaaliyappa!

You are making Kaala drink?!

Hey! Is this foreign liquor?

This is part of our cuisine!

Machaan! Drink it

Drink for your friend!

Gulp it!

Like that!

Drink! Drink!

Ok?

Come on, Kaala!

Hey! Vaaliyappa

Damn!

What are you giving him?

I didn't give him

He took it from me

You know he doesn't drink

Why give him that?

Machaan! Stay steady

I am so angry, that I...

Maama

'I can't hear anything!'

Maama, are you ok?

'Say something Maama'

Maama, why are you

looking at me like that?

- Was the food alright?

- Yes!

- Did you eat well?

- Yes! Yes!

- Visit us often. Ok?

- They will

- You leave

- I will walk you out

Its ok, Anna

We will take care

Maama! quiet

- Your daughter must study well

- Yes, Anna

You are high is it?

Drunkard!

Drunk...?!

Naughty...!

Just one bottle of toddy

And you are sooo drunk

All that dancing and singing

I have been watching

you going overboard

- Overboard?

- Yes! Careful!

"What you are talking?"

English, is it?

Pa, I want to talk to you

Go ahead, Son

You are my universe!

What do you want?

Go on

Kids! Go in and sleep

'EYYY!'

Kids are just playing

Why send them?

What do you want to talk?

It is so nice to see

you and mom together

You struggled to bring us up

That's why we live well now

We have no other complaints

But...

Hey! Why are you hesitating?

Pa...

After what you did when

Hari Daada was here...

...he is being

threatened at his office

He wanted to leave home

I convinced him to talk

after the ceremony

Leaving?

Let us all leave!

We are doing well in our lives

Why get into all these problems?

So many people have left Dharavi

after becoming Doctors and Engineers

Why live in this muck?

At least the next generation

can be peaceful, right!

Who lacks peace now?

Are you all scared?

If he were scared, he wouldn't

have brought us all up so well

You refuse to use your brain!

So...?!

Isn't he the one who

killed Vengaiyan grandpa?

Listen...! You should never fear

Selvi...

Didn't you tell them stories

of our brave Tamil women?

- What did you teach them?

- Like they will listen!

You have decided to leave, right?

Nobody here will stop you. Leave!

You can't stay a second more

If you do... I won't

hold my tongue!

Hey! Stop!

Is this how you speak

to the children?

Hey, listen...

She is just joking

Aunty! Why are you

getting angry?

Shouldn’t we say anything?

It is for all our good, right?

Ey!

How long will a gold mine be

if you keep digging into it?

It is such a small problem

Why are you pushing him around?

One tight slap!

Uncle, just shut up

Such a drunkard!

I am talking to my father

- Mind your business - EY!!!

How dare you disrespect elders!

If you leave this place your

problems will disappear, is it?

You will change your

place your language...

...your food

Leave everyone behind and live like a

king elsewhere? Do you call that life?

If you want things to

change, do it from here

He left this house too

But did he leave Dharavi?

We might have a

million differences

But I don't doubt the respect

he has for this land

I am a tree, rooted right here!

Bury me or burn me

But right here

- Actually, Pa..

- 'Ey!'

Another word and...

Get in!

Go!

Get inside

'Go'

'Let's talk in the morning'

Think they can

take me for a ride!

Must show them who this Kaala is!

- Vaaliyappa

- Machaan!

Bring that bottle here

- Huh?

- It is ready Machaan

- Right here

- Ey! Shut up

Maama! Sit now

Maama!

Listen to me

- Sit, please

- For your sake

Alright

Idiot!

Hey Patil!

Come! Come!

Sir!

Why are you late, Brother?

The celebrations just got over

It's ok. Come

'Vaaliyappa!

Take Care of them'

Come Patil!

Is half a bottle ok with you?

Uncle! Calm down

Hey! Relax

A whole army is here

It's alright! Come! Come!

'All of you must eat'

- Selvi!

- Huh?

Is there enough food?

Maama!

Keep quiet

What's happening?

What's up?

So many of you are here!

There is a warrant for

Vishnu Bhai's murder

Murderer has surrendered right?

- Why are you here?

- Don't create problems now

Come to the Police Station

Come!

Try laying a finger!

Grandpa!

'Selvam should I take you too?'

SSSHH!

Relax

Don't worry

Kids will get scared

Let's not create a commotion

- Patil

- Sir

You want me to come

to the station, right?

- Yes Sir

- Ok!

Machaan! Hold on!

What is this habit of

arresting at night?

He will come in the morning

Hey, Sivaji!

How are you?

Are your kids good?

Make them study well!

Maama!

Maama!

Sir!

Hi!

Hi!

Hey, Sivaji

We didn't study

If only I had

the chance to study...

WHOA!

We must educate the kids

Sure Sir. Absolutely

- Ok?

My father is there

I need to talk to him

Education!

"Very Very important"

We didn't study

The kids must study well

- It's all your mercy

- EDUCATION

Hey...

Kumar!

Who brought you here?

Patil...

- Sir?

Release him!

Huh?

Oh!

Couldn't handle all

the food you ate?

Took a stroll to digest is it?

One tight slap they will get!

Anna, Minister's

people approached me

They wanted to settle

this by talking

That's why I arranged to

meet without further delay

Let's talk it out Anna

Minister, is it?!

Vanakkam

Namashkar

Live long!

You have contacts at

ministerial level?

Crafty guy you are!

Can we fly the peace flag now?

'Yes Anna'

Let's do that!

Why sit here for that?

Let's sit in front of my house

and resolve this matter

Selvi will offer us hot coffee

- What do you say, Kumar?

- 'Actually Anna'

- Hey Patil!

- Sir?

Is this why you brought me here?

You should have

told me this right?

Sir, wait...

Come

Let's go

- Hey, where are you going?

I need to talk. Sit

Kumar...

...who is this again?

Anna, he is the Minister

Don't you know?

OH!

Minister?!

Namashkar!

Yes. Yes

Sit

Are you good?

- Yes. yes

Your wife and children are good?

Which is your Ministry?

Seeing good money?

Money. Bribe?

Anna, why are you doing this?

- I am asking about bribes

- Just sit, I said

Don't you know how to behave?

Hari Daada's words have

a bearing in the Govt

Ok?

Nothing happens in Dharavi

without your consent, I hear!

Is it? Kumar was

talking about it

Is it?

- 'Yes Anna'

Hari Daada is a

good, honorable man

He will forgive you

if you apologise

I will arrange for a meeting

Seek apology

Kumar!

Who is this guy?

(man giggles)

Hey, get out

- What is that sound?

- Nothing

Why are you resisting?

Such influential people...

I am doing this for our good

If you do something stupid

You will land us all in trouble

I am quiet only because

we have known each other

I will break your head

Step back you idiot

I thought you were

a respectable man

I am trying to resolve

this amicably

Only because you have

people's support here

Let me talk to Hari Daada

Let's end this

How many children do you have?

Three, is it?

Four

- FOUR?!

A house for each of them

A house in your name

A place for your factory

All this...

For you

Just don't interfere

in this scheme

(whispers)

Kumar...

I won't hurt you. Come close

(whispers)

What Anna?

- Kumar

- Yes!

Who is this idiot?

Why are you doing this?

Are you kidding me?

You won't get out alive

Migrant dog! Do you

want to rule Mumbai?

Ey!

Get involved again

I will crush you to death

What fun!

What absolute fun!

Go ahead if you have the gall!

One more word and I will...

(indistinct argument)

Welcome!

Welcome!

Hari Daada!

Namashkar!

You are here too, is it?!

Tell me this...

Who is this?

Thug?

Blabbering nonsense

Who sends him for peace talks!

I told you already

No more talks about Dharavi

Bring it up again. You won't

be sparkling in white anymore

''Meeting over''

Ok?

"Over. Meeting"

I have my eyes on you

How dare...

Selvam...

...they are beating your father

'What happened?'

'They are beating up dad'

Apologise!

Do it!

Touch Daada's feet

Buzz off, Idiot

Kaala, this is not your mistake

Who I am

Where I am from...

...you don't seem to understand

People fear me

After all your mistakes...

...I am still ready

to forgive you

(slogans)

Release Kaala, right away!

Release Kaala, right away!

Release Kaala, right away!

I have a status in this society

Only I know the things

I've done to arrive here

How many unidentified corpses!

Right here in Dharavi...

...how many riots I engineered!

I am trying to forget it all

But you keep reminding me

When you killed Vengaiyan, you didn't

expect his son to be the end of you!

Right?

(slogans)

(slogans)

(slogans)

Sir...

Too many people have gathered outside

Media is here as well

Please...

It is not advisable

to do anything now

(glass shatters)

(people revolt)

Everyone gets a chance in life

to rectify their mistakes

I have a good opportunity

to do the same

You murdered Vishnu...

Defeated me in the elections...

Shamed me and...

Daada...!

Daada don't do anything now

Please...please understand

How dare you laugh!

You have no fear

The fearless and the idiot

are divided by a thin line

You won't understand

even if I tell you

Time will tell you

Proof and Justice

will not matter then

I won't do anything to you now

All those people

shouting outside...

will put you on an altar,

garland you, worship you and...

...make you into a God

That must not happen

Hey, let him go

Laid a finger on me right

Ok Dude! OKAY!

Selva...

We have to be

a step ahead of him

- Get ready!

- Ok, Pa

What a fanatic?!

I want him to burn in hell

How dare he hurt you!

I am so angry that...

...I want to hack him to

pieces and go to jail

Hey! Shut up!

You think I would let him hurt me?

Wouldn't I have

thrashed them all?

That's what I thought too

Can he lay a finger on my Maama?

All that's fine

What is this on your face?

You punched yourself, is it?

A mark of your valour?

Stop laughing

'He will rot to death'

'Rotten person'

Why did you let go of him?

Of course I didn't

I broke his mouth open

I even brought a tooth

to make you believe

Really? Let me see

- Yes

It was right here

Where did it disappear? Where?

Are you looking for this?

- Are you looking for this?

- Let go! Stop!

Why are you hiding that now?

It is all going beyond limit

She comes there, stands

there and weeps...

..and when I see, she

wipes off her tears

I don't know where

all this is going

I will wait to watch

Hey! Stop it

Was she there?

-Huh?

Look at your eyes widening!

If I weren't there, you would

have married her right?

Tell me frankly

This heart can take it all

I love you darling!

OHHH! Wow!

Your words filled my ears and

went straight to my heart

Selvi!

Are you ok?

MAAMA!

APPA!

Don't get out, Pa

Selva...!

S..elva...!

I let my son die!

My Sister, the God that fed me!

How did I let you die!

How did I let the guardian

of this house die?

You don't get to decide if

this will happen or not

Do only what you came here for

Don't say unnecessary things

What the hell are you talking?

Hey Perumalsamy...

You are the one

talking unnecessarily

'Emperor of India

Hari Daada!'

Hail!

'What happened?'

'No chawl has water'

We have been waiting since morning

Machaan, he has begun

One tight slap!

Sir, why are you locking it?

Wait! Wait! We have orders

We have orders!

Move! Move from here!

We...

...must do something

Stop crying. Let's get crayons

Thank You

What are you doing, Grandpa?

A weapon shouldn't get rusty

It must remain sharp always

This belongs to our ancestors

Kaala is here

Let him in

Come Kaala. Come!

Come

Come in

Sit

I wanted to kill you, actually

Things went wrong

Mistake wasn't mine, but God's

Your wife and son...

I am sorry!

Please, forgive me.

Sit!

Please!

(clock chimes)

Mangal dear, get some water

'Yes grandpa'

- 'Careful

- Yes! Yes!'

Take grandpa's blessing

Should I tell you all this?

Huh?

No dear!

Namaste is enough.

Namaste!

Sweet girl!

(whispers)

Grandpa!

He seems to be

a very nice person

Don't kill him.

Go!

She says that...

...you are a very nice person

"Don't kill him!"

Why would I kill you, if

you don't get in my way

You can't kill me

Because...

I am KAALA!

God of Death!

King 'Yama'!

Let's see

Who the God of Death is!?

KAALA...

What sort of a name is this man?

It disgusts me when I say it!

This black colour...

...is ugly to look at

Irritates my eyes

White is pure!

Black is ugly!

Irritates you, is it?

What an ugly thought

The problem is in your perception

Black...

...is the colour

of the Proletariat.

Come see in my chawls

Dust scatters into a rainbow.

Hygiene, clean and pure

These are your masks

What do you actually want?

Land?

It was in someone's name yesterday

and will change hands tomorrow

When you die the six feet

will not be yours permanently

Why are you so maniacal?

Tell me something new

I know very well that

everything will be right here

I can't take anything

up there with me

Six feet land is all I get

Nothing is permanent

Lord Krishna has spoken in my ear

I am not unaware of all this

Let that land, even if

it's for two days...

...be in my name and

I will be happy

Do you have any problem?

Yes I do!

To you, land is power

To us it means life

Get it?

And power is my life.

Power is what I live for!

If I throw stones at

every dog on the road

I will never reach

my destination

I am using my power

for good things

If you think it's wrong

It's your problem

Anybody who opposes me...

...will die.

'Arjuna' stood confused in the war-front

What the Lord did that day...

...is what this

Hari is doing today

If stealing my land is

your Dharma and your God's Dharma...

...I won't spare even your God

I made a small mistake

Your wife and son

died because of me

I feel guilty about it.

That's why I let

you into my house

What right do you have

to sit in front of me?

You must know who you are

I don't like to

remind you constantly

Throw your pride aside

Come apologise to me

Just two feet, put

an end to this.

Come

The distance is the same

Touch my feet

I will decide if I want

to punish or forgive you.

Hold on!

Hold on!

I didn't come here to fight.

You mustn't think that

my loss has shattered me.

You might have power

But I have thousands of people as

my support, family and companions

You can't do anything in Dharavi.

I am here all alone to say exactly that!

Hear me out Hari...

My ancestors wish!

Kaala's Promise!

I won't spare you!

Stab me in the back, if you will

Grandpa!

Grandpa!

Thanks for not killing him.

Nice person!

Go! Get in!

What?

That's how it will be!

Did you tell everyone

to come fetch water?

One by one

Patience!

Patience!

Perumalsamy, what are you doing?

What is this nonsense?

Why are you doing this?

We don't need this? Who asked

you to issues tokens?

- Why are you here

- Don't we know what we want? Leave!

'No one will leave this place'

'Get out of here'

'Who are you to evict us?'

EY...!

Who cut the electricity?

Huh?

If you shut the electricity

we will get scared, is it?

My body is a power hub!

Hey you all... Come

stand in queue!

Take as much electricity

I can supply power to

the whole of Dharavi!

Grandpa, isn't your

name Karikaalan?

That's right...

Why grandpa?

Why don't you have a modern name?

Such an old name grandpa!

Sweetie, it is a

classic Tamil name!

Oh!!!

Grandpa, Why do they

call you KAALA?

Grandpa is dark skinned right

That's why he is called that

Hey, that also...

Remember our village

festival every year?

Grandpa has been given

that God's name

KAALA...

...according to our

people is our savior.

Grandpa, are you a gangster?

No he is a rowdieeee!

Earlier, when you questioned a

bad guy you were called a rowdy!

Now it has all changed!

When someone is unjust to

you and you hit back...

...they brand you as rowdies

My father raised questions,

and they killed him

I had a mad determination

to avenge his death

The blind rage was

taking me nowhere

Selvi ma made me realise this!

You are scared of

Selvi ma, right?

SOOO scared

She is my god, sweetheart

My guardian angel!

The people who killed

Selvam Pa and Selvi Ma...

...will kill us too. My friends

were talking about it

But I said...

"We are Kaala's grandchildren

Nobody can harm us"

Shut up! Is this how you talk?

Why are you chiding them?

They are just...

Listen to me, my darlings

You have to be

compassionate, always

Let all this end with me

That...

That's why I lost my Selvi...

...my Captain Selvam

Damn that drink!

If I wasn't drunk that day...

...I wouldn't have

lost them both

If you keep mourning the dead

who will think of the living?

Aims and ambitions!

Selvam didn't know any of that

"I will die for my father"

he would say

'That is all he wanted'

It is painful, yes!

But we should lose

nothing anymore

NOTHING!

We will stand by you

That's right. We

mustn’t lose anything

We will support you. All of us will!

Uncle, please get up

Kids haven't eaten too

Come let's have dinner

(glass shatters)

What happened grandpa?

- Nothing

Pa, someone set our

house on fire!

Get out fast!

KAALA!

Kaala, they burnt my books

How will I go to school now?

Machaan!

Machaan!

Come take a look

Come

My wife...

Machaan!

This is all I had

left in her memory

This is gone too

Gone!

'PA...!'

Pa...

15 earth-movers...

200 police-force...

...mercenaries in addition

They want to evict us all today

like stealing from a pyre

Mani Saet is issuing

eviction tokens

Zareena and Stormy are

fighting. Let's go!

There is no need!

You are the reason for this

You did this!

You burnt these houses down!

This is your responsibility

You are fooling all these people

Don't raise your voice

You are the Inspector

You haven't filed the FIR

'Why are you here?'

Listen, good thing

we didn't lose more

'I am saying this as your MLA'

Hari Daada is involving

the state machinery

'Don't do anything

unnecessarily'

MOVE Kaala!

Stop it, Patil!

Shoot!

MOVE!

Shoot, let's see

Shoot me if you can!

Shoot me!

Shoot me first!

Do you have the guts to shoot?

Will you get out alive?

Get out!

Get out of here!

(slogan) GET OUT OF HERE

GET OUT OF HERE

Hey...khaki shorts!

What audacity to

point a gun here!

You are possessed by power

Run away before we exorcise you!

I will return!

I will!

We are worried about

what will happen now

He has burnt the houses today

It will be us tomorrow

He won't

As long as we have the

strength to slog...

he would want us to obey him...

...and slave for him

He wants us as his slaves!

He is threatening us

He wants us to fear him

How long should we

live in this fear?

We should just die, instead

Why should we die?

Our lives are beyond death!

We MUST live!

So...should we sign

the bond of slavery?

We are slaves to nobody

We created this city

We created Dharavi

We have a right over this

This city doesn't

exist without us

We must make him understand this

We should stop working for him

(slogan) Yes we will!

Our body is our only weapon

The whole world must

know about this

Organize everybody!

Hey! Where are you?

Come to Dharavi. NOW!

Kaala has called for a

strike. Let's leave!

They are asking

everyone to come back

A strike is it? Kaala

has announced?

Come! Come! Let's go!

Tell me, dear - Kaala

is calling you

It's a strike, Pa

Bro! Can you get down please?

I can't take you

Why bro?

- Strike

This is a protest

to prove ourselves

Where are you?

Are you here?

Wait! Who are you?

- Press, Sir

We are seeking rights

Not alms!

One demand!

Say it loud and proud!

This land will belong to us!

Let's say it loud!

What's up, Patil?

Your head is reeling

What you want will never happen

Get out you...!

How dare you!

Police...!

'PUPPY!'

'FIRE!'

Let go off me...

Take your clothes!

(announcement on PA)

'Attention! People of Dharavi'

'Section 144 is applicable

with immediate effect'

"Refreshing Rama's memories..."

"...Matali said as follows"

"O valiant one! Why

fight this battle..."

"...when you know

ways to kill Ravana?"

Translation

Matali asked Lord Ram...

Daada!

Look at all these

offerings to God!

There is only one thing missing

Go bring his head!

"The time has come to

destroy the demon kingdom"

"The time has come to

destroy the demon kingdom"

'Agitators will be arrested!'

"Both sides had only one agenda"

Shaan! Go there

You! Come with me

Don't...Don't!

Shut the door!

Go look!

I saw 2 men near VOC tower.

There must be more

We have to be careful, Lenin

- We will be

Hari Daada's men are everywhere

Where?

- Round the corner

At the junction?

- What is happening?

- Nothing Pa. Just talking

Go look in the chawls

Look there

"The war between them

was escalating rapidly"

Hey! Who the hell are you?

Don't you follow the language?

None of you should

be here. Run away!

GO!

What are you glaring at?

One tight slap and...

Come on!

"The first time Rama...

...chopped off the head

of Ravana with his arrow"

"Just when that head

touched the ground..."

"...another head cropped up

on the shoulders of Ravana"

"The second head of

Ravana was cut off"

"Soon after that, another

rose into view again"

"The arrows cut off

Ravana's many heads!"

"But heads kept cropping up"

'Kill him now'

"A hundred of Ravana's heads were

chopped off in the war front"

'What's happening?'

'Karikaalan'

You are their target

One night!

Just this night!

We will win

Wait! We will win

So what if I die?

Aren't you all there!

Each one of you here is Kaala.

KARIKAALAN!

Wait!

Don't be scared

"As Lord Rama lifted

his weapon..."

"entire forests, humankind..."

"...and all creations

trembled in fear"

It's ok!

"Let’s chant together

Praise be to Lord Ram!"

Karikaalan!

Go on!

'KAALA!'

KARIKAALAN!

"Let’s chant together

Praise be to Lord Ram!"

"HAIL"

Kill him!

"The weapon pierced Ravana’s

body and fell to the ground"

"Praise be to Lord Ram!"

"HAIL Lord Ram"

Born to rule!

Born to rule!

"The arrow that pierced

through Ravana’s heart"

"That glorious arrow"

"Got out of his body..."

"carried Ravana’s sinful soul..."

"...and disappeared in earth’s core"

During the curfew-riots

in Dharavi.

Our reporter Praveen...

...collected footage

risking his life

They reveal that the

police led the riot...

...and damaged public property

At the end of a

departmental inquiry...

...Dharavi Inspector Pankaj

Patil has been arrested

Kaala (aka) Karikaalan who

led the Dharavi strike...

...died in a fire accident

reports the Police

'But when we asked the People

of Dharavi about the same...'

Idiot! What nonsense

are you saying?

Just this morning Kaala was

sitting near the Buddha temple

Get lost!

Karikaalan will

never die. Buzz off!

Jesus was crucified!

Didn't he rise from death?

There isn't anybody

who can kill Kaala!

This is Kaala's fort!

One tight slap!

The question of Kaala's death

doesn't rise in their minds

'But Hari Daada, who

believes in Kaala's death'

'Is arriving at Dharavi to initiate

his dream, "Pure Mumbai" project'

He is coming here for the first

'Bhumi puja' of the project

'This is the Black Fort'

'You can't take even a

fistful of sand from here'
