Kanithan (2016) - full transcript

'The Intellectual'

Good morning, sir

Good morning

Hi, dude

Good morning
my dear colleagues

I want to share a piece of news
which will make all of you happy

What is the happy news, sir?

Don't call me 'sir'
Call me, Madan

Okay, Madan

Let me come to the point

In Tamil Nadu including our channel
there are totally 48 TV channels



Last year according to the TRP rating
our channel was at the 48th place

But this year...

...because of your hard work
and my capable administration

...it is now in the 46th place

Our next target will be
to achieve the #1 place

Wait

Where are those 2 tickets?
They seem to be missing

Whom are you looking for, Madan?

I asked them to call me Madan

You are a mere office boy

You must address me
as 'sir' only, got it?

I meant that senior reporter Gautham
and out-of-focus camera man Senthil

They have gone
on official duty

But if you asked about them
I'm supposed to say I don't know



I am the CEO of this channel

I am myself jobless

Where could they have gone?

Gautham, camera 1 rolling

Camera 2 rolling

Ready?

3-2-1 rolling

'A popular pub in Chennai
has been involved in...'

'...prostitution and
drug trafficking'

'Therefore girls who are students
or working in software companies...'

'...who frequent this pub
are trapped into prostitution'

'Since this particular pub belongs to
a politician from the ruling party...'

'...the police force also
is hesitating to take action'

'Let us now watch
the corresponding video evidence'

'For Sky TV along with
camera man Senthil'

'...this is Gautham Ramalingam'

They look at us with disgust
if we say we are from SKY TV

Let this video be telecast

Sky is the limit for our
channel's Target Rating Point

The camera fell down!

Someone has seen
our camera, let's go

Let's scoot before we get caught

What are you looking at?

Is this your car key?

Thank God

Thank you so much

I was lookin-

Hey! Actually that's my car key

BMW 7 Series
On road 92 lakhs

Full maintenance free

I didn't even ask you

- 1 Tequila please
- 1 Shakila please

Don't embarrass me!

Both when touched
take you high

As far as I'm concerned
they are one and the same

Who are you?
Where are you working?

I am-

Actually I'm working
in a Multi-National Company

In Wipro
as a team leader

Take home Rs 1,20,000

I get extra daily allowance too

Daily allowance in a MNC?!

Are you also from
the same company?

No, I work-

He's a piece of junk

Reporter, slogs like a dog

Reporter?

From which channel?

I work-

Forget that
Where are you working?

I just finished my journalism course
in USA and landed here in India

I am joining as a reporter
in a small-time channel

There are illegal practices
happening in this pub

I am here to investigate

Look at that!

Which channel are you representing?

NDTV...?

CNN IBN?

TIMES NOW

You must be joking

He is from a local-

I don't get it

Actually I am in BBC
as a reporter

Wowwww!

1 champagne please

Yes, tell me

Really you work for BBC?

But you don't look it one bit

Are you saying he is working
in a two-bit channel and lying to you

Of course not
I didn't mean it that way

He looks really smart

'Hey! She has fallen
hook, line and sinker'

She won't be yours
come what may

- Why do you say that?
- She looks really classy

They will be very friendly

But won't even reveal their names

My name is Anu

9884225220

This is my personal number

Please save it
in your mobile

"My fingers five
sprout as wings to fly"

"My toes ten float around
no longer touching the ground"

"Dude, tied and bound!"

"Handcuffed now"

"Hooked somehow"

"1000 Watt bulb are you
She'll make your fuse blow"

"She'll make you, an iPad with class
into a Korean piece for the mass"

"Torn to bits will you be
She'll create a scene royally"

"Ripped apart will you be
She'll create a scene right royally"

"My fingers five
sprout as wings to fly"

"My toes ten float around
no longer touching the ground"

"The nuts in my head came apart"

"In your bovine eyes swirls my heart"

"To talk when you're nearby
the love within me explodes sky-high"

"My heart's teeth truly desire
in your eyes to chew with relish, dear"

"For lips to weave without fear
love in my veins tempt loud and clear"

"My mind asks you a favor
To make love in dizzied fervor"

"For smiles to flash alluringly
a magic spell cast on me"

"For me to be your captive forever
you are the only reason, my dear"

"For noise to recede
Kisses to supersede"

"For me to be tongue-tied, dear
you'll show me heaven and disappear"

"Plain Jane, coins grimy
Notes crummy, sim card dummy"

"She got him snug
as a bug in a rug, whammy!"

"Plotted the dots, joined the line
Sorted the route, sketched the design"

"Hook, line and sinker
she caught him fine"

"She made butterflies flit
for my heart to beat erratic"

"She planted a beautiful flower
to bloom in my brain's chamber"

"She embedded her number
into my mobile forever"

"In a new state of drunken stupor
she made me float in mid air"

"My fingers five
sprout as wings to fly"

"My toes ten float around
no longer touching the ground"

"Ripped apart and hanging
Like a poster he's dangling"

"He has fallen flat for her on the floor
This dumbbell of a creature"

"She created a scene royally
to make a deep impact really"

"With knack she eased her way
willy-nilly into his heart to stay"

"My fingers five
sprout as wings to fly"

"My toes ten float around
no longer touching the ground"

"The screws in my head came apart"

"In your bovine eyes swirls my heart"

"To talk when you're nearby
the love within me explodes sky-high"

"My heart's teeth truly desire
in your eyes to chew with relish, dear"

'News'

'Good afternoon'

'News read by K.Ramalingam'

'Headlines'

'The Prime minister of India
is going on a 5 day-visit to-'

Sir, courier

Hey! Left...left

Right...right

Watch out, that monkey
might catch you

Don't disturb my game, ma

Let me play once
after you are done

Let's see

What are you doing there?

Can't you get the courier?

You are the one
who read that news

How can you watch it
over and over again?

We already got this
in WhatsApp last week

Ignore him
You continue

Sir, Gautham Ramalingam

My son

Thank you, sir

Whom is that courier for?

You were waiting
all along for this

Your son has got his
interview letter from BBC

Show me

Sooper, right?

Hey! What are you doing?

Wait

200, 300, 400
Not enough

Go and party with your friends

Hey! Wait

What's happening here?

Your son just got
called for an interview

You are both rejoicing
as if he has been appointed

I'm sure he'll get selected
You carry on-

Stop it

He already attended
2 interviews in BBC

What happened?

Both times he was rejected

3 is his lucky number

I have a strong feeling
he'll be selected this time

Didn't I tell you
your father will agree?

Why are you rambling
like a lunatic?

What is his qualification?

B.E. Computer Science
from Anna University

That too 82%

Your degree certificate is hanging
like a wall piece of no use to anyone

All his classmates
who studied Engineering...

...are earning 50,000-60,000 per month

Look at him

All he earns is 6,500 bucks

Come here

Take a look

Who is this?

My grandfather

In Swadesamitran newspaper
he was a well known reporter

What was the use?

Worthless till the end!

This is my father
Your grandfather

He was a newsreader
in All India Radio for 13 years

He was-

He didn't prosper either

And now me, your father

I'm a newsreader in
Podhigai TV for 27 years

He's also stagnating
like the rest of them

Exactly!
Now you know?

Not understanding
how I make ends meet

My life depends only on loans
and by circulating my salary

If your son should make
a name for himself...

...ask him to join
a software company

He can earn at least
Rs 50,000 per month

I am saying this
only for his goo-

I am advising you
crying my throat hoarse

Is this bloody job
so important to you?

You'll go down the drain
obsessing with this damn BBC

Let him go
I'll talk to him later

As usual got yelled
at full throttle, huh?

Start your bike

Sonny, 1 minute

Do you know the residence of
newsreader K.Ramalingam?

'He'll be butchered today!'

Don't know

Go, dude

I've visited his house long ago

I know he lives in this street

But I don't remember
the exact house

His nose will be long
and sharp like yours

This is his house

Oh! Thank you

1 minute

'How do I tell him?'

3 months ago, he eloped with
a teenager, a 13 year old girl

Don't tell anyone
that you know him!

You'll be tied to a lamp post
and beaten up black and blue

Be careful

Go, dude

Ramalingam, even if she was
a 40 or 50 year old lady...

...it's pardonable!

Aiyo! Not me

Come in

That was yo-

Yes, my son
Let's go in and talk

Your son, is it?

I thought you are
the same old Ramalingam!

Clip number 32, 36, 37, 42
should be in the 9 o'clock slot

Hi darling, this is Anu here

I feel like seeing you now

I want to pour
my heart out to you!

If you are free now,
shall we meet alone some place?

Alone?

How come?

Whole of last night
we were chatting

Tell me, Anu

Where are you now?

Where else will I be?
In the channel-

Are you in BBC?

You'll get to meet
prominent reporters, right?

You are so lucky, you know?

I know, very lucky

First tell me the venue

I'll tell you

But you have to pick me up

Just hold the line
for a minute

What is she saying?

I must pick her up it seems

That too all by myself

You are truly lucky

You didn't tell me the place

It's a real small-time channel

Will you be able to
find your way?

Just tell me the venue

I'll be there
in 5 minutes flat

Channel's name is Sky TV

Oh! Sky TV!

Sky TV is where-

Yes, what happened?

Where are you now?

I just said it
In Sky TV office

What are you doing here?

Shucks! What are you doing there?

I work here as a reporter

Whom do you want
to meet, madam?

Office boy...office boy

That fatso?

I want to meet
the channel CEO Mr Madan

He's in a meeting
Come back later

Hello, tell him Anu is here

You can't meet him
as and when you like

Can't meet him?
Why not?

Well said, you lion cub!

If it's very urgent
meet our chief reporter

He's the only one free right now

Good lord! He is bringing her here

Escape...!

Where is the chief reporter?

Must be editing

- Is he free?
- Sitting jobless

Then follow me, madam

What are you doing?

Mind your business

Thinks he is a big shot!

She's right nearby

Senthil, what are you doing here?

Get lost! We're playing Dickylona

She has made us crawl on all fours!

Send this mail

Hey Anu!
When did you come?

Ages ago, he said I couldn't-

She just walked in, sir

Is that so?

Come in

'Escape'

Danger if we stay here

Let's escape

You got here in 5 minutes
just like you promised

You shouldn't be so punctual

Let me introduce you to the CEO

Hey! No need, Anu

Come

I've been trying to
tell you from the begin-

I want to share a piece of news
which will make all of you happy

Shhhh...silence

A new reporter is
joining our team today

Welcome to our team, Miss Anu

Another surprise awaits you

Anu is no stranger

She's my one and only daughter

Daughter?

We are dead meat!

Thank you, pa

Thank you so much

I would like to introduce
someone here to all of you

Gautham

Hey Gautham!
Come up

She's calling you

You'll really prosper in life

Come

Go...go

He's also a reporter like us

But he works for
the BBC channel

As a senior reporter

We must also learn from him
as to how a reporter should be

'She's making an ass of me!'

Let's put our hands together
for Mr Gautham

'Looks like she has been
taken for a solid ride'

Is she mad or what?

Why this pin drop silence?

What's wrong, dad?

Why are you laughing?

You...?

That's right...me!

He's been working in
this channel for the past 2 years

He's an old-timer

You think we should
learn from him?

What's all this about?

Keep quiet, pa

You tricked me
saying you work for BBC

Anu, please wait

I liked you very much

That's why I lied

'You tricked me
saying you work for BBC'

'You call yourself a reporter?'

'Shame on you!'

'I know you have none of
the qualifications BBC requires'

'You'll go down the drain
obsessing with this damn BBC'

'Joining BBC as a reporter
is not only my ambition'

'It is my dad's dream!'

'Though my dad tried many times
he couldn't get into BBC'

'He might have lost'

'But I've got to
win for both of us'

'There may not be anyone
behind a person's victory'

'But there will be zillion failures'

'Only one who fears failure
will be afraid to try'

'I am not too sure if I'll get
into BBC this time'

'But I'll keep trying till I get it!'

Please come

Take your seat

Thanks

Mr Gautham, this opening
is for investigative journalism

It's all about how deeply you investigate
and how well you present the case

Mr Gautham

We have a case
for you to analyze

It's a case of a young lady

Her name is Irene

She was found dead

...having fallen from the 8th floor
of her apartment building

The door was locked
from the inside

There were no traces of any visitors
on the security cameras

Mr Gautham, you need to investigate
if this is a suicide or murder

And as a journalist how you'll present
this information in a sensational way

Sir, one more time please

One more time?

Is it an English film to watch again
and tell you the story?

It's an interview, man

You have a problem
with the language

That's why you are struggling

A girl fell down from the 8th floor
and was found dead

Main door was locked
from the inside

Security cameras show
no evidence of any intruder

As a journalist you need to
find out if it's a murder or a suicide

How are you going to present it
as a sensational news?

These South Indian reporters are not
capable of presenting in English

They can only tell you the gossip
on who delivered a baby, who is sleep-

Irene, the victim here
was found dead...

...jumping from the 8th floor
of the City Tower apartment

This however is assumed to be
a suicide by the City Police

But we do have a few clues to prove
this isn't a suicide but planned murder!

The victim here Irene
has freshly painted toenails

It is noticed that the toenails on her
right leg have been freshly painted

While on her left leg...

...only 3 of her toenails were
painted leaving 2 unpolished!

Also it is seen that the paint bottle is
left open on the table of her living room

Nobody would ever care to paint
their toenails before killing themselves

Reports also state that there were
no traces of any visitors at the apartment

But there are 2 cups of coffee
found on the table...

...which shows us that the victim
was not alone but had company

And this person is
assumed to be a friend

It's clearly seen that the doors
were locked on the inside...

...which clearly shows that
he or she was not just a friend

But more than a friend to her

All the security camera footages
have been erased

And most of all there were
absolutely no signs of struggle

Which brings us to the conclusion
that this is not a suicide

But a very well planned murder

This is Gautham Ramalingam for BBC news!

English is only a language, sir

Not knowledge!

That was surprisingly good

Of course

He was very sharp, sincere

I'm impressed

That was a brilliant presentation

Thank you, sir

Congrats, Gautham

Stop...stop...stop

Let me shake your hand

Our channel has been elevated
in the world's eyes thanks to you

If tomorrow in BBC they ask you
about your work experience...

...please mention our channel's name

You rock, dude

Sorry

Not knowing your ambition...

...I derided you

To be fair, I should be
the one to apologize

Will you come to
this channel hereafter?

I don't know

Why do you ask?

Just like that

Anyway...congrats!

Dude, when's the treat?

He wants a treat

For sure...a huuuge one!

"This dude, he was then single
Now he is done for as double!"

"He was like tea in a Nair's shop
Now cappuccino with cream on top"

"Till yesterday a local ordinary
Now with style extra-ordinary"

"Into her eyes teeny-weeny
she dragged me daringly"

"Into her heart so gigantic
she crammed me romantic"

"Aiyo alas dear me!
Shucks wow whoopee!!"

"She made me crumble like pieces of bread
She patched my jeans that was tattered"

"Soup boy cold shouldered was I
She turned me into a super boy"

"Crumpled my mind, she did
This she-demon she giggled"

"Hey hello hooray jolly!
Oh ooops ouch golly!!"

"Aiyo alas dear me!
Shucks wow whoopee!!"

"Your English and look hoity-toity
I go to another level, sweetie"

"When you talk Tanglish endearing
Tamil sounds sweet, my darling"

"Honeyed fruit treat
in my heart you taste so sweet"

"Liberated lad, my joy-bundle
On my cheeks you doodle"

"Hey! Life is short, why wait apart?
Now beating is my heart real fast"

"This country bumpkin is now tip top
Jeepers jeez what a hop!"

"Hey hello hooray jolly!
Oh ooops ouch golly, my girlie!!"

"Lifeline on your lips gone a-missing
Get your google-glass, I love messing"

"1 kiss on the touch screen glossing
another on your lips trespassing"

"Chilli soup, when I think of you
my taste buds crave anew"

"My sweet jaggery pastry dearie
I'll nibble you piecemeal daily"

"Hey! She is hot, sweet flavor
Life is set now a treat to savor"

"Aiyo alas dear me!
Shucks wow whoopee!!"

"Country bumpkin is now tip top
Jeepers jeez what a hop!"

Why are you looking
at me like that?

No...you've got huuge eyes

Big ears

Big nose

But tiny lips

Decent body

If I look at you
piecemeal...

...you're quite boring!

But if I look at you
as a whole piece...

...you are awesome

All beautiful girls will fall in love
only with uninteresting guys

Prove it

Okay

Usually no girl will
trust her boyfriend

But when we first met...

...you didn't know who I was

You believed all my lies

Do you know why?

Yes, I did...why?

You can get
anything from a girl

But not that easy
to get her phone number

But on that day
even before I asked...

...you volunteered
your phone number

Do you know why?

Yes, I did

Why?

That's what happens
at first sight

What happens?

Love

Nab him

Gautham

Take your hands off, sir

Sir, why are you arresting him?

Why are you arresting him
for no reason?

He has forged
his degree certificate

Fraud...!

Instead of arresting him...

...do you want me to
canoodle him like you do?

Get lost!

Sir...sir, please don't go inside

I'll lose my job

Who's Karthi here?

I am Karthi...why?

Bloody fraud...rascal!

Why are you hitting me, sir?

After dealing in forgery
pretending to be innocent

Drag him out

Just shut up and come

Where are you taking me, sir?

These are our employees

We have no one here
by your description

Here he is

Sir, one minute

Everyone is looking at me weirdly

He's the one

Sir, you can't go inside

Wait here, sir

Come man

I didn't do anything wrong

He's Mr Avinash

Tell me, sir

- Are you Avinash?
- Yes, it's me

I didn't do anything wrong, sir

Give me CI sir's copy

I am staying at Mandavelli hostel

I am working in
an IT company at Tharamani

Don't hit me, sir

Where have you
hidden the money?

Tell me

Where have you
stashed the cash?

Tell me now

How dare you retort!

Bloody mongrels...cheats!

Who the hell are you?

My name is Gautham

I am in no way connected
with this forgery

Then?

Sir, I'm a reporter

Which channel?

Sky TV

Gautham, be calm

Don't lose your cool

Can't register such complaints
based on your word

Don't know who he is

But he's sending me
obscene text messages

If you are a reporter
does it make you a big shot?

Why are you hitting him?

You have no rights to hit him
without any reason

Who are you?

I'm a lawyer

Here's my ID card
I'm Gautham's friend

- You?
- His father

Why have you arrested them?

Education loan forgery

These 5 frauds have cheated
the bank and taken education loans

Claiming to study in London
Cambridge University...

...they have submitted
fake documents to the bank

Individually all 5 of them

Plus at the same time
they have cheated 5 banks

It's not 1 or 2 bucks

130 million!

They've planned it to a T

I haven't taken any loan
from any bank till now

Hey, come here

When sir is talking
why are you interrupting?

What is your proof, sir?

Hey! Bring that over here

These are the documents
they submitted in the banks

These are duplicates which look
exactly like the original

Fake college admissions form

Fake school certificate

Fake degree certificate

Fake passport, visa, pan card,
voter's ID, ration card

Driving license inclusive

They have forged all this
and cheated 5 banks

My certificate
ID proof

My signature

All this is mine

That's why we arrested you

They had given false address in the bank

So we couldn't trace
or nab any of them

But 3 days ago for
a background verification...

...we got details about him
from the BBC channel

That was our nailing clue!

For the past 1 year...

...the background verification lists
in all the police stations in Chennai

...we've been collecting

That's how these boys got caught too

Please don't come to any conclusion
with just this paper as proof

Sir, whether a person
is alive or not

Educated or not

Has the right to vote or not

All these are decided based
only on this paper you just saw

Writer, lock them up after
filing the First Information Report

Please don't file a report, sir

Let the Court decide

I'll fall at your feet if need be
Only you can save my son

Go to Court
The verdict will be given

Help me, sir

Please...please, sir

If you file a report on him...

...then he won't get the BBC job
which has been his dream, sir

He is innocent, sir
Just don't file a-

Take your hands off me

How dare you grab our sir's hand?

How dare you hit my father?!

(scuffle)

Show him the police hit

(raised voices)

Save my son

'With the evidence on hand...'

'...it is evident these 5 offenders
have been hand in glove'

'They are guilty of this scam'

'Within the next 10 days,
this embezzled fund of 130 million...'

'...should be paid in Court,
as per the order of this Special Court'

'Failing which according to punishment
of criminal conspiracy section IPC 120 B'

'...they will be sentenced
to 1 year imprisonment'

'Further for cheating, according to
IPC section 417 and section 420...'

'...they will be imprisoned for 6 years '

'Serve prison sentence
for 7 years in total'

'In addition, in order to
prevent such crimes...'

'...this Special Court negates
their school and college certificates'

Please...please, sir

Sir, please listen to me

(overlap of raised queries)

No comments

Move aside

Without verification how they...

Stop the car

Our names will be flashed in the news
in all the TV channels very soon

After that not a single soul
will believe us

Sir, let me call my mother

So...?

If you can give me
your mobile-

Shut up!

I'll beat you to a pulp

My father is undergoing
a bypass surgery

My mother is waiting for
the money at the hospital

I must inform her, sir

Where do your parents live?

In Trichy

Do they know about your arrest?

No, sir

Give me your phone

Here

- Hello...?
- Hello, ma

Karthi...?

Karthi, where are you?

When will you come?'

How is father now?

We are waiting only for you

Were you able to
arrange the money?

Did you get the loan at work?

Ma...?

I don't think I can bring
the money for the surgery

You are throwing
a sudden bombshell

What happened?'

I've been arrested for forging
documents and cheating the bank, ma

The Court has cancelled
all my certificates

My life is in shambles, ma

What are you saying?

I can't understand any of this

Madam, when will you
pay up for the surgery?

For how long can we
postpone the operation?'

Is this some charity hall
to stay free of charge?'

I'm sure my son will come today

Listen, if you don't pay
the amount by tomorrow...

...chief doctor has given
instructions to discharge

Instead of giving us a hard time,
take him to a Govt hospital'

He's anyway
on the verge of dying

He has 1 step
in the graveyard

Karthi...?

How much you struggled to educate me

But I'm of no use to you now

Don't say such things, son

It makes no difference
whether I live or die

No use me being alive, ma

Who is on the phone, dear?

Is it Karthi?

Ask him to come soon

Don't know why?

I feel like seeing him

Why are you crying?

Why are you crying, dear?

Karthi...!'

'They have cheated the bank
and taken education loans'

'For having cheated the banks...'

'...he is sentenced to prison
for a term of 7 years'

'Fake passport, visa, pan card,
voter's ID, ration card'

'Driving license inclusive'

'This Special Court negates
their school and college certificates'

'Are your parents also
involved in this scam?'

'How is it fair to deprive others
for your selfish needs?'

Hello...Karthi?

Come back here right away

'Listen to me, son'

Move...move aside

Yov! First clear the crowd'

Karthi?

'Karthi...talk to me'

Go back

'What happened to my son?'

Accident under Ambattur Wavin bridge

Accused Karthi died on the spot

What happened to Karthi?

What happened?
Why are you crying?

Karthi...!

Karthi...what happened to Karthi?

What happened to my son?

Oh my God!

(Burmese) '5 boys were arrested in
the education loan forgery case'

'One of them jumped out
of the police van suddenly'

'He committed suicide
Died on the spot'

'This matter has now
blown out of proportion'

'The police have arrested
some of the bank officers'

'They are being interrogated now'

'Our men are also caught
in that enquiry'

'What do we do now, boss?'

Put only the education loans
on hold for a while

Dad, why should we stop for this?

Do as I say

Okay

'Following the chit fund
and credit card fraud...'

'...the education loan scam
has created a great uproar'

'Regarding this scam,
5 graduates were arrested'

'They were produced in
the Special Court this morning'

'On their way back from the court
to the police station...'

'...a young graduate named
Karthi from Trichy'

'...committed suicide by
jumping from the police van'

'Following this, the 4 young graduates
arrested along with Karthi...'

'...have been released now
on conditional bail'

'In this unprecedented scam...'

'...due to aspersions cast on bank officers
and educational authorities being involved'

'...the Police department has
arrested some of the officials'

'The suspects are being interrogated'

'Regarding the cancellation
of educational loans'

'...students all over Tamil Nadu
are protesting strongly'

No need BBC

Or anything of that sort

If my son is with me...

...that is more than enough

- Balaji
- Sir...?

Document of this house

Sell it at whatever price
you can get

Whatever can be sold
from this house...

...sell everything and
convert it to cash

Let's pay the amount
due in court first

Let us not stay
in this house any longer

We will go to a place
where no one recognizes us

How can you be so stupid?

If you sell everything...

...pay the court
and leave this place

...will all your problems be solved?

Nothing will be solved!

16 years of your son's education...

...has become nothing today

Court has stamped
his certificate as fake

To this world, your son and
an illiterate bum are one and the same

Nobody will employ him

Maybe he could
become a laborer

Within a week
submit all your documents

And you know that it is
an international television company

Without proper documents
we can do nothing!

Your graduation certificate is a must

Gautham

These are the case files
I've collected so far

Here, read it

In this case...

...don't think only you 5 got caught

2 years ago...

...4 boys in Trichy got caught

In the same way
3 boys from Madurai

And 2 from Coimbatore

We still don't know how many
invisible students are still around

Every single person
caught in this case...

...studied in different schools

They belong to different towns

Absolutely no similarities
among any of you

But there is 1 common factor

That is...

...fake certificate!

All the educational loans have been
taken using these fake certificates

Find out who is behind this

Don't think like a victim

Think like a reporter!

What happened?

The photos in the original certificate

...and the fake certificate we saw in
the police station are one and the same

Not only that

All the loan documents
have the same photo

Bloody rogues!

That means your certificate and photo...

...were both leaked out
by your college

No chance of certificates
in Govt colleges going out

Without coming out in some way
how can this be forged?

Sir, Anna university-

Balaji

I've used the same photo and certificate
somewhere else other than my college

Where?

Dot Consultancy

Anna Nagar

- Where?
- This building

It is locked

Madam...florist

This office is closed
They aren't working today?

It has been closed
for many days, sir

What are you doing?

I'm inquiring, right?

You broke the lock

I'm in uniform too

If someone questions us,
shouldn't we know what to say?

She's saying it has been
closed for a long time

But the lock is new

How come?

So without anyone's knowledge
someone has been coming here

Open the door

Watch your step

What's this?

This place looks huge

Search every nook and corner

Don't miss even a single paper

Searched every square inch here

Couldn't find even a single clue

I told you right then

Your certificate must have
leaked only from your college

Don't lose your cool

Gautham

What is this?

Someone else has
a certificate in your name

It looks exactly like the original

All are fake certificates

M.B.B.S certificate is also here

Gautham, look here

So many seals

M.G.R. Medical University

Anna University

Kamaraj University

Pondicherry University

All their seals are here

But to get loan from the bank
a certificate alone isn't enough

They will need
other documents too

But only certificates are here

This doesn't make sense

Don't you understand?

They haven't got just loans
like what we think

They are selling
these fake certificates

This gang is churning out
these fake certificates

Why should the seller
leave the certificates here?

Because all these are damaged

Look at these minor
printing mistakes

How can these be mistakes?

They aren't like the other gangs

They are thorough professionals

If my guess is right...

...in the name of consultancy

...they collect a student's original
details, certificates and photos

And print the fake certificates
to match the original certificate

What do you mean by match?

I don't get it

Okay, your name is Senthil

In Tamil Nadu alone, there are
52 Govt and private universities

Under these 52 universities
are approximately 2000 colleges

In these 2000 colleges at least 1 chap
named Senthil would have studied

So with this match they steal
the original certificate details

And print as a fake document

In 1 name, there are
many fake certificates

Look at those 2 certificates

The register numbers match

Same name

And the same degree

But the photos...

...are very different

All the certificates are ditto like this

What's the advantage of matching
the original certificate and selling?

No one will get caught
in the background verification

Both the buyers and the sellers
of the certificates are safe

Wretched fellows!

God knows how many quack doctors
are wandering around our country now

We must find this gang
and arrest them immediately

All the certificates
have photos attached, right?

We can nab them with that

Won't be able to trace them
with just their photos

Because who knows where they work,
in which office or in which city

We don't know who they are,
where they live, what they do

Zilch

But wherever they are...

...we don't have to find them

They will come looking for us

Why would they?

Let me explain

In Tamil Nadu there are totally
48 TV channels including ours

In these 48 channels,
we will know some reporters directly

Reporters they know, friends,
friends of friends

There is bound to be
at least 1 such person

Let's make use of them

Senthil, mail these details
to them immediately

Most importantly,
in all the channels...

...it should be telecast on the same day,
the same way without variation

Why at the same time?

Only then they won't be
able to find out who we are

Gautham

No need...this might have
some grave repercussions!

We are doing this
only for the problem to erupt

All that is fine

What is your content
for all the channels?

'In the raid conducted by
the special police force in Chennai...'

'...it has been found
fake certificate holders are working'

'...in Govt and private sectors'

'If you are aware of any detail
regarding any of the faces here...'

'...then please inform
the police department at once'

'Name Ramakrishnan
Age 32'

'Madras University
Masters degree'

'Year 2000'

'Name Syed Akram
Age 29'

'Anna Univer-'

Hello?

I saw your face on TV

What are you blabbering?

They are showing
all your certificates

Certificate...?

'Name Sukumar
Age 33'

'Annamalai University'

'M.B.B.S certificate'

'Year 2002'

'Name Venkatesh
Age 30'

'Madras University'

'Masters certificate'

'Year 2008'

'Name Srinivasan
Age 27'

'Bharathidasan University'

'Year 1999'

'Anthony Sridhar
Age 27'

'Madurai Kamaraj University
Undergraduate certificate'

How many on the whole?

52, dad

But the Police department
didn't conduct any raid!

No one has filed any report either

This is fake news

We don't have to be scared of this

We should be scared
only if it's fake news

Is there any similarity
among these 52?

There isn't any common link at all

They belong to different departments

They haven't even
seen each other!

We are the only common factor

In Tamil Nadu we run
36 consultancies

From one of those branches
fake certificates have been pinched

Check which branch supplied this
to the TV channels?

All the certificates match
Anna Nagar branch in Chennai

So this branch is the source
for the 52 certificates

Dad, 1 minute

51, not 52

1 certificate doesn't match

Whose is that?

'Balaji'

'Age 28'

'Tamil Nadu Dr Ambedkar
Law University'

'2006'

Tell me

Did you take my certificate
to telecast it?

'You'll land me in a mess'

No, I intend using you as bait
to catch the entire network

You are my trump card

Me...?

You couldn't get
anyone else, huh?

Don't do this
I am petrified

Trust me, I'll make sure
you don't get into any mess

Be ready

Name Balaji

Age 28

In 2009 he completed his masters
in Chennai Ambedkar Law college

There is someone else behind him

If we nab him
we can find the mastermind

Take him

Hey Gautham, like you said
I am outside my office

What should I do now?

Good

Don't get flustered
hearing my next step

They will kidnap you
in a short while from now

Kidnap?

How can you say it so casually?

Only if they kidnap you
I can follow you

And track their hideout

In 1 shot we can
catch the entire gang

Till I come out
they won't kidnap you

They will only follow you

What are you blabbering?

You aren't even here
How can you be so right?

To your left at a distance
of 30 feet is a blue building

He is one of them
In a grey shirt

20 feet behind you
is a chap wearing a red cap

To your left at a distance of
30 feet are 2 men on a bike

To your right is
a chap in a violet shirt

They are all following you
without your knowledge

Where are you now?

I'm also following you

I'm right opposite you
50 feet away in a red car

Okay, no problem

He's talking to someone

Then wait

But I'm sure about this

He is also waiting here

We will wait here
till he comes

If our plan should work out
they have to kidnap you

You would have hatched
some idea for that too?

Tell me
I'll do it

To your left, there's a chap
in a blue shirt, with a sling bag

Left side
Blue shirt?

Yes, I saw him

Go up to him

Talk to him till I give you
further instructions

How do I talk to
a random stranger?

At least if it's a girl,
it will be easy

I'll manage somehow

Hello, boss

How are you?

I am good
You...?

Looks like he knows him well

I have my own doubts

Wait till I tell you what to do

'I even attended your wedding'

'You don't remember?'

How is your wife?

I'm not even married

Give him your visiting card

Can you tell me
where this lawyer's office is?

I'm new to this area

Check Google map
and tell me then

He's giving him some paper

Something fishy

I'm telling you
I don't know

If you don't know it's fine

Because that lawyer
in this card is me!

Look at that building

That's for civil case

Criminal cases are dealt
in a totally different office

Those 2 lawyers
look after that office

Very sincere guys

These days divorce cases are
more rampant than criminal cases

I have a separate
branch for that, boss

He heads that branch

He is talking pointing to
our boys repeatedly

I'm 100% sure
he is our target

Put the card in his pocket

Move

Boss, call me
if you have any case

Service 24x7

Why are you telling me all this?

You'll understand shortly

He's walking away

Take him now

Did you find out who he is?

He's a courier, bro

Whaaat?!

He's taking us for a ride

Finish him off

You were right
Your plan has worked out

They are heading
towards me to kidnap me

Soooper, huh?

Slight change in their plan

'They don't intend kidnapping you'

What do you mean?

What is their plan?

They intend to kill you!

Whaaaat?

Are you serious?

They are closing in on me

What are you thinking?
Do something

Tell me...quick

Think of something

RUN!

Hey, stop!
Don't let him get away

GO

Drag him into the car

Start...move

I was against all this
from the beginning

You didn't listen to me
Now he is in their clutches

They will kill him

Shut up!

Bring him here

I just came home for lunch

I'll eat and get back, sir

We nabbed him, dad

Another chap
came to help him

Though he interfered
we got our man

No problem

Idiot!

You didn't kidnap him

He has made you
kidnap this man

You got the wrong man

He needs evidence

He will come in search
of you definitely

Before he comes
kill this man

Destroy all evidence

Okay, dad

Tie him up

Do it, now

Pile up all the files on him

Burn him along with the files

Let him reduce to ashes

Burn him

Come

Shall we get a drink?

I am dead tired

Thank God!

Now you can work in BBC
like you always wanted

Your problems are solved now
one way or the other

My problems will start only now

Balaji, don't come out
till I tell you

Especially do not use your phone

Why are you scaring me again?

This is a network

He's just the recipient
of a forward message

The sender is elsewhere

He will come in
search of us for sure

But we have to nab him
without his knowledge

The closer we get to him...

...without us knowing
he will be closing in on us

Before he finds out
who we are...

...we have to track him

Who is it?

Who is there?

Can't you hear me?

Cops have completely
checked this place

But there's no proof of
trespass by any outsider

Even in the forensic reports, no trace
of fingerprints in any of the systems

- It's very clear
- No...no

Our men were here

We should be able to
trace their fingerprints

Beyond that if it's clean...

...he has checked the system

Something is wrong

He has done something else here

We should find that out

Search

Stop

Move

Motion capture camera

180° motion sensor

50 frames per second

If anyone moves in front
of this camera...

...automatically it clicks

He has fixed it here
to track us down

Next he will come here
to pick it up

Let's wait

You got so late
and I was so scared

Everyone is waiting
for you in the office

You found the leader?

His photos-

Listen! There is a limit
to your media curiosity

Your parents, your future, your life

But more than all this...

...the news through which
your rating will escalate

The publicity your channel will get

Only this is priority, right?

The order of the day is
miscreants will be ignored

But the man who questions
will be squashed

All of you are
beyond redemption

I'm leaving

Just a minute

For our channel's publicity or
for T.R.P. rating to escalate...

...we didn't do this

You won't understand
even if I tell you

Please come with me

Why did you bring me here-

Details we have collected
about fake certificates

Who is this?

Dr Gurumurthy

Gurumurthy, M.B.B.S.,
F.R.C.S., M.D., Ph.D

He didn't study and
get all these degrees

They are fake certificates
with a price tag

8 years ago he started
a small clinic in Chennai

Today the same clinic has changed
into a multispecialty hospital!

Do you know
his annual turnover?

700 million

He has operated
more than 127 patients

Out of that 83 have died

8 among the casualties were children

13 pregnant ladies

Not only doctors

College professors
Railway engineers

Police officers

Health inspectors, bank officers,
aeronautical engineers

Pilots, military officers

Software engineers,
lawyers, civil engineers

In every department there are employees
involved in this fake certificate scam

Last year in India alone
because of fake civil engineers...

...147 buildings collapsed and
13,847 died, trapped under the debris

Every year 700000 students
graduate from a university

Out of that only 40%
of the students get jobs

The remaining 60%
are stranded on the road

I agree with what
you just now said

But...

...to find all of them
and arrest them

...isn't a cake walk!

We can't do anything unless
we have evidence against them

There's only one way
to finish all of them

Uproot and throw them
from the grass root level

The supplier of fake certificates

We must hunt him down

How...?

We missed him, right?

We didn't get
any clue about him

He has left us a clue
without even realizing

What clue?

Fake certificate

I'll create a fake certificate
in my own name

Each certificate will
have a register number

This number is unique

The same register number is
present in my original certificate

Whoever makes a fool-proof copy

...which no one is able to discern
the fake from the original certificate

He is the fraudster
we are looking for!

I'll find him

I will hunt down
the entire network

How are you?
No problems, right?

Why are you scaring me?

All I wanted was a broker
linked with this

Why did you call me
to the High court?

All criminals ultimately
have to come here

Lawyers here see all types of cases

And they are aware of
all the criminals too

We are meeting
one of them now

My dear boy

There are many brokers printing
fake certificates in the city

7 or 8 brokers
among them top the list

The one you're looking for
might be among the top 7

Or he could be someone
who is in touch with those 7

Name is DPI Murugan

Tell him I sent you
He will gladly oblige

All the best

The police team has
come in sharp at 3:24

The police officers have entered first

He has escaped
in a police jeep

Earlier too, the news was flashed
in all channels without filing a report

I feel he belongs to
the police department

If he is a cop, he will either
work to get a promotion

Or he will bend backwards for money

If it's for a post,
he would've appeared on TV

If lured by money,
he would have come to us

But this chap is unique

He is working for the society

If he isn't a cop, how can all channels
carry the same news on the same day?

An ordinary person cannot-

'If you are aware of any news
regarding any of the faces here...'

'...then please inform
the police department at once'

(News in various channels)

News is the common factor

Until now he has communicated
with us only through news

Either he must have some
influence in the media

Or he should be
working in the media

Maybe he's a reporter

But all the reporters have got
this news only through 1 person

Track down the reporters
who came that day

I will find out who
that 1-man army is!

I want to meet Murugan sir

- I am here, madam
- You have a visitor

I'm coming

What do you want?

I need a fake certificate

Get out!

Get out now

Sir, aren't you DPI Murugan?

You got my name right

But you came
to the wrong place

Wretched fellows have installed
CCTV cameras all over the office

Please don't get me wrong

So do you want
10th grade or 12th certificate?

I don't need a school certificate

I only need Engineering certificate

Will you pay me promptly?

We'll give you a fat lump

Give us the certificate first

Go to this Computer center
in Mylapore and refer my name

Here

'Metro Rail System in Chennai
is a huge hindrance to traffic'

'Total distance of 45 kms'

On November 17th

News about fake certificates
was telecast in your channel

Who was your source?

Tell me

Kalaignar TV Fathima

That's only I know

Kalaignar TV reporter Fathima
was the one who told Sun TV

You need a degree certificate
from which University?

Anna University

But that is a Govt College

It will cost you

Both of us will be
behind bars if verified

I'm willing to pay

Go to this place
and meet this person

He'll do the needful

Leave now

Tell me, Ee Ve Raa

Remember you asked me to
announce the 'fake certificates' scam

I was threatened at gun point

I had to tell him your name
Please be on your guard

Fathima...hello?

Thanthi TV reporter Vignesh

In what name do you
need the certificate?

R.Gautham

According to Govt specifications,
the degree certificate should be...

29.7 cms in length
and 21.5 cms in breadth

It should be printed
on TYVEK quality only

This is not TYVEK

NDTV Sowmya

Anna University, is it?

Mechanical, huh?

No, computer science, Engineering

Certificate should be
0.156mm thick

Every single word
in the certificate...

...should be printed in
special German ink

And this is not German ink

I am home safe and sound

Nothing to worry

From Jaya TV reporter Kapil

NDTV reporter Sowmya
got the information

Sir, lawyer Solomon
has sent them

Okay, you can go

Come with me

This is the certificate
from Anna University

And the mark sheets

Certain secret symbols in the certificate
can be read only under UV rays

In 2009 certificate, these words
won't be in this particular place

Tell me, Kapil

Hello Nisha

Some strangers are enquiring about
the November 17th 'fake certificates' news

I am sure they will come
in search of you too

This place is only for job orders

We have another venue
for certificates

Parsn Complex
Shop # 137

Name Baskar

This is shop # 137

Anu, wait here

Okay

Can I help you?

Baskar...?

You are...?

Employment officer
Annadurai sent me

- Abdul?
- Yes, bhai

Burma mansion matter

Take him to bhai
and finish the work

Hello Senthil, on Nov 17th
didn't you give me a fake news?

Some chap threatened me
and asked about my source

I was so terrified
I told him your name, Senthil

Senthil, what are you searching?

What are you looking for?

How did you get
so many certificates?

Show

Show me

And they all have
Gautham's photo too

Are you hiding
something from me?

Tell me the truth

You stay here

You alone come with me

- Wait in the car
- Come soon

Why are there so many
security cameras?

Completely Thura Sarkar's Mansion

Not a single soul can
enter without any link

- Sir
- 1 minute

Open the door

- Boss is there?
- 3rd floor

I think he is dangerous

What can we do now?

Simple

Before he comes here, we must
destroy all this evidence

Even if we get caught,
Gautham shouldn't

Only then this network
can be traced

- Security
- Sir

Don't let anybody in
till I instruct you

Close the main shutter immediately

Quick!

Come on...come on

It's still hot

I'm scared

Bro, Employment officer
Annadurai has sent him

He needs an Engineering certificate

Anna University

I'll handle it
You can go

See you, bhai

If it is any other college
my charges are Rs 400,000

Anna University means...

Rs 500,000

Is that okay?

Okay

Salim I'll go down
and get the certificates

Keep an eye on him

I'll kill you
if you sleep again

Always sleeping
like a pregnant woman

They must have escaped
knowing we are coming

Let's get out

They have left

I think we are safe

I can't give you a certificate
from Anna University

I can only give the University
where the name Gautham matches

I'll do my best

'Public Works Department
Electricity board'

'Revenue
Transport'

'List of all those involved in this scam
working in the Govt departments'

All printed in different places

Whose photo is this?

I don't know

Now tell me

Who is it?

This boy is really lucky

There is a boy with the same name
from the University he asked for

Super!

What is it?

The name matches
That's okay

But the date of birth
and surname match too

That may be some fluke

Doesn't seem like coincidence

Do you have his photo?

Here

Let me check
his original certificate

He is the same guy

What do we do now?

I must inform
my dad right now

Excuse me

Hello

Dad, a guy is here
asking for a fake certificate

And he already has
an original certificate

- What is his name?
- Gautham

Gautham

See if his name is on
the educational loan list

Send his photo immediately

Okay, pa

See if his name is on
the channel staff list

Matched, dad

His name has matched

- Where is he now?
- In our Mansion

Don't wait for me to come

Kill him

Okay, dad

Hey! Come here

He has stolen the hard disk

All the details are with him now

Bro, we searched everywhere

He has escaped

Anu...Anu

Excuse me

My friend came here
to collect a certificate

What's your friend's name?

Gautham

Where is he now?

He is calling

Anu, where are you?

She is in safe hands

But I don't need her

I need only you

Return the hard disk righ-

What happened, bro?

He cut the call

Spineless bugger!

He left his girl
and escaped

Forget him

We'll finish her off

No, please...!

Let me go

Are you both lovebirds?

I thought he'll save you like a hero

But he ran away
like a goddamn coward

Where is he now?

Tell me

If you don't
I'll blow your brain to bits

He is coming back here

Switch off all the lights

He should leave this place
only as a corpse

Sekar

Hey! Stop it

Stop it

Please...no

Come

The list of people they have sold
fake certificates to throughout India

List of people working in Govt
and private sectors in this scam

This hard disk has
all these details

These are the main brokers
and sub brokers in the city

The key pin is Thura Sarkar

He is from Burma

If we arrest him and
the brokers linked with him...

...we can catch all those
involved in this scam

This is a big network

Many Govt officers will be caught

How did we miss this?

How is such a huge network functioning
without our department's knowledge?

Because even our department has
fake certificate holders as employees

Half this list points to people in power

If this news leaks out
we will be crucified

I'll talk immediately
to the Commissioner

Tomorrow morning this will be
'Breaking news' in all the channels

Let's flush them out

'Viluppuram'

'Tanjore'

'Pudukkottai'

'Dindigul'

'Virudhunagar'

'Salem'

Hello!

Our list is with the police now

Tomorrow it will reach
the hands of the media

Only as long as it is with
the police, we can control it

Even if one name in the list
flashes in the news channel...

...we will all be behind bars

If we get caught
you'll be done for

He knows who we are

We should be safe
till we track this network

I've sent my mother and sister
to my uncle's house

I'll stay at my High court office, okay?

Dude, you won't mind
if I ask you something

Don't worry

The police will definitely get him

Not that

Not sure if I can get it
inside the High court

Shall we drink?

And today is your birthday

Withdrawal symptoms

Why will I even ask?

Cheers...!

Who is calling me now?

Anu is calling you, right?

How did you guess
without even seeing it?

All girls torture their boyfriends
only when they are drinking!

Wonder how they get to sniff it!

- Hello...?
- Gautham

Tell me, Anu

If you're free...

...shall we meet now?

She wants to know
if I can meet her?

Tell her you have
work pending

Anu, I have some important
work pending at the channel

I'm sure I'll be delayed

Shall we meet tomorrow?

My parents have gone to Tirupati

No one at home

I'm home alone
and scared stiff!

I thought I can ask you
to stay overnight here

It's okay
Carry on Gautham

Anu...Anu
Wait...wait

- What time should I come?
- Right away

- Why are you leaving now?
- Just for fun

For fun it seems

Anu, I'll be there
in 5 minutes

Bye

What did he say?

He agreed to come

He shouldn't know about
his surprise birthday party...

...until the last minute, okay?

Hey...!

We opened a bottle and
you're rushing to see a girl

I have an important
official work to attend to

I will definitely be delayed tonight

Let us meet tomorrow, okay?

Bye

On the 1st floor
is my dad's bedroom

All of you go hide there
before he arrives

Rest will be as planned, okay?

Coming, I swear!

Hi...come in

Anu, looks like
no one is at home?

I told you over the phone

Why are you asking
as if you doubt me?

When you are so open...

...why should I doubt you?

Hey...not here

Why?

Come up to the bedroom

Let's go there

Come

Come in

Don't feel shy

Do you know why
I asked you to come home?

Why?

I have a startling surprise
in store for you!

I should have
given it much earlier

It has been delayed now

But...

...it will be altogether
in a totally different level

What is he doing?

Hey! We shouldn't be
watching all this

But how long do we watch
all this only in a mobile?

Then we can watch
a free show right here

Don't you worry

When the lights go off...

...you'll understand everything

But until then
you have to wait...

- What happened to your clothes?
- I took them off long ago

Surprise me...!

- I'm waiting, baby
- No...no...no

What happened?

No...no...!

You are totally
in the wrong track

I didn't call you for
whatever you are thinking

You are dead meat!

Why are you pushin-

Why do I see
so many legs?

How can I handle so many
at the same time?

Won't that seem wrong?

Sorry girls

"He'll flirt with a modern girl happily
He'll finally marry a homely girl only"

"His 6 pack is above his belt to show off"

"Below his belt is his brain, not on top"

"These boys are like a monkey troop"

"Head is 1 track mind of sex in a loop"

"We boys connect
in a way that's direct"

"When girls say something
it always has a different meaning"

"If you say 'yes'
it's a 'no' always"

"You say 'we'll see'
it means 'no need' really"

"You want to talk, if you say
problem is on its way"

"If 'sorry' you say
it's our doomsday"

"If you're demonstrative
it's friendship, no other motive"

"If we touch you, we'll be
branded 'Casanova' unfairly"

"You'll fight hammer and tongs
You'll abuse us 1 mile long"

"Blame us for your follies
Get lost, finicky fillies"

"We have booze as our back up
even if you don't pep us"

"Look for a 'no boys' world
Girls with brains curdled"

Hello...?

What happened, son?

Gautham, look at them

Balajiiii!

One day I'll be as famous as
Ram Jethmalani

Cheers!

'Don't do this
I am petrified'

'Trust me, I'll make sure
you don't get into any mess'

Did I bring you up
to see you in this condition?

'Because even our department has
fake certificate holders as employees'

'The order of the day is
miscreants will be ignored'

'But the man who questions
will be squashed'

'Don't think like a victim'

'Think like a reporter!'

How are your friends now?

Have you seen a police officer
beg for mercy just to live?

Have you seen him
scream his throat hoarse?

I witnessed it

You killed 2 of my boys

Those who are with you will die
one by one in the same way

The evidence you collected
with great difficulty...

...has come back to my hands

You can't do anything with
what you have as evidence

A police officer, a lawyer
and a local channel

This is your network

But mine is like an octopus

At least 1 of my men will be in every
Govt and private office all over the place

To save his skin
he has to save me!

Catch me if you can

Don't worry

Go to some police station
nearby and surrender

Automatically you will come to me

Hi guys!

As a reporter we have conveyed
different news to the people

But all that was for
our personal success

Or for our channel's
TRP rating to escalate

The news we will telecast now...

...will benefit every student
who passes out of college

Has a student completed
his college or not?

Is he capable or not?

A mere paper does not
determine this

It is our individual identity

But without our knowledge
a random rogue has stolen it

And is selling it to
some other scoundrel

His place is occupied by
one who is not even qualified

Because of this, an Engineering student
is earning a meager 5000 bucks

Behind each student
is a father's pain

A mother's dream
lies embedded

But making a fool of parents...

...they flourish as quack doctors
and fake engineers with ease

But even qualified officials
take bribes and are corrupt

Any which way you see
corruption is here to stay

Nobody is perfect

Because of this mindset...

...we took bribery
as a way of life

They are worse than
those who demand bribes

Those heartless people will
take bribes and only then work

But the quacks will take bribes and
not do their jobs perfectly either!

Because he doesn't know his job

There is only 1 way
to weed out such people

This scam should be exposed
to the people directly

Whoever is part of the scam
should be tracked down

Only we can do this

Tirupathi, you are
the right man for this job

For the time being
your name is Venkatesh

We will make everyone believe
a non-existent man exists

As a 4th grade school drop out...

...you'll go into his den,
asking for a fake medical certificate

What you should do in there...

...through this spy camera

...I'll guide you from
my van step by step

'In Govt and private sectors
all those who are not eligible...'

'...the entire list and
what position they hold now'

'...will be transferred
to my laptop in the van'

'Come what may...'

'...this news should be telecast'

Hello, bhai

This is the MBBS party
I told you over the phone

- What is your name?
- Venkatesh

Got any ID card on you?

Rs 800000 for MBBS

I have the cash with me, bro

Check his bag

He has brought the money

Baskar, you leave now

See you, bhai

Thanks, bro

Give me your photo and details

This is not the route
to Burma Mansion

He has changed his hideout

Sit here

I'll call you if I need
any clarifications

Tirupathi, fix your watch
in the corner of the room

'Switch the camera on'

Rolling, sir

Good!

Go in now

Locate the main server room

Hide...someone is coming

Got it

Now just do as I say

Here is whatever you asked

Certificates of
grades 10, 11, 12

Everything is intact

Check them if you like

We got all the evidence
we were looking for

Leave the place now

Thanks, sir
I owe you big time

Okay, contact me
if you need anything else

Bye, bro

Who are you?

He is known to me
I checked thoroughly

What is your name?

Don't be scared

Your fear will make him doubt you

My name is Venkatesh

Where are you working?

In Balaji Hospital
as a compounder

How long have you been there?

8 years

Tell me your hospital number

Hello, Balaji nursing home
How may I help you?

Balaji nursing home, sir

Can I talk to compounder Venkatesh?

He didn't come in today, sir

Can I take a message?

Can you give me
his mobile number?

1 minute, sir

'Get lost! God Himself is on our side!'

When did you plan all this?

Search him thoroughly

Check outside
if the coast is clear

If we get caught
Tirupathi is dead meat

Senthil, come back

Is anyone inside that car?

No

In that car?

- No one here
- Let's go back

Clear

Checked outside

No one is around

Give it to him

Can I leave, sir?

He's such a wuss

And you hit me for no reason

He was so bloody scared
he left his glasses behind

Call that boy

Why are you scrutinizing it?
Won't be more than 200 bucks

This isn't spectacles with power

Spy cam!

He has spotted our spy camera

Tirupathi, come out fast

Catch that fellow

Come on, come on

Come fast

Senthil, be ready

Hey you!
Stop there

Run...fast

Nab him

"Che Guevara the reformer
The gloried guerrilla leader"

"You and I are fighting
for a cause befitting"

"Weapons are not necessary"

"Internet is in our hands primary"

'Anyone can become
a doctor, engineer etc'

'...with no proper qualification'

'Just a duplicate certificate will do'

'We have solid proof about
a gang operating this scam'

'This gang has made the lives of
many students a big question mark'

'Many have been driven to suicide'

'These traitors who have nurtured
unqualified officers in every sector...'

'...thereby hindering
our country's development'

'...involved in this illegal-'

Lost the signal

Guys, what happened?

No signal

Drive straight to our channel

Thank God, they've come

Gautham, come soon

Come on

Run...run

"The internet rose to the occasion
to save India from deterioration"

"Army, navy and air force guard our country
Fourth now is the internet-infantry"

"Not the coward by the minute dying
You're the brave warrior for aeons living"

"We can die fighting at the war front
We shall be born again, my dear friend"

"This is war of the mind
Of the intellectual kind"

Move...move

"Che Guevara the Marxist
The Argentine anarchist"

"You and I are fighting
for a cause benefitting"

"To fall and rise again
World history repeats this chain"

"Time for the resurrection of the fallen
It is a promise that will soon happen"

"So many toil and sweat night and day
How can dogs drink their blood away?"

"Our lives didn't matter to us one bit
We got into this to nab the culprit"

"Work of a mastermind
A war which is one of its kind"

"You me, me you
Victory is ours, dude"

"Sword is me, shoulder is you
No doubt we'll win, dude"

"No army can defeat us
We are perfectly peerless"

"We'll win in such a way for sure
the world will quake and quiver"

"Sword is me, shoulder is you
No doubt we'll win, dude"

"No army can defeat us
We are perfectly peerless"

"We'll win in such a way for sure
the world will quake and quiver"

"No army can defeat us
We are perfectly peerless"

"We'll win in such a way for sure
the world will quake and quiver"

'The whole country
has been shaken up...'

'...this mega
fake certificate scam'

'Many agents are being
arrested regarding this issue'

'Unqualified personnel holding high posts
in the Govt and private sectors...'

'Private as well as
Govt doctors, Engineers'

'Officers working abroad
Bank employees'

'School teachers and
college professors'

'Police officials'

'Based on a list
from all departments...'

'...holders of fake certificates are
being arrested all over the country'

'Even more shocking is the fact...'

'...death certificates have been
utilized to churn out fake certificates'

'Similarly fake sports quota certificates'

'...experience certificates, fake
documents and caste certificates'

'...forged checks and
many such forged Govt documents'

'...have been sold by this gang'

'Credit for apprehending the culprits
and bringing to light this major scam...'

'...goes to Gautham Ramalingam
a reporter in a private TV channel'

'...who has been honored by
the Police Director Mr Ashok Kumar'

You made it

'When the chief 'accused'
Thura Sarkar in this scam...'

'...was trying to destroy evidence'

'...he suffered a major head injury'

'Under tight security, he is being
treated in the Govt Hospital'

Because his cervical spine has
been damaged, he's now paralyzed

We call this condition quadriplegia

Please inform us at once if there is
any improvement in his condition

Yeah, sure

Criminals like him should be
produced in court and duly punished

Lives of so many students
have been ruined by him

It's a very special case

Give him Dexton injection

And keep monitoring him

Okay, doctor

Did I inject the wrong medicine?

I don't know

What happened?

What the hell did you do?

Pulse rate has decreased

Pupils are dilated

Sorry, doctor

What do you mean by 'sorry'?

5th case in this year

Prestige of our hospital
has gone down the drain

What did you administer?

Because of doctors like you...

...the whole medical fraternity
has a bad reputation

Did you study medicine? Or did you
land up here with a fake certificate?!

'2 people died because of
fake doctors treatment'

'Found out their fake certificates too'
