Varisu (2023) - full transcript

The Minister is on the line, sir.

'Mr Jayaprakash'

'You know how important this deal is'

I'm sure you are aware, I've ensured
you-know-who doesn't get this deal

This is not a mere deal
It is my 30 year-obsession

I'll definitely wrap it up, sir

Thank you

Hi...hi everyone How are you, guys?

Hello, Mr Gautham.

You seem to have a wonderful team

We sign this deal in the next 2 days



Okay, sir

As soon as we sign this News

- It should be headlines everywhere
- Yes, sir

It should be loud & clear to
the ears this has to reach

- Okay, sir
- But till then

Don't breathe a word about this to anyone

- Sure, sir
- Yeah

What now?

I solved all your problems only last month

What is this strike in aid of?

Are you looking for an excuse?

How many demands will you keep piling?

This isn't my demand

- Workers' demand
- Hey!



Aren't you the union leader?

You should make them understand

[mobile ringing]

Hello?

The mines'
deal meant for you is now in JP's hands

- Whaaat?
- Yes!

He's signing it in 2 days

- Yov! Attend to this
- Yes, sir

'I don't want to hear
'Govt and rules' as excuses'

'In this particular area'

'Dig real deep'

I don't want to listen
to any silly excuses

Okay, sir

[mobile ringing]

Yes, tell me

You can forget the $3 billion mines deal

JP has clinched it

- Whaaat?
- The deal has gone

Sir

A piece of bad news, sir

'One of the largest trade
transactions in Tamil Nadu'

'A mine deal worth $3 billion'

'...has been secured by
Rajendran Group of Companies'

'This contract in trade circles is
said to be the largest in India'

'Many industrial mining organizations
competed to clinch this deal'

'Rajendran Group of
Companies is one among them'

'In one night,
in the midst of this cutthroat bidding'

'Rajendran Group of Companies
made a smart move and clinch-'

Hello, who is this?

'Your friend!'

You play a good game, JP

You have the ball at
your feet in full control

But you don't strike a goal

Goal is what counts in a game

You are trying hard to
defeat me at least once

But you aren't able to, right?

If you have to win over me hands down

First you have to defeat my 2 sons

You can come anywhere near
me only after you cross them

Even if you try all your life

You won't be able to succeed

'JP'

Don't ever try to touch my identity again

In business, always be alert

Even if sand falls into
a good hunter's eyes

He has to keep his eyes open

Otherwise

The hunter will be the hunted!

Hello, sir Nice to see you

- 'Vanakkam'
- Sir, please

Welcome, Mr Gautham

- Hi, sir
- Welcome...welcome

Glad to meet you

My elder son, Jai

- Hello, sir
- Hi Jai

- Arthi, Jai's wife
- 'Vanakkam'

Ria, Jai's daughter

Ria?

Sudha?

Sudha, my wife

Those two kiddos are Ajay's children

- Grandma's pets
- Hi

This is my family

And I am his one and only friend

Because other than me no one
else can put up with him!

He's my best-

Dr Anand Padmanabhan

Look, I'm famous too!

- Hello, sir
- 'Grandpa'

You forgot Kichu uncle once again

Uncle Kicha

They remember me when they order tea
and then forget me after I bring it

I lost 5 kg serving them night and day

Great, sir

To see you live together happily as
a joint family is a rare sight indeed

But what's most interesting

Only your 2 sons

You introduced to me as your family

Your youngest son

You didn't mention a single word about him

Vijay

Topics I am not comfortable with

I don't talk

I'm even more curious now

I'm not asking you this as
a friend or a well-wisher

I'm asking as an investor

'What is your family equations?'

What are the likely future
legal complications?

I need to know

True

A boy by that name lived here once

He didn't approve of my ways

I didn't like the path he chose

Now the link between that name and
this house is completely broken

Don't you even know where he is now?

I don't know if he's dead or alive

"World over, he is the inhaled breath
by people through the length & breadth"

"He is the spring; fountain paving the way
springing through boulders night & day"

"Like the earth on its own axis spinning
he holds his own in space always winning"

"7 layers in the atmosphere is he
with his name and fame echoing loudly"

"He is the fire and
the flame in full view"

"If you look intently, you are him too"

"Araariraaro; a lullaby we sing
Who you are, inspect within"

"The whole world is at your feet
Why erect fences to succeed?"

"Can't birds be heard chirping joyously?
Won't floral scent excite you generously?"

"Were you fashioned out to
be a relative of a robot?"

"Heart,
heartbeat and soul Together as a whole"

"Make new friends, extend boundary
Let us laugh, love and be merry"

"Mind,
brain and psyche Bond together to strike"

"What you feared & crossed in the past
let's strive to rectify failures at last"

"Grabbing someone else's dream
Daily a mechanical life mainstream"

"Let go of this xerox scheme
as your real life's theme"

"Our model, mentor, our leader, welcome
You are always your own boss awesome"

"Our leader, our hero we look up to Let
us live life to the fullest and true"

"Our polestar, our radar, our identity
Who else can fill your shoes in reality?"

"Warm welcome to our hero for eternity
Like waves you will never cease to be"

"The dot you are; epicenter of inception
With you as center, world is an extension"

"Wonders of this world old and new
weave magic from within you too"

"You sculpt your own destiny
in your life's long journey"

"If you explore within; this instant
you will be your own intoxicant"

"Don't riches diminish in their value
when 24x7 the vast sky follows you?"

"Heart,
heartbeat and soul Together as a whole"

"How will the waterfall interact
if the koel warms its nest intact?"

"Our model, mentor, our leader, welcome
You are always your own boss awesome"

"Our leader, our hero we look up to Let
us live life to the fullest and true"

"Our polestar, our radar, our identity
Who else can fill your shoes in reality?"

"Warm welcome to our hero for eternity
Like waves you will never cease to be"

[mobile ringing]

What, ma?

Calling me so bravely!

Villain isn't at home, huh?

- [Hindi] Thank you
- Why?

Why should I be scared
to talk to my own son?

Where are you now?

Far, far away from your husband's house

You are good with all these dialogs!

But don't tell me your whereabouts!

Maa...?

All places far and near

Are dear to me and as good as mine

Forget my punch lines!

'Are you regular with
your medical check-up?'

Akka-

I'll call you back, sister

Oh! I think 'enter the villain'!

'Hello everyone Welcome to Start up India'

'Presenting start up ideas
throughout India in this summit'

We will now learn about

One of our country's best Start up ideas

Food is delivered at our doorstep
with just 1 click in all cities today

But when we travel with our friends
and family outside city limits

We eat what is available in those areas

We have an app to order
what satisfies our tastebuds

'The speciality of this particular app'

Food we prebook

'Not only when we are going by road
even when we are travelling by train

In the next station

We can enjoy piping hot food
in our coach in our seat

And the man behind this brilliant app is

Mr Vijay Rajendran

Thank you

Hello, Mr Vijay Rajendran

You can call me Vijay

Okay, Mr Vijay

How did you think of this amazing idea?

Time, travel, hunger

Man cannot escape from these 3 essentials

I designed this app keeping
these 3 basics in mind

Hello, Mr Vijay

- Hi
- This is Monisha

From Investors magazine

Idea is really good

What is your investment plan?

Don't know,
that's why it is called 'start up'

I am clear this investment is not meant
for an individual to make huge profits

But to benefit one who thinks others
should eat even if he is hungry

Thank you

This is Eashwar From Chennai Minutes

Hi

Why are you struggling this much
to get an investor for your app?

Your father is a renowned
businessman in India

Why isn't he interested
in investing in this app?

Even if he is interested I
am not interested in that

That's his identity This is my identity

That is his business

This is my business

Oh! So it is true then your
father and you are at loggerheads?

That is none of your f-

Business

'I'm done'

Sorry, guys

Thank you for coming

I am sure all of you must be aware

The reason I called you tonight

My youngest son Vijay

He is back from Harvard with
laurels in Business management

Vijay

Come here

I had a dream to study in Harvard too

But unfortunately

My dad wasn't a millionaire like me

But Vijay is lucky that way

I want to spring a surprise on all of you

For my son too

From tomorrow like my other 2 sons

Vijay will be joining our family business

But one thing

Just because he studied in Harvard he
cannot become the heir to my company

If I have to entrust this
company to one of my sons

I need to know first if
they are eligible to run it

Out of my 3 sons whoever wins that race

He will be my next heir

What, Raj?

Making your family into a business module?

Yes

It is the survival of the fittest

Isn't it?

Vijay

Speak up

Go on

'Vanakkam' Greetings

Good evening

I don't know how I can carry the
load of such a huge surprise!

He loves surprises

I should give him a return gift, right?

Surprise

To step into my dad's business

I have no such intention

Guess how lucky I am

I am 'blessed' with a dad who treats
his family as a business model

I wish to tell him something

I don't have the need to prove
my business acumen to anyone

As long as I know, that's enough

I would also like to add this

I went to Harvard on my
own merit scholarship

Poor man!

I think his memory failed him

I wish to remind him about it

'That's all I wanted to say'

Bye

VIJAY!

WHAT WAS THAT?

Then what?

Without asking me my preferences

How much longer will you decide my
life on your likes and dislikes?

Am I right?

What's up with you?

You know whom you are talking to?

I know only too well
Owner of these 2 puppets!

Hey!

What will you do leaving
this business at hand?

He has a Start up idea it seems

Start up, huh?

You'll forsake your fort and start
a thatched roof from scratch?

You need my money for it, right?

How is it till the very end,
you refuse to understand what I'm saying?

You are the only person in the
world you created for yourself

But I want to live with the
whole world in my universe!

To me,
your fort seems like a thatched roof!

Your currency has no value in my world

Besides that

Your business ideas can never
sync with my life's ideologies

What are you doing here?

OUT!

GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!

[jubilant laughter]

Thank you...thank you

For granting me freedom from this house

Vijay

Where are you going?

This is our home

- Am I not here for you?
- Amma

This is his house, ma

Your place is only the kitchen

You have to cook what he wants even there!

Stay, don't go

You want me to be happy, right?

What is the matter?

Nothing much

Tell me anyway

I thought-

It is your 65th birthday
in another 45 days

So?

I was wondering

You didn't let us celebrate
your 60th birthday traditionally

If we perform this function now it
will be good for our family it seems

Our astrologer from Chidambaram told me

If we conduct this function

Did the astrologer also say
your youngest son will return?

That will never happen in this lifetime!

'Govt has announced a
tender only for this mine'

And it has got a great potential

Our profits will be huge

But

Too many competitors have lined up

Yes, sir

To win this tender, Jayaprakash is already

...forming a consortium
according to our sources

Whatever you intend quoting

Specify 25% more than that

But our profit will be affected

This isn't about profit

But related to our identity

'And that is priceless!'

See what you've done to that identity

'Past 6 months we've been hearing
there's union problem in the Port'

What have you been doing?

No, dad, I've been trying to solve it

Don't try

Do it!

I shouldn't read this News hereafter

Sir, Dr Anand is on the line

- Tell him to come home
- Okay, sir

I don't know what you'll do

Come what may we must win this tender

What, doctor?

You make so many patients wait
daily Won't you wait for me one day?

'I have taken all the
tests you asked me to'

'Don't prescribe more medicines I
already have a pharmacy at home!'

What happened?

What I suspected is true

What did you suspect?

Your test result

It is positive

You are suffering from

Pancreatic cancer

4th stage!

It's a very dangerous cancer

It cannot be treated effectively

What are you trying to tell me?

Am I going to die?

How much more time do I have?

8 months!

10 months

Dai, have you told Sudha?

Please don't tell her

Other than you and me

I don't want anyone to know about this

Anand

Even I don't know how my death will be

But when I see the expression on your face

I am terrified

If you break down

I'll collapse and crumble too

Didn't you ask me something?

What?

Your wish

That birthday celebration like a wedding

Yes

Make the necessary arrangements

Why did you change your
mind all of a sudden?

Why not?

Can't I say it suddenly?

Let's do it

[mobile ringing]

'Mummy...!'

Tell me, ma

Your appa has agreed

For what?

To celebrate his 65th
birthday as a wedding function

With whom?

Dai...!

Oh! Sorry

I just thought

You still want to marry him a 2nd
time after knowing him all these years

But why are you sharing it with me?

You should attend the function, right?

Amma

You know how I feel about it

I cannot step into that house again

Dai...!

It has been 7 years

7 years since you left this house

Do you know how a mother will feel
not seeing her son all these years?

Your face

Your laughter

I'm scared I'll forget all that

'If I look back'

We have never celebrated
anything together as a family!

'Who knows?'

This could very well be the
last function in my life!

For my sake

Come home at least once

I understand

You won't come

Okay

Amma...?

Who are you, sir?

- Who do you want?
- 'Amma...!'

Why are you screaming?

Madam, he has arrived

- Who?
- Your son Vijay is here

"My ear can hear a lullaby so dear"

"Has my truth truly come to see me?"

"Needles in my heart
Now those scars depart"

"Even the pulse in my body
beats a rhythmic melody"

"The scent of my son leads me to the gate
My welcome wish as festoons decorate"

"My heart on cloud nine
swings to a tune sublime"

"A part of me that I lost
back in my arms at last"

"My smile and heartbeat forgotten then
now strengthened with a slice of heaven"

"My soul in this second in time
Drenched in kindness sublime"

"Right in front of me,
will time stand still totally?"

"In the corner of my lips slight
a smile lightens with delight"

"Will this blessing so
dear live a lifetime here?"

"I was yearning for countless days
to see your innocent baby face"

"Now that you're back home, dear I can
hear the lilting lullaby in my ear"

"I was waiting eagerly to hear
the sound of your footsteps here"

"I was waiting in right earnest
for my lap to be your head-rest"

Ria?

Do you remember her?

Ria was very young then

This is your uncle, dear

Go and freshen up

I'll serve your favorite 'sukiyan' sweet

Go

So for 7 years waiting for a
call to invite you back home

...you were acting pricey

Huh? What fancy talk of
standing on your own feet!

You left as zilch and
back as the same zero!

Then why speak with such bravado?

What, anna?

It has been 7 years

Your anger towards me
hasn't lessened at all?

In all these years not a single day
has gone without me not missing you

Have I committed such a big crime for
all of you to hate me in this house?

I shouldn't have come here, anna

Dai, I didn't mean it deliberately

I may have spoken out of anger

Even we missed you here

Now and then, I think

Hey...!

What, da?

You fell for my line?

Aiyo! My dear brother

You are prepared to eat dirt for
my few sentiment laced dialogs?

Not 7 years

I didn't miss any of you
even for a single second

I was enjoying myself

What is your problem now?

You are worried why I'm back, eh?

I'm not here to ask for my share

I came for amma's sake

I'll go back after the function

I'm not here to race with
both of you blindfolded

Don't be scared

Your 'owner'
will be looking for you...go...go

Bro!

Get me a half boiled egg, go

Everyday seems to be a royal
struggle with these people

Dinner ready

Dinner ready

Dinner ready

- Dai!
- Dinner ready

Din-

- Why are you screaming?
- Then what?

Before I invite everyone here

...my body will become
as flat as a lizard!

I get it

- Won't you change?
- Don't flatter me!

Feeling very shy

That's fine

At least is this house
better now or still the same?

Fat hopes you have!

It has gone from bad to worse

Look over there

Dining table in any house charts
out the horoscope of a joint family!

Sit down and watch You'll see for yourself

Huhn? Really?

Let's watch the show

"Like this grindstone,
o' bride be strong and push troubles aside"

"Be inseparable as the stars above
Arundati & Vasishta in your love"

"Trousseau the daughter-in-law
brings is the sound of her toe-rings"

[song from soap opera 'Metti Oli']

Cross check those papers and send them

Look there

#1 entry

No need, I'll take care

What is this?

Describing it like a jail?

Of course this is a jail

A wealthy jail

Your appa is the warden!

Why is the first son all alone?

Won't my sister-in-law join him?

'I don't know what the problem is'

Past 6 months they haven't spoken
or even seen each other face to face

- Hahn?
- Huhm

Here comes #2

'What is he looking for?'

When your senior anna
is at the dining table

Your junior anna won't eat with him

They will both look like winning
race horses to an outsider

Only insiders know the truth

They beat Tom & Jerry hollow!

Baby

Come down soon

- 'Coming, baby'
- Heard that?

This is reverse

If your sister-in-law is night then
your brother is her night dress!

They are like hand and glove

This big sinner won't
eat without his baby boss

Serving her 'sambar'

Thank you

When I'm not here,
will you talk the same way about me too?

No way

How can I tell it to your face?!

Hey

- Come, eat
- Mum-mo!

M-O!

What are you doing, ma?

Past 1 hour,
I've been watching They come, eat and go

Not one of them asked if you ate?

How are you managing in this circus?

Come, sit down

God help you!

Too much!

How many times I would have
called you to get out of here?

This time you come with me

Where will I go?

A house is just made of brick and mortar

Easy to walk out

Is family the same?

Okay, ma

So how much and how long
can you put up with this?

Why should I put up with
a place I like to be in?

Everyone here has some flaw or the other

I'm not denying it

But in this birth

This is my family

Until now you haven't answered my question

No need, don't ask

I will ask, I want to know

Are you happy here, amma?

You just won't understand
even if I answer this

Eat

'Tell them I don't want'

I didn't start this app for
those who have everything

It is meant for the have-nots

I don't want an investor who wants
to scrape the bottom of a hungry bowl

Tell this to that dimwit What is his name?

Aditya Mittal

He's not doing any favor to us, okay?

I'll call you back

What are you up to?

Who are you to question me?

You are just a guest here

Don't think you can take liberties with me

Are you trying to save me?

I won't let go of that
chance even if it is 0.1%

Why?

I've accepted it

I know...I know

When you agreed to celebrate this function

I knew you've come to terms with it

That's for Sudha

Until now I haven't
fulfilled any of her wishes

In my life, this will be

The last celebration

Why should I worry?

I've leaving behind a huge
empire I built brick by brick

And 2 princes for sons to run it

Immediately after the function

I'll tell my entire family the truth

Until then let Sudha and everyone be happy

That's fine

Who will be your heir?

Million $ question decided?

You were chasing me for
a long stretch of time

Now I have to run behind you, eh?

When even your own dad didn't believe
in your project and didn't fund you

I lent you money

4 billion

2 years ago

Now including the interest 5.5 billion

I have saved your dad's # in my phone

- I presume you know that?
- Hey Mukesh

Give me some time please

I don't want my dad to know about this

You bet!

You keep dreaming you'll
become your dad's heir

But if he gets to know all this

Your dream won't come true, right?

Already I'm hearing rumors

Your dad intends making
your brother his heir

Grapevine news

I won't let that happen

More than this 5.5 billion

If I offer something more lucrative?

What is that?

How much longer will
we meet clandestinely?

You are having the cake and eating it too!

- Do you really love me?
- Hey!

How can you even doubt that?

Then what?

Please wait a bit longer

When I become the chairman

Then no one can stop me

Are you sure?

Has your dad named you as his heir?

What will you do if he
selects your brother?

You have no answer for that, do you?

Hey Smita

Tell me, sir

None of the problems there
should be snuffed out

Keep fuelling the fire

I'm following your orders, sir

I'll do the needful

"Frying pan on the stove piping
hot Socket so useless, use not"

"Vadivelu Dubai comedy Dodge
when your hands are empty"

[folk song]

Oh! Lubba lubba!

Lub-dub lubba!

Lubba!

What quiet mischief are you up to?

- Who is she?
- Who is who?

July 4th

- You went to see a bride for your anna?
- Yes

- That bride had a sister
- Yes

You complained to me she
couldn't take her eyes off you

Abbaa!

Why bring up her image in my mind now?

That 'her' is this 'she'

Which one?

This Miss India card and that
'Aadhaar' card are ditto?

That '2 plait pretty miss'
is roaming with her hair loose

What are you braiding now?

- Look at my timing?
- Why?

The short time I intend staying here

I was wondering how I can talk to her,
hook her, hug and kiss her

When she herself is interested
in me in this rushing rash way

My love track is so easy, no?

She has no such interest

Only rushes in rashly!

She crushed your timing long time ago

You are discouraging lovers

Who is her lover?

I, me, myself!

I won't accept it

- What?
- Make black tea for me

Bring it in the right time
you claim you're good at

Don't talk about timing to me

- This is the right way
- Ah! Okay

'Didn't I tell you?'

My friend's dad is an advocate

I spoke to him

If you are okay,
we'll take the process forward

What process?

Divorce, akka

Did I ask you for help?

Should you ask?

Seeing is believing

You are not happy here

You don't even know that?

You know it's ages since I saw you smile

For the sake of your
children and this society

You want to sacrifice your life, akka?

You have to come out of this hell hole

I can't do that

You'll never change, will you?

"Like thunder and lightning Come,
dude, daring and daunting"

"Rev up your spirit Dude, go on, do it!"

"Fizz it"

Baby...babe

I think you didn't see me

Who are you?

Thank God he didn't see this

I had the same feeling I didn't
recognise you at first either

More than before even I have become

Smarter and handsome-er!

That's why I seem like a stranger to you

July 4th

Your sister's wedding

You got attracted to a boy

Yes...Appi

Appi...o?

Appachan My classmate

I used to call him Appi

Appi or Tuppy I don't know who

Don't you recognise me

No, I don't

No, uh?

'Black tea'

'On the dot timing'

Forget it

This is a famous film dialog,
'Love is like a flower to some'

'Once the flower wilts and withers
the petals can't be stuck back!'

A strong glue can fix it as good as new

Why didn't you tell this earlier?

I did, no one listened to me

Listen to me now

That time was her akka's entry here

This is the time she
wants her akka to exit

Oh! Then the issue is my brother
and wife not getting along

Otherwise she likes me

When did I say that?

You didn't exactly say so You believe it,
right?

"Happy birthday to you"

"Happy birthday to you"

"Happy birthday, dear Harshu"

"Happy birthday to you"

Hahn?

Look, she's looking at me

Who?

You think so?

Move this side

I'll make you understand

Where is she looking now?

Aiyo!

Look! She's looking at where I stood

No one can beat your timing!

Come and stand here

I'm better off standing next to that horse

Do you want to grab its grass and eat?

You always have a quick rejoinder!

I hate the sight of him
even standing next to you

Leave him, akka

It's better to leave
than carry on like this

Correct?

Then what? I am yet to see you smile

Why torture yourself?

More than the fear of
living alone after a divorce

Feeling terrible living together
is even more of a trauma

Of course you'll be
scared I am not denying it

But

If you step over that stage

You can enjoy a new life

At least won't you be happy?

Isn't this what you wanted to say?

Am I right, da?

You'll hit me if I disagree

Hmmm...correct

Think

Think deep

Think deep and hard

- What, da?
- Instead of uniting with that girl

You separated her sister from her husband

Backfired, right?

Your family is already on fire

She won't see you

Pouting your lips like a baby
after messing it up big time

'Excuse me'

I thought that girl is
calling me even now?

Love is really a magical feeling

Huhmm...not even mud or clay!

- She's right behind you, turn
- Really?

You said something?

Sorry, stuffed my feet into my mouth?

No...not at all

You'll be

I thought you'll also be
just like your eldest brother

But

You are different

I was the one who thought you were wrong

It's okay if you thought I am wrong

But I am glad

You 'thought' of me, right?

Love, da

Go ahead, talk

July 4

2007?

Evergreen in my memory

I will never forget that day

I know about your Start up idea too

Been watching you

"She set her eyes on me"

"Her looks heated up scorchingly"

"In tune with my heartbeat
she came as a love-treat"

"To me it was a mighty slip I flipped,
skipped to her lip"

"Hey! This girl with jhimki ear-ring
Beaming with her eyes ever so alluring"

"Like waves hugging the shore repeatedly
A chocolate statue on a walking spree"

"Hey! She's a dusky, dusky rose refreshing
With a husky, husky voice ravishing"

"Like a drizzle showering cool beauty
This angel is roaming around the city"

"Hypnotized me with hugs was you I
have become your loyal fan so true"

"O' gold fish! Brushing past me provokingly
you stir up my senses breathtakingly"

"Handsome is your middle name"

"I should learn to play this love-game"

"The hand that sketched you like this
added extra elixir to the paint mix"

"Was this the moon that night
radiating joy with delight?"

"Is it that same moonlight
shining here at me so bright?"

"Both our eyes immersed in blissful love
Isn't it the same silver moon from above?"

"Hey! If you dab make-up on your face
it is a blemish like the moon's surface"

"You gleam like a mirror polished
I go to pieces over you famished"

"Where's beau's name, yours truly on
the name board in your porch, tell me?"

"My friend-zone is cut and uprooted
My life is set with you sure-footed"

"Your heart has now become
my hut with a warm welcome"

"Get lost, scoot from my view
I sweat now thanks to you!"

"I want a cupful of
your kisses for dinner"

"Start with 1 now as appetizer
What's wrong, my jhimki dazzler?"

"You play games so cute
With your eyes so astute"

"Your mischievous antics manifold
Your hype upgrades untold"

"She set her eyes on me"

"Her looks heated up sizzlingly"

"In tune with my heartbeat
she came as a love-treat"

"To me it was a mighty slip I tripped,
flipped to her lip"

"Was this the moon that night
radiating joy with delight?"

"Is it that same moonlight
shining here at me so bright?"

"Both our eyes immersed in blissful love
Isn't it the same silver moon from above?"

[mobile ringing]

Who is this?

Consider me your 'friend'

Or delete the first 3 letters
and think of it as your 'end'

'Good news'

Not for you, for me

You are 'tender' king usually

But I've got the mines
tender in my hands now

'How did I manage that?'

Someone very near and dear to you

Maybe handed over your
tender details to me?

I don't have time to think

I barged in

I'm coming for your crown

HOW THE HELL DID THIS HAPPEN?

How is it possible?

No one else knows about it
other than all of you here

How was the tender detail leaked out then?

You handled the tender, right?

How did it leak?

Tell me how?

The paper that covered us all the time

JP will hog the headlines tomorrow!

As soon as I find out the traitor

I WILL GIVE THEM HELL

HELL!

'Divya'

What a surprise, dear?

- Came to see my sist-
- Your sister

Hasn't she gone to your place?

- Who said she's here to see her akka?
- 'Then?'

Have you come to see your sister?

You're dead meat, get lost!

Looks like both the sisters
will take over this bungalow!

Whom did you want to see?

Um...er...uh

I came to see you, ma

I came just to see you

Come

Oh! You're here, ah?

"Oh! Baby...baby"

"My Goddess Devi"

Baby!

That long overdue hug and kiss

'Hey!'

'HEY!'

I am calling you, son

Come here

From when has this been going on?

July 4th

So many years ago!

She hit on me from then

It hit me...just now!

Hey! You didn't tell amma
the reason for your visit?

Show that

Mum, read this

Your son's company

Look at the investment I've got

Pccht! Take a look

What happened, ma?

Mom!

Only when I see all this,
I am reminded of reality

You'll leave anytime, right?

This is it

This is our problem

We lead our life like that

We worry about the present
thinking of the unknown future

But I'm with my amma this very minute

Pccht!

Listen to me

Look at me

Why did I come here?

Only because this function
should be special for you?

Just wait and watch how special I
make your function a day to cherish!

"Hey!"

"Gift from God gracious"

"Hey!"

"Godsend auspicious"

"Hey! A divine gift benevolent"

"Hey! A sublime precious present"

"This is the time to celebrate Everyone,
come and participate"

"This is the time to rejoice
Come and share our joys"

"This is the time to celebrate Everyone,
come and participate"

"This is the time to revel
Come to sing and swirl"

"Uncle, rejoice and revel"

"Uncs, rock & roll"

"Chithappa, tap your feet"

Auspicious time is nearing
Bring your mother here

[Holy chant]

The priest is calling us, let's go

A drama is about to be staged

Wait and watch

Why did you come here?

How much longer will
you keep me in hiding?

Everyone should know I'm in your life

Are you mad or what?

Didn't I tell you?

I need some more time

So you want me to continue being like-

I've had enough

Even though I knew all along
something like this was happening

I tolerated your deceit

But now

After seeing this with my own eyes

I'm just done with you!

Arthi

Arthi, wait, my dear

Don't take any hasty decision

Hey! Come here

COME HERE!

Arthi, listen to me

If you were in my shoes

What would you have done?

That's it, everything is over

'Not yet!'

'Game starts now'

Hi, sir, I'm Mukesh.

Financier.

Unfortunately I'm here to

Serve you this notice

Your son Ajay has borrowed a hefty
sum from me without your knowledge

To carry out the same real
estate project you rejected

That loan including the
interest amounts to-

5.5 billion!

Sir

I didn't lend him that huge a
credit trusting his credibility

It was for your face!

Hey!

'What are you doing, man?'

I gave you what you asked, right?

Then why this now?

You bloody cheat!

'Sir! You know that tender you lost'

You must have racked your brains as
to who leaked the details, right?

The culprit is

Your beloved 2nd son!

Now... I'm a cheat!

I'll make sure I kill you

You bloody-

How dare you manhandle me!

This is our home

Can you see over there?

That's the gate!

If you want to discuss any business
go outside the gate and speak

In the next 10 seconds if you
are not out of this compound

You won't reach your damn house!

Get lost!

'Hey Raju'

'What is this?'

'Thank God you didn't tell them
you have mere months to live!'

If you had told them

'They would've made mincemeat of you,
before you passed over'

Hear me out

For God's sake don't trust them

Don't tell them the truth

[mobile ringing]

Hello?

"Happy birthday to you"

"Happy birthday to you"

How did you like my birthday gift?!

You know business and calculations
like the back of your hand

You know to win over an enemy miles away

...with the help of your sons

But you are oblivious about your
own sons inches away from you?!

Actually I'm curious. Between your 2 sons

Who is your next heir?

Can you...live here with us?

- Huh?
- No, I asked

Can you live here like before?

Why?

You have to run all this

Run what?

This house and my company as my heir

You have to take the reins

[tickled chuckle]

You are a pucca businessman, right?

When you knew your 2 sons have gone
to the dogs you're dragging me in!

Into your race

Whatever mess you are in is
because of the decisions you made

But thank you

For asking me to get out that day

Because the second I
stepped out of this house

This whole world felt like home
with the exception of this house

Even that is thanks to you

Thank you for the offer,
Mr Rajendran Palanisamy

Pccht!

But I am rejecting it

In some corner of your mind do you
think I came here for your sake?

No chance

I came for my amma's sake
and I am going back now

No force can stop me

Take care, ma

Come, lunch is ready

I'm not hungry

You haven't eaten
anything from the morning

I'm telling you I'm not hungry

Why is he coming back?

Who?

Vijay!

Why didn't you go?

I didn't feel like leaving, ma

When you stepped out, I was scared

I thought

I thought that's the last
time I'll be seeing you

I was leading a royal life thinking
all my decisions were right

When death opened its jaw at me

I understood the complete essence of life

The questions death is asking me

I have no ready replies

All these years I thought
I had conquered the world

Losing at the home front

What is the use of conquering the world?

If I walk down memory lane

I don't remember any of my achievements

Only the mistakes I did
stare right into my face

'You are making grave blunders'

This was said to my face by...

...only you!

If those blunders have
to be straightened out

Only you can do it

Till date

I have never asked you anything

I am asking you now

Will you be by my side?

Even this request

I'm not asking for my sake

I am asking for your mother's sake

She has dedicated her
entire life to this family

Look what I've done to her?

Did you see my present plight?

The fact that I am dying

I can't tell anyone other than you

When Anand told me I have just months left

I was not scared at all

But when I see what's happening around me

I am terrified!

I am dying every second within me

If only you are with me

I'll be at peace without
being scared like this

Will you give me a peaceful send-off?

First check all the annexures

- Hello?
- Congratulations

For what?

Your plan worked out in your favor

Watch the News

'One of the renowned
industrial enterprises'

'Rajendran Group of Companies'

'Its founder Mr Rajendran is
retiring from his post as Chairman'

'Vanakkam'

'To my investors, stake holders and
those who supported me in my long tenure'

'Thanks'

'I have decided to retire'

Game over

That does not mean the game is over!

'The game'

'Starts only now'

'Let me introduce to all of you'

'The heir to my empire'

His heir?

Who is his heir?

"Here comes our identity
He is our Thalapathy"

"When Thalapathy enters the hall
'A1 moment' for one and all"

"If you are jealous watch from a distance"

"When Thalapathy comes
drum beats split eardrums"

"If you don't like it stand afar,
off limit"

"Don't get caught in the claws
of this roaring lion's paws"

"Don't think you can defeat me with fist,
fury and treachery"

"When Thalapathy enters the hall
'A1 moment' for one and all"

"If you are damn envious
watch from a distance"

"When Thalapathy comes fans whistle;
split eardrums"

"If you don't like it, alas!
stand afar, it's your loss!"

Hereafter knock before you enter

Chairman doesn't like it

Wondering who the chairman is?

Yours truly!

Hey!

How are you occupying that seat?

True that?!

How did I get to sit here?

I said I was leaving home

Appa asked me to stay behind

I said I would do so only
if he gave me his chair

He said 'okay' readily

That's all

Anna...!

Didn't I tell you then
I'm here for amma's sake?

Now let me tell you

I have come back for appa's sake!

Brothers!

Watch out!

THE BOSS

RETURNS!

"When Thalapathy enters the hall
'mass moment' for one and all"

"If you are jealous watch from a distance"

"When Thalapathy comes
drum beats split eardrums"

"If you don't like it, alas!
stand afar, it's your loss!"

Appa

APPA!

Appa...appa?

What is it, son?

- Why are you both yelling?
- Don't you know?

Don't you know what your husband did?

Your youngest son is his heir it seems

Then who are we?

Ask me

What has happened now?

You didn't like the events
during your birthday celebration

Is that right?

Yes, I am in love with Smita

So I am not eligible
based on that one issue?

'What did I do?'

I asked you money to start a business

If you had trusted your own
son and done the needful

Why will I go to someone else?

If what we did was a crime

Shall I announce in a mic
the blunder you committed?

You were responsible in creating
this competition between us

You made us fight with each other
and enjoyed watching the fun

[clapping]

[whistling]

And the world's best son award goes to

Who deserves it between you both?

Huh? Everything is his mistake, right?

You are innocent babe in arms, eh?

Sir, you mentioned the word 'love'

I searched for its
meaning in the dictionary

It showed up as 'exploitation', sir

You have given that female's
father our mines transport tender.

Without anyone's knowledge!

What is the discount?

3 million per day which adds
to 2.19 billion for 2 years!

I didn't know your love will
be such a costly affair!

'Sir...!'

One who gave the tender details

You have to prove him wrong So
you borrowed money from outside

Why don't you show the
profits you made from that?

What happened?

Not there? Good Lord!

5.5 billion

Vanished into thin air?
That's why he didn't give you money

But

What you said is right
too He also blundered

He blundered to safeguard
his hard earned money

But you on the other hand

You blundered to squander or misuse!
That's a major difference, right?

Okay

What's done is dusted

Whatever happened should
change us for the better

What will happen

Only we should alter

At least now let's be a family

What did you say?

Be with you, eh?

Till such time you are here I
won't stay for even 1 minute!

You'll realise the heat of this seat

From this minute onwards

[mimicking fake laughter]

You are next in line, da

Your decision to make him your heir

Will you change that or not?

No

The fact I don't have
a place in this house

You've said it with a slap on my face!

'Thanks'

Please don't walk away in a huff!

Dai, please listen to me

Dai...!

Whatever it is let's talk it over

Jay, listen to me

Dai! Stop them from leaving

Go, da

Amma

They have already distanced themselves

If you don't let go even now

They will never come back

'Eshwar?'

Eshwar

Sir has come Show him around the port

Who is 'sir'?

Whose 'sir'?

I know only 2 sirs

One is Jay sir

The other is Ajay sir

'Only they are my boss'

I don't know him from Adam!

Hey! How dare you! What audacity!

Matthew...Matthew

I can explain, sir Please come

Sir!

'Someone told me'

He isn't here to race with me

Then why did you return
like the prodigal son?

Didn't you witness it?

If you stay here you have to
keep running all your life!

'1-2'

'1-2-3-4'

Hey!

Get it into your head at least now

'1-2-3'

- Hey!
- '4'

How did you become the chairman?

You should have the right quality
to occupy the chairman's seat

And you don't have that

Anna...!

What, bro?

1 or 2 means I can manage
How can I fight an army?

Have some mercy on your brother

Am I an Iron man?
I'm only an ordinary man!

Hey! Did you regard me as your 'anna'
for me to excuse you as my 'thambi'?

Hey! Throw him aside

I didn't do anything, anna

He was the one who hit
my hand with his body

Hey! What are you waiting for?

Bash him!

"My Thalapathy!"

Oooh! Ouch!

Is the quality check okay, bro?

Hey...!

Thought this is the end of it?

All the workers here are my men

You can't be safe here

This is

My ground!

Doesn't matter who owns the ground

What counts is who is playing the game!

Want to see my game?

"Check it out, yo"

"Bring it up, yo"

"He is the man, yo He is THE man, yo!"

"Who else can it be?"

'He is our very own Thalapathy"

"If the heir steps in, V for victory
Watch the sky for his flag of glory"

"Law in his hands is held firm and fair
Enjoy the fireworks with our hero-heir"

"He's stuffing a cobra into a sack?
Don't invite trouble, step back"

"Don't show your mini-might
with our eagle in solo flight!"

"He is the scented garland
in the monkey duo's hand"

Got scared?

I would've crushed your car

But now it is my property, right?

That's why I spared it

Whose control is the ground in now?

Ground maybe filled with your men

But the audience will watch only 1 man

Have you heard of that?

Man of the match!

Then

What happened until now cannot be repeated

Because

Now

I am the boss!

"Don't mess with this thambi"

"History will turn topsy-turvy"

"To even think of defeating
me you need a 1000-man army"

"To face me in the arena nevertheless
you have to break barricades boundless"

- Get an auto for anna
- Okay, sir

- Hey...!
- Sir?

- Fare is c/o his account
- Sure, sir

"When Thalapathy comes
drum beats split eardrums"

Grand entry!

'He's looking weirdly at us'

Who are these people?

Did you just ask 'Who are these people?'

You aren't even aware of that and
occupying the Chairman's seat!

They are Board of
Directors of this company

- Why has this meeting been convened?
- No Confidence Motion

To vote if a person is deemed
fit to hold a position or not

This is a Limited company

If you want to sit in this
chair and become the Chairman

Board of directors seated
here should be on your side

You don't have that kind of majority

As far as I know

Court notice

In another 2 days you have
to prove your majority

All the best!

If your dad has given you
this responsible position

We know he would have
analysed the pros and cons

So we vote

Only for you

But our support alone won't
help to get votes in your favor

Sorry

[mobile ringing]

Yes

The boss returns

My dear 'thambi'

You thought this was a theater seat?

To buy tickets and take your seat?

It is the Chairman's seat, da

One who occupies this seat is like a king!

You think you are eligible
to occupy that seat?

I shouldn't see you again in this area

'Asking for coffee at midnight!'

'Cow kicks me hard if I try to milk it'

Here is your coffee

Why do you look so dull?

You were having a gala time roaming
around in your casual clothes

No problems like this

You donned one extra coat

Look how your problems got coated!

What is your problem now?

Dai!

Who found these siblings and relatives?

No need to 'find' them

If you are doing well,
enough They will make a beeline to you!

My dear kith and kin

You are toxic, da

Yes

If you have a problem with them

Can't yell at them,
hit them or leave them and go

Can't keep fighting and
live under the same roof

This sounds very familiar

Where did you see?

Where did I-

In your appa's room

Mahabharath

Telugu dubbing

Do you know what is said?

If you want good things to happen

You can even fight with your kith & kin

There is a specific name for this episode

'Leader of Dharma'

'Dharma protects you'

'War of righteousness'

Yes

Everything is fair in love and war

Hello, Mr Vijay My name is Deepak

I'm the Returning Officer for this voting

'They have all shared their
opinion even before you arrived'

And Mr Ajay has a clear majority

Officer, please announce the winner

Don't waste time

Sir, how can you announce directly?

Campaigning is a prelude to voting, right?

If you can grant me 5 minutes-

If 5 minutes is granted

Will directors on this side switch camps?

In 5 minutes even a Govt changes!

Who knows?

After hearing my speech, even you might

- Switch to my side
- What?

In your dreams, eh?

Sir, give him time

Let us see what he accomplishes

Your time starts now

Sir

My father brought this company to
this level with his blood, sweat and-

Hey! Turn it off

Appa shed blood, poured sweat!

Made you wear a sweater!

Your sympathy won't work here

Try something new

What, sir?

Put on your thinking cap

Think of something new

'Aak paak karuvepaak I'll
give you a super shock'

What is this new poem?

This is a new book, sir

Book, huh?

In that book

Chapter # 1

Story about a family man

He's a big shot in Chennai

His name is-

- Sir...?
- Huh?

If you don't mind

Can I use your name for that character?

Velraj

All yours to keep!

Velraj

Perfect family man, sir

Daughter is studying medicine abroad and
son is studying in a well known college

And he is a very disciplined person

To what extent means?

He won't shell out a naya paisa
even for his son's birthday party!

He will say this money came
from his blood and sweat

His wife treated him like God, sir

Even the family details match mine

Character jells too like glue

Continue

Everyone will work only 6 days in a week

But our Velraj

He will work hard even on Sundays

He'll leave his house every Sunday by car

'We'll assume he's going to his office'

But the car will race on Adyar flyover,
make an U turn

And stop at-

Where, sir?

Brindavan Colony

What is his job in Brindavan Colony, sir?

As if that's so important!

Keep quiet

Please proceed, sir

Investment, sir

Street # 18

Small set-up

Brother

He has another wife, sir

If there are investments
returns will follow, right?

You bet there is!
He has another son 10 years of age

Bro, please stop here

Sir, this isn't about you

It is the character Velraj in that book,
sir

Oh! Book?

You booked me!

That 10 year old son

Said, 'Appa I want to be
like cricketer Virat Kohli'

When the 1st son asked
money for his birthday party

The father who slapped his son

For his 2nd son

He spent $6000 and got a bat from
Australia the very next week!

'That's his pillow to sleep!'

When that boy took the bat to a tournament

He dropped him at the ground
and advised him so lovingly, sir

What did he say, sir?

'Cu...cu...cup is important, Bigil!'

'Bigil'

'Cup is important, Bigil'

[from 'Bigil']

You penned your 'kutty story' on me!

Did the wife know about the mistress?

Yov! How is it possible?

Do you know the extent Velraj
goes to maintain secrecy?

All that you won't know

It should not be known either

- That is-
- Please don't add more, bro

- Your story has said it all
- Oh!

If that Velraj can come from
Besant Nagar to Brindavan

Won't this Velraj come
from here to your side?

I'm coming right now, my dear boy

What a poetic title for that book!

'Aak paak karuvepaak
Anna gave a super shock'

Sir, my vote is for

For the younger bro I mean,
to this 'anna'!

Sir, how can you allow this?

Sir, this is within the rules

Sir...!

How many more votes do I need?

You still need 4

Ohhhh!

[lamb bleating]

Chapter # 2

This is a friendship story

Sir, what is your name?

I won't tell you

His name is Thambi Durai

Use it, sir

Thambi Durai and Mustafa were
running a Chit Fund company in Kerala

Then one night Thambi Durai ran away
with all the money cheating Mustafa

He invested his entire loot in Chennai

He became a big shot
and in a company today

He has the power to decide
who should become the Chairman

Imagine his career graph!

'His story is my flashback'

Hey betel leaf chewer!

Isn't that you?

The only man Mustafa is searching
is Thambi Durai who cheated him

If I call him and tell him Thambi Durai
is alive, you know what he will say?

What will he say, sir?

I am...

...waiting

I am voting!

Sir

My family vote is for sir

Okay

Betel leaf for me

- 'Chunam' for you!
- I'm burning all over

'Sir...?'

You need 3 more votes

You need 3 more votes?

1 more chapter, sir

Multi starrer

3 characters

1 story

I have read that book

- Very inspiring
- Sir

The book you sent me, right?

I've read it too, sir

Big deal, book and all that

'Look at him'

How beautifully like a
teacher he taught us a lesson

"Master is coming! Move aside"

'Bump it, fellows!'

'Rock & roll, man'

[song from 'Master']

"When our bro steps in
atom bomb exploding"

Hey, what are you doing?

You said something, right?

This isn't a theater seat

Made 3 blockbusters in 1 film and
took the seat from under your butt!

Make the announcement now, sir

Chairman's name

Mr Vijay Rajendran

Selected as the Chairman of the company

Sir, this is Chairman's seat

Sir, please take your seat

Power is not in the seat, sir

The man who occupies that chair

He wields the power

Our power

One of a kind!

Punch is working out, eh?

You did a total knock out, bro

What, ma? Not had dinner?

Come, let's eat

I'm not hungry, son.

Why do you look out of sorts?

Your eldest sister-in-law
has served a divorce notice

Okay, what else did you expect?

His actions have reaped this repercussion

I'm his mother, son.

I can't think like that

Our family is breaking apart
right in front of my eyes

Now my daughter-in-law wants to leave too

Needles prick my heart even
thinking of Ria's plight

I can't be calm like you
and take it in my stride

'There was nothing wrong
about you sending the notice'

But I don't know if that
makes you happy doing so

What other choice do I have?

I don't have an answer for this question

This decision you've taken

Whether it will give you pain or peace

Only you know

Who are you to comment on this?

Where's my dad?

He should be talking to us

Ria!

Whatever decision you take

We will stand by you as
a family for Ria and you

For keeps

'Everything is at your convenience,
right?'

You told my sister to leave him that day

You want her to rethink today

Go and show this to your brother

He'll happily sign it

That's why I didn't go there!

I came here

Hey! Close it, close it Leave... leave.

What happened, sir?

We got Govt orders to seal the mine

Ask everyone to leave

'Mining corporation is sealing all mines
belonging to Rajendran Group of Companies'

'Is it the beginning of the
end of a renowned empire?'

'Or we will soon know if Rajendran
Group of Companies is shutting down'

This is a big blow for us, sir

Mines are the lifeline for our business

'Directly or indirectly'

'All our companies are linked to mines'

I'm not sure how your father
will bear this loss, sir

'What the hell is this?'

I have taken a lease for
50 years on the mines

Only 30 years have passed

How can you seal it?

Don't you follow rules?

Mr Rajendran

Problem isn't with our rules

It is within your family

You company has only 3 directors

2 of them have contested the mines'
license

We are well within our rights to
cancel this as per proper rules

That's what we've done

If you have something to
say you can talk to them

They are right here

Mr Rajendran

Do you wish to talk to them?

In another 15 days

These mines will open for re-tender

Whoever wins that,
will acquire the lease of these mines

If I have to win over you do I
have to cross over your 2 sons?

Look at your plight now

Your sons have crossed over to my side!

Count your days

He has managed to do everything

My 2 sons are hand in glove with my enemy

I shouldn't have been
alive to see this day.

You are seeing them both
supporting your enemy

But I, on the other hand

For the 1st time I see them
as united brothers-in-arms

Sir

Bring the files and details
on all our tenders so far

'This file has the quotes of all
the tenders we've won so far, sir'

What brings you here?

We must win this tender somehow

I heard he has already
started speaking to investors

If he acquires this tender

He will turn both your brothers

Into mere puppets

He is a crocodile

If I'm right

'He must have already
started his game with them'

One of them is aware I'll win

The other two

They are well aware how I will win

My calculations

My thought process

They know me inside out

To win this war, my father

...will go to any extent

The mines have a contract worth $3 billion

They will bid up to 4000 crores

We should exceed 40 billion

At least

We should quote 50 billion

We have to push it

We should bid up to 45 billion

Not enough

Not enough

This time we should bid
unimaginable numbers

Let's surprise them

6000 crores?

This is insane

If you want to win

This is the only way

Find one investor for this

We don't have much time

Make it fast!

Now I understand why
we don't win the tender

He has brought up both
his sons like monsters

But with just 1 stone we'll
hit Rajendran's 3 sons

The investor we get

...should be our man

- I'm talking to the investors
- Find someone soon

He should be smart

Shrewd

Ruthless

Finally I met a big investor

Aditya Mittal

'But when you talk to
him watch your words'

He's a shrewd businessman

- Hi
- Hello, sir

This is Jay Rajendran and this is Ajay-

I've already got the intro and updates

As an investor

My only interest in this project

$3 billion deal on the mines

So our terms of the deal will be

I dictate the terms

You may know about the mines

But the money is mine

So the deal will be 80-20

What?!

You call this a deal?

75-25

It's 55-45

Or nothing

Good luck!

Sir-

What's up with both of you?

It's impossible to get an investor
like this in the last minute

Hey! Do we look like beggars to you?

No way!

Then be ready to lose to
your father and brother

This deal is okay for us

What is wrong with you?

This isn't related to percentages

It's related to our identity

It's important we win now

That's it

Get ready for the tender

'15 companies have bid for
the tender of these mines'

'Company which has bid 3rd highest'

KRG Group of Companies

Company that bid 2nd highest

Rajendran Group of Companies

The company which quoted the
highest bid and won this tender

Global Consortium Enterprises

'After the formalities are over'

The mines will be handed over
to Global Consortium Enterprises

'Thank you, ladies and gentlemen'

Thank you

Go tell that old man

You are his rightful heir

The heir who has come to seal his downfall

Boss-bud

When I see you,
I'm reminded of a tale my grandma told me

There was a huge forest

There lived a tiger with such temerity
assuming it can defeat all the animals

What that power-crazy tiger
who was careless didn't know

A hunter will stand in
front to make it his prey

Hunter

Tiger

Arrow

Just a small twang

Ting!

The end

Game over

So now you know the identities of
the tiger and hunter in this forest

To the hunter

Hunting is his profession!

Go tell your father

Hereafter blow after blow
after blow after repeated blows

...will strike you down

Be prepared, boss-bud

Rajendran

He should have been here today

I missed the chance to
see the loser's face

Tell me

When is that Aditya Mittal coming?

As an investor

He has to sign the agreement

He'll be here to sign on that day

[mobile ringing]

Why this panic?

Calling me nonstop?

Not like that, sir

This is an important contract, right?

There are many ill wishers
who don't want you in here!

You refused security to protect you,
that's why

Hey!

I'm the one who calls the shots here

'Who will aim a shot at me?!'

I presume you know whom you're talking to

No one can stop me

I'll be there, hang up

He's on the way, sir

Why this delay, sir?

Only 10 minutes left to
complete the formalities

- Call him
- Sir

Sir, he is here

Sir, Vittal sir Let's go inside, sir

Hey!

Sir?

Why this tension?

I'm here, right?

'Sir...sir...sir'

We are running short of time
Check has to be submitted

We are waiting for your signature, sir

'Only 5 minutes left Please,
sir, let's go in'

Mukesh

What will you and I do going inside now?

My boss has to come

- Aren't you the boss, sir?
- I am boss to you!

But for me...?

"It's time,
it's time to give it back, dude"

"Your turn now to conclude
Time to return the favor, dude"

'Vanakkam', uncs!

'We should bid up to 45 billion'

Not enough

You want to quote more than that?

We will quote even less

Those who know your calculations
like the back of their hand

We shouldn't combat with numbers

Didn't you tell me JP is like a crocodile?

You don't need a bait
to catch a crocodile!

'Leave this to me'

Let me play this game

What, boss?

I thought you had forgotten me

I need a help from you

Help, uh?

Just order, boss

You made me invest on your terms in your
'Map My Food' deal

I fell flat at your feet
then floored by your talent

I'm now your devoted fan!

Don't embarrass me,
partner I am feeling shy

Aiyo! If you feel shy Tamil
Nadu can't take it, boss!

Tell me how I can help you

Muah!

[Telugu] Coming...I'm coming!

Bro, hold this

I'll take it from you

Uncs!

You shouldn't have slept half
way through your grandma tale

You're right, a hunter indeed stood in
front of a tiger lying in the forest

But the hunter himself did not know this

The tiger that got fed up of making a
prey out of all the animals in the forest

Targeted only the hunter
in its hunting list!

Luring him into the jungle pretending
to be the prey was that clever tiger!

Arrow, hunter, tiger

A slight twang!

Twain!

The end

Uncs, hunting is the hunter's profession!

The tiger treats it as a game

Did you think you found
an investor on your own?

The one who sent him to you

Yours truly!

If you don't submit the check
what will happen, partner?

Your company,
next in queue will get the deal

What was it you said?

'Blow after blow after
blow after repeated blows'

'Will strike you down?!'

Uncs, love or blow

You should think thrice
before giving it to me

Tell me why

Whatever you give me I
return it in triple effect

'You don't know about me'

Get to know Start the BGM!

[mobile ringing]

Arthi?

Did Ria come there?

Here?

No

- 'Isn't she back home yet?'
- No

'It's so late 10:30 p.m'

I'm scared for her

What happened?

'She said she will be home
after 1 hour from school'

Her phone is switched off from that time

Come, Sruthi, sit

Ria said she was going out with you

Was she with you?

She didn't meet me

Aiyo!

I think she has

Gone with a boy

A boy?

A boy she met on Buble

'Buble' means?

Buble is a dating app

Did you find out anything?

She has gone out with some boy it seems

With a boy?!

What were you doing then?

I knew right then,
you are incapable of taking care of her

Then why didn't you
look after her instead?

'Where were you all these days?'

What rights do you have now
to even ask this question?

I am her father Who are
you to poke your nose?

Do you remember your father status
only after your daughter is missing?

When have you been a father to her?

You don't know her friends
or anything about her life

You don't know her pain

Is it enough if you come here suddenly,
jump and claim 'I am her appa'?

What is it now?

Do you want to fight?

Or you want to find her?

[mobile ringing]

- Tell me
- Sir

We have tracked the call
log of the # you gave us

Her phone was switched off in
Palavakkam area at 5:00 p.m

Palavakkam?

In that area

They used to meet often in a coffee shop

Ria

Play the footage of the Exterior Camera

Freeze

'Zoom that cab #'

Kaliappan, have you tracked the route?

- That's a fake # plate, sir
- Show me

Shit!

She clearly fell into
human trafficking trap

Many girls have gone missing in this area

'Vast network'

'We touch 1 rowdy there
that whole area will revolt'

Once the car crosses that arch

Chapter closed

'No two ways about this Ruthless people!'

Sir

- A man by name Antony-
- Yov!

Shut up, man!

Don't I know to single out names?

'If someone gets into
trouble following that lead?'

Who will take the responsibility?

'Sir, it will take 2-3 hours
to mobilize our police force'

Your girl will be transported out by then

'No one who entered that area
has been traced till date'

'Anyways,
we will try to mobilize the force'

Earlier 2-3 mobsters were
operating in that area, sir

'Only Antony is the kingpin now'

'Drugs, kidnapping He's the main criminal'

The whole area is under his control, sir

But till date,
no one knows his whereabouts, sir

Whoever goes in there

Please don't mention his name

Which is Antony's house?

Hey! Who are you?

Huh? Police?

I presume you know whose area this is

A cab was spotted in this area at 5:15 p.m

A girl was kidnapped in that cab

I want that girl back

If Antony gets to know this matter

You'll be the 1st corpse in
the cemetery at dawn, get out

I don't have time

Where is Antony?

Hey, man! You deaf or what?

'Hey! Wait'

- I want to meet Antony anna
- Why, da?

He's coming

Who is the 'he'?

Hey!

- What, anna?
- Go and check

Hey!

Where is Antony, I say?

Where is Antony?

Where is Antony?

Antony?

'He is Antony'

- Hahn?!
- He is Antony

I asked you just now

Why do you need this kind of build-up?

Huh? Hey!

Your lackeys kidnapped a girl

Ria

You came this far looking for a girl, eh?

You made a grave blunder

Anyone can come into this area

But he can never leave

You can never trace her

This is what they said about you too!

Didn't I track you down?

Hey!

Try and see if you can save her

Who told you I intend saving her?

You will do the needful for me

Huh?

[mobile ringing]

- Bro?
- Where are you?

Going to the harbor, bro

Turn back and bring the girls here

What happened, anna?

You heard me? Get back here

ANNA! JUST SAY YES

I'll make mincemeat out of him

Sir...!

Hey! Who is that?

When I get my feet on the ground

'I will first finish you off'

Appa!

Amma

In their growing years

...if children are deprived of love
and affection from their parents

They will look for it outside the family

Their search can even end in a wrong venue

You've raised her for 14 years

I saw the agony in your eyes
when she was missing for 3 hours

If their children drift away

Looks like even parents
will feel the same way, da

Vijay

Let's go to our home

- Ria
- Grandma

It's alright

Come

Dai! Come inside

'If their children drift away'

'Looks like even parents
will feel the same way, da'

'Amma!'

Appa has come back

Forgive me

I'm sorry, uncle

Thank you

What's up?

Looking out of the balcony

Feel so good today, eh?

'Even I feel ditto!'

Ask her to leave

- 'Tell her to clear out'
- Your sister-in-law is back now

- Women empowerment!
- Oh!

Ask her to leave a little later

She's writing some story it seems

The title is unique
'Basement With 2 Wheelers'

'Based On True Events'

She was stuck in the climax
So she came to me for an idea

What story?

A boy and a girl

That boy flipped for the girl big time

Why is it only the boy has to flip always,
huh?

Won't girls fall for boys then?

- Aiyo!
- Listen to the full story

O...oh, okay

One boy and one girl

Only the girl flipped for the boy

Now it fits well, right?

Listen to it fully please

The girl kind of misunderstood him

Now she is thinking of a reunion

If the boy says 'okay'

Her love will be a
success and happy ending

- What will the boy say?
- Exactly!

- How will you answer, da?
- Whatever it is, I'll say 'okay'

You are from a desert!
You'll say exactly that

But that boy won't say 'okay'

Because that girl has an ego
to the distance of Erode!

NO!

Ignore him and think of that boy as me

- Will you tell me?
- Get lost!

Let me repeat my story

One boy

One girl

Wow! This version is simply super

Listen to the story till the end

Why do I have to listen beyond this stage?

There's prologue,
epilogue and emotions sandwiched in-between

Victory celebrated by families

I can even stick my head under a lorry

But in-between lovers

Her words like pearls cast a spell"
