Vathikuchi (2013) - full transcript

A share auto-driver gets entangled in a plot where 3 criminals want him dead.

'MATCH STlCK'

'AMBATTUR ESTATE'

Look at my son...oh god!
He's lying lifeless like this

Did I educate him
to see him like this?

I've got 25 insurance
policies this month

He wants another 25
How's that possible?

All my friends and relatives
run more than a mile from me

Even if I do manage, I must
get the same next month too

Continuous process

If we don't deliver
they'll kick us out

Insurance agent...sales rep
what kind of a lifestyle is this?



You know who is
to blame for this?

10 days back
we were free

We could even
blame it on bad time

But now, he is
the culprit for our plight

Why is he stepping
into our space?

Thanks to him, we are
roaming around like mongrels!

Someone...please
call an ambulance

At least inform the police

lmagine if he was dead here
instead of this poor soul...!

Less work, we'll be spared
the trouble of killing him

Oh gosh...!

Your baby is wailing
lsn't your husband at home?

He was there...!

I don't think so
Go home soon



How much
are the tomatoes?

Don't cry
Oh! My precious...!

Mummy didn't know
you had got up...sweety

'BENNY'

Yov! Can't you lift her
when she's crying?

Past few days
you've been sulking

Have I ever
stopped you from going?

Go...go and do
your chop-chop job!

They'll put you behind bars
We'll sit and rot outside

Have you any idea how
expensive milk powder is?

Give me Rs 100000 to take you
out on bail and kill as you please

'Gangariya'

This design is okay

- How many carats?
- 2 carats, sir

How many carats?

9 carats

Isit Italian cutting?

- Belgium cutting, F Grade
- It is nice

'Kolicha'

Saet, he won't
last another blow

- He'll die
- Hit him

Stop it

Can hear
all this downstairs

Let him wash his face
Admit him in a hospital

Use the rear exit

Last month 2 silver
toe rings were missing?

He has stolen them

Is this why we got him
from the village?

Why are you showing your
misplaced anger on him?

We don't have to kill him

You just watch

one of these days, he'll be floating
like a dog on the Coovum river

Go...attend
to your work

'These 3 people
have a common target'

'This is where he stays'

'Father'

'Younger sister'

'Mother'

'This is the target'

Hey! Where did you disappear
after dropping the kids in school?

I went to see Sundar

I know which Sundar
you went and saw

You would have
ogled at that girl

You can fall in love
Nothing wrong

But our families
are not compatible

They are too
educated for us

Won't match

Your father claims to be
a broker and loiters around

You drive
a share auto

You know the electricity
department near the beach?

Her father works
as a watchman there

Her older sister has married
a ward boy in a Govt. hospital

All of them are assured
of a regular salary every month

First of every month, her mother
extends such a long grocery list

Shop keeper delivers
the stuff at their door step

They buy one liter of milk daily

Some days
we don't even buy milk!

Her father rides past our house
at 7:00 pm in a TVS 50...

...with a plastic bag
hanging in front

He buys daily
for his daughter

What's that...?
Aah! Mushroom
He buys daily
for his daughter

What's that...?
Aah! Mushroom

Your father bought for
your sister...a month later

He's oblivious to the fact
charity begins at home

Have you seen the designer
clothes that girl wears?

Besides all this
she is educated

Ma, if she consents,
will you be okay with it?

She won't
say 'yes'

Hey! Shakthi

Vanraju?

Why don't you take
an insurance policy?

I just did
2 months ago

That was for your mother
Give me one in your name

Why do I even need one?

Otherwise my manager will not
pay me this month's salary

- Okay, collect it after 2 days
- Thanks, Shakthi

What's the matter?

Shakthi agreed to take
a policy in his name

I'll leave the form
with you for him to sign

I wanted to say
something else...?

Why don't you ask Shakthi to
stay out of town for a month?

Why?

The head constable told me

If Shakthi gets into any trouble
he'll be on the accused list

Let me see them do that

They can't take us for a ride
because we are illiterate and poor

Padma's son came back home
from the hotel he works in

They didn't find
the real culprit in some robbery

So they nabbed him instead

I sent Shakthi
to look into it

He took a lawyer with him
They at once dropped the case

Let them try making
my son an accused

I won't send him away anywhere
He'll be with me at home

I thought I should tell you
since I heard about it

Wait...eat some idlis
(steamed rice cakes)

Don't worry.
I'll eat at home

Your mother wouldn't have
cooked so early...wait

Tambaram...Tambaram...Tambaram

Tambaram...Tambaram...Tambaram

I'm about
to leave, bro

Yov! This won't go to
Tambaram, get down

-Why?
-Just get down

How annoying!

I'm scared
of class today

Why should you
be scared?

When did you wake up?

5:00 a.m

Have you prepared well?

Then...how will you forget?

Don't panic
We'll rock today

Dude, I'll go to
Tambaram today

You go to
some other area

I'll treat you and your wife
to a special biryani tonight

I'll get you
2 movie tickets

In a multiplex theater in the city
you can watch in cozy comfort

Please...

Don't announce
She is almost here

She's heading this way

Please...!

Ambattur...Avadi
Ambattur...Avadi

Ambattur...Avadi
Ambattur...Avadi

What's happening here?

Tambaram...Tambaram

Let's get into this

Didn't you read
the newspaper at home?

No time

Keep an eye
on my auto, dude

- Hi friends
- Good afternoon, ma'am

- How was your week end?
- Nice, ma'am

- Routine, ma'am
- Good

-Are you all prepared?
-Yes, ma'am

Shut up

Where is Koperundevi?

I tried my best
to call her, ma'am

But she refused to come

Why?

She's scared to speak
in English it seems

Why are you scared
of conversing in English?

Why are you worried
if you speak wrong English?

Make mistakes

Just let the words tumble out

We are here
to correct you

English is so simple

Ramesh, come here

- What are you planning to do?
- Chicken Biriyani, ma'am

Go ahead

1/2 Kg Chicken
2 tomatoes, 2 onions

one lemon and a small cup
of curd...oil

Why are you stalling?

I don't know the name for
frying pan in English, ma'am

Take the pan
Put on the stove

Then fry the chicken,
onion, tomato

Take the cooker with rice

Put on the stove
Waiting some minutes

Biriyani ready

-Who wants to taste?
- Not us, ma'am

We were horizontal for 4 days
tasting Leena's spinach pancake!

Next, Leena
and Sivakami

-What is your 'Fluency-act'?
- Phone talk, ma'am

Take your mobiles

Leena, turn
to your left

Sivakami, turn
to your right

Now you start

- Hi Leena
- Hi

- How old are you?
- Fine

Stop...stop

She's asking your age

You are saying
'I am fine'!

Ma'am, I answered correctly

She asked me
the wrong question

If she changes the question
you should answer accordingly

Why are you
messing it up?

I asked
the right question

Okay...let's start
all over again

Hi Leena

- How are you?
- Fine

-What are you doing?
- Watching TV

-Which program?
- 'You or me'?

Dude, I've studied up to grade 6

Leena up to grade 9

So my mother thinks
I shouldn't fall in love with her

She says that her family
belongs to a higher status

Is that so, dude?

Love is beyond status
and such statistics

All this is common in love

Is that girl
interested in you?

That means...?

We'll keep
looking at girls

But they won't
meet our glance

They'll look at us when
we are not looking at them

We'll catch them
looking at us

- Has she looked at you?
- No, she hasn't

When you walk
past their house...

...they know very well
we are 'hitting' on them

But they'll feign innocence

They'll deliberately
swing their hips and hands

Smile and laugh
a little extra

- Has she done that?
- No...!

I can be brutally frank
Then you shouldn't feel bad

That's why
I'm asking you

She doesn't
love you one bit

Get lost!

- Okay
- Bye

See you tomorrow

Take care

Have a nice day

- Samathuvapuram...!
- Velachery...!

Ambattur...Avadi
Ambattur...Avadi

Velachery...Velachery

Samathuvapuram
Samathuvapuram

Samathuvapuram
Samathuvapuram

My boyfriend is here
to pick me up

We're going to
Gandhi Mandap

He's standing
over there

-You...going home?
- Today is Friday, right?

I'm going to Velachery

Weekend with
my grandmother

My mother will
come there directly

Velachery...Velachery!!

You are
very sincere

Forever studying
In school, at home

Even while walking!

English is really tough

I hope you won't get me wrong
if I say something to you

We both stay
in Samathuvapuram

I know

I'm in your neighborhood
at least twice or thrice a day

Not on work

Just to catch
a glimpse of you

I know

When you get into my auto
I'll keep admiring you in my mirror

Sometimes I won't even
notice the oncoming traffic

- Madam
-What?

You said 'I know'
to all that I said

Don't you know
why I said all this?

Why?

I love you very much

Okay

- That means?
- Go ahead

-Are you serious?
-Yes, go ahead!!

''Her love, she did blaze
with her shrewd gaze''

''Her teeny weeny words I heard
I sprouted wings like a bird''

''I look around and grin sheepishly
I feel like jumping with joy boyishly''

''Song I just heard echoes in my mind
I dance shamelessly unconfined''

''Her love, she did blaze
with her sharp gaze''

''Her itsy bitsy words I heard
I sprouted wings like a bird''

''Her love, she did blaze
with her astute gaze''

''Itty-bitty''

''Wings''

''She blessed me with''

''Heaviness, without pain or pleasure
peeps from my heart's enclosure''

''Night vows 'I want you right now'
playing games with me and how!''

''Your name when asked, besotted
you should tell my name instead''

''I should walk by your side
to be viewed worldwide''

''Like a swing, swaying to and fro
Foryou my heart swings, you know''

Mother, serve me lunch

You are so down in the dumps
because you can't talk to that girl

How can you eat now, son?

The 2 are not connected
Serve me lunch now

''Her love, she did blaze
with her keen gaze''

''Her teensy weensy words I heard
I sprouted wings like a bird''

''I look around and smile sheepishly
I feel like jumping withjoy boyishly''

''Song I just heard echoes in my mind
I dance shamelessly unrestrained''

'Forget yourself but never
forget your mother dear'

''Adding zeroes 7, I count to a crore
I kill time...to see you, encore''

''The one who divided night and day
I search, to kill in desperate dismay''

''Girl, this love is a deadly ghost-bite
It will heal only when we unite''

''I prayed for a wish 24/7 ardently
to lean on your shoulder tenderly''

''I prayed for a wish 24/7 diligently
to lean on your shoulder tenderly''

''Her love, she did blaze
with her clever gaze''

''Herteeny weeny words I heard
I sprouted wings like a bird''

''I look around and grin sheepishly
I feel like jumping withjoy boyishly''

''Song I just heard echoes in my mind
I dance shamelessly unrefined''

- Hello...?
- What...!

After your English class today
shall we go to Vandaloor zoo?

Zoo...why?

Generally all those in love
go to some secluded place

And hold hands
Talk for hours on end

That's why
I thought...we could also-

- Okay, who is in love?
-You and me

Hello! You said you love me
I don't love you

You said 'yes'
the other day

No, I never did
You misunderstood

You know
my uncle's place, no?

When I cross
that street at 11:00 am...

...one chap will ogle at me
while brushing his teeth!

Another chap will keep looking
at me while drinking tea

Then another chap will ride past
in his bike falling all over me!

That's what you do too

Can I go to every single chap
and say ''don't look at me''?!

They have every
right to look at me

I have every right
to ignore!!

I won't cross my line
Neither should they!

You said you love me
I said 'Go ahead'

Did I say 'I do'?!

Why are you
talking in circles?

Hello! I make
complete sense

Since you haven't studied,
everything I say seems Greek

Okay, try at least now
I'll wait for you to say yes

How can I?
Shouldn't you know?

I'm just now learning English
to speak basic Grammarrr...

...ah! Conversation

Then a degree in Tamil Nadu Open
university followed by a good job

Rest can follow later

I have plenty
of commitments

Think about it

If I say 'my husband is
a share auto driver'...

...does it sound good?!

If I've hurt you
I'm sorry

Hurt in English means
to trouble someone

Nothing of that sort

Then, okay...bye

Bro, send him
back home early

Okay, sis

Benny, the crap I ate in jail
will keep flashing in my mind...

...but I won't be able to eat

Places I visited keeps
flashing before my eyes

But I won't be able
to go anywhere

I'll want to sleep with my wife
But won't be able to!

Sheer hell, Benny

Don't think I'm blabbering
in a drunken stupor

Even our worst enemy
shouldn't go in, Benny

Why did you laugh?

I'll be going
to jail soon

Don't say that, Benny
Why did you say that?

How long have we known
each other? Tell me

lsn't it for a long time?

Whom did we do all this for?

Because the garment factory
owner in Chrompet asked us to

After that I married
your younger sister

Bring me the egg

Then sheer bravado
you went inside...jail

The hotelier in T. Nagar

And the chap who owns
a theater in Mount road

They repeatedly called
and gave me work

You know that shop
owner Kothal Rao...?

He gave me a job

It must have
been one:30 p.m.

I remember
that day so well

Sir, job done

-Where is he?
- In my car boot

Take him with you
to Pondicherry

Keep him with you
till the conference ends
Take him with you
to Pondicherry

Keep him with you
till the conference ends

Somehow manage tonight

Tomorrow I'll ensure
you get the money

Okay, sir

Has anyone
got any money?

No, bro, we are
dependent on you

What do we do for
our booze session tonight?

There should be
an ATM nearby

Someone will
withdraw cash every 10 minutes

-We can make a killing, bro
-What an idea...imbecile!

All of you...get down

I'll take the kids
to the hotel here

You go and get cash
from the ATM

Come, let's go

- I want poori
- Order what you want

Talk later on your phone
Get cash first

Let's go

- Come soon
- Okay, ma

Hello

Seriously, I'm not
working today

My sister's birthday

My father got his brokerage
commission only last week

You know
my father

He brought some kids
from the orphanage

We've been
having a great time

Watched a movie

They've just gone in
to the hotel nearby to eat

Okay, I'll talk
to you later

- Bro...!
- Get in

You should have seen
that poor fool's expression

He froze

No one's probably ever
pointed a knife at him there!

That's why

We are eating now

After we finish eating
we must pay that man

But if we dig a knife
into his neck...

...he'll be giving us
money instead!

This holds good for
people all around us

I thought
he was like that too

But he came back
next month

Who are you?

Don't stand
in front of the house

Get lost

Are you Vetri's man?

Did you come to see our boss?
What does Vetri want?

- No, I came to see you
- Me? Why?

You took 10,000 rupees
from me and I want it back

-What?
- Last month, Prince plaza

Dude, when we went to Pondicherry
last month, we swindled him, no?

Why didn't you
come sooner?

Why so late?

We spent your money

In that one month's gap

It was evident
he went to the gym

He must have
eaten eggs raw

And in the morning eaten
chickpea soaked overnight

Must have seen
a lot of stunt films

Yes! Because that is
how he stood

So? If you go to the gym and
work out...will you become brave?

A few pull ups can't
make him be like us

But he came again

He got the shivers
looking at us

He couldn't even
stand one blow

He is a real dummy

Dude! Look, he's back
Ask him what he wants

What's your problem?

What on earth
do you want?

You come here to
get beaten every month

You keep turning up since
we hit you in installments

We'll make a full
and final settlement

I need to settle this
with you, come down

Get lost...go and
do your job...go

These guys are
not really brave

Now it's your turn

Won't you
listen to me?

'My face must've had the same
expression that his had...'

'...when he was threatened
with the knife at the ATM'

'He must've thought
I chickened out...true'

'He took me
by surprise'

'In brawls, getting beaten up
is as common as lashing out blows'

'But it affected
my profession'

'All my henchmen went to fall
at the mercy of random feet!'

'Will they keep quiet?'

'Benny was beaten up
by an auto driver...'

'...Benny panicked'

''Benny is useless'' they said

'Those who heard this will
naturally think it as gospel'

'I was jobless for a year'

So can I carry bags of
dried shrimps in the harbor?

You should have shown
your beast side that day to him

He wouldn't be
alive today then

You've thought it all through

What will happen to your wife
and kid, you've planned it all

I'm out now, no?

You take care of
my younger sister

I'll kill him, Benny
Who cares about jail?

He walks on
the same road I do

If I make up my mind
he won't exist tomorrow

But mustn't kill as soon
as the thought strikes you

They'll make me count bars!

By ruining him
I shouldn't be ruined

I'll get a chance

I'll kill him
You'll be a witness

How dare you!

- Watch your tongue
- Father...help

- Maa, mother!
-Where're you running?

Ma, please stop
Everybody's looking

That's why I'm doing it

How dare you run?

- Father...!
- I'll kill you

- Ma, they're hitting her nonstop
- Hitting whom?

Leena

Let them, her tongue
wags too much it seems

They just moved to this area
And I'm already hearing stuff

Let her get
a few blows

Ma, go ask them why

We can't do all that
It'll seem strange

- If you don't go, I will
- This boy...!

Ma...why?
Don't hit me

Sister...don't hit
a girl like this

Why are you
keeping quiet?

Born under the zodiac Gemini
she's destined to be hit today

So let her face it

Why are you
hitting her like this?

I picked out
such a nice name for her

By the grace of God
I called her Meena

But she calls
herself Leena

I ignored it thinking she wanted
her name to sound stylish

Now she says she wants
to become a Christian

If her conservative grandparents
who are devout Hindus hear this...

...how will they react?

Won't they say she converted
due to lack of money at home?

I'll break your leg

Hey Leena!

Why your mother
attacking you?

I think no knowledge
my mother

Are you saying
I have no brains?

Let her go

- lsn't that the guy?
-Yes, that's him

See how carefree he is!

How much money
he made us waste

Humiliating!

Going to court,
cops, media, lawyers

How much money
we'd have spent!

How will he understand
the value of money?

He'll keep driving
an auto till he dies

I wanted to
tell you this

There's an accused named
Benny in Pallavaram

Rowdy

He bloodies his hands and dabbles
in all illegal matters for many of us

He and this auto driver
are at loggerheads

Benny wants to
kill this auto driver

He came to our club to
ask Kothal Rao for money

I was also there

Kothal Rao didn't give him money
He also left the place

Rao is our good friend, no?

So I told him, 'don't give money,
just agree to handle his case'

'Let him kill
whomever he wants'

I've planted
this idea in Rao's head

Why are you silent?

- What do you want me to say?
- Not you, granny

Are you irritated?

Your mother took me
aside and said...

...'My son is good
and intelligent'

'He reads
4 papers a day'

'It's sad that we weren't
able to make him study'

And said 'You are
a very lucky girl'

Your sister's calling me
sister-in-law so fondly

What did you
tell them?

I didn't tell them
that you loved me

I told them
I loved you

- Okay...so why do you love me?
- Because you are truly beautiful

But won't I
expect the same?

As if you're handsome!

I like academics
So do you, no?

My friend's here
Slow the auto down

- Hi, Vijaylakshmi
- Hi Leena

- How are you?
- I'm fine! How are you?

I'm fine!
Okay, bye

-Take care
- Bye! Take care

- Have a nice day
- Have a nice day!

Here...stop

-Your auto fare
- No need

Love and auto fare
are not connected

Leena...look
Your guy is over there

Go...!

Go...!

She's so cool
with her coolers!

Let's go

''Mom, wake me up tomorrow
9:00 in the morning''

''I need to buy lip gloss
I must go shopping''

''Mum, wake me up at
9'0 clock in the morning''

''I need to get lip gloss
I must go shopping''

''At 10 my friend comes home
At 10:30 share auto to roam''

''Give me change, 1300
Can't eat idli or bread''

''Don't tell dad, he'll levitate!
I may get back home late''

''Wherever we rejoice
we only see boysss!''

''Mummy, wake me up at
9'0 clock sharp in the morning''

''I've run out of lip gloss
I must go shopping''

''We love to shop
till dead we drop''

''Junk shop
Buy nonstop''

''Over the top
at the gift shop''

''We can keep shopping
Morning till evening''

''Ask your boyfriend to tag along
To carry bags we need a man strong''

''Please ask your boyfriend to come
To carry our bags, that'd be awesome''

''Shopping mall is here
Why is your face dull, dear?''

''Let's go to the car park
Touch up, wipe the tired mark''

''Look at that chick so stylish
showing off her English''

''Places we go of our choice
we only see b...bo...boysss!''

''Confess I'm a shopaholic
All baubles I like to pick''

''I enjoy this shop-a-thon
Maybe this is why I'm born''

''I go over board
on stuff long stored''

''Mostly junk, nothing worthwhile
But gives me the zillion $ smile''

''- Hey! High heels...wow
- Don't, your shape'll become awwww!''

''-Why not a tattoo on your hip?
- Slippers at me, my dad will whip!''

''- Pencil fit jeans for Rs 6000...OH!
- To click a snap in it, no dough''

''Cappuccino, Chocolate
or lrish coffee''

''Bearer, take the order
Anything 1/4''

''Get up, brush teeth, shower,
wipe bike, run helter-skelter''

''Move heaven and earth's end
to land up here as boyfriend''

''These girIswill flit, flirt, sway
dilly dally, delay and sashay''

''They will take their own sweet time
Are we watchmen, not worth a dime?''

Weird, wasted, worthless shopping!

''Love to shop
till we drop''

''Shopping spree
Casual and carefree''

''Hours on end
No bell, no bend''

''Our hearts on a spin
even if wallets get thin''

''Dad, wake me up at
10'0 clock in the morning''

''I need to buy hair spray
I must go shopping''

''Dad, wake me up
at 10 in the morning''

''I need to get hair spray
I must go shopping''

''At 10:30 my friend comes home
At 11 share auto to roam''

''Give me change, only 500
Can't eat cereal or bread''

''Don't tell mom, she'll detonate!
I may be home late''

''Wherever...shop or street-wise
we only see boys...boysss!''

''Confess I'm a shopaholic
That's what makes me tick''

''It's a new shop-saga
where we go gaga''

''We get a heart attack
if we don't buy knick knack''

''Just an impulse it kindles
till bank balance dwindles!''

- Who is that?
-A girl I know

- That means?
- I know her

I understood that

'How do you know her'
is my question!

You mustn't keep secrets
from the girl you love

As if you love me!

I don't...but you do, no?
So you can confide in me

I had never fought
with anyone before that

That was the first time

'They snatched
Rs 10,000 from me'

'It was my sister's birthday'

'We had taken 7 - 8 kids
from the orphanage for a treat'

Tell those kids to get up

Someone went to get
money from the ATM

We'll seat them
when that guy returns

Ask the kids
to wait out

Peak hours

So many are waiting

Let's go

We'll come back

Come, my dear

We'll be back

Thanks a lot

'In the afternoon, we took them
to Padapai, Kovalam and...'

'...then dropped them back
at the orphanage'

'They were very happy'

'After we came home, my parents
didn't ask me even a single question'

'Because they realized
that whoever in my shoes...'

'...would have reacted
the same way I did'

'But I couldn't just let it go
Because it wasn't just money'

'It was my father's hard work'

'How could someone by
brandishing a knife...'

'...just take it all away?'

'I decided right then to get
my money back somehow'

'I complained
to the police'

'They told me to
be glad I was alive'

'Even after 15 days, they still
couldn't retrieve my money'

'How could I just let it go?
Today...it is money'

'Tomorrow, someone might
steal my auto in the same way'

'I'd have to walk down that
same road with my family again'

'This truth disturbed me'

'To come out of this crisis I decided
I had to get that money back'

'I found the guy with the knife
And then I found his boss, Benny'

'This led me to many dealers
who made this business tick'

'Their words and their
code of (mis)conduct'

'If I had to cope
with all this...'

'...I needed the same mental
strength in my body too'

'I went to the gym
I put on weight'

'I learned to fight,
built myself up'

'Ate a lot, got beaten up, beat them
Finally got my 10,000 rupees back'

'And when I gave
the money to my father...'

'...I saw happiness on his face'

'And I realized I could
achieve anything I wanted'

'I gained self confidence
only that day!'

All I asked you
was about that girl

You are giving me
some long story

Wait...listen to it fully
That's when you'll understand

'one day, I was waiting to
see you and you didn't come'

Give me the auto key
I'm late for work

It's peak hour
Crowd will disperse

Bro, one tea

This area won't work
I looked all around

There are too many small roads

If he runs into one,
it'll be difficult

We won't be able
to do anything

We'll go to that bridge
I suggested earlier

We'll get rid of him there
He won't be able to escape

Apparently he's a bold guy

That's why Saet asked us to
kill him when he's with his family

He didn't agree
to any bribe

Wouldn't take money, car or
doctor seat for his daughter

He speaks like some big saint
We've planned it for 6 months

It's a sure shot

Day after morning at exactly
9:15 we'll finish him off

You come home at night
Payment will be prompt

Are the kids fine?
Going to school?

Give my regards
to your wife

How can that be?

No one will stand in the middle of
a busy road...and discuss where to murder

I heard it properly, pa
He even said 9:15 a.m

Venue is below the bridge

It's not like the place he got
mugged was empty either

There were 100 shops
It was broad daylight

If something had happened to him
that day, could we have taken it?

Poor guy...I wonder who's kid
they are planning to kill

Whoever it is, will have
a mother like me, no?

She'll be hurt most

'What happened to me will be
happening to someone else now'

'But in a worse way
What can I do about it?'

Did your father
send any message?

No, I wanted
to talk to you

Tomorrow at 9:15 a.m
they're murdering a man, sir

-Who?
- I don't know

- Kill whom?
- I don't know

But they've planned it
for 6 months

As if it's done impulsively?

That's how all murders
happen...preplanned!

You've learned about it
earlier, that's all

-We shouldn't let it happen, sir
- How can we prevent it?

You said I should not have beaten up
Benny but come to you instead

- That was for you
- Treat this the same way

Look here, son

There are million formalities
when a real murder is committed

My higher officials
will torture me

You are saying
it's going to happen!

That's it
I can't work here

Then leave it

Why are you
in this job?

Get out of here
Drive your auto

'Always, when it happens
to you, it's an ordeal'

'When it happens to someone
else, it's entertainment'

'No one really cared about it
And there was a valid reason'

'And that was fair enough in a way
But I wasn't able to do the same'

'It kept haunting me,
over and over again'

'I saw him
the next day again'

'I was pretty sure they'd kill him
the next day underthe bridge'

'But no one knew this'

'Why...even the victim didn't know
I was the only one who knew'

'How could I sleep?
I stayed up all night'

'I only had 2 choices
one was to ignore it'

'And no one will question me
But I couldn't do that'

'At day break, I stood on
the Velachery over bridge'

one tea

Can you please
mend my slipper?

- I can't do it now
- Little urgent, office hour, man

What can I do?

I'll give you ten bucks
Please oblige

- I can't...go away
- How helpful is that!

- Tell me
- Has he started?

He'll be there in
1/2 hour, be ready

Don't switch off your phone
Don't attend any other calls

You are smoking in this place
with so many people here

What 'sorry'?
Don't you have any sense?!

I stubbed it, okay?

But why did you puff away
in the first place here?

I stubbed it, no?
Watch your tongue

Measure your words.

Smoke suffocates me
and I shouldn't ask, huh?

Why are you
coming to his rescue?

You go and do
your cobbler's job

You'll hit a man in public and
expect me to keep mending shoes?!

- Okay, then ask me why
- That's what I did just now

- Daddy...what happened?
- No idea

I'll call the police

If I hadn't picked up a fight,
they'd have killed you within minutes

How long has he been
working for you?

5 months

They've been planning to
kill you for the past 6 months

I don't know
the reasons

You figure it out yourself

You call the police!

'There are 2 financiers in Sowcarpet
Gangariya and his son Kolicha'

'They resent paying income tax'

'They bribed all the Income tax officers'

'But they struck a blank wall
against Moideen sir!'

'So in the end,
they decided to kill him'

'I put a spanner in their works
most unexpectedly'

'My father's favorite words...'

''Helping an anonymous person
and being helped by a random stranger...''

''...are the most joyous
deeds in this world''

'I experienced
that joy for the first time'

'How do they have the heart
to kill such human beings!?'

Okay...so the girl in that car
came and spoke to you

In the jeans and the t-shirt
Am I right?

Yes

Why did you ask me to
not take it the wrong way?

And gave me
such a build-up?!

You already think of me
as illiterate and unrefined

If you knew I was into fighting, you'd get
scared and tag me as a rowdy, no?

Me? Scared?
Of you and fighting?

Yes

Can I tell you something?

Go ahead

Please don't tell anyone else
the way you spun this tale to me

You don't know how to lie

Your face gives it all away

It seems he stood
in a tea shop to see me...!

There he overheard some yellow shirt
stranger say he was killing someone

He got all flustered and told
the cops, his family, friends and...

...finally he himself
rescued the man it seems!

Does this sound
like a believable story?

Do you even
know how to lie?

No

Look into my eyes
Can you believe I've lied?

But I have

Once, all of us from English class
bunked and went to the beach

Me, Sivakami, Koperundevi
Shanmugasundari...we had fun

Entire beach
was looking at us

We ate corn on the cob,
dried our dupattas...

...and got ready to leave

And that's when I saw
my aunt, uncle and cousins

They yelled out
my name loudly

What would you've done
if you were in my shoes?

- Tell me
- I don't know

You'd have turned
around immediately

...or scooted from that place

But I walked away casually

I got into the bus
and went home

When I reached home,
they'd have told her, no?

My mother asked me
''where did you go''?

I said I went
for my English class

She looked at my feet

It seems I'd have
sand on my feet

I was too smart
for that, right

My father asked me
to swear on his life

I hesitated for a minute
I looked at my father

And then at his head

First my father
Then his head

I smacked him
in the middle of his head

I stuck to my story

Then my mother said ''your sister
will be dying to blame my daughter''

''As if I've brought
her up so badly!''

That is how
you should lie!

You are hopeless at it

If all that you said were true...

...would you be able to roam
freely behind a girl?

- They'd have killed you
-Yes...yes

''Know thyself''

''Trust in your talent''

''Believe in your best''

''Man's deeds burn up in a blaze
His guises catch up in many ways''

''Man's actions in flames burn down
His guises come a full circle around''

''Unseen evil presence
hounds us with a vengeance''

''Hunts us night and day
Makes a dramatic display''

''Times are tough
to trust our own self''

''Treachery and deceit
exist without limit''

''Rely on your
resourcefulness''

''Have faith
in your prowess''

''Don't doubt
what you can do''

''If push comes to shove
your best bet is...you!''

If we hire a man
to kill Shakthi...

...we'll get caught
when he gets caught

Only one way out

There was a news report
about 2 murders in Kanyakumari

The police are hunting for
Gunaseelan for past one month

He is hiding safely
in an apartment

He parties at night
Sleeps during the day

I've been visiting
this apartment

There's a gun hidden
behind the God's picture

For one week
In the same spot

We can flick it

We can shoot Shakthi in his auto
within 10 feet distance

We can return
the gun back

What do you say?

Someone was hassling
one of our partners

I tried talking to him-

Come in

Greetings, bro

-Why didn't you come yesterday?
- I was tied up, bro

My friend Karuvelamuthu
He is into marketing

Didn't Durai tell you?

They get loans from banks
passing fake jewelry as genuine

Gunaseelan bro
Continue your story

What?

He was telling us
about his escapades

- Forget that
- Tell me, bro

Those days if we needed to hit
someone, we'll take him to the seaside

We were 3 of us
We beat him to a pulp

He was lying
horizontal on the waters...

with imprints of our thrashing,
shirt torn and soaked in blood

We were drinking
tender coconut water

I looked down
He was staring at me

I asked
if he wanted a drink

He too nodded his head

I gave him
tender coconut water

He raised
his head and drank

The tender coconut water
instead of going down his throat...

somehow hit my eye

I slashed him, one neat
blow with my sickle

Right into his Adam's apple

His head severed
from the body

From then on I got
a tremendous fan following

Son of a wretch!
Play that CD

''Golden moon my dearest
My dream nestled in your crescent''

Pour him
a few more pegs

Wash it down

''Thunder applauds my song
No picket fence to hinder along''

''Wild tempestuous jungle
Sing while into me you snuggle''

''Looking at you and at the ground
glistens like gold, shimmering around''

''My dear birdie, my mate
Cuddle up to me, satiate''

Chay! Can't find the gun

Did you check properly?

- I did
- Search in that room

''Play the bull taming sport
With an apt ally wrestle and cavort''

''Today is unlike yesterday
Tomorrow is not like today''

''Today is unlike yesterday
Tomorrow is not like today''

Only you go
I'll stay here

Let one of them
wake up in the morning

Then I'll leave

If he asks for me, tell him
I got an urgent call, I left

Vanu, don't hold
the gun in your hand

Put it in our
hideout and go home

That auto guy should
NOT be alive tomorrow

'The number you are calling
is switched off now'

Karuvelamuthu

Hey! Karuvelam

Why are you
sitting here like this?

Karuvelamuthu
What happened?

Hey! Who hit you?

Say something

I'll know only
if you tell me

Where have you
hidden the gun?

Tell me...where
the gun is

Gun?
Which gun?

I don't even know what
you are talking about

You don't know?

Oh god...!

Don't die
Give it back to me

I don't understand
Why would I take a gun?

You won't tell?

Oh god...!

We didn't take the gun
He got a call, he rushed

I was drunk, I couldn't go
So I stayed behind

Hello...tell me?

Nachiappan, what happened?

These 2 boys don't
seem to have taken it

Call that George boy

He's been asking for money
for the last couple of days

I refused

So maybe he took
my gun to sell it

Okay, Gunaseela

I'll catch hold of George

I'll tap his head hard enough
for him to cough up the gun

Don't be tensed
I'll deal with it

Hey! Let him go

Where did you
get the gun from?

It's been here all along?
That means you took it

Listen, this is
Gunaseelan's gun

I'll talk to him about it
You leave now

I'm really mad
with you right now

Shakthi

- Tell me
- Why do you do this to me?

What?

I couldn't sleep all night
I kept tossing and turning

I woke up
at 5:00 a.m

Even though my mother
tried to wake me up...

...I got out of
bed only at 8:30

I felt like talking to you
But I controlled my urge

My hands were itching
to dial your number

I thought
I shouldn't

But I did...okay
Where are you now?

At home

I feel like seeing you

- Come quickly
- Okay, okay

Keep that aside

Stand here

Why do you need
my blessing now?

Drive carefully

Okay, you spoke
your heart out

You called me

And I'm here now

Come
Sit down

Why are you
torturing me like this?

I haven't been this way
before, you know?

This is not me at all

I was thinking 'oh this
boy is crazy about me'

'But if I finish studying,
they'll find me a groom...'

'...with an office job and
get me married to him'

Then what'll happen to you?
I can't even sleep properly

I think you've fallen
too much for me

You are flying
high in the sky

If you fall down
you are finished

I'm only flying, no?
I don't mind falling

It's easy to say all this

But very difficult

You won't be able to
handle it, when it happens

I don't think you've
understood love completely

You know my friend Sivakami?

Her cousin loved a girl
For 4 years, sincerely

Then she got married to
someone her parents chose

You know that tall building
next to LlC in Mount road?

This boy jumped off that building

And then my friend Devi...a boy
was in love with her for 3 years

She loved him too

But she dumped him
because he was an alcoholic

So he jumped in front of
an electric train in Chrompet

You understand why
I'm saying all this, right?

I know

You slowly try to get me
out of your system

I'll talk to you and we'll stay
the same way we are now

Doesn't that auto
look familiar?

Yes

There's a girl
sitting inside

That must be Leena
Hold this, I'll be back

Hey Leena
Come here

Gosh! My mother

You stay right here
Don't get out

What are you
doing here?

They told me they saw you
at the beach and park

I turned a deaf ear

I believe them now

Mother, don't beat
around the bush

Ask me straight
to my face

He's the one
who's in love with me

I'm not in love with him

Why?

-What do you mean 'why'?
-Why don't you love him?

I can't get married
to an auto driver

Though your father
works in a Govt. office...

...the money lender grabs
a huge chunk monthly

He is sozzled
every evening

This boy doesn't have
any bad habits

He even owns an auto
What else do you want?

Mother, don't brainwash me

I'll tell my father
you said this about him

So you'll never fall
in love with him?

Yes

So you shouldn't one day
placate and plead with me...

...to support your love and
break the news to your father

- I won't do that
- Sure?

Confirmed

-What did your mother say?
-What did she say?

She yelled at me

She doesn't like me
talking to you as it is

And now
she saw us together

She said she'll break
my legs when I get home

It's all because of you

- Sorry, Leena
-What do you mean 'sorry'?

Don't ever look
at me again...go

''Am I a baby to get terrified
if you widen your eyes wild?''

''Are you a parakeet to repeatedly
spear me with words heatedly?''

''You try to intimidate me
with your tricks willy nilly''

''You try to brainwash me
with your words full of honey''

''I'll have the last laugh
after I make you my equal haIf!''

''Am I a child to get petrified
if you roll your eyes owl-wide?''

''Are you a parrot to constantly
dissect me with words so deadly?''

''I'll ease your pain with kisses 1000
I'll show your life in a nano second''

''With French kisses I'll savor your flavor
With spiky lashes I'll graze you all over''

''I'll make you mine in a split second
I'll caress the fiery rain and sun frosted''

''Tresses tremble wet
Moustache in beads of sweat''

''Am I a kid to feel threatened
if saucer-eyed you beckoned?''

''Are you a parakeet to frequently
chop me with words eloquently?''

''Both seas merge as one to swell
Nailsscrawl their address as well''

''Closed eyes flare
with an intense stare''

''In my angel's breath is heard
gasp and groan love-spurred''

''Moon yonder, I'm sea here
I try to gush to you my dear''

''When clothes (st)rip my soul
I slowly lose control''

''Eyelids relax
Lips drawtracks''

''Am I a child to get mortified
if you rotate your eyes nationwide?''

''Are you a parrot to recklessly
torpedo me with words rapidly?''

Hey Vanu!
What are you doing here?

He went inside

Dude, this is
Praveen's area

Housing board

If he is inside,
he has to come out this way

There's no other way
Everyone knows us here

We must be discreet

Keep the gun
inside at all times

-What is it, son?
- I'm visiting my friend

'That day I testified for
income tax officer Moideen'

'And against the financiers
Gangariya and Kolicha in court'

'Afterthat, I've been
in various little fights'

'Supporting an old banana vendor,
an elderly teacher, mechanic'

'The local police station even
has a few cases against me'

'How could I act helpless
when I really wasn't?'

'But in that situation,
I was really happy'

'I didn't think
this would happen then'

'My neighbor, the guy who smiled
at me everyday and waved at me...'

'...Vanaraj was now suddenly
brandishing a gun at me'

'I don't have any
problem with him'

'No fights, no enmity'

'I've never crossed
swords with him'

'Why does he want to kill me?'

'We'll definitely kill Shakthi today
His death is his own fault, not ours'

'A month earlier'

His name is
Dakshinamurthy

He started
a company with his friend

Middle class
Started earning well

He has a 4 year old kid

Tablets, injections, allopathic
medicine won't work on that kid

He's allergic to them
His body will break into boils

That's why Dakshinamurthy
loves his son excessively

Next month he's getting
a big sum of money

Nearly 90 lakhs

We will kidnap his 4 year old
Hold him hostage for one day

And we'll send only one
message to Dakshinamurthy

...demanding 60 lakhs
if he wants his son back alive

Everyone will be terrified
that the boy will die

And Dakshinamurthy
will concede to our demands

Each of us gets 20 lakhs
and we'll all be settled

- Won't he go to the police?
- He's not that kind

How is he getting
this money?

He and his friend
sweated it out for 10 years

But he came out over a small dispute
This amount is his compensation

Such an emotional type
Middle class mind

His kid is more important
to him than money

No need, dude

We see stuff like this
in the news all the time

If we get caught
we are done for!

We only see stuff about
people who got caught

Are only so many crimes
happening in the city?

Do you know how many unsolved crime
reports are piled up in a police station?

So many crimes are committed
without complaints being registered

Where are all
those offenders?

Going about their lives around us

It's only bad
when it's purely physical

When it's well planned out,
it's called 'being a genius'

We'll doubt ourselves
Ask 1000s of questions

But after it's done
we shouldn't be traced

- That's enough
-What do you want us to do?

This is Dakshinamurthy's house
That's his kid

We'll kidnap him
25 days from today

Where will we
hide him for a whole day?

Avenue no one
should know

Somewhere not
easily traceable

What's the best hide-out?

What about
General Hospital?

It'll always be crowded

No one will care even
if he screams and yells

Or even if he dies
they'll ignore and walk away

If we give him a little tablet
right here, that's enough

He'll swell up
and pass out

If someone's crying next to him
ourjob will be even easier

That's super

Only 20 days left
2 questions

Where is the venue for
'Operation kidnap'?

How do we get
the ransom money?

Definitely when
his mother is with him

Only then it'll have
the desired deep impact

And Dakshinamurthy will react

Looks like he is dead

It's a police case

Hospital is close by
Let's lift him up

Open the door

Only one day left

- Let's not take this boy
-Why this change of plan?

If we take him, we might get
caught by the auto driver

Simple...we won't kidnap
when he's in the auto

He is my neighbor
I know how his mind works

When Rs 10,000 got stolen from him
he found the guy and beat him up

Someone was planning
to kill someone else

He overheard this in
a tea shop and stopped it!

Dakshinamurthy
has saved his life

Do you think he'll keep quiet
if anything happens to that kid?

You were the one
who dangled a carrot?!

That's why
I resigned my job

I'm getting married
I've even paid advance

Our lives will be ruined,
if we get caught, is that okay?

Then let's pick
someone else

We can't just
kidnap anybody

Dakshinamurthy was ideal because
we knew everything about him

How many
can we find like him?

It's easier to murder
Kidnapping is more risky

Then let's kill

That auto guy

Then we'll take the kid

How will he stop us then?
He can't...right?

Dude, you said
these famous words!

Little courage
Lots of thought put into it

We should suspect ourselves
Even ask million questions

But once we kill, shouldn't
leave even one clue behind

Yes, let's do it
Chance of a lifetime

It's 15 lakhs each

- Let's not change our mind
- Okay, let's do it

Where is he?

Near the housing board
Somewhere here

-Who are you?
- I came to see a friend

Go...don't hover around

That's him!

Hello boss!
Aren't you Sukumar?

Siva told me
you'd come

His mother isn't well
He's taken her to the clinic

He asked you to wait upstairs

He has given me
the house key

Aren't you
the electrician?

-Yes
- Come and sit inside

Sit down

Switch on the fan

- Hey?
-What?

I locked him inside

-Who's house?
- Praveen's house

- His mother...?
- They've gone to Thirupathi

- They'll be back only after 2 days
- Holy crap! His chapter is closed

'They are 6 of them'

'They are intent
on killing me'

'They are armed'

'I can outwit them'

'I'm not too sure about
handling their guns...'

'I shouldn't panic now
I'll lose my strength if I do'

'I can shout'

'But my screams may
swing in theirfavor or mine'

'Let me think calmly'

'I should know not only
their words and actions'

'...but their thoughts too'

Where is Subramani?

He's gone to get the car
to transport the corpse

Okay...call him
Ask him to come here

Hey, we have to wait till the area
quietens and everyone is asleep

That's true but we must do it
when people are still around

Only then
we have our alibi

If we are the only people around
we will arouse suspicion

When it is dead calm
a small noise from us...

...we'll be caught
in our own trap

Before this shop
closes down...

...before the lights are down
we should kill him

Call Subramani

''In the coconut grove with swaying trees
I plucked the coconut with elan and ease''

''We seek Your graciousness
our dear compassionate Goddess''

''Accept ourtender coconut offering
Listen to our woes; our pitiful suffering''

''Grace us Goddess
with Your gracious blessing''

Leena...?
Shakthi speaking

I've told you repeatedly
not to call me late at night

This is why I didn't want
to take a phone from you

Cut the call

I am in a mess
Don't hang up

Will you disconnect
by yourself or shall I?

Just listen to me
5 minutes please

Okay

My mother will be waiting up
for me without eating her dinner

She shouldn't know about
me being in this tight spot

Just tell her I won't
be back tonight

I am working late

What's your tight spot?

You won't understand if I tell you

Will you tell me or not?

There are 4 to 5 people
waiting to kill me

Why do you do this?

When I yelled
at you tonight...

...I knew you'd come up
with some sob story like this

You must have got drunk

Nothing of that sort

Not only getting drunk...

...I'll even tell you
where and with whom!

Some terrace of
a friend's house

5 or 6 of you

2 or 3 bottles must
be empty by now

Chap next to you must be smelling
your head trying his best not to puke!

Correct?

Inform my mother

- I can't do that
-Why?

lsn't it Friday?

We are in Velachery
My grandma's house

Okay, fine

- Hey...
- Hmmmm...

Sweet dreams!

''Mariamma of Kannapuram, dear Goddess
Bless us with your divine auspiciousness''

''Mariamma of Kannapuram, dear Goddess
Bless us with your divine auspiciousness''

What happened?
There's no sound

His sound has
been silenced

Dayala, don't go...wait

Only your corpse
will leave this place!

- Subramani...?
- Tell me

Switch on all the lights

Why are you
trying to kill me?

Tell me

Let me tell you

Satisfied? Didn't you say
you intended killing him?

You will die
That's why I said so

Then we'll kidnap
Dakshinamurthy's son

You won't come
You won't be able to

Your family will be
hunting for you

I'll also join them
in their search

We've already
killed one fellow

I'm sure you know

Just hit him

I am dying of pain

Save me

Dayala, shut up

If you shout
we'll get caught

Save me

It is risky
Let's take him out

'They want to kill me'

'But they don't
want to be caught'

'They can't do that'

'I feel I can handle
their guns now'

- What happened?
- Electric shock, bro

Why couldn't you
get an electrician?

Why do you
never listen?

What's happening here?

Friends are just
having a good time

What a stupid answer
Open the doorfirst

What now?

You got drunk
whole night?!

Praveen, open the door

I'll complain
to the association

Buffalo! You have
no sense? Get lost

Your mother asked you to eat
at home, why didn't you come?

I had work, sis-in-law!

What work?! Your brother
is yelling at me...let's eat

You go...I'll be
right behind

Lets wait for him to
reach the main road

You planned well

But you can't kidnap
Dakshinamurthy's son here after

Vanu, if we let him go
we'll be in a royal soup!

Look at these rowdies
and their hooliganism

He's holding
a gun in his hands

Look! The gun is right here
Get down from the car

You mongrel! Are you
trying to trick me?!

I knew you were up
to some mischief

one more blow

Hit him

What did you
do to Nachiappan?

Did you kill him?

Answer me

Did you finish him off?

Answer me

'You are listening to
Suryan FM 93.5'

Drunk through
every pore

''Man is a beast, roams in the street
How best to tame him to retreat?''

''He's a parasite in this fast world
With what can he be eradicated?''

''Weapon is a shield to pause
Situations merely a cause''

''Know your enemy's powers
in the battle's headquarters''

''Trust your instincts''

''Believe in your best''

Yov! Stop

Don't run
I'll shoot you

Come back
and sit there

You know that auto driver
who testified in our case

He has fallen unconscious
in Velachery road

I saw someone
dragging him away

He might kill him
Is he our man?

No, sir

Auto driver got
caught (whisper)

Then I'll take care

Yes, sir

You haven't visited
our shop, do come, sir

I was out of town
regarding a case

Koli talks often about you
Bring your wife to the shop

We've got fresh stock
ofjewelry from Bombay

Yes, sir

He is not
one of our boys

But he should die, sir

Then I'll take care

I'm glad, sir

Get up

Come here

Don't finish him off here

Take him away
from the city

His body shouldn't
be seen in this area

Okay, sir

''Rely on your resources''

''Have faith in your impulses''

''Trust in yourtalent''

''Believe in your best''

Sister, don't worry
Your son will be fine

He'll stand in front of you
tomorrow morning for sure

If you ask me
she is to blame

She encouraged him to poke
his nose in other peoples' affairs

This is the consequence
you pay for interference!

Get down

Move...go inside

I just know my son
is in some danger

I don't know what

He hasn't
even called me

Maybe he hid it from me
thinking I will panic

Please somehow bring him
back to me safe and sound

I've always warned him not
to interfere in others' business

Helping others is as much
an addiction as smoking or drinking

It is difficult to
come out of that

I'll tell my boss

'Forget yourself but never
forget your mother dear'

Benny, if we leave him now
someone else will kill him

Then you'll lose that
pleasure for all times!

Let's kill him
right now

Then they'll put me behind bars
for 7 years like they did to you

I know how
to handle him

You watch over him

I'll see Kothal Rao
and be back

Year ending
I can't withdraw cash

You keep showing up
like a bad penny!

I'll inform my lawyer
He'll take care

You 'take care' of him

I'll be in for 4 months

My family needs
to be taken care of

If you can
spare something...

Wait at the basement car park
I'll send Murugesan

Velachery
Velachery

Starting now

Come soon
Velachery

Why are you
sitting so quietly?

Should a girl always be yelling?
Can't she be quiet sometime?

What did I say that
you're getting so hyper?!

Have you fought
with that chap?

Why do you ask?

He'll keep hounding you
every 10 minutes

'The number you are calling
is switched off now'

Did he come?
Did you see him?

I did

- What did he say?
- He waved to me

All you both can
do is wave hands

Ma, why did
you say that?

Nothing

Something's fishy
Tell me, maaaa!

Our previous landlady
Rani's brother likes you it seems

He wrote some exam
and got a Govt. job

They know you

They came and
asked your father

You will get a Govt. employee
husband just like you wanted

Happy?

Ma, I'm sure you are
pulling a fast one!

Tell me, ma

No, I am serious, dear

Both you and my father
are uneducated

That's why you stopped me from
going to school as soon as I fell sick

If I also marry an illiterate...

...my kids will share
the same fate as me

That's why I wanted a husband
who is an office employee

Shakthi truly
loves me, ma

He's a good chap

We won't be like you both
We'll be happy together, ma

Give me your consent, ma

Leena fall in love!

Why give him this much importance?
You could've killed him in any road?

Only a fight can be covered up
in a local police station

A murder will go up to
the commissioner's office

Then the station
will be targeted

That's why immediately after a murder
the police station should be informed

If we don't disturb the police
they won't disturb us

Benny toes the line to perfection

-Yes, Benny?
-What's that auto driver up to?

Dumb ass, shut himself inside
the shop out of sheer fright!

Bring him to
Vellaikal malai

Let go of me
Bro...Benny...bro

I didn't say a word
about you, Benny

Jain group asked me
if I'll kill some girl

I agreed

I didn't do anything else

Other than leaving you in the lurch
I haven't maligned you to anyone

Why would I interfere
with your job, bro?

Listen to me, bro

Aren't you
coming home?

I've given
Rs 20,000 to Kumar

Use it for your
expenses till I'm out

Go to your mother's house
Don't visit me in the jail

Whatever the message
tell your brother

He'll let me know
Take care of our child

Let me say bye

Don't trouble your mom

Be good, okay?

Dad will be
back soon

Okay

Body can't even be identified
Place the head near the body

Hey...open the door

Why has he locked
himself inside?

Open the door

Break open the door

Move aside

Come out

Police

Catch him

Grab him
Get on to the bike

Don't let go of him

Go...check

Let's go

Maha bro,
he is here

Come here

Where did you think
you could escape?

At the worst
to your house?

We'll even come into
your house and kill you

You should've thought
of all this earlier

Get him on
to the bike

- Benny, job over?
- No sir, in a while

When are you
giving yourself up?

Give me a day, sir
I'll surrender day after

I've spoken
to the Inspector

He has asked you to
come to a hotel in Alwarpet

- Okay, sir
- No problem

But the paper won't report
you surrendered in the court

News will appear
only 2 days later

That they caught you
Are you okay with it?

If you say so, sir

He has asked you to
bury the body there

They'll themselves
dig it out, it seems

Good evening, bro

Don't dig too deep

Only then the dog
will be able to find it

He gave us a run
for our money

Mahesh, tie his hands

- Scared?
-Why should I be?

Hey! Bring the rope

If you shut yourself
in that shop...?

It's such a battered shop
with an old wooden door

one blow will bring it down
Are you that brainless?

Did you think you could
escape that way?

Hey...hey...hey!

There's no escape out
Let him be inside

'Nothing untoward
should happen to me'

'If I die, even my mother will think
helping people only ends in death!'

'I shouldn't set
such a wrong example'

'But I'm too tired to
hit back at Benny'

'Benny should never
step into my life'

'I must first come out
of this exhaustion'

'What should I do?'

'What do I do?'

'My body needs rest'

Open the door

Hey! Open the door

Hey! Come out

He jumped off the bike and
ran like a marathon sprinter

If it wasn't a cul de sac
you'd have escaped, right?

Hey! Come here

You can see the sign of
death on his face, bro

What do you think
you are doing?

Hey...!

Oye! Go down and
dig his grave

Aim at his head

Attack him

You are dead meat
Don't try yourtricks with us

Do you think you can
get away scot-free?

Benny...Benny

Are you scared?

Don't be...you won't die

You'll be at its jaws and return

Come and see me
I'll get you an auto for rent

You can drive it and
earn a decent living

Can I use your
mobile, please?

Hello, is it 108?

Someone is almost dying
in Vellaikal malai

If you come immediately
you can save him

I got you the same number

Drink this, I'll go and
get your medicine

I'll also go with her

Do you know, my dear,
he left home 2 days back?

For 2 days and a night
they've chased him to kill him

His love for eating fruits gave him
enough strength to combat them

That's why
he is alive today

He escaped from
one chap and fainted

It seems when he opened
his eyes another chap hit him

lmagine my brother's plight
He escaped from him also

Maybe it's because
you also prayed for him

I'll be back in a bit

Your mother and sister
believed all your tales?!

What happened to you?

You drank and then turned
your auto upside down?

Your family
loves you so much

And here you are
obsessing about a girl

lmagine if you had
fallen for the wrong girl!

You had a narrow escape
because it is me

This bad habit of mine
from childhood...!

I can't bear to see anyone
suffering because of me

I thought about it really hard

If you are in such a state
just because I yelled at you...

...what will you do
if I'm not in your life?

So I decided to
reciprocate your love

Hey! I love you

I only said
I'll love you

I haven't agreed
to get married

We can date each other

If I think you are the right partner
for me, then we can get married

Otherwise I'll ditch you

Okay

Hug me

Hug means wrap
your hands around me

Hello?
Yes, sir

No, sir

My name is Shakthi, sir

Now...I'm driving an auto
at the moment, sir

I don't know
anyone like that, sir

I've never seen him, sir

I'll come and see you, sir

Who was that
on the phone?

Tell me

Royapettah
Police inspector

Why is he calling you?

An engineering college student
is hell bent on killing me

They have detained him
in the police station

I've told you
I love you, right?

Then why resort to this?!

''Know thyself''

''Trust your instincts''

''Believe you are the best''

''If push comes to shove
your best bet is...you!''
