'The headlines'

'The mysterious murders that took
place in past few days in Nilagiri...'

'had created a panic
all over that place'

'Due to similarities
in these murders...'

'the police doubt that this could
be done by a mystery serial killer'

'Since one of the murder victims was
Chinna, son of Forest Minister Mariappan'

'it had further spread fear
and panic amongst people'

"I was wandering around..."

"I was wandering around..."

"I was searching in the darkness"

"I'm losing myself as I think
about you round the clock"



I thought you'd have winded up
for the day and left

The whole town is in fear and
everyone's staying inside

Where are you guys off to?

"I'm losing myself as I think
about you round the clock"

Today's my birthday...

Where's my chocolate?

We must fear when we are in the city.
What's there to fear in forest?

Do you think that
killer won't come here?

"When you aren't around, every moment
I eagerly wait for you to show up"

No girl must face the fate of Gowri.

Imagine if you were in Gowri's place.

I can't even imagine.

Come, let's leave.

We just reached here.



I feel strange. Come, let's leave

Who was that, Ashok?

Idiots!

You okay?

Ashok...

is it the same vehicle?

Whose car is it?

Hello!

Ashok, I don't have a
good feeling about this

Let's make a U-turn and leave

We have a destination only this way

Just get down. I'll check

Leena!

Leena!

Leena...

Who are you?

No!

Let go of me!

Keep quiet if you want to live!

Keep quiet if you want to live!

That's all? Anything else?

VEZHAM
(MAMMOTH)

Our company has grown to be one of the
most dependable amongst companies...

who provide quality check
and assurance services...

to some of the major network
providers in this country

It gives me immense pleasure
to let you guys know that...

yet another major network provider...

is entering into a tie up with us

It's an honour to have your brand
in our list of clientele, sir

Thank you

Thank you

Look he's hiding behind the tree

-Can't you see?
-Uncle, that's me!

Don't end up shooting me

-Oh yeah!
-Stop! Look a guy is running towards us

Then shoot!

-Someone's behind you!
-Behind me?

-Look into the mobile!
-Oh, you mean in mobile?

Shoot! At least finish
the game and then leave

Excuse me, you were
killed 10 minutes ago

-Who are you still playing with?
-Fine, we'll start fresh after eating

Well, if you were my roomate instead of
you brother-in-law, it'd have been fun

-I am ready
-You're ready?

Shall I tell her?

-What's wrong with my brother?
-Oh God! Nothing

Just that he's a unique humna being

Watch when he arrives. You'll feel as if
there's a world war out side the house

He seals the whole house. Not
even a fly or mosquito can enter

And if he smiles someday,
definitely it'll rain that day

You're a getting a miss call?

-Who's that?
-Divya

-And who's she?
-Girlfriend!

Divya and her friend Preethi are
coming to Coimbatore for ten days

And regarding their stay...

I told them they can stay here

Is it?

Preethi can say in the guest room

And Divya?

Why do you ask unwanted questions?

Okay, sister?

Okay

I am busy this month. So,
mostly I won't be coming

Even if I come, I'll stay in
my brother, Ashok's room

Everybody at office is pissed
off with you. Hope you know

-Why?
-Because you're boss' pet

He says you're the reason behind
company's massive growth

He says all others are of no use

You don't have girlfriend-wife troubles,
so you focus on work fully

And so you earn a good name.
You have your life defined

Can't blame others for
getting pissed off

You tap three times more
calls than we all listen to

Why such an obsession over voices?

'May I know what information you need?'

'Madam I changed my number from post
paid to pre paid, two months ago'

'But how come I've got
a bill this month?'

"Keep quiet if you want to live!"

Ashok...

What are you doing?

Did you even sleep?

Why are you sitting outside?

Look at him! Doesn't
even bother to answer!

Today is the wedding of
Rajan uncle’s daughter

He was a close friend of dad

We must attend it

Today is October 17th...

Leena's birthday

Just get rid of this
guilty feeling, Ashok

Please

Enough of ruining your life

What do you want me to do?

His voice still rings in my ears!

I hear it when I'm eating,
sleeping and working!

His voice is all that I
hear round the clock!

The most dangerous species
to ever exist...

are human beings!

"As the days go by..."

"You come to visit me
at sunrise and sunset"

"You keep running to find answers, as it
is the only purpose of your existence"

"As I suffer alone"

How are you, Ashok?

Come home sometime

It's the house where
Leena lived, Francis

I tried my best, Ashok

I didn't get any leads

Who are you looking for?

Who are you?

You're the one standing outside

First, introduce yourself!

This is my house! Who are you?

Sorry, sir

This is Karthik's house.
He is my friend Divya's friend

Can you please call him?

He has gone out

Hello!

Karthik lives with me here...

almost rent free

I'm unable to reach
my friend's number

Tell me Karthik's number

My phone is dead

Come on, brother! You say
that he's your roommate

Don't you know his number by heart

I don't even see any of your photos here

There's a shoe rack in the hall...

and in the fourth row
you'll find a Puma shoes

You'll find my room's spare key in it

If you still don't believe me,
my room's on the right side

Open it and you'll find a cupboard

You can find my photos and ids.
Go and check!

Did you find it?

Yes, I did

Wait, let me check the room

Hope you didn't forget anything

-No
-Okay

Buddy!

You came early today?

Why are you waiting outside?

Meet Divya

-My girlfriend
-Hi

Nut!

Uh-oh! I forgot to buy it

-Divya, you go inside
-Okay

What's all this?

What are you asking about?

Who are they and what
are they doing here?

That's Divya, my girlfriend

The other girl, Preethi

Divya's friend

Hi

Why didn't you tell me that
Mr. Ashok also lives here?

I had no idea who he was

Tried calling you but not reachable

I made him wait outside all this while

Actually this is Ashok's house
and Karthik is staying here.

Just 10 days, buddy. Please

Your elder sister said she
is full busy this month

She said if she visits,
she'll stay in your room

Look how adjustable she is

Buddy...

usually you swear at me for
anything and everything

I don't mind it but...

for the next 10 days...

please treat me good in front of her

Preethi...

feel at home

Be comfortable

Sorry

Thanks to you. You're the
reason he let me stay here

After a long time... happy!

That too with me

Happy times? With him?

What are you guys waiting for?

-Get married
-Ask him

Though he'd come and talk to my parents

But he hasn't spoke to his parens yet!

-Well, the plan is to escape
-What?

I'll speak soon

So, what book are you writing?

Fiction. Thriller

First draft is approved. Have to
make few corrections and send

Your turn

Ashok...

please join.

You're calling him to play?

Only today I found out
there's carrom board here

Dude...

we are going to the mall...

and then planning to watch a movie

Joining us?

You guys carry on

Fine, come and pick us up at night

Comfortable?

Sorry, couldn't get introduced properly

-Ashok
-Divya

Hi

-Glad to meet you
-Call after the movie

Okay, dude

As a detective, I follow certain ethics

I can't take money from you anymore
without any development in this case

I cannot work on this case anymore

You are searching in the darkness

Before you leave...

give me a run through
on this case, once again

You know it all. What new details
can I give?

Didn't I pay you all these years
for nothing?

So, give a run through and leave!

In October 2014...

at Nilgiris hills...

there was rumour about
a psycho killer on spree

The reason for the rumour...

were the murders that took
place there during that month...

and the similarities
in all those murders

October 8th...

18 years old girl, Gowri...

was raped and later murdered
using an iron rod

There was an X mark carved
on her hand using a knife

On October 11th, a decomposed
corpse was found in the forest

The deceased was Chinna, second son
of the minister of forest department

He was also murdered using an iron rod

Two important details...

were found in the autopsy report

#1. Chinna was murdered 48 hours
before his corpse was found

#2. He was murdered using
the same weapon used to murder Gowri

That led to everyone believing
that a psycho killer is on the loose

It began to grab the headlines

But since the state elections
were due in couple of months...

all the news related to
the psycho killer was put on hold

October 17th...

Victims: Leena Joseph...

and Ashok Chandrashekar

Based on the statement of
Ashok, who survived...

there were two murderers but...

Inspector Francis who reached there
to save Ashok...

claimed that there was only one person
committing the crime and he too escaped

On October 21st, in the
town area market...

an unidentified 45 year old man's
decomposed corpse...

with a damaged face similar to
the previous murder was found

It still remains unidentified

Till date, the cops haven't been able
to find out this mystery victim

The only similarity
in all these murders...

were the X mark in victims' hand
and the way they were murdered

Ashok!

Here, you get in the car. I'll come

You arrived on time, buddy

Thanks

Hello

Where are you guys?

Almost getting into the car

How long will it take for...

Don't you have any sense?

Do you think your dad owns the road?

Go find a bigger vehicle
to get yourself killed!

Stop!

Go! Go!

Get in the car!

Quick!

Dude, wait

Divya is yet to come

Ashok, no! Please

-Listen to me
-Dude, please act sensibly

Ashok, the fault is mine

Watch out!

What's wrong with you?

-Ashok, no
-You guys stay put in the car

-Dude, listen to me
-They are innocent

Do you know my dad...

Sir, we are innocent.
She crossed the road blindly

Then why did you run when you saw me?

You chased us and we just
wanted to avoid any scene

Ashok!

Please give up

He's isn't fighting for you

It was that guy's voice

"Keep quiet if you want to live!"
Say it!

Repeat what I said!

-But why, sir?
-Just say it!

Keep quiet if you want to live

Say it properly

Keep quiet if you want to live

Once more!

Keep quiet if you want to live

-Karthik, go!
-Listen to me

Instead of working at
office in this wether...

if we work here, at home...

-then your mom will force us to marry
-No need

You must take a week's
off for Ooty trip

If you do like this, then you won't
have a job when we get married

Now, go!

Now, stop it! Where's the cab?

He'll be here in two minutes. Wait

Darling...

I left the wallet inside

Can you get it?

Can't you one thing properly?

-Doofus!
-Like you let me do things properly!

Nonsense. You just don't
agree to anything.

Karthik...

Yes, Preethi?

I want to know everything
about Leena's murder case.

Ashok, dinner

Why? I usually step out for dinner

Divya and Karthik have taken your car

It's raining heavily

How will you step out?

Thank you

I learnt about Leena's murder

I read the complete case details

Was it interesting?

Did I piss you off?

I forced Karthik and got all the details

Ashok...

I want to know everything...

about Leena

Aren't you a writer?

What are you currently writing?

Murder mystery?

Thriller?

These are best selling genres, right?

Why don't write about this one too?
Don't you know all the details?

That's all the details even I know

At least...

in your story, after the murder...

let the killer get caught
and be revealed

Only then the book will be a hit

It'll be quite interesting

Do you know what your problem is?

You only believe in the negativity
that has surrounded you

Trying giving others a chance, Ashok

You might come across positive things

I'm not asking you about Leena's murder

I want to know about you and Leena

About your relationship

Even after five years after her death...

you haven't moved on. Tell me about that

Anyway...

I’m sorry to have hurt you
asking about all these

Have you come across...

someone who spreads nothing but love?

Lie, betrayal...

ever met someone who doesn't
even know what those are?

Well, I have

My Leena

My mother passed away when I was three

My father's a school teacher in Ooty

My sister is 10 years elder to me

She never let me miss my mom

When I was seven years old, my
sister completed her school

She came to Coimbatore for her college

First time...

I felt lonely in my life

A yearning that I couldn't describe

The feeling of missing a family

That was until I met my Leena

The only thing that
was common between us...

was that we both didn't
have a mother at that age

After Leena's mother passed away...

her father left her with her grandpa...

and went abroad

Leena lived with her grandpa...

expecting someday her father
would return

It was late before she realized...

that her father won't return at all

Another thing that was
common between us...

was loneliness

But that loneliness...

met it's fate on that day

"As love showered upon me..."

"it put an end to all my desperation"

"She lights up my world..."

"with her love"

"You are the rainbow in my world"

"You are the origin
where my life arises"

"You are my strength"

"I shall take care of you forever"

"Just to find you again..."

"All the barriers will be gone..."

"All the barriers will be gone..."

Leena, what are you doing
here at this hour?

Uncle, I'm alone and feeling scared

Can I sleep here tonight?

The neighbours will start gossiping

I mean it'd be fine if there
was a woman living here

But only Ashok and I are here

It's okay, uncle. No problem. Thank you

Lakshmi teacher stays nearby

Shall I talk to her? You can
sleep at her place tonight

No problem, uncle

It's okay. No worries

No, I'll talk to her

It's okay, uncle...

Leena!

Leena...

why are you standing here. Come in

I've set up the room for you

It's okay, Ashok

Come on, Leena

Come

Dad, let Leena sleep in my room

I could go with her to her house

but poor girl, her grandpa's
memories won't let her sleep

So, you carry on and go to sleep

Thanks for understanding

Ashok...

Ashok!

All these belongs to your
sister Ashwini right?

No

They belong to someone else

You look very beautiful

Your dad must be hurt, right?

All he worries is about
what others will talk about us

The whole town has been
watching us both for years

What new would they have to gossip now?

Grandpa was all over the house,
all the time

You can hear his voice round the clock

But the silence now...

makes me realize how big that house is

I know it very well

I am one among those who run for their
lives when your grandpa shouts

Do you know, he actually liked you

-Stop kidding
-I'm serious

My uncle married a girl
from a different religion

Grandpa never approved it

He knew I am with you all the time

But he never spoke a word against it

What happened to your uncle later?

He came back many times, begging
grandpa to accept him and his family

But grandpa never took him back in

Later what happened to him
and about his whereabouts...

Well, I have no idea about it

Leena...

can I ask you something?

What is it?

I don't know if this is the right time

Your grandpa just passed away

You must be heartbroken

-I...
-Stop beating around the bush

Let's get married. What do you say?

Okay

Okay?

That was spontaneous

We both know that eventually
we are going to marry each other

On top of that, I don't have
anyone to ask for permission...

but you

So is it ok to marry you?

Will it be a correct decision?

No matter what you do, you'll
never find a perfect guy like me

Let's get married. Nothing wrong in it

"As the distance fades away..."

"you fill my life with love and light"

"As my heart gets
drenched in your love..."

"we become inseparable"

"In this whole world..."

"you're the sole meaning of my life"

"A language that is
understood universally..."

"is the language of love,
which I see in your eyes"

"I wake up in my dreams..."

"like the waves arise,
just to find you again"

"Barriers will be gone..."

"like a volcano settles down
and our love will be strong forever"

"All the barriers will be gone"

"All the barriers will be gone"

"Oh my angel..."

"All the barriers will be gone"

"As the distance fades away..."

"you fill my life with love and light"

"As my heart gets
drenched in your love..."

"we become inseparable"

Why have you also applied
for job in Bangalore?

Why do you ask?

It's too far, Ashok

Just find a job in Coimbatore

We can reach here quickly, in two hours

You will be living
with me after marriage

We'll come here during weekends

I don't see a problem

I must visit this house often, Ashok

Or else I'll miss it a lot

A cop is standing out and
observing this house

What?

-Hello, sir
-Hello

Any problem?

Hi Leena

Francis?

What a surprise!

How are you?

I am good

Been so long! You look so different

You look the same

You still have the same innocent face

Why are you waiting outside?

-Come. Come inside
-It's okay

I just came to meet you

I didn't know if you'd be at home

I am on duty

I'll come sometimes later

Okay

By the way, meet Ashok

Ashok meet Francis

Hi

Nice to meet you

-Francis
-Ashok

Francis...

Back then I didn't know that
he'd be the one to save my life

Your uncle whom your grandpa disowned...

Is he that uncle's son?

Obviously, I only have one uncle.
That's his son

Out of the blue comes her cousin!

What a shame!!

What is this new competition?

There is no competition to my
love for you darling. Okay?

Just when Leena thought
she had no family...

Francis arrival gave
her a lot of happiness

Francis and his family became our family

Days that were filled
only with happiness

Who are you, sir?

Leena...

Leena, do you know him?

My father

Ashok...

ask him to leave

Please!

-Leena, please
-Ashok...

I need just five minutes with you

-Please, give me five minutes
-Ashok, ask him to leave

Leena, please

Sir, please...

I won't leave. She's my daughter! I
won't leave until she speaks to me

Please

Sir...

you left a five year old kid
and never looked back

Did you even bother to find
out what happened to her?

You show up out of the blue
and want her to talk to you?

I agree what I did was a mistake

I understand her pain.
I'm sorry, dear

Sorry

You understand?

You're sorry?

A sorry is supposed to solve everything?

Plea...

What was my fault?

Do you know how many days I stood by
the gate expecting your arrival?

You are solely responsible
for mom's death

You just don't understand anything!

And you don't care about anything!

You understand only money!

Don't touch me!

Ashok, come. Please...

Ashok, come in

I don't have much time left

Leena!

I am dying!

I'll be gone forever, soon

I don't have much time left

I'm diagnosed with
stomach cancer, fourth stage

I'm dying

I have nobody but you....
I have nobody...

Sir...

Sir, please come in

Get up, sir

Leena!

I really don't understand how could
Leena's dad leave such a gem and go away

Some s...

After all that he did to her...

he must have really done some good deed

She forgave him that very moment

She took care of him like a child

She is stubborn. She wants take me away
for this medical treatment

I'm sorry for creating
this gap between you guys

Come on, no problem

The best thing to happen to me
in life is my daughter Leena

Ashok...

you must...

Please take care of her

I will uncle

Don't worry

Thank you

Leena left to Singapore with her dad

The first time we both were apart

"I wake up in my dreams..."

"like the waves arise,
just to find you again"

Do miss me

Don't roam around recklessly

Take care of your health

"Her love fills me up"

Come back soon

"Her love fills me up"

Around four to five months...

A life without Leena...

I wanted to finish my
interview in Bangalore...

and reach home the next day afternoon

In order to surprise me...

Leena reached the same day
early morning to Ooty

Gowri...

Why is the door unlocked?

Gowri...

Gowri...

Gowri!

Gowri!

Francis, how did this happen?

Go and check it out

Leena?

Go upstairs and check

Don't miss anything
while clicking photos

Okay, sir

-Is the body sent for autopsy?
-Yes, sir. At 2 'o clock

Leena couldn't forget that incident

She couldn't come out of it

She lost the trust upon human beings

She'd spent time all by herself

Her dad also returned home

No amount of pacifying...

could bring her out of it

It was Leena’s birthday

She wanted to go out somewhere

All I wanted was her to get out of it
and become normal

I didn't think it out completely

The biggest mistake of my life...

was taking her out on that day

Ashok, I don't have a
good feeling about this

Let's make a U-turn and leave

We have a destination only this way

Leena!

Leena!

Leena!

Who are you?

-Ashok!
-Leena!

Let go of me!

Keep quiet if you want to live!

Leena!

Leena!

Leena...

Leena!

Leena?

Help! Help!

Leena!

Leena, run!

-Leena!
-Ashok...

Don't wait. Just run!

Ashok!

Ashok! Ashok!

Just leave...

Please! Please!

Leave us

Told you!

Keep quiet if you want to live!

Ashok!

Leena!

Ashok!

Leena! Ashok!

Ashok...

Yes, Preethi?

So, is revenge your
ultimate and only aim?

These animals are roaming scot free
after committing so many murders

Do you think that's justice?

Just with a voice?

How, Ashok?

Fill your mind with only one thing,
then dedicate your life to pursue it

It will find you one day!

And if that day comes?

And if you find him...

what can you do, Ashok?

How will you prove it's him?

Don't be upset, darling

Do as you wish! I don't care

I feel that...

it is because of Ashok...

you’re not coming with us

Stop blabbering. Nothing of that sort

What's the big deal? Once I'm done
writing my book, I'll come and join

We are going there for only five days

When will you finish and
when will you reach?

When it comes to Ashok,
be careful in whatever you do

Don't regret later

Hello...

Tell me, Preethi

Well...

I'm not in the mood to cook dinner

Neither am I interested
to step out and eat alone

So...

will you...

join me for dinner?

Okay

Okay?

By what time should I be ready?

Eight 'O clock

Okay

Bye

"A new relationship has begun"

"Will this be etched in my heart
forever?"

"Hey tough guy..."

"will you accept my love?"

"A new relationship has begun"

"Will this be etched in my heart
forever?"

"Hey tough guy..."

"will you accept my love?"

"The affection for each other grows
as we get to know each other"

"My desire for you grows
as I get closer to you"

"I can feel a spark inside
me when I get closer to you"

"What is about you that
makes me feel so?"

"I am lighting up like a firefly..."

"so come on, dear. Let's embark
on this journey of life together"

"Only love can put out
the yearning inside me"

"Oh my love"

"As I wait for the day you'll
also fall in love with me"

forever?"

"Hey tough guy..."

"will you accept my love?"

"The affection for each other grows
as we get to know each other"

"My desire for you grows
as I get closer to you"

Preethi!

Preethi!

What are you doing here?

What's wrong with you?

Are you sick?

I love you, Ashok

I know you don't love me

But I also know that you like me

Is there a hope someday?

Will you let someone take
Leena's place in your life?

The only thing that can defeat
hatred and violence in this world...

One and only thing...

that's Love

-Sorry guys
-Okay

-Let's continue
-Hello

Hello

Yeah

How?

How are they doing now?

Don't you have sense?

Can't you drive safely?

Do you have any? Won't you buy
fruits while visiting the patient?

Yeah, be prompt in asking that!

-You must have got hurt instead of Divya
-Where is she?

First room

Hey there

Are you alright?

Do I look so? I fell and
skid on the road

Not even a scratch on him

I guess he knew it and escaped

Does it hurt?

It's pains very much. It's unbearable

Don't you worry

I'll handle mom

Senthil!

Sir?

Just think it was all for good

Senthil...

-drive very carefully
-Okay, sir

Call me once you reach there

Okay, sir

I'll talk to Ashok and
come back in five minutes

Okay

Buddy...

I want to have a word with you

I am one among the few who
know everything about you

May I say something?

Tell me

Don't let go of someone like Preethi

Now, don't give me that stare!

No one asked me to tell you

It's quite evident

Leena is gone forever

But love can happen...

Love only, right?

Uh-oh!

I can't do it. She asked
me to convince you

she even gave me a
note to memorize!

Just remember this, after a long time
good things are happening in your life

That's all I got to say. Don't miss her.
That is all I was asked to say

Ashok...

Tell me, Preethi

Why don't you join us?

The bike is at the police station

Few formalities need to be taken care of

After finishing all that...

Ill reach home. You guys leave

You didn't give me a reply yet

Let's give it some time, Preethi

Let's take a break

After that... what?

You might move on from your feelings

Even though it has been five years
since Leena passed, have you moved on?

You think it'd be easy for me?

-Here you go, sir
-Thank you

What do you want?

Don't ruin the other stuff

Boss, he isn't taking it

He is a regular customer.
Don't you know his brand?

Give it, his elder
brother will pay later

Okay, boss

Told you repeatedly to
arrange everything. Do it!

Excuse me!

You forgot this

Hello!

Excuse me!

Sir...

he is speech and hearing impaired

Give it to me. He lives near the lake

He will come back to collect or
else I'll send it through him

Why is that crazy guy
running away like this?

'Promise me whatever happens
you will never hate me'

'You will never leave me'

'I advice you to please move on'

'You are searching in the darkness'

'I tried my best Ashok'

'I did not find any lead'

'Enough of ruining your life, Ashok'

'Life has to move on, Ashok'

'If that day ever comes...'

'and if you find the murderer...'

'what can you do, Ashok?'

'How will you prove it was him?'

"Keep quiet if you want to live!"

Is that all?

Anything else?

Ashok...

think harder

We didn't find any other clue

Did the second guy say anything?

He didn't speak at all

The biggest mistake I
made that day was...

that I failed to ensure you were dead

I must have murdered you nice and slow

Keep quiet if you want to live!

Dear brother!

How did you trace us out?

You never saw our faces!

I was searching for this voice
all these years

What?

In the end your brother, who
can't speak, led me to you

Voice?

My voice?

"Keep quiet if you want to live!"

You said it twice to me

Today's I won't show mercy

Whether you keep quiet or scream...

you ain't going out alive from here

Leave me!

I'll finish him off!

Fine, since he roughed you up...

Go! Finish him off!

Let go of him!

Excuse me

Excuse me

Listen you mongrel...

I am going to finish off
your brother now

Keep quiet and enjoy the show

We didn't murder that girl

We aren't the psycho killers

You guys murdered her
right in front of me

No!

A third person came there on that day

A guy named Kaasi

He gave us that contract to murder

We are just the henchmen

Who is that Kaasi?

Kaasi is no more

The fourth murder claimed to be
committed by that psycho killer...

The corpse found in the market

That was Kaasi

Even the police couldn't trace out
whose corpse it was

So stop it with your stories

No one can trace him!

He is like a ghost

Murdering is his profession

Blabber all you want,
you're still dying today!

We were offered five lakh
rupees to murder that girl

What did you say?

One day he came
with a job proposal

The job was near Ooty...

so we were hesitant

He offered us five lakhs
and we took it up

We monitored the girl's house
for one whole week

She didn't step out at all

Back then the psycho killer
rumour was spreading quickly

Kaasi planned to kill the girl
following the psycho killer pattern

Atlast, the girl
came out with you

Kaasi was not with us then

He asked us to carry out the job

He asked us not to kill
the girl until he arrives

After learning that you
went to the hilltop...

He told us the location
where we must corner you

We did not expect the police
to come in search of you

Right when we decided to kill the girl
and runaway, Kaasi came there

We came to know that
Kaasi died after four days

We were scared about getting
caught, so we left Ooty

We did not return
for three years

I am not ready to
believe your stories

Because Kaasi is dead

You don't know anything too

Then, whom shall I go
in search of?

I swear, we did
not kill that girl

You killed my brother. Now leave me

I will leave this village

I will never come in your way

I am not convinced

Give me any information
that might save your life

I shall consider
leaving you alive then

I know where Kaasi stayed when
we were monitoring the girl for a week

After the girl died...

the next three days...

we went to the house...

to get the remaining money

But he did not turn up

After that night I
did not see him at all

Where?

How does Kaasi look like?

As tall as you

But darker and beefed up

Sir

Who is it?

One of my old friend named Kaasi...

used to live in this address four
years before. Do you know him?

-What did you say his name was?
-Kaasi

How does he look?

Black, beefed up
and as tall as me

Most of the men in this village
go with your specifications?

He was here for sometime

He stayed for a month.
Do you remember him?

Sorry, I don't remember

Grandpa!

Don't you remember me?

Ashok! You changed a lot

How are you?

I am fine

Let me take that

It's alright

How are you?

I am doing okay

My children...

stopped caring for me

I came back to my hometown

What are you doing here?

My house is around
here. Don't you know?

Here?

Third house on the right
by the street ahead

I am living there for 10 years

I came here searching for a person

He used to live in the
5th house in the street

A dark guy

As tall as I am

Kaasi

He was staying here when Leena died

Do you know him?
Please think about it

It's been 5 years

I know him

I know he used to live here

He was here only for a brief period

One day your inspector friend
came here looking for him.

He was an inspector then.
Now he has become DSP

Francis?

Yes, him

When did he come?

It was around that time

Since all shops are
closed here on Sundays...

I went to town to buy
medicines for my wife...

and returned in the
middle of the night

Dear... Francis...

Grandpa! Is that you?

What are you doing at this hour?

I came here to interrogate someone

-He is not at home
-A new guy lives here right?

I think his name is Kaasi... right?

Yeah. But not now...
He is not at home now

-Is there a problem dear?
-Nothing. You go ahead

Sunday... do you
remember the date?

Something happened then...

Elections were held that week

I returned late night, because
of the party's procession

Please wait a minute

The election was conducted on
Wednesday the 23rd of October

Then the Sunday you are referring
must be 20th of October

It could be

Mom!

Ashok... Welcome

It's been so many years

-How are you Sheela?
-I am fine. How are you?

Francis...

He just called. He is on his way home

Come inside

It's okay. Come in

Come

What would you like to have?

-It's alright
-Sit down

I will be back in two minutes

Ashok!

What a surprise?

All these years, how many
times have I called you?

When did you arrive?

Just now

Dear, I was about to call you

Ashok, have some coffee

You sounded tense on
the phone. What happened?

A murder case in Ketti town. A house...

was burnt down with kerosene

Two people were inside

Jesus

Is everything alright, Ashok?

I need to speak to you in person

Tell me Ashok

In person

Sam, take uncle to my study

Ashok, have some coffee

-Thank you
-What are you doing?

Your father is gonna
scold you for this

Make yourself comfortable,
I will be back

Sheela, take him with you

Sam, how many times have I told you
not to play games in my work computer

-Out
-Come

Didn't I tell you?

Drink your coffee. It'll quickly
go cold in this weather

My bad

I forgot you used to live here

Apart from anger and pain...

everything else
will get cold here

You wanted to speak to me. Go ahead

After Leena, the fourth person who
was murdered in the market place...

The person whom
you couldn't identify

His name is Kaasi

What?

Kaasi is a contract killer

Leena was not murdered
by any psycho killer

Kaasi and his two accomplices
were the culprit

What are you saying?
How do you know these?

I don't know who paid Kaasi
to kill Leena

But...

five years ago, he was acquainted...

with you, Francis

What?

I have the proof that
you went in search of Kaasi

On October 20th

A day before when Kaasi was
found murdered in the market

When you knew Kaasi...

why did you close the case
as unidentifiable?

What are you getting at Ashok?

Know your limits!

I let you in and sit here because
of the respect I have for Leena

You are the last
person who met him

On the day of Leena's death!

Who ordered to kill Leena?

Was it you?

That's it, Ashok!

I don't want to answer
your stupid questions

I came to save Leena.
I could not do it...

But it was me, who
saved your life

This conversation is over

You can leave

Ashok, what are you doing? Stop it

I found the voice I was
searching for these many years

Two of them. They were brothers

They told me about Kaasi

They begged a lot

Sir, please let me go...

Sir... Sir.. please don't do it

Sir! Sir!

I finished them off

Stop your drama

You eyes are full of lies

Tell me

Tell me what you know

I have no humane intentions
at all right now

Tell me

So you want to know
who the psycho killer is?

You want me to tell
you who killed Leena?

Who?

Who is it?

Who is it?

What do you want?

We were passing by

My brother is having
breathing trouble

Please give some
water. It's urgent

-Where?
-Here?

Please madam. It's urgent.
Please bring some water

Wake up buddy

Sister, come fast. Come here

Wake up man. Wake up

I have been watching you for
some time. You look beautiful

You rascal!

Mind you!

Hold her legs tight!

How dare you hit my brother?

Aren't you ashamed to get hit by a girl?

Make sure no one is in here

Will see to it

Where is that?

Move!

Move

Why are you drinking water?

Did you even do anything?

Won't you teach
your brother all this?

Chinna what are you doing?
Move away if you can't do it

Look at him

Dad is calling me repeatedly.
We are leaving

Starting trouble?

Selvam, won't you teach
your brother all this?

Move away if you can't do it

You let them do it. Why not me?

Answer me!

Gowri! Gowri!

Leena

What happened?

Minister Mariappan's son
Chinna was lying dead there

Leena's life would be in
trouble if news gets out

I had no clue on what to do

It was almost sunrise

I decided to cover up things so
that Leena won't be suspected

Murders by a psycho killer
usually follow a same pattern

Sometimes they leave an inscription
or words after the murder

In order to divert the case...

I created the whole psycho killer saga

Just do as I say for the next few days

Make sure this stays between us

Don't even tell Ashok

Okay?

After couple of hours...

I asked her to call the cops

She came home after sunrise...

and found Gowri dead. This is the
statement I asked her to make

Why didn't you file
this as a police case?

A girl undergoes so much
trouble and you chose to stay quiet

Try to understand, Ashok?

You don't know about
Minister Mariappan

He had murdered a lot of people
to become the Minister

A missing complaint on Chinna was filed
the next day from Minister's office

Stop pestering us!

I was being pressured
by my superiors

I got into Mariappan's house
on the pretext of investigating

I decided to over hear
all their conversations

I bugged the entire house

It was then I learnt
something unexpected

Gowri was murdered not just by Chinna...

but his brother and his
friends too were involved

I thought I had lost it all

Selvam started having doubts
when news about Gowri got out

Because...

he did not carve the X
mark on her when he left

Without knowing any of this...

I made a mark on her hand

Even then they were
clueless about Chinna

But after they got the body...

They found out that
Leena was the murderer

How?

The only reason the pervert
came back to the house was...

to prove himself to
those who laughed at him

You made fun of me, right

Now watch this

The last thing that
he did in his life...

turned everyone's life upside down!

Come on, dad

Watch out, sir

Chinna!

Chinna!

Selvam!

We must kill her brutally

-Come on
-Let's go

Mari, sit down

She killed my son

I know, now sit down

-It was a girl, after all
-Be patient

Are you asking me to let her go?

We shall do it, now sit down

Be patient

Election is just two weeks away

Everyone are waiting
for us to make a mistake

Your anger might spoil
your entire political career

You guys don't seem
to understand at all

You or Selvam should
not be involved in this

Let me hire some men

She created a rumour
about psycho killer

I will use the idea to kill her

Come on, uncle!

Chinna is gone!

Are you asking me to let that go?

-I know
-Damn it!

None of us should be
directly involved in this

The one who does the job should
not know that he is doing it for us

We should not know about
the person who does the job

The girl....

I will make sure she dies

I will ensure that

Please be quiet until then

Cut off the links to the media

The case should not be blown up at all

High profile murders like these...

will have several layers

The person who commits the murder...

will not even know for whom he did it

I did not know who
the murderer was

I did not know where to look for

Leena cannot leave the place

It was risky for her even
to step out of the house

I came to know you
two had headed out...

and searched for you everywhere

Atlast, I tracked you

But it was late

I killed Kaasi

Leena! Leena!

Leena!

Ashok! Ashok!

I went to Kaasi's room to
destroy his ID cards

But there was nothing there

Where is Minister Mariappan?

Two heart attacks...

has made him an ex minister

Mariappan lives in his estate here

He is bedridden

I have been struggling for five years!

You knew these all this time...

Ashok, please understand...

Had I told you, you would
have set out for revenge

They would not have
spared your life too

How do I believe all this?

I saved your life

You want proof, right. Come along

When Mariappan's brother and Selvam...

were planning to kill Leena

I recorded this after I
bugged Mariappan's house

I need you to do me a favour

Ashok, you still have a
life ahead of you

Do not spoil your life

Leena will not come back again

Can you do it or not?

What is it?

Someone has parked in middle of the road

I am not sure where he
went. Let me check, sir

Driver!

Sir, no one is inside

Look around

Driver!

Where are you?

Driver!

Sir, the key is in the ignition

-I will move it aside
-Make it fast

Sir, let's leave

Sir

Sir?

Sir!

Who are you? Let go of
my hands!

Recognise me?

Remember Leena?

You killed her right here

Hello

What are you saying?

Sir, the car is missing

Sir, please come here

When I came back... He was...

Sir, even the car is missing now

Hey, are you drunk? Blow your mouth

Sir, no sir

I said, blow your mouth

-No sir
-Tell me the truth

-Sir, no sir
-You will be done with

Sir

This is a deserted road

There are no signs of car tyres here

Did you pick up Selvam?

Sir, I am telling the truth

I parked the car there

I came back here

He was missing

What shall we do?

Shall we call our men
to search in the forest?

Call minister's house and
check if Selvam has arrived there

Sir

You both killed my brother...

and you expect me to
be a mute spectator?

A girl...

just because she slapped your brother...

you gang raped her and killed her

Your brother...

went back and...

Damn it!

And you guys are saints...

and you talk as if
murdering you is a sin!

What did you say?

“You both killed my brother”

What did I do?

You are going to kill me anyhow

Why do you act innocent?

I heard your voice...

when my brother called me that night

What?

Chinna, tell me

Save... me...

What are you saying?

Are you high? Have you
started drinking again?

What happened?

He is boozing again with someone

Alcohol is going to kill him soon

You were always with her, weren’t you?

You killed my brother

Selvam...

I am going to kill one more person today

Guess who?

-Bhaskar...
-Sir

Everyone except Minister
should be assembled here

-Right now
-Okay, sir

Come over and stand in line

Everyone come here

-Sir
-Call the station

Okay, sir

-Ask them to inform all other stations
-Yes, sir

Organize a search team
and send them to the location

Collect everyone's cell phones. I need
all incoming and outgoing call details.

-Interrogate everyone separately
-Okay, sir

-Quick
-Give me your mobiles

'Former minister of environment
and forest development ...'

'Mr. Mariappan passed
away earlier today'

'Chief Minister and other political
leaders are offering their condolence'

'Following the demise
of the minister...'

'in a new turn of events,
his elder son Selvam ...'

'is missing since yesterday evening...'

Sheela

-Shall we move?
-Coming

'He was on his way to Ooty
from Coimbatore airport'

You laughed at me right, now watch

I heard your voice...

when my brother called me that night

The video from Chinna's phone

How did you acquire it
on the same day he died?

Leena considered you to be her family

How could you betray her?

Sorry, Ashok. I have no other option

You have to die

Hello, Francis

Hello!

Francis

Ashok!

Is Leena alive, Francis?

How?

Tell me, Francis!

Tell me!

Tell me!

Tell me!

Tell me!

What did you do to Leena?

Francis!

Tell me, Francis

Francis

Tell me. Francis! Francis!

After my grandfather's death...

I came here to claim my
rightful share of his assets

When I came here...

this house...

You and Leena made it your own house

No one thought that I
had a share in this too

When Leena was treated
like a queen in the house...

my family was struggling for a meal

My father and I had
been here many times

But we had never stepped inside

The old man did not like my
father marrying out of the religion

What's my fault?

You and Leena did the same

Was that alright?

It was then I decided...

Leena lived here all these years...

I decided it was my turn

I could not go
around begging for it

When I was not sure about what to do...

the opportunity presented itself...

in the form of Gowri's murder

When I came to the house that night...

Selva...

Save me...

That night I saw the
video from Chinna's mobile

I kept it inside Chinna's dress

In case if they
fail to kill Leena...

I should be able to kill
her without suspicion

That's why I really created
the psycho killer saga

When Leena dies...

I could take the house...

But my plan was
foiled the very next day

When I came to this house to
officially investigate Gowri's murder

I read the old man's will

In the absence of Leena, the
house shall not be owned by anyone...

other than the church, it said

Even in his final moments,
he did not think about me

I thought things through

Suddenly everything was clear to me

The video I saved from
Chinna's mobile...

proved useful

I told Leena's father everything

I warned him that
they would kill Leena

Even if they don't kill her...

With the video I have...

I made him realize that I
could do anything to her...

The only way Leena could live was...

by being dead to the world

To execute this, I
demanded two things...

First, the house must be mine

Second...

Ashok and Leena should not be together

He did not think twice

He accepted immediately

The only point I slipped was...

when you and Leena...

went out without informing anyone

If I had come a little late...

Kaasi would have killed Leena

The only mistake I did...

was showing pity on you...

and saving your life

To convince Leena that you were dead...

was a daunting task

She begged to see your
corpse for one last time...

Her father blackmailed
her emotionally

He convinced her somehow
and sent her away from there

From the Government mortuary...

I took a corpse that looked like Leena

I made sure the face was unrecognizable

The next day, her father came in...

and identified the body...

Who would question after that?

For safety, I called your sister too...

She also believed
that it was Leena

I want to talk to Leena

Ashok!

Ashok!

Leena is married and has a child

She has come to India for the
first time after five years

She is in Goa with her family

She is calling me to visit her

If she finds out
you are alive...

Imagine what will happen to her

Ashok!

Ashok!

Listen to me...

Please leave this town at once

I will inform you next week...

Make sure there is a record
of you being at your office

A murder will take
place here right then

There is an accused here

Any how our department
is planning to kill him...

I will kill him in the same
pattern as the psycho killer

No one could link
you with that murder

Move on, Ashok

You still have your life to live

For Leena...

you are dead...

Let it stay that way

"As love showered upon..."

"it put an end to all the desperation"

"She lights up my world..."

"with her love"

"You are the rainbow in my world"

"You are the origin
where my life arises"

"My life belongs to you"

"I will always protect you in my heart"

"Our love is immortal"

'Selvam, the elder son of the
deceased former Minister Mariappan...'

'was murdered in
a mysterious way'

'The murder pattern resembles the series
of murders that happened five years ago'

'We shall ask DSP Francis about this'

People believe that the psycho killer
from five years back is out again

Have you arrested
anyone related to the case?

We have arrested four
people out of suspicion

Sir, we need a
clear picture on this

We are doing our best

The psycho killer
cannot escape this time

We will definitely arrest him

Thank you, sir

Ashok

What happened?

I fell down

Are you leaving?

Please, Ashok

Don't leave

Don't go in search of that murderer

I am not going anywhere

I am not going to take any revenge

I want to start a new life, Preethi...

"Everything just kept moving on"

"But the memories were frozen"

"As the shriek was heard all over"

"The sight sent a shudder
down the spine "

"Now everything is broken and shattered"
