Good Lord!
What respect!!
Sir, you're a politician
Why are you getting up?
Thanks to him,
I became a politician
Let me respect him until
I marry his granddaughter
Greetings, sir
Hey! Get him a chair
Kesavan, turn the crane at
the temple a little to the left
Let it face the temple tower
Yes, drill the temple
Don't
Listen to me
I'm a Govt. officer
You deserve to die
Do you have any idea
of the stakes involved?
Sir...sir, someone is coming
Son...sonny, who are they?
Who stabbed you?
If you want to
save this village...
...open up the temple
Open the temple
If we have to
save our village...
...our temple next to the dam
should be opened at once
King Lingeswara built this temple
near the reservoir 70 years ago
We should open it immediately
This isn't my order
The King wishes it so
I'm just repeating
(clears throat)
...what he himself
told me in my dream
I thought as much
When the man who drilled the temple
was killed by a wild deer...
...I knew something
like this would happen
What do you say, MP bro?
If our village will benefit
we should act immediately
Yes, we can open it
But you should know this
We are not eligible to open the doors
of the temple built by King Lingeswara
My father promised the king
only his heir will do the honors!
The king's only son is dead
is what we heard
The king's grandson is alive
Wonder where he is now
Let's find him, whichever
part of the world he may be
"Hey! My bosom pal so true
Come...shall we rock, dude?"
"Hey! My best friend and ally
Shall we open up the sky?"
"If affection many a gallon, 24x7
doors will open in Heaven"
"We'll indulge in every trend
diving for precious pearls, my friend"
"In our right palm, the endless sky
and earth in the left, life is ours to fly"
"Hey! Well-wisher, so true
Shall we live it up, dude?"
"Hey! Boon companion, bull's eye
Shall we unlock the blue sky?"
"Friend, giving forever"
"Amigo"
(Spanish)
"Fragrance spreader"
"Ami"
(French)
"Famous laughter"
"Amico"
(Italian)
"Sparks sparkle in mid-air"
"My blood brother"
"Mitra"
(Sanskrit)
"Giver renowned"
"Mitharya"
(Sinhala)
"Scent Godsend"
"Dost"
(Hindi)
"Cheer laden"
"Rakan"
(Malay)
"Tongues of flame extend"
"Lady and love, meant to be relished
In both cases don't cross the limit"
"Go with the flow to avoid misery
Fish, don't swim beyond the sea"
"Gather your good fortunes together
You need a friend to rejoice, remember"
"Follow your forefathers' policy
Change with the times if need be"
"Hey! Close friend I most value
We'll kick our heels, dude?"
"Hey! My guide and mind's eye
Shall we unlock the sky?"
"Celebration spree
Glee to the nth degree"
"Shall we sing readily?
Shall we play headily?"
"Shall we dance feverishly?
Shall we live it up lavishly?"
"Joy on earth is natural, sorrow artificial
Don't carry a cross, additional trouble"
"In life's cycle, sorrow follows happiness
Pal, don't lose control of your senses"
"Try living with a heart of gold
Your joys will multiply manifold"
"Share yourself with everyone
World will be yours to enthrone"
"Hey! My bosom pal so true
Come...shall we rock, dude?"
"Fountain of laughter cheer laden
Have a ball, paint the town red"
"Hey! My backup and back bone
The boundless sky shall we open?"
"Fragrant present
Godsend scent"
"Wholesome flavor
to savor forever"
"If affection in plenty, 24x7
doors will open in Heaven"
"We'll indulge in every trend
diving for rare pearls, my friend"
"Endless sky in our right hand,
earth in left, life is ours to command"
"Best friend, my 'nanban' true
Let's rock and roll, dude"
Sir, 'Lord of all lands'
Yes, my friend?
Even when you are in jail
how do you dream away to glory?
Which are the cities
you wandered today?
Brazil
London
Philippines
Norway
Are we with you
in your dreams?
- No
- Thought as much
You'll bring us
into jail with you
But if it's Germany
you'll have solo fun
How do you go around
the world in 7 days?
Do you think he is
a scumbag like you?
He's blue blooded royal clan
King Lingeswara's grandson
Haven't I told you not to
bring up that man's name?
Sorry, my tongue just slipped!
You travel millions of miles
in your dream, right?
Don't you want to see
America and London 'live'?
Wish-list is plenty, fatso
But my bank balance is zero
That's why I said
'let us pull off 1 last heist'
- You're turning a deaf ear
- With you in our gang, huh?
When we went to steal
in that bungalow...
...they went and
rang the door bell!
And he talks of a huuuge heist!
Politics is our best bet
Even as a councillor
we can settle down in Canada
Hey! Aluminium amphora!
Why be stingy and
settle for less?
Why not aspire to be a Governor,
Prime minister or Chief minist-
Inspector is here
You'll deny us the joy
of a helicopter ride
Praise be to You,
Goddess Mahalakshmi
Look at Lord Ganesha's mouse
showing off his cool coolers!
Bad penny back again, huh?
Good morning
Have you filed
a case against them?
Not yet, sir
Why didn't you, man?
Haven't got any matter, sir
Don't you know
about this gang?
They won't share their spoils
No one will come forward
to bail them out either
Sir, why don't you
let us out, just like that?
Phrase 'just like that' doesn't
exist in my dictionary
But you simply get paid
for sitting just like that?
I'll pierce this baton from
your mouth to your back
Oh! You're a magician too?
Show me a demo
It's not magic
If I really pierce you
your life will be a tragedy
You can never get married
File a report against him
Here, sir
- Sir?
- Who is that?
My name is Lakshmi, sir
Lakshmi...?
Place your right foot forward
and step in as my lucky charm
Look at him drooling
over the name 'Lakshmi'
Who is she?
She sparkles...
...like Hindu ritual bronzes
scrubbed with tamarind
What do you want, dear?
Take out on bail, sir
Bail, huh?
Who, Mahalakshmi?
- Oh wow!
- Shut up
Who is it you want
to take bail for?
Aren't you King Lingeswara's
grandson K.Lingeswaran?
Yes, what about that?
Then he's the one I need
to take out on bail, sir
I have no clue
who she is, sir
Shut up
The whole place knows
you are the 'super star'!
Don't try to fool me
Listen, dear
Nothing happens here
without Lakshmi, dear
- Without me?
- I didn't mean you
I meant Lakshmi,
the Goddess of wealth
Not enough, dear
Like a girl who has hidden
notes to copy in an exam...
...she's picking up notes
from all parts of her body
Rs 10,000
Okay, dear
Release Lingaa alone
Lingaa won't come alone
It's either all or none
He's a true-
...friend!
If you want me to
release everyone...
...Goddess of wealth
should be more generous
Ugh!
Yov!
That's disrespectful
You don't deserve respect
You are looting
more than we ever did
File a case against us
We won't step out
I won't forego money from
Goddess Lakshmi on a Tuesday
I'll collect the rest later
Take your gang and go
What a modest girl!
Serenity personified!!
Take them, dear
Hey! Leave now
Visuals are clear?
Yes, madam
- Audio?
- Okay, madam
Come in
Oh gawd! Media
Cover your face
- Get ready for the shoot
- Light, come forward
Ready, madam
Roll camera
Rolling
'Good morning viewers'
'What you just now saw
is the footage from...'
'...Shivarajanagar
F23 A Police station'
'This inspector-'
Yov! Turn
'Rajavarman'
'Without filing a case, you saw him
clearly accepting bundles of money'
'This is the worst racket
in our country at present'
'This is the basis of all thefts'
'With cameraman Devaraj
Lakshmi from Public TV'
On your knees
All of you
kneel down
Shut up
What's with you?
I swear when I see you, it's like
Goddess Lakshmi is in front of me
Such a moron, I saw the money
and didn't see the camera, dear
These chaps only taught me
to be corrupt and take bribes
I'm like a child
Very innocent
I'll disregard my Tuesday sentiment
and return the money to you, dear
Give me the money
Here, sir
All yours
Short by 6
Is that so?
Who flicked that?
I took it assuming
it is my share, sir
Just by the twist of a wrist
he flicked 6 notes
He seems more
criminal minded than us
You tore my dignity to tatters
Can I take them, sir?
Please do, dear
Come along with me
Ma...ma...madam
What now?
Footage you filmed
Hear it in Public
The public will only thrash me
'Public' TV!
You want me to open
the temple in Solaiyur?
Are you trying to be funny?
If it has been locked for 70 years
the doors are bound to be stuck
Take a few carpenters
and get the door opened
Why call him?
Ho...joke, huh?
Good joke, laugh out loud
If it's weak, turn a deaf ear
For a whole week, do you
know how many people...
...have been hunting
for you all over the place?
That's the stamp of a celebrity!
How did you find out?
I anchor a reality show
Instead of palaces, I looked for him
in the cities he was born and raised
I never thought such royal blood
will be holed up amongst rogues
Do you know your grandfather
was the most revered king ever?
How can you
resort to thieving?
Yes, agreed
I am a thief
I've also heard
all the tales
My grandfather built a temple,
dug a pond, served the people
What did he do for me?
What did he give my father?
Not even a tiled
or thatched hut!
My father was a teacher
till his last breath
Do you have any idea
how much my parents suffered?
When I think of it
my blood boils!
My grandpa lived life royally,
had his fun and passed away
I'm living in my dream world
Do you know how many days
I've stood outside the palace?
I wasn't even allowed in
He drained his wealth to the last paisa
and left behind only his name
I'd have deleted
Lingeswaran too
But since it is
Lord Shiva's name...!
So I shortened it to Lingaa
Eat, man
Don't gape
You don't respect
your grandpa one bit
Come to my village, you'll then
realize how people worship him
Money brings name,
fame and the whole works
But when you're in trouble,
no one will lend you a hand
Holds good from mythological Karna
to film comedian N.S Krishnan
All you want is money
Isn't that why you steal?
Tell me how much
I'll give you
You thought the word 'money' will
make him flash his 'close up' smile?
Money it seems!
Okay, how much
will you give?
Don't be cheap
Listen girl, I'll get involved
in a job only if my heart says so
Only if I've shed my blood
and sweat, I'll accept money
But stealing is
no sweat for a thief!
Dear, ear, eye, nose, mouth, limbs,
heart and brain work as a combo...
...only when it comes to stealing
Any job you can do
and sleep in peace
But this is the only
sleepless profession!
They won't understand
Zip-zoom!
I haven't finished eating
Stuff the rest
in your pocket
Lingaa...please
You didn't let us
finish our meal
We are all down
to the last penny
But style we have in plenty!
Why?
For getting us out
Can I hug you?
Will you come just once
to my village, please?
He'll tell only once
You should take the hint
Shouldn't bug him like someone
pestering for an insurance policy!
Job over?
Zip-zoom!
'How can I take him home?'
Oh gawd!
My chain?
Give Rs 8000
Who should give?
Me give
Say 'I will give'
Teach this moneylender
to speak proper Tamil
As if he'll ever learn!
Bargain and close the deal
8000 bucks won't even
last for 4 days, Sait
If you flick chains from
modern girls, that's all
How do you know
she's a modern girl?
Because they prefer
chains light as feather
We would love to
flick chunky jewelry
But such decked up women don't
show up even in a grocery store
Will your wife be covered
in jewels head to toe?
Oh! She loves wearing them
But all covering
Imitation only
Why do you give her
such cheap stuff?
As if you don't
have real gold?
I have a gold mine!
But too many thieves around
Not you, man
He meant himself
Here...all yours
Why stress him out
for no reason?
Lingaa, why team up with these
petty thieves and settle for less?
How do I hit the jackpot?
They all wear fake gold
I must only target a bank
You can't do all that
Even high tech men get caught
Listen, for 3 days
in a 5 star hotel...
...Lalitha jewellery is holding
an exhibition and sale
Just 1 necklace flicked from there
he will give you 15 million bucks
Huh?!
I will give you
That's a whammy
1 necklace is 15 million?
That's not just gold
Gold necklace
studded with emerald
Wait, Sait
He's twirling his gray cells
to see how to pull it off
Is emerald that expensive?
Of course
Besides, the necklace
is an antique piece
We don't fancy aunties
Lingaa, before teaching me Tamil...
...help these morons to
speak proper English
- Come this side
- Yes, my lord
Tomorrow Lingaa coming with
that 15 million antique piece
It isn't a walkover
like you think
Nothing in life comes easy
But with effort
nothing is impossible
Zip-zoom!
We thought it over
for a looooong time
- What's your place?
- Solaiyur
We decided to visit
your village, Solaiyur
We cancelled Chilikanur
So do we have a choice?
Now it gets a place
in your heart, huh?
Otherwise they'll get us, no?
Only because we like it
we decided to visit
Don't kill us with
questions, please
Take us to your place
Oh! Are you also
coming with us?
How can a king travel
without his ministers, dear?
- Bro...?
- Boss!
Where are the other two?
They've gone to
their hometown
You mean both of them
ran out of town?!
How did you find out?
The financier got caught...
...thanks to me
You black sheep!
The moneylender got
his due for his misdeeds
You'll pay for yours
soon enough
Why this venomous
vengeance against us?
Not vengeance, man...plan!
My plan is to take
the king's heir to Solaiyur
She isn't even a female!
Let's go somewhere else
Zip-zoom!
Don't you know?
What?
That I'm a female
Why are you touching him?
Hands off!
Don't think you can attack
He's high voltage
You'll be reduced to ashes
Hey...no touch
2 feet gap
What about no gap
near the cupboard?
That was situational
You fell into my trap
This is also situational
You fell into my web!
How?
I've called the police
They'll be here in half hour
They'll bruise us
black and blue!
We won't be
able to take it
Then come without
putting up your price?
Just nod your head
Please say 'yes'
Okay
Aren't you getting
too taken in?
Okay...okay
Long live the king!
Even if you say 'no'...
...looks like the people
won't let go of you!
I meant the respect
they're flooding you with
Greetings, sir
Welcome
This village is showering us
with so much respect
Not for 'us'
But for the lead
All the grandmothers
of this village are here
Your grandpa must have
been quite a player!
He squandered
his wealth...
...and made me a pauper
instead of prince!
Just walk along with me
Wherever he walks
he's got style-
Hype it up some more!
Greetings
Everybody is so happy
by your arrival here
He's a politician
from my village
He won by a huge margin
in the previous election
But I didn't get your vote!
- Can we click a photo?
- Be handy if cops get us
Raja, I have a very
important appointment
- I'll take leave
- Please...okay
Greetings, sir
I'm a poet
Our clan's custom is to sing
in praise of the king who'll reward us
I want to follow
that custom today
What does he want?
It seems he has begged
by singing for generations!
To beg is to take
with permission
That isn't wrong
My ancestors have said
'to steal is a crime'
How does he know about us?
That's what puzzles me
Please sing
If he sings
you must pay him
- Got money?
- He won't ask!
'What will he bestow?
What will he endow?'
'Wondering though'
'He'll shower gold
Lavish gifts untold'
'If 'not enough' I declare
He'll pile more on a platter'
'If even these don't suffice
his own self our king will sacrifice'
'Even he'll forsake
his life for our sake'
'Lord of compassion!'
Just throw him
and squash him flat
Poet!
Old man!!
Kothandam, I left my gold bracelet
in the car, please bring it for me
Shall I sing another
song in praise of you?
Kots...come here
He wants to sing
another song it seems
Please sing
'When shade is necessary
nearby will be a tree'
'When enmity erupts
a support will show up'
'After the dark night
dawns sunlight'
'There is a bright future
for each and every creature'
Boring bee! Everyone
has a future, do you?
Yes, I can see it
right before my eyes
Kothandam, I've kept a Rado watch
along with my bracelet, bring that too
Sir, another small song
Kothandam, please wait
Akon hasn't finished singing
Last song
Shall I?
Good...go ahead
'Beautiful'
You?
Not you
'You are beautiful'
'Your walk is breathtaking'
'Your laughter is spellbinding'
'Tamil you speak is endearing'
'Only handsome man living'
'Most stylish man ever'
'You're Mr World forever'
He's got epilepsy
Hold him
Kothandam, along with the bracelet
and watch there's a Rs 1000 bundle
- Please get that too
- That's Rs 100000
Let it be
Bring that and take
the car back home
Would be great if I could
receive it from you
He won't come
Hasn't he gone
only up to the car?
No...no, he'll drive
straight back home
Then all that you wanted to give?
- Poet...?
- That's me...me
When you sang
in praise of me...
...how happy I was
You should be
When I said I'd give you
bracelet, watch, money...
...how happy you were?
Of course!
Then we are quits!
I never expected this from you
You'll borrow songs written by laureates
Kannadasan, Vaali and Vairamuthu
And I should pay you, huh?
Get lost
Sir...!
Grandpa, you need not
have any doubts
He's our king's grandson
I have all the proof needed, from
his birth certificate to DNA test
I don't need
any of those, dear
His face is proof enough
He is from that king's lineage
The same laughter
Welcome, my son
You should open the temple
the next Full moon night
Shall I go ahead
with the preparations?
No rush, grandpa
We were planning to
rest here for a while
You can stay here
for many years
This is your place
This place is ours?
How many acres?
Thanks a lot
Son, I need to talk
to you in private
Shall we go in?
No need alone
Whatever it is
we can discuss here
It's very important
He's calling you in, right?
He might show you
some bureau
Check if we can line our pocket!
Signal from inside
Owning such a big bungalow,
why do you work in a TV channel?
If you rent it for a TV soap
your bank balance will overflow
What can I do
in this village?
At least in the city I can
check out a few handsome hulks
Whaaat...?
You go out on dates?
Why do you pounce
like a monkey for that?
So many girls end up
in a drunken stupor
After all she's only dating!
This village is under the impression
the 'linga' in the temple is ordinary
Let me share with you something
even my granddaughter doesn't know
It is made of emerald
Made with the most
precious stone
After this temple is opened,
with tight security...
...you should be the one to
announce this fact to our folks
Okay
This is a big matter, sir
Here, sir
Thanks a ton
You've saved me
from a huge crisis
This is life and death for you
That is even bigger for me
Look over there
Next week, celebrating
'Cancer awareness'...
...I'll ensure these huge
balloons float in the sky
When people are busy
looking up in awe...
...we'll finish our job below
- Got it?
- Understood, sir
It will definitely
be done, sir
'Linga' studded with emeralds, huh?
Yeah...!
If an emerald necklace
is worth 15 million...
...won't an emerald linga
fetch about 15C?
15C and 21C are all buses
parked in Mandaiveli terminus!
Cheapo!
Stop thinking at cow dung level
Junk piece!
It will be worth
more than 300 millions
"Cash, dough, dollar, rupee, money"
But we have to wait
for the Full moon night
You'll wait patiently till 10 p.m
for the wine shop to open
Can't you wait for this?
We can lift it only after
the temple is opened
We'll do it today
We'll do it right now
And then we can
scoot from this place
Correct
Ideas and chips are same
If you delay
they lose the crunch!
Zip-zoom now
Hello!
Your latest plan
is to steal what?
Linga-
Don't blabber, she didn't
eavesdrop properly!
We're telling Lingaa about
your height, weight and bright-
And the sun
rises in the west!
- She isn't believing me
- Then say it so she'll buy it
We were discussing who the chap is
back in the city you intend hitting on!
As if he doesn't know
Tell and then touch
No time to announce
It's a spontaneous gesture
Heard that?
Even the stiff one
bites the dust!
You angle to tangle
I'm off to bed
I'm also not sleepy
Let's just stroll
around the village
Why choose this time of night?
That's the fashion now
Day is too much disturbance
Yeah, it's like
A.R.Rahman style
But remember not to go
near the dam or temple
Why...why is that?
I believe ghosts
frequent that place
'Smash you with a slipper'
'Bash you with
a broomstick'
My father used to say
ghosts will fly hearing this
Yeah!
Zip-zoom?
Landing in this remote corner...
...building a temple
with an emerald 'linga'
...if your grandpa had chosen Madras
our job would've been eas-
Don't yell
Lord Shiva, guide us to-
Why do you carry this yellow bag
like a gypsy who tells the future?
It's a retribution bag
If I carry it,
no ghost can come near us
Liar! You're with us all the time
Your route is truly unique
All-ways!
Check if the wood is strong
Are you intending to
make it into door jambs?
Get in soon
Climb up fast
Stop harping
like a bus conductor
Who is that jumping into
the temple compound?
Come fast
Wait, my yellow bag
has got caught
Come
It is so ancient
What if someone else
has stolen it before us?
Why do you invite
bad omen?
We've taken the trouble of
scaling this wall, we'll get it
- Get a stone
- Here
Hit...hit
Hit harder
Are you breaking a betel nut?
It's a lock, give it
one strong blow
Success!
Move aside
Did God know we were coming and
latched the door on the inside?
Let's push barefeet
with sanctity!
Well done
Is spider man living here?
So many cobwebs?
This temple doesn't look like
it has been shut for 70 years
More like 700 years
Lingaa, this doesn't look
like an emerald 'linga'
Then Abraham Lincoln or what?
Bring water from that well
You call the officers
I'll go and call the villagers
Before you bring them
they'll escape
What to do now?
Snake!
Do something
How did you pull this miracle?
Just one glare and you made
the snake disappear
Are you such a brave man?
Enough of pressing your foot
on the sewing machine pedal
No other go
I can hear the alarm
Come...come quick
Snake has slithered away
Come...come
Watch out
Your head
Bend down
Who sounded the siren?
See if we can escape that way
Look there
You look this side
Did you see
face to face?
We both saw
Circle the temple
Go all around
Like crows diving for dried fish,
they are zeroing in on us
No way out
We are dead meat
They will skin us alive
Are we boiled eggs
to be peeled?
- Arrogant ass!
- Don't bite me
Bro is grinding
his gray cells
He'll come up with something
Wait and watch
Move aside
Give way
Greetings, sir
Who saw?
We did, sir
Do you know who jumped?
Our king's heir who has come
from out of town and his 2 stooges
You nincompoop!
He's of royal lineage
He's the grandson of
the one who built this temple
Why do you get angry?
If we open the door
we'll know the truth
Let's do that
If you give us permission
we can open the temple door
If the heir whom I thought
should open this door...
...is now a suspect,
what's the point in waiting?
Open the door
Let the entire village lend a hand
Come, let's open
Push...push
Push harder
Push some more
'From His thick forest-like hair agleam
and matted, flows a clear stream'
'In His consecrated neck hanging
is a splendid garland of serpent hissing'
'Damad damad damad damad
To this sound of the drum'
He danced His divine Tandava
May He shower prosperity, Lord Shiva!
'From His thick forest-like hair agleam
and matted, flows a clear stream'
'In His consecrated neck hanging
is a splendid garland of serpent hissing'
'Damad damad damad damad
To this sound of the drum'
'He danced His divine Tandava
May He shower happiness, Lord Shiva!'
'In the pan of His matted hair agleam'
Praise be to Lord Shiva
the destoryer of all evil
'In the well of his hair-locks
Celestial Ganges st(r)eams across'
'Dhagad dhagad dhagad flames
on His forehead's surface'
'With crescent moon
as jewel on His head'
'May I find joy always
in His constant Grace'
You gave me such a huge honor
I won't forget it in this birth
and all my births to come
This village has been blessed
even more than you, son
Someone said
he committed a misdeed
We were the ones
who made the mistake
We planned a Full moon night
to open Lord Shiva's temple
That was our biggest mistake
What's today?
'Holy night of Lord Shiva'
That's the day the Lord
married his consort Shakthi
That's why we were
made to open it tonight
Even if what you say is true...
...why jump over the wall
to open the door?
If they had told us
we'd have done this...
...in a grand, religious manner
He did so because the temple
closed by the entire village...
...should be opened
in the same way
You may be unaware
Or some might have died
with this secret to their grave
But he knows his grandfather
King Lingeswara only too well
Just like him, one day
the king too came here
He came to our village
from some unknown place
Everyone is part of
a looting gang, huh?
No, we are freedom fighters
A brave man is one
who attacks his enemy
Not one who loots
Freedom is when one
struggles for his country
Not for your house
We are also patriots
fighting for our country
Then why did you jump on to
a running train at midnight?
To kidnap you
Who?
We came to kidnap
a British Collector
But I never expected him
to be an Indian
Only the unexpected
is always interesting
What do you gain by
kidnapping the Collector?
I'll hold him as hostage and free
our imprisoned freedom fighters
If you get them freed...?
We'll release the Collector
If they are arrested again?
Will you kidnap
another Collector?
Fool! If you're truly patriotic
instead of being so stupid...
...join the real freedom fighters
and support their cause
If you want the non violent
'ahimsa' way, follow Gandhi
If you want to take up arms
join Subash Chandra Bose's force
Use your brain
Don't wear a hood
and fool yourselves
Go on...move it
Greetings, sir
I'm the Sub Collector
of this district
Lingeswaran
- How do you do?
- Fine, sir
Johnson?
Leave them
Let them go
No, sir
You remember
all that I told you
Careful
Don't get beaten up again
How far is Solaiyur?
6 miles, sir
Stop
Stop the train!
Stop the train please
This has become
a daily ritual here
Move aside, man
Blocking our way
Wonder what trouble
they will cause now!
Yov! Bone marrow!
Why didn't you stop?
What, man?
You're also huffing and
puffing just like your train?
Why did you come early today?
Aiyo! This is the right time
Oh! So you come
late daily, huh?
Don't mess it up
You'll make me lose my job
Yov! Start the train, man
You'll move from here, huh?
Try leaving without
giving us water!
My dear girl!
I can't give water
Collector is watching me
So what? Why should
we be bothered?
Each of us will
give you 2 tapiocas
Just give us on the sly
and 'chug-chug' away
I have a family
to take care of
My job is at stake
Listen to me
- Collector sir
- Gawd! He has seen me
Ask him to give us water
Okaaaay, sir
You'll break your insides,
bone marrow!
This is for you,
Bag-o-bones
My boss is watching
Collector sir
'Tanks' a lot
No mention
Want a tapioca?
Thank you
Naughty girl!
Oh my Lord Easwara!
Greetings, sir
I'm the village chief of Solaiyur
This is Sammandham,
once a wealthy man
He's Kavi Bharathi
Big shot in this village
He is-
A very good afternoon
to everybody
Come to the point
We have handed over countless
petitions expressing our troubles
We even sent telegrams
But it has all been in vain
If we submit
100 petitions...
...Collector will come
He'll meet all of us
And promise to look
into it later and disappear
They were all British
And they didn't lift a finger
You seem to be one of us
We are sure this time
we will be lucky
As a Collector
whatever I can...
...I'll do my best
Tell me what your problem is
Water is our problem
See the river over there
Look how dry it is
This is how it is
9 months in a year
We have to walk 6 to 8 miles
daily to fetch drinking water
Otherwise, know the rail engine?
Half the crowd will rush to
get hot water from the engine
Suddenly rains from somewhere
will cause a deluge in the river
The flood will wash
our village away
The boy standing there
lost his father in the flood
This young girl
lost her husband
The flood will even wash away
the goats we rear for our livelihood
In this drought season
we won't have water
Fields will be dry
No rainfall
But hunger alone is here
to stay in our village
In a nutshell,
we are at a loss...
...whether this river is
with water or without
My God! An entire family
has fallen into a huge pit
That isn't a pit
It's an old well
Poor souls!
Often our folks are forced
to commit suicide
Bharathi! Imagine their anguish
to end their lives like this
God knows how many more
will die in this famine?
In a state of total despair
unable to survive without food...
...they preferred
to end their lives
This is the plight
of our village
This kind of farmer's suicide
isn't a rare incident
It is a daily occurence
Rather than live in misery
if we ask them to find work outside...
...they refuse saying
they were born here
To die in hunger like this
what does it matter which soil?
Our pleas fall only on deaf ears
Wonder who will take total
responsibility for this death toll
We don't know who will come
and prevent all this, sir
Hereafter, not even 1 life will be
lost due to famine in this village
I won't let it happen
Hasn't he eaten?
Not yet
Sir, why haven't you
had your dinner?
If I skip 1 meal in a day
it isn't the end of the world
Only if one is unable to
eat even once a day...!
'If an individual is denied food
we'll destroy this world, we would'
We have to build a dam
for the people of Solaiyur
Yes, it is a dam
I want to build for
the people of Solaiyur
Damn it!
Mr Lingeswaran, you got no idea
the cost of constructing a dam
Not one of the Collectors
present here is aware
Even I don't know
But you definitely do!
Why?
Because, you haven't passed
just the Indian Civil Service
But an efficient engineer who has
studied Civil engineering in Cambridge
Yes, sir, I know as a civil engineer
what the total expenditure will be
So how will we get
such a huge amount?
Why can't you build it
with the taxes collected in India?
How does the British Govt
benefit by doing so?
If we block the waters which
would otherwise reach the sea...
...and build a dam, how fertile
the surrounding land will become
Don't you know that
as a Collector?
And are you unaware of
the increased income you'll get?
And how much tax to
levy on the farmer...
...should an Indian teach
the British Govt, huh?
We are fully aware
No necessity for you
to teach our Government
Mr Lingeswaran, first approve
my plan that you objected
You see, if you laid a train track
from Madurai to Cochin...
...Govt.can see returns
Won't that cost money?
It will, but-
In spite of it, at once
you'll gain multifold, right?
That's why you built
all these railroads in India
From gold, diamond, emerald, ruby,
coral, pearl, lapis lazuli to pepper...
...countless products you planned to
smuggle from here to your country
So you laid these tracks
Or else to enjoy with
your family in hill stations
I am sorry
As Madurai Collector
I can't approve this
Yes, we won't sanction
the approval either
You're also working
for the British Govt
So don't plan on what
to give the people here
Think of what you can
take to Buckingham!
In fact you should think of what
you'll take when you finally go up
You are letting
your tongue run!
Yes, wishing to do some good for
my motherland, I'm talking too much
You have to get
your salary from us
Don't forget that
I work as a Collector
for the British Govt
Not for your salary
I want to serve the people
For the joy it gives me
And for my satisfaction
What if we dismiss you
from your post as Collector?
What's the use of being
useless to everyone?
Why should you dismiss me?
I'll myself resign
By resigning
your Collector's job...
...you've already failed
I haven't failed
I've just postponed
my success!
I know where and how to get
permission to build the dam
See you soon
No use trusting this Govt
Even the newly appointed Collector
has resigned his job it seems
Only God can
save us hereafter
My...fabulous!
What a palace!!
Do you want one like this?
What a joke?
Hey Janet, never ever
underestimate me
Oh! Bless you
- Madam?
- Not for me, thank you
That is fantastic
It's Italian, sir
Sir, please come with me
Collector, sir, he is
the landlord of Rayakottai
Nice to meet you
Evening
Governor is on the way
Be alert
Your Excellency!
Maharaja is coming
Hey! He's Collector
of Madurai, right?
Not anymore
He was the Collector of Madurai
But always a king!
Ladies and gentlemen
and my dear friends
As you all know, His Highness
the Maharaja of Kodiyur...
Raja Lingeswaran has so graciously
invited us here tonight for dinner and...
...celebration of his birthday
And to him I wish
a very long life
Everything is made
of silver and gold
He really is a very rich man
Yes, I've just
come to know
Well! I have been here
more than 10 years
I know Tamil
Just a few words
But I understand it very well
Was this your father's place
before it was yours?
So you are following
in your father's footsteps?
Actually my ambition was
to become an engineer
So my dad sent me
to study in London
But his last wish was
for me to study ICS
And become a Collector
Why ICS?
My father used to
tell me quite often
Our ancestors had a lot of power
when they were kings
They could do what they wanted
for the people without constraints
But in your British rule
only Collectors have the power
So he wanted me to become
a Collector and I studied ICS
Then why did you resign?
I couldn't do what I wanted
Go on, what did you
want to do? Tell me
I think this isn't the right
place and time to discuss
It's always the right place and time
to discuss things between friends, right?
With my resources I want to
do a lot of good for my people
Who is going to object?
This isn't about objection
I want your permission
What do you want
my permission for?
I intend building a dam
for the people of Solaiyur
You are going to build
this dam on your own
I have enough resources
to spend on my own and build
Permission granted
Thank you very much
I'm really honoured
on my birthday
God bless you, my friend
Thanks a lot
Congratulations
Excuse me, sir
What is it, Lawrence?
If an individual builds a dam
in our British Govt...
...that's an insult to us, sir
Do you actually think he can
build a dam by himself?
Impossible, sir
Then why bother
arguing about it?
Right now, all these rajas
are watching us closely
Already we are facing problems
with Gandhi in the north
Why create a new one here?
We also need
India's support...
...in the 2nd world war
which has just begun
We need the support of
each and every king on this table
We can't oppose any of them
You understand he'll never
build that dam, don't you?
Absolutely not
Your Highness, my man here,
Collector Lawrence, tomorrow morning...
...will bring to you
the orderyou desire
That's what we were discussing
We didn't consent, so you used
your birthday dinner as an excuse...
...and in a devious, cunning manner
got the Governor to agree, right?
Didn't you come
into India as traders...
...with East India company
as a smoke screen
...and deviously deceived
the kings here to loot our country?
Was what I did worse than that,
Mr Lawrence Hunter?
Anyway permission alone
isn't enough, Mr Lingeswaran
Without our support let me see
how an Indian can build a dam?
Haven't you seen
the Grand Anaicut in Trichy?
King Karikala Chola
built it 2000 years ago
Look at Kodiveri dam
in Coimbatore
It is strong even today
That was when
they ruled as kings
All that a king needs
is the support of his subjects
Always by God's grace I have
my people's support in all ways
I don't care who supports you
You can't build that dam alone
It's a challenge
To achieve a goal
supporters will be in plenty
But one man as enemy will be
the reason to make it happen
You'll be that reason
to finish building this dam
It will never happen
Wait and see
Is he coming?
No, he isn't
Coming?
Not yet!
Hey, give it to me
You're not lucky at all
I'll take a look
Give it to me
How long I've been
asking for your earrings
Give that to me first
Why are you always
eyeing my earrings?
My father wears studs
But he refuses
to buy me a pair
Okay, when my father
gets me another pair...
...I'll give this
to you, okay?
- Promise?
- I swear
That's half a promise
You didn't pinch!
- Is he coming?
- Yes, coming
- Coming...what's coming?
- Some 'pleasure' is coming
'Pleasure'?
Horse carriage
that the British use
Oh! See who's in it
Remember the Collector
we saw in the station
He's coming
Why is the Collector coming?
- Hey, Collector is coming
- Oh my God, Collector is coming!
Stop...!
Stop the car
Boss, some girl is running
in the middle of the road
- Stop...stop
- Yes, I see her
Please stop
Stop...!
Bharathi, stone
Oh gawd!
Looks like someone
set this nail deliberately
Look out...water!
I showered
in the morning!
Bharathi, I'm talking
about being flooded
And you are simply
walking away like that?
I heard some noise
Let me go and check
Our boys would've used
explosives to dig a well
Why waste time?
You cleaned the car that was
covered in dust in seconds?!
Drenched completely
Hmmm...who was it meant for?
- Math teacher
- For what?
Because they didn't
do the sums properly...
...look how he has hit them
Hey, show him
Seems quite a hard blow
Bruises are a ripe purple!
- Why didn't you show?
- Why don't you...?
- Chee...!
- Likewise
You saw the bruises
That's why
We did this to teach
a lesson to the teacher
- So...whose idea was it?
- Bharathi
You got the brain
of an engineer!
Lord Easwara!
Hey! How can you call
our boss by his name?
Good lord!
Didn't I tell you the Collector
is a good man and won't get angry?
Who told you...?
Of course you'll be punished!
Sir, hold tight
You seem to be a pro
What's that village?
Palaiyur
Rain water has started
flowing into the river
I don't know when
this place will get flooded
I thin-
Do as I told you
When you do things on the sly,
you do it happily, right?
You intend building a dam?
That would cost a king's ransom!
How much are
they spending?
Permission is theirs
Expenditure is mine
Cooperation is your contribution!
You'll be doing
our people a huge favor
Why won't they cooperate?
We'll take care of that!
Thank you very much
By the way, how will you
collect that huge an amount?
I'm the only son of
king Parameswara of Kodaiyur
Lord Easwara!
Does that mean
you are a king?
I haven't come here as a king
But as an engineer
to build this dam
You are a king not only
because of your wealth
Even your heart
is made of gold
Finally good time has
dawned on our village
You've got the king himself
in the palm of your hand
You're something else!
Sir, because of the rain
the whole place is flooded
Won't it be difficult
to build the dam now?
We must divert the river
and then start work
Won't it be too laborious?
If you want your wish fulfilled
you got to sweat it out
- Greetings, Your Highness
- Come...welcome
This is my only child
Mani Bharathi
She wants to work here
Will you take her in?
A very naughty girl
I've seen her!
But what work can she do?
Household chores
Help the cook
She can do all that
But she's a teenager
And this is a small village
Won't people here gossip
about this arrangement?
I'm a follower of Bharathi,
Tamil poet and social reformer
Like he visualized, I raised
my daughter as a liberated girl
I don't care what
the villagers will think
If you got any problems
let me know!
She can work here
as long as you're fine with it
'Danks'
This was built for the employees
of landlord of Rayakottai to stay
You intend staying here?
I've also come here
only to work
But you're a king, used to
a royal life in the palace
Whatever heights
we may reach...
...while sleeping we occupy
the space of only our height!
Excellent...!
I'll take leave
Sami Pillai...?
- Bharathi?
- Father?
This is another level!
Behave accordingly
You're the only girl here
to have studied the most
Let that not make you
high-and-mighty
I won't let it go to
my head, father
Make sure you don't spoil
my icon, poet Bharathi's name!
Are you the only girl here
who has studied the maximum?
Of course, my father sent me
to a faaaar off school of repute
- What have you studied?
- 4th grade!
Hey, hit it hard
Bang on its head!
Sir, when can I join work?
- Your wish
- 'Danks'
Hey! Why are you taking
your own sweet time walking?
He feeds you thrice a day
and also pays you, buck up!
Why are you looking at my face?
Paint properly...paint...paint
What a slipshod job!
It's still so dirty
Wash it with water
'Was...was'
Sir, palm jaggery coffee
-Thank you very much
- No 'mansion'
This is a flood zone
If we build the dam here
water will get collected here
Sir...coffee
My God!!
What have you done?
Do you know how
important this plan is?
You've become
too playful these days
I don't want you
working for me
Clear off
From now on
just serve food
I don't even want food
Get out
I'm starving!
Sami Pillai...Sami Pillai
Everyone is fast asleep
Where do I find food now?
Wow...Bharathi!
Steamed rice cake is soooper
'Tanks'
We also agree
'Puttu' is real yummy
Can 'inside' coming?!
In this whole village, only
my 'puttu' has a special flavor
My father swears by it
Hey hold...hold
My plan...grab all the papers
Catch the papers
3, 4, 5
8, 11, 12
Sir, forget it
We'll draw a different one
That was a crucial plan
I have to measure
all over again
Easier said than done
Go back to work
What do you know?
Sir, I didn't miss out
even a single plan
There are 38 in total
- Thank you
- No 'mansion'
Oh! Important plan
Catch it...get hold of it
39...39
Catch...over there
How are you today
Mr Lingeswaran?
Fine, thank you
I came this way to hunt
Looks like you're also hunting!
Just to see how
you'll build that dam...
...I got transferred to Madurai
By deceiving the same Governor
Oh! I see
But doesn't seem like
you're working on any dam
I think you're only working
on wooing this girl
You're doing a good job
Marry her, she's very pretty
Thank you very much
'Marry her
She's very pretty'
"Oh king, Your majesty
I'm not the only beauty"
"But unrivalled leader you are"
"Yes, you are our Super star"
"You wished to seize stars teeny-weeny
You ravished this silver moon readily"
"Enamored by stars teensy-weensy
you devoured this bright moon headily"
"Lion-hearted untold
Will you touch my life with your soul?"
"Your eyes, pierce eagle-eyed
in search of flowers denied"
"Your hands, fingers unbidden
explore for roots hidden"
"I relished plucking stars itsy-bitsy
I ravished this silver moon greedily"
"Sir Galahad the gallant knight!
Will you touch my soul with your life?"
"Bold, blue-blooded beau
Blend my soul with your life, will you?"
"From tusks of elephants five score
ivory armor on your chest you wore"
"With my domes I invaded your armor
to plunder your heart with my ardor"
"Southern flower untouched
Cave island, honey drenched"
"Milky white swan you are
I'm your hungry lover"
"Pot of desire nectarous
Pearled waist sensuous"
"With your bosoms beckoning
spread me a feast, my queen"
"You relished plucking stars itsy-bitsy
You ravished this butter moon greedily"
"Dauntless in body and mind
My life with yours will you bind?"
"Snow-white buds the sun hasn't seen
hand them in my hand, my sunbeam"
"Conqueror of 7 lands and seas, this king
craved for your pinky toe, imagine!"
"From basics to base 4
let's enjoy an encore"
"Let our souls venture
to the summit of surrender"
"Evolved scripture
Beloved sculpture"
"Let's revel in rhapsody
Most revered majesty"
"Besotted by stars teensy-weensy
I feasted on this full moon hungrily"
"Besotted by stars teensy-weensy
you feasted on this gilded moon fully"
"Courageous to the core
Will you touch your life with my soul?"
"My daring dashing beau
Merge our life and soul, will you?"
Bless us, boss
May you be happy
What's this, Sami Pillai?
Her people are hell bent
on ruling our country
I thought I could overrule
at least one and show her hell!
So I married her
What did that girl say?
Get back to work!
Not 1 or 2...I've spoken
with all our village folks
Not even in his dreams
can he construct this dam
You might think I'm lying
By this time our people would have
chased that king out of this place
What if they change their mind?
No, they won't
I've set up our men
in every village around here
That's why our budget
exceeded a little bit
Bring me the good news
that the king has left this place
I'll even bequest an entire
village in your name
It's all in cash-
Subburaju, why is everyone
smiling from ear to ear?
You've chased the king
out of this place, right?
Come and look for yourself
Rangan
Murugan...go
Palanisamy...go
Maintain the queue
Ramasamy
Muthaiya
Yes...go
Ganesan...?
Kuppusamy...?
What happened?
We came just like you said
to chase him away from here
True, if we build
a dam here...
...not 30 but 36 villages
to the east will submerge
That's what I've been
surveying all these days
Not to worry, 8000 acres of land
in the west belongs to this man
Landlord of Rayakottai
My childhood friend
He has offered you
this huge extent of land
I thank him for
his good heart!
I'm not good hearted
He is golden hearted!
I'm not giving
this land free of cost
He has already paid me!
Whoever has land in the east,
he has asked me to transfer...
...the same extent of land
in the west in all their names!
If we construct a dam in the east,
then in your land in the west...
...you can harvest
for 3 seasons in a year!
Thank you very much
Thank you so much
But on 1 condition!
You must transfer in my name
your eastern land that will be flooded
Only when I own
all that land...
...can I build the dam
without any hassle!
You don't have to
donate it free of cost
I'll pay you twice
today's value
Are you willing?
You're giving us sugar cane
and paying us to eat it!
Will anyone refuse?
Of course we are willing
Aren't you okay with this?
- We accept
- We agree
Hey! Stop it
All that can't be done
That land belongs
to my grandfather
How can I transfer it to you?
All that can't be done
Tell him you can't
Listen, he's giving
his land to replace ours
And also offering to pay us
twice the value of our land
Why?
For our village to prosper
That's going over your head!
This is my ancestral property
I refuse outright
Is the welfare of
this village important?
Or your dead grandfather?
You're keeping quiet while
he's letting his tongue run
You better accept it
Otherwise the whole village will unite
and destroy your entire lineage
- What, man?
- Of course
Say 'yes'
Or else we'll pack
all of you to hell
Lord Easwara...!
If we had protested further...
...our own folks
would've burnt us alive!
That's why we also
accepted their money
He beat us with his money
You can beat me
with your slipper!
What's the point
in beating you?
Dammit!
True! All dam's fault!
But he can't be stopped
The dam will be
built for sure
Lord Easwara...!
83, 84
Look at this
It's pathetic!
Break it
Break it real hard
How can you ask
students to help?
Stop this
Get up
You should study
"Indian...join me en masse
to build anew Himalayas"
"Youngster, bright and bold
Let's turn rainwater into gold"
"Tiny drops of water make a river
That droplet in history is your avatar"
"Lend a hand, strong man
Your right hand will be the dam"
"Prop mountains, stop the river
let's build a scientific cloister"
"Shall we unite and plan
as one caste and clan?"
"Shall we in solidarity
unite as a sea of humanity?"
"Let our villages converge
With enthusiasm plunge"
"Revel in a golden period
Joy widespread"
"Indian...join me en masse
to create a brand new Himalayas"
Hey ladies! You can't build this dam
even if you become grandmothers
Hit you hard!
Hit you if you don't
wear sandals at work!
Only iron helmets
will protect you
Wear it...secure it firmly
Our king
When he comes to
the court chamber
This was on his birthday
Boss...sir...?
- Hey...hey...hey?
- Aiyo! No 'mansion'
Subbu, ask them
what they want
At once, sir
Eat well
What do you want?
Shall I serve you some gravy?
That's why
I warned you!
I told you, before starting
a project of this magnitude...
...it's our practice
to sacrifice a goat
Do we sacrifice for famine
and also to eradicate famine?
Well said!
Shouldn't there be
a limit for superstition?
It's safer to sacrifice
If you kill 100 goats,
villagers will be happy!
Even if we kill you,
the whole village will rejoice!
Shut your gob
Listen, if we build this dam
without any mishap...
...I'll build a temple
for this village
- There won't be any hitch
- Glad to hear this, sir
Why are you back?
Go and take rest!
It's just a small wound
I'll get back to work
"Human race without water
can't survive...so volunteer!"
"Change won't take place
without human species"
"Come out into the light
and like a tiger fight"
"Shall we join forces
as one family, no fences?"
"Shall we bond and grow
as people, no high or low?"
"As bonded beasts forever
will we live hereafter?"
"Golden period to treasure"
Don't show your
British arrogance here!
Go
Come here
Serve here
Hey Shanmugam?
- Yes, sir?
- Come here
Planning to get
your daughter married?
She's still young
What's the rush?
- But she's in a rush!
- What are you saying?
Look over there
- Get lost
- Don't play the fool
They are just kids
playing with each other
And you're making
a mountain out of a mole-
If you get them both married,
you won't have any hassles later
How can you even say this?
You know very well that boy
is from a caste lower than ours
Oh big deal!
How can caste be
a criteria these days?
Look there
From barbarians to gypsies...
...castes, high and low
They are eating together
without any discrimination
Can you differentiate
by caste, creed or religion?
In those days even wells were
segregated according to castes
Aren't we building the dam
over there without hierarchy?
Tomorrow when we get
water from that source...
...people from all castes
will go and fetch water
We will all work together
for our daily existence?
How come caste comes into play
only when you start a family?
Hey Vasantha!
- Get up from there
- Father?
You brainless nitwit!
You are eating along with
a boy from a lower caste
Are you all bird brained?
Sit according to
your caste and eat
If you still want to eat,
ask our caste to eat first
Then serve food to
other lesser mortals
Hey! You think we are
beggars to eat leftovers?
You stupid numskull!
Your skull is the thickest
Hey! Shut up
- People, get up
- He's demeaning us
If they have an ounce
of pride, let them go
If I send a couple of men like you
behind Gandhi, we'll rule India...
...hassle free
for another century
Not 100 years, sir
but 1000 years-
Aiyo! Madam is coming!
What the hell is this
scoundrel always doing here?
Not 'Gounder', my lady
I belong to another caste!
Sir, how come there isn't
a single soul here?
Where have they gone?
Things are strewn all around
Bring it
Listen to me carefully
This is your life
This is the progress
for your children
This is your future,
livelihood, labor, food...
...clothing, shelter,
happiness, everything
Now, this very moment,
to build this temple and dam...
...will you lend me your hand?
Or do you want to die
of hunger and starvation?
And turn this village
into a graveyard?
Decide for yourself!
One more announcement
I don't want any Mudaliyar to
come forward to build this dam
Nor do I want Naidus
Chettiars, Gounders, Iyers,
lower caste, higher caste
Hindus, Christians, Muslims
Not a single soul
Beyond the barrier
of caste and religion...
...if one of you
in this gathering
...if he or she is an Indian
...and if the Indian blood
is running in your veins
...I want only that Indian
to come forward
I don't want anyone else
Sami Pillai, pull up
a chair for me
I'll also sit
Do I have to sit facing
these dumb people?
Turn it around
the other side!

'Pongalo Pongal'
'May your life brim with prosperity

Sir, please forgive me
Plenty of events happened
when you weren't here
What happened?
Sir, now I understand why
millions follow Mahatma Gandhi
That king has a weapon
more powerful than your cannon
I'm talking about man power!
Sir, you'll shoot something and
my people will burn me to ashes!
Hey fool...!
You British villain!
Step forward
and take a look
Satisfied?
You shot this flag
Shoot now
Let's see how many
flags you can shoot
That's an Indian for you!

Shall we build a dam for survival?"
"Shall we rule our country,
our flag fluttering in victory?"
Sir...he's coming
Sir, chair?
I knew you'd come
in search of me
Mr Lingeswaran
King of Kodaiyur
Only now you're standing
in the place fit for you
Our ancestors didn't put you
in your rightful place
That's why I'm standing
Mr Collector!
What's the matter?
First, rain has flooded
the western Ghats
And before the floods target us,
we need dam's shutter equipments
Otherwise are you worried, your dam
will be washed away in the flood?
No, I'm worried this whole village
will be washed away in the flood
How can I prevent that?
As District Collector, you have
confiscated all the equipments
Why should I?
Ego
You suffer from a complex
you may lose this challenge
I have nothing of that sort
Then grant me
permission at once
Okay
What's your 2nd problem?
Not mine
People's problem
I transferred land from the landlord
of Rayakottai to the people of this village
Your Govt has confiscated it
As per our Govt's orders, landlords
can own only a certain amount of assets
It isn't the landlord's property
It belongs to the people now
But our Govt already bought it
Thanks to your conspiracy
You predated the document
by 2 years and cheated my friend
You found out, huh?
The whole country
knows you inside out
So what?
What do you want me to do?
Simple
As a Collector, pass an order stating
the farmer owns the land he cultivates
Can do, but now
it is Govt. property
We can't lift our finger
without any proof
I know only too well
State your rate
Do you want twice or 5 times
the present land value?
I want 100 times
the present value
My God!
Thanks to the dam it is now
fertile and equal to gold
That will be its value tomorrow
"A lion can conceal its growl
Tigers can smile and play foul"
"Some are pro in deceiving
Wolf in sheep's clothing"
"Praise you right up to the skies
And then drop you in an abyss"
"Within a bouquet there is
a snake that will hiss"
"Even if the mighty elephant
falls into a bottomless pit..."
"...no one can trample
its spirit unshakable"
"Truth will triumph one day when
you'll get a standing ovation then"
"Only you, this village will proclaim
You deserve all the name and fame"
"Lies blow like a tempest
But truth speaks the calmest"
"Instead of thorns on that day
roses will pave your way"
This is atrocious!
Let's meet the Governor
Go to the High court
Or if need be, even to
London High court!
We are running
out of time now
This is not the work
of a mere individual
It's a joint conspiracy!
Okay, I'll pay
I'll pay your price
I need 4 days grace time
Why 4 days?
I don't have ready cash
Only immovable assets
To make final settlement
for the sluice gate...
...I have to sell gold and
silver from my palace
To pay your exorbitant rate
I'm forced to sell the palace
I need time to
finalize the deal
Why sell it to
some random stranger?
I'll give you money
to pay for the sluice
Give me the palace
With all the gold, silver,
furniture and fittings
Done
Tomorrow I'll come
with my palace documents
Wait...!
Janet, can you
please take her inside?
If you want our deal
to be implemented...
...2 conditions
You shouldn't tell anyone
what transpired between us
Ettappan like Brutus
will hide behind you
2nd condition?
Accept the dam was not built
by you but by the British Govt
I'm prepared to go to any length
for the dam and my people, okay?
Will you keep up your word?
See you tomorrow
Very good, sir
I've prepared an order...
...stating the Rayakottai land
belongs to the farmer
Hand it over safely
at the Collector's office
Yes, sir
Come...come
Come fast
Look, he bought these lands
for peanuts from us
That's the land document
He's selling our lands
to the British!
Holy cow! Look at those
piles of currency notes
He's taken many more
such boxes before
How do you know?
One of the cops here is
my nephew...he saw them
Why is the dog barking?
Security, check
if anyone is there!
Let's scoot
All the silver
is in the car
How can you still smile?
You built a dam for the people
You lost your name and wealth
You lost your
title and palace
But I haven't lost
my peace of mind
How long will you live
hoarding all this?
For what I did today...
...many generations will benefit
in years to come, you moron!
Come, Sami Pillai
Why is this 'linga'
green in color, sir?
It's made of emerald
Really costly
We'll tell your father
to appoint tight security
Okay
We'll inform the village later!
Yes
- Hey Dubash!
- What, ma?
Where are your wife and children?
Gone to her parents' house
Why?
For the next delivery
Where are all our people?
No idea
Everyone is aware we are opening
the temple on Lord Shiva's Holy night
Your majesty, please
call a chaste virgin
With goodness of heart
let her light the lamp
The whole village
will be prosperous!
Bharathi, light the lamp
He'll soon want you to
light his heart and home too!
You took the call
before me, huh?!
Go, dear
Leader...chief!
Why are you
dragging him?
Chief...please listen to me
Go away
Better clear out of this village
Hereafter, you don't have
the right to step into this village
What are you saying?
You don't know
You didn't see
But we all did!
We saw him accept a box filled with
loads of cash from the British Collector
Who...he did...?
Did he take money
from our enemy?
Yes...see if he can
refute my allegation!
Your majesty, did you take
money from that British Collector
Yes
Now do you believe me?
He himself has accepted
Ask him why he did so?
How can he answer that?
How can he reveal
what happened there?
Blue blood it seems!
It's an insult to him
Hey! Why should
he be humiliated?
Sami Pillai!
As if we won't know
if he doesn't tell us!
He told us
if the dam is built...
...then all lands to the east
will be submerged
So he bought them
from us for pittance
Then he sold it to the British
for a king's ransom!
And went to and fro collecting
box-load of money from the Collector
Isn't it the truth?
Tell them
We saw him hand over
our documents to the British Collector
Yes
Why did he give
our documents to him?
Land that may submerge in water
should only be with the builder
What are you saying?
Ask him that question
If the dam was built by
the British Govt or by him?
Sir, was this dam built by
the British like they are saying?
Yes, this dam was built
by the British Govt
Then all these days why did you
act like you built this dam?
Forget that
He gave us the land owned
by the landlord of Rayakottai...
...which he bought to replace ours
Isn't that also a drama?
Show him the notice
Did you take
a good look?
He has sent us a notice
asking us to return those lands!
British took those lands from
the landlord of Rayakottai long ago
Read it
What's your answer?
We've lost our lands
What do we do now?
I know what to do
I will take him apar-
Stop there
Don't even dream of stepping
into this village again
Go away
Correct, how can
he tackle the British?
Let's all fall at the feet of
the Collector and request him
He'll return all our lands
I can guarantee you that!
Why should a king
stoop down to do all this?
Business, naturally
He has done the same wheeling
and dealing all rich people do
He isn't guilty
the way you all think
I'm talking from
my experience!
Look at his face
Does his face look like
he'll harm anybody?
Old lady, you'll vouch
for him and leave this world
We have to live with it
Go...go and build
some more palaces
What are you looking at?
Listen! It's hard to build
But easy to demolish!
After all this,
if you still wait here...
...we'll ourselves destroy the dam
we built with our sweat and toil
Want to see that happen?
HE will take care
of everything
Thank you very much
He betrayed us and built
a temple like he's a saint!
Let's first shut
the temple doors
Come on
"Truth will triumph one day when
this world will glorify you then"
"Only you, this village will acclaim
You...you sure deserve that fame"
"Lies blow like a storm
But truth speaks slow and calm"
"On that day, in your life
you'll win over all strife"
"Don't buckle under
Don't sign over"
"Don't knuckle under
Don't melt under pressure"
"Don't weep...never
Don't lose hope ever"
"Don't let the doors close
Your dream don't lose!"
"Even Lord Rama cried"
"Yudishtra was also teary eyed"
"But you however didn't weep"
"You will never face defeat"
Stoppppp!
Please stop
Hey! That's our girl
Stop the train
Bharathi, what are you doing here?
Where are you going?
Get off the train
How can you leave
the place you were born-
Train is moving
Will you get down or not?
Tell me to die
and I'll gladly do so
But I won't go
back to that village
The people there
don't have a heart
But I lit the lamp with
good faith in my heart-
Who denied that, my dear?
If you don't like me...
...drop me in some other
village, but not Solaiyur
Had it been like before...
...only the houses along the banks
of the river would've got swept away
Wonder what will happen now!
What will happen?
Dam will break and the whole
village will get washed away!
Kill-joy! Why are you
always negative?
If I'm positive,
dam won't break, huh?
You foul-mouthed fellow...!
Hey! Our king studied
engineering abroad
He'd have built it real strong
If you believed that
why didn't you stay behind?
Why are you struggling
along with us?
Shut up, man
Nothing has happened
to the dam, it is safe
Good time has finally
dawned on our village
That golden-hearted king
will only think of our welfare
I told you people
Did you listen?
Brainless blockheads!
Hurray!
Good time has begun
Solaiyur can at last
enjoy a golden period
Greetings, sir
What's news?
The newly built dam
survived the storm and flood
It has passed the test
The king is a shrewd businessman
But he's an engineer who knows his job-
All that's irrelevant
Sir, only you should maintain
the dam your British Govt has built
You should open the sluice
for our fields to be irrigated
To enable our farmers
to cultivate their crops...
...please provide water
by opening the sluice
Your Govt should return the land
belonging to the landlord of Rayakottai...
...to us farmers, so that
we can cultivate the lands, sir
You can levy whatever tax you want
Just give our lands back to us
- Yes, sir
- Please, sir
If I should do what you want
then embed a culvert on that dam
'This dam was built
by the British Govt'
...should be the words
inscribed on it
Invite me formally
to cut the ribbon
Only then I'll allow it
Nonsense!
How can you take credit
for something you didn't do?
Are you not ashamed?
Go inside at once
Why should I?
Whatever you wanted to grab
from that king, you did
Isn't that enough?
Like a coward you now
want to usurp his name also
Would you change
your father's name also?
Shut up
You cunning dastard!
All of you are stupid
You have no hang ups
licking anyone's feet?
Who built that dam?
You don't know
But I do
'I want 100 times
the present value'
'Okay, I'll pay'
'I'll give you money
to pay for the sluice'
'You shouldn't tell anyone
what transpired between us'
'For what I did today...'
'...many generations will benefit
in years to come, you moron!'
'Come, Sami Pillai'
Hey! What are you doing, idiot?
Look! Your king sold
his palace to this man...
...to get the order for
you to be the legal owners
See my husband's-
Sorry
The Collector's signature on it
That man, that rajah is your God
Don't you ever come looking
for this devil here again
Get out of here
Madam, even amongst the British
there are a few good souls!
You proved it today
We are deeply
indebted to you
Where are you going?
I'm ashamed to live
with you anymore
I want to leave you
I can't cope
with this anymore
You are an embarrassment
Listen! But there is
nothing wrong on my part
I just behave
according to the Govt
It's known to the world...
...our Govt has been looting
this country for generations
But there is real justice
And even bravery in it
You are nothing
but a coward
And I will not live
with a coward anymore
But I did all this for you
For what?
For me?
You wanted to bury me
in that palace
Janet!
Please, Janet
Let go of me
I can't live
without you
I can't live
without our child
Please, Janet
Then do one thing
'Built from 1939-1944
by King Lingeswaran'
I am sorry for
what I have done
This dam was built by
King Lingeswaran only
Not the British
Thank you
Traitor
We won't spare your life
Stop! Trying to escape?
King Lingeswara
Forgive me
Why are you
so deep in thought?
By mistake we closed
the temple he built
Bharathi, we should throw
ourselves at his feet
And make only him open
this temple once again
We don't know
his whereabouts
He sold this palace
When he left he gave
all of us land for our upkeep
Thanks to his generosity
we live without any wants
The last we saw of him was when
he took the 'linga' from this temple
He told us, 'Solaiyur is my village
and my relatives still live there'
'I plan on residing there'
He has many such palaces
Why don't you ask around there?
Let's spend the night here
and look for him in the morning
We can't go back
without finding the king
Father, I'm hungry
Where will I find food
at this time of the night?
Please bear with your hunger
till tomorrow morning
We are all as hungry
as this little boy
Yes, chief
Sir?
Who is it?
We were told
we can get food here
Come inside and sit
Eat this 'puttu' first
Food is getting ready
You said you were hungry
Eat...why are you
getting distracted?
Please eat
Bharathi, dear
Welcome, father
Eat first
We can talk later
What's all this?
I can't bear to see you like this
I am fine, father
You must be hungry
Please eat
Where's Collector sir?
He's in the backyard
You first eat
Oh gawd!
I have sinned
What I did was unforgivable
When did you come?
Please forgive me
Forgive this sinner
How can you say this?
You're all big shots
More than you?!
Stop crying, please
When did they come?
- Just now, sir
- Did they eat?
No
First serve them dinner
Okay
"A conch even if burnt
remains white, dude"
"There's an air about nobility
They carry a definite dignity"
"Even if exiled by our society
our king will always be royalty"
"Even if fallen from grace
helping hand is never in disgrace"
"Even if he loses his land
and everything in hand..."
"...no one can rob this engineer
of his inimitable cheer"
"Truth will triumph one day when
this world will glorify you then"
"Only you, this village will claim
is a man worthy of name and fame"
"Lies blow like a hurricane
But truth unhurried has its say"
"On that day, in your life
you'll win over all strife"
"Don't give up hope
Don't lose faith and mope"
"Don't be low-spirited
Don't be brokenhearted"
"Trust in 'This too shall pass'
It'll be the nightmare that was"
How was the dinner?
Was that dinner?
It was a royal feast!
Feast, huh?
How is the dam?
It must have withstood
the wind and stormy weather
Unshakable
As strong as you
No one can shake it
even for a 1000 years more
How are our people back home?
Forget all that
Why are you like this?
You saw me as a king,
Collector, engineer
And now you're seeing me
as a cook, you mean that?
What work we choose
to do isn't important
But it is important to
love whatever we do
You gave comfort and stability
to people in 36 villages
But now...like this-
What do I lack?
I have this hall built by my father
to welcome tired travellers
I have the means to feed
my guests without saying 'no'
Didn't you see the cows
giving us fresh milk daily?
What else do I need?
You sold your palace
You lived a life of royalty-
I'm the king here too!
Your daughter is the queen
Am I a king only if
I live in a palace?
Wherever one is, to be happy
and to give people what they lack...
...whoever follows this
way of life, is a king
However much you may justify...
...we want to see you
as king like we did before
This isn't good enough
We'll return the lands
you gave us villagers
You buy back
the palaces you sold
May you live as the king we love
for 100 years majestically
Even now I can go back
to my old life if I wish
I'm educated with
ample mental strength
And my body
has a firm backbone
But I've seen that side of life
I like my present lifestyle
I asked my wife Bharathi
She said she's happy this way
If heart beats
with happiness...
...one can be happy anywhere
If that joy is missing here
wherever one goes-
Sir, come back to our village
We'll treat you like royalty
In my lifetime I wanted to leave
something memorable behind
Solaiyur dam is my identity
Having built it
my work there is over
Don't hold whatever
happened in your heart
Sammandham-
Why rake up the past?
Forget it
Son-in-law?
Can I call you so?
Can he call me
'son-in-'law'?
Very funny!
At least come and open
the temple you closed
What's broken once
cannot be patched up
Please don't compel me
I'll take leave
See you, Bharathi'ka
See you, dear
Father...?
If I feel like seeing
you and my mother...
...I'll send word
Will you visit me?
Karunakara, come here
Tell the people back home
the king is happy in his palace
If you tell all this, they won't
understand and they'll feel sad
We toiled for their happiness
Please keep that in mind
But Your majesty, when you are ready
to forgive us, come back to Solaiyur
The temple you built
will until then be closed
This is a promise
I make on myself!
The promise made
by my father...
...has come true today
70 years later, through his heir
Just as the king wished...
...the temple has been opened
on Lord Shiva's Holy night
And the sacred offering
to God has been made
And the man who made
this happen for us...
...you're accusing him
of being a thief?
Not just this idol
The temple, dam, green fields and
100s of villages around this place...
...all belong to his family
They gave it to us
graciously as charity
Why would he steal
his own possessions?
Lingaa...?
Don't call me Lingaa hereafter
Call me Lingeswara
I'm privileged to have been
named after my grandfather
You said you were
going back home...why?
I don't want to spoil his name
Wait, I won't stop you
My grandfather kept this
in memory of king Lingeswara
Son, hear me out
The king didn't tell me
in my dream to open the temple
That was a lie
The chief engineer
who inspected the dam said
'If you want to save this village
open the doors of the temple'
We've opened the temple now
as per the engineer's last wish
But we are in the dark about
the danger in store for this village
Villagers think the engineer was
killed by a wild deer, that's not true
I saw 4 men stab and kill him
When we thought our village
will be totally destroyed...
...the king, your grandfather
came in time to save all of us
Once again our village is
facing danger 70 years later
Only you must protect us
To save the village, why did
he want the temple opened?
But we were the ones
who opened the temple
Hey! Give me
your yellow bag
'A very good morning
to viewers of Public TV'
'In order to create
Cancer awareness...'
'...Mr Nagabooshan, MP of Solaiyur
has released a latex hot air balloon'
Morning, sir
You're putting up
your price it seems
I can't do it, sir
I'm too scared to do it
Let me go, sir
This is exactly
what he also said
I won't
I won't bow down
to your vile threats
The dam IS strong
I've certified it faces no danger
sealed and even signed it
That's what I want
Where is it?
It's safe and sound
in the place it should be
Hey! Go in and search
Get hold of him
As soon as you get
his report, burn it
If I don't find it?
Burn the house down
Hey listen!
If Uthaman bore the brunt
of the wild deer's antlers...
...remember you've taken
15 million from me as advance
You'll end up
as a mound of ash!
Don't, sir
Tell me what I should do
You'll come tomorrow
for the dam inspection, right?
You'll be drilling a hole
for 50 meters, right?
In those small holes, place bombs
given by my men and connect them
Certify the dam is weak
and you can go your way
Will the bomb explode, sir?
I'll detonate them one by one
The explosion will be drowned
by the sound of the water
But if the dam breaks
because of the explosion?
Bomb is mine
Village is also mine
Will I destroy
my own constituency?
Go...go
See you tomorrow
He wants to discuss
something important
He'll be here anytime, madam
Hey Latchu
Why did you
want to see me?
Sit inside
How much longer
should I wait for you?
Did I ask you to wait?
You didn't
But you know this is
a childhood bond!
I know
Even my beard is going grey!
You didn't have it dyed
aspiring for a minister's post!
Look at that!
Come and talk to
my grandpa tomorrow
Is it raining or what?
Today is my lucky day!
Luck always piles up in a heap
That's also said of trouble
It never rains but pours!
Call the contractor
Why are you
blocking the road?
To find out why
you've assembled here
As if you don't know!
None of you know?
We have come to
inspect the dam
With the Court order
And police protection
Hey! Is he trying to scare us?
Are we thieves to be scared of them?
As if we've never seen a cop!
You came and inspected
this same dam last month
What happened to that?
Good question
This has become
a habit for them!
Tell him, he has
every right to ask
True, our engineer came
to inspect the dam
But he died before
he could submit his report
He didn't die
of natural causes
He was murdered
Look, that's a different case
If the engineer had
submitted his report...
...then our visit now
is totally unnecessary
Who told you that
he didn't submit a report?
Certifying this dam will be
strong even after 1000 years...
...sealing it with Govt stamp,
signed and scanned
...it has been thrown
inside the temple
Everything inside
the temple was old
Only this 'rudraksha' was new
This new armor against negative vibes
has come to save our old dam
Insert this pendrive into
your laptop and check
Get your laptop
Oh no! You deleted it
It's on its way already
on a worldwide procession
Too late to try and
push it under the rug
Sir, its already in Facebook,
Email, Twitter, V-chat, I chat-
Enough!
They got the message
- Lingaa?
- Sir
They've anyway come here
Let them do their duty and go
If the previous report
is endorsed again...
...it is to our advantage!
MP sir, they aren't here
to inspect the dam
But to place bombs
to destroy the dam
Who said so?
You did
What do you mean?
Lakshmi sweetheart, you recorded
all that he said in your OB van
Please play it for him
LED screen ready?
Look over there
She's a very bad girl, sir
See you
No one can guess where
she will place the camera
Look there
You can't miss it
Good news!
We'll get the certificate tomorrow
attesting that the dam is damaged
You've paid me
only half the money
Transfer the remaining amount
40 billion into my Swiss account
We just won't miss it this time
They aren't coming
to inspect the dam
But to place the bombs
in strategic points
Even if anyone files a case
to the Supreme Court...
...that the dam is strong
If they come and check,
dam will obviously be weak!
Transfer the money tomorrow
Yov! Playing the fool
with me or what?
Did I use my party,
office and influence...
...to build a new dam
for 400 billion bucks
And got sanction
from the centre?
You're cribbing to
pay me a 20% commission?
You'll also earn
25 to 30%, right?
Transfer the money immediately
Why glare at her?
She's my girl
I had my doubts about you
That's why I sent Lakshmi
to your balloon function
- You...!
- Hey!!
Scumbag!
You move 1 step forward
I'll burn you alive
Now I know you murdered
that poor engineer
You pride yourself in being...
...a Member of Parliament?
You tried to kill the people
who voted for you?
How can he kill us?
We'll squash him to a pulp
Come on
Hey Lingaa! You take 1 step forward
my men will kill your innocent people
I'll kill this girl
Don't move
Is there only
1 dam in India?
Your deposit
is safe with me
If not this contract
I can get you another
Listen to me
You don't know about
my political connections
Crap!
Drive straight
to Madurai airport
Speed up
With bashed up faces...
...are you trying
to blow up our dam?
Move it
Or I'll shoot
What are you saying?
I'll convey the message to him
They've dismissed you
from the party
I lost 40 billion
I lost my dignity
amongst the villagers
I lost my post as MP now
The girl I wanted to marry
backstabbed me in every way
After everything is ruined for me
why should this village alone exist?
Not just Lingaa
The dam that was of no use to me
should also be destroyed
Hey...hey...drive straight
to the balloon function place
Get the nitro glycerine
bomb we have stocked
Put it inside a balloon
I'm on my way there
How much longer?
We'll go up
in a little while, sir
Go...go up fast
I don't know anything
about this, I'm not involved
You think you can escape after
doing all these villainous acts
Yeah...via Sri Lanka
There's a yacht
waiting for me
It won't happen
Who can stop me?
Look over there
Hello...!
Bike is cool
But it has no wings,
my dear fellow
How long will it take
to be right above the dam?
3 minutes according
to my calculation, sir
Set the timer for 3 minutes
I'll strap the bomb
on to you and wheeeeeeee!
In another 3 minutes,
you, your Lingaa...
...the dam his grandfather built,
this village, everything
...will go up in smoke
Lingaa, are you ok-
You're a respected elder and how
can you bow your hands to me?
I feel I am seeing
King Lingeswara in person
Why don't you live
with us here, son?
This is your village
I'll take leave, sir
Let me achieve something
to prove I lived in this world
And then I'll be back
In the last minute
they blew our cover
Our dignity and self respect
will be in tatters
I thought I shouldn't tarnish
my grandfather's name
Looks like that is
a pipedream, Lingeswara
Oh! The mastermind, huh?
I was wondering why he hadn't
made his special appearance?!
Do you know who he is?
He's 'Finishing Kumar'
Asst. Commissioner
However important a case, he'll only
give his finishing 'Celluloid' touch!
Why are you saluting me, sir?
I came here to catch you
with proper evidence
But after hearing
your grandfather's story...
...I got a new found
respect for you
Sir, what's the problem?
Don't worry
Since he saved the dam
and protected the people here...
...Govt is conferring an award
So I've come in person to
escort him right royally!
My friend!
Still there's a minor enquiry
Will you get into
the jeep quietly?
Thanks a ton for saving
our self respect, sir
Welcome
We won't leave you
and go away at all
You are only our king
They will betray you and then
fall at your feet it seems!
Stoppppp!
Wait for me
When the whole village was gathered
she could have come then, right?
Raja's pair, Rani needs
to make the grand entry
Grandpa, bless me
Don't run in slow motion
The next show will begin
Do you want me to
take her also for enquiry?
We can get them married
in your august presence
Okay
Done
For her height she can even
get into a lorry without help
Her hand is taken!
Zip-zap-zoom!
