- Thank you, sir
- Congratulations
A small request to the Collector
For many years we have been
using this place as our ground
But this place isn't very secure
or maintained properly
Every now and then we see
encroachment here by way of huts
It is a big headache to
vacate them from here
I've been the councilor
of this town for 15 years
Often I've requested my Chairman
to raise a compound wall here
But he turned
a deaf ear to my pleas
I gave a petition to
the concerned politicians
But that was also in vain
I'm making this plea
on behalf of our town
I hope and pray you will be
able to solve our problem
Dude, shall we leave?
Call Balaji and tell him we won the match
and we are heading to Pondicherry
If it's liquor,
he'll come in a jiffy
"We are"
"Just us"
"Pipsqueaks"
"Oh yes"
"Our pranks"
"Ruckus"
"King of our area, always"
"To Pondicherry by the sea
dude, come and join our party"
"No shortage of currency
Pull up your collar high and mighty"
"Not an ounce of worry
No trace of fear really"
"If friends support us
we'll rock on with success"
"Life is just a game
Let's play to make a name"
"If we strive high for a sixer
we'll be Sachin the master blaster"
"We are us"
"Ourselves"
"Lightweights"
"No regrets"
"Our antics"
"Wildly surface"
"King of our area in all ways"
"We are"
"Simply"
"Small fry"
"Nobody"
"Our revelry"
"Tomfoolery"
"But we rule the roost happily"
"Say 'no' to beard, if we have money"
"Then 'Miss World' will be yours, sonny"
"Our life is like the 'One Day' match"
"Lose this moment, you miss the catch"
"Good riddance to girls
No such fancy frills"
"Friends are enough
No add-ons or any such stuff"
"To rockets a strict no
Veto flight also"
"To fly high in the sky
a bottle is enough as ally"
"Whomever you meet
don't just simply greet"
"Even if God comes down
we'll ask Him for a loan"
"Whomever you meet
don't take a backseat"
"Even if Yama lands here
we'll hit Him, no fear"
"We are"
"Whatever!"
"Our game"
"King in the Hall of Fame"
"We are"
"No star"
"Our way"
"Lord of all we survey"
- Where are you?
- In Kanchipuram
Tomorrow morning
I should get my money
Otherwise I will be
at your doorstep
- You know me, right?
- I'll come in the morning, bro
If you're thinking
of cheating me-
No, bro, I'll pay it
tomorrow for sure
Satish wanted me to get
the kit bag for practice
It's right there
Take it and go
Hey, take this bat also
'You don't know about me
Go ahead and enquire about me'
What's happening there?
Who's shouting?
That engineer's sister
has come to visit him
Gita's grandma
is fighting with her
Okay, go inside
'Didn't you think of
asking this old lady?'
'Do you think what
she did was correct?'
'Please question her'
No one is respecting me
in this street nowadays
'You're dumping the garbage here'
'Won't you think?'
Move aside, please
What if the kids here get infected?
You thought you could
get away with this?
I'll break your arm if you dump
the garbage here next time
Look how rude she is
Hello, is this how
you talk to elders?
Who are you?
Are you the town head?
I don't talk to people who brush
their teeth on the street!
This is how she retorts
If you dump trash in front of
the house, won't people ask?
That's what we usually do
It's been a month since that lady came
and she has never yelled at us
This princess came
in the morning
She has been jumping
like a headless chicken
Hey old lady, if you address me with
scant respect, I'll chop you to bits
Why are you standing there quietly?
Take her inside
Bhuvana, come inside
Whatever it is we can-
Anna, keep quiet
First find out who
committed the mistake
Instead of that you are
asking me to go in
How dare you come
to our street and-
Hey! Are you threatening me, huh?
My God!
You're acting so smart
Let's go now to the police station
What's your problem?
Shouldn't dump the trash here, right?
It won't happen again
Please don't dump it here, okay?
Tomorrow if she does it again...
...I'll dump trash from
my house and hers
...in your house
The whole street was buzzing with
all the folks standing out and gazing
Why didn't you call me?
I would've come at once
How did that girl look?
Wondering why that question
didn't pop up earlier!
Even if we talk about an old lady,
your antennae will rise, no?!
As if I spoke to her?
He did
And he was too good
Ask him about it
What did you both talk about?
Zip your lips and
mind your business
What did they say?
They both spoke
with their eyes
She said 'Hi, I'm Bhuvaneshwari'
He said 'Hi, I'm Pugazh'
He spoke in English and
took her in his bike real fast
You don't pull a fast one
He spoke English to a chick
and whisked her away!
You expect me to believe
You haven't ditched
that lice-head as yet?
At least I have a girlfriend
Just shut up!
Dude, I'm taking your bike
Don't use my bike
Put the key down
Only 5 minutes
I'm telling you
That girl is getting married next month!
He's having a ball with her
She's to blame, lands up with an itch
without even brushing her teeth
- You meant her head?
- No, you dickhead!
Bro, I got a job in TVS company
under sports quota
I heard this morning
- This ground is lucky
- Yes, bro
If you had practiced a little harder,
you could've got a job in the Railways
I just missed it
We were just joking
Don't glorify yourself!
Okay, bro...bye
Pugazh, looks like you were
mediating in the middle of the road
Gita's grandma went
on a tirade early in the morning
Even if a beautiful girl dumps trash
on a guy, he simply simpers
It's a welcome change to
see you support the grandma!
Parents raise their kids wanting them
to become an engineer or a doctor
But your father brought you up
to question injustice
If we question public grievance
and favor fairness and justice...
...people brand us fools!
Owning just 1 dress and
washing it every day...
...traveling from one town to another
...to address people is our movement
founded by our leader Jeevanandham
If I share all this with you,
your brother tells me not to spoil you
Strange to see foreigners in our town
They are returning after checking
our river water this morning
- Hello, bro
- What's he up to?
He's jobless
Das, if people get to know of this
it will blow out of proportion
What will happen?
If anyone opposes you,
you will beat them up in the quarry
That's why I complained
Do you think they are all fair?
Election is around the corner
2.5 million is the bribe for a post
Will you part with
your father's money?
You complained so impulsively
That I smuggle sand, brew
illicit liquor, sandalwood
That's exactly why I've been
given a post in the party
Don't justify all your mistakes
You know our party has earned
a bad name because of you?
I won't keep quiet
That is possible only if you
step out of this place
Surprise call at this hour?
Tomorrow at 10:00 a.m Finance minister
Ramasamy is going to Bangalore via our town
Give him the due respect
At such short notice, bro?
It is already 4:30 a.m
Do you have any sense at all?
Tomorrow if we go
to him for a favor...
...won't he ask us why no one
followed basic protocol?
Okay, don't get upset
I'll arrange for it
Don't contact me with excuses of
calls from chairman or minister
I'll call you myself
after I finish my work
Sir should be here any minute
Ensure everything is fine
- No problems, right?
- Nothing, sir
Close 305
Move
Don't disturb
If you want to say something
come to my office
Please keep the flowers inside
I have to lock up your shop
Why, sir?
If you don't pay rent for 2 years,
what else to do?
I've paid the rent promptly to Das
If you've paid him
then ask him
Close the shop
- Sir, this shop
- This one?
Shut the shop
and seal it
Ask them to meet me
in the office, seal it now
Sir, why are you asking him
to close the shop?
Go and ask the Commissioner
Sir, please be magnanimous
I've warned you many times
I'll definitely pay
Can't do that
Leave now
Sir, why are you doing this?
You haven't paid rent
for the past 2 years
We have intimated you many times
But no response
What do you want me to do?
We pay up promptly
on the 1st of every month
Ask the person you gave it to
Don't talk to me
Pugazh, how can they do this to us?
Is that right?
Okay, we are ready here
I'll take care
Wrap it up fast
The minister has crossed Ocheri
Cement won't dry
according to your urgency
Don't talk
Focus on your work
You sent the other day, right?
Bro?
That's what he wants
Convince him
and send it
Won't we give it?
Bro?
- What do You want?
- Commissioner has closed our shops
Will you send it?
I'll talk to him, you go
Don't mess it up
- Bro
- What?
We'll get a truck load and we won't
have space to download
If you change it
that chap will be stressed out
I told you I'll talk to him
Same place
Tourism bungalow
Call me after the job is done
But you don't under-
You heard him, right?
Clear out now
You think we are people you can buy
for a packet of 'biriyani' and a peg?
It's a truck load of flowers
which will wilt and dry
How dare you talk to me like that!
Try hitting me
What audacity?
I was just talking
and he raised his hands
Get lost!
- Mother, where's he?
- He's taking a shower
Shower is all he needs now!
Another brawl, huh?
Got any brains?
Don't you know
what to talk and where?
How does it matter which place?
Our business is getting affected
I can only ask him
at his hot spot!
What do you mean
by his 'hot spot'?
Ask him what his job is?
His response will be politics
Listen to your older brother
Don't talk back
What are you up to?
Pretending to study?
Deliver those roses
at uncle's place
Go
Tie it properly
The flowers might get hurt!
He has rented it from
the municipality for Rs 400
And sub-letting it
to us for Rs 4000
In 1 month he's taking
1 year's rent from us
That's also fine
But for the past 2 years
he hasn't paid the rent!
That's why I went and inquired
You got cocky and asked
But whose loss is it?
He's throwing a fit claiming
because of you he has lost face
I was at the end of my tether
trying to placate him
Finally he said pay the entire
amount and take the shop
Mother, give me Rs 40000
For what?
He sends his men to collect the rent
on the 1st promptly
Ask him to pay
Until then?
Shall we both stay at home
and play indoor games?
If we want to have a shop in
the market, we need the help of others
If you keep picking up fights
with everyone you see on the road...
...you'll be minus a job tomorrow
We don't need to live
with his handouts
Hand-
As if one weirdo isn't enough!
Are you also getting ready?
Get inside
If you're angry with your brother
why show it on our kid?
Shall I show it on you?
Mind your damn business
I want to play, ma
I don't want to go for tuition
Play video games again,
I'll break your hands
Take him also in
your tuition class, Bhuvana
- But he's already going for tuition
- Only in the evenings
He gets up in the morning and
starts playing video games
Not studying one bit
Both his grandma and uncle
pamper him to the core
Okay, sit down
To get permission for
meeting on this ground...
...they walk many times from
police station to municipality
But after the meeting gets over
they just leave the place
Look at the rubbish
Only we have to clean up
the mess afterwards
Their meeting is only
with the wine shop
They are themselves drunk
and lying on the floor
Hey! Wake up
We must have an order passed
not to sanction meetings here
We must present a petition
to the Commissioner
Because of them, extra liquor for
5 lakhs has been sold yesterday
What can I say!
Where did you go?
Time is 10:30 p.m and
you are not back home as yet
I'm in the ground, anna
I don't know what you do spending
24 hours on that ground
I sorted out all differences
and opened the shop
Time for the load now
Come to the shop soon
Okay, anna
I'll be there now
Wait here, I'll go to
the shop and be back
- Selvi...Selvi
- What, sister?
Did you buy fish
from this old lady?
Yes, we did
- How much did you pay for 6?
- I don't know
Why?
How much did you pay?
He was the one
who bought it
What, ma?
How much did you pay for the fish?
100 bucks
Did you trust me when I said it?
You thought I was hiking
the price just for you!
2 days ago I bought the same fish
in the market for Rs 60
Why should it matter
to us what you paid?
What do you mean?
If you pay 100 bucks
for fish worth Rs 60...
...this old lady is expecting
the same price from everyone
Will you pay
whatever she asks?
Keep quiet, ma
Whose side are you on?
You had better give
this fish for 60 bucks
And pay them back 40 bucks
What do you take me for?
Asking me to return the money
You go and buy it in the market
Are you cheating
this young fellow?
Who is the 'young fellow'?
Then?
If you don't know the going rate
in the market, how do I call you?
I'll give you for 60 bucks, my dear girl
Why are you arguing
with this poor fellow?
First return that 40 bucks to them
Grandma, no need
You leave now
Thinks he is actor MGR
supporting all the grandmas in town
If you want I'll support
your grandma too
- Get lost!
- I will bring her
Pugazh, there's a bag in
that room for the past 4 days
- Whose is it?
- Venkat's, ma
He promised to come on the 5th
Today is the 10th
No sign of him
His phone is switched off
As soon as your son gets back
ask him to meet me
Who is this man?
How many people
has he borrowed from?
As if borrowing from
the locals isn't enough...
...he has borrowed
from out-of-towners too!
If he had taken us into confidence
we could've tried to solve it
He has a king sized ego
Look how you've raised your son!
Come in
Know what your friend
has been up to
What happened?
Doesn't he wake up at
4:30 a.m and go to the shop?
If I tell your precious son to
be in the shop at lunchtime...
...he doesn't show up
It's beneath his dignity
to work in a timber depot
What happened?
Don't know what's happening!
Past 2 days so many people
are at our doorstep...
...claiming Venkat owes them money
My husband has given whatever
money and jewelry we had
Venkat has been
missing for 3 days
I told my husband
to go and look for him
He's raising his hands at me
I'm scared he'll harm himself
Won't he take care of himself?
Be brave
I'll go and get him
Is that so?
Did you enquire properly?
Did you check with Karthi?
Check and call me back
I knew this was coming
When we aren't there
he'll be gambling away to glory
As if that's priority now!
You'll rush to his defense!
What, da?
Spoke to Arcot Babu
I believe he didn't go there
Shall I check with Akbar?
Where could he have gone?
Checked with Arakkonam boys
But no one knows
his whereabouts
Do you know Vellore Seenu's number?
Is this some gang culture?
Don't have any of their numbers
You go with Kalai
to Kanchipuram
I'll go to Vellore
and check with Seenu
- Give me money for petrol
- Don't be so cheap
You're decent, right?
Give me money for fuel
- What brings You here, Pugazh?
- Did Venkat come here?
He came yesterday
Stayed in the warehouse
Left for Chittoor this morning
Any problems at his place?
He didn't tell me
when I asked him either
- Why don't you come in?
- No, it's okay
- Pugazh, How are you?
- I'm fine
- Did Venkat come here?
- No, he didn't
Any problem?
For past 2 days he hasn't
been coming to our area
Can you call and
check with our boys?
I'll check
Sit down
Tell me
My uncle had gone
to Thiruttani yesterday
I believe he saw Venkat there
'Praise be to Lord Muruga'
Hey!
What are you doing here?
First get dressed
- Sit
- Where to?
- Back home, of course
- I'm not coming
- You go
- Then...?
Where do you intend going?
Sit
No, I feel terrible
People I borrowed from
are treating me like dirt
Naturally!
They will ask you
You should face your problems
If you run away like this-
You could have
at least told me
5 or 10 bucks
it's alright
But it's gone beyond all that
I've already borrowed
too much from you
Sit, we'll deal with
whatever hassles
The creditors-
Did they give you free money?
You're paying interest, right?
Whatever it is
we'll handle it
Pull over to the kerb, I'll get off
Where do you intend
going from here?
I'll drop you at home, sit
I won't be able to face
my father if I go home
That's okay
We can handle all that
Listen to me
You don't want to
go home, that's all?
- You don't understand my plight
- Will you sit?
People who bought
from me cheated me
Gratitude, loyalty, sentiment
All that's dead and gone
Why are you whining?
Drink up
We'll leave
It all boils down to money
Without that mother, father,
brothers, friends-
Sorry, I mean everyone
You gambled away all the money
Why are you blaming
your parents and friends?
See the creditors are here
That's why I told you
I won't come back with you
Only I know
you're back in town
You don't understand
They will rip me apart
I'll find out who they are
Stretch and hold firmly
Show the light here
- 14
- Okay
Okay, come
Who are you and
what are you measuring?
Who are you, sonny?
You are measuring our ground
and you want to know who I am!
Your ground?
You're behaving like
it is your hereditary property?
Bro, they are surveyors
They are here to do their job
Please carry on with yours
Never seen them
before in our town?
Pugazh, what are they measuring?
They are measuring something
but not giving me a proper answer
By the way, who are you?
How does it matter to you?
Pugazh, who are they?
What are they doing?
I don't know, but they've been
measuring for quite sometime
We were sitting there
When I asked them,
they said they are surveyors
- We don't know why
- What are they measuring?
Shall we go and enquire
in our municipality office?
Get hold of him
You spoke as if the whole town
is under your control?
And one nonentity is creating trouble
Your men were standing
quietly there and watching
Did I send you there
just to stand and gape?
If someone came,
you should've hit him
How could I?
It was Pugazh who came
Who?
That flower wholesaler Sadasivan
His 2nd son, Pugazh
Why did he come there?
I think he was drinking
in that ground
He saw our men and
questioned them
He has a knack of
attracting a crowd!
Who is that Pugazh?
Lives in our area
Little bit of a smart Alec!
- Uncle, This is Vishnu
- Yes, What happened?
People crowded around
So it became a problem
Let me speak to Das
My father-in-law
Why bother him?
We can finish the job
and talk, right?
Talk to him
Tell me, what happened?
Nothing much
They are our area boys
They were drinking I guess
So a big crowd gathered
If you are in a rush...
...you know the land near
the graveyard en route to Annadhalai
About 15 to 20 acres
of land behind that area
I can clinch it for you
If you dig a bore well for 900 feet there
you will get only smoke
I'm telling you I need land closer to
Palar river, adjacent to the highway
Okay, bro, I'll finalize this
Let the municipal election be over,
I'll clinch the deal then
Let me talk to Vishnu
- Give him some money
- Okay, I'll take care
- Here
- What's it?
Money
Uncle asked you to keep it
for election expenses
Is that so?
I'm very happy
Wear this one
How long will you be
in the same shirt?
I don't want to go, that man
will bring the roof down
He's bound to be angry
because he hasn't paid up
You don't talk back
I'll take care
Keep going
I'll join you
When can you remove your bandage?
At this age, instead of staying at home...
...why are you taking part in protests?
- Can stay at home, no?
- Forget that
Someone measured
the ground last night
- Who was it?
- Don't know
Before I could ask, they got
into the car and escaped
From when I heard about it,
I'm not feeling good
They must have thought they can
encroach as no one owns it
That playground has been used
for generations by our people
You are finding fault
with me protesting
Only because people like me hold flags...
...some of these places
are still part of our heritage
Otherwise they would've plotted
all of it and sold it long ago
Why are you tense, uncle?
As if we would let it happen!
Don't know if you can deal with it
I'll come back
Then-
I'll take a shower and come
Let's lodge a complaint
to be on the safe side
Venkat and I are going
I will send Kalai
Derided all of you as lazy louts
About me too?
Get inside
Why are you gossiping?
What were you talking about?
I'm really ashamed
Why?
That Bhuvana-
Watch out
She has spoken
ill of us to your sister
What did she say?
We are all lazy louts
Jobless and eating out
of our fathers' savings
She's right
You are always behind girls
This one hasn't graduated
for the past 4 years
He has loans all over the place
Naturally she will deride us
- I'm a very good boy
- You're the laziest lout of the whole lot
Sir, what about you?
I won't fall under
your category
I am so busy know
Everyday flower
Go to the shop in the morning
Full business dude
Sorry miss
If you come up with your stories
to these tuition kids again...
...I'll rip you apart
She didn't say
anything about me
Uncle
- What happened?
- That teacher is hitting me
If you also join that group...
...you'll also be selling flowers
by the cubit like your uncle
I don't measure flowers
Wholesale dealer
As if you're a big Nokia dealer!
What's with her?
Thinks she is very witty
That's why she's on cloud 9!
Why do you ask to be snubbed?
She's our 'desi' Simon Cowell
When did I argue?
All because of him
Go home
Watch your step
Hello Mani
Did you get the load
of chrysanthemums?
Not yet, I believe
it will take another hour
- What?
- 1 hour
Why 1 hour?
I believe that military man has
settled his daughter's wedding
He wants us to decorate the hall
Show him the designs
and ask him what he wants
I'll come along with you
Why?
Let me come please
If you come, you should
behave yourself
I swear I'll be on
my best behavior
I'll be in the ground
Okay, da
- Like this?
- Very nice
Ask if she likes the design
Vennila, how do
you like this design?
This one
The rose design looks great
For your complexion,
this design will look good
How much is this design?
Why are you
worried about that?
Just tell me
your preference
I'll discuss the rate
with your father
For your complexion
the red rose decor won't work
If you choose white jasmine
it will be soooper
- Right, da?
- Sit here
Mother, you select please
Won't you be quiet?
I'm unable to select from this
She's asking us to choose
Tell me what you like
What color is your sari
for the evening?
- This looks great, right?
- I agree
Go out now
Out, I said
1 cigarette, bro
Select one
There are many designs
to choose from, dear
- Dude, come out
- What for?
- Sir, I'll be right back
- Okay
- Why did you call me out?
- Just come
- I think she is a very lucky
- Obviously
Your girl is talking
to some stranger!
He looks real smart
and dressed to kill
- Tell me now
- Any problem?
Nothing
No problem
You asked me to
step out to see this?
- What?
- Come
Tell me you aren't affected
Nothing at all
And we were like circus clowns
circling in our bikes at her doorstep!
- What?
- Nothing
Could he be a friend?
How does it matter?
Anyway you aren't affected at all
Where are you?
Who is this?
Venkat, after borrowing money
and now don't be unreachable
Where are you taking him?
Stop butting in
Take your hands off me!
Look, what's happening
Venkat, get into the auto
Don't make any trouble
I got in, right?
Don't rough up my friends
Drag him into the auto by force
Come and ask him
Why did you force him
into the auto?
Pugazh, don't interfere
My boss wanted me to bring him
You talk to him directly
I'll bring him wherever
he needs to be taken to
Hey Pugazh, if you insist
then come with me
Come out
I'm telling you-
Start the auto
Take off your leg
Why are you being a nag?
Watch your back
Let's go
You're going overboard, Pugazh
He is the one who lent him money
That's why I sent my men
Isn't there a decent way?
You can't barge
into a football match
He pushed him
into the auto
I know what I'm doing
Company is closed
His phone is switched off
No one is in the house
I found out he's back
I sent my men to bring
Venkat and father here
But you hit my men
Oh! He'll hit my friend
And I should fold my hands
and keep quiet, huh?
You gave the money to him, right?
If he hasn't paid you...
...lodge a complaint
or file a lawsuit
Besides running behind him,
you want me to waste time on a court case?
So you'll use violence to mediate?
Pugazh, be patient
Let's try to resolve this
Don't get swayed
Ask him to complain
Let's see if he can
get even 1 rupee back
Think only you know to go to the police
Even he suggested that option
I decided otherwise because
he will feel humiliated
Instead of defending him
ask him to pay me instead
Give us some time
We'll definitely pay up
He cannot leave
without paying up
What will you do
if he leaves?
Pugazh, wait
How much does he owe you?
He has borrowed 500000 and interest
is 200000, so total is 700000
Why is interest 200000?
Stay calm
I don't have
that much on me now
I can pay you in installments
You can tell him to keep
my house documents as surety
Then get the documents from him
He'll collect it after
repaying the money
You are giving in to their demands
It's an insane interest amount
What will they do if we
don't pay the interest?
Please leave, I have to go through this,
for the sin of having him as my son
Show me that one?
Isn't that beautiful?
- Aiyaiyo!
- What?
My brother saw me
If I go home now,
I'm dead meat!
Why?
You have a bad reputation
So he has told me
I shouldn't befriend you
I know why he's mad at me
Where did you go gallivanting?
Went with Bhuvana akka
to the fancy store nearby
Selvi, bring water
Sister-in-law,
get him water please
You go and give him water
Selvi, I asked for
a glass of water
Can't you hear him yelling?
He's asking for water
I'm stringing the flowers
He asked her, right?
Hey, you go
I got the book you wanted
for Computer Science
Check if this is the one
You keep it there
I'll take it later
Where's mother?
She must have gone to consult
either a sage or an astrologer
She will be seeking
blessings or predictions
I'm going to the store
Need anything?
No, dear
Nothing
Do you want anything, dear?
Dad, I want an ice cream
Okay, hold this
Don't buy whatever he asks
As it is, he has cavities
Look who's talking!
Trying to dodge me?
Why would I do that?
Didn't I warn you
not to go around with that girl?
You are mistaken about her
What did I think of her?
You saw something
and thought something else
Sister-in-law
Bhuvana akka's friend is
getting married it seems
She came with her fianc
to invite Bhuvana akka
Sir saw him and
jumped to conclusions
Why invite someone
in a coffee shop?
Can't he invite her at home?
It's only 4 months
since he joined the party
You are giving him a seat
I've worked for this party
for the past 20 years
I will contest from
this 6th ward
If you want to contest, can you
spend that kind of money?
Party head office has allocated
only Rs 20000 per ward
How will that be enough?
If he runs, he'll spend 1000000
Can you do it?
We have a letter from the head office
asking us to give him a seat
Nothing can be done
If you want,
contest in the 7th ward
Acting funny?
You want me to
end up a pauper?
If I ever step into
your party office...
...hit me with your sandals
I don't want to have
anything to do with you
That's it
Leave me alone
Anbu
What, Das?
When our party declared all shops
to be closed for a protest...
...who broke the shops in the night?
You and me, right?
When buses were burnt, we were
locked up in jail for 6 months
And the police
broke our legs
Where were these chaps then?
I am well aware of all that
Just pipe down
Leader, give his 'dhoti' back
Takes it off happily
at the drop of a hat!
Give this to him
Announce the candidate
from the 7th ward
Thinking of 'Canopy Palani'
for running in the 7th ward
Does anyone have any objection?
We lost the Chairman post last time
only because we lost in that ward
How can you repeat the same mistake?
Select a better candidate, bro
What do I lack?
I'll spend for the election
by even selling my house
Palani, don't think
I'm finding fault with you
In that ward, we don't
even have 50 of our men
Let's get a local candidate
He needn't be from our party
Okay then, suggest a person
How about Vellampatti Mahesh?
They have a clean 60% majority
I cajoled him
even last time
But he refused
As if you're oblivious to this
If you want,
you try talking to him
Okay, let us think
of someone else
Suggest a name
How about our Pugazh?
- Who?
- Mr Sadasivan's son
That's a good idea
Any hassle, he is
the 1st one to show up
All that won't work
Be practical
Why not?
Somewhere from the head office,
they will send in a list of names
With no idea of the influence
or affluence of the candidate
Only we know inside out
Let Pugazh contest from that ward
We can win hands down
What he says makes sense
So you want a young
novice to stand?
Das, don't bring your personal
anger into party decisions
You know if he runs
we'll win 100%
Then why hesitate?
Last time we lost only
because of that ward
Don't you remember?
If you can't do it, let us know
We will talk to him
What are you doing here
not even coming home?
Just like that
Your mother visited my place
- What does she want?
- Don't know
She wanted to talk
to you about something
No need, if she hears my voice
she will start crying
Please talk
Kalai, what's the score?
I'll come
Okay, ma
- Here
- What did she say?
She has her own problems
I believe uncle, aunt,
Sandhya are all visiting us
And if I'm not at home,
it will seem very odd
We've already given
our house documents to him
In another 4 months if I don't pay up
my family will come to the streets
And they are making
wedding plans
Pugazh, Das anna
wants to talk to you
Tell me, anna
Looks like
you're still angry
No, not at all
- Do you know why I'm here?
- Yes, I know
People in the party
feel strongly about it
I'm not interested
in contesting
People are fighting over seats
You're being so indifferent
I don't have much faith
in politics or politicians
People who tonsure
their heads in temples...
...believe God will help them
But people who vote don't even
have that belief in their candidate!
If we have a problem
only we must handle it
You seem very naive, my boy
I thought only Pugazh doesn't
know to use a golden chance
But you are also like him!
I don't want politics
Tell me if there is
a way to earn money
Other than politics which job
gives you instant cash?
How do you think
I own all this?
Thanks to politics only
Tell your friends you'll be
contesting from the 7th ward
Ask them to help you
Don't worry, I'll take care
of all the expenses
How can I contest
from the 7th ward?
It isn't even my ward
I know who should contest
from which ward
You can come out of
your financial mess...
...only if you do
something like this
He's willing to take care
of all the expenses, right?
Can I go to him
for 5s and 10s?
Why are you missing
a golden chance?
I'm seriously discussing
Don't play the fool
What do you mean 'don't play the fool'?
We are encouraging you
If I run, who will vote for me?
- Naikar
- Tell me
Won't you vote for Venkat
if he contests?
I'll vote for whomever
you ask me to, Pugazh
- Then you won't take any bribe
- Be serious!
Sudha, will you vote
for Venkat if he contests?
I'll blindly follow
your suggestion
Satisfied?
She isn't even eligible to vote?
Trust you to note all this!
Give me 2 cigarettes
No cigarettes here
Let me get it from
the opposite shop
Why are you
raising his hopes?
I don't think
all this will work
He is negative by nature
1st time in his life,
he is being positive
We know he likes it
We can face
whatever comes our way
The election is round the corner
An expensive affair
Keep this for now
Next time I'll take on
the entire expenditure, okay?
Thank you
They think I own the quarry
Only I know
I'm just a puppet
I told you to ask him
Ask just this time, ma
You ask
What are you both
muttering about?
- Your son wants a bike
- I'll get him one soon
Come up with some excuse or the other
He keeps bugging me
Tell him a proper date
when you'll buy it
Why pay from our pocket?
The Assembly election
is just a year away
Like giving free cycle,
TV and computer...
...they might also give
a bike as freebie
I swear you're born
with the gift of the gab
God knows where you get money
to donate to the temple...
...or lavishly spend on wedding gifts
for Tom, Dick and Hari!
But if our children want something
you'll come up with excuses
If I don't do it
no one will respect me
Bloody respect!
Sekhar became a councilor and built
a house for himself in 2 years
You sublet our rented house and
we are sitting in the terrace here!
Easy for you to say
You are out most of the time
Only we bear
the brunt of the sun
- Is your father in?
- He's inside
Can't even buy
an air-conditioner
Father, Palani anna is here
Back again like a bad penny!
Will you shut up?
Palani, District collector said
he would be coming over
Open up the office
I'll be there soon
Okay, bro
Did you speak to Venkat?
Yes, I did
How can you think
he is qualified?
You spoke to Pugazh
That was a good move
Don't be a nitwit
Pugazh and Venkat
make a duo
They are real thick friends
from childhood
So what, bro?
He isn't even in our ward
How will the people in my street
vote for him then?
Our party isn't a state or
central political party
Purely caste oriented
Only our men will vote if you or
anyone else stands in your ward
You won't even get back your deposit
But Venkat's story is different
He is very friendly by nature
He has nurtured a rapport
with all of them
On top of it
Pugazh is his second skin
What else do you want?
Don't worry about any of this
Once the election is over
I'll find you a good party post
Leave now
At least this time, will you
occupy the Chairman's seat?
For sure, bro
In 26 wards in this town
our flag flies uncontested
We were unable
to hoist one here
We managed it here also
We will win definitely
Das, is the distribution of
money and gifts going smooth?
No, bro
Election commission is hawkeyed!
Police are swarming
all over the place
I am trying to do my best
You're the reason
for our flag flying here
I just now said so
to our minister
Somehow stick to Venkat
and make him win, Pugazh
You focus on
some other ward
As far as this ward goes
he is the councilor
Bro, kindly remember
to vote for our Venkat
Pugazh, don't you know
your word is gospel to us?
That boy is already
a wasted wastrel!
Now he is stepping
into politics, huh?
At least you could have made him
stand in our ward, right?
Having sinned to be his parents,
we would have voted for him
Don't you worry about anything
Just watch how
we shape him up
"Not passed 2nd grade duly
Aspire to be a politician coolly"
"A corrupt mind wants to be
clad in crisp white shirt daily"
"Every election you'll stand
Our votes you'll demand"
Venkat, bring your ward list
Hello, Pugazh
Give Pugazh 10 pieces
- Take, Pugazh
- For what, bro?
Gold coin
If I give in my ward
no one will accept, bro
Who will say no to gold?
Of course they will accept
You distribute it
Bro, give the coins to him
'This is quite common
in politics, I say'
Hey! What are you doing?
With the election commission
hot on our heels...
...we'll be counting bars
with our families!
Why are you inviting trouble?
Keep this for now
Rest we will give you
the day before election
Don't get swayed over
by what others give you
Here you are, all yours
New bike worth Rs 85000
Madasami anna
20 votes in your family
All of you go and vote for
the axe symbol decisively
Not 1 vote should go amiss
That's why you got the bike
My son has been asking me
for a bike for past 2 years
I'm unable to get him one
How ironical!
Hey! Why are you
unloading all this here?
Where else, bro?
You want to announce
to the whole world?
Take it to our quarry
You could have
allocated a ward for us
We could have, friend
What will you do
with just a ward?
No one is qualified to stand
in your party is another matter
Who will foot the bill?
Uncle, steeped in your problem
don't forget to vote for him
He is part and parcel
of our party
Das, this is like selling ice to
the Eskimos, he is our boy!
Spend this time in other houses
Get the best out of your party
and make our boy win
Alright, Arasu
Glad to hear this
Don't harbor any ill feeling
It is your responsibility
to make him win
At least shouldn't you
advise your son?
You think he will
heed my words?
Don't talk to me about him
My wife and I will vote for you
You can be assured of that
Arasu, why can't you advise
your brother properly?
They are canvassing
for that boy Venkat
How can you trust Das?
This won't work
What more can I say?
I've been a councilor for past 2 years
and attending funerals and weddings
Why is Pugazh poking his nose into this?
- I feel bad
- They are just boys
And doing this
in a playful manner
You're making a mountain
out of a molehill
Only his vote counts?
My mother, my wife and I can vote
Only you'll win this time
Go with confidence
Don't forget to
vote for Venkat
Aunt, vote for Venkat
Let's go to that house
No, let's go there
She isn't even eligible to vote
What if she doesn't
have any vote?
She can canvas for us
If she does, she'll turn the voter
against us, she's such a shrew
Give me a pamphlet
Vote for Venkat without fail
Our names won't be listed here
The neighbors Gita and
her sister are out of town
You can vote in her sister's name
Ask her to vote
instead of Gita
My friends will be in the booth
You won't face any problem
You're asking me to do
an illegal proxy vote
Won't you do even this for a friend?
Why should she take a risk
for your friend?
Shut up
She isn't here
on the election day
She'll be in Hyderabad
for an interview
Oh! Next time Venkat will
stand in Andhra Pradesh
We'll let you know then
Smart Alec!
Let's get some crackers

Congratulations, Venkat
You did it!
Careful
(jubilation over the results)
Don't tell anyone
your destination
- You took the phones?
- I did, bro
Whoever asks
just comply
Be it liquor or whore
Whatever the demand
Bring them when I tell you
More than them winning,
we must safeguard them
That's priority
Don't keep them
in the same place
They will track
and find out
Keep changing the hideout daily
I'll make the arrangements
from here, okay?
Maintain proper accounts
Leave now
- Vimala, keep an eye on this
- Okay, sir
I joined our party
before you did
And you don't trust me, Das
Everything is fine
Leave now
I have my own reasons
We'll deal with it later, go
Hey! Stop
Why has a rope been tied here?
- Okay, drop me here
- See you tomorrow
Hey! You got any brains?
Can't you see the rope
as a barricade?
You're crossing over blindly
You bet this is India-Pakistan border!
Look closely
You'll get enlightened
Now you know what border it is!
Razor tongue
of the first order!
That razor saved your life, right?
Bro, this is Pugazh
The electricity cable in
5th street has snapped
Will you come soon?
Okay, bro
Why get drenched?
Come inside
It's alright
I can manage
It's okay, come in
Isn't your brother at home?
My anna and his wife
have gone for a wedding
They may have got caught in this rain
Give it to me
Okay, I'll leave now
The Electricity Board
hasn't sent anyone as yet
I think the electrician is here
See you, bye
Get him to talk
Balaji will try to worm out
news from you, careful
Looks like you joined
the Electricity Board
You are totally
mistaken about that girl
Very calm
and 24 carat gold
What's up?
This is what happens
when you fall in love
Jolly!
How indecent to
read my message!
Hey Pugazh
What, ma?
Selvi forgot to take 'kumkum'
- Give it to her please
- You're jobless, ma
Poor child has to walk
all the way back home
Let me go and
give it to her
Good Lord!
No need
I've turned over a new leaf
- Don't believe me
- I'll be back now
- Is she a child?
- Yes, to me she is
She will sell 2 towns in 2 seconds
Why did you call me?
What is this for?
Give it to my sister
"Wow! Beauty beyond compare"
"Kidnapped by her looks extraordinaire"
"Her aura rips me apart somehow
Will I survive, I don't know"
"Her eyes glow like the moon's beam
Her cheeks like the sun's rays gleam"
"Her tresses like rain
I got lost in it in vain"
"When she laughs"
"I go to pieces in halves"
"Her graceful walk"
"Makes me want to stalk"
"Though I am well aware 'o"
"I fall into this love-mire, aiyo!"
"I'm trapped in this beautiful love"
"Wow! 'Beauty' gets a new meaning
Kidnapped by her beauty ravishing"
"Her looks pierce my heart with an arrow
Will I survive, I don't know"
Cooking gas?
Ask one of them
No, it's alright
I don't want
Wow! Super cool, eh?!
Don't you agree?
Tell her it's sooper!
"A string of words to express...I think"
"Seeing you, why do I sweat and blink?"
"Girl, your lovely eyes of fire
douse me in waves of desire"
"Ahaa this moment in time new
like an umbrella I bow to you"
- What?
- Look where the stump is!
"Like a swing let me be
on your ear lobe petite"
"On your ear lobe let me be the swing
swinging to and fro like your earring"
"Arrest me by the side of your ankle
Girl, like an anklet I'll gladly tinkle"
"Wow! Beauty beyond compare
Kidnapped by her beauty extraordinaire"
"Her beauty rips me apart somehow
Will I survive, I don't know"
Venkat is here
Ask him to come in
I trusted you and sent
the winning candidates with you
Why did you come
without telling me?
Munusamy anna asked me
to meet him at his place
What did he say?
He offered me money
What did you reply?
Don't get lured by money
thinking you'll get a post
Only 2 more days left
Go, attend to them
He offered Rs 200000 in cash
So...?
Just informing you
Winning candidate of Ward #13,
Das of T.P.K party
Winning candidate of Ward #22,
M.K.Munusamy of M.P.K party...
...have filed their nomination
To choose the chairman
from these 2 candidates
...the Ward representatives
elected by the people
...will elect through secret ballot
The electoral officer will
announce the winner
T.P.K member Das got 14 votes
And beat Munusamy of M.P.K
party by 1 single vote
He is now the chairman
of Wallajah municipality
I declare this
as the official result
- Congrats
- Thank you, sir
I'm very happy
Greetings, bro
You've somehow wangled yourself
into the Chairman's seat of power
True, bro
I owe it to you
Do you remember
what I told you?
Of course, bro
That will be my 1st task
I am being tortured by my family
Being a minister and
incapable of even doing this
I'll handle it, bro
Don't worry, bro
- Hello, sir
- Greetings, sir
Did Vimala take good care of you?
Both of you please wait outside
What's the progress, sir?
About what?
I told you about the playground
How do you think
I can help you, sir?
A complaint has already been filed
to find the encroaching party
I haven't taken any action
only because of you, sir
If we poke our nose further
the case will go up to the Collector
I will ensure there is
no pressure from your boss
You do as you please, sir
If anyone complains when you build,
I'll come to the spot and stop it
Build what you can
within that time frame
This is good enough
I'll take it from here
Venkat, come here
Is life treating you well?
What a question, bro?
I am on top of the world
All those who even sniggered at me
are now saluting me with due respect!
- Really?
- I am really happy
All that's fine
Let me introduce you to someone
Palani, step outside
This is Venkat
I spoke to you about him
Councilor who won by
the maximum margin in our district
Congratulations
All credit goes to
my friend Pugazh, sir
Okay, go ahead with
your dinner, I'll join you
Do you know the man
I introduced you to just now?
Who, bro?
Son-in-law of
the Education minister
Millionaire in Andhra Pradesh
He's coming now
I'll discuss this with you later
Das, I'm leaving now
Call me when the party wraps up
A small token from me
- Why, sir?
- Just accept it
Why give me so much money?
You are very lucky
- Me?
- For sure
After our minister, you're the next
luckiest man I've met
10 years back
he was like you
Family problems
Financial hassles
He refused to stand
in the election
I arranged money
and made him contest
Do you know what
he is worth today?
Can't blame him
Shouldn't weigh pros and cons
once you get into politics
Look where my affiliation to caste,
community and friend has got me?
All gone for a toss
Must struggle to become a Chairman
Do you know how blessed you are
with the recognition you've got now?
Our leader wanted to
know who you are
I was myself shaken up
Only 2 points to become
a sought after politician
Good or bad, we should
keep hitting the headlines
And then money
If you have it, that's enough
Everything will fall into place
Just do what I say, Venkat
I'll make you a big shot in politics
He bought a mobile for Deepa
I'll buy you 4 beers
Ask him to deny this
Why is Logu calling
at this time of night?
Someone is building a wall
in our playground
Is that so?
Who are you?
Who authorized you to
build this wall here?
Who are they?
Don't know, the boys
called me just now
Do they think they can
get away with anything?
You don't know who I am
Just clear out of here
How does it matter
who you are?
Don't shout
Does your father own this?
Acting over smart
Just go, I am saying it
for your own good
Wait, let's find out
Who the hell are you?
Were you the ones
who measured here earlier?
Yes, I did
So what now?
Dude, ask them to leave
Or else it will become disastrous
I'm handling it, right?
Come this side
You act funny with me
you'll get it real hard
Why should we clear out?
Ask them to leave first
Why are you pushing us away?
Ask them to clear out first
If anyone intends
building anything here
...it will only be
over my dead body!
Get lost!
How dare you hit one of us?
Clear all this, or else
you're in for trouble
I won't clear out
What will you do?
Clear them out
Chase them out of here
Get him
Let's get the hell out of here
Let go of me
Let go
Pugazh, let go of him
Sir, get away from here
Leave this place, sir
Do you know who he is?
He is a minister's son-in-law
Not just him
If you intend doing something
to this ground, I'll hit even you
Das, don't just keep talking
I'll let out a string of cuss words
Who tried to hit
my son-in-law?
His friend
He became a councilor
because of him!
Is he such a big shot?
No way
Just a pipsqueak
That playground
is his usual haunt
When we showed
interest in it...
...he got mad and hit him
not knowing your power
If he's a nobody,
you should've hit back
Hitting him isn't a big deal
But many who belong to
his caste live in that area
If we harm him, they will
join hands with all the other parties
Then it will be a problem
for our construction
That's why I'm buying time
Don't give lame excuses, Das
The foreigner has tested
that water and approved it
Finalize the deal
But isn't the ground water
from the leather shop?
You know only about the water
below 30 or 35 feet
He has dug 100 to 150 feet deep
And has certified it
We can't change the place
If anyone creates problems,
use money as the trump card
That's not the point-
- Bro, I'll finish the deal
- What do you mean?
Sir is prepared to pay
I'll talk to Pugazh
Why do you hesitate?
He's saying he can do it
So clinch the deal now
Okay, bro
This is a hockey tournament
that took place in 1971
We were the winners
I was in high school then
The VIP presenting the award
is the Sports minister
The person next to him
is the district collector
This was taken in 1983
Foot ball tournament
held all over the state
This is proof to show that till date
our children play in this ground
All this is okay, sir
But I had asked for
the township's old layout
Village Administrative Officer,
Tahsildar, Collector
I've even sent a petition
to the Right to Information law
We will definitely get it
With all this information
we can file a writ in the court
But before the final judgment...
...I will certainly need
the papers I had requested
I'll somehow get them
Uncle, will this work?
What if the minister uses his power
and gets a title deed as owner of the land
Will we allow him to go that far?
Won't we protest?
Why are you worried?
Uncle is saying he'll take care
As if I have 2 horns!
Like you I'm also a common man
I know our people's weakness
If a man raises his voice
against a public issue...
...they'll make him a leader
and put him on a pedestal like God
They will give him
all the responsibilities
And will walk away
least bothered!
You must have
that fighting spirit
Only then you can question
these mistakes and stop them too
Imbecile!
Uncle, why take
my words so seriously?
Next game is which player
belongs to which team?
- Delhi
- Raina
Raina plays for
Delhi it seems!
- Punjab
- Yuvaraj
Hey Venky, modeling for
Ramraj 'dhoti' commercial!
- Keep quiet
- He looks very smart
Showing off your car-status!
I'm not showing off!
Came this side
on an errand
Knew all of you will be here
Just thought I'll drop by
- Give me a cigarette
- What a prompt request!
Get us a pack of cigarettes
You have an assistant
500 bucks for that...wow!
Mahesh, go and get it
You want to pull my legs,
do so when it is just our gang
Not in front of an outsider
- What did I say now?
- No decorum at all
Why are you scolding him?
Do you remember you got to
pay the loan tomorrow?
I have the money ready
Give it to him tomorrow
I paid him yesterday
- Full amount?
- Yes
If I had known a councilor
can make so much money...
...I would've become one myself!
You could've done that
Get the details of this ground
from the municipality office
Uncle has been
asking me for it
That's exactly why Das anna
asked me to bring you over
Why?
Don't go overboard
listening to that old man
Your life will be wasted
That man will even beg
But won't let anyone help him
You should come up well in life
Don't gang up with youngsters
And poke your nose into public issues
I'll pay you a lump sum of 200,000
Back off silently
I will get the municipality to change
the flower shop in your brother's name
Don't think
I'll build a park in a corner
of the ground, okay?
What do you mean, bro?
If youngsters in our town
get good job placements...
...in Railways, TVS or Military
under the sports quota
...it's is only because
they practiced in this ground
If you want more youngsters
to come up in life...
...we need that ground
We don't need
a park to walk
But we need the ground to play
Don't talk without
knowing the details
Do you know
who is behind this?
We can't fight against them
They will anyway take
that ground from us
We might as well get money
instead of having a raw deal
That's a sign of being shrewd
Don't be so cheap
Listen, if I am talking
to you all this while...
...it's only because
I respect your father
Safeguard that respect
If I choose to do it differently...
...I can do so without
spending a single rupee
I don't want to take that route
That's why you are here
- Are you threatening me?
- Take it that way
Then take your route
Hey! Listen
'Venkat, where are you going?'
Pugazh...?
- What?
- Wait
We both played as kids
in that same ground
Aren't you attached
to that ground at all?
I'm saying this-
Our fathers and grandfathers
grew up playing in that ground
How upset you were about
losing your house document?
Is our ground different
from your house?
You're doing sleaze jobs for them
Selling your soul for money
Get lost
'Venkat'
He thinks no end of himself?
Thinks people voted
for you because of him?
Is it enough if he tells people?
Who spent the money?
Don't go to that ward
until I tell you
Only then he'll realize
Took your own sweet time
to come? Where were you?
I got ready because you said
we could go for a movie
Why is this Venkat
behaving like a fool?
He's asking us to help
the minister seize the ground?
Plus he's trying
to grease our palms!
How much we struggled to
make him the councilor?
But he seems to
be scared of Das
He doesn't have
a mind of his own
Always being brainwashed
and making a mess of his life
You think he will prosper
because of Das?
I'm pouring my heart out
and you're so silent
I was nodding my head!
How stupid of me
to think aloud to you!
Ma, did you get back
my ironed clothes?
In comes the 'royal pain'!
He promised to
bring it this afternoon
Maybe he has
closed his shop
Why didn't you collect it?
I told you I'm going out
Why are you shouting?
Drink this
I'll go check
if he's still there
Where is Selvi?
Won't she get all this done?
You think she listens to me?
He won't sleep a wink
if he doesn't make me work
"Don't trust your eyes ever"
He thinks he is
MGR or what?
What's wrong with my brother?
Please come
Sister-in-law?
- Did Bhuvana come here?
- No, she didn't
She has been here
since this morning
Please come in
Bhuvana
Why did you come here
without telling any of us?
Tell me if that blockhead
has left, I'll come
- What, Bhuvana?
- Her Uncle is here
I told him she has got a job in
Hyderabad and is joining next week
He was against her working
and said he'll find her a groom
Why is he behaving
like a marriage broker?
Come soon
I'll see you later
My son is asleep and alone
Selvi, deliver this basket
in your uncle's house
Okay
Bhuvana akka
- When are you joining work?
- Leaving tomorrow night
If you have any doubts,
get it cleared right now
After I leave, don't feel bad
you didn't ask me
How silly of me to say
all this to you
You need a special brand of guts
Hey, wait
Called me a coward?
What are you doing?
No...?
Akka, why did you push me?
What kind of
new game is this?
Forever listening
to MGR songs
Listen to 'king of love'
Gemini Ganesan's songs too!
I believe the opening scene
in the movie is awesome
- Shall we leave?
- Where to?
To the theater of course
Should be half way through by now
Oh! I see
Okay, forget it
We'll go for night show
I believe this Bhuvana is
going to Hyderabad tomorrow
Why are you feeling sad?
- Don't you know she likes me?
- Did she say so?
- No
- Then?
That's my question too
She's confessing it
to everyone in town
Why can't she tell me
face to face that she likes me?
This is too much
You're behaving like Prabhu
in the film 'Chinna Thambi'
- You think this is possible?
- Why not?
Listen to my voice of experience
No girl will profess her love
of her own accord
- 'Why' is my question?
- They just won't
Suppose after marriage
she doesn't get along...?
Then she needs an excuse to say
she never fell for you but you did
Dude, congratulations!
For all the times that girls have
trampled over you, I swear...
...1st time you're talking sense!
I knew it was a royal dig!
Pugazh, look there
- This is the right time
- For what?
- Express your love
- So I should be the 1st to tell her?
Don't waste time, go
Kidding?
You need guts to do so!
Want to see my guts?
Watch me now
Sit down
Let's see
his next move
I lo-
What?
Your 'dupatta' might
get caught in the wheel
'She isn't even wearing
a salwar and kameez'
You usually wear a 'dupatta', right?
That's why I thought
I should caution yo-
Thanks
For what?
You are drooling all over
Kindly wipe yourself!
What happened?
Did you tell her?
No, she's shy
to talk in public
She is shy?
What did she give you?
I have many kerchiefs like this
- Did you tell her or not?
- How could I?
When I see her,
I get tongue-tied
Is this kerchief your way
of showing your guts?
Heights of love, huh?
- What, Pugazh?
- Tell me, Mudaliar
Where's your councilor friend?
Missing for the past 10 days
Tell me what you want
No street lights
for the past 1 week
I want to inform him
but he's nowhere to be seen
If you call the Electricity board
they will send one of their men
Why do you need
the councilor?
Of course I called them
And I also went in person
They are least bit bothered
I'll check and get back
Yesterday some of our girls
came to the temple
Some son of a gun
made a pass at them
Why are you looking
at me like that?
I was with you in the shop
whole of yesterday
Okay, Mudaliar
I'll ask Venkat to meet you
Pugazh, come here
What, bro?
They dug the sewage
and left it open
If I complain they give
some lame excuses
Water is stagnant here
for the past 1 week
Ask Venkat to check this out
Okay, I'll let him know
We all voted for him
because you vouched for him
How can he be
so irresponsible now?
We believed you and Pugazh
and voted for Venkat
- You took money and voted
- Where do we find him?
If you hadn't taken their bribe
anybody can go ask him
What happened, akka?
They are lining up to get
their daughters married to you!
Where the hell is that Venkat?
Where did he disappear
without even doing this?
Tell him directly
What's the problem?
All the wards in the municipality
are giving free blender and grinder
When we went and asked
they want us to bring the councilor
All other councilors are
collecting the stuff responsibly
Where is Venkat?
We trusted you and voted for him
Where do we go
looking for him?
I'll find him and bring him
If he doesn't show up by tomorrow,
you'll see our other side!
'Pugazh, this is Muthu here'
Tell me, Muthu
'Where's Venkat?
His phone is switched off'
'We haven't had water supply
for the past 4 days'
'This isn't good, Pugazh'
I'll find out and get back
Where did he go?
- Who?
- Venkat
Irresponsible!
Besides pestering me on the road...
...now they've started calling me too
Naturally they'll ask you
You made him win
He's busy with a zillion jobs
He has to collect bribes
from the shops
Collect fees from the cycle stand
and toilets in the bus stand
Das is a bad influence on him
Even if Das uses the restroom,
he takes Venkat along!
- What are you doing here?
- We are just chatting
Do you make fun of
the girls who pass by?
No, sir, we came by to drink tea
Leave now, you can't
hang around here
He's jobless
He'll show off only to us!
- Why are you off-mood?
- Nothing of that sort
One look and its obvious
What happened?
No water in our area
for the past 2 days
Went to the municipality to inquire
But no one responded properly
They told me to go
ask my councilor
So I went to see Venkat
We were just talking
and he suddenly hit me
Where is he now?
To lay proper roads
Rs 80 lakhs has been sanction-
Venkat, come out
How dare you barge in here!
- Come out, I say
- Wait, da
We are discussing
something important
I'll join you soon
You'll discuss whose
pockets get lined to what %
Come out right now
How dare you insult us!
(overlap of angry voices)
Venkat, better step out
Such a big shot
he won't come, huh?
Why are you coming out now?
Go and butter him up
Wait
Making a scene as if
he's in the parliament
I told you I was coming
And you started yelling
I'll come over to your place
and talk to you later
Problem is you aren't showing up
Everybody is hounding me...
...about how you're not doing
your councilor's job properly
He told you about
the water problem and you hit him
Don't judge me
without hearing me out
I was talking to the Commissioner
And he barged in and yelled
So you'll hit him, huh?
If not for them, will you be
talking to the any of these VIPs?
I can't be defending you to everyone
Come there and
speak for yourself
Keep your answers ready
and come there
(angry voices)
We'll elect someone
from our own ward
You carry on
They are angry with Das
And showing it on me
Resign from this post
How can you say that?
Do it
You made me stand and win
Now you want me to resign
That's the main issue
If you had won on your own,
why would I ask?
Now everyone is
landing up at my doorstep
My brother is also
getting stressed out
I'm unable to
address their issues
Listen, politics isn't for us
Just resign
What do I tell Das?
Tell him what really happened
Venkat is here
I heard you want to resign?
You think you can
change your mind...
...like the games
you play in the ground?
Random strangers are questioning me
I'm unable to answer them
Pugazh also is asking me to resign
The people are mad at me
Not knowing how to react,
I also accepted to resign
People will naturally pester you
But you should somehow manage
You said the opposition was
ready to grease your palm
I gave you 2 lakhs
You should've resigned then
You were worried you'll lose
your house thanks to your loans
I paid to retrieve
your house documents
If you had resigned then,
that's fair play
If you aren't the councilor,
I'm not the chairman either
Do you know I've waited
for 3 elections for this 1 vote?
To become the chairman
I sold all my property
Including my wife's wedding chain
and spent 6 million totally
You promised the minister you'll finish
the ground deal and you took money
Now if you resign the post
who will face his wrath?
What do you want me to do?
'I can't do anything
without Pugazh's consent'
You come running to me
when a twerp wants to resign!
It's my mistake for giving you
a job beyond your capabilities
It isn't what you think, bro
Pugazh is the main reason
Venkat isn't willing
to oppose Pugazh
Already Pugazh is unwilling to let go
of the ground and has garnered support
That old man is hell bent
on a court case
If he resigns his job at this time,
I'll lose my chairman post
It's very confusing
Don't know what to do
That's why I came to see you
- Where is Venkat?
- He's in the car
If Pugazh is responsible for all this,
you decide what to do with him
Next month when I come
to Wallajah for the meeting...
...the building should be
finished by then
Do you get it?
I'll give you time
until tomorrow
Tell me either 'yes' or 'no'
Because Ranipet Shekhar has been
asking me for a long time
Only drawback, the kickback
of 20 million will go to him
That's all
Bro, please don't make
such a drastic move
I'll clinch the deal for you
'TODAY'
Mother, shut the gate
Maaaa?
Pugazh...?
- Arasu
- What, ma?
- Come fast
- Why are you yelling now?
Pugazh, what happened to you?
Someone hit him and ran away
Who hit him?
Balaji, let's take him to a hospital
Balaji, start the vehicle
Did you listen to me when
I told you not to get into this?
Do you know who hit you?
Why?
If you tell us
we can take action
No, sir
I slipped and fell
So no one slashed you?
Honestly when I came out of
the house, I just slipped and fell
You don't intend telling us
I'll pay that money-
Doctor, just a minute
- Uncle
- What?
- No need, Uncle
- I'll just see him once
Please don't
If you want to do
something good for him...
...stop seeing him
All his classmates are working,
happily settled with their families
He joined you and is forever
thinking about others' problems
And my head is swimming
with problems
Please don't mistake me
for saying this to you
Practice of protesting for a public cause
by collecting funds is long gone
Today even an ordinary
ward councilor comes in a fancy car
You ride the same rusty cycle
for the past 45 years
And you owe money to
the chap who pumps air into it
Please leave us alone
People are wondering
if Venkat did this to you
I think they maybe right
He wouldn't have done that
I know him very well
Then he should have
come to see you, right?
Why hide?
- Which ward is he in?
- 1st floor, special ward
I'll leave as soon
as mother comes
Where's Pugazh?
3rd room
The nurse is changing his dressing
Hello, Bhuvana
Hey! Come on
- How did this happen?
- Nothing serious
Just a gash
Bro, this is-
Come, bro
- He wanted to see you
- Please come
- How are you doing?
- I'm good
I warned you about politics
but you didn't heed my words
See what happened
At least from now on
be on your guard
I fell in love with you
on first sight
After that I felt
like seeing you 24x7
Had I been in town that day...
...I wouldn't have
let them thrash you
What are you saying?
You'll go daily at 4:00 a.m
to your shop, right?
Yes
I'll set my alarm at 4:00
to come out to see you
But you won't know
I'm watching you
You'll look at my house
before you leave too
I knew right then
Some days you won't
look at my house
I'd really feel
as if I missed something
So I'll come over to your place
with some silly excuse
Where is Venkat?
Where is he?
Why ask us?
He's missing from the day
you were attacked
Most people suspect
he had a hand in this
Don't talk rubbish
Did you see him?
The night you got hurt, we saw him
with 'Canopy' Palani
After that he just
vanished into thin air
Okay, sir
You can take him home today
- Bring an auto
- Okay, bro
Take that bag with you
Okay, sure
- Come fast
- Sure
Why get your hands dirty
in all this politics?
You've graduated
in some subject, right?
Either get yourself a job
or take care of the shop
Stop poking your nose
into others' business
Wrap up all this social service
Palani, stop
Pugazh
Wait
How will he stop?
He loves chasing trouble!
Go fast
He's turning a deaf ear
I know nothing
Bro asked me to bring him home
And I did
That's all I know, Pugazh
Where is Venkat?
Tell me
Where is he?
Why are you creating
a ruckus here?
Wondering why I'm not lying lifeless
in a graveyard and standing here?
Next time you send your man
make sure he does a clean job!
Are you such a big shot
for me to kill you?
You are a trouble maker
Wonder who attacked you!
You wait
You told your friend to resign
from his councilor's post
Maybe he got mad
and tried to kill you
- Go and ask him
- You didn't instigate this?
Don't play this
political drama with me
You think I don't know anything?
Venkat has to come here
by this evening, got it?
Arasu, I won't be
even tempered always
Then it will be
too late to regret
Advise him
Don't make it worse
What the hell will you do?
Hey! Get lost
I have seen many 'wannabes' like you
Stop this ruckus
and go home
Go
Get down and go inside
Pay the auto
How much?
Pugazh
Come in
Why are you dragging him like this?
You pampered him so much
and see the mess we are in!
Attend to your work
Okay, let go of him
Let go
Don't walk away like that
Your husband used to rush
to help people in need, no?
Your son will also be
in that same mess!
Let go of my hand
What did I do for you to be
so upset with me?
What more should you do?
What other plans
are you hatching?
This mess is bad enough!
Go inside
Why are you pushing him inside?
What happened?
'Open the door, anna'
His wound isn't healed as yet
He's picking another fight already!
Ma, please open the door
If you leave it like this,
it won't work out
- Where's Pugazh?
- He's in his room
My brother has locked him up
Please wait, I'll go get
the key from my mother
No need, it's okay
I'll come later
I like your brother's courage
and anger very much
But I'm not bold enough
to get my sister married to him
No sir, you have
misunderstood my brother
I'm saying this only because
I've understood your brother well
Once he gets married
he'll be fine
You're saying this
with blind faith in him
But he's blind enough
not to know his opponent
Please don't get me wrong
He was in hospital now
If something drastic happens
he will face the consequences
But if my sister gets married
and he gets attacked...
...won't her life be affected?
I see your point of view
But they are both
interested in each other
Attend to the baby
If he gets married...
...we thought my brother
will settle down in his life
That's why we broached this subject
If his fate is to resort to blows
and bruises throughout his life...
...what can we do?
Okay, sir
Let's go
Anna, 1 minute
Please sit
Anna, will you come upstairs?
You are scared
for no reason
So knowingly you want
to dig your own grave?
Girls generally will want
to marry a courageous man
Don't be in a rush
This is your life
We must think a 100 times
before we decide
There's nothing to think
This is my decision
Are you happy?
Ma, none of my friends
drop by nowadays?
No, they don't
Call Balaji
Okay, uncle
Pugazh
I'm coming, wait
Where are you going?
Why did you ask me to come?
Ma, you lock me in
and take away my phone
Get the gate keys
My brother and mother
are driving me up the wall
Don't go out, no calls,
don't take the bike out
If your brother knows
you went out, he'll yell at me
Ma, don't be silly
Don't I know to
jump over our gate?
Open the door, ma
What should I tell him if he asks?
Tell him I called him out
He won't mind
That's the last straw!
Pugazh, your brother might see you
Come back soon
Where did you go?
Dude, let's go to the ground
Uncle lifted me up
Friends are all in the tea shop
It has been really a long time
since I went to the ground
Just go
- Listen to me
- Give me your phone
I've messaged
all our friends to come here
They will come now
Fat hopes!
Hey! What is this?
Anna asked me not to tell you
Were you twiddling your thumbs?!
Vishnu and Das
didn't spare anyone
They threatened everyone
Devaraj, ask your son to stop
befriending him and making trouble
You know what I mean!
Then don't come crying to me
I'm warning you
because I know you
Hit him
Heard you call yourself
Oscar Anand in town
Who is he playing with?
Ask him to behave himself
Otherwise I'll arrest your son under
a terrorist case and put him behind bars
Das, are you threatening me
by bringing the police along?
Got it, right?
What did my brother do
that was so wrong?
We are getting complaints of him
teasing the girls on the road
If he doesn't behave...
...I'll put him in jail
under eve teasing
We were better off
They threatened
your bro in the shop
What does your brother
think of himself?
Just because a few
pipsqueaks follow him...
...he thinks he can blast anyone?
His good time, he escaped
If you want him to be alive,
I should never see him again
Okay, Das, I'll ensure he doesn't
mess with anyone in the future
Your brother knows me
only as a politician
But you're aware of my past, right?
- I do
- Warn him then
If he threatens,
will you get scared?
Today he'll build a factory here,
claiming the water is good
Then he will ask us to evacuate
claiming there is granite under our houses
Just keep gaping!
Only because you are scared...
...they get the courage
for more misdeeds
If we strike back at one
of them, it's enough
Uncle, how did you
allow them to build?
They think if they build
no one can do anything
Even if they go to the Supreme court
the case will only favor us
If we wait for a verdict...
...it will keep dragging until
his grandchildren run the factory
In the court, the Commissioner, Tahsildar,
Collector have joined hands with Das
And claimed this is Govt land
They are lying
through their teeth
They are thinking of
this ground as an ordinary one
The British played cricket here
In 1932 in the Municipality layout
it clearly says it's a public ground
Uncle, are they building here
without knowing all this?
Of course they know
But they would've assumed
no one will find these records
Will I leave it?
I unearthed every single document
The lawyer himself was stunned
If we submit these records in court
and get demolition order...
...Govt will bring it down
without us spending a rupee!
Then we can just watch
with our arms folded happily
Uncle, say something
that's feasible please
Don't get tensed
Take care of the festival work
Pugazh, you focus on
your engagement
I'll deal with this completely
Hey! Stop
Why did you come here?
What were you doing all along?
I can hear raised voices
'Wait'
Our friends?
I'm telling you to wait
Venkat, where were you
all these days?
Think you're a big shot?
You know who helped you
to become the councilor!
Take your hands off
Who are you to butt in?
Wait, let's talk to him
(raised voices)
Get out of here
Get out of this place
Can't you hear us?
Just wait
You came to check
if he's still alive?
You call yourself a friend!
Hey! Wait
Why did you come here?
Let go of him
Want to drink?
When I said I'll resign,
Das took me directly to the minister
They chatted
for a long time
Don't know what they spoke
Then they detained me at the quarry
You told me to run over
the old man and I did
Before you hit the old man...
...he filed a habeas corpus
saying that Venkat is missing
If I release Venkat, he'll join
with Pugazh and say he'll resign
Then I'll be minus a job
Your job also won't get done
If you handle politics like this...
...not 30 but even after 300 years
...you won't reach the top, got it?
Open the door
Hey, get up
Bro, leave
Don't tell anyone you were here
If anyone asks you,
just say you went out of town
Get it?
Why are you staring?
Do you know how much he has
struggled to become the chairman?
If you resign listening to some chap,
we'll be really mad at you
No one who has come
into this room has left here alive
He has to hold on to his chairman post
That's why you're getting out alive
Not understanding that, if you resign
listening to some idiot...
...not only you
But your entire family won't be alive
I swear I didn't attack you
I know
We shouldn't give up, Pugazh
This land is a cut above
our own mother
A mother will feed only
her children and raise them
But this land feeds and
nurtures the whole town
Only if we maintain and protect
the soil where we played...
...our generation will be saved!
On one side...
...greedy men demolish mountains
and destroy nature
On the other side, thoughtless men
rake river sand and ruin agriculture
Trees buried in this land
many years ago...
...one fine day shine like a diamond
But having been born
and raised in this land...
...if we give up,
how will it be?
(loud lament)
Come and eat
Please come
Lakshmi, attend to them
Everyone will be angry
They will be spoiling for a fight
but don't speak unnecessarily
(lamenting continues)
Share with everyone
How dare you
swear at us!
Leave it
He said something
out of anger
If you allow him,
he'll continue to talk
What does that mean?
If that man was alive, he would have
submitted all the details to the court
So you ran over him
Looks like you'll blame me for
all the 'hit and run' cases in this town!
Das, why are you arguing
during a funeral?
He is spoiling for a fight
Who is creating a ruckus?
You think we don't know
about the lorries in your quarry?
Sonny, don't let
your tongue run
You think we aren't aware of what
you and that minister's son-in-law do?
Stop it, go now
Let me speak, anna
He thinks we are all fool-
Take him with you
Taking the common people
for a solid ride
- This isn't looking good, Arasu
- You leave now, Das
The support from his clan and friends
is kindling his temper
Not at all
You leave
If I nod my head, my men
will chop your brother to pieces
Then the funeral
will be in your house!
'Inform your brother'
What a prize catch!
If your brother had seen this...
...he would have
brought the roof down
Here, chop him
Hack him, I say
Think we won't fight back?
Threatening us
at the drop of a hat!
We don't collect others' money
and eat like you do
We work hard for a living
Only today you have
become the chairman
Don't we know
how you were before?
If you were above board...
...why will he cross your path?
My father hasn't given birth
to a coward of a son
Arasu, you told him not to shout
and you're doing just that
He only knows to threaten
with violence and murder
- You'll both lose respect
- Get lost!
You think you can
get away with this?
I'll kill you both
Whom do you take me for?
Clear out, you wimp
Arasu, go home
Pugazh, take him home
Why are you behaving like this?
How many times to tell you
he's a dangerous person?
Aren't you worried
about our family?
Is it fair on your part to do this
with your engagement 4 days away?
You go with him everywhere
like a cow in the temple
Won't you advise him?
What are you saying, anna?
I can't keep watching
such atrocities and keep quiet
Waste of time
I won't talk about this
to you again
You decide
If other people's problems
are priority to you...
...don't come home
Go away
Go away from here
You heard him, bro
How many times
do I repeat the same thing?
Am I saying all this for my sake?
I want him to be
safe and happy
He humiliates me
Pugazh and other parties intend
protesting in front of that building
- is that right?
- Yes, bro
When they all joined hands
and fought with me...
...I knew something
like this was brewing
When is this event?
Sunday is Pugazh's engagement
They are planning
to protest on Monday
We made this
for the bride
Selvi, someone is calling Pugazh
Go and give him the phone
Aunty, keep this
- What?
- Pugazh anna has got a call
Tell me
Anna, Bhuvana akka
No need, bro
It's very risky
If something goes wrong,
they will burn me alive
I'll make sure
you are safe
Go ahead boldly
How dare you break
our leader's statue?
(commotion)
You seem to be celebrating
the engagement like a wedding?
Even the bride's family asked me this
I believe their relatives are abroad
They want the wedding
to be conducted in Madras
My brother wanted it this way
That's why I decided to conduct
the engagement in a grand manner
Madam, call Arasu
Selvi, call anna
They want you in
for the rituals
Attend to our guests
Greetings
Where is your sister-in-law go?
- Call her immediately
- I forgot
Read the engagement
announcement once
Anand
Anna is calling you
Get 2 litres bottled drinks immediately
Sit next to me
Will you just shut up?
What is the rush?
Do you know what is
happening outside?
They have literally
organized a riot
- Who?
- Das's men
It seems someone cracked
their leader's statue
So they are breaking all the shops
They are coming this way
When we are all here
why tell him specifically?
You have no idea of the danger
Who are you?
Why are you coming in here?
Who the hell are you?
How can you barge in?
Keep quiet, dude
Stay right here
Bhuvana akka, please wait
Catch him, Arasu
Bhuvana, come inside
We have enough problems
and you want to call him?
Hello
You are so stubborn
You don't listen to anyone
My brother predicted this
When everyone told you
to stay calm...
...you went on fighting
Yes, what do you
want me to do?
Won't you think about anyone?
No, I won't
Careful!
Hey Anand! You want a feast
lend us a proper hand
My arms hurt
Lower it down
He's such a weakling!
Place it on the ground
Hey! Come and help us
It's so goddamn heavy
Just lift and go
Let me go and fetch him
Anand, don't pretend to lift
Why this long face?
From childhood I should've maintained
my distance from my uncle and father
Still brooding about it?
Help us with the festival preparations
2 days and everything
will fall in place
I am trying to be aloof
I'm unable to
Do you know how often
I have wanted to be as bold as you?
I simply can't
Fear
The boys are coming here
Don't let them see you like this
They'll be upset and
everything will go for a toss
Das and the minister will
have the upper hand
We should retain our playground
Think of a plan to save it
'Ladies and gentlemen'
'Tomorrow night
at Wallajah bus depot...'
'...a public meeting has been convened
to elaborate the plans of the Govt'
'Since ministers and
dignitaries will be present...'
'...we request you to make it
a special event with your presence'
'Our party's pillar of strength
Honorable minister for education'
'Brave-Heart Mr Balaraman
and our district collector'
'I request Hon'ble minister
Mr M.Ramaswamy'
'...to come on to the stage'
'My dear brother Das
invited me to speak in Wallajah'
'I never imagined it would be
on such a grand scale'
'If I elaborate on
our party's achievements'
'...we would be here
whole of tonight!'
'When students from lower middle class
strata of society need to study higher'
'...they can directly contact banks
which will offer loans-'
'To offer student loans to-'
Pugazh went with a big gang
and his friends to the playground
And razed our building to the ground
What do you mean?
I got the information just now
Round up all the boys
'I am very happy to announce
I will make it happen within my tenure'
Stop...stop
That Inspector is looking for us
If he nabs any of us
he will skin us alive
Call the others
Tell them the cops
are searching for us
Tell them not to go home tonight
Let them stay somewhere outside
And meet up tomorrow
at the temple festival venue
Our people will be around
The police can't touch us then
Don't forget
Watch your back
Careful
Be safe
I trusted you and now
it has all gone for a toss
Look at them standing here
like thick skinned buffaloes
Till they demolished it
were you sucking your thumb?
We were out numbered
10 up against 100
They thrashed us like
a tsunami and disappeared
You claimed not 1 chap will turn up
And you had chased them away
Look what they have done now
I thought they are just boys and
my threats would scare them away
Lamest excuse ever!
If you had killed 2 of them...
...would they have
dared to barge in here?
How many of them?
100-200 good-for-nothing boys?
Ask the Inspector to nab them
I already did
He's on the job
I shouldn't have trusted you
I should have done this myself
I didn't want the Press and media
to go on a 'ripping me apart' spree
That's why I called you
Now I'll take over
Inspector has come
Sir
What happened?
Not a single boy
is out on the roads
They have all gone into hiding
He says this all the time
If you file a case against them
for demolishing your building...
...I can bring the offenders in
And beat them up
black and blue
They will confess automatically
Are you out of your mind?
You want me to complain
claiming ownership of this land?
The title deed is not yet ready
I'll handle that, bro
Fat hopes you will!
I'll bring my men from Chennai
and rebuild in this same spot
Let me see who will
dare to barge in again!
Brother...?
Yes, sir
I'm waiting at the High school
Come soon
Pull up on the left
Minister has brought his men
from Chennai to rebuild
If Pugazh finds out, he will create
trouble again with his gang of boys
I can't face the minister's wrath
With this temple festival as an excuse
if we kill Pugazh and Venkat...
...they will be terrified of us
We can close the file saying
commotion during the festival
Don't do anything
during the festival
Then?
Situation isn't alright
Superintendent of Police is here
Problem will get aggravated, sir
The minister is really mad at me
I'm balancing it with
his son-in-law's support
If those boys cause trouble
it's the end of my political career
Please understand
my predicament
I know what you are going through
Don't choose
the temple as your venue
When the deity is being taken
on a procession in the streets...
...send in your men
We will turn a blind eye
Stick to the boys
to be on the safe side
I think we'll conduct the festival
without any serious hassles
Ask the boys to burst the crackers
a little ahead of the procession
Ezhumalai bought fireworks
for just 200 bucks
What does it matter
where we burst?
Careful, you might
scorch your fingers
I have told the priest to
garland on our behalf
Okay
Why is he ignoring me?
Oh gawd! Power cut all of a sudden
Don't know what's happening
Listen to me
- Go inside
- Brother...?
They are building again
in our playground
They have pulled out
all the electric cables
Call the electrician
Pugazh, someone has
attacked your brother
- Anna!
- Venky
Get some vehicle
I told you not to get involved
Did you listen to me?
Heartless fellows!
Call the ambulance, Pugazh
Don't worry
Get the car
Bro, Pugazh is coming to kill you
Watch out, bro
Run...run away, bro
Bro, leave the place
Muruga, kill him
Babu, finish him off
Finish him off
Kill him, Babu
Don't hurt me, Pugazh
He and the minister are
responsible for everything
Only because rogues like you
hanker after pittance...
...they get away
with their crimes
Don't kill me
You know why I did it
If I hadn't someone else
would have pitched in
I've never earned a rupee
in my political career so far
They promised to settle me well
in life if I clinch this deal for them
Wanting a better life
I succumbed
Are we your target to satisfy
your wants and greed?
What do you think of yourself?
You ruined our agriculture
by robbing our river banks of sand
On another side, you blast
the mountains around our town
You filled up lakes
and ponds to build colleges
On top of it, trying to grab
our playground with your greedy hands?
If someone opposes you...
...you'll resort to vile threats
If we don't bow down
once for all you'll finish us off
You're so damn sure
no one will oppose you
I will make a new beginning
The way I hack you to pieces...
...no one will dare aspire
for another man's land
assisted by harini
'6 months later'
'In the riot that happened
at Wallajapet temple festival...'
'...due to lack of adequate evidence
beyond reasonable doubt'
'Pugazh the alleged culprit
and his accomplices'
'...are freed by this Court of law'
In this happy moment...
...I wish to share with all of you
this heart-warming piece of news
When I was elected as the MLA
of this constituency...
...volunteer Selva gave me a petition
asking for a playground here
I decided I should do some good deed
for the people who made me win
The result is the foundation stone
for this stadium today
Pugazh has become
a family man
Anand, hereafter you are the captain
You can treat-
Don't shoot off your mouth
How many times you've
promised I'm the captain...
...and got drunk like a skunk
Next morning-
Acting like you are on cloud 9
Aren't you feeling jealous of us?
He switches on his FM channel
he won't zip his lips
- His wife is 'All India Radio'
- These boys are up to No good
Go and attend to your work
Pugazh, it seems
he's the next captain
"To Pondicherry by the sea
dude, come and join our party"
"No shortage of currency
Pull up your collar high and mighty"
"Not an ounce of worry
No trace of fear really"
"If friends support us
we'll rock on with success"
"Life is just a game
Let's play to make a name"
"If we strive high for a sixer
we'll be Sachin the master blaster"
"We are us"
"Ourselves"
"Lightweights"
"No regrets"
"Our antics"
"Wildly surface"
"King of our area in all ways"
"We are"
"Simply"
"Small fry"
"Nobody"
"Our revelry"
"Tomfoolery"
"But we rule the roost happily"
