Direction MANI RATHNAM

This is not a walking stick? It is sword

I know how to hold a sword

I have learned from reputed teachers for 10 years

He has guts & spirit He will be the hero in our film

In a country where famished babies cry for milk

When will the tradition of bathing stones in milk end?

When will the religious fanatics learn to respect the poor & make them happy?

Aren't you the writer Tamil selvam?

When will this country reform?

- What is your course of action? - I have read your work

I admire your style, but can't agree with your views

It's obvious White handloom attire...

the local power hungry whiteman's dress...

A chain of beads... The Tamilan is ignorant of science

But he knows the God of death comes on a buffalo

Cows & men are defied alike...

Leave all this Cowdung in the forehead...?

- Is holy ash cowdung? Then God? - Does not exist!

- That which is in a temple? - Is a piece of stone

- Sacred vedas... - Sheer cheating - Scriptures? - Superstitious faith

- Marriage ceremony... - Enslaving women - Noisy band... - Job of the jobless

- Vermillion on lady's forehead - Foolishness -Wonderful, marvelous...

Applauding my views, or my mode of expression?

Neither of them, I'm lucky!

Your language and my histrionics How your words & my acting will match!

Will you write such stylish dialogues for our film?

The audience will be mesmerised by your poetry

- I too will be accepted as a hero - Calling me an imposter?

Only you can dazzle the audience with such beautiful words

Is this hero a dear friend or an esteemed foe?

A fan for the moment...

Endowed with a face like a full bloomed lotus...

With soft sandal like shoulders...

A set of teeth like buds of jasmine...

Ears like white flowers

Can this flowery softness hold a heart with stony toughness?

I pine for blissful moonlight You pushed me in to a dark blight

I craved for a feathery freedom But received prison and doom

Tuneful music, I yearned In stony silence you replied

I longed for the nectar of love But you gave me tears and affliction

All I got for a bed of flowers was a pyre of embers

I waited for day-break But you went into an eternal sleep

I came to offer my heart But you lie there with frigid hands

Why didn't you allow gentle breeze to enter my windows?

I waited with open arms You shut your heart for me

Like salt drained in sea...

My love pang finds no responses

Well done...

You have a bright future Mark my words...

How was that...

- A star is born... - All due to your dialogue

They talk of Patriotism of independence Call for revolution to attain freedom

Who wants this freedom?

Living as downtrodden slaves in our motherland

With a life of burden for a morsel of food

Emaciated of our valour & discretion

When will the Dravidan lot relish freedom?

Who should be the rulers of this land?

You... the poor simplemen... not the Aryans

Let the days of enslavement perish

Let the Dravidans awake from their deep slumber

and get ready to revolt unitedly

If other party's routes are wrong

what will you do If you're in that place?

If this country is entrusted with you...

...& you're its King, Minister or politician, what'll you do?

As of now, we haven't started a party of our own

Ask me after we start one Why dream till then?

If power is in your hands what'll you do?

- I'll reform everything - what?

Rules should be laid down to enter into politics

the rich shouldn't enter

Enough of the atrocities on the poor by the whites & rich

Will it be fine, if we drive the rich out?

Low caste, untouchables & slaves... should enter the ministry

Capitalism should be extirpated

Politicians exploiting the police should be stopped

Power, rule, status is a responsibility, not a weapon

Poverty should be eradicated

No one should starve for want of food

People should live happily

Fame of Tamil &Tamil Nadu Should spread far &wide

I'm proud of my friend

These dreams must become a reality

We should strive to make it come true I'll be there with you

- What's all this? - Politics

Nonsense

- 'Ayya' has come - Let it be

You've become a brave warrior

Get well soon and come

This is just the beginning

Tougher wars, imprisonments are all waiting for you

To bear all that with strength tone up your body & soul & come

I want a big battalion like you

For upliftment of our ideals, our institutions

...needs heroes, ready to sacrifice their blood

Get well & come...

You are in bed with a fractured face

He did not enquire about your recovery

But is inviting you to get your other leg contused

Ok how will my bride react to this?

A wedding with this face?

Look, tell me the truth, why are you here?

I told you, I got a telegram that Mother is unwell

They said that, did they? Look what I got!

To brother Kashi, from sister Annam

I am going back by the next train

- I will break your legs - Your are trying to make a fool of me

There is no wedding here get up

Am I a dumb lout?

I am obedient does not mean, I am an idiot

Who agreed to this marriage?

Have your bath & see the girl

We will leave if you don't like her

Have you bartered me for money?

I am not forcing you

If you don't like her you are free to refuse

Then why this haste? Why trick me into this?

Do you think I am a wastrel?

Or is she deaf, dumb, blind or...

Shut up...

Have you decided?

I am asking you What do you say?

I know I should not have agreed

I told them to proceed with the wedding

I gave my word that you will agree

If you refuse they will be shattered

What do you say?

- I have not even shaved... - I will get it done

If I agree, then you...

Anand has agreed... - Only if you agree to my...

What do you mean...? - Be patient?

It gives me great pleasure to conduct the wedding of...

Tamil Selvan, the son of Mr&Mrs. Sundaralingam and...

...As my life partner from today

I daughter of Mr & Mrs Sandanam accept...

...him as my husband

Long live the couple

How can I talk to you if you don't look at me?

I can hear you

I can hear

Do you know, how this wedding took place?

Yes... - How...?

Against your wishes

Was it the same with you?

Tell me - I will tell you tomorrow

You won't... - Why?

Shall I tell you? - Tell me

You were mesmerized by me

You seriously think that?

Yes, I was mesmerized but don't tell anyone

I already did! - Oh I am doomed...

I am not a child to be pampered...

I am a husband wanting to share my heart & feelings

If you think I am a child take me in you lap

If I am your husband come to me

Why are you falling at my feet?

Mother told me, so...

Did'nt your mother tell you that man and woman are equal?

Should I also not fall at your feet then?

Don't say that

What should I say then? Shall I speak poetry?

Shall I speak love?

If that's what you wish...

No, your wishes are important too Your wants are important

Your needs are important tell me, what you like?

Oh! God! I don't know...

Why call God to the bedroom?

This omen is not good - What?

My saree, catching fire on our wedding-night...

The drape on you, was burnt not by the lamp's fire

but by the raging fire of desire

Your husband's desire my darling...

You seem to be intelligent too

Yes, I am - What do you expect from me?

You should be a good man - Am I not a good man?

However rich & famous you become you must not change

And if I do? - I will push you...

How?

Like this

O Fragrant bud, Please stop for a second near

Open your ruby-red lips and utter the words I wish to hear

On that night, in the moon light With water dripping down your forehead

Was it you, who bathed in the lotus pond?

On that night, in the moon light With water dripping down your forehead

Was it you, who bathed in the lotus pond?

Oh! Charming man, Please look for a moment nigh

You who came on a white horse... Yield to the inspired utterance of my eyes

In the moonlit night, while bathing in the lotus pond...

Wasn't it your eyes, that were roving over me?

In the moonlit night, while bathing in the lotus pond...

Wasn't it your eyes, that were roving over me?

Leave me

Why did your cupid-arrows, smite my heart?

Why did your cupid-arrows, smite my heart?

Why did a glance at you make me crave for you?

The image in the moonlight Still haunt my dreams at night

The image in the moonlight Still haunt my dreams at night

I crave with longing for you

And the jewelled belt at my waist, refuses to stay in place

O Fragrant bud, Please stop for a second near

Open your ruby-red lips and utter the words I wish to hear

In the moonlit night, while bathing in the lotus pond...

Wasn't it your eyes, that were roving over me?

On that night, in the moon light With water dripping down your forehead

Was it you, who bathed in the lotus pond?

Though we were like aliens How did our hearts get enticed with love?

Though we were like aliens How did our hearts get enticed with love?

You and I are strangers, yet how did we unite?

You touched me only once, yet how my soul has blossomed!

You touched me only once, yet how my soul has blossomed!

Like a stream of water reaching fertile lands

How did our hearts entwine?

Should I repeat it several times?

What happened? - Go & see, everything's over

What's wrong?

They have given us our train tickets

Accountant was searching for you, go and meet him

What's wrong sir?

Sign the voucher & take your salary & ticket

The film has been shelved

Fate, it's God's will

Pay & send everyone back

Is it true that the film has been shelved?

Was I the reason? Was it shelved because I wasn't good?

No, a financial problem

They will start once it is settled

Don't say that, This is my maiden film as a hero

I am doomed if they shelve it

How can they stop when the film is half complete?

Look, I don't need a salary

I will even return what you have paid me till now

I will talk to everyone

We won't pay anyone till the films is complete

Let's start again...

What else can be done...

It's no use...

This film can't be completed

You don't give up, hard work always pays

You cannot help it if I am unlucky

I am delaying you...

Whatever happens I will never forget your help

Where is it? Your long strides of pride Your noble visions that guide?

Our film has been shelved

My first film as a hero

Your first film as dialogue writer

They have closed down everything

Films & money will come & go

Forget it

But they have wiped both of us off

A new history is born here today

A new party with new principles

A new path-community, language, intelligence, development

I am upset & you are talking politics!

Whit is important to you? Cinema or politics?

Your father's a teacher with a steady income

You learnt Tamil you are not starving

You eat at home & talk politics outside

Have you ever starved in you childhood?

Have you worked in drama troupes instead of going to school?

Ever watched your mother being slippered...

...because she couldn't repay loans?

- You have touched my heart my friend - Go man

If you ever enter politics, you will eat me alive

I am thinking of joining the army

Whatever you have obtained is only a handful

What you are gonna achieve is as large as the world

Choose one! Tamil cinema or politics?

Where is your long strides of pride, your noble visions that guide?

Where did your gallant sword go? And where is your valiant heart?

Those strong shoulders that never faced defeat?

Hope you won't be glum when I come back

I cannot solve all your problems

I am not a Goddess You can at least smile for me, can't you?

Get inside, dear

Why are you leaving me and going away?

- Your are the one who is sending me - Hey! You should not cry now

You hid something from me Why are you joining the army?

To get away from us?

Your are doing this to feed me

I can take care of myself

Don't sacrifice your desires for my sake

I won't go anywhere I will be here waiting

Yo must bring me back I won't come on my own

To accept small roles after being a hero is slightly difficult

- Mind your own business - I have seen many actors come and go

Director's coming...

Have you learnt your dialogue? Say it!

Is he good? He has destroyed my family

Killed my father, gave him a loan & then tortured...

Spoke ill about him for having borrowed...

To save his respect, he hung himself from a tree

You scamp! Even if an old man's corpse lies on the road...

You were happy with your... safe full of... money

You say the dialogue...

Is he good? He ruined my faimly killed my dad...

Come here, give his dress to him

Don't worry, you will get another role

Give him the Landlord's dress Veluthambi's doing the role

Then give him that constable's dress Get him ready before the Director screams

Don't be upset, accept any role that's offered

I will be branded 'Police Anand I am going home

Conceal your face with this beard

Let them think you are someone else Don't lose opportunity

Is he good? He has destroyed my family

Killed my father, gave him a loan & then tortured...

Spoke ill about him for having borrowed...

To save his respect, he hung himself from a tree

Where is the dialogue?

Came to see your son doing exra roles?

Pushpa...

Pardon me son-in-law Pushpa has left us

It was only a fever but it proved fatal

As we are alive

We have buried here and not cremated

I want to see her face

I want to see her face how could you do this?

Ask them to dig I want to see her face, how could you?

Come soon... Director Jeevaraj is waiting for you

- But he has seen me, before... - I don't know that, but he has called you

- For which role? - Role of a hero

- For me? Oh! God! - Hurry!

- Sir... - Come Anand, lost weight?

- Not exercising? - You asked for me...

Yes, I did, I didn't know then You were good in Arjundas' film

- But the film was shelved - I saw bits of it, you have potential

I have recommended you to the producer They are thinking about it

Go & meet the producer He is there outside

Ask him about the role

- What role is it? - The hero

- Go and meet him - Thank God!

Your daughter's unable to tolerate this pain

Go and get a saree and hot water

Where are you going? Your wife's in labour and...

- Your are going for a party meeting - He never told us...

Anand asked me to deliver this bring you along

We are about to attain one of our choices

Come soon - From Anand

It is a baby boy Look at you father...

Sir... writer Tamil Selvam he writes well...

I know, I have seen his plays

What kind of a job do you expect?

I write stories & dialogue...

- Can you write songs? - Oh! Yes...

A brave Tamilian has to rescue an abducted princess

A song by the hero on horse back

- Please repeat - A brave Tamilian has to...

We'll award this body for the land For Tamil, our life we shall grant!

- Let's say this loud & clear - Revolutionaly Hero...

To bind the races Let's take weapons of might that is new

And Princess should be brought back...

If cunning foxes intrude our winning path To heaven we shall feast fast!

We'll award this body for the land For Tamil, our life we shall grant!

Let's say this loud & clear

We'll award this body for the land For Tamil, our life we shall grant!

Let's say this loud & clear To bind the races...

Let's take the weapons of might that is new

If cunning foxes intrude our winning path To heaven we shall feast fast!

We'll award this body for the land For Tamil, our life we shall grant!

Let's say this loud & clear To bind the races...

Let's take the weapons of might that is new

If cunning foxes intrude our winning path To heaven we shall feast fast!

For a new born to walk Spare a spear to stalk

If a child is born dead, A soldier's funeral it shall get

When war drums start beating Our love-making shall cease

We shall fill the tanks with blood and pluck victory with ease

Legs which encroaches into our nation will become our land's manure

Hands that touch our women will become firewood

We'll award this body for the land For Tamil, our life we shall grant!

Let's say this loud & clear To bind the races...

Let's take the weapons of might that is new

VEERAPRADHAPAN

- Welcome... Hello... - Anand has come to join our party

Having adored Gandhi &Netaji as my leaders...

...I have been walking on the path shown by them

After them, I worship only you as my leader

I wish to join the party & serve the people...

If the star on the sky adorns a shoulder it pleases all

I am happy... Glad...

Poet Madhivannan, Tamil Arasan, Cuddalore Kannappan

The youth wing Rest are workers from Madurai, come...

Long live, leader

Tell me the truth

Why this sudden love for politics? Why did you join the party?

Are you the sole owner of Tamil Nadu Politics?

Do we have to enroll Movie stars in our party?

Does our party need this ostentation?

You're a success due to our principles and dialogues

To make it everlasting you've joined the party...

...and your sudden love for politics Am I right?

What have you got against films? After all we are all from the theatre

To exploit cinema for political aspirations is different

But using politics to rise in films should be condemned

I thought, you will be happy with my decision

If only we join hands, we'll be the monarchs of the world

Our party has grown due to orations, articles, philosophy & drama

Tomorrow can't films also be a tool?

Steps taken with the purest of intentions Will make us attain the unattainable

Let our horizons expand! Let our ambitions soar!

Let the world mutely wonder At our camaraderie!

Cinema is a science; not a demon

Let's use Anand for the party's upliftment. O. K?

Let us live to achieve this or else give up this life as tinsel!

You're unhappy with my decision

Serve him properly Give it to me

Is he doing it sincerely or pretending?

- He cooks well too Doesn't rely on anyone -Eat

They're all my relatives I've told them to remain in the kitchen

They want to see you If not interested, doesn't matter

- Go out - No, call them, -Come on

She is my niece, her sister where's brother-in-law?

- Then these kids... - Have you all eaten?

Speak to him... They wanted to talk to you

Get up... wash your hands... come with me...

He hasn't eaten...

Come soon

Go & see

This is power...

Lenin, Stalin, Hitler toiled hard to get this

The power to reach the hearts of the people

- I'm only an actor... - They don't think so

Look, they've your image inscribed in their hearts

They'll sacrifice their lives for you

What do you intend to do with this?

- What should I do? - Don't ignore this

Expand it multifold Exploit it for our party's principles

Everything relies on your face & that silver screen

Don't say no to reservations

Only solution to society's high & low is reservation

The enslaved should rule us in future

We'll arrest them if you say

This is what they want... Why are you lying down here?

The down-trodden & backward community

...should have reservations This is our aim

Enforce a rule in favour of reservations or else we fall dead there

- This is a hindrance to public - Let the public oppose our movement...

- Please get up... - Sounds of our request...

...or of the agony when we lie crushed under the train...

...should be audible to the power at Delhi

Long live Tamil...

Only solution to society's high & low is reservation

Long live Tamil...

Don't say no to reservations

Long live Tamil

Only solution to society's high & low is reservation

- Take them to the van - Long live Tamil Selvan

This protest will continue

Won't stop till we achieve our goal

The Flower is the stem's smile The wave is the river's smile

The rain is the cloud's smile And you are the smile of my love

The Flower is the stem's smile The wave is the river's smile

The rain is the cloud's smile And you are the smile of my love

The full moon is a month's smile

How in your approach does blossom my life's smile?

My life's smile...

The Flower is the stem's smile The wave is the river's smile

The rain is the cloud's smile And you are the smile of my love

If your shadow falls on the ground...

I will carry it on my lap

If your shadow falls on the ground I will carry...

She would have slipped

If your shadow falls on the ground I will carry it on my lap

When you get wet in the rain I'll wipe you with a gentle breeze

Test me one day and your wish will be my command

Your wish will be my command

Correct the sound and go to the earlier position

I am changing, please wait outside

Don't act smart with me

Why are you flirting with him?

Trying to seduce him?

Have you forgotten what I have done for you?

Remember my sacrifices to make you an actress?

But you are having a gala time and clad in colourful sarees

- Go out - Shut up

Who helped you to come up in life?

I've spent a fortune to make you a star What have your parents done for you?

- You have just used me - I'll thrash you

- I've left my wife & kids at home... - What are you doing?

Just for you...

- Ungrateful bitch... - Leave me

Flirting right under my nose?

How dare you? I'll teach you...

All are waiting... - Coming

The Flower is the stem's smile The wave is the river's smile

The rain is the cloud's smile And you are the smile of my love

The sky without its blue...

...is like a house without a roof

The sky without its blue is like a house without a roof

The horizon without the sun...

...is like a forehead without vermillion

And if you turn away from me...

My life has no guarantee

Sir come, let's go...

We were unaware of your public support outside

We have orders to release you

Long live the brave Tamil Selvan

I won't go there again

He's capable of anything

My parents are also on his side

They hit me

I don't want films or money

I want a place to live

This sword is not a gift for my achievements

But it's a foundation stone for my future work

Don't think, I'll crave for a golden sword, next time

After I sacrifice myself in this revolution...

...My leader will shed tears over my corpse

...This is the gift I crave for in this world

- Actor Anand will speak now - Why involve me? Oh! Poet!

Am I a stage orator? No

- Am I an eloquent speaker? - No

- Fluency over Tamil? - No

- Can I talk poetically? - No

But I know to voice my opinion

- I know to speak the truth - Yes

We've one leader... Veluthambi's our leader

One commander Tamil Selvam is our commander

Your friend's clever...

He knows, how to lure the mass towards him

If our commander orders us to rise...

If our blood is needed for the coming elections. We're ready...

Smart friend

I'm going to marry Ramani...

- Any luggage to lift...? - No

Greetings! The train has arrived so early

Selvam has sent us here

Senthamarai An own house in Madurai...

...employed at a Govt. school...

...and you're earning Rs 300/- Next year it will be Rs. 450/-

Father's pension is Rs. 150/- You've a comfortable family

We searched frantically for 2 months...

To find the whereabouts of my Senthamarai

They thought I was mad

Am I the only mad one here?

When I wrote to you to come to Madras...

...You left everything & came, Why?

For your four lines of poetry...

...You called and I came...

I walked out of home for you...

But who am I here?

My love...

My desire... My friend

Every moment that I spent with you...

...is unforgettable even in my death bed

90 minutes was all that we touched & embraced

But it feels in my heart as if 800 years have raced

A few minutes in glances A few minutes in fear

A few minutes embraced A few minutes in tears

Norms ignored on your body entire...

I planted kisses, a few minutes of desire

Every moment that I spent with you...

...is unforgettable even in my death bed

Did not bother about right or wrong

Did not realise whether day or night

Who should start & who should end We seemed to have no clue

We were in this together And that my love, is surely true

Apprehension I abandoned Your desire shone through

The moment I disrobed Shyness overcame you

What my eyes feasted on disappeared like a dream that flashes past

But the tears you shed in the end still moist in my palm are all that last

Delhi rule couldn't put an end to starvation

But we will, when we come to power

Because it will your rule

- What's wrong? - Just fever...

My small token for the coming election...

The party doesn't need your money Reach the common man

Votes will pile up automatically

I've become a star, because of this party

The party has decided to make you contest this time

Despite opposition 'Ayya' has decided

I was the one who opposed it

Many have served the party

Instead of giving them a seat...

...to give it to an actor though my best friend

...is not permissible

But 'Ayya' didn't accept that He said, you were our mascot

Enough of being a well wisher

Take a step forward

Whether we sit as the opposition or the ruling party in the Assembly

...relies on you three

Will I win if I contest?

Even if God is your opponent, you will win

- What's her name Kanchana? - No Kalpana

Hello Mr. Opposition! What's the answer to my question?

For a long time I've been waiting and right now I am 1 8

Hello Mr. Opposition! What's the answer to my question?

For a long time I've been waiting and right now I am 1 8

My love, my love... I won't let you go

I'll hold your hand forever I'll never let you go

Eyes are true, Beauty is true I won't let you leave me!

Hello Mr. Opposition! What's the answer to my question?

For a long time I've been waiting and right now I am 1 8

Darling, If we separate if our love withers...

A world war will erupt in our hearts

If you ever forget If you disappear from my sight

My eyes will become a desert

The union of young hearts is bound to end in desperation

But if opposite poles unite there shall never be separation

Our love shall inspire poetry

Hello Mr. Opposition! What's the answer to my question?

For a long time I've been waiting and right now I am 1 8

Even if roots are separated from the earth Even if the sky loses its blue

Even if the eyes lose their sparkle I will never leave you!

If literature & Tamil get dispersed If sound is separated from music

If rhythm is dispersed from tune I will never leave you

My mother gave birth to me to live with you

May be my fate is to unite with you

Was the day I saw you a golden one?

Hello Mr. Opposition! What's the answer to my question?

For a long time I've been waiting and right now I am 1 8

Tell him to stop

If not interested We'll book Girija Rani instead

She was getting stale So I thought...

- O.K. I'll tell her - What's wrong with you? She's good

- I don't want her Don't interfere -I like her

- You won't get one like her - You will feel sorry -Don't reject her

- She is educated -I am going Are you coming or not?

The girl is lovely, don't wait Pay her the advance immediately

- I will convince him - OK

I know, I am right Don't worry, everything will be fine

- Stand up Kalpana... - Why should I?

This is democracy All are equal here

School & Cinema are different

Nothing wrong in wishing a senior artist

This is not about democracy Get up

Why did you leave me and go away?

I loved you more than my life

I worship you daily in the temple of my heart

Have you forgotten my eyes?

Your lover questions you Answer me!

'Kneel down before your conscience & ask'

He has skipped the dialogue...

I won't come to the sets Do what you like

I neither want to act nor be in the movies

Look, Anand is waiting for you in the sets

It's a crime to laugh or talk I shouldn't sit or stand

Whatever I do is wrong I don't want this grandma

- Look, the producer has come - I'm not coming, Sir

- I don't like that man - Watch your tongue

He is constantly staring at me Am I a demon or a ghost?

I don't want cinema I'll go & study

- Are you coming for the shooting or not? - Say yes

I'm one among the thousand in a group

Order me, I'll be the commander of the troop

If I set my mind and wish something, it will fructify

After it fructifies faces of the poor will smile in mirth

If I call the mountains, rivers and seas

Will march along with me

If the world should shut it's doors...

...I'll kick it & it shall open...

If the burdened heart in courage rises

The doors of heaven to the poor shall open

I'm one among the thousand in a group

Order me, I'll be the commander of the troop

Be it a King...

Be it a Queen...

...I'll fight forjustice...

I'll always support the righteous

Before their sweat touches the earth

The toiling masses will be paid their worth

I'll forever stand by truth

If the world should shut it's doors...

...I'll kick it & it shall open...

If the burdened heart in courage rises

The doors of heaven to the poor shall open

I'm one among the thousand in a group

Order me, I'll be the commander of the troop

Let revolution blossom

Let happiness spread

Let the sun in every home sparkle on its own...

Let life dawn bright...

Let poverty disappear out of sight

The world belongs to the working class

This truth, let them cherish

So, let the rising sun, rise

Let the ignorant masses arise

If old rivals raise their heads

Use the sword & mind to stay ahead

Shouldn't you be there in your position?

Don't forget our symbol

- Anand was shot dead - What do you mean?

- Who did this? - I don't know

- Who said that he is dead? - That's what all are saying

Entire Tamilnadu is shedding tears over this incident

For actor Anand

There's just one way out of this

Let Veluthambi form the ruling party

This is a plot by crooks to threaten our foundation

Usually a dummy pistol is used while shooting a film

But to shoot in the neck with a real pistol...

...can't be taken as an accident. It's unbelievable

If we vote for the ruling party they promised us all comforts

But everything is barren here

Enough of public getting duped all these years

Don't get duped in the coming elections Don't forget your emblem

If only we join hands We will be the Monarchs of the world

Steps taken with pure intention will make us attain the unattainable

- Did your party win? - 158 seats for us

Have a look

Welcome

The brave knows no pain & a worker knows no rest

I knew, you'll be OK

I heard, you've taken a major decision

Don't strain, You'll recoup faster with complete rest

Our party, without you

I've decided to quit politics

How can we expect a teacher to appear for an exam?

The party's orphaned without you

My brothers are strong and wise

Select a chief from amongst you

Form a Govt. & make our dreams come true

You got discharged yesterday & without taking rest

Why has 'Ayya' decided to quit?

A few want Madhivannan as the chief minister

- Some want me to contest - You?

What's our chief saying? What do you feel?

Half the party's waiting for your decision

- What did Madhivannan say? - Ignore him

Leave the responsibility to me

Shall we go?

under the leadership of Veluthambi

Our party has won an overwhelming majority in the elections

As he has decided to retire from active politics

we've gathered here to select a leader

We can select one person unanimously

Voting becomes necessary in case of more than one

Now each one of us can voice our choice

I propose Madhivannan's name for the post of Chief Minister

I second that

- I propose Selvam's name - I second him

I support it support it

By the way, who is Pushpa?

You called her once when you were wounded

Once when you were semi conscious

Twice outside the hospital in all 4 times. Who's Pushpa?

What is the connection?

If I could picturise the reverse of her, that's you...

How...?

- Pushpa's very humble - I...

You don't know the meaning of the word "humble"

Pushpa's wise a lady of few words

One should pay you to be quiet

Pushpa's a homely girl with long hair, patient & soft

Very quiet, gives respect to elders, lovely nature

Continue...

You're arrogant as you're educated

Your hi-fi English proud that you are educated...

Always waiting to topple someone

Why did you call me Pushpa, then?

Why did you call me Pushpa?

You both have the same face

Same eyes, nose, mouth

An unbelievable resemblance

You're lying... I don't believe you

I can't bring her here to prove it

- Why? Is she dead? - The same face...

I don't believe that But it is good

Was she your wife?

- Careful - Were you deeply in love with her?

Are you going to fall in love with me too

Look, I have the same eyes, nose and face

Don't you feel the same love?

Tell me about Pushpa else I'll jump into the water

Then the film will be shelved

and the producer will go bankrupt

Sit here your dress will get wet

Then tell me...

If I had not married you what would you have done?

- I would have gone to jail - Jail?

With Gandhiji or with kasturba...

...I would be in morchas holding the flag

I wouldn't have gone on hunger strikes

Police would have arrested me...

- You're stuck with me instead? - Yes

I'll hit you

Mother my wife is hitting me

Then...

What's this glittering?

Meenalochani had put them on her cheeks

She was a princess How did it get stuck on my forehead?

- Did you stand very close to her? - Yes, like this...

Then...

Tell me more

The rain won't stop now Tell me

When you embraced her what did you think?

- About another girl - Who?

With big eyes, tiny hands cuts mouth, little sense

- Me? - Yes!

- What are you thinking now? - About her

- A mole. Can't be removed - Is it to ward off evil eyes?

You think you're a beauty? Shall I tell the truth?

Bulging eyes, blunt nose, flat mouth

Only this mole is round perfect & beautiful

- Shall I take it? - No, you can't

Oh! White moon...

I've fallen in love

In my eyes is the drizzle of wine

It was love at first sight

Baited like a fish O pure one you became

Am I the reason? Tell me

My man, what did you see to become bewitched

Why did your eyes look love lorn?

You were born elsewhere

I was born elsewhere

Yet at one glance, you drank my soul!

If I close my eyes, your eyes come & pinch my heart

If I go to bed, the night just extends on

From the roots I shiver

To whom this do I utter?

Turn the vehicle

- I'm Perumal speaking - Yes, tell me

C. M's going to Patel road house - He may be late

Ok

What are you staring at?

I am the same man. Haven't changed

No, in this one year everything is different

- What? - The way you walk, talk

Your thoughts Men around you, waiting with guns

Everything is changed

Your taste for love has also changed

You are not the same poet anymore

I've studied in an open air school in a village

But I'm the chief minister today

I'm ignorant about economics Unaware of industry

No knowledge about finance

but I'll be more popular than the previous Ministers

Turn...

Ask the I.A. S officers under me

Then what are you so worried about?

W o r r y...

Does it show?

Maragatham is better for me

This was the reason educated girls weren't preferred

Why are you worried, oh poet?...

Every moment that I spent with you...

Is unforgettable even in my death bed...

Remain the same... don't change!

Haven't changed, have you?

- About Pushpa... - No talk about her

Is C. M your dear friend?

How much do you like him?

How much do you hate him?

You didn't know that yourself, did you?

Forgotten Pushpa & now started with politics, have you?

Don't you wish to be the C. M?

Anyone in your position will wish for that

- Careful -Aren't you both friends? Now who is bigger than the other?

Why are you interested in politics? - Why shouldn't I be?

- Who brought you up? - No parents or kith & kin

I grew up on my own like plants and trees...

Careful... what is this?

Call me Pushpa or else I'll jump out of the jeep

Are you mad?

- Call me Pushpa or I'll jump - OK, jump

I am not hurt

I didn't get hurt, I'm alive

- What is this? - Nothing

Why did you put it on?

For fun, I'll wipe it off

Don't! let it be

Something chilly caressed the grass

A flower bloomed suddenly

Perplexed breeze enquired about it

Femininity revealed the truth Let's go

This is what I was scared of - What?

- I was scared this would happen - What?

While the bee dozed off with flower... - Keep quiet -Let's go

While the river dozed off with the tides...

While you were sleeping with me... Let's go.

The love in me bloomed!

It is time for the meeting They'll start at six

Who is the first speaker?

When is selvam' s speech?

Chief Minister will speak last... after Madhivanan

It'll take 1 1/4 hrs atleast

You should be on the dais, before he begins...

- I'll go when Selvam starts his speech - Ok sir

Are you deliberately going late?

Why are you going late?

Don't tell me! I understand...

Will you take me with you? I want to meet your friend

This party has ruled only for 3 years

But it is progressing with a youth's enthusiasm

This is the time for us to feel proud

How many vital plans...

I will take care...

Anand has come to meet you

Let him wait - No Ilango

While at Theni you have stayed in his house

Periyakulam Arumugam

Come in

- Why this sudden visit? - Any problem in the party?

Be patient, you will know when the time comes

I heard that you are going to expand the ministry

Who told you?

You should give me the portfolio of Medicine

Health Ministry?

'Ayya' has promised me a place

Am I not worth the post of a Minister?

Your services to the party are invaluable

When the ministry was formed initially...

I placed your name in the list

But the working commiittee said that...

If Anand were to be made a Minister...

...he should quit the films.

I argued, but in vain

So you won't give me the portfolio

If you quit films...

- Even tomorrow... - Tomorrow?

You will become the minister

He is doing it deliberately, he is jealous

We have given him the power

He is showing his true colours now

When the crowd mobbed you at the meeting

He was very upset

He has come to power because of you

He shouldn't forget that

I knew long ago, only you think of him as a friend

But he...

If ungreatful men get power...

Stop the car

Get out...

Aren't you ashamed trying to create a rift between friends?

One more word against the C. M I will hit you

Go home, walking...

Is she asleep?

Is it true, Anand was denied the post of a Minister?

The working committee decided that

Don't lie!

He is an actor! How can we make an actor a minister?

Are all the present members in the ministry geniuses?

You are a teacher teaching hundreds of children

Aren't you ashamed to ask me to offer a seat to an actor?

Shall I make him the industry Minister

Or the Minister of Educaton?

Shall I tell you what I think?

You are worried he may become your rival

He is a celebrity

Has the support of M.L. A's too

You are afraid he will supercede you!

Anand a C. M...?

What happens to the party?

You are not thinking of party, but yourself

Yes, I am I want to be known...

...as the best C. M!

Among my predecessors and successors

I should be quoted as the ideal CM

What is wrong wit h that?

- Is there honesty & justice in this Govt? - CM has to answer this question

A coin has 2 sides like this house

Head on one side & a tail on the other

Head without a tail won't give it a gloss

If the head is scrapped off, it ceases to be a coin

So with the intention of destroying the ruling party

Don't make baseless allegations

C. M with his rhetoric...

is trying to disguise the truth

C. M is trying to shield the guilty Minister

We don't want the niceties of Tamil

What we want is action

The tiger whose blood diffused the

fragrance of the spirit of revolution

The poet, whose immortal songs

are but translations of his ideals

...has been snatched away from us by sadist death!

Oh! great soul, whom shall we revere?

Oh! You, the giver of true wisdom & reason

Alas! have you become but an illusion?

I am not going to read a poem

Not going to shed a few tears and go away

I want an answer to my questions

Why should 'Ayya' leave us like orphans suddenly?

This condolence meeting and few tear drops won't do

We must prove our caliber to the public

Those in power should publicise their wealth

Corruption in the party has caused leader's death

Read this, you called him brother, didn't you?

See, what he has said

He spoke against the party again in Salem

He is angry that the party is not dancing to his tunes

He thinks only he is influential with the masses

He thinks no one can question his movements

He feels, he is superior to the C. M

The working committee is waiting for your opinion

Greetings! What have you decided?

It would be easy to decide with your opinion

A few want Anand to be expelled from the party

Others feel the party will be split, if he is expelled

I want to convey an important message

They have expelled you from the party

Who told you?

Our men have just arrived from the committee meeting

Don't know, whether it is temporary or permanent

- Leader - Long live

Silence

Silence

There is a news that you have been expelled

I too heard

We won't accept that

Is this news genuine? - I am happy if it is!

Today is a happy day in my life

Suppose you are expelled permanently...

Freedom...

What do you plan to do?

I am going to treat you all with sweet

- Leader - Long live

Have sweet porridge Then you will ask.

Have it

Have sweet porridge Take it.

Freedom...

Freedom...

Don't blind fold your eyes Don't believe all that you see

A crow can't become a cuckoo, my friend

Are all the bearded men Tagore?

Are all the moustached men Bharati? (Poet)

Don't get carried away by appearance my friend...

- There's no burden in your laps - There is no fear...

- There are no stains in our hearts - There are no smears!

Till we attain our aspirations

Oh friend!

The people are on my side...

The evening breeze is on my side...

The chirping sparrows are on my side...

The plants & trees are on my side...

The poor Tamilians on my side

The womenfolk are forever on my side

All directions are on my side Don't sigh!

Only the coward will brandish a sword

The brave will rely only on truth

If the working class unite...

Flags & fort will change in minutes!

Don't you ask me to stay away

Don't dream that I will fall

By throwing around money

You can never buy charity

The clouds that shower silver rain...

Will not pour at your call...

The public will not bend for money

They will not fall!

Fill the silver lining appears

Only darkness shall resign

Then east brightens

Darkness will end...

A new dawn it shall send!

Delhi has planned to topple this government

This govt has the people's mandate

CM is casting aspersions on Central govt

Those who were with us

stand today as our opposition in Delhi...

...and are plotting to topple our rule...

Shouldn't talk about those not present in house

We have come to the place where we belong

- Was I wrong in questioning them? - No

They can throw me out of the party

- Can they throw me out of your hearts? - No

In Vilathikulam, we are leading by 1 1000 votes

In Mayavaram leading by 8000 votes

Messages are pouring from all places

We are leading in Aruppukottai by 25000 votes

- 27 - That is Vilathikulam

I am coming after voting for the first time

For the anger I have for you

I should have gone away from you

Or I should have died

But I have come after voting for you

I know why you didn't come to the temple

In a weak moment you said that you will marry me

But afterwards you regretted it

Don't use Ramani as the reason I won't believe that

Your colleagues would have advised you...

...that you have started a party and election is in progress

...that it would be bad for your image...

...to have an actress as a 2nd new wife

with crying or sobing...

...the dead won't return

What happened?

Come, what happened?

- Our party is leading in 62 seats - They?

158 leading Recounting in 4 places

Don't want...

We are leading in 62, they in 158

Recounting in 4 places

That is our way too

I feel light...

I have an intelligent daughter

I feel like watching you

Let Anand keep that crown of thorns

I am the opposition

Can't you let it go

Now I will be asking the questions...

And that actor will have to reply

When I open my eyes you stand in front of me

When I close my eyes

You are the cynosure of my dreams

It is your turn now

Mother... - Me?

The gentle breeze that caressed us will visit tomorrow also

I keep me awake with hope...

- Today left alone ...My heart is too feeble to receive it

It is my turn...

Greetings sir! We've got the Gupta commission report

This is enough to dismiss the Govt

If we play it right

What happened to Gupta commission?

Home minister was not hurt

But the congress leaders were hurt

Tomorrow when the Prime Minister arrives...

...under Selvam's leadership...

...they are planning a procession

Promulgate 1 44 order

If they breach that...

Arrest Tamil Selvam...

- lf we arrest him - lf we do?

How could they arrest you?

They expected problems in many places

If I am to say You have emerged victorious

What do you call a victory?

To arrest an old friend and jail him?

I did not mean that

- Have you eaten? - No

Please come - No sir -Come

Why did you resign?

I wish to say something as a party member

Did I tell you that I will not listen?

Last week, I was offered Rs.60 lakhs for my signature

If it is 60 lakhs for a 10crore project...

...then in a budget of 7500crores...

...how much would the other Ministers be getting?

The people trust you Atleast for that faith...

...the people around you should not be corrupt

That is why sincere men like you are in the Council

To lend a blind eye to a mistake is wrong

Have people given us power to benefit the ministry?

Why did not you raise this in Selvam's regime?

Why are you raising it now, when you should have done so, then?

We came here as we knew what happened was wrong

So I left that party and joined your party

The Treasury was empty We said that they plundered the state

What do you think is happening here, now?

It is happening ten times more than that

Do you include yourself in the scam...

...or am I included too? - No... I mean...

My esteemed leader's lovable public...

Today, on his death Anniversary...

We expect your help

Tell Kalpana that I want her to return

Don't come to Madras without her Shall we go?

He has not been cheerful for a long time

He has called you for a good reason

- I think, he has big plans for you - Stop praising me unnecessarily...

There is a rumour that C.M. is refusing to meet the press

Have the people entrusted an ordinary responsibility to me?

We are the mirrors of the ruling party, are we not?

Just as a fan's applause for an actor...

...people's vote to a politician ...only these are mirrors

- Then we are? - Magnifying glasses...

Magnifying everything out of proportion

We will write whatever you say, without magnifying

Did C.M. feel, that the two parties should not have separated?

Why did this friendship terminate?

- A car on Ooty Road... - Who...?

- Nambi was also in it... - Who?

- We have found the Nambi's body... - Kalpana? - We are searching

- That would be all - One last question

One last question

It is our family function

Today is a happy day for all of us

C.M. is coming, they wanted you to know...

You take care of your C. M I will take care of myself

Marriage is an agreement between two persons

This idea was not accepted on those days

Had not Veluthambi struggled for it...

...several of us would have gone unnoticed by the public

But for him we are holding certain posts

If he has not done hard work... If he has not start this...

Greetings!

It is a pleasure to have the ex-C.M. and the present C. M...

...and others in such an idealist's family's wedding

- Come - I will sit there

These leaders have come to grace this occasion

Amidst difference in ideologies...

It is 5:30 You wanted to go for the campaign...

They will be waiting...

What's wrong... what has happened?

Wake up

Open your eyes...

What happend to you?

Wake up

Open your eyes

- Sir C. M... - Call me C.M. after I win

C.M. Anand is dead

Must be a rumour

No, Arivazhagan had phoned But it has not been declared officially

Dressing is going on Please wait

Hello Sir, the crowd is increasing

It may become a security risk... so...

My dearest friend... My alter-ego!...

A precious shower of gems... Where are you wandering?

Once upon a time, in the prime of our youth...

...we ate together, we dreamt together

Those memories... Tears well up, And I choke with emotion!

Our gazes differ, But our dreams cohere

Our desires differ, But thoughts are similar

Our bastions differ, But our policies are similar

You are a legend... who yearned to be ever victorious

Are still in the vanguard... even in death

Where are the hands that crowned my victory?

Where are the fingers that wiped away my tears?

Where is the voice that sounded like the sweet melody of the flute?

Where are those lips that wore the pearl-words of my dialogues?

Where are those shoulders that held me aloft?

Alas! Will you never deign to see me again?

No trace of bitterness left

No stamp of enemity felt

No anodyne equals death in cleansing the heart...

I longed to speak with, but I could not...

I yearned to caress and comfort you...

But I could not...

Today, I long to kiss your rose-face...

But I cannot...

I want to check the flow of my gushing tears, but I cannot

Good bye, my friend!

Spare a little space for me by your eternal bed

For this earthly sojourn is bound to end in death

If another golden moment. comes in search of me...

...if another opportune time, blesses me with the scepter...

Yours dreams and my dreams...

...will be realised in a trice

And that happy news, will reverberate inside your grave!
