'1 Year Earlier'

'Chithamur'

'Nagesh Theater'

'Today'

Are all girls like this?

Will you eat breakfast without brushing your teeth?

'He is our film's hero'

'His name is Naga'

'His job is what a jobless chap with great difficulty gets his hands into'

'I mean, broker'

'His friends ridicule him to such an extent for not clinching a single deal'

'...because integrity is his motto'

You owe me 500 bucks

- So far you've lost 10 times - Why did she lose to you?

She said I would take a commission some day

As usual she lost the bet

Hey! Lakshmi Finish your breakfast

I am totally broke

Will you give your bro 500 bucks?

What an easy way out!

Bless you, bro

Has he taken a vow not to earn at all?

Ma, jobless officer is here

'I will keep in mind your mind voice'

Drink your coffee

One who lacks intelligence is a fool

You know how intelligent you are

But though he is intelligent he doesn't know to earn

He is a real foolish fool!

Why are you raising your voice now?

Your younger brother owns a car You ride a bike

That too, the bike he bought for you

He paid only the initial payment

I'm paying the EMIs

Those who dotted the i's never prospered!

The silent ones achieved their goals

I'll give you an idea to come up in life

Will you listen to me?

Ma, is this your brilliant idea?

You'll know tomorrow

Ma, many didn't progress in life because they got married

Only if you get a wife you'll lead a good life

- Whose pearl of wisdom is this? - Astrologer!

I'll get married only after I find a groom for my younger sister

If she pins her hopes on you

...she will end up only as 'Avvaiyar'!

I know how to find a suitable boy for Lakshmi

Zip your lips!

I won't look at any girl

I'll just say I don't like her and leave

- You'll be dead meat then - What is our groom saying?

You're busy with your 'mixture'

If you call the bride we can meet her

I get this rare chance to eat only on such occasions

Let me call her

Aramana Gayathri Suba Sree Himaja

She has a long name You can shorten it

'This is our heroine'

'Not just her name Her wish list also rolls to a mile!'

'Recently a few girls insisted on the groom landing in a helicopter'

'And give the bride 500 sovereigns as dowry!'

'She belongs to that list'

'She wants to marry a software engineer'

'And not just USA, she wants to settle down in Jupiter!'

Take a look

Hey! Look at her

'Another slave for life bites the dust'

'My daughter seems to sail in the same slave boat!'

'He refused to look and now he's all eyes!'

'Don't embarrass me, sit down'

Do you work in Infosys or TCS?

I'm Nagesh

My friends call me Naga

Aren't you a software engineer?

Sir, is it 2 BHK or 3 BHK?

I have a soooper party, sir

We can close the deal tomorrow

Please remove the 'To Let' board, sir

'What 'To Let' board'?

My mother said my life will change if you're my wife

She was 100% right

The moment I saw you I concluded a deal

Where do you work?

Where is 8th street in Lakshmi nagar?

Give him directions to Lakshmi nagar

I don't know

She doesn't know it seems

You're this area's broker's daughter? And you don't know?

Give him directions Broker's daughter!

How long? I'm starving

Just 5 more minutes and I'll be done

Why did you marry him knowing he's a real estate agent?

His parents lied to me saying he is a bank employee

'As if she is a collector!'

My blessed fate I'm living with him

You put up with him

If I had been in your shoes I would have strangled him

I'm being teased wherever I go as 'broker's daughter'

I feel so humiliated

Let this torture end with me

I've found the perfect boy for you

He is too good to be true

I was told you are a software engineer

That's why I agreed to meet you

You don't like me or my job now?

I don't like your job

So I don't like you either

Then girls prefer the profession to the actual person!

Not knowing whether it is day or night...

...working like a madcap in cool comfort and ruining their health

To set that right they will spend beyond their means, borrowing money

- You want only them? - Yes

Earning 50,000 per month and paying EMI to the tune of 55000

...is a software engineer's job

A broker lies through his teeth and exaggerates to the core

Sells his soul for a commission Isn't that your job?

Hey! Even if God orders me...

...this gentleman broker Nagesh won't sell his integrity

Then you wouldn't have clinched even 1 deal?

'Even she knows, huh?'

Not just a house broker

You aren't fit to be even a hustler!

I don't like you

Good bye, miss Aruvamanai Gayathri Suba Sree Himaja

Aruvamanai means 'chopper'

They grabbed the fritter from your hands, huh?

Listen to me, all ears

Nowadays girls are very shrewd

They show their smart-ass side even to the smartest groom ever

Sir being jobless-

Ouch! It hurts Wait, dear

If I take a dig at him...

...don't know from where your anger erupts, clear off now

You can have your 'anna' all to yourself, see you

Will I get the perfect match?

In your dreams!

They hang up on me as soon as I mention your job

Don't know where I'll find the perfect match for him!

Only if the eldest son is settled well in life...

...the whole family will prosper

Please listen to me

Take up some other job

Okay, right?

In my times though you won't find too many literates around...

...they were all intelligent

Now the literate and the illiterate are a bunch of nincompoops!

If you must work here...

...you need an intellect beyond normal intelligence

A grandma in Coimbatore and one in Ooty steam 'idli'

...in the same vessel at the same time

Which 'idli' will first get cooked?

I've asked this to 2883 people

Not one answered it right

- Ooty, sir - How?

More than Coimbatore Ooty is 7300ft above sea level

Atmospheric pressure there is low

Moisture in the air evaporates faster

Then won't the 'idli' in Ooty cook earlier?

This was a question in the 1979 IAS exam

The way you answered the most complicated question

...I know what a genius you must be and how much you would've studied

If I scrutinize your certificates even after this

Tell me, dear

I got a super job just as you wished

I am so happy for you

- Tell me - I studied MBA, correspondence

You can ask me any question you like, sir

Why waste time asking questions?

Being a girl is your most favourable qualification!

But you're so unlucky

I selected a boy for this post just now

Sir, did you select him of all people?

Indeed

Can I meet this genius just once?

This is very important

You'll find me a bride fairer and taller than her

I'll marry her

If the groom has a cushy job sky is the limit to find the right bride

I'll call you later, ma

Okay

Just like He heaped beauty on girls...

...God must have blessed men with intelligence

Didn't I mention the genius I appointed? That's him

Hello, Mr Broker Nagesh How are you?

- 'Broker?' - How could you appoint him?

Did you read his résumé thoroughly?

- No, I didn't - 5 attempts to pass his 10th grade

Passed his 12th grade after failing thrice

He took twice the normal time to secure a degree, that too scored around 40%

'She blew the whistle on me!'

He passed every time we held an election

So you want him? Or a gold medallist like me?

I am Aramana Gayathri Suba Sree Himaja

Good lord! You aced it

God seems to have blessed you with both beauty and brains

You'll be a real asset to this company, my dear

'You are the right choice'

You can keep this, my dear lad

If you don't get me wron-

Sir, the lamb always trusts the one who slaughters him

'Go ahead and employ this English madam'

I'll take leave, sir

'One day I'll get even with you!'

Not just 'that' job You aren't fit for any job!

Only the jobless will come to a park

What's so special about parking ourselves in this park?

I don't know We'll know soon

But whatever you say

...I won't spare that gold medallist who snatched that job from you

Thanks, friend We'll get even with her

Sir, take a look at this book It has all the details about this world

Please buy at least 1 book, madam

Is this some prize job? And she snatched it from you, eh?

Do I look like I read books?

Useful book, sir

Use or news Clear out!

How will I make out with my wife!

Did you get hurt in a delicate spot?

- Will you buy this book, bro? - No need, clear out!

- Yes, Himaja - I couldn't sell a single book

I don't want this job

If we provide 3 square meals a day and proper accommodation...

...500000 unemployed graduates are waiting in a queue

Try to adjust

It's okay I'll manage

So many unemployed graduates, huh?

Buy just 1 book, sir

- I'm not interested - 'Blockhead!'

Don't disturb me Go away!

Don't be a pain Clear out!

Will you buy a book, sir?

Got a book on the popular sex education show on TV?

Will you bring an aphrodisiac next time?

- '7 hours' - No, sir

'And what do you mean you haven't sold a single book?'

'If you don't sell those 100 books by this evening...'

'...don't step into our office'

'Popsicle is melting at 'kulfi' ice cream's dilemma!

'Disconnect now'

That's my father-in-law's cash

Give me 5 books

I need coaching for IAS exam

I'm considered a lucky mascot All your books will sell like hot cakes!

Himaja, where are your books?

I sold the entire lot

- Sold out? - Yes

Who bought them?

Look at this, we are stuck with the whole lot

'Wonder who was today's 1st buyer He is our lucky mascot!'

'I am considered a lucky mascot The books will sell like hot cakes'

I'll be back

'One book for all exams'

Book priced Rs 5000 at a discount of Rs 3000

IAS, IEES, TNBSC Govt exams, 1 book for all

'He holds a PhD in tricks of the trade'

Sweeping discount, sir

You won't get it for less anywhere else, sir

If you sell a book worth Rs 300 for Rs 3000

...knowing passers-by will make a beeline to her, your plan is too good

You are a genius, I swear!

Upright IAS officer Sagayam read this book

The book in Dr Abdul Kalam's library

Even if it's the last pie you must buy it from the Govt outlet, sir

Give me one of your books

Read this, you'll secure a Govt job

- 'Govt job at this age!' - How much is it?

Special rate by our firm, Rs 3000

Don't buy

A girl in there is selling the same book for Rs 300

They bought it from her and making a killing

- 'He hit the bull's eye!' - Go in and buy

Look how they con innocent people

If you had enhanced your job like this, you would be a bigshot by now

Your brain works extra bright only to hook the girl you flip for

Go light on this Come...buy this book, sir

Enough of studying for IAS exam!

Your cash...hold

'My father-in-law's cash is safe, thank God!'

"When our eyes meet secretly"

"My thoughts flee from me"

"Just looking at you will do"

"This thought besieges me somehow"

"Fresh time drizzle showers to dazzle"

"Will it drench the shoots right up to the roots?"

"2 hearts that unite as 1 soulfully"

"Reach a love-silence ever so lovely"

"When did you climb into my heart nimbly?"

"Even before I could see you became 'me' easily"

"This is a mere dream of delight"

"In a reverie, I yearn for it outright"

"I fall asleep only when I know it is not a dream but all so true"

"What will I do without you, my love?"

"If you merge with me I'll live on earth blissfully"

"Shall I wilt thinking of that day?"

"Or look for a place in your lap to stay?"

"When our eyes meet irresistibly"

"My senses get the better of me"

"Just looking at you is all I want to do"

"This need nourishes my mind anew"

Yov! Go and dry the rinsed clothes

- Don't be so rude to dad, ma - Why are you on his side?

Refer to him as 'mediator' decently

He has become as thin as a rake serving the whole town

You go dry the clothes

- Is there some hidden agenda in this? - Not at all

"The enticing evening glow"

"Involuntarily wanes its halo"

"My eyes search only for you voluntarily though"

"For the first time to a random stranger"

"I ask to share with fervor his name and address forever"

"To light the lamps auspicious"

"I will share your home as your princess"

"Tell me now Shall I, my love?"

Don't cry, you'll also find a dumbass husband who can cook

Add onion, onion 'dosa'

Mix egg, it's egg 'dosa' Roast it with ghee, ghee 'dosa'

- Don't add anything it's pan 'dosa' - Very confusing

From your 1st cup of coffee to massaging your feet at night

I'll take care

"Why does the path I take daily"

"Turn into a new route today differently?"

"Looking for you whole way through"

"My eyes are disappointed by the view"

"The moment I saw your smiling face I changed my wayward ways"

"I yearned to find a place on your loving lap always"

"As the gap widened, in pain I pined"

"Renouncing life a better option I opined"

"O' beautiful girl, my forever-find"

"This cloud caresses me gently"

"I didn't want to see this cloud right next to me"

"Monsoon showers only within me silently"

"Drenching me pitter-patter my fever shot up faster"

"When our eyes meet secretly"

"I somehow lose my sanity"

"Just looking at you is all I want to do"

"This urge ushered in my heart anew"

She loves you, right?

Tell him

- Why has she brought him here? - No clue

Doesn't look too good

What is love, sir?

Love is a physical outlet Whole world knows that

- What, sir? - He'll explain

Love isn't like a link between landlord and tenant

More like the ties between tenant and landlord

Inseparable bond

What do we call people who don't accept love?

There isn't any special term for them

Brother, don't join him and bore us to death

Come to the point

He is in love with a girl

But her family hasn't accepted

She is refusing to opt for a registered marriage

It would be great if you can convince her

Now she is turning you into a different kind of broker!

Serving love is as good as serving God

Who is that crackpot who refused to support this 'Arvind Swamy'?

Her family is very strict

That isn't a big deal Give me the details

She has 2 brothers She's very scared

Identify them to me We can kidnap them

Sing my praises to her, dude

He was the one who got me married

But I'm still celibate!

That's off topic

Point the girl out to me

We'll kidnap her tomorrow and get you married at once

You praised him sky high saying he's like 'Arvind Swamy'

He nailed your coffin tight!

Our story takes a terrific twist, eh?

What happened?

I swear I had no idea she is your sister

But we love each other truly

I swear on God even I didn't know

My sister is very gullible

He must have sweet talked and brainwashed her

Sit down

You said serving love is equal to serving God?!

Does it pain to help unite your sister and her lover?

It hurts, dude

Only a brother will know the pain of his sister falling in love

You're a single child You're clueless

If only he had fallen in love I would have broken his teeth

But your sister has reciprocated

You know my sister can't speak

If she gets married to him all his relatives will deride her

My mother won't be able to bear that disgrace

If he truly loves her...

...ask him to come home with his parents and ask for her hand formally

Or else ask him to forget my sister

Come along

My sister is a beauty!

Naga, if Lakshmi is ready ask her to meet our guests

Come soon

Why are you standing aloof?

Erase all superstitions about widows not participating in an auspicious event

He's right Come, ma

It isn't enough if parents save money for their children

They should support in the choice of spouse too

My son hit the nail on the head and convinced me

I endorse this alliance completely

We haven't come to sell our son to your family

I won't demand any dowry from you

We have too many friends and extended family

You won't be able to handle it

So we'll handle the entire wedding expenses

We've been living as a joint family for generations

Your daughter should live under the same roof with us

And I don't know...how to say this?

Words spilled from your mouth till now like a water fall, say it in the same flow

Both my daughters-in-law walked in with 150 sovereigns of gold

If your daughter can also fall in line-

'Keep quiet!'

If the 3rd daughter-in-law also falls in line with the other 2

...they won't have any conflict

The families won't split either

True, my son means the world to me

But family is important much more than that

If you are willing to give jewelry worth 150 sovereigns...

...we can conclude this alliance as final formally

It is every parent's duty to ensure a good life for his or her children

If 150 sovereigns of gold will fetch my daughter a happy life...

...I am most happy to do so

Hey Shakthi!

- How can we, ma? - I'll manage

How could you even accept? Whom were you depending on?

You thought he'll pitch in?

He is a worthless additional baggage

I'm running this household singlehandedly

150 sovereigns of gold is about 4 to 5 million

If I take a loan...

...I'll die paying up the EMIs for a lifetime

I can't afford to do this

Find her some other groom

We can't do that

Why not, ma?

Lakshmi and that groom love each other

They fell in love, eh?

You're trying to pass it off as if you arranged it traditionally

You acted so innocent and had the gall to fall-

Hands off Shut up!

How dare you hit our sister!

You are the main culprit

I knew when you brought him home there must be some obstacle like this

Whether you get her married to the groom of her choice or not...

...because I'm duty bound as her brother I'll contribute 30-40 sovereigns only

I can't spend a naya paisa more than this

Then it's your goddamn wish!

'Your father suddenly suffered a heart attack when you were a kid'

Why are you being so morbid?

You'll be fine, dear

Only I know about my health condition, dear

Still...this house is all we possess

How can our daughter inherit it?

Our daughter is special She has a speech disability

You'll find it very difficult when you have to get her married

That's why I've willed it in her name

What about our sons?

If they expect to live on their father's assets...

...they are not fit to be men

But they shouldn't suffer because of our daughter

Till Lakshmi gets married keep this as a secret

'Will you have a baby with Ashok or not?'

'No, akka'

'But 2 years ago you were dating him'

'I should make out a new episode in between her favorite episodes'

1 track mind 24x7

I'll slice you into 2

Not letting me watch a serial in peace

One day I'll show you how virile I can be!

'Looks like only you'll be with me my whole life through'

'Same feeling'

Hey, Sumathi

When we were dating you didn't let me touch you

18 months since we got married and not even once have we made out

Even I'm feeling sorry for myself

Aren't you feeling sorry for me?

1st get up

'Even if he falls at your feet...'

'...make him sleep only in the hall'

Don't fall all over me 1 minute, I'll be back

'Who is it?'

This useless fellow, huh?

She left me high and dry kneading my hands

Go away

- Why...? - Your loser friend is here!

- What does he want? - His sister's wedding, right?

He must have come to ask you for a favor, go

Talk to him and send him off

Wait, dude

I'll be right back Be patient

Only your friend's sister is getting married

Not your sister's wedding

If you ask me to bring coffee and snacks I'll rip your intestines out

- Go - I won't ask

- Then we can continue where we left - Get lost!

Kaala, my dear friend-

You come out first

Why...?

You are too young to understand even if I explain

Tell me why you're here

My sister's problem got solved

I'm so glad to hear it

Why didn't you just call me?

We must go to my hometown I came to fetch you

- Come - Why suddenly?

You could've told me earlier

If I call, you'll tag along like the Vodafone pup

No dog will come out at night in January

I'll come in the morning, go now

- Better get ready - I have odd jobs to do

You don't have to do any job odd or otherwise, come along

I'm not coming

How often you've said I don't know how to survive

Now you don't become like me! Total value of this property is 10 million

Your commission alone is 0.2 million

In just 10 days!

2 lakhs in 10 days!

Are you coming or not?

Think about it

Even if you give me 2 million, I can't leave my wife

Kala...?

Drink coffee, bro

Why are you standing outside and chatting?

Please come inside, bro

It's okay

I've fixed my sister's wedding I came to take him along

Sure, please take him along

Okay

Why are you staring?

Consider your friend's sister as your own

Go and help my 'brother'

From your wife's mouth to God's ears

Go and get ready

Okay, machan Give me 5 minu-

Wait outside for 10 minutes

You come inside, let me change and pack my bag-

Are you seeing a bride or what?

You can go like this

'I am not even wearing my brief'

Okay, we'll take leave

Come on

- Brother...? - What...?

He isn't too good with money

Please give that 0.2 million commission money to me, bro

'Blessed wife of mine!'

Is this pay off more important than your husband?

Thank God!

'Chithamur'

Hey! The gate is locked

Let's call out to him

I can see the lights are on but nobody is around!

Call his number

Phone is completely wet Can't turn it on now

Give, let me try

Forget it, let's go to the theater and meet him in the morning

Okay, come

1st find a place for us to sleep

So much space here

Let's sleep in this corner

I'll check inside if there's place to sleep

It has been shut for a long time Watch out for snakes and lizards

Let us sleep here to one side

Wait, I'll go check

You're such a stubborn mule!

Listen to me

This theater was closed long ago

There may be some creepy crawlies, sleep here

Scaredy cat!

I don't get scared that easily

- I'm only scared of you - Why...?

I know the outcome if a bachelor sleeps next to a married man!

So you sleep alone there

[excerpts from 'Exorcist']

[indistinct overlap of voices]

Hey, Naga

'I've sent you the location by WhatsApp, check it'

You dumbass!

Very close to Chennai

Hey! I'm feeling very sleepy

Your eyes are like Miss World Aishwarya Rai

Deepika Padukone's lips

All this combined is my precious princess

I know you're lying

But...

...I feel like hearing it over and over again

Repeat it once more

- Again...? - He was here just now

Your eyes are like Miss World Aishwarya Rai

Deepika Padukone's hips

Like Katrina Kaif-

You made me sleep with a ghost

And you're busy flirting with your girlfriend?

What...?

It's very cold I can't sleep alone

What's going on?

Sorry, Miss World I'll call you in 5 minutes

I'll just put my arm over you

Otherwise my leg

My family deity Sunny Leone, only you should save me

If my parents get me married to some other boy...

...what will you do?

"Wherever you are, I wish you from the bottom of my heart true"

"Beloved, lead a happy life without any strife"

I'll sing and bless you

After I'm married...

...if I find out on my wedding night my husband is a software psycho

If he stubs me with his cigarette and I have burns and scars all over...

...if I come back to you

At that time if I'm not married...

...I'll consider you

So you have an idea to dump me and get married to another female

You can ditch me and marry some other chap

Why can't the same hold good for me?

'I happen to love you'

'Instead of seeing me as your wife...'

...you'll think of some other female as your wife?

Typical male attitude!

You asked me a question and you answered it, huh?

I got it, some girl is your ticket for thoroughfare!

And I'm just a pastime for you!

Hey, you got me wrong

'Listen to me, will you?'

No, dear

Pooja, listen, don't get tense

Are you with some other female now?

Hey, you misunderstood me I didn't mean it in that sense

Hang up now

Pick up, damn you!

She answered her own question and then switched off the phone

Sunny Leone won't hit me, only hit on me!

Is it Sunny Leone or Sumathi?

Why would my lips sting if I was kissing her?

[loud bang on door]

[banging continues]

[loud thumping]

Don't open

Let's escape by the other door

When I first saw the theater, I was spooked

[banging continues]

Don't, listen to me

Don't open

Move aside

'Why did she come here?'

- Where is she? - Who...?

You packed her off before I landed?

What are you blabbering?

One girl to love and another to gratify your urges!

Oh gawd!

Have you lost your senses?

You just let your imagination run

I've been with him

With him?

Yuck! How disgusting is that!

Hey, I'll slap you

Himu, wait

Nothing happened the way you imagine

There's no other girl in my life other than you

I swear on you

- Nothing happened, right? - No, not at all

Because this loser hasn't consummated his marriage as yet

...was dreaming of Sunny Leone and making weird sounds!

How could you suspect my love for you?

I'm her fan

I misunderstood you

I came here on a spur of the moment

I'll leave now

How will you go alone at this hour?

Stay here tonight

You can go tomorrow morning

What do you think?

Let her leave in the morning

You'll have a ball even within a small phone

In this big theater I know what you'll be up to!

Move away from her

You must listen to me Come along

You thought I was asleep?

Even I pretended to be asleep like you!

You'll tempt him even if he keeps his hands to himself

I'll kill you if you fool around

Nobody should experience what I didn't

'Soft cotton over there'

'Ball of fire here'

'Kala, you're nailing me in the coffin not knowing my adrenalin is rushing!'

Last night I slept like a log

A mosquito bit me while I was asleep

When I hit it, blood smeared all over my face

Not on the mosquito

When I sat up and looked around...

...there was a huge spirit right next to me

I stared daggers and it ran away terrified

I'm brave even though I'm not from Madurai, I've visited it

Why this holy crap?

- Leave now - I kept strict watch last night

As if you can have a ball now

Leave us alone

Even if I trip on my foot my moustache will be intact!

'Nagesh Theater'

'Naga's girl, my sister'

Please give the phone to him

- Where are you? - At home

Hom-

How did you travel alone at night?

Why should I be scared?

Won't you get scared at all?

1 minute

Go fast and give the phone to him

I'll give it to him

We had a small fight

After that I didn't talk to him

Did you see how possessive my girl is?

No one on the line

Are you day dreaming or what?

Your father was mad about Nagesh

That's why he named you and his theater after the legendary comedian

Very unfortunate he died so young

But your mother was so strong and educated all of you so well

- When did you come? - Last night

Why didn't you come here? Where did you stay?

You weren't here, so we slept in the theater

- What is it, uncle? - You spent the night in the theater?

- Yes - Nothing happened?

Er...no, why do you ask?

The theater is haunted

Haunted?

Everyone here is aware it's haunted

I tried to screen some films but I failed in my attempt

I knew this news would scare your mother

This must be a ploy by someone here to reduce the rate

It isn't what you think, son

Just as it is true you are alive now

...same holds good for the spirit in there

No one will come forward to buy a haunted place

Let's go back

Somehow you escaped last night

But you can't always be this lucky

Feel free to stay here

If we fear what doesn't exist...

...we have to lose whatever we own, uncle

I don't wish to lose anything

My sister's wedding hinges on the sale of this theater

Only if I stay there I can convince people it isn't haunted

I can find a buyer who will offer a decent price

- Listen - It's alright, uncle

Don't be scared I can take care

Let's go

He's right you know

So be it, don't you want the commission?

Not me, take him!

It's just my phone

I thought it was a banshee!

- Hello, ma - Where are you staying?

In the theater

- Why? - Why inconvenience them?

What about the electricity and tax issues?

Soundarapandi uncle has paid to the last paisa, ma

- Come back soon - 'Okay, ma'

[humming]

Who are you?

Don't you recognize me?

No, I don't

Now do you know?

Not one bit

Google Ganga

Ladies' broker, huh?

Hello, I'm a land broker

How will we know if you're so ambiguous?

We are also brokers

Do we wake up everyone and tell them?

Customer is waiting

Soundarapandi sir sent them

Come soon Hurry up

- Can we trust her? - No harm trying

Hello, sir

Electricity and water tax bills are clear

We have a clear Encumbrance certificate

Let's inspect the back yard

8 grounds, sir

- Is there water in the well? - No water problem, natural spring

No damage to the roof The building is strong

Needs just a coat of whitewash

My sister's wedding Why will we sell a good theater?

Good but seats need to be changed

Screen is in good condition

Lucky theater, sir

If this deal is clinched I can get the commission

MGR inaugurated this theater, sir

I am all in favour of closing this deal tomorrow

So we can sign the agreement right away?

I have to ask my guru

- Who is your guru? - Come with me

Swami?

Don't buy, this place isn't auspicious

Leave this place immediately without even turning back

Let's go

Sir, if you like we can offer a goat as redemption

The affluent people depend solely on a soothsayer or seer

[maniacal laughter]

[indistinct chatter]

My head is splitting

That goddamn God-man let me down real hard

Give me 2 pots of toddy

Drink this and cool down

This heat won't go without getting laid

- You won't understand it - Here you go

Drink our national relief-drink!

You'll cool down head to toe

Go away

I think he's mad

Give me 1 more

What's wrong? Stop staring at him

Look at me Hold this

1 minute

Hey! Wait

Who is he?

I've heard of strong tea

These 2 are drinking tea with a straw?

What can I serve you, sir?

What is hot and ready to serve?

- Only tea - That's all?

- What else do you want? - Only water

But you're stopping its flow with your goddamn dam!

Who are they? Why did we scare them away?

You're staying in Nagesh Theater

That's why they are terrified of you

- What can I get for you, sir? - 1 glass tea

The men here are so weird

'Who is the murderer? Youngster found dead in a bathroom'

'Heroine Keerthy Suresh Wedding bells soon to be heard'

My heart exploded when Nazriya got married

If Keerthy gets married I wonder which part of me will burst now?

A law should be passed prohibiting heroines from getting married

Hey! Stop

He's another pain in the wrong place

Don't run

Wait...don't run

Wait, I say

Who are you? Intend telling me or not?

Who the hell are you?

Why are you laughing madly at me?

If you don't tell me I'll strangle you now

Don't interfere, he has been bugging me from this morning

He must have started this rumor of our theater being haunted

He is connected to the events here but he is refusing to open up

He won't respond to blows favorably

Last year our Govt closed 60 shops on the East Coast Road

All that remained was only this shop

Only spot where youngsters could booze

Money overflowed in the cash box in this shop

The owner of this bar planned to buy the surrounding land

This year only you should buy all the property around this area, brother

Only you should be the landlord of this village

It's my wish too, bro

Anna

Please take a seat, sir

Sit down

All you have to do is sign this tomorrow

This place is yours

'When he sent his goons to the theater to take over, you know what transpired?'

This is really superb

I didn't know this is such a big theater, bro?

No owner for this property

You gave that Govt officer just Rs 300000 and procured even a fake document

And usurped this place You beat a fox hollow!

We can screen 'those' films in our theater tomorrow

And our cash box will overflow

Such films are easily available online and in smart phones

Who will bother nowadays to come all the way here?

Poor Govind, the bar owner

He got a fake document The ghost sealed his fate

Don't go anywhere near the theater

It is haunted

I might fall for this ghost story

But my friend here, no way

To prove there are no ghosts...

...do you know how many haunted houses he has stayed in, right?

You must work hard for 3 square meals

To lead a cushy life...

...only stealing another's assets will reap rich rewards

Are you asleep?

No

You think I'll let you sleep, huh?

Hey! Get up

'I won't come, dear'

Get up, dude

How did we land here?

Hey! Don't ditch me

Jogging, huh?

I got a soooper buyer for you

If he likes this place next moment you'll be loaded

Shall we show him the place?

Fine, let's do it in high spirits!

Only you and I know about the ghost inside

It isn't a crime if we zip our lips

Not just between us This whole town knows

That's why no one here will buy it

Good idea to dump it on some chap from abroad

You want Lakshmi to get married or not?

And my commission Please call him here

Please come

Yes, sir

He looks like a foreign blockhead

Good idea to dump it on his head

Go inside, sir

Go in, I'll just make a call and join you

Good morning

I've come to India to buy a property

I'll talk to you later

How many grounds is this?

Around 8, sir

How many owners?

Only us

Single ownership?

It's quite a big screen

Yes, sir 70 MM

Movies can be screened?

We have a run-down projector

Reels are torn Can't screen a film, sir

You're mistaken, sir You can screen a film

Don't we know our own theater? You are wrong, sir

Want to watch?

'You'll run for your life once you buy this place'

'We'll watch that if you like'

'Thinks he's Will Smith!'

'Look at his stride'

Is he really loaded? Or is he taking us for a ride?

Don't leave me and scoot

What's up with them?

Google, run

I'll call you back

Where are you, sir?

Vanished into thin air?

Sir, can you hear me?

What do you mean? People you dream of end up dying?

Let's leave this place

Staying alive is more important than anything else

Let's go

My mother

Wedding date has been fixed

3rd week of May

Invitations are getting printed

When will you conclude the deal?

'Can you hear me?'

Any problem, son?

Nothing of that sort

Will be through in 2-3 days

Okay, dear

'Hey! 1 minute'

'Tell me, ma'

Your sister has wagered a bet with your brother saying you'll clinch this deal

This is a question of her life she says

'Without messing at least this'

I am hoping you'll see the deal through

Don't worry, ma

I'll finalize it

There's a place called Kalitheerthan Kulam

[humming a song from 'En Annan']

Sir?

How do we go to Samiyaar madam?

What is the issue?

A spirit has to be exorcised, sir

Which ghost is this?

The one in Nagesh theater

The ghost in Nagesh theater!

- What's the matter? - I want to live!

Tell us and then run

Brother

Stop

- Isn't someone calling us? - I heard him too

Come here

We came all the way only to see-

I am aware of everything

Keep this near your pillow at bedtime

Everything will fall in place

'Where are you, man?'

I've just finished my duty and come to my friend's guest house

'I guessed right'

'Whom are you having a ball with?'

I just completed my rounds and came here to meet my friend, dear

'Oh yes! You always speak the truth!'

'Send me a selfie as proof'

What's the use of being a policeman and ending up so henpecked?!

She'll ask snaps in all the angles possible!

'Police officer murdered mysteriously Widespread panic'

Who is the murderer?

All our men are dying one by one

Even I am baffled, bro

The entire police department is perturbed

All the murders have been horrific

And no trace of the slightest evidence

I feel this isn't the work of any human being

There's something else to it

Let's meet a Malayali seer

I know the reason you met me did not fructify

The same problem has cropped up again

Swami, this is the lemon you gave us

Place it on the sacred plaque

You met me last night You took this lemon

None of those happened!

You met an evil spirit that came in my form

Swamiji went to the temple in Kasi and returned only this morning

This is the sacred ash given by the Aghoris in Kasi

...after praying to Lord Shiva

At bedtime, sprinkle this in a circle around you

No evil spirit can evade this power and come anywhere near you

Alright, swami

Take it from him

You still don't trust me

If I was indeed the bad spirit

...this powerful deity Kali would have scorched me to cinders

Here he is

1 minute

What a surprise!

- Come along - What's up?

Birthday today

Give this as if it's your gift

Bullshit!

Today is your birthday He doesn't even remember that

Bad enough you waited for so long and made me also wait!

'You screwed up'

Let's go

I don't know how I forgot your birthday

It wasn't intentional

Hear me out

'This is what will happen if girls run behind guys'

I was too tense It skipped my min-

'Listen to me, Himaja'

'Must have skipped his mind, forgive him'

She walked off in a huff and you're cool as a cat

If she is mad at me being the possessive kind...

...like last time she'll come back in the middle of the night

And knock on this door

One more night with my sweetheart

If you disturb me this time, I'll kill you

Like that night?

That wasn't your possessive girlfriend

It was a spirit that came to possess you!

If I hadn't barged in, you would have made out with a spirit

She would have crucified you

Why didn't you tell me right then?

Were you in a mood to listen?

At least now listen to me

The spirit kills whomever I dream of

If we figure out the link between the 3 murders...

...we can find this ghost's motive

In broad daylight the murder of a girl in Nungambakkam railway station is unsolved

You think you're the hero of 'Ramana' investigating a crime

They will nab you and imprison you Even give you shock treatment

You should go about your job, find a buyer, get your sister married

Pay me the commission

1 track mind about the brokerage Friendship is more important than money

'Praise be to Lord Shiva'

Whatever fix you may be in you won't stop flirting!

What now?

It's alright

What's your problem?

'Why were you kind of weird?'

Won't you tell me?

Forget all that

You aren't mad at me, I hope?

I misunderstood you

Slept, dumbass!

'Ghost it seems!'

[dogs barking]

'Youngster's head exploded to bits Mid night horrific tragedy'

'I feel this isn't the work of any human being'

'There's something else to it'

You said no evil spirit can get into the sacred ash circle

But 1 more victim-

Despite the sacred ash 1 more victim, right?

What happened is different

God won't quietly watch all the sinners in this world without taking action

You came to prevent this

But no one can prevent what will now ensue

People will continue to be killed

What is the motive?

Who is the culprit?

Why should I dream all this?

Before the wee hours of dawn you will know all the answers

Go

Don't come in search of me hereafter

You can't find a buyer till the spirit is driven out

I called you over to convey this

I will find a way to drive away the spirit

Don't stay in the theater

You can sleep here

Uncle, I don't mind-

Listen to me

You're wrong in taking it lightly

I'll handle this

- Did you give them food? - Yes

Go to bed Treat this as your home

Good night

'I am worried for these 2 lads, dear'

'Mysterious death of bachelor in a guest house'

'People will continue to be killed'

'Before the wee hours of dawn you will know all the answers'

If I sleep, I dream

If I dream someone is killed

- If I don't sleep? - Super, dude

We'll see how anyone gets killed if you're awake?

We shouldn't fall asleep

We shouldn't sleep

Don't sleep

We slept so restlessly in the theater

That's why I felt drowsy

Only you shouldn't sleep

I can doze off

Let me catch up on some sleep

You don't sleep, machan

Naga, where are you?

In my father's friend's house Why?

You said you wanted to share something important with me

'You asked me to come to the theater and why did you go there?'

I am in front of your theater

Theater?

'When did I ask you to come there?'

Who would have asked her to go to the theater?

Himaja?

Where is she?

HIMAJA!

Naga, wait

What are you doing?

When did you come?

Why are you here?

Last night when we were on the phone

...you slept

I dreamt all this

- You did? - Yes

I saw this in real life in front of me

In reality-

- How did you see my dream? - I don't know

I recorded our call

Then am I the one who killed everyone?

What happened? Tell me

WHY...?

WHO IS IT?

Tell me

Tell me now

WHO ARE YOU?!

WILL YOU TELL ME NOW OR NOT?

Tell me

Why aren't you letting me out, huh?

WHY AM I YOUR TARGET?

Only if I'm alive you'll kill everyone?

What will you do if I'm not alive?

'A place inhabited by orphans is said to be a temple'

'Even this house is a temple'

'None of us had parents'

'Dr Sakunthala 'amma' raised and educated us'

Come and eat

- Grandma! - Come, my dear

You should study well and do well in life, okay?

'She will always be checking Tamilselvi's page in Facebook'

'And follow it to a T'

Before 1950 there were no major diseases in our country

We used organic fertilizers for our agriculture

We ate healthy food

We were hale and hearty

Only then foreigners decided to use us as a tool to mint money

He tempted us and threatened us to use chemical fertilizer

Our produce turned toxic

Consuming all that poison we lead a disease-filled life

And now

We buy medicines from him to cure ourselves!

He is minting money in millions using us

Hereafter we should eat only organic food

And lead a healthy life

Who said this?

- Tamilselvi - Who is she?

She is a famous writer

She exposes all the injustice happening in our country by posting the news online

Wait, I'm coming

Let me get hold of this naughty imp of a female!

[song from 'Vedalam']

Watch this!

[song from 'Chennai Express']

"To the night club if I arrive"

"Who will stop me and why?"

"I'll dance if I'm in the mood to do so"

"I won't be scared though of anyone's dad you know"

Who are you? You look decent

But barging in without any etiquette

Who lacks manners?

I was ringing the bell for 1/2 an hour

You know how tough it is to find a rural type of house in the city?

I found it for you hunting high and low

I helped you settle in

I came to collect the brokerage of 50%

Grandmother and granddaugher are taking me for a ride

How much is your commission?

Way too much

A patient is here to see you, madam

Wait, I'll be back

What about my commission?

It's only a small tumor You'll be fine after a surgery

- I don't want an operation - Why?

I went to another hospital The doctor said it will cost 150000

I can't afford to pay so much

That is why I came to you for a 2nd opinion

Okay...okay Don't cry

I have to fend for my daughter

I won't charge you for the surgery

But you must pay me only my fees as the doctor

'Too good to be true!'

- How much, doctor? - Rs 10

You mean Rs 10,000?

No, just Rs 10

That's all? Here, doctor

You drop it in my donation box

Bless you, doctor

- Akka, I'm Raveena speaking - Yes, dear?

They have brought a whole lot of us from the orphanage to a bungalow in ECR

I'm terrified, akka

'Somehow come and take us back, akka'

- Do you know the address? - I know, sis

Don't be scared I'll be there soon

Take your commission

Hereafter if you barge in unannounced I'll be really mad at you

Let this be my humble contribution to the surgery you'll be performing

What do you mean?

Nowadays you can't even buy a tablet for 10 bucks

But you are willing to do a surgery for 10 rupees

You are like God, ma

- Accept it - No, it's okay

- Don't refuse - No need

Please accept it

I'll take leave

'Why is this 'iPhone' calling me, huh?'

- Tell me - Are you coming?

I'll pay you 2,000

- Only for an hour - This chic chick wants to pay me!

Tell me, yes or no?

Okay...er-

Why did you select me?

If I see certain faces I can find out at once

Start your bike

Just because I immediately responded...

...don't mistake me

Worse than a snail!

This is...

...first time for me

When there are so many waiting...

...why selecting me?

Hello, stop your bike

- Get down - What's wrong?

I will clear your doubt right away

- Sit behind me - You know to ride a bike?

You crawled at snail's pace

Watch me now

Girls these days are in a tearing hurry!

Hold on to me

Get down

How can we? Right here, huh?

Yes, now get down

In case there's a police raid or-

Keep quiet

Naga, oblivious to the fact girls nowadays have forged ahead...

...you've been such a greenhorn!

Come Come here

Didn't you hear me?

Stand still

Hold on to this

She is a fast one Beats me hollow!

What are you waiting for, dude?

I'll prove I'm a bull who cannot be tamed that easily!

Sit down

Oh! 1st should I sit, huh?

- I asked you to sit, right? - I am ready

Move your hands

What do you intend doing up there?

Please wait here I'll be back

This is a love issue, right?

No, serious matter

Why did you drag me to solve your problem?

Please don't talk Give me my bag

You will coolly go inside What will I do standing here?

- Listen to me, give it - Get lost!

In our lingo this is called 'holding the light for the act'

Go and do your job!

I need that bag Give it to me

- Wait, I'll be back - Will I at least get that 2000?

Yes, I will

Assistant commissioner sir I clinched the foreign deal

I have a treat for you Wait upstairs, I'll join you

It's a superb project, sir

You got your way 100%

- What, uncle? - Come

Let go of my hand

Is she okay?

Sir, will this girl suit your needs?

Take her to the room

Let go of me

Grandma, I'll join that big orphanage

I'll study well and become a doctor like you

I want to be known as 'Rs 10 doctor'

But akka and you should visit me every week without fail

Definitely, dear

We'll take care of them even better than the love you showered here

Okay, take good care of her

Godspeed, sweetheart

See you, grandma

See you, akka

I think that girl is about to die

Extract all the blood from her body before she dies

Okay

Who is she? Get hold of her

Start your bike

- Why are you flustered? - Hurry up

Go...faaast!

'Our country which has 25 million families'

'...has 25 million orphans too'

'Even if 10 families adopt 1 child, it's good enough'

'Our country can boast of zero orphans'

'But we don't reach out'

'That's why orphanages have mushroomed in our country'

'Some good samaritans run these orphanages with humanitarian concern'

'But many use this as a tool to earn money the short-cut inhuman way'

'Like how soil and cattle have been misused and pockets lined...'

'...now corporates are minting money using orphans as baits'

'They remove the plasma in the blood from children above 10 years'

'Blood contains red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets and...'

'...plasma'

'It is a fluid containing nutrients essential for the body'

'It is used to make anti-D injection'

When the mother's blood group is RH+ and the baby has RH- blood group

'Anti-D is injected in the 28th and 34th week of pregnancy'

Otherwise the mother's blood will kill the embryo

'If this injection is administered...'

...the baby will be hale and healthy

It is made from plasma content obtained from the human body

'This plasma which is used to save lives...'

'...is used by many affluent people'

'...for cosmetic surgery to beautify themselves and look younger'

'Not only that'

'Plasma is also used in their facial creams and beauty masks'

'Plasma is in great demand'

'That's why it is very expensive'

'To remove this plasma...'

'...many Govt rules and regulations have to be followed'

'But many ruthless people with adequate power and authority'

'...have brought our orphanages under their control'

'They extract blood once a week from the children here'

'They remove the plasma and re-inject the blood into them'

'Without even their knowledge they are being used as a plasma donor'

'Plasma obtained in this manner is powdered and exported illegally'

'This illegal act is worse than smuggling cocaine, marijuana and heroin'

'The blood from these orphans with wrinkles on their stomachs...'

'...help to remove the wrinkles on faces of many rich people'

'This is a curse for humanity'

'The most staggering fact is...'

'...Chennai holds the first place in this business'

'I have brought to your notice one such gang's illegal activities'

'I have uploaded the videos of all those involved in this racket'

Shalu...?

Wait near the front gate

- Hurry up - Okay

The girl who knows all our secrets...

...is none other than

Tamilselvi!

'Posting controversial truths on Facebook...'

'...one who is very popular among people'

'It is her account, sir!'

She's very dangerous

She shouldn't be alive

'As usual let's finish her off by using catfish'

Does she hold any evidence against us?

'No, sir, I've destroyed everything'

'Can we kill her now?'

I should do the honors

- Don't be in a rush - Okay, sir

I'll come with catfish

Where is she?

Is this how you guard her? Go and look for her

Tell me, sir

The girl who barged into our bungalow today-

Let it be Tamilselvi or any celebrity

No need to worry at all

That theatre is under my jurisdiction

I'll ensure the police department doesn't bother you

'But make certain no one gets the dead body'

Brother?

What happened, bro? Please forgive me
