Why must we come so far for the ritual, thatha?

Our native town is Courtallam.

If we offer a pitcher at the temple in our town,

we must offer a prayer to the spirit in the well and invite her,

- and only then will the spirit come. - What should we do in the well?

The person possessed by the deity must go into the well with the palanquin.

He will die there. We'll bring him up and call upon the spirit.

The dead guy will be possessed by the spirit.

We'll take him back to our town and finish the prayer there.

What if he doesn't wake up?

We'll take him to the graveyard along with the palanquin.

Who's going into the well?

It's you. Who else?

How will I? Oh, my!

It's none other than the oracle Ganesan.

♪ Om Kali, all hail Kali! ♪

It burns!

- Hey. - Huh?

Are the guys on the bike ready? Did you ask them?

Pandi is ready. They'll leave when the crackers burst.

Goodness!

- Kaathadi. - Where?

Neela and Vargees are on the bus.

I'll light the cracker right away.

- Kaathadi has fired the cracker. - Hey, drive the car!

Neela, get off now. Get off!

Come. Come!

- What happened? - Go into the forest.

Go on.

Be careful.

Hey!

Hey! It's our guys in there.

- Stop. - Get down!

Get him!

Stop, you son of a bitch!

- Hey! Come on, get him! - Catch that son of a bitch!

- Hey! - What happened?

Thamburan anna, Neela is not on the bus.

Kaathadi signalled with the cracker that she was on the last bus.

- Go, search at the bus stop. - Okay, anna!

Hey, Raghu! Go to the left!

Catch him from around there!

Don't move, you wimp!

Twist his arm and hold him!

- Come here, you! - Drag him! Hey!

Come on, dude!

- Pandi, get the weapon! - I will!

You dare make us run?

Did you both think you could betray us and run away safely?

You think we'll let you go? Huh?

Where is that runaway whore?

Don't speak about her!

You're the traitor!

You berated her and your brother--

What is this, Rajadurai?

Why did you stab him before finding out where she is?

If I didn't stab him, what he said last would become true.

He should be stabbed, right? Huh?

Die!

Hmm!

Hey!

- No, don't. - See what I do to you!

- Clean it up, guys. - Move it around.

Hey!

What is this?

- Hey, Manimadan! - What is it, Ganesan?

There's a girl here.

Lift it up.

Hey, hold it tight and pull.

Girl, who are you? Can you hear me?

Hey, pull up the rope.

Hey, be careful.

That's it, pull it up. Lift it!

Slowly.

Vembu, looks like she is pregnant.

Vembu, I don't know who it is. She was in the well.

Ganesan, check if she is alive.

She wasn't breathing.

Hey! It's the spirit in the form of a pregnant woman.

If she is alive, we will carry her. If not, we'll leave her here.

Play the drums!

Hey, the spirit is here. Let's take her to our town and do the ritual.

Hey! Lift her up!

Anna, the job is done! Shall we burn him?

Burn him!

Out of the way!

The spirit is here. Out of the way!

Thamburan anna, I searched as far as I could. Couldn't find her.

One of our boys is missing, too.

Did so many of you search for her and still let her slip away?

Hey! I need her.

Alive or dead!

Selvam, she should be around here somewhere.

- Send our men in all directions. Go! - Okay, anna.

Look, if she is alive, she will be a danger to us any day.

Come, let's search for her.

If you betray your own friends, this is how you will end up.

Come on.

- I'll smoke beedi after Dasara. - Then?

I have fasted for 45 days. It's just a matter of a few days.

- Give me some lemon juice. - Okay.

Tea! Tea!

Come have some tea, ladies!

Didn't you go for the afternoon prayers?

The deity won't go anywhere.

After work is done, I'll go for the night prayers of Goddess Kali.

Or else, I'll put my disguise on and go in the morning.

Excuse me, this girl's name is Neela.

Have you seen her?

I don't know.

- Take a look. - I don't know either.

I don't know.

People all around Kalakattu consult about their horoscopes with me.

Based on what I see in the photo, this girl is not in this town.

Damn son of a gun!

Hello.

Durai, this is Kaathadi.

Yes, tell me.

We've searched all around Tirunelveli for Neela.

- She's not anywhere. - Then?

Kalakkad and Vanadesam are left.

Go search and let me know.

Durai, tomorrow morning, my daughter is getting engaged.

After the engagement, 2 days later, can I search for her then?

- What? - Now we need some money.

I've already paid you loads of money to search for Neela.

- You want more money? - Durai, just one more time.

You will get your money only if you find Neela. Hang up.

What did he say?

He won't pay me without knowing where Neela is.

Oh, then...

- Come on. Let's go to Vanadesam. - Let's go.

Latha. Latha?

What is it, akka?

You had mentioned that Mallika should be added if we start a new chit-fund.

So, I came to note her name down.

- I don't want it, akka. - Just join it.

What have you saved up in the 5 years since you came to this town?

You have a daughter, too.

Shouldn't you have money on you when you need it in the future?

Okay, let Dasara get over. I'll think about it.

- Akka, just write her name for now. - Okay.

What's your husband's name?

- Oh, no! - What's with the scowl?

- Latha, did I say something wrong? - We need to pour the water. Come.

- Why did she leave? - You ruined it.

Why did you ask for her husband's name?

Ever since she's come to this town, she has not told me anything about her.

Her daughter has got measles now.

We're bathing her with medicinal water for the last time today.

You can come after Dasara. We'll take care of it then.

Okay.

Aachi, the water is cold.

Come to me.

Hey, Selvam.

Let's go get a pot from the market for the grain ritual.

- Come on. - You go on.

I need to water the crops.

How will I bring so many pots by myself?

I told you I'm not coming. Go on. I'm not coming. Just go!

Sure...

You will come to place the pots on the heads of the women, right?

I'll deal with you then!

Hey, as if all the girls over there will throw themselves at me! Buzz off!

Wait for Dasara to get over.

- I'll thrash you with a broom. - All right, okay, fine.

- I know how your mind works now! - Okay, go on.

- Mind your business. - What is it?

He speaks as though he is your relative? Is he so close to you?

We're all part of the same troupe that performs for Dasara.

He dresses up for the deity Panimadan, and I dress up for the deity Mundan.

They're all our people.

I know what you are talking indirectly about.

Shut it. They make it their damn job to speak about caste.

Hmph!

Ever since this Dasara, people from all castes have become united.

If they wear the prayer beads, do they all become one?

They don't. Goddess Mutharamman unites them.

Om Kali. All hail Kali!

Om Kali! Om Kali!

♪ Oh, Goddess who rules the world! ♪

♪ Our Goddess Mutharamman! ♪

♪ Oh, divine one! Our Goddess Who rules the world! ♪

We bathed her with the final round of medicinal water.

Tell me about Dasara.

Ever since the times of King Kulasekaran,

the eight Kali Goddesses lived in the town of Kulasekarapattinam.

Goddess Mutharamman is the ancestral deity of Ayyadurai Kavirayar.

Once upon a time, when measles spread across and attacked everyone,

everyone observed a fast and prayed for the disease to go away.

The people who were cured of it dressed up as Kali and came here.

Over the course of time, that turned into many such disguises.

This practice spread across all classes of society,

and without any caste discrimination, everyone started putting on disguises.

When we dress up and dance, we must see everyone as equals.

Then, Goddess Mutharamman becomes one among us.

That is when we feel the Goddess inside us.

When will we leave for Kulasai from here?

We'll gather the grains from the ritual tonight.

After the pooja for the Goddess,

we'll put on the disguises in the morning.

We'll split the donations in town, and then leave straight for Kulasai.

Okay, then. I'll get going.

Goddess Mutharamman will fulfil your prayer satisfactorily.

You just have to carry the fire pot with prayer just like you vowed to do.

Don't be scared that you're doing it for the first time.

You just have to touch the fire pot.

Goddess Mutharamman will come to you and bear the heat.

- Go ahead. Bless you. - Okay.

Fish!

Anchovies, sardines and snappers!

- Sardines! - Hey, Mookandi!

A letter from the agent has come. It's about a job abroad.

When do we go to pay the money?

Sure, we'll pay it!

We'll pay!

We'll pay. We'll pay...

Huh?

Sardines, snappers...

- Yay! They're here! - Be careful.

Go to akka!

- Got scared already? - Bye!

Get down, kids.

Hey, Ganesan. Aachi is having a seizure. Come quickly!

Aachi, it's nothing!

Don't be scared. Nothing will happen.

- What happened? - Take a look.

Grab her legs. Anna, lift her.

Hey, be careful.

- Anna, be careful. - Amma! Amma!

- It's nothing. - It's nothing, Amma!

It's all right. It's all right.

- Mallika! - What happened?

Amma is having a seizure. Check on her quickly!

- What's happening to you? - Oh, my legs!

- Oh, mother! - Did you apply oil and bathe today?

I did apply oil and bathe in the morning.

I've told you so many times to not wash your hair!

Do you ever listen?

God, why won't you take me away?

You're running your mouth too much these days!

- Feeling better? - I feel a bit better now.

I'm fine now.

If Ganesan wasn't here, paati would have reached the heavens by now.

She had a similar seizure last year.

You were a godsend again today.

- She won't give it to me! - Why are you crying?

Ganesan, I suggest you marry one of my daughters.

I'll give you dowry.

- Just keep quiet! - We don't have to look

- for you to carry Aachi. - Shut up, akka!

The kids are listening.

I know! I'm noticing it too!

She's gone?

BAMA SOUND SERVICE VANADESAM

Bama akka! Bama akka!

Come down quickly!

Wait, I'll give the connection to this and come down.

If you just keep connecting that, you will end up marrying the current.

Latha is enticing Ganesan to marry her daughter.

What are you saying?

It's true!

They're speaking in code so that I don't understand.

I understood it anyway.

- Is it true? - Yes, of course!

I'm coming.

Latha is dead today. She's had it coming!

What are you saying?

I swear on Goddess Mutharamman!

Latha is yearning to trap Ganesan.

So, I came to tell you.

Hmm? These women speak whatever they want within the four walls.

I stepped away from him because he's wearing the prayer beads.

But in that gap, will they dare to try and get him married?

I'll deal with them.

I've told you what I had to. Don't let it slip away.

He won't just go with it.

He's my guy!

Come on, let's go.

Yeah, that's enough.

Stop it. Stop it, I said!

Wait.

- Tie it up at her entrance. - Okay, akka.

Vembu anna, just like last year,

- this year's Dasara too... - Yes, yes.

- ...will have a large crowd. - I'll deal with her!

- That's right. Bama. - Hmm?

Did you tie up the speakers?

I've got a score to settle. I'll be back after finishing it.

- Okay. - The speaker is quite noisy!

- Keep quiet. - This is why you're still not married.

- Sure! Find a girl. I won't reject her. - She's not answering.

Listen up!

- Huh? - Since he does your chores sincerely,

you must not offer your daughter's hand in marriage and whatnot.

You must ask who the boy is seeing before making a decision.

- If you do as you wish... - Oh, my! This girl!

She's so possessive of him!

If you still don't care who he is seeing and try to get him married,

then I will use this mic set as a weapon,

pass a current through your house and shock you.

Be warned.

- Huh? - Look at her go!

Hey! Don't get into it with her.

She might pass electricity through a window.

I might hold it and just die! You better watch it.

I've said what I had to.

If any of you say that you want to marry your daughter off to Ganesan,

that'll be it, my honour!

Play a devotional song and crank up the volume!

Do you know this girl?

I heard that she is in this town.

I don't know.

- I don't know. - You don't?

- Do you know this girl? - I don't, sir.

Have you seen her?

I haven't.

This girl's name is Neela. Do you know her?

She's a traditional doctor as well.

Ask at the traditional medicine shop there.

Okay.

This girl's name is Neela.

Do you know where she is?

This looks like Mallika, but you're saying she's Neela.

- Yes, Neela, Neela! - Neela?

Go west.

There's a house near the Uchimalai temple. Check there.

Ganesan, there hasn't been much business since Pillayar Chaturthi.

Will I refuse you of all people?

I've known Mookandi's mother since my childhood.

Just this once, arrange it from somewhere else.

Don't misunderstand me.

Buddy.

Hmm?

This is the only thing I prayed to the Goddess for this year.

Hey! Don't just keep asking for this persistently.

I told you I'm trying to arrange it.

I've ordered flowers from Marimuthu. Collect it and keep it at the temple.

- I'll be there in some time. - I have to pay it in 10 days.

Hey!

Hmm?

Hmm?

Hey, you could give him the blue one, right?

Shut up! Are you going to marry him?

I'm going to marry him. I know.

- Here. - Keep it there.

Ever since your son has worn the prayer beads,

he won't even look at me!

He had no parents growing up.

He doesn't know how to speak to girls.

He doesn't know? Today Aarambali Aachi had a seizure.

He carried her to Mallika's house

and then chatted away happily with the girls around there.

But it is difficult for him to speak to me, huh?

He's scared to look you in the eyes and speak to you.

That means he likes you.

Right! You always say something to shut me up.

I'll fix your boy myself!

Hmph!

BAMA SOUND SERVICE

- I'll offer it to God. - All right.

Hey, girl! Come here.

Are you telling her everything I am saying?

How will I not?

Tell her I called her now.

- Like I have nothing else to do. - Darn kid!

Hey, what's wrong? You look so good.

Bama akka, he wants to talk to you.

- He's calling you. - Keep this, akka.

I'll be back.

- Did you call me? - Hey!

Why did you put up a speaker at Aarambali Aachi's house

- and cause a scene there? - Huh?

Do you know what they said?

Everyone in town knows I am almost your wife.

- Then why the fuck... - Hey!

...did they say that for me to hear?

What foul words are you saying at the temple?

If they speak, it can be heard only until the end of the street.

If I speak, the whole town can hear it.

That's why I put up the speakers and threatened them.

Look, after Dasara, I'll leave not just my house but this town as well.

What? You want me to keep this kiss until Dasara ends

and that the rest is after? How dare you leave me behind?

Hey! Why are you speaking about a kiss when I'm wearing the beads?

Look, after Dasara, our wedding will happen.

I've saved up ₹75,000 for the wedding.

You just have to tie the knot.

Hey! How do you have so much money?

Yes! Thalavaram, Rosiniaram, Keelur, Melur,

and all the way up to Kalakkad, it's our sound system that plays.

I've saved up the money meticulously.

Saved it up and?

We'll find a big hall, find some Iyer caterers,

host a reception and go for our honeymoon to Ooty.

And then, once I conceive, I want to feed sweets to the whole village.

It's all perfectly accounted for.

So smart!

I'll give you an account. Will you hear me out?

- What is it? - Mookandi wants money to go abroad.

I have ₹25,000.

If you give me that ₹75,000, we'll make it ₹1 lakh and send him abroad.

- Huh? - Once he's back,

charge him interest for that ₹1 lakh and keep it all to yourself.

Why? Doesn't he have anyone else to pay for him?

I asked a couple of people.

I didn't get any money.

He put the prayer beads this year and vowed to go abroad.

If he goes abroad,

once he's back, he'll get all three of his sisters married.

Every time the deity appears in front of him,

he tears up and keeps asking to go abroad.

They all see God through me.

I was wondering how I could help him.

The Goddess has come in your form to show me the money.

You should help.

Once Dasara gets over, I will marry you.

Really?

- Yes, girl! - Huh?

What is this? The saint wearing prayer beads is speaking so casually?

Why? Can't I be casual with the girl I'm going to marry?

Hey, Ganesan. It's time for the pooja. Vembu anna is calling, come on!

- I'll be back. - Hmm.

Look, it's locked there as well.

- Who do you want? - Huh?

What are you looking at?

- Mallika. - Oh.

She has gone to the temple for the Goddess Kali pooja.

- Who are you? - We're her relatives.

Is that so? She'll be back quite late.

Where's the temple?

Go to the main road, and once you get to the Mother Mary church,

ask someone for directions to the Mupadathi Amman temple.

She will be there.

Kaathadi, hmm.

You can meet her there.

Hey!

Hey!

Vakkeel uncle is divinely possessed.

Goddess Kali!

Come on!

Come!

Come on! Come on!

Om Kali! All hail Kali!

Ah!

It's quite crowded.

- I think it's this temple. - Come.

Neela is there.

I'll always be with you! Don't you worry!

I'll come along with you anywhere you go.

She knows people in this town.

Come on, let's go.

Here!

What's bothering you?

Shouldn't you show a girl for my son to marry?

Did you forget what you vowed to me?

If I give him to you, will you take care of him?

- Tell me! - How will I take care of him?

What will I do without your support?

Oh, Goddess!

You offered him at my feet, praying for his long life.

Did you forget?

He is my child. I'll take care of him.

Hello, tell me.

This is Koothaar.

Tell me.

We found Neela in Tirunelveli.

She is in a town called Vanadesam. She has a daughter.

If you send your men, we can nab her.

We couldn't find her all these days, and now we've found her.

So, that Vargees has an heir. I'm enraged!

What should I do?

Kill the child. I'll send my men to kill Neela.

What are you saying?

My daughter is getting engaged tomorrow morning.

We need money at the break of dawn.

At such a crucial time, just for the sake of money,

we came so far to Vanadesam in search of Neela.

I had promised you ₹15,000, right?

You'll get ₹20,000 now.

Kill Neela's daughter first.

How can I do it alone?

Rajadurai?

What did he say?

He wants us to nab the kid.

He's asking us to wait until his men get here.

You leave. I'll come later.

The groom's family will come tomorrow.

Come quickly.

Hmm. All right.

I'll take care of it. You can go.

Hmm.

Hey, Chubby, we're going to play. Do you want to come?

I'll come.

Mallika akka, we're going to play.

- Will you give Mudhra to us? - Tie it up fast!

- Here. - Mudhra, come let's play.

Shall we play hide and seek?

All right.

50 banana trees. 250 coconuts.

- Correct. - The clouds gathering in the sky

make it seem like there's going to be a downpour for 5 to 6 days!

Listen, two sets of drums.

Three donated meals a day.

The transportation cost of the truck.

The cost of stay at Kulasai.

We need ₹30,000 for all of it.

Will you give it?

If it rains, we can't get on the streets and ask for donations.

- It will be very difficult. - So?

Tie up a coconut tomorrow morning.

Hey! Who are you asking to tie up a coconut to stop the rains?

That poor chap Ganesan's father.

He made it his business to stop the rains and died poor.

If you want to stop the rain, find someone else.

My family is in talks to get me married.

- Oh! - Ah!

So, we can say your prayer this year is for your wedding night.

Hey, you! Take your mockery somewhere else!

We can tie up the rain, but it will come back as a storm later.

Oh, my! I've seen a lot already!

- So, you've seen it? - Yes!

Then why do you want to get married?

Amma, what happened? Why are you crying?

I gave you up to the Goddess. Now she won't give you back.

When did you do it? Is it true that you let the Goddess adopt me?

Yes. It is true.

When you were four, you fell sick and the doctor said it was hopeless.

Your father and I came back crying.

The sanctum of the temple was closed.

We placed you at her feet and prayed to not send us away.

We begged at her feet to save you.

We gave you up to the Goddess

and vowed that the son is hers and the affection is ours.

The disease went away then.

After that, we didn't even have to give you any medication.

Nobody other than me and your father know about this.

This happened 40 years ago.

The Goddess is keeping an account even now.

Just listen to her, boy!

- Akka. - Tell me.

- It seems like it is going to rain. - Yes.

I'll take my daughter and leave.

All right. Go safely.

The sweet pongal is nice, right?

- Yes! - Mine has cashews!

- Where is Mudhra? - She's with Chubby.

- I got it twice. - Really?

I didn't get it.

- Did you see Mudhra, akka? - No, I didn't.

- Akka, did you see my daughter? - No, dear.

We didn't see her.

- She was stringing garlands, right? - What is she saying?

I ripped through it!

- Mallika's kid is missing. - Mudhra!

- Bama! Bama! - That's it!

- Huh? - My kid is missing.

What are you saying? She was with the other girls.

She must be around.

Hey! The kid wouldn't have gone anywhere.

- So-- - Ganesan, Bama hasn't seen her either.

- My kid is missing. - She must be in the crowd somewhere.

We'll announce it on the mic. Who saw the kid last?

Hey! You were playing with Mudhra, right?

An old man took Mudhra saying he'd give her to Mallika akka.

He was wearing a sack on his head.

Dude, that same guy with no teeth had some pudding from me a while ago.

I remember it quite well.

- What are you saying? - It's true!

Ganesan, I'll search for her at the bus stand.

Go on.

- Take this. Don't cry. - Don't worry.

- Get the bike. - Let's check the market.

- Don't cry, Mallika. - Oh, no! Oh, no!

I lost my kid!

Don't cry, please.

An important announcement for the people of the town.

A kid has gone missing at the Dasara temple.

We've got information that an old man kidnapped her.

If you see any kid or old man around town, get a hold of them.

- Inform the police station... - Mudhra? Where are you?

- Mudhra! - Hey, go this way!

Listen up again. An old man has kidnapped a little girl.

- Mudhra! - Little one?

- ...if anyone sees something... - We can't find her anywhere!

...take a closer look and pass the information.

Dude, dude, stop!

There's blood in the sack over there.

Dude, there's a sack here just like the kid said.

It won't be anything.

Dude, wait.

Wait. Let's open it and check.

Hey, Mookandi!

What happened?

There are blood stains on a sack here.

He says there are blood stains on a sack. What could it be?

- Hey, wait. Hold up. - Mudhra! Mudhra!

- It's nothing. Just wait. - What is it?

- What's there? - They're checking.

- It's nothing. - Anna, what's there?

What's in there?

Tell me, anna.

What's there?

What's in there?

- Something is on his hand. - Ganesan, tell me what it is

Dude, it's blood.

What's over there? I need to see.

- Ganesan, what is it? - Let me go, anna!

Anna, what is it?

Check what's inside.

Hey, a truck crashed.

Come on!

♪ She'll come in a rage To slay the demons! ♪

The man who took the kid got hit by a truck and died.

We will enquire about him and let you know.

- Be careful now. Here. - I need to go to my mother.

Please be cautious and look after your child.

Thank you.

Why thank me?

They saved them. You must thank them.

Come here. Don't cry.

Thanks a lot.

Come on.

You should be happy that you got your child back.

Don't use such big words.

- Come, let's go. - I want to go to my mother.

- All right - Come on, let's go.

- I'm glad we found her. - Let's go.

Thanks a lot, sir. See you, sir.

Why are you crying? Come here.

- Fine, fine. - I want my mom.

Don't cry.

If I knew who kidnapped her, I'd have snapped his neck.

Don't cry, dear.

Ganesan.

It's my brothers.

What are you saying, Mallika?

My native town is Kanyakumari district.

I have two older brothers.

After our parents passed away, we didn't know where to go.

A traditional medicine clinic provided us with free meals.

Okay, doctor. I'll see you.

Hey, look, the doctor has so much money.

Wait.

Get up! Get it!

Let's go in!

- They're stealing the money! - Run! Run!

Catch them! Catch them!

Both my elder brothers grew up into thugs.

I grew up at the traditional clinic under the guidance of the master.

Hey! I am the next MLA.

I'll kill you! Be warned.

Thamburan anna, let him take it.

Keep quiet.

I will take care of him.

Child, we are going to Tirupati.

Can you give us a donation?

We are going to Tiruparapu for a dip in the holy waters.

- I'll give it once I'm back tomorrow. - Lady!

You don't visit our Goddess Kanyakumari's temple that is nearby,

but you want to go to Tirupati?

You just use God's name as an excuse. Here, take this.

- Go on. - Bless you.

Tell me, Kaathadi.

The political party guy is going to Tiruparapu for a holy dip.

- Tiruparapu? - Yeah.

We'll handle it.

They became thugs for a politician.

Drive! Drive!

- Barani? - Hmm.

- Who is he? - This is AJ.

- Oh. - He is the one who killed Masi.

His brother has gone to prison for the murder he committed.

I've informed our people inside to keep him comfortable.

Hmm.

You said that he'd be the next MLA.

But he is looking at pictures of women.

Women are his weakness.

He is a pervert but a coward.

Hey, she looks amazing! Ask her to come.

Okay, I'll be back.

VELLI MASTER TRADITIONAL CLINIC VETTURNI HERMITAGE, NAGERCOIL

- Where's Neela? - Welcome, anna.

Neela, your brother is here.

- Is he here? - Come.

Anna.

Where you have been all these years, anna?

I got married, but my wife passed away.

I've to take care of my kid.

You don't have to stay here anymore.

- Come home. Invite your aunt. - Aunty, come home.

Hmm.

Since my brother had called me after all those years,

I went there happily.

- This is my younger sister, Neela. - Hmm.

- Is this my younger sister-in-law? - Yes.

Where is Durai anna?

Durai has gone out of town for work.

He will come back after a month.

Hmm.

When I went to his house, I was happy I had a family.

For the business that we're in, it's not safe for your kid to be here.

So, I'm thinking of sending Arun abroad for his education.

I'll be happy if my son goes abroad to study.

Let him go.

Have some tea.

She's so hot!

She is my sister, Neela.

Aunty, I'll come with you.

Is it tasty?

Hmm!

Neela, turn off the gas.

- Neela, get ready. We have to go. - Where to?

Barani's hand is stiff. He needs to be treated.

Take him to the hospital.

- Why are you taking her to his house? - Hey!

He gave us this house to live in rent-free.

Don't we have to show up for him when he needs us?

Not just that, but he prefers traditional medicine.

Come on, let's go.

- Thamburan anna. - Hmm?

Is he home?

Go inside.

Don't be scared.

Come here, dear!

Hmm.

I'm in pain.

Where is the sprain?

Right here.

Does it hurt here?

Hmm.

It's painful there.

Ah!

- Go slow. - Does it still hurt?

Yes.

Huh?

- What are you doing? - It hurts.

- Let go. - Why?

You can continue.

- Anna, come here! - Huh?

- Anna, come inside. - Hey, darling!

- It's nothing. - Let go!

You're quite smart!

- Anna, look at what he is doing. - Hey! Why are you shouting?

This is why your brother brought you here.

Don't say a fucking word and lie down.

Lie down.

- Here you go. - Thanks a lot.

What are you doing?

Damn it!

Forgive me.

I thought it was him and stabbed you.

No worries.

All of them left.

They told me to drop you home. Come.

- What happened? - Damn moron!

Why are you hitting him?

- What did you do? - What is it?

- I will kill you. - Like hell you will!

- What did you do to her? - Hey!

I bought another house using her.

Will you pimp me out for a house?

- Yes! - Hear that, madhini?

- I am leaving. - Wait, girl.

- Where will you go? - You're the one who's wrong.

- What have you done? Are you out-- - Hey!

- Shut up, you bitch! - Don't hit her!

- I will handle her. - Madhini!

I'll kill you!

Hey!

You don't have to say I'm not your brother. I'll say it!

You're my sister!

I bought a house by pimping you out.

I am going to live well because of you.

You have to stay here! I'll kill you otherwise.

Neela.

The car has arrived. Get going.

I won't go.

Get up and go!

Don't annoy me!

You have to do what I say! Go!

Shall we go?

Let's go.

- Do you like this song? - Hmm.

Me too.

Neela, we have reached your place.

Hmm.

I couldn't escape from these people.

But the trips with Vargees gave me peace.

Hey, the car is dragging!

I'm finding out today that I have a heart. Hey, watch out!

Vargees!

Let's go.

Why not?

Hey!

AJ pimped her out to Barani

and found a place not just in Barani's heart but his dick, too!

You son of a bitch! How dare you hit me?

Watch what I do to you!

How dare you touch her?

Shall I tell Barani?

Bloody moron!

Please get in the car.

Oh.

So, it's gone that far?

I like you.

No.

It won't work out.

Why?

Whom can I trust?

I'm not worthy of it.

I really like you.

But...

I can't do anything against my boss' will.

When the time is right, we'll leave this place.

I will take good care of you forever.

I promise.

I trusted Vargees who knew everything about me.

Did the police beat you up?

No. Why?

You seem down.

Also, the SP has asked us to take out an important person.

If he is killed, Barani will become the MLA candidate.

We'll get good money out of it.

Who will get the money?

You will get the money.

I'll have to go behind bars again.

Why?

I will talk to AJ.

Why should you go back inside again?

We will find someone else to take the blame.

No, Thamburan.

I have to obey my elder brother's words.

He won't say it.

You are doing so much for your brother.

Will he give up on you?

Would anyone like to stare at empty walls in jail every day?

Can you do it?

Drive. Everything is for money.

My dear brethren!

Everyone says I keep switching parties because I'm greedy for power.

If I am really interested in power,

all I need to do is make a phone call to Madras.

Even after I was offered ₹20 crore and 20 seats,

I didn't sell my people out!

- AJ. - Hmm.

If you take out Babu Raja,

you will receive something that you never expected.

What?

You will pay an extra ₹10,000.

What else?

Barani has agreed to marry Neela.

Is it because of the murders I committed?

For his security.

If you can be his brother-in-law instead of his hitman,

Barani feels it would be better for him.

- So, he has agreed to marry her. - All right.

AJ, your good times have begun.

Consider the job done.

Hmm!

- Master. - Sir, I've checked him. No worries.

You can talk to him.

Hey!

Catch him, catch him!

Go, go! Don't stop.

They are following us.

Get down. Let's escape!

Hey, come on!

Run!

Get them!

Hey!

Hey, who are you guys?

Get him!

Let's go!

Hey!

Motherfucker!

Sir, sir! Hey!

Four of our men went that way. We'll go this way.

Let's go check!

Someone is running there. Come on!

Sir, he is hiding behind the wall.

Hurry up and catch him! There.

Let go of me! You don't know who you're messing with!

- We know quite well. Come now. - Let go!

- Get in the vehicle! - Let go!

Aye, Vargees, stop!

Listen to me! Stop!

Hey!

- Thamburan, everything is ruined. - What happened?

I got AJ arrested by the police, and Vargees witnessed it

and then he escaped.

What shall we do now?

He ruined it.

First, let's go from here. Drive.

Hello, who is speaking?

Suba, did Vargees come there?

He took Neela to Barani's house a while ago.

What? She went with Vargees? Really?

Yes, why are you asking?

Is there a problem?

I will call you later. Hang up.

Where did they go?

Both of you run away somewhere.

Don't even come across me.

Or else, they will track you down through me and kill you.

Vargees, God bless you.

Please take care of her.

You are not just taking this girl with you.

You are carrying the burden of a feud.

Never ever get caught by them anywhere around here. Leave.

Anni, I will never forget this favour.

It's all right, Neela. Go on now.

I'll forever be indebted to you.

Get going.

- Take her and leave. - Come, Neela.

I order that the accused in Masi's murder be remanded for 15 days.

The SP has spoken to the Inspector

and asked that you be put under Masi's case instead of Babu Raja's case.

That's not all, since Babu Raja's case is in the spotlight now,

it is much safer for you to be in prison for Masi's case.

- Do whatever you want. - Hmm.

- I need to get out soon. - We'll make it happen.

Hey, didn't Vargees come?

He is the one who got you caught by the police.

We found out only in the morning.

Also, he fled with Neela.

Barani has agreed to marry Neela.

Motherfucker! Were you sitting on your ass while it happened?

We are searching for them.

Koothaar is on one side, Kaathadi is in search of the other.

There is a rumour that they may have fled to Mumbai. They--

Shut up, you motherfucker! Fucker wants to talk now!

Take out that treacherous son of a bitch!

For how they've betrayed me, those bastards need to be decimated!

When I get out, those two shouldn't be alive.

Master, don't you worry.

We will take care of everything.

What do we do now, Thamburan?

If Vargees and Neela tell the truth to AJ, our lives will be at risk.

We should take them out before that.

We shall. Hmm.

He and I started our life together.

Our life was happy without anyone's knowledge.

- Hmm? - Hmm!

♪ Our kin has arrived now ♪

Hello!

- Anni, this is Neela. - Hey, tell me!

Are you well? You're alone, right?

Yes, Neela. How are you?

Where are you now?

I am good, anni.

- I am going to have a baby, anni. - Oh, wow!

I need your blessings.

- I'm glad to hear it! - Hmm!

I'm just sad I'm not there.

Your blessings are enough!

If I have a girl, I will name her after you.

You are my only hope, anni.

Don't you worry.

- I am always with you. - I know.

Okay, where are you now?

I'm near Rajapalayam. It's a place on the way to the Neerkathan temple.

As soon as I get to the hospital, I'll let you--

Seems like someone is coming. Call back later.

All right, bye.

She is near the Neerkathan temple near Rajapalayam.

He got your brother caught by the police,

and then Vargees tricked me and took Neela away.

Bastard. We must finish him.

I will take care of the rest.

That bastard is going to die.

Where were you?

You haven't been home since morning.

My grandmother has a piece of land in Vanadesam.

I was looking for someone to lease it.

Once the baby is born, we can use that money to go to Mumbai.

Why lease it?

Can't we do the farming ourselves?

If your brothers get to know that we are here,

they will not let us live.

I spoke to my sister-in-law on the phone now.

What did you say?

I told her that we are going to have a child.

And then?

She asked where we are.

I told her we were in Rajapalayam.

Come, we need to leave this place right now.

- Come! - Why? What happened?

I heard the news that Rajadurai had told everyone that I got AJ caught.

Now, they will come looking for us.

You could've told me this earlier!

I wouldn't have told my sister-in-law.

If I had told you earlier, you wouldn't have believed it.

Rajadurai is the one who got your eldest brother caught by the police.

It is not me.

Let's get out of here at once. Come on!

- Come on! Quick. - Okay.

Go.

When we're born as women in this world,

it's in our fate to shed tears and live on no matter where.

What happened to you is quite tragic.

No one should ever face such a tragedy.

We are here for you.

Don't worry, child.

Once Dasara gets over,

we'll talk to your brothers and sort these things out.

Don't be scared, Mallika. Don't be scared.

Om Kali, all hail Kali!

Om Kali! All hail Kali!

All hail Kali! Om Kali!

All hail Kali! Om Kali!

Om Kali!

- Anna! - Welcome.

What had they beaten up inside the sack?

Anna, I was worried that they had done something to the little kid.

In the end, it was a dog in a sack that was run over by a car.

I opened it and it stank!

My gut couldn't take it!

- Oh, my! - Goodness!

- Are you done stitching? - It's done.

Swetha, my dear.

Go and serve them another round of tea.

I have already served tea to them four times, Amma!

Appa isn't home yet.

- I am scared. I won't go. - Hey--

She doesn't have to go. You go serve it.

- It's all right. - Here.

No.

- Here. - We've been idle here since morning

and have had tea four times.

We thought your husband would get here with the money

and that we could do the engagement. We've wasted our time waiting!

It's not like that.

Please don't say that.

He said that he'll be here in the morning but isn't here yet.

That is reasonable!

It's fine if he isn't here.

Put the money on the plate, and we'll get the engagement done after.

It's not about that.

- We'll get the money only if he comes. - Hmph!

Then, let's do the engagement once the money is here.

- Come on, let's go. - Madam.

Why are you saying that?

Please don't go.

He will be here anytime now.

- Wait. Ma'am. - Move.

I am pleading with you so much, aren't I?

Hey!

Stay with Swetha. I'll be back.

Okay.

I don't know where that man is.

Damned man!

Why is he standing here instead of tying up the coconut to stop the rain?

Vembu is here!

Hmm? Hmm!

- Vakkeel. - What is it?

The sky is closing up with dark clouds.

What should I do about it?

It will be nice to play the music and dance along as an oracle.

After Dasara, you guys will hand me your contributions and leave.

Will it be enough for us?

We can meet our expenses only if we stop the rain and collect donations.

- What's the problem? - Ganesan.

Listen to what he's suggesting.

Hey, the sky is cloudy all over.

We can get things rolling only if we tie the coconut.

Vembu anna, why are you getting angry?

You need someone to do the coconut-tying ritual, don't you?

Yes!

Vakkeel is a son vowed to Goddess Muppadathi Amman.

- What? - If he ties the coconut,

the Goddess will make sure he isn't harmed.

- He threw me under the bus. - Mookandi, go and get the coconut.

Then what about water for the fields?

- My life is at stake here. - It will come.

Just like how MLA Appavu used a motor to supply water to every street,

the water from the river Thamirabarani will reach your fields.

Om Kali. All hail Kali!

Goddess Mutharamman! Save me no matter what.

I'm not responsible for this.

Om Kali. All hail Kali.

Vakkeel, climb carefully.

- Here. - Huh.

Tie it up.

Goddess! I am not doing this willingly.

Please don't punish me.

Om Kali. All hail Kali.

Neela is in a place called Vanadesam near Tirunelveli

We found her and killed her child.

What about Neela?

We've kept a watch on her.

We will let you know once we finish her.

I feel at peace after knowing that motherfucker Vargees's kid is dead.

Me too.

For how they betrayed me, don't spare Neela.

- I will not. - Hmm.

The words that my father spoke have come true after all these years.

Come out soon.

The election is coming up.

Hmm.

Om Kali! All hail Kali!

Om Kali! All hail Kali!

- Om Kali! All hail Kali! - Om Kali! All hail Kali!

Om Kali! All hail Kali!

Om Kali! All hail Kali!

Om Kali! All hail Kali!

All hail Kali!

Goddess!

I want to move away from here. Grant me permission.

My child and I don't have anyone.

Stay by my child.

Uh-uh.

Don't be scared.

I will take care of your child.

This is my child from here on.

- Look at him, Mudhra. - Don't worry.

- Hello. - Sir, this is Vathiyar.

Yes, tell me.

Before I could reach Vanadesam,

Koothaar abducted the child, got hit by a truck and died.

The child has escaped.

I called the SI and told him.

They've taken the body for the autopsy.

Neela's child escaped?

Yes!

Locals saved the child and handed her over at the police station.

I'll come there.

Okay, you can come back.

- Son, is Koothaar here? - Ask inside. Go.

Koothaar is dead.

Neela's child escaped.

- Raghu. - Tell me.

- You have to do everything as told. - Okay.

I'll finish it and come back.

Ah, Durai is sending you to Ooty for your honeymoon.

Huh?

What are you saying?

What's the need for that?

Come on.

When AJ came to your wedding, he spoke so highly of you.

He said you've been with us for four years

and that you are good at your job.

All right.

Go carefully.

- Hmm. - Hmm.

Sir, there's an issue.

What did you do? Did you send our goods?

That's what I was going to talk to you about.

The police have captured our vehicle near Pannimadai.

There's trouble at the checkposts when we take the spirit.

- Can you have a word with the SP? - Hey!

We'll solve it right on the spot.

Son, did my husband come here?

My daughter's engagement did not happen.

Koothaar said that he'll be back in the morning, but he's still not here.

Where did he go? Tell me.

Koothaar is dead.

What?

How did he die?

He was hit by a truck.

All right, give me the money.

I have to get my daughter married.

Your husband did not kidnap or kill the child.

Then, how can I give you money?

Let's think about the money next year.

Why did you send him to kill the child?

Our job ends with finding those people for you.

It is your job to kill.

I said that I would give money to kill the child.

He didn't, did he? So, there's no money.

Get out.

Aye, don't make me curse you!

I am already mourning here.

You better give me the money.

As if you are some righteous woman!

- Watch what-- - Get lost, you bitch!

A woman's curse won't spare you.

I will hide Koothaar's death and get her married right away.

- Ask him to give the money. - Hey, throw her out!

Get out! Buzz off!

I'm telling you. Get out!

You didn't do what I asked you to do and are now annoying me.

What happened, Kaathadi?

I haven't seen Koothaar around.

What is it, Kaathadi?

Didn't Koothaar come?

Why is she not replying? What could it be?

Why are you crying?

He won't...

He won't come back.

He will never come back!

Please ask for anything you want.

Hey, Michael Jackson, don't take it from Vakkeel. He bites!

Can we eat at their house?

Once we start fasting wearing prayer beads for Mutharamman,

we all are equal.

Only when you see them as equals, you get the blessings of the Goddess.

Hey, just keep quiet and eat.

- Let it go, Vembu anna! - Fine.

Hey, Senthil, ask for what you want and have it.

- Raghu! - Huh.

It's the Vanadesam Dasara troupe.

They have been staying at the same house for the past ten years.

I've thoroughly asked around.

Neela will come there.

VANADESAM

Why are you wearing prayer beads?

My prayer is going to be fulfilled, that's why.

Hmm. Quite clever.

Here, give this to Mookandi.

Buddy, here is the money you asked for.

Buddy, I will take it after Dasara.

One can postpone bad things.

But a good deed has to be done immediately.

Take it, buddy.

- Thanks a lot. - Hmm.

Get in carefully.

- Mookandi, take care of everyone. - I will.

Go safely.

Take care of the child.

Mudhra, you should be with your mother.

- Okay. - Don't get lost in the crowd.

I will come in the next van.

I want to go to my mom.

Do you want to come?

Here.

Bama, when Mallika carries the fire pot, you take the kid.

- I know. - Don't give her to anyone.

- Okay. - Okay?

Hmm, I will take care of that.

Reach there on time.

- Okay, we will. Go safely. - See you, buddy.

- Lift it up. - Close it.

- Om Kali! All hail Kali! - Lift it.

Don't hurt your hand.

Om Kali. All hail Kali!

Go safely.

Om Kali! All hail Kali!

Bye-bye.

Om Kali! All hail Kali!

- All hail Kali! - Om Kali!

40 KM KULASEKARAPATTINAM

- Hey, Thamburan. - Hmm.

Once my brother is out of prison, don't spill everything to him.

Why would I blab to him?

Vargees knew the truth, and he's dead.

All who are left is Neela and her child, right?

I get enraged when I think of them.

I don't know what to do.

Hey, we must review again if our plan is intact.

We've covered all the bases and have completely finished everything.

AJ cannot meet anyone in jail without our approval.

The jailer is in our pocket.

Go inside with the child.

Be safe in the crowds.

Goddess!

Ta-da!

It's a nuptial thread.

Ganesan and I are getting married tomorrow.

Why are you in such a hurry?

With no wedding hall or invitations?

Hmm? It's Ganesan and I who are getting married.

When I get pregnant, we'll share the news with everyone with sweets! Hmm?

You might as well have the child and tell us.

Keep waiting with your dropped jaw until then.

Goddess Mutharamman!

Om Kali! All hail Kali!

Om Kali! All hail Kali!

Om Kali! All hail Kali!

Om Kali! All hail Kali!

Om Kali! All hail Kali!

Om Kali! All hail Kali!

Take it!

Take it!

Om Kali! Om Kali!

Om Kali!

Om Kali!

On our way to the temple, we've got a flat tyre.

Can't we watch the ritual of the demon being slayed?

We tied up the coconut to stop the rain.

So, the Goddess has left us stranded here.

What else do we have to go through?

Look at what he is saying.

That is why I refused to tie up the coconut.

Get in! Get in!

Get in!

MUTHARAMMAN TEMPLE

Goddess Kali is behind me.

Get her down carefully.

Hey, Vakkeel, hold this kid.

Come, come. Come to me.

I want toys.

I'll take you there.

Oh, my! Lie down.

You're sweating so much.

I want toys.

Come, let's go to the shop and get some toys.

All right.

Let's go to the shop.

Slash her!

Akka!

Bama!

Run away, boy!

- Who are you? - Bama!

Raghu, go inside the hole.

They are pulling my leg!

Pull me out!

Come on!

Come on!

Pull him!

Pull him out!

Ba...

Pull me out!

Pull him!

Meenatchi athai! Meenatchi athai!

- Esaki, what is it? - At the fire pot ritual,

Bama akka was hacked.

There are five guys attacking Mookandi anna with machetes.

- Oh, no! - What?

Move! Move!

Out of the way! Move!

Hey, take them to the hospital.

- Okay, sir. - Lift!

Control the crowd.

Nobody should come in. Go back, move!

An important announcement from the police.

We request the devotees in disguise

to leave your tridents, swords and other metal weapons.

Sir, why are they not letting us bring our weapons?

There was a murder at the fire pot ritual place.

What!

An important announcement. The Vanadesam Dasara troupe

are requested to come to the government hospital immediately.

Give me the kid.

Sir, take them to the Thoothukudi Government Hospital.

Quick.

- What happened? - Ganesan!

Go inside and look at Bama!

- Ganesan, look here! - Who did this?

Who did this?

Akka!

Mookandi!

Get up, Bama.

Oh, no!

Those wretched men did something so horrible.

Oh, no!

Oh, no!

Is this why you were in such a hurry?

You left me alone and stranded.

Where will I look for you now?

You gave me your heart and happiness.

When I asked you for the money, you gave that, too.

You came with the nuptial thread to marry me.

But now you've left me suffering.

I wished to do so much for you.

You've made me a good-for-nothing guy who could do nothing for you.

You've made me guilty for life.

Bama!

Bama!

Bama!

- Bama! - Mookandi.

Why did you leave me?

They wrecked them! They...

Oh, no!

Oh, no!

Bama!

Oh, no! Oh, no!

NAGERCOIL MUNICIPAL CORPORATION THANK YOU

Anna! Anna!

Listen, the boys are calling you.

Hmm.

Come in, guys.

Where is Raghu?

Where is Raghu?

Two guys interfered and ruined the plot.

Raghu is dead. The police took his body.

- What are you saying? - You don't have to worry.

I've chopped his head off. They've only got the body.

Your name won't come out.

Lakhs of people. A crowd that is immovable.

It would be difficult to stab someone in that crowd.

You escaped from there, right?

Then why are you speaking nonsense now?

- What happened to Neela? - Yeah, we killed her.

Pandi stabbed her stomach.

I used the machete's handle to smack her head down.

She fell down right there!

Anna, there were four. Raghu, Neela, a guy in disguise and a girl.

They're all gone.

- Neela's kid? - We tried so hard to get to the kid.

Tons of people in disguise. People were pulling on my hand.

After I stabbed them and pushed them away, a guy with a trident came.

That's when one guy threw sand in Raghu's eyes.

I knew then that he was done for.

- By the time we could-- - Hey! Is this a movie's story?

What happened to the kid?

Anna, a guy in the crowd escaped with the kid.

- We couldn't kill the kid. - Damn it!

Aye, don't tell Meena that Raghu is dead.

- Okay, anna. - They just got married.

- It will be an issue if it gets out. - Hmm.

Bring her to my place.

We'll talk it out with her alone.

- Huh? - All right.

Neela has been killed.

One of our guys died in the crowd.

Who?

Raghu.

That's fine.

If that whore had listened to me, all that we wanted would've happened.

Thamburan anna, Vargees is a son of a bitch with no sense of loyalty.

This is the consequence of their haste.

His entire lineage is ruined now.

She isn't dead. That little kid is still alive.

Why did you spare her?

Koothaar died in an attempt to take that kid out.

Raghu died in an attempt to kill the kid and her mother.

The omens aren't sitting right with me.

Nothing seems right.

To hell with omens! I think the kid is waiting to be killed by her uncle.

Come on! It's a little kid.

- What feud is left over now? - What do you mean?

Thamburan, that is Vargees's seed.

That's fine.

- What about Raghu's family? - Hmm.

Tell them to give a settlement.

Tell Durai and ask him to arrange for someone else to surrender in court.

All right.

- Oh, no! He's gone! - Oh, God!

Mookandi, you were so happy about getting on the plane in ten days.

You've orphaned us now!

You went with the nuptial thread to get married, but you're gone now!

You provided for all of us single-handedly!

Akka, the Dasara troupe will provide what's needed for your family.

Don't you worry.

I've invested in two chit-funds.

I'll meet my expenses by rolling beedis!

But they've unfairly killed my son! Answer to that!

I won't spare the ones who murdered him!

- Here. - Do you have money for yourself?

Keep it. It's all right.

She came trusting you, and you have forsaken her!

There's a lot of work at the station.

And you're saying they went to the festival shops. Ask them to come here.

Okay, sir.

Greetings, sir.

Nagercoil AJ's men have done this.

They're going to surrender in court tomorrow.

What's the motive, sir?

I've given you the information I got. Take it further with an advocate.

- All right, sir. - Thanks, sir.

Ganesan, here.

- What is this, akka? - The money borrowed for Mookandi.

Akka, take it and go.

Don't add to my sorrow.

Take it, anna.

Akka, you have to get three daughters married.

Whatever Mookandi would have done, I'll do it in his place.

- Go, akka. - It's all right.

This money was borrowed for him to go abroad.

When he's no more... Just keep it.

If you think of me as part of your family, take it and go.

If you don't want ties with me at all, then leave it here.

Ganesan, it was Neela's brothers who did it. We got the news.

They're going to surrender in court tomorrow.

We're taking them out at the court tomorrow.

- We're going. - Ah? What?

Ganesan, wait. Let's talk.

We know what his pain is.

I don't think it's right to take revenge now.

What do you suggest we do?

The one who eats salt must drink water.

What does that mean?

We have to deal with the guys who murdered them.

It will take over ten years for the judgement to be passed in court.

We must not wait on the judgement.

We have to arbitrate with the guys who instigated it.

This will work only if we go in person.

Can this even work out?

Huh? So, if you show up with a machete, will they offer their heads for you?

Listen up, their profession is to kill people.

They'll pounce and hack you with no hesitation!

Do you think it's a game?

What do you suggest we do?

We'll meet the political party guy, arbitrate this amicably,

get money from them and give it to her family.

Let's leave for Nagercoil in the evening.

Ask Chandran to get the vehicle.

Hmm.

All right. Don't cry, dear.

Don't cry.

Don't cry, dear. Don't cry.

It's nothing. Don't cry.

How are Mookandi and Bama?

Bama and Mookandi are no more.

Chandran, are you there?

Come in, Nagini.

I didn't expect our troupe's people to get caught up like this.

It's just fate.

They got caught alone.

If they had come when we were together, we'd have ripped them apart.

Yes.

Why didn't you come for Dasara?

It hasn't been a year since my grandma passed.

So, I didn't come.

- Oh. - What have they decided now?

I came to tell you that.

They say we have to go to Nagercoil to speak to them.

Can you bring your vehicle to Ganesan's house at 8.00 p.m.?

I will.

Anna, didn't he come?

Rajadurai anna has taken Raghu to buy land for Kaathadi.

They had said that they'll send you to Ooty when you got married, right?

He asked me to fetch you, so I'm here.

Guys, Raghu had mentioned that he'd take her to the Mandaikadu Temple.

Yes, he will take her in a car.

How can I send Meena alone?

We're there, right? Trust us and send her.

How can I send her without Raghu? I will come along.

You can come. It's all right. How will you return alone at night?

It's all right. I'll go alone.

- They served food at our wedding. - Yes, that's right.

- She's such a hot woman! - Oh, my!

- Go safe, girl. - Hmm.

- Anna, let's go. - Yeah.

People have to sit inside.

Don't put everything at the back.

I made a huge mistake, Vakkeel.

I shouldn't have asked you to tie the coconut that day.

Let it go, sir. That's why I spoke against it.

Pannimadan, two sickles.

- It's right here. - He's taking a machete.

Didn't you tell him what I said, Vakkeel?

Vembu anna, I was going to tell him on the way.

- He's packing a machete before that. - Idiot!

Ganesan, Selvapandi said that he'd come, but he isn't here.

- Ganesan. - Hmm?

We're not going to fight now.

I've seen many such problems before.

I'm older than you. Listen to me.

Let's not take to violence and revenge. We'll decide patiently.

What do you suggest?

Forget me.

What's Mookandi's family going to do?

He has three sisters.

His entire family is stranded now.

That's what I'm saying, too.

Think about what needs to be done for that family.

The guy who ordered the hit and the guys who did it are different.

Whom will you ask?

You must be patient.

It's true that our blood is boiling.

You must not fall prey to it.

We must get our answers from them through talks.

Like hell they'll answer! That won't work out.

Ganesan.

If you try to fight them, it will put more lives at risk.

Let's talk it out.

I won't change my decision.

Come with me if you are for it, or else you can leave.

Don't confuse us when we're leaving.

All right. As you wish. I'm not coming.

Vembu anna.

Vembu anna, wait! Let's talk.

Ever since the Dasara troupe was formed,

we didn't look at caste and whatnot, and we became close to each other.

It's fine if he doesn't do anything.

But if he can't stand with us even during difficult times, is he even human?

I'll come with you, Ganesan.

Ganesan, I'm with you too.

- Ganesan. - Hmm?

The weapons have been packed.

Let's go.

Come, dear.

You said that she'd be back from the hospital only next week.

- She's already here. - I don't know, Ganesan.

- What can we say? - She's heartbroken.

Go inside.

I want to go play.

We're home. Let's stay with your mother.

I'm hungry.

Neela!

Neela, what are you doing?

Neela, what are you doing? Get down!

Have you lost your mind?

- Get down! You have a kid! - Get down!

- What are you doing? - Get her down.

Oh, no! Oh, no!

Mallika, what did you just try to do?

Are you out of your mind?

Your people died because of me. Do I even deserve to live?

Just take care of my child. I'll go.

It's a worthless life. I've seen people die who didn't have to.

Everyone is mourning because of me.

I'm done with my life.

Look, Bama and Mookandi saved you and your child.

You've disgraced that sacrifice.

Listen to us.

You must be a mother to your child.

Don't orphan her.

We won't forsake you.

Don't do such things.

They won't let it go, akka.

Even after my husband died,

you all saved me like God and gave me and my child refuge.

But now two more lives have been lost because of me.

So, what should we do about it? Tell us!

Where are you going to live after leaving all of us?

We're all here to help you.

We've been close to each other like family.

Will we forsake you? Answer me!

I don't know what to do.

- Don't cry. - Chandran.

Akka, the car is here.

We're going to Nagercoil.

You stay here for two days and take care of them.

- I will. - Okay, take care of them.

- We'll get going. - I'll come to Nagercoil, too.

With you guys.

What? Are you playing with us?

Keep quiet. Haven't you taken enough?

It won't be right to try and save my life hereafter.

This is your kid from now.

Take care of her. I'm the one who's involved.

I will come. It won't be right to look past the unfair things they've done.

The time has come. I'll come with you.

What? Are we going to forgive them?

Don't be scared. We'll take care of it.

Let's go, Vakkeel.

- Buddy, what she says is right. - What?

One word from her will be more powerful than ten words from us!

Let her come with us.

Have you lost it?

They already sent men to kill her.

Are you suggesting we take her along and offer her to them?

I'm the only one who can identify the murderers.

Whom will you go in search of? Do you know them?

It will work out only if I come along.

Come on, let's go.

I'm sleepy.

Latha, take care of her until we're back.

If there's some issue, call Vembu.

Okay.

Goddess Mutharamman, if you exist,

go along with those who trust you and stand by them!

Anna, stop.

- How much? - ₹30, anna.

- Here. - Be careful.

Come in.

- Anna. - Yeah?

What place is this? It looks weird.

You said that we're going to Rajadurai anna's house.

This is his house. He used to live here.

Where is my husband?

Anna and your husband are on the way here.

Don't worry. Give this to me. Let's go in.

Raghu will be here soon. Come in.

Uma, turn the light on in that room.

Give it.

Eat.

I don't want it. Just take me to my husband.

Raghu was killed in a fight.

He won't come back.

Who killed him?

A troupe that puts on disguises for Dasara.

We tried a lot to save him.

We couldn't.

They chopped his head off.

We couldn't even show you his corpse.

That's what worries me.

Rajadurai anna is upset that Raghu is dead.

He didn't want you to cry like this.

So, he has offered to take you as a mistress if you agree.

It wouldn't have been right to speak to you about this at your house.

So, we brought you here.

Just agree to be Rajadurai anna's mistress, and you'll live a royal life.

What do you say? You agree, right?

- Tell us. - Pimp your mother out, you bastard!

You whore! How dare you say that!

You bitch! Hey!

- Get the rope. - You bastard!

Where do you think you're running?

- Where are you going? - Someone, save me!

You son of a bitch!

- Someone, save me. - Tie her up!

- Shut her mouth! - Put her down.

Tie her up tight.

She's so strong!

Call anna. Let's ask him and then decide.

All right.

The gate...

Son of a bitch.

- Hello, who is it? - Anna, this is Panner.

Tell me.

Anna, she's being too adamant and is screaming.

Did you tell her Raghu is dead?

Yes, anna. I told her you'd take good care of her.

She won't budge.

How will she budge and agree in just a day?

Make her agree little by little.

Anna, one must be thrown into the water to learn how to swim.

No, no, no!

We must not break open the door. We must put the key in and open it.

- Oh. - Okay?

Okay, anna.

Get down.

Oh, my.

Are you hungry?

- Neela, we left town in a fit of rage. - Hmm.

The ones who are alive are more important than the dead.

Can Mookandi's family be given a compensation somehow?

Vembu anna asked me to speak to you about this.

- Hmm. - Hmm.

- Okay, come on let's go. - Shall we go?

Come.

Greetings, sir.

- You placed the face-cut, right? - Okay, sir.

Get down quickly.

- Chandran. - Yeah?

Park somewhere close. Stay in the car.

All right.

POLICE

Mallika, identify the ones who are here to surrender.

Hmm.

Check who among them it is.

Do you recognise anyone?

They're surrendering for the murder case at Kulasekarapattinam.

Hmm. Do you accept the crime?

- We do, madam. - Hmm.

All right. Okay, surrender accepted.

Hey, the money will reach your homes.

- Okay, sir. - Once you're released,

I'll let you know about the next case. Be there.

Okay, sir.

What case is this?

They've come to surrender for the Kulasekarapattinam murder case.

Oh, mother!

- Buddy! - What?

They've come to appear for the Kulasai case.

Ganesan, don't be hasty.

- Hmm! - Hey, keep the knife in.

This is not them. They made someone else surrender.

- Go. - We'll be out soon. It's easy.

We almost carried the sin of murder.

Finish that case's accounts.

Don't drag the case because of some lame excuses from the notary.

Where's the lawyer? Hey, lawyer!

W-What is it?

If not for me and Koothaar, would you have killed Vargees?

Rajadurai is cheating me by not giving me money.

- I'm enraged! - Hey, Kaathadi.

If you want money from him, go get it yourself.

Once we finish his case, we get the money.

What can we do if you couldn't get the money?

Why are you pestering me? Go, pester them!

- Come on! This lady! - What?

We got into this trusting you.

Hey, hey!

Aye!

Aye!

Curse you all!

You'll be ruined!

You'll be damned!

Get that old woman.

She knows everything.

Hmm.

Let me go, Neela.

I work for money.

My husband, who came to kill you, got into an accident

and died!

Forgive me!

My husband died, I couldn't conduct my daughter's wedding,

they didn't give me the money and now they are shooing me away.

Neela, until I get my daughter married,

just spare my life.

I'll listen to you.

Here, take this.

Kaathadi.

Take it.

Do what we ask you to do.

We'll do what you ask for.

Keep this.

What should I do?

Where is Rajadurai?

I need to make a call right away.

- Kaathadi. - Hmm.

Rajadurai hasn't been home for three days.

- I don't know where he is. - Oh.

- I'll ask and let you know. - Let me know.

- Sure, I will. - Make it quick.

- Hmm. - Okay.

He'll let me know.

Here, drink this. Hmm!

Do you have a beedi?

I do.

How do you exactly know that he has beedis?

- I just know. - Hmm?

We've found the right person.

- Move. - Hey.

I need to relieve myself. I'm going.

There's no need. Stay here.

Why are you all not trusting me?

I'm shadowing you to help you out.

I will help you!

- Hmm! - She says she'll be back.

Let her go.

- Where are you going? - I'll keep watch. Come on.

Hey, what's with you? You want to watch me relieve myself?

- What are you? - Kaathadi, let him go along.

- Come, let's go! - It's my blasted fate!

She used to come to our home often.

We can use her to find out where everyone is and nab them.

- Huh? - Thank goodness.

At least he has this much sense.

- Hello. - Kaathadi.

He is at the club. Go see him there if you want.

- Okay, I'll hang up. - Good enough.

Don't misunderstand me for asking this.

Are you going to meet Rajadurai?

Or is it some other issue?

Show us where he is. We'll take care of the rest.

You don't have to do anything else.

Hmm...

Before the case's judgement, if we unite,

we can get out and form a team.

Huh?

- What do you say? - Who are you?

- Hmm? - He's like you.

He did something huge in Coimbatore and is stuck here for a small issue.

We found out only last month who you are.

It'll be good for all of us if we unite.

Our men took out Neela.

But the kid escaped.

If they had killed her too, I'd be happy.

There's something else to be happy about.

AJ cannot get out of jail anytime soon.

But I've just told him that we're getting him out on bail.

When you go, don't speak otherwise.

I won't.

How can I forget the past?

Give Durai some liquor.

I've just pasted posters all my life and have just wasted my life.

I wish to be a politician.

We're going to be the scapegoats for Barani and the police.

Some things can't be changed, Thamburan.

We just have to live with it.

Durai, you're wrong.

It can be changed.

You must be willing to do it.

How?

It's all in your hands.

But you won't go to jail for the next murder.

- AJ has to go to jail. - If he does, he should not get out.

Let's make such a plan.

Look, Rajadurai.

Next, it's going to be you in AJ's place and me in Barani's.

Do you understand?

All right, MLA sir.

I'm sure you'd be right.

You did exactly what you wanted, right?

Oh, well, the time has come.

Let's do everything one by one.

All right, I'll get going.

Carry on.

This is where they are.

They won't let me in.

You can try.

Pannimadan.

Hey! Why are you taking knives?

What's the problem?

We have to do something for Mookandi's family.

- Huh? - Let Vakkeel anna try talking.

Yes, Ganesan. I can go inside and check the status there.

- Pannimadan. - Hmm?

- You go along with him. - Okay.

Come on.

I don't understand what's going on here.

- Pannimadan, don't be rude to them. - Okay.

Whom do you want?

Rajadurai anna asked us to come.

We need to meet Thamburan.

- Boss. - Hmm.

Two people are here to meet you.

Who are they?

- Who sent you? - The surrender party from Valliyur.

They're here from Valliyur.

Let them in.

Vathiyar, come here.

Take them upstairs to Thamburan.

- All right. - Go ahead.

Go.

- Come. - There are so many here.

Give me a card.

Anna, it's them.

- Tell me. - Hello.

I need to speak to you alone, sir.

It's all right. Speak.

We're from Vanadesam.

We put on disguises for Dasara.

When we went to Kulasai, your men killed two of our people.

How do you know we did it?

We know. That's why we're here.

We make our ends meet through daily wage work.

We don't have the strength to go to court for justice.

What's happened has happened.

We're not here to fight.

We don't know what to do for the families that lost their loved ones.

So, we're here.

Please be kind and do something for them.

Look, we didn't do it.

Leave.

- You don't know who you're talking to. - Sir!

Be patient.

Neela, who you wanted dead, is not dead yet.

She has sent us to talk to you and is waiting down there.

If you don't believe me, go check.

I can't do anything about this by myself.

I'll talk to my boss and let you know.

Do talk! We're here to discuss and arrive at a decision.

Okay, wait.

- You go. - Okay, anna.

Ganesan, that is the guy who killed Bama.

Who? The one in the white shirt?

That is Barani.

The guy behind him, he's one of the four.

- Listen? - If he doesn't...

- Thamburan is on the line. - ...do what needs to be done.

Give it to him.

- Tell me. - Rajadurai.

Neela is not dead.

- Huh? - She's alive.

What are you saying? Are you sure?

- Yes. - Is it her?

She's here with the Vanadesam people and is asking for money.

What...

Okay, how many of our men are there?

- Ten. - They've brought her to her death.

None of them should leave alive.

- Finish them. - Okay.

- Greetings, anna. - Hmm.

Greetings, anna.

- Where is Thamburan? - He is inside.

Should I call him?

- No. - Okay.

- You go. - Okay, anna.

I've spoken to him.

Our guy will be here with the money in some time.

Everything will go smoothly. Take what you need.

- Okay? - I'm glad, sir.

- Vathiyar. - Huh?

Chandran, take the car and leave.

- Okay. - I'll come, too.

- No, go inside. - Get in!

- They're inviting trouble! - Nagini, come.

Kill Neela and the people with her.

- Okay, anna. - Go.

All of you come along.

Did you understand what I said?

His men are here. Go fast!

Get them! Get them!

Okay, all right.

Aye, who are you all?

Ganesan, be careful.

Stick to the sides.

Hey!

Stop!

Stop wriggling! Just walk straight!

- Let go! - What's that noise?

Where?

Kill them too!

What's that noise there?

Ganesan!

You bastards, let go of me!

Check on Nagini!

Vakkeel!

Let go of me!

Get him, Ganesan!

Come on. Hey, come here.

- Pannimadan! - Let's run away!

Come inside! Come inside!

Get in!

- Who is that? - Shut the door!

Who are you all?

Oh, no!

- Who are they? - They're breaking the door.

Pannimadan. Nagini. He is the one who raped Neela.

Hold it tight.

Where are you running off to?

Aye, stop!

Stop!

You ruined Neela's life and are happy here?

Give me the knife.

I won't spare you today.

Hey! Hey! Don't do it.

Die!

I asked you so many times what you are going to do.

You didn't tell me anything and look at how injured you are!

- Bear with it, Pannimadan. - Oh, mother! It hurts!

Hey, where is Mallika?

- Chandran, go quickly! - It got dangerous here,

so I put her on a bus to Vanadesam.

Okay, go.

Kaathadi, do something.

Oh, my! What is this?

We came here to resolve the problem.

But everything is going wrong.

- I'm the reason for everything. - Bear with it for a while.

I shouldn't have tied up the coconut that day!

Aye! Don't you know what to talk about in this situation?

Coconuts and whatnot.

Aye, go to the hospital soon.

Don't go to a Kottar hospital. Go to a Thuckalay hospital.

All the equipment has arrived.

They regularly stay at this club, sir.

Someone new was here, and they fought.

One of Rajadurai's guys got stabbed in his neck

and is in a critical condition at the hospital.

Hmm.

Sir, Barani was with a girl in this room.

- Hmm. - He tried to escape while fighting

and ran out of this door.

That's when he tripped and got stuck on this transformer.

There are no other injuries on Barani's body.

How are you so sure about it?

The girl was present at the scene. She is our witness.

- Where is the girl? - She is at the police station.

- Send her home. - Yes, sir.

Get the rest of the information from the forensic report.

File the report saying that he tripped and fell after getting drunk.

- Okay, sir. - We must know who came here.

We are inquiring about it.

OBITUARY MR. BARANI

Oh, no!

- Thamburan anna. - Hmm?

Pandi is dead.

Pandi is no more.

They killed my husband!

What are you going to do to them?

A major gang has come into Nagercoil. Did you hear?

No, no. Rajadurai's sister herself is a big villain for him.

Barani had sexually abused her for a while.

- Oh. - So, she brought people from her town

and had him killed.

Who is the next MLA then?

Who else? It will be AJ.

If not him, who else is there? That's it.

- Hello. - Vembu anna.

This is Vakkeel.

Tell me. What happened?

Just like you said, we almost lost our lives here.

We narrowly escaped death.

What are you saying?!

Pannimadan and I went to talk to Neela's people.

They pretended to agree at first and then tried to kill us.

We were on the brink of death.

We all escaped from there.

Nobody is hurt, right?

We all did get injured.

We sent Neela back to our town.

You guys didn't listen to me...

Okay, what's happened has happened.

We cannot arbitrate this with them.

All of you come back to town.

- We'll handle it. - Okay, anna.

Here's the food.

Let her use the toilet. Untie her hands.

I beg of you!

Please let me go, anna.

I'm begging you.

I'll go and live far away.

Please let me go. You'll be blessed!

Are you going to use the toilet or not? Go if you have to.

Or we'll tie you up again.

Not going?

Go this way.

Go to the right.

Go.

What does anna not have?

He told us, "Meena is like my queen. I'll take good care of her."

Think about it and let us know. Go.

I don't like this. I'll leave.

Please let me go.

- You'll be bless-- - Why are you going on and on about it?

Hey, let her eat.

Shut up, bastard!

Don't try to go back to your old life.

Be happy about the new life you're about to get.

If I were a woman

and he asked me to stand, I'd sit. If he asked me to sit, I'd lie flat.

Eat.

Huh?

Yuck!

You fucking whore! You dare spit on me?

Are you some virtuous woman?

Won't you become his mistress?

Why are you making us beg every day?

She won't be a mistress apparently.

You fucking whore!

- Die, bitch! - Aye, beat the hell out of her!

- You will never prosper! - Oh, she said it!

It's not like I'm prospering now!

Hello?

- Anna, this is Panner. - Tell me. What happened?

Anna, she is not budging.

- She won't listen. - What did you tell her?

I told her you'd take good care of her and she'd live a good life.

I told her she'd enjoy wealth and luxury, but she won't budge.

Hello? Anna?

Tell her that I'll marry her.

- Huh? Really? - Yes.

I will make her agree in two days.

You better listen to anna!

Or else I will tie you up and throw you into the sea!

Hmm.

Panner.

Are you back?

From the chest, all the way down.

Son, there are some clothes in this.

Take a look at who is dead.

SMK PARTY CANDIDATE SUCCUMBS TO ELECTROCUTION ACCIDENT

- Is he dead? - Yeah.

Thamburan, AJ, and Rajadurai, all of them work under him.

You guys killed the next MLA candidate.

I realise now that the Goddess is right beside us.

He tortured Neela.

That's why the Goddess electrocuted him brutally to death.

Some logic you have.

You did everything and are now blaming God?

Let's go from here first.

Yes, buddy. Let's go back to our town.

- Should we go back there to die? - Huh?

Rajadurai would've sent his men to your town to kill you all.

It's dangerous for you here in the first place. Go from here!

We need to shift base. Come on, let's go.

We will not leave this place until we kill Rajadurai.

If I'd known before that it was going to be about murder,

I'd have prepared you differently and sent you in there.

Differently how?

They are the ones who killed Babu Raja.

How can you expect justice from them?

It doesn't matter how big of a deal they are.

We won't spare their lives.

Why? Do all four of you want to die as well?

Do you even know what it is like to kill someone? Huh?

Have any one of you killed anyone before?

Uh-uh.

Uh-uh.

We are injured. How would we kill them?

While Neela was on her way back, she said that you were good people

and that you came here in a fit of rage.

So, she asked me to stay with you and look after you.

That's why I'm here.

Your enemy is now my enemy, too!

If you decide to kill someone, you should have a proper plan.

You need people you can trust.

You must have an escape plan.

Just like the ripples in the water when a stone is thrown into it,

the plan should be perfect.

What needs to be done for that?

We need money.

What's the need for money?

We should spy on people.

- Pay those who give us information. - Oh.

Not just that, you all have a lot to learn.

I will get the money.

Get things rolling, Kaathadi.

Hmm.

- Hey, get that. - Yeah.

Girl, get up. Come on.

- Hi, thatha. - Take your kid and leave quickly.

You shouldn't stay here anymore.

Go where? Why?

- What happened? - Barani died from electrocution.

Our people were knifed.

- I just got word from them. - What are you saying?

You shouldn't be alone here anymore. They will come in search of you.

Come and stay in my house. Let's go!

- Give her to me. - Our people are safe, right?

They've got knife wounds and are in the hospital.

They narrowly escaped death.

You need to get going.

Come on, quick.

The door?

I usually don't teach people to kill.

Since Kaathadi and you have been wronged, I agreed. Hmm!

If we wield our knife,

the enemy should be scared.

When you see your enemy, you have to predict where to stab.

You should look into the eyes of your opponent.

His hands might lie.

Hack me.

You only get a couple of seconds to hack someone.

You should kill him in that time.

Or else, he'll kill you.

Shanmugham, take them along and train them.

AJ.

Neela is not dead.

She came with people from Vanadesam to the club to arbitrate things.

Rajadurai told me to kill her.

But the guys who came along with her got tipped off

and took her away safely.

Damn it.

In the altercation, Barani was electrocuted to death.

Hmm.

All these years, as I was pulling the rope of the well,

I thought the pitcher would only bring up water.

But it has brought us a treasure now.

It's good for us that Barani died.

Hmm?

The politics is in our hands now.

The people in town already say that you're the next MLA.

Why should my name come up?

- Huh? - I am in jail now.

Rajadurai?

Who? Him?

Who will vote for his face?

The whole town knows what he has been doing since his early days.

Who contests in elections these days?

Teachers or political heirs.

People believe in them.

So, shouldn't we contest them?

We are not in the hearts of the people.

We're part of their fears.

If our faces are printed on posters, won't they spit on them?

We should select a good person from our side that people like.

Who?

The next MLA is my son, Arun!

This is my birthday present for him.

In two years, we should make people know Arun as a politician.

Okay.

But Barani's killers and Neela shouldn't be kept alive.

- All right. - Hmm.

Rajadurai.

Everything has gone out of our hands.

We are the ones who should be in that position.

AJ has changed.

Let me tell you.

If Arun comes back here, you will become his servant.

Anna, shall we go?

Start the car.

Shanmugham, everyone is here.

- Greetings, anna. - All right.

Hey, take everything off the corpse.

- Hmm! - Hey, put the flame out.

The moment we brandish our knives, our opponents must be scared.

We shouldn't slash him in several places, enrage him

and get killed in the process.

The neck, chest and hip.

If you stab him there, he will die immediately.

Practise stabbing on this corpse.

This is a corpse. If you stab it, it will just take it.

A person who is alive won't be like that.

He will fight you. First, you should look at his eyes.

As soon as you see him, you must predict where the stab will kill him.

The opponent could be skilled in fighting.

If we focus, we can take the opponent out.

Shanmugham, it's ready.

Finish it before people come here.

Here.

Hmm.

Stab.

Stab!

That is not how you do it.

Hold it like this and shove it down.

Hmm!

Don't be scared.

Stab with intent!

Keep stabbing.

These are the main veins. One stab and they'll be half dead.

Stab it!

Who are they stabbing at?

Whose corpse is that?

He is a thug who murdered many.

Why do you seem off?

My brother plans to have Arun contest for the MLA elections.

Why? Didn't you tell me that you were going to contest?

Things have changed.

My brother decides everything.

Do you know how many enemies we have right now?

My brother doesn't know that and wants a young boy to contest.

Okay, Arun doesn't have to contest then.

You could have told him that you want to contest, don't you?

My brother doesn't make a decision in a hurry.

He has already planned out what to make of his son.

I have to be at his mercy until the end.

Arun is not some other family's child.

He is our boy, isn't he?

He isn't actually my son.

If I call him "son," he will still call me "uncle."

- Who is it? - It is Arun.

Don't tell him that his father wants to make him an MLA.

We can tell him in person once he comes here for his birthday.

Okay.

Hello, son, Arun!

- Hello, amma! - Tell me, son.

My ticket is confirmed.

- Dad is coming to the airport, right? - Yeah.

Your father will be here when you reach. Get ready.

Okay, amma.

Sure.

He will come to the airport to pick you up.

BABU RAJA'S MURDER DON'T SPARE THE KILLERS

STRONG CONDEMNATION OF POLICE ARREST THEM!

Sir, they're from around Tirunelveli.

They are the ones involved in the Barani's case.

What's the motive?

Sir, Rajadurai's younger sister was in Vanadesam.

While trying to kill her, they ended up killing two of the townsfolk.

That is their motive, sir.

Haven't they been arrested yet?

Sir, Rajadurai is not involved in this directly.

Moreover, those guys haven't come to town yet.

The local police station informed me that Neela is not in town either.

- You asked us to come? - Did you see those posters?

It is pasted on my house's compound, too.

Barani's death...

They are stirring up the Babu Raja matter, too.

Do they know we did it?

That won't come out.

But someone connected to us has done this.

We have to find out who.

You don't have to do anything. I'll take care of it. Just shut it.

Aye!

They've come to our town and killed two of our men.

And we shouldn't do anything?

You know who died, right?

I wasn't there at that time!

I won't let this go.

I have sent men to Vanadesam.

Do it then. We all will get caught together.

How so?

Why is he speaking nonsense?

So?

I was present there during the fight.

If we don't retaliate, they won't fear us anymore.

Neela has become arrogant that those Vanadesam people are behind her.

All right. I should arrest you two tomorrow in the Babu Raja case.

You won't be able to get out till the end of your life.

Does the one who pasted the posters know it's us?

Will someone who doesn't know dare to paste those posters?

They are opening up Babu Raja's matter and are up to something else.

For now, don't do anything to Neela.

If you still do something, I cannot support you.

All right. We won't do anything.

Get going.

Get it in!

Slice from an angle.

No, stab and twist!

Cut it. Not like that. Pull back and stab with force.

Here he comes.

What are you looking at? Hmm?

Buzz off!

- Huh! - Aye!

Huh, that's it!

Come on.

Hey, they served better food in Palayamkottai jail.

Why is the food so sad here in Nagercoil?

- Hey! Go save him. - Okay, anna.

- Hey! - Aye!

Hey, move!

I have taught you what you need to know.

Your life is more important than taking the opponent out.

If one of you gets caught during a fight--

We will not leave anyone behind.

Don't try to save anyone.

Then?

Escape while you can.

There needs to be people left to complete a revenge, right?

- Hello? - Anna!

Once I told her you'd marry her, she agreed.

Really?

Yes, of course.

We'll bring her tomorrow.

Anna, we hit her in an attempt to make her agree.

She's a bit injured.

It's all right. It is not easy to make someone accept it.

Nothing works as good as a couple of smacks do.

- Okay, anna! Come in the morning. - No, no!

- I'll come over at night. - All right, then.

Okay.

Just a little.

- Hello. - This is Kaathadi.

- Okay. - Did you get information?

- Have you been to Kuzhivilai? - Yeah.

Rajadurai has a house over there. They're there.

- They're there? - Yes.

I know the place. I will go there and handle it.

- You'll get the money. Bye. - All right.

Ganesan, Durai's men are at Kuzhivilai.

It will be all right if we start now.

Meena, hereafter we will address you as our sister-in-law.

Please don't tell anna about us ogling at you or hitting you.

Forgive us, madhini.

We'll see.

Wait, madhini.

Come on! I will clean it.

You can wash your hands in this, madhini.

I have agreed to it, right?

Then why the fuck are you tying me up?

Madhini, please let us do our job.

It's just until anna gets here.

Hey, take care of her.

Anna will be here. I will wait out front.

Okay.

Turn right and wait.

He mentioned that it was near this bus stand.

Ganesan.

You see that guy standing there? It's that house.

Nagini. All of you, get down.

Go.

Son of a bitch!

- Don't run, you son of a bitch! - Stop!

Vakkeel, someone is inside the house.

Yes, I noticed.

Let's go unassumingly.

Ganesan, that way.

- Wait here. - All right.

Ganesan, climb carefully.

Hey, you better stop!

Where is he?

He escaped.

We looked everywhere but couldn't find him.

Get inside the van.

He escaped somehow.

Rajadurai is here!

- Hey, Chandran. - The one in that car?

Start the car immediately. Let's go.

Kaathadi, we'll kill him here. Get down!

Nobody should get down.

If Rajadurai is coming, his men will be right behind him.

Ganesan and Vakkeel are inside.

We don't know what happened there.

- What did he say that day? - Damn it.

Didn't he say that people need to remain to take revenge?

Chandran, start the car.

All right.

Die!

You bitch, where are you going?

Move.

- Hey, Vakkeel! - Vakkeel!

Run over here! Come on!

Get inside the car.

Kaathadi, Ganesan is inside.

Rajadurai is inside too.

We shouldn't stay here.

Hey, Panner?

THAAI CINEMAS

What is your name?

Meena.

What is your name?

Ganesan.

Who are you?

Why did they have you kidnapped?

Fate.

My husband died in a fight.

Those men kidnapped me.

They forced me to become their boss' mistress.

Don't cry.

Hey!

Is anyone there?

Hey!

Can anyone hear me?

Hey, I can't take this.

Hmm.

Yes, right here. Pull over.

- Come on. - Get down.

- I'll stay in the car. - All right.

- We have to go straight. - Let's go.

He has a lot of rashes.

I'll give you an unripe fruit.

Mix it with milk and apply it for three days.

- It will heal. - Okay, sir.

- Welcome, Kaathadi. - Yes.

- You're well, right? - Yes, I'm well.

Sit down.

- Welcome. - These are my people.

Have you told them about the poison?

You tell them.

Listen to what I'm saying carefully.

I never give this concoction to anyone so easily.

I'm giving it because Kaathadi recommended you guys.

This was plucked from a place where both humans and animals rarely go.

This is a poisonous concoction made from such a plant.

If this accidentally touches your mouth, eye or an open wound,

- that will be the end. - Hmm!

If you apply this poison to a knife and stab someone,

that person will have only one minute.

If you make that person waste a minute, he will die.

Keep it safe.

Kaathadi, be cautious.

Here.

Give it to me.

It's open?

Huh?

Motherfuckers, is anyone around?

Come here!

Hey!

Hey!

Come here!

Someone bloody come here!

Hey, hey!

Hey, oldie! Bring a rope.

Go on! A rope! Get a rope!

Hey, oldie!

Are you deaf? Can you hear me?

Go and bring someone!

Hmm?

- Hello? - Anna, this is Ganesan.

- How are you? Are you fine? - Ganesan! Where are you?

I'm still in Nagercoil.

You're not harmed, right?

- I'm unharmed. I'm fine. - Okay, all right.

Did you get any information about Vakkeel and the others?

- Vakkeel called me. - All right.

He said they were going to meet a traditional doctor near Mayiladi.

Okay, anna. I will go to Mayiladi then.

- Okay. - If they call,

tell them that I'll be waiting near the Mayiladi bus stand.

All right.

- I've found a lawyer on our behalf. - Is it?

All of you come back quickly.

Dasara is about to start.

Okay, anna.

We will all meet at Mayiladi and come together.

Until then, tell Neela not to stay alone in her house.

- It's already done. - Oh, is it?

I'm having her stay at different houses.

All right, anna. That's good.

Mudhra is now with the kids at my place.

- Don't worry. - Okay, anna. I'll hang up.

Okay.

Tell me which town you have to go to.

I'll get you on that bus.

Keep this for your expenses on the way.

Take it!

I can't go anywhere.

They will come searching for me.

They must already be on their way to my mother-in-law.

If I go to my mother-in-law as well, they will get hold of me again.

I'll come with you.

The situation isn't great here.

If you stay with us at this time, it's not good for you.

So, go wherever you think is safe for you.

I don't know where to go.

Don't leave me alone. I'm scared of everyone.

ANJUGRAMMAM VIA MAYILADI

- All the papers are ready. - The documents are fine, right?

Greetings, SP sir.

Why didn't the SP speak to you?

Well, they went to Kozhivilai, killed Panner and took Rajadurai.

- Oh! - That's why.

The SP kept calling me through the night to ask where Rajadurai was!

- Is that so? - I told him I didn't know.

He didn't believe me.

That's why he is walking away upset.

Is Rajadurai still not back?

Where the hell did he go?

Proceed.

Sir, he was in jail all these years for a crime he didn't commit.

He hasn't been granted bail till now.

Since his son is returning from abroad,

I request the honourable judge to grant him bail.

Yes, public prosecutor. What do you say?

There are already a few murder cases pending on the accused, sir.

Also, he is one of the suspects in Masi's murder case.

If we release him in this situation, several violent incidents may occur.

Therefore, I request the honourable judge

to dismiss the bail application after deliberation.

Wrong, Your Honour.

When he went out on bail for his son's birthday last year,

he was well-behaved.

I humbly request you to take it into consideration and give him bail.

Sir, in relation to the scuffle he was involved in jail,

an affidavit issued by the prison authorities has been attached.

I request you to take that into account as well.

On accepting the police's request and since the situation is critical,

the bail request has been denied.

The court orders that he will be put back in jail.

Sir.

Who tried to take me out in jail?

- What are you saying? - Yeah.

It... must be Babu Raja's men.

I told you already that they pasted posters all across town.

Where is Rajadurai?

He is busy arranging for Arun's birthday party.

Hmm.

Thamburan.

We should kill AJ in prison before Arun gets here.

If we keep him alive, it's dangerous for us.

- Watch your step. - Go in the front.

We don't know what happened to Ganesan.

We will know if we make a phone call to Vembu anna.

- Hold this. - Give it.

You seem to know all such places.

What can I do? My job is like that.

I bought the food.

Here's the money.

Yeah, give it.

- Come on. - Let's go.

Where did you find him?

If you pay money, anything can happen.

Kaathadi, here.

Wizard, sit!

This place is a safe hideout.

Let's stay here until Ganesan comes.

Yeah. Get the food out.

Those folks are here.

Is that old hag Kaathadi there with them?

I don't know who Kaathadi is, but there is an old woman with them.

Hey, come on! Let's go.

- Here. - Yeah.

Hey, don't run! Stop!

I'll go.

Surround them and rip them apart!

Aye, let's go!

These bastards came here too. Motherfuckers!

None of them should leave alive.

Let's rip these bastards' faces apart!

Surround them.

No one should escape.

Go on!

Hey, Vakkeel! Move away.

Watch out!

- Here! - Get the knives!

Slit their fucking throats! Don't let it get on your hands.

- Put it on! - Go now, quick!

Die!

You fucking dare to slash your knife at us?

Motherfucker!

Hey, go inside!

You fucking bastards!

Die, you son of a bitch!

Rip him apart!

You're dead today!

Kaathadi, run away.

- Run! Run! - That bitch is running.

Get them all!

- Hey, Pannimadan! - Kaathadi, run away.

Die!

You bitch! We're killers and you're trying to play tricks with us?

Just die!

- Chandran, start the car! - Pannimadan, get in! Come on!

Quick! Quick!

- Get in! - Move! Move!

- Drive fast! - He is coming! Step on it!

You sons of whores! Stop!

Don't run away scared, you bastards!

Stop! You bastards!

We need to find a hideout soon.

We have to somehow save Nagini!

Huh?

Damn it!

Mayiladi is here. Get down!

Let's go!

Girl. Girl? Get up, child!

God knows who did this to her.

- Hey. - Tell me.

A girl was knifed there. Can you come?

Oh, no! I won't!

A girl was knifed at the banana groves.

Can you come and save her?

- Where? - Right here, inside the field.

Nagini!

Who did this to you?

- Nagini! - Lift her up!

Nagini, where are the others?

Go and get an autorickshaw!

Get up!

Where are Kaathadi, Vakkeel and Pannimadan?

Can you hear me?

You're fine. Let's go to a hospital!

- Vembu. - Tell me, Vakkeel.

Nagini was stabbed!

- She's trapped with the enemy. - What are you saying?

She was brutally stabbed!

We went there to hide.

There were around 15 people. They're out for blood.

We escaped.

- But Nagini got caught. - What? You left her behind?

We went back to save her, but she was not there.

Did Ganesan call you?

He said he was going to Mayiladi to meet you people.

If Ganesan calls, let him know we left Mayiladi and are in Nagercoil.

We're staying in a room at SK Lodge near Vadasery Bus Stand.

We will leave from here only when he gets here. Let him know.

Okay. Which lodge?

- SK Lodge. - Okay.

- Sir, can we take her home? - This is a police case.

We have informed the police.

Someone from the police station will come in the evening.

We have nothing to worry about her now, right?

She will be fine with two weeks of rest.

- Okay, sir. - Take care of her.

- She is my friend. - Hmm.

We all belong to the same Dasara troupe that puts on disguises.

She's in this state now. I'll make a phone call and be back.

- Can you stay and look after her? - Hmm.

I'll be back. Take care of her.

Hey--

Who killed him?

A Dasara troupe that puts on disguises.

Are you feeling better now?

Yes, I'm better.

What happened on Dasara?

Every year we fast and wear prayer beads for Dasara.

It would be filled with dances, celebration and joy.

When we went last time, a guy and a girl from our troupe were killed.

We didn't know why they were killed or who did it.

The whole village has been in mourning since then.

If we knew who it was then, we'd have slayed them dead!

We later found out that it was Neela's brothers.

A group of us planned to kill them and left from there.

Those fuckers were all wielding knives.

The girl who died, Bama, was Ganesan's woman.

They were going to get married after the festival.

She was stabbed to death that night with the nuptial thread in her hand.

We couldn't even look at them.

Mookandi was holding onto one of the killers.

If one of them got caught, there was a chance he might tell on them,

so they chopped that guy's head off and killed Mookandi, too.

Those men who had tied you up?

They both were a part of that gang, too.

We don't know who among them got killed.

Why are you crying?

He was my husband.

Who?

Who was your husband?

You mentioned a guy's head was chopped off, right?

It's him.

He went there to brawl.

I never knew he was into this kind of a job.

My mother-in-law hid everything and got us married.

I found out about him two days into our marriage.

What could I do?

But now they hid the news of his death,

held me captive and beat me up to make me Rajadurai's mistress.

That is when you all came in and saved me.

- Anna. - Tell me.

Did Vakkeel call you?

He said that they left Nagini behind in the scuffle. What happened?

Well, when I got to Mayiladi,

I found Nagini and got her safely to the hospital. Where are they?

They've got a room at SK Lodge in Vadasery.

Oh. Okay, anna.

They said they'll take the next steps only after you get there.

Anna, when Nagini gets a bit better,

I will send her back to our town.

Another girl will be with her. Keep her in our town, too.

Also, inform the lawyer to have a word at the police station.

- Sure, I will talk to the lawyer. - The hospital says it's a police case.

- Who's the girl? - There's no time to say that now.

I will tell you in person.

- Take care of Nagini. - Okay, anna.

I'll get going.

- Be careful. - Ganesan.

Her husband was the one who died when they killed Bama and Mookandi.

There is pain on one side and pity on the other.

Poor thing. What can she do?

If she hadn't hit that guy on his head while I was fighting that day,

his knife would have pierced my chest.

Please forgive me.

I will never forget your help.

Did she say anything else?

I said a lot, Ganesan. I didn't know her husband was one of the killers

and told her the whole truth.

Hey!

Huh?

Is this why you came here in a hurry?

Your lives have gone for a toss because of my husband.

Intentionally or not, I've become a reason for it, too.

I don't have anyone.

I'll just jump from here and die.

You are an honest person, and that's why you saved my life.

I realised that you don't have anyone when you came with me on the bus.

You have a good heart.

Don't make the wrong decision and lose your life.

Get down.

Moreover, if you jump from here, you will not die.

You'll only break your bones.

And then, you will be bedridden for life.

Whenever we think someone's life is going to end,

they say that a new world is born that day.

Just trust that you're entering a new world from today and come.

Aye! Aye!

Hey, oldie!

Throw a rope in, and I will give you a bracelet.

I'll give you a ring and chain, too.

Hey, oldie!

Save me! Save me, man!

Hey...

Oldie!

Damn you to hell!

You've done a good deed.

- Hold the rope! - Hmm.

Shall I climb up?

Yes, climb up.

Climb up.

Come on up.

I'm coming up!

Climb.

Careful! Take it slow.

- Oh, my testi-- - Be careful.

Hey, you said that you'd give me some things!

Asshole!

I asked for a rope and you were fucking around, motherfucker.

Stop. Stop.

Get in.

- Drive. - Where do you want to go?

Akka, the boys searched everywhere.

We couldn't find anna.

I suspect the Dasara troupe.

They would have taken him and did something to him.

I am telling you that nothing has happened to him!

Kaathadi is with them. That's why I'm saying so.

- Hello? - This is the SP speaking.

- Is Thamburan there? - Yes, he is.

It's the SP.

Yeah, sir.

Did Rajadurai come there?

Not yet.

A body was found near the Vadasery bridge.

- What? - I was told it looks like Rajadurai.

- Huh? - Yes, that's why I called you.

Bring Suba to identify the body. I'll inform them.

All right.

What did he say?

It's nothing. We have to go to Vadasery. Come on.

Why?

It's nothing. Just come with me. Let's go.

I am asking you why.

There is a dead body, and the SP wants you to identify it.

A dead body? Is he dead?

He is not dead, and I'm not going anywhere.

Suba.

Listen to me!

- They just want him to be dead. - Suba!

Come on, I will identify it. Anna has a scar on his thigh.

Why are you staring?

Anna gets drunk and passes out in his underwear every day.

I know. I have seen it clearly.

Son of a whore. Shut up!

Don't utter nonsense!

Start the car.

Stop here, man.

Anna, the money?

You will get your fucking money. Wait here.

Thamburan, it's Durai anna.

- Welcome, anna! - Stop the car.

Hey, someone pay for the autorickshaw.

Right away, anna.

Aye! Stop it, you motherfuckers!

Durai, everyone is out looking for you.

Where were you? What happened to you?

Huh? I was in a well.

- Are you kidding? - It's true.

The guy who killed Panner pushed me into the well.

Anna, the Dasara troupe came with that old hag Kaathadi and chased me.

When I came to take away Panner's body in a car,

- I didn't see you. - You dickwad!

The well was right there.

Did any of you bother to peek in?

Anna, how can we search for a tiger in a cat's house?

You are such a big deal!

Will someone believe that you were in a well?

This guy!

- Save your fucking stories for others! - Oh, no! Anna!

Buzz off! Looked for me, my foot.

- We searched for you everywhere. - Damn fuckers.

- I haven't slept at all. - He's weaving stories!

Even that fucking SP told me

to come and identify a body that looks like you near Vadasery.

I was going to check.

Suba was the one who was sure you'd be back.

The police do stretch their imagination.

- Forget it. - Come, bathe first!

- Yeah. Hey, Thamburan. - Hmm?

Get me a bottle.

A couple of pegs will ease my body before going to the airport.

Okay.

Uma, put up all the colourful serial lights tonight.

When Arun comes tomorrow, the house should look vibrant.

- You heard Thamburan, right? - Hmm.

- The lights must dazzle. - All right.

Okay? Go.

If we let Gladwyn know, he will ace it.

Yeah.

Huh? Is that so?

All right!

Okay, okay. Hang up now.

- It's time! It's time! - Huh?

Boy, the time has come to kill Rajadurai.

You come as you please and give information.

You talk to someone as you please.

You blurt out all the information to us.

Who gives you such information?

I shouldn't say that.

If I reveal my source, they'll kill me or get me caught by the police.

Then, it will--

Who is it?

- Is it the police? - Oh, no!

- Pannimadan, come quickly! - I don't know who told them!

What is it?

- It's the police. - Why are you shouting?

- It's the police! - Hold up.

There are no police vehicles out there.

Did you check properly who it is?

It must be Rajadurai's men. They have surrounded us.

Motherfuckers!

Hey, wizard! Get up!

- What happened? - Get up! Come on!

- Give me the eggs. - Kaathadi, here.

I'll throw it on their faces!

- Hey! - Gosh.

- Did you get scared? - It's our people.

What is this, Ganesan? You could have said something.

- We thought you were someone else. - Hey...

- I just checked if you all were alert. - Nagini.

Sorry, we had to leave you behind at the fight.

- It's all right, Kaathadi. - Come in.

- Come. - Nagini, lie down.

Kaathadi, this is Meena.

She was the one who was locked up during the brawl that day.

Why have you brought her along?

She's also affected much like us.

She's in danger, too.

So, I plan to send her to safety along with Nagini back to our town.

Hey, finish bathing.

Okay, I'll be right back.

My eyes are stinging.

Kaathadi, is there any new information?

- There is. - How will she not have any?

- What is it? - She's a walking newspaper.

AJ's son is landing here from abroad tonight.

- Oh! - To receive him,

all of them are going to the airport.

We have to use this opportunity to take them all out.

Bama and Mookandi's death.

He should know when he dies that this is revenge for that.

We'll do it, guys!

We're taking him out tonight.

Arun's flight lands at 2:00 a.m.

Hey, didn't you say your daughter's matchmaking would happen today?

Did you forget?

Oh, my!

I completely forgot.

Hello.

Thamburan, why haven't you come to identify the body yet?

- Sir, Rajadurai is not dead. - What are you saying?

He just got here. You called me before I could inform you.

Where was he?

During a brawl, he fell into a well and lost consciousness.

- In a well? - Hmm.

Someone over there saved him, and he just got home.

Hmm. Okay then.

- Hmm! - Here.

Where's the girl's father?

He is an ardent follower of Lord Shiva.

He got immersed in spirituality and took to asceticism.

Okay then.

Come.

Kaathadi, shall we exchange the plates in agreement?

Yes, we shall.

Do you like the girl?

Yes, I do like him.

- Take it. - You receive it.

Here.

- Give it. - Give it to them, buddy.

- Here. - May the wedding go smoothly.

- Wish you the same. - All right.

- Please sit. - I'm glad!

How am I going to manage without your father?

- You're here for me. - Kaathadi.

Why are you crying when a good thing is happening?

We're all here for you. Be happy.

God has shown me good people at least at the end of my days.

I have nothing to worry about anymore.

All right, everything will go well.

Shall we leave?

Yeah, we will.

Hey, be careful.

Tell Arun that his father is out on bail but he's busy with work.

- All right? - Hmm. Okay.

- Aye! - Anna?

- Drive slowly. - Okay, anna.

Let the vehicle behind come closer.

- Hey, Gladwyn. - Yeah?

How is your serial lights business?

I have orders from 10 wedding halls.

God has been kind to me.

- What else? - God has been kind?

Yeah.

What are you looking at?

Where is that sound coming from?

Hey, do we have weapons in the car?

- We do, anna. - Stop the car!

Hey, surround that car.

- Who is it? - Why are they stopping us?

Hey, where are you going?

Anna, we're going to the Mandaikadu Temple.

- Is there a problem, anna? - No fucking problem!

- Aye! - Huh!

- You motherfuc-- - Satan is circling him!

Hey, stop the truck.

Stop it! Stop! Where are you going?

Hey!

- Anna? - Let the truck go.

Leave!

Durai, it's not them.

Yeah. I thought the motherfuckers were caught!

- Hey, get in! - Okay, anna.

Get on!

- Arun! - He has grown so much.

- Where is Arun? - He came this way.

- I don't see him. - He must be around.

- Hey, go check there. - I'll check, anna.

Where did he go?

He must be around. Check over there.

Where could he have gone at this hour?

Durai, check in that crowd over there.

Akka, I've searched everywhere. He's missing.

Where's my son?

- Durai. - Hmm.

- Is it Kaathadi? - No.

It's Babu Raja's men.

How can you say that?

Nobody other than them could have kidnapped the boy from an airport.

Okay, I will talk to the SP and have the checkposts searched.

- All right. - We'll search, too.

Okay.

- Let's go. - Get the car.

- Coming, anna. - My son?

He'll be back. Come.

Ganesan, Kaathadi is here.

- Where's Vakkeel? - He must be inside.

Come on!

Come on.

Get in quickly.

- Get in! - Vakkeel, grab my hand.

- Come on. - Be careful.

Get in, Ganesan!

- Climb in. - Careful.

Ganesan, he is AJ's son.

Don't be scared. We won't harm you.

You get going in this car. I'll bring the boy.

Listen, I'll come too.

- Why? - Look.

You go ahead. We'll be back with the boy.

Be careful. We must find our boy before he gets out.

Look, if Babu Raja's men ask for money, please just give it!

I don't want your fucking suggestions. Just leave!

I gave birth to him! My child should come back to me!

- Do you understand? - Leave!

He'll be back.

Hey, two of you go in that car.

Why did Suba say that she gave birth to him?

He's my brother's son, too.

Huh?

Hmm!

Who knows who will enjoy whose property?

Durai, how did it happen?

When my sister-in-law and I were together, anna caught us once.

Then he forced us to get married and moved away from us.

Still, his anger on me never subsided.

He kept sending me to prison for every crime he committed.

I was confused, unaware of how to exact revenge against him.

Oh!

Is that why you agreed to kill your brother?

Sure. Like this is important now?

Can't you keep your fucking mouth shut?

Hello, who is this?

This is Durai.

Durai, I've investigated thoroughly.

It is definitely not Babu Raja's men who kidnapped Arun.

Do you have any idea who it could be?

Then it must be the Dasara troupe.

Them?

Yes, it's them.

I will go to Vanadesam and rip them to shreds!

- Take the left and go inside. - All right.

Let's ask here.

Where is the house of people who dress up for Dasara?

Can't you respectfully get down and ask for the address?

I'm busy here.

Grab him and throw him in. He'll reveal it then.

If we come to another town, our power won't work.

Until we find out where Arun is, keep quiet.

I will go and ask him.

The guy who gives me directions to the Dasara prayer group

can take this money.

There are many who do it. We don't know who you are referring to.

They do it as a troupe.

Just show us their house.

The town?

There is Thekkur, Mekkur, Keezhur and Melur.

Which one do I tell you about?

The guy who organises it,

point me to him.

You're giving us money and are asking us to identify someone.

What can we say? We don't know if it's for a good cause or a bad one.

Keep this, too.

Just show me their house and that's enough.

Come, I will show you his house.

Anna, it's the house with the portico.

- Which one? - The second one.

Yes, it's this one. Stop.

Vembu anna!

- Who is it? - Vembu anna!

I'm coming.

They asked me to show the Dasara troupe organiser's house.

They said it was urgent. So...

- Who are you? - Anna, did you forget?

I brought two loads of sand for the Dasara troupe.

- What's the matter? - They--

Your men have kidnapped our boy.

Just show us the place. Let's not make it an issue.

Oh, they will be at Sarvodaya Sangam. Go, meet them there.

Hmm!

Hey, where is Sarvodaya Sangam?

Go straight, turn west and then turn south.

Get in the vehicle.

Who knows who they're here to trouble? Why should I get involved?

Motherfucker! He's running away!

He has given us the directions. Come on, let's go.

SARVODAYA SANGAM VANADESAM

When we checked the van at the bypass, this truck was behind us, right?

Yes, this was it.

Arun should be here.

You go that way.

I'll check this side.

Hey, go search that side.

You guys check over there.

Where is he?

Arun!

Arun!

Arun!

Boy, come!

Come and get in the vehicle.

Arun, come on! Let's go!

My boy, Arun?

Arun!

Son!

Shall we surround them?

No.

Open the door, son.

Let's go--

Arun, come! Let's go!

Aye, Rajadurai!

You are dead today.

Did I bring him here so that I can send him off with you?

We brought him here to make you come here.

Hey, let go of his hand.

- Go! - We'll deal with you today.

Hey, calm down!

- Thamburan, they have anna. - They have surrounded us.

- Calm down. - Come on!

- Vembu. - Ganesan, let him go.

Hand them over to the police.

What harm did I do to all of you?

I went to start a new life after you ruined my life.

In the end, you killed my husband, too.

I managed to escape somehow and came to this town fearing for my life,

and I am leading a life with my kid.

Why are you so enraged at me?

Tell me what I did to you that you want to kill me.

I treated you both as my brothers.

You came to kill me and ended up taking away two innocent lives.

You won't die a peaceful death!

Enough with the cheating, Chithappa.

Son, Arun!

This bitch eloped after cheating our family.

Don't believe anything she says.

Come with me.

You are the one who handed my father over to the police.

You killed Vargees to stop him from revealing it to my father.

My mother trusted you innocently and betrayed Vargees.

Even after that, you've tried to kill my aunt and her child.

This is very wrong!

- Son, what are you saying? - You better apologise to everyone,

and then you and Thamburan should surrender in court, Chithappa.

My mother and aunt have told me everything.

Arun, come on, son. Let's go.

You don't understand.

- Listen to me. - Chithappa, don't.

Come, son.

Chithappa, I won't come with you.

Oh, come on, son! Arun, I'm telling you to come!

- Arun! - Aye!

Motherfucker!

You dare to kick me?

Hmm!

It's done.

Drive!

- Die! - Oh, no!

Arun!

Neela akka! Neela akka!

What did my aunt do? Why did you stab her?

You!

Die! Go to hell!

- Carry her! - Let's rush to the hospital.

Take her to the hospital right away!

The police are coming!

The police are coming!

- The police are coming! - Neela!

Before the police come, carry Neela away. Quick!

- Lift her! - No one stays here. Go!

- Get out of here! - Go! Get out of here!

Scatter! Go! Get away!

Ganesan, come on!

- AJ! - Huh?

Someone is here to see you.

Did Arun not come? Where's my son?

Arun has been kidnapped.

Which bastard dared to touch my son?

We had gone to the airport to receive Arun.

Neela's townsfolk kidnapped Arun and Suba there.

What are you saying? What the fuck was Rajadurai doing then?

Rajadurai and I went with our men to retrieve Arun.

But they used the villagers to attack us.

Rajadurai stabbed Neela and that got him killed.

Those Dasara guys

killed Rajadurai.

We tried a lot to save him, but we couldn't.

Aye, SP!

We thought you are some big fucking deal of a police officer!

Did you let the killer escape and come here to catch snakes instead?

Look, AJ. We don't know where they have kept Suba and Arun.

If I arrest the villagers now, the others may harm Arun in anger.

There is no guarantee for Arun's life.

We even tried to take away Neela's child.

We couldn't.

No, don't do anything for now.

The revenge has found its root in Vargees's child.

They have made this plan knowing I would go in search of Arun.

There is proof of Rajadurai killing Neela at the local police station.

They said that they don't know about Arun and Suba.

After the autopsy, Rajadurai's body is at the government hospital.

No one knows anything yet.

Only Thamburan and I know.

Don't announce Durai's death to anyone either.

He and you both have been of great help to me.

Now, my son's life is in danger. Moreover, Durai is dead.

Now, it's just you two beside me.

I will always be on your side.

Always.

When I burn that village down and come back,

just make sure that I'm not put back in jail.

- Okay. - Once Arun becomes an MLA,

I will clear all the cases against you.

Don't worry. We'll get going.

- Hmm. - Hmm.

First, I have to save my son.

I have a score to settle, and it's bothering me now.

That fucking piece-of-shit town Vanadesam. I will burn it down!
