Our Tamil Nadu, which is ancient and special

has a unique culture and speciality in every town.

Likewise, the Shiva temple in Thiruvannamalai is renowned as the place of fire.

Thiruvannamalai is surrounded by many beautiful villages.

While we generally worship Lord Shiva,

in those villages, it is customary to worship Karuppasami an avatar of Shiva.

It is a tradition to seek Karuppasami’s permission before conducting any temple festival.

During these festivals, people dress up as Karuppasami, sacrifice chickens, goats, etc.,

and mix the blood with rice, which is then sprinkled along the borders of the village.

This practice has been followed for ma ny centuries and is

believed to protect the village from evil forces and spirits.

Twenty years ago, during a temple festival in a village near Seyyaru,

the blood mixed with the rice was found to contain traces of human blood.

Since then, for the past twenty years, the temple festival has not been held.

Though the villagers remained happy and prosperous,

they continued to long for the return of their beloved temple festival.

Every year, the people of the village seek Karuppasami’s permission to conduct the festival.

Will the god grant his permission this year?

Come, let’s see!

Oh Goddess!

Oh Mother, Angala Parameswari!

Om Kaali!

Badhrakaali!

Om Kaali! (Chanting)

Om!

Om!!

Oh Mother, save this village from all the evil spirits.

Oh Mother, Angala Parameswari!

Oh Mother, Angala Parameswari.

You have made our people wait for twenty years.

Is this fair?

Are you still holding a grudge against us?

Oh Goddess, please grant us permission to conduct the festival this year.

Oh Mother.

What penance should we perform to appease your anger?

We will do whatever it is to make this right.

We are waiting for your words, saami.

(Breathing heavily)

Maari!

Kaali!

Sooli!

You are performing the festival this year.

We are very happy.

Our Goddess has granted the permission.

Oh Mother!

Angala Parameswari!

I am on cloud nine.

The whole village is going to be clean.

Good spirits have come back to this village.

May everything unfold favourably.

Let the festival works begin.

The deity has given her commands.

Let the festivals begin.

Selvam?

Father?

Be ready for the festival.

This is what I've been waiting for a long time.

Oh sage, We are very happy.

We're heading out.

Go, setup everything perfectly

Go.

The entire village is going to shine.

Hey, stop the Tractor.

Lad, get off here.

We've still not reach yet.

Get out, bloody..

Brother, what's wrong?

Get out soon.

Otherwise, I'll start cursing you worse.

Get down now if you want to live.

Otherwise, I'll run your body over with a tractor.

Get out!

Let's go.

Giving ride to useless people.

Hey Don't come inside the village

I was born and grew up in this soil.

I left this village 14 years ago.

I have come back to fulfill my father's last wish.

Everything has changed.

But these people still remain the same.

When I was young,

Me, my mom, my sister,

You tramp.

Someone who's not even fit to touch the water that I using for washing,

How dare you touch my drinking water.

You piece of shit.

You miserable being, get out of here.

Get out of here.

Mom, if you had given me the water you poured on your head,

At least my thirst would have been quenched.

My kids are very hungry.

Please give us something to eat.

I will wash all the vessels in your shop.

Who do you think will eat in those plates if you touch them?

Get out of here before someone sees you.

Go!

Poongodhai, I saw you asking for a job at the restaurant.

The kids will be hungry, right?

Let the kids eat.

Take it.

Don't shy away, Poongodhai.

I feel sorry for the kids.

I don't understand. What happened?

No one is talking with me.

Not playing with me.

I won't eat, if you don't.

What will you eat?

We'll share and eat.

That's enough for me. You eat.

Enough.

You'll always care for brother more than me.

Keep eating.

Shut your mouth.

Don't fight while eating.

Mom.

I don't want to study in this school.

Why, what happened?

Everyone who studied with me in the 8th grade,

Will study in the Paapanthaangal school.

I'll go through the same shit if I study there.

There's another school in the nearby village,

I'll join there.

What will happen then?

Nobody there knows who I am.

They won't know me.

I'll be able to study well there.

Okay, your wish.

Don't get into any trouble, study well.

Oh, Angala Parameswari.

Look after my children.

Move, I'm late.

Mom, look at this.

That's enough.

Karthi, Hold this.

Make change and give your sister one rupee.

Mom, this itself is loose change.

How can I split this?

Karthi, learn the value of money.

Okay, Mom.

Bro, It's the first day.

Hoping to see cute girls from around.

Don't you have any other work?

Why?

Don't you guys have eyes.

You've proved that you're one of us.

Why did you do this?

Hey man, Puppy love?

Nothing like that.

Hey, Yazhini. Stop.

I don't feel like talking to you.

Hey, I need to talk to you.

You idiot.

Can't you hear me yelling?

Don't make me run.

Who are you?

What? You said I was yours.

You don't know me now?

Did you tell me before joining here?

Huh? Tell me.

Did you tell me before joining here?

Hey, it's not that I shouldn't tell you.

I was worried if you had joined some other school.

Why don't you reply now?

You joined here without telling me, right?

Don't follow me. Just Go.

Go.

It's not that I shouldn't tell you.

It was at the last moment I took this decision.

Don't try to lie you way out. Leave.

Hey, when have I lied to my Yazhini?

Just leave.

-Yazhini, don't leave now. - Leave me. Go.

-Be careful. Look. -Don't let go.

Bro, we're going to do a show for the cultural.

Shall we do a rehearsal?

For what?

There used to be a festival in the nearby village.

They'll put up a show, eat food(raththa soru) and follow their perform for the God.

My mom used to say that a lot.

What are you going to do?

That's why we are getting Ramu ready.

To get the presence of god.

Ashok, don't play in the matters of god.

Don't do this.

If we should not play, At least the God should play.

He isn't playing, right?

Tell him to come play, I'll agree then.

Apply that well.

Here. here.

Hey.

Yeah bro?

We've been ready for half an hour.

I don't see anything godly.

That's why you need to be sincere in this.

They've kidding about all these godly things.

I'm sure this is going to end up badly.

You don't know about him.

Don't keep blabbering something.

Trying to scare us.

Hey bro. What happened?

- Hey, what? -It's okay. It's okay.

I feel very scared.

Why is Karthi getting possessed now?

Nobody listened to me.

Look at me.

- Hey its nothing. - Karthi, it's okay.

Can you see me now?

- Karthi what's happening? - You wanna see more?

- Look - Karthi, look at me.

- Look at me now. - Karthi, stay cool.

Hey, Karthi, Karthi.

- Bro, Bro. - Hey, look at me.

I'm shit scared now.

Why is he doing all this?

Hey, we just did it for fun.

Why are you getting serious?

We were just having fun.

There's nothing in this.

Ask what happened to him.

He's just playing with us.

It's alright.

Are you okay now?

How dare he step into this village ?

Brother, he has come back again.

You used to be very healthy and chubby as a child.

Diabetes has changed you a lot.

Eat well.

Keep eating, you insolent idiot.

What's wrong with you? What happened?

What is making you so angry?

The damn imbecile has come back into the village.

He is just filling his stomach. Useless.

Give him a tablet to control his BP.

I know how to handle that imbecile.

I'm not a kid anymore.

My Yazhini used to wait for me,

in this bus stop.

Why is the bus so late?

Hey Karthi, get down.

Why?

Why this stop?

-Get Down, Let them see. -Someone might see us.

Come, Come.

Come soon.

What is she thinking?

Give me your bag.

Hey, Why do want me to get down before my stop?

Take a seat, moron.

Come, be careful.

Pavithra

Yes sir.

Yazhini

Yes sir.

Yogeshwari.

Yes sir.

Hey bro?

What?

I think there's no school tomorrow.

There's no leave tomorrow. Be quiet.

-What the hell? -Are we supposed to come tomorrow also?

Yeah bro.

The scholarship forms for SC/ST students have arrived.

All those students stand up.

What's with this guy.

Why is he standing?

He is our guy. Why is he standing ?

You should either take it or sit down.

Why are you zoned out?

Sit.

These people.

He started

Thanks

It's okay.

So, there's no SC/ST in this class?

Sir, there's no one of that category here.

Hmm. Here.

Hey Karthi. You know how difficult it is for me to earn, right?

Think about sufferings and read well.

We should bring this up in the teacher's meeting.

Please come in sir.

Hey Karthi, Come in.

Are you playing hide and seek? Come in.

Sir, I need to tell you something.

What's the matter?

Sir, about the scholarship..

You got the circular in the classroom, right?

Yes sir, but

Then what?

I need to apply.

Couldn't you have applied for it in the classroom?

If I did that, everyone would have known who I was.

Hey, Put your hands down.

Put your hands down.

Sir?

People like Periyar, Ambedhkar and Jyotirao Phule fought for the rights of your people.

Why are you shying away from using Government's scholarship?

Your aim should be to use this and turn out well.

The more you go down, the more they'll stamp on you.

So many people have reached higher places.

Why do you people still think that you don't have a chance?

You should be educated and stand straight in front of everyone,

who separates people on the basis of caste.

You must rise up.

Getting you the scholarship is my duty.

You concentrate only on studying. Okay?

Thank you very much sir.

Show that in your academics.

Thank you sir.

Where did Karthi go?

Hey, I thought you had gone home after school.

Where did you go?

I had gone to drink water.

It's my niece's naming ceremony tomorrow.

There's a function at KV Mahal at night.

Everyone must be there on time.

-Definitely bro. -Sure bro.

Mom, everything is ready right?

Everything is ready. We can begin.

Hey bro, Karthi's here.

Hey. Bro.

Come on. Why are you shying away.

This is our function.

Come.

Mom, this is my friend Karthi.

Oh, Come in.

Ashok always talks about you.

Tell you friend to come and see the baby.

Bro. Go see the baby and tell the name.

The name is Malini.

He is my brother's Friend

Tell her, go tell her in the ear

Dear, He is the brilliant student in the class

Malini. Malini. Malini.

Among everyone who said her name, his voice was the cutest

Where are you from?

(stammering)

Pudhupakkam uncle

If pudhupakkam means, Are you krishna vathiyar son ?

No.

No.

Then who's your father?

Dad, come on. Leave him alone.

- Come in Chettiar - Please come in

Where are you going? Huh?

I'm just leaving.

Hey, who'll give me company if you leave?

I'll get caught if I give you company.

Hey, Just come with me.

Hey, just a glance and she steals your heart. With her eyes, she holds a concert.

She spreads the scent of fresh flowers. She’s up to something totally new.

Like a breeze, she brushes past, Stirring something deep inside.

Is she a festival in my heart? She lights it up with color.

She comes closer, close And sets a fire within me.

She’s done something magical, Showing me a brand-new story.

Hey, just a glance and she steals your heart. With her eyes, she holds a concert.

She spreads the scent of fresh flowers. She’s up to something totally new.

All the local Romeos come by, Whispering names into her ears

Friends and family all come by, Whispering in her ears—

Just to praise her Yes, just to praise her, Oh yes, just to praise her.

She sways like a palm in the breeze, Sparkling with sweet charm.

She casts a teasing net— And I’m the poor soul caught in it.

Feels like a crab’s caught my soul— And I’m left longing, drifting away.

She stabs my heart and twists it, Oh, what is this hold she has on me?

Feels like a crab’s caught my soul— And I’m left longing, drifting away.

Hey, just a glance and she steals your heart. With her eyes, she holds a concert.

She spreads the scent of fresh flowers. She’s up to something totally new.

Hey, just a wink melts my heart, Her glance breaks me apart.

Why is she teasing me so? With just one look.

When I see you, my teeth chatter, But inside, my heart races.

I try to act cool a little— It’s all because of you.

No one else Makes me feel this way like you do.

This craziness has caught me now— I just don’t understand why.

Hey, just a glance and she steals your heart. With her eyes, she holds a concert.

She spreads the scent of fresh flowers. She’s up to something totally new.

Hey, I smell something good from your tiffin box.

- Today's my birthday, So - Birthday?

Mom made milk puddings.

Hey, Happy Birthday bro.

(Everyone wishes him)

Thanks bro. Thanks.

Hey, Happy birthday.

You made me say like one of the crowd.

Why didn't you tell me earlier.

You're the one who always used to wish me first and give me gifts.

You forgot. What am I supposed to do?

I'm the one who should get angry.

Sorry.

Bro, I just can't keep watching. Open the box now.

Let's eat at the interval.

Did we come here for a movie?

We can't wait that long. Open the box.

Hey, hey, hey. It's there for everyone.

My hand got stuck. wait.

Don't turn the pudding into juice.

Leave some for Yazhini too.

Look at them fight for this.

This tastes so good.

You eat at home.

There's nothing at home.

What's this?

- Everyone sit down. - Good morning sir.

Hey Karthi.

Sir?

You got your SC quota Scholarship.

Sign and collect it from the office.

Okay?

What the hell?

Shit.

Is he not one of us?

What a shame.

It's a shame to our people.

Hey, leave him alone.

Ram, Listen to me.

Why are you bringing caste inside class ?

Ram, Listen to me.

I let him call my niece's name.

My father will kill me if he knows this.

Even my god won't forgive me touching you.

Hey, Yazhini.

Let me see how long you can save him,

Get lost.

Let's go.

If Yazhini hadn't stopped us, we would have killed him right there.

I would have separated his head from his body.

Both are same.

Give it to me.

Bro, I wouldn't have cared if he had hid anything else.

He hid his caste and acted as if he was one of us.

I just feel like..

He made us so furious.

He should never be forgiven.

What are you going to do?

His entire family should feel bad for what he did.

We'll punish him in such a way.

I want to break his head like this bottle.

Let's go.

- Good morning teacher. - Good morning. Sit down.

Everyone sit

He's studying outside by the street lamp, unable to bare your irritation.

Finish him off.

How dare you score more than me.

Die, you pig.

You need a book to read, right?

Hey, my book!

You need to hands to write exam, right?

You want the girl from our caste?

Die, you pig.

It's because you hid your caste and came to my home.

That's the biggest mistake that you made.

You know what's worse than that?

Getting more marks than us.

You will read.

But you won't write the exam with these hands.

This is your number. Sit down.

Be careful.

How will he write with these hands?

I'll handle you.

Hey, we've reached the exam hall.

Sir, sir?

Sir, how was your journey from being a citizen of an lower caste to the state topper?

Don't use lower, use oppressed.

I've written because of that pain.

It's because of so many people.

When everyone told me that I could not write my exams,

My friend encouraged me to write the exams.

I should thank her for believing in me.

Who is she?

The reason I became the state topper is,

My Yazhini.

Congrats to you and Yazhini.

Thanks a lot.

It's me who should thank you.

You've introduced me to the entire Tamil Nadu.

It's because of you that I'm known to all of them.

No, I didn't expect this.

I knew you'd be school first.

But I never knew you'd be state first.

I wasn't even sure if I’d write the exam.

Okay..

I've come state first.

So?

Is there no gift for me?

I'm your gift.

Shall I take you?

Get lost.

Hey wait. Let me take you.

You son of a bitch.

What is the pig doing in the cow farm?

You shouldn't be let alive.

You'll take the entire people to your side.

You can't even afford to eat two meals,

You want my daughter?

- You beggar. - Dad, let him go.

Break her leg, first.

Don't let him stay alive

- Take her away from here. - Uncle, tell them not to do anything.

Die, you pig.

You wanna roam around, instead of studying?

- Brother, break every bone in his body. - Please dad.

- He is innocent, dad. - He's done for. Come home.

Uncle, please let him go.

We won't even let you sit next to our kids in school.

And you want my daughter?

Karthi!

Karthi!

Where are you?

Karthi!

Oh no! Karthi!

Karthi!

Who did this to you?

Karthi!

Someone please come help my son.

Someone.. Please come.

Karthi, Look at me.

It's your mom. I won't let you go.

Karthik u will be alright

Doctor, Doctor.

Oh my god. My son.

Save my son by all means necessary.

Don't cry, Poongodhai.

my son...

- Be brave. I'll take care. - Oh no. My son.

will he be alright ?

Poongodhai.

He's completely safe. Don't be afraid.

You can go see your son.

Thank you, Jesus.

I can't see him like this anymore.

This village does not deserve him, sister.

Let's send him to some foreign country.

They broke my bone and soul.

I was saved by my mom and Sister Mary.

They are the reason that I am alive.

Sister Mary sent me away 14 years ago.

I'm back here after so many years.

Move away.

This guy?

Why did you come here?

My Father's name is Radhakrishnan.

My mother's name is Poongodhai.

Don't you know why I've come here?

Hey..

Those bastards are not a part of this village.

Neither are you.

I have a connection to this place.

What is it?

To fulfill my father's wish.

What is this new story of a wish?

I need to perform in the upcoming festival.

We won't even let you see.

You think we'll let you watch?

I'll just...

I won't let go off my rights for anyone.

I will perform.

I'm not sure if you know about this village.

I know it's not good for you to stay here.

I know what's good and bad.

I need to perform.

I will fulfill my father's wish.

It's better for you, if you make the right decision.

Or else what ?

You won't do a thing.

I shouldn't have let you speak this much.

You want me to make a decision?

I should behead you right here.

After I perform and follow the traditions,

I won't even care if I have a head.

Look, it's your last warning,

You won't be standing anymore.

Run away while you can.

Just run.

I'm not going anywhere. I'll be here for a week.

- Do what you can. - What did you say?

Die, you pig.

How dare you talk back.

Dad, finish him off.

The entire village is against you.

Get out of here before sunrise.

At least, you'll live.

If you still plan on staying here,

You won't be alive to talk.

I don't care if I die while I fulfill my father's wish.

I won't leave until I perform.

I'm sure about one thing.

In the upcoming festival,

We'll see if it's your head that rolls or mine.

It's all in the hands of god.

The God is on my side.

Please don't.

Please, let me go.

Lakshmi.

Oh god.

What is it? What happened?

He cut my head. I'm headless.

There's nothing wrong. You still have your head.

It's okay. It's okay.

Leave. Leave.

He screams and I get screamed.

Karthi.

Why are you avoiding me?

Yazhini?

Yes.

Why are you looking at me like that?

This is me.

You didn't get what you want.

And neither did I.

Thinking that It's good for me,

My dad married me off to a slob from our same caste.

He drank his way to death.

I lost my life because of him.

I don't want to trouble you with my burden, Karthi.

Okay, let's leave that.

How are you?

ok. I will leave

Do you know ? your father used to ride a bullet like a lion

It's a unique beauty to look at...

Dad's death is not your loss alone

He worked in our mill for 15 years.

It's a great loss for us too.

Don't be depressed that Dad's dead and there's no one to take care of you.

You should take care of yourself from now on.

You can join our mill whenever you want.

Ganesh.

Sir.

take it .

Please don't leave me.

Dad. Dad. I need you dad.

Don't leave me alone, dad.

Look at him and his attitude.

Hey, Where did you go?

Tell me. It's your dad asking.

Radhakrishna. Stop.

Can't you hear me?

Hey, stop and reply to him.

What's his problem?

Hey, go talk to him.

There's nothing to talk.

Do you know where your son has been?

It's only because of your pampering.

He mingling with everyone, not knowing our culture.

Uncle might get offended by what you say.

Let him be. Why should we interfere?

Mom, there's nothing wrong with what dad's saying.

He's a bit overboard.

Uncle, you sent your son out of town for education, right?

That's why he doesn't know about our village.

Why does everyone keep saying I did something wrong.

He should learn to be more respectful.

Hey, Whatever your uncle said, was right.

You always have to be there when anything good or bad happens in the colony.

Shouldn't I go?

You should not.

We are not the same as them.

Everyone are equal to me.

Look at his attitude. He is taking a wrong path.

Oh no.

Why are you shy? come in.

Just come inside.

Kamatchi, come here.

On my way, boss.

What is it, boss?

Poongodhai will work in our mill from now on.

Teach her everything.

Excuse me, the boss told me to help you with your work.

Tell me what I should do.

Hey, your father worked as a watchman here.

He's never been let inside the gate.

You are having the audacity to stand next to me a talk.

The boss might not know the difference between a cow and a pig.

Don't you know where to stand?

If I hear you say my name again,

I'll spit right on your face. Get lost.

Who does she think she is?

Where is Poongodhai?

Kamatchi, where is Poongodhai?

I have no idea, boss.

She hasn't come here for 2 days.

What happened to her?

Come in

I've brought you food.

Is it congee or porridge?

It's porridge.

Boss.

What are you serving you dad, Poongodhai?

Porridge and salted fish.

What? Porridge and salted fish?

It'll taste so good. Give me some.

Is it really that great, boss?

I can't keep eating the same food.

Let me try something new.

Stop talking and give me that.

How long should I talk to get this?

Dad, Boss has taken your food.

The Boss never lets anyone starve.

Sir, food?

- Give it to them. - He's eating your food. Hope nothing happens.

Dad?

It smells so great. Can't wait to begin.

The boss told me to give you the food.

See, I told you.

Look at our boss eating your food like he's never seen food before.

Dad, what's all this?

Woah, look at all this.

The entire fish family is in here.

Smells so great.

Dad, It's just as you said.

They've put the entire animal kingdom in one carrier.

Be careful when you chew the bone.

Everything in the platter tastes so good.

Don't keep any leftovers.

I'm full.

- Dad, just one more piece. - that's it for me. I'll go wash.

Enough. Enough.

- I have no idea how to eat this. - What is she doing?

It's like she's playing the flute on it.

Come on. Come on.

What's she doing?

What's she doing with the stick?

- I'll somehow eat this. - The bone's going to go to the dog.

What's this?

- Don't you know how to eat it? - Was he watching the whole time?

Have you never eaten this before?

Let me teach you.

Place this smoothly right between your tongue and your teeth.

Okay?

And suck on it slowly. It'll go right to your throat.

Really?

Shall I demonstrate?

It has my saliva on it.

That's it.

Wow.

Shall I take it or not?

Let's take it.

I've come all this way.

Won't you invite me inside?

Why didn't you come to work?

Come on. Give me an answer.

Forgive me boss. I can't come to work.

Why?

Please don't ask for the reasons.

I know what happened and what your problem is.

Don't mind them. They'll never learn.

Are you taking it?

Or shall I take it with me?

Didn't like it, it seems.

See, I did it just like you said.

Everyone's watching. Leave my hand.

go

Listen to me and sit in my chair.

Come.

Boss, leave my hand.

Sit down.

Please, No.

Just sit down.

Sit.

Everyone listen carefully.

She will issue the salary from now on.

You should stand in queue to get your salary from her.

Kamatchi, Come here.

Come, get your salary.

Muniyamma.

Do you want your salary?

Don't worry. I'm here for you.

Oh no. It's the owner.

Let him come. I'll take care.

Don't be afraid. Sit down.

How dare she? Throw her out.

Uncle, Stop. Listen to me.

Hey, Get out.

- Not your uncle.. - Listen to me. Let me talk.

Who do you think you are to sit here?

Bloody beggar. Get out.

Take your hands off her.

Get lost.

- You bitch. - Dad, Dad, Don't hurt brother.

You piece of shit.

You're the reason for all this.

Die.

Don't you know you're place?

If you lay your hands on her anymore, I won't even consider you my dad.

Oh goddess, please save us.

Hey.

Radhakrishna?

Everyone listen.

From this moment, She is my wife.

She will sit in my chair.

- How dare you marry her and bring her here? - You useless piece of shit.

Get out.

No one will sit on this chair.

You are no more a part of this family.

Poongodhai!

Poongodhai!

Poongodhai!

Yeah?

Your husband angrily marched out there to perform in the festival.

Why won't he ever listen?

Wait, I'll come.

Come.

Come Fast.

The performance must be great.

Look and learn.

You're up next.

Okay, dad.

Look at how you're father is putting on the make up.

This is very important. Don't be lethargic.

Stop everything.

How dare you come here.

Huh?

Why do keep doing this every year?

The performance has been postponed for 3 years because of your actions.

At least let us do it this year.

You've lost all your privileges when you married the low caste tramp.

Get out of here.

Listen to me.

I won't leave without dressing up for the festival.

Do whatever you want.

Throw this caste-less man out of here.

Don't do this, uncle.

We have no relationship.

Don't let him go. Bash him.

- Don't do this. - Get out.

Selvam, don't. Run away.

Run away, Selvam.

Rot in hell.

You separated me from my father.

and you call yourself my uncle?

I won't let you go alive.

Please no. I'm your uncle.

Please leave me alive. You do the performance.

You are not even fit to be human.

Dad, dad, You're okay, right?

I see your true colour now.

This is the only way that I can perform.

Dad.

She's here.

- Look over there. - Come, Let's go.

Poongodhai.

Poongodhai.

My dear. What's happening?

My dear. Why did this to you?

Oh God. Please save my husband.

My dear. My dear.

- Karthi, look at your dad. - Karthi..

My dear.

Who did this to you?

Poongodhai.

Your dad left you.

No. No. Please don't leave me.

I'm afraid that I might also leave you.

No. No. Please don't leave me.

Karthi.

Both of us will get abandoned.

Only I was there for you before.

Now we have two children.

They will do everything for you, that I couldn't do.

Oh God.

Karthi.

All this happened to you because of me.

Karthi.

Please don't leave me.

Take care of mom.

Why did you do this to my husband?

It was my last wish to perform.

You should dress up and perform after me.

Live in such a way that the entire village looks up to you.

Please don't abandon me. I'm pregnant.

This village has been cruel to us.

I can't handle this alone.

Promise me that you will fulfill dad's last wish.

Poongodhai, educate the kids well.

Education will save them.

My dear!

Dad,

Everyone in the village started spreading rumours that you were killed by an act of god.

The entire village stood against us after you were gone.

Me, Mom and my sister had to beg for food and water.

This village did not let us live.

I have no idea how I'm going to fulfill your last wish against the entire village.

Please be with me dad. I'm afraid.

Karthi.

Sister.

How are you here?

Sister, tell him to leave now.

Whom?

The checked shirt guy standing over there.

Why should I send him away?

Sister, I know you'll act as if you don't know anything.

If he's still here for the festival, It'll only cause more troubles.

It won't look good for you too. Just saying.

Hey, Don't think that the Sister will save you like she did before.

Karthi, Why are you still standing here?

Go inside.

Sister, the entire village has a lot of respect for you.

But please don't get involved in his problems.

Tell me, Sister. What was so urgent?

Until the Festival is over, Karthi will be here.

Another important thing.

Do tell.

Because of the people of this village, his life is at risk.

You should look after him.

Anything for you, Sister.

Everyone listen.

My hands are tied after what Sister said.

It's better you all leave.

Everyone leave right now. Leave.

Son?

Don't teach us what's right and wrong.

Teach it to him.

You know about this village.

We'll be kind in the beginning.

and then, It'll go out of hands.

Touch me. Let me see you try.

You killed my father and lied about his death.

I'm not gonna let you live for long.

Trying laying your hands on him.

You think you can kill my father and stay alive?

Let me see you try.

Not just your dad, I'll kill you too.

Karthi.

Be patient, Karthi.

Be silent. I'll take care.

See, Sister.

Karthi is not safe here.

I'll take care of him.

Let's go Karthi.

Come on. Let's go.

Inspector?

Don't let him come to our village till the end of our festival.

That's for his well being.

I'll be back, Sister.

Let's go.

Don't mind them.

So, Karthi.

- Have you come here to start a riot or something? - Nothing like that, sir.

Come inside.

Sir, Why did you push me inside the cell now?

Give me an answer. Where are you going?

Sir.

I'm telling this for your own good.

This is the safest place for you now.

Kumaresa.

Sir, the festival is nearing. Let me out.

What case is this?

Drunk and Drive, sir.

What's the problem at cheyyar bus stand?

Why are you not on your duty?

Huh?

Come in, Sister.

Where's Karthi?

Karthi is safe and sound, inside.

Firstly, Release him.

Sister, this is the safest place for him now.

Are you releasing him or not?

Hey, Perumal.

Inspector?

I can't control the village anymore.

Throw him out of the village, immediately.

Please be calm. You're the village head.

Be patient. We can talk this over.

There's no more patience left within us.

Tell him to leave the village.

Hello, Inspector.

Shall I demolish the entire station in 5 minutes?

Sister?

Sister?

Are you okay, Sister?

Hey, who threw the stone?

Answer me.

I'll jail you all for 6 years.

Look what happened to the sister because of you.

If you stay here any longer, It's not safe for anyone.

Sister?

If I stay here any longer,

They'll only keep causing troubles.

It's better that I leave.

No, Karthi.

You must perform.

Don't leave.

- No, I'm Leaving. - I'll take care of everything.

Karthi, One minute.

Everyone is angry at you.

I'll drop you at the village border.

Come.

Leave. Leave.

Karthi.

We've reached the border.

Are you getting down here or?

Should I drop you off at your house in your village?

You're Ashok from the government school, right?

How did you know that I was Ashok?

If someone as illiterate as you has the guts.

I'm the state topper. what do you think?

The biggest mistake I ever made was, breaking your hand when you were in 10th grade.

Shouldn't have broken your hands.

I should have killed you.

If I had done that,

you wouldn't be standing here wanting to perform and fulfill your father's wish.

Why does a useless man like you, need a government jeep and police protection?

I was your only enemy then.

Now, the entire village is your enemy.

Just run away.

That's the best thing you can do.

I'll go for now.

But I'll be back.

I'll serve the blood rice to everyone.

I'll be the one to perform.

Do whatever the hell you can.

Sister, no one has come yet.

It's almost time.

They're on their way. Wait.

Oh.

They are making us wait for a long time.

Let's see.

Even the MLA and the AC are here, what are we waiting for?

We can start the procedures, right?

It's written on the banner.

Why don't you read it?

Yeah, but who is that?

That's fine, but.

What's the Sister doing in a Hindu temple?

You're from out of town., right?

Other than this temple, the Hospital, the Church and every other institution was built by her.

The Sister played a big role in developing this temple.

That's why the entire village respects her.

This guy?

Why is he still alive?

Please come.

You're the village head.

Please take this woman to start the procedures.

What are you saying?

She should not touch our godly things.

Why? What will happen?

Sister.

Our Villagers respect you a lot.

Please don't ruin that.

You made us wait in suspense to bring the person to start the procedures.

Is this your suspense?

Sister, we have so many VIPs to do the procedures.

It was mistake believing in you.

You've cheated us, Sister.

What is everyone staring at?

Throw these people out of here.

- Bash them up. - Wait.

Yes.

Yes, chase them away. But before that.

Has anyone here ever done something for village other than for selfish reasons?

I'll chase them away.

Not even a single person raised their hand.

All of them are selfish.

You keep proudly chanting about your village, right?

Now do you see what any of you have done for the village?

But he has done a lot.

Do you remember when kids used to walk 10 kilometers to go to school?

Only if you had let them study, right?

But now, there's a school right here.

Do you know how it got here?

He built it.

Do you remember how many people have died from simple diseases before we could even get the to the hospital?

Now, there's this huge hospital right here.

Who built it?

The same person.

From constables to collectors, that this village generated, was educated because of his trust.

But everyone thinks that it's mine.

Why didn't you reveal this before?

I told her not to.

Instead of claiming that it was us,

We wanted to be a normal family who could fulfill his father's wish.

But you made me say all this.

Who cares about what you told.

If we had known this before, we wouldn't have accepted any of the help.

What do you say?

(Everyone) Yes

Brother, come let's leave.

Let's go.

All they care about is making us feel bad and insecure.

What did my son do?

Is it wrong to do good for one's own land?

He just wanted to fulfill his father's final wish.

You couldn't handle that?

The entire crowd is treating him like a criminal.

I'm not able to see you get ashamed like this.

We'll leave.

We're are leaving, Sister.

They won't change even if it takes a hundred years.

After all this, I don't think even my father would want his wish fulfilled.

We're leaving, sister.

Get out of here.

You think you have the right to enter our temple?

Uncle.

Huh?

Uncle.

I was born without legs.

Everyone used to tease me with my disability.

No one even knows my name.

But now everyone has started calling me by my name.

The reason for that, is the prosthetic surgery that you funded.

I'm the State level champion in athletics now.

Even you know that, uncle.

You're the sole reason for that.

I've stopped feeling disabled these days.

Maybe this village doesn't know your worth.

But I very well know your worth.

Why should you leave? This is your land.

Uncle.

You know that I've had a hole in my heart right from birth.

You sent me to Australia and arranged me a heart transplant.

Instead of living with these heartless people ,let us also come with you.

Please uncle.

It is for the good of the village that we conduct a festival.

But he has done the works of the God.

They are our god

(People praising Karthi)

It is Vettaiyadu Karuppasamy himself

Who comes charging like a tiger

To destroy enemies and settle old scores

He arrives transformed like the god of death

With the sound of slashes ringing And the rhythm of songs rising

The dark one who guards the town is arriving

The ancient Tamil drum beats loud Strike, let the blood boil

He comes like a feast of blood

It is Karuppasamy, the fierce hunter, Charging forth like a raging tiger,

He comes to end all enmity, Transformed into death itself, he rises.

He rules both the sky and the earth, There’s nothing beyond his sight.

No caste, no creed, no lesser worth— To him, all are equal in right.

We are all children of Karuppan.

We are all part of Karuppan’s great design, A plan no one on earth can truly define.

The game you dance through, step by step, He’ll finish in ways you’d never expect.

Watch him come, sickle in hand, Marching forth to settle sin’s demand—

He collects the wages of guilt and wrong, A force of justice, fierce and strong.

He is Karuppasamy, the hunter divine, Charging forth like a furious feline.

To vanquish foes and right old wrongs, He comes transformed — where death belongs.

You say his touch defiles? Think again. He’ll burn your twisted words in flame.

Enough of your ancient, hollow pride— He’ll crush the ego you try to hide.

Our elder, our ancestor, This is the clan of mighty Karuppan—step back!

To calm his seething wrath, You’ll need a hundred homes to burn to ash.

Watch him come, sickle in hand, Marching forth to settle sin’s demand—

He collects the wages of guilt and wrong, A force of justice, fierce and strong.

It’s the hunting Karuppasamy himself, Charging in like a roaring tiger.

To destroy his enemies and settle old scores, He’s coming transformed into Death itself.

Karthi.

Hey, Touch me now.

Selvam, Don't let him go.

Leave my kid alone.

Please don't hurt him.

You want me, right?

Come. Come on.

Ashok, save Selvam.

I'll take care of her.

See what I'm going to do to him.

You bloody..

I'm not able to kill you because you're in God's form now.

But if I don't kill you now, You'll continue this every year.

You must die.

If you really care for her,

Become a God.

Don't you understand?

Die, you pig.

Karthi. Don't let him go. Kill him.

Kill him, Karthi.

Let me live.

Just let me go.

Let me go.

I should have killed you, like I killed you father.

You're also coming to abroad with us.

Okay, aunty.

You really are a smart person.

You fulfilled your wish as well as your father's.

Karthi, get my daughter-in-law a Visa.

Why go to a foreign country?

Let's stay here. This is our father's land.
