Original subtitles

In Tamil Nadu, Nelaiappar and Thiruvarur chariot festivals...

...are famous for their chariots used in their processions.

But this Veerapandi Chariot is famous because it's stationary.

The two groups standing here are the main contributors.

Let's see if they pull the chariot this year.

Sir, no problem. Just a tin sheet, it fell due to the wind.

Just a tin sheet?

If it had fallen on your head, you would've known.

Thangavelu, have you tightened the security?

We've arrested 100 men including the chairman's nephew.

So our chariot will finally move this year.

They won't do it.

These arrests and warnings are only for our satisfaction.

They'll continue to do whatever they want to their satisfaction.

Are you never positive?

I've told our higher-ups that we'll do it this year.

Ensure there's no problem. -Not possible, sir.

I can do something only if a problem arises.

Is this how a police officer talks?

Talk according to your stature. -Sorry, sir.

Why is there such a huge crowd?

Did you bribe them with briyani packets?

Half of them are from out-of-town.

They've come to watch the fun if a problem arises.

It's like watching a circus for them.

Audience?

He's the new Collector.

The old Collector is admitted at the hospital for chest pain.

We'll get the new Collector admitted today.

After prayer, sacred water will be offered.

But here, you're serving tea. -They are brutes.

I can see that.

They'll keep quiet in the beginning.

But when they pull the chariot, they will raise hell.

Have both the groups assembled? -Yes, sir.

The one on this side is Chairman Sevapandian.

He has held the post for past 20 years.

Nothing happens here without his knowledge.

His men are the majority here.

The gentleman standing over there is Mahesh Babu.

His father's was Kothandam. He contested in the elections...

...for 20 years and lost. He died due to dejection.

He is in a frenzy to achieve what his father couldn't.

Let's see. -Come on, sir.

Stop making noise, allow the officer to talk.

Greetings to all of you. -Greetings, sir.

Why are they greeting me in a chorus like schoolkids?

And you say they are barbaric. -This is how they'll begin.

The temple, festival and chariot are common for everyone.

You've been fighting for years and did not move the chariot.

We don't even know if this chariot will move.

So this year, don't fight. Pull the chariot in unity.

Today this temple might be common to everyone,...

...but this temple was built by my ancestors.

We should be given the honours to pull the chariot.

Quiet!

They might have built the temple, but the land belongs to us.

We also own the 18 villages surrounding this area.

At one time, my family ruled this land.

It is our tradition to honour the family that ruled the land.

I'm not willing to give up our tradition at any cost.

Did you rule at a stretch? We ruled too.

We ruled as much as you did. -You think you did a good job?

Don't make me yell at you!

Stop it! -I don't want any flashback!

If your ancestors built the temple in their ancestral land,...

...what does it mean? -They had no land to build...

...the temple! -Who asked you to talk?

It means they lived peacefully. You're the ones fighting.

We can't give up our rights for anyone.

You're enjoying the rights we relinquished.

Why are you wasting time talking to them?

Don't talk, let's dance then.

Just say so, I'll chop them to pieces.

Cut your hair first.

Quiet, allow sir to speak. -Listen to me!

Just keep quiet, rubbish! -What is wrong with you, sir?

They started this and you're yelling at us.

Are you their stooge? -I'm not on anyone's side

He's being disrespectful. Tell him who I am.

He's the Collector, pull your dhoti down.

I knew when you came with a pink shirt that you're one of them.

How do they identify the clan with the shirt?

They will even say with your underwear.

They can't do that with me, I don't wear one.

I use boxers. They're not brutes, they are eccentric.

Now I know why the old Collector fell sick.

Either agree or disperse.

I'll pull the chariot with the help of cops.

I thought he'll move the chariot, but he's dragging us in.

Watch me now!

You'd better leave! Or the Collector will head...

...the function and we'll pull the chariot.

Good! They started it.

You can go in now, let's go.

Move! Sir, go back carefully!

Constables, don't let them go! Hit them!

I'll talk to you later. -Usilai, uncle is coming.

Stop crying and tell me what happened.

When did your girl go missing? -She went to school...

...yesterday morning. She hasn't come back.

Must be love.

She was seen with Narasimhan's son yesterday.

My daughter is very young, she is innocent.

That boy must have brainwashed and taken her away.

I never imagined my daughter would do this.

Would any father think his daughter would elope?

I'm only consoling him. -You should get your girls...

...married at the right age and not send them to school.

I was planning to get her married after her 12th grade this year.

We've sent our men. They'll find her soon.

Hello! Okay, I'll inform him. Sir, that was the head constable.

The girl and boy are in the police station.

Let's get them. -It has gone to the DSP's ears.

The old officer was okay, the new officer won't budge.

Nothing can be done?

Take off your uniform and use dhoti from tomorrow.

Don't laugh, he's taking a dig at us.

Go to the police station first. -What can I do alone?

I'll send Anbu. If he's there, it's as good as me coming.

When the constable said he can't do anything, I called Anbu.

He said he'll go to the police station.

Even when I scold you, your father will get upset.

You brought him to the police station.

Is that boy more important to you than us?

Listen, that boy lured you just to disgrace our family.

Please go home without humiliating your parents.

Whatever it is, we'll talk at home.

I won't come, I'll go only with him.

That girl is stubborn.

She's not listening to her parents.

This DSP is annoying us with his rules and regulations.

That boy is arrogant too. -Really? I'll handle it.

Please listen to me, Selvi. Come back home with us.

Look what happened. -Okay, stop crying.

Who are they? -Anbu, chairman's nephew.

He has come to mediate. -She's young, she doesn't know.

Be quiet, I'll handle it. Greetings, sir.

Why are you making a schoolgirl sit in the police station?

Instead of settling it at home..... -I know who you are...

...and why you're here.

This isn't a councillor's office...

...to do what you wish. This is a police station.

We go by the book. -I'm the only man who respects...

...the law here. I'm not here to make trouble.

I'm here to talk to both the families to settle this.

Looks like this will take a long time.

Brother, go and buy tea for all of us.

Hello, I'm Selvi's boyfriend.

You should look for a perfect match before you elope.

Boy, go and get us tea. -Be respectful, I'm his lawyer.

Hold the coat or you'll pass off as an accused.

She isn't listening, how can you persuade her?

If she doesn't listen, I have to get them married.

Let me talk to her. -Try your luck.

All of you, wait outside. Take them out!

Go on, I'll talk to her.

We've been looking for you from last night. Sit down.

Have you eaten? -Yes, I did.

Okay, drink some water. Were they too harsh on you?

Your face is swollen after all that crying.

Her face is always swollen.

I'm not here on behalf of your parents.

I heard what happened and came here for your sake.

I don't care about caste and status like your parents.

I'm prepared to get you married to this boy right away.

But you are still in school.

Tell me you want to marry him as soon as you graduate.

I'll get you married to him.

Education is very important.

In the blink of an eye, six months will fly.

It's my responsibility to get you married, okay?

This is how you promised Viji when she was in love.

Finally, you got her married to Uncle Chandru.

Why do you think I broke Viji and her lover?

Think I brought Viji and Uncle Chandru together.

Selvi, you know that no one will go against my word.

Trust me and go home. -Selvi, don't believe him.

When you go home, they'll change your mind with black magic.

Is she a rat to faint after consuming some medicine?

Did you attract her with such a potion?

Wait here, I'll talk to him. I'm not here to poison her mind.

You're right if I had told her not to marry you.

I'll get you married after she graduates.

What's your problem? -Who are you to get us married?

How are you connected to this? -French connection!

He looks like a China phone, why are listening to him?

You can't be loud in here. -Dude! Okay, I'll handle this.

I agree.

I'm related to the girl. I'm talking on your behalf too.

This problem magnified because you eloped with a schoolgirl.

You waited for so long, right? Wait for another six months.

I can't do that, I want to get married today.

Don't you trust your love? -I don't believe you.

He has instant answers. -This won't work, sir.

Both of them are adults. Get them married today.

If she wants to study, she can continue after marriage.

He isn't letting her study now. Will he do it after marriage?

Sir, the boy is jobless. The girl is still in school.

How will they run a family? Will you feed them?

Why does it matter to you? You'll get paid whether...

...they marry or split up. If we get you married now,...

...after six months, you'll be filing for divorce.

We've seen many cases. If you marry six months later,...

...you can live happily. The rest is up to you.

Fine, but how can I trust you? -Fine, you don't trust me.

Don't you believe Selvi? Can she give you in writing?

I trust Selvi, our love is deep. -His love is deep.

Then wait for six months.

Selvi, are you wondering if your parents will accept?

It's my responsibility to get their consent.

Don't decide immediately because I said so.

Think about it and then decide? Have you thought about it?

Tell that boy and leave.

You must be the state topper this year.

The girl wants to go home. The boy has given his consent.

Are you okay? -I have no say in this.

You can take the girl back if she agrees.

Thanks a lot. -Don't worry.

Bring the girl. Let's go.

Take her home, don't hit or scold her.

Buy her whatever she wants. -What about the boy?

I'll handle him. Go on! -Get her toys to play.

Boy, have you got a ride back? -No.

Come with us. -No, it's okay.

Send him home.

Let's go. -Anbu!

I heard many things about you, so I got you wrong.

To speak ill of good people is a fashion statement now.

You don't about know him.

His policy is to protect the law and uphold justice.

He'll bend backwards to get what he wants.

Forget it. Why blow our own trumpet?

Who is this? -He's our friend.

Photographer from London.

He looks different. -Yes, he's white.

Let's go, Bill. Bye, sir. -Bye!

He said he'll come after six months but he is back in six minutes.

Hold on! Stand up! -Get up!

Think you're very smart if you go to the DSP's office?

If we can convince a girl in five minutes...

...and take her away from the police station,...

...can't we make her forget you in six months?

Do you think you're handsome? -With your beard,...

...do you think you look like actor Sasi Kumar from Nadodi?

If I see you going after any girl, I'll cut you on the spot.

You elope with a schoolgirl and went to the DSP's office!

How dare you step into our area and fall in love with our girl?

If I see any of you here again, I'll skin you alive.

Is it wrong to fall in love in India?

Does it mean you'll hit me too if I fall in love?

Are you in love? -Yes.

What is your caste and what is your girlfriend's caste?

I'm a male and she's a female. -Look what he said!

You have to ask him in a way he understands.

What is your caste and what is her caste?

No caste, I'm British, she's American.

There's no hassle. -Why?

In our town, two foreigners can fall in love.

But it's a crime if people from different castes fall in love.

Like this one. -What?

Why do you keep questioning?

Scoot from here! -What is next?

There's a sacrificial offering at the Aiyyanar Temple.

Let's go there and make merry.

My hand hurts.

Don't look at it superficially because they are our folks.

Inquire thoroughly about the girl's background.

I've asked around, they belong to our caste.

It's hard to find a bride for your son.

And she sifts and sieves. -What are you saying?

Shouldn't that girl be familiar with our custom?

Is she from Venus not to know our customs?

Are there any defects in my son's horoscope?

If there is, it must be in mine.

I've shown 139 photos to your son so far.

He rejected them, saying they have eloped...

...with someone or are in love with others.

The ones he accepts, you say that she's not pretty.

Can we just say yes to the girls you show?

Come here!

I say, come here! -They ganged up again.

Was your mission successful? -Greetings.

As usual it got done in a bad way. -You're good at that.

How will you prosper if you go to the station on an auspicious day?

Have you prospered by not going there?

What? -There goes!

Why should it matter if a boy elopes with a girl?

What can I do?

You brought me up saying I should question injustice.

Don't over react.

Only good people do such good deeds.

One who plays dirty shouldn't preach about fair play.

Will you keep quiet? Your brother is the one to blame.

If he hadn't called, why would he go?

It has been years since I spoke to him.

If he keeps going, won't he call him?

He doesn't call me because I go.

He calls because I'll go even if he doesn't call me.

Try to understand that.

It's okay if you don't answer him. Don't make him go mad.

I'm bored yelling at you. -Same here.

Why do you gang up with him and go against the town?

What wrong did my son do?

He advises girls who elope and unites them with their parents.

That is good karma. -Do whatever you want?

Fine. -Go that way.

I'll go this way. -Do whatever you want.

How do you live with him? -Keep quiet.

Look at this girl. -Let me see.

How long am I to keep looking at their photos?

Can we bring them here for you?

Right, is he a marriage broker or some other broker?

She isn't an ordinary girl, I found her with great difficulty.

Was she lost? -She's as pure as gold.

Her character is like Goddess Sita.

Even her neighbours won't be aware she lives next door.

Does her family know she's home? -Keep quiet.

They told me to look for a groom for her.

He is so serious. Dude!

What is it? You know that girl?

The whole town knows her.

Please get some water for the broker.

Please get me some coffee. -Coffee? We'll pour milk on you.

Do you like her? -Look at his Sita.

You'll like her very much. How did you find her?

I had to look for her. -That's how you look...

...for someone who has eloped. -Why are you hitting me?!

Stop it! -I'll kill you!

If you want a bride, a girl has to be born.

You won't allow the girl to marry her boyfriend.

You won't marry her either. So what's your logic?

You won't understand. -You're being fair.

They won't let you live peacefully in this town.

You'd better go back to your country.

I won't step into your house again!

Hello!

Vino, what are you doing with your Bell computer?

It's Dell, not Bell.

You rub it in every minute that you are educated.

Where is your father? -Up.

You sent him to God? Good! -Stop it!

Hi! Your uncle was asking for you just now.

He has to attend the panchayat meeting. Is he ready or not?

He is getting ready. Come and eat first.

We've already eaten. -I made dosa and...

...your favourite tomato chutney. -Tomato chutney.

That's a style statement. Let's eat.

You'll eat coconut chutney too. -He has gone to the table.

I'll reserve a seat for you. -Why is the table in Madurai?

You're always making fun. Help yourself.

Have you eaten?

I got through the first round of the campus interview.

They want me to go for the final round to Coimbatore

Why go so far? Walk on your terrace this evening.

Final round interview. -Okay!

It took me three years to get my first job after I graduated.

Your sister is brilliant. -Yes, just like me.

Dude, brilliant means smart. -Trying to be funny?

Eat your dosa with some chutney. -I asked dad.

He doesn't want me to go. Can you convince him?

He's waiting for you to graduate to get you married.

How will he agree to let you work?

Wait, you want your father to let you go for the interview, right?

Yes. -I'll handle it.

But promise me you won't take up the job.

Tasty, who made it?

She must work after she graduates. Why get her married?

What practice is this? -Go back to your country.

You're corrupting our folks. Our family hates the word 'job'.

Eat, no words of wisdom here. -I'm lucky.

My friends were forced to get married while studying.

Girls shouldn't act, study or play once they get married.

Too many restrictions! -This isn't too bad.

They say a man should marry only once.

They say it is tradition. -Aren't you ashamed?

Our whole family has no shame.

Are you trying to create trouble in our family?

Just eat your food. -How are you going to help me?

Why must you work when you're born into a good family?

Have I ever insisted on working?

One who failed in school finals won't get an IT job.

I failed because I knew they would give me a job.

If he had passed, the school would have collapsed.

The sambar has too many chicken pieces.

Did you give the contract to Uthaman?

Yes. -He's here, I'll talk to him.

You've stuffed enough, let's go.

They want to demolish the houses we built because...

...it's on government land. -Who is the scum who said so?

The commissioner said so. -Ask our men not to vacate.

Okay, uncle. -I'll talk to the commissioner.

You seem to be having a round table conference.

We were talking to Vino Have you eaten?

He doesn't understand English. Let's go.

Uncle, Vino wants to go to Coimbatore for an interview.

How can you say this?

I keep saying girls shouldn't study.

How can I send my daughter to work?

Our policy will be affected. -What policy do.....

Keep quiet, uncle. No, it's a prestigious company.

She wants to work six months. -There lies the fault.

If I had not sent her to college, she won't have such dreams.

Why should my daughter work? It won't work out.

Ask her to stay put at home. Let's go.

What is this? -You heard him. What can I do?

Go! -Let's go!

Greetings. -Greetings. Sit down.

Greetings. -Greetings.

How are you? -Please sit down.

It's okay, sit.

They are not councillors. Why did you let them in?

Do you know the man seated next to you?

Councillor of Ward 5. -Rubbish! He is not a councillor.

He has been our driver for five years.

You couldn't even identify him. Sit down!

Let them explain the corruption in the road contract issue.

Whatever he says is right. What wrong did you see?

Why are you arguing with them?

In a democratic country, everyone can say his opinion.

Speak up!

Four people bid for the road tender.

My brother, Mahesh Babu, quoted Rs7 lakhs,...

...but you've given the tender to Uthaman who bid for Rs9 lakhs...

...just because he is your man. Explain that first.

Yes! -He gave it to a good man.

He did not give to goons like you.

Wait!

If you prefer your caste, why give the tender?

You know we give preference to our people.

Then why bid for the tender? Just to create trouble?

What is this? You did wrong and you're not remorseful.

Don't wag your fingers at me, you know who I am.

Have you come to see a bride here? Why should we feel shy?

What's wrong with him? -Don't feel shy, just sit.

They are not shy at all. -Sit down!

Silence! If my men ask Rs19 lakhs,...

...I'll give the tender to them.

Don't shout and ruin your health. Clear out!

No use talking to them anymore. We'll walk out now.

Let's go. -This is atrocious.

How can you walk out? -Let's go!

We thought they would fight, they are walking out quietly

We've seen men who don't get involved in fights.

We're stepping your tail, you're still not fighting.

Hey! -They don't want to listen.

Fling eggs at them. -Opposition is playing unfair.

Don't aim at their heads.

Watch me in action! Trying to hit me?

Hit them!

Don't you dare hit me! You're about to die.

Who called you here to give your opinion?

Give me one tomato. -This is atrocious.

Someone will come to put you in place.

He'll get tomatoes too. Off you go now!

Who pushed this old man? -He's asking even though he knows.

You are here.

Good people's blood shouldn't get wasted.

Take the eggs out.

You pushed the old man, you're laughing too.

What about you? You mistook betel leaf stain as blood.

Sorry! -Why are you laughing?

He must have added too much chalk.

Now I'll hit him, watch him bleed.

You'll get it now. -You moron! He is one of us.

Hit one of your men and show blood spurting.

What?

You think you're a big shot?

Let go of me! Put me down!

Where are you taking me?

Everybody is busy fighting. Where are you taking me?

Put me down

Disperse! Who is that?

We're here to fight for fun. Why are you taking it seriously?

They may die. -Shouldn't let them go.

Won't you listen to me? Why are you fighting?

What do you want now? Clear out. -Don't act smart with me.

I'll kill you.

Don't mess with me. -Creating a ruckus here?

You call yourself a cop! Go and ask them.

Don't be rude to me! Go on!

I want to see how you win this election.

In just six months I'll bring you to your knees.

Your father said this for 20 years. Go!

Listen to me! Go! -You must go by the books.

I know the law. Go!

You have the police in your palm.

It's my niece's birthday, we want to make an archanai.

Vinodhini's birthday? Simha? I'll do it gladly.

Do one for me too. Or we have to buy two trays.

Okay!

The Goddess looked beautiful, right?

Sorry, it misfired.

It's my niece's birthday. So please the offering.

Girl, come here!

Can you see that lady over there? Give this to her.

Tell her it is from me. -Is it a love letter?

Leave letter! Naughty! Go and give her!

What are you thinking? Give it to her!

Here. -Have some offering.

Letter for you. -Give. What is this?

Love letter. -Love letter? Who gave it to you?

That uncle sitting over there. -She got me into trouble.

Sonny! Did you give this? -Yes, sir.

Yes? -Hold this!

Uncle!

How dare you give a love letter to our girl! Wait!

Is this the house? -Yes, partner.

Who is at home? Let go of me. -Who is it?

Hi, madam. Where is your son? -Who are you?

Why do you want to see him? -He hates even when a husband...

...gives a love letter to his wife.

Do you think we will like it if the same happens to our girl?

Cool! You should talk gently with ladies.

You talk! -Hello, ma'am, if my friend...

...gives a love letter to this girl, will you keep quiet?

What are you saying? -Fool!

The old woman doesn't like you. -I'm talking to you!

If I take my knife, I'll kill you.

I bet. You so arrogant despite your age,...

...imagine how arrogant we can be. -Uncle, shut up!

Did you tell your son to look for his own match...

...because you know you won't be able to get him a bride?

Look, my boy is not that sort. Someone misinformed you.

Who is that making noise..... -Hi, did you give the letter?

He looks like a white rat in pant and shirt.

Did you give a letter to a girl from their family?

I didn't give any letter. -I'll kill you if you lie.

I only gave a greeting card. -He is too much.

Please forgive him. He did this in ignorance.

Yes. -Really?

Is this something you do in ignorance?

If I did the same to your sister, will you keep quiet?

I will keep quiet. -Really? What is this?

Seems to be a shameless family! -But my sister won't keep quiet.

Will your sister give another letter in return?

Just whistle, she'll come running.

They did not raise their son well,...

...do you think their daughter is decent?

Don't let your tongue run. If she hears you,...

...you'll be in trouble. -What will happen?

We have God's permission to create trouble.

Then it's your fate. -Good heavens!

Where did she throw it from?

If we are shameless, you don't have an ounce of shame.

My brother only gave one card.

Your sister has given him an entire post office.

After I saw you, I'm not myself, Vinodhini.

Check with your girl first before you barge in here.

And when the men are not at home. -Shailu, I'm here.

Okay, when one male is around.

We should have realized when Vino kept mum.

If you come dressed in white, can you talk whatever you like?

No! -Don't stop me!

I'll make you count bars on account of eve teasing.

We were only talking to this old lady.

How can you say that?

She might file a case that we misbehaved with the old lady.

We are better off with eve teasing.

Yes, let's go.

Let me go! -She's our grandma!

Let the old woman go! -I held your hand by mistake.

What is wrong with them? -You threw the cards away.

Such memorable gifts. -I should have hit you instead.

The pitcher is dented. -Will you go in please?

Break every utensil at home.

You just throw whatever you lay your hands on.

If it becomes a big problem, who will deal with it?

They won't come here after how I whacked them.

Don't be scared. -They are back!

If you create any trouble.....

No, we didn't come back to make any trouble.

In the chaos just now, my friend dropped his car key.

If you do not hit us for five minutes, we'll get it.

Is that so? -I'll help you then.

Great!

I found it, let's go.

You found the key?

I've been looking too. Where did you find it?

Right here. -Let's go home safe.

Maybe she hid it.

It's cold outside, go in and search.

He is out. I'll inform him as soon as he comes.

What happened? You found out who the boy is?

We did, we found out about the boy and your daughter.

Where is she? -Ever since she came back,...

...she is in her room. She looks afraid.

She is innocent. I bet she is scared.

We were praying when this boy chased her and gave her a letter.

Good heavens! -Did you check who chased whom?

Shut up! Aunty, we have dealt with it.

It was a case of mistaken identity.

He fell on our feet and apologised.

The boy fell on his feet and your nephew hurt his head.

Uncle, keep quiet.

Don't tell uncle and blow it out of proportion.

I'll handle this. -Okay.

I'll go and question her. -No, she's a young girl.

Is this what a child does? There's a limit to pamper.

Someone may soon ask us if we raised a girl or what.

Go!

You did everything, now you're watching TV happily.

What should a girl do if she doesn't want to...

...embarrass her family?

Switch off all the fans and TV at home.

Good. If you want your parents to be in ease,...

...you'll store them in the fridge?

Punch dialogues after punching us in our hearts!

Did Satish give you a love letter? -Did I say so?

His sister told us. -Then ask her. Don't yell at me.

I can't watch TV in peace. -I don't care if you insult me.

You are to be blamed for giving him a love letter.

Why did you? Tell me! -You're old. Can't you think?

If I don't have a phone, then I have to give letters.

Useless!

Do you know what will happen if your father hears this?

He's right here, go and tell him.

He keeps walking from one room to another.

What is it? -Nothing.

Why are you rubbing your eyes? -People were praising...

...Vinodhini just now. -Really?

I'm shedding tears of joy.

I thought you were cutting onions for a feast.

If you know what it is, you'll shed blood.

Careful, your mouth might get stuck.

You're too much! What am I to tell them now?

Stuck between the devil and the deep sea.

We've come till the district court.

The case always gets postponed, we have not won the case yet.

Call the lawyer, uncle. -He is calling.

It's the lawyer. Hello, sir! -Where are you?

Inside. -Inside? Is the verdict out?

If you keep arguing like this, verdict will be out soon.

I'm not in jail, I'm inside the court.

Inside the court? Okay, stay there.

I'm out of town. I'll send my junior.

Sending your junior? Are you joking?

Why should I? I've briefed my junior.

It'll get adjourned. -No..... Hello!

What happened? -He won't come.

He is sending his junior. -He himself argues like a junior.

He has a junior?

Sailaja, they are our clients. Get the details from them.

I'll wait in the courtroom, be there.

We don't have to come every week. Straight inside to count bars!

Hello!

You only chopped his hand. The man is alive, right?

She's talking casually as if he cut a cake.

She was in a good mood that day, we escaped with just the pitcher.

I'm in court now, call me later. Bye!

Okay, who assaulted the victim? -Our team.

Uncle!

I just gave him the stick. He cracked the man's head.

You didn't do anything? Hello, I'm asking you!

I told them not to, but they..... -Yes,...

...he said not to stop with just one blow.

The three of you attacked a 60 year old officer.

We shared 20 each. What's the big deal?

Say yes to all my questions in front of the judge. Clear?

Should I say 'yes' when you ask my name too?

Come now!

That way!

No adjournment for sure! What happened to him?

Thank God! Come on!

Didn't expect the case to get over so fast.

She squashed it to pieces.

Anbu, I would like to talk to you in private.

Sure. Why are you dragging me?

She might hike her fees by Rs100 or Rs200.

Don't mind what she did, just pay the girl.

Keep quiet. -Girl! I've already told him.

He'll take good care. Don't feel shy to ask.

Yes? -Who are they?

Are they your relatives? -No, they are jobless.

They hang around to be of some help to me.

What do you do? -I help the town.

I was a little too rash the other day. Sorry!

It's our fault.

Without verifying, we created trouble.

I've been like this since small.

When I get upset, I'll throw whatever I can get hold of.

That's okay. Your advocate struggled to get an adjournment.

But you argued effortlessly and got us out.

You can hit us even with a pot.

Do you know something? This is my first case.

Really? Ask your advocate to become your junior.

Two offenders can walk away scot-free,...

...you argued firmly for an innocent.

You'll become a famous lawyer. -Don't make fun of me.

I thought I lied too much in court.

Not bad, you seem to be quite a nice guy.

See you. -When?

Won't you come again for another case? Bye!

Why did he call us urgently? -When did he tell us...

...to take our time? -Come.

Minister Kalapandi's brother's family.

They came to ask for Vinodhini. -Why all of a sudden?

No, we've been talking about this.

They came suddenly, so I called for you. Come on!

We can have a feast today. -Quiet!

My brother's son, Anbu. -Greetings.

I know him very well, the epitome of affection.

Everyone in this town praises him. -Right.

Anbu, come here for a second. -I'll be right back.

Your sister is refusing to come out.

If your uncle finds out, he'll kill her.

Okay, entertain our guests. I'll bring her down.

Get ready fast, they are waiting for you.

Why did they arrange this suddenly? I won't come.

Why are you refusing? -Vino, aren't you ready yet?

Go on, I'll bring her down.

Your father is yelling at your mother. Let's go, Vino.

I love Satish.....

You know everything, right?

Listen, they won't get you married immediately.

They are only here to see you. Many more rituals to go.

Just show your face now.

If they ask whether you like the groom, say no.

You think father will ask me? Definitely not!

You know, right? Then why did you fall in love?

Okay, stop crying. I'll handle your father.

You will marry the man you love. I'm responsible for that.

Come down now.

Don't say the same dialogue you tell the other girls.

Crazy, you're my sister. I'm not like how I used to be.

You can trust me.

You are..... -I'm the bride's maternal uncle.

Okay. -And you?

Groom's maternal uncle.

How long have you been her uncle?

From the day she was born. -Really?

What about you? -From the day my nephew was born.

We are both sailing in the same boat. What unity!

You both studied hard to get the 'uncle' degree!

Keep quiet!

Say hi to everyone. -Greetings.

What have you studied? -M.C.E.

M.C.I?

I thought you passed 8th or 9th Grade.

Forget it. Son, take a good look at her.

Do you like the bride? -Yes, we do.

All of us like the girl.

Is that right? Go in. -Come on!

I'll say that again, we like the bride.

We are happy too. -Then let's exchange trays.

If you say so. -Uncle, come in for a minute.

I'll be back. -Go on.

Yes?

Let's ask my sister if she likes the groom.

What is this new practice?

Don't we know what's good for her?

Why ask her? -She's going to live with him.

Did I marry your aunt with her acceptance? Aren't we happy?

No..... -What?

It's not that, times have changed.

Your daughter is educated.

So we should ask her.....

Shouldn't make a habit of this.

If I find for a bride for you and ask you to marry her, won't you?

I will. -You're a boy, you agree.

Why can't a girl agree?

It's a good proposal. We shouldn't let it go.

Let's finalise it. Understood? Explain to him.

I did yesterday. -We'll formalise it now.

We'll have the wedding after the chairman's election.

Restrictions in exchanging trays. Please accept this.

Everything went smoothly.

Next? -I want all of you to eat.

Serve generously.

Don't you ask the girl her opinion before marriage?

We don't.

If we do, half the men in town would be bachelors.

Even when you sacrifice a goat, you get its permission.

In your country, you marry in the morning and divorce that evening.

Have we ever asked you why? -No.

Then shut up and eat. -What's the matter?

I've been trying for so long, nothing inside.

You won't get any juice. -Why?

I ate that.

What is your plan?

Brother said he'll handle it. -That's what he would say.

Then he'll tear you apart without your knowledge.

What do you want me to do? -This is your life.

You should decide.

Shailu, I want to share something important with you.

I'm busy now, tell me later. -You're just in Facebook.

Listen to me. -What is it?

They've found a groom for Vinodhini.

So what? -I'm planning to kidnap her.

And then? -Who is Satish?

Tell him I'm not here. Are they back again?

Please come in. -There is a parcel.

Please sign. -You're delivering a parcel.

Why do you raise your voice like this?

I always speak this way. -Good riddance!

It's so hot outside. -You're afraid of a postman.

And you want to kidnap the chairman's daughter.

I changed the plan. -What?

We'll elope and get married at the registrar's office.

If others elope, they will get caught in the bus stand.

But if you elope, you'll be nabbed outside the house.

Is that so? -Fool!

Shailu, I'm scared to even think about her family.

Only you can help me. I love Vino dearly.

I'll die without her. It's the truth, Shailu.

Tea or coffee? -No, thanks.

Horlicks or Boost? -I don't want.

Green tea. -I don't drink tea at all. Go!

Then why come to a tea shop?

Have you been waiting for long? -No, I just came, two hours ago.

This is my favourite shop. Even when I'm not working,..

...I come here for tea. -Very good habit.

Go! -You take tea, right?

I love tea.

I love tea too.

You wanted to talk to me. -I just wanted to talk.

What do you think about love? -Whose love?

When we fall in love or someone else's love?

Tell me in general. -Generally.....

Love is like this tea. In some shops, it is good.

In other places, it is bad.

Then why do men like you want to shut down all the tea shops?

No, boys elope with schoolgirls. That is the reason.

If the same schoolgirl is married off while still in school,...

...isn't that wrong? -That's wrong too.

Forget it, I'm not referring to puppy love at all.

Will you accept if the girl falls in love after maturity?

You mean attaining puberty? -No, I didn't mean that.

Once she is grown up. -Grown up?

How do I make him understand?

Take Surya and Jyothika for example.

Will you split that kind of love?

If I was told to do so, I would have tried.

No one can do that.

Love that comes with maturity cannot be torn apart.

That's right too.

So unite my brother with your sister.

You said that easily. Do you know what it can cause?

A girl and boy falling in love is an ordinary matter.

We blow it out of proportion. -Shouldn't our elders agree?

Why drag them into this? You can do it if you set your mind.

You got me a glass of tea and muddling me up like this.

No, let me tell you clearly.

If we are unable to decide our life partner,...

...then what's the use in living?

I'll be there immediately.

Think about it. Bye!

Brother, don't let him pay for the tea.

He is my friend. -Okay.

She's my friend too. -Okay.

See you!

What song is this?

Whenever I listen to it, I get into a romantic mood.

You are truly blessed.

You get into 'love mood' by just listening to a song.

It took me a week to realise there's such a feeling.

Do you have a girlfriend? -Yes.

You got a girl? -Same caste!

What has caste got to do with love?

When you're in love, only love takes centre stage.

You say you get romantic listening to this song.

But it's not helping my mood. Play a song I can relate to.

Great song.

Who stopped the song? -I did.

Why did you switch it off? -You hate love. Why listen to it?

Did I say I'm against love? -You didn't say you do.

This is what they did, right from my childhood,...

...he has been telling this to the whole world.

Now I have nothing to do with girls.

Or all the heroines will be queuing up at his doorstep.

One day, when I was 10, I said I didn't want tea.

From that day onwards, he told everyone I hate tea.

So you like tea?

Who are you to decide if I like tea or not?

Now I'm in doubt if I like tea or not.

My uncle is even worse.

Even when we woo a girl, she must be from our caste.

How can you link flirting with caste?

Then how can you link love and caste?

How can you link us and love? -True.

There is connection.

My sister is in love with whom? My girlfriend's brother.

So the relationship works, right?

He means that girl that threw the pitcher.

She can file a case for you, she can't be your life-partner.

She works on our case, can't she marry me?

Go ahead. -Are you being fair?

Why not? She said something.

If Surya and Jyothika fall in love, it'll be great.

If Ajith and Shalini fall in love, it'll be great.

But why is it bitter if we fall in love?

Did Ajith go from station to station separating lovers?

That's not my fault, I acted on your instigation.

Fine, if the people we separated question us, what will you say?

No one can ruin a strong love. No one can unite a weak love.

Repeat this dialogue to them.

Writing on water and making a decision while drunk...

...won't work out well. Let's decide tomorrow.

To do something the day after, you have to decide tomorrow.

To do something tomorrow, you have to decide today.

I've decided, I'm going to the court tomorrow.

Bill, if uncle finds out, they'll ring the bell for us.

He isn't deciding after getting drunk.

He decided even before he started drinking.

He never let me drink at all.

I don't take beer.

Looks like a watchman's shirt.

Looks like a politician's shirt.

Will this look good? It looks like a school uniform.

This is fine, blue is my lucky colour.

Choose the tea you want. -I don't want any, water will do.

Wait! You're complaining to a white man who tortured us...

...for 200 years. What did we do to you?

It was just a figure of speech. -Really?

If you drink, will you talk as you please?

I didn't drink even a drop of alcohol last night.

Really? It was all an act? -If I spoke that way...

...without drinking, you'd say I'm blabbering.

So I didn't drink.

Is he confusing us or are we getting confused?

So I drank last night, that's what I said.

He is confusing us. -Don't blabber.

That's disrespectful! -Right, get lost!

What? Short stuff!

What a surprise to see him wearing a coloured shirt?

He doesn't like wearing coloured shirts.

Did he say so to you? -No, he didn't.

Whatever he didn't like, he will like them now.

Whatever he liked..... -He won't like?

He will like them too. -No.....

If you ask anything more, you'll go mad.

Ever since he was hit by the pitcher, he's like this.

See you, sister. -What is he saying?

Where are you? -Temple.

Temple? -What's up?

Good news. Tell you in person. Wait there.

Good news?

Is it your birthday today? -No, why do you ask?

You're always in white as if it's your uniform.

Today you're using a coloured shirt.

Am I a schoolboy to use a coloured shirt and distribute...

...sweets to everyone? -I asked for fun.

What's the good news?

Are you in love with anyone? -No, I'm not. Why do you ask?

You spoke in favour of love in the tea shop.

I support murderers too in court every day.

Does that mean I kill people?

Even if I do, I swear I won't kill our people.

Don't swear in a temple. Anything can happen.

True, take yourself for example.

I thought you were a rogue at first.

Now I don't think so. -How do you feel now?

Nothing. I'm blank.

Black? -Blank!

Really? Whenever I see you, I feel something.

What?

Why didn't I see you earlier.....

One minute.

Waste call.

I never thought of anything for myself since small.

I just led my life based on what others told me.

For the first time in my life, I thought of something yesterday.

Forget it.

Too bad if you get enlightened only during the interval.

I want to say something else. -What?

When we wake up in the morning, we hum the first song we hear...

...the whole day. So..... -So?

From the day I saw you, I feel something.

So.....

What? -Shall we get married?

Why are you staring? Waste call?

No, it isn't. -Yes, mom?

Where are you? -I'm in the temple.

Everyone is saying your brother eloped...

...with the chairman's daughter. -What are you saying?

Come home without being seen by their goons.

What is it, uncle? -We've been deceived!

Satish, the boy who gave a letter to your sister, eloped with her!

What are you blabbering? -I'm not, I saw them...

...at the railway station!

No one in his family should be spared! Come immediately!

You pampered your girl. Why cry now?

Okay, stop crying. I think Anbu has come.

Where did you go? Look what happened.

Who told you my sister eloped?

I saw her and that boy at the railway station.

Why didn't you buy them water and biscuits and bid them farewell?

Moron!

Why didn't you stop them? -The train started moving.

How can I stop it? I've sent our boys.

You have already warned him. -Hey!

If he had done this, he is too much.

Couldn't have snitched better. -What did you say?

Has he warned him before? Why didn't you tell me?

Thought if you knew, it might be blown out of proportion.

I suggested to keep it under wraps.

All of you have put me to shame.

Had I known this earlier, would I have let it go this far?

You've proved that you are immature.

Start the car! -Blabbermouth!

I didn't see him.

Let's check at Vino's friend's place.

Who is inside? Come out!

Where is your son? -Why do you want to know?

If he elopes with our girl, do you expect us to keep quiet?

Be respectful. -Why respect a man who...

...has a casanova for a son? -Don't talk without enquiring.

I didn't raise my son that way. -Hey, listen!

Your son has been flirting with my daughter.

I'll give you time until tonight.

If your son does not bring my daughter back home.....

I'll burn your entire family alive!

Let's go!

Change the channel, mom. -Keep quiet!

Look how she's talking.

See what program they are watching now. Great!

Someone is at the door. Go and check.

You won't even let me eat in peace.

Is that girl coming..... -Shut your mouth!

Why are you here?

Vinodhini left the house without informing us.

If she had, would you have let her go?

How can you talk this way? -What else should I ask?

So you were aware of Vinodhini's plans?

The entire college knows. -News reached to her college?

Is this how an educated girl behaves?

We went to college for this. -Are you starting a revolution?

Better cough up the truth, where is she?

What for? To spoil her career? -Don't talk this way.

If my uncle finds out, he'll kill her.

Will you kill for such a reason? -He'll kill for prestige.

How is prestige connected with murder?

You won't understand, Bill. -If she goes to work, how will...

...it affect his prestige? -Gone to a job?

Yes, she has gone to Coimbatore for the final interview...

...in Tidel Park.

If it is work related, why should she go to the park?

Uncle, Tidel Park is an IT infrastructure.

She didn't elope with Satish? -With Satish?

Didn't she go for the interview then?

Why are you confusing us like this?

You're the one confusing me. -Do you understand now?

What? Get lost! -Punch him on his mouth!

Yes, partner?

We are looking for them too. Put the phone down.

It seems our men went and ransacked Satish's house.

Our uncle hit his father. Matter is getting out of hand.

Blabbermouth! Did you see properly?

Did you see our girl and the boy at the railway station?

I saw them with both my eyes.

Did you see them together or next to each other?

Fool, both are the same.

Both are as far as Earth from Pluto. Think again.

I saw them together, but they were standing next to each other.

Commotion starts with rumour.

God, I hope our girl has really eloped.

I know what you're thinking. -Why?

If only Vinodhini did not elope, you'll die.

What if she had eloped? -You'll die too.

Where are we going now? -To check into a hotel.

Shut up and come along.

Get down!

They've built it with glass.

In a riot, won't the glass get smashed to pieces?

Riot? Look at those gearing up for a riot?

Are you developing the girl's arm?

Get your hands off! Get lost!

Looks glossy, right? -Yes, it was built by foreigners.

I was talking about the girl. -Me too!

Bill, I don't know anyone here. Talk in English for me.

Convey my regards to your father. Let's go.

If you continue to talk like this, I'll go outside.

Then it will stink!

Why are we not allowed? -Are you provoking me?

Dhoti not allowed, sir. -Mate!

Yes? -You can't use dhoti here.

We can't wear a dhoti and go inside, right?

Why didn't you tell me this earlier?

Let's see how you run this company.

Come, my boys! -What a set of silly rules!

They humiliated us. -Yes, they did.

This is not our village. What are you doing here?

You went inside. Did you look back?

He didn't let us in with our dhoti.

You use dhoti all the time. Today, you wore pants.

They let you in. What about us?

Don't you know how to carry yourself?

Put your dhoti on. -He insulted us.

You're not taking him to task, you're scolding us.

Did you check where your sister is?

This building has offices all over the place.

We don't know which office she is in.

Let's split and look for her. -Anbu, what are you doing here?

My sister is here for an interview.

We are trying to find out which office she is in.

Why are you here? -My office is in this building.

In which office is your sister's interview?

Easy or difficult, sounded like that.

ECS. -Really?

If you ask the reception, they will guide you.

Your friend's office? -No, front office.

Is it your friend's office? -Front office means reception.

Uncle, can't you keep quiet? Come and show us.

Whose reception is this? -His grandma's reception.

Excuse me! Which floor is ECS? -Whom do you want to meet?

A candidate named Vinodhini is attending an interview.

No need to ask her, look. -Why is she coming alone?

How did you come here? Sukanya told you?

What does it matter whether Sukanya or Khusboo informed us?

I did very well in the interview.

Five lakhs cost to company, I can join after two months.

Here's the offer letter. Are you upset with me?

Uncle, bring her out. -You sound like nothing happened.

Without any festival, your father is walking on fire.

Why? -He thought you eloped...

...with Satish, they attacked his family.

All because of you. -Is it because of me or you?

How can you blame.....

Are you a man?

What do you eat? -Why are you staring at me?

Am I responsible if she didn't elope? Ask her.

What's the point in blaming anyone? Go on!

They've scattered chilies and coconuts all over the place.

I'm so angry.....

Uncle, Anbu came and threatened you earlier.

If you had told me then, would this have happened?

I just found out myself. These two hid it from me.

Even Shailu?

Forget your father. Shouldn't you have told me?

Why did you hesitate? -What would you have done?

I would have..... -He wouldn't have done anything!

Aunty, where is Satish? Call him. -I'm not able to reach him.

Very good, must have switched it off.

Why is he walking in like a groom? -Why are you all here?

Where did you go? -What business is it of yours?

Arrogant! -Old lady!

Why are our stuff outside? Are we moving to a new house?

Housewarming ritual, for an old house!

What happened to your phone? -It got switched off.

Was Vinodhini with you? -Mom, dad is here.

I know everything, tell me what happened.

No, I went for my friend's wedding and came straight home.

Didn't I tell you he isn't the kind to elope?

No one has ever raised his hand at me.

But today, Sevapandian insulted me in front of everyone.

All because of this boy. -How is that fair, uncle?

For Sevapandian's mistake, how is our boy to blame?

Satish, don't worry. -I'm not.

But I'm worried, uncle.

With this election, they'll be out of business.

I know very well where to hit and make them wince in pain.

I'll hit that weak spot.

Take her inside and tell them what happened.

I'll be back. -Won't you get down...

...she is out.

Stop right there!

You went out without telling anyone and humiliated us.

Who embarrassed whom?

If I don't tell you, does it mean I eloped?

Why are you so rude? If a girl leaves just like that,...

...what will people assume? -If a man does the same,...

...you won't be flustered. Don't you trust me at all, mom?

I heard you attacked Satish's family.

Tomorrow, I will elope with him. What will you do?

Even then we'll attack his family. There's fairness in our injustice.

This is how people react when their girl is missing.

Is it a crime to inquired when we are in doubt?

Are you totally brainless?

You don't even realise you're justifying your mistake.

You aren't showing any respect for his age.

Does he deserve any respect?

His livelihood is to constantly wait for problems to happen.

And a moustache to top it all.

Do you know what a struggle it is to get a job?

Don't know. -If you were educated, you'd know.

Even then I wouldn't know. -Brother!

What? -What is your goal in life?

I don't know what to say if you ask me all of a sudden.

As if he'll answer if you ask two days later.

At least she asked me. She didn't ask you at all.

Don't laugh! Listen, my only aim is this job.

I'm born in the same house.

So I share the same arrogance and obstinacy.

I'll surely take up this job. -Go, but they'll bring you back.

Shut up, uncle! Isn't she back, aunty?

Why are you scolding her for no reason?

Go in. -Keep quiet. You suspected me too.

I know you better than you know yourself.

You need not answer anyone. We'll sort this out later.

Go in first. -Inform before you go out again.

Look how arrogant she is. -What's wrong with you?

It's our fault.

We listened to him and doubted our own girl.

Why are you talking this way?

This problem has blown up because of her action.

She went out for a day and has become so arrogant.

I should have stopped her at Grade 5 and forced her to cook.

Right, if you had done that, she would be in the kitchen.

Because she went to college, she kept the stove under you.

Uncle, you're standing on top of fire.

Anbu, call the groom's house.

Tell them our girl went for an interview.

Tell them to fix the wedding date. -Uncle.....

Uncle is always right. -Get lost!

If we thrash him, things will be fine.

Why are we waiting here? -What else to do?

I'm planning to confess to Sailaja and apologise to her.

Apology? I don't think she'll forgive you.

Your uncle went to her house and humiliated her parents.

On top of it, he grabbed her father's shirt and disgraced him.

Don't do anything now. Let things cool down.

When have you ever left things to subside?

When there are signs of cooling, you stir it all over again.

Yes, we stir things up, you are the good Samaritan.

Shall we leave at 10 am? -Okay.

Dude, she is coming. -Wait!

She want her convinced you're innocent. That's all, right?

Yes. -I'll handle it.

Dude, don't let him do it. Talk to her yourself.

No, let him do it. -I said stay here.

I'll handle it. Foreigner, I'll hit you.

I can't be patient forever. Give me some respect.

He'll handle it well. -I thought it is my bike.

Look here, I'm sorry for everything.

How can he be blamed for his uncle's mistake?

If you want, stop talking to his uncle.

But you'd better talk to my friend. Or.....

Or what? -Or it'll become a huge problem.

Get lost!

Did I ask you before I come here? Don't I know how to get back?

Did you see how arrogant she is?

I don't think she can fit into our family.

Better think about it. -Is this the way to apologise?

Do you want me to fall at her feet and lament?

We have broken up many families. You broke many personally.

Has anyone questioned you? Paid them peanuts and they left.

I gave up my pride and apologised, she just walked away.

Useless!

Okay, time is 8:45. Time for dinner.

If we go late, there won't be any intestine curry left.

Bill told me to talk directly and not send you.

A white man knew about you, but I didn't know.

Eat, don't look at his face.

Hey, I'm talking to you! You're eating. Aren't you ashamed?

What should I do? That girl and you won't get along.

You can pour sauce on a parotta. Can you eat it with sambar?

Of course. -None of you understand my pain.

Eat to your stomach's content!

Sailaja, stop for a minute. Think about what I'm saying.

I wasn't even in town. I knew about it only much later.

Had I been there, I wouldn't have let it happen.

If you were here, would you have resorted to murder?

Why are you talking like them?

You feel proud when you kill, break lovers up or fight.

I don't feel proud.

Uncle was angry because of his love for his daughter.

How can you blame me for that?

Is it love to gatecrash into his daughter's boyfriend's house?

That's frenzy. Don't call it love and degrade love.

I'm not like before. Only now I realise what I did was wrong.

I've changed.

You don't have to change for anyone's sake.

Continue your social service just like before, forget me.

Listen to me for a minute.

How can I be blamed for an event in my absence?

Maybe you weren't aware of this.

But you're responsible for bringing it this far.

Take your hands off my scooty.

The other day, I came to talk to you only for my brother.

I had no other intention. Don't come and see me again.

Anbu is here. We'll come back later.

We came here to kill him. -Right, come on.

They are fated to die. -Election is around the corner.

Ten goons have hit him. What if it had been fatal?

Losers don't think that way. We're winners, let's be patient.

Say some nonsense and zip my lips.

I want to talk to you. -What?

Let go of Anbu. Don't drag him into politics.

To further your career, don't make him a scapegoat.

How can you be so rude to our boss?

He's my one and only son. I just want him to be happy.

I don't know about your wants. I think of Anbu as my son.

If he has a problem, you'll cry, I'll be mad.

Of course he loves his nephew. -Which room is he in?

Six, uncle.

Hello, uncle.

I was wondering why he wasn't here.

What's all this? -Just a small injury.

Only the bandage is big. -What did the doctor say?

I'll be discharged in the morning. -No, leave right now.

I'll get you out of here. -Okay, uncle.

Chief doctor's verdict. -My shirt, mom.

Uncle must be right, give him the shirt.

Inform the doctor and go home. I'll come home soon.

Come along, uncle. -Take care of him.

What's that big dot on your forehead?

Did you carry out my orders?

We slashed his limbs and his forehead.

Only thing we didn't do is garnish him with spices.

He was floating in blood. It'll be a miracle if he survives.

You've cut him to pieces like a tailor.

Must be a professional butcher. -We have to comply to your orders.

So what? I only told you to tap him twice.

I did not tell you to dissect him to pieces.

If I had paid Rs50,000 extra, you'd have cut his uncle too.

We'll do anything for you. -Don't go overboard.

Then the election will come to a halt.

Don't announce this, get your cash for the services rendered.

Sister is here. -Shailu. Sister?

I meant sister-in-law.

Why trouble yourself? I'd have come if you had called.

Didn't want to trouble you. Do you know that Anbu is in the hospital?

Will I spare the man who attacks your family?

I asked my boys to beat him up.

But they bruised him black and blue.

No one will cause any problems anymore.

They barged into my house. How does it affect you?

Why interfere unnecessarily?

Shailu, why are you treating me like a stranger?

Thank God he escaped with minor injuries.

You call this minor? 'Anbu floating in blood'.

'Hanging on to his life by a slim thread.'

That tuft head is waiting to get his balance payment.

I don't want to be the cause of his death.

Last warning, stop with this.

Or I'll lodge a complaint against you.

Shailu, I did this for you. I'll pay for his treatment.

She loves you a lot.

She's threatening to register a case against me.

It looks like love to you? -Though grown up, you're dumb.

If a child does something wrong,...

...don't we tell the teacher to reprimand the child?

Same way, it's election time.

Who will face the brunt if you get into trouble?

Who? -You.

So she warned her future husband. You don't even know this.

Take that man inside. I want to talk to you.

I told you to cut him, but you nicked him with a blade.

And he is in the hospital for that.

Why did you bring me here? -Nomination for the election.

Greetings. -Greetings.

How are you? -I'm fine, sir.

Uncle, here you go. -Sign here.

Why should I sign, uncle? -I'm not standing this time.

You are, sign here. -How can I stand superseding you?

Does he want his uncle to die? -I've thought this over.

Go ahead and sign. -Trust your uncle and sign.

From now on, you are our beacon of light.

Keep quiet!

Must show him the way to the cemetery first.

Give me two minutes, I'll convince your nephew.

Okay. -Dude!

What's this? -Come with me. Listen to us.

You don't realise your strength. Come out and see for yourself.

You'll know why we want you to stand.

What are you saying? -Come out.

Do you think you're MGR? Those two stray dogs may run.

You bragged about my strength, but I don't see anyone here.

So listen to me, we need followers.

If we want power, you should stand for the election.

You should win. -Most important,...

...do you want Sailaja or not? -How are they connected?

They are connected. Your uncle is preventing...

...the two groups from merging. When you become the chairman,...

...you'll have complete authority. You can do whatever you want.

If you merge the two groups, you won't just get Sailaja,...

...marriage, kiss, kids, all those are possible.

Look at me. -I can't look, just speak up.

For every bad deed by your uncle, there will be 1000 good reasons.

Knowing or unknowing, he has done something good for you.

Think of the good in this. -He has confused the boy.

What are you saying?

Grab this golden chance, that's all I can say.

MLA Anbu Selvam! -Long live!

He is standing for the chairman's post.

You don't even know what you're cheering for.

Dude, count him as one vote. -You think so? Scream!

Chairman Anbu Selvam! -Long live!

Dude, you're contesting in the coming election?

Yes, I am. -Anyone can contest in your town?

Told you to pack him off! -What are you hinting at?

Taking a dig at me? I'll tear your passport to pieces.

Who is partying so soon? -Must be our boys.

Sailaja is opposing you in this election.

What are you saying? -Candidate Sailaja!

I swear I didn't know about this.

Think you Mohanlal from Iruvar? -Anbu is contesting this time.

Is that so? Then we are sure to win.

You promised to unite us, now we'll be lifelong rivals.

If you're opposing Sevapandian, then you can think twice.

The whole town knows Anbu's calibre.

Sweeping victory for us, just sign it. Don't you agree?

This is the same dialog you spoke to your father.

I said the same line to my grandfather too.

We belong to the Ghajini family. -No wonder you keep losing.

She has signed. We've won! Let's go.

Get grandma's blessing. -Think of me as your son...

...and vote for me, grandma. -Our votes are for you.

Bless you, my son. -Over there. Where are you going?

I've asked for votes. -There's more to come.

I'll get porridge from one of these houses.

You'll drink it. We'll take photos of that...

...and print it in every newspaper possible.

Votes will pile in heaps. -We don't know.....

I've arranged everything. Let me get you the porridge.

Don't barge into an empty house. I have two more streets to go.

He's a real pain. -Drink it up!

Take our photo. It should be out big tomorrow.

Thieves! Why did you enter my house? Who are you?

Can't you hear me? Answer me Wretched men!

You drank up whatever porridge I had saved for myself.

Thieves! You'll rot in hell! You're like a buffalo!

Why can't you work hard and look for food?

You drank my porridge! Are you brainless?

Why do you make us starve? Scum!

Sesame oil, kerosene, castor oil,...

...so what if my opponent loses?

His symbol is a lamp!

If the wind blows, you'll be out.

If the wind blows we'll fly high in the sky.

We'll fly even if our tail or string snaps.

With wind as our ally, we'll fly and touch the sky.

If you vote for Anbu,...

...for example, play the video.

Our land that is dry...

...will transform into a lush green land.

You changed our green pastures into dry and brown lands. Fools!

Send them out! -Get out!

Volunteers from the opposition camp have barged in.

So I request our boys to send them out.

A big shot asked, "Why have you ruined a good town?"

They beat him up and sent him to a hospital.

Uncle and son are looting our town.

Violence, bloodshed, paid panchayat, rowdyism,...

...murder, suicide, should they do all these?

All of you remember to vote. Thanks and greetings.

Please take your seat.

What he said was, our Anbu will win with a maximum margin.

Obama has prophesied this.

They claim that foreign boy is Obama's PA.

Let me share the honest truth about that boy.

He came here to see Suruli Hills.....

What do they call them?

Tourist. -Yes, tourist.

They grabbed his passport and sent him in circles.

Pity that boy. They claim he is Obama's right hand.

But they don't know his parents are looking for him.

The lioness has entered the enemy's den.

Stop the car! -They are too much!

She is your sister who has a genuine law degree,...

...the Jhansi Rani of South India. She will address you now.

Why are you standing behind a female?

To protect her from scum like you.

Go ahead, talk.

Till now, no one has come from our party to ask for votes from you.

We haven't let anyone in. -We are here now.

I believe you will vote according to one's capability...

...and not discriminate based on caste.

Are there good schools here for your children to study?

Shouldn't your kids study and secure good jobs outside our town?

No need. -Of course they should.

Without discrimination, regard me as one of you and vote for me.

For sure.

For atrocity to end, for peace to spread,...

...vote for the lamp.

You're the only politician to woo an opposing candidate.

Did you see how she kept waving at me?

Dream on! To get votes, she's waving at everyone.

You're taking her gesture so seriously.

Won't you say a few nice words just to make me feel good?

Having you with me is a liability.

Didn't she wave to me? -Yes, she did.

Tell him. -We'll win.

Is this crowd enough? -Do you want more?

Cast your votes for our kite symbol.

Stop! We'll address them from here.

Why did you stop here? They are looking at us.

That girl came to our area to ask for votes.

Shouldn't we have the same guts she has?

That is why I asked him to stop here.

I haven't come here to solicit votes.

That's common knowledge.

Whatever you think happened with my knowledge,...

...all that happened without my knowledge.

Cast aside the anger you feel against me for a moment...

...and think deeply. You'll get enlightened.

I don't know what more to add. I'm hoping you'll understand.

I end my speech with this, thank you.

Ask for votes, we came here for that.

Greetings to all.

Vote for the lamp symbol.

Our symbol is kite.

I meant in Telugu. Shut up! -Great!

Lamp is our symbol!

Can I announce? Have you double checked?

We checked. Go ahead and announce.

At the end of the last round, Anbuchelvan won 24100 votes.

Sailaja, his opponent won 24101 votes.

She wins with a margin of one vote.

You lost by one vote, get going!

This land that made Kamaraj lose hasn't spared you.

Get lost! -Uncle wants me!

Come on! Show your strength. Justice has won after 20 years.

Ask the police to drive them out. Not one of them should be around.

What's your problem now? -They cheated us.

You think we'll lose by a vote? -True.

No one can cheat that way. It's all electronics now.

Ask them to count once more! -Will you shut up?

They are big time frauds. What?

You're a first timer, so they cheated. Quiet!

They'll keep yelling this way. You go in, I'll handle this.

You can't go in.

Listen, you can't go in.

Congratulations. -Thanks.

Even if I won, to make my dreams come true,...

...I need your cooperation. -You don't even have to ask.

My cooperation will always be there.

Aren't you feeling sad you lost? -I never wanted to win.

I'm very happy you won.

But I'm only sad you never understood me till the end.

What makes you say that? Of course I know.

Even though I was mad at you, you didn't hold grudges,...

...you came to my area and said it all.

I've said everything, but you're keeping mum.

I told you I understood you. How else do I make it obvious?

So do you agree? -I won only in the election,...

...but you won my heart.

Say one name at a time. How am I to write so fast?

I don't want to forget anyone. Okay, write.

Where are you going? The wedding is in a week.

I'm going to see Sukanya, mom. -You don't have to go anywhere.

Ask her to come here. -Mom!

If she wants to go to the temple, will you ask God to come here?

How silly! -If some guy sees her outside...

...and talks ill about her like the way you blabbered,...

...what do we do then? -We shouldn't suspect our girl.

If you don't trust me, send uncle along with me.

That sounds like a plan. -Come along, uncle.

Let's go. -What will I tell my husband...

...if he asks where she is? -Tell him I'm chaperoning her.

Careful, don't dash into the flower stall.

Why did you stop here? -I need to buy a garland?

For what? -My friend's wedding.

I promised to get the garlands. -Why can't they buy?

I volunteered to buy the garlands on behalf of the bride.

You take responsibility for everything. What am I here for?

Greetings. -Greetings. How much is a garland?

Rs100. -Two garlands?

Rs200. -I'll come back and pay you.

Speed up. The auspicious time may end.

They'll be waiting for the garlands.

Stop talking, just get down. -Why are you here?

Not going to the wedding hall? -No, uncle.

Is your friend getting married without her parent's knowledge?

Not really, her uncle knows. -Then it's fine.

I thought maybe the uncle is kept out of the picture.

Where is your friend? -Here he is.

Hello, sir, greetings. -Is he the groom? Who's the bride?

Me of course. -You? What are you saying?

Vino, I hope no one saw you. -No one did.

My uncle brought me safe and sound, right?

I brought you here? Are you pulling a fast one?

Then who brought me? Who bought the garlands?

Useless girl!

If your father gets angry, he'll smack then and there.

But you're taking revenge after so long.

Thanks, uncle.

Thanks. -You're going to die.

Do you have a phone? -You didn't get me one.

No one will even believe me. My phone is in my pocket.

I forgot. I'll be right back. -He might call your.....

Keep your distance. -Get lost!

What if he calls your father? -Won't you listen to me?

Yes, uncle?

Anbu, Vinodhini is going to marry Satish without my knowledge.

What are you saying? -I swear this is true, trust me.

Please come immediately to the registrar's office.

If I don't tell my brother-in-law, he'll chop me to pieces.

We've been duped! -Fill in the register.

Are you the man who gets these runaway-lovers married?

What do you think of yourself? -I only think of Vino.

Don't shout and bring the whole town here.

Your father wants you to be married in front of the town.

You want to get married? Wait till Anbu comes.

Vino, come this side. Your uncle.....

Not only did she get married behind our back,...

...she made me buy the garland. -When she asked to buy them,...

...did the cat get your tongue? Why didn't you call us?

I told you she fooled us. Ask her about it.

Her uncle.....

Give me the garland.

Hold it.

You're encouraging them instead of ending it.

Even if she hadn't taken this decision,...

...I would have got them both married.

If I weigh my uncle's prestige versus my sister's happiness,...

...her life wins hands down. Exchange the garlands.

That's it! -Who will sign as witness?

I will. -Please think...

...he has signed.

Another witness? -Uncle!

Not me!

Hope it doesn't get worse. What trouble will she brew?

He's the one who.....

No one is here to make trouble? Come with me!

Is this a sudden plan or a premeditated one?

What's your hassle? -You did this rashly.

Do you know the repercussions if your uncle finds out?

I'm ready to face the consequence. -Fine, we don't want to be hit.

Have we ever done any good deed till now?

Let our first good deed be for my sister's benefit.

If your uncle finds out, he will chop you to pieces.

You'll be the first to die, you chaperoned her.

Looks like you'll join hands and make me the scapegoat.

Why are you flustered? Keep quiet, I'll handle it.

He has come? He yaps non-stop!

Look at the groom, he looks like a warrior.

Father! -Give me your hand!

Congratulations! I wanted to do it, but you did it.

Whole town knows you don't have the guts.

They just brag, no action. You tossed our enemy's dignity.

Why are you grinning? -Good Lord!

Your uncle is here. -Hell will break loose now.

The girl's father is here. Welcome.

I'm leaving. Bring Vino home safe and sound.

Before we came, they got married. -Why are you scared?

Nowadays, even a bad man leads a comfortable life.

You're bad by nature. So only bad things will befall you.

Your sister has eloped! -Shut up!

Keep quiet! -How dare you kidnap our girl.

And now, you're being arrogant. I'll thrash all of you.....

Keep quiet! No one eloped, no one was forced.

They married on their own will, don't create any problem.

Let them have that pleasure. You lost your position.

Now you lost your daughter and your dignity.

Why do you keep yelling?

You'll pounce whenever anyone falls in love.

You humiliated me when my son ran away with your daughter.

Now it really happened. Why are you standing silently?

Are you ashamed?

Why don't you get a rope and hang yourself?

Take whatever action you need to according to law.

Hold on! -They can only yell.

It's so silent like watching a horror film.

When lovers elope, this man will wander in a murderous rage.

Now it is his own daughter who has got married.

Wonder what he'll do. -I'm trembling in fear too.

Am I not acting like I'm confident? Do the same.

They abducted our girl because his daughter is the chairman.

If we ignore this, we'll lose our respect.

Just say so, we'll kill the entire family during the temple festival.

I meant it as a figure of speech, he has agreed.

Shut up!

Anbu, I'm ashamed because of my daughter.

I want him to be disgraced too because of his daughter.

Bring his girl here and marry her.

How can I marry a girl from that family?

I know you wouldn't be in favour, but do what I say.

Get married to her. Let us challenge him.

In the history of Indian cinema, your uncle is the first...

...villain to unite the hero and heroine.

How majestic!

Your uncle wants to kill? -I can't tell you that now.

Meet me at the temple at 6 am tomorrow.

We'll talk in person. -I can't come, tell me right now.

To take revenge on your family,...

...my uncle is making huge plans. -Your uncle is being smart?

Will you meet me tomorrow or not?

Okay, but why so early in the morning?

Will it be decent if I call you at night?

Whatever happens, I'll see you at 6 am tomorrow. Okay?

Put the phone down. -Okay, see you tomorrow.

I'll marry you tomorrow.

What is this? -Don't be scared, he's Bill.

His face flashes at night, so I blackened his face.

How do you like my idea?

How do I kidnap that girl with them?

Okay, fine. Why were you late? -I had to iron my dhoti.

Are we here to look at a bride for you?

We're here to kidnap a girl.

Some of us have forgotten to wear our underwear.

You ironed your dhoti? This can be an action block.

Or the usual comedy. Be prepared for everything.

Are we doing the right thing? -Who knows!

Boy, have you ever seen me bend my head in disgrace?

I have. -I didn't ask you.

I'm asking you. -No, so we can assume.

I bowed my head in disgrace at the registrar's office yesterday.

Our own friend changed after splitting so many lovers.

Why shouldn't we change?

We owe it to him to kidnap his girl and unite her with him.

What do you mean? -No time now to explain.

Finally we've been pushed into kidnapping a girl.

Don't feel bad.

At 6 am, she will step out to draw the kolam at her porch.

We'll grab her then and drive away in the car.

If she screams? -Whisper 'silence'.

Stay there, don't fall into the gutter. Watch your step.

Pull your dhoti together. -It's because I ironed it.

Don't ring the neighbour's bell. Come over here.

Hide now, come out when I ask you to.

Tell me when she comes out, I'll grab her.

We planned everything neatly, she fainted.

I know how tough it is to kidnap a girl only now.

So heavy! -Careful, my skin might peel.

Why is he calling me at this hour?

Yes? -Seized successfully.

What did you seize? -Instead of who,...

...he's asking what? We got your girl, Sailaja.

Come and make her your wife. This is my gift to you.

Why did you kidnap her? -We can't kidnap her mother.

Isn't Sailaja your girlfriend? -Sailaja loves me.

She was going to meet me at the temple, I'm waiting for her.

Why did you interfere? -Sailaja is in love with you?

Why didn't you tell us this earlier?

Why didn't you tell me you were going to kidnap her?

You'd tell us you love her if we tell you we plan to kidnap her?

Where are you now? -Tree shop.

What? -In our timber depot.

Be right there, I'm coming.

Fools! You've tied her up too tight.

Give me some water! Don't stand like a statue!

God, container! -Moron, why did you kidnap me?

You're educated, right?

I wanted to meet you at the temple, you agreed.

Then why would I kidnap you? All thanks to this fool.....

And you joined hands with him. -Why did you kidnap me?

What? When you were on your way to meet him, we gave you a lift.

At 6 am, you left with your face layered in makeup.

Did we kidnap you? Sit down!

My uncle asked me to kidnap and marry you.

I asked you to meet me so that I can tell this to you.

But these fools were too hasty.....

Anbu is here. Let's come back later.

Right. Shall we come back two days later?

Wherever we go, there are hurdles!

Have you finished reading paper? Get down! We have a purpose!

Anbu, do you remember us? We cut your limbs and forehead.

I will first slice your tongue.

They got themselves trapped at the right spot.

A lamp that's about to extinguish will glow bright.

The gate was open, why did you break in?

My boss never breaks anything with permission.

Today he did it with permission.

He's going to smack you now.

You're not even in my list, fatso.

Anbu, is this revenge? -Not like that.

Then what is this called?

Wind will ask me permission before it touches Shailu.

How dare you touch and kidnap her!

How can you lift her without touching her?

Listen to me for a moment.

I'm not one of your boys to listen to you.

I'm Shailu's fiance.

I hope these rowdies didn't manhandle you.

He's acting like a joker. Don't react to his nonsense.

I won't mess with any of them. You're my only target.

Will you listen to me for a moment?

You don't have to say a word.

"I'll give you five minutes, finish these boys and take me away."

Isn't this what you wanted to say?

You've seen me stand, walk and run.

You have even watched me sleep.

But have you seen me fight? Sit in a corner and watch.

What's happening here, why are you playing the fool?

I'm playing the game you began!

I'll begin and win the game.

He is acting over smart.

Leave him! -He didn't hit you.

You haven't seen the old Mahesh Babu, right?

Go and roll in the mud, I'll see you as a grubby old man.

Thrash him! -Why are you pouncing on me?

Come on!

All of them are busy fighting. Why are you lifting me?

Put me down!

Go!

Shailu, only four minutes left.

We got cheated. -I normally get cheated.

Now you're saying you got cheated. -Anbu and Sailaja are in love.

They are in love?

He'll marry her after we kidnap her? That's enough for me.

My nephew is truly a lion.

Like uncle, like nephew!

Another three minutes left.

He breaks all barriers without permission?

Take this with pleasure. -Hey!

What? Respect is important. Or I'll smack you.

Uncle!

You might get hurt, move aside. -Nutty uncle, listen to me.

I won't because there is only two minutes left

Get lost!

Anbu, he's my brother.

Really? Sorry, don't get in my way.

Will all your relatives be henchmen all their lives?

Your family lacks even the slightest decency.

You're talking about decency? -Why waste time talking to her?

Marry her. -What's that?

My uncle has helped us knowingly or unknowingly.

We won't get a better chance than this either.

So you'll marry me in this crooked way?

If two people are willing, you said it is a mature love.

I did say that. -Then what?

Pray to God.

He has married Sailaja over there.

Don't hit your husband, God will be annoyed.

Let's pray.

Wrap up your game. Hey, blue shirt!

Hey, fool! -I'll handle this.

Uncle! -Why are you here?

Sit in the car, I'll join you shortly.

Uncle! Can't you hear me?

Only one minute late. Why did you hit me?

Are you mad or what? Do you think you're Mahesh Babu?

No? -Anbu and I loved each other.

Now we have got married. -What?

Hello, uncle. -What's all these?

I should be the one asking.

They were minding their own business.

You provoked him at the registrar's office...

...and instigated them. So he married Sailaja.

After everything is over, you ask me what's going on.

Let's go.

When the groom's side has accepted them,...

...won't the bride's side agree? -Let's get father's blessing.

Move! -Bless the couple, uncle.

Get blessings from your brother-in-law too.

Fatso, don't add fuel. -Bless us.

I won't bless you. -Please!

Look what happened in the end. -End?

This was how it was from the beginning.

We knew the climax rather late.

Brother? -Yes?

He took your girl.

Will you at least pull the chariot tomorrow?

Before I pull the chariot, I'll punch you.

You muddled me up by calling her sister-in-law.

Get lost!

You always sit in front. I wasn't saying anything, uncle.

Where did you go? -Don't add fuel to fire.

I was shouting for help, all of you ignored me.

The fool lifted me and stripped me of my dhoti.

Everything is solved. -Really?

The biggest problem is about to start.

Tomorrow is the chariot festival. They always pick on us.

After this problem, both sides will be so angry.

How will you sort this..... -Don't talk too much.

Come to the temple festival and see for yourself tomorrow.

Looks like it will end in violence this time.

I anticipated this.

In my present condition, I don't want to get hit on my head again.

Give it to me.

Is he playing cricket? -I'm prepared this year.

I'll definitely pull the chariot. -How, sir?

Those who were creating the problem are willing to support.

Welcome, sir.

Anbu, will everything go as per our plan?

I'm taking risk because of you. -You're here as our Collector.

What bigger risk can you take? Follow our plan.

I'll manage the rest. -Let me repeat my statement.

This temple was built by my ancestors.

We should be given the honours to pull the chariot.

Right, uncle?

Maybe they built the temple, but this property belongs to us.

Can I speak this time?

We own the 18 villages around this area.

At one point, my family ruled this land.

Family that ruled the land should be given the honours.

That is our tradition.

So you're not willing to give up our tradition?

The Collector must be right. -What's right in what he said?

Did you rule at a stretch? We ruled too.

We ruled as much as you did. -Stop it!

Only those who ruled should pull the chariot?

I'll ensure only those who ruled will pull the chariot this year.

What injustice! When we locals are here,...

...you're asking foreigners to pull the chariot?

Foreigners, leave!

A tourist cannot become a temple chariot puller.

This is so unfair. -You're talking of being unfair.

It has been more than 60 years since the British left India.

Even he has stopped bragging about ruling us.

You are not capable of pulling a chariot in unity.

What are you going to achieve?

In our democratic country, every voter is a ruler.

I'll give you 5 minutes. Join hands and pull the chariot.

Or I'll tell the foreigners to pull.

The whites will pull the chariot.

And we'll sell Popsicle in the crowd?

If they want to pull, ask them to push the road roller.

Will you shut up? We can solve our problem later.

If the foreigners pull the chariot, who will be humiliated?

This Collector seems to be oblivious of that.

So I'm asking you to pull, do it.

This year, all of us will pull the chariot in unison.

Are you okay with this? -How can it be okay?

Then let's join hands then. -Come on, pull the chariot.

Pray and pull the temple chariot.

May this chariot always be pulled every year.

Dude, not me. -It's okay, pull, I'll handle it.
