Original subtitles

The events of a single

day in a man's life.

Small acts of

kindness you could’ve

done if you were brave enough.

Courage that might have

shown if you were ever tested.

The kind of diseases he’d have

caught, if he were susceptible.

The shame you’d have faced if

you kept putting

up with disrespect…

These sum up his life.

We don’t need to know

what his tomorrow holds.

Because for him,

just like for you and me…

…tomorrow is just another day.

TIRUPUR

TONIGHT

[phone rings]

Hello?

Got the number of that

Syed you mentioned?

He tossed his

phone into a well, sir.

Sir, he’s tormenting me.

I’m afraid to stay

home with my kid.

He ran off before

we called you.

He was so drunk.

And dressed like a cop.

He showed up at our

place with a plan in hand.

Look into it and

you’ll know.

Look what he did to the ATM!

Have you seen him before?

No!

He wore a police uniform, had

curly hair, and

appeared so dirty, sir.

Had a beard and moustache…

He was in some kind of uniform.

There was a scar

by his eye, madam.

Ask Syed who lives with him,

you’ll get his photo.

Did you see that, madam?

It's 12 AM

and an unknown number's calling.

I'm sure it's him.

Ask her to put it on speaker.

Don’t tell me.

I’ll do it myself.

Here, madam.

Veni, it's Santha Kumar.

Did you eat?

See?!

Are you sad that…

I fed you cake and you

had to push me away?

I know you did it because your

useless husband was right there.

That's alright!

I’ll endure anything for you.

Oh, the fun we had in college.

Did you forget it all?

Hey, why are you doing this?

We only studied

together in college,

that’s all we had in common.

You, moron!

That’s all we had in common?!

Why are you saying this?

You were so good

to me in college.

I won’t forget that.

See this, madam.

Even now,

I want

to die thinking of you.

That's why I'm at

the junction bridge.

In a while, I'll cry out

your name thrice and

embrace death in peace!

Don't cry, just die!

Veni, since you asked me to,

I'm jumping now.

Should I jump now?

Jump already, idiot.

You’re driving me crazy.

Why would you?

Listen, Veni. I'd

be better off dead.

Also, take care of your child.

It’s me.

I just want to talk to you.

Do you know how many

times I'd talk like this?

I’d call you ‘Veni,

Veni’ with love.

You remember, right?

Back in college,

we were truly happy.

I like you!

I like you so much, Veni.

Veni, I'm taking the dive now.

I'm going to jump.

Hey!

Who is it?

Hey, let's go.

Come with us.

Sir, wait. What did I do?

What did I do?!

Hello.

TIRUPUR, TODAY

6:37 AM Hello, Kumar?

Kumar…?

Dear!

Wish you a happy birthday!

I went to the

temple this morning.

I even met our astrologer.

Your stars are shining bright.

Everything’s going to

go your way from today!

Indian politics is

crawling with parties.

But they are not parties,

just businesses in disguise.

And in the middle of all

this, I have to get married.

You're getting married?

Is that why you’re

talking this way?

Can’t anyone

here flush properly?

You guys know how to smoke,

but not how to put it out?

Of course, I have to do it all.

It's 8:45 AM or 7:45 AM.

This is a heavenly match.

[indistinct chatter on TV]

Syed?

Tell me.

Mind lending me a thousand?

My salary hasn’t come in yet.

I’ll settle it once it hits.

Get my shoes from

the cupboard, will you?

Hey, I was just asking for help!

Seeing this huge crowd…

We’re going to our towns

once work’s done today.

Okay!

Come with me to the

ATM, I’ll get you the money.

I can’t stand crowds like this!

There’s some cash near the TV.

Put in your thousand

and pay the rent.

Harish…

can you lend me a thousand?

Since when do you make

money for me to take?

Look who's acting rich!

Is that so?

Did you eat?

Guess what's inside?

You do know that’s booze, right?

We'll return all high.

Are you ever going

to make money?

Enough with the

money talk already.

I’ve got nothing,

so let’s not go there.

You keep saying this.

Might as well

rob a bank for you.

Or I’ll have to snatch

jewelry from people.

No one asked you to.

You could try a job

instead of all this.

All you do is ramble.

Why don't you zip it?!

Yeah, while I zip it,

you just sip booze.

[protest chants] Shut it down.

Shut down the Tasmac!

[protest chants] Shut it down.

Shut down the Tasmac!

Let's say no to Tasmac!

Let's say no to Tasmac!

Shut down the Tasmac!

Shut down the Tasmac!

Let's say no to Tasmac!

Let's say no to Tasmac!

Let's say no to…

Brother!

Let the vehicles go.

Go on!

Get going.

Don’t crowd.

Go ahead.

Clear everyone.

What’re you staring at?

Just get going.

Go on!

Shut down!

Shut down!

Greetings!

Greetings.

Greetings, sir.

Buddy, did you get your salary?

Yes, I did.

Alright!

How many pieces

do you stitch in a day?

Roughly 30 to 34, sir.

Are the UPC labels

printed properly?

Yes, they are, sir.

The ordinary ones?

Those as well.

Why don't you sew 30 more?

Sure, sir.

Yes, Sathya.

Happy birthday!

What are you up to?

I’m at work.

Did you get your salary?

Hand me the phone, ma!

Pass the phone to Darshini.

You can talk to her later.

Answer me.

I’ll get my salary tomorrow.

Hold on. Let me

talk to him first.

I’ll wire it to you by morning.

Why is it always

money when you call?

What do you mean

'always money!'

You’re acting like I owe you.

If it weren’t for me,

you and your kids would

be out on the streets!

We're already struggling

to pay the school fee,

and now she wants money

for horse riding classes.

What’s she even

going to do with it?

Sir, my

salary's

not credited yet.

It should've by now.

No, sir.

Is there a problem?

Kumar, come in.

Sir.

Manager, her and Kumar…

stay back. Everyone

else can leave.

Hey!

Sir…

[chants prayer]

Guess you're

getting an increment.

[prayer chants continue]

I’ve not eaten

since this morning.

Go on.

You, brainless jerk!

Sir?

You’re paid every month

to do your job, aren’t you?

So why the hell are you

causing confusion at work?

Huh?!

I’m the MD here because

I make the decisions on…

who does what!

Also, a Manager is here because…

I’m paying them to tell

you how and what to do.

Get it?

No, sir. He

Hey!

How dare you defy me!

Listen,

you don’t control

who does what here.

That’s for the

Managers to handle.

Your job is to show up

on time, do what's given,

and leave without a word.

Hey!

You’re not shy to ask for your

salary if it’s delayed, are you?

Then shut up and do

as you’re told, you moron.

Soninlaw…

Brother?

Brother…

I wasn’t scared,

I just didn’t know

who to talk to.

This place is new to me,

so I told you.

I didn’t mean for

you to bring it up.

I just wanted

someone who’d listen.

Isn’t this all my fault?

Please don’t skip your food.

Eat something.

That's okay.

You go on.

Cooking?

I’d only know if

I actually did it!

Sir, you’ve never

cooked in your life?

I'm a great eater

but a terrible cook.

I've got women like you

to take care of the cooking!

Why should I even care?

Won’t you ladies cook for me?

Thanks for calling PMB Bank.

Sir…

My salary?

Mmm?

Huh?

Tell me.

I've deposited the money.

Alright. I'll check

and let you know.

Bro! Over here!

A 130 rupees bottle, please.

Give me a pint.

I've got only half pints.

That's fine.

Here you go.

[phone vibrates]

Gosh!

So annoying!

["Aluguraen kulungraen" from

"Chandiveeran

movie" plays on TV]

Mani?

What's up, man?

Remember Veni, our collegemate?

Veni?

Krishnaveni.

Yeah?

Give me her number?

Veni's number?

Why do you need her number?

What are you going to do?

Just give it, man.

Forget her.

I have Sathya's number.

Do you want that?

Alright, alright.

Do as you wish.

But don't tell her that

I gave the number.

Share it soon.

[song continues]

Krishnaveni?

Yeah.

Who's this?

I'm Kumar.

Kumar?

Which Kumar?

Santha Kumar.

Santha Kumar?

Yeah. Got our number

from Mani.

We're from the same college.

I knew the minute

I heard your name.

I was pulling your leg.

What's with the surprise call?

It's just… I felt

like it, ma'am.

Drop the titles.

Got it?

How have you been?

Are you well?

It's been three years

since we last spoke.

Yeah. It should be.

How is Sathya?

Hmm.

Dharshini? Vedha?

Yeah.

Stop saying that, man.

Say something other than that.

So?

Where are you now?

Tiruppur.

Oh!

Veni, shall I tell

you something?

What is that?

It's my birthday today.

Hey! Happy birthday!

Gosh! I totally forgot.

The last time I wished

you was back in college.

I got you a doll

with a swing in it.

Do you remember?

Then, I got you a

red Honda tshirt.

Remember?

Veni.

Shall I tell you something else?

What is it now?

I love you.

Are you drunk?

How did you…

Your tone gives it away.

I waited two years in

college… I'll

talk to you later.

Don't call me.

I'll call you.

Veni…

Venu…

Who were you talking to?

Office call.

Did you get the message?

I did.

How much did you get?

What do you mean?

I wired you ten thousand.

The rent's 1000 rupees.

I have three thousand.

What happened to the rest?

What's your problem?

You want me to tell how

much I gave my mother, right?

You know already.

Why won't you just say it?

You told you sent

me ten thousand,

and the thousand

you paid for rent.

Why hide the fact that

you sent your mom money?

You… what the hell do you want?

Hell?

Do one thing. Do not call me.

Give this ten thousand

to your mother.

Give your entire salary to her.

With your kids, I'll di

Sir…

Sir, wait.

One minute.

What is it?

The rent's 5,200 rupees and,

four of us are staying here.

Water charge is 120 rupees.

There's enough

water in the toilet.

With the fan and light… the

electric bill is 380 rupees.

Upkeep fee's 300?

Maintenance charge, son.

I get it…

but why should I pay that?

You ask like you're new here.

Forget it.

Where's Syed?

Is he the only one paying rent?

Am I not paying?

Why should I pay money

to care for your house?

Also, we live on the terrace.

Move.

Shanthi sister!

Sister?

Why are you calling her?

Wait. Calm down.

Sister?

Can't you hear me? Stop it.

I'll pay you two hundred more.

Would you mind

washing my toilets too?

Me?

Stop this nonsense.

Let Syed come here.

You better vacate the house.

None of you should be here.

Why the hell should I vacate?

Huh?

How dare you swear

at your owner?

I swear at anything

that's not proper.

Where are you from?

Who do you think you are

to kick me out of the house?

Where am I from?

You're the one who's here

when you couldn't

afford to pay rent there!

I can't believe I built a

house, rented a portion of it,

only to be insulted by you.

Like the houseowners at your

place don't charge at random.

You think everything's

for free? Such

a peabrain.

You think you can belittle me?

I'll whack you. Don't you dare!

Piss off, will you?

What guts you've got there?!

Get lost!

Such a jerk.

Idiot. Scoundrel.

That's me.

All of you are cheats.

Oh, shut up.

I regret it all.

Regret even more.

Horrible idiots.

Buzz off already.

Get lost.

You get lost!

Did you notice

his tone, Shanthi?

Bring me your phone.

This guy is unbelievable!

Syed, I want him to

leave immediately.

All of you can, actually, if

you don't like to be here.

I'll call the Police if not.

Sir, that won't be

Why involve the police, sir?

He's breaking

bottles at my doorstep!

I let him stay only because you

asked. Yet, he behaves unruly!

I'll talk to him, sir.

As if he's a god sent angel

to give me a place

here out of pittance.

Get your hands off him! Now!

Hang on, hang on.

Hear me out.

No, don't. Don't do it.

It's because of

crazy people like you

that we can't even

have our relatives over.

Wha… Did you hear that, Syed?

What are you coddling him for?

Let me talk to him, sir.

Oh, hey, Syed!

Listen to me.

Screw you!

You threw it away? Are

you out of your mind?

You're a handful, you know?

Get the other phone, Shanthi.

Yeah, right. Move.

Hurry, hurry! We must

inform the police right away.

Call the FBI too for all I care.

Owner, it seems.

Gosh, what does he want?

Hello?

What, man?

You love eating my

brains, don't you?

It only been an hour

since I left and you've

I'm an educated

senior citizen, sir.

But he spoke to

me like I'm a child!

It's best that you

come and deal with him!

AYUDHA POOJA SPECIAL GET

TWO EGGS FREE FOR ONE QUATER

Got it from the government.

Haven’t even opened it

Can you give me

a 1000 bucks for it?

Piss off, will you?

I'm already washing down

my sorrows with alcohol.

Who does he think he

is to deny you a home?

You've got mine.

My wife will treat

you like royalty.

And you're all upset

like this is a big deal.

Come on, man.

" Here’s my share,

and here’s yours! "

Drink up, my boy.

The chef's special, right?

Yes, bro.

Owner's creation.

Of course, he proves

he's an MGR fan.

Hang on, come here.

What's the matter?

What's this?

Egg, of course.

Am I blind or did

you just assume I

was? I do know

that! Look at its size!

Look at this, man.

You're going to

gobble it up anyway.

You seem to be standing

for long. What's up?

This is an unopened

government's freebie.

What's inside?

A grinder.

Can I trade this

for a 1000 bucks?

That'll do?

For now, yeah.

Who hurt you enough to make

you trade this for a few bucks?

He's 13 years old…

Who is?

My son.

Okay…

A bright boy.

One day, I get a call from his

school. They said

he came, drunk.

Do you even know

how that made me feel?

It shattered me.

I'll be right with you. Wait

for me over there. I promise.

Off you go.

You'll come, right?

Of course, man! Go!

You know how it feels to beg for

money after slogging

an entire month?

I feel worse than

someone with nothing.

I don't even deserve to live.

You know, inner peace is like

currency. It’s a state of being.

One day, it's in your control

or mine.

Now tell me, who's

in charge of yours?

Isn't it your manager

who's sound asleep?

Why don't you yell

your heart out to him?

And watch how…

…quickly you find peace.

I bet!

My wife wanted to

get an MRI scan done.

I'm running short of 1000 bucks.

I don't know what

to do about it.

Hey, why, man?!

Love you, my man!

Also…

Yeah?

I'm planning to stop drinking.

Good. Been there,

done that a few times.

Hey, you with the grinder!

Where are you, man?

Can you help me trade this?

You own a grinder, right?

Yes, the one in your hands.

One bite for you.

Want some more?

Here you go.

Hey, man?

Yeah…

Santha Kumar on the line, sir.

What is it, man?

You never pick up our calls,

yet, you expect us

to take yours at once.

So what?

"The master control

the strings of my

puppet, making it

dance to your will."

You’ve heard of it, right?

I bet you haven’t!

Hello, sir?

The heck. Are you drunk?

I pity those guys.

They turn up for work,

clenching their teeth.

Listen…

Hey!

Do you need an hour more

to make me two parottas?

Make it fast, brother.

What the heck's

your problem now?

Blathering in the

middle of the night…

Either, you work for me

or you pack up and leave.

Who are you to give me options?

Such a god awful

company that is.

What was that?

Step in and you're done for.

You think I'll come?

Shut up, you bozo!

What did you say?

Give me a minute.

What is his problem

that he's honking away?!

You, dipsh

Eh?

They're sleeping

peacefully and I'm on a call…

And you'd honk

away as you please?

Hello? Still on the line, sir?

No more disturbances.

What happened?

Hey!

You, idiot!

Why did you break my glass?

Why did you do that?!

Hang on.

[all] Why on earth

would you do that?

Whoa! Hang on, folks.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

[all] Whoop him up! He'll

then come to his senses!

Why did you throw

that rock? Answer me!

Hang on! Let's talk it out!

Please. Let's solve this.

Wait, wait. Let me get up.

Whoa, whoa.

On your feet!

Give me a minute.

Wait, bro. I'll ring

up to the Police.

I said, wait! I'm

being decent here.

Don't involve them

now. Take your hands off.

Why? For you to run away, is it?

I'm high as a kite. So

you can take my word.

I won't. Trust me.

Believe me.

[all] He's getting away!

Catch him! That slippery eel!

Beat him to a pulp

when you get him!

Stop running!

Hey!

I'm out of breath!

Stop there! Stop!

Look at that rat slipping away!

Hurry, guys! We must catch him!

You don't need people.

You need puppets!

You forgot your watch.

Cake.

No one ordered

here. Please leave.

Cake, Venu…

Are you deaf or are you acting?

I just told you no one's here!

You've got the wrong house.

Hang on.

Venu dear?

Can you even hear me?

Veni?

Veni?

["Alunguraen kulungaraen"

from "Chandi Veeran" plays]

It's Veni, brother.

Why's he here?

Hi, Veni dear!

You haven't told him who I am?

You know something? She's

only been your

wife for 10 years.

But, for me…

We're friends.

Thickest of friends!

Come, let's cut cake!

What the heck? Out

of my house, now!

Out, now!

Hang on.

Wait a minute, bro.

Who's this drunkard?

Go on. Tell me!

I'm going to open it.

And I opened it. Tada!

It's my birthday today, Venu.

Didn't I tell you

over the phone?

He said what?

How dare you call her so dearly?

Are you going to

tell me who he is?

She and I have been

friends from college.

It's my birthday

today, by the way.

She wanted to see me.

You did?!

Did you? Did you?!

Can you hear me out fully?

She wanted to cut a cake for me.

Why must she cut for your sake?

Take that and get out of here!

Her love…

I will murder you!

Get out of my house!

Ugh, give me a break.

Why did you have to be hasty?

I was about to be on my

way after she cuts the cake.

Now, all the bakeries

will be closed.

Here, you can take this pipe.

It’s got a sweet taste.

Is he out of his mind?

He wants me to put

some rubbish in my mouth.

I want you out, now!

Get out!

Oh, calm down,

will you?

I had planned so much, you know?

She'll feed me,

and I'll feed her.

And then, we'll

feed you together…

But you ruined it all.

The heck?!

All's gone.

You nuthead.

I'm her husband, goddamnit!

What the heck is

happening here?

Hey, there.

You look just like Veni.

Give me a minute.

What the hell is he doing?

Hey, cutie pie.

Tell me. Who is he, really?

Get up and get out!

I was only coddling him…

Dear, get your hands off him!

He'll leave if I say so.

What did you just say to me?

You didn't get

angry when he asked

me to put that god

awful thing in my mouth

but you're angry for

raising my hand at him?

How did he get here?

Out with the truth. Now!

Hear me out, dear

You! Nope.

Call your Dad at once.

Call him now!

Stop yelling, dear!

I'm freaking out.

Just listen to

what I have to say.

What are you up to

over there, dumb head?

I don't have the right to

feed him cake too, huh?

Ask him to get

out. Tell him. Now!

Get out, will you?!

Cut it out and tell me

why are you sobbing?

It was for him, not you.

Get. Out. Now!

Oh, for God's sake!

Bugging me to get out…

God, I'm this close to…

Didn't lock after me?

You dumb dodo! Get out!

Veni!

Get out! Come here again,

and I'll kill you!

Get in, woman.

He's being violent.

How did he come here?

Can you hear me out, dear?

to grant me my last wish."

Yours sincerely, R.

Santha Kumar B. A. History.

[all] Hey, get out

of here! Out! Now!

Don't beat him up. Spare him.

Let him be. Please.

Don't beat him. For my sake.

Listen to me and spare him.

Hang on, hang on.

Please.

"Whoever amongst you is holy

may throw the

first stone at me."

Oh, you're Gandhi,

now? Bash him!

Spare him, guys.

That’s not Gandhi,

that was Jesus, dude!

Singaram, calm down!

Why won't you listen to me?!

All of you, get out.

Go on, listen to him.

Go on, go on.

You too, get out.

Singaram, please.

All of you, go out!

He's just a drunkard blathering…

This is my letter.

Did you deserve this?

Do you think it's just you

who goes through all this?

Getting drunk and being loud

doesn't mean that you are brave.

Try looking at yourself in

the mirror when you get sober.

You would be disgusted.

Does your mom know…

that you're all drunk

creating ruckus?

Guess how the others see you?

Look.

They're looking at

you like you're crap.

The sober me has far

better pep talks than you.

You'll understand

not when you run.

But when you trip and fall.

Come.

I'll drop you wherever

you want to go.

At the wine shop

near the old bus stand.

Please, bro.

Drop me.

Don't drink too much.

No, I only had a little.

Alright!

Someone once told me.

poison is poison,

whether it’s a little or a lot.

Love you, bro.

Get going.

Veni…

Did you see that, madam?

It's 12 AM

and an unknown number's calling.

I'm sure it's him.

Ask her to put it on speaker.

Don’t tell me.

I’ll do it myself.

Here, Madam.

It's me, Santha Kumar.

How are you?

Did you eat?

Are you sad that I fed

you cake and you had to…

push me away?

[walkietalkie] Control

to patrol officer.

Hope you received the walkie

talkie from the

two wheeler patrol.

Take a reverse.

So, you want me dead?

Veni, I'm going to jump now.

Hey! [indistinct

chatter on walkietalkie]

Did you hang up?

I’ll keep talking

even if you hang up.

You want me dead, don’t you?

I'm going to die.

Oh, the fun we had in college.

My dad passed away,

and it changed everything.

But, Veni,

I like you.

I like you so much, Veni.

Veni, I'm taking the dive now.

Hey, get down.

Let's go.

Get him in the car!

Get going.

Come on, you!

Wait, sir. What did I do?

Go on.

Drunk and causing

trouble, come with us now!

Hey, where are you going?

Sir, wait!

Sir, let me die in peace.

Let me go!

Hello, sir.

Tell me.

We've received

information that someone's

attempting suicide

on the Bazaar Bridge.

Sir, wait.

Go on, you!

Sir, give me a minute.

Sir… [walkietalkie]

two wheeler patrol…

and highway patrol stay alert.

Sir!

Why are you doing this?

Sir, what is your problem?

Won’t you let me die in peace?

You catch me either

when I cause trouble

[indistinct chatter

on walkie talkie]

or when I try to

escape it and die.

[indistinct chatter

on walkie talkie]

Buddy? Harish?!

I'll pay the thousand

by tomorrow.

I'll definitely do

it before I die.

Buddy

Hand me the phone.

What do you have in your

pocket? What is all this?

My phone! I was

just talking, sir.

[indistinct chatter

on walkietalkie]

Sir, give

it to me.

Sir…

Why does he have all of this?

What is this?

It's something to eat, sir.

My phone?

Hey, stay quiet.

Stay quiet!

Does that

mean shut up?

Okay, sir.

Okay, sir!

" Always shutting this and that

why not just shut everything? "

" What’s the point of a mouth if

we always have

to keep it shut? "

" I’ll keep talking, and

no one can stop me! "

" I’ll keep talking, and

no one can stop me! "

" If the rich and

powerful can speak… "

" Why can’t the downtrodden? "

" This isn’t fair!

Oh, not even close "

" This isn’t right I’m saying

it with an aching heart! "

" Shoot me, hang me… "

" Heck, even let

a dog bite me! "

" I'm okay, sir! "

" I'm absolutely okay, sir! "

" I’m quite used to… "

" This kind of oppression! "

" You took my phone

and my money! "

" All I had left was my mouth

which you've now made sing! "

" I’ll not shut it, and

no one can stop me! "

" I want to piss so why

don't you stop the car? "

" I want to piss! I

so do want to piss… "

" Please stop the car! "

[sings song]

Thank you very much.

Bharat Matha ki Jai!

Who was that? Who said

she’d break her nuptial thread?

Go ahead! Leave

it here and leave.

What, sir?

Is this how you blackmail just

because his bail got denied?

You’ve damaged

government property.

Go and get things

sorted at home first.

The shop won’t

bother you all anymore.

Else, you can meet

with the collector.

File a petition and

protest outside his office.

What, sir? Are you

trying to water it down?

We don’t need your

advice, not us or the drunks.

We need to close the

liquor shop for good. That’s it.

We know that

filing a petition to

those in power

won’t do any good.

The need to carry out

the government order.

That's their only goal.

Even if we take it to court,

they’ll silence us by saying

it’s the government’s policy.

We're aware of that as well.

A continuous

protest by the people

is the only solution to

put an end to this for good.

Tomorrow, we'll take

down another liquor shop.

We’ll shed light on the

mental health effects,

the societal challenges, and the

family struggles

caused by drinking.

You do your part,

and we’ll do ours.

Madam!

Get inside!

Go!

Sit over there!

["Alunguraen kulungaraen"

from "Chandi Veeran" plays]

Veni!

You're still alive?

You stinky drunkard!

You should've told me earlier,

I would’ve bought a cake!

What, Veni?

You came here

to file a case over

my brother slapping

cake on my face?

Don't!

Why, Veni?

Is this how you show up

while bringing your wife?

Couldn’t you have

dressed more properly?

Is this a picnic I’m here for?

To get all dressed up?

I have three brand new shirts!

Here, hold him! What

the hell are you thinking?

What’s going on with you?

What do we even share?

Stop going on about friendship!

I’m just living my life and

minding my own business!

What do you mean we are

friends? Friendship, my foot.

Venu!

Sir, she is my friend!

Bash him up, sir!

He is the reason

for everything!

She is my friend, sir.

Hey! Shut up!

This is a goddamn

police station!

Go over there.

Let the Inspector come.

Listen up! You’d better

be quiet, or I’ll stitch it up!

I’m happy living

with you, aren’t I?

Are you seriously doubting

me over a drunkard’s babbling?

Are you out of your mind?

Veni!

Hey!

You better shut up.

Veni, pony!

[walkietalkie] They'll

be driving a fourwheeler.

Inquire them as well.

They'll say they're with

their family as an excuse…

Sir, I didn't do anything!

Please let me go!

Sir! Sir!

Please let me go.

Don't worry, sir.

We’ll definitely find the kid.

Trust me.

We'll find the kid.

You've been saying the same

thing for the last six hours.

Give him to me.

[walkietalkie] 109…

110…

Fourty one plus…

Two. File a case.

Did you get the message?

Hey!

Give me the lathi.

Sir, don't.

Give it to me, I say!

Sir, please don't!

Sir!

You filthy dog!

You got drunk and now

you're causing trouble?

Hey!

How much would you flip out

if someone visited

your wife late at night?

How do you know him?

We were classmates at college.

Which college?

Vysya College.

Did you turn in the petition?

Yes, sir!

You two can leave.

Okay, sir. Okay.

Be here tomorrow

when you're called.

Hey, get going.

Cake?

Get up!

Remove your shirt.

Remove, I say!

Remove, damn it!

Come on!

Here.

Hey!

Put it down.

You love drinking, don't you?

And enjoy causing trouble?

The control room reported you.

Are you really such a thug?

You…

What do you do?

I'm a supervisor, sir.

Where?

Thai Fabrics.

If you don't like

the house, vacate it.

How dare you break

the owner's house?

Huh?

I didn't do it, sir.

He charged me for upkeeping

To hell with your reasons.

You think you're a gangster?

Huh?

How many problems will

you create in a single night?

He wants me to pay to

clean his house's yard.

So, you'll break his head, huh?

Huh?

No, sir.

Moron!

If it's a problem,

you should've shifted.

You are getting

paid, aren't you?

How does that matter?

Only money makes a

man worth looking at,

and I’m a man just

three days a month.

My mom's medicines

must've run out a week ago.

She'll ask me not to worry and

that she'll get

them in two days.

Do you know how I feel?

Do you even have a mother?

Shut your mouth.

I feel sad thinking about her.

Hey…

Aren't we all like that?

Yes, sir.

Tell me, madam.

Shut up.

Okay, sir.

Sir, decorations?

No one loves their mother?

Clear it all.

Hey!

Sir?

Make it quick.

Okay, sir.

No one in here

loves their mother.

Come. Come on.

Shut up and sit down.

Sit.

Ganesan.

Sir?

There's no water here.

Do I have to tell

you everything?

Tell me.

What do I look like to you?

You think you can hit

me as and when you like?

Am I not human?

Be silent, man.

Won't I feel pain?

That's alright.

I mean, I'm just here to

get beaten up by you guys.

[walkietalkie] Those who

kidnap kids and teenagers…

Why would you torture

an innocent man like this?

Sir…

What?

Sir…

Sir… he… he ran.

Hey,

what is it?

The accused escaped, sir.

What the hell?

Gosh, the mosquitoes.

Wait. I'll call you back.

Come quick.

You tore my shirt as well.

[indistinct chatter

on walkietalkie]

Sir… [walkietalkie]

Sir, control receiving.

Sir?

Sir?

Give my shirt back.

Madam?

Sir?

Sir.

[indistinct chatter

on walkietalkie]

Sir?

Sir?

Sir?

Sir?

Sir?

Sir?

Sir?

Sir?

[walkietalkie] Control

room to all stations.

Sir?

Today evening…

Sir, give me my phone back.

[walkietalkie] The family

attended a birthday party.Sir?

Sir, talk to me.

Sir?

I want my shirt back.

Sir?

Hey, did you get him?

If the press finds out,

it'll be a huge problem.

Hey, what are you doing here?

Where are you going?

Stop.

Stop, man.

Sir…?

[walkietalkie] Copy that, keep

moving. Cover every street.

Turn on the siren

in the police jeep.

If there's no siren, ask them

to horn or whistle instead.

We can issue instructions like

that, to all night

route officers, sir.

Hello, sir.

Who is the night route

officer for Pushpa Nagar?

He still hasn't come

on the walkietalkie line.

He hasn't attended

the night roll call.

Stop your bike. Turn

off your headlight.

You’re driving as

if you own the road!

Are you drunk?

Wow! It's a baby!

Hey, it's me, the police. Blow

and show me your breath.

[walkietalkie] Pushpa Nagar

Night Route Officer, over?

I can smell the alcohol on

you, and you're denying it!

I'll even spare those

who drink and drive,

but with a baby on board, you

shouldn't drink

and drive, alright?

Alright?

Yes.

You have a baby with

you. You are free to go.

Hold on.

Your vehicle number is 310.

Do you know what it means?

It's my birthday!

Happy birthday, sir!

Did I ask you to wish

me? Now, move along.

You have a baby on

board. Drive carefully.

Bye…

Take care!

Hey, you dropped

your baby's shoe.

Hey…

Hey

You've dropped the baby's shoe,

man! [indistinct

chatter on walkietalkie]

What else can I possibly

do with this walkietalkie?

Sir, please, cut it out!

You're so concerned, because

this walkietalkie's yours.

Don’t I have the same concerns?

Hand over my phone and my Venu!

Let’s bring this to a close.

Turn it down, you're

blasting my ears!

["Neeye Nirantharam" song plays]

Sir…

Sir?

I have a pickup tonight, sir.

Please be careful, sir.

Water…

[walkietalkie] Umadurai PS

SI 2, to control,

sir. Hello sir.

Here is your water, sir.

The one with the

walkietalkie is at

Muruganpalayam.

Information received.

Please attempt to warn him

and retrieve the walkietalkie.

Please act quickly, madam.

Yes, received your

information,

sir. I’ll follow up.

Santhakumar, are

you on the line?

Santhakumar,

get on the line.

Kindly speak.

Enough, sir?

Madam, can

you hear me?

What’s your issue?

You always keep asking

me to talk on the walkietalkie!

You call me out for

talking in the station!

What's new now?

Santhakumar,

we’ve read your letter.

I understand, but taking the

walkietalkie from

the police is wrong.

Where are you located

in Muruganpalayam?

Come and surrender the

walkietalkie. We

won’t harm you.

You first return my

phone under your custody.

Is your phone the same

as the walkietalkie?

Madam, what phone does he

have that he won't

stop talking about?

It's just a regular

keypad phone, sir.

Sir?

Come again?

It's not because I can't

afford a smartphone.

Do you know the reason

why I still use a keypad phone?

My daughter has been diagnosed

with Nephrotic Syndrome.

Let it be. She’s

not feeling well.

Sir?

My wife would send me

pictures of our sick daughter.

Not wanting to see my daughter

suffer, I use a keypad phone.

Hey, shut up and hand over

the walkie to the station, man.

Why do you keep using the

word "shut up" repeatedly?

This walkie is on loudspeaker.

Won’t it be awkward if

the ladies overhear it?

You're rambling too much!

Sir?

Madam.

Can I say something?

Go ahead.

Madam, you have a lovely voice.

Madam, may I add

one more thing?

I love you, madam!

Call me back on this

number in 30 minutes.

I'm tied up with

some important work.

Got a cigarette with you?

Santhakumar,

please respond.

Sir, here it is.

Where are you, Santhakumar?

Get on the line

and talk to me.

Mic 11 to Control. Do not

engage with him further.

Isn't he at Muruganpalayam?

Ask someone to follow up

and get the mic from him.

Sir?

Sir, what’s wrong?

Sir, what’s wrong?

[indistinct chatter

on walkietalkie]

Is he just going

to keep stalling to

pay back your hardearned money?

Why are you still crying?

There’s been so much going on…

Listen, think of

you as my brother!

Let’s ask him straight up now!

He humiliated me, brother…

I'm going to die.

Why would you say

something like that?

Do you honestly

believe I’d let you die?

Let’s finish him off, alright?

You're with me, as my brother.

No one can stop my auto!

It's heading straight

for Pushpa Nagar!

[unclear murmuring]

Wait, wait, stop the auto…

What’s up with this?

I'll be back in two!

0110

Give me back my money, now!

Please insert the

ATM card first, sir.

I already did, last month!

I got a text saying 3,000 was

debited, but no cash came out!

Return my money…!

What happened?

Why bother with cash?

We're already sloshed!

Hey, what

happened, dude?

The ATM didn’t

dispense my cash.

What!? Everyone

in Tamil

Nadu goes through this!

Why is this always the case?

Let me know before

you leave, bro!

Don’t smash the machine

with your bare hands!

I’ll get you the right fix!

Where is he off to?

I’ll never forgive

such betrayal!

This machine’s

betrayal will cost it dearly!

Digital India!

Hey, hold this!

Let's smash it, brother!

You run your business with my

money but won’t give me any?

Hit it!

Someone spotted me, didn’t they?

Don't know who, but they're

cracking the ATM lock, sir!

He's in a police uniform,

please come soon, sir!

Break the ATM to

pieces, then come!

Don't you dare trick us!

Yes, brother.

Let it all out!

Spare alone the tube light!

It will be helpful

to the public.

We have to take

care of this town.

Can I tell you something?

My dad's a police officer, too.

My goal was to become one, too!

I tried all sorts of shortcuts,

forged a certificate,

and turned it in!

However, they realized

it was a counterfeit!

They framed me by

putting cases on me!

But I never gave

up on my dreams,

it's all because of

my perseverance!

Perseverance…

If I wear one, it'll

be a khaki shirt!

Didn't you see how I stand now?

Khaki doesn't

define us. Duty does!

Did I get it right?

Yes, you did.

You’re not my brother anymore,

You're Seleucus Nicator.

What do you mean by that?

You're the leader!

Do you consider me the leader?

Watch how things unfold for him!

I’d sacrifice my life for

you, taking his is nothing.

Forget your life, give

me those pants of yours!

Khaki belongs to khaki,

and police to police!

Use my stole as an

extra! Wear it this way!

I'll hold it.

Listen…

You step out only when I say.

Not a second before!

Got it?

Now, tell mewho am I?

Seleucus Nicator!

Nicator!

Nicator!

Greetings, sir!

You’re probably thinking,

‘Who’s this dog?’ right?

But guess what? There was

already a dog

here when I arrived.

What do you say to that?

Who the hell are you?

Sir is here to see you. Come on.

Come on!

Sir?

Look!

The man that he is!

He's all set to create history!

That stance… he’s about

to do something legendary!

You?!

What’s with the costume?

Hey! Watch your mouth!

He’s a supervisor at

my company, not a cop!

Get lost, both of you!

[chatter on walkietalkie]

Hello!

Am I right, sir?

I’m busy with important work.

Let us know once

you catch him, sir.

I’m telling youI’m

on important work!

Send someone else.

See?!

Wait, I’ll be there soon.

You idiots! Get out of here!

What?

Idiots?

You, your job, your

company, your boss

you’re all the worst

of the worst idiots!

You made my leader

who called me 'Chief'cry!

Do you even know

if he’s really a cop?

No idea!

He's 'Puthiya Sarithiram' Ramki.

Why are you even

letting him talk like that?

If he said that to me...

I’d have grabbed his wife and

Insult him if you want.

But don’t drag his wife into it.

That’s just wrong.

Do you even know

who this man is?

He’s the terror of our office!

Who’s this?

It’s nothing. Go inside.

You slapped me?

You slapped Nehru?!

Just wait! You’ll see

my real power soon!

Brother...

Wait!

Ma’am, welcome!

What the hell are you doing?!

You go inside first.

Are you leaving, or

should I call the cops?

Hey, Bob Murali! Where are you?

You’re his wife?

Just go in and sleep. He’s

just drunk and rambling.

Leave!

I’m just a lowlevel worker

at the same company as him.

It means…

whenever he screws up,

...we get screwed for it!

He’s just blabbering nonsense.

I’m telling you to leave.

Thats...

That’s what it means

to be a lowlevel worker.

Am I right, sir?

What time is it?

Come on, tell me.

It’s 3 a.m.

Three o’clock! And

you still look so dignified.

But this guy…

he won’t even let

the women in our

company be this

way during the day!

Hey! You’re crossing the line!

Shut up!

I could call those

women right now,

and they’d tell you

everything about him.

But this guy…

…he’s a fraud!

He’d recognize them

just by their voices.

It’s pathetic. Those women

work for such low wages…

and he’s making

their lives miserable.

Scumbag.

One second.

Hey, where are you going?

Wait, wait.

I told you to go inside!

Shut up.

Even now, while I’m

shaming him, look at him…

What do we do

with this guy, huh?

What to do with him?

Moron!

Dear ladies!

This man here might have

called you all his sisters.

But trust me, his filthy

mind has no such thoughts!

Check his phone right now

you’ll find pictures of

every woman on this street.

Hey! I told you to leave!

But you won’t find

your picture on it.

Should I call the police?

Who the hell is

shouting at this hour?!

You idiot! I’ve been screaming

here for ages, and

you show up now?!

Amazing neighbor you are!

That's him!

Grab him!

Kick him out!

Let's teach him a lesson!

What’s going on?

Brother...

I went to support him…

and this idiot slapped me!

I was just kidding.

Hey!

Hey!

Come on.

Me too.

Please.

Nice one, Tirupathi!

For every punch you

land, I’ll buy you a drink!

Booze?! Here you go!

Slap him!

Hey!

Oh god!

You okay?!

What the hell, man?!

I didn’t mean to!

The cops are here! Run!

Run! Run!

Why the hell did you

pull out a knife, you idiot?!

Now I had to ditch my auto!

I had some rare stills in

there, man! You dumbasses!

It's hurting…

I’m leaving, my dears…

No one likes your father.

Everyone scolds me.

Darshini, sweetheart,

take care of Veda.

Listen to your mother.

Bring grandma home

and keep her with you.

Your father is leaving now…

Will you give me a kiss?

Sathya, what is it?

Are you angry with me?

I’m leaving, Sathya…

I always wanted to study

the Mangulam inscriptions…

the sculptures of Hampi…

But I couldn’t even finish

college after my father passed.

After that, it was

just work... Tirupur…

baniyans… machines… noise…

Veda, you should study M.A. in

Ancient History and Archaeology.

Do what you love.

Don’t end up like me.

Who’s that at this hour?

Are you a cop, sir?

This is a graveyard, right?

Sir?

It’s a graveyard, isn’t it?

Your face is all wounded…

Are there any

empty graves left?

Did you get hurt?

Oh, the grave is already here.

What are you doing?

Wait, wait.

Sir!

Sir, what it this?

Sir! Get up!

Sir, get up first.

Please let me be.

Get out of there!

Get up!

This isn’t my grave?

Careful...

Mine’s somewhere else?

Can I get a cigarette?

At least a beedi?

It hurts…

You’re wearing a police

uniform… Who are you?

I'm not a cop.

I work in a textile company.

I’ve lost everything

my honor,

my respect,

my job…

...even the rental

house I lived in.

Everything's gone.

Cry.

Cry as much as you want.

We won’t get the

chance after we die.

It’s been seven

years since I last cried.

When you truly understand life…

you can neither cry nor laugh.

Hey! You

just have to

observe and move on.

What’s happening there?

A tragedy. A pregnant

woman has passed away.

They’re preparing

for her burial.

You said you don’t drink…

but you have alcohol?

Oh, that?

People who come for

burials give me booze

to perform the

last rites properly.

I just keep it aside.

When I feel like offering

it to someone, I do.

So you really don’t drink?

I used to. A full bottle

every day for 32 years.

Then one night,

a sharp pain hit my stomach.

My wife panicked, found an

auto, and rushed

me to the hospital.

The doctors said

my kidney was gone.

They told me I’d die if

I didn’t get a transplant.

But they couldn’t find a

match for my blood type.

Me and my wife had

the same blood group.

When she found out, without

hesitation, she told

them to operate.

That angel… she sold

everything we

had to save my life.

Here...

She’s still with me.

Until the life she gave

me leaves my body…

I swore never to drink again.

What are you thinking?

Think.

Son...

For others, this

is just a graveyard.

But King Harishchandra

lived in a graveyard!

Even when he knew the dead

body was his own son Lohidas…

even when he

knew it was his wife

Chandramathi who

had brought the body…

he still demanded

the burial fee.

That king who upheld

justice for the world

wouldn’t he have

something to say to you?

He would.

Think!

Sir...

Sir...

Huh?

They're calling you.

Did I marry you just for

you to leave me so soon?!

What do I do now?!

You’re gone… Who do I have now?!

Who do I have now?!

You used to kick your mother’s

belly, didn’t you? Kick now!

Come on!

My baby… have you left me too?

You have left me too?!

You left before I

could even see you!

You've already left me!

Hey, where's

the nuptial thread?

My baby!

You used to kick your mother’s

belly, didn’t you? Kick now!

My god!

Kandha!

Sir?

Oh, God! Don’t you

have any mercy?!

Hold it.

What do I do now?

God… why didn’t

you take me instead?!

You've left me, my dear.

I worked so far away just

to give you all a better life!

What do I do now?

You're not here!

You've left me alone!

God, you'll burn in hell!

What do I and the kids do now?

" Oh little moon, hush now,

Don’t cry without sleep! "

" Your sufferings will

pass, Don’t be afraid "

" Oh noble king, you,

Never be shaken! "

" There’s a home waiting

for you Don’t forget it "

" The little kitten

by the door, Is

looking for youdon’t

you know? "

" Little sparrows

hop from tree to

tree, Drifting,

cluelesscan’t you see? "

" Pointing at the moon, feeding

rice, Telling stories

of old times "

" Have you forgotten

those days? "

" Your bright smile when you

return Have you forgotten? "

" Have you forgotten

Your children, dear father? "

" Everything will

change, Don’t lose heart "

SirMadam, we found him in the

We’ve detained him.

Why? What happened?

Why didn’t you bring

him to the station?

No matter how much we hit him,

he keeps repeating

the same thing.

Says he’ll only talk to you.

He’s threatening to slit

his throat if we force him.

He’s completely

wasted. What do we do?

Don’t lay a hand on him

until I get there. I’m coming.

Alright.

You idiot, I should

just kick you.

Sir, forget him.

My phone display

isn’t working properly.

Can you check it and

tell me what the issue is?

Seriously?

Madam, I saw the child!

They don’t believe me.

I saw the child, madam.

Madam…

I really saw the child, madam.

How dare you steal

a police walkie?!

Where’s the

Inspector’s uniform?

Here, madam.

Did you actually see the child?

This is her shoe, ma’am.

Please, at least trust me now.

She looked adorable.

[walkietalkie] Can you hear me?

We've received an information.

That place is near SBI bank ATM.

What name was it?

Puthuyeri, madam.

I haven’t slept peacefully

inside my house in a long time.

Where does this road lead?

This one?

It goes to Odankuruchi

and Puthuyeri

And the other side?

No villages there.

Just fields and forest.

Let's go, madam.

Get on.

Madam, don’t

forget! Take her away!

Madam, let’s go this way!

Madam, why this way?!

Why are you going that way?

There are no villages there!

There are no vehicles around.

Let’s go search somewhere else.

Madam...

Hello.

Madam, there's no path here.

Madam, let's go. We should

check inside the village.

I know that vehicle.

If we find it, we’ll

Sir.

Sir. I believe the child

is somewhere here

Hey!

Youcome here!

How dare you take my uniform?!

You made me sit in my

own station without a shirt!

Who the hell do

you think you are?!

Sir, go stop him before

he does something rash.

You think the police are fools?

Come on.

Do you have any idea how serious

the issues we're

dealing with are?!

We’ve been running

around chasing you!

Sit down!

How dare you use my

walkie to talk nonsense?!

Say something now, you little

Go on!

Scumbag! How dare you!

Sir...

Say something! Speak up!

Hey, I joined the force at 24.

No black marks on my record.

And because of you

Madam...

you got worried about

losing your cap, didn’t you?

Well, I was shirtless!

How do you think I felt, huh?!

I understand, sir.

But right now, the child

is the prioritynot him.

He saw the child in person.

He’s the reason we got this far.

And look over there, sir

Why would a temple deep in

the forest be lit

up at this hour?

Brother, give me the torch.

Go check it out.

Okay, sir.

Let me join them, sir.

God… let us find the child.

Madam.

Hmm?

You would’ve found

the child sooner

if I hadn’t gotten

in the way, right?

Madam…

nothing will

happen to the child.

Sir!

Madam!

stumbled blindly in the dark, "

" Only now have I

realized my mistakes. "

" My delicate flower, I fell to

the ground, a slave to fate, "

" Only when love faded

did I understand its worth. "

" What is life,

really? I wandered

Searching for the answer "

" Angry and reckless, I

roamed with senseless pride. "

" But that was no real

life, There was no joy in it "

" Living with family There

is no greater blessing "

" Wealth will

rise, and fall, Money

will pass through our hands, "

" But nothing lasts like love. "

" Oh firefly, my queen, I

stumbled blindly in the dark, "

" Only now have I

realized my mistakes. "

" I was my own worst

enemy, my dear. "

" That’s why, my

love, I stumbled,

unaware of my mistakes. "

" Like a drifting kite, I

roamed many lands, "

" Yet love, my dear,

It is always above all. "

" I need no one else, You

are enough, my shining star. "

" No more tears,

No more pain "

" Your words, your voice,

They heal my wounds. "

" I walked miles Just

to stand at your feet "

" My delicate flower, I fell to

the ground, a slave to fate, "

" Only when love faded

did I understand its worth "

Are you headed

to the station, sir?

Where do you want to get down?

Just drop me near the hostel.

Heading to the wine shop?

You too?

No.

Come on, bro. Just

a couple of drinks.

No.

What, you don’t drink?

I’m asking, bro.

You don’t drink?

I used to.

Not anymore.

When did you quit?

Bro, you can stop here.

Here?

Thanks a lot, bro. See you.

Bro! Bro!

Have you really

quit drinking?

How did you do it?

Can you help me, brother?

What’s your name?

Anand.

Why now, Anand?

I have a oneyearold son.

I want to quit this shit

and start saving money.

But I keep postponing it to

tomorrow, and

tomorrow never comes.

I don’t know what to do.

The fact that you

want to quit is enough.

Hold on to that thought.

Every morning,

think about your child.

Think about the times you

had to beg for money to drink,

the fights, the nights you

spent lying on the road.

Think about all that,

and you'll feel guilty.

Put it on your child. That

will turn into determination.

You’ve always

told yourself, “I’ll

stop tomorrow,”

right? Change that.

Decide that you’ll stop today.

You’ll feel anxious, like

you’ve lost something big.

You’ll be scared.

But nothing will

actually happen.

You can handle it, Anand.

So? To the wine shop?

No, brother. Not today.

Dad! We’re all

ready. Where are you?

I’m nearby, dear. Almost there.

Hey, you’re lying!

You’ve been saying

that for so long.

When will you come?!

Okay, dear. Count to

five. Dad will be there.

One...

Two...

Three...

Four...

Five!
