Dinesh, sir is calling you.

Coming, sir!

'Maareesan'

'Shapeshifter'

What's up, Dhaya?
You look so happy.

- No, sir.
- Huh? No?

I didn't mean that...

Any plans to come back here?

No, sir. I've reformed, right?

Yeah! Keep bluffing!

I swear on your father.

You bloody! Why drag my father to this?

Are you crazy?

- Dhayalan?
- Sir.

Check it before you leave.

[Devotional song in the background]

Hey... what are you thinking?

Keep your bag at that porch
and take a bath.

Nobody's gonna steal anything.

"You dwell in my heart"

"While I exist... by faith in you"

"Oh mighty Velayya..."

"What is this world, bustling ahead?"

"But the one in no rush,
has none to care"

- It's got several colour options too.
- How much does it cost?

The base model's price is 9.3 lakhs, sir.

The top tier one costs 14.5 lakhs.

How about this?

For what?
To buy or to see?

I want to buy it.

Before that I have
to see it, right?

"What is this world, bustling ahead?"

"But the one in no rush,
has none to care"

"No one pays heed to
any tunes anymore"

"But on listening, it doesn't
make any sense for sure"

"Never has a map
guided me anywhere"

"Neither have I lost my way,
even with a blindfold on"

"No job, no loans,
no woman to love"

"Still, here I am, my own master
and my only kin"

Hello!

Welcome.

Thank you.

"If you reach up high,
will you touch the sky?"

"Try it anyway,
if you do, that's your dumb-luck!"

"Can you show you're
good and merry?"

I gotta get down here!

"Can you prove rules are
just a fool's chase?"

Everything okay? Leaving in the middle?

Mom called. She's not well.

- Oh, is it? Drive safe, okay?
- Okay.

Some houses...
I feel like they're calling me.

Those are the only
ones I ever break into.

I've always wondered

how did fish that lives
deep underwater

become the food for
cranes of the sky?

There's a connection.

That's exactly how I feel
drawn to this house.

Are you here, Kumar?

Why not come home
as soon as your shift ends?

Why so late?

Please don't harm me.

Dare you utter a
word, I'll slice you down!

Just breathe.
Nothing else.

I said breathe.
Not pee!

I have a memory condition.

Alzheimer's.

My son locked me in
to keep me from running away.

He said he'd be back soon,
but he's still not here.

Please release me.

Sorry.

I'm not in a mood to
do good deeds now.

Can you please get me out from here?

Please.

I'll pay you.

Don't bother.
I'll take it myself.

There's nothing in there.

It's all in the bank.

I swear, I'll pay you.

Please trust me and unchain me.

How much?

Ten thousand?

You got to be kidding me!

Ten, my foot!

Twenty thousand?

Twenty-five thousand?

What's this?
An auction?

That's the maximum I can withdraw
from the ATM on a single day.

Don't you have Google Pay?

What's that?

You have a memory issue, right?

Do you remember your PIN number?

I'll remember it once
I go near the ATM machine.

Please trust me.

Don't you dare outsmart me...

You can sit still without wobbling, right?

If I wobble, won't I fall down too?

As long as you remember that,
we're good!

Hey...

Can you give me a cigarette?

No.

Twenty-five lakh rupees!

Hey...

Twenty-five thousand, as promised.

Okay?

Count it.

Where do you want to go, sir?

My daughter is in Palakkad.

So you're going to Palakkad?

No.

My son will come
looking for me there first.

No.

Can you drop me at Vadassery bus stand?

Where do you really want to go, sir?

Just a moment.

Please give me.

Wanna take a leak?
Go ahead.

[Humming a song]

I have a friend in Tiruvannamalai.

I'll go there.

Really? You wanna go to Tiruvannamalai?

Why? What happened?

Well, I'm also headed that route.

Then drop me at Vadassery bus stand.
That'll do.

Where are you off to at this odd hour?

Sir, there was a function nearby.

A function?

My son works in police department.

Why didn't you tell me earlier?

I thought you'd get
scared and not help me.

Does your son annoy you a lot?

No, nothing of that sort.

I left home like this a few times.

He struggled a lot to find me.

That's why he locked me up.

'VADASSERY BUS STAND'

Brother...

Don't get me wrong...

can you give me 100 rupees?

If I give you 100 rupees?

How will you reach Tiruvannamalai?

Thank you.

One pack of cigarettes, please.

Sir... sir...

Wanna have some tea?

It's okay, no thanks.

Come on, just have it!

- Two cups of tea.
- No, no, really...

Then cancel my tea too.

You need to take a
leak quite often, right?

Only at nights.

Then bus travel will be
difficult for you.

Let's go on my bike, sir.

Come on, it'll be a fun ride.

Aren't we supposed to be
happy in life, or not?

Yes or no?

- Well...
- Superb! Come on, sir!

Why trouble yourself like this?

Not for free, sir.
Pay me eight rupees per kilometer.

I'll drop you at your destination.

You got money in your account, right?

Not really, man.

No?

I mean, money is there.

But I don't know if this will work out...

I understand.

How can you travel
with a fraudster?

- You're right.
- No, no.

I didn't think that way.

Alright. But don't go too fast.

Fast? I'll drive as
if I'm fasting!

Just come, sir.
Follow me.

Sir, note down the kilometer reading.

You note it down yourself, man.

Okay, right!

Where's your native place?

Erode.

Aren't you from Madurai?

You figured it out from
my accent, didn't you?

Please get down, sir.

What happened?

Wanna take a leak.

Okay.

Kumar...

Hey, Kumar!

How long have you been into this?

Look at you, smoking right
in front of your dad!

Dad?

Your mom kept warning me

not to smoke near you.

I didn't listen.
My mistake.

So, where are we going now?

To Krishnaveni's house, isn't it?

And where is that?

Palakkad.

Why?

Okay.

We need to fill up petrol, take a room.

You got money, right?

Cash?

Let's withdraw from the ATM.

Okay, that works.

Here it is, the ATM.

Let's grab the cash and go.

Kumar...
Isn't 3000 enough?

Here's the card.
You withdraw the money.

Dad...

What happened?

I forgot the PIN.

What are you talking about?
You use it all the time!

You're right...

but just help me remember, will you?

Come on!

1-2-2-1, I think.

One... Two... Two... One...
One... Two... Two... One...

One... Two...

Dammit!

Sir...

Dad...
Please come.

One...

Two...

Two...

NO! It's not 'one!'

It's some other number.

Other number?

One... Two... Two... Two...

What the...

What's going on?
How do we get the money now?

You look sleepy now.
I'll manage.

Shucks!

How will you manage it?

I've got some cash with me.
We'll make do with that.

How come you have money?

I just do.

Tell me.

I didn't steal it, okay?

Your sister Krishnaveni
must have given it to you.

Who else would give you money?

Kumar...

I'm tired.

Let me rest for ten minutes.

I was rushing for the film
and forgot to take the bike key.

I informed the patrolling cops
last night, sir.

I think it was the SI, sir.

He told me to submit the bike's photo
and the documents at the station.

- This one?
- Yes.

Okay, give me your phone number.
I'll look into it.

Sir, he's the son of
minister Ponnambalam's PA.

Hey, stop it.

- Please help, sir.
- Okay. I will. Don't worry.

What's his case?

He's the son of minister
Ponnambalam's PA.

Someone stole his bike.

We'll find it.

Your name?

Velayudham Pillai.

How often does this
memory problem happen?

When I try too hard to remember...

or when I get really stressed out.

Alright, I'm writing down
my name and number here.

You should jot down anything
you don't want to forget

Like your daughter's number, address,
your son's number, ATM card PIN,

your Tiruvannamalai
friend's name, all of it,

okay?

Dhaya...

Dhayalan...

Dhaya. Dhaya.

I have a diary like that at home.

Was in a hurry and forgot to bring it.

No worries. Keep this one too.

It's on me.

Can I have my phone?
It's charged now, right?

Yes.

Brother...

Could you please lend
me a thousand rupees?

I need to buy some medicines

for my memory issue and blood pressure.

What are you saying, sir?

Do you remember the medicine name?

I'll withdraw from my account
and return it.

Yeah, it's on the prescription.

The pharmacist will know.

In that case, I'll make a call,
smoke a cigarette and wait.

Get the medicine from that shop.
I'll join you.

People call you 'Network Ganesh',

but you are always out of network!

'Hey, gotta sell an Rx 100 bike.'

Check in your network and let me know.

You never take a break, do you?

Alright, where are you now?

Madurai.

'For how long will you keep doing
these small odd jobs?'

'Plan something huge, man!'

Exactly.
That's why I called you yesterday.

Something has come up.

'What's it?'

'Hello?'

'Hello?'

Dhaya?

Hey!

Hey!

Stop! Stop!

Where are you going?

Palakkad.

I'm also going to Palakkad.
Come, let's go.

Hey! Stop the bus!
We gotta get down.

- Why? What happened?
- Just stop the bus.

Come on.
Let's go.

Who are you?
Why should I come with you?

I am the one who picked you up
from Nagercoil, on my bike.

- On a bike?
- No! In a ship!

What happened?
What's the matter?

What's the matter?

He's been pulling his hand
for quite some time now.

It's me, Dhaya. Come, let's go.

Who Dhaya?

Hey! He said he doesn't know you.
Let go of his hand.

He was with me.

We were on our way to Tiruvannamalai
on my bike.

Why would I go to Tiruvannamalai?

This doesn't seem right.
Let's go to the police station.

That's right.
Driver, let's go to the police station.

Hey! He's got memory issues.

He came here with me.

You don't trust me?

My name and number are
there in his diary. Check it.

Really? Show it to us.

Give it to me. Give!

Please check.

Is Dhaya your son's name?

It's Kumar.

- Kumar?
- Dial the number first.

He lovingly calls me Kumar.

Yes. See this?

I was talking on phone.

And then he went
missing. I was so shocked.

Come, let's go.

Give me the diary.

Here. Keep it.

Come. Careful.

In the movie 'Ghajini',
Surya had this condition, right?

That's 'short-term memory loss'.

So what's this?

Sreedevi's condition
from 'Moondram Pirai'.

Let's go. Right.

"O! Shapeshifter... "

"Nothing comes without a fight "

"Lady Luck won't stroll in overnight "

"Once the face-paint is on "

"Get used to nodding along "

"On your shoulder dances a zombie "

"Grin and bear as you go "

Hey...

Do you believe in God?

Why? You don't?

No.

- No?
- No!

"You be like a raincloud "

- You accept cards, right?
- Yes.

"Hide your rage, and grin and bear "

"You be like the lines of a 'Kolam' "

"Meander your way, amidst the chaos "

"O! Shapeshifter "

The PIN is incorrect.

Sir, the PIN is incorrect!

"Lady Luck won't stroll in overnight "

"Once the face-paint is on "

"Get used to nodding along "

Oh no! I forgot to collect the change
from that medical shop.

Should we go back and get it?

Just come, sir.

Just come. I'll pay you that amount.

Dhaya...

It's too sunny.

Can we take the village road?

It'll be a soothing ride.

Okay.

"If you chase only the marks they show
A strike from nowhere is sure to blow "

"If you laugh along and play along "

"A wad of cash might
fall on your hands "

"Take the blows,
let silence mend "

"Wait it out, don't break or bend "

Hey! Careful!

Hey! My goats!

Watch out!

There are so many goats on the road!
Can't you see?

Are you okay?

I am okay.
What happened?

Are you okay? No injuries?

Hey! Can't you drive carefully?

I was being careful.
Are you herding the goats on the road?

- Hey, mind your words.
- What 'mind your words'?

Hey, wait a minute.

Why don't you say 'sorry' and we leave?

What? 'Sorry'?

They're trying to escape
by saying 'sorry'!

Do you know how much it costs?

How much?

Listen, man.

We were driving carefully.

The goat crossed our path.
What's the use even if we honk?

- He didn't honk, it seems!
- You didn't honk?

That's what I was telling you.

He didn't honk.
What's the use in honking?

Wait. Let me talk to them.

Brother, can we settle the matter for
3000 rupees?

Just 3000?

Okay, pay him and leave.

Why so adamant?

Let's pay up and leave.

Sure, why not?

But I don't have any...

Whatever money I had,
I gave it all to mom.

Didn't you see?

When?

Remember we had
breakfast in the morning?

Yes.

Remember going to the medical shop
after that?

Yes.

Remember standing in front of an ATM
after that?

Near the auto stand.

- Yeah. A bit.
- That's it!

Hey!

Call Chidambaram!

Who is Chidambaram?

Police.

Alright, do you have money or not?

I don't have any.

But he has an ATM card.

Then go withdraw money.

Come, let's go to the ATM.

Wait, wait.

Let him stay here.
You go and withdraw the cash.

Hey, someone from
our side go with him.

I'll go, brother.

Please give me the ATM card.

What's taking so long?

Hold on a second.

Come.

Please... I promise I'll pay you back.

Please, just give it to me.

Okay.

PIN?

You entered it correctly even last night.

What the hell?

This isn't gonna work.
Call Chidambaram!

Please let us talk in peace
if you want your money.

Sir, think well and tell me.

Will you be able to remember
if you see the ATM machine?

Huh? Yeah.

Murugesan, just look at him!

We're here for our money,
and he's busy playing with his damn phone!

1-2-3-4.

Hey, Dhaya!

Come here.

I think it is 4321.

- 4321?
- Yes.

Murugesan...

He's here.

Please come.

He told us everything about you.

You're a policeman, aren't you?

Why are you not in uniform?

I'm on leave right now, that's why.

What are you doing, sir?!

Money?!

Does money mean everything to man?

As sir said,

With a bit of herbal medicine,

the goat will be back on its feet
in no time!

Murugesan, is that fine with you?

You've made the call anyway!

Sir, which station you're posted at?

Eh? Palayamkottai.

I see.

- See you then?
- See you.

Ah, okay! See you.

Have a safe journey.

Will you stop bike?

Why?

I'm feeling a bit dizzy.

I'll be okay if I just rest for a bit.

Well, which is this place?

Eechampatti.

We'll reach a junction if we travel
10-15 kilometers from here.

We can take a room there.

What place name did you say?

Eechampatti. Why?

I guess it's here.

My old friend's house.

I don't remember clearly.

It's been several years, you know?

Can you ask in that shop?

About where's the house of
Subramaniam who works at the EB?

He's got three daughters.

They are college students.

People here must be knowing him.

If we find him, we shall stay
at his home for the night

and leave in the morning.

Alright. Let me ask around.

Brother...

Brother...

One sugar candy.

- Actually, two.
- Okay.

One pack of cigarette.

One bottle of water, one soda.

And bananas.

Do you know a Subramaniam here?

There are a few by that name here.

Which one are you asking about?

The one who works at the EB.

Got three daughters.

Three girls?
Who's that, sir?

I don't know...

Let it be. Forget it.

Hey...

Do you know a Subramaniam here?
'- Subramaniam?'

He's got three daughters.

'No. Only Srinivasan sir has
three daughters in this area.'

That's why I said forget it.

- Do you want anything else?
- No.

'What's his name again?
Subramani or Sreenivasan?'

I am coming.
Don't shout!

How's it now?

If we had gone a little further,
we could have got better rooms.

This is more than enough
to sleep for just for 4-5 hours.

Tell me.

Hey, you asked me to sell the bike,

and after that you said something.
What's that?

You go freshen up.

I'll just finish this and come.

I have got hand on something big!

Thought so!

Ripe or unripe?

Crap!

It's not that, man!

So what's your plan?

The oldie is gonna stay in an Ashram
at Tiruvannamalai for a month.

I gotta find his ATM PIN
before that, somehow.

Where are you right now?

Near Viraganur.

Tiruvannamalai is two hours from here.

I don't know what to do!

I'll send you the photos of 2 ATM cards.

Before I reach Tiruvannamalai,

use your network and
make their duplicates,

and make sure they reach me.

Okay, send it.

Things are peaceful at the moment.

But I don't know
when I'll lose control.

'Hey. No use even if we get
the card numbers.'

The cards must not get blocked
for at least a month.

'So, take it slow.'

'Just put on a good act
so that he trusts you.'

Got it?

When I was in 10th class--

One minute.

Cheers.

Start the music!

No, never mind.

You've got enough side dish here!

I was just kidding!
Just tell me, sir.

When I was in 10th class,

this film was playing in Sinthamani
theatre at my hometown.

My dad knew when
the evening show ended.

So, I watched the film till
the interval and came home.

Dad thought that I
came back after playing.

We used to put beds outside
and sleep back then.

The night show would start by
that time at the theatre.

I pretended like sleeping.

Dad thought that I slept,
and he too went to sleep.

After that?

You know what I did?

I watched the after-interval portions
in the night show!

A small tie-up between
the ticket checker and me.

You're quite a smarty, sir!

Let it be.

My dad was very strict.

Once he gets angry,

he'd beat me up with a thick rope.

Only because I feared his beatings,

I went with my uncle when he asked me
to join EB to hoist the posts.

I didn't even think a bit.
I fled from my home!

Is that where
Subramani and you became friends?

Which Subramani?

The one I asked about,
while on our way.

Subramani who works in the EB.

It's actually Sreenivasan
who has three daughters, not him.

Yeah... Right.

Since when did you
start having memory problems?

It just started recently.

You're lucky.

Some go through a lot
to forget certain memories.

While you're a master at it.

Do what you love and keep going.

No thoughts to haunt you.

In a way, you're right, you know?

They say don't worry about
the past or future,

just live in the present.

That's how my lfe is now.

Here. Have it.

You start your story now.

When I was a kid,

I really wanted to buy
shoes and wear them.

But mom wasn't in a
condition to afford it.

And your dad?

I prayed so many times to God
for a pair of shoes.

I really prayed hard.

Later only I realised that

it doesn't work that way.

God doesn't buy shoes for us.

We have to take what we need

And just say sorry to God later.
That's easy, he forgives fast!

Oh, is that why temples
are always crowded?

So I kept doing it.

You never had a job?

I did.

Even the last time,

I was a driver
at an MLA's relative's house.

I got a bit too excited,
and got caught.

But stealing's wrong,
isn't it, Dhayalan?

See, that word, stealing,
is the real problem.

I'm just making people alert.

Once I rob them,
they'll be more careful, right?

I'm just charging my service fee!

That's all!

Fair enough.

Every wrongdoer
justifies their actions.

How can we sleep otherwise?

I thought my life would end
in Nagercoil itself.

You came like God and rescued me.

You said you don't believe in God?

I don't believe in you either.

But that doesn't mean
Dhaya doesn't exist.

So confusing!

Oh shoot! I forgot to buy cotton.

For what?

Last night your snoring was
louder than the bus stand noises!

Don't worry.

That's not gonna happen today.

Whatever you said is right.

But I reached the station only now.

Hey, any update on the bike?

We've been talking about that, sir.

Someone saw it near
the fish market.

We'll catch the thief in a week.

A week? You don't get
how serious this is!

Dammit!

What time is it?

It's 12 PM.

Why didn't you wake me up?

You were exhausted from all that driving.
So I didn't wake you up.

'You haven't sent me the cards yet!'

How far is Tiruvannamalai from here?

It's a two-hours journey.

Two hours?

'How long will it take
to make the cards?'

'Send me the photos of the cards first.'

Why are you in such a rush?

Something bothering you?

Tense?

Boy...

Boy...

Karthik...

Coming.

So who am I then?

Dhaya.

Why are you asking?

Just checking if you're still clear.

Who? Me?

Who drank till 12
and passed out last night?

How do you know
his name's Karthik?

Heard someone call
him while we got here.

Hey, Karthik.
Come here.

Serve me some sambar.

Enough.

- Hey!
- Sorry, sir...

Hey! Watch it, man!
Where are your eyes?!

- Just go!
- It's okay, Dhaya.

Scram! Scram!

Go on, wash it off,
it'll dry on the way.

Hey, sit down!

Is there a record
dance going on here?!

- All okay now, sir?
- Okay. Okay.

Please sit.

'-Hello?'
- Tell me.

'Hello?'

The duplicate cards are here.

But the guys can deliver them
only by evening.

Why don't you bring him
to Coimbatore instead?

'I'll handle the rest. Okay?'

Alright. Bye.

Hey, are we going in
the wrong direction?

What happened?

In the signboard, I saw
60 kilometers to Bodhamalai.

Shouldn't we be going to Tiruvannamalai?

You trying to trick me the 'Madurai' way?

What I mean is...

Okay, shall I ask you something?

Don't you remember anything at all?

What are you talking about?

Stop pulling my legs, sir!

Tell me, man! What do you mean?

We went to Tiruvannamalai yesterday,
met your friend,

you said you wanted
to see your daughter,

and then asked if I could
take you to Palakkad.

You remember none of that?

Now I get why your
son locks you up.

Wait, we already went
to Tiruvannamalai?!

Then where's my money?

Money? What money?

Twenty-five lakh rupees, man!

Where's my money?

Hey! What are you blabbering?

Did you, by any chance...?

If I took your money,
would I still be with you?

Oh-no...

Chaari gave me that money.

Who Chaari?

My brother-in-law.

The reason I went to Tiruvannamalai
was to collect money from him.

So, isn't he your friend?

I am married to his sister!

Is that what important now?

Even my son doesn't know about this!

So, 25 plus 25, means 50?

Hey, listen. Kumar!

Call him.

Let me ask him. Call him.

Kumar?

Oh-no! I don't get any of this!

Why are you crying now?

You're getting seriously confused.

First of all,

wash your face.

Here.

Wash your face.

Wait, so did we go to Tiruvannamalai?

Not went, we're going.

But you said 'went'?

Nope, I said 'going'.
You weren't listening.

Road renovation is going on
at Thalaivasal.

So we're taking the longer route.

Just to be clear,

we're 'on the way' to Tiruvannamalai.

Never mind. Shall I write it down
in your diary?

It's okay, man.

Sure?

You've started hearing things
I never said.

Looks like your condition
is slowly getting worse, step by step.

Careful.

Dhaya...

Sorry, man.

I couldn't believe it for a moment.

Same here too.

Wonder where this road's taking us.

I don't know either. Let's go.

Brother, the third gear
is getting stuck.

Give me a minute, sir.
I'll fix this one and come.

Hey Giri, how much
did you lose today?

- Why do you care? Gonna pay it for me?
- Chill, just asking for fun!

Mind your own business, man!

Here you go!

Gone!

He won it!

Come on. Next round.

Shuffle it well first.

Let me shuffle it well.

Do it.

This is all I have.

Gotta win back whatever we lost.

Just wait and watch.

Careful, man.

Hello.

Yes. Coming.
Wait there.

I'll be right back.

- Sir, 5000 rupees.
- Okay, finish your call and come fast.

What? 5000 rupees?!

We'll wait here until you get back.

That bike, right?

- Ganesh sent this for you.
- Okay, okay.

Hey, Ganesh. Got the cards.

Even better than the originals!

'Have a blast, buddy!'

Okay, man. I'm hanging up.

'Okay.'

Hey, wait! Where are you going
without paying us?

Hey! Hey!

I told you my son would come.

What's the issue?

Hey! You came to play with no money
now he's running off?!

Don't let him leave till he pays.

What's the matter?

You look like a gentleman!

that's why we let you play
without paying first.

Said you'd get the
money from your son.

Do it now.

And if I don't?

What's the matter, brother?

Why are you even
talking to him, Kumar?

Just throw the money
at him and let's go.

Money we owe him?

- How much?
- Ten thousand.

Don't shout!

Ten thousand?

I played fair, they cheated
and made me lose.

Hey!

You think I've got that much money?

You think I do?

I sent the money to mom yesterday, right?

Which mom?

Brother, can we settle for 3000?

But you've got more, right?

I'm taking it out! What's the rush?!

Let go!

You think you can mess with our guy
and walk free outta this town?

Why?

Won't this stab work the same
in your town too?

Wasn't everything going well?

You have four people with you.

If a fight breaks out,
we'll surely get beaten up.

But before that,
I'll make sure I take down two.

Hey, hold on...

Shall I suggest something?

Sir... Neither 10000 as you asked,

nor 3000 as he said.

Let me suggest a fair number.

6000 rupees.

Err... No. Take 5000 rupees from us
and let's close this topic right here.

Else, if this leads to a police case,
we'll all be in trouble.

Brother... Sir is suggesting a fair deal.

Kumar...

I'm hungry. Can you go and buy
porotta and curry?

Hey!

Just eat whatever I bring,

shut it, and sleep.

I've been holding it in...

But there's a limit, man.

You could've handled it calmly.

But you've ruined it all now.

Not really.

When he comes to senses,
he won't remember a thing.

Listen, Dhaya. I'm telling
you this again.

Be patient until you
get the PIN number.

Your job is to grab the cash.

Got it?

Show him some love.

Sir... Porotta and curry. 60 rupees.

Buddy, I'll call you later.

Is dosa ready?

Yes. Take it.

I'll give you one!
You're not eating well!

Hitting him will only make him cry more.

He's a kid.
You need patience.

Oh my baby!
Daddy was gonna hit you?

It's okay, my dear.
Don't cry.

Aha, finally we are at Tiruvannamalai!

Sir, do you remember
what happened last night?

What?

I brought you porotta and curry
you were already asleep.

Did I?

Alright, man.

Tell me your price for dropping me off.
I'll pay up.

Still see me as a driver, huh?

That's not what I meant.

Let's go meet your friend first.

Sir...

Once you see him,

you'll remember, right?

I came here while
I still could remember him.

You said

memory loss is a blessing, right?

Forgetting the people dear
to us is one thing,

but do you know how painful it is
to forget about one's self?

Life is all about memories.

Hey, Velaa!

Hey, Chaari!

Hey!

Chaari!

How are you, man?

Well, surviving.

Here. Take this.

What was the need of this?

Let it be. Keep it.

How are you?

I'm good.

Who is he?

He is my new friend.

Om shanti.

Sir, just a moment.

Hello. Wait.

You didn't even call all this time.
What happened?

How could you just
abandon me like that?

Who else do I have if not you?

Alright. Come.

Did you get the PIN
for the second card yet?

'Not yet, man.'

Is getting the PIN that hard?

I can't rough him up for it,

but I can't let him go either,
he's got the money.

I'm also thinking about
staying in the Ashram.

They may turn you a saint now!

Just get the PIN soon.

I'm wondering

if I too follow your
steps to spirituality.

Oh please!

Once you grow old,
everywhere feels like a prison,

doesn't matter if
it's home or Ashram.

Don't think too much.

Dhaya... shall we go
eat something?

Ready, sir.

Buddy... Where's the bathroom?

Over there.

Over there?

Okay. I'll be right back.

Sir...

Tell me.

- I want to tell you something.
- Yes. Tell me.

Isn't his daughter in Palakkad?

- How do you know?
- He told me.

Please try convincing him to visit her.

I'll drop him off on the way.

His family must be worried.

It won't be good
to stress them out further.

Don't worry.
I'll handle it.

Did he say Kumar and
Krishnaveni are his kids?

Yes.

He married my sister.

He told me that too.

They couldn't have kids,

so they adopted mine.

My wife died when
Kumar was born.

Just act like you
don't know, okay?

No plans.

Just realized I can't stay here.

I'll wander a bit...

Better go to Krishnaveni's place
and stay there for a few days.

Might help clear your head.

I forgot to ask.
What do you do?

[Talking gibberish]

He...

He works as a security guard.

Must be having lots
of night shifts, huh?

Yeah, mostly.
Comes with the job.

It's obvious.

Sir, please come here.

What's the matter?

Listen... don't forget
about the cash...

He apparently sent the money
to my account a week ago!

It was me who forgot it!

What are you thinking about?

No...

I'm a bit tired.

I'm thinking about staying here.
But don't you want to go home?

It's okay.

You can leave if you want.

It's okay. I'm in no rush to go home.

Come on, sir.

Let's stay the night
and leave tomorrow.

I want to visit
the temples too.

Okay.

How long are you staying here?

Two days.

Name and address, please.

Name's Ramakrishnan.

- Take him inside carefully.
- Okay.

What's on your mind, sir?

Dhaya...

Can you do me a favour?

I need to say apologise to someone
before I forget everything.

To a friend of mine.

But I don't have the guts to face him.

If I can get his phone number,

it'll be easier.

Never mind.
Forget it.

It's too tough.

You won't be able to do it.

Getting someone's number...?

Yeah, not easy...

but I'll find it.

Just tell me who it is.

He...

He's kind of a big shot.

'Got so big that
the whole world respects him.'

'But in his money-fueled arrogance,
he spoke to me rudely...'

'So I gave it back in the same tone.'

'It's probably an
old story for him now.'

'But for my own peace of mind,
I just want to say sorry once.'

'That's all.'

I want to meet the store owner.

Sorry sir, he just left.

- Can I get his phone number?
- And who are you, sir?

I'm a friend of someone he knows.

Sorry, sir.

I'm not allowed to
share his number.

Yeah?

Sridhar sir asked me to come.

He's not here, sir.

Oh.

I came from Chennai.

He told me to come at 3
for an ad discussion.

I got delayed in traffic.

Has he left?

He'll be back tomorrow.

He's gone for
a friend's wedding reception.

- Alright. I'll come tomorrow then.
- Okay, sir.

Hey! Not fair!

You said we'll go
to the reception together!

I've come with my family.

Hello? Hello?

After the reception?

Sri? Hello?

It got turned off!

I was talking to Sri.
Your owner.

- My phone got turned off.
- Okay.

Can you please dial
him from your phone?

- His personal number?
- That one.

The one ending with 43? Yeah!

- It's engaged.
- Is that so?

Maybe he's trying to call me.

If he calls you, tell
him my phone died.

Your good name, sir?

My name? Ask him and see.

Thank you, sir.

Hey...

Dhaya...

You look dashing!

You got the number?

Dress up nice and
people believe anything.

Got a phone deal at
the place where I went.

Side business.

See? I did this for you.

It's okay.
It's okay.

See? You're saying 'It's okay'!

See? So it's okay if I do something wrong,
as long as it's for you, huh?

Pulling my legs, huh?

Just kidding, sir.

Here's his number. Call him.

I'll go and...

Okay.

Go.

Sir, did you talk to him?

Yeah, I did.

I feel so relieved now.

Thanks a lot, Dhaya.

What are you looking for?

My bike key.

Bike key?

Maybe it's on the bike itself?

No way!

Why don't you go check?

Sir...

Didn't I tell you?

Is your memory issue contagious?

So am I the reason for this?

Sir, won't they be looking
for you at Nagercoil?

Extensively.

Let them!

Let them do whatever they want!

Madam, he broke in
through this way.

He was strangled with a chain, madam.

I don't understand something.

The killer peed there
after the murder.

As the murdered person
was a jail warden,

please check his
previous records too.

Okay, madam.

Also madam, do you know
Ponnambalam, the minister's PA?

The killer came here
on his son's bike.

Any info about that bike?

The search is on, madam.
We'll find it soon.

Tell me, Pradeep.

The call came 40 minutes
before he died.

Two calls were made
to the same number from the same IMEI.

Thank you, Pradeep.

'Fareeda Begum?'

Sir.
'- Any updates?'

Sir, I asked to trace the last phone call
Manikyavel received.

He received the call
40 minutes before he died.

That number is switched off.

But, there are two calls made from
the same IMEI number on the next night.

To one number.
'- Were you able to trace it?'

The details of that number is
a bit shocking.

It belongs to Eechampatti Srinivasan.

He too got murdered.

He was stabbed to death.

But it doesn't end there, sir.

The third call was made last night
to somebody in Tiruvannamalai.

One Mr Sridhar.

'He is still missing.'

Sir. We are at the spot.

It's Sridhar, the textile owner.

Okay, sir.

Hey...

We've been riding in the same gear
for so long now.

Why don't you change the gear?

Looks like you're no
longer scared, huh?

I got used to it.

Sir, enjoying the trip, huh?

Are you enjoying it?

Definitely.

My travel is not yet over.

Shall I answer your question
after I finish it?

Okay.

"No more, no less,
this is all I want"

'Usually, it's the snake
that goes after the rat.'

'But what if the rat walks
right up to the snake?'

Okay, sir. We will do it.

Okay sir.

Fisu, I've asked Niyas
to go with you to the doctor tomorrow.

Don't go alone, okay?

I'll manage, Mom.

And don't go walking on the terrace
till I'm back, alright?

Your phone is ringing.
Go check.

Sir.
'-Fareeda, what's your plan?'

Sir, I'll be heading to Tiruvannamalai.

One thing is confirmed.

If this doesn't end with three murders,
the killer is definitely on the move.

- Sir.
- Yes?

- Who am I?
- Dhaya.

Thank you sir.
Thank you.

"Ah! In this sweet, rapturous life,"

"Oh! The world sways in delight"

"It dances wild, it plays, it twirls"

"It dances wild, it plays, it twirls"

"It dances wild, it plays, it twirls"

- "It dances wild, it plays, it twirls"
- "It dances wild, it plays, it twirls"

"It dances wild, it plays, it twirls"

What's special there?

A temple fest at his village.
So he asked us to come there.

I see.

Idiot!

You...

You're cussing, huh?

Why not?

You're asking me as if your
generation invented such words!

We curse too.

When it's needed.

[Over PA] 'Announcement to the devotees.'

'The temple is hosting'
'a holy feast for all devotees'

'All are warmly welcomed.'

Dhaya, I enquired about it.

With 4-digit PINs,
there are 10,000 combinations.

Even if we try 2 possible PINs every day,

it'll take 13 years, 8
months, and 15 days.

What the hell, buddy? 13 years?

Just a minute.

My friends are here.
I won't come be able to come tonight.

What are you doing
with the door locked?

Went to the bathroom
Now I'm pouring drinks.

He's super disciplined about this.

Perfect daily routine!

It's all because of him!

Cheers.

'Presenting before you,
a grand performance!'

"Yesterday, you and I met"

"Only to forget we ever did"

"Yesterday, you and I met"

"Only to forget we ever did"

"A breeze, a cool breeze blows"

"A play unfolds, what might it hold?"

"What's got us rapt,
is it something in the air?"

"It's a song, a whole new song!"

"We dance to our own beat!"

"When two hearts meet"

"It's a song, a whole new song!"

"We dance to our own beat!"

"When two hearts meet"

"Yesterday, you and I met"

"Only to forget we ever did"

Give me a minute.

Hello?

Is this Sivaselvam?

Yes. Who are you?

You won't recognize me by my name.

But you'll remember 'Madhumitha'.

'You must come.'

I'll tell you where you
should meet me in an hour.

"By the riverbank,
Where flowers bloom with heady scents"

"I'm reminded of the days I longed
for the love deep within your heart"

"Oh my love, you're a tree rooted deep"

"Your buds have bloomed
from a silent sleep"

"Despite the swaying heart"

"With a garland, you and I would wed"

"Our gazes... they bloom"

"As we rustle beneath this shroud"

"One glance, and I hold on tight"

"Stringing flowers into a garland"

"Has an evil-eye been cast our way?"

"Are they seeking answers yet?"

"Pave way, for pleasure is on its way!"

"It's a song, a whole new song!"

"We dance to our own beat!"

"When two hearts meet"

"Yesterday, you and I met"

"You and I met"

"Only to forget we ever did"

"Only to forget we ever did"

"A breeze"

"A cool breeze blows"

"A play unfolds"

"What might it hold?"

"What's got us rapt,
is it something in the air?"

"It's a song, a whole new song!"

"We dance to our own beat!"

"When two hearts meet"

"It's a song, a whole new song!"

"We dance to our own beat!"

"When two hearts meet"

- And then?
- Then what?

Threw the phone in the river
and escaped!

Sounds like an adventure.
Whose story is this?

It's one of his love stories.

Turns out the girl was
a cop's daughter.

So he ran for his life.

Now that girl was passing by the road.

But why toss the whole phone?

Just throw away the SIM.

That's where the IMEI number comes in.

What's that?

Every phone has a unique code.

Even without the SIM,
the phone will have that number.

Even with a different SIM,
it can be tracked.

Where you are, who
you're talking to, all of it.

I see.

Nowadays it's so difficult
to execute a crime.

What, sir?

What are you thinking about?

No, nothing much...

He's from Salem,

and you're from Erode.

How did you two meet?

The jail united us!

Oh, you guys are jail friends?

Sir, he's not what you think.

He's on another level!

I've been asking him to stop
all these and join me.

He just doesn't listen.

Well...

how are you so confident in
travelling with him?

Me travelling with him?

He's the one tagging
along with me!

I see!

You hear that, Dhaya?

He's already dozed off.

He's leading by
a huge margin now!

Hey, Sivaselvam.

Shall we meet?

Who are you?

And who is Madhumita?

I'll send your wife a video.

It will say who Madhumitha is.

Then you'll know.

Hey, please. Please don't.

Tell me what I should do now.

Shit...

Did you manage to track the location?

Not the exact location, sir.
But we've located the tower.

Very short call, sir.

Sorry, sir.
We missed the first call.

Tell me, Pradeep.

Madam, the phone
with that IMEI was switched on,

made 2 calls, then switched off.

It was in the Salem area.

When was the second call?

About five minutes ago.

Then the murder might
happen any minute.

Alert the team and get the details
of the guy who attended the call.

- Driver... Start the vehicle.
- Okay, sir.

Listen,

I've read lots of news about
blackmailing and honey-trapping.

If I go to the police, you're screwed.

This was long ago,
and now you're...

How do you even
know my wife's number?

Who are you?!

Knowing who I am

is of no use to you.

You bloody...!

Number not moving any more.

Michael, have you reached?

Not yet, madam.
Another 10 minutes maybe.

This happened long back?

When exactly?

Sir... sir... sir...

Around three and a half years ago...

Three and a half years?

Two years, sir... two years.

How many kids apart from her?

Oh, no... no...

No one else, sir. I swear!

How many kids do you have?
Which classes are they in?

One daughter in 10th grade.

and a younger son in 7th.

My reputation will be gone
if my family gets to know, sir.

I made a mistake, sir.
I accept it.

I can compensate you, sir.

Please sir...

Sir... sir...

Won't it unlock with your face?

It's Madhumitha's mom on the line.

If she forgives you,

so will I.

'Hello. Who is this?'

Madam... I am...

Sivaselvam here, madam.

Madhumitha's class teacher, madam.

I...

Sir...

She hung up, sir.

That means she didn't forgive you.

Sir... sir...

Let me try once again, sir.
One more time.

Please.

Go faster.

Can you track the exact location?

Almost, madam.

- Dhina?
- Sir, I'm on it. On it.

Hurry up!

A teacher is equal to God.

Kids believe whatever
you tell them.

Is that true?

There was another guy with you, right?

What's his name?

I was alone, sir.
I swear.

Arun, sir.

Brief me about him, for five marks.

Sir, from what they said,
the murder will happen for sure.

But it'll take us 10 minutes to reach.

Madam, we can catch
the killer later also.

But it's the question of a life...

Is he the one?

Yes, sir.

He'll know if I mention
your name, right?

Yes, sir.

Any code words?

No, sir.

I didn't inform them, sir!

I didn't inform the police, sir.
I didn't.

Tamil Nadu police
is like this, right?

Sir...

Sir...

Sir...

Sir...

Oh, no!

"Let what must happen, happen"

"Even if justice must hide in shadows"

"Let it lie concealed in the dark"

Ganesh...

Ganesh...?

Tell me!

- I've been calling you since long.
- What happened?

I think it's your friend's dad.

He's lying unconscious by the road.
Come fast.

Dhaya...

There, there he is!

Are you here, Kumar?

What happened?

When I woke up,

I stepped out for a walk.

A thief hit me and snatched my phone.

It's okay.
You're alright.

You may all leave.
I'll take care of him.

Ganesh...

Looks like his hand is injured.
Careful.

- My friend's dad. He's unwell.
- Does it hurt? -Yes.

- Want to see a doctor?
- Maybe later.

Rest for a while.
You'll be okay.

We can leave once you feel better.

To where, Kumar?

I'll tell you.

I feel scared...

Of what?

Of forgetting myself.

That won't happen.

Everything will be fine.

Just rest.

You saw that, right?

How can I get the PIN from him?

Sometimes I really feel bad for him.

Don't get too emotional, buddy.

You won't survive like that.

Did he come on this bike?
Look closely.

Yes. This one.

In that case, can you
help us to draw him?

Sorry, sir.

I've only drawn trees
and birds as a kid, sir.

But drawing people's faces...

Idiot!

Just describing is enough, man.
A guy from the department will draw him.

Then okay.

Madam, we've got a clue.

It's an old phone.
But it works.

Buy a SIM card on your way.

Who is this guy, Kumar?

My schoolmate.

I guess it's from the shock.

Don't know when he'll
be back to normal.

Can't let him go too.

Do one thing then.

Go to Coimbatore and bring him
to the farmhouse.

Let's finish the deal there.

You have a farmhouse, dude?

Not mine, benami property.

Look at you!

Isn't this Madhumitha's house?

Do you know Sivaselvam,
the school teacher?

Sivaselvam...

He didn't behave like a teacher.

He...

shot a video of Madhu and
threatened her that he'd post it online.

She begged me to move her
to another school.

Mom, I don't wanna go
to that school.

Please put me in another one?

Why do you keep
asking the same thing?

Go study.

Please, mom.

Madhu...

That rascal didn't
stop there and...

he sent my daughter
with another guy.

He too...

It didn't stop there.

He asked Madhu
to arrange her friend for him.

She's a little girl.
What would she know?

Her friend Dhanya too
got trapped in this.

One day, the police came home
enquiring about Dhanya's missing.

Why is the police asking
you about her?

I'm asking you!
Tell me!

Mom...!

Dhanya got trapped
because of me, Mom!

What are you saying?

Yes, Mom! I'm the one
who trapped her!

Please save Dhanya, mom.

I couldn't think much that day.

My worry was that
if I tell this to others,

my daughter's image
will be tarnished.

I told her not to tell this to others,
and that her friend will come back.

Kids should be brave enough
to admit their mistakes.

And they should feel they can trust
their family, no matter what.

It's our responsibility
to give them that trust.

Otherwise, what's
the point of a family?

A child psychologist from an NGO
gave my daughter counselling.

They even offered full
support to file a case.

But I stopped the counselling...

I was scared of how
my husband would react.

The reason for my daughter's
suicide is not just Sivaselvam.

It's also her guilt that
Dhanya went missing because of her.

I never showed this letter
to anybody till now.

Do you know the Arun
mentioned in this?

Don't know.

I don't know who did this.

I had thought that there's no God.

But God is there.

Kumar... Where are we going now?

To Dhaya's house.

Who is Dhaya?

My friend.

Mom...

Mom...

MOM!

MOMMMM!

Just a minute.

Mother queen! Bless me!

Blessing, my foot!

Mom!

She's a bit mad at me.

Please wait.

Mom!

I swear he's got memory issues!

He was roaming around,
not knowing how to to to Palakkad.

I thought I will help.

He was okay till the milk shop.

Is memory loss like electricity now?
Comes and goes?

It's just the starting stage!
It's like that!

When it kicks in,
I become his son, Kumar, a cop.

I understand that
you're doing something fishy.

It's all fine till his condition kicks in
and he mistakes you for his son.

But leave before he
thinks I'm his wife!

Leave! Get going!

Mom! Mom!

Mama... Mama...

He was a bit of a torture at first.

But I'm used to it now.

A naive guy he is.

Who said he is not?

Sir...?

You've been looking at
the photo for a long time.

Your wedding was on April 17 too?

Yours was too?

Yes.

Interesting! You remember these things!

See, Mom?

Her birthday was also
on the same date.

Whatever I forget,
how can I forget that phase of life?

Why?

Was yours a love marriage?

"This breath is all I own"

"And in it lives one wish alone"

"A heart that'll never forget you"

"Your gazes'
'and your sweet nothings, all mine"

Meenu! Kumar and Krishnaveni are here!

"Your every woe and
your every joy, all mine"

"There is this one life"

"And I have just this one truth"

By aunt, bye uncle.

Safe journey.

"Against the bellowing winds"

"Like a crow flapping'
'and finding its way"

"I, too, take flight and drift away..."

"Is your love the sky'
'I'm soaring through?"

"Will this shore, or this song of mine"

"Ever feel the breath of you?"

"My beloved, my dear dearest!"

"This breath is all I own"

- Hello, madam.
- Hi.

She's my daughter, Pavithra.

I brought her to you
for counselling last year.

She's better now,
doing well in her studies.

- She's a school topper now.
- Wow, that's awesome to hear!

Thank you so much. We are off.

Thank you.

- Study well.
- Okay, madam.

All the best.

"Your every woe and
your every joy, all mine"

Meenu?

Listen... Sambar is ready.

Idli too will be ready in ten minutes.
We can have breakfast then.

Why are you cooking at this hour?

What's this?
Are you making fun of me?

Look there.

What's bothering you?

I'll wait in the classroom.

How are you feeling?
You can open up to me.

Don't cry.

I feel scared, madam.

She is working as a child
psychologist in an NGO.

So she goes to many
schools for counseling.

It was all going well till now.

I feel scared to send
her alone, doctor.

Will Vascular Dementia get better
if treated in the initial stages?

There's no medicine
for memory loss, Velan.

'Going forward, she might forget
places, people she's been with,'

'and even herself.'

We must get him the
punishment he deserves!

Yes, madam.

Dear, be brave.

I'm rooting for you.

'Alzheimer's disease is
like this, Velan.'

'You have to be prepared mentally.'

Meenu...

Meenakshi...

You were waiting here?

Have you been waiting for a long time?

You could've just turned on the AC
and sit inside the car.

Why are you looking at me
like you're seeing me for the first time?

Come, get into the car.
Let's go.

Sir...

Shall we go, sir?

Dhaya...

You may stay back, man.
Don't come with me.

Just drop me at the bus stand.

Sir...

Hey, drop him at Palakkad, okay?

He just came home.
Let him stay back. I shall go.

No, sir. You might take
the wrong route

and if you go missing, we'll have
to stick posters and look for you.

Hey! Go drop him at Palakkad.

See, she said that. Come now!

Alright.

Hey, Dhaya!

Hey sidekick!

I didn't see you around! Why?

Ask her! Madam is quite busy these days!

Got caught now, right?

Who is he?

He?

He is my friend.

Can you make me too your friend?

It's okay. I was just kidding.

What's your name?

- Amutha.
- Amutha.

So sweet!

Please talk to mom, sir.
I'll go for a small ride with my friend.

Bike?

When did you buy it?

Office bike.

Dhaya... Listen to what I say.
Drop me at the bus stand.

Even your mom is all alone.

Mom doesn't have a problem with it.
She is okay.

Have you ever asked
her if she is okay?

You yourself assume that she's okay.

Shall I tell you something?

What?

I'm thinking about giving up stealing.

Thinking about it.
That's all.

Okay?

You thought about it, right?

Mom, I'm driving.
Don't you know that?

Hey, Dhaya... There's a cheque
in front of the God's photo.

With an amount of ten lakh rupees
to your name.

What happened?

Mom said there's a cheque
of ten lakh rupees

in front of the God's photo.

You started thinking about
giving up stealing, right?

So good things will happen.

Let's go, Dhaya.

Get going.

An unforgettable journey.

What to do?
You'll forget this too.

Maybe try some gestures to remind me,

like Kamal Haasan
in 'Moondram Pirai' movie.

Oh-no!
I'm not such a great actor like him!

Alright. Hurry up.

Got things to do tonight.

Tonight it's your treat, boy!

Let's stay at Coimbatore tonight
and go to Palakkad tomorrow.

We could've stayed at my home instead.

I have to drink, right?

Right!

If not Dhanya's relative,
who else could it be, madam?

It's so confusing.

At the first murder site,
there are two people's fingerprints.

For the rest, there were only one.

Hammer, knife, rope, chain...

he's been using different tools.

A call was made before
Sivaselvam's murder.

The killer doesn't have
a pattern, does he?

What if he's a serial killer who doesn't
know that serial killers follow a pattern?

Patterns are not always
followed consciously.

The victims...

they don't even have mutual friends.

Without anything in common,
how can we move forward, Kanagaraj?

- There's something in common, madam.
- What?

Never mind, madam.
It's a lame joke.

It's okay. Tell me.

All the four were men.

Dhaya... You came back so soon?

There was a TASMAC liquor store
nearby.

Hey, Dhaya...

'What's the matter?'

Hello? Where are you?

Now, in Japan.

Mom, I'm in Coimbatore.

'Let me send you the location'

'I'll book an Uber and come'

Hey, take good care
of your sir, okay?

Hold on, Mom.

Who's it, Dhaya?

Let me check.

Sir, did you order anything?

Yes. Pay him.

Mom, I'll call you back.

I don't have change, sir.

Keep the change. Go.

'But why toss the whole phone?'

Just throw away the SIM.

That's where the IMEI number comes in.

What, sir? What are you thinking about?

A thief hit me and
snatched my phone.

Did you collect the order, Dhaya?

- Did you pay him?
- Yes.

Okay. Go take a bath now.

Yes! Correct!

- Are you sure?
- Yes, sir!

He looked like this, sir.

Have it.

Feels a bit sad thinking
this trip's about to end.

Me too.

Why do you seem so serious?

Worried about your mom?

Didn't I ask you to
not come with me?

Go call your mom now.
She'll be waiting.

Mom...

A water bottle, please.

- No balcony in any of the rooms?
- No, sir.

It's all because of him!

The bike's key?

Maybe it's on the bike itself?

- Is the room good?
- First-class, sir.

Alright. Hurry up.

Got things to do tonight.

I am ready, Velayudham Pillai.

Did you talk to her?

Is she okay?

All okay.

What happened?
You still seem serious.

No, no!

Alright.

Let me go take a bath.

You carry on.

'My name is Sundaram.'

'I've come from Dubai.'

'Sivaselvam sir gave
me your number.'

'I need a girl for
household work.'

'Aged aroung 15-16.'

'I hope you understand.'

'Yes, I too heard that
and had gone there.'

'That's why I approached you.'

'I'll pay you 3 lakhs as advance.
Rest of the money...'

'after seeing the girl.'

'If cash transaction is okay for you,'

'message me soon.'

'Shall we meet today?'

'I'm here in Coimbatore as well.'

'Isn't everything safe?'

Hey, stop!

Why such high speeds?

- In a hurry, huh?
- It's a bit urgent, sir.

Turn off the engine.

Please, sir.

Alright. Go see him.

Pay 500 for not wearing
a helmet and leave.

'It's my friend's bike, sir.
We are roommates.'

Why are you showing me the phone?

Wanna show that it's my friend's.

Give me your address.

Singanallur, sir.

What's your father's name?

Shanmugam, sir.

Where do you live?

14th, Krishna Gardens, sir.

If you dare overspeed, you're done for.

I'd never do that again, sir.
Thank you, sir.

Hey! Come.

Are you drunk?

Sir, I am MLA Manimaran's driver.

I went home after my duty
and had a couple of drinks.

But then he asked me
to come home urgently.

If you want, call him and ask, sir.

Tell me the number.

Don't drink and drive again.

Leave now.

Meenakshi?

Meenakshi?

Meenakshi?

Meenu?

They're calling you, dear.

What's your name?

I asked you what your name is.

Meenu.

What's your full name?

Please answer me.

You don't know?

Do you recognize him?

Do you recognize him or not?

She doesn't know him?

Your honour...

It's dementia.

She has completely
lost her memory.

Here are the medical reports.

Meenu?

They came to the court trusting me.

They withdrew the case, it seems.

It's their case.
And they withdrew it.

What can we do about it?

SP sir...

Hello, sir.

I've noted down all details
in this diary, sir.

These kids should be served justice.

These culprits should be punished, sir.

Not just an arrest.

If the cases go to court,

poor kids will get scared.

Finish them off, sir.

We'll do it, madam.

People like them...

don't deserve to be alive.

They must die.

Thank you so much, sir.

My husband is waiting outside.

I'll take your leave.

Madam, please sit.

I'll go and bring him here.

Okay.

"This breath is all I own"

"And in it lives one wish alone"

"A heart that'll never forget you"

'She even forgot me,
the one who meant the world to her.'

'Yet the children who suffered
remained in her thoughts.'

"Your gazes and your sweet
nothings, all mine"

"Your every woe and your
every joy, all mine"

'People like them...'

'don't deserve to be alive.'

'They must die.'

'Finish them off, sir.'

- Dinesh?
- Sir?

Isn't this Dhayalan?

Yes, sir. He looks like Dhaya.

Dhaya...

I want to tell you
something very important.

- Hi.
- Hey. Come on in.

You didn't leave
for Palakkad yet?

I'm Ganesh!

No...

We were roaming around
here and there.

Get ready and come.
I'll wait downstairs.

Come, man.

- Carry on.
- Okay.

Why did you ask me to come?

Come, I'll tell you.

He seems to be a notorious criminal!

I thought he is a good man!

No matter how much ever rich he is...

I can't forgive him for this.

Dammit!

They're just small kids!

Even I'm not a
good person, I agree.

But I can't accept this.

He conned you well, man!

We shouldn't leave him like that.

You even took him home!

Amutha...!

Dammit!

Hey...

Let's step outside.

I felt some connection
with him somewhere.

Screw it! I don't want his money!

Are you nuts?

We should take money
from such bad people.

He doesn't have any
memory issue and all, right?

Let's take him to the farmhouse.

I'm so furious that I may just...

He tricked me nicely!

I blindly trusted him.

Dhaya...

We underestimated him.

Let's now show him who we are.

Give me a minute.

Shall we go?

Ganesh wants to
visit his farmhouse.

Why not? You guys go there.
I'll get going.

Why are you in such a hurry?
Is anybody waiting for you?

I'm not in a hurry...

Then what?

We couldn't party well that night.
We slept too early.

Let's party today.

You may leave after that.
I can drop you at Palakkad in my car.

We'll see that later.

Let's now go to the farmhouse with him.

Full music! Full on!
We'll rock the party!

Of course! We can do whatever we want.
Nobody will question us!

It'll be fun. Our last party.

Okay, if you say so.

Okay, superb.

Go with him in his car.

I'll buy the booze and other
stuff and come.

My cooking! Hey, send
me the location.

Let's go.

You guys go first.
I'll join in a while.

Careful, okay?

Please check if she received any calls
after his release.

Also, enquire in
the jail as well.

About whether he
had any cell mates.

If he didn't call his mom,

he would've called
his friends for sure.

Check if any of the numbers

in those friends' call
history is travelling.

Okay, madam.

I forgot to ask your name
when you came home the other day.

Velayudham Pillai.

Velayudham Pillai from Salem!

No! Madurai!

What did you use to do in Madurai?

Will you ask everything
while driving?

Do you lie a lot?

There's this friend of mine.

His name is Kalai.

One day, he came to my home.

This story happened several years ago.
Is that okay with you?

No worries. Tell me.

'Their location has been tracked.'

'We are en route, sir.'

'Well done. Okay, Fareeda.'

You remember all your
old stories so well!

Do you really have
a memory condition?

What are you looking for?

No...

Dhaya?

I've shared him the location.
He'll come.

Okay.

Whenever you visit Coimbatore,
do you stay in the farm?

No way.

It'll take a lot of time
to go there and return!

Is that your own farm?

In a way, yes.
But you can call me a caretaker too.

Dual role.

It's my friend's farm.
I'm taking care of it.

You're looking for Dhaya, right?
He'll come.

Can you please stop the car?

What happened?

Gotta take a leak.

We've almost reached.

It's quite urgent.

Then pee in the car itself!

Just kidding!
We're almost there.

Not bad, huh?

You caught me, huh?

So, the one I was looking for...

Arun, is that you?

Let it be.

Who are you, man?

What's the link between you and I?

Why are you roaming around with Dhaya?

Remember Madhumitha?

That schoolgirl?

Are you her father?

Oh...

Dhanya's father?

Are you here looking for her?

She's living happily in Singapore.

They are small girls, man!

It's okay.

For me, girls are like mangoes.

Whether ripe or unripe,

I devour them with passion.

That too, if it's a tender mango,

I'll enjoy it to the fullest!

I'll share with others too.

You're such a terrible person,

does Dhaya know that?

He's so useless.
He won't do such things.

Do you know what will happen
if he gets to know?

Mr Mareesan,

in the version of the story he knows,
you are the villain.

Pedophile.

By the time he reaches,
you better die here!

Just die!

I've already given him his share of blows.

Now it's your turn.

Dhaya...

We took you lightly.

Why, sir?

Why did you roam around
with me for a week?

Let's finish him, I say!

We can bury him right here.

Nobody's gonna find out.

Memory issue, huh?

Untie him, Ganesh.

What for?

Untie the knot.

He fooled you, Dhaya.

Untie the knot!

What else do you have to ask him?

Let me kill him with my hands!

I said, untie him!

Why are you stopping me?

Dhaya...

What the hell are you doing?

What's this new habit, Dhaya?

Do you know what he was saying?

I know what he was saying,

and also what Mr Arun was saying.

Sir...

Not bad, huh?

You caught me, huh?

So, the one I was looking for...

Arun, is that you?

You're such a terrible person,

does Dhaya know that?

He's so useless. He won't do such things.

In the version of the story he knows,
you are the villain.

Pedophile.

We can cut the call now, sir.

Oh! So no point in
talking anymore!

Dhaya...

Your friend, huh?

Do you really have to do this?

Dhaya, I'm your friend!

Dhaya...

Please leave, sir!

Let go, Dhaya!

Listen to me, Dhaya!

Sir...

- Mr Velayudham Pillai...
- Sir.

Can you tell us why you committed
all these murders?

If I tell you that,
you'll ask for proofs.

Not everybody can
come to the court, right?

They are kids.
Poor souls.

Even if they come, they can't
stand the questions you ask.

Okay. Let's say that all of
them were child abusers.

But how can you
kill them for that?

You will reform
the state all alone, huh?

Please forgive me, sir.

I'm not a complete
fool to think that

I can reform the state all alone.

Why did you commit
these murders then?

Nothing much, sir.

They find joy in raping small kids.

And I find joy in killing such people.

So, do you confess that
you did all the murders,

Mr Velayudham Pillai?

Yes, sir.

Sir, she passed away
carrying all that pain.

I thought I'd do three or four good things
before my time's up,

Well, it ended up in five!

Also,

there's that place where
they abandon old people...

That place...

What's it called, Dhaya?

Oh no, this time I
really forgot, Dhaya.

Old age home.

Yeah.

Old age home!

Instead of rotting away
in a place like that,

isn't it better
to spend my last days in jail

after taking down these monsters?

Do you have any concluding words,
Mr Velayudham Pillai?

Kindly declare your verdict, Your Honour.

In view of the fact that Velayudham Pillai,
the primary accused,

has confessed to the offense,

and in light of the
officers' findings that

the charges against Dhayalan,
the secondary accused, are unsubstantiated,

the Court hereby orders that

pronouncement of the verdict is
postponed to the following week.

Just a minute.

Wait.

In what joy, ma'am?
For me going to the jail?

My daughter has
given birth to a baby girl.

I thought I should share
this news with you first.

Thank you.

- Sir...
- Yes?

I am Madhumitha's mom.

Really?

They are Dhanya's parents.

- Hello.
- Thank you, sir.

Madam...

Have you been able
to rescue Dhanya?

Don't worry.
We've rescued her.

How old were those girls?

Around 13 - 16.

Sixteen years!

No, Dhaya...

You shouldn't do it!

Don't do it! No!

Leave him to me!

Don't you anything stupid, okay?

Dhaya... Dhaya,,,

For the peanuts he'd give you,
don't act so much, Dhaya!

Come join me.

You'll be filthy rich then!

Hey... Dhaya...

Listen to me, Dhaya.

We're not that different.

No... there's a world of difference

between you and me.

Hey! What the hell did you do, huh?

How many times did I stop you?!

Did you think about yourself?

Did you even think
about your mom?

I thought only about those girls.

Such a noble person!
So thoughtful!

And you?!

Bug off, you!

Sir...

Let go of me, man!
I should at least think about you!

Sir!

Are you feeling embarrassed that
you killed your friend?

I feel happy that
I did something good in life.

Kumar, take good
care of Krishnaveni.

Please forgive me, uncle.

[Indistinct chatters]

You could've escaped from me
whenever you wanted.

Why didn't you do it?

I felt that you could
be of use to me.

Why are you laughing?

Isn't that your ATM PIN?

Whatever you forget in life,
will you be able to forget that?

It's your wedding day, isn't it?

And moreover, isn't it
madam's birthday?

Kumar calls you uncle, right?

Yes.

I never called anybody 'Dad'.

Well, when I saw you at Nagercoil,
you were chained...

That...

that's where I committed
my first murder.

Who are you, huh?

Who the hell are you?
How dare you barge into my house!

She's not even your daughter!

Why are you so hurt then?

You!

It'll hurt me...
no matter whose daughter she is.

Are you home, Kumar?
