To ably bestow righteousness

To create the world justly

When you possess all that power

Why do you want

to execute it unjustly?

Even after creating

so much agony

Do you still claim yourself

to be at a higher state?

Sir, that was

just a story.

Why do you want

examine that so much?

How can you take it so lightly?

Everything we

express has an impact

What we see, read, and hear

Isn’t that that our

intellect? Mind?

Everyone here is just

a puppet of situations

I ‘m not a puppet Sir, I am

the creator who controls them.

Egotism?

Not just empires...

It spares none – not even those

who proclaimed

themselves as Gods.

To create something like this

It takes an enormous

amount of time

relentless hard work,

and unwavering focus.

Shaping something truly valuable

demands that

level of dedication.

But to destroy it?

Just a moment!

Oh! Divine mother!

Sri La Sri Brihaspathi

Lakshmana Upasakar

means?

That's my name

Let it be

I am

Dhanapal.

Oh, I know you, sir!

Quite an infamous

Don in the city!

Word's gotten around, sir,

that you've taken

down 49 people

I get that there’s

some sort of problem.

The cowrie shells

indicate that...

If you could provide

more details…

I mean, it would help

me understand better.

The recent new

moon that just went by..

Completed the 49

th murder on that day

When I head home with

a sense of job satisfaction.

I enjoy the country

chicken fry my wife makes.

Oh! Great.

Of late, my wife doesn’t want

me to continue this profession.

Oh, are

you some

kind of a cricket player?

Playing hard for

that 50s and 100s?

Start some kind of

business and settle down !

You’re still wandering

around with a gun.

I’m hungry; stop

pestering me

Get me the fry.

Oh! Is that an order?

Oh, you’re such a big don right?

Go on, head to the field,

chase down a chicken yourself,

Let's see if you can

actually pull that off.

Then I’ll cook it for you.

Angrily, she asked

me to get that myself...

I took on the challenge.

Decided to get that.

The chicken’s running,

I’m running,

It's running ahead of me,

I'm chasing behind.

A chase like this,

not even in my 49 'incidents,

have seen or done it.

I was worn out.

The chicken got confused.

Finally..

I got hold of the chicken.

I held the knife to its throat.

Fear of death.

It's looking at me in fear.

I started to cut,

slowly… bit by bit,

it kept slipping

right into my hands.

My hands were covered in blood,

throbbing… it finally died.

Then, I dropped

it into hot water...

As it boiled...

In my body,

same way ..

blood..

started to boil too!

chicken fry!

its aroma !

So tasty !

But..

I couldn’t bear it.

Why?

That was a strange feeling...

It’s like...

you know, as they say...

sort of disturbing.

I decided not to eat the

chicken and went to bed.

As I turn...

My wife is right next to me.

She was laughing all night.

It’s New Moon day, right?

It’ll be like this.

Did you mention it

as country chicken fry?

You can very well have

that after few days, right?

That’s not the problem.

Then?

Next day, a small assignment.

As I'm taking the knife out.

When the chicken was being

cut, I heard a sound... right?

the chicken's scream.

I could hear it...

I can sense that suffering...

My whole body is shaking,

my hands are trembling,

Sweating profusely!

So, it was easy for

you to murder 49 people

But, after

slaughtering a chicken

You are trembling?

You couldn't hit a halfcentury,

And, you’re here for a solution?

Hey, next one is a

bigger assignment.

Political vendetta

and a big shot too.

After this execution, I am

planning to quit

this and get settled.

Just get me a solution!

The astrological

alignment looks pathetic!

Someone who's been with you,

someone you've fed,

is trying to kill you

in a barbaric way.

You've ruthlessly

determined the fate of many.

Now, the one writing your fate

has decided to end it savagely.

Hey..

Just tell me the remedy.

If there was a remedy,

wouldn't I tell you?

Do you know this

story from the Purana?

like how Markandeya

got hold of Shiva?

Similarly, just get hold of your

creator and seek

for your justice.

All I can offer is..

An offering to a deity

or a Sacrificial

Ritual as a remedy.

That’s it!

You start the rituals.

While I find the culprit

and end his play.

Who even reads story

series these days, Vasan?

Everything's changed.

They say it's all about

videos and YouTube now.

It is the annual book fair,

That still draws a

crowd. No one else reads.

Did you meet my

brotherinlaw as suggested?

Why don’t you write

scripts for TV serials?

You could make some money!

Sir,

Leading magazines are still

publishing story series, right?

There’s still an

audience for it.

I'm asking openly

We're printing so

many copies every week

what are we doing with them?

Vasan, forget about

the leading magazines

and focus on our story.

You know our owner,

Vinayagam, right?

His grandfather started

this publishing house.

Now, he’s running

it for his father.

If his father dies,

What’s next? He

would shut this down!

Even, I'm telling you openly

he recently started

a supermarket right ?

To anyone who buys

anything from there, Instantly

He gives the

magazine as a freebie.

Just like how

they give coriander

as a compliment after

buying vegetables.

Sir, I still get plenty of calls

Even emails from the readers.

But I don't get any such emails.

Yeah, maybe some people

might have read them.

People from the previous

generations could have read.

Whether anyone

agrees with me or not

I don’t care.

But one thing,

This is..

A dying art.

Yes.

I won't let that happen, Sir.

A writer is nothing

but a creator, a God

Poet Kannadasan said this...

I am eternal, never to fade,

Immortal I stand,

through space and time.

That's right.

Immortal I stand,

through space and time.

The poet's song

needs no approval.

Pull over by the roadside.

Okay, boss!

What's it?

The information seems true..

It seems like a longterm plan

Department has planted

someone inside your gang.

Yes !

Boss is always

lost in thought now.

Before completing a

50 or 100 in cricket...

The batsman slows

down with more dot balls.

It's like that.

The next assignment

is a crucial one.

We need to assert

our superiority.

He'll feel happy

once we get it done.

Won't we make it happen?

Don will hit his 50 mark !

It’s going to be a blast !

It's going to be a

nightmare for everyone.

This is a plan involving

many underworld men,

and your name is also

on the encounter list.

Please be careful.

Thanks, I'll

take care of it.

Kutti, just manage for one day,

I will somehow pay your

school fees tomorrow.

This is what you

tell me every day.

I'm the one facing

the scolding at school.

Your Dad will arrange the

required amount, for sure.

Go to school now,

He will pay the

fees in the afternoon.

Dad, getting us the money?

That’s a good joke

for the morning.

Has Kutti left for school?

Yeah Yeah..

His father just brought enough

money to send him to school.

Oh, he left to play?

Okay, forget it. We'll

manage by tomorrow.

I’m watching how

you manage every day.

See, you’re working too.

Why don’t you set aside

his fees from your salary ?

Move aside!

Hey..

Do you really

have to go on time?

Can't you go after an hour?

Yeah, such an hour delay,

is why that kid is even

here, playing outside.

And, We couldn't

send that kid to school.

I'm giving you all

the money I make,

and after spending it all,

now you're angry with me?

If you had saved your

daily alcohol money,

my son would be

going to school by now.

But that’s not going to happen.

A quarter bottle

is just 105 rupees

With that money, could

you have paid his fees?

All this powder

and your makeup..

are you getting that for free ?

Leave it, I have requested

our senior Madam for help,

and she has agreed, let’s hope

You could have

asked Radhika too.

Oh no, not that woman.

She flatout said no.

Even for a day’s leave,

she’ll deduct the salary.

She's that type.

If she’s not giving,

take it from her.

Try me!

You're starting to talk

rubbish these days.

What's wrong with the thought ?

Don't flaunt your morality.

Sister, wait a minute.

Tell me, Selvi.

What do people say

about me in the locality?

Should I even validate it?

You're always so poignant.

Selvi means righteousness.

Listen to it carefully.

Because of this pride of yours,

your son is playing outside

instead of going to school.

When we are righteous,

money will naturally come to us.

Where is it, dear? By now,

the money should be pouring in.

Its’ Madam…

Talk..

Hello,

Yes madam.

Tell me..

Okay madam.

I will come now.

Thank you so much madam.

What do you think now ?

My virtuous wife.

Come quickly, dear.

Let’s go before Madam

changes her mind.

Did you only ask for

2000 from that Madam?

I know what you're hoping

for, no chance, my dear.

No, it's just for my dues that

I'm asking, not for drinking.

If I get 600, it will help.

A quarter drink costs

only 105 rupees, right?

Are you planning

to get a full bottle?

Hey, stop talking about alcohol.

Dad!

I've been asking you

continuously, won't you tell me?

What did the leader say?

Raji dear, do you only

have to choose medicine?

Why not some other course?

Why, Dad?

What happened?

There’s an entrance

exam for that, right?

He says you have to crack it.

But they’re talking about

an exemption, right?

Not this year!

But our leader said he

has some quota for seats..

What can we do, dear?

There’s something called fate.

Someone sitting beyond,

decides everything.

What nonsense, Dad? You are

providing a discourse

on God and fate?

If there’s really someone

who decides our fate

I shall get hold of him

and demand my rights!

I'll go get the pesticide

from Murugan, you wait!

What happened?

Leader says it's not possible.

There's some entrance exam..

They say, It's a

tough one to clear.

Leave it, there are plenty

of other study options.

Come, have some food.

Leave me, I'm not hungry.

There’s no point in

being angry with us.

Raji, I have a high fever.

Please give me some

medicine if you have any.

See, here they are.

Need to get rid of

these people first.

Go and tell her

that she won't come,

If she’s unwell, ask

her to consult a doctor.

Where are you going ?

Answer me.

Don't go.

People around believe

she will become a doctor.

They believe in her abilities.

Yeah!!

Is it due to her working as

an attender during holidays?

You're inflating her

dreams unnecessarily.

We have another

daughter to take care of too.

Dad..

I will appear for

the entrance exam.

I will definitely

become a doctor.

How come, dear?

They say it’s tough

to clear that exam.

Dad, I will pass

the test for sure!!

What if you can't?

I'll write it again next year.

Yeah,

You keep rewriting

every year...

We will keep you at

home, unmarried, for life.

Let your sister fall victim

to your decision as well.

Let no one settle.

Raji...

Even if you get a seat to study,

Leader says, it will

take longtime to

get sufficient income

in that profession.

We have your sister

to take care of too.

You know our

financial situation well.

It will be difficult for

me to manage all of it.

I've been insisting

on this for a long time.

Not every bird soars

as high as an eagle.

We need to work

with what we've got.

Before she becomes a doctor,

the next child will already

be of marriageable age.

Of all this, your

pretense of the

leader getting us

a college seat...

How would I know?

The leader suddenly

said he's helpless now.

Now, they are going to

protest against

the entrance test.

They are asking us to join too.

Dad..

We will go and meet him.

We will, who else will

come and fight for our rights?

Go for the protest,

and face court cases too.

You've decided to drag

us into complications.

You only think about yourself.

If you listen to them

and act accordingly,

it will be us who

will face our end.

If you're still persistent,

As your parents, we

will commit suicide.

Then you become a big

doctor and save this world.

I don't want anyone

dying for my dreams.

Why are you speaking

to our daughter like this?

Talking about death and suicide?

Both of you, Do

whatever you want !

It's all my ill fate.

I'll step out for a while.

Anyway, it's been delayed.

We can't pay the fees today.

Let the money stay with me,

I'll pay it myself tomorrow.

Shame on you, don't

you have any trust in me?

Nope...

You better go to your

workplace by walk

No problem..

Hey, don’t overdo,

I’ll drop you!

Rohit...

Come here...

Which one do you want?

I told you, right?

He still doesn't understand

the value of money.

If you had taken the money

instead of the chocolate,

you could have bought

many chocolates.

Oh my God, could I have

bought a Nerf

gun with that note?

Yes, you could have

bought a big Nerf gun.

Dad, please give

me another chance.

No way!

You're asking for another

chance, you little brat?

Ashok, leave

the money

there, it's for the milkman.

Selvi, clean the hall first.

Okay, Mam.

Ashok...

Tell me...

Where have you

kept the 2000 rupees?

I've kept it on that table.

Check there.

It's not here.

Check carefully, I

just kept it on the table.

It's not here.

Come and search for yourself.

Hey...

You didn't check carefully;

I'm sure I left it here.

Where did it go?

Selvi...

I'm coming, madam.

Did you see the 2000rupee

note that was here?

No, ma'am, I didn't see it.

Weren't you cleaning

the hall just a while ago?

Yes Ma’am, but I

didn’t notice that.

Two days ago, for

your son’s school fees,

Didn't you ask for 2,000 rupees?

Stop it, Radhika, don't

rush into conclusions.

Ashok, haven’t I told

you enough times...

Not to interfere when

I’m speaking to her?

So, Selvi, tell me—who

else could have taken it?

Ma'am, I didn’t see any money,

and I’m not the kind

of person who steals.

Don’t worry, it must

be here somewhere.

No one steals anything

without a reason.

Ma’am, it must be here.

I’ll search for it myself.

Give me the money now, Selvi.

Hello,

Vasan, are you asleep?

Did I disturb you?

It's been a while; you

seem to have gotten busy.

You've switched to YouTube.

Have you started writing

reviews for story series again?

You’ve called

me out of the blue.

No, Vasan, I’m not

writing reviews these days.

I recently read your

story after a long time,

but it was disappointing.

Three story series are running.

Which one are you talking about?

The Raji story from Thodar Malar

Oh, it seems

Raji has

disturbed your sleep too.

Why did you stop the

story at such a point?

For a girl who only

wanted to study,

You’ve placed

poison in her hands.

Why don’t you let that girl win?

There are so many Rajis

who will read your story,

let it be a source of

motivation for them.

For the readers, it shouldn’t

instill fear of society.

What’s your problem

with letting Raji win?

Vasan..

Hello..

Vasan, are you still there?

Hello..

Vasan..

Vasan, I’m still on the line.

Hello,

Hello, Vasan..

Is victory meant for everyone?

Fate decides who

will be victorious.

But you shouldn’t

decide her fate;

It should get

shaped by her efforts.

This is just a

story, not real life.

In life, this is the

undeniable reality.

If that’s a story, what’s to

be created or destroyed,

How interesting or

engaging should it be

As the creator, I should

be the one to decide those.

Because I am the god

of this story’s world.

It’s because of gods like you,

Inequality exists in this world.

I understand, comrade

I’m not in the mood to

discuss equality right now.

You haven’t read it in a while;

I need to focus on

my regular readers.

Oh, so you’re blaming

your audience now?

It’s your sadistic mentality!!

Crookedness!

You’re writing just

to sell, knowing

Your characters won’t grab

your collar and demand justice.

Sir...

Buying a book doesn’t give you

the right to advise as you wish.

Vasan, you’ve misunderstood me.

I didn’t mean that.

Sir, Read it if you like,

or don’t read it at all!

Don’t lecture me on writing..

You’re misunderstanding

me, vasan.

If you have that much skill and

ideology, write

your own stories.

No, Vasan, what I meant was...

Why are you looking

at me like that, sir?

I’m Selvi.

Where’s that 2000 rupees, sir?

You’re the only one who

knows the truth—tell me.

I’m asking you, sir—tell me.

What? Do you need some water?

Even God can’t

blame me—I’m innocent.

You need to answer me now.

Oh,

so I’m supposed to

answer your question?

That 2000 rupees note?

Must be with you.

That was given by Ma’am

for my son’s school fees.

I’m aware of that,

but does your

employer Radhika know?

After searching the whole house,

she’ll eventually

check your purse.

If something like that

happens, I won’t stay alive!

Selvi,

this is my story.

I’ll decide whether

you live or die.

What’s wrong, Radhika?

You seem down.

Is there an issue?

Nothing like that.

It’s about Selvi.

Selvi?

She was here just a while ago.

She was here?

What did she say?

She must’ve insisted

she didn’t take the money.

She must’ve cried

and played the victim.

She’s been stealing small

things from the house.

Whenever I disciplined her,

Ashok supported her.

Yeah, men will always be men.

He has a soft corner for her.

It’s not just Selvi who

should be blamed.

Her husband’s a drunkard.

Because of his drinking, he

couldn’t save a single penny.

What the neighbors say about

Selvi is a whole other story.

They say her husband drinks

because of her illicit affairs.

I’m certain

She stole that 2000 rupees note.

Please confirm that for me.

Oh,

so you’re the one spreading

all those false rumors about me?

Who are you to

judge my behavior?

Don’t raise your voice, Selvi.

" Welcome my dear reader"

" Here’s a crazy battle "

" Welcome my dear reader "

" Here’s a crazy battle "

" From the heart of my

tale, two creations arise "

" Stepping out to

clash here in reality! "

" The dance of a puppet "

" controlled by the strings "

" Be it your fate or destiny "

" what’s in your

fight and struggle?"

" It’s this demon’s blessing! "

" It’s a puppetry game "

" Just be a witness "

" Be it a start or an end "

" what’s in your

cry and lament? "

" It only happens

according to your fate! "

Hush

You came to nicely

persuade him, didn’t you?

Oh, is it me who’s doing that?

Yes, Indhu, tell me.

Where’s your mobile?

Are you drinking?

No, I’m going to sleep.

The bus broke down; I might

reach Koyambedu by 8 or 8:30 am.

What ??

The bus broke down,

Am I audible or not?

No, I couldn’t hear you clearly.

Everyone’s talking

about your illicit actions.

Sure, as if you’re

some kind of saint.

How dare you?

I might get further delayed

in reaching Koyambedu

Call me when you reach.

Everyone at the

wedding was praising

about my saree and jewelry set.

I didn’t take the

money—can’t you understand?

She didn’t even talk.

Selvi: You never let me answer.

Somehow,

okay..

You named the gossiping

character after

her in your story.

Selvi: How can you

conclude that I ...

Hey Selvi, Radhika,

Can’t you both stay quiet?

Who is this Selvi?

No no, it's..

What's happening there ?

Nothing, I'm

just..here.. writing..

Have you started

doing these things too?

God!

No..listen to me..

Sir, you need to solve

this problem somehow.

First, step aside.

I want justice—where

is that 2000 rupees?

Some riffraff

questioning my integrity

And why should I stay quiet?

Get out of here!

I’ve told you

everything about her.

By now, you should’ve

understood the truth.

Hey, both of you, leave now.

I thought she was

the perverted one..

But it turns out, you’re

the real perverted one.

That’s why you created

someone as arrogant as you.

Don’t you have any shame at all?

Yes, Hello Indhu, Tell me..

Hello..

Am I audible ?

Yes, Who are you ?

Ashok, Radhika’s

Husband.

What do you want ?

I know my wife came to meet you.

She would’ve tried to convince

you to end this in her favor.

Don't fall for her smooth talk.

Uphold Justice !!

That is my need.

What? Did you understand ?

What do you people

even think of yourselves?

You people expect me to

act according to your whims?

I pull the strings here;

you’re just a puppet. Got it?

Get lost!

I won’t let this situation

get dirtier anymore.

I will give you two options.

You decide which one works best.

Radhika..

I’m talking to you.

So, you’re asking me

to beg at a thief’s feet?

No..

I didn’t mean it that way.

We don’t have any proof

that she took the money.

Either forget this incident now,

or relieve her of

her job right away.

Oh, so she’ll just steal the

money and walk away, right?

Radhika, what

if I hadn’t

kept the money on the table?

I could have made a mistake.

Ashok..

can’t you see how low

you’ve stooped to support her?

I’m confident she

took the money.

You’re not getting my point.

Once we check

the bag, we’ll know.

Radhika, please,

I’m pleading with you..

Don't make this

situation dirty..

I’m definitely going

to search her purse.

Then you’ll understand

her true nature.

Where are you going, Selvi?

I’m leaving for once,

I’ll never come to

this house again.

That’s your choice..

but give me the

money and then leave.

I haven’t taken any money.

That I will confirm.

Give me your purse.

I won’t give you my purse.

If you’re that honest,

why are you so afraid?

Give it to me..

No, I can't give you my purse.

Give it to me, Selvi!

The money inside

the purse is mine!

Madam gave it for my son's fees.

You thief! You stole it earlier,

and now you're lying to hide it!

Hand me your purse.

Please... My son has

to go to school tomorrow.

Selvi, Once I check, I’ll

know. Give me the purse.

No... I can't give

it to you... no...

Selvi..

I will never give..

why are you afraid?

Selvi: This is not

your money madam.

I got it for my son's

school fees. leave me..

Rohit..

Selvi: How many

times should I tell you.

What are you hiding ?

Let it go selvi..

Give it..

This is my 2000 rupees..

Not yours !!

Let me check !!

Rohit..

Show me that..

Show me..

Should I call the police ?

This is my 2000 rupees!

Let's see..

I can't leave it..

Give it to me now !!

Ashok..

Ashok..

What have you done?

I didn't do this ashok..

She fell on her own...

How many times

have I begged you...

Not to blow up this issue?

What are we going to do now?

She fell on her own, Ashok.

Hello, sir!

Ma'am, could you call Selvi?

She took the house key with her.

I’m coming directly from work.

Could you call her

soon? It’s urgent.

Selvi is not here..

Sir, her slippers are here..

Where is selvi ?

Selvi has left a while ago.

Sir, are you mocking me?

Selvi's slippers are outside..

Madam, has her purse..

Where is she ?

Selvi !!

Selvi!

Call her sir!

Where is selvi madam?

Selvi!

Selvi... Selvi..

What... what have

you done? Is she dead?

Oh, my Selvi!

selvi..

You’re dead!

Oh my god!

Claims himself to be a

great writer! Useless fellow!

If I had married a

police station writer,

even he would’ve sent

an auto to pick me up!

This damn key... why

won’t you come out?!"

Which corner is he

sitting, rubbing his beard?

He thinks he’s

some literary genius...

Where is he ??

Is this a house or some

kind of scrap shop?

oh God...

Where could he be?

My god !! What happened ?

Why are you hiding here ?

Say something..

Having married this guy,

what else do I need to endure?

Sigh..

Pretending to

think for the story,

If you keep sitting in

these pathetic places,

How can the story

ever turn out well?

It’ll just turn out

be another disaster!

Ahem..

Is the tea ready?

I'm still preparing it.

I am here only for

his cooking needs...

For all other desires, he’s

got other people coming in.

What on earth are you doing?

Why are there two glasses now?

Before the tea gets cold..

Ask them to come and have it.

Mad or what? Lamenting..

Yeah.. yeah..

Who knows who all live here?

I heard all that drama

on the phone last night.

Why are you blabbering now?

Oh.. I'm blabbering ???

Selvi..

Radhika..

Raghavi..

What name is it ??

There is no one

here by that name.

Yesterday’s a

whole different story.

Yeah...

You must have come up with

a beautifully

convincing story...

yeah... tell me

I’m all ears.

It's a common practice for me

to talk like the characters

when I'm writing a story.

Haven’t you seen me do this?

I was with you back then.

But not last night.

But...

There’s no time

for ifs and buts now.

I have to leave now

for the editor’s office.

After I leave, search

the whole house.

I’d be glad if you find any

evidence for your suspicion.

I have a submission today.

What submission?

You’re not going to

make a penny out of it.

Why ??

Will you only write story

series for magazines?

Can’t you write for

television serials?

You could at least

make some money.

Some how..

In your father's blessings..

We atleast have this house..

Otherwise, for sure,

we’ll be on the street

I avoided leading

magazines for lack of freedom.

Cinema and serials

just don’t suit me.

Okay ..

Please leave...

It's time for my TV serial.

He covered my face with a

plastic bag and

jerked me back...

sir..

Don’t look at me like that, sir.

Some people feel euphoric,

claiming a vision of God.

while others panic, saying

they've seen a ghost.

Can I tell you something ?

The sculptures we create...

Inside or outside the temple..

They live in their

own divine essence...

And they come

alive in procession...

There is such a belief.

For some people,

it’s just a belief...

Some might disapprove..

But for some, it’s an

experience in itself.

You’re not getting my situation,

just spouting philosophies.

Sir !! I’m not in a state

for philosophies right now."

I thought you’d give me

a rational explanation.

Oh!

So, Something

you can understand.

Yeah..

Dr. Ramakrishnan

is there, go visit him.

He will suggest you to

take an MRI, just get it done.

I get it.

You want me to get a

certificate for my sanity?

Thank you sir !!

Hey..

Hey..

Please..wait..

Hey...

You seem to be reading

something interesting, sir.

What’s this Vasan?

Tomorrow is the

publishing date..

And you're submitting it now?

No, sir, you asked for

a new story. Forgot?

I have mailed the usual three

for publishing this morning.

But I should have done

the proofreading first, right?

Give me!

Sir, Will I get my

paycheck today ?

Hmm..

Sir, did you kill Dhanapal?

I’m eagerly waiting

to see how this ends.

I know you’ll

kill him for sure...

but..

I’m confused about which

one of the five

is going to do it..

Okay, let him kill Dhanapal

in this week’s story!

Shall I ask him to include you

as a character

in the next story?

And, in the very next

issue, he’ll kill you too!

Here..

We have to proofread

and send it to the publisher,

Instead of that, you’re

wasting time

talking. Go do that.

Sir, it’s Mari, right? The

policeman among the gang?

You’ll execute

Dhanapal with him, right?

Yes, He’s going to kill

Dhanapal, please leave!

How can Mari become a policeman?

Why can't he sir?

He's Mari sir..

Oh god!

My bad luck, I have

to work with him.

What is this that's holding

your attention so curiously sir?

Yeah, it's a new writer's work.

He’s written an

interesting story, but..

It's not very believable.

What’s the idea?

In his story..

There's a writer

writing stories..

The characters from

his story appear in reality.

And ask him for justice.

Something like that..

Hello..

Is the paycheck ready?

It's for Vasan right ?

Bring it..

Sir..

What happens to

the writer in the story?

I don’t know, I just started

reading and you were here!

Sir..

If you’re okay with it,

can I read the story?

What, Vasan?

This is an unapproved story..

And I haven’t even read it.

How can I give it to you?

Okay, sir.

Can you call me

after you’ve read it ?

I’ll take leave now, sir.

Sir, Can I get the

writer's contact?

Get that from Kavi..

And also collect your paycheck.

Okay sir..

Tea..

Will you hand me

such a hot tea glass?

huh..

Ask the tea master..

Should I cool it down

by blowing on it?

Sir..

It's your ride sir..

Come, sir, let’s go in the auto.

I booked a car..

Sir, The car is in

the workshop today.

Kindly adjust for today

and come in the auto, sir.

I didn’t book a car

to travel in an auto.

I’ll cancel the ride myself

and book another one.

Sir..

You’re the first

customer for the day Sir!

Auto won't suit me..

Trust me, Chandru,

please get in Sir...

I’ll ensure the ride is

as smooth as a breeze !

You can give me whatever

fare that you feel is fair.

Do you want to

check this address?

Sir, I have the

location, that’s enough!

So, sir, you don't like auto?

Auto, an unnecessary invention

between a car and an Eicher.

Why, sir? Shouldn't

we survive too?

Survive?

You should work to survive.

You won’t accept the ride

if the destination is far away

You people won’t

switch ON the fare meter.

Else you would

ask for a higher fare.

If possible, should get you

a return ride to please you.

For your conditions, only

millionaires can take a ride.

But, why would

they get in an auto ??

Sir..

Why sir ??

But for all that drama

you people created...

In the form of an app.

You people got

nailed by it, didn’t you?

Now, you people

are playing a bit fair.

True sir..

These days, we don’t get

as many rides as we used to

I predicted this 10 years ago.

If I had written

this for cinema,

I’d be celebrated

like Nostradamus.

They would have glorified me...

Who reads Magazines,

their story series these days?

Sir..

Are you a story series writer ?

Super sir..

Magazine "Aanandha Idhazh's

Auto Raja" story series..

Are you it's author ??

Super sir !!

Oh..

So, You do read books..

Surprising..

Even, Chandru from

that story, resembles you!

What sir ??

All auto drivers are ..

junkies,

pimps,

and then criminals..

That’s how you’ve

written their characters.

Is it otherway ??

Why ?

Haven't you done any such

thing in your experience ?

No, Sir !

But, one thing, sir...

You were right about that.

For, One In his arrogance,

God will grant him his due, sir.

Even if that God doesn’t

give back the dues,

This god will.

What's the trouble?

I couldn't identify it.

It could be some minor fault.

Let me check.

Which area is this?

Why have you come this way?

Hello

Hello

Sir..

Sir, You have booked a cab,

I'm the driver speaking..

Cab driver ??

I'm waiting at the

location for a long time...

Hello..

Sir...

Who are you ?

This... area...

Hey, Tell me, where

are you leaving ?

"The love that I received"

"without asking for…"

"My darling !"

"In the blink of an eye, that"

"flood of love disappeared..."

"My darling."

"Oh Dear! An"

"endless wait for you…"

"My darling!"

"Where was your fragrance"

"that engulfed me yesterday?"

"My only wealth!"

"Will your deeds allow"

"you to live peacefully?"

"The world that you created"

"will teach you the right lesson!"

"Having done an unjust hunt…"

"You will bleed to"

"death, as you run!"

Come here dear !

Give him this poison !!

What harm did we cause you?

Why did you kill my mother ?

Mother..

Leave him..

I will give him

the poison myself.

Hey.. bring him down!!

Okay brother !

If he doesn't swallow

the poison, slit his throat.

Hey ... Drink it now !!

You fools !

I am just not the destroyer,

I am the creator too.

Not just Selvi,

For any of you to survive,

I need to stay alive.

Mother..

Don't believe him..

He'll spin any kind of

story to ensure his survival.

I am the one who

created all of you.

After killing me,

how will you survive?

You fools.

Hey..

If you want Selvi back,

I must stay alive.

Hey, don’t give up…

You shouldn’t die.

If Selvi doesn't come

back alive, I'll slaughter you!

Please, raise your hand.

Vasan, our hospital has

many trained attendants.

Among them, one

volunteered to take care of you.

One of the best attendants.

Since a very young age...

You made me dream big.

You've instilled in me the

desire to become a doctor.

There is a society

that is equal...

You made me believe that.

You encouraged me to dream big.

And I believed that...

You would make me...

A big success story.

When I grew up and

aspired to become a doctor...

You showed me..

The true colors of the world.

A society without equality,

full of deceit and disguises.

Just like you.

I should have been

a trainee doctor.

But today..

I'm just an Attender here.

Everyone here calls

me “Attenderâ€

This is...

The highest position

that, I can attain...

You've made them

all believe that.

Do you know what this

situation sounds like?

From your body...

After extracting

all the poison...

After purifying your blood...

This Attender Raji...

Is injecting 30 ml of poison

back into your body again.

Hey Raji, the duty Doctor

wants you to sign

in the register.

Sir, please don't

try to talk.

Your vocal cords are damaged

It will take some time

to open up and recover.

Do you want to write

and convey something?

Wait, let me get

a paper and pad.

Raji, Sir wants a paper

and pad, get him that.

He escaped.

There he is! Don't

let him escape!

Hey, you go that way!

And you, go this way!

You come with me..

Why are you talking like

Washington Vetrivel sir?

The characters I've

created are overtaking me.

Hey..

Stay quiet.

Who the hell are you?

There are people chasing me.

Please, save me.

Then, you should buy

a glass of tea from me.

My god!

Alright, make one.

Do you want it with

or without sugar?

I don't want sugar.

Hey man, did anyone

come this way?

No one came this way.

Would you like some tea?

Hey..

That's sugarless tea.

That’s for him.

Beat the shit out of him!

Hit him hard!

Lift him up!

Give me that!

I'll slice you!

Don't mess with us!

Stay away from me!

Hey..

Hey, give me the knife!

Don't come near me!

Hey...

Come if you dare!

There are only

two options for you,

One You may die.

Else..

Just show me that

black sheep in my team.

What's you decision?

See..

He's laughing..

Tell me..

Planned to kill me?

I need to get home safely.

Oh, you need to get home safely?

Let's see..

First..

Tell me, who among my

boys is the black sheep?

Yes...

Will tell you...

Lift him up.

Spit it out.

I've given a clue.

Phew..

What is that ?

Didn't it strike anyone's mind?

Yeah, the loser is a scientist,

giving us clues...

Spit it out now!

Tell me your name..

Maari...

You..

Kaali...

And you..

Kabaali...

Ranga...

Chandrashekar...

Hey..

Are you giving them

your daughter in marriage?

Asking for details?

Boss,

Didn't you get it?

Maari, Kaali, Kabali, and

Ranga are all

typical goon names.

Can't be a cop.

Only Chandrashekar

stands out as the odd one.

Is that so?

Boss...

Boss, I swear, I

don't know anything...

Trust me, Boss!

Please, let me go.

Boss.. please..

I didn't do anything, boss!

Boss, give me

the gun; I'll do it.

Ranga, believe me, I'm innocent.

Ranga.. please...

Hey.. give it to me.

Maari...

Maari...

At least you tell the

boss that I'm innocent.

What's happening here ?

Hey...

Leave him...

Boss,

Please, let me

handle this matter.

You, deal with that traitor.

Look at his audacity!

To him, our names are

enough to label us goons.

And to him, we’ll

always be goons.

I'll deal with him, boss!

What’s this?

Tell him to stop.

He had wished for it.

Just, die once.

But I've already

told you who he is.

Does anyone else have a gun?

I have one.

Let me kill this

traitor first, boss.

Kabaali..

Please, don't kill me!

Something's not

right here, boss.

Hey.. give me..

I'm innocent, boss.

Boss, this writer

is up to something.

Boss, Please trust me...

I'm your chandrashekar...

How will I betray you boss?

Boss.. Please...

Dhanapal, You got

what you asked for..

Please let me go !

Mr.Writer...

Where are you running ?

The more you run,

the more you bleed.

Are you still not understanding?

You are trapped in

the world you created.

A world with no equality, no

justice and only discontent.

You're caught in this Vortex.

Status and rights, do you

think it’s based on birth?

This common

mentality isn’t your fault.

I blame those who planted

these thoughts for centuries.

We haven’t trapped you,

We are demanding our rights!

You have only two options,

You may die with your creations,

in the world that

you have created.

Or else, deliver justice

to the concerned.

I have to go home.

Let me change...

I will change everything.

Wow, you’ve changed so quickly.

Come on, get in the vehicle.

Until you cease to

exist, we will persist.

Keep that in mind

and write cautiously.

Hey Kavi, did you hear

what Vasan is saying?

He wants to rewrite

a published story.

How, sir? After everyone

has already read the story?

Sir...

Please understand my situation.

They're targeting me.

Target? What happened?

Did you steal someone's story?

Now, that's the trend.

Sir...

Nothing like that, sir.

Then?

Step out for a while.

Okay sir.

Call me when you're done.

Yes!

Yeah, Now tell me.

Sir,

They're attacking me.

Attack?

What are you talking about?

Sir..

The characters from my

story are attacking me, sir.

In a story series...

Could you enlighten me a bit?

Sir now..

Sir, we are living

in a world now...

And for my characters,

I have created a

world for them, right?

In the world I have

written and created,

They feel, there is

no justice for them

one by one, the

characters come out,

Trap me into their world

and torture me, sir.

They seek justice, Sir.

A world, inside another

world, inside that, you.

What is this, man?

It feels like a

Christopher Nolan film.

You’re telling me the

same story I told you,

Just with some improvisations.

It's not a story, sir.

It's happening to me, sir.

If I'm not giving them

the justice they ask for...

I'm stuck in this vortex, sir.

I can't escape it.

Vasan,

It's been fifty years,

since I sat in

that editor's seat.

I have seen many writers.

But you are unnecessarily

complicating

things for yourself."

Suppose,

You’re addicted to some

drugs, better quit that!

Sir..

Sir, you’ve seen me grow!

Sir..

It's not my illusion, sir.

It's happening to me.

Vasan....

It doesn't matter whether

it's an illusion

or your reality.

You are the one creating

those characters, right?

If those characters

are disturbing you,

End the story.

Let's see what comes later.

Okay sir.

" From the tip of my pen,

arose these creations "

Let this be the last one.

" Would I tolerate them

if they try to kill me? "

Boss, Palanivel is with us now.

" Having chased

and tortured me "

" Would I allow them to

survive and change their fate? "

Don't do this, Dhanapal,

it's not good for you!

The repercussions will

be very bad. Stop this now.

Repercussions?

Don't worry, you won't

be alive to witness them.

The things people say

before they die are fascinating.

You are my final hit.

" Being their destroyer,

I shall dictate their end "

" Any creation with an

enmity against its creator "

" Will disappear like a

minuscule particle in the wind "

" It’s time to weed

out those crops "

" Without mercy, to

their burial ground "

Dad, send me to

school atleast today...

Would love to meet my

friends, study with them

Forget that school my boy.

It was difficult even when

your mother and I were Earning.

I will admit you to the

government school nearby.

Study there for some time.

Hold on as long as you can.

Let it run like

that for a while.

Then, you start assisting me…

you need to learn

the job, right?

Dad, I don't want

to be a carpenter.

I want to become a

pilot and fly a plane.

For that, you should’ve

been born in a Pilot’s family.

Here, a carpenter's son

can only become a carpenter.

That's all we can do.

Ramesh !!!

" Not knowing the potential,

the desire to fly high "

" Will disappear like

a drop in an ocean "

" Now that the last date

arrives, a created entity "

" Will be destroyed

with the creator's pen "

Dad, What are you searching ?

I kept the insecticide here,

not sure where it is now.

" Death desires

a bloody pattern "

Raji, did you see it anywhere?

No, dad.

" Death desires

a bloody pattern "

" Can someone conquer fate? "

You've come earlier

this time, it seems.

Hey, Who is that ??

It's the gas delivery

guy... what happened ?

Gas delivery agent?

Do you remember ?

A story I wrote, "Cooking gas...

As the delivery agent comes

in and places the cylinder...

And the whole

house will explode.

What? The house will explode?

Ugh!

Get his name first!

What are you

looking at? Ask him!

Mam, please open the door.

What is your name ?

What Madam !

I've been the one

delivering recently.

Why the sudden verification now?

Why do you counter

with such dialogues?

Please, tell me your name.

It's stephen mam.

It's stephen.

Wait a minute, I'll be back.

Ew!

Wait, he's checking

your name on the list.

Ask him if he needs any ID card.

Seriously?

Wait..

Not in the list.

Let him in.

You are not in the list.

You can come in.

Wait, let me go get the cash.

Okay mam.

What, sir?

You say I have all the power

You're only living

in fear and anxiety.

Instead of trying to control

others, try living together.

Sir...

You came face

to face with death.

But you didn't die right ??

Do you know why? You

still have a lot to do, sir.

Who are you ??

Check if the amount is correct.

Then, what’s Sir’s sermon?

That’s over my head Ma’am.

I'm used to this kind of talk.

Sir, I'll come later.

Take care of yourself.

If a writer forsakes his

responsibility

in his creation...

Could be a King of the

craft… but, he must face death

This will be the last sleep,

end of Vasan’s journey.

Hey..

Can you hear that voice ?

What voice ?

This sleep is Vasan's

final rest, to sleep forever.

Great...Not again!

Just sleep off.

Didn't you hear it? I did.

Stop blabbering.

I'll go to my mother's

house and never come back.

If I sleep, that's

definitely going to happen.

But..

Turn off the light and go

to sleep, always blabbering.

Vasan, who depicted death as an

ordinary occurrence

in his writings

Has come to the

end of his own life.

In this sleep,

Vasan's story ends here.

I have to stop him.

This is unfair.

What's your problem ?

I will not sleep.

Where are you leaving

now? Wearing a shirt ?

I am going to

the editor's office.

Which editor's office

is open at midnight?

Sleep, You can go by morning.

I will not sleep.

I will die, if i sleep.

Oh god ! Unbelievable!

Yeah.. Don't sleep at all.

Stay awake !!

I am tired, Let me sleep.

" The universe, which

bestowed the power to create, "

" Now witnesses its

own creation strike "

" This is the cosmic drama. "

" Our mortal forms,

fading into the earth, "

" Yet the words

breathe life into us, "

" bound in the cosmic drama "

" A vision that sees

yet is blind to the truth, "

" A song that echoes,

though no ears hear its tune, "

" It builds its own

prison, a trap of fate— "

" This cosmic drama

becomes a cage. "

" The fiery thread that

strikes with fierce intent"

" The web of war,

silently spun, "

" The nagging illusions

that cling to us all— "

" I, too, am drowning

in their grasp. "

" The fiery thread that

strikes with fierce intent"

" The web of war,

silently spun, "

" The nagging illusions

that cling to us all— "

" I, too, am drowning

in their grasp. "

What’s the big problem of yours?

If you keep acting like this,

I might have to call

my family to sort it out.

That's all I can say.

It’s not that I don’t

want to tell you,

But even if I do,

you won’t believe me.

I will believe you.

Tell me... Don't hesitate.

This is the reason

for not sharing it.

I can sense that

disbelief in your look.

That’s how my look is.

I don’t know what’s happening.

Even I’m sitting here, confused.

Should I end all

the characters' lives,

like the editor suggested?

Or should I give them

the justice they asked for?

Please don’t disturb

me until this is over.

I don’t understand.

Let's consider this as real...

Why stress so much?

And plan on destroying them?

Why not give them

what they ask for?

As a creator, how can I

succumb to my characters?

Let’s take God,

Does he change the

fate as desired by people?

What will I tell my

regular readers?

Should I suddenly

change the story?

If it's just a story, do

whatever you want.

But you're saying

this is all real.

Anyway, you never

listen to my opinions.

What will change now?

Sir, in my current

state of mind,

If I have to listen to anyone,

it will only be you.

You've been a great help

to me on many occasions.

It feels like I’ve

risen from death.

It's not that I

worry about death.

Death is certain; it

will come someday.

But how do I live while

I'm alive? What will I write?

I don't know sir !

My childhood wasn't great,

and my parents didn't live long.

I studied what I could.

And did whatever

job I could find.

My married life

wasn't fulfilling either.

This isn't just my story; it's

what everyone here faces.

I transformed that

pain into words.

The audience understood my pain.

They resonated with that truth.

They related to it.

Only a rare few succeed here.

Should I create false

rhetoric and give people hope?

Vasan, Suppose...

You had children...

Will you tell them

that only a rare few will

ever win here and

that they can't succeed?

Will you tell them

that reality is just about

getting stuck, deteriorating,

and eventually dying?

But...

"If you knew you had the

power to change this society?

Wouldn’t you wish

for their success?

What are you looking for?

This?

It’s my fault.

I shouldn’t have

spoken like that.

If you were to die...

Even we would be

left just breathing.

Did you think about us?

Is this the example you

want to set for your sister?

No, Mom.

My dream of becoming a doctor...

I couldn’t let go of that dream.

It’s for your own good...

We told you what

we thought was right.

Not to push you

toward such a decision.

You study...

Keep taking the exam until

you achieve your dream.

I will study hard and

do whatever it takes,

I will secure the seat for sure.

I’d be happiest if you

achieved your dreams.

But if things don’t

go as you wish...

Will you take poison

in your hands?

Or will you look

for the next step?

You need to decide.

We’re not as intelligent,

or ambitious as you.

If you wanted to do

some good for someone...

Be with them,

live to the fullest

to make something happen.

Not through death.

Leave it,

Let her begin studying...

I'm sorry mom.

Dad..

I'm sorry.

Society is a byproduct of a

few creators' combined thought.

Which is God?

Which is devil?

Who’s clever? Who’s a fool?

Who’s above, and who’s below?

Who’s to be praised,

and who’s to be spat on?

All of this is decided

by a selective few.

The people here just follow

that and dance to their whims.

Now, do you

realise your

potential and where

you are placed?

What Kaali?

Not just Kaali...

Kaali IPS.

You killed a loyal dog,

mistaking it for a mole.

Look here folks...

The fox has been

with us all along.

Now it's pointing a gun at me.

Take him on.

Don’t cause trouble.

The police have surrounded us.

If I intended to kill you, I

wouldn’t waste time talking.

The plan was to execute a

ruthless encounter operation.

I don’t wish to kill you.

The time I have spent in

my police uniform is less.

I’ve been by your

side much longer.

You have treated me well.

But I can’t let you go.

You have two

options ahead of you.

OneTo die in this encounter,

The other is to surrender.

As long as I hold it in my

hands, it’s just a sculpture

But when it

enters the

sanctum of a

temple, that’s God.

It’s considered

to be a living entity

Even Constitution states that!

Vasan,

It’s not merely about

creating and leaving it to time.

The Creator has

immense responsibility.

Everything was ruined

by impulse and anger.

The boys are left

without their mothers

she didn’t get bail?

Hmm...

The lawyer says

it’s a tough case.

I couldn’t lie either.

It’s her own fault.

She must repent for her sins.

Forget it. I didn’t

come to talk about that.

Why should the

boys suffer for this ?

Send your boy to school.

I’ll cover his expenses.

Will you accept this?

What have you done, Vasan?

The earlier episodes

don’t connect to the climax!

I’ve always

respected your writing.

You agreed to my

suggestions, and now...

Look,

Take your own time.

Change the climax and come back.

No, sir.

These are the fair and

just endings for the stories.

Oh..

Who are the audience

for this ending?

There are a few

who are reading it...

Now, will they?

Let them decide that Sir.

We need not impose their

liking with our authority.

Let the readers

speak their mind.

Vasan, your political

rhetoric is growing stronger.

You should try this

in cinema; it sells.

Have you decided

to end this career?

Sir, now...

More than my

personal inhibitions,

Prejudices, or favoritism,

I believe an action reaching

it's rightful end matters most.

oh..

Vasan,

Then...

Even I might take an action

to reach its rightful end.

Let’s see, Thank you Sir!

Authority is neither

suppression nor oppression.

It’s about addressing

needs at the right time.

When you hold the power

to create a world of equality,

You’ve crafted a

world of discord.

And still,

proclaim yourself the

god of your creations.

Yes, it's just a story.

I’m not denying it.

But write something

that brings light to others.

Let that light spark

a change in reality.

Write.

Dad!!

What is it ?

You won't believe this...

My new science teacher...

What's with her ?

She’s just a replica

of my mother.

Are you still grieving

for your mother, son?

I understand.

But you still have

your father with you.

Nothing like that, Dad.

Her face reminds

me of my mother’s.

And she’s not married yet.

So, is this what

you go to school for?

You’re speaking

beyond your years.

I’m just asking you

to come and see her.

Alright, we’ll do that

tomorrow after your school.

You don’t have to

wait until tomorrow,

I’ve brought her here to

show, mother’s picture...

She’s outside, come and see.

So now you're giving me choices?

Okay..

I’ll give you two choices.

One, kill me and get

killed in 5 minutes.

My boys will guarantee that.

Or wait for five more minutes.

I've given my word.

I have to take care of him.

I’ll come after

this 50th mission.

I guarantee this.

Dad !

Dad !

What is it, dear ?

Oh! all those wishes

have come true,

The justice they demanded,

Delivered on the screen.

The breeze is even

more cooler now,

The words that filled my papers

Have transformed

into pleasant songs…

Strings of fire, now in water.

A web, now made of flowers.

With illusion disappearing,

There I am, in silence.
