Original subtitles

The reason why we are here today is...

...this man, Kabali

He influenced the society to oppose the Govt

He was also accused of instigating a ruthless massacre...

...in a palm oil estate during a Hindu temple festival

For this offense...

...he was sentenced to 25 years of imprisonment

And he is being released this Wednesday

Kabali's family was killed in the same massacre

By the leader of the gang 43, Tony Lee

'Tony Lee has invested...'

'...in many industries'

'Such as hotels'

'Import and export'

'Prostitution'

'Criminal activities'

'And drug trafficking'

'Veerasekaran is a pillar of strength to Tony Lee'

'Many places are under his control including Petaling street'

'With these 2 men working for him...'

'...Veerasekaran's criminal activities in Malaysia spread like the plague'

'One of them is Loga'

'He is the one who controls drug trafficking for gang 43'

'Loga fixes the market price for drugs in Malaysia'

'Another is Cheeni'

'He is involved in gangsterism'

'Loan shark activities, leasing of parking space illegally'

'Recruiting school students to join gang 43'

'A few years ago the activities of these gangs...'

'...spread like wild fire beyond the control of the Govt'

'To have an upper hand, the Govt and Police planned a special Operation'

'In a clash between the Police and the gangsters, Veerasekaran escaped'

'And Tony Lee died in a car crash'

This is the death certificate given by the Police endorsing Tony Lee's death

We don't have to talk about gang 43...understand?

Can we concentrate on more important issues now?

Do you really think Kabali will be quiet when he gets out of prison?

No...no...no Though he is in prison...

...he uses his influence to help Indian people

Specially the youngsters who drop out of schools

And join gangsterism

He does all these things with the help of his friend Amir

And an organization called Free Life Foundation

'His thoughts and vision have changed'

Furthermore the problem is for him

They have tried to kill him 13 times inside the prison

Let's release him

Why waste time talking about an old man?

Might as well release him

The Govt will take other measures

If needed

Hello...?

(song from 'Adutha Varisu')

Hello?

Hey! Ask him to stop

Hello?

Yes, huh?

Kabali is coming out tomorrow?

Confirmed?

Whaaat! Kabali, huh?

Okay, bro

Fantastic!

Is he coming out tomorrow?

Heavyweight, bro

Yes, bro?

He is out tomorrow

Let us close his chapter a.s.a.p

We can show him the power of 43!

Why, bro?

Okay, bro

Fine!

Bro...?

Just 2 months

I'll be out

I'll stick out my head for you

Definitely I'll be there for you

Just a matter of time

'Quiet!'

Here

Should have been holed up here till your last breath

You are really fortunate to get out so soon

Recently 40 thugs were killed in an encounter

More than 30 were Tamilians

Any Tamilian is being branded a villain now

Though I am a police officer...

...sometimes they look at me suspiciously too

This is an earnest request from me

Don't go back to your old ways again

I'm saying this only for your own good

(cool chuckle)

Cheers...!

You're being targeted by the 43 gan-

Ssshhhh!

'Anna...?'

Amir

Good to have you back

Allah's will!

(happy laughter)

Can I hug you just once?

By all means hug me

You are back, anna This is enough for me

Thank God

Ravi, your hair has turned grey!

- How are you? - You guys rock!

All your blessings, anna We are good, thanks to you

They are all our boys Totally trustworthy

Good...good

He teaches in our school

- Good afternoon, sir - He wanted to meet you

You feel good, anna?

What do you think?

Awesome, anna

- My car, right? - Yes, anna

Just like you, perfect condition Your favorite lovebird

Soooper!

'Everybody is waiting to see you Our area is in a festive mood'

'Even representatives from all the gangs'

Anna, look over there

Where Murugan's saloon used to be

'Chettiar gardens'

Look over here

This was our Tamilnesan sir's area

KL has changed so much, right?

Anna, look there

Peddling drugs in broad daylight

Even kids are into this

'Doomsday is nearing They belong to 43 gang'

Such is life now!

'Students in our Free Life school are junkies from gangs we have rehabilitated'

'Anna, look at that'

If interest for a loan is not repaid in time...

...that red paint is a warning

If he defaults payment even then you bet his chapter will be closed

Courtesy 43

Tony Lee Veerasekaran

Besides them ring leader Cheeni

You can find him in the pet shop now

Where is that pet shop?

'That's his hangout'

'The pet shop is a mask'

'All illegal activities inside including smuggling'

- Let him go - Take your hands off

Check what's happening...go

Imagine imprisoning birds that were flying free

No punishment is good enough

Know how tough it is to be caged?

A door with small bars

If opened, vast blue skies

They will die if freed, anna Other birds will peck them to death

A bird's nature is to fly Let it go, free it

Let the bird decide whether to fly or fall dead

Your compassion is worse than its death!

'All is 1 package'

'Orangutan special price, okay?'

Don't worry

'I will take care'

Ah! Look!

Lamb for the slaughter is here

- Would you like something to drink? - Can we get hot tea?

With just 1 teaspoon sugar

Don't want, anna?

We changed our mind, no need

Looks like you came straight to my den?

What can I do for you?

(lamb bleating)

Then you bloody well die!

(smug laughter)

A typical thug in Tamil films, with wart, twirling his moustache, 'lungi' clad

As soon as villain Nambiyar calls out, 'Hey! Kabali!'

...that thug will grovel and say 'At your service, master'

You thought I was 'that' Kabali!

I am KABALI, I say

Inform your boss, Kabali has returned ditto as he left 25 years ago

"Like fire blazing fiercely"

Whichever nook or corner Tony Lee and Veerasekaran are...

...they have to bow before me!

"Gather"

Lamb, huh?

"Garner"

"Comrade!"

"Is world for a handful or masses who toil?"

"Reply will be from the lips of Kabali!"

"Revolt and raise hell Oppressor's rule he'll quell"

"Is the world for one Or those who sweat in the sun?"

"Answer will be from the heart of Kabali!"

"With a mutiny he designs the overlord's death he signs"

"Like a towering inferno you blazed aglow"

"Even if eyes close dreams don't doze"

"As a flower appeasing"

"As a flute mesmerizing"

"Show the world who you are Don't be a lamb for the slaughter"

"Like a tree dwelling in a seed we carry stories to repeat"

"Tomorrow's dawn is ours to revel Revolt, break rules to rebel"

"The sky is yours to hold sway"

"A bird won't forget to fly half way"

"Up his sleeve, many a scheme Here comes Kabali, greet him"

"Like a spinning top nonstop beat the drum, sing a song"

"So many years in prison He's back now in action"

"In fear his foes shiver"

"Our blood boils to sever"

"Kabali"

"Super star's the name This is his game"

"Kabali the visionary!"

"King of our time In the concrete jungle"

"Watching over my pride"

"How does it matter to you which place I belong to?"

"He lent a hand as a Tamilian to his clan in this land"

"I am stalking my prey Won't let them get away"

"With the things that they do Bad moves that they make"

"We let others live We gladly gave in"

"Now I'll live life to the fullest Zip your lips and focus"

"Dressed to kill"

"Call it Kabali swag Come and get some"

"Like the K-town clan"

"It ain't about the size of the dog in the fight"

"But the spirit of the fight in the dog that's right"

"Root and flower Don't differ"

"Though grey of the clouds somber pure drops of rain shower"

"Will waves be kept at bay by a repressive force anyway?"

"Water current forever powerful"

"To swim past you is impossible"

"Can a snowflake small snuff a volcano tall?"

"The elite order's furor won't be heard here anymore"

"Tamil race and its identity will now become reality"

"Rich men's cry of power won't be heard in future"

"Tamil clan's address will now spell success"

"Within a seed's womb like a flower we bloom"

"History from the tomb"

"Tomorrow's dawn is ours to revel Surge, break rules to rebel"

"The sky is your ground to play"

"A bird won't forget to fly half way"

Dance with me

How dare you!

Don't!

Move out of the way

It was most unexpected

He had the gall to attack our Cheeni bro!

We must show him our power

I caught an Eel

Trying your tricks with me?

It isn't easy, you know

Only if the bait fish is alive it is do-able

It will be very protective towards its many young ones

Will try to survive till the very last second

Deli-cious!

To feast on such a tasty fish we should know its innate nature

Only then it can be caught And its flavor appreciated

Kabali is just like this fish

He is ready to be caught

But not right now

Tony Lee is out of the country

Just 1 sure shot

It should be a point of no return for him

Not miss the bull's eye

Let us wait

Enjoy the fish gravy

- What is this? - Mutton

- Enjoy - Serve some more

Wow!

Fathima Sooooper!

Finger-licking good!

Just like my wife's cooking

'Thanks a lot, anna'

Really? You think it's so-

Tell me the truth, anna I won't get angry

My wife's culinary skill is truly awesome, right?

Listen, my dear

If I praise your cooking your husband doesn't believe me

Look into it

How will taste buds talk when he has no tongue!

I don't have a tongue?! Isn't this proof enough?

(dismissive laughter)

I'm enjoying a yummy dinner after many years, let me eat in peace

Just kidding, anna

- Eat - Don't want, ma

'Enjoy yourself, anna'

What do you want?

Don't cry

'Will you ignore your poor pregnant wife?'

'- What do you want? - I want to hug you tight and sleep'

'Come, why are you so late?'

'Everybody is waiting for you'

'Come inside'

'Good morning, sir'

'Come'

'I have discussed everything No problem at all'

'You can go in'

'My legs are all swollen'

'I can't even walk'

'Go...get me some water'

'Enough...enough'

'Let us eat'

'Everybody is waiting, right?'

'What are you doing?'

'Come soon'

'Where did you disappear? We were starving'

'Come and eat with us'

'Come and eat, anna'

(nostalgic sigh)

Anna...?

Don't get stuck in the past now

We are all here for you

You can go now, Amir

Please go home, I want to be alone for a while

Okay

'Your wife has also been laid to rest here'

There were no family members So the policemen went ahead with-

Hey Banu! Good to see you

What brings you here? Thought of me suddenly?

Think you're in your 20s? I came to see uncle

Uncle, how are you? You forgot me?

I'm Banu, uncle

You educated me in Klang I stood first in the state

Oh! Is that you, Banu dear?

Are you married? Where does your husband work?

All done and dusted!

What to do?

Don't yell at me I was dealing in drugs

I was good at academics I dreamt a lot

Didn't know whom to trust

He said he loved me

He said caste was no barrier

He quoted Mani Ratnam's films

And finally gave me a baby!

During land redistribution, he said he was leaving for Tamil Nadu

I told him not to

That was the last I saw of him I haven't set eyes on him again

What to do?

I have only 1 son

Jeeva, come here

I've wasted my life

He is refusing to study

If I get him a job he beats up everyone

He saw you somewhere

He is so adamant he wants to work for you

I know you will make a man out of him

Take him, uncle

Why are you crying? He is in safe hands

Go home, I'll keep you posted

Anna, you had sent for him

Banu's son Jeeva is here

Anna

Stop the car

Jaya, call that boy

Bro, come here

Get into the car

Hold...hold

Wait

Move

Hahn...Fathima!

Fathima handles everything here

- Welcome, anna - Good...good...good

Move...move

70 Tamil students graduate from our school every year

They are 16 to 20 years old

All are school dropouts

These kids were all in the gang

Please come

Come this way, anna

When our students were with the gang, they used all this

So we have confiscated their stuff

Please come this way

We seized these accessories...

...reflecting the symbols and colors of their gangs

We should be disciplined, right?

I appreciate it

Let's go

This way

All of you, relax

Please come

Get that chair

Please sit

Tiger

Do you know who this is?

- We do - Mr Kabali

He donated this building for our school He helps us to run it too

How about a special 'Free Life' salute for him?

Free Life salute

- What's up? - Hey, wait

Why did you get up?

Won't you sit in one place?

I am sitting quiet, right?

He's like that Quite restless

He is hyperactive normally

- Ask him his name - Why?

Just ask him

What is your name?

Hey! Get up

Tell him your name

Otherwise you know the punishment?

Run around our ground a whole day through

- Tiger...! - Tiger...?

(indulgent chuckle)

Which gang are you from?

43...!

Do you know our anna?

- Heard he heads the 00 gang - Shut up!

What will you do after graduating?

Join the gang!

Would you like to join anna's gang?

My team is the best

Smart Alec he is!

Idiot! Sit down

Meena, why did you smile at him?

I didn't smile at all

I was only watching Tiger

Didn't she flash her teeth?

Of course she did She's lying now

No chance

I swear I didn't smile, akka

- Please believe me - Hey! Meena

They lie to get me into trouble

Sir, you resemble my dad so much

'Dad, you be fair Did I laugh?'

'I was just looking at Tiger-'

She must have had a puff or two

'Pa, tell them I didn't'

Tick them off before you walk away

'That girl's name is Meena'

'She lives in my place Sunway flats'

'In high school, she fell in love with a pusher next door'

'He was older than her'

'Cheated this young girl and made her pregnant'

'He ditched this girl half way through'

'She became a mother at a very young age'

'Claiming she wasn't fit to be a mother, 'Child care' authorities took her baby'

'She lost everything in life'

'It was Marthandam who brought her to our school'

'Too depressed she started taking drugs'

'She will do anything if you promise her drugs'

That girl called me 'dad', right?

Poor thing!

If my child had lived, I would have a daughter or son her age, huh?

We should be on our guard

Don't know what will happen and when!

Situation then and today aren't the same

43 gang is in a different level then

Even without Tony Lee, Veerasekaran is ruling the roost

How can we think of taking Cheeni-

Amazing fish!

Well cooked, chef

Serve him

Eat well, Marthandam

- Seafood doesn't agree with me - You'll be fine, enjoy

We are hounded by them

They wait to pounce on us for commission

They control all the areas

Ampang, Bukit Bintang, Kajang

How can we do any business then?

I'll handle it No worries

Hey! I told them we are gangsters too

But no one is respecting me

Like the comedian Vadivelu, go around proclaiming 'I am also a rowdy'

Looks like I must adopt only that kind of ploy!

If you ask me...

...people with talent can live here

If we want to live we should turn a blind eye

Money...power

If we need to bend a little...

...then why don't we?

But you know what?

Both 43 and our gang are one and the same to the policeman's palm that is greased

They won't spare us because we are in the right

Noticing our good deeds...

...people should respect us Not be petrified

Wherever we go in this country...

...the locals and Chinese aren't our enemies

Only Tamilians!!

If this is our plight how will people trust us?

Our men also get their hands dirty like gang 43

Why?

Aren't people here peddling drugs?

Those are all rumors

I follow the same taboo on hookers or drugs that anna did

When I am here, will I let anyone else in?

In this gang then are you the drug lord?

Mocking me?

Kabali'na, all I want is for you to believe me

That's enough

I'll never disobey you

Eat well, Marthandam

Enjoy your dinner

Why did you stop? Go on...eat

Is it enough? Please sit

Please sit down!

Take care of your health

I'll take care

No problem

You take care of yourself

(tickled pink-laughter)

I always do

I'm glad we met

I'll take leave

Times are changing

Problems stay the same

But unity...?

It's like Marthandam!

When I look at the kids in Free Life, my blood-

What are we doing?

What is our job?

Did we suffer to end up like this?

Look at those kids

I know

My days are numbered

Before they take the lead we have our hands full

We must put an end to the atrocities by Tony Lee and his gang in this country today

Especially the injustice to Tamilians

We must stop the power they are in cahoots with

For all their bias...

...the time has come to put a full stop

It is the beginning of his end

Cheers...!

Someone has snitched about us

- Definitely - So evident when he talks

True, why would Kabali anna talk like that?

- What happened? - Dad!

'Just a piece of land I want'

'Goddess Shakthi a mere piece of land'

Marthandam is peeing in his pants

Now we must break the power of gang 43

You want, huh?

If we tap on drugs, it is as good as hitting Tony Lee

Because your mother deals with drugs?

'Nowadays people mint money only in gambling and prostitution'

- Let's control it - How can you say this?

For a 50 paise cola we buy in the market for 2.5 ringgit

Manufacturing, advertising, paying tax

Different rates by wholesaler and retailer

Extra price for theatre and mall

Price of drugs depends on who the buyer is

1 ringgit can fetch 100 MYR

It changes hands through a big chain link

'Hit the head, entire network will collapse'

In 43, Loga is Tony Lee's drug lord

'Ship breaking yard Port Klang is his drug factory'

'He employs youngsters, mostly Tamilians'

'School dropouts'

'Entire Malaysia is supplied by him'

'He is the supplier to this school too'

'That boy Tiger...'

'...was a pusher in Loga's gang'

'Hey! Keep quiet'

Loga is next on my list

Schedule a meeting with him immediately

No

Let's go directly

Stop the car

Please come

Hey...boys...boys

2 minutes

I need to talk to you

So...Loga How is business?

What do you want? Come to the point

Don't waste my time

Okay...?

Oh! Is that right?

What is your source?

Why?

Do you want some?

Potent to the core

No one can give you my quality

Your gang members...

...won't deal with drugs, right?

You're the good-deeds gang

What?

Are you pulling a fast one?

You can't deal with drugs hereafter Put a full stop to everything

That's it

Impossible

Clear out now

Otherwise you'll be a corpse

Hey boys!

Ask this chap to clear out

He's simply playing the fool

Super...!

Oh! This is the 'point', huh?

This fellow is 'yours truly'

I look really young, right?

I don't have a copy of this

Let me take a snap

Let's get to the point

I was very young then

They needed a hand I went, that's all

I didn't do anything there

Leave this place now

Hey! Escort him to his car

Listen

I'll tell you something

The chap who killed your wife was that scumbag Velu!

Try to find him and finish him off

Otherwise let me know

I'll slice him to pieces

He took away my drug supply

You know how much cash he stole from me?

If your wife had survived he would've sold her for a good rate!

He's very partial to women

He won't let go of even the plain Janes

Then imagine...!

Cheers...!

(revving up the engine)

"Fire in all its fury Try confronting me"

"If you do we will char you"

"To thrash and trample"

"Even in your dreams is it possible?"

"If pushed around will you bow down?"

"To bullying will you buckle?"

"Will you heed any hurdle?"

"Dawn's new identity Our very own Kabali"

'One of the renowned industrialists in Malaysia Loga alias Loganathan...'

'...was killed yesterday in a police encounter'

'This has created a furor-'

They've locked the entire drug supply

'Can't do anything now'

Nowadays there's no business

Very bad condition

'KABALI'

'I don't think we can 'cook' now, la'

Unless we take him out

'Yes, our business has come to a standstill'

'We got no other choice'

Yogi is the right person

No one will suspect her She is adept at this

I'll ask her to come

Let's start with an invocation to God

Our men are shell shocked

'Police force has joined Kabali and is taking us for a ride'

Call her

(offering to Goddess Kali)

'Praise be to the one who dwells and rules the graveyard'

Hello, Yogi

Govt has a plan

We can't do anything now

Totally unexpected move from someone least suspicious is ideal

You are the right choice

Only you can pull it off

He will be with you

He'll get everything ready for you

Hey!

My face is right here!

Okay

Consider it done

Anna, guess what?

Veerasekaran has moved his pawn with offerings to Kali yesterday

'If your wife had survived he would've sold her for a good rate!'

Something has been nagging me

In case Kumudha...

...is alive

...where will she be?

How will she be?

In my head in circles random thoughts run

I must meet Velu

'Got this photo from police records'

'Watch out!'

In Batu caves...

...there's a Tamil restaurant

Called Mama Meru

If you go there you can catch him

"This world is like a river flowing"

"Time is like the boat floating"

"Once colorful memories now cherished souvenirs"

(recollections overlapping)

"When I am caressed by the wind wonder what hue is painted in my mind"

- Where is Velu? - He's inside

- Velu...? - What can I do for you?

He isn't the one we are looking for

Let's go

Are you brainless or what?

They both had too many problems

He asked for a share Veerasekaran tried to kill him

He kidnaps women

And uploads their videos online

And forces them to become hookers

If Velu catches you, that's it

"My heartbeat's melody"

"She was my harmony"

"My beautiful Mrs"

"Wonder now where she is"

Tiger, go

Speak up

I don't know where he is

'But the chap in Ampang will know'

'He is the watchman there'

'He would know Velu's whereabouts'

'Come...park here'

Kabali anna

Please forgive me

I've reformed

Turned over a new leaf

Please let go of me Don't hurt me

Please don't kill me

Where is Velu?

I really have no clue

I came here long ago

They said your wife was dead

'And took her to the mortuary'

'The worker over there rushed out'

'And shouted saying she was still alive'

'Velu and Loga went in'

'Don't know what happened after that'

Amir, stop the car

"In each and every direction"

"I saw your reflection"

"In dreams and memories of mine"

"She floats; in my heart and mind"

"Won't she now appear for real here?"

'Sit down'

'Don't you know where I am?'

'How long should I wait?'

'You are really troubling a pregnant woman way too much'

'Why is your collar so dirty?'

'What will people think if they see it?'

Nab him, don't let him go

Start the car Let's not do anything now

Fast Move!

Hey! Let go Who the hell are you?

Take it off

Kumara...? What is this?

He is Tamilmaran's son

Kumaran

Why did you do this?

Can't you hear me?

Didn't you kill my father?

My family was ruined because of you

- Hey Kumara - I'll kill you for sure

Is he Tamilmaran's son?

Actually...he wanted a job

If you got to know-

You might feel bad if I told you

He's a good fellow but why-

Sorry, anna

But I wasn't aware he would want to kill you

(skeptical chuckle)

Tamilmaran's son has really grown up

He wanted to kill me Right before my eyes-

I wonder what else is in store to wrench my heart?

Whatever problems we dream about we come out of it in a second

If my life had been the same how good it would have been!

'Jeeva has gone to fetch him'

Hey Amir

Are you ready? Shall we go?

Graduation function

One batch is completing the course today

They are leaving

They want to talk to you before they leave

How will I be of any help?

Come and ask them yourself

Please come, pa

Let's go, pa

Okay

Sit over here

Free Life salute

Greetings to everyone here

Mr Kabali will be sharing his life's experience with us

First generation graduate

How did he become like this?

What lessons did life teach him?

And what did he lose?

He will share a slice of his life

You can ask him any question you want

Is that okay, pa?

But before that...er...uh-

An alumnus of our school Sivanesan anna who is working now

- ...will share his experience - Go and talk

He graduated last year

Hello, anna

A warm hello to all of you I am Sivanesan

I am also like you A school dropout

I handled drugs and guns even as a teenager

My life changed after I came here

Fathima akka, Amir anna Kumaran sir took good care of me

I work in a pet shop I am very happy

You study well too And be happy like me

Thank you for everything

See you

Anyone can ask any question to dad

Go ahead

Why are you wearing coolers and a coat all the time?

It's summer now, sir

(amused laughter)

What kind of question is this, sit down!

Sir, which gang do you belong to?

You were a big wig it seems

Hey! Is this very important now?

Let them ask whatever they want I have no problem at all

Are you handy with a gun?

Sir, he has handled a gun

Yes, it was really cool

A chap in gang 0 gave me

Like a hero I went bang bang bang

It was simply smashing, sir

You're just a kiddo

And you fired a gun

Sir, which part of India are you from?

We are originally from Dindivanam

We worked for many years as slaves to landlords here

After that...

...after my father's time, I studied and worked in estates owned by the British

Started slaving for this countr-

(self conscious laughter)

So well educated

Why did you become a gangster?

Hit him Don't spare him

Do you think you are equal to them, the Chinese, Kabali?

Of course

We are not equal to the Chinese

Because my forefathers fell prey to snake bites, wild beasts, land slides

...this land is fertile

We aren't inferior to the Chinese

We work 10 times harder

We are not demanding more wages than them

All we want is equal wages

Even if you pay us 1 ringgit less not one of us will step into your land

We are not slaves We are employees

You are an employer!

You should treat everybody equally

That is your duty

Try to understand it

Otherwise you will face the consequences

I am not threatening you I am warning you!

If you think I'm threatening I will...yes!

(loud cheering)

'That was when Mr Tamilnesan heard about it and sent for me'

'Amir and I went to meet him'

'As soon as he saw me, he shook hands and hugged me'

'He praised me sky high to his friends'

You must come, Kabali

You should come

You too

Everyone should support each other

Was he so fearless, sir?

Fear...huh?!

Tamilnesan sir used to say

My beloved people!

What is Dharma?

Describe justice to me

What we need is Dharma That is justice

We have to ask what is rightfully ours

It is our duty Our birthright

As soon as palm oil proved more profitable than rubber...

...in 1 second A single second

...my people's hard work was squeezed, their blood, sweat and tears extracted

They have been trashed on the streets as waste

What are we asking for our people who are helpless and homeless?

Supposing someone slaps you real hard

You feel like asking why Then why bottle it?

Cry, lament aloud, scream in the middle of the road

Let the neighbors hear

But he will pretend he didn't

Shout till your throat is hoarse

Or die if need be

At one point he has to hear and react to our cries

This protest is not for one man

Not for 1 family

It is a voice of dissent for people belonging to an entire race

Kabali, you achieved the impossible singlehanded in that small estate?

Does your world stop with that?

Come with me to Kuala Lumpur town

There are 10,000 heart broken people

Support the oppressed Lend a hand, revolt

I want Kabali

(thrilled laughter)

Aiyo! Baby

Sorry...sorry

Guess what? I met my leader Tamilnesan sir today

Wowwww!

'I was talking to my wife the whole night about my idol'

Are you very fond of your wife?

Yes

This much!

Love, huh?

You'll be on dot about all this!

(bashful chuckle)

Let me tell you

Can I, anna?

Love marriage

Not the ordinary love you and I go through

Soooooper love!

(sheepish laughter)

Made for each other

Her family did not agree

Indians wherever they go, whatever they take or not...

...they will latch on to caste, religion, status!

That's the problem

But our sister-in-law dumped everything and came with full faith in anna

Then what? I got them married

(appreciative laughter)

Yes, only this VIP presided over our wedding

She left all her belongings and bond behind

How does she look? Is she beautiful?

What is her name?

Her name is Kumudhavalli

Isn't it a beautiful name?

Just like her name she is really beautiful

'When she laughs, her whole face lights up'

Poetry, bro

He has also written a beautiful poem, bro

- Poetry? - About laughter

Get up and recite

'I drown in your laughter'

'When I gasp for breath I will ask for more'

'Save some for me for an encore'

Superb!

This applies to Kumudhavalli also

That's it, I fell for that tinkle of laughter

So beautiful, huh? Then how did she fall for you?

Mocking me, huh?

Power of my dark complexion She fell for me at once

She fell for you!

You expect us to believe this?

Sarcasm?!

This is what everyone asked

I asked her too

'This was what she said'

I looked into your eyes for just 2 minutes

I fell for you, head to toe

I want to be floating in that spell bound feeling

Even after I breathe my last

I want your dark skin tone smeared all over my body

I love you that much!

(relishing laughter)

Today, if I realize my worth so powerfully...

...she is the reason

She will be forever motivating me

Even in the smallest issue

He hit you, right? You should retaliate

Don't get confused

Don't think or plan when you are angry

Breathe!

Go

Even those who are up to no good are so goddamn gutsy

You are doing a good deed Go for it bravely

Understand?

'She is my spine'

I was so depressed after Mr Tamilnesan was killed

She revived me

'What do you mean, sir?'

'Who killed such a big shot?'

Only a Tamilian

Who else?!

Do you know this story of the crab?

It is a fable all of us know in Malaysia

If you stuff crabs into a pot...

...they will try to come out

The crab at the back struggling to come out...

...will pull down the crab in front

It will send that crab back into the pot

Taking turns pulling and pushing...

...no crab will come out it seems

Same story applies to our people

Dog in the manger Won't let us progress

The crab in this fable is Veerasekaran

'Sir was very strict'

'Foremost condition in the gang is not to indulge in flesh trade'

'No drugs or alcohol at all'

'That was when drugs entered the nation'

'The Chinese wanted to get rich in this way'

'Tamilnesan sir opposed it strongly'

Even if we lose everything we have...

...we shouldn't let drugs gain a foothold into our gang

Okay

Gawd! Come here

Sir...sir!

SIR!

Aiyah!

'Some wretched fellow has killed him'

What the-!

The Chinese killed him using the Tamilian whose cause he was fighting!

For mere money!

I decided only then

After Tamilnesan

Now Veera will take over

- They are demolishing our temple - Be calm

- We're going to demolish this temple - You have permission?

You don't create any problem here

Get lost!

To demolish that temple you have to finish me off first

Tamilnesan sir is alive in you!

Don't put me on a pedestal

I'll handle it You leave now

"Herald of the braves Savior of the slaves"

"Bravest of the braves Shielder of the slaves"

"This new-age warrior's power The world is clueless altogether"

Some stranger from nowhere They hail him as the next Tamilnesan

It should be either you or me

"When the good hearted wept When slaves claimed respect"

"You elevated them from neglect"

You visit places You meet people

Your dress speaks for you

(carefree laughter)

Who decides a style?

They should be the only ones to wear a suit

We will change it

"Kabali coming"

"Can you feel the ground shake Like an earthquake"

"Nowhere to run"

"It's too late Real gangstaz"

"From the city to the estate Real gangstaz"

"Separate good from the great"

"Keeping it straight OG"

"Since the 80's untouchable"

"A.K.A Kabali"

"Fighting for what's right Standing up for the weak"

"Looking fly kicking ass In a suit and hockey stick"

"Dum dum dum...enmity explosion"

"Lion in the arena, den is forsaken"

"Guardian angel with you Walking all the way through"

"From pain flutters duly Liberty's flag carefree"

"Your force makes foes flee"

"Land may alter Will your words ever falter?"

"Can mountain peaks tall tower over you at all?"

"Our leader defender Will justice sleep hereafter?"

"Galahad, the gallant knight Our ruler with wisdom and might"

"Lend me your ears I'll slice 'em all off"

"With the same pair of scissors My mama uses to cut cloth"

"Every man gotta right to decide his destiny"

"I'd rather die standing up than living life on my knees"

"Beat the war drums hard Don't let the music stop!"

"Magizhchi muthalvaz Coz this jam rocks!"

"Beat the war drums hard Don't let the music stop!"

"Magizhchi muthalvaz Coz this jam rocks!"

"Lute of rights he played He honed his sword-"

You substituted oil palm for rubber for your gain, satisfaction and power

"His true self to the world he displayed"

"O' valiant one Our hearts he won"

We will revolt What's wrong?

"Breaking barriers aside Holding heads high in pride"

"The rearguard as warlord qualified"

"Courageous warrior Our eternal ruler"

Now you know why

This dressing style

Otherwise in this heat why would I be dressed like this?

This is just cloth, I agree

For being dressed like this

For people hailing me as the next Tamilnesan

For Tony Lee and Veerasekaran using my friend Tamilmaran...

...to destroy my family and me-

'Ang Lee'

'Most respected don'

'A very good man amongst the Chinese'

'He hosted a dinner for all the gangs'

'We attended the feast too'

'Tony Lee and his gang were also present'

I am so happy

All of you gathered here tonight

This meeting is purely to strengthen our friendship

Let us forget all the problems and stay connected always

We should be proud that at this very young age...

...Kabali has been chosen to be the people's leader

He will fulfill Tamilnesan's place in everybody's heart

Kabali...bottoms up!

In all fairness...

...you should have got the laurels he is receiving now

You should have succeeded Tamilnesan

Isn't that usual gang culture?

You'll get angry if I say this

Tony Lee is taking over from Ang Lee

Even I wanted to take Tamilnesan's place

Did they let me?

You are a good man

You give up everything

Drink...enjoy

Hello, partner

Excuse me

You spend all your money on your clothes, huh?

Of course, Mara

If we don't dress well, who will?

You don't listen to me when I tell you to

This is also a symbol of protest

If Gandhi went shirtless and Ambedkar wore a coat...

...they had their own agenda

Politics!

I'll tell you later

Go slow on your drinks

Control yourself

Amir, come

But you really look super smart!

Hello, gentlemen

Escort him

Come inside We can drink there

Our bro is here

Bro, we want to meet Kabali anna

Why?

We can tell only him

First tell me Only then you can meet him

We are coming from Penang estate

We can tell only him about our problem

Kabali anna is here Let's meet him

Add some ice cubes

Do it

Hey! Tamilmaran

Ice cube, huh?

I am Tamilnesan's son

Listen to me

You're picking a bottle

Are you planning to kill him?

Please disperse

Sorry

Will everyone ask only for you, huh?

Don't forget your humble beginnings

You shouldn't have been allowed into my house

Tamilnesan is my father

I should take his place How dare you usurp it?

Listen! Hereafter what I say goes

You must address your problems to me

You humiliated me in front of everyone

- Nothing...nothing - I am disassociating myself from you

Okay

Tamilmaran anna Listen to me, wait

- Listen to me, wait - Move aside

Look who is here

Hey! What a surprise Come, my friend

I was thinking about you

Sorry, anna

He drank too much and spoke out of turn

Don't hold it against him He didn't sleep last night

I thought he may feel better if he meets you

Good thinking Sit down

'Eat, bro'

Be on your guard, friend

Enemies have increased

Eat...please eat

All said and done, I shouldn't have behaved like that

In front of so many people...

...I fought, brought the roof down

I was so upset

Stop obsessing about it

I'm not being myself at all

That's why-

If I visit Maduraiveeran temple things will get ironed out it seems

Plan to go with my family You come along

I'll join you You come too, dear

'Praise be to Goddess Shakthi'

"Bravest warrior on earth you are"

"You're a sparkling ruby of Madurai city"

"Kohinoor, jewel in the crown Aiyanar who guards the town"

"You bless us with your grace"

Stop the music

Hold the sword

Hold it

Kabali...!

You will rule this country, okay?

You'll govern this nation

Till your wife is with you...

...no one can harm you in anyway

You don't need companions or friends

You will lead a good life

(uproar)

Oh my dear!

Watch out!

Hey Kumara!

Come away from here

Hey! Kabali...!

Drop the knife

Bloody tramp of a mongrel!

Look at your dress?

You won't take off your coat even in a temple festival?

Were you born with that coat?

Take off your damn coat

Don't

You and your damn coolers!

- Remove his coat - Don't let them

Don't let them take it off

Kumudhaaaa!

My dearest...!

I'm the next Tamilnesan!

Die now

Police...police

Let’s go

Shameless! You too?

Police arrested our anna

They claimed he had influenced the Tamils against the state

Because he questioned the demolition of the temple and demanded land

Assembled the Tamilians and revolted

Their anger mounted due to all these reasons

They ensured he would be put away forever

They framed a case and sentenced him

- Where are you going? - I'll wait outside

He is well educated

To serve the people he joined the gang

But...

...his situation today

Instead of studying at this age...

...resorting to guns and drugs

At least when you graduate take the right decision

Each bird...

...carries a seed

In every seed there is a forest

We believe that quality is embedded in you too

You share the same belief please

All the best!

Cheers...!

Sir, I'll come with you

Let us shoot them all down

Accept me in your gang

I'll do it for you, sir

No one should be spared

Wear your coat even when you sleep! I'll handle them, huh?

How are you?

- Fine? - I'm okay

I never even dreamt he would think this way

- Please forgive him - It's okay

Of course he's bound to be angry

Even if he was in the wrong, he was your friend

How the hell could you-

Jeeva! Respect

How could you kill him?

Even my mother defends you

But how can I-

Will you keep quiet?

Right before my eyes...

...you killed my father!

I saw him

Collapsing to the ground

Son, I'm sorry

I'll assume this to be an apology to your father

'Why did you behave like this?'

Daaaaad....!

Why did you let go of your Kumudha?

What's wrong with you?

- Amir! - Let go of me

- Get lost! - Hey Jeeva

You call yourself a rowdy

But you let a pregnant woman die

Poor woman! She was pregnant

Why didn't you save her?

Why...?

Get lost...lunatic!

Useless!

Let go of me

Move...go...go

'But you let a pregnant woman die'

'Poor woman! She was pregnant'

I know where Velu is

In Thailand I'll show you

'Velu brainwashed my father'

'He instigated my father to shoot you'

'He is the cause of all problems'

'We shouldn't spare him'

Amir...?

Tell me, anna

I want to adopt Meena

Amazing, anna

We will do it in a grand way

That girl is also an orphan

It will be good for both of you

When I see that girl, I have some kind of unexplained affinity

Maybe...

...that girl was my-

(embarrassed chuckle)

I have weird thoughts swirling in my head!

Amir'na, go past that store

That way

Hi handsome

He'll be up there

Hey! Where are you going?

He is here

You are the reason for my father's death

'I will kill you'

It wasn't my fault

I am now-

I am now reaping for my sins, Kabali

What did you do to my Kumudha?

I didn't...I didn't do anything

I swear I don't know what happened to your wife

Your daughter is alive

What did you say?

Hey Velu...hey...!

Look at that!

Hey Cheeni

This isn't good for you

Hey! Just shut up!

Will you die now?

Appaaaaaa!

Dad...watch out

Let's get out of here, pa

Dad, come with me

Move...move

- Let's go - Jeeva, take care

Come inside

Start the car

Pa...?

Please call me again

Pa...?

(contented laughter)

Only now...

...I know why I am alive

Stop the car

Why, pa?

Why is Meena standing here?

- Who is that girl? - She is from Free Life

(whimpering)

- Why are you here? - Don't come, pa

- Go away - Why are you crying?

Appa

Pa...!

Appa!!

Anna...!

Don't let them go scot free

Come fast

Welcome Tony, welcome

Good to see you!

'Kabali who was released after 25 years from Malacca prison last month...'

- '...was shot by unknown assassins' - Is he back? Really?

'Popular with both Malaysian and Tamils Kabali, the leader of 00 gang...'

'...when he was returning from Thailand, was shot on Persiaran KLCC road'

Marthandam told me to do this

Otherwise he threatened to kill my child

He made me wait enroute when Kabali'pa was going home

- And shot him - Stop crying

Bro, look at him

His parents and sister

I can't...bear it

Bro, somehow take revenge

Only I could do it

5 bullets pierced him

He didn't die that easily

He is certainly the God of death!

I already asked the police

They confirm that he's dead

No body found!

Corpse not found

Even after so many days, no news in the papers

I am really bugged

Only after I cremate his body I will rest in peace!

This reporter has to be killed

'You know how media is!'

Calm down

Calm down

It is us now

43

We run this

Nobody can f*** with us!

Nobody

(phone ringing)

Why is Yogi calling now?

'Welcome back Mr Tony Lee'

(renewed laughter)

I'm really happy

Kabali won't die that easily!

(sarcastic laughter)

Horrrrible fellow, this Kabali!

My daughter is with me today

We will meet soon

"Like fire blazing fiercely"

'Definitely'

Cheers...!

"Try opposing me!"

"Think it is so easy?"

'I am sure Meena would have pointed fingers at me'

'If he returns, I am as good as dead'

'Please, I came trusting you'

Do something to save me

Something

Tell me he's dead

That's enough

Finish him off when he's still hiding

Don't know what I'll do

They won't spare me

I'm done for

I'm done-

Aiyo!

I'll kill him

Pa, why are you looking at me in dazed wonder?

Pa, please tell me

Weren't you aware of all this earlier?

Yes, pa

Not too long ago

Only recently

When I was assigned the contract to k-kill you...

'...that's when Velu'pa told me'

'You are my biological father'

They assigned me to kill my own dad!

I also took the gun

And stalked you

Just to protect you!

'I desperately tried to talk to you'

'But-'

Yogi has admitted Velu in this hospital

Why did you do this?

In the police van dead bodies were brought to the hospital

'We had gone there to claim our gangster Murugan's body'

'At that time I saw Kabali's wife's lifeless body'

'Few minutes after she was taken to the mortuary, a worker yelled out'

Bro, that girl is alive

Let's go check...quick

Take a look

'Kabali's wife was fighting for her life'

Hey! Come...come

'I went and brought a Malay midwife'

'She delivered her baby'

'A beautiful girl baby was born'

'I didn't have anyone in my life'

'Thinking I could adopt her as my own'

'I brought up Kabali's daughter as my own'

'Because of the problems I had with Loga...'

'...I came and settled in Thailand'

'Only after she arrived...'

'...my life changed for the better'

'But that happiness was short lived too'

'Some drug pusher stabbed me'

'From then on my whole world revolved around my daughter'

'She hunted down people responsible for my plight'

'And shot them all dead'

'And then she became a mercenary to keep the money flowing in'

'Until today...'

'...my daughter Yogi even after reuniting with Kabali'

'...takes care of me like her own father'

Where is Kabali's wife?

Right there...

...she passed away

She died

My mother isn't dead, pa

She is alive

Velu'pa told me about Hassima grandma who took care of her delivery

'When I was following you...'

'...I was also looking for Hassima grandma who knew my mother'

'I spoke to the hospital staff who took care of her'

'And finally traced Hassima grandma'

'She told me about the doctor who treated mother'

Then admitted her for a few months in a mental health institution

Valli...we knew nothing about her

Who, what or why?

'She got her memory back gradually due to her head injury'

'All of a sudden, she'll start crying thinking of her husband and child'

'I want to see my baby'

'After she got a little better...'

'...I took her to my house'

'She'll keep working'

'And suddenly freeze'

'Tears will well up and she will cry'

'Hoping her husband will come for her'

'She will wait at the porch'

'Knowing she is expecting the impossible...'

'...I would feel very sorry for her'

Then my cousin was also expecting a baby

She needed a companion

In Chennai

I sent her to Tamil Nadu

At least a change of place...

...would make her feel better

Pa...?

Anna

Are you okay?

Why are you crying, pa?

Appa...?

Dad

Get ready, dear Right now

Let's fetch your mother right away

Amir, did you hear that?

My Kumudha is still waiting for me

But I thought she was dead

God has willed it so

- Hey Jeeva - Anna?

- I'll bring back my wife - Okay, anna

Bring her right now

Tell Tony Lee and Veerasekaran in the loudest voice possible

'You can't do anything to us'

Mallika, time has come for our pain to be relieved

Fortune favors us now

Get ready now Why are you dillydallying?

How will we go now?

By flight of course

Flight?

- Don't you know to fly? - No, I don't

(playful laughter)

What is this, dear?

Kabali's daughter doesn't know to fly!

Hey! Get ready

My daughter and I are leaving for Tamil Nadu to see my wife

Get the passport and tickets ready

Come on

Have a safe journey

Love, huh?

Take care

Have a safe flight

My grandfather left India long ago

In that lineage, I am the only one returning

Just me

Things are going as per plan

Shouldn't miss

We'll get them, okay?

- Bro...? - Is this you?

- Yogi - I'll talk to you later

Did Amir send you?

That's why I'm holding this

So...are you yogi?

Come here

My name is Jai

You know Amir, right?

He spoke to my boss and sent us here

My boss is Anbu'na

He had some work So he couldn't come

Don't worry I'll take care of you

Won't let down surely those who trust in me!

I am a Madrasi, sir

Follow me

Hold it

Hey! Get the vehicle

Come fast

Sir, you must be hungry

- Shall we stop to eat? - No need

Go straight to the hotel

You heard her Drive straight to the hotel

Daya, call the manager

- Welcome to Chennai - Thank you

It's a pleasure to have you here, sir

- Please this way, sir - Give it to me, sir

Do you need anything else?

- What happened, dear? - No worries, pa

Just like that

Dad, I'll get it

(door bell rings)

This is my brother's card My number is at the back

If you need any help, call me any time

If someone knocks on the door, check before you open

Okay...?

Our men are here Don't be scared

100% safe

Adjacent room is ours Shall I take leave?

'Tell me, bro'

'Room 806'

'Father and daughter just the 2 of them'

'Consider it done'

'Okay, bro'

Kabali

Can a single man...

...eliminate the whole empire?

No

Because I'm f***ing here

We will take control of everything

Anyone who disagrees...?

Well, they will disappear

And we will march ahead!

Enjoy your soup

Taste our delicious soup

Kabali is around

Is it possible?

He can't even sneak in

You guys must do that first

Then we can talk about doing business in peace

Sorry, Tony I need to go

Let us leave

He seems a good chap to me

Why jump to conclusions looking at his face?

But why are you so jumpy? Very unusual of you

First don't show them you are scared

We will be easy prey if they know about our fear

What, dad?

How could you think I'll be scared?

Fear...?

Me, Yogi...scared?

Selling salt to the sea, huh?

(scornful laughter)

(door bell ringing)

(door bell, continues to ring)

Wait, dear I'll come

Pa, don't know who it is

Four-

- There are 4 men - Wait...wait

Hello, sir

- Amir sent me - Anbu, come on in

Amir has briefed me

No problem at all

We can take care

- Please sit - Thank you

Is everything okay?

Everything is fine, thank you

Only thing is, your hand got stuck on the bell

- Turned out to be a joke - Sorry, sir

Only because you didn't open

Let's check that address, sir

I listened to your story

If I was piss drunk I would have certainly cried

Shall we have a drink, sir?

It can be served downstairs

- All under our control - I don't drink

Such a big shot and you don't drink?

You are pulling a fast one, sir

In Malaysia 'sarakku' means hooker!

It means alcohol here, my dear

Whiskey Brandy

"My heart's chambers Kaleidoscope of colors"

"Eyes well up with tears Rivulets of happiness"

"Till I set eyes on you again I was in a state forlorn"

"I staggered across nations"

"Alone, all alone in vain"

"Million times, everyday at death's door I stood"

"Lonely, lost in dismay In hope I resurrected"

Everyone told me you were dea-

True, I was dead

Until you came and saw me

"The river of illusion blessed meanders down my chest"

"Though ageing gracefully love still blooms graciously"

"The magical river at my behest weaves down my chest"

"Though ageing years grey love blossoms as a bouquet"

Let's celebrate them

Tonight

Champagne!

'Would we have lived in a house like this for 2 years?'

2 years

2 months and 18 days

All these 25 years...

...I survived thinking only of our time together

"Adrift in the sea like a fish I lost the love I cherished"

"Though you are right here I chose solitude, my dear"

Why do you raise your tone? Speak calmly

"My dear night that delivers dawn! My life only you can adorn"

"Your pain can I share with my tender loving care?"

"The river of illusion blessed meanders down my chest"

"Though ageing grey love blooms as a bouquet"

"You and I are now a strong 'we' Equal to an elephantry"

"Life has come a full circle With its magic and miracle"

Kill Kabali and his family

- Shall we go? - Yes, okay

Leave the room

Go out and wait

(doting laughter)

Hey! Athiya

- Dad - Yogi?

Yogi

Let's go

Get the luggage

Hurry up and start the car

Let's go, sir

Come soon Watch your step

Get in, quick Start the car

Quick...quick

Godspeed, sir

Thanks

Byebye

Hurry up

- Hello, sir - Hi Durai

Meet my wife

We'll go through the waiting lounge, sir

Anna...!

What is happening here?

Where is Amir?

Where is Jeeva?

- Why were their phones unreachable? - Don't get tense

It's a different situation now

Let's not react in haste

What has happened?

Tell me for heaven's sake

Kabali sir, they have attacked our school

Amir anna has been hospitalized, sir

We shouldn't spare them

'Don't act in haste now, sir Listen to m-'

Tiger...! Do your work

- Tell me, Kumaran - Amir'na, where are you?

'At the bakery'

Tony's men are planning to demolish our school

- Whaaaat? - Come here immediately

- Keep an eye here - What happened...hey?

Hey Jeeva

'I am trapped by Tony's men'

What are you saying?

'I've escaped, I'll call you'

Jeeva-

I'm okay

You'll be fine

Everything will be fine

- Kumudha - Sister-in-law?

You'll be fine Don't worry

Jeeva was-

Dad...!!

Jeeva, pa

You...

...come over to my side

All you got to do is fix the place

If you do this...

...whatever you want

Cheeni isn't here either

You take full control of KL

Entire Kuala Lumpur?

Sounds awesome just hearing you say so

We can do it

You're super, Jeeva

Simply super!

Go

Meet Tony, he's in the car

Tony Lee...?

- Tony Lee - Jeeva, right?

Good to see you

Go...!

Go...go...get him

- Amir anna - Hey! Jeeva

'I am trapped by Tony's men I've escaped, I'll call you'

I'll call you back

- Tell me, ma - Where are you?

Maaa!

Mother?

Ma...?

Did you hit me?

No, I didn't, bro

Who is it? Tell me

'I will kill you'

'Slice you into two'

'Butcher you'

Appa...!

Your father should have become a big shot you know

Even before Kabali's entry, your father and I were thick friends

We were the right hand of your grandfather Tamilnesan

When we assumed your father would succeed...

...with effortless ease, Kabali pushed your father down and usurped his place

Your father Tamilmaran has struggled

He has worked hard

When a gang leader dies, his son is the natural heir

This is gang culture And this is what your father asked

Why did he kill your father?

He was responsible for his wife's death?

But Kabali's wife now-

His daughter-

But you...your father?

What is your situation?

Today you are with him

What a wonderful way to repay your father!

Traitor

It's about time

To put everything to an end

And you can make that happen

If you want to be Tamilnesan...

...do what I say

Tonight is Ang Lee's 100th birthday

Everyone will assemble

You've also been invited

If we go, we can find them under one roof

We can easily close their chapter

Can't get a chance like this later

Shut up! His men are everywhere

Not now, postpone this for a few days

What's wrong with you?

Jeeva, Amir anna

Next...?

They won't stop

This is our only chance

If we miss this-

- Yogi...? - Yes, pa

Ask your mother to get ready

We are attending this party

Kabali is coming tonight

Be ready

This is the right time

We have taken the decision

Everyone can leave

We are all set, come

We'll go?

- Congratulations - Thanks

Thank you

Thank you...thank you

Thank you...thank you

Very glad

I extend a warm welcome to this gathering

Ang Lee is a mentor to me and my family

Today is his 100th birthday

He has led a healthy life so far

We feel proud and happy to celebrate his 100th birthday

Let's all take our glasses

Cheers to Ang Lee's 100th birthday

Bottom's up

Lend me a hand

"Kabali coming"

"Can you feel the ground shake Like an earthquake"

"Nowhere to run"

"It's too late Real gangstaz"

"From the city to the estate Real gangstaz"

"Separate good from the great"

"Keeping it straight OG"

"Since the 80's untouchable"

"A.K.A Kabali"

"Fighting for what's right Standing up for the weak"

"Looking fly kicking ass In a suit and hockey stick"

Happy birthday, master

Please sit down

This is my wife My daughter

- You're welcome - Happy birthday!

Wow! Shou-Lao God of longevity

Humble gift

Thank you

I will be there, thank you

Let's take a selfie

Say 'Cheese'

Tony Lee

Veerasekaran

How are you doing?

Ages since we met, huh?

(self assured laughter)

Looks like you're leading a lavish lifestyle!

No worries

Just wanted to touch base

Kumudha, I guess you recognize them?

How can she forget?

I will never forget

This is me

Kabali's wife

She's my daughter

Yogi

Take a good look

Let's go, dear

At least, for 1 day

Spend time with your family

Without a care in the world...

...sleep peacefully

What's that?

Ma...?

'Magizhchi!'

Yeah...!

Cheers...!

Only tonight I will sleep peacefully

But you?

(arrogant laughter)

Cheers...!

'Hello, Tony'

'Kabali is attacking us, la!'

'They barged into our factory and everything has been ruined'

'We are finished'

Get down...get down

Fast

Move

Drop your weapons

Get back

Check the containers

'The Police have entered our container yard'

'They have seized all our stock'

'House is on fire'

'We don't know what's going on'

'Shares are going down'

'I mean this is a disaster'

Veera-

(gunshot)

(screams of panic)

'Cheers...!'

Stop him

Are you the ruling family?

Stop it!

Yearning to come into power?

You stop that-

Did you own 1 cent of land in this country?

'What's happening?'

You want to rule the whole of Malaysia?

You didn't get a morsel of rice to eat when you came to Tamilnesan

Why didn't you just eat and leave?

If you dress like him...

...can you become Tamilnesan?

It has to be in your genes, man

Who and what you are!

Stop...!

I knocked off Tamilnesan who was such a big wig

Don't be so rude

Stop...!

As long as I am alive you cannot fulfill your dreams

I am not from a ruling family

But I am born to rule!

KABALI, I say

Master, are you okay?

Go...go...go

Calm down, Tony

Tony, calm down please

I am sorry

How the hell did he pull this, huh?

No

Kabali and his men must die tonight

Only 1 man can walk out from here breathing

This has to happen

Hey! Kabali has to die

Search for Kumaran

Quick!

Kabali's daughter In our hands now!

Come to the store in the east wing

Let us kill Kabali in our den

He has to answer for my father's death

'Kabali's daughter In our hands now!'

'Come to the store in the east wing'

Wait...wait

Something is wrong

Doesn't feel right

He shouldn't decide the place

Ask him to come to us

Send for him

Good!

Tony, they are here

Call her father now He will show up

Tony Lee and Veerasekaran spoke to me They wanted me to betray you

If I bring you to their den, they will make me the next Tamilnesan then

They tried to provoke me like they did to my father

Shouldn't let them win

I am Tamilnesan's grandson

I'll come forward and give up even my life for Kabali sir

Hey Kabali!

You thought you could get away with this

Come

I was waiting for you

Trying to play your games with me!

You've come in at the right moment

Yes...Tony

You bet I've come at the right moment

I've also been waiting for this moment for a very long time

Looking good

The suit...

...fits perfectly for you

(confident laughter)

Thank you

Cheers!

That is the speciality of this material

No caste attached to it whether a millionaire or a poor man wears it

But man's mind I must say....bah!

If at all I have another birth...

...I must never be born a human

Yes, for sure

Men like you should not be born as a human being again!

You are not qualified

After all...

...you are a Tamil Kling, right?

I have an idea

You should be a dog

My dog

(mimicking a dog's bark)

(brazen laughter)

Listen, man

Leaving behind our kith and kin, our motherland and settling here...

...we made forests into fertile fields

We are trampled by the Malaysians

You Chinese do the same Plus the Tamilians

Should Tamilians only be slaves?

Should never progress in life?

If someone comes to the forefront...

...into a powerful position

...dresses in a suit and sits crosslegged before you

...you can't digest it

I agree, I am a man of humble beginnings

I'll go back to cutting trees and plucking fruits

I will continue slogging I have nothing to lose

If you think I should not climb up the ladder, I swear I will!

You bet I'll wear a coat

I'll cross my legs and sit in style, showing attitude

If you can't handle it then go to your grave!

"Like fire blazing fiercely"

"Fire in all its fury Try confronting me"

"If you do we will char you"

"To thrash and trample"

"Even in your dreams is it possible?"

"If pushed around will you bow down?"

"To bullying will you buckle?"

"Will you heed any hurdle?"

"Dawn's new identity Our very own Kabali"

"Defer mercy Sever worry"

"Be patient, just a bit Your heart can beat it"

"Everything here is magical illusion"

"Your bravery will start a revolution"

"Righteous rage all the way through"

"Just one word from you the world will change anew"

"Kabali the revolutionary"

"Kabali the visionary"

"Kabali super-vigilante"

Kabali!!

Kabali!!

Forgive me

Let's start fresh

KL, Malaysia

Is all yours

I'll support you

Hereafter you are the king

You are the king

Cheers...!!

No, please Kabali...no!

- Congratulations - Thank you very much

Welcome, sir Hello, pa

Meena, put it in a plastic bag

Good...good...good

Meena takes care of our schoo-

She is very responsible Does a great job

That's true, pa

I don't cry nowadays

Very good

Kumudha, hereafter we have 1 more daughter

Meena, right?

Even I thought so

Thank you

We've just finished 12th grade

We'll get our results after 2 months

- Then do what? - She excels in her studies

There's no chance in hell I will pass

But we are more or less sailing in the same boat

You're angry we are being misused

But however well we study opportunities are less here for us

We will get admission for some unheard of course

We'll end up borrowing money to study in a private college

Why are you telling me all this?

We think only you can solve our problems, anna

I am a rowdy

General opinion

Fine, I accept I am a rowdy

I've studied a little bit

What do you want me to do?

Tiger, where were you all this while?

Tiger, where were you?
