Get out of the way!

Venkat, how did all this happen?

Won't you guys listen? Get off the way

Is he a saint?

- Your name.
- S. Venkatesan.

- Father's name.
- Shanmugam.

Mother's name.

Indrani.

- Age.
- 23.

Place of birth.

Speak up!
Place of birth.

It's easy to be born.

It's even easier to die.

Surviving in-between
is most difficult.

Dedaye, 90 Kms away from Rangoon

1988, Burma

Hello. Greetings

Greetings!
I'm Indrani's husband.

Oh! Hold on.
I'll call her.

Call Indra. She has a
phone call from India.

Indra "ma".
Phone call.

Hello! How are you?

I've been waiting for your call.
Did you find a job yet?

I did. I sell fish
every morning.

In the afternoon, I work
as a broker in the gold market streets.

I've arranged for you all too to come here.

How are the kids?

They're doing great.
It's dad! Say "Hi"!

Renu!

And, how's Venkat?

You little twits!
Come back here!

Our lives never knew sadness,
until the first separation.

Don't worry.

There are many more
like us over there.

Be safe.

And so, I left the only home I knew
for a land I knew nothing about.

Choney!

Wanderer! We bid you farewell.

The world is your motherland.

Oh wanderer! Son of these lands.

Your journey will take you home.

Our ride is here.

Where ever you wander,
where ever you look.

The sky is what you make it out to be.

The trees, the birds, and the
mountains are forever your's.

Fear not, for you are a
man of the people.

Better days lie ahead.

For each ending is just
a new beginning.

There is no journey without a path.

Believe, life will lead you
on the right one.

There is no life without a journey.

And so, live on the wanderers.

Madras

I was one among the hundreds of thousands
of Burmese Tamils...

...who immigrated to Madras
between 1960 and 1990.

Annaisivagami nagar, Burma Tamils colony,
Ennore, Chennai -600057

Don't cry dear

Please wait

Venkat, this is our home.

Look at our new house

Come, Shanmugam

Is this your wife?
What's your name, dear?

Indrani!

Indrani, all of us in this
colony are from Burma.

You'll be fine here.

Come

I'm Kumar.
What's your name?

I'm Venkat.

Come on!

This is Venkat.
He'll hang with us from now on.

This is Imphal.
That's his brother, Nonphal.

This is Sasi.
This is "Pillayar" (Lord Ganesha).

Don't call me "Pillayar" (Lord Ganesha).

I'm Manivannan.
That's what you'll call me.

How dare you?

I've told him not to go
with those boys to the beach.

What if he drowns
in the tide?

I'll never hit you again.

We need to start our own shop.
Build our own home.

And for that, you need to study
and make it big.

Fresh fish!

We are going out to play

(Angry crowd scolding and hitting)

Let me go! Please

Venkat. Look, they're beating the
crap out of someone. Hurry!

Don't hit me!

Wait, let me check it out.

What's wrong?

Look!

It's the truck driver's fault.

These guys drive like maniacs.

These accidents have
become too frequent.

Dad!

Dad wake up

Dad wake up

I never felt a father's fake anger
real affection ever after that.

Few years later

I was unemployed, waiting
for any opportunity to come my way.

There were plenty of others too,
jobless like me.

Hold on.

Our's is taller.
Take a look.

Hey! Back off!

Who cares about height?
It's about who pulls their weight.

You sure have "weight"
on your side.

He may be a rival fan, but he's
always on my side.

My best friend, Kumar.

Break it up!
Khakis are here.

What's the ruckus for?

Same rivalry as our time.
Different movie stars.

- Don't bother.
- Let's go.

Kumaran. He runs an "Atho"
stall every night in the hood.

His assistant, Nonpal.

Hey Kumar!
Three "Athos" to go.

This is Kesavan. He had some
clout in the hood once.

But only because of
who he worked for.

Please sit.

Siya (Boss)!
Why did you take the trouble?

It's fine.
How's business?

Staying afloat.

Gunaseelan. Respectfully known
as, Siya (boss).

Kesavan is only respected because
he works for him.

Bro. He seems cool
with you.

Can you ask him
to give me a job?

Siya, Venkat and his family
have been our tenants for years.

He's looking for work.

I studied economics for
two years in college.

My mom couldn't afford
the tuition further.

So I'm looking for a job.
Any job is fine.

Burma folk?

They came in 1988.
His father was a gold market salesman.

These kids are trouble.

A fight broke out yesterday.

Fan club rivalry.

Nothing like that.
It was all in fun.

It's fine. Just keep it
away from the market.

The market is where
we earn our living.

Bring him to the shop tomorrow.

You got it? Party time!
Where's the treat?

He hasn't even started.
He's still broke!

Did I ask you to pay?
It's my treat.

Just tell me you
have nice shoes.

I have so much clout here
it's like I own the place.

- Good evening, sir
- Good evening

- How are you?
- Fine, sir

- See you
- Okay, sir

He owns this hotel.
We're really tight.

Don't go there.
Let's go.

My special entrance.

Sasi, the smartest of us.
We call him Tip Top.

We call him that because of
where he works, and what he wears.

You're a true friend.

It's Karaoke Night. There won't
be any dance music.

Sorry man.

Dude, chill! We're good
with the free booze.

Say, "Cheers."

[Singing in Burmese.]

I lose myself...

When I find you.

So you can find me when I am lost.

My heart pines...

The world declines.

Killing me softly as I see you go.

Look at him.
Looks little and innocent.

But treats us in such a posh hotel
without spending a penny!

Who is she?

That voice!
That body!

Oh. She's a freelancer.

What? She sings for free?
Don't you pay her?

Dude! "Freelancer" means
she's not full-time.

I lose myself...

When I find you.

So you can find me when I'm lost.

Love you guys

This is Natasha & Team
Signing off

Thank you every one

That chick...

She sang the first few lines
in Burmese. Did you notice?

Really?

I was wasted after the first round.
Did you notice?

Dude, I'll lie down here
No not here, we've reached home

It's not every day a
a girl just knocks you out.

Probably some rich kid.
Out of my league.

Confidence!

You think this is a motel?

Move, mom!
Get off my case.

Give him this.

You loiter around all day
and come home for food.

How responsible!

Maybe, if you got a job, you could
actually get your sister married off.

I got a job.

Doing what?

Buying used jewellery.
Finding customers.

Like dad used to.

At Sowcarpet gold market.

14 grams. 920 miligrams.

Sell your old gold.

Get the old jewellery out.

I'll get them melted
and sell them off.

Why today?

Crude oil prices are up.
The dollar is weakening.

Gold will rise.
Why not wait?

Siya liked me.

The market lingo, business tactics,
the way of the bazaar...

He taught me a lot.

The road to success is
in impressing the boss.

I have to deduct for the
making and wastage.

Have some squid.

Is it tough, standing out in the sun
yelling your head off?

Whatever. No big deal.

If only my father was alive
to witness all this.

Like you're some big,
respected official!

Tippu, don't be mean, man.

I feel his pain as a
fatherless child.

Up your's!

Nonphal, pass me those
sand crabs.

When will you take me
to your club?

Let it shut down.
Then I'll take you.

I got something
that'll shock you!

Now what could that be?

Remember that chick we
saw at your club?

- I followed her for a week.
- That chick?

Turns out she doesn't live too far away.

Madhavaram
K.K.R Town, 1st street

I thought she'd be
filthy rich.

With an expensive car...

But she walked with her brother
and waited for the bus.

Curious, I followed
her into the bus.

Turns out, she teaches music
to little kids.

So I grew a pair
and decided to talk to her.

You spoke to her?

You're a rockstar, bro!

Thank you

I am Venkat, working in Rangoon Jewellers
NSC Bose Road, Sowcarpet

- Do you take this bus every day?
- Yeah.

We are friends hereon

She looked at me like
I was a stalker and walked away.

Who the hell puts rice, lentils and
coriander in Moinga Kowsway?

Go ahead, Dude.

Where's Venkat?
Seems like a sharp kid.

Not really. It's all an act
in front of you.

The moment you leave,
he's gone.

I doubt he's interested in our work.

I told you I was going
to open a bank account.

What's with the back-stabbing?

Why the hell would I do that?

Quiet!

Greetings

- Are they all here?
- Yes, Sir.

Stop

Jeweller's association
Chennai

For President post

Pusaram.

Do we agree?

Absolutely! We agree.

For Vice President, myself.
Do we agree?

Absolutely! It's decided.

Next..For Treasurer...

Gunaseelan.
Do we agree?

Yes, of course!

What's wrong with all of you?

That man lost 3 crores of our money
saying he'd legitimize it.

He's put up a shop
on the main road.

When will he return
that money?

And you want to make
him treasurer.

Come on, Arul. It's because
of that loss...

That he's dealing used gold
and let go of the main business.

That's when I learnt of Siya's massive
debts in the market.

I don't care. Ask him to repay the
association's money now.

Or let me be the treasurer.

Pusaram, he's right too.
He should pay us back.

Please don't get angry.

Give me a couple of days.

I'll pay you back.

The money and position
are not important.

My reputation is everything.

In two days, I'll have a plan
to pay you back.

After that, whatever you decide,
I will accept.

I've mortgaged the house papers and
taken the cash.

I'll see you at home.

Don't make delay

Stop near that bridge.

Okay, Siya

I need to collect something.

Stay in the car.

Hello? I'm at Ajax Bridge.
How long will you be?

Is it?

Who was that?

Get in the car.

Back up

- Venkat, let's go.
- Get back in the car.

Let's go

No. Let's go

Pls get in

Boss, Get in.

Kumar! Trouble near Ajax Bridge.
Hurry up.

Come fast men

Get there

Get Siya out of here!

Siya get in

Go, Siya

Please get in. He'll manage.

We can't just leave him here.

Kumar, help him.

Start the car

Who are you?
Who sent you?

Gunaseelan. We're peers.

I made a mistake.
Forgive me.

We can divide the market share equally.

What would you do if it was
my neck and your dagger?

You tried to kill me.

Let me speak to Venkat.

What should we do with him?

Let them off with a warning.

Are you kidding me?
They tried to kill you!

We're better than them.

He did beg for forgiveness.

Let's not escalate this.

Let him go.

Ok boss

Hey looks like Siya

Siya. What are you doing here?

Am I not welcome
in your house?

Of course, you are.
Welcome, madam.

Renu! Siya's here.

Welcome

Hi

I'll get mom.

What the hell is wrong with you?
I heard you got into a fight.

Everyone's talking about it
except you!

Siya's inside!

- Why didn't you say so?
- Go inside!

Welcome. Please excuse
the mess.

Renu, make some coffee.

You saved his life.

We owe you everything.

Siya, what's with all this?

Making fun of me

Thank you, my saviour.

Siya, you need to stop this.

I don't extend a hand
to everyone.

Give me that.

Here, keys to my other shop.

You're not just a salesman.

You'll run my shop.

Take it!

Take your father's blessing.

I'm so grateful.
Make a man out of him.

Take the van from our shed.

Take your friends along for help.

Boss had another shop in the same market

Tharni Import & Export

I was asked to take care of it

It's a Sunday. Just open the shop
for good luck, and come home.

In this old shop...

We used to deal in
gold imports.

Then, I got swayed by a financier...

And took 3 crores from our association...

And invested it in a movie to
legitimize it.

The movie got shelved and
I didn't get my money back.

All I had left was a huge debt.

That one wrong move has led to
all this disgrace.

After yesterday, I've decided to
put an end to all this.

I'm going to start importing
gold again.

That shop has remained shut
since I stopped bringing in gold.

I couldn't trust
anyone with it.

I've mortgaged this house and
some other property for cash.

I'm going to bring in some gold from
Singapore and sell it here.

This is the only way
I can pay my debts off.

Can you run that shop
and help me out with this?

Siya, stop asking.
Just say the word.

How much?

One.

Hey kid. Put this away.

When will you get there?

Around noon.

I'll take care of it.

We gave him all the money.
How do we buy the gold?

Singapore

You were concerned
about the money.

The paper mart "Chettiyar" and these
people have an arrangement.

It's called "Hawala". A trust-based
exchange network.

There might be some
heat at the airport.

Don't worry. We'll reach it to you
safely in a couple of days.

As promised, the gold was
promptly delivered to us.

It was smuggled in without
paying import duties.

And we re-sold it to local buyers.

What's the rate today?

Soon, people started
seeking us out.

Got a fresh batch in.
Get the cash ready.

In barely thirty days,
we were all over the market.

Our phones wouldn't
stop ringing.

The rate has gone up today.

Other merchants invested
their money with us.

Our profits increased.

Siya used every penny to
repay the association members.

Please come. Guna sent money?

- Total profit is 11 Lakhs.
- What's 10% of it?

1 lakh 10 thousand.

Your salary.

Take this, mom

- Where is this from?
- Business is good!

In those six months,
I started respecting myself.

Earning a living gives
one a sense of pride.

Venkat, Bro I need your help.

Can you come with me to my
tuition centre tomorrow?

A goon is harassing
me and my friend.

He threatened to pour acid on us
if we didn't go out with him.

I'm scared. His name is Thilakan.
He's very old too.

Is he Thilakan?

Yeah, why?

Ask him to stop harassing
young girls.

Look at this bad ass!
Threatening me.

Kiddo, leave

I'm sorry! I won't even
go near those girls.

Who's your boss?

Aarumugam.

Where's Aarumugam?

Why?

I had to rough up Thilakan.
I need to sort it out.

How dare you lay
a hand on him?

You want me to call the
Khakis instead?

Come. See what's going on

Please wait

It is that guy
Look over there

What the hell is happening here?

He stabbed Thilakan.

Why's he still standing?
Get the machete.

Sarcasm 'eh?

He harassed a young girl.

Hold on hold on

Girl?
What?

That's my boss's daughter
back there.

She's only seventeen.

He threatened to throw acid on her
if she resisted him.

Why should women live
in constant fear?

I asked him to back off.

He refused.
I roughed him up.

- Where are you from?
- Burma Nagar.

We got friends out there.

He was wrong.

I'll talk to him.

Next time, come directly to me.
No machettes

Lay off my guys.
Get out of here.

Brother. Venkat.

That was awesome!
This is my friend.

That's her sister.

Venkat is like an
elder brother to me.

Hi!

You guys go ahead
Bye

Bye, brother

Thank you

You know I was so worried

I don't know how I would've
dealt with this.

Sorry, I was a bit
rude that day.

But we can be friends
Friends?

The sky without you,
is the fire that burns me through.

Every breath I take is for you.

The woman in you,
defines the man in me.

My love, can't you see?

A moment in time.

Our eyes locked, our hands met.

Lost in you.

My sweet love...

You torture me sweetly.

Only you!

The flower that
bloomed in my eyes.

The breeze that
swept my tears dry.

The sky without you,
is the fire that burns me through.

Every breath I take is for you.

The woman in you,
defines the man in me.

My love, can't you see?

When I didn't see myself

I saw me through you

As the root immerse in sand

you engulfed my heart

No one knew the real me.

Until you, for all to see.

Your silence, my goddess...

Whisked me away
like sand in the wind.

Glass doors on this side.

Gold items over here.

Some silver.

And some diamonds.

I have big dreams.
Let's see if they come true.

All shall happen

For sure!

Syed Nawazuddin

I'm Manohar, Sir.

I'm Syed. Syed Nawazuddin.

I could have run this op'
with my DRI officers.

But smugglers have eyes
ears everywhere.

In most countries, gold
reserves are kept in banks.

But in India, we lock it
up in our homes.

This greed has led to a rise in
illegal gold smuggling into India.

And in your jurisdiction, especially
in and around Sowcarpet...

NSC Bose Road, and small Lanes like
Kasi Chetty street, Mint street, Manady

It's happening under our noses.

Are all the business in the area
into this?

No...no

Not all.

Some of them.

Gold is smuggled in from abroad
and peddled locally.

Business is dictated by
fluctuating rates.

They hide in plain sight, in broad daylight
and peak business hours.

For them, it's business.
For us, this is smuggling and gambling.

It's organized crime, with rules
and their own association.

My main target is Gunaseelan.

He's resurfaced after laying
low for a year.

If we nail him, we can
apprehend the entire nexus.

Hey look, it's Natesan.

- Who the hell is that?
- That chick, Natesan.

Her name is Natasha, you moron.

Hey, how've you been?

You're a big shot now.

Before, you'd follow me
around everywhere.

Now, it's like I don't exist.

I'm still only after you.

This is the competition
I'm auditioning for.

It can lead to singing in the movies.

It's my dream, you know?

Since you love music,
I got you something.

iPod...for me?

Thank you so much

Let us in.

Manohar, nobody goes in or out.

I'm with a customer.
This is disrespectful.

I know all about your customers
and your business.

Manohar, search thoroughly.

Who are you?

She's a customer.

- Please leave.
- Go

Did you not hear me?
Leave!

You go home
I'll call you later

Don't you hear?

- Open the locker.
- Yes sir

There's nothing there.

Shut up!

Nothing here.

Just like I told you.

You'll slip, some day.

Who'll clean this up?

Sorry sir

Hello

Where are you?
I need to see you.

Be at my place by 11:50.

I can't come so late to...

I knew what was coming.

Either I have to find another job...

Or I have to find another girl.

As usual, Natasha surprised me.

I just come back, okay

Come in. Why are you
standing here?

Music and a party.
What's the occasion?

It's my mom's birthday.

Even though she passed away,
we still celebrate it.

Since we've grown close,
I wanted you here.

Dad asked me to call you too.

Your information was wrong, Arul.

The shop was clean.

Your men must've tipped them off.

They're rookies.
They'll slip soon.

So this is why you called.
I was freaking out.

Why were you freaking out?

Because of what happened at the shop...

I feared, you wouldn't
want to see me again.

I trust you.

Your business is yours.

Money isn't real Venkat
Only seems real

Let it go. Like you told
me that day...

Start your own shop.
Something simple and small.

I never questioned if
I was doing the right thing.

But for you, I want
to do the right thing.

I'm just afraid you might
get into trouble.

It's been on my mind.
So I had to say it.

Sometimes, a small moment is all it
takes to make a big decision.

That's what was on your mind.
Do you know what's on mine?

What would that be?

Nothing

It's you mom's birthday.
It'd be rude not to give you a gift.

Gift...?

No gift is not...

Dude, what if her
dad saw you?

Natasha! Don't worry
about me!

I will grow old and bald
only with you.

I'll be fine!

Get in, before you
hurt yourself.

I heard your son
is a film student.

Siya got this from
Singapore just for you.

Costs a bomb!

Make sure he studies hard.
Education is everything.

Why are there cops
outside Siya's house?

For our protection, Bro.

Hey, isn't that our
"Pillayar"?

Hey, he's not the old chubster.

He's Head Constable, Manivannan!

Don't cops have a fitness test?

How does "Pillayar" become police?

Do you remember
those seminars?

For widow remarriage schemes.

Do you know who
pioneered it?

The mom of a guy I know.

I've heard of step-mothers.

But this guy had a step-father.

His widowed mom hooked up
with a Burmese guy.

He couldn't bear it, so he runs an
Atho stall and lives with grandma!

He's a cop!
Are you crazy?

He started first

Sorry Manivannan.
Are you okay?

We will show him one day

Which son is a student? Eldest right?

It's you!
Not bad at all.

Someone from our hood
studied well and became a cop.

- How are you?
- I'm good, Siya.

You had a nickname, didn't you?

It's on the tip of my tongue.

Yeah, "Pillayar"!

Wasn't that it?

Manivannan, start the car.

Laughing? when I talk?

All I want, is to find a nice
groom for my sister...

I'm doing alright
with my girl too.

I'll just hang on till
Siya repays his debts.

Then, set up a small shop
in the market, where I started.

Once I make enough for it,
I'll tell Siya I want out.

It's not like we're born
gold smugglers.

We just gave it a shot.

What's up?

You always talk about finding
such a great groom for your sister.

Is someone like me
not good enough for her?

What did you say?

When we came to India,
your grandma sheltered us.

When my father died,
she fed us.

You got me a job
and saved my life!

Who else could possibly
be good enough for my sister?

You are our man

Cheers

I thought we could become family.
That's all.

Not just family.

If I ever put up that shop,
we'll be partners.

We'll be big shots
in Sowcarpet!

And you...

Go catch fish.

I won't leave you

Try catch me now

Then we'll discuss about partnership

Stop there

Shut her mouth!

Remove her pants.

As if you are new

Turn his head!

Look at them

Look at you

It's all cool.

Filthy dogs!

You got some nerve!

Get your hands off her!

You are over reacting.

My pants!

Run, you sick swines!

Will kill you guys if next time

Underwear romeo

Let me complain to your mom

With sand crabs in tow...

A blazing party we throw!

Let's feel that beat.

My bro's hooked up, yo!

Journeyed from foreign lands...

A son of the soil.

He packs a punch!

And that's not just a hunch.

Atho and Moinga...

Our Burmese grub!

The way we dress...

Our stylish mess!

The hood's rockin'!

For this weddin'!

The town's partyin'!

Don't by shyin'!

Blessings and wishes
for the Mr. and Mrs.

Shower your blessings...

On the man and his wife.

As Lord Peelikaan Muniyan
watches over us.

Emptying our purses...

We shower them with gifts.

For each other we stand.

The cash we're countin'!

Damn, we're tirin'!

It's all for our own.

From those we love.

No Tom, Dick or Harry...

But a gem of a guy.

In the blink of an eye...

Scored! How sly?

Keep it together.

Hold on for ever.

It's about give and take.

Don't let it break.

Have a beer...

Fight, don't fear.

Hug, kiss, make-up...

Just don't break up!

Friends turning family.

You were always the one for me.

Pinch me, if it's a dream...

A match made in heaven,
I'll scream!

Journeyed from foreign lands...

A son of the soil.

He packs a punch!

And that's not just a hunch.

(chorus verses)

Few days later

Guna, I'm impressed by how quickly
you've repaid your debts.

You have a strong team.

Grab the opportunity.
Do something big.

One big deal.

I'll ask the association
to front you the cash.

I'm not getting any younger.
I've been president for 14 years.

Make us some money in this deal.
You'll be the next president.

Boss!

Good morning, sir

Greetings, sir

(sings a song in a mocking manner)

I never expected this.

I've got my reputation back.

They show me respect.

Pusaram is asking me to do
that one big deal.

Those who mocked me, cheated me...

I'll get back at them
with this deal.

The association will front us.

We'll import the gold and sell here
so everyone can make money.

I need to get back
what I lost.

I never expected this, just as
I was about to get out.

With the money we make,
start your own shop.

Siya used all his contacts to
smuggle in gold in kilos.

It would be smuggled in by people
clueless about what they were carrying.

Touring musicians.

Passengers.

Flight attendants.

Specialist smugglers.

And many such people
brought us our gold.

We've brought in a lot of gold.
It's a huge risk.

There's too much heat
from the DRI.

We can't sell it here.

I've hit up an old
contact in Rangoon.

Can you take the gold there?

If we can bring it into Chennai,
Rangoon is no big deal.

It's our backyard.

If we do this right, a lot
people will benefit.

They're going to Rangoon.
Must be big.

We'll nab them at the airport.

You can load your cylinders.

I haven't forgotten
what you said.

This one trip can
fix everything.

I'll be a changed man
once I'm back.

I love you

We set off to Rangoon, on the same
route I traveled as kid to come to India.

Rajamundry

Chennai airport

Sir, they're not at the airport.

Calcutta

Siya had contacts everywhere.

Local dealers in every city
were at our service.

We're halfway there,
in Manipur.

IMPHAL - Manipur

Our next stop is Moreh.

Moreh

Moreh, a small town on
the India-Burma border.

The last Indian town,
this side of the border.

Here people from both
the countries do trade

Moreh Market

Who are you calling?

Choney, my childhood friend.
He has a shop here.

Choney, where are you?

Come here!

- How have you been?
- All good.

- And at home?
- All good.

Your friends?

Meet Tip Top and Kumar.

Greetings!

Your fake "mapotae" is ready.

It'sll be very useful to you here

Bro, what's he saying?

This "mapotae" is a local ID card.

With these, we can pass off
as local Burmese Tamils.

Bro, my friends.
Help them cross the border.

I've informed the driver.

I'll see you in Rangoon.

What are they going to
do in Burma?

Bad omen, man.

Stick a turtle in his mouth!

Indian army's last border check point

Why stopping?

Where are you going?

Mandalay.
What's inside?

Fruits

Open the door

Who is that?
- Army

Permit paper?
Ok

Bill copy?

You can leave now

India - Myanmar border region

- Border bridge?
- Yes.

- We're in Burma?
- As soon as we cross to the yellow side.

Mandalay

Get down.

I'll hop in front.

Rangoon. The land of my birth.

See how he's staring at us

Here only he said. We need to go in.

You made it!

- Yo Kaeney (Fool)!
- It's Choney.

Boy am I glad to see you.

- This is it.
- Great!

What is it?

We are Gunaseelan's men.

Come on in.

Siya, Guna's men are here.

Keep it down. Slowly.

What will they do with so
much gold at this age?

Shut up. He's the local
association president.

It's good.

All done, Siya.
We have the money.

Super! Give me some time.

Stay nearby.

I'll tell you where to
take the money.

Once you hand over the money, I'll
take it from the papermart "Chettiyar" here

Give here

It won't fit here.

Check the bathroom.
There may be a false ceiling.

How are you?

I miss you.
When are you back?

Bro, keep chatting with
your local chick.

I'm going after some
international ones.

When are you taking me there?

Next time, but by flight.

Whatever you say.

Siya's calling.

Siya...?

Tell him I'm in the shower.

But first, a little gift.

What gift?

Okay, bye

Siya gave this address for
the money drop.

We need to drop it off at 2 am.

2am, Yangon - Mandalay Highway

This is the police.
Please pull over to the side.

- Cops?
- Are they talking to us?

Don't stop. We'll get caught.

- What do we do?
- Keep calm.

Say we're going to
the Hindu temple.

Where to?

Hindu temple in Mandalay.

Step out of the car.

What are they saying?

Out! Come on!

Step into the light.

- Native town?
- Daeria.

- Which temple are you going to?
- Pelikan.

Check the car.

Are you carrying anything illegal?

- Drugs?
- No, Sir.

Gold?

Any fake dollar, currency?

"Mapotae".

Yes here

Give men

Anything?

No. The car is clean.

Hereafter don't drive this fast
You can go

Venkat, let's go.

Let's get out of here!

What's wrong with you?

The money!

Where's the money?

Where the hell is the money?

Where?

Where?

Where did it go?

Six Crores!

Where?...

Those cops must
have stolen it.

Are you nuts?
In front of all of us?

It's not even our money!

Venkat don't panic

We made the exchange
and went straight to the hotel.

Venkat let's go to the hotel

Yes dude

Yes come. Lets check in the hotel

Careful. We will find it
Take the car.

Excuse me.

Let me speak.

Can we see the room
they stayed in?

There are new guests there.

We need to check it out.

Not possible.

We lost something.

Then please fill out this
lost and found form.

We don't have time
for all that!

Hey, come here.

Did you find anything
while cleaning their room?

No, nothing.

What the hell do
you mean?

Calm down

Why don't you call
the police?

We can't go to the police.

I think the old lady
played us.

She gave us the money and then
had her men steal it.

I'm sure it is her.
Let's go.

They will be dead meat if they'd cheated

The money is gone.

No one else knew
about this deal.

I want my money.
Where is it?

How dare you?

Don't forget who
you're talking to.

Get out! Your 6 crores is peanuts for us

I warned you about
these Tamils.

See how they behave.

- Watch it!
- I dare you!

Hit me! I dare you.

Stop it. Calm down.

Leave now or I'll call Guna.

Don't. We'll leave.
For now.

You better pray we find
the money.

Calm down.
I'll talk to him.

You need to calm down.

This association has done
much bigger deals.

and no one here will stoop
that low.

Distrust is never good
for business.

With the military regime here..

they just might throw you in prison
for tresspassing or smuggling.

You'll go in for years.

Go home.

Don't worry.
We'll find it.

But how?

It could be your local friend too.

Oh just shut up.

I'm so lost.

We're wandering aimlessly.

What do you want me to do?

Venkat! Boss is calling man

No. Don't pick up

Who is it?

It's not safe for
you to stay here.

You're here illegally.

Risky here. Go and come back
quickly via passport and visa

Till then I'll keep looking
for the money, buddy

Answer it.
Let's just tell Siya.

Tell him what?

That I lost his entire
life's earnings?

How do I tell him that?

Not telling him is worse.

Yeah. Just speak to him.

Kesavan is probably
spinning stories about us already.

Talk to him.

I trusted you blindly.

You had ONE job!

We looked everywhere.

We threatened the
hotel staff.

It was no use.

I still think it is the old
lady and her gang.

They pretended to do business
and then stole it from us.

They're millionaires.
They don't need to steal from us.

This is pocket change
for them.

Thete is a limit for everything, Siya

They've stolen the money and
are putting up an act.

Leave them to me.

I'll bring their families in and
break a few bones.

The money will automatically
show up.

How can you say that?

I don't trust you either.
Shall we bring your family in?

Up your's!

Calm down, All of you

Yes, sir.

Are your boys back?

Not yet.

Too many security
checks, it seems.

They'll deliver the money in
a couple of days and return.

It's everyone's investment capital
That's why bothered.

I've nominated you for president.

It'll get confirmed in 4 days.

Let's finish this before that.

Of course, sir.

I never expected this.

I'm not pointing fingers.

You heard him.

You see what I'm
going through?

Figure out something.

Anything!

We'll do whatever you ask us to do...

Don't ask me!

Stay away from the market
and the hood.

We'll get screwed if
the merchants find out.

I don't care what you do.
I need the money in three days.

This is my only chance for presidency.

I can't stand insults further.

If word spreads that
I screwed up again, I'll...

(stutters in sadness)

Boss..please boss..

You're going too easy on them.

Every rookie will cheat you.

Hey..If we don't get the money back..

I'll skin you alive!

6 crores!

Siya trusted me blindly.

I let him down.

Everything always
starts so well for me.

And then, some how...

It all comes crashing down!

I was going to quit after this.
All of it!

My mother had such
high hopes.

Relax
It's gonna be okay

It's an old office. My grandpa
worked security here.

I used to bring chicks
and get high here.

We'll be safe.

What dude?

I've never felt so helpless.

I felt the end was near.

We should've stayed in Rangoon.

Imagine the stories
Kesavan would've spun.

We did the right thing.

We wouldn't be
able to face anyone.

Not like it's any
better now.

I have an idea.
Hear me out.

What?

Those merchants like Pusaram
have loads of cash at home.

We can break in and take
a little from each one.

Are you trying to get us blacklisted from market?
Use your head.

Let's see if you
have a better idea.

- Did Choney call?
- Nope.

Boss voice: If word spreads that
I screwed up again, I'll.

I got it!
This is it!

What now?

Remember we ran into
my hotel owner?

He has a son.

Let's nab him.
He's got a crapload of cash.

He'll pay.

If we get busted
we'll be in for a long time!

You want to open a few more
"Atho" stalls to earn the cash?

I think he's right.

My situation didn't give me the luxury to make
a choice between which is right and wrong

So, what's your plan?

Now, you're talking!

We'll nab him when he goes
swimming at his school.

We need to deal with
the driver.

And as backup, we need a gun.

Where have you been?

Hurry up before
anyone sees you.

Dhanasekhar!

Imphal!

Boys from the hood.
Tip Top and "Atho" Kumar.

I know them.

Greetings

What can I do you for?

Blow or chicks?
We got it all.

Chinese, Thai, Ukrain, Uzbek
Russia, and local.

Say the word.

No, not chicks.

No chicks?

Something else?

Coke, ecstasy.
Heaven awaits!

Not that

We need a gun.

Some clients you've
brought me.

I've got it.
But it's not cheap.

Okay

You didn't buy it from me.

Don't drag me into anything.

Okay

Made in Italy, Made in Germany
Made in Meenjur, Manali (nearby hoods)

Bro, pick a cheap one.

13,500
Plus 1250 only

With bill?

No no.. I didn't mean to...

See you around

Why do you need a gun?
What's going down?

As we're dealing with so much cash
it's just for business safety.

Yes. Safety first! Dealing with a lot
of cash? are you?

Don't even ask.
It's raining cash! (frustrated tone)

Which way to
Sholinganallur?

That's in the other direction...

Take the main road.
Go little ahead..then..

There will be an U turn..Hey..

Move it!

Hey hey.. He's come

Hold this

Hold his legs
Come on, quick

He's heavy man

Venkat, Start the car

Watch it!

Careful. His head.

Heavy like a sand bag

Like a whale he weighs, God

Wait outside.

Here, practice your lines.

We have your son.

If you want him alive...

You have 48 hours to
come up with 6 crores.

We want it in 100s.
Not withdrawn from a bank.

The serial numbers
should be random.

With so many conditions,
he won't want his son back!

Let him worry about that.
Why are you so worked up?

You make the call then!

They'll recognize my voice!

Private number
Put it on loudspeaker

Hello

I'm sure you understand
what's going on.

We won't jerk you around
and we expect the same in return.

6 Crores, cash.

Nothing more or less.

I'll call you back with details.

Keep the cops out of it.

Don't forget, you
have another kid.

Put my son on!
I'll get the cash.

That's it. 48 hours.
And we're clear.

Inspector Manohar's phone bill.

With the statement

He's been tipping off
Gunaseelan and Venkat regularly.

That's why they
keep escaping us.

I'm taking him off the team.

Find me another cop
from that area.

Someone clean, please.

Sorry, sir

Hello

David, asst.commisioner here.
Is it Manivannan?

Sorry dude

Tomorrow 11:30pm.
The broken bridge by the highway.

Drive yourself. Drop the money.
Take your son.

Sure

I'll be there.

You'll get the money.
Don't hurt our son, please.

What's that noise?
Check it out!

Where's the kid?

He was just eating here man

Lock the main gate

Tippu..You check the back gate

Buddy? Is he there?

Not here
Lets check inside again

Kid! You won't fit.
Let's go.

Trying to escape? You smart kid?

He's just a kid.
Don't hit him.

Grow a pair, you twits! Untie me
and fight me like men!

'Just a kid', huh?

Will hang you upside down

The kid is trouble.
Still a day to go.

We need to take turns
watching him.

Bring the kid.

Hello

- Have you left?
- Just about to.

- Is the cash ready?
- Yes, of course!

No cops!

Not at all!

Coming alone?

Yes, alone!

Ask about our son

What about my son?

He's coming safe

You can start

I'm so nervous.
Turn on the radio.

Ok

"Our topic of discussion today..."

"If you're home alone on a weekend,
what all will you do?"

Lots of listeners are calling us..
Lets see who's..

Turn this off!
What is this crap?

If I was home alone...

I would find a hot chick.

I would bring her home, and...

Stop it.

I was going to say I'll show my home around

Don't act so innocent.

Let it go man. How much original
content will they come up with?

There's a lot of competition.

You too?

Have you thought about
how we'll make the drop?

We got it covered.

Being so stuck up all the time
isn't helping anything.

Yes he's right dude

Get your mind off it.
Talk about something else.

Lets not get too conscious.
Shut up man..

Switch on the light

It wasn't me!

It just went off!

What have you done?

Why'd you hit the damn brakes?

It's a stupid dog!

He's alive!

Is it?

Start the vehicle. Someone may spot us

Hit on the shoulders only
Hey take care of him

Go fast dude

I saw a hospital on the way.
Let's leave him there.

Put it in his pocket.
His dad's number.

There.. here.. drop him over here

Come man

Hey.. you, fool!

Stupid Venkat
Get inside the car

It's a small boy.
Get the stretcher

Hello

We were on our way.
Your son got hurt.

He's in Ponneri hospital.

We don't want the money.
Go see your son.

Hello

Why did you load the gun?

A kid could be dead.

He'll live! You took your
eyes off the road.

The cops will be on it.
We're screwed!

I'll turn myself in.

It's Siya.

Don't answer.

Let's think.

What's up, Kesavan?
Long time, no see.

You're playing the
big leagues these days.

We're just selling
used jewellery.

Oh, don't be so humble.

Gunaseelan's gang
has quite the rep.

"Atho" Kumar and Tip Top
were here.

They'd crap their
pants seeing a knife.

They're buying guns now!

All because they
work for you.

They did what?

Why'd they buy a gun?

Don't pretend. They told me about
all the cash you're rolling in.

Ask Siya to give me a shot too.
I'm not bad at business.

They bought a gun!

"Atho" Kumar has the nerve to
tell him they're rolling in cash.

Why do they need a gun?

I warned you
not to trust them.

I knew they'd be trouble.

I can earn back
any amount of money.

I won't be cheated.

If they're trying to cheat me...

I'll make them beg for death.

Businessman's son's kidnapping
and attempted murder.

The search for the
culprits intensifies.

The motive could be a
business rivalry...

Or a current or ex-employee...

Or an ex-employee looking
to make a quick buck.

The police are leaving
no stone unturned.

What about the kid?

Thank God.
He's alive.

It's all over!

You guys will get off easy.
Not me.

I'm so screwed!

They're looking into
ex-employees.

I'm already pissed off!
Shut it!

Siya is waiting for the money.

I don't know how he's coping.

Oh! You still plan to come
up with the money?

Get real!

Shut up

Go ask him for some more time.

Not on the phone.

Face to face.

Don't look at me.

The cops must be
looking for me.

All of us going together is risky

I'll go.

It's all on you, man.

If you can't buy time, at least
ask Siya to shield us from the cops.

If it comes to that,
I'll surrender.

I will not reveal anything

Stop saying that!

We're equally responsible.

Get going.

Careful dude

It's been three days.

He doesn't answer.
He doesn't call.

And he's taken her husband along.

I thought he had finally
straightened out.

He won't change.

No. He'll surely call.

I couldn't get through.

If he calls me,
I'll let you know.

Drink up. Let's get some Biryani.

I'm craving some "Atho".

I'll beat the crap out of
anyone who mentions "Atho".

Why does that
piss you off so much?

Venkat and Sasi are alright.

But that swine, "Atho" Kumar...

Why does he care
what we do?

He thinks he's a gangster.

When did a damn hawker
start pushing us around?

We need to shut him up.

Or no one will
take us seriously.

We'll lose all cred.

I don't care.

The hand he slapped me with...

I'm going to break it.

Why break it.
We'll cut it off!

I've reached Tippu.
I'm heading home first.

I'll meet Siya first thing in the morning.

Inform Venkat

Let's see what you've got!

You should've stayed
out of it.

Who's that?

So badly injured

Where are Venkat and Sasi?

Why didn't you cry for help?

Why didn't you cry for help?
Hang on brother

Manivannan! Come here!

What's with all the blood?

They stabbed Kumar.

Kumar?

What the hell happened?

Can you hear me?

Call an ambulance!

Dream Stay Hotel.

We kidnapped the boy.

We screwed up!

Call for a vehicle.
Qucik

Venkat and Sasi
are in danger.

Tell Siya.

You guys were doing alright.
Why did you get into this?

Please inform Siya, "Manivannan".

Slow down

What did we do to deserve this?

An act of Karma?

Did I bring my grandson here to die like this?

Was it for this?

Renu, my dear

Indra. Your son used to be with him always
What now?

Not able to bear this pain

Venkat! How could you let
him die like that?

Am dying here

They have killed my dearest

My love has gone away

My soul has passed away

I'm going to kill the
scoundrels who did this!

Where are you going?

I've already lost your dad.

Your sister lost her husband.

Who all will you kill?

They'll come back for you.

You're the only man
left in the family!

Put it down!

Look.

I never questioned
you all these days.

I don't care who
did this to him.

Let it end now.

Before his corpse
is brought home...

I don't want another
one carried out.

Yes sir

I don't know who did it.

He was brutally stabbed.

Something about Dream Stay Hotel,
a kidnapping...

That Sasi and Venkat
are in danger.

Inform Siya "Manivannaa"

That's all he said.
And then, in my lap, he just...

We always fought.

But he was a good guy.

Hey! Calm down

I am sorry, Manivannan

Calm down.
Don't cry

Find out everything you can
about this kidnapping.

- Ok?
- Ok, sir

I'm Kumar.
What's your name?

I'm Venkat.

Siya, I've known Venkat
since childhood.

He's looking for work.

You're always talking about
finding your sister some great groom.

Am I not good enough for her?

Venkat?

I know who killed him!

Why did we go to Rangoon?

Why did all this happen?

Why did we nab that kid?

Why? For all this?

It was those sick perverts!
The ones we beat up at the beach.

They killed him.

- Is it?
- Yes

I just found out.

- Where are they?
- Nearby. Let's go!

Lets go now

Were you able to find out what
the motive was behind the kidnapping?

They don't even know
who the kidnappers are.

Turns out, that hotel owner
is a money launderer.

He cleans up a lot
of black money.

We getting closed somewhere

Anyhow in kidnap case,

Sasi and Venkat are
the key to all of it.

Tell me..

The room next to our's was booked
by Tip Top in his own name, 'Sasi'

The hotel staff saw
him go in there.

Venkat are you on line?

Venkat are you there?
You hear me?

Hey, come!

Why did you do it?

- Of all the people...
- What?

What were you doing in the
room next to our's?

Answer me.

Answer me now

Why do you think its in my name?
What was I doing in the other room?

Just sometime back You asked me why
all this was happening.

It was all planned.

Check the bathroom
for a false ceiling.

Keep at it with your local chick.

I'm going to check out
some international ones.

The money, the kidnapping,
all went as per plan.

But that fool, Kumar!
He had to screw it up!

I wasn't happy sending
him to his death.

But he really messed it up.

It's a long term plan

It's all on you.

If it comes to that
I'll surrender.

Why did you do it?

You guys will become family,
business partners, set up a shop...

But I should just catch fish!
How's that fair?

I have dreams too.

Siya was so good to us.

How could you betray him?

Gunaseelan tried to clean up 3 crores
of association money...

through that hotel owner
by investing in a movie.

But the hotel owner
cheated Gunaseelan.

Gunaseelan started his operations
back up out of desperation.

Yes, I got it

Gunaseelan was trying to recover
the money he lost to the hotel owner.

He masterminded this
and used those boys.

So, it is all about the kidnapping

Siya planted me in that hotel
to get his money back.

He promised me his shop,
but you came along!

Who is this guy?
He's got guts!

Quit the hotel.
I have a better plan.

He's a straight-up guy.
He won't do it.

We'll make him do it.

All those who cheated me,
insulted me...

I'll get back at them
with this deal.

Instead of being loyal to me,
they'll start their own business, is it?

He played you so he could
extort double from the hotel owner.

I want the money
in three days.

I'll turn myself in.

He wants to go to the cops.

If he goes to the cops,
we're all screwed.

Split them up.

Send "Atho" Kumar here.

Whoever shows up first,
get rid of them.

Sir

Venkat's gang killed "Atho" Kumar.

Kumar's gang is out for revenge.

I've received information.

It's a gang war.

Just go.

Ok, sir

- Is Gunaseelan here?
- No, sir.

- Cover his house.
- Sir!

- Right away.
- Ok, sir

What happened?
Are you hurt?

What didn't I do for you?

I saved your life.

I made your problems
my own.

You killed Kumar.
You corrupted Sasi.

You ruined my life!

I made a man out of you!

You made me….?

Calm down!

It's just business.

We can put it all on Kesavan
and walk free.

I'll give you as many
shops as you want.

Take this house too!

I'm loyal.

But I'm not a fool.

Don't!

Forgive me!

I'm an old man.

You're like my son.

Forgive me.

This one time.

You may not know what
death does to a family.

I've lived through it
since I was a kid.

The biggest pain was to realise that
those closest to me betrayed me.

I wondered why I had to endure
so much so early in life.

I could only think of one reason.

There are no good or
bad people in this world

All are unfortunate people
in search of fortune.

Venkatesan, on charges of kidnapping...

Illegal possession of a fire arm,
attempted murder...

Even though you aren't
implicitly involved.

You were an accessory.

On the recommendation of DRI
officer Syed Nawazuddin...

Venkatesan is granted a reduced sentence
of four years imprisonment.

It's easy to be born.

It's even easier to die.

Surviving in-between
is most difficult.

4 years later

SHANMUGAM JEWELLERS.

Hi
All the best

Hi Venkat.

Hope you like it.

The first 25 years of life
teaches you to live the rest of it.

With that experience I can
run this shop honestly

I can now differentate between
those who wish me well...

And those trying to use me.

All thanks to the friendships, loss and
betrayals I've survived.

Strength is not about
crushing the powerless.

Strength lies in a man's
ability to rise back up.

Wanderer! We bid you farewell.

The world is your motherland.

Oh wanderer! Son of these lands.

Your journey will take you home.

Where ever you wander,
where ever you look.

The sky is what you make it out to be.

The trees, the birds, and the
mountains are forever your's.

Fear not, for you are a
man of the people.

Better days lie ahead.

For each ending is just
a new beginning.

There is no journey without a path.

Believe, life will lead you
on the right one.

There is no life without a journey.

And so, live on the wanderers.
